| Dougie187 | I'm having trouble using cloudprint to setup and use google's cloud print on a headless server | 00:06 |
| Dougie187 | Has anyone successfully used it before? | 00:07 |
| vicatcu | is this the appropriate channel to ask questions about network configuration in ubuntu 12.04? | 00:07 |
| yannsalaun | vicatcu: yes | 00:07 |
| Sheikhmak | okay so i enter copy mode with f7 according to the man page | 00:08 |
| Sheikhmak | but when you copy, it doesn't paste | 00:09 |
| Sheikhmak | can someone quickly test it and tell me what i'm missing? | 00:09 |
| vicatcu | ok so here's my story... I can tether my laptop to my phone's mobile hotspot to get an internet connection... I have a device that I can only connect to the internet through a wired connection, I have an ethernet hub... I want to set my laptop up to allow my wired-only device to get online through my mobile hotspot... everything uses DHCP / DNS... how do I do it? | 00:10 |
| vicatcu | my laptop is running ubuntu 12.04 lts | 00:10 |
| crackerjackz | im looking for a program that will allow me to change the settings of my grahpics card.. | 00:10 |
| eGetin | hello | 00:10 |
| eGetin | is it possible to get the social network system from 12.10 to 12.04? | 00:11 |
| eGetin | like twitter etc. | 00:11 |
| crackerjackz | this is the graphics card i have.. Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 | 00:11 |
| zlacker | crackerjackz: do you have the intel drivers intalled? | 00:12 |
| zlacker | maybe they will allow you to change the settings you want | 00:12 |
| crackerjackz | zlacker: i'm not sure which drivers it's using but i'm pretty sure it's using drivers that are already in the kernel | 00:12 |
| crackerjackz | because i didn't really have to do anything after i installed ubuntu on here everything just pretty much worked | 00:13 |
| zlacker | crackerjackz: so I would recommend you to download inter drivers and install them | 00:13 |
| zlacker | you are probably on generic drivers | 00:13 |
| crackerjackz | zlacker: are they in the repos? | 00:13 |
| zlacker | I am not sure, but I know they are on the intel website | 00:13 |
| crackerjackz | zlacker: jockey doesn't find anything to do with my graphics card | 00:14 |
| konbon | Hello everyone | 00:14 |
| zlacker | yeah, maybe you need to download them directly from intell and install manually | 00:14 |
| mopos | Hey guys, are there some verion mismatches between gnu autos and libtool on ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| konbon | I just went from ubunti 12.10 server to desktop using sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it finished. I logged in via tightvnc and it shows the UI but it has not Unity side bar or Gnome top panel. Is there a way to get unity working from this point? | 00:15 |
| konbon | has no* | 00:15 |
| zlacker | konbon: you can try removing unity and reinstalling it | 00:17 |
| vicatcu | here's a picture of what I'd like to do: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1bRziYQhV9VXmaEVd7N5ZWdCsxAwFT8YHtimlx2W0AVQ/edit | 00:17 |
| konbon | what is the command for that ? | 00:17 |
| vicatcu | can anyone help me accomplish that? | 00:17 |
| zlacker | http://askubuntu.com/questions/131016/how-can-i-remove-and-re-install-unity | 00:17 |
| zlacker | see if that helps you | 00:17 |
| konbon | Thanks | 00:18 |
| zlacker | vicatcu: I didnt understand you question properly I guess | 00:22 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, did check out my picture? https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1bRziYQhV9VXmaEVd7N5ZWdCsxAwFT8YHtimlx2W0AVQ/edit | 00:22 |
| zlacker | you are basically wanting the device which only works with cables to work through the thetered phone? | 00:22 |
| zlacker | Ohhh now I got it | 00:23 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, yes that's right | 00:23 |
| zlacker | well, you have to configure a DHCP/DNS server on the computer | 00:23 |
| zlacker | after everything is set up, you will have to point the device to the PC's IP | 00:23 |
| zlacker | so it will provide the device the IP (DHCP) and DNS | 00:24 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, lets take this one step at a time ... how do i know if I have DHCP/DNS server running on the computer? | 00:24 |
| zlacker | you can check the services to see if there are DHCP or DNS services running | 00:25 |
| vicatcu | also i was wondering if all i needed to do was set up a bridge as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces | 00:25 |
| banana-nut | good evening everyone, I have an issue with apt. I cannot get anything to install because something with python-uno | 00:25 |
| msdaisy | what does that mean banana-nut ? Are you getting a particular error message? | 00:26 |
| zlacker | vicatcu: honestly, I dont know if this would work... it makes sense | 00:26 |
| banana-nut | no matter what I do I get this http://pastebin.com/6i0SP47x | 00:26 |
| vicatcu | zlacker: here's the output of service --status-all https://gist.github.com/4301377 | 00:26 |
| banana-nut | apt-get install -f doesnt fix anything | 00:26 |
| zlacker | but I have never faced this situation, I can only assure the DHCP/DNS methods, but they are way harder to do | 00:26 |
| Dougie187 | When I'm trying to use the python cloudprint script, it won't print (when I print from another device) and I constantly get an error that it can't connect to the cloud service. Anyone have any tips for fixing it? | 00:26 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, i'm up for the dhcp/dns path | 00:27 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, so can you tell am i already running a dhcp/dns server? | 00:27 |
| banana-nut | cany anyone figure out what broke? I don'r really want to reinstall since this is a live server | 00:27 |
| banana-nut | but I need apt working | 00:27 |
| konbon | zlacker that did not work :( | 00:28 |
| zlacker | vicatcu: seems you are not | 00:28 |
| konbon | any one else know why Unity would not load after updating from ubuntu server to ubuntu-desktop? | 00:28 |
| vicatcu | zlacker, isn't that was dnsmasq is? | 00:28 |
| zlacker | banana-nut: whats the error? | 00:29 |
| konbon | i can see the background but there's no side bar or top bar | 00:29 |
| zlacker | oh sorry | 00:29 |
| zlacker | let me see it | 00:29 |
| konbon | I can right click and see a few options | 00:29 |
| banana-nut | this is the output http://pastebin.com/6i0SP47x | 00:29 |
| konbon | I might need to restart | 00:29 |
| heoyea | pull plug | 00:29 |
| zlacker | banana-nut: are you able to remove python and run -f? | 00:30 |
| Tech936 | Whats the story in ubuntu land? | 00:30 |
| banana-nut | like totally remove python? | 00:30 |
| zlacker | yeah, remove al related to python2.6 | 00:30 |
| zlacker | and reinstall | 00:30 |
| zlacker | so it will rebuild dependencies | 00:30 |
| banana-nut | Errors were encountered while processing: python-uno libapache2-mod-python | 00:31 |
| zlacker | vicatcu: hey, dnsmasq is not a server | 00:31 |
| banana-nut | it didnt get rid of it all | 00:31 |
| zlacker | it acts like a forwarder | 00:31 |
| Tech936 | Why not try repairing the | 00:31 |
| Tech936 | Woopz why not try repaing python? | 00:31 |
| vicatcu | zlacker: so i was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing#DHCP.2BAC8-DNS_server | 00:32 |
| konbon | can i have kde and unity installed in the same os? | 00:32 |
| bekks | konbon: Sure. | 00:32 |
| konbon | i feel like trying kde since unity failed. | 00:32 |
| vicatcu | zlacker: that's what put me on to dnsmasq ... what should i be doing if not that | 00:32 |
| konbon | i hate dedicated servers | 00:32 |
| konbon | such a pain to config them to a desktop ui | 00:32 |
| banana-nut | zlacker | 00:32 |
| banana-nut | I think this broke it more | 00:32 |
| * Tech936 highfive konbon | 00:32 | |
| konbon | :P | 00:33 |
| bekks | konbon: Using dedicated servers as a desktop introduces security problems. | 00:33 |
| Tech936 | Indeed | 00:33 |
| konbon | That's ok with me at this point | 00:33 |
| konbon | I just want this thing to show a damn GUI | 00:33 |
| konbon | Unity or what ever | 00:33 |
| Tech936 | What os? | 00:34 |
| konbon | Ubuntu 12.10 server | 00:34 |
| * bekks suggests learning on how to administer a server without a gui. | 00:34 | |
| konbon | just did the ubuntu-desktop update | 00:34 |
| konbon | [bekks]: I do know how. This is for a super noob who wants a UI | 00:34 |
| konbon | I'm comfortbale with non ui | 00:34 |
| Tech936 | Dude/dudet why not use the low gui | 00:34 |
| bekks | konbon: For a super noob, it is the worst idea to use a GUI on a server. | 00:35 |
| konbon | lol | 00:35 |
| konbon | [Tech936]: can i remove this ubuntu-desktop and start over?> | 00:35 |
| konbon | I just want to install ubuntu-desktop and virtualbox | 00:35 |
| konbon | that's all i need | 00:35 |
| Tech936 | Sure anything you have done start a fresh | 00:35 |
| bekks | virtualbox can be used perfectly without a gui. | 00:35 |
| Tech936 | Guessing the server is eth0 right? | 00:36 |
| bekks | Tech936: eth0 is a network interface. | 00:36 |
| WXZ | is the software centre a comprehensive list of all the things you have installed? | 00:36 |
| Tech936 | Well done skiddie wasent finished | 00:36 |
| konbon | yeah | 00:36 |
| konbon | i did the thing zlacker suggested and now i don't even have compiz installed correct | 00:37 |
| Tech936 | Is the network wired i wanted to know in case he'd get all this info and still have to configure the wireless | 00:37 |
| konbon | it now just shows the background. nothing else | 00:37 |
| konbon | it's connected to a network yeah | 00:38 |
| Tech936 | Dont need compiz | 00:38 |
| konbon | do i need to tell it to load unity once it's installed? | 00:38 |
| konbon | like with kde you need to do startx and startkde | 00:38 |
| konbon | is there one for unity? | 00:39 |
| vicatcu | zlacker: this looks interesting... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless | 00:39 |
| Tech936 | Just reboot the system and do sudo apt-get update and upgrade | 00:39 |
| konbon | ok | 00:39 |
| Tech936 | And then google for gui on ubuntu server then do what bekks would do and copy and paste | 00:40 |
| vicatcu | a little worrying that it's from ubuntu 7.04... wondering if there's a better way in 12.04... anyone? | 00:40 |
| konbon | all 0 on upgrade | 00:40 |
| * Tech936 pats self on back | 00:40 | |
| konbon | i did update and it did update some stuff but update has 0 on all | 00:40 |
| konbon | upgrade has 0 on all* | 00:40 |
| Tech936 | By the sounds of things in a nice way who ever installed ubuntu server is thick as two winblows machines lol | 00:41 |
| konbon | Tech936 you got time to teamviewer in and help a brotha out? | 00:41 |
| puppy_parade | oh. I got mplayer to spit out an error | 00:41 |

| nownot | i need major help with my raid setup, mdadm says inactive and I haven't a clue on how to fix it | 00:56 |
| escott | nownot, has a disk failed? | 00:56 |
| blami | is there way to boot livecd to cli? | 00:57 |
| nownot | i can see all disk in program Disks and all are ok | 00:57 |

| diverdude | is there any kind of public available machine which may be remote controlled via port 80? I am on a restricted network...and i need to get out of this network somehow so that i can do ssh from that place outside this network and remote control my server (via port 22 which is closed here) | 00:58 |
| escott | nownot, it may be that that is causing the array to fail. can start the array degraded | 00:58 |
| nownot | escott: so do mdadm -A /dev/md1 | 00:58 |
| escott | nownot, sure | 00:59 |
| maujhsn | msdaisy I'd like for you to take a look at this : http://pastebin.com/9t0ZF3A7 Do you have any clues to what is going on? | 00:59 |
| josy1982 | yeah yeah check it out new rosa linux desktop 2012 with pimped kde | 01:00 |
| escott | diverdude, you could go buy yourself some time on Amazon EC2 | 01:00 |
| nownot | escott: i get weird error mdadm: cannot open /dev/md/1_0: no such files or directory | 01:01 |
| diverdude | escott: ahh yeah thats a good idea | 01:01 |
| escott | nownot, what does mdadm --scan say | 01:01 |
| WXZ | is the software centre a comprehensive list of all the things you have installed? | 01:01 |
| escott | !clone | WXZ | 01:02 |
| ubottu | WXZ: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 01:02 |
| WXZ | escott: I want to go through the packages and reconsider if I want them reinstalled | 01:02 |
| nownot | escott: mdadm: --scan does not set the mode, and so cannot be the first option | 01:03 |
| WXZ | escott: so that's not a solution, I just don't want to go through installed in software centre only to find out there's stuff missing | 01:03 |
| escott | nownot, mdadm --detail --scan | 01:03 |
| nownot | escott: http://pastie.org/5537236 | 01:04 |
| escott | WXZ, i dont have an answer for you | 01:04 |
| WXZ | escott: ok, thank you | 01:05 |
| escott | nownot, i assume 1_0 is the one not working | 01:05 |
| nownot | escott: well i had md0 and md1, md1 is the one that isn't working | 01:05 |
| escott | nownot, i wonder if /etc/mdadm.conf is out off sync with the hardware in some way | 01:05 |
| nownot | escott: not sure where the 0_0 and 1_0 is coming from | 01:06 |
| escott | nownot, what does /proc/mdstat show right now | 01:06 |
| nownot | escott: http://pastie.org/5537242 | 01:08 |
| escott | nownot, the array you want to start is md127 not sure what the 0_0 is so I would "mdadm -A /dev/md127" | 01:10 |
| nownot | escott: /dev/md127 not identifie in config file | 01:11 |
| escott | nownot, what personality is 127 supposed to be | 01:12 |
| nownot | escott: personality? you mean something like 5 disk raid 5? | 01:12 |
| escott | yeah | 01:13 |
| nownot | escott: ^^ that 5 disk raid 5 | 01:13 |
| escott | nownot, what is strange about your mdstat is that it shows all disks as spares. what does mdadm --query /dev/sdb1 show | 01:13 |

| msdaisy | diverdude, just use a different port for the ssh server. You can make it anything over 1054. | 01:14 |
| heoyea | over 9000 | 01:15 |
| escott | nownot, try "mdadm --query --examine /dev/sdb1" | 01:16 |
| nownot | escott: http://pastie.org/5537267 | 01:17 |
| nownot | ess | 01:17 |
| nownot | escott: the drive this is listed as faulty is /dev/sdh | 01:17 |
| escott | nownot, then i would mdadm /dev/md127 --fail /dev/sdh --remove /dev/sdh | 01:19 |
| escott | nownot, as a side note. you should NEVER add raw devices to an array. always partition | 01:19 |
| nownot | yeah, i have no clue how that happened :X | 01:19 |
| escott | nownot, you don't want someone to walk off with a disk, plug it into windows and say "how nice an empty disk" | 01:20 |
| nownot | escott: mdadm: cannot get array inf0 for /dev/md127 | 01:20 |
| escott | nownot, yeah i dont get what is up with that. | 01:21 |
| escott | nownot, i know that things are intentionally harder once a disk fails because they dont want you inadvertantly running an array in degraded mode. but it shouldn't be this hard | 01:22 |
| nownot | escott: yeah if i could remote it, format, partition and add back …. but no | 01:22 |
| escott | nownot, maybe stop the array and rescan it back | 01:23 |
| nownot | escott: so mdadm -S /dev/md127 | 01:24 |

| nownot | escott: after stopping it mdstat shows my other raid but not this one | 01:26 |

| zeninguem | hi, does anyone know how to backup ubuntu data, before formating it | 02:00 |
| jrib | zeninguem: you mean the packages installed? Or general data? | 02:01 |
| Regat | hey, can somebody help me to run the grafic mode? | 02:01 |
| zeninguem | jrib: with packages | 02:01 |
| zeninguem | themes | 02:01 |
| zeninguem | etc | 02:01 |
| jrib | !clone | zeninguem | 02:01 |
| ubottu | zeninguem: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 02:01 |

| konbon | i have ubuntu 12.10 Server installed and wanted to get ubuntu-desktop with GUI | 02:05 |
| jrib | konbon: install the ubuntu-desktop package | 02:05 |
| konbon | I went through the process of installing it and rebooted the server | 02:05 |
| konbon | i did | 02:05 |
| jrib | konbon: ask on one line please | 02:05 |
| konbon | so, i installed tightvncserver to see if it all went well and it just shows the ubuntu default background with no unity sidebar or top panel | 02:05 |
| JamesJRH | Hi, I can't view YouTube videos in Chromium, I just see a black box instead of the player. I am in the HTML5 trial, I have the codecs, and I'm trying a video that works in Firefox (WebM). Any ideas? | 02:05 |

| === franl is now known as Guest7088 | ||
| konbon | How can i check that? | 02:06 |
| jrib | konbon: go to the server and log in | 02:06 |
| konbon | im in | 02:06 |
| jrib | konbon: and it works? | 02:06 |
| escott | konbon, is the monitor physically connected to the server? | 02:06 |
| konbon | yes it is | 02:07 |
| konbon | I'm connected through ssh on putty | 02:07 |
| jrib | erm | 02:07 |
| jrib | konbon: physically place your body in front of the the server and log into the server machine using the graphical login (lightdm) | 02:08 |
| konbon | The server is in france. I'm in California. It's an OVH server | 02:08 |
| escott | konbon, kayak.com | 02:09 |
| jrib | heh | 02:09 |
| jrib | konbon: is using unity a necessity or can it be some other graphical environment? | 02:09 |
| konbon | I'm using vnc to try and log in but it still just shows the desktop background with no menus at all | 02:09 |
| konbon | at this point it can be any | 02:09 |

| escott | konbon, you probably want to be running unity-2d instead of unity (3d/GLX) | 02:10 |
| konbon | probably | 02:10 |
| konbon | I have no clue which one the ubuntu-desktop defaults to | 02:10 |

| konbon | once that lubuntu is installed, how do i enable it to be the main one? | 02:12 |
| jrib | konbon: no idea; you'd have to check tightvnc documentation to see how it chooses what session to use. Unless somewhere here knows | 02:12 |
| konbon | Oh | 02:13 |

| konbon | going on 9 hours now. | 02:26 |
| konbon | I'm still at the same ssh windows as i started lol | 02:26 |
| JamesJRH | Sure it's not better to read up how to do VPS the proper way? | 02:27 |
| JamesJRH | Ie. with no GUI desktop. | 02:27 |
| JamesJRH | Just SSH. | 02:27 |
| konbon | To be honest, I tried searching for what I assume would be the right words, to get a vps set up but all i get are stores that sell vps | 02:28 |
| konbon | any suggestions? | 02:28 |
| JamesJRH | Um, I'm no expert, but how about KVM? | 02:28 |
| jrib | konbon: did you restart the vnc server after making the config change? | 02:29 |
| konbon | yes i did | 02:29 |
| konbon | i killed the process and restarted the process | 02:29 |
| jrib | konbon: what did you do to change the session? | 02:30 |
| konbon | I replaced gnome-session & with lubuntu-session& | 02:31 |
| DrGrov | Evening everyone | 02:32 |
| konbon | using sudo nano ~/.vnc/xstartup | 02:32 |
| escott | konbon, (A) sudo there is inappropriate | 02:32 |
| escott | konbon, (B) or ~ is wrong | 02:32 |
| konbon | It still took me to the xstartup though | 02:33 |
| jrib | lubuntu-session probably also wrong | 02:33 |
| DrGrov | I have some seriously choppy playback on Flash with 12.04. It worked well yesterday, both 720p and 1080p HD video playback was good. I got the flashplugin-installer update today and probably that did something. Running Firefox 17.0 as my main web browser. Could I easily check what flash components I have installed? | 02:33 |
| L3top | apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer | 02:34 |
| L3top | DrGrov: ^ | 02:34 |
| DrGrov | L3top: Okay. Will test to see what happens. | 02:34 |
| L3top | DrGrov: this will tell you what specific one you have installed and if another is available | 02:34 |
| jrib | konbon: try just "openbox &" instead just to see what happens... | 02:35 |
| escott | konbon, after you figure out if you are editing the correct file or not | 02:36 |
| jrib | konbon: make sure you have openbox installed on the server, but it should be if you have lubuntu. I don't know what command starts the lubuntu session | 02:36 |
| DrGrov | L3top: It tells me I have the installed as the candidate it offers. | 02:36 |
| jrib | konbon: right, see escott too | 02:36 |
| DrGrov | L3top: It happened on YouTube 720p and 1080p videos. I did a sigterm first and then a killall -9 switch on firefox after it "crashed". Rebooted afterwards, not tested yet YouTube videos again. | 02:37 |
| kevinch | can anybody recommend an easy to use backup system for my ubuntu server that will back up a windows and mac machine? | 02:37 |
| DrGrov | L3top: It seems "choppy" or how should I explain it. I turned off "Enable hardware acceleration" in the Settings menu on the Flash. | 02:37 |
| konbon | I know what I can do. Get my money back and not get into this Jolly mood of giving away free vps to people I know. | 02:37 |

| bkfitz | same thing? | 02:40 |
| kevinch | escott | 02:40 |
| kevinch | not necessarily backing up my ubuntu system itself | 02:40 |
| escott | kevinch, depends on what all you want to backup. i would go with rsync | 02:40 |
| kevinch | I want incremental backups | 02:41 |
| kevinch | like crash plan/time machine | 02:41 |
| L3top | DrGrov: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer=11.2.202.233ubuntu2* | 02:41 |
| DrGrov | L3top: Is there anything that can be done from within Firefox? Enabling/disabling some add-ons? I disabled the GNOME integration and some others. | 02:41 |
| DrGrov | L3top: So, you mean I should revert back to my old version. Okay, I will do that and see whether it gets better. | 02:41 |
| L3top | DrGrov: I would log off and log back on. | 02:41 |
| L3top | ++++ | 02:41 |
| escott | kevinch, rsync with --link-dest | 02:42 |
| DaemonicApathy | If I write a script to ssh into a machine on the local network, I assume the command after connecting will not be run until the ssh connection is broken. Is there a way around this? | 02:42 |

| bkfitz | It seems smbfs is deprecated? so how do I mount a smb share (external usb on my router) | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | use cifs now bkfitz ? | 02:47 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: is your only option smb? | 02:47 |
| bkfitz | ? | 02:47 |
| bkfitz | not sure... | 02:47 |
| DrGrov | L3top: By the way... It suggests also that I install xfs and x-ttcidfont-conf as well. How do I get them when I downgrade? | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/share andsoon | 02:48 |
| DrGrov | L3top: Or should I just perhaps install xfs and x-ttcidfont-conf first and then downgrade? | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | or is it \\ | 02:48 |
| L3top | I would just downgrade. | 02:48 |
| bkfitz | its a sweet new asus nt-n66u router... but in the admin it says "USB Application - Network Place(Samba) Share / Cloud Disk" | 02:48 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: ok i'll try that | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | smbfs has been replaced by cifs | 02:49 |
| bkfitz | I was able to access it in nautilus via "network" | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | samba is still ariund. ;-) | 02:49 |
| DrGrov | L3top: No worries, I take them first and then downgrade. | 02:50 |
| bkfitz | so samba is the library/app that allows you to mount cifs/smbfs shares? | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: so you can access it, why add to it? | 02:50 |
| bkfitz | I want a perminant mount point | 02:50 |
| bkfitz | so I can automate backups etc | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: if you networked loaded it, look in /etc/mtab , is there an entry? | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | !samba | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:52 |
| bkfitz | almoxarife: no... is mtab like the temporary version of fstab? | 02:53 |
| almoxarife | i dont like to cooperate with win if i dont have to | 02:53 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: yes, basic idea sound | 02:53 |
| bkfitz | almoxarife: so if I'm connected via nautlus just fine (properties of share are "movies (at bakprimary) on rt-n66u", should it be listed in mtab? | 02:54 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: i would think so, yes | 02:55 |
| bkfitz | huh... it's definitely 'mounted' bc when i right click it gives me the unmount option | 02:57 |
| escott | almoxarife, i thought gvfs handled those and they didnt appear in mtab. but i dont really know | 02:57 |
| bkfitz | what is proc/mounts | 02:58 |
| almoxarife | gvfs?? that could be , i dont use gvfs, so i cant even test it, escott ... | 02:59 |

| almoxarife | bkfitz: you have a network-mount of the drive and it is on your /home/user/some-name now? | 03:00 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: you do have /etc/mtab entries then? | 03:01 |
| bkfitz | well... in nautilus it just shows up under "network"... let me do a find | 03:01 |
| almoxarife | look at the file /etc/mtab bkfitz ... | 03:01 |
| bkfitz | almoxarife: that /dev/ reference was in proc/mounts | 03:01 |
| WXZ | how do I get software-center to show all installed apps? | 03:01 |
| WXZ | it only shows a fraction when you select the installed tab | 03:02 |

| WXZ | and I have no way of doing that so far | 03:04 |
| She153 | not sure what to do | 03:04 |
| She153 | do i need to install something for the video driver ? | 03:05 |
| Squarepy | She153, well yes, possible a propriety driver, for all the 3D juice | 03:06 |
| bkfitz | I did a find on / and only found a few records with name of share... this one of them /home/brian/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/smb-share:server=rt-n66u,share=laptop%20(at%20fitzbakprimary)-1c54e8d2.log | 03:06 |
| almoxarife | WXZ: you may have to use 'history' for that, if after initial install you are looking for some tell tale sign of what you have added, you may see some in 'local obsolete' | 03:06 |
| She153 | how can i go about that @ Squarepy | 03:06 |
| Squarepy | check whether system settings -> additional drivers gives an option | 03:07 |
| almoxarife | bkfitz: escott brought up gvsf, i dont know much about it | 03:07 |
| MrDyne | Is there a free Cpanel like web interface for ubuntu that can deal with e-mail, dns, ftp, lamp, domains, etc? | 03:07 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: will the local obsolete list be a) a complete 1:1 of what I installed b) a partial set of what I installed or c) a complete list of what I installed with a few extras? | 03:08 |
| devish | i am unable to use ubuntu one | 03:08 |

| devish | so this service is "do not touch" type? | 03:09 |
| Squarepy | KI4RO, :) | 03:09 |

| She153 | no i think i need something | 03:09 |
| She153 | besides a brain | 03:10 |

| dr_willis | no issues with u1 here. | 03:10 |
| Squarepy | She153, ? | 03:10 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: yeah, so there's no way to do it? | 03:10 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: other than with a time machine? | 03:11 |
| She153 | the game im playing starts up just fine , its just that it wont let me play because of the graphics , i need to install something for nvidia | 03:11 |
| almoxarife | WXZ: history will tell you what was installed since the initial, you can call that your installs i suppose | 03:11 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: just "gedit history" in terminal? | 03:12 |
| almoxarife | WXZ: no, history in 'synaptic' | 03:12 |
| dr_willis | She153: install the nvida-current package yet? | 03:12 |
| She153 | i dont think so | 03:12 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: exactly what I was looking for, suh-weet | 03:12 |
| dr_willis | nvidia-current | 03:12 |
| almoxarife | WXZ: not sure if it is a txt file | 03:12 |
| bkfitz | almoxarife: even more reason to get a samba mount working... don't want to have to rely on gnome virtual mounts... | 03:13 |
| Squarepy | nvidia is a bad word I gather | 03:13 |
| WXZ | almoxarife: and local/obsolete would be packages I installed from the internet | 03:13 |
| She153 | what do you mean | 03:13 |
| almoxarife | WXZ: yes, | 03:13 |
| WXZ | then I've got everything I need | 03:13 |

| KI4RO | dr_willis, When I try to upgrade my wife's system to 12.10 it tells me there is a problem with my graphics card (Nvidia). Would it help to upgrade the driver? | 03:15 |
| Squarepy | dr_willis, well wish I could say the same, lots of weird flash glitches, color of scale, etc.. | 03:15 |
| Squarepy | luckily Its not on all my future comps | 03:16 |
| Brewster | I'm just wondering if anyone here managed to install glx-diversions on 12.10 | 03:16 |
| She153 | still does not help me | 03:16 |
| Squarepy | She153, google? | 03:16 |
| She153 | i have ... | 03:16 |
| bkfitz | how do I escape spaces in the share name? | 03:16 |
| Brewster | it depends on a package "nvidia-installer-cleanup" which seems to not exist | 03:16 |
| Squarepy | ohoh | 03:17 |
| Braden` | Hello | 03:17 |
| bkfitz | \040? | 03:17 |
| Braden` | How would I use debbootstrap with ubuntu repositories on an ubuntu base system | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | bkfitz: correct | 03:18 |
| Braden` | I want to install some repos libs from the latest ver 12.10.1 on a system that runs 12.04 | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | She153: sudo apt-get install packagename | 03:18 |
| bkfitz | ugh... there are '(' in the share name.. | 03:18 |
| DrGrov | L3top: I think I figured it out. It is some kind of a bug with Unity. | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | bkfitz: mount the share to a nicer name perhaps. not identical to the shares name. | 03:19 |
| DrGrov | L3top: It seems like I had set up workspace corners to show up windows and desktop. That might have made it "crash" due to the fact it is buggy. | 03:19 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: yeah... here is what I have so far but it doesn't like the ( - sudo mount -t //rt-n66u/movies\040(at\040fitzbakprimary) /mnt/primarybakmovies | 03:20 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: the (at fitz...) part seems manditory from the router | 03:20 |
| She153 | thank you installing now , hope it solves my problems | 03:20 |
| dr_willis | bkfitz: it may be easier to make a fstab entry. | 03:20 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: do I need to be scared if the fstab entry is bad... don't want to reboot and have major issues | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | make the fstab entry.. try to mount it via mount.. if it fails.. fix it. ;) repeat | 03:21 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: still need to escape spaces and ( in the fstab entry right? | 03:21 |
| dr_willis | use noauto in fstab it wont mount at boot | 03:22 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: ok.... this will be a first | 03:22 |
| dr_willis | spaces become that 040 in fstab. not sure if that applies to the cli | 03:22 |
| djzn | anyone knows a workaround for the cursor size fix in unity/compiz ? | 03:24 |
| whoever | hi all hi am tring to add menu items with alacarte , and when i hit ok after setting the command icon, the item is not added to the menu , and there isn't an error | 03:28 |
| whoever | also running alacart with sudo | 03:28 |

| DrGrov | Still got the Flash issues on 12.04 with flashplugin-installer and the latest update, 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.04.1 | 03:39 |
| DrGrov | The screen freezes after around a minute on full screen YouTube 720p (probably also 1080p) videos. I disabled hardware acceleration. I tried to downgrade to 11.2.202.233ubuntu2 0 | 03:40 |
| AlienHunt | hello, is anyone around? | 03:41 |
| bkfitz | dr_willis: where would I find out how to escape parentheses in fstab? | 03:42 |
| DrGrov | But still did not work out at all. So I wonder what might be the case. Should perhaps a sudo apt-get --purge flashplugin-installer help out in this case and then do a downgrade? If I did the downgrade it kept asking me in Firefox 17.0 about additional software is needed to display the page properly and this it did not do with 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.04.1 installed. | 03:42 |
| dr_willis_ | bkfitz: im not sure you need to | 03:43 |
| bkfitz | ok | 03:43 |
| AlienHunt | does anyone know how to properly set up Ruby on Rails within Ubuntu 12.10? | 03:43 |
| AlienHunt | I'm not a total noob to Ubuntu, but it's a bit confusing with all the packages and libs and requirements | 03:44 |
| === Brewster[afk] is now known as Brewster | ||
| DrGrov | Is everyone using flashplugin-installer on 12.04 or is there some other option to use? | 03:47 |
| DrGrov | dr_willis_: How have you worked with Flash on your browser needs if I may ask? | 03:50 |
| Squarepy | DrGrov, chrome has buildin flash | 03:51 |
| KI4RO | Squarepy, But it doesn't work very well | 03:51 |
| Squarepy | well enough to not install flash system wide :) | 03:51 |
| KI4RO | Squarepy, I get weird sounds and frequently have to start FireFox to properly see YouTube and other videos | 03:52 |
| Squarepy | KI4RO, understood, but i don't need reasons to wish flash a slow death in hell :) | 03:53 |
| DrGrov | Squarepy: But I prefer Firefox to be honest. But I could surely go to Chrome again. | 03:54 |
| KI4RO | Squarepy, Understood LOL and I should have said hear instead of see | 03:54 |
| dr_willis_ | DrGrov: flash woks for me. no real issues | 03:54 |
| dr_willis_ | DrGrov: or i use flashdownloader, or flash-replacer-to-play-them-in-vlc type plugins | 03:55 |
| DrGrov | dr_willis_: Okay, could you tell me what you did and how? I am having issues with this latest Flash plugin version of flashplugin-installer that it updated for me. | 03:55 |
| === jono is now known as Guest95318 | ||
| dr_willis_ | DrGrov: i just did the apt-get install flashinstaller or whatever its called | 03:55 |
| Squarepy | KI4RO, ok, sure | 03:55 |
| DrGrov | dr_willis_: Okay. I did the same but the latest update of that has made my system crash down so that a sudo reboot from tty1 is the only thing that helps. Worked well with the version before the actual update. | 03:56 |
| === Brewster is now known as Brewster[afk] | ||
| DrGrov | Nobody else seems to have this Flash problem in Firefox in Ubuntu 12.04? Apparently I am stuck to get Chromium then it seems which I did not want to do. | 03:59 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | what problem are you having? | 04:00 |
| romy | hola | 04:00 |
| Otie | Does anybody know how to get Teamspeak 3 on ubuntu without using WINE to get the Windows version? | 04:00 |
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: I am having problems like this. | 04:00 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | listening | 04:01 |
| === VagJuice is now known as Pizza_Porn | ||
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: I used the flashplugin-installer on 12.04 and worked very well until the update of the flashplugin-installer today which made my system freeze and only thing that helps is a sudo reboot. | 04:01 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | it makes your whole system freeze? | 04:02 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | or just the browser? | 04:02 |
| almoxarife | DrGrov: if you have pinpointed the issue to flash-plugin then revert to the last good one | 04:02 |
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: Yes, it freezes my whole system. Worked well with the previous installment of the flashplugin-installer. | 04:02 |
| DrGrov | almoxarife: Yes but the issue then becomes that it wants to install missing plugins that I am "missing" when I downgraded to the latest flashplugin-installer that worked. | 04:03 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | did you report the bug? | 04:03 |
| === bkc__ is now known as bkc_ | ||
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: No, not yet. I have to register myself for the reporting. | 04:04 |
| Squarepy | DrGrov, flash is not worth it | 04:04 |
| DrGrov | Squarepy: To change to Chromium you mean? | 04:04 |
| almoxarife | DrGrov: i have not heard of flash-plugin 'plugins' , i have not hear of anything depending on 'flash-plugin' specifically | 04:04 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | DrGrov is there a specific PPA you could possibly remove from your update list so it will not bother you after you roll-back the driver? Did you check? | 04:05 |
| DrGrov | almoxarife: Well, I mean that I opened up http://tvrage.com and it did want me to install GNASH and some other plugin. | 04:05 |
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: No, that would remove a good PPA of the official Ubuntu repos. | 04:06 |
| Squarepy | DrGrov, to crash your system | 04:06 |
| almoxarife | DrGrov: gnash does not depend on 'flash-plugin' | 04:06 |
| DrGrov | almoxarife: Well but that is what it wanted me to add since it was "missing additional plugins". That is the message I got. | 04:06 |
| DrGrov | almoxarife: So, I did of course not enable those since it worked well previously. | 04:06 |
| DrGrov | Squarepy: Yes, that is true. Not a big deal anyhow but makes me wonder what happened. | 04:07 |
| DrGrov | almoxarife: So it would make it a Flash-hell then which I did not want at all. I will try to get Flash Aid for Firefox and see whether it gets the right version off Adobe then. | 04:07 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Which flash player install are you using? The firefox specific one or the adobe direct one? | 04:08 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | DrGrov | 04:08 |
| strange | hey guys my sound stopped working today | 04:08 |
| Jabo | Need help desperatly | 04:08 |
| Jabo | I just upgraded my laptop (Intel 2.6GHz 2GB Ram and Nvidia Gforce Gt 520M video card) to the new 12.10 quantal, now it just boots to a blank screen. Is there a way to boot to terminal mode, the root terminal in the recovery console won't allow me to install , upgrade or write to files, it only mounts in a read only mode and I do not get access to my files or anything else. If I can log in in terminal I may be able to install gnome-panel s | 04:08 |
| Jabo | o that I may choose gnome classic on login. As of this point my laptop is useless so any help would be greatly appreciated | 04:08 |
| FloodBot1 | Jabo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:08 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Jabo are you using a ATI graphics card? | 04:09 |
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: I am using the Adobe direct one, flashplugin-installer is what it is called from the repositories. | 04:09 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Try the firefox specific one from the ubuntu software center | 04:09 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | If that doesn't work, try the flash alternative called LightSpark | 04:09 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Jabo are you using a ATI graphics card? | 04:10 |
| Jabo | no prob I was unawar | 04:10 |
| Squarepy | DrGrov, new flash versions always cause trouble, its like a bad dog, that you decide to give up | 04:10 |
| DrGrov | k1ll3nt1m3: Okay, will I have to remove the flashplugin-installer from the repos first? | 04:10 |
| bkfitz | drwillis: you still around | 04:10 |
| DrGrov | Squarepy: Yes, some people give up. Not me. I keep on messing with this until I have it fixed. | 04:10 |
| Jabo | No I am using a Nvidia Gforce 520m | 04:11 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | that would be good you want to uninstall the previous flash then install the new one | 04:11 |
| bkfitz | Anyone know what this means when i try to mount a cifs share in fstab... this is the result I get when i run mount -a | 04:11 |
| bkfitz | http://pastebin.com/5HmnZUkS | 04:11 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Well on my desktop Jabo I have the same problem with ubuntu every time a new one comes out, give it about 3-6 months and they fix it. No issues on my laptop though. | 04:11 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Personally I'd recommend staying one update behind with ubuntu or sticking with LTS versions | 04:12 |
| Squarepy | DrGrov, :) | 04:13 |
| Jabo | Yes but what can I do in the meantime | 04:13 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | use 12.04 | 04:13 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | lol | 04:13 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Actually | 04:13 |
| Jabo | how do you go backwords | 04:13 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Damnit I remember now! | 04:13 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | You have to reinstall | 04:14 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | but I remember now | 04:14 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Jabo do you have a different monitor, or a projector, or something? | 04:14 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | I just remembered how I fixed this issue | 04:14 |
| Jabo | yeah I have an old crt | 04:14 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | the black screen is caused by your computer being set to default settings your newer monitor doesn't support | 04:15 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | I had the same problem, hooked up a older projector, fixed the settings and it worked fine on my main monitor | 04:15 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | So try your old crt if your lucky it can support the settings | 04:15 |
| Jabo | OK I'll give that a shot, let you know in a bit | 04:15 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | if not, well, sol man I worked on this issue for months with previous versions. | 04:15 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Thanks please let me know | 04:16 |
| Squarepy | k1ll3nt1m3, getting him to go to the attic :) | 04:17 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | possibly basement or closet. | 04:17 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | lol | 04:17 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Square do you program? | 04:18 |
| Jabo | nope, same problem | 04:19 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | damn | 04:19 |
| DouglasK | Say, does anyone know of a patch to bring back the dodge option to hiding the app launcher in Unity? | 04:20 |
| Squarepy | Jabo, might be there is no graphics support on the newer version | 04:20 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | he left | 04:20 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | yeah hes screwed until they add more drivers most likely | 04:21 |
| Squarepy | k1ll3nt1m3, 12.04 ftw | 04:21 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | 12.10 is annoying anyway | 04:21 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | yeah i'm on 12.04 | 04:21 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | installed it pro | 04:21 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | lol | 04:21 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | base system, then gui. For some reason runs a lot better then installing full version flavors | 04:22 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | think they add too much crap with full desktop versions | 04:22 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | was using just the terminal with irssi for irc chat for a while but wanted a gui to install magic 2013 with wine | 04:23 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | lol | 04:23 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | oh and elinks for text only web browser | 04:23 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | very fast | 04:23 |
| bkfitz | Anyone familiar with mounting a share in fstab??? | 04:23 |
| bkfitz | wondering what happens if share isn't available | 04:23 |
| RJ45 | attantion everyone, I have been a Ubuntu user for over 3 years now, but, since how much of an absolute JOKE Ubuntu has evolved into, I will be completely migrating to either Debian, Mint, or Fedora in a few weeks time. | 04:23 |
| RJ45 | attention* | 04:23 |
| ekemsend | hey guys | 04:23 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | you do know mint is still ubuntu correct? | 04:23 |
| ekemsend | so im a silly billy and just now learning linux | 04:24 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | and why is it a joke now? lol | 04:24 |
| ekemsend | ive done a couple distributions on linode | 04:24 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | sorry ekemsend i never messed with fstab | 04:24 |
| ekemsend | well | 04:24 |
| bkfitz | RJ45: sounds like you aren't really sure about that decision | 04:24 |
| ekemsend | im just curious what you guys recommend for a distribution for a mumble service and apache and sql | 04:25 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | RJ45 your just angry you'll never be optical. | 04:25 |
| ekemsend | they offer 12.10 64 bit | 04:25 |
| bkfitz | :) | 04:25 |
| ekemsend | but i am thinking this 64 bit may not be the best route | 04:25 |
| Squarepy | RJ45, that is a lot of choice | 04:25 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | if your running a server ekem 64 bit 12.04 not 12.10 would be best | 04:25 |
| RJ45 | KiLaHuRtZ: optical?, what does that mean? | 04:25 |
| ekemsend | alright thank you k1ll3nt1m3 | 04:25 |
| bkfitz | :) :) | 04:25 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | np | 04:25 |
| RJ45 | Squarepy: I'm almost certain it'll be Debian. | 04:25 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Debian is good, however ubuntu works smoother with drivers and netflix. | 04:26 |
| Squarepy | indeed I am keeping it save Debian scares me :s | 04:26 |
| Squarepy | safe | 04:27 |
| DouglasK | k1ll3nt1m3, where does one get Netflix for ubuntu? | 04:27 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | debian 6.0 just didn't work well for me at all... | 04:27 |
| RJ45 | Ubuntu has evolved into such a retarded joke though!, I mean, first the whole Desktop Environment goes all fugly, and now it even ships with ADWARE! | 04:27 |
| RJ45 | ugh | 04:27 |
| SierraAR | Does ubuntu have an equivalent to ms paint? | 04:27 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Use a different GUI, and you can remove the adware RJ45 | 04:27 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | DouglasK I can walk you through installing netflix on ubuntu if you want | 04:28 |
| RJ45 | k1ll3nt1m3: IT SHOULD NOT COME WITH ADWARE! | 04:28 |
| === Pizza_Porn is now known as brittnee | ||
| SierraAR | RJ45: No adware when I installed 12.10 or 12.04 that I can find | 04:28 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | I agree it shouldn't be opt-out instead of opt-in but thats how they pay some bills. But you can, simply opt-out. | 04:28 |
| DouglasK | k1ll3nt1m3, is it a native solution or is it wine based? | 04:28 |
| RJ45 | you can remove a 20 foot pole from ur ass, but it shouldn't be there in the first place! | 04:28 |
| Squarepy | RJ45, ubuntu has much to offer, these things are not show stoppers me thinks | 04:28 |
| bazhang | !adlens | RJ45 | 04:29 |
| ubottu | RJ45: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 04:29 |
| bazhang | RJ45, thats enough | 04:29 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | It's wine based but works perfect and was packaged together specifically for wine | 04:29 |
| RJ45 | bazhang: it still leaves traces of crap | 04:29 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | RJ45 watch the hak5 episode on it if you need more help. How to remove security flaws from Ubuntu 12.10 | 04:29 |
| RJ45 | bazhang: plus as I said, should not be there anyway | 04:30 |
| bazhang | RJ45, stop ranting here. last warning | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | or use 12.04 like a real man | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | lol | 04:30 |
| DouglasK | k1ll3nt1m3, sure ... if you can point me to a web page for it, I should be fine. Gonna put it onto an lubuntu box that has xbmc on it. | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Yeah I'm running ubuntu base system with lxde myself. | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | love it | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | one moment let me find it real quick foug | 04:30 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | er, Doug | 04:30 |
| DouglasK | Thanks! | 04:31 |
| DouglasK | I'm really liking xbmc on lUbuntu on my Zotax zbox. | 04:31 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Here you go DouglasK, they even have their own PPA | 04:32 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | http://www.iheartubuntu.com/ | 04:32 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Warning, I had to remove it after first install then re-install it for it to work for me on one computer, worked perfect first time on second computer. | 04:32 |
| Squarepy | just give me classical gnome-no effects and I sleep well | 04:33 |
| DouglasK | k1ll3nt1m3, thanks a ton! | 04:33 |
| heoyea | o | 04:33 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | np DouglasK | 04:34 |
| RJ45 | it was great being a hardcore Ubuntu user for so long everyone, but Ubuntu 10.10 onwards and everything just slowly turned into a rotting pile of King Kong's crap plummeting several miles to the earth embedding itself in the ground of the pit of despair. | 04:35 |
| FZombie | Howdy | 04:35 |
| RJ45 | ...so yeah, screw Ubuntu. | 04:35 |
| FZombie | RJ45, That's why I just did a mini.iso install of ubuntu | 04:35 |
| FZombie | chose my own packages | 04:36 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Yeah mini os install is awesome | 04:36 |
| Squarepy | RJ45 thanks for ventilating your opinion again | 04:36 |
| FZombie | One thing though, in the virtual machine at least, I installed x and fluxbox and pulseaudio-* but for some reason I can't get audio working. | 04:36 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | RJ45 stop ranting good god. It's Linux, it's freedom. Use ubuntu or don't. | 04:36 |
| DouglasK | Heh. 134 new packages for Netflix to work. :) | 04:36 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Are you sure it's enabled in your virtual machine FZombie? | 04:37 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Told you it's the real deal douglasK lol | 04:37 |
| FZombie | Yep. Sound works in the same vm if I install ubuntu main iso | 04:37 |
| DouglasK | Heh. I'll just add it as a menu item in xbmc and be good. | 04:37 |
| FZombie | tried googling it but got a lot of OLD topics that seem to be legacy | 04:37 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Sounds like it's not a VM issue, sounds like a software issue inside your VM then | 04:38 |
| FZombie | ya it's a puzzler | 04:38 |
| DouglasK | That was the only drawback of xbmc on Linux v Windows. Mind, $100+ tipped the balance firmly to LInux. | 04:38 |
| FZombie | are there still user/group issues with audio? | 04:38 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | gonna play some Steam afk | 04:38 |
| FZombie | thought that was done for in current versions but maybe that's it. audio rights? | 04:39 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | (on ubuntu) | 04:39 |
| aeon-ltd | FZombie: check basic stuff like - is it muted?, is the source good?, is there a master audio output control in the vm? | 04:39 |
| cnz | if i want to install just gnome2 not gnome3 do I do apt-get install gnome-classic or gnome2 | 04:39 |
| FZombie | not muted, checking right now to see if root can access sound | 04:39 |
| dr_willis_ | DouglasK: i had that netflix on ubuntu package somehow go wile and set the netflix/firefor browser in wine, to be my default browser... which really confused me. ;) | 04:43 |
| FZombie | cnz, have you seen the mate desktop? | 04:43 |
| cnz | FZombie no | 04:43 |
| FZombie | http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download , It's a good fork. | 04:44 |
| cnz | right on but I was asking about gnome not mate :) | 04:44 |
| FZombie | mate is a really good gnome2 fork | 04:45 |
| DouglasK | dr_willis, this seems to be a full all-in-one kinda thing. Will let ya know how it worked out. | 04:45 |
| cnz | I don't like forks | 04:45 |

| FZombie | I thought gnome2 was a closed project and no longer recieves updates, I could be wrong, I don't know what the gnome-classic package does | 04:48 |
| FZombie | nerxgas, I think right now you should use the 'top' command in a terminal window | 04:50 |
| FZombie | start to monitor your resources | 04:50 |
| FZombie | the extra gb will never hurt you but you should figure out what you are doing with the machine and if it's ever going over 1g into swap space. | 04:51 |
| nerxgas | FZombie, holy crap, i'm using all my memory | 04:51 |
| nerxgas | 260mb swap memory being used | 04:52 |
| nerxgas | no wait | 04:52 |
| nerxgas | 260mb available 16 used | 04:52 |
| FZombie | I run around 16-32gb on my machines becuase I run virtual machines and need the space. Most people with 32bit cpus go for 3gb memory and most 64bit people love 4-8gb usually around 6. | 04:52 |
| almoxarife | nerxgas: can you pastebin the output of 'top'? the terminal command 'top' | 04:53 |
| almoxarife | !pastebin | 04:53 |

| FZombie | I'd, if possible, run at least 3gb | 04:54 |

| FZombie | my friend's netbook has a dual core 1.6ghz with 1gb ram in it, he did a minimal debian install with fluxbox to get the most out of it. He still runs 775mb | 04:56 |
| dr_willis_ | if you want mil-spec secure deletion... no ;) | 04:56 |
| dr_willis_ | but thats overkill | 04:56 |
| FZombie | a few ways to remove files that are deleted are to spam it with dev random or zero | 04:56 |
| FZombie | a few passes of random and zero using dd would do it well enough | 04:57 |

| almoxarife | i have kde with pim running in the background, i am at 640meg! , gnome doing nothing at 720meg is not right! | 04:57 |
| FZombie | or how about using ubuntu's LVM on your next install have it encrypt and use the whole disk | 04:57 |
| nerxgas | i dont like kde | 04:57 |
| nerxgas | i used to like kde back in 2002 | 04:58 |
| FZombie | almoxarife, i'm assuming like my buddy's system that's with browsers and apps open. | 04:58 |
| almoxarife | nerxgas: its not about what you like, it is about where all that ram you are using is being wasted on | 04:58 |
| psusi | hdparm --security-erase is easier and faster than that | 04:58 |

| tekoholic | Anyone know how I might set up a 10" USB (displaylink) monitor on 12.10? I'm aware of the diff's since 12.04, can't find any current docs, and have tried everything I can think of... | 04:59 |
| tekoholic | This will be for a single-display setup, NOT dual-head | 04:59 |
| FZombie | I hate those usb displays | 04:59 |
| tekoholic | FZombie: As do I... I'd just gotten familiar enough with the old way of doing things that I could set it up in 10-15 after install, and they go and change the whole system! | 05:00 |
| FZombie | I had 2 broken in the box, the next one lasted a week then died. | 05:01 |
| FZombie | store said it was on sale and couldnt be returned but my credit card company said otherwise | 05:01 |

| FZombie | often times I find grabbing a mainline kernel helps in odd usb devices or strange new devices https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds but as far as X is concerned while it was working for a week I just plugged it in and it mirrored the main screen without configuration. | 05:04 |

| Guest67535 | what is the best linux distro for encrypting child porn? | 05:05 |

| tekoholic | They, other than lists of modules linked in, are the only references to "udl" in dmesg | grep udl... | 05:14 |
| tekoholic | FZombie: I'm not, yet, attempting to set up the touchscreen portion, just the display (xorg.conf, before the change). The touchscreen always seems to work, although I've got to reverse the right-left axis | 05:15 |
| FZombie | its gotta be some calibration and xorg thing, i think the drivers working | 05:15 |
| tekoholic | That's what I figured, but how now that the displaylink driver's been replaced by udl in-kernel? | 05:16 |
| tekoholic | That's what's currently got me thrown off | 05:16 |
| FZombie | I don't know becaues the initial google-fu takes us back to 10.xx ubuntu and stuff has changed since then and im not going to search deeper | 05:17 |
| tekoholic | FZombie: No worries. I've searched high and low, and have most of those 10.xx pages memorized anyhow...lol | 05:18 |

| DrGrov | Does Chromium have Flash enabled by default without needing flashplugin-installer from the repos? | 05:48 |

| DrGrov | heoyea: Okay, I found on Ubuntu Tweak both Chromium and Google Chrome. | 05:49 |
| DrGrov | If I take Chromium from the official 12.04 repos, will it add the updates as well for further releases/updates of Chromium? | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | you can install both DrGrov | 05:50 |
| heoyea | DrGrov: yes u can get updates | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | theres ppas for newer versions also | 05:50 |
| DrGrov | dr_willis: Okay, I will enable the PPA:s from Ubuntu Tweak then. What you reckon to be the biggest difference? I get Flash by default in both? | 05:50 |
| heoyea | less google tracking thats about it | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | DrGrov: no idea on chromium.. id try google chrome | 05:52 |
| DrGrov | dr_willis: Okay, I will enable the stable repos then for Google Chrome. Thank you. | 05:52 |

| spaghettiknight_ | when im tring to install the ubuntu 12.04 32 bit i keep getting a "no such file or directory" error | 05:53 |
| heoyea | DrGrov: chromium is the open source version of chrome, so is less tracking =D | 05:53 |
| DrGrov | heoyea: Do I need to keep my Google account somehow synchronized with Chromium or Chrome all the time? Or is that just bookmark syncing if I want to have that? | 05:54 |
| DrGrov | heoyea: Since it is Google-made. Not too fond of having my Google account all the time connected everywhere LOL | 05:54 |
| heoyea | DrGrov: u dont have to sync if u dont want to | 05:55 |
| DrGrov | heoyea: Okay. Do I need to give my Google credentials somehow when installing? | 05:55 |
| heoyea | DrGrov: nope is open source | 05:56 |
| DrGrov | heoyea: The same goes for both Chromium and Chrome? | 05:56 |
| heoyea | DrGrov: yea u dont need to sync anything | 05:57 |
| DrGrov | heoyea: Good good. Then I will install Chrome to begin with. I am a bit of a paranoid :D | 05:57 |

| fedor | I mean to use wired connected through usb-cable to have INTERNET in my android4.0.4-based smartphone | 07:08 |

| BlackDalek | how do I make installed apps appear in the list of available "open with" > "other applications"? | 07:09 |
| ga_sk8er | any idea why "su" says my authentication failed" when i enter my password | 07:09 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: to really test the password, try log in as root | 07:10 |
| ga_sk8er | i havent done linux in so long...i forget the ocmmand to do root | 07:11 |
| fedor | that is the thing about it. Wherever i tried to find something about it yesterday it was useless. There is no way to do it in Ubuntu. The same is said by HTC-folks (that is the brand I am using). So they say that without HTC-synk it is impossible to perform such a thing, and HTC-synk is n/a in any of linux distributions. So I think the problem is solved. | 07:11 |

| aeon-ltd | CrazyZurfer: yes ubuntu has hibernate | 07:15 |

| CrazyZurfer | aeon-ltd: the only thing I see is suspend and shutdown | 07:16 |
| fedor | Suspend it is | 07:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | suspend is different from hibernate | 07:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | are different things | 07:17 |

| fedor | http://nikunjlahoti.com/2012/10/31/enable-hibernation-on-ubuntu-12-10/ | 07:17 |
| CrazyZurfer | suspends, puts everything on RAM, so it consumes energy and electricity and cut trees for it, lol. And hibernate puts everything on the HDD, so it doesn't | 07:17 |
| aculich | ga_sk8er: i would recommend 'sudo su -l' rather than 'sudo -s' | 07:17 |
| aeon-ltd | i hope the tree thing is a joke | 07:18 |
| CrazyZurfer | thanks fedor | 07:18 |
| CrazyZurfer | yup, a joke. but a true joke | 07:18 |
| aculich | fedor: if you use 'sudo -s' you'll inherit some things from the user environment | 07:18 |
| aculich | fedor: if you do 'sudo su -l' you'll get a login shell as root | 07:18 |

What is really strange is that all is fine and splandid using standart console (Ctrl+Alt+T) there when I need to install some updates or doing changes my password getting received without any questions (I mean using sudo command). What I thought is that probably pam-auth service is crashed but checking this I've created new user 'test' (sudo useradd test -->> sudo passwd test -->> test) whoes able to login i | 07:34 |

| znejk | dr_willis, nope | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | if the flash drive was 'sdf' you would image the iso with a command similer to..... | 07:39 |

| rhin0 | app/browser specific .. maybe somebody else knows | 08:37 |
| rhin0 | its more of an amazon site issue I think | 08:38 |
| rhin0 | maybe amazon forum amazon help channel .. is it related to firefox | 08:38 |
| auronandace | rhin0: no, he means in unity | 08:38 |
| rhin0 | "data collection" .. what data, how | 08:38 |
| koushik | Nope, actually data are fed into amazon that i typed to search in unity | 08:38 |

| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: what video chip do you use? | 08:49 |
| rhin0 | rajmahendra: you have to generate xorg.conf | 08:49 |
| tozen | ActionParsnip: Ill paste all text here ok? | 08:49 |

| tozen | ActionParsnip: I've recognised yesterday afternoon is I cannot login into text console using Ctrl+Alt+F1 keys combination. Well I see the console and prompt but trying to enter using my systems account name and password for the root I receiving login cancelation. What is really strange is that all is fine and splandid using standart console (Ctrl+Alt+T) there when I need to install some updates or doing changes my password getting received witho | 08:52 |
| tozen | ut any questions (I mean using sudo command). What I thought is that probably pam-auth service is crashed but checking this I've created new user 'test' (sudo useradd test -->> sudo passwd test -->> test) whoes able to loginin text console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) without a problem. Would smbd can help me to sort it out,please? Sorry for my eng. Here is /var/log/auth.log without and with 'test' user: http://pastebin.com/7S84u7sS | 08:52 |
| rajmahendra | rhin0, how can i generate xorg.conf ? | 08:57 |
| heoyea | reboot | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tozen: logging in as root isn't advised or supported | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tozen: login as your user and run: sudo -i | 08:59 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: Just use a text editor, something like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:00 |
| tozen | ActionParsnip: I can't login there because of system doesn't receive my login there (Ctrl+Alt+F1). I'm typing my login name tozen same as for terminal emulator (Ctrl+Alt+T) and password as I'm using for sudo but cannot login in cause of failure as log file says | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | tozen: do you have an ssh server installed and running? | 09:05 |
| bekks | tozen: As long as you can type something, the system actually receives your login. Do you use the your username for login in, and not "root"? | 09:05 |
| dr_willis | tozen: you are autologging into x? or do you enter tozan/password there also? | 09:05 |
| tozen | ActionParsnip: emmm...I think so not | 09:06 |
| tozen | bekks: Im using my username to login there | 09:06 |
| bekks | tozen: And whats happening? Which message do you get? | 09:07 |
| tozen | dr_willis: yes I'vegot autologging activized now | 09:07 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, i am not sure what the file contain | 09:07 |
| rajmahendra | ActionParsnip, any idea you got from the output ? | 09:07 |
| tozen | bekks: Login incorrect | 09:07 |
| === andrew is now known as Guest35025 | ||
| bekks | rajmahendra: Why do you want to create it then? | 09:08 |
| dr_willis | tozen: at a tweminal under x, tty the command 'login' see if tozan can login that way. (this is just a test) | 09:08 |
| bekks | tozen: And do you use the password for your user? | 09:08 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, when i try to run secondlife in ubuntu 12.10 i am gettign this error http://pastebin.com/kwgu6paJ | 09:09 |
| === Orbit is now known as Guest72316 | ||
| tozen | bekks: of course Im using password for myself | 09:10 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: You are using a beta of secondlife. What do you want to do in your xorg.conf and why do you suspect it to be helpful? | 09:10 |
| tozen | bekks: same pass as Im using for sudo for example | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rajmahendra: i was letting you. I'm at work presently so don't have a bunch of time free | 09:11 |
| tozen | dr_willis: doesn't works same error | 09:12 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, when i use ubunto 11 i got same issue someone tole to created one aand it worked after i install 12.10 it stopped wroking | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | tozen: now thats interesting.. do you have ssh installed? | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | tozen: if so try 'ssh localhost' | 09:12 |
| tozen | guys maybe the problem is that in users accounts setting Im Administrator? | 09:13 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: So whats the filename you are running to run secondlife? | 09:13 |
| rajmahendra | secondlife | 09:13 |
| bekks | tozen: Without being administrator, you wouldnt be able to use sudo ;) | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | tozen: that shouldent matter.. unless the account is 'locked out'/disabled | 09:13 |
| tozen | dr_willis: I don't know about ssh. Never been installed or launched it. | 09:14 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, SecondLife-i686-3.4.2.267137 | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | i bet if x was not autologging in.. youw would be really stuck | 09:14 |
| tozen | bekks: thx | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | so.. sudo works, login at console fails, 'login' command at terminal fails. | 09:15 |
| tozen | dr_willis: thx now i know little bit more ;) | 09:15 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: Did you take a look at that "README-linux.txt" as mentioned in the last line? | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | i bet if you logged out of X it would fail to let you back in | 09:16 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, yes i tried something its says but still its not working. | 09:16 |
| rajmahendra | i even tried phonenix viewer also. | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | tozen: could try just changeing your passwd with the passwd command.. | 09:17 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: "tried something" and "not working" is far too generic to be somehow helpful. | 09:17 |
| tozen | dr_willis: well login in terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) works fine but login in text console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) fails | 09:17 |
| bekks | tozen: Did you check wether your user account is disabled? | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | tozen: the 'login' command at terminal fails? or do you mean somthing else at the terminal? | 09:17 |
| elena-IK | I'm installing 12.04 from alternate cd. I want to write grub to the boot partition's boot record, but I get an error: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda5' failed. This is a fatal error." | 09:18 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, i tried both both bit build and also i tried to download slvoice dirver etc. | 09:18 |
| rajmahendra | but nothing worked | 09:18 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: Sorry, please rephrase your last sentence. I am unable to parse it. | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | elena-IK: why do you want it on sda5 and not sda? | 09:18 |
| elena-IK | dr_willis: because I don't want to overwrite the truecrypt boot loader | 09:19 |
| tozen | dr_willis: I mean I'm able to use sudo in terminal with admin password to get soft or updates installed but I cannot login text console after dropping out of X server | 09:20 |
| rajmahendra | I tried both 32 and 64 bit binary also i tried to download slvoice driiver but its not working | 09:20 |
| rajmahendra | i am getting same error | 09:20 |
| tozen | bekks: How can I do it, please? | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | i will bbl. | 09:20 |
| bekks | rajmahendra: Then did you read the last few lines of the error message, and did you try the --sync option? | 09:20 |
| rajmahendra | bekks, you mean secondlife --sync ? not yet | 09:22 |
| bekks | tozen: Execute "cat /etc/passwd" in your terminal, and look out for the line starting with your username. You will see your username followed by a : followed by something else. Is it a ! or something else (dont tell us what it is, just wether it is a ! or not). | 09:22 |

| Guest35025 | Run boot-repair with grub. W8 will not load faster. | 09:47 |

| thoonai | who0ami: why ubuntu server? | 09:58 |
| bekks | tozen: You cant reset a password using passwd, you just can set a new one. And it will tell you wether you mistyped the old password or wether the new passwords do not match - which both leads to password unchanged. | 09:58 |
| bekks | who0ami: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 09:58 |
| who0ami | i only want to learn server | 09:59 |
| decci | Any idea | 09:59 |
| bekks | who0ami: Then do NOT install a GUI like XFCE at all. | 09:59 |
| trapni | who0ami, on server you don't need a desktop.... | 09:59 |

| bekks | who0ami: Then why do you want a server? | 10:00 |
| fnoyanisi | decci : try software center :) | 10:00 |
| trapni | who0ami, whether or not a linux is "treated" as a server absolutely depends on simply how u use the linux. every linux can be a server | 10:01 |
| who0ami | to make a website and other like vps | 10:01 |
| thoonai | who0ami: if you need a graphical suite use xubuntu else server for non gui applications | 10:01 |

| blaz_ | bekks problem is i cant watch tv and surf the internet simultaneusly... | 10:01 |
| bekks | tozen: Then why do you think the message "password unchanged" appears when you do not change the password...? | 10:01 |
| bekks | blaz_: Why not? | 10:01 |
| who0ami | but server version is better the software was included when installed | 10:01 |
| bekks | who0ami: Thats nonsense. | 10:02 |
| bekks | who0ami: The software is exactly the same. | 10:02 |

| bekks | decci: Yes. | 10:02 |
| decci | bekks: okie | 10:02 |
| who0ami | but must install one by one , and my bandwidth limited | 10:03 |
| blaz_ | bekks i think its something to do with, when i have the lan cable inserted, ubuntu automatically tries to go to the internet via the lan cable,... but has a staic ip and is on a video port of the modem | 10:03 |
| bekks | who0ami: You have to do exactly the same on "server". | 10:03 |
| bekks | blaz_: Then you have to manually configure your connections, not using NetworkManager. | 10:03 |
| thoonai | bekks: in the server distro apache and the other services are already packeged | 10:03 |
| thoonai | who0ami: he still right | 10:04 |
| bekks | thoonai: In the default server, there is nothing included but ssh. | 10:04 |
| bekks | thoonai: Because Ubuntu does not know which services you are going to use. | 10:04 |
| tozen | bekks: anyway Ctrl+Alt+F1 saying login uncorrect | 10:04 |
| who0ami | no, i just installed today | 10:04 |
| thoonai | bekks: really, thanks ;) | 10:04 |
| bekks | who0ami: And you still have to configure all your services, and download updates for every single one of them. The software is exactly the same. | 10:05 |
| who0ami | no ... but i will try to update | 10:05 |
| thoonai | who0ami: you should also take something like lighty or nginx for your first steps i web developing and use apache sql things when needed | 10:05 |
| bekks | who0ami: Yes. The software IS the same. | 10:06 |
| who0ami | LAMP | 10:06 |
| bekks | who0ami: Then you have to configure apache, mysql, php/perl to your needs. | 10:06 |
| fnoyanisi | decci : search for hardware benchmark | 10:06 |

| newhoa | In my BIOS it states at boot that my CPU temp is anywhere from 40-46c. If I check lm-sensors in Ubuntu, it shows it as low... 20c range. At 100% CPU load, it doesn't even reach 40c. I wasn't sure what to think... but now it shows it idling at 19c. That's kind of not believable to me. | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | thoonai: I'd use a light desktop, like LXDE on the RaspPi | 10:50 |

| bekks | blaz_: Thats the expected result when deleting the default route. Set a new route for IPTV and a new default route for surfing. | 10:51 |
| bekks | newhoa: Yes, in most cases. | 10:51 |
| thoonai | ActionParsnip: I need the screen not go blank, ecause it has to run image shows | 10:51 |
| thoonai | newhoa: or bios | 10:51 |
| newhoa | Or does the MB control the fan speed based on any information Ubuntu would sent to it? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | thoonai: I do that with an xorg.conf file | 10:51 |
| thoonai | ActionParsnip: ok | 10:52 |

| newhoa | bekks: I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with Arctic Silver compound. I've used both before on different CPUs and never gotten close to this. I would think I'd need a water cooler or something for that. | 11:06 |
| bekks | newhoa: The compound is irrelevant mostly - And unless you have an idle temperature of > 50°c I wont even waste a single cent for a new cooler. | 11:07 |
| newhoa | bekks: Normally I would be very excited... but the discrepancy between the temp in the bios (45c) and what Ubuntu is reporting (42c is the highest I've gotten it so far - 15 minutes at 100% CPU) is worrying me. | 11:07 |

| llutz | newhoa: even a watercooler wouldn't cool down your CPU below the temperature of the surrounding air | 11:08 |

| bekks | manners: sudo apt-get autoremove | 11:14 |
| bekks | newhoa: It uses the raw settings the sensors provide. | 11:15 |

| ActionParsnip | eutheria: you'll need the universe repo enabled | 11:55 |
| Chathurga | Hey guys you probably get this a lot but I add a custom repo with proposed fixes to compiz and it's screwed up. All I want to do is remove those new versions from the package manager so it just installs the old versions | 11:56 |
| eutheria | version 20 is far behind | 11:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Chathurga: install ppa-purge and use it to remove the ppa address | 11:56 |
| rayco | Hello i've a problem | 11:56 |
| eutheria | ah i found a ppa with version 23 | 11:56 |
| Chathurga | I can't figure out what it's ppa address is, I've tried all combinations of I can think of haha | 11:57 |
| rayco | when i want to install a program with software center, it said that I can't install in universe, I didn't know why.. | 11:57 |
| Chathurga | is there a way of finding out exactly what its name is? | 11:57 |
| MonkeyDust | eutheria this is my chromium version Version 22.0.1229.94 Ubuntu 12.10 (161065) | 11:57 |
| eutheria | MonkeyDust, mine too, but i found a 23.xxx | 11:57 |
| eutheria | it is just i want two browsers | 11:58 |

| ActionParsnip | rayco: enable the repo in software centre | 11:59 |
| rayco | and how i enabled it? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | eutheria: duckduckgo has a !ppa bang. Dead handy :) | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | rayco: in the other sources tab | 11:59 |
| eutheria | ah good ole duckduck | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | eutheria: very | 11:59 |

| Chathurga | Where is the global package list stored, can I manually delete items out of it? | 12:00 |
| bekks | Chathurga: Dont do it, it will most likely break your package manager. What are you trying, actually? | 12:01 |
| Chathurga | Added a repo (vanvugt-compiz-preproposed-precise) and it fetched versions of compiz from there. All I want to do is make package manager just look for the orignal files not from my custom repo | 12:02 |
| rayco | I don't fount the tab. | 12:03 |
| Chathurga | But even if I remve the repo the new versions stay there. Probably a really simple fix but I can't get it! | 12:03 |
| alexxxxxxa | hi guys | 12:03 |
| alexxxxxxa | I need help. My wifi stops working sometimes without a reason. I checked a router, everything is ok. The problem is solved when I restart PC. | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | alexxxxxxa: which wifi chip? | 12:04 |
| alexxxxxxa | it's usb netgear w3100 | 12:05 |
| robertzaccour | alexxxxxxa, I recently bought a laptop and the wireless card isn't compatible, yet. Obviously I returned it right away. | 12:05 |

| robertzaccour | discovered, No but its on skype.com | 12:08 |
| almoxarife | Chathurga: synaptic allows for choosing from a particular 'repo/ppa' | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | discovered: in the partner repo, it is | 12:08 |
| discovered | ActionParsnip, Is that version 4.x ? | 12:09 |
| discovered | or the old one? | 12:09 |
| Sheikhmak | so I decided to do a screen cast to show i wasn't crazy and I was really pressing the keys required, like ctrl - a ] , so I installed screencast, and screenkey, and then I notice, my keyboard, switches ctrl, and alt, that's nuts | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | discovered: or you can grab the deb from the skype website, same thing | 12:09 |
| Chathurga | Is there any way to just wipe the entire package list and make it fetch it again? | 12:09 |
| Chathurga | but since I removed the new repo it wont pull down from there | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Chathurga: I have a script for it :) | 12:09 |
| alexxxxxxa | ActionParsnip, are you willing to guide me in solving my problem? | 12:09 |
| almoxarife | Chathurga: via apt-get 'purge' , via synaptic 'refresh' | 12:10 |
| Sheikhmak | a simple unplug and replug did it, that's so weird | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Chathurga: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage | 12:10 |
| almoxarife | Chathurga: via apt-get 'update' , via synaptic 'refresh' , not purge | 12:10 |
| discovered | ActionParsnip, Yeah i did ... But skype keep crashing whenever i try to make call ... Perhaps bug | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | alexxxxxxa: thats the adapter, not the chip | 12:10 |
| ActionParsnip | alexxxxxxa: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you should see a line that details the wifi chip | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Chathurga: wipes all package knowledge, then redownloads them all. | 12:12 |

| ActionParsnip | almoxarife: ndiswrapper...not seen that for a while. Seems the chip is a broadcom... | 12:13 |

| bazhang | almoxarife, see above | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | alexxxxxxa: does it not use the usual broadcom driver method? | 12:14 |
| alexxxxxxa | If I'm understanding correctly, I had to install ndiswrapper and to install windows driver | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | alexxxxxxa: is there o native driver? | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | *no | 12:15 |
| alexxxxxxa | I dont think so, I checked | 12:15 |
| ubkrux | you could try those b43 drivers no ? | 12:16 |

| ikonia | Dreamscape: it's not a good idea to do that | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Enkki: yes, you set that only on the client. Its not a server config | 12:51 |
| ikonia | Dreamscape: also the 192 address is a non-routable internet address, so I don't know why you think that address has access to the internet, but the other one doesn't | 12:51 |
| Dreamscape | ikonia eth0 has a gateway but iv left eth1 without one | 12:52 |
| ikonia | Dreamscape: it doesn't look like a gateway | 12:52 |
| ikonia | Dreamscape: I suspect your routing table is also messed up | 12:52 |
| Enkki | ActionParsnip, ah ok, but isn't there a method to set it on my samba/vpn server ? I can't ask all the clients to edit their config files. | 12:53 |
| bekks | ikonia: Which is not true. 192.168.0.0/16 is not routed, not th entire 192.0.0.0/8 | 12:53 |

| ikonia | ??? | 12:54 |
| almoxarife | rmannibucau: install wine | 12:55 |

| bekks | ikonia: The difference I wanted to clarify is "192 is not routable" and "192.168 is not routable". | 12:55 |
| ikonia | bekks: I didn't say 192 wasn't routable | 12:55 |
| ikonia | bekks: I said "THE" 192 address isn't routable | 12:56 |
| rmannibucau | almoxarife, not a bad idea, always forget it since it was never working for real apps but for a bat it works. thks ;) | 12:56 |
| almoxarife | rmannibucau: that will still depend on what the bat tries to call up | 12:56 |
| rmannibucau | almoxarife, just a script to start some java command | 12:58 |

| ubottu | almoxarife: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 13:02 |

| rmannibucau | always better to add it, otherwise just explicit it when you exec it "bash myscript.sh" | 13:03 |
| auronandace | almoxarife: it makes you aware that ubuntu uses dash, so if you need bash then put the line at the top of your scripts | 13:04 |

| SystemParadox | afternoon. I am trying to use an ubuntu cd to fix and rearrange the partitions on my disk. It all worked fine for the first step, but now the liveCD has a kernel panic on boot to do with setting up the rootfs. I'm pretty sure it's because it's trying to use the swap on my disk but it's messed up. How can I prevent the liveCD from using my swap partition? The noswap kernel option doesn't work.

| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| eGetin | compdoc: yes but does it fix the complete lockout for a moment? | 13:51 |
| eGetin | or was it just caused by remounting? | 13:51 |
| srhb | Is there a tool to grab a complete iso of a dvd aside from dd (which seems to fail because of encryption or something) | 13:52 |
| compdoc | read only means lockout. You should look at the drive's health with Disk Utility. Read it's SMART info. Any reallocated sectors will caused problems like that | 13:52 |
| eGetin | nope | 13:53 |
| akazerg | Hi. Who have active ipv6 tunnel? I have NAT, and create tunnel (GOGOC). I want to check it..... | 13:53 |
| eGetin | compdoc: my SSD is as good as new | 13:53 |

| === Guest96128 is now known as robertzaccour | ||
| eGetin | it can't stand huge loads of I/O | 13:53 |

| eGetin | I tried like 10 new installations, now with XFS I've got no locks | 13:53 |
| bekks | ext4 can stand extraordinarily high loads of I/O - even on a SSD. | 13:53 |

| ActionParsnip | akazerg: I can't connect on IPv4 | 13:58 |
| zorael | Can someone recommend a video usb *stick* that works in *ubuntus? (to record s-video/composite/component/* input, not TV) | 13:59 |
| akazerg | On ipv4 will not work | 13:59 |
| bekks | zorael: Every USB stick will do it. | 13:59 |
| akazerg | I have USB Modem | 14:00 |

| akazerg | Only people with IPV6 tunnel can connect to me... | 14:03 |
| bekks | akazerg: Which are less than 1% of all internet users. :) | 14:04 |
| akazerg | yes:) | 14:04 |
| akazerg | But to start the tunnel easier | 14:05 |
| akazerg | sudo apt-get install gogoc | 14:05 |
| akazerg | after, just enter "gogoc" in terminal | 14:05 |
| bekks | I dont see any reason for starting a IPv6 tunnel here :) | 14:05 |
| akazerg | after "sudo ifconfig" | 14:05 |
| srhb | Are there any obvious dangers in mounting /tmp as tmpfs? | 14:06 |
| zorael | bekks: Well, most video cards don't seem to have input ports at all, instead marketed as DVB-T TV cards with internal antennas | 14:07 |
| bekks | zorael: How does that affect the fact, that every USB mass storage device stick can be used as USB massed storage device? | 14:07 |
| zorael | bekks: I'm sorry if my wording was unclear. I did say a 'video usb stick', as a video capture device that's not a box like the Hauppauge HD-PVR | 14:08 |

| bekks | zorael: Did you take a look at the HCL yet? | 14:10 |
| akazerg | Sorry for my english:) | 14:10 |
| cfhowlett | perhapstired: what do you want to install? | 14:11 |
| srhb | lohsblje: What laptop do you have? And have you tried to power off completely, then starting again? | 14:11 |
| lohsblje | i have compaq presario c700, i did, several times, just shutting off, then also removing battery, nothing works | 14:12 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Without a detected display, you wouldnt see any message. The message is thrown by the installed driver, which tells you that it (the driver) could not detect a device it was designed for. | 14:13 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Which means: you have installed a wrong driver. | 14:13 |
| lohsblje | wow, and what should i do? | 14:13 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Find out which graphics device you have, and which driver you've innstalled. | 14:14 |
| lohsblje | but it worked all the time, i have ubuntu on my laptop for like 7 months now and thisis my first crash | 14:14 |

| almoxarife | knittl: do | 14:16 |
| zorael | bekks: I did, but only one review actually mentioned composite/s-video input support, but the reviewer didn't have any source to test it with | 14:17 |

| knittl | GPU is a nvidia quadro fx 360M | 14:18 |
| perhapstired | I installed it into an ubuntu 10.04, so if anyone could tell me i'd appreciate it thanks | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: is there a shortcut keypress to switch the output over, check the F-keys | 14:18 |
| almoxarife | perhapstired: to remove, sudo apt-get purge bitcoin | 14:19 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: no, there is only the nvidia GPU (would be surprised if not) | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | perhapstired: Understood. But IIRC your initial, you wanted to completely remove ubuntu and install something else? | 14:19 |
| knittl | product: G86M [Quadro FX 360M] | 14:19 |
| mimorek | perhapstired: try apt-get remove bitcoin | 14:19 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: xorg log can be found at http://fhlug.at/~dkf/external-monitor-Xorg.0.log | 14:19 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: some Intels have integrated GPUs and it causes all manner of hell. The tech is called Optimus, best avoided imho :) | 14:19 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: there is, but it does not work (distorted image, offset mouse, wrong resolution) | 14:19 |
| perhapstired | crhowlett: no i don't want to remove ubuntu, just this program, so that i can then install and update from the correct place | 14:19 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: my notebook is too old to have optimus (~2007/2008) | 14:20 |
| perhapstired | mimorek: ok i'll try that | 14:20 |
| cfhowlett | perhapstired: got it. sudo apt-get purge bitcoin would do the job I should think. | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: if you run: nvidia-settings and hammer 'detect displays' does it jump into life? | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: I always check ;) | 14:20 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: I can see the monitor, but I cannot activate it | 14:20 |
| bekks | lohsblje: And before that...? | 14:21 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: I guess this is related to a similar problem I had with older versions of ubuntu/the driver/kernel | 14:21 |
| knittl | back then, I set the resolution of my builtin monitor to a smaller one - that way I coudl get both monitors to work | 14:22 |
| knittl | but 12.10 only allows me to set the builtin monitor to its builtin resolution (1920x1200) | 14:22 |
| lohsblje | bekks: browsing web on chromium, and listening music on VLC | 14:22 |

| lohsblje | bekks: updates, sure i did, everytime they popped up, actually i also did few hours ago, 2 updates but i didn't payed much attention to them so i have no idea what kind of updates | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: could try Raring in liveCD, see if it flys :) | 14:25 |
| bekks | lohsblje: That would have been important now. | 14:25 |
| knittl | how can I install nvidia-drivers in a live system? | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: as you would normally, once installed, run: killall -u $USER and you will load the driver | 14:25 |
| knittl | but I doubt it would work. graphics drivers have always decreased in features for me | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: is the external display enabled in BIOS (if it is an option) | 14:26 |
| knittl | in 11.04 with nvidia-173 (I think – the legacy one, not -current), both displays worked | 14:26 |
| lohsblje | bekks: no doubt of that, but i couldn't know that my ubuntu is going to crash | 14:26 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: no, I don't have such an option in my BIOS | 14:26 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Pastebin the output of "tail -1000 /var/log/dpkg.log" please. | 14:26 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: have you had a look at my xorg log? did it help anything? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: I'm a bit busy, just in and out when I can | 14:27 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: also, I think nouveau does not work with both screens either – it did before (in 11.04) | 14:27 |
| knittl | ActionParsnip: ok. thanks anyway. I will try your live system suggestion. so 'killall -u ubuntu' you say? | 14:27 |
| researcher123 | is there a application to find duplicate file and delete it? | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | knittl: yes, you can run: passwd ubuntu to set a password on the account in the liveCD too | 14:28 |

| wantharry | yes i am running on the remote machine | 14:44 |
| blubee | oh wait, it seems its already installed and I have the latest version | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wantharry: is it a web server or an FTP server or a SFTP srver...what sort of server? | 14:45 |
| srhb | ActionParsnip: He already stated that he has a ssh daemon running that he wishes to connect to. | 14:45 |
| wantharry | i am running openssh server...on the remote | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | srhb: missed that, thanks dude | 14:46 |
| wantharry | try to connect from other computer not in the same home network | 14:46 |
| mani_ | hi | 14:46 |
| srhb | wantharry: Have you checked on the remote machine if you can even connect to the ssh daemon there? ie. ssh localhost | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | wantharry: I cant connect on 76.184.161.17:22 | 14:46 |
| wantharry | how can i get the ipaddress of my machine | 14:47 |
| wantharry | ? | 14:47 |
| srhb | wantharry: What you did with visiting some sort of "what's my IP service" is fine. | 14:47 |
| wantharry | i am able to connect to ssh localhost | 14:47 |
| srhb | wantharry: On the remote machine? | 14:48 |
| wantharry | yes | 14:48 |
| knittl | wantharry: do you run a router? If so, you have to enable port-forwarding | 14:48 |
| srhb | wantharry: Then it is a networking issue. | 14:48 |
| burge | In Ubuntu 12.04/12.10, how do you change the mouse pointer size? I know how to change the mouse cursor size, but not the mouse pointer size. | 14:48 |
| knittl | your ISP might block incoming connections as well | 14:48 |
| srhb | burge: What's the difference? If you don't mind me asking. | 14:48 |
| wantharry | how do enable port forwarding? from which port to port? | 14:49 |
| knittl | port 22 to port 22 on your pc | 14:49 |
| wantharry | yes wireless router | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | wantharry: what is the output of: IP=`wget -q -O - http://ip.keithscode.com`; echo $IP | 14:50 |
| burge | srhb, when I changed the mouse cursor size, The 'I' icon size changes, the 'hour-glass' icon changes, but no the mouse pointer icon, its size remains small | 14:50 |
| srhb | burge: Oh, I see. That sounds like a bug, doesn't it. I would assume they all changed accordingly. | 14:50 |
| burge | srhb, yeah, it sounds like a bug | 14:51 |
| burge | srhb, strange nobody else encountered it yet | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | burge: are there themes for that on gnome-look.org ? | 14:52 |
| wantharry | can you type the command again ActionParsnip | 14:52 |
| wantharry | and is there a command to do the port forwarding? | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | it shows your WAN IP in bash | 14:53 |
| almoxarife | wantharry: that would be at the router, portforwarding | 14:53 |
| burge | ActionParsnip, I'll check, it's either DMZ-Black or DMZ-White… I'm using gnome desktop | 14:53 |
| knittl | wantharry: that toally depends on your router. Usually they have some kind of webserver running to configure it | 14:53 |
| wantharry | if i connect to router with wired network i should be able to change the configuration right? | 14:54 |
| almoxarife | wantharry: correct | 14:54 |
| almoxarife | wantharry: point browser to 192.168.1.1:80 usually works | 14:55 |
| blubee | does anyone else have any possible solutions to my 12.10 x64 not being able to find the libpcrecpp.so.0 shared library | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | blubee: are you running a 32bit app? | 14:55 |
| wantharry | ok i check for port forwarding...from 22 to 22? | 14:55 |
| almoxarife | blubee: what package needs it/? | 14:55 |
| blubee | i am on x64 running a x32 bit app | 14:56 |
| almoxarife | wantharry: to your specific machine ip:22 | 14:56 |
| blubee | its for a 3d library to convert collada files to a custom format | 14:56 |
| almoxarife | blubee: what package needs it/? | 14:56 |
| blubee | or turns .fbx files into binary | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 14:56 |
| wantharry | ok will try it..should i check anything else on router? | 14:57 |
| almoxarife | wantharry: no, one thing at a time | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | blubee: then you will need to find the deb with the file and throw the .so in /usr/lib32 | 14:57 |
| blubee | almoxarife I am not exactly sure what package needs it, I have a custom .sh file | 14:57 |
| wantharry | :) thanks let me try that | 14:57 |
| almoxarife | blubee: ok, good luck | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !find libpcrecpp | 14:58 |
| ubottu | Found: libpcrecpp0 | 14:58 |
| limac | how do I check which partition my ubuntu is installed in i am thinking it is sda5 but not sure.. | 14:58 |
| limac | how can i check? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | blubee: you will need the 32bit libpcrecpp0 deb from package.ubuntu.com | 14:58 |
| barberan | limac: df ? | 14:58 |
| knittl | limac: df -h, or mount | 14:58 |
| knittl | (-h can be left out) | 14:59 |
| limac | oh ok. thank you very much. | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | blubee: http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ubuntu//pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcrecpp0_8.30-5ubuntu1_i386.deb | 15:00 |
| blubee | ActionParsnip thanks, let me get on that and hope it works | 15:00 |

| lohsblje | bekks, you still there? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: its not an official ubuntu package | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: Ubuntu uses 3.5.90 | 15:01 |
| nathanr | ActionParsnip: doesn't mean I can't ask ? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: we can only support the official package here | 15:02 |
| nathanr | that's fine, was just hoping if someone faced the same problem | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: try in #nautilus | 15:02 |
| nathanr | thanks, will do :) | 15:03 |
| nathanr | lol doesnt exist, I'll dig around | 15:03 |

| guest-l1QKBc | i want to install gnome | 15:05 |
| guest-l1QKBc | and simply downloading and installing package doesn't work | 15:05 |

| killer | :almoxarife | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: nice :) | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: not use nautilus in a while but will make a note | 15:11 |
| nathanr | ActionParsnip: you use Marlin? | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: pcmanfm | 15:11 |
| nathanr | cool :) didn't know that was still maintained | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: its default in Lubuntu :) | 15:12 |
| killer | ActionParsnip: and it's way too fast as compared to nautilus | 15:13 |
| nathanr | ActionParsnip: ok :) well great - the more choice the better | 15:13 |
| nathanr | I haven't noticed Nautilus being slow | 15:13 |
| nathanr | I'm not on a low-end system though | 15:13 |
| killer | well nautilus with time becomes slow on my core 2 duo | 15:14 |
| lohsblje | bekks:hey | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nathanr: you can use lubuntu on high end systems too, it doesn't not work on lots of horsepower..... | 15:14 |
| nathanr | ActionParsnip: I might try it some time but for now I'm satisfied with Ubuntu & Unity :) | 15:15 |
| killer | ActionParsnip: u use lubuntu? | 15:15 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, Gnome Shell with Docky ftw! | 15:16 |
| szx | what package name should I type in ubuntu-bug for keyboard layout switcher bug? | 15:16 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: tried gnome shell - couldn't get into it.. | 15:16 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, whats not to like? | 15:16 |
| killer | i don't like unity in quantal so i use precise(unity) | 15:17 |
| lohsblje | CAN ANYBODY HELP ME? MY LAPTOB WONT BOOT MY UBUNTU PROPERLY BECAUSE IT CANT DETECT MY DISPLAY | 15:17 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: I think the main thing is the lack of a global menu bar.. the redundancy in having a menu bar as well as the top bar annoys me | 15:17 |
| nathanr | killer: what's the difference? | 15:17 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Press OK, and it will continue. In low graphics mide. | 15:17 |
| bekks | *mode | 15:17 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, there's apps for that | 15:17 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, taskbars, docks, menu apps, etc | 15:17 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: that implement a global menu like on unity/osx? | 15:18 |
| nathanr | I tried looking for them but couldn't find any .. | 15:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | Hello Ubuntu! | 15:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | I'm Agd_Scorp! | 15:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | An top Turkish Linux Hacker! | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: i use minimal iso then build up | 15:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | Recently, I've discovered a severe 0day bug. | 15:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | in all Ubuntu versions. | 15:19 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, for me its the perfect minimalist multi-tasker's dream, but to each their own. | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | which may lead to fuckage of Ubuntu. | 15:19 |
| Aww | 15:19 | |
| Agd_Scorp | RobertzAccour, Your Ubuntu is at risk. | 15:19 |
| bekks | Agd_Scorp: Dont use enter as a punctuation and watch your language please. | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | It can be hacked. | 15:19 |
| killer | nathanr : i like dash lens theme in precise ....besides quantal seems to be a bit slow on my lappy | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: report a bug then | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | Bekks, Alright. | 15:19 |
| szx | "If you're not sure which package is affected by the bug, type ubuntu-bug in the "Run Application" window and click Run. This will guide you through a series of questions to gather more information about the bug." - does this work for anyone?? | 15:19 |
| bekks | Agd_Scorp: And provide a link to your bug report. | 15:19 |
| robertzaccour | Agd_Scorp, I don't think so | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | ActionParsnip, if I submit it, all Ubuntu worldwide's shall be hacked. | 15:19 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: yeah I might try it again some time, I did use it when it came out and remember really liking it | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | and I do not want that. | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | I've coded an | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | local exploit. | 15:19 |
| Agd_Scorp | for this severe 'bug'. | 15:19 |
| FloodBot1 | Agd_Scorp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:19 |
| bazhang | Agd_Scorp, stop | 15:20 |
| bekks | Agd_Scorp: Stop pressing enter all the time, thank you. | 15:20 |
| nathanr | killer: yeah performance seems really random across hardware | 15:20 |
| Agd_Scorp | I'm an programmer, mainly expertised in...unix-hacking. | 15:20 |
| Agd_Scorp | ok | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: it won't, if it is critical it will be acted on quickly | 15:20 |
| bazhang | !ot | Agd_Scorp | 15:20 |
| ubottu | Agd_Scorp: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:20 |
| Agd_Scorp | ActionParsnip, It's very..VERY critical. | 15:20 |
| lohsblje | AND ITS JUST RIDICULOUS, HOW CAN YOY NOT DETECT DISPLAY OF A LAPTOP? AND MY UBUNTU WAS RUNNING JUST FINE FOR LAST 7 MONTHS | 15:20 |
| bazhang | lohsblje, lose caps | 15:20 |
| bekks | lohsblje: YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOUT. We can read lower case too. | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | lohsblje: please take your finger of SHIFT | 15:21 |
| bekks | lohsblje: Did you press OK and continue? | 15:21 |
| robertzaccour | do trolls come by often? | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | robertzaccour: sometimes | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | lohsblje: I suggest you report a bug | 15:23 |
| szx | Is it mandatory to use ubuntu-bug to report bugs? | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | szx: no but its convenient imho | 15:24 |
| szx | I don't know pacakge name | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | szx: what is the issue, we may be able to tell you | 15:24 |
| szx | ActionParsnip: it's related to changing keyboard layout | 15:25 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, actually Gnome Shell does have global menu. In the upper left of the screen next to activities. | 15:26 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: it didnt when I tried it? app menu's were in their relevent apps under the titlebar | 15:27 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, not side by side words like file and edit but does have a drop down menu. whichever app is on top has the dropdown meny | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | szx: run: ubuntu-bug keyboard-configuration | 15:28 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: maybe I had to install some extra.. I'll try it again some time today | 15:28 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, oops pad info sorry. the only dropdown option is quit. | 15:29 |
| nathanr | yeah thats what I thought | 15:29 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, I thought it was different. I typically use the menu within the apps. | 15:29 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, here ya go http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-gnome-shell-global-menu-in.html | 15:31 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: woo awesome! Will check it out, thanks! | 15:31 |
| robertzaccour | yw. haven't used it so no idea if its stable but its worth a read and try | 15:32 |
| robertzaccour | nathanr, I wouldn't be surprised if global menu becomes standard soon though. | 15:33 |
| nathanr | robertzaccour: certainly would make sense :) | 15:33 |
| almoxarife | what terminal command will get me the lines in some log containing 'error' , ''fail' | 15:35 |
| knittl | almoxarife: grep | 15:35 |
| === Fusebox|2 is now known as Transhumanist | ||
| almoxarife | knittl: i am guessing that just entering 'grep' in console is not gonna do it, you think? | 15:36 |
| knittl | grep <regular expression> /path/to/file/… | 15:36 |
| almoxarife | knittl: ok, not even guessing | 15:36 |
| escott | !man | almoxarife | 15:36 |
| ubottu | almoxarife: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 15:36 |
| escott | almoxarife, you are in here enough that you should be reading man pages for things like "grep" | 15:37 |
| knittl | but 'man grep' will tell you everything you need to know (and everything you don't) | 15:37 |
| almoxarife | escott: not as sexy a bash question or did i need to use the 'apache' word to get you all excited? | 15:37 |
| knittl | lol? | 15:38 |
| cnz | to mount my hdds on on reboot just need to had mount /dev/sda1 /path/to/mount | 15:38 |
| cnz | right? | 15:38 |

| qasim_ | what i nautilus and how to downoad it? | 15:46 |
| qasim_ | what is* | 15:47 |
| activex | shell :) | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | qasim_: when you browse your user data, that is nautilus doing the work | 15:47 |
| sevenforall | qasim_: It's indeed a file browser, like explorer on Windows | 15:47 |
| JoaoSantana | hi all! | 15:47 |
| sevenforall | (basically, that is) | 15:47 |
| cnz | can anyone help me with mounting new drives | 15:47 |
| qasim_ | i have xubuntu..how to access nautilus from it? | 15:47 |
| mapy | hello guy | 15:47 |
| sevenforall | qasim_: Install it using "sudo apt-get install nautilus" | 15:48 |
| qasim_ | thanks heaps | 15:48 |
| sevenforall | Hello people who just came in | 15:48 |
| sevenforall | qasim_: np | 15:48 |
| mapy | or do right click in the desktop | 15:48 |
| qasim_ | right click? | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | qasim_: you can, the default file browser is thunar if memory serves | 15:48 |
| qasim_ | ahan | 15:48 |
| mapy | yeah with your mouse on the desktop area | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | ActionParsnip: You'd be right | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | boom! | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | mapy: To achieve what? | 15:49 |
| mapy | browse your content | 15:49 |
| sevenforall | qasim_: Xubuntu already has a filebrowser indeed, but it's not nautilus, it's Thunar. They're about the same to the untrained eye. | 15:49 |
| mapy | or what do you except to do with nautilus? | 15:49 |
| qasim_ | yeah | 15:49 |
| cnz | how do you | 15:49 |
| cnz | add mounts for hdds | 15:49 |
| cnz | inside of fstab | 15:50 |
| qasim_ | actually i have read a blog which says get nautilus | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cnz: why hit enter 3 times, when only once is needed? | 15:50 |
| qasim_ | and then access file sharing folder | 15:50 |
| mapy | ok | 15:50 |
| sevenforall | cnz: Add this line (1 sec) | 15:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cnz: you'd add entries for partitions. You can't mount hdds. | 15:50 |
| sevenforall | cnz: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/stor1 ntfs defaults 0 0 | 15:50 |
| sevenforall | cnz: That's for a NTSF HDD on sdb1 that needs to be mounted to /mnt/stor1 | 15:50 |
| cnz | sevenforall thanks | 15:50 |
| sevenforall | cnz: You'd have to figure out on which /dev location your HDD is, and make up a place where you want it mounted to | 15:51 |
| ActionParsnip | cnz: the mount point must exist, or the mount will fail | 15:51 |
| cnz | yeah I can figure it out from there, thanks sevenforall | 15:51 |
| sevenforall | cnz: Indeed, you'd have to create a dir for it inside /mnt | 15:51 |
| sevenforall | cnz: No problem | 15:51 |
| cnz | yeah I have them mounted manually right now just want them to remount on reboot | 15:51 |
| sevenforall | cnz: That should do the trick, given you customize it to your specifications | 15:52 |
| cnz | right on thanks again | 15:52 |
| sevenforall | np again :) | 15:52 |
| sevenforall | ActionParsnip: I love you :) It works | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | sevenforall: its a weirdness with the single storage in new android devices. | 15:54 |

| escott | wantharry, but you are editing the router settings. unless your router runs ubuntu we won't know anything about it | 16:11 |

| MonkeyDust | hrolf try dpkg -l|grep ttf | 16:23 |
| MotexT | Hi all | 16:25 |
| MotexT | I have some question | 16:25 |
| hrolf | MonkeyDust: How do I remove them? | 16:26 |
| === qos is now known as qos|away | ||
| hrolf | I mean few fonts, if I want to. | 16:26 |
| MotexT | Why, when i`m installing ubuntu on my Asus x59gl my notebook "freeze"? | 16:26 |
| MonkeyDust | hrolf same way you'd remove any other package -- apt-get or synaptic or so | 16:27 |
| MotexT | So, can you help me? | 16:28 |
| hrolf | MonkeyDust: dpkg -l | grep ttf is not showing all fonts | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | MotexT: at what point does it freeze? | 16:31 |
| escott | hrolf, it wouldn't it would only show ttf packages | 16:32 |
| MotexT | For example, they freeze in the end of installing, when apt configurating | 16:32 |
| hrolf | escott: Then how do I view fonts? | 16:33 |
| escott | hrolf, if you want to list fonts you should use fc-list or fc-cache | 16:33 |
| MonkeyDust | hrolf then try grep font, may show more | 16:34 |
| MonkeyDust | or what escott says | 16:34 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | Yo | 16:35 |
| escott | hrolf, its a bit unclear what your question is. "see which fonts i have installed" is the emphasis on the fonts or on the installed? you could have fonts you downloaded by hand and placed in ~/.fonts but they aren't "installed" through apt | 16:35 |
| k1ll3nt1m3 | he most likely just wants to see whats installed.... | 16:36 |
| hrolf | escott: I opened a ttf, then I clicked on Install Font and it says Install Failed, now I'm seeing if it is already installed or not | 16:37 |
| yeats | hrolf: easy way is to open libreoffice and see if it's in the list of available fonts | 16:37 |
| hrolf | yeats: Yes it is shown there, but is there not any tool to view fonts? | 16:38 |
| hrolf | yeats: Like in windows | 16:38 |
| escott | hrolf, if you opened it with user privs it would be "installed" to ~/.fonts. if you were prompted for your password to do a root install it ends up in /usr/share/fonts | 16:38 |
| yeats | hrolf: dunno - I've always been okay with seeing it active in the program I'm trying to use the fonts in | 16:38 |
| yeats | hrolf: and ubuntu != windows, btw | 16:39 |
| escott | hrolf, font-viewer | 16:39 |
| asdfn | does anybody know, how to define which commands to run when session is started ? | 16:39 |
| escott | hrolf, gnome-font-viewer that is | 16:39 |
| escott | asdfn, gnome-session-properties | 16:39 |
| hrolf | escott: How do I install a font which is installed in .fonts to /usr/share/fonts | 16:40 |
| asdfn | escott: is it possible to do regardless of particular de like gnome? | 16:41 |
| DYSW | How long will i be able to use Linux mint 13 ? My laptop dont have pae so im fearing future kernel updates can be a problem | 16:41 |
| escott | asdfn, other desktops will have their own session manager | 16:41 |
| k1l | !mint | DYSW | 16:41 |
| ubottu | DYSW: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 16:41 |
| escott | hrolf, do you really need it to be installed to the main system? | 16:41 |
| asdfn | escott: ah, ok. thank you! | 16:42 |
| DYSW | Sorry, they just use your kernels so they couldnt tell me. How long will 12.04 update a non pae kernel ?= | 16:42 |
| k1l | DYSW: mint go a different update management and policy. so its their call | 16:42 |
| hrolf | escott: Can firefox read from .fonts, because I have installed a font but still am not able to view the text properly in Firefox. | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !mint | DYSW | 16:43 |
| ubottu | DYSW: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 16:43 |
| escott | hrolf, every application should be able to see fonts from ~/.fonts | 16:43 |
| hrolf | escott: I see | 16:43 |
| DYSW | k1l: mm okay. But if ubuntu stops kernels update wtihout pae so will mint. I just read some place that 12.04 woulndt come with non pae support thruout its life | 16:43 |
| k1l | DYSW: 12.04 will keep non pae kernels, afaik | 16:43 |
| DYSW | k1l: thx all i needed to know. | 16:43 |
| escott | hrolf, you might need to close those applications or even logout, but it should be visible to those applications | 16:44 |
| DYSW | Dont thing my pentium laptop will last that long anyway but only version of ubuntu(kernelwise) i seem to be able to use. | 16:44 |
| hrolf | escott: I have gnome-font-viewer but I cant see which fonts are there available | 16:44 |
| k1l | besides i read that days that linux kernels will drop non pae support anyway. but thats gonna be offtopic in here | 16:45 |
| bobweaver | does one have to run sources on fonts folder after installing new fonts to $HOME ? like same way if I am to change bashrc ? | 16:45 |

| bobweaver | kevinch, what guide ? | 16:46 |
| kevinch | http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc_p4 | 16:46 |
| escott | hrolf, any font you see in font-viewer is available | 16:46 |
| hrolf | escott: I see | 16:47 |
| kevinch | I also disabled password auth on the mac so I can be sure its working | 16:47 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, I do not know how much I like that tutorial | 16:47 |
| kevinch | know a better one out there? | 16:47 |
| kevinch | I got backuppc working just ssh into my mac is having problems | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, you have imported ssh key? | 16:48 |
| escott | kevinch, you can ssh -vv user@mac and see if it tries to send the correct id_rsa. if it does and it doesn't work then the problem is with the mac setup and therefore !ot | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | escott, +1 you can also use verbose ? | 16:48 |
| kevinch | okay I'll try that escott | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | !ssh kevinch | 16:48 |
| kevinch | and yes bobweaver | 16:48 |
| bobweaver | !ssh | kevinch | 16:49 |
| ubottu | kevinch: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 16:49 |
| kevinch | wow I'm dumb | 16:50 |
| kevinch | I forgot to specify the user | 16:50 |
| kevinch | thats why it wasn't authenticatign | 16:50 |
| bobweaver | woops :) | 16:50 |
| kevinch | thanks! | 16:50 |
| kevinch | lets see if I can get backuppc working now | 16:50 |
| === yan is now known as Van- | ||
| bobweaver | kevinch, glad to see that things are working out! | 16:50 |
| kevinch | okay backuppc is trying to run this command: /usr/bin/ssh -q -x -l root kevin_mbp /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --t | 16:51 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, almost any tut that I read that says to get root. I stop reading right there at that spot . Again that is just me | 16:51 |
| kevinch | good point.. | 16:51 |
| kevinch | do you know a better backuppc tutorial? | 16:51 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, you like scp or rsynch ? | 16:52 |
| kevinch | I want an easy, cross platform backup to my ubuntu server | 16:52 |
| kevinch | rsync | 16:52 |
| kevinch | I get this error when I run the above command | 16:52 |
| kevinch | rsync: on remote machine: --t: unknown option | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, almost all Ubuntu wiki have the things that we are talking about | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | !scp | kevinch | 16:52 |
| ubottu | kevinch: scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | IDK if works for mac kevinch | 16:53 |
| kevinch | yes I know what both of them are, but I was just answering if you said you like scp or rsync | 16:53 |
| bobweaver | !rsync >> kevinch | 16:53 |
| bobweaver | oh sorry | 16:53 |
| mapy | hello! Is there anybody using elementary os? | 16:53 |
| MonkeyDust | mapy not supported here | 16:53 |
| escott | kevinch, why are you ssh'ing into the other machine in order to run rsync? | 16:54 |
| kevinch | thats how backuppc does it | 16:54 |
| escott | kevinch, well --t is wrong or truncated. maybe they mean --times | 16:54 |
| mapy | sorry. and why that? | 16:55 |
| escott | kevinch, but if you are running rsync on the mac you should make sure you have the same version of rsync on the mac | 16:55 |
| kevinch | I'll check that out | 16:55 |
| kevinch | backuppc is starting to piss me off | 16:55 |
| Shadow-Command | \exit | 16:56 |
| bobweaver | me too kevinch and I don't even use it ;) | 16:56 |
| Shadow-Command | \quit | 16:56 |
| kevinch | haha | 16:56 |
| kevinch | know a better alternative? | 16:56 |
| kevinch | bacula looks complicated | 16:56 |
| kevinch | escott: ubuntu is running 3. something | 16:57 |
| escott | kevinch, is there some reason you can't just directly run rsync? | 16:57 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, I have not used window or a mac in like 5 + years | 16:57 |
| kevinch | mac is running 2.6.9 | 16:57 |
| MonkeyDust | mapy some 70 people in the channel #elementary | 16:57 |
| kevinch | I'm lazy and want a webgui once I have it seutp | 16:57 |
| mapy | thanks MonkeyDust | 16:58 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, I back up local using rsync and crotabs. But I should use the backup tool that comes with Ubuntu | 16:58 |
| kevinch | yeah I can do locally fine with rsync, but for networked backup of a windows and mac machine | 16:58 |
| bobweaver | kevinch, either that Or I stick it in the cloud | 16:58 |
| * MonkeyDust uses rsync and crontab too, for backups | 16:59 | |
| ActionParsnip | kevinch: deja dup | 16:59 |
| dcherniv | kevinch, there's rsync for windows, and mac has rsync native | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kevinch: or a cron'd cp job | 16:59 |

| bobweaver | lucido, you have also tried different sites ? you have also tried changing sticky edges? what monitor is the one that will not go full screen ? | 17:30 |
| bobweaver | lucido, or is it both ? | 17:30 |
| escott | lucido, also your question was confusing. html5 or flash. or both | 17:30 |
| bobweaver | I thought that html5 uses webM ? | 17:31 |
| bobweaver | and not flash | 17:31 |
| lucido | bobweaver, both monitors, only flash | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lucido: could use minitube, full screen that and it may be ok | 17:32 |
| escott | lucido, doubt you can get around flash in any easy way | 17:32 |

| bobweaver | lucido, what about youtube > | 17:33 |
| lucido | bobweaver, yeah, from stock install | 17:33 |
| bobweaver | lucido, you have tried jwplayer ? I am not sure if that will help or not but I use it all the time | 17:34 |
| bobweaver | lucido, I know nothing about it though | 17:34 |
| lucido | bobweaver, ok, thank you | 17:34 |

| escott | vicatcu, if you want to give details sure | 17:45 |
| vicatcu | escott: absolutely, what kind of details would be helpful? | 17:46 |
| vicatcu | here's a listing of my services: https://gist.github.com/4301377 | 17:46 |
| rusfus_ | I have a big problem with nautilus. I practically freeze when I try to enter the root system. more 'when I start amule crashes. and everything happened at the same time. please help me. thanks | 17:47 |
| escott | vicatcu, lets start with "didn't seem to work" did you have no connection on the other machine? what does "ifconfig" on the other machine show | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rusfus_: how do you mean 'root system'? | 17:47 |
| escott | rusfus_, "enter the root system" | 17:47 |
| ga_sk8er | ActionParsnip is xfce in the ubuntu software center | 17:47 |
| vicatcu | escott: the 'device' is not a PC, it's a microcontroller - and using wireshark on the laptop, I could see DHCP requests going out from it, but no DHCP offers | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ga_sk8er: yes, run: sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 17:48 |
| escott | vicatcu, so the device is requesting but you aren't offering. is dhcpd running on your machine | 17:48 |
| vicatcu | escott... no i guess i followed th dnsmasq instructions on the ics help page | 17:49 |
| escott | vicatcu, so is dnsmasq running then "ps aux | grep dns" | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ga_sk8er: after its installed, log off and log in to the xfce session. Is it better? | 17:51 |
| rusfus_ | escott_, I open it and I get stuck | 17:51 |
| escott | rusfus_, we don't know what that means "enter the root system" | 17:51 |
| JPMH | screen savers somehow are notified when the keyboard and mouse is not in use. I would like to trap that idle too, how do I do it | 17:51 |
| escott | rusfus_, what is the "root system" | 17:51 |
| ga_sk8er | still installing | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | rusfus_: the default is to open your user's home | 17:51 |
| vicatcu | escott: yes here's the output of ps aux | grep dns: https://gist.github.com/4310241 | 17:52 |
| escott | JPMH, not sure if they are notified or if they just poll the devices | 17:52 |
| ga_sk8er | ActionParsnip it just finished installing | 17:52 |
| JPMH | escott: OK - even if I was willing to poll the devices, and that's awful, how would I even do that | 17:53 |
| rusfus_ | ActionParsnip_. I open it and I get stuck | 17:53 |
| rusfus_ | if I open my home and I go on my file system crashes the page and closing it tells me it occupied | 17:53 |
| escott | vicatcu, so its running. is /etc/dnsmasq.conf correct | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rusfus_: Can you navigate it ok in a terminal? | 17:53 |
| lanoxx | it seems there is a bug in ubuntu 12.10's version of libicu48-dev: bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687339 | 17:53 |
| escott | JPMH, you dont have to be that accurate with the polling. every 10 seconds would be enough for most people http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1252752 | 17:53 |
| JPMH | escott: good point - really even minutes would be good - I am now heading over to read the link you sent me - thanks | 17:54 |
| vicatcu | escott: Here are the last two lines of /etc/dnsmasq.conf (the rest is the default): https://gist.github.com/1097baaaa3cbc3376967 | 17:55 |

| escott | vicatcu, i dont see anything obviously incorrect there. i've never actually done an ics setup so i dont have any personal experience with it. you might try taking the hub out of the network and doing a crossover cable to the router | 18:02 |
| ga_sk8er | in xcfe the game says "failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer:nVertexCounter=4, nFirstVertex=0" | 18:03 |
| vicatcu | escott: i can't imagine that would be a problem considering i can see the DHCP requests in wireshark | 18:04 |
| escott | vicatcu, yeah i dont know why dnsmasq would not be responding to the requests | 18:05 |
| ga_sk8er | it actually did better in gnome desktop...at least gnome showed jumbled up graphics | 18:05 |

| CrazyZurfer | but the problem is that in the folder I've got there are 2 files: UrTUpdater.i386 and UrTUpdater.x86_64 | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | zedkazi: do you have software centre open? | 18:51 |
| ActionParsnip | CrazyZurfer: if you grab it from the playdeb repo it installs easier for you | 18:51 |
| cardamon | Hmm. | 18:52 |
| cardamon | That's concerning. | 18:52 |
| k1l | escott: with not too many bad sectors, that shouldnt be a problem, imho | 18:52 |
| CrazyZurfer | actionParsnip: how do I install that repo? xd | 18:52 |
| escott | k1l, what do bad sectors have to do with it? | 18:53 |
| cardamon | I made an ubuntu liveusb with unetbootin and 12.10...trying to use it to run diagnostics on a friend's computer. It hangs at the loading screen. | 18:53 |
| k1l | ActionParsnip: i think dd got a lot potential of accidential missusage. imho its easier to use shred. but you can suggest other programs to him if you want :) | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | CrazyZurfer: search the web, there is a deb you can add to add the source | 18:55 |
| CrazyZurfer | ActionParsnip: Getdeb and Playdeb seems to be down | 18:55 |
| babamelon | Hi, Im using lubuntu and since some days ago Im not able to boot with grub nor does any live distribution recognize my partition table. | 18:55 |
| k1l | escott: that is the case, where shred comes to its limits, as there could still be information in bad sectors, which did not get overwritten but that belongs to every other method like dd if its jused use partitionwise and not whole device wise | 18:55 |
| babamelon | How can I rapair/manually read (as a first step) my partition table with ubuntu | 18:56 |
| escott | k1l, it has nothing to do with bad sectors. its about how the filesystem manages the data when it writes to disk. unless the filesystem guarantees that a write hits the same blocks on the disk then shred cannot guarantee destruction of the data | 18:56 |
| escott | k1l, ext3/ext4 have a journal. btrfs is CoW, anything on an SSD is CoW etc | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | CrazyZurfer: yeah :( | 18:57 |
| cardamon | ...tried it on another machine...works fine. | 18:57 |
| k1l | escott: so what to suggest in his usecase then? | 18:57 |
| escott | k1l, ie... you can't just throw shred at it and expect it to really destroy the data | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cardamon: what video chip does the system use? | 18:57 |
| escott | k1l, i dont know because you didn't ask him what his usecase was | 18:58 |

| dniMretsaM | what's your problem aks | 19:13 |
| aks | Using ubuntu 12.10 but heating problem is there | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | aks: do you use a switching GPU (intel and nvidia)? | 19:13 |
| Septima | has anybody here ever went beyond chroot for security and isolation purposes? what did you use? | 19:14 |
| aks | My laptop heat up when i work on ubuntu | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | aks: doesn't answer my question | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Septima: I've seen people chroot for web hosting | 19:14 |
| aks | intel | 19:14 |
| escott | Septima, chroot is rather old and limited. it can be done properly but its hard to do anything meaningful with a chroot. thats part of why virtual machines are so well liked | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | aks: do you have the desktop booted in front of you? | 19:15 |
| Septima | ActionParsnip: well i mean something less attackable, more secure and containery, than chroot | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Septima: use a bastion server | 19:15 |
| aks | t should i do now? | 19:15 |
| Septima | ActionParsnip: the open source drivers could be making your video card overheat, causing the hotness | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | aks: run: sudo lshw -C display what video chips do you see? | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Septima: I bet its some optimus junk | 19:16 |

| ga_sk8er | the site does zip files & idk how to install them on linux | 19:29 |
| bbigras__ | LeChacal: You may want to look at mediatomb or ps3 media server. ps3 media server has a gui but it can run in headless mode if I recall correctly. | 19:30 |
| LeChacal | bbigras: I have a server install of ubuntu with no X installed and tried ps3mediaserver but it just gave me problems, all the directions for the installing of it seem very old | 19:31 |
| CrazyZurfer | I tried to add a sound notification to xChat and I selected an mp3 from my music library and I wanted to hear it and now it sounds a horrible thing :S like noise | 19:32 |

| bbigras__ | LeChacal: Did you follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer ? | 19:34 |
| xbskid | So, uh, modifying my hosts file doesn't seem to actually change my hostname permanently. | 19:34 |
| aks | heating problem | 19:34 |
| xbskid | Can someone please point me to the config file where Ubuntu stores the hostname? | 19:34 |
| almoxarife | LeChacal: check in with #xbmc , they can better explain, mine is running on linux | 19:35 |
| yeats | xbskid: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts | 19:35 |
| LeChacal | bbigras: directions very simliar to this found the PMS site | 19:35 |
| cardamon | Bah, no sysrq key | 19:35 |
| xbskid | yeats: Thanks; it was /etc/hostname that I was looking for | 19:35 |

| yoritomo | anyone use lightspark 0.7 plugin under 12.4 powerpc ? | 19:36 |
| yoritomo | i coul not compile and it is not easy to find a deb for 12.04 ppc | 19:37 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Hiya! | 19:37 |
| almoxarife | LeChacal: we can talk xbmc on #xbmc , not here | 19:37 |
| yoritomo | as powerpc is not officially supported by the lightspark developper team | 19:37 |
| TeamRocket1233c | How would Ubuntu perform on SPARC? | 19:40 |
| bbigras__ | Anyone knows if there is a Samba 4.0.0 release PPA? | 19:40 |
| diverdude | arrr why does scp only copy with 11 mb/s when its copying to the same raid system as its always located on? Its just copying to guest from host | 19:40 |
| xbskid | TeamRocket1233c: You could try, though I think the SPARC port was discontinued after 8..04 | 19:41 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Just a curiosity. | 19:41 |
| === babilen_ is now known as babilen | ||
| xbskid | TeamRocket1233c: Also probably depends on the SPARC hardware; I've got an Ultra 10 by my side running Gentoo... I wouldn't have confidence with Ubuntu on that particular piece of hardware, but perhaps on my V210. | 19:42 |
| escott | diverdude, use the guest additions | 19:42 |
| TeamRocket1233c | An AMD or Intel chip beats it anyways. | 19:42 |
| ikonia | ubuntu no longer has a sparc variant | 19:42 |
| TeamRocket1233c | Plus the average consumer will NEVER come across SPARC in their life. | 19:42 |
| ikonia | the community sparc release appears dead and the auto build stuff fails | 19:43 |
| xbskid | Good! I don't want to be an average consumer. | 19:43 |
| diverdude | escott, its not virtual box | 19:43 |
| escott | diverdude, most virtualization systems have a paravirt module for filesystem access | 19:43 |
| cardamon | Mkay, still trying to boot the LiveCD. Gave it an actual network connection but it's stuck now at "Checking battery state..." | 19:43 |
| tarek__ | INSTALL IT , it's better than using virtual box | 19:44 |
| yoritomo | nobody about lightspark on powerpc ? | 19:44 |

| diverdude | escott, so how do i do that on proxmox? | 19:48 |
| riqdiiz | Ikonia what does it have instead? | 19:48 |
| cardamon | Still stuck. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | riqdiiz: it doesn't use a registery | 19:48 |
| TeamRocket1233c | The biggest flaw with Windows, from what I've read here and there, is the registry. | 19:49 |
| savr | hi can I install MAAS/Juju/OpenStack onto one server? | 19:49 |
| ikonia | savr: sure | 19:50 |
| Septima | escott: thanks | 19:50 |
| opero | hi all | 19:50 |
| jaysonr | TeamRocket1233c: ARM has been around since 1985, and Power is still used quite a bit in servers, "Supercomputers" (Like IBM's Watson) and gaming consoles, just not traditional "PC's". | 19:50 |
| ikonia | jaysonr: TeamRocket1233c could you take the hardware chat to ##hardware please. | 19:51 |
| cardamon | riqdiiz: Ubuntu uses Debian's package management system, through various frontends, apt. It keeps track of what's install, but not so much where. That's handled by the package settings itself. Linking between applications and libraries is handled when they're installed/removed, but otherwise not touched unless you do something like update-alternatives | 19:51 |
| savr | ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure "then the minimum deployment outlined below requires a minimum of 10 machines including the juju bootstrap node and MAAS server." what is meant by this? | 19:51 |
| escott | diverdude, never heard of proxmox | 19:51 |
| jaysonr | ikonia: I wasn't "chatting" is was correcting misinformation. | 19:51 |
| cardamon | I'm more a Debian user than an Ubuntu one, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. | 19:51 |
| escott | riqdiiz, there is something registry like called dconf/gconf | 19:51 |
| ikonia | jaysonr: ok, if you want to be smart about it "please take your hardware discussion and corrections to hardware" | 19:52 |
| diverdude | escott, its openvz | 19:52 |
| cardamon | As for gconf...every time I mess with that I just want to kill myself. | 19:52 |
| cardamon | Okay, battery state check is still hanging. | 19:52 |
| riqdiiz | ;-) | 19:52 |
| escott | diverdude, well then it is already paravirt | 19:53 |
| escott | diverdude, its not even virt really | 19:53 |

| greenbrother | I have dvbt usb dongle | 19:54 |
| ikonia | jaysonr: yes, it is, pointing someone to the correct channel, and then getting a smart mouth response, and pointing again a second time, is perfectly in line with the code of conduct | 19:55 |

| jaysonr | ikonia: this is the last I'll say on the matter, but there for sure appropriate times to point someone to a more appropriate channel. Doing it to someone who was trying to clear up misinformation, and has said one line in the room all day is not the time. | 19:56 |
| ikonia | jaysonr: it is if the conversation has been going on long enough | 19:56 |
| allexmb | i can try to help you locally via shell on your box, otherwise not | 19:56 |

| ikonia | savr: for a test/play thing, I don't see why not, I can't see a technical blocker (I'm not aware of one) | 20:04 |
| savr | ikonia: for deployment :p | 20:04 |
| ikonia | savr: "for deployment" means nothing | 20:04 |
| ikonia | savr: I think the 10 machines is to allow the guest machines to run safly, not the actual deployment | 20:05 |

| ga_sk8er | yeah | 20:12 |
| shwouchk_ | glebihan, that's what I started with - Ill rename it back | 20:12 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: when you type 'ls' in the terminal, does that file name show up? | 20:13 |
| ga_sk8er | do i have to direct it to my downloads folder then the driver? | 20:13 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: the terminal, yes.. you can use the 'cd' or change directory command to get to where the driver was downloaded | 20:13 |
| shwouchk_ | dodo3773, I started with ubuntu-desktop and after saw that cccp didn't save my keybindings I started trying the various other until I found lubuntu which is both quick, does save my keybindings and configurable | 20:14 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk_: Maybe try as an experiment moving your old autostart folder to autostartold or whatever and reboot | 20:14 |
| ga_sk8er | oh so i need the specific path | 20:14 |
| shwouchk_ | dodo3773, which autostart folder? | 20:14 |
| SpaceRocket | how to sync Gnome contacts with Gmail? | 20:14 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: if it's in the default download folder, you can probably just type: cd ~/Downloads | 20:14 |
| streulma | sh ./ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_x64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/ubuntureleasename | 20:14 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk_: Yeah I love openbox. The only window manager I have used for at least a year. I have tried almost everything too | 20:14 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk_: The one in .config | 20:14 |
| ga_sk8er | the ppl who make those help sites like that need to be more specific to the noobs | 20:14 |
| ikonia | please don't call people noobs | 20:15 |
| ikonia | grow up a bit | 20:15 |
| streulma | ikonia: :) | 20:15 |
| xangua | SpaceRocket: just enter your google user and password | 20:15 |
| shwouchk_ | dodo3773, I do have a bunch of stuff there, but I configured what I want to start via "desktop session settings"... I'll move it though. | 20:16 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk_: also, (not sure if it matters) but my autostart.sh file has a space after the entries like: pidgin & | 20:17 |
| ga_sk8er | i typed in cd downloads & its not switching over | 20:17 |
| ga_sk8er | even tried cd home & got nothing | 20:17 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: it's case sensitive | 20:17 |
| OerHeks | ga_sk8er, Downloads capital D | 20:17 |
| shwouchk_ | dodo3773, I think it doesn't, but I'll try | 20:17 |
| ga_sk8er | cd Downloads | 20:18 |
| shwouchk_ | dodo3773, does it have the first line also? | 20:18 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: cd ~/Downloads | 20:18 |
| ga_sk8er | oops wrong window | 20:18 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk_: Also, I don't have "#!/bin/bash" at all | 20:18 |
| streulma | I have a Mac and want to run Ubuntu on it in a Virtual Machine. What's the best option PC Users? Virtualbox or VMWare? | 20:18 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: aha | 20:18 |
| SpaceRocket | xangua, there is only local address book | 20:18 |
| glebihan | shwouchk_, I'd try removing the shebang (I don't have one here) | 20:18 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | VmWARE @ streulma | 20:18 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | thats what I Use | 20:18 |

| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | on virtual box do u have a trial peroid? | 20:18 |
| wNz | virtual box is free | 20:19 |
| ikonia | streulma: I'd suggest getting some experienced views from #macosx | 20:19 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | well | 20:19 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | if u want a free one use virtual box | 20:19 |
| Septima | virtualbox is freeware | 20:19 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | if u want more of a complete with added features | 20:19 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | u should buy vmware | 20:19 |
| Septima | vmware player is also freeware | 20:19 |
| streulma | yes, I use Virtualbox on my 10 servers :) and run Ubuntu Server on it | 20:19 |
| ikonia | please pay attention to what he's saying | 20:20 |
| ikonia | he's running it on mac os x | 20:20 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | mmhm | 20:20 |
| ikonia | streulma: #macosx - the guys in there have experience and can advise you on virtualizations options | 20:20 |
| streulma | Septima: VMware Player is not for osx users, they use VMware Fusion | 20:20 |
| Septima | streulma: ah, that's right | 20:20 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | Yeah thats why i said vmware ufsion | 20:20 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: Didn't work | 20:20 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | but ita a trial peroid | 20:20 |
| ikonia | [_-S1L3NC3-_]: you didn't say vmware fusion | 20:21 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | i said vmware | 20:21 |
| wNz | he specifically asked vbox vs vmware | 20:21 |
| ikonia | yes, suggesting he's not fully aware of the options | 20:21 |
| ga_sk8er | thats odd...after i changed the folder & ran the command it didnt say error but also didnt ask for the password...it was a sudo command | 20:21 |

| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Hmmm. Is this an openbox standalone session or is it lxde or something? | 20:21 |
| cardamon | Now it's hanging at "Starting crash report" | 20:22 |
| Rustyblade | hey guys how do you install i386 packages if ur on 64 bit? | 20:22 |
| cardamon | Now it's hanging at "Starting crash report submission daemon" | 20:22 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Not sure why it would matter | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Rustyblade: what are you trying to install ? | 20:22 |
| Rustyblade | I want to install wine | 20:22 |
| Rustyblade | It says i need this | 20:22 |
| ga_sk8er | idk the line just shows the greater than symbol | 20:22 |
| Rustyblade | wine1.4 : Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable | 20:22 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: this is a 'lubuntu' session | 20:22 |
| ikonia | Rustyblade: install wine from the repos | 20:22 |
| ikonia | !info wine | 20:22 |

| ikonia | Rustyblade: open the package manager and install the wine package, that's it | 20:23 |
| glebihan | shwouchk__, just to be sure, does pidgin start if you type the command in a terminal ? | 20:23 |
| cardamon | Anyone familiar at all with the Live environment having a issues booting? | 20:23 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: if it's a zip file, you have to unzip it first with the 'unzip file.zip' command | 20:23 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: What happens if you start openbox all by itself? Test on another tty (switch back with ctrl+alt+f7): xinit /usr/bin/openbox -- :1 -nolisten tcp | 20:23 |
| ga_sk8er | it is a zip file | 20:24 |
| SpaceRocket | I added Google account to online accounts but gnome contacts is not syncing , there isn't any contact | 20:24 |
| whoever | hi all, is there a date for 12.10 to go to lts | 20:24 |
| ikonia | whoever: it won't | 20:24 |
| ikonia | whoever: it will never be lts | 20:24 |
| whoever | ikonia: why not | 20:24 |
| ikonia | whoever: because it is not an LTS release. | 20:25 |
| k1l | whoever: 10.04 12.04 and 14.04 ,... will be lts. not every release will be lts | 20:25 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: run the unzip command on it.. if it says you're missing unzip, then type: sudo apt-get install unzip | 20:25 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Does this directory exist? /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu | 20:25 |
| whoever | ikonia: ok, i must still have release info to learn, how to dertirmin if a release is lts canidate | 20:26 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Or something similar in /etc/xdg | 20:26 |
| almoxarife | !file-roller | 20:26 |

| cardamon | It keeps hanging for me. Apparently in different places. | 20:26 |
| k1l | !lts | whoever | 20:26 |
| ubottu | whoever: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 20:26 |

| whoever | ikonia: i don't think 12.04 was called untill about 3 months after realse | 20:27 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Is there an autostart file in there? | 20:27 |
| cardamon | Well, at least there's that. | 20:27 |
| ikonia | whoever: it was an LTS release before it was released. | 20:27 |
| yeats | whoever: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/ubuntu-13-04-release-date-announced - note that it won't be an LTS | 20:27 |
| ikonia | whoever: hence how people know it's na LTS | 20:27 |

| ga_sk8er | it shows the unzip is installed | 20:28 |

| ga_sk8er | i cant get it to unzip the file | 20:28 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | Hey Where Can I Find - zlib or trf package? | 20:29 |
| whoever | ga_sk8er: what is the file and how are you tring to do it | 20:29 |
| ikonia | [_-S1L3NC3-_]: in the repos | 20:29 |
| whoever | ga_sk8er: unzip <file.zip> | 20:29 |
| ga_sk8er | unzip Downloads/ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run | 20:30 |
| ikonia | it's not a zipped file | 20:30 |
| ga_sk8er | so i have to add the .zip at the end of it? | 20:30 |
| ikonia | it's a binaryy file | 20:30 |

| ga_sk8er | then how do i install it? | 20:31 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | Hey Where Can I Find - zlib or trf package? where is the repos? | 20:31 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: do: sudo sh ~/Downloads/ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run | 20:31 |
| vklimkov_ | \join #android-dev | 20:31 |
| usr13 | ga_sk8er: You should to to Hardware Drivers for it. | 20:31 |

| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: http://justpaste.it/1mui | 20:31 |
| kostkon | [_-S1L3NC3-_], search in the software centre | 20:31 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: What's normal? :P Does it source .config/openbox/autostart | 20:32 |
| usr13 | ga_sk8er: Ubuntu has provisions for installing video drivers. | 20:32 |
| [_-S1L3NC3-_] | hmm ok | 20:32 |
| === atrius is now known as atrius_away | ||
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Add "source .config/openbox/autostart.sh" to that file and reboot. does that work? maybe use teh @ symbol but I doubt its needed | 20:33 |
| k1l | whoever: to be 100% precise, a LTS goes to LTS state, when its released its first .1 release, like 12.04.1. but overall the whole release is focused more on stability than new features. so its lts right from the beginning. | 20:33 |
| almoxarife | ga_sk8er: have you already tried installing the vid driver via repo? | 20:33 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: also, if your right click openbox pipe menu isn't working you can probably comment out that pcmanfm line | 20:33 |
| ga_sk8er | idk how | 20:34 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: what do you mean by rightclick openbox pipe menu? | 20:34 |
| ga_sk8er | i havent done any linux in about 5 years | 20:34 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: when you right click the desktop. hole on ill give you screeny | 20:34 |
| cardamon | Ubuntu. LiveUSB. Hang at boot. Bad. | 20:34 |
| almoxarife | ga_sk8er: dont go via the .run route till you tried the simpler install via 'software-center' | 20:35 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: I tried running 'bash $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart' (with a @) and it didn't help. still should try 'source ...'? | 20:35 |
| almoxarife | ga_sk8er: or use 'synaptic' | 20:35 |
| ga_sk8er | i just thought the software center had programs like xchat or pidgin...i didnt think it had drivers | 20:35 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: also, no need for reboot - logout,login suffices | 20:35 |

| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: that doesn't make sense in a global file | 20:37 |

| silvanojunior | hi | 20:37 |
| ga_sk8er | usr13 idk the command for that | 20:37 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: The dock at the bottom is called "wbar" panel at top is "xfce4-panel" | 20:38 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: anyway, I have a menu when I right click the desktop, but there are only a few programs there | 20:38 |
| usr13 | ga_sk8er: jockey-gtk (or jockey-txt) is a user interface and desktop integration for driver management | 20:38 |
| almoxarife | ga_sk8er: alt-f2 , type 'drivers' | 20:38 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: if you can find the settings manager, there should be a sources listed in it and when you run that there's an additional drivers area where you can select the repo drivers | 20:38 |
| WXZ | how do you use compiz-grid with virtual box? | 20:39 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: I use something called "obmenu-generator" so I don't have to menu.xml everything (just stuff I want custom) | 20:39 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: cool. Anyway, can you maybe look at your global autostart file and see if it is different from mine? | 20:40 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Try adding this to that file: @/home/yourusername/.config/openbox/autostart.sh | 20:40 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: I am very much against such additions, beause globals dirs should not have references to local ones. | 20:41 |

| Flannel | Bubo: Look into scponly, it will help you set up what you want. | 20:51 |
| dodo3773 | Bubo: Oh I see. Hmm. Well, they would need access to /usr/bin /bin etc.. to run the programs you want them too. Or you will have tpo create a second virtual environment for them which may be easier | 20:51 |

| Flannel | Bubo: alright. Look into scponly. I believe it uses chroot as an underlying method, but helps you set it up. | 20:52 |
| MarcN | anyone have experience with gcstar and tellico? They are collection managers of things. | 20:52 |
| Bubo | Ok Flannel I will now | 20:52 |
| daftykins | yeah i remember using scponly | 20:52 |
| Rustyblade | Guys I am trying to install wine and I have tried everything I always get this error | 20:52 |
| Rustyblade | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 20:52 |
| Rustyblade | wine1.4 : Depends: wine1.4-i386 (= 1.4.1-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable | 20:52 |

| Faceless | I would like to install Ubuntu without GUI, is it possible? | 20:53 |
| bekks | Faceless: Yes. | 20:53 |
| daftykins | Faceless: get ubuntu server, or the alternate install ISO | 20:53 |
| Faceless | daftykins: It contains extra stuff tho, right? | 20:53 |
| bekks | Faceless: No. | 20:54 |
| daftykins | Faceless: which one? | 20:54 |
| nko | hi to all, someone could help me to config an old webacam to ubuntu 10.04? | 20:54 |
| Faceless | Preinstalled | 20:54 |
| Rustyblade | So no one can help me? | 20:54 |
| daftykins | Faceless: well you can get a minimal install image too i think | 20:54 |
| daftykins | used to be called the 'net install' CD in debian terms | 20:54 |
| Rustyblade | Feels ignored* | 20:54 |
| Flannel | mini install uses the same installer as alternate, so they both have the same options. | 20:54 |
| dodo3773 | Rustyblade: what's up? Can't install wine? | 20:55 |
| Rustyblade | yeah | 20:55 |
| Rustyblade | I get this | 20:55 |

| daftykins | Rustyblade: sorry. can you pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get -f install' ? | 20:55 |
| daftykins | Faceless: those are only installed if you select them at the start - with server | 20:55 |

| Rustyblade | Cause when I do "sudo apt-get install wine1.4" | 21:00 |
| Rustyblade | I get this | 21:00 |
| dodo3773 | Rustyblade: Why not just apt-get install wine | 21:00 |
| dodo3773 | Rustyblade: Instead of wine1.4 | 21:01 |
| Rustyblade | It says i need wine1.4 | 21:01 |
| dodo3773 | Rustyblade: What says that? | 21:01 |
| Rustyblade | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 21:01 |

| === denysonique__ is now known as denysonique | ||

| Rustyblade | daftykins: Yeah I am 64 bit so how do i do it? | 21:02 |
| === denysonique is now known as Guest38643 | ||

| ga_sk8er | i was able to run the .run file in command by this one site i found | 21:03 |
| ga_sk8er | then part of it says to execute the file in terminal | 21:03 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1444063/ | 21:03 |
| ga_sk8er | im not sure on how to do that | 21:03 |
| ga_sk8er | i type execute filename & i get nothing | 21:03 |
| daftykins | ga_sk8er: are you sure you can trust the source? "./file.run" would do it after chmod'ing +x | 21:03 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest39500 | ||
| jrib | ga_sk8er: what is this .run file for? | 21:04 |
| ga_sk8er | video card driver | 21:04 |
| daftykins | ga_sk8er: you must always './file' instead of 'file' as a security sorta mechanism | 21:04 |
| Flannel | Yes. Rustyblade, your PPA is causing your headaches. | 21:04 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: is there a reason you aren't using the repositories? | 21:05 |
| daftykins | Rustyblade: ah-har ye were sources.list modding, tut tut ;) | 21:05 |
| Flannel | Rustyblade: Do you want wine? or wine1.4? | 21:05 |
| ga_sk8er | idk what ur talking about | 21:05 |
| bekks | daftykins: It has nothing to do with security. It has something to do with the fact the current directory possibly not being in $PATH | 21:05 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: Wine1.4 :D | 21:05 |
| ga_sk8er | i used the software center to try to look for my driver & got nothing | 21:05 |
| DarkPhonix | hi all | 21:05 |
| DarkPhonix | my ubutntu install freezes at the grub screen | 21:05 |
| DarkPhonix | no timeout counter, no keyboard response | 21:05 |
| dodo3773 | ga_sk8er: What driver are you looking for? | 21:05 |
| Flannel | Rustyblade: disable the wine ppa, then do a source update, then we'll start over with error messages again. | 21:05 |
| DarkPhonix | alreayd tried to grub-install same thing | 21:05 |
| DarkPhonix | any ideas how to fix this? | 21:05 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: what card? | 21:06 |
| ga_sk8er | i have the driver downloaded from the ati site (the linux version) i just cant get the .run file to install it | 21:06 |
| ga_sk8er | x300 | 21:06 |
| usr13 | ga_sk8er: You may have to enable the executable bit | 21:07 |
| Evil_Eric | hey guys hows it going its been awhile since ive been active here and here is my issue in ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit i want to remove or hide the im status with out removing the entire indicator bar thanks | 21:07 |
| dodo3773 | ga_sk8er: Does this help?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 21:07 |
| ga_sk8er | i checked the box for it to run in terminal if thats what u mean | 21:07 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: Alright done | 21:07 |
| WXZ | I need to figure out how to do optimal package selection, given a list of packages, how do I find the minimal # of packages to install to install all the packages? | 21:08 |
| jrib | WXZ: i'm curious why you want to do this | 21:08 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: Should try "sudo apt-get install wine" again? | 21:08 |
| dodo3773 | WXZ: What do you mean? Like a dependency tree? | 21:08 |
| WXZ | dodo3773: yes | 21:08 |
| mega1 | how do i see what services are running | 21:08 |
| WXZ | jrib: because I've got my synaptic history files, and I want to know exactly what it is I marked for installation | 21:09 |
| dodo3773 | WXZ: Do you have this command: apt-rdepends | 21:09 |
| ga_sk8er | theres 3 options for downloaidng this file ...a debian.tar.gz ...a ubuntu4.dsc....a orig.tar.gz | 21:09 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: What now? | 21:09 |
| Cong | A dependency tree it all the files that are need to run a program. | 21:09 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: is nothing available to you when you go to "software sources" and look in the "additional drivers" tab? | 21:09 |
| Septima | ga_sk8er: chmod +x blah.run | 21:09 |
| CrazyZurfer | Hi, when i'm watching a video in full screen mode the screensaver starts anyway and it is very annoying, is there a way to stop it? thanks! | 21:09 |
| WXZ | dodo3773: downloading now | 21:10 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: did not solve it | 21:10 |
| Flannel | Rustyblade: Yeah, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine | 21:10 |
| DarkPhonix | anyone.. ubuntu grub freeze on menu? | 21:10 |
| dodo3773 | WXZ: Downloading what? Just put that in your terminal and see if it is what you want. No need to download anything I dont think? | 21:10 |
| jrib | WXZ: you can probably just use apt-mark to list the packages you installed manually | 21:10 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Huh. Weird. Did it work the other way (the way you didn't want to do it)? | 21:11 |
| WXZ | dodo3773: I don't have it, that's why I need to install it | 21:11 |
| jrib | WXZ: or some related command | 21:11 |
| dodo3773 | WXZ: Oh gotcha ;) | 21:11 |
| ga_sk8er | septima... itried that & it dontlook like its doing anything | 21:11 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: my wife just got home, so I left the pc for a moment. I did try adding to the global file (but without the explicit home dir) and also to .../lxsession/... | 21:11 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1444070/ | 21:11 |
| Evil_Eric | my issue in ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit i want to remove or hide the im status with out removing the entire indicator bar thanks | 21:11 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Okay lets try just adding a single app to the global file and see if that works | 21:12 |
| Flannel | Rustyblade: Alright. What package pinning/holding have you done? That seems to be the problem, is that it's not going to install anything until you fix the broken packages. | 21:12 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: I have no idea how to do that | 21:13 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Wait a minute. Does lubuntu already source ~/.config/autostart?? | 21:13 |
| Rustyblade | Flannel: Do I use Synaptic | 21:13 |
| Cong | Evil_Eric, that's not possible. | 21:13 |
| Evil_Eric | thanks cong | 21:13 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: You created this file & it didn't work either: ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 21:14 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart | 21:15 |
| Flannel | Rustyblade: You can. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto explains what it is. We're not trying to get you to do it, just trying to figure out if you *have* done it. Can you please pastebin /etc/apt/preferences/ and also the contents of any files in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ | 21:15 |
| Cong | Evil_Eric, your welcome. | 21:15 |
| CrazyZurfer | thanks ;) | 21:16 |
| CrazyZurfer | Hi, when i'm watching a video in full screen mode the screensaver starts anyway and it is very annoying, is there a way to stop it? thanks! | 21:16 |
| ga_sk8er | im ready to just format my linux partition & give up | 21:16 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: is nothing available to you when you go to "software sources" and look in the "additional drivers" tab? | 21:16 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: I don't think lubuntu sources .config/autostart | 21:16 |
| ga_sk8er | no its empty | 21:16 |
| ga_sk8er | it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 21:17 |
| Cornwallis | crazyzurfer: can't you just go system settings>brightness and lock>turn screen when inactive for: never? | 21:17 |
| Cong | Do I need to worry about fragmentation on EXT2 filesystems? | 21:17 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: did you follow the link on the wiki that you were given earlier? Did you check that there actually is a proprietary driver for your card available? | 21:17 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: actually, it does source .config/autostart, but as a dir that is full of .Desktop files. Can I just put a bash script there (or a symlink to an exec)? | 21:18 |
| prodnix | hi all, Im using 12.10 with gnome. the desktop feel very laggy and a constant low fps but glxgears runs at 350 fps, any ideas? | 21:18 |
| ga_sk8er | so many ppl were giving links & terminal commands, idk whickh link ur referring to | 21:18 |
| jrib | !ati | ga_sk8er | 21:18 |
| ubottu | ga_sk8er: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 21:18 |
| CrazyZurfer | Cornwallis: I want the screen to get black for energy saving, and is annoying to go to settings everytime I'm going to see a youtube video, or a movie, etc | 21:19 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Just create a .desktop file that execs your autostart or a script of choosing etc.. | 21:19 |
| Cornwallis | I'm not sure how to prevent that then. aside from just changing the setting back the next time. | 21:20 |
| ga_sk8er | i was gonna try the repositories like someone suggested but theres 3 different file types to download. nobody answered me which one to get | 21:20 |
| ga_sk8er | orig.tar.gz....debian.tar.gz....or ubuntu4.dsc | 21:21 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: that feels a bit convulted. Is that how you do it? | 21:21 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: you just said that there were no drivers available to you in "additional drivers". If there were drivers available to you in the repositories, they would be listed there. I strongly recommend you read the link ubottu just gave and follow the steps there | 21:21 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: No I don't have to do any of this stuff. I use openbox without all the bells and whistles of lxde | 21:22 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: I see | 21:22 |
| ga_sk8er | ok | 21:22 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: I don't use a dm either. | 21:22 |
| kostkon | CrazyZurfer, try caffeine. https://launchpad.net/caffeine The download link is this: https://launchpad.net/caffeine/2.4/2.4.1/+download/caffeine_2.4.1%2B419%7Eoneiric1_all.deb | 21:23 |
| ga_sk8er | i have a proprietary driver...i downloaded a driver straight from ati for linux...u asked if i had proprietary or not | 21:23 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: ah | 21:23 |
| JoeQuery | What terminal/stty option would cause my terminal to echo commands back to me after I press enter? | 21:23 |
| CrazyZurfer | Kostkon: Thanks, I'll try | 21:23 |
| JoeQuery | If I do `ls hahaha`, I see "ls hahah" on the next line and then the result | 21:24 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: mine is like this (I use zsh): /etc/inittab -> .zprofile -> .xinitrc | 21:24 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: again, I'm going to suggest you follow the steps on the link ubottu gave you. Make sure you follow the initial steps there which include figuring out what driver is right for your card and works on your ubuntu version (if such a driver exists). | 21:24 |
| ga_sk8er | oh i am following those instructions | 21:25 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: ok | 21:25 |
| ga_sk8er | someone had asked if i had proprietary or not...i was just answering their question | 21:25 |
| jrib | !who | ga_sk8er | 21:26 |
| ubottu | ga_sk8er: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 21:26 |
| ga_sk8er | ok sorry | 21:26 |

| Kilumnati | no error | 21:33 |
| Kilumnati | no erros.. but now when i boot.. i only get ubuntu as option | 21:33 |
| Kilumnati | no win 8 | 21:33 |

| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: besides dock, anything specific I should start? | 21:34 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Cause the dock etc.. is not in your openbox autostart file | 21:34 |
| Septima | Kilumnati: it should have listed what it was adding to the grub menu when you executed sudo update-grub | 21:34 |
| aaas | jrib thanks | 21:34 |

| Septima | qwebirc45961: if you chose the partition which contains your stored files, yes.. ubuntu's installer would format it | 21:37 |
| ga_sk8er | dodo which link did u send? | 21:37 |
| jrib | ga_sk8er: that doesn't say anything about ubuntu and in any case just says you should use the "radeon" driver | 21:37 |
| qwebirc45961 | Aw. | 21:37 |
| qwebirc45961 | All right, thanks, Septima. | 21:37 |

| Evil_Eric | i was able to hide the im status | 21:40 |

| ga_sk8er | idk which one to install...theres 3 differnt file types | 21:41 |
| Evil_Eric | but now my issue is that ubuntu wants to reinstall the package i had modify and even locking the package dosent work because its the same numbers | 21:42 |
| dodo3773 | ga_sk8er: ?? | 21:42 |
| Cong | Evil_Eric, congrats. | 21:42 |
| Evil_Eric | thanks cong | 21:42 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: how is it with packages though? Large repositories? | 21:42 |
| dodo3773 | ga_sk8er: Okay baby steps. Pastebin this for us: lspci -vvnn | grep VGA | 21:42 |
| usr13 | ga_sk8er: What is your video card? (What does lspci say about it? | 21:42 |
| ga_sk8er | orig.tar.gz debian.tar.gz or 0ubuntu4.dsc | 21:43 |

| zoidberg- | Hey guys, i have a really wierd problem on Ubuntu server (latest 64bit version). i setup ssh keys, and now when i try logging in i get pubkey access denied errors repeatedly and then all of a sudden it allows me in, check out this: http://codepad.org/XD5lXU6d - It is a vmware guest, running on an vmware esxi host. Whats even stranger is, when i get the failed ssh attempts, i jump onto the vmware console for that vm, logi | 21:44 |
| prodnix | Any ideas why my gnome feels incredibly unresponsive | 21:44 |

| guntbert | zoidberg-: your question got cut off - #ubuntu-server might be better suited anyway | 21:45 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: What do you mean by complete? Yeah I guess. It's a debian based distro | 21:45 |
| ga_sk8er | usr13 idk how to run it | 21:45 |
| Evil_Eric | ubuntu wants to reinstall the package i had to modify but its the same version number on the package and just locking the package isnt working | 21:45 |
| ga_sk8er | software center shows it is installed but it must be one of those programs that runs from terminal cause im not finding it | 21:46 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: in that case, nice | 21:46 |
| shwouchk__ | dodo3773: I don't have to mess with Xorg.conf, etc though to get it working, right? | 21:46 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: Yeah. Not too bad. The install is really nice too. You'll see if you ever test it in a vm or something | 21:46 |
| Cong | Evil_Eric, you don't have to install it though. It's unlike the evil Windows update that wants to update when you shutdown. | 21:46 |
| Evil_Eric | i know but its agrovating seeing it in my update box | 21:47 |
| dodo3773 | shwouchk__: You shouldn't. It's not really a diy distro except the openbox stuff (but it kinda sounds like you already know what you're doing there). | 21:47 |

| ubottu | ZombieRamen: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 22:40 |

| TheLordOfTime | ZombieRamen, Mint isn't supported here in this channel. For Mint support, you'll have to ask on #linuxmint-help over on irc.spotchat.org | 22:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | ZombieRamen, Mint tweaks the repositories a bit after they "derive" from 12.04, so we can't really help with Mint that much. | 22:41 |

| escott | Claire, what is the underlying device? | 23:19 |

| escott | Claire, so this is LVM? | 23:20 |

| TheLordOfTime | Claire, in the installation process, did you choose to use LVM? | 23:24 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, last i checked, its not by default, and it should be asking you whether to use LVM or not | 23:24 |

| TheLordOfTime | escott, you may be waiting a bit for me to get the ISO, D/L speeds here are crap right now due to regional routing issues | 23:27 |
| escott | bellhuey, you could also try a filesystem designed around ssd including things like btrfs, although i question the value of that for consumer ssd | 23:28 |
| * TheLordOfTime points at the 20 minute download wait | 23:28 | |
| bellhuey | escott: is btrfs production ready for ubuntu? | 23:28 |

| escott | TheLordOfTime, well its lvm according to parted | 23:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, last i checked it shouldnt be LVM by default | 23:28 |

| Claire | escott 5 minecraft servers programmed by a monkey on crack causing file errors, I tthought I stopped it from doing this in the fstab and remounting always worked befpore, but guess not | 23:31 |
| escott | Claire, (a) no program unless it is going O_DIRECT should be able to damage the filesystem, and even O_DIRECT should be safe (b) not sure how you would fix this via fstab (c) you should be running fsck if you ever have errors (d) can you send the output of dmesg via paste.ubuntu.com | 23:33 |

| Ben64 | Claire: fsck from a livecd or something | 23:39 |
| TheLordOfTime | i agree with Ben64, fsck from a livecd/liveusb | 23:40 |
| Claire | its the same load of crap every time this happens, rebooting is not an option because I do not have physical access to this computer | 23:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | you'll still need to reboot. | 23:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, is this a dedi in some datacenter? | 23:40 |
| Claire | yes | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | you cannot fsck from itself, that is bad | 23:40 |
| escott | Claire, the remount ro on errors is there fore your protection. by taking that out you give the system no choice, either corrupt the disk further or blow up | 23:40 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, file a support ticket with the datacenter and have THEM fsck it. | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | fsck even warns you about it - WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you ***WILL*** | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | cause ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage. | 23:40 |
| Claire | trying to avoid 1-2 week down time | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | it takes like 10 minutes to fsck :| | 23:41 |
| escott | Claire, if you are eating drives with that system then it is something else... unstable power supply, inadequate ventilation, dust, etc | 23:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, tis either 1-2 week downtime, or server death ;P | 23:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | i agree with escott | 23:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, and the fact you don't have direct access since its a dedi provided by some datacenter, only the datacenter itself can truly help | 23:41 |
| dr_willis | mice building a nest in the case. ;) | 23:41 |
| TheLordOfTime | (hence why they keep support ticket systems around) | 23:41 |
| Claire | I monitor tempatures and voltages and tested the system myself, its the same exact set of symptoms every single time and it is soley isolated to after the servers startup, and this exact setup was used before on a much inferior system with lesser drives | 23:42 |
| Ben64 | must not be a very good datacenter if they replaced the drive 5 times and not checked anything else for a problem | 23:42 |
| Claire | and every time a fsck shows corruption in the world files, removes them and then it says there is no issue | 23:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, wait, you're making 0 sense. | 23:42 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, is this a system *you* own that's co-located in a datacenter, or a system provided to you by the provider for that datacenter? | 23:43 |
| Claire | i own that is co-located | 23:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | if its a colo you have the right usually to get physical access to the machine in an emergency | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | then you have a hardware error most likely | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | i'd vote power supply | 23:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | agreed with Ben64 | 23:43 |
| allexmb | claire, need an admin ? | 23:43 |
| TheLordOfTime | I'm voting hard drive overuse, 5 minecraft servers + constant writing = bad. | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | oh 5 servers on one drive? | 23:44 |
| escott | Claire, there have been fs bugs before, but they are pretty well flushed out except for unusual filesystems or unusual mount options | 23:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | Ben64, that's what they said, 5 minecraft servers on one system. and that's pretty taxing given Minecraft does constant drive writes. | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | yeah | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | lots of tiny files being changed constantly | 23:44 |
| TheLordOfTime | Yeeup. | 23:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | ... crap that wasn't meant for here. | 23:45 |
| Claire | then why would this work fine in all my other setups and, 1 minecraft server has the ability to corrupt drives, Ive seen it myself, Im not trying to debate the cause, I have seen it first hand, Im just trying to get an answer to remouting the filesystem without write-protection or simply force the remount | 23:45 |
| * TheLordOfTime meant to say "mhm" | 23:45 | |
| escott | even then the drive should be able to handle lots of scattered rights unless there was something else aggravating the situation | 23:45 |
| escott | writes | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | Claire: you need to fix it first | 23:45 |
| TiagoTiago | hi | 23:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | also agreed with escott, but i've also seen drives damaged en-route to datacenters just by in transit. | 23:45 |
| Claire | I cant fix something that is untouchable, the drive needs to be writable beforw I can do anything | 23:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, so its quite possible the drives were... "damaged' in some way en route to the Datacenter they're co-loing with. | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | Claire: you cannot fix it from the system. you need a livecd or something | 23:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, i gave you the two solutions: (1) go request access to the machine directly, or (2) file a support ticket for them to fsck it. | 23:46 |
| escott | Claire, who is actually installing the drive | 23:46 |
| rob0 | Ubuntu 10.4 LTS: I need to do SASL client AUTH using LOGIN mechanism. I don't see a libsasl2-modules-login package. How do I get LOGIN mechanism support? | 23:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, otherwise, we can't really help you, you *need* a live environment to fsck, otherwise it damages things. | 23:47 |
| GEEGEEGEE` | how do i find my sound device on ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| GEEGEEGEE` | like /dev/ ... | 23:47 |
| Claire | I installed the first two and they did the last 3, it is extremely unlikely that 5 drives fail at the same eaxt and I mean down to the hour, times after install. | 23:47 |
| TiagoTiago | quick question: do i need to use the livedisk mode on a removable USB drive to have Ubuntu work without hitches on different machines or can i install it the normal way on the USB disk and it will still load all the right drivers etc when i plug it on another machine? | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | Claire: right, you probably have another hardware problem | 23:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, unlikely but not impossible. there's many reasons you could be dying out, could be powersupply or other hardware issues. | 23:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, NONE OF WHICH is going to be fixed unless you ask the datacenter to take a look (FILE A SUPPORT TICKET) | 23:48 |
| dr_willis | the creepers are eating all the bits and bytes. ;) | 23:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | datacenters usually have on-call techs for issues when you or a designated person can't get to the datacenter. | 23:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, got the ISO, standby for server ISO default stuffs. | 23:48 |
| rob0 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cyrus <-- this is about Cyrus IMAP, not Cyrus SASL | 23:49 |
| escott | Claire, are your mount options unusual | 23:49 |
| Claire | I tested everything thorougly and had them do so as well. Again, if I do not start the software it does not corrupt, those servers are programmed ass backwards and I have personally seen my self what they do. Just because it likes to trash its world file does not mean the device needs to be remounted, thats the core issue right there, the servers can corrupt them selves to nothing for all I care, but ubuntu wanting to hop in on the | 23:50 |
| Claire | this was specificly disabled on my last setup and it never happened after the fiest time over 2 years | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | Claire: then save the world files on a ramdrive? | 23:50 |
| GEEGEEGEE` | how do i find my sound device on ubuntu? Like /dev/ ... | 23:50 |
| escott | Claire, one thing you could try would be to create a large image file "dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/file.img" of size sufficient for the world file, and mkfs.ext2 on that image file, and mount it loop. it might localize writes to some extent and isolate any corruption to that particular image file | 23:51 |
| djzn | anyone knows how to circunvent the "compiz" cursor size bug in Ubuntu? | 23:51 |
| Claire | That was my next step but I cant do anytrhing wile in this state. Can I not just push a workable copy of my os or something useable to a ramdrive then boot to that and unmount the harddrive from there? | 23:51 |
| Ben64 | Claire: you should be able to reboot and have write access again | 23:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, got an answer on the LVM thing. | 23:53 |
| Claire | if I reboot the computer doesnt boot in wanting prompts, ubuntu was not programmed to have no physical access it seems and all I have right now is SSH until we can work up the funds for a KVM | 23:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, by default, if you don't change the option at the installaiton method screen, it says "Guided, with LVM" | 23:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | (for blank disks) | 23:53 |
| escott | TheLordOfTime, ok. that makes sense | 23:53 |
| TheLordOfTime | escott, but only if you hit enter every time you see a prompt | 23:53 |
| WR47HANZ | does anyone have any idea why upon installing ubuntu and restarting the screen is very scewed? | 23:53 |
| allexmb | heh claire | 23:53 |
| allexmb | its so easy, some things | 23:53 |
| WR47HANZ | ive installed twice now and its the same both times | 23:53 |
| Ben64 | Claire: what does that mean? | 23:53 |
| escott | Claire, ubuntu is perfectly capable of having no physical access if the hardware works | 23:53 |
| maujhsn | Thanks to ubuntu linux programs like "ffmpeg", "kdenlive", "Audacity" & "lib-visual" your videos can be as imaginative as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6AV1tElU4 Enjoy it! | 23:53 |
| Claire | clearly, if you NEVER need to debug or reboot into some sort of repair console, then your just screwed | 23:54 |
| Ben64 | just reboot... | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | the read only goes away after reboot | 23:55 |
| Claire | again , cant reboot or the computer does not start back up, if that was an option I would have done it already | 23:55 |
| Ben64 | why wouldn't it boot? | 23:55 |
| escott | !nomodeset | WR47HANZ | 23:56 |
| ubottu | WR47HANZ: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:56 |
| WR47HANZ | I set that | 23:56 |
| WR47HANZ | in fact, I ended up checking everything in f6 | 23:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, not a true solution, but sudo init 6 sends the reboot signal, it shouldn't powerdown the machine. | 23:56 |
| escott | GEEGEEGEE`, generally you should be going through the libalsa provided by pulse | 23:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | (don't do that unless you're sure nothing's really writing) | 23:57 |
| escott | WR47HANZ, well what kind of graphics card do you have | 23:57 |
| WR47HANZ | nvidia gtx 560ti | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | Greetings and Salutations, bitches. | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | I'm here to inquire about things more important than 90.01% of the people joining this channel have. | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | In fact, it's not what I'm about to inquire about that makes it important, it's the truths I will be presenting today. | 23:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | Claire, but again, i don't usually run dedicateds, most of my stuff runs in VMs on a dedicated, so the dedi almost never gets rebooted. | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | Who's bright idea was it to limit 32-bit Ubuntu 12.10 to hardware with CPUs having a pae extension? | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | I was told about this by a frend, and I couldn't fathom such a stupid decision. I tried it myself and lo and behold, it's true; henceforth me asking. | 23:58 |
| Ben64 | dingoateyourbaby: no | 23:58 |
| TheLordOfTime | !enter | dingoateyourbaby | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | Does canonical honestly think of Ubuntu as providing an excellent enough user experience along with being something people would urge others to use in the future, that it did this out of conceit? | 23:58 |
| ubottu | dingoateyourbaby: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | I assure you that this is not the case. Although, yes someone could use debootstrap on a live cd with the necessary tools and partition, debootstrap into the partition, and proceed to build a kernel from with in chrooting into the partition, that doesn't require PAE. | 23:58 |
| mnathani | What do I need to install to fix this compile error: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdlib.h:65:1: warning: no previous prototype for ptsname_r [-Wmissing-prototypes] I am trying to compile libbgpdump-1.4.99.13 | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | But are you assuming that people would bother to do that for the sake of Ubuntu? In addition to assuming that Ubuntu will be prevalently used on newer hardware? Is this that conceit I mentioned earlier? | 23:58 |
| dingoateyourbaby | Please respond. | 23:58 |
| FloodBot1 | dingoateyourbaby: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:58 |
| WR47HANZ | O_o | 23:58 |
| escott | dingoateyourbaby, we don't program it. please dont bring those complaints here | 23:59 |
| dingoateyourbaby | Not a flood. | 23:59 |
| Ben64 | is definitely a flood, go away | 23:59 |
| dingoateyourbaby | FloodBot1: I'm aware of IRC's character limit, this makes it more readable. | 23:59 |
| dingoateyourbaby | please respond to my question | 23:59 |
