UltimaKRshaolin77: that one had 512MB of dedicated RAM, which is nice...define lower though because for example 6200 is better than the 800000:04
user82does nvidia still support older cards like the 8xxx series?00:05
blackshirtuser82, i think opensource driver version has a great support for 8xx series00:06

Tex_Nickad_da : your question seemed to me to be a bit ambigous ... could you please expand it a bit :)00:31

Zeivahaylo: What card do you have? What CPU or motherboard chipset?00:34
bekkshaylo: You dont need > 24 FPS, since your eye cant resolve the difference on higher rates, biologically. :)00:34
bekkshaylo: It is not new.00:34
Zeivabekks: Not true00:34
haylobekks: im a gamer, i can see like 10,000 fps00:34

haylobekks: seriously. a violinist hears music much differently than a normal person. likewise a gamer can percieve subtle differences in performance00:35

bekkshaylo: Even a gamer cant break the rules of biology and physics.00:36
ad_daTex_Nick: I found what I was looking for. Thank you :)00:36
haylobekks: you need to look at some computers running different frame rates00:36
ZeivaYou dont need to be a gamer to see the differance between 24FPS and higher. Thats one of those old dumb myths thats been disproven for decades00:36
ZeivaThe eye does not see in FPS, geez00:36
Ben64bekks: dude, you can definitely see over 24fps, I'd say at least 60fps and above might be indistinguishable00:37
Tex_Nickad_da : you're welcome00:37
bekksBen64: Then provide evidence on that please.00:37
haylopeople dont see in fps's00:37
FlynsarmyWhen using mdadm to create a raid array you specify sda1, sdb1 etc. I have a machine with 24 drive bays and only a few drives plugged in. When I plug in more drives, won't sda, sdb etc change? Won't that mess with the array?00:37

dr_willistime to refer to the wikipedia pages.. ;)  and get back OT.00:38

ZeivaThis explains it well: http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm00:38
Zeiva24 frames is enough to make a movie appear smooth, but that does not mean we cant see MORE than that00:39

bekksYes. Marketing. Earning money. Thats the reason, at first glance. ;) And now off from OT.00:40
Ben64Zeiva: a 24fps movie only looks smooth because the huge amount of motion blur going on00:40

* dr_willis has blur even when sitting still..00:40
ZeivaBen64: One of the common tricks in consol gaming this day compared to PC gaming is to apply tons of motion blur. Lets them keep the graphics detail higher than the old consol hardware can actually manage by hiding the frame drops in blur :)00:41

ZeivaNow for a question of my own: I have a laptop with Xubuntu 12.10 ati HD3600 graphics with the open drivers which does not show any boot screen, its simply black until suddenly the desktop pop up. Is this intended or can I fix the bootscreen?00:46
MuphridZeiva: plymouth is broken in 12.10 for ati cards00:47
Flynsarmyare you able to create a raid array with mdadm by uuid rather than /dev/sdx?00:48
Muphridi think rollbacking xorg is a solution00:48
ZeivaMuphrid: Ahhh! Thanks a bunch, saves me the trouble of trying to fix that. I guess it'll eventually get fixed, either in a patch or with the next major release00:48
ZeivaMuphrid: Its a small issue, just that it would be nice to have a bootscreen since the laptop will be used by a computer novice. Could be useful if they had an idication that stuff was actually loading00:48
wikinkwireless prob in HP probook sometimes was not working properly in 12.04 but with 12.10 wireless is not shown in Network can any one help00:49
dr_willisI just remove pymouth as a solution to plymouth issues..00:50
dr_willisor use the failsafe text theme for pymounth00:50
MuphridZeiva: you can take a read at this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal.html00:51
Muphridyou dont need to isntall fglrx but an upgrade from that ppa would theoretically solve the plymouth corruption00:53
ZeivaMuphrid: I'd rather keep it stock and on the open source drivers to ensure it has a stable easy upgrade path. Messing with xorg and such seems like a recipie for disaster when the next major rev hits and the inteded owner clicks "yes please!" :)00:53
OerHeksbe carefull with PPA's , it is not supported here.00:53
Muphridas you wish00:54
Zeivabesides the most demanding thing they'll be doing is playing the card games and browsing the web. I doubt the real drivers would help much sadly00:54

ferret_guyis there an application that allows a server with more than one LAN interface to act as a "router" with DHCP passthrough02:49

enriqhi. How do I install a 12.04 to a new partition, from my running 10.04? I'd like dual boot. (of course upgrade does not work)02:53

Pei_Hello, i'm going to try and install ubuntu for the first time, although I am a seasoned slackware and archlinux user02:58
Pei_it's just that, the install for archlinux is a joke02:59
bazhangPei_, using the live cd? the minimal installer (for Ubuntu)?03:00
Pei_no downloading uhm ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso03:01
bazhangthat'd be the live cd03:01
Pei_i have two exact same laptops, one is windows 7, the other one i am making a linux desktop03:02
enriqbtw can I mount the 12.04 live cd iso from ubuntu 10.04 and install 12.04 to another partition?03:02
dr_willisenriq:  that may take some doing to install from within 10.0403:04
dr_willisenriq:  you could set up grub2 to boot the ISO file.03:04
enriqdr_willis, a grub2 entry in the menu that boots the iso? sounds good03:05
dr_willisenriq:  i dont recall if 10.04 used grub2 or not. ;)03:06
dr_willisenriq:  i used to keep a /boot/ partion of about 3gb in size. to keep a few ISO files on. and had grub2 set to boot them. a Ubuntu Desktop for reinstgalling, a gparted, and a few other rescue type isos ;)03:06
enriqdr_willis, good idea, I have a separate /boot ... 10.04 apparently has grub103:07
dr_willisthat sort of shoots that idea in the foot. ;) unless you got a Flash drive.. but then you could just put 12.10 on the flash and boot that..03:08
enriqdr_willis, grub2 is on the repos apparently but not installed... should I...03:09

iKernelHi guys, having trouble transferring files from my computer to my phone using bluetooth, Xubuntu 12.10 x86_64. Seems to pair with the phone succesfully, however the pass key I see on my phone is different from what comes up in the wizard. When I try to send files to the phone, it connects, then gets stuck on 0.00 B/s/s then says Error occurred while sending file (filename). When trying to browse files on the device, it immediately throws t03:15
iKernelhe error "Failed to open "obex://[0C:C6:6A:95:5A:31]/". Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)." I've not tried doing this on Windows, and I don't have a USB cable, even if I did the usb ports in this laptop are broken.03:15

dbromok. after running the command where does the config go for xrandr04:45
sidney_dragon?04:45
memandveryhappy: But isn't there a config file somewhere that specifies what to do when I try to lock screen?04:45
bertiebdbrom: which command?04:45
OerHekssidney, install libdvdread4 and run the install-css.sh script, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs04:46

samuraibsdIs there a known issue in 12.04 that makes wifi not connect to WEP encrypted networks?04:47
hangdeadmanBen64: is that it?04:47
Ben64hangdeadman: yeah04:47
enriqis it advisable to have the partition containing /boot to be also the one with the bootable flag?04:47
dbromthe thing is two monitors are clones of each other and the third is black04:47
veryhappymemand: ok, here it could be the solution: Try the screensaver command, and see if this is the keyboard (shortcut) or the application (graphics function) that is not working gnome-screensaver-command -l04:47
hangdeadmanBen64: I tried "ls -il Music"04:47
bertiebdbrom: Okay. When I run that script to set the outputs for my montors correctly, so it is the config file of sorts04:48
bertiebdbrom: ^^ s/what I said/not ten to five in the morning grammar/04:49
Ben64hangdeadman:  "find . -inum 27656483 -exec rm -fri {} \;"04:49
memandveryhappy: not to be an smart a** but as I said earlier I purged the gnome screensaver and installed xscreensaver04:49
zivesteranyone seen nfs mount issues with an updated 12.10? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474772/04:49
dbromi change the xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 2560x1440 -r 60 to 1920x1080 -r 6004:50

hangdeadmanBen64: rm: descend into directory `./Music/\235\235 Void'?04:50

Ben64hangdeadman: yeah it'll confirm everything that it's deleting04:51
bertiebdbrom: my typing is getting quite poor04:51

bertiebdbrom: basically you'll need to change --output too04:51
hangdeadmanBen64: sould i just hit 'enter'?04:51
Ben64hangdeadman: y for yes04:52
veryhappywell, i'm writing you what you have to try now: create a script called screenLock.py with the following code in it:  http://pastebin.com/qBu1YTgA04:52
veryhappymemand: place it in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/customExtensions/screenLock.py04:53
Ben64so why not just use the gnome screensaver?04:53
hangdeadmanBen64: I typed 'y' after everything and at the end got "find: `./Music/\235\235 Void': No such file or directory"04:53

JesseHbazhang, Also, talking about Ubuntu, in #ubuntu shouldn't be off-topic friend.05:19
MK`hangdeadman: just uninstall and reinstall it.05:19
enriqapparently 12.04 can install alongside 10.04, what does it do? create a new root partition and share the rest? I would expect that05:19
IdleOne"talking" is not what this channel is for JesseH05:19
MK`but, the best solution might be resetting whatever settings it has to default instead05:19
IdleOneyou can "talk" in #ubuntu-offtopic05:19
MK`enriq: what do you mean alongside?05:20
enriqMK`, dual boot05:20
JesseHIdleOne, Thankyou for giving me a logical reason.05:20
enriqMK`, installer says that05:20
hangdeadmanMK`: how do i reset it to the default settings?05:20
MK`Ah. Well, you can install as many ubuntus as you want on a harddrive so long as you have space.05:20

enriqMK`, that was not my question05:21

kylescottmcgillSpeaking of Ubuntu Server, im just taking a punt, but Ubuntu Server is basically ubuntu without a GUI correct? so if i wanted to configure xorg and friends, that would be the better way to go yeah?05:25
dbromJimmy: not really, as long as you get the server locked down and patched. and I agree with dr_wills on it depends on what you like05:25
MK`enriq I don't know if sharing partitions is supported (aside from things like tmp)05:25
bertiebdbrom: no luck with xrandr then?05:25
MK`kylescottmcgill: Ubuntu server has different kernel compile options05:25
MK`but overall it is the same05:26
kylescottmcgillMK`: thankyou, thats a no then05:26
dbromno yet...05:26
kylescottmcgillI would rather avoid having to screw with the kernal, ty05:26
MK`yup05:26
dbromdid you read my strange things05:27
ackpacketHas anyone seen any good isntructions for installing ubuntu to a usb?  Everything I can find through google so far either concerns installing ubuntu *from* a usb, or putting the ubuntu live cd with persistance onto a usb.  I'm looking for a legitimate installation though05:27
dr_willisif you want a desktop system - go with ubuntu desktop. and install the services you need05:27
yeats!liveusb | ackpacket05:27
ubottuackpacket: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent05:27
kylescottmcgillackpacket: what are you on now?05:27
ackpacketI'm on windows 7, but I have access to an ubuntu VM05:28
dr_willisackpacket:  you just tell the installer to install to  sdd or sdb or whatever the USB flash is... no differnt then installing to a normal internal HD.. be sure GRUB is installing to the USB also05:28
kylescottmcgillnevermind, yeats has you need05:28
yeatsackpacket: assuming you've seen those?05:28
dbromya. ubuntu desktop with the services you require is the same as the server addition05:28
dr_willisackpacket:  ive done full installs to usb hd, and usb flash and sdhc cards dozens of times05:28
bertiebdbrom: strange things? I was over in #libav so may have missed some05:28
dr_willisackpacket:  i normally make a live-usb and do a full install from IT to  my 'bigger' usb05:28
ackpacketI've tried going through the regular ubuntu installation process:  Inserting an ubuntu cd, booting, and using the permanent install.  Then i've selected the usb stick instead of my hd05:29
ackpacketit has plenty of errors that way =\05:29
dbromhere is something strange. I have four monitors one screen is black and the indicator is flashing the second is black and the indicator is on and the other two are closes....05:29
ackpacketFor starters it tries to alter the mbr on my hdd, not the flash05:29
dr_willisackpacket:  ive done it dozens of times with no hassles. I do manually partition the USB.05:29
dr_willisackpacket:  you TELL the grub loader in the pulldown thing where to go.. if all else fails. Unplug the internal HDs05:29
bertiebdbrom:  at a wild guess, the modes aren't right05:29
kylescottmcgilldbrom: what WM are you using? that sounds like a xrandr or xinama thing (spelling is wrong)05:29
dbromthe thing that the one thats black abd the indicator is solid is the main screen....05:30
dbromi havent done anything yet05:30
ackpacketOk let me give this a shot.  I'll load the ubuntu iso on a virtual machine, and go through the installation process but identify the usb as the destination.  Sound good?05:30
kylescottmcgillcan you get to a terminal?05:30
kylescottmcgilldbrom: ^05:30
dbromWM?05:30
hangdeadmanWhen trying to open my music folder with nautilus through the terminal, after a wait it crashes and I get "Bus error (core dumped)"05:30
ackpacketyeats: Yeah i've seen those sites, but isn't that different from a normal installation?05:31
kylescottmcgilldbrom: Window Manager, eg Gnome 3, Awesome WM, Xmonad, etc05:31
bertiebdbrom: eg, my WM doesn't set the DGM (in the apstebin example I gave) correctly so it doesn't display anything apart from "Input out of range"05:31
dr_willisackpacket:  i never do it via vbox. I boot a live-usb and then install to the real usb.05:31
bertiebdbrom: In another WM it just puts int into standby05:31
MK`My Update Manager says "Not all updates can be installed", the Partial upgrade recommendation, etc. Among them is linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, and linux-image-generic. What do I do?05:31
dbromThis is a total kubuntu 12.10 install...havent used windows in a few years05:32
ackpacketdr_willis: I do it through a vbox to save me the trouble of restarting, and as a safeguard incase I accidentally try to partition something I shouldn't05:32
kylescottmcgilldbrom: sounds like your having heaps of problems, i would disconnect all monitors apart from one, get that working properly, then move on the others, if you have the same screen for all four, once you have one working you will be able to just modify your xorg script, and you should be nearly there05:32
yeatsackpacket: it would begin as the installation image with a persistence file, but you could tailor it to be whatever you want05:32
bertiebdbrom: so I have to use xrandr to set the modes properly (there's a toool that spits out a reasonably correct modeline given an input resolution and refresh rate, the name of which escapes me at the moment)05:32
kylescottmcgillxrandr -q05:33
kylescottmcgillwill query to see what is avaliable according to your GFX and Kernal05:33
bertiebah, cvt is the one that gives the modelines05:33

dr_willisackpacket:  and the use of vbox may be whats causing you all the grief05:36
dbromjust went though the additional drivers05:36
dr_willisdbrom:  i thought you had 2 nvidia video cards?05:36

dr_williskylescottmcgill:  so far it can.. in theory. ;)05:38
yeatsMK`: try typing 'indicator-<TAB>' for autocomplete05:38
dr_williskylescottmcgill:  we all know how often the nvidia drivers on linux lack features.05:38
kylescottmcgillhmmm im building up a PC atm and i have to get a GFX card, so i might look into that (been looking at ATI so far)05:38
MK`must be part of multiload.05:39

jayzon915I am curious about nVidia Drivers too... Trying to use WINE to game and my in game FPS is jumping around like crazy. Any advice?05:39
dr_willisI dont have enought desk or wall space for 4 monitors05:39

MK`yeats it's not showing up :( I have the package installed...05:40
yeatsMK`: not sure then05:40
dr_willisdbrom:  open source drivers may not support  multi monitors very well..  but you could always test them with a live cd. ;)05:41
kylescottmcgilldbrom: i dont think so, i think its just a x<something> issue05:41
dr_willisThere are often weird limits to the nvidia drivers.. for example i belive you cant rotate one monitor 90 degrees in linux. like you can in windows.05:41
dbromthe thing is that when i go into the Nvidia manager it sees all four but I only have access to two05:41
dbromi can to 180 wih mine05:42
dr_willisit might be a limit  of the drivers.. or a bug in the drivers.05:42
dr_willisfrom what i saw on askubuntu.com however. a guy with 2 identical cards set up 4 monitors. and gave his example xorg.conf05:42
dbromi have no idea what to do next05:43
dr_willisYou have 2 monitors that clone the other 2 basically?05:43
Hwkillerdr_willis: you should be able to rotate with nvidia05:43
Hwkilleri've done it05:43
dr_willisHwkiller:  you couldent (from what i read) rotate just ONE of the monitors. :) that was the core of the issue i was reading about05:43
MK`what about my other issues?05:43
MK`My Update Manager says "Not all updates can be installed", the Partial upgrade recommendation, etc. Among them is linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, and linux-image-generic. What do I do?05:43

bertiebFWIW, My experiece with AMD 3 monitor setup has been that neither the generic xorg (+/- reconfigure) not amdcccle would detect/save resolutions/refresh properly, so I went down the xrandr route which is working (touch wood) okay for now05:48

chaotixwhen creating a new live usb, what is the best filesystem type to format to?  i have heard that ext4 is best, but then why does the default live usb creator in ubuntu use (fat32?) ?05:52
dbromif i use two cards it will not allo me to combine the for together05:52
hangdeadmanWhat is the best looking and most customizable file manager for ubuntu besides nautilus?05:53
jeromestThe internet address is "http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_6music" , But I can't find the stream url . Can you help me ?05:53
dr_willischaotix:  a Live-usb uses fat32 becasuse its a live usb. :0 a full install would be best with one of the ext#'s05:53
TheHypnoTacowould there be a special reason to use the 32 bit version of a 64 bit version if the CPU supports 64 bit, but you only have 2 GBs of RAM? Such as does the 64 bit Ubuntu use more RAM than the 32 bit version like Windows ?05:53
dr_willischaotix:  you could put the live-usb stuff on a ext2/3/4 i think. but not sure why you would want to05:54
dr_willisTheHypnoTaco:  i use 64bit os on all my 64bit hardware reguardless of ram05:54
kylescottmcgillchaotix: use fat3205:54
kylescottmcgillMost computers can read this off the bat, and the boot partition on it needs to be fat32 anyway05:54
HwkillerIt doesn't really matter; people use fat32 so you can see the files on any system05:54
kylescottmcgillfor bios boots05:54
dr_willischaotix:  on a live usb. any space not used by the os/persistant files canbe used/accessed by windows - if you want.05:54
Hwkilleras long as grub2 has fs drivers for it, you can use it05:54
TheHypnoTacodr_willis: So it's not going to pull a Windows 7 and use 1.7 GBs ideling, when the 32 bit version with the same programs uses about 900 MBs only ?05:55

Hwkillerhangdeadman: or look into something totally different, like ranger. that's what I use05:56

machicolaJust installed Ubuntu 12.10.. how do I go about switching from unity to gnome type desktop?06:56
dr_willis!nounity06:56
ubottuUbuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic06:56
machicolathankyou06:57
dr_willisthe gnome-2 type fallback mode has been scheduled to be removed in a future relase.. so far its been kept alive. ;) so dont rely on it being here forever.06:57

whiterabbit_**New to linux** I currently run Windows 7 and run Diablo 3 flawlessly. 60+ fps with High Settings. I would like to move over to Ubuntu for many different reasons and the main thing that's holding me back is that I can not get Diablo 3 to run smoothly.07:20
whiterabbit_I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and switched from Unity to 'Gnome-Session-Fallback' because I've been reading that Unity has a negative impact on performance. I have upgraded the OS, 'apt-get upgrade' and believe that everything is updated to the fullest. I am using PlayOnLinux v4.1.8 and Wine 1.5.5 patched for Diablo 3. The game installs and appears to run fine. However, when I get in game the fps drops and jumps like crazy. I hav07:20
whiterabbit_e lowered all of the settings to low except I left the monitor resolution at 1080p. If there are mobs on the screen it drops to about 4 fps and is unplayable. It is not the initial game loading lag. I use all skills in town and I have ran through an entire Alk run with the performance sucking the entire way. :-)07:20

jarray52I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I don't have the upgrade option in Update Manager. Any suggestions?07:29
lorddeltaSo, I realize hibernate doesn't work on some machines...e.g. mine will go to sleep fine, but powering up doesn't work, I have to discard the sdisk data...is Canonical working on this and is there any way I can help? I'm just curious as to the state of work...07:29
lorddeltajarray52: check the settings07:30
lorddeltajarray52: you probably need to change the dropdown box from Check for new release "Never" to "Only LTS"07:30
jarray52lorddelta: Software Sources -> Updates -> Release Upgrade is set to "Long Term Support Releases only".07:31
lorddeltaSounds right. That's what I have mine set to. Then do a Check, it should let you know you can upgrade...07:31
whiterabbit_Can I get some help with nvidia drivers from anyone?07:31
jarray52lorddelta: If I change Software Sources -> Updates -> Release Upgrade to Normal releases, I get the option to upgrade to 10.10. However, that results in a failed to fetch error.07:32
jarray52lorddelta: I would prefer to do an LTS update.07:32
lorddeltajarray52: hmm, I can't say for sure (I did non LTS before 12.04), but it sounds like you have a repo problem; I can give you mine if it helps?07:33

Muhammad_SaadMy PC has a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01). Which driver performs better for this device? The default free one or the proprietary one?10:03
dr_williswhen somthing goes EOL theres a set time. then the files get moved to an archive server... you have Plenty of time to upgrade befor that happens10:04
Bonez12.10 server x64, no gui installed, server boots just fine, no console login prompt. how do i fix it?10:05
omryokay, the upgrade help page is useless10:06
dr_willisBonez:  thats unusual. whats the video card? it could be some quirk with the framebuffer console10:06
omrywhy on earth did they delete the old repo tree? are they that low on disk space?10:06
usr13Muhammad_Saad: How is it working now?10:06
dr_willisomry:  they move them to a archive server. for ease of maintance from what i gather10:06
Bonezdr_willis: no idea. didnt have any issues with 12.04, its dell optiplex so i'm guessing its intel10:07

Muhammad_SaadDoes the proprietary driver offer any performance benefit?10:09
dr_willisBonez:  you could try some differnt resolitions in the grub configs, or try nomodeset. but ive no idea why a server would need that.10:09

dr_willisdeb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse                  stuff gets moved to the 'old-releases'server10:10
dr_willisBonez:  hit 'e' at the grub menu. edit the line. thats looks similer to '.... quiet splash .....'   to be ' .... quiet nomodeset splash ...'10:10
dr_willisor you could just use 'nomodset text'   perhaps..10:11
dr_willisinstead of quiet nomodeset splash10:11
dr_willisor if you want real verbose text messages/logs   'noquiet nosplash nomodeset text'  ;)10:11
dr_willissome of these options may be outdated, or redundant these days10:11
penguinmandr_willis, i think it will default to no quiet assuming the quiet option isn't passed10:12
dr_willisyea. but i like to be  overkill. ;)10:12
dr_willisi normally set my defaults to be where stuff shows.10:13
dr_willisI think theres a 'verbose' option as well that gives a lot of text messages as it boots10:13
Bonezdr_willis, is there no file i can modify and just reboot?10:13
penguinmanyeah, i remember that10:13
dr_willisBonez:  you normally edit /etc/default/grub then rerun update-grub IF you want it permenet10:14
dr_willisediting grub menu is a ONE TIME for that boot only  option.10:14
penguinmangood for testing10:14
dr_willisYou said you couldent see the screen? or did i missread10:14
dr_willisif you can ssh in. ;) you could edit the /etc/default/grub10:14

dr_willisssh can do it then. ;)10:15

dr_willisBonez:  weird, I dont use server a lot.. i thought all that would disable the framebuffer..10:22

=== MartyMacFly is now known as MartyMcFly

penguinmanBonez, hmmm, does it look like it's using any kind of high res framebuffer on boot?10:30
Bonezdoesnt show anything during boot, just a black screen10:30
FlannelYou can, however, remove all of the plymouth themes, which should stop some of the silliness on boot.  This is as close as you're going to get to removing plymouth.10:31
dr_willistheres a text based pymouth theme also10:31
dr_willisWhy cant you remove pymouhth?10:31
usr13Bonez: grep getty /etc/init/*10:31
usr13Bonez: grep getty /etc/init/* | pastebinit10:32
penguinmanpassing boot time options to the kernel shouldn't require an initramfs update should it?10:32
Flanneldr_willis: because theres some parts of upstart (or something else in the boot sequence) that depend on things plymouth does.10:32
dr_willissudo update-alternatives --config text.plymouth10:32
dr_willisthat seems.. weird. :)10:33

=== Cutter is now known as Guest10143
dr_willisi really do wonder what actual functonality plymouth serves on a server install.10:37
penguinmanprobably none. my guess is just some legacy code in upstart requires it10:37
dr_willisor did they have to shoe-horn it in so hard to the system that they just cant remove it. :)10:37
Bonezall the plymouth services are stopped too btw10:38
dr_willisits actually part of that initrd or whats it called.. pre-loading disk image..10:38
dr_williswell once the system boots. plymouth would stop. ;) untill reboot/shutdown i think10:38
penguinmanso it's essentially compiled into the kernel? what....individual....came up with that idea?10:39
dr_willisI never did dig too deeply into the complexitys of the booting. :010:39
memandIs it possible when you launch a program trough terminal to specify witch workspace it should launch in, and that it should be maximized?10:39
dr_willispenguinman:  the idea was to have it so early in the boot process that the end user (granny and grampa) dont see any scary text messages and have a lovely boot animation10:39

penguinmanknacker, well, the way i would do that is boot up a live cd/usb and chroot into my install11:09
elxim trying to install windows 8 together with ubuntu on my internal HDD while i want to install W8 from an external HDD. i extracted the .iso but can't make the external HDD bootable11:09
elxhave searched all over the place but nothing works...11:09
elxany ideas?11:09
deniscknacker: I'd pull up a terminal and see if you can get the interface up using iwconfig (for wireless) or ifup for ethernet. I can suggest a few commands if you like, but I'm no expert!11:09
elxso my question is how can i make an external HDD bootable on ubuntu?11:10
knackerI've got a bunch of live cd's but can't or just don't know how to install specific packages from a CD.11:10
knackeri'll give the terminal another chance as I know very little, only that I had things going good for a while... thanx guys for dealing with dumb questions11:11
knackerdon't want to keep using this ancient laptop although it runs pretty good with Xfce11:12
knackerwhen I opened a terminal yesterday right after I noticed the applet was gone and my wifi light would not respond to the hardware switch and it didn't display any interface other than local11:13
deniscknacker: do you have a wireless connection you can connect to? If so, at the command line, type : sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "name of your network"11:14
dr_willisknacker:  install specific packages from a cd? You copied some .deb files to a cd?11:15
dr_williselx:  i just install grub to my external HD or usb, or even sd or sdhc card and they can boot.11:15
dr_williselx:  as for windows 8 however .. you should be asking in #windows on how set that up to install from a external medium11:16
knackeri've got a wireless, give me a sec and I'll let you know what I get back11:16

dreameunited6how to format a corrupted usb drive in ubuntu similar to dat of windows11:17
elxdr_willis, the issue is that making an external hdd bootable in windows is actually simple but nobody has any idea on how to do that on Ubuntu and i need that coz i am on ubuntu11:18
dr_williselx:  grub2 can boot ISO files.. if you use the right options..11:18
dr_williselx:  last i heard about windows isos you could 'dd' them to  a drive and boot that drive.11:18
knackernetwork manager is what got uninstalled along with a bunch of other packages11:18
dr_williselx:  windows specific tools MIGHT work with wine also.11:18

elxdr_willis, exactly thats how it is done on windows using the command prompt, no ideas on how could that be possible be ubuntu though :(11:19
dr_williselx:  exactly whats how?11:19
deniscknacker: the problem with trying to installing individual packages when not connected to the net is that you might not have all of the dependencies; best to try and connect to the net in my experience. Do you have an ethernet connection you could try? That's probably easier than wireless11:19
knackeri can't connect by ethernet either.  no response at all for any connectivity.11:21

videl_Anyone knows how to make unity bar to show up only on system key>?11:31
knackerif the warning about language was for me, sorry and no more from me.  sorry11:31
ikoniaknacker: no problem, thank you11:31
verddr_willis: thanks11:31
knackerso that was directed at me?11:32
ikoniaknacker: yes, that's why I said "knacker, please top with the language please"11:32
knackernot trying to be difficult, just wondering for future reference11:32
knackeroh, ... I see now11:32
deniscknacker: As long as your network card is recognised on boot, sounds like you'll be able to bring up eth0 (or eth1 depending on your hardware). You don't have to use the "vim" editor - a gui editor like gedit would be easier. Main thing is to change the interfaces file, then restart networking as described11:32
ikoniaknacker: normally if someone says your name, it's directed at the person who's name is referenced11:33
ikoniathere should be no need to touch the interfaces file, as the network cards are managed by network-manager11:33

deniscikonia: I think knacker has accidentally removed the network-manager package though...11:34
knackeri didn't notice, only saw the language and guessed it was for me. I am sorry. just trying to get my problems fixed without offending any sensitive people.  no more potty mouth from me, promise11:34
ikoniathen re-installing it is the solution11:34

deniscikonia: knacker is trying to connect to the net, so I'm trying to suggest ways to do that via the command line, given that network-manager has gone...11:36
ikoniaifconfig or "ip" will set an ip address11:36
ikoniaagain, there is no neet to mess with the interfaces file11:36
knackerand I am very thankful for the help denisc11:36
deniscknacker: no worries - best to follow the more experienced advice of ikonia here!11:37
vrnithinhi,11:37
knackeryes you are right, I accidentally removed the network manager when I removed a VPN package that I was not using.11:37
ikoniadenisc: where you are going is fine, just keep in mind that putting entries in the interface file, can cause problems when network manager is restored11:38
ikoniaso just doing a simple ifconfig and route add to get the interface up and restore network manager maybe easier (or not)11:38
ikoniaor a dhclient eth0 to get a dhcp address11:38
knackerif that is the case I would say that I am not experienced enough to start messing with my interface files...   when I do an ifconfig I am only seeing my loopback11:39
knackermy other interfaces are gone11:39
ikoniaknacker: sudo ifconfig -a do you only see "lo"11:40

ikoniavrnithin: you can check that by checking the link in a browser11:40
vrnithinikonia, i downloaded that package by browser11:41
knackeroops, as root I can see them all now.  let me play around or do you have a better suggestion.  thank you for the help11:41
ikoniavrnithin: ........why ?11:41
vrnithinhow can i use that .deb file with other fetched files to install bumblebee11:41
ikoniavrnithin: it's not something i'd recommend doing11:42
ikoniavrnithin: did you get the file from the same URL that's failing ?11:42

vrnithinikonia, yup11:42
B0R3D_W1Sd0mand not to break os11:42
ikoniavrnithin: ok, so if you do a "sudo apt-get update" does that repo sill error ?11:43
vrnithinikonia, but when i tried after apt-get update.. still it showing same error11:43
vrnithinikonia, only that package is remaining others out of 122 mb fetched11:44
ikoniavrnithin: sorry, when you do "sudo apt-get update" does that repo still error as part of that command11:44
vrnithinikonia, nope its updating fine11:44
knackershowing all my interface when running ifconfig as root but giving me error msg when I tried to bring wlan0 up11:44
ikoniavrnithin: ok, so the repo is available, we need to look at why that package is unavailable to you11:45
knacker"not possible due to RF-kill" is what came up when I ran ifconfig wlan0 up11:45
deniscknacker: I'd stick with eth0 for the moment - wlan0 is your wireless interface - at least try ethernet first11:45

ikoniavrnithin: you should have it already added if you're trying to install it11:48
vrnithinikonia, yup i already added11:49
ikoniaso re-adding it does seem a good move11:49
vrnithinikonia, can i add this file manually to other fetched files ?11:49
Cosaplopanew to this , using Ubuntu 12.04 on a dell D630 centrino, everything works well, but the webcam, not detected apparently, anybody knows where and if the there is a driver for that ?11:50

ikoniavrnithin: a good question I'm concerned that this file is erroring, yet the file is there11:52
ikoniaknacker: how did you bring it up11:52
ikoniavrnithin: the package manager is core to your system, hence why I'd suggest fixing it before trying to install other things11:52
knackerifconfig eth0 up...  as root11:53
vrnithinikonia, how  to fix it ?11:53
ikoniaknacker: that won't do anything11:53
ikoniaknacker: you need it to have an ip address11:53
knackeri guessed that11:53

vrnithinikonia, is there any way to reset it and start again ?11:55
ikoniavrnithin: you could re-move the PPA and re-add it, however I don't see how that would resolve a connection being dropped11:56
vrnithinikonia, is there any way to copy that manually to other files fetched ??11:56
knackerikonia: just ran it, got no response or prompt for password, ran it again and got ...:file exists11:57

ikoniaknacker: if you do "sudo ifconfig eth0" does your card now have an ip address11:59
kaarTVQ: If it has been in suspended mode on a laptop for example this is a bug. I have yet to resolve it myself.11:59
knackeryes11:59

deniscknacker: great! now try pinging an internet address (I use "ping www.aarnet.edu.au") and if you get a response time and a series of "pings" you are ready for the next step which is "sudo apt-get install network-manager"12:01

knackerikonia:  don't know if I am 100% but I just pinged google and got good reply12:01

sideeffectmaybe a general question:  I am quite a noob in linux issues.  I installed ubuntu 12.10. i want change there a lot, too many things to ask here. change the appearance, add stuff to panels, install apropriatte graphic drivers, get compizcube to work. just customize ubuntu my way and so on. maybe therefore are tutorials. someone knows such tutorials?12:27
dbromthis is what im facing... I have four monitors hooked up to a kubuntu 12.10 system that i have a nvidia 580 Ti card . the thing is one monitor isnt working and the second on is black and the other two are clones of each other12:29

krzhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia14:07
Surkow|laptopusr13, a 9600gt. The hardware is supported and working properly. The reason why it states that it doesn't support it, is because I didn't install the kernel header sources.14:08

Surkow|laptopafter removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling the kernel headers the nvidia drivers were able to compile a kernel module14:08

thufir_usr13: I tried the graphical boot, but it just flasheed between "xubuntu" and "cannot display...". pardon?14:20
usr13thufir_: Or did you?  Did you go to tty6 and read the log file?14:20
Joe1Does anyone have any idea what the file "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/arp_ignore" does?14:21
thufir_which log file?14:21
usr13thufir_: I told you to do Ctrl-Alt-F6  and look at the logfile.14:21
bekksJoe1: It tells you wether eth0 accepts ARP requests for IPv414:21
usr13thufir_: tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log14:21
thufir_hmm.  when do I press ctrl-alt-f6?14:21
bekksJoe1: Just use cat on it.14:21
usr13thufir_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log14:21

thufir_usr13: only the one computer. so I'm in text still.  will reboot in a moment, just wanted your feedback on that log, but you say it's not the correct log..?14:25
Joe1bekks: cool, found it online. thanks!14:26
usr13thufir_: Reboot, and you will have 6 ttys to use,  First go to tty6 and then you can go to the one next door, (tty5) by holding Atl and hitting left-arrow  You can bring up irssi on one console if need be.14:27
bekksJoe1: You're welcome. :)14:27
thufir_usr13: irssi?14:27

thufir_finch.  it's text version of pidgin.  I see, irssi is an IRC client?14:28
usr13thufir_: Ok, that's ok.14:28
usr13just use it.14:28
thufir_usr13: ok, rebooting again. thx.  pardon misunderstanding.  I thought it was hooped, but you say it will give me tty's, so I'll do that. bye.14:28
kaarthufir_: use irssi with screen14:28

Ronalds_MHi, ubuntu folks :>14:30
kaarhi :) Ronalds_M14:30
Ronalds_Manybody knows how to change default keyboard keys for ctrl-alt-delete, cause right not it logouts to shell14:31
Ronalds_MI tried keyboard shortcuts in settings14:31
Ronalds_Mbut disabling didn't work out14:32
usr13Ronalds_M: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and then Ctrl-Alt-Delete14:32
ThinkT510Ronalds_M: why do you want to change it, i can't recall the last time i ever needed to use it14:33
Ronalds_Msorry, ctrl alt f414:33
Ronalds_Mwhen I press it, it goes in shell14:33
usr13Ronalds_M: Then do,  Ctrl-Alt-Delete   to reboot14:33
ThinkT510Ronalds_M: of course it does, thats the tty14:33
Ronalds_Mcan I disable this?14:34
ThinkT510Ronalds_M: why?14:34
usr13Ronalds_M: What is your end goal?14:34
BluesKajRonalds_M, that's what ctrl+alt+F4 is supposed to do..a shell/TTY14:34
Ronalds_Mok14:34
usr13Ronalds_M: Ctrl-Alt-F6 goes to tty6  Ctrl-Alt-F5 goes to tty5  etc. etc.14:34
thufir_usr13: ok, long story. there are two hard drives, two linux installs.  I'm on 11.10 linux, works fine.  booted into it by accident.  12.10 is on the other hard drive.  (this hdd will get formatted once I get 12.10 working properly.)    while I'm a working GUI and so forth, anything I should do?14:35
thufir_at least I can sync my firefox settings while I'm here, which I forgot to do earlier.14:35
usr13thufir_: Yea, boot the other HD, go to tty6 use screen and open irssi, look at log file, etc...  Let's see what is going ot.14:36
usr13*on14:36
thufir_usr13: ok.  few minutes while I futz with firefox pls. thanks for help.14:36
usr13thufir_: Ok14:37
Ronalds_Mhow to disable showing mounted hard drives14:37
Ronalds_Mon 12.04 I could do that with ubuntu tweak14:37
Ronalds_Mmaybe in compiz?14:37
kelvinellahi i am running ubuntu 10.10, should i upgrade it to 12.04 or clean install to 12.04?14:37
usr13Ronalds_M: On the desktop?14:37
verddr_willis: are you still around? I have one more question: I have the 11.04 installation mentioned earlier now updated to a sort-of-working 11.10. should the update-manager now offer a "regular" update to 12.04?14:37
Ronalds_Mon unity sidebar14:37
ThinkT510kelvinella: clean install14:37
kelvinellaand can i upgrade it thru the 12.04 iso usb stick?14:37
k1l_kelvinella: clean install will be faster14:38
bekkskelvinella: You have to upgrade to 11.04 then to 11.10 and then to 12.0414:38
bekkskelvinella: A direct update is not possible.14:38
thufir_usr13: ok, rebooting14:38
thiebaudekelvinella, i usally do a clean install14:38
kelvinellaok14:38
thiebaude:)14:38
k1l_kelvinella: no, there is no direct upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04  you need to do every single upgrade inbetween14:38
usr13kelvinella: If you have /home on separate partition, yea, just do clean install and leave the /home/ parition alone, use same user name.  If not, backup /home/ files14:38
TheBaseHello14:38
kelvinellaso i have to reinstall virtualbox, etc..... :(14:38
MonkeyDustkelvinella  fresh install is faster, cleaner and easier, don't forget to backup first, if you don't have a separate /home partition14:39
k1l_kelvinella: next time you want to not_upgrade for a long time better start with a LTS version14:39
thiebaudek1l_, thats what i do, lts14:39
usr13kelvinella: Yea, when you install 12.04, you will be on LTS.14:39
thiebaudeupgrade every 5 yrs14:39
kelvinellai didnt update so long coz the unity14:39
kelvinellai thought i wait for it to mature then i can upgrade but i was wrong14:40
ThinkT510kelvinella: you can use other desktop environments14:40
MonkeyDustkelvinella  workaround: create a manual list of the programs you want to install, then, after upgrade, type sudo apt-get install [that list]14:40
usr13kelvinella: You CAN upgrade but you have to do it incrementally14:41
usr13kelvinella: But it is much easier to cut to the chase and just install 12.04.14:42
usr13kelvinella:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases14:42

Ronalds_MI don't understand that webapps integration thingy14:43
Ronalds_Mit's just bookmark shortcuts in panel?14:43
thufir_usr13: ok, tried that.  ctrl-alt-f6 would flash text, but then back to "cannot display.." so I rebooted to ubuntu 12.04 on the other hard drive.  GUI works fine from here.  gotta be a setting.14:44
usr13thufir_: Did you try F5 or F4?14:45
MonkeyDustRonalds_M  if at first, you don't understand it, skip it and get used to other parts of the system14:45
Squall5668Quick question: nework manager stores connections in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but where does it store the part that sets a connection to "auto connect"? (yes, wireless autoconnection problems after 12.10 upgrade)14:47
thufir_usr13: I tried them all14:47
usr13thufir_: Let me ask you this;  At what point does the display quit working, (during the boot process -- what does it say).14:47
elxguys im trying to shrink one of the partitions of my hdd but it gives me error14:48
elxI unmounted it14:48
elxthe partition14:48
thufir_usr13: ok, it boots (I wrote splash noisy in grub), and I see "ubuntu ..." at some point. then I see "xubuntu" and it looks good. then, suddenly, it oscilates between xubuntu splash or loading screen and "cannot display" until resolves to "cannot display".14:49
elxi also switched the swap partition14:49
Sven_vBcan someone estimate how long an AMD Athlon II CPU can run at 127 deg C (260 deg F) before it would affect desktop programs?14:50

MonkeyDust!details | elx14:51
ubottuelx: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."14:51
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, or before the system self-immolates14:51
thufir_usr13: make sense?14:51
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, 127C is very hot for that CPU, i think your system will fry if left at that level.14:52
thiebaude^^14:52
KeyboardNotFoundi has turn off my computer direct from outlet, and after again turn on i have some problems, my computer is scanned and i don't know what other, but i has cancel my scanning in boot mode, can i scan computer for errors in normal mode ?14:52
thufir_usr13: I can give output for **working** x settings from the **good** 12.04 install. will that help?14:52
BluesKajelx, what app /dev/system are you using to edit your partitions?14:52
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, and it'll fry or shut itself off long before your graphical applications start to not work.,14:52
elxubottu, im using ubuntu 11.10, i have 2 partitions on the main one i have ubuntu installed and on the seconde one i have my extra data14:52
ubottuelx: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)14:52
elxi want to shrink the second partition so i can make a new partition and install windows 8 on it14:52
MonkeyDustelx  11.10 is too old, it's called !eol14:53
elxBluesKaj, I m using Gparted14:53
MonkeyDustelx  11.10 is no longer in use or supported14:53
Sven_vBTheLordOfTime, i thougt the same, but it's running at that for over 4 weeks now (with short pauses - when i reboot it, reported temperature gets about 30 deg C for about 10 min, before jumping back to 127 deg C in less than 1 sec).14:53
Sven_vBTheLordOfTime, thatr14:53
Sven_vBTheLordOfTime, that's why i'm asking for an estimate time ;)14:53
KeyboardNotFound!gparted | elx14:54
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, i'd set a processing speed cap then.14:54
ubottuelx: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php14:54
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, i'd cap your processor at half speed for both cores then, it should reduce your temp.  as for estimated time of running, that's not able to be directly estimated.14:54
KeyboardNotFoundelx i think gparted can help you14:54
elxubottu, i already have it installed and im using it to shrink one of the partitions14:54
ubottuelx: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)14:54
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, my advice though: cap your processor speeds at half for all cores, and figure out whether your cooling solution is actually working, i think your fan isn't working or  your heat sink is dust clogged or something.14:55
elxbut it fails when i shrink the partition14:55
TheLordOfTime127C isn't normal for that CPU, unless you're driving the graphics to insanity.14:55
MonkeyDustelx  ubottu is a (ro)bot14:55
TheLordOfTimes/graphics/processor/14:55
BluesKajelx , i think the gparted live cd would be a better method14:55
elxMonkeyDust, yes just realized lol...14:56
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, i'd expect your system to self-immolate pretty soon, either the CPU will burn or something else will be fried or melted.  best to take cutback actions on the thing now and prep to replace either the cooling solution, the processor, or both.14:56
Surkow|laptopusr13, mutter --replace gave me my window manager controls back14:56
Surkow|laptopbut compiz still refuses to work in gnome fallback session14:56
KeyboardNotFoundelx, i agree with BluesKaj, try gparted live cd - > http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php14:57
elxGuys Gpart generate a .html for "Extra" details regarding the failure14:57
elxwould you like to have a look at it?14:57
MonkeyDustSurkow|laptop  fallback will no longer be in the next release, better get used to something else14:57
Sven_vBTheLordOfTime, it's idle. as i said, when i reboot freshly, it's about 30 deg C, then after some time jumps (in less than 1 second) to 127 and stays there. i'll check inside later... just wanted to verify beforehand that other also think "pretty soon" as the time of visible effects if the reported temperature was correct.14:58
Sven_vBso in that regard, thank you. :)14:58
TheLordOfTimeSven_vB, if its instantly jumping, that would suggest something's putting your processor at max, or the temperature sensor is broken.14:58
Sven_vBTheLordOfTime, i suspect a bug in acpi, since the load shown in htop or uptime is low all the time.15:00

thefoxratok, so I just installed Ubuntu via wubi on my other pc. After the first reboot, it worked fine. I restarted again and I don't even get POST. My monitor goes to power save mode as well. Any help16:06
b33njcompdoc, why?16:06
compdocsounds odd. Ppl on tv and radio and here online all do it16:07
MonkeyDustthefoxrat  wubi is a testing enverinment, better install ubuntu on its own partition, next to windows16:07
BluesKajcompdoc, so what ? :)16:07
b33njcompdoc, why do you watch tv? that is a waste of time16:07
thefoxratOk, but my main issue is that I can't even boot into windows. When I power on my pc, it turns on but it doesn't seem to boot at all16:08
bekksthefoxrat: Then it is an issue for #hardware or ##windows more likely.16:09

mike_papaHello. I've got problem with accessing shared scanner. I have HP LaserJet 3055 (all in one) connected to rasberrypi, and sane setup there. On rasberry scanimale -L returns correct device. sane-port is in the /etc/services. On Ubuntu box /etc/sane.d/net.conf has line with rasberry's ip. What else I need to do?16:10
bekksb33nj: It was a suggestion to ask in another channel because a) his computer isnt booting at all and b) he is using wubi so windows has to be working before he gets to Ubuntu at all.16:11
thefoxratI guess I just figured that because before Ubuntu install my pc was fine and after, it is not, that it was an ubuntu problem16:11

ubottutxomon: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.16:12

When trying to delete them I receive the following error message "No such file or directory". Any suggestions on how to solve this?16:44

Blop123first i tried the graphical way through thunar, and then via the terminal (sudo rm -f file)16:45

theadminBlop123: Does the filename have weird charactrers like spaces or whatever?16:45

souliaqHow I can check with Ubuntu, what service locks specified TCP port?16:46
Blop123yes spaces, hence when deleting i use A\ B\ ...16:46
Blop123it still exists but not in that folder\16:46

b33njsuggest me a good book about linux commands18:05
wadWhen I "apt-get install mysql-server", it doesn't ask me to supply a root password for the database. And so I don't have access. Googling around hasn't helped. Are there supposed to be docs somewhere for what I'm supposed to do with a package after the "apt-get install" step?18:05
SunMoonStarb33nj: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php18:05

MotoservoI'm trying to install Ubuntu onto a stick drive as a dual boot for my mac. I'm following the directions but after copying over the .img the stick dismounts as "unreadable" and diskutil list shows that the stick changes from type DOS FAT32 to "0x17". Anybody have any suggestions?20:05
bekksMotoservo: How do you "copy over the .img"?20:05
rust_bekks: when I boot up my pc, it lets me choose between windows and Ubuntu. Next it blinks by a screen saying NTF5: No wubildr.20:06
bekksrust_: So you are using WUBI. Thats a VERY important information.20:07
rust_Bekks: then it takes me to the GNU GRUB screen.20:07
bekksrust_: And basically, something is really messed up - I never used Wubi - but it looks like something messed up a file on your windows filesystem.20:07
Motoservobekks: sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m20:08
Tex_NickMotoservo : arethe directions from here ,,, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx20:08
MotoservoTex_Nick: Those are the directions I followed.20:08
bekksMotoservo: Whats that "/dev/disk1" thing?20:08
MotoservoIt doesn't matter what format the stick is when I start: HFS or DOS, it ends up something else.20:09
rust_bekks: I had lent my computer to my father, and he said it Windows ran a chkdsk. Do you think that might be it?20:09
MotoservoI tried of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m and of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m20:09
bekksrust_: chkdsk doesnt mess up files. Something happened, and that file is messed up, deleted, whatever.20:10
MotoservoSeems those were my two options.20:10
rust_bekks: I called and asked my father about it, he said all it did was say it deleted corrupted files.20:11

rust_Bekks: I guess I have to uninstall and Reinstall ubuntu?20:13

mrspinxHi Has anyone worked on a nexus 720:45
ikoniamedia-centre: so if you type /join ##windows you'll join the ##windows channels and you can explain the problem to the windows team20:46
media-centreok thanx20:46
mike_papaMFen: Installation will take same place as on DVD. Something around image file size.20:46
bazhangmrspinx, the ubuntu on nexus 7?20:46
media-centreok thanx20:46
MFenmike_papa: bummer, i only have a 512MB stick here20:46
MFeni am reading this cd-less install procedure though. might work for me20:46
dufaMFen: if you only have a small one you can install usin the minimal version20:46
CoreyBRhello D:20:47
Jordan_U!minimal | MFen20:47
ubottuMFen: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD20:47
mrspinxyes I just flashed nexus 7 with the core installer20:47
media-centreby the way whats this shit going round about microsoft bring out boot restricted laptops and pcs20:47
mike_papaMFen: Then you can use it for network installation. I did it once at work.20:47
ikoniamrspinx: #ubuntu-arm has some guys using the nexus platform20:47
dufaMFen: the minimal iso is only 30 MB20:47
dufaMFen: you can read about it over at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD20:47
mrspinxyea it seems quite in that channel20:48
mike_papaMFen: You need just tiny bootable usb stick, and rest will be downloaded from net during installation. I did it using my phone as stick actually. ;)20:48
SashmoI want to encrypt a parttion on a hard drive, and then then when ubuntu boots, mount and decrypt it for usage.  So if someone physically removes the drive to gain access to it, they cant, because its encrypted.... Does any when know how to do this?20:49

lenswipeif i open cheese it just shows a black screen or says "No Device" or whatever20:50
mike_papaMFen: I don't remember. It was Sony Xperia X1... doesn't matter. Most important was that it served it's memory card as regular usb stick. So I formatted it, "burned" minimal iso on it, and got myself ubuntu installer.20:50
MFenoh, you formatted it. no thanks then20:52
mike_papaMFen: And if you'd like to install Ubuntu on your phone, it's possible on Android. Complete Linux Installer from android market does it.20:52
MFenalso no thanks. :)20:52
mike_papaMFen: Yeah. You need to make it bootable somehow. I had nothing important there, so it was easiest way to get rid of everything.20:53
MFeni'm going to try either the no-disk option or using the minimal disk on the stick that i have20:53

ikoniaand listes supported cameras20:59
ikonialists21:00
lenswipeikonia: I know how to get webcams working in linux, what i'm less knowledgeable about is why the ubuntu website says iSight should work out of the box and it's not recognising it.21:00
ikonialenswipe: what makes you think it's not recognising it ?21:00
lenswipeikonia: the part where it says "NO DEVICE" when i open cheese21:01
ikonialenswipe: so you know how to configure webcams....as you said. Have you checked the device nodes ?21:01

brady2600ok so , im using filezilla and i want to set my default text editor21:05
brady2600i normally used windows in the past, so i would normally browse to the programs folder21:05
brady2600but uhh.... where do i look for my bluefish editor?21:06
andrudeI have read several forums and the the minin1 uses the realtek 8188cus chipset21:06
mJayk<brady2600>  one way to open it that will work hold down ctrl alt and press "t"21:06
tozenbrady2600: /usr/share ?21:06
mJayk<brady2600> type bluefish press enter that will open it21:06
brady2600no but im trying to assign the editor in filezilla21:07
brady2600meaning i would have to navigate folders to it21:07
andrudethe default driver rtl8192 doesn't work sees the network but won't connect21:07
tozenbrady2600: add /home there is aal settings included21:08
MotoservoI have a choice of either Windows or Linux. This Ubuntu is hosing my stick every time I copy it over. Guess that leaves another distro, or Windows. Something tells me it will be worth it to just pay for Windows and be done with it.21:08
tozen*all21:08
lenswipejrib: sorry - I just saw your message21:08

Kalashnikovdoes ubuntu support multi videocard and multi monitor setups out of the box or does it need to be configured?21:10
brady2600what does that have to do with where the bluefish application is located21:10
BluesKajMotoservo, telling us you are going to install windows isn't going to help the support process here or hinder it for that matter ..tell us what your error is before complaining21:10

yeatsbrady2600: no, I mean type 'which bluefish' into the terminal21:13
jhutchins_wkbrady2600: Which is a command that will locate a binary if it's on your path.21:13
brady2600i need to navigate.. doing it though the terminal won't set it as the default editor in filezilla21:13

yeatsbrady2600: you're trying to find it's location, no?21:13

lorddeltaSo has anyone attempted to shrink Ubuntu 12.10 iso to live *CD* sizes?21:14
lorddeltaAnd would it be that difficult to do?21:14
jhutchins_wkbrady2600: finding the binary will make it easier to tell filezilla what to use.21:14
tozenbredy2600: i suggesting to use PING so u can get ur system fully backed up like an imege file21:15
BluesKajMotoservo, rather than a usb stick do you have any blank dvds ,, they're easier to use in some cases21:15
jriblenswipe: many releases ago, one had to do this manual procedure: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleiSight .  Indeed I did that previously on my macbook 4,1.  So that may be why it works now.  However, on an imac desktop system, the camera does indeed just work.  Let me pastebin for you what I see related to the camera in each.21:15
tozenohh21:15
tozenfilezilla1!!!21:15
lorddeltaYeah DVD's are ubiquitous, but I have a stack of CD's lying around, and DVD's are hence more valuable. I'd be happy to burn a 2.3 GB Ubuntu DVD or something, but 800 MB is sparse...21:15
tozensorry i thought clonezilla...im an idiot :D21:16
lorddeltaTime/money is just as much a consideration for me as it is for an ubuntu dev.21:16
Flannelasoltys: You need to move your repositories to old-releases.ubuntu.com, that's where the EOL archives are, and you can get the latest update manager from that.21:16
MotoservoBluesKaj: My DVD Drive doesn't work. I'm trying to set this stick up for my mom so she can use a scanner that only supports Windows and Linux. Booting from a DVD to get into Linux won't be an option for us.21:16
lenswipejrib: Yeah, I found that - problem is - I don't have an OSX install to get the files from21:17
lorddeltae.g. how would I go about building a (smaller) 12.10 distro from scratch?21:17
lenswipethe firmware that is21:17
ikonialorddelta: you'd have to alter the build....which would make it a custom spin21:17
ikonialorddelta: which would mean it's up to you to support / maintain it21:17
lenswipejrib: the HDD has also been replaced in this macbook (it's my girlfriend's macbok(21:17
lenswipemacbook* sod this keyboad to hades21:18
jriblenswipe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1476896/  My understanding is that the manual procedure is no longer necessary.  Indeed, I have /lib/firmware/isight.fw on my macbook but no such file on the imac.  And both cameras work21:18
BluesKajMotoservo, perhaps you could reveiew the method you used to put ubuntu on the usb stick , because it should boot if it was installed correctly21:18
MotoservoBluesKaj: I can't find the page on the Ubuntu site now but this is the same instructions, almost verbatim. http://blog.lewan.com/2012/02/10/making-a-bootable-usb-stick-on-an-apple-mac-os-x-from-an-iso/21:18
MotoservoI get as far as running the dd command.21:18
lenswipejrib: so you think I might have the firmware _with_ ubuntu by default?21:19
MotoservoAnd then after running the command, the drive dismounts, I get an alert that it's not readable...21:19
jriblenswipe: yes, for a while now, the camera should work out of the box21:19
lorddeltaikonia: ok, so what, just install uck?21:19
Motoservo…and it then shoes up as    1:0x17  789.9 MB   disk1s1 in the diskutil list command.21:20
Ub0ntuN00bhi21:20
lorddeltaikonia: or is it better to use an hg/git repo?21:20
lenswipejrib: well it doesn't and I don't have /lib/firmware/isight21:20
jriblenswipe: i'm looking for documentation on how :)  Yes, I don't have /lib/firmware/isight either.21:20
Ub0ntuN00bany one know a mysql gui client with code assist?21:20
Motoservoand then 0x17 is where it *used* to say DOS FAT3221:20
lenswipejrib: got it - thanks :)21:20
KalashnikovWhat do i have to do to set up 3 monitors connected to 2 video cards in ubuntu?21:21
tozenMotoservo: what command do u use and what do u trying to get?421:21
asoltysFlannel: Thanks!21:21
BluesKajMotoservo, I'm not well versed about linux on macs ...sorry for wasting time on this21:21
ikonialorddelta: sorry, in respect to what ?21:22
lorddeltaikonia: easiest fastest way to remix ubuntu 12.1021:22
Motoservotozen: sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m21:22
jriblenswipe: following the manual way would probably make it work too21:22
MotoservoIt's from the page on how to set up Ubuntu on a stick for Mac OS X.21:22
lorddeltaI already have the ubuntu 12.10 image, so if I can just open it up in Archive manager and delete a binary image or two...21:23
ikoniait's not something I'd suggest doing, and unless I'm missunderstanding what you're asking I don't understand what you're relating git to in terms of remaking the image21:23
lenswipejrib: except i dont have the firmware file21:23
lenswipethe .fw21:23
ikonialorddelta: no, you should under no circumstances delete random things, plus the install CD is built on squash fs not an "archive"21:23
jriblenswipe: you could install os x and grab it :)  I'm trying to figure out how to find what firmware is loaded on the imac21:23
tozenMotoservo: where's the problem is?21:23
lenswipejrib: how do i install OSX?21:23
ikonialorddelta: as you don't seem to understand how the actual CD images work I'd strongly advise you not to try to mess with it21:24
lenswipejrib: there isn't a CD (afaik)21:24
=== azend_ is now known as azend
jriblenswipe: the macbooks (at least back then) come with OS X cds21:24
lenswipejrib: ill go ask my gf (it's her macbook21:25
Motoservotozen: After running that command the stick dismounts and I get an alert that it is unreadable. It is still recognized in diskutil list but where it said DOS FAT32 it will then say 0x17.21:25
lorddeltaikonia: yeah they've always been something of a mystery to me: so you're basically saying there exists no easy trick to remix from a distro release, I'd have to download some sources and 'build' the cd from scratch...i.e. a lot of work.21:25
andrudeI have a rosewill RNX Mini n1 dongle that supposedly uses the rtl8192 module, I have read in other forums that I really need the rtl8188cus module but the 8192 loads by default. I have a copy of the 8188 diver but can't find the any modules listed in  cat /etc/modules.  I'm running 12.0 lts are the modules put somewhere else?21:25
ikonialorddelta: unless you have a solid understanding of how it works and the implications of changes, it's not something I'd suggest doing21:26
tozenMotoservo: so what for do u type /dev/disk1 if u got usb?21:26
andrude12.04 lts that is21:26
Tex_Nick459873221:26
cmelltozen, usb drives are still /dev/sdx21:26

paperke68anyone ?21:33
Motoservothanks, tozen: will let you know if it works.21:33
lorddeltaikonia: well archive manager does open up the iso, but yeah I guess I have to unpack everything twice, once for the squashfs, another time to rebuild a smaller squashfs - so I guess its me vs the clock.21:33
MFencmell i just want to get the best performance out of the ssd. how should i set things up?21:33
riderplusandrude you have to install 8188 properly and blacklist the other one21:33
tozenMotoservo: dont mention, pal21:33
lorddeltaikonia: including whatever time I have to spend figuring out squashfs/my mistakes.21:34
MFenright now it's the default lenovo install of windows 8. i don't know how the disks are allocated, yet21:34
andruderiderplus : I can't find the modules to blacklist it21:34
lorddeltaikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization?21:35
cmellMFen, installing linux to the ssd is commonly done, because you don't need a swap partition if you have enough memory21:35
MFenwell, it's windows that's slow to boot21:35
andrudeI can see what's loaded with lsmod21:35

fabrizziopHi to all, I've just got a simple question, I have two GPUs which are configured and working for number crunching (bitcoin), but the system somehow believes there are two monitors (it's weird because in the screen settings it shows only one monitor) and allows for the mouse cursor to go to the other "screen", and that becomes a hassle as you can accidentally get the cursor there. Is there any way22:50
fabrizziopI can stop the cursor from going to the other "screen"?, like a stop or anything22:51
ikoniafabrizziop: nvidia by any chance ?22:51
fabrizziopati/amd, a 5770 and a 5830, using 12.8 driver I think22:51
ikoniaodd never seen that with ati22:52
ikoniafabrizziop: basically hardcoding one screen either in the config tool or the xorg.conf should solve your problem22:52
fabrizziopthat's what I was thinking, but in the xorg.conf what can I add to "ignore" the second screen?22:52

fabrizziop_altsorry for bothering again, but what can I place into xorg.conf to ignore a display in a dual-gpu setup?23:45
lickalottsamba is being a pain.  NFS it up and running already,  but at the cost of speed i will continue working to get samba right.  i've googled the speed thing and there are mixed reviews.  literally right down the middle.23:46
lickalottwanted to know what the "big brains" thought23:47
ikonialickalott: it depends on a lot of things23:47
ikonialickalott: probably why the reviews are mixed23:47
lickalotti'm keeping NFS for a view dirs (streaming movies, etc...) but the samba folder would be for data storage/movement23:48
ikonialickalott: to be honest you'll hit more issues with your own network and disk speed than the actual transfer protocol unless you are on an enterprise network23:48
ikonialickalott: I'd just consider which provides the best functionality for your needs23:48
ikonialickalott: I don't see a need for both, you seem to be making it over complex23:48
