[00:00] <ikonia> scarrs: is there a startup option that allows you to set the pak location ? or a parameter in the config file
[00:01] <scarrs> ikonia: I am not sure how to set the argument.... I have sucessfully run the game before with files in these locations I don't know what I'm doing wrong
[00:01] <ikonia> scarrs: check the documentation or --help on the command startup to see if there is flag
[00:02] <ikonia> also read the config file
[00:02] <scarrs> will try
[00:02] <scarrs>  biab

[00:11] <diverdude> How do i find uuid for a disk to put inside fstab?
[00:12] <danmichel> i installed Windows, OS X and Ubuntu. Chameleon is recognizing the Windows and OS X partitions and booting just fine to both, but it doesn't even see the Linux partitions. I have a 'reserved space for obis boot, '/' '/home' and 'swap'. Ubuntu is installed but i can't boot to it. I even did gptsync /dev/sda' from the install disk and all it sas is that the table is already synchronized and there is no need to do it again. thank in advance fo
[00:13] <bpietro> diverdude: blkid
[00:13] <ikonia> danmichel: what model mac is this on ?
[00:14] <bpietro> on terminal, lists all partitions with theirs UUID
[00:14] <danmichel> ikonia: hackintosh
[00:14] <ikonia> danmichel: then this converation is over
[00:14] <danmichel> umk, np bro
[00:14] <danmichel> haha, sorry to hear that
[00:17] <eazel7> hi there gazillion users. I cannot find an answer in google: what package do I have to install to have the "Droid Sans Regular" font?
[00:18] <ikonia> eazel7: do you know if it's actually in a package
[00:18] <sarsaeol> ttf-droid perhaps
[00:19] <sarsaeol> eazel7: ^
[00:19] <ikonia> sarsaeol: is that a real package ?
[00:19] <sarsaeol> it was back in the day
[00:19] <sarsaeol> dunno for 12.XX
[00:19] <themill> (it is in debian)
[00:20] <aaas> when does rc.local run?  after all init but before login?
[00:21] <doomgiver> how do i call a bash script from a GTK+ 3 button press? im using C, on ubuntu 12.10
[00:21] <eazel7> I'll try, thanks ikonia and sarsaeol
[00:21] <sarsaeol> np
[00:21] <cdavis> Anyone help me with "update-initramfs -u -v" stalling at "Copying module directory kernel/drivers/gpu"
[00:22] <ikonia> cdavis: someone was having this problem last week, it turned out to be a vbox module
[00:22] <eazel7> yay! thanks
[00:22] <sarsaeol> aaas: you are correct, it it the last of what is ruyn from /etc/rc.d/init.d
[00:22] <cdavis> ikonia: I think it is nvidia problems
[00:22] <aaas> sarsaeol thanks
[00:22] <eazel7> it should have been obvious... sleep deprivation isn't good...
[00:23] <ikonia> cdavis: gpu would suggest so, I'm just feeding back the issue on the previous similar issue
[00:23] <cdavis> ikonia: Thanks
[00:24] <cdavis> I can't do antying with apt or dpkg because of the update-initramfs problem :(
[00:24] <cdavis> so I am unable to remove and readd nvida drivers
[00:28] <diverdude> How do i use wget to fetch the ubuntu 12.10 server iso file?
[00:28] <trism> doomgiver: you can use http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-Spawning-Processes.html but not really on topic here
[00:28] <roxx> leave
[00:28] <ikonia> diverdude: wget path-to-iso
[00:29] <diverdude> ikonia, yeah but there is no path-to-iso
[00:29] <ikonia> diverdude: then you can't do it
[00:29] <diverdude> ikonia, it just has this path http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/thank-you?distro=server&bits=64&release=latest
[00:29] <ikonia> although there is a path to iso if you look at it properl
[00:30] <ikonia> y
[00:30] <ikonia> no, that's a URL
[00:30] <ikonia> if you check properly you'll see it references a link
[00:30] <diverdude> hmmm its not in the html source
[00:31] <diverdude> ah got it
[00:32] <themill> (not to mention all the validation errors on that page)
[00:33] <doomgiver> trism: thanks.
[00:51] <RiXtEr> Its quiet... a little too quiet...
[00:52] <SonikkuAmerica> No one ever has issues with Ubuntu at 8 PM EST... XD
[00:54] <fantasma> or, in my case no one has issues at 2 am UTC+1 ^
[00:54] <ScottJensen> no problems, no worries
[00:54] <SonikkuAmerica> XD (UTC-5) Good point
[00:55] <fantasma> East coast of the USA, or South America?^^
[00:56] <SonikkuAmerica> East Coast (Hence the "America")
[00:56] <RiXtEr> Its alright, #samba has just got quiet too, after about 2 solid days of offering support there I am getting a bit tired ;)
[00:57] <ouyes> after a fresh installation of ubuntu 12.04 amd64 desktop, all of the Fn keys don't work, what is wrong?
[00:57] <adam_8606> Hi, Can anyone help me play DivX encoded videos in ubuntu 12.10 please, Thanks

[00:58] <adam_8606> Hi, Can anyone help me play DivX encoded videos in ubuntu 12.10 please, Thanks
[00:58] <adam_8606> -----
[00:58] <SonikkuAmerica> adam_8606: VLC can do that
[00:59] <lsdjflsdjf> er
[00:59] <fantasma> ouyes: have you tried to unplug and replug the keyboard?
[00:59] <adam_8606> SonikkuAmerica it freezes and crashes every time I open the video
[00:59] <SonikkuAmerica> Hello lsdjflsdjf
[00:59] <number1235> Hi there does anyone know how to get graphics working in 12.10 with an ATI Radeon 4966 card on Ubuntu powerpc? I see there's a legacy AMD driver online but it's only for x86.
[00:59] <ouyes> fantasma, oh man, it is a notebook, asus n56vz
[00:59] <SonikkuAmerica> adam_8606: Hmm... unless anyone else has an immediate answer I'll Google it
[01:00] <fantasma> ouyes: oh sorry ^^ I read "Desktop" and assumed its a "Desktop PC" ^^
[01:00] <ouyes> fantasma, it's OK my mistake
[01:00] <SonikkuAmerica> adam_8606: It only does this for DivX videos?
[01:01] <adam_8606> SonikkuAmerica ya, other videos are fine
[01:01] <ouyes> after a fresh installation of ubuntu 12.04 amd64 desktop on my laptop ASUS N56VZ, all of the Fn keys don't work, what is wrong?
[01:01] <SonikkuAmerica> ouyes: I've heard that's a problem with some Asus models
[01:02] <SonikkuAmerica> Try reinstalling vlc-plugins-pulse: [ sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall vlc-plugins-pulse ]
[01:02] <ouyes> SonikkuAmerica, is there a solution now? as you heard
[01:02] <SonikkuAmerica> The --reinstall option is VITAL, don't leave it out
[01:03] <fantasma> ouyes: have you tried to update your bios?
[01:03] <ouyes> fantasma, this is almost the latest bios
[01:03] <fantasma> "According to Asus, this maybe an issue with the BIOS"
[01:04] <SonikkuAmerica> ouyes: Can you do a [ uname -a ] in the terminal and tell me what your Linux kernel version is?
[01:04] <fantasma> that would have been my second guess ^^
[01:05] <SonikkuAmerica> fantasma: Sometimes, but it says a kernel upgrade might be a solution
[01:05] <ouyes> SonikkuAmerica, Linux NAMLESS 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 27 17:03:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:06] <SonikkuAmerica> ouyes: There's your problem. Your kernel is less than 3.2.0-30-generic.
[01:06] <SonikkuAmerica> Just run Update Manager to get the latest kernel install.
[01:06] <SonikkuAmerica> (You may have to hit the "Check" button)

[01:07] <codeMonkey> Hello all.  I have completed the proper steps to install my Marvell TopDog wireless card in Ubuntu 12.10 using ndiswrapper.  I have attempted it roughly 7 times and have reinstalled ubuntu to be sure.  Help would be appreciated by anybody free :)
[01:07] <fantasma> I found something here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/156708/how-to-get-multimedia-keys-working-at-my-asus-n56vz-ubuntu-12-04-notebook
[01:08] <SonikkuAmerica> codeMonkey: Help on what?
[01:09] <codeMonkey> To clarify:  I do not see any wireless networks listed, but connection manager lets me modify the wireless tab.  However, even with manual input, it does not connect
[01:09] <jaz-hands> Yo, wouldn't suppose someone has an invite only usenet to share with a humble stranger?
[01:09] <codeMonkey> sonikkuAmerica: I am ready to pastebin anything needed :)
[01:10] <Keoklz> .
[01:11] <widviu> apt-get is trying to remove gnome and all things vital from my system when installing xampp. what the hell is going on?
[01:11] <jrib> !ot | jaz-hands
[01:11] <SonikkuAmerica> codeMonkey: I know this page concerns a deprecated version of Ubuntu but are you having a problem similar to this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1303957
[01:12] <jaz-hands> Ah, my mistake.
[01:12] <SonikkuAmerica> codeMonkey: And if that's the case, what kind of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.) are you using?
[01:13] <codeMonkey> SonikkuAmerica: It is indeed a page I have read through in an attempt to solve my issue as his original problem (needing to install Marvell TopDog) is the same.  However, I do not share the error messages he does
[01:13] <codeMonkey> SonikkuAmerica:  In fact, I have no errors.....just no networks listed
[01:15] <subz3r0> codeMonkey: try: "sudo ifconfig interface down && sudo ifconfig interface up" (where interface is your wlan device. eg wlan0) then try "iwlist interface scanning
[01:15] <subz3r0> sometimes the networkmanager just makes problems
[01:16] <subz3r0> if you dont see any networks then, you can go further
[01:16] <codeMonkey> subz3r0: iwconfig does not list any wireless devices :/
[01:17] <ouyes> SonikkuAmerica, I run sudo apt-get update and upgrade but the kernel is still 3.2.0.29
[01:17] <ouyes> SonikkuAmerica, what did I miss
[01:17] <subz3r0> codeMonkey: ahh, ok. so no wonder that the networkmanager just shows nothing :)
[01:17] <subz3r0> try to fix the driver issue. check with dmesg if the interface is shown
[01:18] <subz3r0> and or lsusb/lspci. depends on what card it is (pci or usb)
[01:18] <subz3r0> NETSPLIT, NETSPLIT YES YES YEAH :D
[01:18] <SonikkuAmerica> ouyes: Couldn't tell ya, I exist for general diagnostic purposes.
[01:18] <codeMonkey> subz3r0:  Yea..I just cant figure out why it doesnt list it....   http://pastebin.com/e6Epym4g
[01:19] <subz3r0> looks like a driver issue
[01:20] <adam_8606> SonikkuAmerica: VLC stil not working - keeps crashing. does it matter that I only have 1 GiB of RAM
[01:20] <subz3r0> @codeMonkey
[01:20] <subz3r0> adam_8606: no. vlc doesnt need that much rum
[01:20] <codeMonkey> subz3r0: Well any advice on getting the Marvell TopDog installed on Ubuntu 12.10 then? :)
[01:20] <Dreas> Hello everyone!
[01:21] <subz3r0> codeMonkey: you got the newest driver for your version? 32 o. 64 bit?
[01:21] <subz3r0> hi Dreas
[01:21] <AndChat|345984> subz3r0 I need that much rum!
[01:21] <widviu> any idea why apt-get install xampp would attempt to remove gnome, python, update-manager?
[01:21] <codeMonkey> subz3r0: Running 32 bit Ubuntu and I have to use XP 32 Bit drivers with ndiswrapper
[01:21] <adam_8606> subz3ro - But i'm trying to play a divX video in vlc and it keeps freezing and crashing
[01:21] <Dreas> Just a quick question. How fast can I learn to use linux ubuntu in a way I now use Windows 7 (quick keys, using the terminal without too much of a hassle) Because I am incredibly SICK of windows.
[01:22] <subz3r0> AndChat|345984: dont drink to much rum... u feel dizzy with too much of rum...
[01:22] <subz3r0> Dreas, depends on your will to learn the things
[01:22] <adam_8606> Dreas - I picked it up really quickly
[01:22] <Dreas> I mean dear lord! I just started learning OO languages and I just wanna be able to work without 50 notices bugging me.
[01:23] <subz3r0> adam_8606: doesnt fix your problem, but why not mplayer? (smplayer)
[01:23] <fantasma> dreas: learning how to use ubuntu involves a lot of reading
[01:23] <codeMonkey> subz3r0:  It seems that compat-wireless actually makes a driver for it :) win.  Thanks for your time
[01:23] <Dreas> I hear it's quite complicated to understand the terminal and installing software.
[01:23] <subz3r0> adam_8606: start vlc within the shell/terminal to open the file and check what the log says
[01:23] <Dreas> fantasma I spent a few nights reading API's
[01:23] <subz3r0> codeMonkey: :)
[01:24] <adam_8606> thanks subz3r0 i'll try that
[01:25] <fantasma> Dreas: Well, somehting that I do very often is to read manpages of the Shell commands (example: man whois)
[01:25] <subz3r0> Dreas, like i said... it depends on you.
[01:25] <Dreas> Is it like the /? command in most codepads?
[01:25] <subz3r0> the ubuntu wikis are very nice to learn
[01:26] <fantasma> exactly
[01:26] <AndChat|345984> Speaking of all the reading about ubuntu I don't do. Is there any talk of moving away from the newish ubuntu UI?
[01:26] <subz3r0> no its not
[01:26] <subz3r0> --help or /? etc... will give you mostly just a short overview, while the man pages will give you almost all information
[01:27] <dr_willis> redhat used to sell a big thick book of the printed manpages.  keep it in the bathroom for reading... and eat lots of fiber.....
[01:27] <AndChat|345984> Darn.
[01:27] <Dreas> I'm really just starting to learn to program but I really want to get better at it. And my cousin swears by Linux. Is it really as good as he makes it out to be or is it user depending?
[01:28] <dr_willis> i dont find unity newbish..
[01:28] <Dreas> subz3r0 so it is like API's.
[01:28] <subz3r0> Deas: e.g open a terminal and type "man cp" or "man mv" for the manual, you can quit it by scrolling completely down or just hit q
[01:28] <XiaolinDraconis> so i step over to my desktop for the first time in days, and notice a text file is open. usually my girls leaves me notes like that, but this definitely is not her.
[01:28] <XiaolinDraconis> it says
[01:28] <XiaolinDraconis> cmd /c echo hi &exit
[01:28] <XiaolinDraconis> echo You got owned
[01:28] <XiaolinDraconis> hilarious
[01:28] <kvothetech> Dreas: it's as good as you make it...linux lets you make your system how you want it so if it's bad youcan probably blame yourself
[01:29] <subz3r0> XiaolinDraconis: sounds like someone is havin fun with u :)
[01:29] <Dreas> What about drivers?
[01:29] <XiaolinDraconis> indeed it does
[01:29] <subz3r0>  Dreas, most things "should" work out of the box
[01:29] <subz3r0> you will find here and there some incompatibilities
[01:29] <subz3r0> but hopefully not at all :)
[01:30] <Dreas> Whenever someone uses quotation marks I start to wonder.
[01:30] <dr_willis> ive had more issues with drivers in windows than linux. ;-)
[01:30] <XiaolinDraconis> i think i should probably not have my screen sharing application listening to ports at all times
[01:30] <subz3r0> dr_willis, agreed ;)
[01:30] <fantasma> Yeah me too. I was shocked how easy it was to install nvidia drivers on my machine
[01:31] <subz3r0> fantasma, compiled by hand? Or just clicked on "install" ;)
[01:31] <fantasma> nope i installed the nvidia-current xD
[01:31] <subz3r0> installing cuda etc... can be a bit tricky by hand
[01:32] <fantasma> well I have no problems with CUDA (since I make renders with blender) ^^
[01:32] <fantasma> using GPU for rendering
[01:32] <subz3r0> dont know much about blender. but how does the gpu encoding works without cuda with a nvidia card?
[01:33] <subz3r0> encoding ~ rendering
[01:33] <Kanada> Dr_willis do you select your hardware fot linux combatability?
[01:33] <fantasma> it works like I was running it with Windows.
[01:33] <Dreas> lol
[01:34] <Dreas> Ubuntu installer?
[01:34] <subz3r0> Kanada, cant be a bad idea so check if there are issues BEFORE you buy something :)
[01:34] <Dreas> You can install ubuntu from windows?
[01:34] <Dreas> Yer kidding me right?
[01:34] <subz3r0> to check...
[01:34] <Dreas> You guys are joking?
[01:34] <fantasma> Just insert the disc while running windows ^
[01:34] <subz3r0> Dreas, you can use WUBI, but I strongly recommend NOT to use it :)
[01:34] <Jeruvy> !wubi | Dreas
[01:34] <fantasma> it starts an installer
[01:34] <subz3r0> never ever use wubi
[01:34] <fantasma> ah wubi
[01:35] <Dreas> Why not?
[01:35] <subz3r0> dont know whats about now, but heard canonical is going to get rid of wubi in the future
[01:35] <subz3r0> Dreas, just because... ;)
[01:35] <Dreas> Allrighty
[01:36] <fantasma> If you really want to run Ubuntu just like an "application" under windows, I prefer to use Viritual Box ^^
[01:36] <Dreas> I'll do it the traditional way
[01:37] <Dreas> Why is it recommending me a 32 bit version of linux? I have 64 bit windows... (sorry for all the questions I'm just still really in doubt about this)
[01:37] <fantasma> Just ask :)
[01:37] <Kanada> Subz3r0 I did with my last build. I was just asking because there are a lot of devices that don't work for linux. I was suprised to hear some one say that they had a better experince with linux compatability the linux.
[01:37] <jrib> Dreas: that's just because 32bit will work on more systems.  If you have a 64bit system, you should probably choose 64bit
[01:37] <ouyes> Linux NAMLESS 3.4.0-030400-generic #201205210521 SMP Mon May 21 09:22:02 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux this is my latest kernel but the Fn keys still don't work
[01:38] <subz3r0> Dreas, use the 64bit version
[01:38] <subz3r0> Kanada, I just can talk for myself, I never had any issues with hardware in the last x years. Just ages ago with this -censored- ATI cards :)
[01:39] <subz3r0> but since then i would never buy an ati card again =)
[01:39] <Dreas> Thanks! My goodness you guys are helpfull. Really appreciate it! Another question. I have 2 graphics cards. One which runs most of the time and is onboard. The other is a monster graphics card and runs when I play video games. Will this work in Ubuntu as well?
[01:39] <Dreas> (this way my batterie doesn't die instantly when I run on battery juices)
[01:39] <subz3r0> Dreas, no idea.
[01:40] <fantasma> I've got two graphic cards too (but not onboard)
[01:40] <fantasma> it works with me
[01:40] <fantasma> but since one of them is onboard I really can't tell if it will work..
[01:40] <ouyes> hello guys, my Fn keys don't work on my laptop, laptop module is asus n56vz and kernel is Linux NAMLESS 3.4.0-030400-generic #201205210521 SMP Mon May 21 09:22:02 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux do you have any ideas to fix it?
[01:41] <fantasma> Dreas: Can you give me some information about these graphics cards?
[01:41] <Kanada> Subz3r0 sound cards and complicated input devices are what comes to mind when I think about driver issues.
[01:41] <Dreas> Yeah but when I run on windows I can last around 5 hours without a power outlet. Since I'm on the train a lot (I Sometimes work in the south of my country whilst I live in the north) I depend on it...
[01:41] <Dreas> fantasma sure thing!
[01:42] <Dreas> the onboard crappy one is an Intel HD graphics 4000.
[01:42] <Dreas> The big one is an Nvidia Geforce GT 630M
[01:45] <fantasma> Dreas: Okay. Since they are from different manufacturers, I can't tell if it really works :( You'll have to try it
[01:45] <Dreas> fantasma Thanks I probably will!
[01:45] <XiaolinDraconis> im gonna hope and pray that that text file was the result of me not having a password on my desktop sharing app
[01:46] <Dreas> I just wish laptop company's would support Linux
[01:46] <fantasma> Dreas: Are you planning to play games?
[01:46] <makkusu> 9
[01:46] <fantasma> Dreas: Oh they do. You can find a list of supported laptops on ubuntu.com
[01:47] <Dreas> Not really I just want to program without being bothered by 50 messages like: "are you sure?" and "are you really sure?" and "it might damage your computer!" and "you need to be sure!" and "want to make sure?" and "here's some info to be sure!"
[01:47] <fantasma> Yeah.. that is very annoying.. It all started with VISTA ^^
[01:47] <XiaolinDraconis> ME Redux
[01:48] <Dreas> Well I have tried the apple OSX one. But man... That's even more annoying!
[01:48] <Dreas> It's like a unicorn crapped on a tea-party with mary poppins. Everything polished like some kind of... well... you know what I mean...
[01:48] <marco> Dreas, I joined in the middle of this convo but it seems like you want to run ubuntu on your laptop but are having problems with hardware support.  It's not optimal, but if you can't get sufficient hardware support in ubuntu for your laptop, you should consider running ubuntu full screen in a vm
[01:48] <fantasma> Well, I like the OS X because of the design (got an iMac too).
[01:49] <marco> Dreas, if you aren't doing any graphics intensive tasks you'll get 90%+ of native performance
[01:49] <XiaolinDraconis> Dreas, read as much as you can about firewalls on linux, then run ur system as root. it'll never ask you silly questions like that again
[01:50] <Dreas> marco I'll be using my windows installation for games and stuff like that. I want to use Linux to learn about Java programming and OO-PHP.
[01:50] <mL500> Has anyone had experience using a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard on Ubuntu? If so, are there any drivers that will make the extra buttons work (such as the volume and calculator buttons)? I googled it, but I didn't find anything.
[01:50] <whoever> hi all is there a more reliable flase plugin that adobe? everytime , i have tried to install it , i am getting error package installation or removal faild
[01:51] <alexhairyman> chrome has its own that works pretty well
[01:51] <alexhairyman> pepper flash or something
[01:51] <Dreas> fantasma Well it's great if you like it! ^_^ it's just not my cup of tea.
[01:52] <Dreas> XiaolinDraconis I heird it can be dangerous to do that... Is it?
[01:52] <fantasma> Dreas: of course I prefer ubuntu for working (My iMAc is just a very expensive Media Library ^^)
[01:52] <marco> Dreas, yes, you shouldn't run as root
[01:52] <XiaolinDraconis> its the same as running as administrator for windows
[01:52] <XiaolinDraconis> its dangerous, to a degree
[01:52] <marco> it is not the same as running as administrator on windows. administrator on windows is still prompted for permission by UAC
[01:53] <alexhairyman> yeah, but when root, no questions asked, everything is run
[01:53] <XiaolinDraconis> im sure if i had been running as root then that text file with a note in it would or could have been a much bigger problem
[01:53] <Dreas> fantasma heh Yeah I geuss it's flashy and awesome for that!
[01:53] <marco> sudo is a good solution because you choose what's being run with superuser privileges
[01:54] <fantasma> Well, I never have annoying "are you sure" messages (only when installing new packages or trying to change files that are not supposed to be changed easily)
[01:54] <fantasma> Dreas: By the way: What Laptop do you have?
[01:54] <XiaolinDraconis> but then there's that annoying confirmation message he is trying to avoid
[01:54] <MeganLWoulffe> Good evening
[01:54] <alexhairyman> apt-get gets around those nicely
[01:54] <alexhairyman> fast too :)
[01:55] <Dreas> fantasma: The second love of my life besides my woman, Lenovo Ideapad Z580.
[01:55] <Dreas> xD
[01:55] <MeganLWoulffe> So, hey guys, been working on this one half the night. I installed updates (didn't pay attention to which ones, but can look that up), and after I rebooted, my wireless can see my network, but it won't connect to it at all. I have reinstalled the drivers for my wifi, no change
[01:56] <marco> MeganLWoulffe, have you connected successfully to that network before the update?
[01:56] <MeganLWoulffe> yes
[01:57] <pbt> !code
[01:57] <MeganLWoulffe> Also, since it's probably relevant, it's 12.04
[01:57] <marco> MeganLWoulffe, open the list of networks
[01:58] <marco> and delete the network you're trying to connect to
[01:58] <userZ> is it common to find pre unity ubuntu runs smoother on older hardware?
[01:58] <MeganLWoulffe> I have tried that, went to reconnect, it accepts the key, but then keeps trying to connect.
[01:59] <XiaolinDraconis> ubuntu 8.04 runs pretty smooth on older hardware
[01:59] <Radiant> hey guys
[01:59] <dr_willis> theres a few new distros out with a focus on old hardwars. saw them on distrowatch web site
[01:59] <Radiant> i just installed ubuntu and i f'd up
[02:00] <MeganLWoulffe> Radiant, we've all been there.
[02:00] <Radiant> i have a laptop with an nvidia graphics card (gt 525m)
[02:00] <Radiant> and i installed proprietary nvidia drivers....
[02:00] <userZ> i found 10 runs smoother than 12 on an athlon x2
[02:00] <Radiant> an then whoosh... my resolution shrunk to 640x480 and unity wouldn't start
[02:01] <Radiant> well i unistalled nvidia drivers and installed bumblebee drivers
[02:01] <Radiant> now everything works normally, except that my resolution is still 640x480 :(
[02:01] <Radiant> anyone knows how can i fix that?
[02:02] <fantasma> Dreas: Well, I hope we were able to help you with your decision regarding ubuntu :)
[02:02] <fantasma> Since it's 3 am here, I'll go get some sleep ;) See you guys
[02:02] <Dreas> fantasma you most certianetly have. I'm downloading it right now.
[02:03] <Dreas> lol same here!
[02:03] <Radiant> lol 3AM here, too
[02:03] <Radiant> where are you from guys?
[02:03] <fantasma> Germany
[02:03] <Radiant> ah cool
[02:03] <Dreas> Netherlands
[02:03] <Radiant> cool
[02:03] <Radiant> i'm from Serbia
[02:04] <Dreas> anyway I'm gonna lie on 1 ear as well. Might be a good idea since I have to get up in 4 hours. XD
[02:04] <MeganLWoulffe> this drives me crazy sometimes
[02:05] <fantasma> I got 5 hours :P
[02:05] <Radiant> well, good night peeps
[02:05] <fantasma> so, good night / evening / day everyone ^^
[02:05] <Dreas> goo night!
[02:07] <MeganLWoulffe> well, since there's no one else popping up with ideas, time to look at new distros!
[02:07] <MeganLWoulffe> night everyone
[02:07] <Radiant> night
[02:12] <innmalint_> I have a storage partition on my desktop and want to have an exact copy of it on an external usb. do i just use rsync?
[02:13] <CrypticSquared> innmalint_: i don't see why not.
[02:13] <[snake]> I want to take a screenshot and save it over ssh. Is there a command that will screenshot the running x session?
[02:13] <ikonia> [snake]: the default screen shot application will do this
[02:13] <innmalint_> CrypticSquared: I'm mainly asking in case there is a better option.
[02:13] <innmalint_> [snake] check out scrot
[02:14] <[snake]> ikonia im using ssh terminal on phone
[02:14] <[snake]> Ok
[02:14] <ikonia> [snake]: then how do you expect to take a screen shot of the desktop if you are not on it ?
[02:14] <[snake]> Idk -display 0.0
[02:14] <ikonia> scrot is launchable from the commandline but it connects to the current X session, which if you're not on it, maybe a problem
[02:15] <dr_willis> and the x security stuff may not allow it
[02:15] <ouyes> hi a very stupid question, can I install the latest kernel to my laptop, right now I have kernel 3.04
[02:15] <ouyes> 3.4.0
[02:15] <dr_willis> ouyes:  what ubuntu release?
[02:16] <[snake]> Can import screenshot.png -display [idk what to put here] work?
[02:17] <ikonia> ouyes: why do you want the latest kernel
[02:17] <Nat> any body know a lucas dohring
[02:18] <ikonia> a what ?
[02:18] <dr_willis> [snake]:  if x forwarding is turned off, and you have xhost allowing it. then '0.0' might work
[02:18] <Nat> a person buy the name of lucas dohring
[02:18] <ikonia> no, and it's not relevant to this channel
[02:18] <Nat> ok
[02:18] <ouyes> dr_willis, Linux NAMLESS 3.4.0-030400-generic #201205210521 SMP Mon May 21 09:22:02 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I need the latest kernel because my Fn keys don't work on 3.4.0
[02:19] <ouyes> ikonia,
[02:19] <ikonia> that doesn't look like an ubuntu kernel
[02:19] <ikonia> ouyes: do you know your key problem is fixed in a later release ?
[02:19] <[snake]> dr_willis it didnt werk. I guess i will have to wait until I arrive home...
[02:19] <ouyes> ikonia, somebody told me it is solved
[02:19] <ikonia> ouyes: have you checked ?
[02:20] <sasori> hey all.  anyone know another chrome based browser for linux, not chromium???
[02:20] <userZ> sasori, why not chromium?
[02:20] <[snake]> Sasori i think google has just chrome for linix
[02:20] <sasori> userZ: because i am using it, but have to gmail based accounts to sign into
[02:20] <[snake]> Linux*
[02:21] <sasori> two, not to
[02:21] <sasori> lol
[02:21] <dr_willis> the gmail.com web site lets you log into several accounts at once
[02:21] <[snake]> Yes
[02:21] <arsa> go to google and type chrome, download and install linux version
[02:21] <dr_willis> chromium and google-chrome
[02:21] <[snake]> Thst too^
[02:21] <sasori> with the same brwoser?  last time i tried that it kept loggin in and out
[02:22] <adam_8606> does anyone want to help me with a DivX codec problem ive been having for a few minutes????? If so private chat me, thanks
[02:22] <dr_willis> sasori:  its a feature of gmail i saw just yesterday
[02:22] <sasori> hmmmmmmmmmmm that may solve my issues
[02:22] <[snake]> Sasori you click on your name and add accounys
[02:22] <sasori> cause the thing is one account is work, and one is personal
[02:22] <dr_willis> adam_8606:  best to keep it in the channel
[02:23] <ouyes> ikonia, that is why I want to install the latest kernel, by the way, is there any risk to install the latest kernel in ubuntu 12.04?
[02:23] <[snake]> Or switch accounts or something
[02:23] <adam_8606> I want to send someone a divx file to see if it works in their computer... it doesnt on mine
[02:23] <ikonia> ouyes: 1.) the kernel you are running doesn't look like an ubuntu kernel, where did that come  from ? 2.) changing the kernel is not something you should on a whim,
[02:24] <ouyes> ikonia, nope it is definitely an ubuntu kernel
[02:24] <sasori> lol [snake] your right, it can do multiple.  perhaps one running in normal and one running in private....
[02:24] <ouyes> ikonia, I use uname -a
[02:24] <ikonia> ouyes: show me the output of uname -a again please.
[02:24] <sasori> thing is i dont want my work to connect to my personal.  not sure how they would but its on their netwrok so im sure possible
[02:24] <ouyes> Linux NAMLESS 3.4.0-030400-generic #201205210521 SMP Mon May 21 09:22:02 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:24] <adam_8606> dr_willis : you want to give me a hand???
[02:24] <ikonia> sasori: it's ssl - they can't do anything
[02:25] <[snake]> Jusy buy a laptop for personal then sasoris
[02:25] <dr_willis> adam_8606:  im on a cellphone.. so no. ;)
[02:25] <snapshots> does wine loads all windows based apps?
[02:25] <snapshots> anyone? thanks
[02:25] <ikonia> snapshots: no
[02:25] <[snake]> Bye all
[02:25] <snapshots> oh ok
[02:25] <ikonia> ouyes: looks an odd version number, the one thing I'd advise is really research if an update will fix your problem before doing it
[02:26] <sasori> ikonia: cool thanks.  and [snake] this is a laptop i bought for work, but need to use personal email for other stuff, which is work related.  consfusing, i know...
[02:26] <snapshots> ikonia: so how would i know which of the apps would run?
[02:26] <dr_willis> adam_8606:  does vlc give any error when trying to play it?
[02:26] <ouyes> ikonia, what kind of update?
[02:26] <adam_8606> dr_willis : it just freezes and crashes
[02:26] <dr_willis> !appdb > snapshots
[02:26] <ikonia> snapshots: read the winedb - however do not depend on wine as a solution as something that works fine today my totally break tomorrow
[02:27] <ikonia> ouyes: a kernel update
[02:27] <ouyes> ikonia, why it is not a good way to install the latest kernel?
[02:27] <peepsalot> how can i extract the audio from an ogv video file
[02:27] <peepsalot> i need to convert it to raw PCM format
[02:27] <ikonia> ouyes: sorry, pardon ?
[02:27] <erncic> snapshots: check the appdb at winehq.org
[02:27] <peepsalot> i tried avidemux but it won't load the file
[02:27] <dr_willis> adam_8606:  try reencoding it with ffmpeg or mplayer - see what they say about it
[02:27] <ouyes> ikonia, a kernel update , I just know sudo apt-get update and upgrade, how to update a kernel?
[02:28] <dr_willis> peepsalot:  ffmpeg or mencoder should be able to do it.
[02:28] <ikonia> ouyes: it won't work, as for that method to work there has to be a package released by ubuntu
[02:28] <ikonia> ouyes: thats why I'm saying checking it works before considering doing it is a "must"
[02:28] <dr_willis> adam_8606:  try reencoding it with ffmpeg or mencoder. :) could try to play it in mplayer
[02:29] <adam_8606> dr_willis : ill try that now thanks
[02:29] <ouyes> ikonia, is this the latest ubuntu kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-rc8-raring/?
[02:29] <ikonia> ouyes: that is from an unreleased pre-alpha version
[02:29] <ikonia> ouyes: I strongly advise you not to use it
[02:29] <D-coy> o/
[02:29] <ikonia> ouyes: I strongly advise you not to even considering upgrading your kernel beyond what ubuntu offers without a very good reason
[02:30] <NCS_One> hi
[02:31] <NCS_One> how can I disable the efect when we change desktops?
[02:31] <ouyes> ikonia, but there is no good way to fix the problem
[02:31] <ikonia> ouyes: you don't even know if the kernel update will fix the problem
[02:31] <ikonia> ouyes: that's why I'm saying "check" before you considering updating
[02:31] <ouyes> ikonia, somebody said it would fix the problem
[02:32] <ikonia> ouyes: "it won't fix the problem" ---- there, just because I've said it does that make it right/fact
[02:32] <ikonia> ouyes: no, it doesn't
[02:32] <ikonia> ouyes: CHECK
[02:32] <ouyes> ikonia, HOW to CHECK? without a try
[02:32] <NCS_One> I have key short cuts to change descktops and alot of times it freezes my ubuntu or it start getting alot of breaks. I'm on ubuntu 12.04
[02:33] <ikonia> ouyes: you research what's changed/fixed in the version that you think has fixed it and see how it's applied to your problem
[02:33] <hal9k2010> Hello
[02:33] <peepsalot> dr_willis, is there something with a gui?  sorting through all these command line flags is tedious
[02:38] <causative> somehow keyboard repeating has turned off, how do I turn it back on?
[02:38] <causative> i.e. I press a key and it just outputs the one character no matter how long I hold the key down
[02:38] <peepsalot> some computer set that in bios i believe
[02:39] <causative> it just happened as I was sitting here though
[02:39] <causative> no reboot or anything
[02:39] <studog> Was wondering if anyone could give me a hand. trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 64bit onto a Dell 6850 running a PERC 5i with 5 x 2TB SATA drives. The install went fine everything seemed ok until I rebooted... now all I get is error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'. grub rescue>
[02:44] <dr_willis> causative:  ive seen some weird crashes cause that. quickest fix may be yo restartx  or reboot
[02:45] <causative> I think cnee probably caused it
[02:45] <causative> recording and replaying mouse and keyboard events
[02:46] <ouyes> ikonia, if you see me here again, that will be after I get the latest kernel
[02:46] <ikonia> ouyes: it's up to you what you do
[02:46] <ikonia> I'm not really interested
[02:46] <ikonia> I've offered you warnings/advice
[02:47] <studog> Anyone have any ideas?
[02:47] <ikonia> studog: are you running the card in a raid config ?
[02:48] <mrdeb> hi
[02:49] <snapshots> ubottu: thanks for the info
[02:51] <dr_willis> snapshots:  the various commands are bot triggers
[02:51] <dr_willis> !bot
[02:51] <dr_willis>  so stuff with !whatever = bot command
[02:51] <snapshots> dr_willis : thanks

[03:05] <studog> ikonia had asked if I was running in a RAID and yes I have all 5 2TB drives in a RAID 5
[03:05] <dr_willis> i doubt if many people know what a Perc 5I is  studog  ;)
[03:05] <dr_willis> i dont use raid. so no ideas. the forums and askubuntu.com site may have info on it
[03:06] <studog>  /sigh they do not...
[03:06] <dr_willis> theres the raid wiki page also
[03:06] <dr_willis> all i know on raid.
[03:06] <studog> been all over google and the wikis
[03:07] <dr_willis> isent common  in ther psst to put /boot/ outside the raid?
[03:08] <Krustyklimber> hi I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to load drivers
[03:09] <studog> dr_willis thats not an option I would have to take a drive out of the RAID 5 or retro fit one into the sever.
[03:11] <Krustyklimber> hi I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to load drivers for my webcam (built into my laptop)
[03:11] <shockingbehavur> !ubottu
[03:12] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  does it work with the cheese program?
[03:12] <Krustyklimber> can anyone tell me how I access the "terminal" maybe?
[03:12] <dr_willis> type in terminal at the dash search field.
[03:12] <dr_willis> or al-ctrl-t  i belive

[03:13] <Krustyklimber> Dr Willis, I am new to ubuntu... I don't know what cheese is
[03:13] <shockingbehavur> can anyone tell me how to resolve an error -110 on ubuntu precise
[03:13] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  then how are you testing the webcam?
[03:13] <dr_willis> !info cheese
[03:14] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  install cheese, see if the webcam works
[03:14] <Krustyklimber> I went to my messenger and tried using the cam... nothin :P
[03:15] <Krustyklimber> ok guys I am mostly computer illierate LOL
[03:15] <dr_willis> try cheese then.  it might work there.. that would show you have the proper drivers
[03:16] <Krustyklimber> I put cheese in the dash ... not there
[03:16] <shockingbehavur> dr willis have you any idea how to resole an error -110 on ubuntu precise
[03:17] <dr_willis> thats a little vague shockingbehavur .. whats giving the error
[03:17] <shockingbehavur> it's the media player
[03:17] <shockingbehavur> it is not loading onto system
[03:17] <Krustyklimber> ok installing cheese now :)
[03:18] <shockingbehavur> i've got quirk loaded
[03:18] <dr_willis> info quirk
[03:18] <shockingbehavur> it is a generic player
[03:18] <dr_willis> !info quirk
[03:19] <dr_willis> never heard of it
[03:19] <Krustyklimber> oh I am also getting a warning about my battery "critically low" when my battery is about 5 seconds from fully charged... it shuts off my puter with like 2 hours left
[03:19] <coop999> how do i get my password back for Ubuntu IRC chat?
[03:19] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  your laptop may be so new it has issues that are not worked out yet
[03:19] <Krustyklimber> woooot! cam works in cheese now
[03:19] <Krustyklimber> my hard drive is new
[03:19] <dr_willis> coop999:  ask in #freenode
[03:20] <Krustyklimber> brand new
[03:20] <Krustyklimber> I bought the cd with 12.04 and loaded it
[03:20] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  thats often the worse possible case for ubuntu
[03:20] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  id try 12.10 on it
[03:21] <Krustyklimber> 12.10? wonder why they didn't send that?
[03:22] <Krustyklimber> when my hard drive died Sony and Microsoft told me to take a hike :(
[03:22] <dr_willis> no idea who you are talking about
[03:22] <dr_willis> this is why you make restore dvd sets with a new windows pc. ;)
[03:22] <dr_willis> brand new laptop and the hd died?
[03:23] <blbe> anybody has time and the right mood to answer one simple javascript related question..?
[03:23] <Krustyklimber> yeah I wish I had known how to do that... no laptop about a year old... my gf has issues with gravity :P
[03:23] <Krustyklimber> so I had to but new hd
[03:24] <Krustyklimber> got  solid state one now ;)
[03:24] <Krustyklimber> *buy
[03:24] <Krustyklimber> I do have a copy of my old hd on my external hd
[03:25] <dr_willis> make a restore dvd set? normally the first boot of windows tells you to.. or the docs.. or sony will sell you a restore disk
[03:25] <dr_willis> if your old hd is dead how you going to copy it?
[03:25] <Krustyklimber> I bought my puter, and they installed windows at the store for me
[03:25] <dr_willis> seems... weird..
[03:25] <Krustyklimber> I copied it months ago
[03:25] <shockingbehavur> !info usbquirk
[03:26] <ubuntu-studio> So ubiquity crashes on ubuntu studio 12.10... it wiped my windows and the only things i can do are in live environment, anyone willing to help me sort this out
[03:26] <Krustyklimber> I bought an external drive and copied everything I had to it
[03:26] <dr_willis> for a 1+ yr old pc 12.04 or 12.10 should work. 12.10 may be a better plan
[03:27] <Krustyklimber> thanks for your patience Doc... I'm not a computer guy
[03:28] <Krustyklimber> Sony sent me to Ubuntu support... said I am "out of warranty"
[03:28] <Krustyklimber> took me an hour to find my way in here lol
[03:28] <ubuntu-studio> I call bollows on that
[03:29] <dr_willis> try 12.10 - is my advice. good luck
[03:29] <Krustyklimber> ...said they only support window
[03:29] <Krustyklimber> +s
[03:29] <jav77> hello. I need some help in resizing a display.

[03:31] <dr_willis> i turn off overscan on my samsung tv
[03:31] <ubuntu-studio> and try to find an option there
[03:31] <linuxuser1> I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and I was looking at the system settings and there are two icons for "Online Accounts" Are there supposed to be 2?
[03:31] <ubuntu-studio> I have a vizio tv i had to use the sync option
[03:32] <Krustyklimber> so should I burn a cd with 12.10?
[03:32] <linuxuser1> Anyone?
[03:33] <jav77> i have no such feature on my samsung
[03:34] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  err.. if you want to install from cd.. yes.. and 12.10 needs a dvd
[03:34] <jav77> in windows, the viewing area is 1880x1048. On each OS, the TV reports its a 72", so things are cut off
[03:34] <linuxuser1> Krustyklimber: I would recommend you put it on a flashdrive
[03:34] <Krustyklimber> lol yeah dvd (am I a total dork or what :P)
[03:36] <Krustyklimber> lol oh sure, now I gotta go dig around for a flash drive :P
[03:36] <dizzy_> HI?
[03:36] <dr_willis> hello
[03:36] <linuxuser1> hi
[03:37] <ubuntu-studio> dr_willis,  ubiquity crashes on ubuntu studio 12.10... it wiped my windows and the only things i can do are in live environment, anyone willing to help me sort this out
[03:37] <ubuntu-studio> any idea man\
[03:37] <ubuntu-studio> i am completely stuck without an os
[03:37] <jav77> i went and bought this card because I saw that the support for nvidia with linux was better than radeon, but yet the radeon software seams easier to use. how can I resize the output?
[03:38] <dr_willis> i have to wonder how it whiped out your windows
[03:39] <ubuntu-studio> I am not sure
[03:39] <dr_willis> jav77 i definatly seem to recall a scale/resize feature in the nvidia-settings tool.
[03:39] <dr_willis> but then i found the  no-overscan setting on the tv
[03:39] <ubuntu-studio> I am not stupid when it comes to computers i have a few certs
[03:39] <dr_willis> a 46 in one about a year old
[03:39] <ubuntu-studio> but I've no idea what to do now
[03:40] <ubuntu-studio> every install fails
[03:40] <dr_willis> fails where?
[03:40] <ubuntu-studio> it goes to copying files
[03:40] <ubuntu-studio> and then just closes
[03:40] <ubuntu-studio> liek it did it a few minutes ago
[03:41] <dr_willis> monitor dmesg output as it fails? or run ubiquity from a terminal and look for errors
[03:41] <shockingbehavur> !info mp4
[03:41] <dr_willis> would be somwthing to do to get some clues
[03:41] <ubuntu-studio> i ran it in terminal
[03:41] <ubuntu-studio> illegal operation is the single output
[03:42] <dr_willis> and any dmesg errors?
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> root@ubuntu-studio:/home/ubuntu-studio# ubiquity
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> Illegal instruction
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> root@ubuntu-studio:/home/ubuntu-studio#
[03:42] <ubuntu-studio> that is all

[03:42] <Krustyklimber> ok one last thing... I use foxfi with my phone, but I'd rather use something like PDAnet tethered
[03:44] <k1ll3nt1m3> hey hows it going
[03:45] <jav77> i am looking at the tool now and there isnt a resize in 304.64. is there an add on or something?
[03:45] <k1ll3nt1m3> Anyone know a good non gui C++ IDE with debugging and code compiler for ubuntu 12.04 ?
[03:46] <dr_willis> jav77:  im not at home so i cant look at mine
[03:46] <dr_willis> k1ll3nt1m3:  non gui would be 'emacs' ;)
[03:47] <jav77> everything I look at says to change the cvt or modelines or xorg.conf. I have to think it doesn't have to get that involved
[03:47] <k1ll3nt1m3> Thanks drwillis i'll try it.
[03:47] <k1ll3nt1m3> um, anyone know how to close irssi ? lol
[03:48] <neko_> ctrl+z?
[03:48] <steven> ctrl+x?
[03:48] <dr_willis> wow    /quit

[03:55] <dr_willis> they need to put a link to that manual in the users home...
[03:55] <jav77> does x-swat have an irc channel?
[03:55] <Introllerant> HI all.
[03:56] <Krustyklimber> hi
[03:57] <Introllerant> I'm attempting to install 12.10 x386 Desktop on a Via VB8004 based system (it has a 1.6ghz Via Nano CPU).  The install goes well until it hits the "Detecting hardware" phase, where it seems to just stop.
[03:57] <Introllerant> The system isn't locked up (I can still interact with the desktop).  It's just the installer seems to... stop.
[03:57] <Introllerant> Any ideas?
[03:58] <jav77> since I just started from scratch on 12.10, and screw this up every time, how do I get ac3 and dolby digital through the spdif? i remember needing the a52/libr52 codecs or something
[03:58] <Toph2> my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 works fine until suddenly, I lose networking. I can connect to my router and have to reboot to restore my network,, What could be the problem?
[03:59] <Krustyklimber> well thanks again dr willis
[04:00] <Toph2> my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04 works fine until suddenly, I lose networking. I can *NOT* connect to my router and have to reboot to restore my network,, What could be the problem?
[04:00] <crazyzurfer> every time I connect my ipod touch rythmbox, how can I stop it?
[04:02] <crazyzurfer> problem solved
[04:02] <gp5st> does anyone know a utility to modify the fields in an mp3 header?

[04:07] <linx> hello, is there anyone could show me or give reference how to install epson t13x on ubuntu?
[04:10] <winux> is there a simple way to find out what packages are installed besides the base operating system packages?
[04:12] <Krustyklimber> what's the advantage of the lts versions?
[04:13] <InFlames> i think the answer to that lies all in the term "lts"
[04:13] <InFlames> "long term support"
[04:13] <Krustyklimber> and how would I access this long term support?
[04:13] <InFlames> that i have less of an understanding of, someone else might be of better help
[04:14] <somsip> Krustyklimber: it means that bug fixes etc are back-ported to all packages in a LTS release
[04:14] <Krustyklimber> lol yeah I got the long term support part, that's why I paid for this version, instead of getting the free version
[04:15] <somsip> Krustyklimber: they are all free. Have you paid for Canonical support?
[04:15] <Krustyklimber> back ported? I don't know what that means
[04:15] <Krustyklimber> I dunno I paid for this dvd
[04:16] <InFlames> i think that you paid for a dvd...not support
[04:16] <Krustyklimber> oh
[04:16] <Krustyklimber> hense no support eh :P
[04:16] <InFlames> support is the community, i beleive, all volunteers
[04:16] <Krustyklimber> lol
[04:16] <somsip> InFlames: except for paid canonical support
[04:16] <InFlames> i wouldn't say there is no support, hell these guys are more useful than the average tier 1 tech anyhow
[04:17] <InFlames> oh, so there is paid canonical support?
[04:17] <gp5st> i know lame can set the fields, but i was wondering if there was a way to set them differently in each mp3 frame
[04:17] <Krustyklimber> oh yeah I agree InFlames... these guys helped a lot already
[04:17] <blbe> anybody here familiar with javascript?
[04:17] <InFlames> blbe, yes
[04:17] <somsip> blbe: try #javascript - way off topic for here
[04:17] <InFlames> although i doubt this is the best place to ask
[04:17] <InFlames> yea
[04:18] <Krustyklimber> somsip, do you know how much room I need on a flash drive, for 12.10?
[04:18] <somsip> Krustyklimber: no, I don't.
[04:19] <Krustyklimber> ok
[04:19] <Krustyklimber> whoa this tab just beeped and started flashing "activity"
[04:20] <shantorn> Krustyklimber, full ubuntu with unity?
[04:20] <shantorn> or xfce?
[04:20] <dr_willis> full install - about 8 gb for a useable system
[04:20] <dr_willis> 16+gb is better
[04:20] <shantorn> yep
[04:20] <shantorn> i did it ona 4 gig but it was rough
[04:20] <ubuntu-studio> still lost
[04:21] <shantorn> 8gb was perfect
[04:21] <Krustyklimber> crud all I have is a 4g flashdrive
[04:21] <InFlames> Krustyklimber, 64 or 32?
[04:21] <dr_willis> lubuntu can fit on 4gb. but it will be tight
[04:21] <InFlames> i think 4gb should be fine
[04:21] <InFlames> i will test for you right now, just need to know the version you want
[04:22] <Krustyklimber> lol I am starting to think I'm not smart enough to be a ubuntu user :P
[04:22] <InFlames> i have a usb stick and quick connection
[04:22] <dr_willis> a live setup can work on 4gb. a full install.. not so hot
[04:22] <sudo> hello, is there anyone could show me or give reference how to install epson t13x on ubuntu?
[04:22] <Krustyklimber> I was told I need 12.10
[04:22] <dr_willis> !cups
[04:22] <InFlames> Krustyklimber, do you want to install the whole os on the thumbdrive or just the install/live setup?
[04:23] <Krustyklimber> so I can install it
[04:23] <Krustyklimber> I guess
[04:23] <Krustyklimber> lol I shoulda had kids... I need a teenager to do this
[04:24] <phunyguy_t430s> can anyone using Xubuntu help me confirm a bug I filed?  Bug 1089744 - when installing Gwibber, or anything else that would typically fall under "Online Accounts" in Ubuntu doesn't allow you to add any accounts to the application.  (Empathy, Shotwell, Gwibber, etc).
[04:24] <kiwi940> Anybody know which API calls Unity uses to get the global menu?
[04:25] <kiwi940> Anybody?
[04:26] <phunyguy_t430s> !patience | kiwi940
[04:31] <Krustyklimber> bettery (1:39 left) that is not critically low :)
[04:31] <Krustyklimber> *battery
[04:31] <dr_willis> what some laptops report is often different then what is.
[04:32] <dr_willis> and the laptop makersd love to follow their own standards
[04:32] <Krustyklimber> it reports it like every 10 mins, same report
[04:32] <Krustyklimber> and I'm actually plugged in
[04:32] <dr_willis> laptop apci/bios is not following the standard i imagine
[04:33] <Talbot> I use Ubuntu because I wanted to escape from Windows, but I've discovered that I'm not intelligent enough to use Ubuntu. I need a mentor to basically hold my hand, talk to me as if I were 8 years old and guide me through a couple of things I'm trying to accomplish.
[04:33] <Krustyklimber> you too huh Talbot?
[04:33] <dr_willis> Talbot:  start with the manual?
[04:33] <Krustyklimber> lol the manual isn't for 8 yr olds either
[04:34] <Phaba> dr_willis: people on windows dont need one of them things
[04:34] <Krustyklimber> microsoft is eveil... I am NOT going back
[04:34] <Krustyklimber> *evil
[04:34] <Talbot> I really should. I also lack discipline. You've managed to shame me into it though. I'll be back if that doesn't solve my problem. Thanks very much.
[04:35] <Krustyklimber> good luck Talbot

[04:35] <flyinprogramer> how on god's green earth do i get this script to execute successfully AS root on boot, after all other services have started? http://pastebin.com/esxynYum
[04:35] <bazhang> Krustyklimber, save the offtopic chat for the NON support channel
[04:35] <Krustyklimber> sorry bot I have to disagree
[04:36] <Krustyklimber> ok Baz sorry
[04:36] <dr_willis> flyinprogramer:  start it from rc.local is a common way
[04:36] <bazhang> Krustyklimber, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[04:36] <Krustyklimber> no thank you... I'll stay on topic
[04:36] <flyinprogramer> dr_willis: i can't figure out how;  bash /path/to/script  didn't seem to work
[04:37] <dr_willis> if its executable no need to use 'bash /path/to'
[04:37] <dr_willis> just put the full parh in rc.local bedfor the exit statement
[04:37] <dr_willis>  /path/to/whatever.sh &
[04:38] <M0rPh3u5> Hey
[04:38] <Krustyklimber> hi
[04:38] <M0rPh3u5> Hows it going?
[04:39] <dr_willis> why does it need to run as root.. ;)
[04:39] <flyinprogramer> dr_willis:  hmm… it might be getting run, but too early… and thus fails
[04:39] <julie101010> is there a built-in VPN client on this system?
[04:39] <M0rPh3u5> no
[04:39] <julie101010> do you have a simple one to recommend?
[04:39] <M0rPh3u5> Simple, hmmm
[04:39] <dr_willis> flyinprogramer:  your users home is encrypted?  i cant see why it would be too 'early'
[04:39] <julie101010> on windows, it took 15 seconds to set it up
[04:40] <dr_willis> i thought network manager supported vpns
[04:40] <julie101010> I don't see the option
[04:40] <flyinprogramer> dr_willis:  the script requires postgres to be started before it being run...
[04:40] <flyinprogramer> dr_willis:  i could just put a sleep in my script..
[04:40] <Krustyklimber> does paying for 12.10 change the version you end up with?
[04:40] <julie101010> found it
[04:41] <dr_willis> yea.. andchat crashed again..
[04:41] <dr_willis> someone make a better android irc client plz.  ;)
[04:41] <Miazma> Can anyone help? I put Ubuntu 12.10 on a USB and when I try booting the screen just stays black with a grey dot ticking in the top left corner. Anyone know whats up?
[04:42] <dr_willis> !nomodeset > Miazma
[04:43] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, wait, "paying for 12.10"?
[04:43] <phunyguy_t430s> do you mean the donation prompt?
[04:43] <Krustyklimber> yeah I clicked on download, and they want $16
[04:43] <phunyguy_t430s> it's pure donation.
[04:43] <phunyguy_t430s> Ubuntu will always be free.
[04:43] <flyinprogramer> dr_willis:  turns out i should read logs
[04:43] <Krustyklimber> and if I don't donate do I get the same thing?
[04:43] <Miazma> dr_willis, i dont think it even manages to boot that far. On other machines it'll tell me the kernel info before booting into the ubuntu splash.
[04:43] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, of course.
[04:44] <ReAzem> Can anyone tell me why the following command works when I paste it in a shell but does not work in a bash file? "/usr/bin/virsh pool-create somefile.xml"
[04:44] <phunyguy_t430s> Canonical is just trying to keep the lights from going out.
[04:44] <Krustyklimber> I mean I just paid for 12.04 less that a month ago
[04:44] <flyinprogramer> most certainly i should read logs
[04:44] <flyinprogramer> thanks for bein' helpful
[04:44] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, you should probably read the whole page before you send money.
[04:44] <Krustyklimber> I get that, that's why I was happy to pay for a dvd with 12.04 ;)
[04:45] <Krustyklimber> phuny, the whole page isn't much to read...
[04:45] <DaemonicApathy> Paying for a DVD is normal. The online download is free.
[04:46] <phunyguy_t430s> except for the portion that explains it is a donation.
[04:46] <phunyguy_t430s> DaemonicApathy, the last time I downloaded, it came up with a donation page with donation options.
[04:46] <Krustyklimber> payment, donation... both come out of my wallet :P
[04:46] <DaemonicApathy> Right, phuny, but unless I misunderstand, Krusty bought a disc with a case and nice cover art.
[04:47] <Krustyklimber> I got a disk in a nice colorful paper case
[04:47] <phunyguy_t430s> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=latest DaemonicApathy - that page comes up with $16 by default.
[04:47] <Krustyklimber> and I was happy to have it... but I have already been advised that version is not working and I need 12.10
[04:48] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, what wasn't working?
[04:48] <Krustyklimber> I haven't been running this version for two weeks yet
[04:48] <Krustyklimber> cam won't work on my favorite chat site, battery constantly warns it's dead, and shuts off my puter with hours left (and while it's plugged in)
[04:48] <phunyguy_t430s> 12.04 is Long Term Support, so if it's not working, we can probably get it fixed.
[04:49] <Krustyklimber> I have the LTS version
[04:49] <phunyguy_t430s> did you download 12.04.1 ?
[04:49] <Krustyklimber> 12.04 lts
[04:49] <phunyguy_t430s> there is a .1 release now.
[04:49] <Krustyklimber> no I bought the dvd
[04:50] <Krustyklimber> I ran it off the dvd until I got a new solid state hd... then I installed it
[04:50] <phunyguy_t430s> interesting.... what model laptop?
[04:51] <Krustyklimber> it's a sony viao
[04:51] <jav77> hello, i have many, many questions. But first, I got mplayer2 from apt-get and am wondering where the executable is installed so I can point smplayer to it.
[04:51] <psusi> when I installed my ssd, I just used lvm to pick up my system and migrate it over to the new drive on the fly
[04:51] <phunyguy_t430s> if you want you can download and use $12.10, free of charge.  The payment it is asking for is purely voluntary donatoin, with no features removed or added.
[04:51] <phunyguy_t430s> minus the dollar sign >< I need sleep.
[04:51] <Krustyklimber> ok thanks phunyguy
[04:52] <Krustyklimber> do you think that will fit on a 4g flash  that has a little bit of stuff on it?
[04:52] <phunyguy_t430s> yea it will only take up about a quarter of that
[04:52] <Krustyklimber> ok thanks
[04:52] <phunyguy_t430s> you can do an upgrade also
[04:52] <phunyguy_t430s> !upgrade
[04:53] <Krustyklimber>  !upgrade?
[04:53] <Krustyklimber> lol a bot is still prolly smarter than me
[04:53] <phunyguy_t430s> click the link
[04:54] <Krustyklimber> which one? :P
[04:54] <phunyguy_t430s> !upgrade
[04:54] <Krustyklimber> first or second?
[04:54] <phunyguy_t430s> both.
[04:54] <dr_willis> yes...
[04:54] <dr_willis> ;)
[04:54] <phunyguy_t430s> hah! thats my joke!
[04:55] <Krustyklimber> like the last guy, I am starting to think I'm not smart enough to be a ubuntu user
[04:55] <phunyguy_t430s> oh rubbush.
[04:55] <phunyguy_t430s> if I can do it, so can you
[04:55] <Krustyklimber> lol thanks for the encouragement
[04:55] <Krustyklimber> ok reading links brb
[04:57] <Krustyklimber> wow these links (well the second one) might as well be greek
[04:58] <DaemonicApathy> Take it a little at a time, and you'll be surrised how much you learn, krustyklimber.
[04:58] <DaemonicApathy> Also, surprised.
[04:58] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, the second link is 3 steps.
[04:58] <Krustyklimber> really....
[04:58] <Krustyklimber> lol
[04:59] <Krustyklimber> you guys can just call me Krusty
[04:59] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, IRC will highlight for you when your nick is mentioned. So it is habit for me to type "Kru<TAB>"
[05:00] <jav77> how can i resize my display?
[05:00] <onborad> I have problem, no find card reader device in OS , kernel version is :3.3 .4.5-1 RTS5137 VID:0BDA PID:0129? any ideas?
[05:00] <Krustyklimber> ok first thing it says is to back up my version... if I knew how to back up I'd be good
[05:00] <jav77> i got the ac3 and dolby digital to work, so this is one more step then I am complete
[05:01] <DaemonicApathy> onborad: external card reader, or built into the computer?
[05:01] <DaemonicApathy> jav77: System Settings > Displays
[05:01] <abyss4> do init scripts work in red hat?

[05:01] <phunyguy_t430s> !backups | Krustyklimber
[05:01] <jav77> how do i change it from there?
[05:02] <DaemonicApathy> jav77: click on the resolution, pick a more desirable one.
[05:02] <jav77> that only allows me to change resolutions. that isn't what I am looking for. I am looking to retain resolution, but change the size of the display.
[05:03] <jav77> the diaplay says the tv is a 72", its not.
[05:03] <jav77> its 56
[05:03] <dr_willis> you still fighting with your overscan? by several inches?
[05:03] <jav77> so all of the sides are chopped off. the actual viewing pixel size is 18801042
[05:03] <dr_willis> xrandr has options to force some things
[05:04] <jav77> according to windows on the other side
[05:04] <dr_willis> so you lose about half an inch per side?
[05:04] <jav77> and yes, still fighting :)

[05:05] <jav77> xrandr isn't allowing me to choose my own resolution. it has to be defined in the table
[05:05] <dr_willis> xrandr can force res's not in the table
[05:05] <jav77> and I really don't want to go down the path of xorg.conf and defining modelines.
[05:05] <jav77> how?
[05:06] <dr_willis> the xrandr fix res wiki page had examples i recall
[05:06] <dr_willis> !fixres
[05:06] <dr_willis> !xrandr
[05:07] <dr_willis> hmm.. not those.. ;)  search the ubuntu wiki for xrandr adding resolutions
[05:08] <dr_willis> if it is truely using tghe wrong res
[05:09] <datruth> how can I turn off bluetooth
[05:09] <Krustyklimber> wow I made it through the first link then the duplicity link made my head spin... nope I am not smart enough to back up my version
[05:09] <dr_willis> back up your 'bersion' makes no sence
[05:09] <dr_willis> version
[05:10] <jav77> its odd. the samsung reports its a 72" display. its a 56 hd lcd tv. so I will mess with some settings and come back
[05:10] <Krustyklimber> excuse me, the term is back up my installation
[05:10] <dr_willis> i dont  see how the size matters its the res thats imporntant.
[05:10] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  you want to keep your old system?
[05:11] <Krustyklimber> it told me to back it up... I don't know what I want
[05:11] <dr_willis> what are you trying to do exactly...
[05:11] <Krustyklimber> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
[05:11] <Krustyklimber> I dunno anymore
[05:12] <Krustyklimber> I just want to be able to video chat with my gf
[05:12] <dr_willis> if you want to do a clean install of 12.10  then make a 12.10 dvd and install it. no needc to bacjup or upgrade a older install you dont want to keep
[05:13] <Krustyklimber> ok Dr, but someone else suggested upgrading to 12.04.1... now I'm lost
[05:14] <phunyguy_t430s> you misunderstood.  I was providing paths to get to 12.10, Krustyklimber .  My apologies.
[05:14] <phunyguy_t430s> You can install fresh, or !upgrade
[05:14] <dr_willis> what do you WANT is the question.. 12.04 or 12.10 ..
[05:14] <Krustyklimber> no apologies necessary... I'm the one not smart enough to follow along
[05:14] <dr_willis> you may allready have 12.04.1
[05:15] <Krustyklimber> oh
[05:15] <phunyguy_t430s> dr_willis, when was that released?
[05:15] <phunyguy_t430s> he's been on it a couple weeks.
[05:15] <Krustyklimber> ther rifle range seems like a better fix, all the time
[05:15] <Krustyklimber> lol
[05:16] <dr_willis> .1 has  been out for some time
[05:16] <dr_willis> any apt-get update/upgrade would have upgraded to it
[05:16] <Krustyklimber> I did the update mgr earlier today... said it was up to date
[05:16] <phunyguy_t430s> oh i see
[05:17] <ccc> After I install a program in Wine, where do i go to run the program at?
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> Krusty are you worried about anything on your system?
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> anything you wantto keep?
[05:17] <dr_willis> ccc:  it should add an icon in the menus/dash under wine
[05:17] <Krustyklimber> worried... no... there's noothing on here but Ubuntu and I have the dvd I donated to get ;)
[05:17] <dr_willis> ccc:  or look in your .wine directory
[05:17] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, then skip the backup.
[05:17] <ccc> how do i open the dash
[05:18] <Krustyklimber> ok so put 12.10 on my flash and don't look back? :P
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, or follow the second upgrade link.
[05:18] <dr_willis> thats the top left button ccc
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> it's your coice.
[05:18] <phunyguy_t430s> choice*
[05:18] <dr_willis> !manual | ccc
[05:19] <dr_willis> clean install will be faster then an upgrade
[05:19] <phunyguy_t430s> *shrug*
[05:19] <Krustyklimber> this one? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:19] <phunyguy_t430s> Krusty, no the other one
[05:19] <dr_willis> if you have nothing worth keeping.. then clean install will be faster
[05:20] <phunyguy_t430s> good luck.
[05:22] <jav77> xrandr: cannot find mode 1880x1042
[05:22] <Krustyklimber> ok... update mgr says "software on this computer is up to date... the package information was updated three days ago" "there are no updates to install"
[05:22] <jav77> xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 1880x1042 --rate 24
[05:23] <jav77> no luck
[05:24] <dr_willis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions
[05:25] <Krustyklimber> oh wait now there's 14 more updates
[05:25] <phunyguy_t430s> Krustyklimber, just install fresh, probably easier.
[05:25] <Krustyklimber> aww man I was following the link :P
[05:26] <Krustyklimber> starting to reconsider whether I'm smart enough yet phunyguy? :)
[05:26] <dr_willis> jav77:  if its working properly in windows. the last line of that guide has some info on making a custom modeline.

[05:28] <circle> how do I open a new gedit window
[05:28] <circle> not a tab
[05:28] <circle> but a WINDOW
[05:28] <BlackDalek> What exactly does "backup" (deja dup?) in ubuntu's settings actuall backup? Does it remember things like login details and passwords for gFTP for example?
[05:29] <dr_willis> try dragging a tab to the desktop in  gedit?
[05:29] <jav77> xrandr --addmode S-video 1880x1042
[05:29] <jav77> xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"
[05:29] <dr_willis> jav77:  you have an old svideo output?
[05:29] <circle> dr_willis: works thanksd
[05:29] <jav77> should be HDMI?
[05:29] <BlackDalek> I want to copy my system to a larger hard disk. Will "backup" let me do this?
[05:30] <dr_willis> circle middle click on  gedits icon in the launcher  may do it also
[05:30] <phunyguy_t430s> !clone BlackDalek
[05:30] <phunyguy_t430s> !clone | BlackDalek
[05:30] <phunyguy_t430s> hrm...
[05:30] <phunyguy_t430s> and he left anyways
[05:30] <dr_willis> jav77:  theres special names xrandr uses.  that xrandr guide mentios them at the top i thunk
[05:30] <phunyguy_t430s> but that wasnt the command I was looking for.
[05:31] <BlackDalek> sorry.. accidentally quit
[05:32] <BlackDalek> I want to copy my system to a larger hard disk.. will "backup" do this?
[05:32] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  clonezilla may be a better tool
[05:32] <grumpyrj> BlackDalek: personally I would use partimage
[05:33] <DaemonicApathy> !clone > blackdalek
[05:34] <sidney_> is there a deb for handbrake
[05:34] <alazare619> i accidentlaly rm -r /usr/lib64

[05:35] <DaemonicApathy> sidney_: http://deb-multimedia.org/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/package/handbrake-gtk
[05:35] <BlackDalek> if I use clonezilla or partimage, am I going to end up with grub bootloader problems since I am copying to a new disk?
[05:35] <Krustyklimber> I followed this link, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade , but never got an option to upgrade?
[05:35] <sidney_> Thanks D
[05:35] <elena-IK> is there a way to make multimedia keys work while the screen is locked? currently they only bring up the password dialog.
[05:36] <Krustyklimber> it stopped after step 2 :(

[05:40] <BlackDalek> Does anyone know.. does ubottu's suggested method of cloning packages also duplicate info such as login details for gftp?
[05:40] <IdleOne> BlackDalek: no, all it does is create a list of installed packages
[05:40] <tsimpson> BlackDalek: no, that kind of thing will be stored in your $HOME
[05:42] <HorizonXP> how would I determine what processes are using my network via the command line?
[05:42] <Krustyklimber> ok I downloaded the manual... now how do I put it where I can find it?
[05:43] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  cloaning packages just clones/reinstalls the same packages..
[05:44] <dr_willis> not customizations or user files
[05:44] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  put it in your Downloads directory?
[05:44] <Krustyklimber> my what?
[05:45] <Krustyklimber> it's in downloads
[05:45] <dr_willis> so you know where to find it........
[05:45] <Krustyklimber> I don't know how to refind downloads after I close it
[05:46] <dr_willis> open file manager and look?
[05:46] <dr_willis> download directory will be righ there...
[05:46] <Krustyklimber> file manager?
[05:46] <BlackDalek> ok.. if I make use the "backup" thing under the settings in ubuntu 12.04 and create a new backup. Then make a fresh install on the new system with 12.10. Will I then be able to restore on the new system from the old system backup?
[05:46] <Krustyklimber> I dunno where that is either
[05:46] <dr_willis> time to resd the manual i think....
[05:46] <dr_willis> read
[05:47] <dr_willis> and look at the icons on the left
[05:47] <Krustyklimber> lol yeah... but I dunno where it IS! LOL
[05:47] <Krustyklimber> no icon for file mgr
[05:47] <dr_willis> spend 5 min actually looking at the icons ol the left side panel...
[05:47] <dr_willis> should be the second one.
[05:48] <dr_willis> or type in 'nautilus' in the dash
[05:48] <discosrule> Hi all, wonder if someone can help me with an ssh question.  "ssh username@remoteserverip -p22 -R(remoteserverport):localhost:80" when I use that command is it possible for me to access the web server on port 1234 on thr remote network as well?
[05:48] <jav77> xrandr --fb 1880x1042
[05:48] <jav77> xrandr: specified screen 1880x1042 not large enough for output HDMI-0 (1920x1080+0+0)
[05:48] <jav77> xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
[05:49] <discosrule> I can access it fine from the remote server but would love to access it from thr remote servers network as well.
[05:49] <jav77> so it appears i need to resize the display. Why is this nvidia driver so different from the windows version or the radeon? 3 hours to change the size already.
[05:50] <dr_willis> because nvidia dosent care a lot for linux at times
[05:50] <Krustyklimber> I have - dash, home folder, chrome, firefox, libreofficewriter, libreoffice calc, libreofficeimpress, softwarecenter, one, settings, cheese (new), workspace and trash...
[05:50] <BlackDalek> ok.. if I make use the "backup" thing under the settings in ubuntu 12.04 and create a new backup. Then make a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 on a new system, will I then be able to restore from the old system backup onto the new system?
[05:51] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  and home foldee launches your filemanager...... makes sence dosent it?
[05:51] <Krustyklimber> oh ok... and no that's not intuitive
[05:51] <dr_willis> and you click on it and... wow a 'Downloads' folder
[05:51] <dr_willis> its very intuitive...
[05:52] <Krustyklimber> yeah I see that now
[05:52] <Krustyklimber> to you maybe LOL
[05:52] <dr_willis> even my 6 yr old can figure it out
[05:52] <dr_willis> works the same way in windows....
[05:52] <Krustyklimber> of course, 6 yr olds are way more tech savvy than 50yr olds!
[05:52] <dr_willis> click on my computer or whatever... launches the file manager...
[05:52] <dr_willis> my wife is 51 and has no problems
[05:53] <datruth> wow so if bluetooth is disabled in windows its disabled in ubuntu and the only way to enable it is to enable it back in windows?
[05:53] <Krustyklimber> computer and home folder do not seem, to me, to be the same thing
[05:53] <dr_willis> they launch the file manager... exact same thing
[05:53] <Krustyklimber> I been wondering for days "where's "my computer""
[05:54] <dr_willis> makes me wonder what you have been doing for days thay you never clicked on that icon....
[05:54] <Krustyklimber> surfin the net bro :)
[05:54] <dr_willis> its in the #2 spot for a reason
[05:54] <Krustyklimber> Xmas is comin I got e-bayin to do!
[05:55] <Krustyklimber> and I did warn you guys that I'm stupid :P
[05:55] <dr_willis> at least the downloads directory is not hidden like it is on windows
[05:55] <haqe17> Hi, im having a little trouble trying to write my first qt application. I have installed libqt4-dev but get this error when compiling: "test1.cpp:1:24: fatal error: QApplication: No such file or directory"
[05:55] <BlackDalek> does no one here know what ubuntu's default "backup" utility does or how it works?
[05:56] <dr_willis> never used it BlackDalek  ;)
[05:56] <Krustyklimber> true that... when I opened it I was like "wow nice organization" ...I really do like Ubuntu way more already
[05:56] <Krustyklimber>  *guesses it backs it up :P
[05:56] <dr_willis> the dash button should also show you recently used files...
[05:57] <Krustyklimber> yeah I use the dash a lot
[05:57] <dr_willis> time to read the manual now i guess. ;)
[05:57] <Krustyklimber> that's how I get to stuff I used before
[05:57] <Krustyklimber> yes sir :)
[05:57] <Krustyklimber> yeah and it's way late here on the east coast
[05:59] <Krustyklimber> thanks again for your help and patience
[05:59] <Krustyklimber> g'night y'all ...be good people, people
[06:01] <discosrule> Anyone good with ssh ? Have a question.
[06:01] <heoyea_> nop
[06:02] <somsip> !ask | discosrule
[06:02] <BlackDalek> ok then dr_willis - what would you use? This is what I want to do. I have a dead laptop (massive onboard video chip failure).. I currently have the hard disk from that (with all my cruicial data) inside an old desktop PC where it is working happliy. I have a NEW laptop. I can't just put my old laptop's HDD into the new one because it is IDE and new latop is SATA only. The new laptop has Ubuntu 12.10 successfully instal
[06:02] <BlackDalek> led on it, but none of my files etc... how am I going to get my data and programs onto the new laptop?
[06:03] <grumpyrj> BlackDalek: partimage
[06:03] <DaemonicApathy> I would clone the packages info, and copy the Home folder, personally, BlackDalek.
[06:03] <jav77> is there an irc for nvidia related issues like i am having?
[06:03] <Ben64> jav77: if its on Ubuntu, you can ask in here
[06:04] <dr_willis> if the 2 pcs are networked. copy over imporntant stuff...
[06:04] <dr_willis> not sure where the problem is. ;)
[06:04] <BlackDalek> what is the best way to copy the ENTIRE home folder - hidden files and all?
[06:04] <Ben64> BlackDalek: I'd use rsync
[06:04] <dr_willis> ssh/scp/rsync
[06:05] <datruth> Anyone know why this is?
[06:05] <BlackDalek> what id rsync?
[06:05] <jav77> Ben64 - I am trying to simply resize the output of an nvidia geforce gt 640 like i can in windows. but I cannot. so i cannot see the top menu, side dock or other bottom
[06:05] <somsip> datruth: anatta
[06:05] <Ben64> jav77: have you tried nvidia-settings
[06:06] <jav77> i have an hdmi connection to an lcd hd tv,
[06:06] <dr_willis> how much data is in the home total?
[06:06] <jav77> yes. that does nothing for me
[06:07] <BlackDalek> dr_willis I am not sure.. but the drive is 120Gb
[06:07] <datruth> or is that the way it works if disabled in windows it's also disabled in ubuntu?
[06:07] <Ben64> jav77: can you use something besides hdmi? like vga or dvi?
[06:07] <BlackDalek> dr_willis the new drive will be 700Gb
[06:07] <jav77> now, no
[06:07] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  use the du/df commands to find out
[06:07] <dr_willis> just 700gb... how quaint... ;)
[06:08] <Ben64> jav77: does it not work at 1920x1080?
[06:09] <dr_willis> use scp to copy everything to the other pc to like /home/myuser/my-other-machineshome   ;)  then start  putting it where it needs to go
[06:11] <haqe17> can anyone help me with this error? http://pastebin.com/spJ9MWb6
[06:12] <jav77> it works but the display is cut off all over
[06:12] <BlackDalek> dr_willis if I have the same username on both old and new computer, can't I just use scp to copy everything direct to the correct folder, without having to move them after?
[06:12] <Ben64> jav77: have you seen this? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/nvidea-gt-430-hdmi-to-lcd-tv-outer-edges-always-cut-off-outside-display-area-883420/
[06:15] <Ben64> jav77: oh wait they removed that option...
[06:15] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  what if somting is currupted...
[06:15] <Ben64> "ViewPortOut": this specifies the region within the mode sent to the display device that will display pixels from the X screen. The region of the mode outside the ViewPortOut will contain black. The format is "WIDTH x HEIGHT +X +Y".
[06:15] <Ben64> This is useful, for example, for configuring overscan compensation. E.g., if the mode sent to the display device is 1920x1080, to configure a 10 pixel border on all four sides:    "DFP-0: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1900x1060+10+10 }"
[06:15] <BlackDalek> dr_willis like what?
[06:16] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  you tell me...  the other pc died.. are you sure the configs are good..?
[06:17] <dr_willis> copy it whever you want.. you could pratically have it done in the time we have been discussing this.  ;)
[06:17] <Ascavasaion> When I try to open Magnet links in chromium I get a message similar to this "Chromium needs to launch an external application to handle magnet:links......"  with the button option to launch the application.  If I launch that another window pops up and says "No program specified for magnet".  Any help please?
[06:18] <BlackDalek> dr_willis - well as far as I can tell, it is running good in a totally different machine to what it came from... apart from a bit of trouble getting the different video hardware to configure, it looks fine.
[06:19] <DaemonicApathy> Ascavasaion, you should be able to set the torrent client of your choice to be the default for magnet links. Transmission is installed by default.
[06:19] <somsip> Ascavasaion: loads of results for this, such as http://www.ryukent.com/2010/10/changing-chrome-magnet-link-association-in-ubuntu/
[06:19] <Ben64> jav77: you need to have an xorg.conf, and add something like this to the screen section.... Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1880x1040+20+20 }"
[06:19] <Ascavasaion> DaemonicApathy: I have Transmission installed.
[06:19] <elena-IK> is there a way to make multimedia keys work while the screen is locked? currently they only bring up the password dialog.
[06:20] <BlackDalek> dr_willis: copying with scp won't touch my original drive will it? So if it does not work when I copy it to the new laptop, I still have my data etc...
[06:21] <Ben64> BlackDalek: you will need to reinstall any programs you had
[06:22] <Ben64> I don't see how data wouldn't work
[06:22] <superdave321> I've flubbed up with compiz and I need to re enable xfwm4. What is the command to do that?
[06:23] <BlackDalek> Ben64: I intend to install the same set of applications first, then copy the home folder...
[06:25] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  it copies from the one location to the other. same as 'cp' would
[06:26] <dr_willis> superdave321:  perhaps 'xfwm4 --replace'
[06:27] <superdave321> dr_willis: is there a way to do that through a tty console? That's all I can access right now cause I can't see anything else.
[06:28] <dr_willis> superdave321:  if your x session is totally messed up. remove/rename the old config files. and restart/relogin to x. it will use the system defaults
[06:29] <superdave321> dr_willis: where do I need to look for those?
[06:29] <dr_willis>    in  .config
[06:29] <dr_willis> mv .config  myold.config    is a little extreme.. but should reset most everything
[06:30] <dr_willis> then restart your login manager and login to the gui
[06:32] <superdave321> Cool. Trying...
[06:36] <deper29> if my laptop is using awesome wm, and I have another computer that uses kde, is there a way to display the kde desktop on the laptop and control from there?
[06:36] <dr_willis> deper29:  vnc or synergy
[06:37] <DaemonicApathy> Teamviewer
[06:37] <dr_willis> can you see the 2nd pcs monitor? if so use synergy to controll it
[06:37] <dr_willis> vnc can show the remote pcs desktop in a window
[06:38] <dr_willis> teamviewer works in a sim iler way
[06:38] <DaemonicApathy> Last I checked, Teamviewer still has the least latency.
[06:38] <deper29> dr_willis: I can see the 2nd pc's monitor if I go in the other room...which i'm too lazy to do
[06:38] <dr_willis> lazy ;)
[06:39] <deper29> so vnc is probably my best bet then?
[06:39] <dr_willis> depends on what you want to do on the remote
[06:39] <deper29> what do you mean by that?
[06:41] <dr_willis> what do you want to do on the remote box? play a video? web surf?   download por.... err.. lolcat videos...
[06:43] <deper29> dr_willis: no video needed, will mainly be playing with configuring kde. most of the stuff I can do I can over ssh, but want GUI to see how stuff looks and whatnot
[06:43] <dr_willis> you can use ssh's  x forwarding if you wanted to.
[06:44] <deper29> I've never set that up before...is it difficult?
[06:44] <dr_willis> kde might have a built in vncserver also for remote desktops
[06:44] <dr_willis> ssh -x remote    run the app.. it appears locally
[06:45] <rinzler> -X switch needs to be capitalized, if I'm not mistaken...
[06:45] <dr_willis> -X and -x have opposite meanings
[06:45] <jav77> so still unable to resize this display.....
[06:45] <dr_willis> i got x forwarding enabled by default i dont need either
[06:45] <Ben64>    -X      Enables X11 forwarding.
[06:45] <Ben64>      -x      Disables X11 forwarding.
[06:46] <Ben64> jav77: did you see the messages i sent you
[06:46] <dr_willis> not the best design for flags ;)
[06:46] <jav77> no sorry
[06:46] <Ben64> jav77: <Ben64> jav77: you need to have an xorg.conf, and add something like this to the screen section.... Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1880x1040+20+20 }"
[06:47] <jav77> what is the +20+20 part
[06:47] <Ben64> thats the border it'll make
[06:47] <deper29> dr_willis: I get an error message if I try ssh -X remote_server
[06:48] <rinzler> deper29: what error?
[06:48] <rinzler> verbatim, preferably
[06:49] <dr_willis> deper29:  use lower case x, or no option at all
[06:49] <deper29> rinzler: http://bpaste.net/show/64122/
[06:49] <ryan_turner> Goodnight!
[06:49] <dr_willis> deper29:  you do have ssh installed on the server?
[06:49] <deper29> dr_willis: yeah, I can ssh in normally just fine
[06:50] <deper29> and made sure to enable X11forwarding in my sshd_config and restarted sshd
[06:50] <scarrs> once again, thank you for your help. I am having a problem. a fresh install and the command "locate" [file] always returns nothing, help?
[06:52] <dr_willis> scarrs:  done a 'sudo updatedb' recently?
[06:52] <jav77>     Option         "metamodes" "1920x1080_24 +0+0;  DFP-1: 1920x1080 {ViewPortOut=1880x1040+20+20}; nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
[06:52] <scarrs> dr_willis: (facepalms)
[06:52] <dr_willis> locate uses a database thats updated daily i think.
[06:52] <scarrs> thayou
[06:52] <dr_willis> scarrs:  ;P
[06:52] <scarrs> thank-you
[06:53] <scarrs> :P
[06:53] <jav77> does this look accurate? I am about to reboot and don't want to get hosed
[06:53] <_ubu_> Hello all, I ope you can help. I am having difficulty installing ubuntu 12.04.1. The installation freezes at language selection no matter what I try
[06:53] <deper29> rinzler: any ideas?
[06:54]  * rinzler catches up
[06:54] <Ben64> jav77: was that other stuff already there?
[06:54] <jav77> yes
[06:54] <Ben64> jav77: you sure its DFP-1?
[06:55] <jav77> thats hat nvdia says. is there a way I can send you a screen shot
[06:56] <rinzler> deper29: usually "ssh user@server -X" will allow me to do x11 forwarding easily. do the errors keep you from launching a program?
[06:56] <Ben64> jav77: you could, but it doesn't matter. if thats what it says you could reboot and see if it worked
[06:56] <jav77> reboot or log off
[06:57] <Ben64> reboot
[06:57] <jav77> ok. c u soon
[06:57] <dr_willis> quick lets all change nicks.. ;)
[06:58] <hangdeadman> How do I get unity launcher to auto-dodge windows in ubuntu 12.04?
[06:59] <dr_willis> i was thinking some of the unity hideing options were removed..    the webupd8 and omgubuntu blog sites i recall had some articals on it ages ago
[06:59] <dr_willis> what does auto-dodge do?
[07:00] <jav77> no change. i am ready to rip this card out
[07:01] <hangdeadman> dr_willis: auto-dodge is when the unity launcher auto hides when a window is over it but is present when no window is in its way.
[07:01] <Ben64> jav77: well it'd only be 20 pixels
[07:01] <jav77> ?
[07:01] <deper29> rinzler: uh, let me check haha
[07:01] <dr_willis> hangdeadman:  i think that was removed.. but im not sure
[07:03] <hangdeadman> dr_willis: i believe it was but i am looking for a way to restore the feature. it worked for months after upgrade rom 11.10 but suddenly went away.
[07:03] <Ben64> jav77: pastebin the output of "xrandr"
[07:03] <deper29> rinzler: can't launch a program. If I get this set up properly, when I ssh -X server will I see my desktop environment? or just cli?
[07:04] <dr_willis> hangdeadman:  theres some unofficial unity ppas out with patches and features added
[07:04] <jav77> please walk me through getting pastebin
[07:04] <dr_willis> Derpian:  a terminal
[07:04] <z3bra> matin
[07:04] <dr_willis> oope  deper29  a terminal/cli
[07:04] <deper29> dr_willis: so if I wanted it to display my DE, I'd have to do vnc then?
[07:05] <dr_willis> deper29:   yes. and kde MIGHT have a vnc server included
[07:05] <dr_willis>  #kubuntu may know
[07:06] <dr_willis> or you could use xdmcp and have the other pcs desktop on alt-ctrl-f8's tty ;)
[07:06] <deper29> dr_willis: okay, i'll give that a shot then. what would I use to connect to it then?
[07:06] <dr_willis> old skool
[07:06] <Ben64> jav77: nvm try this in terminal - `nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-1: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1820x980+50+50}"`
[07:06] <dr_willis> any vnc client should work for any vncserver
[07:06] <deper29> kk
[07:06] <deper29> thanks :)
[07:08] <jav77> wow that looks bad
[07:09] <Ben64> jav77: you just have to adjust that to fit the screen
[07:10] <jav77> what are the +50+50? refresh rates?
[07:11] <Ben64> jav77: border size in pixels
[07:11] <Ben64> it does that amount on both sides, so if you change the border by 1 pixel, you have to change the resolution by 2
[07:13] <el_wero> From Mexico?
[07:13] <jav77> how do i make the refresh rate 24 with that command?
[07:13] <Ben64> jav77: that doesn't change refresh
[07:14] <ouyes> hey guys, when I am trying to use make to build a application, I get an error make[1]: /bin/nvcc: Command not found, but I have nvcc, why the make tool can't find it?
[07:14] <_ubu_> Can anyone assist me in installing 12.04? It just freezes at the language selection despite my having followed instructions on the boards
[07:14] <jav77> according to the tv it changed from 24hz to 60
[07:14] <Ben64> oh.... is 60 bad?
[07:15] <jav77> terrible
[07:15] <Ben64> it should be 2.5 times better
[07:15] <deper29> is it possible to change the resolution of the grub menu?
[07:16] <guest-YRs8mg> PLEASE HELP ME!
[07:17] <guest-YRs8mg> I can not log in my user
[07:17] <jav77> t 60 hz, the tv provides the options for wide tv, wide pc, or 4:3. at 24hz, it provides 16:9, just scan, etc. its a more pure hd signal
[07:17] <_ubu_> Is your password correct? lol
[07:17] <scarrs> thank you for your help... I have sucessfully installed quake and quake3 :) - now I want to get the servers running - I have edited both server.cfg files but I cannot browse the games locally help?
[07:17] <guest-YRs8mg> I can not even see the logon screen it immediately starts a guest user
[07:18] <guest-YRs8mg> and I can not change the homepage of my browser (chromium) because the option is blocked
[07:19] <guest-YRs8mg> is urgent someone help me reset the X and should see the logon screen, but it only shows for a millisecond and initiates a guest user
[07:19] <deper29> guest-YRs8mg: what happens if you sudo service xdm restart?
[07:20] <deper29> er, lightdm restart
[07:20] <guest-YRs8mg> is a command?
[07:20] <deper29> yes
[07:21] <guest-YRs8mg> Guest users can not sudo :S
[07:21] <deper29> guest-YRs8mg: ctrl + alt + f1
[07:21] <ubuntu434> My laptop has nvidia optimus and after installing nvidia drivers the onboard display reports a max resolution of 640x480 while it really is a 1080p display - how can i fix this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429178/
[07:23] <guest-YRs8mg> xdm: unrecognized service
[07:23] <_ubu_> Please help me guys, I am tearing my hair out trying to install ubuntu
[07:24] <deper29> guest-YRs8mg: 12.04?
[07:24] <guest-YRs8mg> yeah
[07:24] <deper29> sudo service lightdm restart
[07:24] <jav77> ok. so using this "nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="DFP-1: 1920x1080 { ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0}" I am able to see everything but now the picture doesn't use the full tv (argh).
[07:24] <Ben64> _ubu_: have you tried the alternate or mini installer
[07:25] <Ben64> jav77: because you got rid of the overscan stuff
[07:25] <Jynx> h
[07:25] <guest-lqvXri> is the same
[07:25] <jav77> the tv is using the wide pc setting, so there is something with the refresh rate.
[07:25] <Jynx> my penis goes in
[07:25] <guest-lqvXri> i cannot log in with my user
[07:25] <deper29> guest-lqvXri: you have sudo power though?
[07:26] <dumfak> hello everyone... does anybody know how to upgrade from maverick 10.10 ? seems that the natty repos have been removed... i haven't updated my OS since 10.10
[07:26] <deper29> when you restart lightdm, does it give you a chance to login?
[07:26] <guest-lqvXri> no
[07:26] <Ben64> guest-lqvXri: pastebin the contents of /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[07:27] <_ubu_> @Ben64 I haven't, no. I am worried that it is a hardware issue so even if I get it installed is it going to be stable/work at all. I think it has to do with my keyboard
[07:27] <Ben64> !eol | dumfak
[07:27] <Ben64> _ubu_: do you have a weird keyboard?

[07:27] <guest-lqvXri> http://pastebin.com/wq4stejQ
[07:28] <deper29> dumfak: I think sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:28] <_ubu_> @Ben64 Proline by logitech. I have tried ubuntu and a few versions of mint. they all present the same problem
[07:29] <_ubu_> I have installed a new graphics card, because I initially thought that might be the problem. no joy
[07:29] <roboto> I was looking for a way to install seamonkey and looked on-line for repositories to enable and enabled something that was valid is 2010 (duh) echo -e "ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" |  sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
[07:29] <roboto> How to undo that command?
[07:29] <guest-lqvXri> the pastebin of the conf lightdm is here: http://pastebin.com/wq4stejQ
[07:30] <bobo37773> Hey guys
[07:31] <guest-lqvXri> Please help me!
[07:31] <guest-lqvXri> i need to sleep
[07:31] <dumfak> !eol
[07:31] <dumfak> ok thanks
[07:31] <roboto> Is there a command to return the repository to the initial state or must I reinstall?
[07:32] <dr_willis> roboto:  remove that line from your sources.list
[07:32] <bobo37773> roboto: It's not a command it's a configuration file I am pretty sure.
[07:32] <dr_willis> and your example command had a typo
[07:32] <dr_willis> sources.list is a simple text file
[07:33] <dr_willis> all that command did was add  a line to the end of it
[07:36] <roboto> dr_willis: do you know how I can get seamonkey?
[07:36] <Sail> how to make a diskimage of installed os and restore from it later?
[07:37] <teacher_room> help with a stuck apt-get that keeps trying to dpkg --remove 4 kernels  http://pastebin.com/d8gkuPx3
[07:38] <roboto> Anyone here know how to get seamonkey?
[07:38] <aeon-ltd> !clonezilla | sail
[07:38] <deper29> Sail: look at clonezilla
[07:39] <hiemanshu> Hey guys, I have a tablet (x86 version) with a touchscreen, and while in unity and gnome, etc, it doesn't show the mouse cursor. It shows a cursor when i connect an external mouse, but I want it to show a cursor at all times
[07:39] <hiemanshu> how can I do it?
[07:40] <dr_willis> roboto: search for a ppa for it.. i dont really see why you need it.
[07:40] <dr_willis> !ppa
[07:40] <roboto> dr_willis: What is a ppa?
[07:40] <dr_willis> read what ubottu  said
[07:40] <roboto> dr_willis: I have hundreds of e-mail saved on my seamonkey back up
[07:41] <Sail> deper29: thanx
[07:41] <teacher_room> would deleting some ppas help clear my dpkg jam, this machine was updated 12.04 -12.10 and not updated again until yesterday
[07:41] <almoxarife> teacher_room: Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-18-generic <-- are you presently booting up on this kernel?
[07:41] <dr_willis> if theres a seamonkey ppa it should be easy to install
[07:41] <Sail> roboto: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ get it frm here
[07:42] <Sail> roboto: Unpack it with a right-click and "extract here".
[07:42] <Sail> roboto: then, sudo mv seamonkey /usr/local to move the unpacked folder
[07:42] <Sail> and run it with
[07:42] <roboto> Sail: You mean build from source?
[07:42] <Sail> yup
[07:42] <dr_willis> looks like a precompiled binary to me
[07:42] <teacher_room> thanks almo uname -a Linux teacheroffice 3.2.0-31-generic  I think the 3.5 is for an unused CentOS partition
[07:42] <roboto> Sail: Then I'll use gentoo or slackware
[07:43] <dr_willis> not source
[07:43] <roboto> I want automagic fun
[07:43] <Sail> its all upto u
[07:43] <dr_willis> adding a ppa should be  easy also
[07:43] <hiemanshu> roboto: double click the deb, software centre should open up and allow you to install it
[07:43] <Sail> roboto: automagic windows
[07:44] <roboto> Sail: Automagic Virus
[07:44] <dr_willis> you were the one running shell commands withoug knowing what thet did..    ;)
[07:45] <roboto> dr_willis: That's Ubuntu in anut shell, there are other ways and ubuntu ways
[07:45] <dr_willis> so options are. find/use a precompiled binary, use a ppa, use source
[07:45] <almoxarife> teacher_room: look at lines 89-93 of the paste, those are what grub sees as viable, the rest can go as its trying, are you missing pckg 'dkms'?
[07:45] <dr_willis> your hcoice
[07:45] <roboto> dr_willis: When Ubuntu updates, I have no idea what is going on
[07:45] <Sail> roboto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey
[07:46] <teacher_room> is that whereis dkms?
[07:46] <teacher_room> dkms: /usr/src/vboxhost-4.2.0/dkms.conf
[07:46] <teacher_room> so it's source, maybe I am missing it
[07:47] <dr_willis> its in the repos?
[07:47] <dr_willis> !info seamonkey
[07:47] <dr_willis> ;) not in 12.10 it seems
[07:47] <roboto> :-(
[07:47] <dr_willis> !find seamonkey
[07:47] <deper29> roboto: just compile from source ;)
[07:47] <dr_willis> so we are back to ppa, static binary, or source
[07:48] <roboto> dr_willis: I am adding the ppa, I think
[07:48] <roboto> deper29: When I do an update, will there not be complications?
[07:49] <roboto> by building from source
[07:49] <roboto> While everything else is repository
[07:49] <dr_willis> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey/+question/187826
[07:49] <dr_willis> seamonkey ppa should only update seam onkey
[07:50] <teacher_room> can i make grub quit finding all those kernels?
[07:50] <roboto> dr_willis: I got it, thanks so much!
[07:50] <deper29> roboto: depending where source is. if it's on github you can just pull down the changes at any time you want and then recompile.
[07:50] <somsip> teacher_room: remove them
[07:50] <almoxarife> teacher_room: nevermind the 'dkms' tangent, i confused the dpkg with dkms, unless you do have vbox, then you still want to know its there
[07:51] <almoxarife> teacher_room: only by removing the 'image'
[07:51] <roboto> Why'd ubuntu get rid os seamonkey?
[07:51] <deper29> actually, you can do that with svn or mercurial or,etc...
[07:51] <roboto> of seamonkey
[07:51] <dr_willis> no one wanted to mantain it perhaps
[07:51] <roboto> It's actually a pretty good e-mail client
[07:51] <dr_willis> never needed it.. so no ide
[07:53] <almoxarife> teacher_room: have you rebooted since the pastebin?
[07:53] <teacher_room> no
[07:54] <teacher_room> but i had the problem before the last reboot
[07:54] <almoxarife> teacher_room: when you do kernel 3.5 will want to boot
[07:55] <teacher_room> is there a flag for apt-get just install the new thing i want, forget about removing unused kernels?
[07:55] <almoxarife> teacher_room: you used -f to install synaptic, why?
[07:56] <teacher_room> it was something i read i thought -f might fix my problem
[07:56] <nbastin> Anyone have experience with the precise preseed file?  I get stuck on writing the partitions and configuring LVM
[07:57] <teacher_room> first i ran software update from the unity menu and it said dpkg error run synaptic, then i found out i didn't have synaptic
[07:57] <teacher_room> well there's the bell back to class, thanks almo

[08:00] <deper29> teacher_room: are you trying to remove an old kernel?
[08:00] <dr_willis> theres some tweaking tools to help clean out old kernels
[08:00] <teacher_room> i am trying to get apt-get to work, it won't do anything b/c it says there are 4 kernels it can't remove
[08:00] <dr_willis> each kernel  and its related files take up acout 300mb i think
[08:01] <CharminTheMoose> I'm trying to get ubuntu precise to run in 64 MB of RAM inside a qemu vm, but on 'starting Bridge socket events into upstart', the system hangs. The hang doesn't happen if I use 76 or 128MB sizes.
[08:01] <dr_willis> whats the exact error messages and commands you are doing
[08:01] <deper29> dr_willis: can you not just remove the kernels from /boot?
[08:01] <almoxarife> deper29: no!
[08:01] <deper29> almoxarife: why not?
[08:02] <dr_willis> deper29:  err.. why not use the proper tools ;)
[08:02] <almoxarife> deper29: makes cleanup even worse
 deper29:  err.. why not use the proper tools ;)
[08:02] <Ben64> thats why not
[08:02] <dr_willis> i had like 15 kernels i cleaned out last week
[08:02] <deper29> what else needs to be cleaned up though?
[08:02] <Ben64> i thought newer ubuntus cleaned it automagically
[08:02] <dr_willis> used bleachbit, or was it ubuntu-tweak
[08:02] <Ben64> bleachbit is great
[08:03] <dr_willis> initrd files, header files.
[08:03] <almoxarife> i cleaned myself out of the actual running kernel once, :) , that was a mistake
[08:03] <dr_willis> i must of had 15 old kernels.. about 2gb total i think
[08:04] <deper29> almoxarife: I did that once as well :D
[08:04] <almoxarife> teacher_room: reboot into the new kernel, 3.5, then strip via synaptic one at a time the old ones
[08:05] <Miazma> My laptop doesn't wanna boot past syslinx on USB, anyone know why?
[08:06] <almoxarife> ubuntutweek still around?
[08:07] <almoxarife> Miazma: bad burn?
[08:08] <Miazma> almoxarife: Used several different burners.. YUMI, UNet, All in one.. all same problem.
[08:08] <Miazma> Also, used different USB sticks, again, same problem.
[08:08] <almoxarife> Miazma: bad iso?
[08:08] <Miazma> almoxarife: Downloaded several times from official Ubuntu website, checked MD5, etc.
[08:09] <almoxarife> Miazma: bad hardware?
[08:09] <dr_willis> just dd the image to usb normally works best for me
[08:09] <Miazma> almoxarife: The sticks function properly, I actually used one of them to recently install Windows 7 and 8.
[08:10] <almoxarife> Miazma: can you duplicate the job to cd/dvd?
[08:10] <Miazma> dr_willis: I keep hearing about "dd"'ing. Whats that?
[08:10] <dr_willis> dd if=cdimage.iso of=/dev/sdb
[08:10] <Miazma> almoxarife: Nope, the CD drive on this laptop is busted, and I dont have an external one handy.
[08:10] <almoxarife> Miazma: you asked for variables, i think i ran thru all of them, one of those is pooping out
[08:10] <dr_willis> dont make a mistake with dd ;)
[08:10] <Miazma> How could I perform that from Windows?
[08:11] <dr_willis> windows had tools to image straight to usb. winimage perhaps?
[08:11] <dr_willis> not used it in ages
[08:11] <Miazma> Not heard of that one.
[08:11] <dr_willis> the ubuntu download site used to have links
[08:11] <almoxarife> dr_willis: are you using win? :)
[08:12] <dr_willis> or i got links on   delicious.dom/dr_willis
[08:12] <dr_willis> or i got links on   delicious.com/dr_willis

[08:14] <siloxid`> .conf are config files, they don't run under normal conditions
[08:15] <dr_willis> Miazma:  thats worked for me. i had to rename foo.iso to foo.img i recall
[08:16] <dr_willis> theres other dd tools for windows
[08:16] <Miazma> dr_willis: yeah, that was my second question. I'll give that a shot, thanks.
[08:16] <hiemanshu> or just change the filter to all files, and yeah, win32diskimager is the best
[08:17] <Lantizia> Lo, any recommendations on a make/model of 20+ inch touchscreen monitor that also has hdmi/hdcp (as well as normal vga/dvi)?
[08:17] <Lantizia> I figure if I'm going to get a new monitor that can do both my pc and ps3 - it may as well be touchscreen for unity
[08:21] <dr_willis> im not even sure how well unity does touch screens
[08:21] <Lantizia> lol, if unity doesn't do well with touchscreens - then it truely is a totally useless interface
[08:22] <dr_willis> more of a touchscreen drivers/x being so varied i imagine
[08:22] <Lantizia> ever since it came out I've been swapping back to a gnome-panel (or equivalent) and giving unity the benefit of the doubt because I *don't* have a touchscreen monitor
[08:22] <dr_willis> i cant really imagine using a touchscreen on a desktop pc
[08:22] <hiemanshu> I have a 12" tablet (atom based) sitting here next to me, unity is nice with it
[08:22] <dr_willis> i use a mouse on my tables sitting on my desk also
[08:22] <hiemanshu> just wish I could get the damn pointer to show
[08:23] <dr_willis> heh.
[08:23] <hiemanshu> if I could, I'd use synergy to control it, either that, or move to XFCE or KDE or something
[08:23] <deper29> hiemanshu: isn't your finger the pointer when you touch the screen?
[08:23] <dr_willis> not seen any atom based tablets.   heard of them
[08:24] <Lantizia> there doesn't even seem to be that many touchscreen monitors for sale (at least not on my two main computer-related shops scan.co.uk and aria.co.uk)
[08:24] <hiemanshu> deper29: yeah, but when I'd like to use synergy, so need to get a mouse pointer to show
[08:24] <dr_willis> i use so many keybord shortucts   touch screen would slow me down
[08:24] <CharminTheMoose> I personally use Window Maker, nice window manager-with-a-dock
[08:24] <dr_willis> aint you old skool. ;)
[08:24] <dr_willis> its a 'warf'  i recall
[08:25] <hiemanshu> if I cant find a solution, I am just going to install xmonad and stick with it
[08:25] <CharminTheMoose> hehe
[08:25] <dr_willis> i miss some of the wmaker features.. had some neat wmaker dock apps. and it had some neat options
[08:26] <jiltdil> Complete hardisk cloning.. other that using clonezilla.Any idea?
[08:26] <dr_willis> had some  really weird wriedness also
[08:26] <dr_willis> jiltdil:  dd   ;)
[08:27] <dr_willis> fsarchiver  but thats not a clone image
[08:28] <dr_willis> it depends on details of what you are doing a lot jiltdil
[08:30] <ubuntu075> My laptop has nvidia optimus and after installing nvidia drivers the onboard display reports a max resolution of 640x480 while it really is a 1080p display - how can i fix this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429178/

[08:33] <jiltdil> we r facing a some prob with clonziolla
[08:33] <dr_willis> clonezilla is designed for such tasks
[08:34] <dr_willis> dd and a lot of patience is another way

[08:49] <cselinux> deeper29: within my dash home or is there a dash home on this page that I am unaware of
[08:50] <deper29> cselinux: there should be an application called additional drivers

[08:50] <ubuntu075> deper29: nope im here
[08:50] <ubuntu075> wdp: sec

[08:55] <ubuntu075> My laptop has nvidia optimus and after installing nvidia drivers the onboard display reports a max resolution of 640x480 while it really is a 1080p display - how can i fix this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429178/ xorg log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429276/
[08:55] <wdp> ubuntu075, take a look at lines 102 to 104
[08:55] <wdp> ubuntu075, and stop repeating yourself over and over again. people won't answer if you do that.
[08:56] <wdp> ubuntu075, i have no idea about nvidia "optimus" but it seems the "nvidia" driver is not used by xorg for your graphic ard. probably it's falling back to vesa or something else, which might explain the low resolution
[08:57] <wdp> ubuntu075, you're sure the correct nvidia driver is installed? did you reboot after installation (just to make sure?)
[08:57] <deper29> ubuntu075: I think you need bumblebee
[08:57] <wdp> yup, i remember regarding that optimus stuff people need something else. but since i don't have such stuff i didn't bother yet.
[08:58] <RomeoAva> I remove Bumblebee, reboot, and the resolution is bad, I will install again
[08:58] <wdp> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[08:59] <cselinux> mr_willis:, deper29: I went to my additional drivers and selected using broadcom 802.11 linux STA driver from .....
[09:00] <drag0nius> what i need to update to change hostname?
[09:00] <drag0nius>  /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname isnt sufficient
[09:00] <deper29> cselinux: it should say there's proprietary drivers or something to install
[09:00] <drag0nius> it still says ssl certificate is invalid because of old hostname
[09:01] <deper29> then after you install them you reboot and hopefully you will be good :)
[09:05] <theredmoodwin> Does anyone here speak german? I need something translated. Just one word.
[09:05] <theredmoodwin> I don't know of anywhere else there would be a big mass of people.
[09:06] <AnAnt> Hello, someone messed badly with his laptop, seems he done something with libc6 installation
[09:06] <deper29> drag0nius: did you restart after?
[09:06] <AnAnt> is it possible to re-install libc6 in rescue mode (ie. after booting from Ubuntu install CD in rescue mode) ?
[09:07] <drag0nius> yep
[09:07] <drag0nius> also looks like hostname service isnt running at all
[09:08] <ragsagar> How can I disable a service from startup?
[09:08] <deper29> try sudo hostname <new hostname>
[09:08] <drag0nius> there is no output
[09:08] <auronandace> !hostname
[09:09] <kracekumar> ubottu use python
[09:09] <drag0nius> how would i include both old and new?
[09:10] <almoxarife> ragsagar: is it shown at /etc/init.d/?
[09:10] <almoxarife> ragsagar: what service?
[09:11] <drag0nius> hmm maybe windows just holds old hostname
[09:11] <drag0nius> and doesnt update
[09:13] <deper29> drag0nius: what are you trying to do exactly?
[09:13] <ubuntu075> wdp yes correct drivers are installed, and yes i rebooted. deper29: i have bumblebee.
[09:13] <drag0nius> change hostname so it matches my ssl certificate
[09:14] <drag0nius> i still have holder and issuer as old hostname
[09:14] <drag0nius> even though i re-created it
[09:19] <almoxarife> drag0nius: running a mail server there?
[09:19] <alfredigno> ciao
[09:20] <alfredigno> !lista
[09:20] <shikata_ga_nai> hey guys i have been using ubuntu 10.04 in my new laptop for quite sometime, i kind of wonder why some desktop effects can't be used.I am sure enough that i enabled those effects in the settings menu.
[09:20] <drag0nius> i can still ping old 'ubuntu-server' hostname
[09:20] <drag0nius> from server itself
[09:21] <lhavelund> !it > alfredigno
[09:21] <drag0nius> i've sendmail installed
[09:22] <lowrezz> hi
[09:22] <lowrezz> my ubuntu doesn't start anymore
[09:23] <RomeoAva> the same bug, after reboot
[09:23] <lowrezz> i have some error like old refcount >0
[09:23] <lowrezz> falied
[09:23] <lowrezz> in … file …. dbus.c
[09:23] <lowrezz> what the hell does that mean
[09:23] <lhavelund> lowrezz: Watch your language, please - this is a family-friendly channel.
[09:24] <lowrezz> sorry
[09:24] <lowrezz> can anyone help me please with that issue?
[09:24] <xx4h> hmja.
[09:24] <lhavelund> !de > xx4h
[09:24] <drag0nius> so any ideas?
[09:24] <lowrezz> thats the second time i install ubuntu and it fails
[09:24] <lowrezz> after some time
[09:24] <lowrezz> i have the server version btw
[09:25] <lowrezz> anyone?
[09:25] <almoxarife> lowrezz: pastebin /var/log/syslog
[09:26] <deper29> shikata_ga_nai: like burn and stuff?
[09:26] <lowrezz> i can't
[09:26] <lowrezz> it does not boot
[09:26] <almoxarife> lowrezz: where is that error seen?
[09:27] <shikata_ga_nai> deper29,yeah and other several effects..
[09:27] <deper29> shikata_ga_nai: nvidia card?
[09:28] <xx4h> 2>/dev/null | foreach my $nick (@rest) { hi $nick };
[09:28] <shikata_ga_nai> deper29,yep nvidia gt 630m .I have already installed the close source driver of this card from there site, still didn't work.
[09:29] <deper29> shikata_ga_nai: did you enable the additional effects?
[09:29] <deper29> er, extra effects or whatever it's called
[09:30] <BabySuperman> if I'm using ubuntu 12.04, what's the program I'm using when I call 'service uwsgi restart'
[09:31] <alfredigno> ciao
[09:31] <alfredigno> !lista
[09:31] <ubuntu075> wdp deper29 i already have bumblebee
[09:32] <deper29> ubuntu075: I know. I don't know how else to help. I don't have nvidia optimus myself :(
[09:32] <ubuntu075> wdp deper29 dkms status : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429314/
[09:32] <ubuntu075> bbswitch = bumblebee
[09:34] <almoxarife> !bubblebee
[09:34] <almoxarife> !bumbblebee
[09:34] <deper29> !bumblebee
[09:34] <almoxarife> !info bumblebee
[09:36] <deper29> i'm off to bed. it's too late
[09:37] <deper29> shikata_ga_nai: I think what I did when I was on 10.04 was enable extra desktop effects, then reboot, then I was able to do the burning and other effects. Otherwise if I clicked the box it would just unclick itself right away
[09:39] <lowrezz_> re
[09:39] <lowrezz_> now i could log in
[09:39] <shikata_ga_nai> deper29,yep i enabled it.So what now?
[09:41] <ubuntu075> My laptop has nvidia optimus and after installing nvidia drivers the onboard display reports a max resolution of 640x480 while it really is a 1080p display - how can i fix this ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429178/ xorg log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429276/ | bumblebee is installed as well as correct drivers
[09:41] <lowrezz_> well i think i should switch back to debian
[09:43] <AndroUser> ..
[09:43] <lowrezz_> now i have a screen
[09:43] <lowrezz_> that says waiting for network configuration
[09:43] <lowrezz_> I'm using ubuntu server btw
[09:43] <lowrezz_> what does that mean, the network interface is not working?
[09:44] <heoyea_> death
[09:44] <almoxarife> lowrezz_: it means that a network connection could not be made
[09:44] <almoxarife> lowrezz_: you are installing or running?
[09:45] <lowrezz_> running
[09:45] <lowrezz_> it worked yesterday
[09:45] <lowrezz_> either i got hacked or i don't know
[09:45] <notwist> lowrezz_: your network settings not working is hardly a first indicator that you "got hacked"
[09:45] <almoxarife> lowrezz_: i doubt you got 'hacked'
[09:46] <dr_willis> dog chewed on the cable :) is more likely
[09:47] <lowrezz_> it writes connect() were incorrect, assertion "re_fcount >0 .... dbus-server.c
[09:47] <lowrezz_> line706
[09:48] <lowrezz_> so what does that mean?
[09:48] <dr_willis> what says that lowrezz_ ?
[09:48] <lowrezz_> when i try to boot up
[09:48] <lowrezz_> it stops
[09:48] <lowrezz_> and says that
[09:49] <notwist> lowrezz_: thats not something ive ever seen during an ubuntu boot
[09:49] <lowrezz_> after that it goes on booting
[09:49] <lowrezz_> after some while
[09:50] <junkyhlm> hi guys ( and gals) could someone help me out with some pointers on openvpn and how to route traffic from a specific program?
[09:50] <lowrezz_> but the pc is not appearing in the network
[09:50] <lowrezz_> can't ping it or anything else
[09:50] <notwist> lowrezz_: does it get an ip?
[09:50] <lowrezz_> yes
[09:51] <notwist> ...and it is?
[09:51] <dr_willis> can it ping other machines?
[09:51] <lowrezz_> the old one
[09:51] <lowrezz_> yes
[09:51] <notwist> lowrezz_: "the old one"? how do you think im supposed to understand what that means?
[09:51] <dr_willis> can it ping  its own ip?
[09:51] <lowrezz_> wait i try
[09:52] <paracetamol> .....
[09:52] <paracetamol> .......
[09:52] <lhavelund> paracetamol: Please don't do that.
[09:53] <paracetamol> ?
[09:53] <dr_willis> do you have a support question?
[09:54] <stemid_> my system is using a lot of diskcache, 1G, it has 2G RAM in total. it's running postgresql and it's swapping 70MB right now. with just 10M free. the daemon.log has not been written since its last iteration, daemon.log.1.
[09:54] <stemid_> I wonder if I should upgrade RAM in it.
[09:54] <stemid_> feels like I should.
[09:54] <junkyhlm> I have a server running rtorrent and apache2 and i only want the rtorrent traffic to be tunneled through openvpn. Is this possible?
[09:55] <notwist> junkyhlm im pretty sure openvpn can work on a port-to-port basis so yes, you could tunnel only the port that rtorrent uses
[09:55] <notwist> junkyhlm try reading the openvpn manual because i have no idea how
[09:57] <junkyhlm> notwist: ok yeah i've been searching for 3 days now and i cant find any help on the subject. I've reached the conclusion that it's possible through iptables but since i quite the noob on openvpn and iptables, i'll need someone to teach me
[09:59] <heoyea_> no money
[10:01] <junkyhlm> anyone thats up for the task of helping me can PM me, i want to learn! :)
[10:01] <van7hu> hi, I am using 10.04 desktop edition, where is my open-jdk-6 installed?
[10:02] <heoyea_> menu
[10:02] <stemid> van7hu: dpkg -L open-jdk-6
[10:03] <notwist> junkyhlm: theres plenty of books on both iptables and openvpn ;)
[10:03] <van7hu> stemid, thanks
[10:03] <notwist> junkyhlm: the way you learn stuff is by having an actual goal and then reading up on it, not getting ready made solutions from someone else
[10:04] <ragsagar> almoxarife: autofs and it is there.
[10:05] <junkyhlm> notwist: i dont want any ready made solution, i want to learn but the info i've found got a bit steep learning curve
[10:05] <ragsagar> I just installed and configure autofs. It is running now. How can I check that if it is enabled to start duing booting?
[10:06] <notwist> junkyhlm: the learning curve is always steep to begin with, thats why you gotta push through and the next time you have a problem it will be 10x easier to solve
[10:07] <dr_willis> well if autofs is  a service managed by upstart it should have a conf file in /etc/init
[10:08] <ragsagar> dr_willis: /etc/init/autofs.conf exists
[10:08] <junkyhlm> yeah i know that but i'ts always good to have someone to bounce ideas and questions with
[10:08] <dr_willis> so it should start at boot
[10:08] <dr_willis> unless you edit the .conf to tell it not to
[10:08] <ragsagar> dr_willis: thanks. how can i disable that?
[10:09] <dr_willis> see the upstart cookbook for  the various ways to stop a service
[10:09] <dr_willis> one way.. rename it to autofs.dontrun
[10:10] <heoyea_> uninstall
[10:11] <Braden`> Hello
[10:12] <Braden`> Does anyone know when Ubuntu will include the Trac 1.0 package instead of using the 0.12 version that has been distributed for ages?
[10:13] <heoyea_> next time
[10:13] <Braden`> I doubt that
[10:13] <Braden`> Any intelligible answer?
[10:13] <heoyea_> do it urself then
[10:13] <dr_willis> check with the package maintainer perhaps
[10:13] <Braden`> How do I do that?
[10:13] <dr_willis> !info trac
[10:14] <Braden`> 0.13 was released over a year ago
[10:14] <dr_willis> not sure. there is the #ubuntu-dev channel i think..
[10:14] <Braden`> Ok, thanks
[10:14] <Braden`> Nobody is there
[10:14] <dr_willis> or was it ubuntu-developers
[10:14] <dr_willis> !alis
[10:16] <somsip> Braden`: these have links to the developers http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=trac
[10:17] <somsip> *or maintainers
[10:17] <dr_willis> yea. maintainers is the proper term. ;)
[10:19] <lowrezz__> almoxarife: why don't think i I'm not hacked?
[10:19] <lowrezz__> i mean why do you doubt it
[10:19] <dr_willis> seems 13.04 has version 12.4 of trac
[10:19] <dr_willis> err 0.12.4
[10:19] <almoxarife> lowrezz__: like i said, where is the syslog?
[10:20] <junkyhlm> Anyone that could point me in the best direction for books and help with OpenVPN?
[10:20] <lowrezz__> ok
[10:20] <heoyea_> openvpn.com
[10:22] <lowrezz__> almoxarife: i fixed it
[10:22] <lowrezz__> it was a problem on the router side i guess
[10:22] <lowrezz__> strange
[10:23] <lowrezz__> almoxarife: thanks a lot for your help anyway
[10:29] <dannydodar> can somone help out
[10:29] <ikonia> if you ask a question, people will try
[10:31] <ironhalik> When I put Ubuntu 12.04 into hibernation, it locks the bios not allowing it to boot from other drives, until the hibernated OS boots again
[10:31] <ironhalik> is there any way around it?
[10:31] <dannydodar> does anyone know a way to get source engine games to run at full spec without wine
[10:32] <heoyea_> install windows
[10:32] <dannydodar> why is wine so bad at running some games
[10:32] <dannydodar> well yeah
[10:32] <meowagism> join #debian
[10:32] <dannydodar> that was an option but i think microsoft are blood sucking bastards
[10:33] <ironhalik> heoyea_: I dualboot, thats why I want to hibernate my Ubuntu install and boot into windows
[10:33] <lhavelund> dannydodar: Watch your language, and keep your hostility out of this channel, please.
[10:33] <dannydodar> yes
[10:33] <ironhalik> it kinda works, but I need to wait through the POST screen to GRUB, then do a hard reset and boot into windows
[10:34] <dannydodar> my grub seems to freeze up
[10:34] <dannydodar> idk why
[10:35] <dannydodar> lol, im sat in school doing an e c-commerce power point for my ict work
[10:35] <heoyea_> ironhalik: why u need to hibernate if u booting into another os
[10:36] <ironhalik> heoyea_: to save my session
[10:36] <dannydodar> i do it, its faster
[10:36] <ironhalik> ideally, I would like the option make GRUB boot into certain os the next reboot
[10:37] <dannydodar> i think theres a way
[10:37] <dannydodar> you would have to re-code dos
[10:37] <ironhalik> I dont do DOS ;>
[10:38] <dannydodar> add an option to start grub with a key at boot
[10:38] <dannydodar> lol
[10:38] <dannydodar> ITS FUN!!]
[10:38] <dannydodar> lol
[10:38] <ikonia> ok - could we return to ubuntu discussion please,
[10:38] <ironhalik> it was, 10 years ago
[10:38] <dannydodar> i find dos hard, i dont tend to play with it
[10:39] <dannydodar> what i meen is; "you could use dos to code somthing into bios so that on start up you would have to manualy start grub and it would boot for you
[10:40] <ikonia> ok - could we return to ubuntu discussion please,
[10:40] <ironhalik> ikonia: I'm asking how to make Ubuntu not lock BIOS after hibernation
[10:41] <ironhalik> so It's kinda an ubuntu discussion
[10:41] <ikonia> ironhalik: yeah talking nonsense about writing dos into the bios isn't a discussion though
[10:41] <ikonia> ironhalik: ubuntu doesn't touch the bios
[10:41] <ikonia> ironhalik: are you sure it's the bios that's the problem and not a device ?
[10:42] <dannydodar> no it doesnt
[10:42] <ikonia> ironhalik: that said hibernation is known to cause problems on certain hardware devices due to their weak linux support
[10:42] <dannydodar> i know
[10:42] <dannydodar> i only know  a little
[10:42] <ironhalik> ikonia: I don't know whats the cause, but after I hibernate and reboot, I can't choose different drive to boot until GRUB loads
[10:42] <dannydodar> most of my code is done by a few devs
[10:43] <ironhalik> then I need to do a hard reset and boot in whatever I want
[10:43] <fabricio_raszeja> Hello everyone :D
[10:46] <SpaceRocket> how to add nameserver from command line or disable resolvconf update ?
[10:47] <ikonia> ironhalik: thats normal though isn't it, when you reboot it resumes from hibernation
[10:48] <lostfile> SpaceRocket: sudo echo "nameserver {ip}" > /etc/resolv.conf
[10:48] <ironhalik> ikonia: yeah, but I would prefer it to show GRUB before it resumes my session. Or allow me to choose boot drive in POST
[10:48] <soulnafein> This is my xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429437/ I'm having a blank screen problem at boot after installing nvidia-current drivers via the additional drivers application in ubuntu 12.04. I'm on a Macbook Air 3,2. I'm really struggling to figure out what to do.
[10:48] <lostfile> SpaceRocket: then, chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[10:49] <soulnafein> I need accelerated 3d drivers so that I can develop a WebGL application.
[10:49] <ikonia> ironhalik: but that's not expected behaviour
[10:49] <ikonia> ironhalik: you're asking for a feature change
[10:49] <llutz> SpaceRocket: echo "nameserver a.b.c.d" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf
[10:50] <ironhalik> ikonia: I'm asking for a choice.
[10:51] <llutz> !resolv.conf | SpaceRocket
[10:53] <SpaceRocket> lostfile, what does +i do ?
[10:55] <lostfile> SpaceRocket: A file with the 'i' attribute cannot be modified
[10:55] <lostfile> SpaceRocket: cannot be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to this file, no data can be written to the file..
[10:56] <babilen> (ugly hack in the context of name resolution)
[10:56] <Phoebus> Any ideas to quickly script deleting files older than 3 weeks? cheers!
[10:57] <max999> Phoebus: i find on tons of ways to do this on google.
[10:58] <wdp_> someone here using drbd+heartbeat in ubuntu server? llutz maybe? :-)
[10:58] <tree48> My right click is not working in HP DM4 Pavilion Series 1063cl notebook in installed ubuntu 12.04. please help
[10:58] <max999> Phoebus: most use a cronjob / shell script with find and -atime or -mtime to check access or modified age.
[10:59] <llutz> Phoebus: find /path -mtime +21 -delete
[10:59] <wdp_> (right, i should ask a proper question) I have trouble getting heartbeat to work. It is not mounting the device automatically, and I get: some errors regarding the ip address which i've set according to this page: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/DRBD
[10:59] <Phoebus> max999, yes, looking at some of this but need something simpler.
[10:59] <llutz> wdp_: neither i use drdb nor ubuntu-server, sry
[10:59] <lostfile> max999: +1
[10:59] <max999> Phoebus, simpler than a one liner? ;)
[10:59] <Phoebus> llutz, coolio
[10:59] <Phoebus> thanks a ton :)
[10:59] <wdp_> llutz, kk :-)
[10:59] <max999> use atime if you want to keep accessed files though.
[10:59] <llutz> Phoebus: add a "-type f" and test with echo or ls -l before
[11:00] <ikonia> ironhalik: that choice is not exected behaviour, so you are asking for a feature/design change
[11:01] <ikonia> ironhalik: I don't see how that's going to eb very easy to achieve due to how different hardware vendors provide interaction
[11:03] <wdp_> nvm. solved.
[11:06] <jellow> does jaunty still get updates ? I only get 404s
[11:08] <jellow> :y fears were correct :(

[11:10] <dr_willis> turn of a dime?
[11:10] <max999> bans not worth much i once did put free proxies on a test, irc doesnt recognize any of them.
[11:11] <jellow> how do I change tty resolution ? I have no google sorry
[11:11] <max999> jellow: get lynx and you have google ;)
[11:11] <dr_willis> jellow:  well used to be you could use fbset to change the framebuffer consoles.. but im not even sure that framebuffers are enabled any more
[11:11] <jellow> max999:  lynx is a beast I have yet to tame
[11:12] <dr_willis> !fb
[11:12] <max999> jellow: its pretty simple you just need to use a few keys =)
[11:12] <dr_willis> lynx https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[11:12] <dr_willis> ;)
[11:12] <dr_willis> or use links
[11:12] <jellow> now I neet to learn how to copy paste ..
[11:12] <dr_willis> ive noticed my consoles are slightly smaller
[11:13] <dr_willis> !info gpm | jellow
[11:13] <dr_willis> gpm lets you use a mouse on the console
[11:13] <max999> !info !info | max

[11:16] <SpaceRocket> chattr Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf, any help?
[11:16] <dr_willis> whats saying that SpaceRocket ?
[11:16] <Duke_> hi! how i see the files in trash can in ubuntu?
[11:17] <SpaceRocket> dr_willis, chattr +i
[11:17] <dr_willis> !trash
[11:17] <dr_willis> SpaceRocket:  why are you using chattr +i?
[11:17] <SpaceRocket> dr_willis, to keep conf in that file permenantely after I tried many other ways
[11:19] <Duke_> dr_willis: thank you
[11:20] <ciss> hi, i have multiple ip addresses bound to one interface. currently the web server listening can be accessed via all ips, but responds only on the first one.
[11:21] <ciss> what steps do i need to take to make it respond with the ip it received the request from?
[11:21] <ciss> i'm guessing something about configuring routes?
[11:22] <sevenforall> I keep getting system error messages while everything keeps working. Isn't there a way to turn them off?
[11:22] <sevenforall> The prompts are more annoying than whatever issue they're warning about
[11:22] <dr_willis> what 'system error' messages do you mean.
[11:22] <sevenforall> I don't know, it simply comes up with prompts that there's *something* wrong, and if I'd like to report that
[11:22] <sevenforall> I'll take a screen next time it comes up
[11:23] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/93457/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-apport
[11:24] <sevenforall> Oh, why thank you :)
[11:24] <sevenforall> No shit, I am typing that command as it comes up again, lol

[11:25] <lhavelund> sevenforall: Watch your language please
[11:25] <sevenforall> lhavelund: Hm?
[11:25] <lhavelund> sevenforall: Your language. This is a family-friendly channel.
[11:25] <sevenforall> lhavelund: Yes, I understand, but what's wrong with it?
[11:25] <lhavelund> Re-read your sentence, then you should be able to pick it out.
[11:26] <dr_willis> instead of typing a 5 word sentance that the dialog had.. you pasted a massive huge screen show to show a ittsy bittsy dialog box.. ;P thats amuzeing..
[11:26] <lhavelund> For now, let's keep that out of this channel.
[11:26] <dr_willis> Thats the apport dialog - see the url i gave above
[11:26] <sevenforall> lhavelund: I assume you're talking about 'no ****', then? Aha... Well, all right, if you insist. My apologies.
[11:26] <sevenforall> dr_willis: I got that, thanks
[11:26] <lhavelund> sevenforall: Apology accepted! And thanks for understanding.
[11:26] <sevenforall> dr_willis: And, well, I just like making huge screenshots ;)
[11:27] <trap88> my touchpad right click is not working. Its HP pavilion DM4 1063cl. All the links to enable-clickpad in the support group is broken. Please Help!
[11:27] <sevenforall> trap88: Are you certain it's not a hardware problem?
[11:27] <trap88> sevenforall: yes
[11:27] <sevenforall> trap88: All right, let's have a look
[11:27] <trap88> sevenforall: sure :)
[11:28] <sevenforall> trap88: What Ubuntu version are you on?
[11:28] <trap88> sevenforall: 12.04.1
[11:28] <trap88> LTS
[11:30] <trap88> sevenforall: any ideas ?
[11:30] <sevenforall> trap88: On a forum, I find this array of commands, have you tried those? http://pastie.org/5519916
[11:31] <sevenforall> *found
[11:31] <trap88> sevenforall: yes
[11:31] <trap88> but requirese reboot
[11:32] <guuest> can you help, please, with pulseaudio and alsa problems?
[11:32] <dr_willis> guuest:  give the channel details and see
[11:33] <sevenforall> trap88: You can't reboot?
[11:34] <Duke_> how i set files as rewritable?
[11:34] <Duke_> and folders too
[11:34] <ikonia> Duke_: use the gui
[11:35] <ikonia> or chmod
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> Duke_  chmod 755
[11:35] <Duke_> thank you ikonia and MonkeyDust :)
[11:35] <sevenforall> Ah, permissions, something I still don't fully get, which is a huge security threat
[11:35] <guuest> most audio applications (like virtual piano, or sound editors) need a alsa audio but i have a pulseaudio with alsa. These apps do not work
[11:35] <subhojit777> I extracted apache solr in my system. It was supposed to give me start.jar file, while I got start.jar.sha1 file. I googled and found that a Mac user fixed this problem by installing xcode in her sysytem. How to do this in Ubuntu
[11:36] <guuest> why they don't work?
[11:36] <trap88_> sevenforall: yup It worked man :) thanks
[11:36] <trap88_> sevenforall: i googled a lot. where did you find those scripts ?
[11:38] <sevenforall> trap88_: It was literally the first link, lol
[11:38] <sevenforall> Googled for "ubuntu touchpad right click", top link was "[SOLVED] HP Mini 210 touchpad right click not working"
[11:38] <gara> hi.. i'm new user ubuntu 12.10 :)
[11:38] <sevenforall> Scrolled down a comment or 5, and bam, there it was :P
[11:39] <sevenforall> gara: New to Ubuntu, or new to 12.10?
[11:39] <sevenforall> trap88_: Glad it worked :) np
[11:39] <trap88_> sevenforall: :( what did you search ?
[11:39] <gara> ubuntu 12.10
[11:39] <sevenforall> trap88_: "ubuntu touchpad right click"
[11:40] <sevenforall> gara: Is it all that different from 12.10 besides the fact I personally think the buttons have got uglier?
[11:41] <guuest> heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
[11:41] <guuest> please
[11:41] <ikonia> guuest: you need to ask a question rather than do silly things like heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
[11:41] <ikonia> guuest: that way people listen and respond rather than put you on ignore
[11:43] <sevenforall> ikonia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCsfHVM5x_I#t=70s
[11:43] <gara> sevenforall: try searching it on google
[11:43] <sevenforall> gara: What, exactly?
[11:43] <ikonia> sevenforall: why are you posting that junk in here ?
[11:44] <bazhang> gara, please Never recommend google here
[11:44] <subhojit__> I extracted apache solr in my system. It was supposed to give me start.jar file, while I got start.jar.sha1 file. I googled and found that a Mac user fixed this problem by installing xcode in her sysytem. How to do this in Ubuntu
[11:44] <gara> bazhang: sorry, i dont know
[11:44] <bazhang> subhojit__, there is no xcode for linux. did you want to compile? then install build-essential
[11:45] <bazhang> !compile | subhojit__
[11:45] <ikonia> doesn't lok like it's a compile
[11:45] <ikonia> looks like it's starting a java application
[11:45] <subhojit__> ikonia, right
[11:46] <subhojit__> this will start apache application
[11:47] <ikonia> subhojit__: the sha1 file is probably a checksum of the java file
[11:47] <enzotib> !skype
[11:47] <subhojit__> ikonia, then how do I obtain the original file from the checksum
[11:48] <ikonia> subhojit__: it's not in the checksum,
[11:49] <subhojit__> ikonia, sha1 is an encryption algo right?
[11:50] <ikonia> subhojit__: very true
[11:50] <ikonia> subhojit__: so it could be an encypted file, although I feel is probably a checkshum
[11:51] <subhojit__> ikonia, when I open the file in vim it just shows some encrypted code
[11:51] <subhojit__> ikonia, do you think http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/sigtool.1.html this will help?
[11:51] <ikonia> subhojit__: ok, so it could be an encypted file
[11:51] <ikonia> subhojit__: I don't know if that will help as I have no information about the file
[11:52] <ikonia> subhojit__: I don't think that will help as creating a checksum/sig of an encypted file adds no value
[11:52] <subhojit__> ikonia, hmm right..
[11:53] <sevenforall> ikonia: To give an impression of what guuest sounded like to me. No reason to be tense about it, c'mon now.
[11:54] <ikonia> sevenforall: you just posted a pointless link in a support channel to mock another user, unacceptable "c'mon now"
[11:55] <sevenforall> ikonia: Making a scene about it isn't going to make it any better. Person never asked a question in the first place, it was silent, no one was really bothered by it. Just ignore it.
[11:58] <ikonia> sevenforall: no, don't post that random stuff please.
[11:59] <sevenforall> ikonia: You've wasted more lines on your critique than that video ever did. Again, just ignore it.
[12:05] <Brian01> hi

[12:06] <Brian01> anyone here use Zorin OS?
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> Brian01  #zorinos
[12:07] <srhb> I have an intermittent problem where after suspending my laptop, it immediately wakes up. However I haven't been able to figure out what causes it. Only a reboot will make suspend work again after that happens. Where do I start diagnosing this? Are there any relevant log files?
[12:08] <srhb> (I know some of them, but I've probably missed something obvious(
[12:08] <Brian01> Compiz keeps crashing wanna get rid of it
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> Brian01 ask in the channel  #zorinos
[12:09] <Brian01> thanks
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> exit
[12:10] <sevenforall> Yep, back. Again, sorry for the miscommunication.
[12:15] <sevenforall> What's the time in the US? It's silent.
[12:15] <ikonia> sevenforall: it's ubuntu technical support/discussion channel
[12:15] <ikonia> or goggle for timezone differences
[12:16] <ikonia> not chat channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus for general chatter

[12:23] <bazhang> sarfraz_, with your router?
[12:23] <sarfraz_> no

[12:24] <TheLordOfTime> sarfraz_, what're you trying to do anyways...?
[12:25] <sarfraz_> i have configured dhcp and i also want to configure ddns inside dhcp
[12:25] <sevenforall> sarfraz_: Are you experiencing any connectivity issues? What exactly are you trying to achieve?
[12:30] <sarfraz_> i have configured dhcp and i also want to configure ddns inside dhcp
[12:30] <almoxarife> sarfraz_: you want a full blown server or something like a cache
[12:30] <sarfraz_> a server
[12:30] <almoxarife> sarfraz_: bind
[12:31] <vitimiti> (·.·)/
[12:31] <ikonia> sarfraz_: there are some good doucments on the ISC site around using the ISC bind / dhcpd daemon together
[12:32] <ikonia> sarfraz_: it's also worth grabbing the O'reilly DNS cookbook if you're going to do this sort of thing as it has some good examples, good info and takes you beyond what you want to do to things you didn't know you could do
[12:32] <Guest42633> Hello, this is a my first day in IRC chat. Only speak spanish, my english is very bad, excused my, i like speak with spanish people or castellano languaje. Salute for all people of Linux!!!

[12:37] <almoxarife> i want to be able to pastebinit a mouse-highlite, how would i do that?
[12:38] <sevenforall> What exactly are you highlighting?
[12:39] <srhb> I'm curious, does ksplice integration mean that when I see updates to the linux kernel in apt-get upgrade, I in fact don't need to reboot?
[12:39] <almoxarife> sevenforall: does not matter, just some high-lite
[12:39] <sarfraz_> how to configure of dynamic domain dns on ubuntu
[12:39] <MonkeyDust> !info ksplice
[12:39] <sevenforall> almoxarife: I think in this case it might be easier to just copy/paste it to Pastebin
[12:40] <almoxarife> sevenforall: thats not easier
[12:40] <sevenforall> Afaik, pastebinit is more relevant when you want to paste the outputs of a command
[12:41] <almoxarife> exec rekonq  "https://www.google.com/search?q=$googleWord"; <-- sevenforall... , that already high-lites/copys/pastes to google,
[12:41] <sarfraz_> how to configure of dynamic domain dns on ubuntu
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> sarfraz_  better ask in #ubuntu-server
[12:41] <sarfraz_> yes
[12:41] <almoxarife> sarfraz_: how do you mean dynamic? are you talking about within your own network?
[12:42] <sarfraz_> yes
[12:42] <almoxarife> yes, what? sort of expand on what you are trying to achive, sarfraz_...
[12:42] <Danic> is there something like an unstable repository for ubuntu, with the current version of any software?
[12:43] <almoxarife> Danic: those would be 'ppa's
[12:43] <almoxarife> Danic: nice and unstable
[12:43] <Danic> i have a look
[12:43] <Danic> thx
[12:44] <oskar-> Danic:  Debian unstable ;)
[12:45] <Danic> can I put debian unstable repos in ubuntu sources list?
[12:45] <oskar-> Danic:  i would not do it ;)
[12:45] <Danic> ^^
[12:45] <almoxarife> Danic: i would not, but you do want 'unstable' it seems
[12:46] <MonkeyDust> Danic  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[12:46] <Danic> Ha, no :) I know it form Debian. I just want to have current software. In debian its called unstable, which does not necessarily mean unstable´software.

[12:52] <bhavesh> noting happens when i click additional drivers in ubuntu 12.04
[12:52] <MonkeyDust> !de
[12:53] <bhavesh> nothing*
[12:59] <Devilholk_> Uhm.. so I just installed ubuntu on a machine and I try to find the hardware drivers manager, google suggests System -> Administration but I don't find anything like that except system settings. I also searched in dash for additional drivers, no hits.
[13:00] <Devilholk_> Is this changed or have I lost parts of this system during install? o.O
[13:01] <lhavelund> Devilholk_: I hear it's in Software Sources
[13:02] <Devilholk_> Thanks, I'll have a look
[13:08] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[13:09] <Unhammer> hi, what file do I have to edit after moving partitions around?
[13:10] <Unhammer> /boot/grub-something?
[13:10] <Unhammer> I moved swap, / and /home
[13:10] <Unhammer> so I'm guessing some UUID's might have changed, or something
[13:10] <gol> Hi guys! I have created a simple script for ubuntu which depends on ImageMagick, should I credit ImageMagick on the head of teh script? What attributions are must?
[13:10] <Psi-Jack> Unhammer: Umm. Mostly /etc/fstab
[13:11] <oskar-> Unhammer:  /etc/fstab, perhaps /boot/grub/devices.map, and remember to have grub correctly installed and its updated
[13:11] <Psi-Jack> Unhammer: Though for / as well, you may need to update-grub2 if / contains your /boot
[13:11] <Unhammer> it does
[13:11] <Unhammer> ok
[13:13] <agsel> hey
[13:13] <fantasma> Hi^^
[13:13] <Unhammer> should /dev/disk/by-uuid show the actual UUID even if I haven't edited /etc/fstab etc.?
[13:14] <agsel> got a new computer. want to have windows and ubuntu. any tips whether I should use dual boot or virtual installation?
[13:14] <agsel> have win 7
[13:14] <agsel> and quite good hardware setup
[13:14] <fantasma> Is it a Laptop, or a desktop?
[13:15] <Psi-Jack> Unhammer: Yes. /dev/disk/* is generated by udevd, not fstab.
[13:15] <Myrtti> agsel: what do you plan to do with the laptop, and what GPU is it?
[13:15] <Unhammer> Psi-Jack,  ok, thanks
[13:16] <agsel> Myrtti: gpu is K2000M, dell precision. mostly I use linux
[13:16] <agsel> I would say 90% time I use linux
[13:16] <agsel> even 95%
[13:17] <agsel> but I have dual boot currently. if I had virtual solution, may-be I would use more. it just takes time to reboot into win
[13:18] <oskar-> agsel:  do you need windows with direct hardware access for gaming or similar performance hungry tasks?
[13:19] <greenit> hehe, the only reason i have windows on my pc too beneath linux^^
[13:19] <greenit> why i have*
[13:20] <Psi-Jack> dpac: We don't need a play-by-play of your IRC status through nick changes, or any other form of advertisement of it. :/
[13:20] <autopilot> hi - please could someone show me how to tar a directory but exclude a subdirectory from the archive please?
[13:20] <Unhammer> oh, it started fine after a second reboot with no changes. Odd, but I guess I should be happy =P
[13:21] <agsel> oskar-: I do some gaming
[13:21] <agsel> but I can boot to windows then
[13:21] <oskar-> autopilot:  see the manpage. a simple example: tar -c -v -f archive.tar --exclude=dir/subdir  dir
[13:21] <agsel> I will keep windows anyhow
[13:21] <agsel> still need MSoffice etc
[13:22] <agsel> but otherwise I do programming
[13:22] <srhb> agsel: You'll probably be surprised how good wine has become.
[13:22] <oskar-> agsel:  for gaming windows should run natively, for office, a virtualized windows would be sufficient. i have both ;)
[13:22] <srhb> I game in wine, outputting to my discrete GPU.
[13:23] <srhb> If your processor supports hardware address remapping, you can probably virtualize everything (if you have two GPUs)
[13:23] <Unhammer> for gaming, buy a wii, better for your health and free drive space =P
[13:23] <srhb> Sadly, mine does not.
[13:23] <autopilot> oskar-: thx - didn't realize the excluded dir had to be relative, that should do it
[13:24]  * Unhammer just removed the win7 partition after not having booted it since buying the laptop
[13:24] <srhb> Unhammer: Fried mine right when I got it, wine rocks. :P
[13:24] <Unhammer> :)
[13:25] <srhb> Then again, I'm on a tiny tiny SSD.
[13:25] <Unhammer> ditto
[13:25] <greenit> well, sadly gw2 does not run as fluent as in windows, so i will keep it for now :S
[13:26] <diverdude> I have a problem with free space in my root file system and i dont know whats hogging all the space. Is there a way to get some sort of overview of what takes up all the space?
[13:27] <srhb> diverdude: something like du -sd 1 /
[13:27] <srhb> diverdude: You might have to sudo it to not get permission errors
[13:27] <srhb> diverdude: Once you locate the hogging directory, do the same command, but with that path
[13:27] <diverdude> srhb, invalid option --d
[13:27] <srhb> diverdude: -d, not --d
[13:28] <diverdude> yeah i wrote du -sd 1 /
[13:28] <srhb> Oh sorry
[13:28] <srhb> du -hd 1 /
[13:28] <srhb> I'm rusty :-)
[13:28] <diverdude> mm same error
[13:28] <srhb> It appears you have a different version of du then.
[13:29] <diverdude> its -sh
[13:29] <greenit> diverdude: which version says du when you write "du --version"
[13:29] <srhb> diverdude: No, that's not what I wanted to do. I wanted depth 1, ie. -d 1 as well as human units -h
[13:29] <Nexuus> you trying to get a report of usage from / ?
[13:29] <srhb> yes, but he will want to dive deeper than df
[13:30] <Nexuus> ok.
[13:30] <srhb> (Most likely)
[13:31] <Nexuus> easiest thing is to cd /
[13:31] <Nexuus> then sudo du -hs *
[13:31] <srhb> Anyway, once you get the newer version of du, the workflow I like is du -hd 1 / | sort -h -- then take note of the directories at the bottom (biggest ones) and run the command on that path instead until you find the culprit
[13:31] <diverdude> its v. 8.5
[13:31] <srhb> 8.13 here
[13:31] <greenit> +
[13:32] <srhb> But it's true, you can emulate it with -s instead
[13:32] <srhb> just replace du -hd 1 / with du -hs /*
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> du -hs /* 2>/dev/null      to get rid of the errors
[13:34] <McQueen> hi, i am connecting to my server via ssh. how can i upgrade it 11.04 to 12.04 via terminal?
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> McQueen  you can't
[13:35] <srhb> McQueen: Google dist-upgrade
[13:35] <Pici> !google | srhb
[13:35] <Pici> srhb: also, a dist-upgrade is not the proper way to upgrade to a new release.
[13:35] <srhb> Pici: Apologies, I thought that he needed the word.
[13:36] <Pici> McQueen: You'll need to upgrade to 11.10 and then to 12.04
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> McQueen  if you have physical access to the remote pc, best were to fresh install
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> after backup ^^^^
[13:36] <McQueen> i cant access phtsical... its so far...
[13:37] <joey8> Pici: me too
[13:37] <McQueen> i am trying to install iredmail. but its not support 11.04
[13:38] <joey8> srhb: me too
[13:38] <joey8> i meant
[13:38] <McQueen> do you know a mail server like iredmail which i can install to 11.04
[13:39] <srhb> McQueen: Apparently, as Pici pointed out, I was confused about the upgrade mechanisms of Ubuntu. Please see this page https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html
[13:39] <anii> hey you, every time i open something (nautilus, google chrome) my computer opens also the ubuntu software center, whats wrong ? o.O
[13:40] <joey8> anii:  i had this once and i had to change program prefferences for some reason
[13:40] <McQueen> srhb, i read it... but do-release-upgrade doesnt running on my server.  -bash: ./do-release-upgrade: No such file or directory
[13:41] <anii> joey8: im german, i didnt understand what you mean, what are the profram prefferences i have to change?
[13:41] <joey8> anii:  PM PLEASE
[13:41] <srhb> McQueen: You probably meant do-release-upgrade, not ./do-release-upgrade, and I believe it is part of the update-manager-core package, if you do not have it (you should, I think)
[13:42] <ubuntuha> Hi
[13:42] <anii> Hello ubuntuha
[13:44] <juniour> hi
[13:45] <juniour> guys i wan t read the file /var/log/wtmp how can i read that
[13:45] <srhb> !dist-upgrade
[13:45] <srhb> Aha!
[13:45] <srhb> !upgrade
[13:46] <McQueen> srhb, thanks
[13:46] <juniour> "last:" command extracts the information from thae file /var/log/wtmp buti want to read ti directly
[13:46] <McQueen> Pici, thanks
[13:46] <juniour> any idea
[13:46] <juniour> ?
[13:47] <joey8> juniour: will “cat” work for you ok
[13:48] <srhb> juniour: It's a binary file, why don't you want to use the tool designed to read it?
[13:48] <srhb> juniour: You can pipe the output of last to a file if you want a copy.
[13:48] <juniour> joey8 its cat will give out put but its human readeable
[13:48] <juniour> sorry not human readeble
[13:49] <juniour> srhb yea i know its "last"
[13:49] <srhb> juniour: What's the problem then. :)
[13:49] <juniour> srhb its the binary or something
[13:50] <srhb> juniour: Yes, but what is the problem with using last to dump a human readable version from it?
[13:50] <srhb> juniour: That is, after all, exactly what last is designed to do.
 I have a problem with free space in my root file system and i dont
[13:50] <Unhammer> 	    know whats hogging all the space. Is there a way to get some sort
[13:50] <Unhammer> 	    of overview of what takes up all the space?
[13:50] <Unhammer> if you have ncdu installed:
[13:50] <Unhammer> sudo ncdu /
[13:50] <FloodBot1> Unhammer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:50] <michealPW> Grr, why does it seem I have to restart Ubuntu for updates so much lately? Esp. _this_ update, there was no kernel or anything just Gwibber and I think Apt. It's as bad as Windows.
[13:51] <Unhammer> though you probably have to "sudo apt-get install ncdu" first, which might be hard if your / is almost empty =P
[13:51] <srhb> juniour: To put it differently, if you want to read wtmp without using last, you will need to write a program that does exactly the same thing as last. Does that make sense?
[13:51] <searching> Openbox menu.xml how to insert color and background color ?
[13:53] <srhb> juniour: If you want to write that very same program, you can do man 5 wtmp for a description of the binary format for all your programming needs.
[13:54] <Unhammer> (and by empty I mean full)
[14:06] <shadow98> anyone have an idea what vino-server would crash using ultravnc and issue a ctrl-c command....this does not happen with tightvnc viewer....it does happen with realvnc however....i like the ultravnc viewer much better so would like to use it
[14:07] <wachpwnski> Is it normal for the /boot partition to be 95% full?
[14:07] <wachpwnski> I keep getting a weird error gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[14:07] <wachpwnski> E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
[14:09] <Unhammer> wachpwnski,  ubuntu keeps old linux-versions around in boot, so it will eventually get filled up if it's small
[14:09] <wachpwnski> I see that now
[14:09] <Unhammer> I don't know what the standard procedure is for how to delete them ..
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> wachpwnski  use the 3rd party ubuntu-tweak to remove the old kernels -- not in the repos, www.ubuntu-tweak.com
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> 3rd party app*
[14:11] <shady_> hi
[14:11] <shady_> need help with ncmpcpp
[14:12] <wachpwnski> I did sudo apt-get purge linux-image-<version>
[14:12] <wachpwnski> how can you tell which kernel you are using uname -a?
[14:12] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: that will also work
[14:12] <shady_> i can't set the progressbar_look with more than 2 characcter in ncmpcpp
[14:12] <shady_> can anybody help me? thanks
[14:12] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: just dont purge the active kernel-image
[14:12] <rushboy> hello can anyone please help me out with this : I'm confused about understanding the difference between manually installing a program and cloning the same program's files on github using git clone command
[14:13] <shadow98> anyone have an idea what vino-server would crash using ultravnc and issue a ctrl-c command....this does not happen with tightvnc viewer....it does happen with realvnc however....i like the ultravnc viewer much better so would like to use it
[14:13] <srhb> rushboy: Depends what you mean by "manually installing"
[14:13] <rushboy> srhb, using sudo apt-get
[14:13] <srhb> rushboy: If you mean by means of apt-get, the difference is that you get package management this way, ie. proper control of versions, deletions etc.
[14:13] <rushboy> srhb, using sudo apt-get install
[14:13] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: after that re-run 'update-grub' for good measure
[14:13] <srhb> rushboy: If you use your own from-source installation, you get to do all the management by hand.
[14:14] <srhb> rushboy: Including the fact that it is not counted as installed with respect to packages that depend on it.
[14:14] <shady_> i can't set the progressbar_look with more than 2 characcter in ncmpcpp
[14:14] <Unhammer> rushboy,  also, when git cloning, you typically get the "bleeding-edge" version, which might be quite buggy
[14:14] <rushboy> srhb, can u please tell me exactly what is 'from-source installation'
[14:14] <srhb> rushboy: So in fact, I would classify the from-source solution (ie. git, etc.) as the manual ones, and you should not prefer them unless you have very good reason.
[14:15] <srhb> rushboy: From source means that you are compiling and installing the program from its source code that you got, for example, from git. Contrast this to the binary deb packages that apt-get uses.
[14:15] <wachpwnski> are those just the images? I can technically delete them all?
[14:16] <Unhammer> shady_,  tried #mpd ?
[14:16] <wachpwnski> Or do I need to keep one?
[14:16] <srhb> wachpwnski: You need to keep the current one.
[14:16] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: leave the active image
[14:16] <Unhammer> keep one!
[14:16] <rushboy> srhb, for eg : I want to install LibreOffice Writer and I also want to edit it's source code according to my needs how do I do this ?
[14:17] <srhb> rushboy: You use the git version, or deb-src version. It's a big task though. :-)
[14:17] <wachpwnski> almoxarife:  how do I set the active kernel? Because it is not using the latest kernel
[14:17] <srhb> rushboy: The reason that I say this is that you don't usually see this confusion of binary vs. src from people who know how to modify source code, but please don't let me discourage you. :)
[14:18] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: what is not using the active image? you are using a kernel-image, right now, which is it? and dont delete it
[14:18] <rushboy> srhb, okay if I go with using the git version so is it okay if I just clone the repos on git ?
[14:19] <srhb> rushboy: Of course it's okay, you just forego the package management. Don't worry about it, your own version can coexist with the packaged version if you so desire.
[14:19] <shadow98> anyone have an idea what vino-server would crash using ultravnc and issue a ctrl-c command....this does not happen with tightvnc viewer....it does happen with realvnc however....i like the ultravnc viewer much better so would like to use it
[14:19] <nitzer> hey! i'm having trouble with my usb remobavle devices being recognized while plugged in ... any idea what could be?
[14:20] <wachpwnski> almoxarife:  http://pastebin.com/iescrY8V
[14:22] <rushboy> srhb, yes I tried to clone the repos of ClamAV on my pc but after cloning if I launch ClamAv it shows something like this :" The program 'clamscan' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:sudo apt-get install clamav " . Well if I have already cloned all the repos of clamAv why doesnt it show that I already have the program installed ?
[14:23] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: if you have/should have 'linux-image-generic' installed, that metapackage shows what the dependencies are? should be a linux-image-(some-version) and perhaps 'linux-headers-generic' , btw, pastebin the output of 'sudo update-grub'
[14:23] <srhb> rushboy: Because source code is not a program. You have to compile it and install it to a place in your PATH
[14:23] <Roberts> Hi guys. I have a problem. Just setup two boxes in my lan. Problem is, none of the ubuntu boxes sees eachother - cant ping. They can however ping gateway. There was no such problem with windows and debian boxes on the same network with same setup. Also, both boxes can access internet freely and are not wisible by other devices on network except gateway which can ping both boxes just fine.
[14:23] <wachpwnski> almoxarife:  I did line 9
[14:24] <srhb> rushboy: Have a read here, it should give you an overview: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html
[14:25] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: so you could delete the Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-32-generic , no prob
[14:25] <srhb> rushboy: The short summary is: Source code needs to be translated to your computer's language (which is called compiled). This produces a binary which is the program that you can run on your computer. Furthermore, it needs to be installed, ie. placed somewhere where your computer can find it when you type it's name without the full path, and it may also have extra files that need to go specific places.
[14:25] <wachpwnski> ok, so grub will load the latest then on next reboot?
[14:26] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: yes, and if it was just installed then you really need to reboot
[14:26] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: without deleting the last installed!
[14:26] <wolvee> Complete noob to modern IRC here.  I haven't been on a BB since 95.  Is this place the same type of thing?
[14:26] <srhb> rushboy: Note that you should only go through this (often tedious and error-prone process) if you really do need to modify the source code. Are you sure you need to?
[14:26] <srhb> wolvee: It's much more "live"
[14:26] <srhb> wolvee: Other than that, yes.
[14:27] <wolvee> Are there any good links to explain this all to me?
[14:27] <srhb> wolvee: Explain what IRC is?
[14:27] <V13Axel> !irc | wolvee
[14:27] <wolvee> How the channels work.
[14:27] <V13Axel> Oh, nevermind
[14:28] <wolvee> Thanks
[14:28] <wachpwnski> almoxarife:  so basically you keep the old kernel around so that if the new one breaks, you can boot from that one?
[14:28] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: yeap, thats the reason
[14:28] <srhb> wolvee: Channels are simply places (often with a topic) where users choose to reside. This one is about Ubuntu, for instance. IRC clients allow you to be in several channels at once, you join them via /join #channelname
[14:28] <rushboy> srhb, yes I do need to modify the code . Well it may not sound likely from the stupid questions I just asked but I do know the code well and I just need to add a patch to the already existing program :) .
[14:28] <wachpwnski> The more i use linux the more I love it. haha
[14:29] <V13Axel> wolvee, IRC is like live instant-message chat between a lot of people at once. It's like chat rooms, but the channels are more like rooms in a building, and there are lots of different buildings(servers)
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> wolvee  easiest way to learn irc, is by using it, not much to explain
[14:29] <srhb> rushboy: Alright, great, so here's the deal, you either read that guide on how to install the software manually, or you search for information on how to build deb files from deb-src packages. Both are pretty involved processes that are too long to detail in single messages over IRC.
[14:29] <wachpwnski> Also on another note. I cannot do ls in ssh without it just freezing. What might be causing that?
[14:30] <srhb> rushboy: The first method is easier, the second method allows your package manager to actually deal with the resulting program. :)
[14:30] <wolvee> I found this program Quassel IRC in the USC, is this the same this as weeChat with just a different GUI?
[14:30] <almoxarife> wachpwnski: dont get all caught up in the 'new kernel' thing, unless your machine is like brand-new bought it yesterday all the kernel updates in the world may not do much diff in the overall running of the thing
[14:30] <srhb> wachpwnski: Large directory?
[14:30] <srhb> wolvee: Yes.
[14:31] <srhb> wolvee: There are often other varying features though.
[14:31] <rushboy> srhb, well I'd too prefer to go through the first method and soon get back to you if I have some doubts even reading the piece of info that you just provided :)
[14:31] <V13Axel> wolvee, It really depends. There are lots of different IRC clients, but all of them can connect to the same servers. For example, I wrote an IRC 'bot' for a friend's moderation needs using PHP. It's a simple protocol, and there are lots of different ways to access it.
[14:31] <rushboy> srhb, and yes thanks a lot for the link :)
[14:31] <srhb> rushboy: Feel free. Good luck. :) Sorry for the inadequate description.
[14:31] <V13Axel> wolvee, personally, I use XChat on *nix-based machines, and PChat on Windows.
[14:32] <DaemonicApathy> <~ Pidgin

[14:32] <lucido> how can I get hdmi output from my Geforce 9500gt?
[14:32] <almoxarife> lucido: sound or vid?
[14:33] <newb> hello, i'm just going to say first thing first, I am a total newb when it comes to linux.  I'm connecting to a vps running ubuntu 12.04 via ssh (using putty as my client)  I have no clue how to install a program like 7zip.  I'm looking for help
[14:33] <lucido> almoxarife, video for now
[14:34] <wolvee> Sweet thanks everyone.  I'll definetly check all this out more.
[14:34] <V13Axel> newb, The command would be 'sudo apt-get install 7zip-full
[14:35] <V13Axel> wolvee, If you've ever heard of services such as Ustream or Blip.tv, the kind that have chat systems 'built-in' to their service, they've usually got an IRC backend.
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> wolvee  mind: as soon as you've chosen a irc client, someone will try to convince you to try something differnt
[14:35] <almoxarife> lucido: i will say this, when it comes to which hdmi channel, go with hdmi-3 first , seems to be the lucky one
[14:35] <V13Axel> wolvee, And when it comes to people doing what MonkeyDust said, just ignore them ;) Find what you like best and stick with it.
[14:35] <wolvee> lol, par for the course.
[14:35] <newb> it winds up telling me "Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Unable to locate package 7zip-full root@PheonixWoW:~# "
[14:36] <d4nm4n> hey guys, newb here, is there 4ny p4rticul4r re4son minecr4ft is running 4t 4 few fps? its the only re4son i still h4ve windows, to pl4y minecr4ft, which is p4thetic.
[14:36] <srhb> newb: p7zip-full
[14:36] <srhb> newb: Not 7zip-full
[14:36] <V13Axel> Ah, sorry
[14:36] <Skei> Morning. Can anyone help me set up a script to run on shutdown ? It can take up to thirty seconds to run, how much of an issue is that ?
[14:36] <almoxarife> !info 7zip
[14:36] <joey8> d4nm4n: what has happened to your "a" key
[14:36] <V13Axel> !info p7zip-full
[14:37] <d4nm4n> it got up 4nd w4lked 4w4y
[14:37] <srhb> newb: To make matters worse, the command you get after installation is called 7za, and you use "7za e filename" to extract the file "filename"
[14:38] <V13Axel> !English | d4nm4n
[14:38] <newb> i am totaly lost
[14:38] <lucido> almoxarife, what is this channel?
[14:38] <srhb> newb: Let me walk you through it then
[14:39] <newb> thanks
[14:39] <srhb> newb: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[14:39] <srhb> newb: Confirm once that is done.
[14:39] <xetius> d4nm4n, which JVM are you running
[14:39] <newb> ok, i got the error I posted above
[14:40] <srhb> newb: Even with the corrected package name?
[14:40] <newb> yes, would it help if i get a screencap?
[14:40] <d4nm4n> im not completely sure how to 4nswer, but im going to 4ssume the 4nswer is openjdk, version 6
[14:40] <almoxarife> newb: is the host running ubuntu?
[14:40] <newb> yes
[14:41] <d4nm4n> of course i 4m 4ssuming some form of f4cep4lm in response
[14:41] <srhb> newb: try "sudo apt-get update" first
[14:41] <lucido> almoxarife, what is this hdmi channel, where is it?
[14:41] <srhb> newb: That will refresh the list of packages.
[14:41] <xetius> You need to be running Suns JVM.  It runs faster
[14:41] <almoxarife> d4nm4n: is that english?
[14:41] <fantasma> Broken 'A' key?^^
[14:41] <srhb> newb: Then try sudo apt-get install p7zip-full again
[14:41] <Roberts> I have a problem. Just setup two boxes in my lan. Problem is, none of the ubuntu boxes sees eachother - cant ping. They can however ping gateway. There was no such problem with windows and debian boxes on the same network with same setup. Also, both boxes can access internet freely and are not wisible by other devices on network except gateway which can ping both boxes just fine.
[14:42] <almoxarife> lucido: it would the connector for hdmi (sound)
[14:42] <d4nm4n> of course its english, broken key, and i dont w4nt 4 repetitive stress injury from using ctrl+v over 4nd over
[14:42] <newb> IT WORKED!!
[14:42] <srhb> newb: hurrah.
[14:42] <mumrah> i'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox and I have a process called "getty" that is constantly pegging a cpu
[14:43] <mumrah> anyone seen this before?
[14:43] <newb> so the first command, was that to update the file repositories?
[14:43] <d4nm4n> xetius: th4nks, ill go try th4t
[14:43] <srhb> newb: Update the list of packages from the repositories, yes.
[14:43] <xetius> d4nm4n, there are plenty of tutorials for installing Suns JVM
[14:44] <lucido> almoxarife, I have a vga, a hdmi and a dvi output. I have a displays conencted to my dvi and vga ports and I want to connect my tv to the hdmi port but the display settings doesnt detect it
[14:44] <newb> i greatly appreciate the help, i've been googling for hours and went through a pack of smokes pulling my hair out
[14:44] <xetius> d4nm4n, also, Minecrafts page says "If you run into memory issues, try launching it with java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun's JVM."
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> mumrah  scroll down http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hllogin.html
[14:44] <xetius> d4nm4n, I refer to their last 5 words
[14:44] <srhb> newb: No worries, the whole googling for info thing gets better with help. You should have tried this in the mid-nineties ;)
[14:45] <newb> in the mid 90's i was in elementary school and my home pc was an old 486x running windows 3.1
[14:45] <srhb> newb: Ah, right. I got old without noticing.
[14:45] <almoxarife> lucido: i am assuming you connected the tv to the pc and didnt see any output, yes?
[14:45] <newb> not old, just experienced
[14:45] <srhb> newb: Anyway, are you good from here? The actual program name is (rather disingenuously) 7za and not p7zip or 7zip
[14:46] <xetius> srhb, Me too
[14:46] <lucido> almoxarife, I didnt and it isnt detected in the display settings
[14:46] <mumrah> MonkeyDust: i don't see anything about high cpu usage
[14:46] <almoxarife> lucido: i am assuming you connected the tv to the pc and didnt see any output, yes? , do connect the two, look for output
[14:47] <V13Axel> newb, I'm in your boat. I'm only 18, but I still consider myself a near-expert, as I'm a software developer in a company that provides a web service. I've been learning about computers since I was 8, so I've got a lot of knowledge under my belt. IRC helped out a lot. This channel, specifically, many times. :)
[14:47] <MonkeyDust> mumrah  it explains what it is and does, that may help
[14:47] <newb> 7za
[14:47] <srhb> newb: HA!
[14:47] <srhb> ;)
[14:47] <mumrah> MonkeyDust: ah, gotcha
[14:48] <newb> i think i'm good for now, i probably should pick up a linux or ubuntu server for dummies
[14:48] <V13Axel> newb, Nah, the best way to learn it is to work with it.
[14:48] <newb> the dummies books have helped in the past lol
[14:49] <srhb> The internet has great resources for beginners and experts alike, but I too like dead-tree versions. :-)
[14:49] <V13Axel> newb, Well, from what I hear, they're not too bad, but nothing teaches quite like digging in and getting your hands dirty, working with it. Set up a virtual machine and play around with it until you break it, try to fix it, if it doesn't work, restore ite, and try again.
[14:49] <MonkeyDust> mumrah  here's more http://askubuntu.com/questions/174710/sbin-getty-process-causing-100-cpu-utilization
[14:49] <V13Axel> s/ite/it
[14:50] <subdesign> guys any hint how to set my dev. environment from localhost/myapp to myapp.dev or same?
[14:51] <mumrah> MonkeyDust: it appears i have the same problem, strace shows the process in an infinite loop
[14:51] <xetius> subdesign as in a webapp?
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> mumrah  below on that page, a solution is suggested
[14:51] <V13Axel> subdesign, In regards to what?
[14:51] <FiggerNaggot> INSTALL GENTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[14:52] <subdesign> only change the name of the path
[14:52] <subdesign> webapp yes, php dev
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> FiggerNaggot  it works, you're in
[14:52] <xetius> add myapp.dev to your /etc/hosts with 127.0.0.1   myapp.dev
[14:52] <Toph2> V13Axel,,, i have a challenge for you,, I suddenly lose my wifi connection after my computer has been running normally for some hours. I haven't been able to tie it to any specific event, but I'm unable to reconnect. When I reboot, all is normal again,,, any suggestions?
[14:52] <subdesign> thats it?
[14:52] <subdesign> thx
[14:53] <xetius> subdesign, then configure appcontext to the root
[14:53] <srhb> newb, V13Axel: I'm actually working on a vps hosting for-profit service in which the user buys a simple VPS including step-by-step support for specific tasks, as an educational tool. I'm not sure I can make it worth my while though.
[14:53] <subdesign> appcontext?
[14:53] <V13Axel> Toph2, Sounds to me like it's an issue with your driver. Did you install a driver via Jockey?(Additional Drivers)
[14:53] <xetius> apache?
[14:53] <subdesign> yes
[14:54] <xetius> subdesign, Apache?
[14:54] <subdesign> xetius, yes
[14:54] <Lartza> How do I find if there's a package for a perl lib? Or should I use CPAN?
[14:54] <Toph2> V13Axel,,, no,,, i'm just going with the install of 12.04
[14:54] <xetius> subdesign, so your root of your server needs to point to that folder
[14:54] <V13Axel> srhb, Hmm. Something similar to Rackspace, but for educational purposes?
[14:54] <xetius> subdesign, otherwise you will have too have myapp.dev/myapp
[14:55] <subdesign> xetius, i see
[14:55] <xetius> Lartza, a specific library or in general
[14:55] <V13Axel> Toph2, Go to System Settings and find Additional Drivers. See if there's anything listed there. If there's something like Broadcom or Atheros, then click one and activate it. See if the problem persists.
[14:55] <V13Axel> Toph2, Something wrong with your comma key? No need for three each time.
[14:56] <Lartza> xetius, Ahh screw that I realised I am running some scripts that run exes... Not sure how to do all this
[14:56] <Lartza> xetius, Strawberry Perl inside wine maybe :P
[14:56] <Lartza> Or edit the script
[14:56] <Toph2> V13Axel,,, there are no propriatory drivers in use
[14:56] <srhb> V13Axel: Right, without actual power. The idea is that you buy "I want to learn to setup a webserver" etc.
[14:57] <xetius> Lartza, if you are looking for a specific library, then check CPAN
[14:57] <Lartza> xetius, Last time I used cpan I couldn't figure out how to remove the packages though :/
[14:58] <Lartza> xetius, It's around 6 libraries that I need
[14:59] <V13Axel> Toph2, Hmm. Sounds like it could be a hardware issue. Has the machine ever ran Windows? If so, did it have the same problem?
[14:59] <V13Axel> srhb, Ah, so you're buying lessons to set up a hosted environment, but you're not actually setting up a webserver?
[14:59] <xetius> Lartza, I thought you needed to install them, not uninstall them?
[15:00] <srhb> V13Axel: Both. You buy a "testing server" that is an extremely scaled down virtual environment and the lessons to come with it.
[15:00] <Toph2> V13Axel,,, i'm running 12.04 from a SSD,, I have a dual boot of the same on a HDD that doesn't create the problem
[15:00] <srhb> V13Axel: After you're done you just get a log of everything you did.
[15:00] <ricardobarbosams> hi all
[15:00] <Lartza> xetius, Yeah but I managed to do something weird last time where I ended up breaking perl :)
[15:00] <ricardobarbosams> anyone using honeyd in ubuntu?
[15:00] <newb> E: Package 'p7zip-rar' has no installation candidate ,  getting that error on trying to install the rar portion of 7za
[15:01] <newb> brb looking on my own real quick
[15:01] <srhb> newb: Does the package you have not already support it
[15:01] <xetius> Lartza, without specifics, it's difficult to help
[15:01] <sam_> Hello, I'm trying to copy a DVD using K9copy but for some reason the output is 5.6GB of size... I used to copy DVDs just fine under 4.7GB now I can't because the blank DVD only holds 4.7GB
[15:01] <MonkeyDust> !anyone | ricardobarbosams
[15:01] <srhb> newb: Otherwise, unrar will do the job
[15:01] <newb> unfortunatly it doesnt support rar files, thought it would
[15:01] <V13Axel> srhb, Sounds like an interesting system. You could also probably set something up where they pay you for hosting on Rackspace, and you could make some profit off of that.
[15:01] <srhb> V13Axel: Right. But my estimates say "not enough profit" unfortunately.
[15:02] <Lartza> xetius, I need to test cpan again soon, just was thinking if there were packages in the repos that I should maybe install and not use cpan
[15:02] <V13Axel> srhb, Well, do you have a full-time job right now?
[15:02] <dwakar> Sometimes my internet connection just goes out and I have to reboot to get the connection back. I dual boot with windows Xp but this only happens with ubuntu(12.04)
[15:02] <srhb> V13Axel: I'm a student. :)
[15:02] <MonkeyDust> dwakar  wireless?
[15:02] <xetius> Lartza, Sorry, not sure.  I used to use Windows with ActivePerl
[15:03] <V13Axel> srhb, Let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:03] <dwakar> MonkeyDust: no wired ethernet
[15:03] <xetius> Lartza, and they have their own repos
[15:03] <srhb> V13Axel: Sure.
[15:03] <sam_> does anyone know how to configure K9copy so the DVD copy output size is under 4.7GB?
[15:04] <xetius> Lartza, but occassionally I would have to install from CPAN.  Only problem I ever had was when I upgraded the SAX parser.  Everything went a bit funky for a while
[15:04] <dwakar> MonkeyDust: by the way what is MTU?
[15:04] <xetius> dwakar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit
[15:05] <MonkeyDust> dwakar  transfer unit, above 1492, ethernet becomes unstable => 1492 = 1500-2^3
[15:05] <dwakar> MonkeyDust: mine is 1500
[15:06] <rainman> Hello, we need trac 1.0 in the repositories instead of old 0.12 version.
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> dwakar  maybe this helps http://superuser.com/questions/108643/setup-mtu-automatically-after-system-reboot   <- 2010!!
[15:09] <anarchaos25> hi ppl

[15:11] <anarchaos25> i have a problem where the lappie says that its reporting an error. can anyone help?
[15:11] <tree88> hi frens i tried using virtual box to run xp so that i could run keil cross compiler but it is not supporting usb or internet or sharing between host and guest what can i do help me out plse
[15:11] <anarchaos25> and what is this bull about a terminal
[15:11] <xetius> tree88, you need to install the Virtualbox Extension Pack
[15:12] <BluesKaj> anarchaos25, more detail please , what are you doing when the internal error happens
[15:12] <xetius> tree88, and then add your user to the bvoxusr group
[15:12] <anarchaos25> well it seems to come out randomly
[15:12] <tree88> xetius plse give the link
[15:12] <xetius> tree88, vboxusr group rather
[15:13] <xetius> tree88, link to what?
[15:14] <BeefSupremeUK> exit
[15:15] <Ojoloco> Ey guys, is there any way to check what BIOS am I using within Ubuntu?
[15:15] <tree88> xetius there is no extension pack for 4.2.4 version of virtual box
[15:15] <srhb> Ojoloco: dmidecode | less
[15:15] <Ojoloco> thanks
[15:16] <xetius> tree88, you checked the Downloads link on virtualbox.org, right?
[15:16] <subdesign> xetius, i get the following error: http://pastie.org/5520708
[15:16] <tree88> yaa
[15:16] <_niCe_> hi, can someone fine a error in this: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/e70bd729/ - can i restart my network without being disconnected?
[15:17] <subdesign> xetius, ive set up hosts, and the virtualhost setting too
[15:18] <xetius> tree88, You saw the line saying "VirtualBox 4.2.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" on there?
[15:18] <anarchaos25> but more important...
[15:18] <anarchaos25> my time doesnt work since installation
[15:19] <xetius> When you set up the hosts, did you get to the right place with myapp.dev/myapp
[15:20] <subdesign> xetius, no
[15:20] <srhb> anarchaos25: Doesn't work? Can you elaborate?
[15:21] <anarchaos25> my internal clock doesnt work too well since installation bcs we unplugged it. how can u reser it
[15:21] <tree88> i searched that and got it thank u  xetius :)
[15:21] <xetius> subdesign, that should work.  If localhost/myapp works, then myapp.dev/myapp should work once you add the entry to /etc/hosts
[15:21] <xetius> tree88, YW
[15:22] <xomniverse> random question: Does anyone know a good theme that works with xfce that makes everything look like old school MacOS from way back in the day, including pixellated icons and stuff?
[15:22] <xetius> subdesign, you will need to restart your browser.  I use chrome and have do killall -9 chrome
[15:22] <MonkeyDust> !themes > xomniverse
[15:23] <xetius> subdesign, once that is working, it should just be a matter of configuring the virtualhost
[15:24] <dowdyph0> Does anyone knows how to solve the "mount: / is busy" issue when rebooting? I think it's a NetworkManager problem
[15:24] <ikonia> will always be busy
[15:24] <ikonia>  / will always be busy
[15:25] <randomness> hello world
[15:25] <randomness> good morning
[15:25] <sbuntu> I need to recover my root password. How?
[15:25] <cnz> what's the command to see how much disk space a certain dirctory is taking up
[15:25] <randomness> sbuntu: with a live cd
[15:25] <ikonia> sbuntu: ubuntu doesn't set a root password
[15:26] <ikonia> sbuntu: so there is no root password, the account is locked,
[15:26] <randomness> sbuntu: chroot into your linux install and run the passwd command
[15:26] <ikonia> sbuntu: don't do that - there is no root password
[15:26] <ikonia> so that's why you don't have it
[15:26] <randomness> sbuntu: ubuntu uses sudo
[15:26] <cnz> anyone
[15:26] <cnz> know
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> cnz  du -sh [folder]
[15:27] <cnz> MonkeyDust thanks bud
[15:27] <sbuntu> Don't fight
[15:31] <tree88> xetius hey i installed it so how can i add to vbox user group
[15:31] <tree88> "VirtualBox 4.2.4 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
[15:31] <tree88> xetius hey i installed it so how can i add to vbox user group
[15:32] <tree88> xetius hey i installed it so how can i add to vbox user group
[15:32] <xetius> tree88, if you ask another 7 times, it will make me answer faster
[15:33] <metaphysician> how can I set-up the `talk` program to chat locally?
[15:33] <metaphysician> ^ 12.04
[15:33] <tree88> xetius hey i installed it so how can i add to vbox user group
[15:33] <tree88> :P
[15:33] <xetius> tree88, sudo usermod -aG vboxusers <your username>
[15:33] <fantasma> -aG? Why the a?^^
[15:34] <srhb> "add"
[15:34] <fantasma> Ah nice
[15:34] <srhb> Actually, append, but same difference.
[15:34] <xetius> what srhb said
[15:34] <tree88> ok i guessed it worked
[15:34] <srhb> fantasma: ie. usermod -G foo user -- will cause user to be ONLY member of foo group, all other memberships deleted.
[15:34] <metaphysician> i've installed the `talk', 'talkd', 'openbsd-inetd' on precise.
[15:35] <srhb> (I've been bitted by that so many times.. ._.)
[15:35] <srhb> bitten*
[15:35] <xetius> tree88, cat /etc/group | grep vbox
[15:35] <srhb> bit*?
[15:36] <shikata_ga_nai> Do you guys  know of a microsoft encarta like application for ubuntu?
[15:36] <xetius> tree88, you should see something like vboxusers:x:125:tree88
[15:36] <michealPW> shikata_ga_nai: http://en.wikipedia.org/
[15:36] <tree88> yea i did :)
[15:36] <tree88> whats next
[15:36] <compdoc> been so many years since Ive even heard the name MS encarta, i dont remember what is was
[15:37] <michealPW> shikata_ga_nai: Desktop-centric encyclopedias have kinda fallen to the wayside ever since the explosion of Wikipedia. Encarta went online, have MS abandoned that project?
[15:37] <xetius> tree88, log out and back in to refresh your rights (I don't know of a quick way to do this) then your USB should work
[15:37] <fantasma> Srhb: i use to do it as follows: usermod -G foo, foo2, foo29 user (works too)
[15:37] <wdp_> llutz, just in case that's interesting for you, using that bonding (mode 0) scp just does 50 mb/s. I used netcat then, doing something between 100-200 mb/s.
[15:37] <fantasma> But the aG is kind of a better option ^^
[15:37] <tree88> ok buddy btw thank u ;)
[15:38] <xetius> tree88, YW
[15:38] <wdp_> llutz, i.e. cat somehugefile.bla | pv -b | nc -l 3333 on the server and nc some.ip.add.ress 3333 | pv -b > thatfile.bla on the client :D looks a bit ancient but works fine.
[15:40] <subdesign> xetius, what if I have same 403 error on myapp.dev/myapp ?
[15:41] <subdesign> do i need a different file for vhost or putting all in one is okay?
[15:41] <shikata_ga_nai> michealPW, wikipedia is of course a way better alternative, but i still would love to use desktop-centric encyclopedias for offline usage.
[15:41] <fantasma> Now, I have encountered a little issue. If I want to switch to an terminal (CTRL + ALT +F1...) I get a red screen. Is it possible that the quiet no-splash causes this?
[15:41] <michealPW> Yea, iunno. Sorry. You could probably run MS Encarta via WINE if you already have it, by the way?
[15:42] <ironhalik> ikonia: About the feature we were talking about - I also tried to make grub show after hibernation and I think it won't show when an another bootable partition was mounted during hibernation
[15:42] <xetius> subdesign, All in one is fine, 403 is forbidden, Probably means your vhost is not configured correctly
[15:43] <subdesign> xetius, sites-available or sites-enabled ? :)
[15:43] <ikonia> ironhalik: seems reasonable behaviour
[15:43] <xetius> subdesign, eh?
[15:44] <ironhalik> ikonia: yeah
[15:44] <marcin__> Guys i want to install ubuntu on my laptop, what version should I choose, 64 or 32 bits ?
[15:44] <Daghdha> Hi. I have a directory ~/.VirtualBox  and i moved all it's content to /mnt/disk2/VirtualBox and i now want to link so it looks like all the vritualbox files are actually in ~/.VirtualBox  ... is this possible with a soft link? And if so hoe?
[15:44] <zlacker> marcin__ what's the arch of you laptop?
[15:44] <marcin__> i have of course 64 bits proccessor
[15:44] <zlacker> if you know it, then you hould know what to install
[15:45] <marcin__> but i heard there are some problems with packages for 64 bit software
[15:45] <xetius> marchin__, think you just answered your own question
[15:45] <xetius> marcin__, i'm using 64bit fine
[15:46] <xetius> marcin__, on 12.04 and 12.10
[15:46] <zlacker> marcin__ well, will this laptop be a production one? could it crash sometime?
[15:46] <marcin__> last time i was using ubuntu 2 years ago and i dont know maybe something changes
[15:46] <ironhalik> marcin__: Couple of years ago, 64bit had some issues. But currently there are no problems that I know of.
[15:47] <ironhalik> marcin__: and you can always install ia32-libs, for software that needs it
[15:47] <mindstorm_> hi @ all
[15:47] <Daghdha> bvm i think i did it
[15:47] <marcin__> thanks :)
[15:48] <mindstorm_> can anybody tell me how i can set an animated desktop wallpaper
[15:48] <ironhalik> marcin__: as a side note, canonical considered making 64bit installation the recommended one for 12.10
[15:48] <escott> mindstorm_, you run the program on the root window. check the man pages for the program
[15:50] <cote> http://www.carolinaherrera.com/212/es/areyouonthelist?share=HBwr80bR-2foKDsmH9finK07NzCqnVrcUjgmo98XySnkz4rz3EUUdzs6j6FXsjB4447F-isvxjqkXd4Qey2GHw#episodio-5
[15:50] <marcin__> ironhalik: excellent, im currently fetching 64 bit verison of 12.10
[15:51] <marcin__> I need it for start developing small project in RoR
[15:52] <marcin__> this is a great enviroment for thiss stuff i think
[15:52] <xetius> marcin__, I use it to develop Java web apps
[15:54] <marcin__> Im working in company where our manager is Java developer but he chose .NET for next large project
[15:54] <marcin__> ;]
[15:54] <xetius> marcin__, WTF?
[15:56] <marcin__> xetius: I just only said that our manager change the technology which is very strange for me
[15:56] <ikonia> xetius: what's uncalled for
[15:57] <xetius> ikonia, responding to marcin__.  Seems completely illogical for a Java dev to just switch to .Net
[15:58] <ikonia> xetius: not but your language is needed.
[15:58] <michealPW> :s/what's/that's
[15:58] <michealPW> No? :P

[16:05] <lucido> somsip, that onlsy tells me about the gpu, nothing about the output capabilities
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> lucido  try sudo lshw -C video
[16:06] <freakynl> Hi, can I make aptitude use a socks proxy? More specificaly, the one ssh -D provides?
[16:06] <somsip> lucido: so you didn't want to know what card you had, you wanted to know it's capabilities ;-)
[16:06] <berndt> Hey guys, I have just started experimenting with turning my desktop computer into a server. I want to host a webserver for myself so that I can display webpages. I wonder what server software I should use. lighttpd seems like a good one but maybe there is some other software better suited for personal webpages?
[16:07] <lucido> somsip, I want to know what card I have but that only tells me it has a G96 GPU nothing about the rest of the card
[16:07] <zlacker> berndt why not learning some about apache?
[16:07] <xetius> berndt, Anything against Apache?
[16:07] <MonkeyDust> berndt  there's also #ubuntu-server
[16:07] <somsip> berndt: for what you need, I'd recommend the best supported and/or simplest. Apache seems to be a standard
[16:08] <berndt> I did try installing apache, but it all seemed so complex for just my personal usage
[16:08] <zlacker> berndt as you will be doing your experiments, do it on Apache, ait least you'll learn something that later might be used on a professional context
[16:09] <kishimi8I> hello pls whats up with the servers or files .,. i keep trying to download the os iso,. and i get stuck at 99.98%
[16:09] <berndt> Also, I accidentally messed up my network settings and I couldn't use a static IP anymore (forcing me to reinstall my whole system)
[16:09] <cnz> wht permissions do I need to give to my mounted hard drives to give all users on my network full access read/write/delete
[16:09] <cnz> 755?
[16:09] <berndt> but I will head over to ubuntu-server instead. Thanks
[16:09] <TakeItEZ> berndt: there were nginx, cherokee too, but whatever you use, you'll have to learn
[16:09] <x[i]b> good morning, is there an app to help me find the fastest ubuntu mirror? the one i'm connecting to by default is slow as a snail
[16:10] <x[i]b> took me 60+ minutes to grab 900MB software
[16:10] <zlacker> x[i]b have you tried torrent?
[16:10] <x[i]b> needed software via apt-get
[16:10] <kishimi8I> first i thought it was my connection  then i restarted the download but i still got stuck at 99.98
[16:10] <x[i]b> zlacker, if i were to run a mirror would ubuntu's team manage it>?
[16:11] <zlacker> x[i]b sorry btw, I sent the msg wrongly
[16:11] <kishimi8I> then i tried downloading kubuntu and like hell it still got stuck at 99,98%
[16:11] <zlacker> kishimi8I did you try torrent?
[16:11] <x[i]b> i've been thinking about maybe trying to host a mirror in my data center
[16:11] <x[i]b> since our connectivity to ubuntu's mirrors are slow as ice
[16:11] <kishimi8I> hello pls whats up with the servers or files .,. i keep trying to download the os iso,. and i get stuck at 99.98%
[16:11] <kishimi8I> first i thought it was my connection  then i restarted the download but i still got stuck at 99.98
[16:12] <Gara> ada yang tahu bedanya tor browser dengan tor vidalia?
[16:12] <lig> I am trying to use vim and get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1429947/  I have tried updating my repositories with no luck. What am I doing wrong
[16:13] <RickZilla> kishimi8l: Try using a torrent?
[16:13] <kishimi8I> then i tried the torrent and i have been stuck at 99.98%
[16:13] <xetius> lig, try vi, or install with sudo apt-get install vim
[16:13] <Chaos7Theory> Generally in the psat I've installed WINE through the website itself, but I'm curious if it's more recommended to use the meta-package provided on Ubuntu
[16:13] <zlacker> kishimi8I well, then there's a local problem
[16:14] <zlacker> kishimi8I do you have enough hard disk space?
[16:14] <lig> xetius, I tried the sudo apt-get install and it still didn't work. See paste
[16:15] <xetius> lig, did you try vim-gnome, if you're using gnome
[16:15] <RickZilla> Chaos7Theory: Do you mean you installed the .deb file from the website? That would be more up to date than the repo version, but both should work
[16:15] <lig> xetius, I was working with it from the command line rather then a GUI
[16:15] <kishimi8I> local ,.,.,. pls explain,.,., as i got tired waiting for the torrent so i tried one of em proxy stuff to preache the file so i can dowload it through them instead and lo and behold the same problem
[16:15] <kishimi8I> yup i do
[16:15] <Chaos7Theory> Rickzilla: Alright
[16:15] <kishimi8I> enough space ..,, i have like 30gig
[16:16] <RickZilla> kishimi8l: The torrent is fairly robust, so there shouldn't be any problems there
[16:16] <lig> gnome
[16:16] <kishimi8I> so i should have a go at it for the fifth time????????????\
[16:16] <lig> xetius, get the same thing when trying to install vim-gnome
[16:17] <RickZilla> Try clearing out the old file, then restarting...you never know
[16:17] <xetius> kishimi8I, I have just downloaded 12.10 64bit
[16:17] <zlacker> kishimi8I well, I am basically telling the same as Rick, if you are failing even when using the torrent client, then there must be a local issue on your connection
[16:17] <xetius> works fine.  If there is a problem, it seems like it's on your end
[16:17] <kishimi8I> so i should have a go at it for the fifth time????????????\
[16:18] <zlacker> kishimi8I you can try perhaps using some download manager which allow you to add multiple mirrors
[16:18] <lucido> nvidia-settings doesnt detect my tv via hdmi
[16:18] <zlacker> maybe that will help on the download failing
[16:18] <RickZilla> kishimi8l: If you don't change anything, you'll likely have the same results...remove the old downloaded files, restart and try it again
[16:18] <kishimi8I> can you suggest one pls .. i need this iso badly to fix a broken system
[16:18] <Skei> Morning. Can anyone help me set up a script to run on shutdown ? It can take up to thirty seconds to run, how much of an issue is that ?
[16:18] <zlacker> kishimi8I also, clear browser cache
[16:19] <xetius> lig, sorry, i'm not sure then.  have you done a sudo apt-get update?
[16:19] <xetius> lig, Maybe you have a broken sources.list or something
[16:19] <xetius> lig, Which version of Ubuntu are you running
[16:19] <zlacker> kishimi8I I dont know, falshgot maybe... its a firefox addon
[16:20] <kishimi8I> hmmm will do all that and post the outcome.,., if it fails my laptops ghost i gonna haunt y'll
[16:20] <xetius> kishimi8I, can you try another browser?
[16:21] <kishimi8I> i tried  downloading via windows through IDM
[16:21] <kishimi8I> and you  guys gotta believe me i got stuck at the same value
[16:22] <lig> xetius, really old - 9.10.  OK - first thing to do then would be upgrade that.  Thanks
[16:22] <kishimi8I> maybe its the server im dowloading from that has this problem
[16:22] <zlacker> kishimi8I so you know what do right? try another server
[16:23] <zlacker> try getting it from a server close to where you are

[16:28] <RickZilla> kishimi8l: Use a torrent, apparently something is corrupt on the ubuntu server directly.
[16:29] <fosser_josh1> how can i open .prr file in ubuntu?

[16:40] <BabySuperman> tyvm!
[16:45] <EagleScreen> hi, which package/aaplication is reponsible for detecting Additional Drivers for a device in Ubuntu 12.10? I mean restricted drivers
[16:47] <rypervenche> EagleScreen: Jockey
[16:47] <EagleScreen> is jockey still used in 12.10?
[16:47] <rypervenche> EagleScreen: jockey-gtk maybe
[16:48] <bazhang> EagleScreen, system settings, software sources additional drivers tab
[16:48] <EagleScreen> so, software-properties is the key.. I think
[16:50] <bazhang> EagleScreen, the addtional drivers tab is for graphics, the first tab has the setting for devices such as wifi
[16:51] <EagleScreen> Additional Drivers also handles restricted drivers for wifi
[16:52] <Enkki> hello everybody
[16:53] <Enkki> do someone know how to generate a rsa certificate without passphrase (following these instructions doesn't work: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html#creating-a-self-signed-certificate)
[16:53] <Enkki> it always asks for a passphrase
[16:54] <EagleScreen> is there any database ised by software-properties to know whuch driver are for which devices?
[16:55] <OerHeks> Enkki, it is not possible without, store the passphrase & keys safe in case of troubles.
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> Enkki  is this useful http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Use-RSA-Key-for-SSH-Authentication-38599.shtml
[16:58] <BluesKaj> EagleScreen, you can run lspci to find the devices first , then lsmod to find the drivers on your system
[16:58] <Sach> using ubuntu 12.04. Why can't I see the close, maximize and minimize buttons at the top corner of each window?
[16:58]  * OerHeks wouldn't recommand hitting enter to go without passphrase
[16:59] <OerHeks> Sach, those buttons appear at the top panel, it is called global-menu ( to save screenspace)
[16:59] <RickZilla> Sach: Look in your window preferences somewhere, I remember seeing that in there at one point.
[16:59] <RickZilla> Sach: You can change that behavior if you don't like it
[16:59] <EagleScreen> BluesKaj: software-properties (and time ago, jockey) are detecting the device wrong
[16:59] <Enkki> OerHeks, but in ubuntu official doc it says to create one without key ( https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html#generating-a-csr ) And I cant as empty password is not accepted
[17:00] <Sach> rickzilla: window preferences? how do I access that?
[17:00] <RickZilla> It's in your preferences section...not on an ubuntu machine right now so I don't know the exact path
[17:00] <SierraAR> How would I remove or disable a repository that seems to have died?
[17:01] <OerHeks> Enkki, so that url from MonkeyDust is invalid, as i thought it couldn't be done without passphrase
[17:01] <BluesKaj> EagleScreen, which device
[17:02] <RickZilla> SierraAR: You can uncheck it in software sources, that will at least prevent it from looking there
[17:02] <EagleScreen> jockey thinks that my wifi is not working, but it is rally working well, jockey suggests me to install a restricted driver as the only way to can have the device working, but if I install that restricted driver, the device does not works anymore. Therefore jockey is erroneus.
[17:03] <Enkki> OerHeks, indeed, but in the offical doc it says to do "openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure" to get the key without passphrase and in my case this cmd again asks for a pass and it cannot be left empty
[17:03] <SierraAR> RickZilla: Thanks. Apt-get update and the update manager have been whining at me :(
[17:04] <BluesKaj> EagleScreen, file a bug perhaps
[17:04] <EagleScreen> a bug regarding software-properties-common?
[17:05] <BluesKaj> EagleScreen, jockey
[17:05] <EagleScreen> but jockey is not curently being used in 12.10
[17:05] <EagleScreen> I think it was merged into software-properties-common
[17:06] <BluesKaj> erroneous wifi hardware detection
[17:07] <OerHeks> Enkki that wiki shows howto make a key-without-passphrase after making one with passphrase > see the part " openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure  "
[17:08] <xray> hello world! :)
[17:09] <Enkki> OerHeks, yes i did the one with a passphrase but then I have a problem creating to one without: when I execute the cmd from the wiki "openssl rsa -in server.key -out server.key.insecure" it again asks for a passphrase. It shouldn't or I don't understand something ?
[17:10] <Kafan> I have installed ubuntu after Win7 and would like to dual boot, hoever I am not prompted by grub to select an operating system, and I do not see any evidence that windows was properly detected.  Where can I look for instructions for (re)configuring this?
[17:10] <OerHeks> Enkki i think you need to enter the passphrase on last time, to unlock the key for making it passphrase-less
[17:11] <winux> is there a way to check which packages beside the base packages for ubuntu have been installed?
[17:11] <bazhang> !grub2 | Kafan
[17:11] <Kafan> noted, ty
[17:11] <bazhang> winux, dpkg -l
[17:11] <Kafan> I like the bot syntax :)
[17:12] <Enkki> OerHeks hey thanks a lot it works :)
[17:12] <OerHeks> Enkki have fun
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> !yay | Enkki
[17:12] <BabySuperman> Using upstart, is there anyway to run 4 instances of a program I want to run with specific command line options -- then if one fails it reloads it... hrmm
[17:12] <winux> bazhang: doesnt that list every single package?
[17:13] <van7hu> hi everyone
[17:13] <van7hu> please, help me install JCE for openjdk-7-jdk, in ubuntu 12.04
[17:13] <n3ffa> hi
[17:13] <bazhang> winux, are you starting from the mini iso?
[17:13] <winux> bazhang: no i upgraded to 12.10
[17:13] <BluesKaj> Kafan, when booting hold the left shift key down right after the bios screen and the grub menu should appear
[17:14] <heoyea_> van7hu: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
[17:14] <winux> bazhang: but i want to see all packages except for the base installed ones (3rd party)
[17:14] <bazhang> winux, and you want a list of packages that are new, ones that are no longer supported and thus removed, etc.?
[17:14] <freakynl> Hi, can I make aptitude use a socks proxy? More specificaly, the one ssh -D provides?
[17:14] <winux> bazhang: I want to list all packages not installed by ubuntu itself
[17:14] <van7hu> heoyea_, not, want to install Java Cryptographic Extension with it
[17:15] <bazhang> winux, how were they installed
[17:15] <van7hu> heoyea_, JCE
[17:15] <winux> bazhang: apt-get
[17:15] <BluesKaj> Kafan, once booted into ubuntu , run sudo -update-grub in the terminal , your windows OS should be listed
[17:15] <heoyea_> van7hu: whats jce
[17:15] <bazhang> winux, you just said "not installed by ubuntu" followed by "apt-get"
[17:16] <van7hu> heoyea_, Java Cryptographic Extension
[17:16] <BluesKaj> Kafan, sudo update-grub , rather
[17:16] <winux> bazhang: ok, not installed by the initial ubuntu install
[17:16] <xray> make alias :)
[17:16] <winux> bazhang: i guess it would have to go by timestamp or something
[17:16] <bazhang> winux, PPA and 3rd party repos are disabled
[17:17] <winux> bazhang: there are also libs/apps installed from source
[17:20] <heoyea_> van7hu: dont think they got that in the repos check there website for info
[17:21] <van7hu> I know
[17:25] <wagtag> In terminal how can I make output look like http://cl.ly/LYsL instead of http://cl.ly/La5Q? Why are the lines drawn as qqqqq?

[18:00] <NCS_One> I'm on ubuntu 12.04. Is there some way of disabling the efect when switching desktops? I have shortcut keys to do it and some times my ubuntu starts breaking or freezes
[18:00] <BabySuperman> Using upstart, is there anyway to run 4 instances of a program I want to run with specific command line options -- then if one fails it reloads it... hrmm
[18:00] <srhb> Miebster: Oh actually, come to think of it I'm not entirely sure it can traverse the directories, which makes it useless for you. Hmm.
[18:00] <Tweikable> theses are the folders that are in there
[18:01] <Tweikable> hed-audio

[18:50] <craigbass1976> I've got /share that's set to 777.  Anyone writing to it from a windows box creates files and directories with 777.  If I create a file locally though, craig:craig owns it and the permissions are 755.  In order to stop that, I mount up /share as cifs in fstab.  It won't mount at boot though; I've got to do a mount -a, and I'.  How do I get it mounting
[18:51] <craigbass1976> Oops -- fat finger... I'm guessing that fstab firest up before samba.
[18:52] <bekks> craigbass1976: Correct.
[18:52] <craigbass1976> bekks, how do I get it to mount without the extra manual step?
[18:52] <Tweikable> ideal one
[18:52] <jbwiv> hi guys. Is there a way to snapshot a system from an apt perspective, so that you can rollback to that snapshot later? say I have a project and I want to experiment with a number of different tools, but when complete easily restore the system to the way it was before?
[18:52] <Tweikable> i love you
[18:52] <Tweikable> it worked man, thank you so much for you help and time
[18:53] <IdleOne> Tweikable: very welcome
[18:53] <Tweikable> you are a god amungst kedyboards
[18:53] <bazhang> jbwiv, system image?
[18:53] <Tweikable> keyboards
[18:53] <bekks> craigbass1976: Thats impossible using the fstab. You have add the mount command in the /etc/rc.local using the full path to the mount command.
[18:53] <Tweikable> now it should work by me just click on the file right
[18:53] <Tweikable> i should havnt to use concel
[18:53] <IdleOne> Tweikable: now run " ./HackerEvolutionDuality-32bit " without the quotes
[18:54] <jbwiv> bazhang, that would probably work...is it possible?
[18:54] <bazhang> jbwiv, sure is, there's a tool called disks that has that option in it
[18:54] <DJones> IdleOne: You should write a blog page and submit it to ongubuntu, I'm sure they'd publish it
[18:54] <craigbass1976> bekks, mount -a, or mount -t blahblahblah ?  I've got another user (craig2) that mounts up the same share.  I get prompted for a password when I run sudo mount -a for some reason, for sudo, then for each of the users mounting up the share
[18:55] <IdleOne> DJones: heh
[18:55] <Tweikable> xit
[18:55] <Tweikable> ity worked
[18:55] <IdleOne> Tweikable: is the game running?
[18:55] <jbwiv> bazhang, ok, I'll take a look. thanks

[18:55] <DrGrov> Can I simultaneously have XFCE and Unity installed from the official repositories of 12.04? I wondered if something would brake, dependencies or such.
[18:55] <Tweikable> i just pushed exit
[18:55] <IdleOne> Tweikable: I'm very happy. have fun.
[18:55] <Tweikable> thank you
[18:56] <Tweikable> its like a realy christamss
[18:56] <bazhang> DrGrov, sure. you can install all of them. I have Four currently
[18:56] <Tweikable> your personal nick for the day is Santa
[18:56] <Tweikable> lol
[18:56] <Tweikable> jk., by ubuntu communtiy keep of the great advice and staff
[18:56] <Tweikable> up*
[18:57] <DrGrov> bazhang: Okay good :) I just thought to ask since I had some issues on 10.04 with Gnome and KDE running besides each other.
[18:57] <giglopr> gentoo is bullshit!
[18:57] <bazhang> DrGrov, the xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop package and so on will do that for you
[18:57] <bekks> craigbass1976: Basically it doesnt matter which mount option you are using, but you should use /bin/mount and it is expected that sudo asks you for your password.
[18:58] <DrGrov> bazhang: Will be nice to see how XFCE is running these days. Been 4-5 years since I last had XFCE in active day-to-day use LOL
[18:58] <rushboy> Hello Can anyone please let me know the method by which I can see the changes I make to the source code of any application  ?
[18:58] <Bassoopioka> Hi! Problem needs solving. I installed wine and steam. I open a chat window from friends list. But when i try to type nothing happens.  Keyboard works fine as you can see.
[18:58] <Pici> rushboy: the changes *you* make?
[18:59] <bazhang> Bassoopioka, #winehq for help with particular apps
[18:59] <rushboy> I have cloned a certain repo and want to edit the source code
[18:59] <craigbass1976> bekks, but I also get asked for the two users mounting up the directory.
[18:59] <DrGrov> Thanks bazhang
[18:59] <DrGrov> Bbl
[18:59] <rushboy> Pici, I have cloned a certain repo and want to edit the source code
[18:59] <rumpe1> rushboy, try "diff"
[19:00] <Bassoopioka> thx i try there ^^
[19:00] <DrGrov> bazhang: Gotta ask still one question. I should pick xubuntu or lubuntu or just xfce- package/packages?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: installing xfce4 will give the bare minimum xfce desktop
[19:01] <bazhang> DrGrov, for xubuntu , it would be xubuntu-desktop ; for kde4 it would be kubuntu-desktop ; for lxde/openbox lubuntu-desktop and so on
[19:01] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Yes, that I am aware of. I mean that I should be picking packages starting with xfce- instead of xubuntu/lubuntu packages? Or is there any difference?
[19:02] <DrGrov> bazhang: Okay, I pick the default xfce style of packages, ex. xfce-orage etc.
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: if you already have gnome apps installed, you can run them in XFCE without issue
[19:02] <bazhang> DrGrov, those are metapackages and will install the default browsers, file managers, etc for each desktop
[19:02] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: Yes, I have only GNOME apps installed. Nothing with KDE installed. Just need a good burning app, k3b should be fine without breaking evne though it installs kde libs?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> DrGrov: I use xfburn here :)
[19:03] <ickefes> hi guys. have you ever experienced that if you lightly touch your ram stick then your computer hangs?
[19:03] <bazhang> DrGrov, sure. many gnome users have amarok k3b or the like
[19:03] <DrGrov> bazhang: Okay, I see. ActionParsnip Ah, there is xfburn for gnome :) Good to know, not need to get messy fingers with kde libs then :)
[19:03] <bazhang> ickefes, try ##hardware
[19:04] <ickefes> bazhang: ok thanks
[19:04] <DrGrov> ActionParsnip: bazhang forget me. I am too tired. :) I just go and pick packages with the beginning xfce-

[19:13] <marianne> looking for hardware recommendations video card and sound cards for 12.04... any opinions out there?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> marianne: onboard sound is usually good enough
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> marianne: a mid range nvidia will be groovy :)
[19:17] <OerHeks> !hardware
[19:17] <OerHeks> ActionParsnip +1  Nvidia would be my choice too
[19:18] <marianne> ActionParsnip: kinda want 5.1 surround sound and just found an awesome vid card (Nvidia chipset)
[19:18] <hilo> If I create a hard link, how do I delete the hard link and not the file it points to (so as to just remove the link)
[19:18] <MonkeyDust> why nvidia? most graphics problems are with nvidia (i have intel)
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> marianne: most onboards do 5.1 sound...
[19:19] <marianne> MonkeyDust: I just load the drivers and have never had issues with it
[19:19] <Kafan> I just deleted windows, more hassle than its worth at the moment.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: as long as its not Optimus, you are laughing
[19:19] <Pici> hilo: you just delete the link.
[19:19] <blami_> ActionParsnip: +1
[19:20] <marianne> ActionParsnip: not mine... only one input
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> fair enough
[19:21] <ntg> nvidia optimus, might s'well f*** yourslf :(
[19:21] <ntg> i got it working after some troubleshooting tho
[19:22] <marianne> ntg: maybe I just get lucky with the nvidia stuff... never had issues
[19:23] <ntg> marianne: we're talking about nvidia optimus, hybrid graphics.
[19:24] <marianne> ntg: ok, I'll admit it... color me clueless
[19:25] <ntg> basically, if you have a laptop with a integrated GPU plus a dedicated GPU... ubuntu no like. :)
[19:28] <marianne> ntg: yeah I can see where that would get squirrelly in a hurry
[19:30] <marianne> ok guys... how about blu-ray support?
[19:30] <ntg> a little bit of a hassle
[19:30] <marianne> ntg: drivers?
[19:31] <ntg> i dont think drivers are the problem
[19:31] <ntg> bluray movie discs are encrypted
[19:32] <ntg> so you need to set up for example vlc with the keys etc etc
[19:32] <marianne> ntg: lame but I don't rip any more... just wanna watch
[19:33] <wtfdoido> hello there
[19:33] <wtfdoido> I do understand that it's somewhat offtopic
[19:33] <ntg> marianne: well it should work
[19:33] <wtfdoido> anyways
[19:33] <wtfdoido> my granny went nuts about a month ago
[19:34] <DJones> !ot | wtfdoido
[19:34] <wtfdoido> so she's about to let the $250k appartment to her social worker
[19:34] <marianne> ntg: it's really an upgrade project... video, then sound, then blu-ray
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> wtfdoido  wrong channel
[19:34] <wtfdoido> I basically have two options
[19:34] <DJones> wtfdoido: This is a support channel only
[19:34] <wtfdoido> would you kindly suggest another one?
[19:35] <DJones> wtfdoido: See the link you've just been given
[19:35] <marianne> ntg: but I would love it all to work without too much hassle
[19:36] <Suicidal> When i replug /dev/ttyUSB0 file owner and file mode getting resetted
[19:36] <wtfdoido> DJones I only see #ubuntu actually
[19:36] <wtfdoido> cat /procinfo and all that stuff
[19:36] <wtfdoido> used to be a unix admin back in the 90's
[19:36] <wtfdoido> so where do I go for the morals?
[19:36] <DJones> !ot | wtfdoido
[19:36] <wtfdoido> or practics
[19:37] <MonkeyDust> wtfdoido  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:37] <DJones> wtfdoido:  #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use
[19:37] <DJones>                 #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[19:37] <ntg> marianne: if you would love things to work without too much hassle you chose the wrong OS :D
[19:37] <wtfdoido> ubuntu-offtopic thati s
[19:37] <octeris> Hi all! I currently have a computer running Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 and I was wondering if it was possible to set up networking using a static IP with DHCP as a fallback through the /etc/network/interfaces file?
[19:37] <wtfdoido> thanks a bunch
[19:38] <Suicidal> should i enter #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of problem?
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> octeris  there's also #ubuntu-server
[19:38] <wtfdoido> [23:38] #ubuntu-offtopic unable to join channel (address is banned)
[19:38] <Suicidal> When i replug /dev/ttyUSB0 file owner and file mode getting resetted
[19:38] <wtfdoido> Huston, we do have a problem
[19:38] <Pici> #ubuntu-offtopic is not a support channel :)
[19:38] <octeris> MonkeyDust: wouldn't the procedure apply to Ubuntu desktop as well?
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> wtfdoido  of course you were banned for no reason
[19:38] <marianne> ntg: say it isn't so! but then again, what else do i have to do with my time.
[19:38] <wtfdoido> MonkeyDust you freaking knew!
[19:39] <Suicidal> anyone up to help?
[19:39] <wtfdoido> anyway, I do need advice
[19:39] <Sach> using a gnome shell in ubuntu 12.10. how do i get my close, maximize and minimize buttons back? they've disappeared.
[19:39] <ntg> marianne: if you like problems you should try Vista
[19:39] <wtfdoido> with my gramma. either keep her or keep some $250k
[19:40] <ntg> heh
[19:40] <mysterious> hi, is there an instruction on how to report kernel errors to ubuntu launchpad correctly? (My laptop is freezing when using brightness control)
[19:40] <marianne> ntg: ummm no... I'll pass on that charlie foxtrot
[19:40] <ntg> hah
[19:42] <Heath-Home> Hey, my ssh connection to my server keeps disconnecting after being idle too long, how do I fix this?
[19:42] <hilo> is there an easy way to create hard links for all files which have specific extensions under a certain directory? I am trying to create a directory which contains all my movies. Currently the files are organized by genre in directories. I can't just move them because it's my girlfriends, and she likes it that way...
[19:42] <Heath-Home> Doesn't seem to be an option in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[19:42] <marianne> starting to wonder if I should just build a new box...
[19:42] <octeris> hilo: Wouldn't you want to use soft links for this?
[19:43] <a111> Im using ubuntu 12.04 and I keep hearing a clicking sound from my speakers
[19:43] <hilo> octeris, I looked into the difference and I don't see why one is better than the other. It seemed to me that hard links are better since the link is treated just like the original file and not as a link
[19:44] <hilo> octeris, and i am creating the links in the same file system
[19:44] <bekks> Heath-Home: You are looking in the wrong file. It is a setting in sshd_config called TCPKeepAlive
[19:44] <octeris> hilo: the main reason is that you can move/remove/rename soft links without affecting the original file
[19:45] <octeris> hilo: so you could soft link all your movies in an organization to your liking without affecting your girlfriend's organization of the same files
[19:45] <Suicidal> When i replug /dev/ttyUSB0 file owner and file mode getting resetted. Anyone can help?
[19:45] <Heath-Home> where is sshd_Config?
[19:45] <hilo> octeris, I was under the impression that I could move/remove/rename hard links as well
[19:45] <octeris> hilo: you can but they will affect the original file
[19:45] <octeris> hilo: "hard" link ;)
[19:46] <hilo> octeris, since these are all movies, I won't really be doing any changes, I just need them to be presented in a different directory structure.
[19:46] <Pici> octeris: renaming a hard link doesn't break the origininal file's name.
[19:46] <Inoki> Anybody having the same problem installing Unity on Ubuntu Studio?
[19:47] <octeris> Pici: hmm maybe I am misunderstanding the difference between a hard and soft link then
[19:47] <hilo> octeris, the only reason I shy away from the soft link is because I used a soft link to do this for a file on my FTP and the soft link was served up as a 0 byte shortcut file instead of the file
[19:47] <octeris> hilo: to answer your original question you'll probably want to write a script or use a find-exec to run the ln command on the right target files
[19:48] <Pici> octeris, hilo: the difference between a hard link and a soft/symbolic link is that if you create a hardlink to a file and then delete the original file, the file itself will still exist on the drive because there is still a link pointing to it.
[19:48] <Pici> octeris, hilo: If you delete the target of a softlink, the softlink now is invalid.
[19:48] <bekks> Heath-Home: In /etc/ssh/ - like ssh_config
[19:49] <octeris> Pici: ah, got it. thanks for the clarification. :)
[19:49] <Heath-Home> I got it, thanks
[19:50] <Inoki> Anybody who can help a bit?
[19:50] <bekks> Inoki: Only after asking an ubuntu support question :)
[19:51] <Heath-Home> bekks, TCPKeepAlive is set to yes, why does the connection time out?
[19:51] <Inoki> bekks: Of course. I'm running Ubuntu Studio, wanted to install Unity, but can't. It says some dependecies are not satisfied.
[19:51] <winb> !pom
[19:51] <bekks> Heath-Home: It has to be set in the config of the server you are connecting to.
[19:52] <Heath-Home> bekks, I am on the server I am trying to connect to's config.
[19:52] <bekks> Inoki: And how do you try to install it? And whats the exact error message?
[19:52] <Inoki> bekks: I used sudo apt-get install Unity*
[19:52] <Sach> using a gnome shell in ubuntu 12.10. how do i get my close, maximize and minimize buttons back on the windows? they've disappeared.
[19:53] <Inoki> bekks: And this is missing  libcunit1-ncurses : Koliduje s: libcunit1 ale inštalovať sa bude 2.1-0.dfsg-10
[19:53] <Inoki>  libcunit1-ncurses-dev : Koliduje s: libcunit1-dev ale inštalovať sa bude 2.1-0.dfsg-10
[19:53] <bekks> Inoki: Did you run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade before?
[19:54] <SpecialEd> trying to write a simple bash string that will echo $RANDOM >> every file in a directory, is there an easy way how to do this?
[19:54] <hilo> octeris, can you help me figure out how to formulate the find command?
[19:55] <Inoki> bekks: I'll try.
[19:55] <MonkeyDust> SpecialEd  'easy' depends on how skilled you are, try the channel #bash
[19:55] <Pici> Inoki: Why did you choose to install it like that? Just do: sudo apt-get install unity
[19:55] <SierraAR> Why is the update manager saying the package information was last updated over a week ago, when I just updated this morning?
[19:55] <Inoki> Pici: I wanted to have everything related to Unity be installed, so that nothing's missing.
[19:55] <marianne> is there a driver for soundblaster z out there already?
[19:56] <Suicidal> When i replug /dev/ttyUSB0 file owner and file mode getting resetted how can i set fixed file properties for it?
[19:56] <bekks> SierraAR: Because the update managers just tells you when the update manager was used the last time.
[19:56] <trism> Sach: what is: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout;
[19:57] <SierraAR> 'W:Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/precise-getdeb/Release.gpg  Unable to connect to archive.getdeb.net:http:'
[19:57] <Sach> trism: sorry, I don't know what you mean.
[19:57] <SierraAR> I disabled that in software sources, why is it trying to connect to it?
[19:57] <cfedde> how can I get chromium to trust a corporate proxy that uses a self signed cert?
[19:57] <trism> Sach: open a terminal and run that, I am curious if your settings just got wiped for that key
[19:57] <bazhang> SierraAR, checked in sources.list.d ?
[19:58] <SierraAR> bazhang: Where do I find that?
[19:58] <trism> Sach: if so, you can fix it with: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close';
[19:58] <bazhang> SierraAR, /etc/apt/
[19:58] <[snake]> would it be faster to use a 32 bit os on 64bit cpu, or the 64 bit os? i have 2gb of ram
[19:58] <MonkeyDust> [snake]  no
[19:59] <Sach> trism: it returns "':minimize,maximize,close'"
[19:59] <[snake]> MonkeyDust, it wasn't a yes or no question. see the "or" :P
[19:59] <trism> Sach: okay so looks fine already
[19:59] <bazhang> [snake], use the 64 bit
[19:59] <SierraAR> bazhang: Is deleting getdeb.list and getdeb.list.save what I want to do?
[19:59] <[snake]> ok
[19:59] <Sach> trism: however, I don't see these buttons on my windows.
[19:59] <trism> Sach: what theme are you using?
[19:59] <Sach> trism: ambience (default)
[20:00] <bazhang> SierraAR, or placing a # in front of them
[20:00] <searching> Right Click menu.xml Openbox change color
[20:00] <Pici> Inoki: When you use wildcards in your package name when using apt-get install, it uses regular expressions, and since you didn't specify that the package name start with unity, it actually is searching for every packge that contains 'unit' followed by 0 or more 'y's
[20:00] <trism> Sach: strange, did they just disappear during your session?
[20:00] <bergelmir> where can i find my custom shortcuts on the filesystem?
[20:01] <Sach> yes, when i was looking at other themes yesterday, then returned to what I previously had which is ambience default.
[20:01] <Suicidal> When i replug /dev/ttyUSB0 file owner and file mode getting resetted how can i set fixed file properties for it?
[20:01] <Sach> trism: yes, since I looked at other themes yesterday, then returned to what I previously had which is ambience default.
[20:03] <trism> Sach: odd, try running: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'minimize,maximize,close:'; I seem to remember someone else with this issue before where the settings looked right but the controls were on the wrong side
[20:03] <trism> Sach: see if the controls show up on the left of the window
[20:04] <bazhang> Sach, gnome-shell correct? no settings in tweak tool for that? you can add settings to tweak tool with the gnome extensions site, you know
[20:04] <Sach> trism: no change.
[20:04] <trism> Sach: must be something else then, weird
[20:04] <Sach> bazhang: yes, correct.  I've set it it the tweak tool too, but it has no effect on my syste,
[20:04] <Sach> m
[20:04] <trism> Sach: I'm kind of out of ideas at this point
[20:05] <chris__> I cant set up HDMI output to my tv from my geforce9500gt, halp
[20:05] <bazhang> Sach, adding extension from the gnome extensions site fixed that here
[20:05] <MeanderingCode> any dnsmasq gurus in here?
[20:05] <Sach> bazhang: how do I do that?
[20:05] <Sach> trism: thanks for trying.
[20:06] <[snake]> should I get the 12.10 release or stick with 12.04?
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> [snake]  i'm happy with 12.10
[20:06] <bazhang> Sach, the site has installers much like the firefox extensions, that you click to on, it then adds a setting configurable in tweak tool, such as variable alt-tab behavior, where the buttons for close maximize etc are and so on
[20:07] <[snake]> MonkeyDust, in the past I've had bad experiences with the latest updates for some reason O_O
[20:07] <[snake]> im not sure
[20:07] <chris__> can a geforce 9500gt output on its dvi, vga and hdmi ports at the same time?
[20:07] <chris__> or how to seitch?ű
[20:07] <bazhang> chris__, thats a hardware question is it not?
[20:09] <chris__> bazhang, it is, which room do I go nvidia?ű
[20:09] <bazhang> chris__, tried ##hardware ?
[20:09] <octeris> Hi all! I currently have a computer running Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 and I was wondering if it was possible to set up networking using a static IP with DHCP as a fallback through the /etc/network/interfaces file? i.e. I'd like the server to use the static IP setup in the interfaces file and then ask DHCP for an IP if the static IP fails for any reason.
[20:11] <Inoki> bekks: Installed the unity packages but I can't choose the shell at login. Any idea why?
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> Inoki  you may have to install gdm additionally to get the terminal as an option in lightdm - also try ctrl-alt F1
[20:16] <chris__> octeris, you should try adding the servers MAC address to the dhcp-servers config with the specified ip address
[20:17] <octeris> chris_: the real underlying issue is I moved the server to a new network here at my parent's house temporarily and the static IP was setup with a network with 192.168.1.1 as the default gateway, and here on this network the default gateway is 192.168.0.1 instead, so the server is attempting to assign itself to an invalid static IP
[20:17] <chris__> octeris, are you moving it often?
[20:18] <octeris> chris_: not particularly, although I will move it once more within the next month, and then it won't move for another year at least.
[20:21] <raymond> Does anyone have a problem with printing from firefox on an HP printer?  (FF 17.0.1, OfficeJet J6480, Ubuntu 12.10).  The only application from which I can not print is firefox.
[20:22] <chris__> I also have an integrated video card on the motherboard, can I connect one of the LCDs there and still have a double display desktop?
[20:22] <chris__> twinView
[20:23] <jyg> 12.04 doesn't magically automount MTP devices as it does basic USB?
[20:23] <chris__> octeris, and why cant you just use DHCP?4
[20:23] <dr_willis> chris__:  are both the onboard and built in nvidia?
[20:23] <dr_willis> jyg:  no it does not. neither does 12.10
[20:23] <dr_willis> jyg:  it can mount them - with a little work.
[20:23] <chris__> dr_willis, intel integrated and nvidia discrete
[20:23] <jyg> boo... so many things to tap to get my phone tomount :)
[20:24] <dr_willis> jyg:  i just use teh various services/ssh/scp/samba to get to mine
[20:24] <jyg> dr_willis, yeah i've seen the scripting solution, i've loaded the drivers, etc... just wanted some corraboration before embarking on that... or giving up ;)
[20:24] <dr_willis> ssh + andftp = all i use.
[20:25] <jyg> dr_willis, i transfer large files so ... though I guess 802.11g is faster than a class 10 card hah, so that might work fine
[20:25] <dr_willis> i found wirless faster then the cables
[20:25] <dr_willis> lot more convient also.
[20:26] <octeris> chris__: I'd like to avoid restarting the server for certain package upgrades to cause it to possibly switch IPs on me and then have to re-configure my hosts file or port forwarding,  especially since my network shares target the hostname instead of the IP
[20:26] <octeris> chris__: all my music is hosted on the server and shared with samba
[20:28] <chris__> octanium, I don't know
[20:28] <jyg> dr_willis, interest but need something to go the other direction: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ws.plattner.cifsmanager&feature=search_result
[20:29] <dr_willis> send to the phone? theres services you can run on the phone. ;)
[20:29] <jyg> hah searching for "nfs for android" shows all "need for speed"
[20:30] <jyg> yeah i was looking for such services.  don't want to use smb :p
[20:30] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever seen NFS yet.
[20:30] <dr_willis> there are ssh servers.
[20:30] <jyg> yeah, i've used those.  but when I'm copying files, for music, i often use nautilus
[20:30] <jyg> i supposes there's some way to virtual mount via ssh, but that's gotta be a dog
[20:31] <dr_willis> then there the other fancy 'share my phone' type services  that give you web interfaces to do things.
[20:31] <dr_willis> sshfs on pc -> ssh server on phone.
[20:31] <dr_willis> my phones not rooted so i cant use some of the services  that are out for android
[20:32] <jyg> heh rooted mh sgsii the day it came out, the day i bought it
[20:32] <jyg> s/mh/my/
[20:32] <jyg> if anyhting, for tethering
[20:33] <dr_willis> got an S3 here.  My plan came with the hotspot anyway. so i dident need to.  not that i use it as a hotspot much
[20:34] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:36] <dr_willis> jyg:  always finding neat things in the android market. ;) just now saw this 'Ubuntu Remote Control' lets me do some things i wa wanting to last week. Gotta love it.
[20:42] <fenix709> ciao
[20:42] <fenix709> !list
[20:42] <butch1281> My console windows keep changing size every time it looses focus.... and is incredibly annoying (ubuntu 12.04 unity)
[20:42] <butch1281> any idea how to fix it?
[20:44] <julian_> hi i cant get the nvidia drivers running correctly. I have a resolution of 640x480    Xorg.log gives this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1430509/
[20:44] <dniMretsaM> my root partition keeps going RO on me. It seems to be completely random, as I can't tie it to starting any particular process or anything. When I reboot, I'm told to run fsck manually, which I do. It fixes a bunch of errors and I can boot up just fine. then it will go read only again. sometimes immediately. sometimes after a few hours, sometimes never.
[20:45] <Enkki> Hi! Does anyone know how to configure vsftpd to get it work ? I am completely unable to get writable home directories even after follwing every proposition from the web
[20:45] <butch1281> Enkki - check the umask
[20:45] <butch1281> its in the /etc/vsftpd...something for each user you set up
[20:45] <Carlgo11> Hi I can't install Ubontu via usb. In the installation I get a msg saying "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mouted." why does it say that when im installing from a usb?
[20:47] <Carlgo11> Anyone?
[20:47] <bekks> !patience | Catbuntu
[20:47] <zlacker> Carlgo11 how have you prepared the USB stick?
[20:47] <bekks> GNA.
[20:47] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:47] <bekks> !patience | Carlgo11
[20:47] <dr_willis> Carlgo11:  what release also?
[20:47] <Carlgo11> Yes I have
[20:48] <dr_willis> servers are very splitty today. ;()
[20:48] <zlacker> Carlgo11 how have you prepared the USB stick? have you ever heard of Unetbootin ?
[20:48] <Carlgo11> I use Ubunto Server 12.10
[20:48] <Carlgo11> Yeah I have
[20:48] <dr_willis> Carlgo11:  i recall there being issues with putting the server iso on usb.
[20:48] <Seryth> Hey guys. I just added this http://www.pasteall.org/38015 to my .bashrc file, but when I open the stream I only get video, audio output. No input; my mic isn't being detected. What's wrong, and how can I fix it? I've checked in alsamixer for my levels (they're on full) and pavucontrol seems to only detect my output, not input...any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.
[20:48] <Carlgo11> No I can boot from the stick but not install from it
[20:49] <bekks> Carlgo11: Thats an "issue" dr_willis is referring to.
[20:49] <dr_willis> Carlgo11:  yes.. and the issue was the server installer not being able to see the 'iso'  its been happening for the last several releases
[20:49] <Carlgo11> So what do I do?
[20:49] <dr_willis> How did you put the ISO on the usb?
[20:49] <Treadstone__71> How can I see what my firewall is denying in real time??
[20:50] <Carlgo11> Used a program called "Universal-USB installer"
[20:50] <bekks> Treadstone__71: Depends on your firewall - which one do you use?
[20:50] <hilo> Carlgo11, I installed server 10.04 and did a release upgrade to install from usb
[20:50] <Treadstone__71> iptables ?
[20:50] <Carlgo11> Ok hilo I'll try that
[20:50] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=server+install+from+usb
[20:51] <bekks> Treadstone__71: Then you need to set up logging for each rule, to see whats happening.
[20:51] <dr_willis> carlos2010:  id check the askubuntu.com links
[20:52] <Carlgo11> ok I'll try with a older version. If that doesn't work I'll be back tommorow
[20:52] <Treadstone__71> bekks ... how does one go about that?
[20:52] <Mongolski> hej
[20:52] <hilo> Carlgo11, after you finish installing 10.04, just run "do-release-upgrade"
[20:52] <hilo> Carlgo11, After it does it's thing, you will have 12.04
[20:52] <dr_willis> seems a little over kill.. since i thinkthe answer is to use dd to put the server iso on the usb.. ;)
[20:52] <bekks> Treadstone__71: I dont know it off hand, but it should be doccumented pretty well.
[20:53] <Treadstone__71> ok. thanks
[20:53] <Ogredude> hiya folks
[20:54] <Ogredude> getting some boot problems on a fresh install of 12.04, need to edit the grub config to fix it. I know exactly what I need to edit.  The problem is that update-grub and update-grub2 are both complaining "Cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied".  I am su'd to root. I mounted the hard drive. In my terminal, I did chroot /mount/<guid>. Everything appears to be correct there.
[20:55] <Ogredude> All the forum topics I'm seeing say to chroot to the mounted disk and you should be able to update-grub
[20:55] <Ogredude> not so much
[20:55] <dr_willis> Hmm.. seems the server 'live setup' on usb can be looking for the wrong file names.. changeing the names on the usb corrects the issue
[20:56] <dr_willis> Ogredude:  theres more then just chrooting to the /, i think you need to set up /proc/ and /dev/ befor you chroot.. but i always use the  boot-repair first these days.. it seems to work well
[20:56] <jyg> ok... converting to mp4 on 12.04 is a pain.  i've tried a number of ways to get avconv to be happy with 264 or any mp4-able format.  no dice, short of recompiling avconv.
[20:56] <bekks> jyg: Then use ffmpeg :)
[20:56] <atrius> lets say for a moment i want a DNS server but i don't want bind... what else is worthy of the job and will also handle dynamic dns updates from isc DHCP?
[20:56] <Ogredude> dr_willis: ah okay, I'll look at boot-repair
[20:56] <jyg> from what i've read its a bug in the ubuntu-packaged version of avconv
[20:56] <jyg> bekks, same problem
[20:57] <Ogredude> so what, has stuff changed since all those different forum posts that say chroot to your mounted disk and update-grub?
[20:57] <dr_willis> Hmm.. I convert to mp4 all the time. but im on 12.10
[20:57] <bekks> jyg: Which is impossible, since the tools differ.
[20:57] <jyg> they do differ. but they suffer the same problem
[20:57] <dr_willis> Ogredude:  i recall always  needing to set up /proc/ and /dev/ to the mountpoints  /media/mountpoint/dev and /media/mountpoint/proc  befor chrooting
[20:57] <jyg> certainly not impossible, heh
[20:58] <vexati0n> anyone want to help me figure out why minecraft keeps blowing up at me ? :D
[20:58] <vexati0n> it's great fun
[20:58] <dr_willis> http://zeldor.biz/2010/12/install-grub-from-chroot/
[20:59] <Ogredude> dr_willis: okay I'll try boot-repair, thanks
[20:59]  * dr_willis votes for boot-repair to be included by default  on the live cds ;p
[21:00] <Ogredude> vexati0n: maybe it'd help if you went to https://gist.github.com and pasted logs of the errors you're getting and any other helpful information (video card type, java version, etc etc)
[21:00] <dr_willis> Ogredude:  i do seemto recall being able to reinstall grub from a live cd without chrooting also. if you gave the right options to the grub-install tool
[21:01] <strcrzy_> what's the best way to get in touch with canonical for paid support?
[21:01] <vexati0n> Ogredude: https://gist.github.com/4279830
[21:01] <strcrzy_> we've tried the form, and emailing
[21:01] <a111> I keep hearing a clicking sound on ubuntu 12.04
[21:01] <dr_willis> http://www.ubuntu.com/business/services
[21:02] <dr_willis> thats about all we would know on the topic strcrzy_ . is whats on the web site
[21:02] <Ogredude> vexati0n: one thing that's sticking out to me is that you have intel integrated graphics and I don't believe that's beefy enough for minecraft
[21:02] <strcrzy_> :(
[21:02] <vexati0n> Ogredude: it has been working just fine for months, though.
[21:02] <strcrzy_> 2 business days my ass
[21:02] <Guest76586> hi all what am i missing I am tring to add mysql to bootup , using update-rc.d mysql defaults , and it does not seem to be working, I don't know what I am missing
[21:02] <Guest76586> can someone help
[21:02] <vexati0n> It's a 3000, which is more than enough to handle MC. Smoothly even, with Graphics on Fast.
[21:02] <dr_willis> strcrzy_:  we have no controll over that.
[21:03] <dr_willis> Im not even sure what paid 'support' actually does...
[21:03] <bekks> strcrzy_: Take a look at he website.
[21:04] <dr_willis> Be cool if i could get paid to sit on irc all day and do support.. ;)
[21:04] <dr_willis> Oh wait.. i sit at work and irc and do support all day anyway......
[21:05] <n3ffa> ditto dr_willis
[21:05] <Ogredude> vexati0n: well that's a useful piece of information. It has worked in the past. Now when did it stop working and what have you changed since it last worked?
[21:05] <Ogredude> start there and work your way back
[21:05] <Sebj71> ciao
[21:05] <Sebj71> !list
[21:07] <vexati0n> Ogredude:
[21:07] <vexati0n> Ogredude: it worked yesterday, and stopped working after a software update
[21:07] <vexati0n> Ogredude: unfortunately I'm not sure where the "undo last software update" button is in Ubuntu...
[21:08] <Ogredude> vexati0n: how about the logs that show which pieces were updated? I bet there's clues in there.
[21:09] <Ogredude> and it's just giving you a segfault?
[21:09] <vexati0n> Ogredude: yeah it's just a segfault right after it loads LWJGL.
[21:10] <penguinman> hmm, did the drivers update? also which java are you running? sun's or open jdk?
[21:10] <WoLf> Hello everyone.. I'm having an issue trying to move my internal HD with Ubuntu 12.04 to an external USB adapter.. grub was giving me "file not found" errors.. so I tried to boot a livecd and run boot-repair but it didn't help either, but now it gives me a file in the error. "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found"
[21:10] <vexati0n> penguinman: I've tried all 3 available Oracle Javas (6, 7 and 8), and both OpenJDKs (6 and 7). Usually I use Oracle Java 8.
[21:11] <Ogredude> vexati0n: it looks like it could be a video driver issue
[21:11] <vexati0n> looks like there were a bunch of Mesa updates
[21:11] <vexati0n> do you know how to roll back updates?
[21:11] <Ogredude> I'm seeing quite a few forum posts suggesting update video drivers, or switch to the proprietary video drivers
[21:11] <penguinman> i didn't think intel had proprietary drivers
[21:12] <vexati0n> yeah... both of which do not apply to me, since Intel drivers are already the official ones, and this is the latest version
[21:12] <dr_willis> penguinman:  they dont as far as i know. there are some pps'a with newer drivers
[21:12] <Ogredude> what's really weird is you're not getting any logs or errors or anything
[21:12] <Ogredude> that, I have a hard time understanding
[21:13] <penguinman> it's minecraft. proprietary as hell. it's the actual java executable that's segfaulting
[21:13] <Ogredude> if linux is good for anything, it's freakishly fantastic at flooding your screen on an error with tons and tons of stuff that's probably only minimally useful to the guy who made the software to begin with
[21:13] <dr_willis> I think the minecraft guys need to just make a Minecraftbuntu ;)
[21:14] <penguinman> yeah, good luck with that. these are the same guys that charged their panel members admission to minecon :)
[21:14] <Ogredude> *blink*
[21:14] <dr_willis> and now ya now why i dont bother with minecraft
[21:14] <vexati0n> well i think i figured out that the last system update upgraded all the Intel 3D stuff
[21:14] <Ogredude> penguinman: okay that's a fantastically bad decision
[21:14] <vexati0n> so I need to figure out how to roll all that back to the previous version.
[21:15] <Ogredude> vexati0n: here's a useful forum thread on that subject http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1804985
[21:15] <DJones> Ogredude: Just saw you mention intel graphics not being beefy enough for minecraft, I play it regularly on my laptop with integrated intel graphics, I just have to lower the graphics quality and it plays fine
[21:15] <penguinman> vexati0n, maybe update to the experimental driver? I know with my nvidia card there's a seperate pkg for it
[21:16] <Ogredude> DJones: that's good to hear, thanks for correcting my understanding
[21:16] <DJones> Ogredude: No probs
[21:19] <n0rwack> http://www.flyingpenguin.com/?p=17668 Is this a known issue? I often experience that i can't switch trough apps (from nor gnome classic or unity)
[21:20] <vexaxv> everytime i try to download fglrx or do "sudo apt-get update" it tells me something wicked has happened and cant download, im using 12.04, anyone know whats up?
[21:21] <dr_willis> pastebin the exact commands and exact error messates vexaxv
[21:22] <n0rwack> vexaxv: try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[21:22] <Ogredude> okay, curiosity question here. On many many of the machines I've tried to put linux on, I've had to switch it to nomodeset. What's the deal with that?  I don't really understand why it's on by default if it fails on so many machines.
[21:22] <dr_willis> Ogredude:  it dosent fail on my machines any more.
[21:22] <vexaxv> i have too ogredude
[21:23] <MonkeyDust> Ogredude  never needed it on mine
[21:23] <dr_willis> I dont see people inhere needing Nomodeset near as much as they used to.
[21:23] <Ogredude> granted, the number of machines I've tried to get linux with X on, I could count without taking off my shoes.  Not so much commandline-only linux. I'd have to borrow someone else's feet to count those.
[21:23] <a111> I keep hearing a clicking sound on ubuntu 12.04  Any way to stop it?
[21:24] <Ogredude> a111: is it possibly a navigation sound?
[21:24] <dr_willis> alll depends on whats clicking..
[21:24] <vexati0n> i blame the xorg-edgers PPA. I guess I finally ran into a "don't run bleeding edge updates all the time" rule.
[21:24] <n0rwack> Have anyone experienced freezing issues? Sometimes when i sit on my laptop, it suddenly doesnt let me change to another application, neither click "Applications, Places" etc..Running 12.04..Have same issue with Unity..
[21:24] <a111> it happens when im watching youtube / listening to music
[21:24] <a111> doesnt matter as long as its got sound
[21:24] <a111> its just a popping / clicking sound
[21:24] <Ogredude> ok that's odd. Describe the sound a bit more?
[21:24] <dr_willis> alll so during sound playback theres  a popping noise.
[21:25] <penguinman> I've never understood the need to running cutting edge xorg anyway? what benefits do you actually get from it?
[21:25] <Ogredude> is it a regular or irregular clicking/popping?
[21:25] <JoaoSantana> hi all
[21:25] <a111> just a pop or click
[21:25] <Ogredude> a111: repeating, or just once/
[21:26] <a111> yeah repeating
[21:26] <n0rwack> *umm
[21:26] <a111> just randomly happens when there is sound from a application
[21:27] <n0rwack> might be something with pulseaudio, maybe?
[21:27] <vexaxv> dr_willis, im trying to pastebin it terrible internet right now but what was cause a error saying something wicked has happened while trying to update or get fglrx
[21:27] <Ogredude> a111: when it's repeating, is it a regular click, like every 5 seconds, or is it irregular?
[21:27] <n0rwack> vexaxv: did you try "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[21:27] <erncic> vexaxv: I have seen that before with bad dns server settings.
[21:28] <a111> irregular Ogredude
[21:28] <Ogredude> a111: has it ever *not* done this?
[21:28] <vexaxv> well like i said im on terrible internet right now and n0rwack ill try it
[21:29] <n0rwack> okay, vexaxv. Let me know how it goes!
[21:29] <a111> no Ogredude
[21:29] <a111> its done it since i installed it yesterday
[21:29] <Ogredude> ah, fresh install
[21:29] <vexaxv> it says 0 needed updates however apt-get update was updating
[21:29] <vexaxv> quite alot actually
[21:29] <Ogredude> a111: what sort of soundcard's in your system?
[21:29] <a111> im using a Fiio e10
[21:30] <a111> USB DAC
[21:31] <vlt> Hello. I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox. Is there a way to put something “between” my keyboard and the browser that will assign short cuts to a web page’s <a> elements? Does anyone know a firefox plugin that can do this?
[21:31] <vlt> Extra points for a plugin that lets me define selectors (similar to JQuery) which <a> elements should get short cuts first.
[21:32] <rayco> Hola!
[21:32] <rayco> Soy nuevo en ubuntu.
[21:32] <vlt> !es | rayco
[21:32] <rayco> DIgame.
[21:33] <rayco> Ok I'm sorry, so I will practice my english :D
[21:33] <WoLf> Let's try again, maybe it got missed.. I'm having an issue with running Ubuntu 12.04 from an external USB adapter.. the HD was internal before and working fine.. after I moved it to external, I am getting this grub error: "file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found" .. the prefix is set correctly (it seems), and from liveCD I can find that file in that location.
[21:33] <Ogredude> a111: what's your box proc/ram?
[21:33] <Ogredude> a111: here's some folks having the same problem, unfortunately no real solutions in there. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629212/fiio-e10-popping-noise-jitter-is-for-old-batches-only
[21:33] <WoLf> Tried to check through all the info I could find in google, ran boot-repair, and still haven't figured out a solution.
[21:33] <a111> Q6600 @ 3.42GHz, 2 ATI HD4850, 4GB RAM
[21:34] <rayco> Emm..a question, why I can install LibreOffice? I need to install first my update's?
[21:34] <Ogredude> good god, I recognize maybe 10% of newer processors anymore...  That's not one of them.
[21:34] <rayco> I can't *
[21:34] <Ogredude> ok so a core 2 quad, that's a very reasonable proc
[21:34] <xangua> rayco: libreoffice comes installed in ubuntu
[21:36] <Ogredude> a111: here's a possibility. Do you have an onboard soundcard you can disable?
[21:36] <a111> yeah, how do i disable it?
[21:36] <n0rwack> Anyone who can help me with a issue i experience on 12.04?
[21:37] <Ogredude> a111: beats me, dude :)
[21:37] <Ogredude> sorry I can't help more on that
[21:37] <Ogredude> but my thoughts are the solution's going to be either to disable the onboard soundcard, skip the Fiio and use the onboard soundcard, or fiddle with the drivers for the Fiio and possibly the USB
[21:38] <Miebster> why can't I apt-get install virtualbox?  I'm on 10.04
[21:38] <bekks> Miebster: Did you add the official vbox ppa?
[21:38] <Sna4x81> Miebster: Did you add the repository, or are you using the opensource version?
[21:38] <Miebster> I didn't add any ppa
[21:38] <bekks> Sna4x81: Since version 4, there is only an opensource version.
[21:38] <Ogredude> Miebster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation
[21:39] <Enkki> Can someone suggest a good alternative to vsftpd ?
[21:39] <bekks> Enkki: ssh
[21:39] <Sna4x81> Ahh - I remember long ago there was a version of virtualbox in the repos without adding a ppa.  I never really used that version though.
[21:40] <Enkki> bekks, i need to jail users in their home directories
[21:40] <bekks> Enkki: vsftpd can be configured like that.
[21:41] <agsel> so. I want to install ubuntu. I have win7. any suggestions on why I should not use virtual machine for ubuntu?
[21:41] <Sna4x81> agsel: opengl > 2!
[21:41] <agsel> and if I virtualize, then what to use?
[21:41] <Ogredude> agsel: depends on how you want to use it
[21:41] <cfedde> agsel: depending on the hardware the vm will work fine.
[21:42] <cfedde> agsel: virtualbox is free and good enough.
[21:42] <agsel> I have 16G ram and i7-3720
[21:42] <cfedde> you'll be fine.
[21:42] <Enkki> bekks, i know but for now i spent few hours trying to get vsftp work and I still have the error "500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot ()", it seems to be impossible to get it work
[21:42] <cfedde> Just don't give the vm too much ram.
[21:42] <bekks> agsel: And what do you want to do in your vm?
[21:42] <bekks> Enkki: The error message is very clear, isnt it? :)
[21:42] <agsel> what about nvidia graphics. I have heard that linux doesn't support optimus out of box. is this better/worse with virtual stuff?
[21:43] <agsel> mostly programming
[21:43] <cfedde> agsel: the virutalized graphos controler will be fine.
[21:43] <WoLf> Can anyone read me? wondering if I'm not coming through, or did I find a question too difficult?
[21:43] <cfedde> graphics too.
[21:43] <ShadowKatStudios> Could I have some help?
[21:43] <agsel> cfedde: thanks
[21:43] <agsel> so, what to use to virtualize?
[21:43] <ShadowKatStudios> I have an iRiver E150 and it only lets me read from it
[21:43] <hilo> Enkki, you have to set the permissions on the filesystem so that the user accessing the files can't write that directory
[21:43] <ShadowKatStudios> it says 'Read only file system'
[21:44] <bekks> Enkki: http://www.benscobie.com/fixing-500-oops-vsftpd-refusing-to-run-with-writable-root-inside-chroot/
[21:44] <ShadowKatStudios> And I can't change it in the properties
[21:44] <cfedde> agsel: you might have trouble if you want to run some high performace simulations or graphics, may even hd video from the guest os.  but for common usage you should be in good shape.
[21:44] <agsel> btw, can I use a partition of my hard drive in virtual linux?
[21:44] <hilo> Enkki, If you want users to have that ability, the work around I use is having a folder in their home which is then writable. They just can't write to the root, which is fine.
[21:44] <cfedde> agsel: the vm can partition its virutal disk
[21:45] <agsel> but if I want to share
[21:45] <bekks> agsel: Yes.
[21:45] <Enkki> bekks, of course its clear but I installed alternative version of vsftpd with "allow_writeable_chroot=YES" option enabled (http://blog.thefrontiergroup.com.au/2012/10/making-vsftpd-with-chrooted-users-work-again/), and still this msg..
[21:45] <agsel> cfedde: let's say I will have 2 virtual machines then
[21:45] <cfedde> agsel: not to easy to do that.  Best to mount the windows disk in the guest.
[21:45] <bekks> agsel: And if you want to share things, use shared folders.
[21:45] <Ogredude> agsel: last time I needed to do that, I shared the folder on the Windows side and accessed it with Samba from the Linux side
[21:45] <cfedde> agsel: what bekks said.
[21:45] <Ogredude> donno if that's the currently accepted method but it worked 6 years ago :)
[21:45] <agsel> but sharing between two different virtual machines?
[21:46] <MonkeyDust> agsel  i'm running virtual mint with 2 shared folders
[21:46] <cfedde> agsel: sure.  One or the other can publish a volume as smb or via nfs.
[21:46] <cfedde> it's up to you.
[21:46] <cfedde> or both can mount disk from the host.
[21:46] <bekks> agsel: USing shared folders or the sharings mechanisms the guest OS offers.
[21:46] <Enkki> hilo, I tried that but when I put the home directory unwritable and subdirectory writable, ftp connection works but I cannot write anything even in the subfolder (but by ssh with the same user everything works)
[21:46] <cfedde> here I mean the guests can mount a shared disk from the host.
[21:47] <hilo> Enkki, The home must have the execute permission
[21:47] <cfedde> there are lots of potential topologies.  and "best" is subjective.
[21:47] <ShadowKatStudios> Guys, could you tell me how to turn off read protection on a USB?
[21:47] <cfedde> ShadowKatStudios: thumb drive?
[21:47] <ShadowKatStudios> Wait
[21:48] <ShadowKatStudios> Guys, could you tell me how to turn off write protection on a USB? *
[21:48] <ShadowKatStudios> There
[21:48] <Enkki> hilo, hum it looks like a wise suggestion, I will try
[21:48] <Miebster> When I try to install virtual box this is what happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/1430623/
[21:48] <ShadowKatStudios> It's an iRiver E150
[21:48] <cfedde> ShadowKatStudios: a music player?
[21:48] <ShadowKatStudios> Yeah
[21:49] <ShadowKatStudios> I have it in Power & Data mode
[21:49] <cfedde> some of them are pretty picky.
[21:49] <atrius> if i create an internal DNS server with a SOA of foo.com, which exists in the external world too, that's going to cause problems for those machines which use that DNS server, wouldn't it?
[21:49] <cfedde> ShadowKatStudios: are you using the auto mount when you plug it in?
[21:49] <ShadowKatStudios> I could boot windows, but it's slow and 'Synchronising' is overly slow and useless
[21:50] <ShadowKatStudios> Yeah, it mounts itself
[21:50] <hilo> Enkki, can you pastebin your vsftp.conf?
[21:51] <Ogredude> ShadowKatStudios: here's a possibility http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/iriver-e100s-internal-memory-doesnt-automount-682289/#post3387917
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> Is it possible to change the BG colour?
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> Ah
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> I'll see
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> I can read the internal memory
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> Just not do anything to id
[21:51] <ShadowKatStudios> it*
[21:52] <Ogredude> also maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iRiver
[21:52] <Enkki> hilo, here it is: http://pastebin.com/wci33zSi
[21:53] <Miebster> I installed python 2.7 on ubuntu 10.04 which has the potential to cause conflicts, so I installed it as /opt/bin/python2.7 and in the shell "python" will launch python 2.6 and "python2.7" will  launch 2.7.  When trying to install virtual box the system is trying to use 2.7, so somewhere it knows it exists and its causing a problem, where would it specify which version to use?
[21:54] <ShadowKatStudios> I'll be back soon
[21:55] <ShadowKatStudios> Gonna go boot windows
[21:55] <ShadowKatStudios> Maybe put Rockbox on my E150
[21:55] <Miebster> How do I activate the backports repo for virtualbox?
[21:55] <hilo> Enkki, What user do you log in with
[21:55] <hilo> Enkki, to the ftp
[21:56] <WoLf> nevermind, I give up. Wasted 18 hours trying to fix this, and it seems even just a "yes can read you" is too much to ask for.
[21:57] <escott> Wolf, yes can read you
[21:57] <Enkki> hilo, is use testuser (a user that exists on my ubuntu server) and has his home directory
[21:57] <erncic> WoLf is there a root= in your grub that needs to be changed after moving the disk?
[21:57] <WoLf> Thanks, escott. At least now I know that my chat is coming through =P
[21:58] <escott> WoLf, you should state your question again
[21:58] <hilo> Enkki, on line 26 of your vsftp.conf you have to remove the comment so that "local_enable=YES" is not commented out.
[21:59] <WoLf> erncic: I tried running boot-repair to update the configuration, for what I have read, it should take care of that..
[22:00] <erncic> WoLf: True, I am just trying to come up with why the boot directory is not being found now.
[22:01] <WoLf> erncic: It's greatly appreciated.. I'm really at the last straw with this as I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.. in grub rescue, the prefix and root show correctly hd0, but if I try ls $prefix, I get a /boot/grub : file not found
[22:01] <hilo> Enkki, what are you going to use the ftp for?
[22:02] <Enkki> hilo, ah yes correct this time (its maybe the 10th config..) i forgot it
[22:02] <Enkki> hilo, to allow few users to upload and edit a particular directory
[22:02] <erncic> WoLf: do you have a separate boot partition?
[22:03] <bekks> Enkki: Why dont you use ssh for doing so?
[22:03] <WoLf> erncic: no, I only have / and swap partitions.
[22:03] <hilo> Enkki, make yourself a template for setting it up. I wrote a script which installs and configures vsftp to use guest users instead of real system users (which is a security risk if user are connecting from the public internet)
[22:04] <WoLf> in livecd, coming up as sdc1 and sdc2.. in grub rescue they are hd0,msdos1 and hd0,msdos2
[22:04] <Enkki> bekks, because doing so I will have to allow ssh access to these people and also I have read its not easy to jail users in a specific directory with ssh
[22:05] <bekks> Enkki: It is as easy as jailing ftp. And it is more secure than ftp.
[22:05] <Enkki> bekks, but these users will be able to execute other commands by ssh no ?
[22:06] <escott> Enkki, you can prevent that
[22:06] <bekks> Enkki: They can do whatever commands you permit them to "have" in their jail. Thats what a jail is for,
[22:06] <escott> Enkki, http://www.minstrel.org.uk/papers/sftp/
[22:07] <dr_willis> I cant think of many (any?) reasons to stick with ftp these days
[22:07] <hilo> Enkki, bekks, that is why I recommend the guest user method.
[22:07] <bekks> hilo: Which can used usingssh, too. I am just suggesting to not use ftp anymore these days. :)
[22:08] <Enemtee> What do i need to think about if i'm dualbooting windows and ubuntu 12.04 and I want to increase the partition ubuntu is on? gparted i guess, but what should i look out for?
[22:08] <dr_willis> Enemtee:  use a gparted live cd is the easiest way
[22:08] <Enemtee> not directly from from ubuntu then?
[22:08] <dr_willis> Enemtee:  if the ubuntu is on a logical partion inside an extended. you may need to grow it in steps
[22:09] <dr_willis> you do NOT resize a partion thats mounted/in use.
[22:09] <Enemtee> dr_willis: i'll think about that, i'm kind of new to linux, so i'm still learning. thanks.
[22:09] <erncic> WoLf: I am out of suggestions, other than try different root= lines at grub.
[22:10] <dr_willis> Enemtee:  and of course.. make backups first..
[22:10] <LennySabatier_> Hello everyone ! I need help ! I am having some serious issues.
[22:11] <LennySabatier_> I've been using Linux for years.
[22:11] <WoLf> erncic: which approach would you suggest for doing that? running boot-repair again, or manually editing from livecd? I believe I can't run update-grub from there
[22:11] <bekks> !ask | LennySabatier_
[22:11] <LennySabatier_> everything was going perfect. so much so that i ended up getting rid of my double boot and have been on Linux exclusively for at least two years.
[22:11] <hilo> LennySabatier, What is the issue
[22:12] <bekks> LennySabatier_: Thats not relevant to the actual issue, isnt it?
[22:12] <erncic> WoLf: I would hit E i think at boot and manually give it a root parameter and see if you can get it booted that way.
[22:12] <LennySabatier_> yesterday, as i was watching a dvd in bed, i accidently unplugged my pc. my pc turn off unconventionnaly and now it won't start.
[22:12] <LennySabatier_> let me elaborate on that.
[22:12] <Thete> Would 12.04 LTS or 12.10 work better as a LAMP server?
[22:12] <escott> LennySabatier, boot your install media and fsck the partitions
[22:12] <dr_willis> Thete:  for a long term/business server - most people would say stick with LTS
[22:13] <Thete> dr_willis: Sounds good, thanks :)
[22:13] <LennySabatier_> nothing is working. safe mode is not working. repairing the broken paquets isn't working.
[22:13] <WoLf> erncic: let me try.. I think I can't get to pass anything to grub at boot, as it goes straight on grub rescue prompt. Let's see.
[22:13] <LennySabatier_> i tried everything.
[22:14] <bekks> LennySabatier_: "isnt working" is pretty generic. Whats "not working" exactly, when you are doing what exactly?
[22:14] <erncic> WoLf: it is at the grub menu that you want to edit the kernal parameters.
[22:14] <srg> Hey, is there a direct URL for the lastst Desktop version, 64bit, of ubuntu? I tried finding one on the website, but it keeps bringing my browser to the download script, not a direct image
[22:14] <dr_willis> !download
[22:14] <srg> I tried ftp.ubuntu.com and various other urls
[22:14] <srg> ahh, releases
[22:14] <srg> thank you
[22:14] <LennySabatier_> when testing my my hard disk, it give me an error at 57% and says 'replace hard disk 1'
[22:14] <bekks> LennySabatier_: How did you "test" your disk exactly...?
[22:15] <LennySabatier_> i managed to ignore the errors and now i can access the guest session of my ubuntu. but not my main password protected user.
[22:15] <Enkki> bekks, ok I had a look at the ssh solution it seems intersting maybe it will work better than this vsftpd... Would it be possible to assign (jail) a group to a specific directory ? I found juste found this article, is this what about you wrote ? http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/
[22:15] <WoLf> erncic: I don't get the grub menu at all, it's instant straight to Error: file not found and then grub rescue prompt. I just tried to reboot spamming "E", no go. =(
[22:15] <LennySabatier_> i tested it by pressing escape and running a full diagnosis of the pc
[22:16] <dr_willis> So the HD has failed a 'SMART' Test?
[22:16] <bekks> LennySabatier_: Pressing esc when... where... which tool have you been using?
[22:16] <LennySabatier_> no, the SMART test worked.
[22:16] <LennySabatier_> as soon as you restart the pc, before it boots, i press escape and it takes me to the HP command so to speak.
[22:17] <bekks> LennySabatier_: Did you run a SMART selftest, too?
[22:17] <escott> LennySabatier_, HP command? sounds like some HP bios diagnostics. we wouldn't know anything about them
[22:18] <blami> how I can remove certain application from 'envelope' notification bar?
[22:18] <blami> I once launched thunderbird by accident and now it is still here even if I close the application
[22:18] <LennySabatier_> i did. the SMART test was successful. i am talking to you from my GUEST SESSION on my UBUNTU. i cannot access my normal session. the one with everything on. when i write my password, screen goes black and i go back to where i was were i have to write my password again.
[22:18] <grpace> Greetings and Happy Holidays to all out there! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.  A system update a couple of days ago updated MySQL.  Since then, when trying to access localhost through the browser, I get the error: Database Error: Unable to connect to the Database: The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available.  I can open a terminal and see that MySQL is running and access it.  Anyone have an idea of what happened here ??  Thank You.
[22:19] <erncic> WoLf: at the rescue prompt, what does 'ls' give you?
[22:19] <dr_willis> LennySabatier_:  can you login at the consoles?
[22:19] <LennySabatier_> I haven't tried logging at consols.. how would I do that ?
[22:19] <trism> blami: if 12.10+ it saves the apps currently in the messaging menu to com.canonical.indicator.messages applications (in say, dconf-editor), you could try removing the entry and restarting your session
[22:20] <WoLf> erncic: (hd0) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos1) (hd2) (hd2,msdos1) (hd3) (hd3,msdos1)
[22:20] <dr_willis> LennySabatier_:  you have been using ubuntu fir years and never used the alt-ctrl-f1 to get to the consoles?
[22:20] <trism> blami: unfortunately, the apps automatically register themselves when launched, so if you want it gone for good you are going to have to uninstall the app (or never launch it)
[22:21] <dr_willis> LennySabatier_:  go to console. see if you can login.  try making a new user. see if the new user works in the X login. if so.. that points to some setting file in your users home being to blame.
[22:21] <LennySabatier_> i never had to. i've learnt to use the command line. install most of my application from there. update & upgrade my OS from there but I have no idea what accessing consoles means.
[22:21] <WoLf> erncic: if I do a ls (hd0,msdos1)/ I get the content of my root.. but if I go deeper, like ls (hd0,msdos1)/boot/ I get empty list. /boot/grub/ goes file not found.
[22:21] <koteszop> #free botlist  <irc.openjoke.net>
[22:21] <dr_willis> LennySabatier_:  alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 = consoles. F7 = X interface

[22:22] <erncic> WoLf: have you tried to 'root(hd0,msdos1)'
[22:22] <LennySabatier_> i'm sure that it is a Home issue. i remember reading somewhere in those errors i got that i had corrupt files or something like that there.
[22:22] <dr_willis> LennySabatier_:  common issue is a messed up .Xauthority file. i would rename it/delete it.. then see if login works
[22:22] <LennySabatier_> how do i delete or repair corrupt files from my /home ?
[22:23] <dr_willis> via the rm command.. you never used 'rm' befor? ---->
[22:23] <WoLf> erncic: yes, and "set" returns: prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub and root=hd0,msdos1
[22:23] <dr_willis> weird --->  LennySab+| i never had to. i've learnt to use the command line.
[22:24] <dr_willis> rm is one of the core commands to learn. ;)
[22:24] <escott> WoLf, could /boot be empty because there might have been a /boot partition in the previous install
[22:24] <w30> LennySabatier_, lots of times if you launch a GUI app sudo it messes up permissions of the user .Xdefaults  file if so change owner back to user that you are and not root that it gets changed to.
[22:24] <bekks> LennySabatier_: And the only chance to "repair" files is getting them back from your backup.
[22:24] <litropy> Hi, all. I'd very much appreciate it if I could get some help with Remote Desktop'ing to my local server. I can ssh into it fine, but I get "Connection refused" when I try to VNC into it.
[22:24] <blami> trism: aha thanks, dconf way worked
[22:25] <koteszop> join irc.openjoke.net
[22:25] <WoLf> escott: I checked from the liveCD, mounted the usb drive, and /boot/grub contains the files it's looking for
[22:25] <koteszop> join /irc.openjoke.net
[22:25] <w30> LennySabatier_, use gksu for superuser  launch of GUI apps
[22:25] <bekks> koteszop: "/join irc.openjoke.net"
[22:25] <hwhomeworld> anyone tried ubuntu with Raspberry pI??
[22:25] <hwhomeworld> is there a version available for raspberry pi
[22:25] <litropy> Also note: I don't have a monitor hooked into it, but I did install normal 12.04, and I see Unity running.
[22:26] <bekks> hwhomeworld: No.
[22:26] <kimkam120> Wow...
[22:26] <erncic> WoLf: at his point can you  insmod /boot/......./_linux.mod   ? (use the path from your earlier post, I can't scrollback far enough)
[22:26] <hwhomeworld> no to special version or no to ubbuntu?
[22:26] <hwhomeworld> or both
[22:26] <dr_willis> koteszop:  you join channels.. and connect to servers... then join the channels on the server.
[22:26] <bekks> hwhomeworld: No to both.
[22:26] <xxen0nxx> so im haveing a bit of an issue wiht ubuntu 11.10 32bit server edition
[22:27] <WoLf> erncic: linux.mod? not normal.mod ?
[22:27] <xxen0nxx> when i boot up it gets past post and then hangs on a black screen
[22:27] <WoLf> I'm going to try.
[22:27] <hwhomeworld> well is there a reason why ubuntu cant be run??
[22:27] <xxen0nxx> iv tried evrything besides format
[22:27] <hwhomeworld> and debian runs fine
[22:27] <dr_willis> hwhomeworld:  there is a piBuntu project.
[22:27] <auronandace> !arm | hwhomeworld
[22:28] <ScottJensen> xxen0nxx: you need to set vmalloc=768M in your grub config
[22:28] <erncic> WoLF: normal.mod - like I said, I could not scroll back far enough,
[22:28] <dr_willis> hwhomeworld:  the Pi is a bit underpowered for a full featured ubuntu.
[22:28] <WoLf> *nods* alright
[22:28] <xxen0nxx> can i do that from rescue broken system?
[22:28] <ScottJensen> xxen0nxx: in 11 they changed it to 1GB
[22:28] <ScottJensen> by default
[22:28] <bekks> hwhomeworld: Ye, there is a reason. Ubuntu supports ARMv7 only, while the Raspberry Pi uses ARMv6.
[22:28] <xxen0nxx> ok
[22:28] <WoLf> erncic: insmod /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod -> Error file not found.
[22:29] <xxen0nxx> it wsa fine before but i did a kernal update and it broke
[22:29]  * dr_willis waits for his backordered Pi's to arrive...
[22:29] <escott> !nomodeset | xxen0nxx
[22:29] <xxen0nxx> ok thanks
[22:29] <WoLf> erncic: which is actually the error it gives me at boot, too.
[22:30] <ScottJensen> xxen0nxx: yes, rescue boot, vi /etc/default/grub, add vmalloc=768M to the default cmdline. then config-grub
[22:30] <erncic> WoLf: I don't think hd0 is the one you want then. Try the other ones and repeat the process. root(hd1,msdos1) .. etc.
[22:30] <samy> hi
[22:30] <xxen0nxx> ok thanks
[22:30] <RickZilla> If I use the disk installer, can I go back in later with a partition editor and get rid of that partition if I need to?
[22:30] <xxen0nxx> ill try that
[22:30] <WoLf> erncic: it's the only hd with 2 partitions, and ls of / on hd0,msdos1 gives me the list of directories in my root, including /boot/
[22:30] <blami> trism: by the way - if I decide to use anything else than empathy (which is actually broken with beehive xmpp) will I lose the ability to control status using the icons in messages menu?
[22:31] <samy> i'm in live ubuntu 12.10 now
[22:32] <WoLf> erncic: and I don't have another linux installation on that computer. Btw.. I did try all of them out of desperation while trying all the informations I could find on google.
[22:32] <samy> and wanna re partition my hard with Gparted program
[22:32] <samy> how can i access gparted in live version?
[22:32] <trism> blami: any app can support status changes, it isn't exclusive to empathy. though if no apps in the messaging menu support it, the status items will be hidden
[22:33] <LennySabatier> sorry for disappearing dr_willis
[22:33] <samy> i can't find it
[22:33] <dr_willis> samy:  try sudo apt-get install gparted
[22:34] <LennySabatier> i pressed the buttons you told me to press ctlr + alt + f1 and i logged on to my account. what do i do then ?
[22:34] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  clean out the old config files  id start with .Xauthority
[22:34] <samy> dr_willis: thanks, how can i open a terminal?
[22:35] <dr_willis> mv .Xauthority old.Xauthority
[22:35] <RickZilla> If I use the disk installer, can I go back in later with a partition editor and get rid of that partition if I need to?
[22:35] <erncic> WoLf: I'd try at #grub and see if they can help. It is a grub2 problem for sure, but what I "know" has just been exhausted. :)
[22:35] <dr_willis> samy:  top ubuntu icon, click, type 'terminal'
[22:35] <LennySabatier> ok, then what ?
[22:36] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  try to login to X
[22:36] <WoLf> erncic: Thanks for your help =) I will try to ask there.
[22:36] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  try renameing .config next  if it still fails
[22:36] <dr_willis> .Xauthority seems to be the issue most of the time.
[22:37] <LennySabatier> ok, i'll be back. i'll try it and rush back. thank you
[22:38] <Wicla> Hi. This might be a stupid question. Are it possible to include variables such as $USER for sudoers rules? Like allow group X to do chown $USER (which is their own user)?
[22:38] <belgianguy> hmm, my system just hung up
[22:38] <belgianguy> and I suspect my ATI/fglrx
[22:39] <belgianguy> how do I check those?
[22:39] <Wicla> so, user USER1 is allowed to chown USER1 <somefile> and USER2 is allowed to chown USER2 <somefile>
[22:39] <samy> dr_willis: i can't find it :( is there any keys combination for opening a terminal?
[22:39] <LennySabatier> @dr_willis where is the directory containing .Xauthority ?
[22:40] <bekks> LennySabatier: it is in your home.
[22:40] <willmore> Is anyone else experiencing missing menus after reboot?  I just built this box yesterday, all packages are up to date and I reboot today and login and there are no menus at all.
[22:40] <Wicla> at the moment the rule does not match since the username does not match $USER (the value is not expanded when it should match)
[22:40] <willmore> 12.10, btw.
[22:41] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  there is no direcotry its in your Homes root
[22:41] <dr_willis> samy:  you are using Unity?
[22:42] <dr_willis> willmore:  just the ,menu bars? or the left panel also?
[22:42] <samy> dr_willis: no i'm in ubuntu live CD now, so it must be gnome i think
[22:42] <escott> Wicla, no
[22:42] <willmore> Ahh-ha!  .xerrors "Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: glXQueryExtensionsString is NULL for screen 0"
[22:42] <LennySabatier> @bekks @dr_willis i wrote this exactly "sudo mv .Xauthority old.Xauthority" without the brackets. the answer was "no file or folder of this type" it said it in french, i translated to english.
[22:42] <dr_willis> samy:  what release?
[22:42] <samy> dr_willis: 12.10
[22:42] <willmore> dr_willis, both of them.  Just a blank desktop--well, the one icon I put there yesterday.
[22:42] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  shouldent have been any need to use sudo   see if the file is there..
[22:42] <bekks> LennySabatier: Then you arent in the correct directory.
[22:43] <willmore> Looks like Compiz doesn't like the radeon driver.
[22:43] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  an check your current directory.
[22:43] <dr_willis> samy:  then you are using Unity.
[22:43] <LennySabatier> i can't access my Home from the Guest Session
[22:43] <Peddy> u
[22:43] <samy> dr_willis: : )
[22:43] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  you USE THE CONSOLE, login as your user. and  move/rename the files.. not the guest session
[22:44] <samy> i'm beginner
[22:44] <dr_willis> samy:  and you are wanting to use gparted? Thats a little scary.
[22:44] <Peddy> I can't mount my other hard drive which is encrypted, even though I'm sure the passphrase is correct, is there another format I could enter the password in?
[22:44] <willmore> Maybe if I set my window manager to something other than unity/compiz.
[22:44] <dr_willis> samy:  tap the super key type 'term' it should show Terminal
[22:45] <dr_willis> samy:  or alt-ctrl-t
[22:45] <BluesKaj> samy, http://www.ubun2.com/question/210/what_ubuntu_terminal_shortcut_key
[22:45] <LennySabatier> I used the console, typed in the command and the console told me the file didn't exist. i already am logged in the console at my user. how do i check whether the file is there or not using my console ?
[22:45] <belgianguy> any way to check for logs why my system hung up?
[22:45] <willmore> Ctrl-Alt-Super-Meta-Shift-X
[22:45] <willmore> Hard to do with one hand.
[22:45] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  you said earlier you knew how to use the cli commands... guess you were exaggerating?
[22:46] <Wicla> escott: I thought as much. Thank you for you answer
[22:46] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  'ls -al'
[22:46] <bekks> LennySabatier: Did you check wether the file exists in the directory you currently are?
[22:47] <LennySabatier> i checked, the file is not there :/
[22:47] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  and to reset most all the other configs  'mv .config  backup.config'
[22:47] <OerHeks> logically you cannot access your home folder from a guest-account
[22:47] <maslo> hi guys could anyone walk me through a postfix installation or something similiar? All the tutorials online are either outdated or makes you install /config a bunch of stuff without really explaining anything I want 2 things out of it, I wanna be able to foward emails to another domain name and I'd like to be able to pipe them to a php script, if anyone can help me out it would be very appreciated! just PM me thank you ;x
[22:47] <bilbonvidia> what order are sleep.d scripts run?
[22:47] <samy> dr_willis: terminal says that i already have gparted so how can i open gparted program
[22:47] <bilbonvidia> higher or lower first
[22:47] <bekks> LennySabatier: Whats the name of the directoy you are in currently?
[22:47] <dr_willis> samy:  type its name in a terminal.. or again.. use the super key/dash and type its name
[22:47] <bilbonvidia> 10_script 11_script
[22:48] <samy> i have backup from my hard disk, it's ok :)
[22:48] <willmore> How does one change the window manager from the command line in Ubuntu?
[22:48] <pawlo_231> hi, how to configure sound blaster x-fi in Ubuntu?
[22:48] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  you did type its name right? ;)    ls -al will show all files in the crrent directory
[22:48] <dr_willis> willmore:  during a running session replaceing the current one? or change the default the user has when he logs in?
[22:48] <willmore> dr_willis, next session is fine.
[22:48] <LennySabatier> now i'm in home
[22:49] <dr_willis> willmore:  you would edit your .dmrc file or just select it in the login manager screen
[22:49] <willmore> dr_willis, compiz is crashing because the OSS Radeon driver doesn't support some extension it wants to see.
[22:49] <samy> dr_willis: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gparted Root privileges are required for running gparted.
[22:49] <dr_willis> willmore:  many wm's support the 'windowmanagername --replace' option
[22:49] <samy> :(
[22:49] <willmore> dr_willis, Okay, I looked on the login manager screen, but I don't see a place to select the WM.  Do I need to hold down a special key or something?
[22:50] <dr_willis> samy:  that makes sence... since you dont want every user to be able to format your hard drives...
[22:50] <dr_willis> willmore:  the little gear is an icon/menu
[22:50] <LennySabatier> done, the file is definitely not there :(
[22:50] <dr_willis> They really need a better lightdm theme..
[22:50] <dr_willis> gdm's default is much more obvious
[22:50] <bekks> LennySabatier: Then answer my question please.
[22:51] <LennySabatier> i am in the HOME directory.
[22:51] <willmore> dr_willis, I don't see any gear on the login manager screen
[22:51] <LennySabatier> cd /home
[22:51] <bekks> LennySabatier: Whats the full name of the directory you are in?
[22:51] <LennySabatier> that's where i am.
[22:51] <bekks> LennySabatier: Thats wrong. cd /home/yourusername
[22:51] <ScottJensen> cd ~
[22:51] <ScottJensen> that takes you home
[22:51] <samy> dr_willis: yes you right! so there is no way for using gparted in live cd, yes?
[22:51] <dr_willis> samy:  run it via gksudo like you would on a normal install..
[22:52] <dr_willis> I use gparted from a live cd all the time
[22:52] <dr_willis> 'gksudo gparted'
[22:52] <LennySabatier> lionel@Lionel-Ubuntu:/$
[22:52] <LennySabatier> that's the full name of my directory right now.
[22:52] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  notice your prompt changes to be your current directory? :)
[22:53] <LennySabatier> ok, let me try again.
[22:53] <hilo> LennySabatier, pwd
[22:53] <bekks> LennySabatier: No. Thats just your prompt. Use "pwd" to get you current directoy.
[22:53] <LennySabatier> using pwd
[22:53] <willmore> dr_willis, maybe the gear doesn't appear is there isn't more than one WM installed.  Installing xfce
[22:54] <LennySabatier> it says i'm in /home/lionel
[22:54] <samy> dr_willis:  thanks' it works :)
[22:54] <LennySabatier> lionel being my username
[22:54] <LennySabatier> Did not understand your question dr_willis ?
[22:55] <LennySabatier> am i still in the wrong directory ?
[22:55] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  now look at your files/dirs.. whats there.
[22:55] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  just 'cd' goes back to your home directory also.
[22:56] <willmore> dr_willis, that fixed it.  Now there's a gear and xfce is an option.  Just logged in.  yay!
[22:56] <LennySabatier> if what i'm looking at are the only files there then i am really screwed :O most of my folders are completely gone :O
[22:56] <willmore> dr_willis, now, I'll install the AMD binary driver and go back.  Thanks for the help!
[22:56] <LennySabatier> can i share a print screen of my folders here ?
[22:58] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  you are looking for the .config directory, and the file .Xauthority
[22:58] <dr_willis> rename both of those. and then see if your user can login.
[23:00] <LennySabatier> the .config directory doesn't exist anymore. *cd /home/lionel/.config*  directory doesn't exist.
[23:01] <samy> dr_willis: i can't delete some of my partitions, because they are not unmount and there is no unmount option on right click menu
[23:01] <LennySabatier> most of my folders don't show when i use *ls -al*
[23:01] <dr_willis> sounds like you had a major filesystem failure then.
[23:03]  * dr_willis will BBL.. gotta get ready for work.
[23:04] <LennySabatier> how the hell did that happen ? the only thing that happened was my pc getting accidently unplugged while watching an mp4 movie on vlc. that's all. how can i fix it ? can't ubuntu access the internet and download the missing files ?
[23:04] <LennySabatier> thank you anyway dr_willis.
[23:06] <RickZilla> If I use the disk installer, can I go back in later with a partition editor and get rid of that partition if I need to?
[23:06] <OerHeks> LennySabatier, logically you cannot access your home folder from a guest-account, try to boot recovery by pressing shift @ boot to enter grub menu
[23:07] <atrius> where in the world do i kill the thing that keeps clearing my shell history?
[23:07] <ubuntie> how would i create a bash script that will count then display the number of arguments actually passed to the script if the number of the arguments is zero, then have it display an appropriate usage message
[23:08] <LennySabatier> what do i do once i'm in the grub menu ?
[23:08] <ubuntie> Hello Lenny can you please assist :)
[23:08] <samy> is there anyone to help me? :(
[23:08] <escott> atrius, (a) by default nothing will kill your history (b) you probably just have multiple shells competing to write history (c) we do not condone murder in this channel
[23:09] <atrius> ubuntie: http://bit.ly/TRgYvh :)
[23:09] <ubuntie> hey samy you know how to script?
[23:09] <atrius> escott: lol
[23:09] <LennySabatier> i myself am being assisted ubuntie. i just read your message. it goes beyond my simple understanding of command line usage. i'm sorry.
[23:09] <samy> ubuntie: nope
[23:09] <escott> atrius, try: shopt -s histappend in your ~/.bashrc
[23:10] <escott> atrius, export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a' may also be desirable
[23:10] <ubuntie> atrius thank you kindly, but i am actually stuck on even how to start this lil puppy
[23:10] <atrius> escott: already present.. that's part of why i'm confused
[23:10] <atrius> escott: i'll check on that one
[23:10] <samy> ubuntie: would u help me pls?
[23:10] <atrius> ubuntie: what exactly are you trying to do?
[23:11] <Treadstone__71> How does one monitor the firewall for denies etc in Ubuntu?
[23:11] <ubuntie> create a script that will accept general commands
[23:11] <ubuntie> then display how many commands were used
[23:11] <ubuntie> if none were used then display a command must be used
[23:11] <atrius> ubuntie: are you just doing this for a learning toy?
[23:11] <samy> hum
[23:11] <ubuntie> yes
[23:11] <OerHeks> LennySabatier, after doing that you can choose recovery mode, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode after that, i am no wizzard howto resolve your problem too
[23:12] <penguinman> Treadstone__71, it's in the system logs somewhere. forget exactly where as my firewall is handled by my router and I haven't had to get into it in a long time
[23:12] <ubuntie> sorry samy I'm learning too
[23:12] <ubuntie> the commands can be like date, time, who
[23:12] <ubuntie> and then display those arguments
[23:12] <ubuntie> and once it shows them it will give the number of arguments used
[23:12] <dr_willis> samy:  teaching people how to use gparted over irc is a little bit challangeing.
[23:12] <ubuntie> if none are provide it will give an error message advising to give one
[23:13] <[snake]> I am writing zeroes to my disk.
[23:13] <dr_willis> samy:  you do understand the basics of disk partioning?
[23:13] <Treadstone__71> penguinman Thank you.
[23:13] <LennySabatier> ok, thank you OerHeks, i'll try it and come back.
[23:13] <ubuntie> atrius i understand it might use #? in there?
[23:14] <samy> dr_willis: you right. i did it at installes mint  before
[23:14] <samy> *installed
[23:14] <dr_willis> samy:   you may need to use the umount command to force differnt partions to be unmounted if the liv4e cd is mounting them.
[23:15] <dr_willis> samy:  i tend to use the gparted live cd - which is specilized and does not mount anything by default
[23:15] <samy> yes
[23:15] <tyler_d> my login time takes appx 45 seconds, how would I go about figuring out what is slowing it down?
[23:15] <Ogredude> hey I need a braincheck here. All the documentation I can find tells me to set my DNS servers by editing /etc/resolv.conf but when I get in there it's got this all-caps warning not to edit it by hand, my changes will be overwritten.  Which one should I believe?
[23:16] <penguinman> tyler_d, is that time to boot or is that time from actually typing in your password to login?
[23:16] <dr_willis> Ogredude:  thats the old docs.
[23:16] <dr_willis> theres a service that handles resolv.conf these days
[23:16] <dr_willis> brb
[23:16] <tyler_d> penguinman: typing password to having a useable desktop
[23:16] <xangua> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/setup-static-dns-servers-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ just use gksudo instead of sudo for gedit Ogredude
[23:16] <Ogredude> xangua: gedit's the editor, yeah?
[23:17] <Ogredude> if so, I'll vi, thanks
[23:17] <penguinman> do a dash search for startup applications and try disabling some of them. also do you get any system error messages when you first log in?
[23:17] <penguinman> tyler_d, ^^
[23:18] <tyler_d> ahh, penguinman how is that done from term? for startup apps?
[23:19] <penguinman> tyler_d, that I actually don't know. I imagine it would be under ~/.config somewhere.
[23:20] <penguinman> tyler_d, I'm actually a KDE guy so I haven't really gotten under the hood in unity too much.
[23:20] <tyler_d> penguinman: is there no way to enable logging in order to see what applications are taking the most cpu time?
[23:20] <tyler_d> penguinman: or real time would be even more fantastical
[23:21] <RickZilla> If I use the disk installer, can I go back in later with a partition editor and get rid of that partition if I need to?
[23:21] <Ogredude> xangua: worked, thanks!
[23:21] <escott> RickZilla, yes?
[23:21] <atrius> ubuntie: http://pastebin.com/JycJN7A3 <-- see if this makes sense
[23:21] <RickZilla> escott: you sound like you're not so sure...
[23:22] <escott> RickZilla, not sure what your question is. you can always remove partitions
[23:22] <penguinman> tyler_d, try this, install htop, open up a tty via ctrl alt f1, run htop, switch back to f7, log in, then back to f1 and watch to see for any usage spikes.
[23:22] <tyler_d> penguinman: I will tias, back shortly
[23:22] <RickZilla> escott: Clarification: If I opt to not do a rolling upgrade, and instead do a fresh install later on, can I just nuke that partition and start over?
[23:23] <RickZilla> escott: Bigger question: the disk installer creates a partition for me, right?
[23:23] <LennySabatier> @OerHeks nothing remains in my home folder. not my downloads folder. not my dropbox folder. not my Ubuntu One folder. not my movies folder ... how the hell can all those folders filled with countless gigs of data disappear ?
[23:23] <escott> RickZilla, still really unclear what you are proposing
[23:23] <LennySabatier> should i lose hope in ever recovering all that data ?
[23:24] <RickZilla> escott: If I have win, then install ubuntu, the disk installer creates the partition, correct?
[23:24] <Ogredude> RickZilla: it's all just partitions, dude. You'd nuke 'em the same way you would if you'd set them up for yourself instead of letting the installer do it
[23:24] <escott> LennySabatier, did you have encrypted home
[23:24] <LennySabatier> yes i did.
[23:24] <escott> RickZilla, yes
[23:24] <RickZilla> Ogredude: got it...if I create a partition first, does the disk installer give me the option of installing to that partition?
[23:24] <Ogredude> I've had good luck in the past by just letting the installer do its thing
[23:24] <LennySabatier> everything was encrypted. :(
[23:24] <RickZilla> escott: Got it...thx
[23:25] <tyler_d> penguinman: that was super fast that time around
[23:25] <escott> LennySabatier, then ecryptfs is probably not running
[23:25] <Ogredude> just tell it you want to install alongside win7 and accept the defaults on the partition stuff (except the sizes maybe), and it's always worked well for me
[23:25] <tyler_d> penguinman: which doesn't really help determine the problem
[23:25] <LennySabatier> escott, what do i need to do to run it ? why do i need to run it ?
[23:25] <RickZilla> k, thanks Ogredude and escott
[23:26] <escott> !ecryptfs | LennySabatier
[23:26] <BlessJah> could someone explain briefly what does '-t intrepid' mean and how it works in "sudo apt-get -b source -t intrepid firefox-3.0" (from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto)
[23:26] <ubuntie> arti thank you
[23:26] <ubuntie> checking
[23:26] <ubuntie> one second pls
[23:26] <escott> !encrypted | LennySabatier
[23:26] <escott> LennySabatier, there might be instructions on how to do the mount in ~/.Private
[23:27] <BlessJah> let's say i want gimp=2.8 on my precise box (precise has 2.6, while quantal has 2.8)
[23:27] <escott> BlessJah, upgrade to quantal
[23:27] <LennySabatier> thank you, i will read on how to do that. by the way, out of the few files remaining in my home directory, most of them have ecryptfs in them.
[23:28] <LennySabatier> thank you ubottu
[23:28] <RickZilla> BlessJah: You might have to get the .deb file to install it pre-quantal
[23:29] <BlessJah> RickZilla: according to doc entry, building package is better than simply grabbing .deb from quantals repositories
[23:29] <BlessJah> doc entry from link*
[23:30] <ubuntie> atrius works great sir!
[23:30] <ubuntie> only question is how do i make it run that command
[23:30] <ubuntie> lets suppose the script name is argcommand
[23:30] <ubuntie> and i run argcommand who time date
[23:31] <ubuntie> have it display those 3 things
[23:31] <atrius> ubuntie: stick that in a file.. and either do "bash filename" or give it the correct permissions with "chmod 700 filename".. you'd then run it with "./filename arg arg arg"
[23:31] <michalchik> Relative newbie to ubunto and linux. Any ideas on how i connect my cell phone to my machine to offload my text messages.
[23:31] <tyler_d> how do I unencrypt my home directory?
[23:32] <ubuntie> won't chmod u+x give it that access?
[23:32] <LennySabatier> maybe i can't access my home because the data is encrypted. eventhough i am typing my log in password. could that be a possibility ?
[23:32] <atrius> ubuntie: yes, it would
[23:32] <michalchik> And yes, i have googled the issue and the suggested tways seem to do nothing
[23:33] <atrius> ubuntie: "chmod u+x" == "chmod 700"
[23:33] <escott> LennySabatier, the ecryptfs loopback could have been corrupted in some way when you had the hard shutdown
[23:33] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  what exactly is in your home directory?
[23:33] <xxen0nxx> hey thanks
[23:33] <dr_willis> I never use encrypted homes. ;)
[23:33] <xxen0nxx> got the issue fixed
[23:33] <escott> LennySabatier, something about the ecryptfs or its contents could be causing the login to fail back to the login screen
[23:33] <xxen0nxx> dr_willis: i used encrypted LVM :D
[23:34] <LennySabatier> that sounds logical escott.
[23:34] <LennySabatier> i wish i had your knowledge dr_willis
[23:34] <xxen0nxx> lenny did you encrypt both ur hdd and home dir?
[23:35] <LennySabatier> I believe i did. now i understand why nothing shows in my home directory. everything, absolutely everything that shows in my home directory has ecryptfs in it.
[23:35] <erncic> LennySabatier: How are you logged in?
[23:35] <ubuntie> atrius whenever the shell is given a command on the command line, the shell creates a duplicate of the shell process, what type of commands are exception to this rule?
[23:36] <Krustyklimber> hi
[23:36] <LennySabatier> Acess-Your-Data.desktop
[23:36] <xxen0nxx> lenny i did that once and it messed EVRYTHING up
[23:37] <LennySabatier> i'm logged in as a guest and am trying to access my home through Console ctrl+alt+f1.
[23:37] <dr_willis> well. the question is now.. was there anything critical you needed in your home directory LennySabatier ?
[23:37] <Krustyklimber> hey Dr willis how are ya...
[23:37] <LennySabatier> xxen0nxx, i understand exactly what you mean. i can't recover any of my data because of one corrupt file.
[23:38] <xxen0nxx> Lenny there could be a tool on UBCD that could help you
[23:38] <xxen0nxx> not sure tho
[23:38] <LennySabatier> yes. everything is critical. un-backed up pictures. years and years of pictures. the movies i can download again. the music too. but the pictures. years of memories :/
[23:38] <LennySabatier> at this point i'll give anything a try.
[23:38] <reeed> O.O
[23:38] <tyler_d> is there any way to unencrypt your home directory?
[23:39] <xxen0nxx> admins am i alowed to post a link?
[23:39] <LennySabatier> can't i simply replace the corrupt encryption files ? :(
[23:39] <Krustyklimber> when I downloaded 12.10 last night, it never gave me the option to save it to my flash drive... I have since copied it to my flash, but can't seem to get it to install...
[23:39] <dr_willis> this is why you have backups......
[23:39] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  copied how? what files are on the flash drive?
[23:39] <[snake]> can I make a live usb of ubuntu 12.04 64 bit while on a live cd ubuntu 10.04 32bit
[23:39] <LennySabatier> i couldn't afford an external hard drive to back up my stuff. ugh !
[23:40] <xxen0nxx> lenny try this
[23:40] <xxen0nxx> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[23:40] <xxen0nxx> otherwise you might have to learn how to hack encrypted volumes XD
[23:40] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  ubuntu one has 5gb online for free.
[23:40] <xxen0nxx> dropbox is good to
[23:41] <Krustyklimber> I dragged it, from downloads to my flash - the file is named "ubuntu 12.10 - desktop - i386.iso"
[23:41] <dr_willis> every cloud service i install ion my phone wants to save my pics online. ;)
[23:41] <escott> Krustyklimber, that wont work
[23:41] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  you totally did it wrong then. ;)
[23:41] <Krustyklimber> awww
[23:41] <LennySabatier> i already purchased a song just so i could get 20 Gb for free until april, i have dropbox, i have box, i have google drive and skydrive. but not enough space to upload all my pictures to any of them.
[23:41] <xxen0nxx> yah  u did XD
[23:42] <Krustyklimber> figures
[23:42] <xxen0nxx> krusty you need to use something like unetbootin to burn the iso to the flashdrive
[23:42] <Krustyklimber> which part did I get wrong... all of it?
[23:42] <LennySabatier> how could i hack my own encryption ?
[23:42] <xxen0nxx> ya
[23:42] <xxen0nxx> lenny
[23:43] <xxen0nxx> ummmm
[23:43] <xxen0nxx> you might have to google around that one
[23:43] <escott> LennySabatier, just read the instructions to mount your ecryptfs partition
[23:43] <xxen0nxx> learn cryptography
[23:43] <xxen0nxx> ^wat escott said
[23:43] <LennySabatier> i read them, for that i need the passphrase, which i don't have.
[23:44] <Krustyklimber> I have no idea what burning it to my flash even means
[23:44] <xxen0nxx> lenny dident you set the password?
[23:44] <escott> LennySabatier, if you dont have your passphrase then you cant read the data
[23:44] <xxen0nxx> wat a sec if you dont have the password
[23:44] <xxen0nxx> try konboot
[23:45] <xxen0nxx> i think thay have a linux build
[23:45] <LennySabatier> the passphrase is different from the log in password.
[23:45] <xxen0nxx> how did u manage to do that O_O
[23:45] <xxen0nxx> hahaha
[23:45] <ScottJensen> xxen0nxx: was it vmalloc or nomodeset?
[23:45] <newb999> hi
[23:46] <xxen0nxx> nomodeset
[23:46] <ScottJensen> that is good
[23:46] <ScottJensen> glad you got it working
[23:46] <newb999> I have a quesion on the Ubuntu 10.04 GUI is this the appropriate place to ask?
[23:46] <jrib> newb999: yes
[23:46] <newb999> thanks
[23:46] <xxen0nxx> Scott: yes thanks :)
[23:47] <newb999> When I mouse over certain things on the panel it pops up a tiny message that describes what the item is for
[23:47] <Gwennifer> Do I really have to just pull a xorg.conf from the internet if I want to modify it?
[23:47] <jrib> Gwennifer: no?
[23:47] <Krustyklimber> any advice on burning to a flash drive would be appreciated
[23:47] <newb999> example: mouse over "applications" and a pop up says "nd install applications"
[23:47] <xxen0nxx> krusty its rly simple
[23:47] <newb999> is it possible to shut those off?
[23:47] <jrib> !enter | newb999
[23:47] <reeed> Krustyklimber: google "unetbootin"
[23:47] <xxen0nxx> just get unetbootin
[23:47] <escott> Krustyklimber, what os are you using
[23:47] <newb999> OK
[23:48] <Krustyklimber> I have 12.04 right now
[23:48] <Krustyklimber> +lts
[23:48] <jrib> Gwennifer: you should read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config
[23:48] <Gwennifer> How do I generate one, then? I've looked, I don't have a xorg.conf file.
[23:48] <escott> Krustyklimber, usb-creator-gtk
[23:48] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  or any of the dozen tools at the pendrivelinux web site
[23:49] <erncic> Krustyklimber: or you can use dd
[23:49] <escott> Gwennifer, why do you want one?
[23:49] <Krustyklimber> I don't understand what any of that means
[23:49] <newb999> I would like to get rid of the pop up descriptions on the Ubuntu 10.04 interface, for example I move my mouse over "applications" on the upper panel and I get a popup describing that button, is it possible to turn this off?
[23:49] <Krustyklimber> I am not a computer guy... maybe I'm beyond help here
[23:50] <dr_willis> Krustyklimber:  i suggest going to the pendrivelinux site and readng some guides
[23:50] <escott> !info usb-creator-gtk | Krustyklimber
[23:50] <dr_willis> you IMAGE the iso to the usb. You dont copy a file.. it has to be done as special way
[23:50] <Gwennifer> I want to be able to use my monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050. The highest I can go is 1024x768. I am using Intel's integrated graphics, G31/G33 chipset
[23:51] <dr_willis> Gwennifer:  the xrandr wiki pages have some info on forceing/adding undetected resolutions
[23:51] <newb999> HUh I would have thought I would get a quick answer to that, funny no one knows the answer
[23:51] <dr_willis> newb999:  answer is. you dont turn them off i imagine.
[23:51] <randomuser34> Hell guys. I was in windows and converted my disk to dynamic on accident. I'm trying to wipe everything now and start fresh. I can't install ubuntu or windows on a dynamic disk...using a ubuntu live cd, how can I change this disk back to basic?
[23:51] <newb999> I find that hard to believe
[23:52] <dr_willis> check askubuntu.com perhaps?
[23:52] <randomuser34> Hello*
[23:52] <newb999> I have done extensive searching
[23:52] <Krustyklimber> I'll try reading pendrivelinux first I guess
[23:52] <newb999> all i get is turnign off messaging pop ups and web pages
[23:52] <newb999> nothign about system pops
[23:52] <newb999> or maybe they aren't called that
[23:52] <dr_willis> ive never noticed any way to do it.  I think the proper term is 'mouseover labels' or somting like that
[23:52] <LennySabatier> I've gotten to a point where the command line is asking me for a cipher
[23:52] <LennySabatier> [aes]
[23:52] <dr_willis> LennySabatier:  it might want your password.
[23:52] <LennySabatier> don't know what it wants from me ?
[23:53] <newb999> dr_willis: since its a virtual machine anytiem one of those is triggered it takes the focus to the VM
[23:53] <escott> LennySabatier, it wants to know what cipher you used.
[23:53] <newb999> off whatever I am doing on the host
[23:53] <newb999> drives me nuts
[23:53] <yugnip> newb999: poke around in dconf, but be careful
[23:53] <newb999> I did
[23:53] <newb999> again if you don't know what they are called
[23:53] <dr_willis> newb999:  im not clear on what popups you mean then.. the mouseover on icons would only affect you when you are mouseing about.
[23:54] <LennySabatier> ok, i've gotten passed that point. i'll let you know where it leads. thanks escott and dr_willis
[23:54] <newb999> you knwo your upper bar on your screen?
[23:54] <erncic> newb999: http://www.question-defense.com/2010/09/25/ubuntu-10-04-disable-popup-description-on-mouse-hover
[23:54] <newb999> generally has the time netwrok etc
[23:54] <newb999> it has a "apllications" menu
[23:54] <escott> LennySabatier, when you first created the encrypted home it created a file you should have backed up somewhere
[23:54] <Ojoloco> ey guys, I'm in a hurry, why I can't move the directory "Banco"? I am the owner :(
[23:54] <newb999> an example would be I move my mouse to click on apps and a little pop up comes up saying "browse and install applications"
[23:54] <Ojoloco> I can do it through shell
[23:55] <Ojoloco> But I can't do it through nautilus

[23:55] <FloodBot1> shree: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:56] <Ojoloco> Why I can't do it, guys?
[23:57] <escott> Ojoloco, not a detailed enough description of the problem to say
[23:57] <newb999> .
[23:57] <newb999> erncic: that's it
[23:57] <newb999> thank you
[23:57] <LennySabatier> I do not recall a file being created upon encryption of my home.
[23:57] <Ojoloco> escott, I can move a dir using my shell, but I can't do it using nautilus
[23:57] <Ojoloco> these are my permissions: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1430836/
[23:57] <Ojoloco> stark is sudoer
[23:57] <Krustyklimber> I went to pendrivelinux and it was only for windows
[23:57] <Krustyklimber> I'm lost
[23:58] <LennySabatier> I have a stupid question. if while mounting the encrypted directory they ask me for the passphrase, i put something, and the steps i'm following keep going. does that mean the passphrase is correct ?
[23:58] <escott> Ojoloco, move where? what bash command works?
[23:58] <escott> LennySabatier, maybe
[23:59] <SunMoonStar> Are there drivers for USB mice? I have a USB mouse i've connected to this old laptop and it only responds to left clicks, not right clicks or middle clicks or scrolling
