[00:06] user82, i think opensource driver version has a great support for 8xx series [00:07] according the new drivers nvidia is working for Ubuntu/linux they suggest 8xxx and up [00:08] cd hexchsrfeg [00:08] ./hex [00:08] now that Steam Linux is out I wouldnt mind using that but the current card 7300 LE doesnt seem to be supported with the 310 experimental drivers just recently released [00:08] why linux font rendering is so bad? === slank is now known as slank_away [00:09] Just installed ubuntu and it is running really slow. like a 1 1/2 sec lag from clicking the mouse and it regiatering [00:10] bman_ remove amazon lens [00:10] Any nginx buffs around?

[00:21] ad_da: used to be a /proc/fs/ or som,e other special file that showed them [00:21] ad_da : please elaborate [00:24] Hmm. used to be some system file that showed what filesystems were compiled into the kernel.. ages ago [00:26] the dir /lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/kernel/fs/ shows filesystem modules. [00:26] dr_willis: um I don't see anything relevant :p [00:26] http://dersaadetul-salih.blogspot.ru/ [00:26] Tex_Nick: I don't understand you [00:26] ad_da: we have no idea what you are really talking about.. === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [00:27] salih1453: Please don't spam links to your blog on this channel. [00:29] i used a command some time ago and am trying to look it up. i tried arrow up but its been awhile and im sure its burried deepc is there a searchable file with command line history? [00:30] knaught: Ctrl-R searches, as does 'history', but the file is ~/.bash_history (which varies per virtual terminal) [00:31] ad_da : your question seemed to me to be a bit ambigous ... could you please expand it a bit :) [00:32] Tex_Nick: maybe is the engilsh languaje sorry. I'm reading about filesystem capabilities. I just want to know if my filesystem support capabilities [00:32] yeats: awesome, thanks [00:32] ad_da: define "filesystem support capabilities" [00:32] does ubuntu have intel drivers for integrated graphics cards yet? [00:33] haylo: Yes. [00:33] this 60fps business is bogus :P [00:33] ad_da ... this link will explain a bit about filesystems ... http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/filesystems.5.html [00:33] haylo: like with jockey ? [00:33] what sort of frame rate can it pull? they didnt have it a year ago [00:33] Tex_Nick: thank you so much :) [00:33] I was reading this one http://linux.die.net/man/7/capabilities [00:34] bekks: * [00:34] bekks: so it is new? [00:34] haylo: What card do you have? What CPU or motherboard chipset? [00:34] haylo: You dont need > 24 FPS, since your eye cant resolve the difference on higher rates, biologically. :) [00:34] haylo: It is not new. [00:34] bekks: Not true [00:34] bekks: im a gamer, i can see like 10,000 fps [00:34] no kidding [00:34] everyone has is different [00:34] ad_da ... if that is not what you are after. please ask again :) [00:34] Yes, for sure. 1 Million dollar dude. [00:35] is there a simple way to determine what keystrokes are being sent over VNC? [00:35] Ctrl-x is not working (for emacs) and I'm trying to diagnose the problem [00:35] bekks: seriously. a violinist hears music much differently than a normal person. likewise a gamer can percieve subtle differences in performance [00:35] the fps is a reflection of the efficiency of the enitre computer [00:36] haylo: Even a gamer cant break the rules of biology and physics. [00:36] Tex_Nick: I found what I was looking for. Thank you :) [00:36] bekks: you need to look at some computers running different frame rates [00:36] You 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 decades [00:36] The eye does not see in FPS, geez [00:37] bekks: dude, you can definitely see over 24fps, I'd say at least 60fps and above might be indistinguishable [00:37] ad_da : you're welcome [00:37] Ben64: Then provide evidence on that please. [00:37] people dont see in fps's [00:37] When 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] lulz bekks [00:37] Ben64: Even more, anyone could see the differance between a 60 and 120Hz monitor [00:38] bekks: do any sort of research [00:38] time to refer to the wikipedia pages.. ;) and get back OT. [00:38] A simple search of the web would prove it in a second [00:38] This explains it well: http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm [00:39] 24 frames is enough to make a movie appear smooth, but that does not mean we cant see MORE than that [00:39] I mean there is a reason why the new Hobbit movie is shot in 48 fps for example === halberd is now known as causative [00:40] Yes. Marketing. Earning money. Thats the reason, at first glance. ;) And now off from OT. [00:40] Zeiva: a 24fps movie only looks smooth because the huge amount of motion blur going on [00:40] Ben64: Agreed === adrien_ is now known as Guest77174 [00:40] * dr_willis has blur even when sitting still.. [00:41] Ben64: 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] is there a simple program I can run that will report to me every keystroke sent to that program? [00:41] i have newly installed 12.10 in HP probook 4510s and my wireless is not shown in iwlist how to fix [00:41] causative: xev [00:42] ah great thanks! [00:42] hi all [00:43] hi [00:43] Hello~ [00:43] Hello! [00:44] yeats: ctrl w gets me a search bar but it wont find the text. j can see the text, like cd dir ls and so on [00:44] yeats: in nano [00:46] Now 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? [00:47] Zeiva: plymouth is broken in 12.10 for ati cards [00:48] are you able to create a raid array with mdadm by uuid rather than /dev/sdx? [00:48] i think rollbacking xorg is a solution [00:48] Muphrid: 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 release [00:48] Muphrid: 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 loading [00:49] wireless 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 help [00:50] I just remove pymouth as a solution to plymouth issues.. [00:50] or use the failsafe text theme for pymounth [00:51] Zeiva: you can take a read at this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal.html [00:53] you dont need to isntall fglrx but an upgrade from that ppa would theoretically solve the plymouth corruption [00:53] Muphrid: 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] be carefull with PPA's , it is not supported here. [00:54] as you wish [00:54] besides 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 sadly [00:59] nm, i just grep it [00:59] thakks [01:01] do I need do 'apt-get remove pkg1' before I runn 'checkinstall"?

[01:23] There should be but the thing is that Win8 will try to take over from Grub [01:23] im just thinking its Windows so its going to want to take control [01:25] I cannot save changes when I mode the setting went enabling Xinerama [01:25] exist a way for uninstall all dependencies, this command: apt-cache rdepends mysql-client generate the next output: http://pastebin.com/1Nt2kPuL [01:25] !uefi | rodayo [01:25] rodayo: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

[01:46] dbrom: lspci and see what your video card is. [01:46] Flynsarmy: people don't really on consistent /dev/sd* naming. Instead people use UUID. How that relates to raid, well see ubottu I suppose [01:46] =] [01:46] s/really/rely [01:46] I dont even touch raid. ;) to many hassles [01:46] !who | jak2000 [01:46] jak2000: 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 :) [01:46] only having one monitor is bloody pissing me off [01:47] jak2000: were they installed through APT? [01:47] dbrom: you can stop the X server with 'sudo service lightdm stop' [01:47] jrib: ya i was asking earlier today on how to specify uuid instead of /dev with mdadm and got no responses. i dont know if that's a good idea anyway bceause a replacement drive would have a diff uuid? [01:47] jrib yes with apt i think [01:47] dbrom: last i looked I Thiought there were experimental/post release nvidia drivers in the repos that were the same as the latest on nvidias site [01:47] only ethernet Marvell is shown with lspci [01:47] gvo, what should I file that under, ACPI or power management? [01:47] Flynsarmy: I'm not familiar with raid, but the docs ubottu gave you should clarify. Have you checked? [01:48] wikink: this is a internal? or external wifi card? [01:48] jrib: ive been trying to read docs all morning but there's so much there [01:48] !apt | jak2000 [01:48] jak2000: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[01:48] its built-in card [01:48] jak2000: then use "apt-get remove" to remove them [01:48] hey [01:48] wikink: does lspci show it at all? [01:48] im trying the 310.19 off the site and the latest on the additional drivers link [01:48] no [01:49] wikink: could be its so new its totally unsupported. or the switch is OFF ;) if its in a laptop [01:49] jrib yes i used before apt-get, with this command: apt-cache rdepends mysql-client know wich packaged need to be removed right? (the list is large large) not exist a way more direct? [01:49] h [01:49] when making a persistant live usb using usb startup disk creator in ubuntu, is there any reason why i would not want to slide the bar to the maximum amount stored in reserve extra space? === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [01:50] wikink: dr_willis if lspci doesn't find it, willl linux be able to do anything with it? [01:50] jak2000: you said you wanted to remove percona and mariadb, so why not remove those? [01:50] chaotixx: if you want some space on the usb for using on a windows box.

[01:52] jrib yes i want remove percona and mariadb (the depndencies if you see, in a 90% are of percona and or mariadb) .... :( [01:52] Flynsarmy: I guess https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID is more appropriate then [01:52] shaolin77 : i missed your PM earlier, sorry ... have posted to the PM [01:52] jak2000: so start by removing mariadb and percona packages. Have you done that? [01:52] Hello I have a question about one software - bibletime [01:53] jrib yes i start but the list is large, not exist other way more direct? [01:53] the question is - will USA persecute if I download from the bookshelf manager [01:53] jak2000: it's two packages. Not sure what you mean. [01:53] jrib: these seem to assume you aren't plugging/unplugging disks though so they can safely use given /dev/sd? paths which I can't do [01:53] I got the warning saying dont risk detection so don't use remote sources [01:54] dr_willis: it was woking previously with 12.04 but now in 12.10 i could not see the wireless at all, shall i pastebin the lspci [01:54] wikink: good idea. but i really dont know much about wureless truble shooting. If it worked in 12.04 did you UPGRADE to 12.10? or is this a clean install. [01:55] Sensei_Jer: I'm not any authority but the US probably doesn't really card. [01:55] care. [01:55] Sensei_Jer: i belive no one in here has a clue what you are going on about. [01:55] yeah I thought as well gvo [01:55] it's nothing major really [01:55] The US isn't in the business of worrying about individuals. [01:55] actually with a DVD live also wireless didnot work and i have done clean install and trying to fix it [01:56] wikink: could be a bug with the newer kernel and that specific card or driver.. Ive also had cards iver had to go to windows.. turn ON and leave them on. for them to work in linux. [01:57] Sensei_Jer: If it's a classified government project, look out. Otherwise, ho hum. [01:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474557/ [01:57] Sensei_Jer, there is a PPA for bibletime/sword > https://launchpad.net/~pkgcrosswire/+archive/ppa [01:57] Flynsarmy: I don't know enough to advise you. But feel free to repeat the question here. There's usually someone around with some raid experience. You might also try #ubuntu-server if no one is around here at the moment [01:57] jrib: ok, thanks [01:57] tyvm OerHeks and others [01:58] dr_wills: so is there something i can do [01:58] the wifi hardware switch is showing up On and Off properly but nothing is happening [01:58] dbrom: askubuntu.com has numerous posts on quad monitor setups with nvidia systems.. Not sure which ones apply to your system. It could be the fact yu have 2 differnt cards are goofing things up [01:58] i have also pasted the lspci in the above link [01:59] dr_wills: ill try it with one card... [02:01] wikink: the 88E8072 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller is a hardwired controller, right? [02:02] yes [02:02] wikink: For some reason the system doesnt' even know there is another network controller. === Blues is now known as Guest59934 === Guest59934 is now known as yakult [02:04] its showing only wired network is shown and wireless network connect is not coming up [02:05] wikink is it a USB device?

Then you should use "apt-get purge PACKAGE" (not apt-get remove) [02:17] ok === Dorito2 is now known as GuyFawkess === GuyFawkess is now known as f4wk33s [02:19] Anyone here using pidgin with plugins? [02:19] OK people I need a collective thought to be processed. Who is good with Hardware/upgrades? [02:20] clear [02:20] lol, whoops === j is now known as Guest61087 [02:21] shaolin77, the people in ##hardware [02:22] cab, whats the actual question [02:22] i use pidgin but not many plugins [02:22] I used to raise pigeons. [02:22] cab, you might also be interested to know of the channel #pidgin [02:22] no it's ok just manage to make it work [02:23] thanks bazhang I will try that [02:23] how to check my wifi chipset; its not shown in lspci [02:23] any lighter irc client than pidgin? (that's just the one by default one my system) [02:23] lsusb also no luck [02:24] cab: lighter? [02:24] but my seems intensive [02:24] i use xchat, and have done for years [02:24] if you can manage command line irc, irssi is the way to go [02:25] I'm just using LXterminal (lubuntu) [02:25] not sure it integrates with [02:25] wikink: take a very close look at your bios and see if there are any settings for the wireless card there, to enable/disable it. [02:26] cab: irssi [02:26] my laptop keyboard stops responding periodically until reboot, external keyboards keep working, I don't see anything in syslog or Xorg log, any ideas? [02:26] ok [02:26] scottj: hardware issue [02:26] doesn't do it under windows, I don't think it's hardware [02:26] wikink: If lspci can't see it, Linux will not be able to use it so something is preventing it's being seen by linux. That implies either a hardware switch or bios. [02:27] my wireless hardware switch is active and bios also active, [02:27] Hawkerz: ok will try irrsi and xhat else [02:27] how many irc clients do you need? [02:27] nothing is lighter than irssi [02:27] 1 lol [02:27] when i try On and Off, the blue led is responding too [02:27] wikink: Then you probably can't use it with whatever version of Linux you are trying to use. Try a different distro. [02:27] and one big requirement is to hide out/in messages [02:27] that pollutes [02:28] cab: http://www.irssi.org/documentation [02:28] it's working on pidgin right now [02:28] i dont know what 'hide out in messages' means [02:28] its Ubuntu 12.10 and it was working in 12.04 [02:28] dr_wills: what was that site you said there were posts about my issue [02:28] join/parts [02:28] messafes [02:29] cab: so you want a command line irc client right? [02:29] yep if works with the raw LXTerminal [02:29] if that is what you are asking for, use irssi with screen/tmux [02:29] that is, screen or tmux [02:29] wikink: then boot 12.04 and make sure it's still working. Run lspci and find out wall you can about the card and search the web for info. [02:29] it does everything you are asking [02:29] cab most IRC clients can do that without issue [02:29] find out all [02:30] ok [02:30] there are some nice plugins to make it look pretty too [02:30] I'm running into issues installing my amd graphics driver, my laptop is stuck in terminal. I've been at it all day and can't seem to get it right... [02:30] i've had a lot of fun with irssi in the past [02:30] Hello, can somebody give me replacement for Netbeans? I want one that can make GUI easily. I think it is heavy on my system. [02:31] i am trying to do: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse but then I get an error saying: Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:31] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:31] is only available from another source [02:31] E: Package 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse' has no installation candidate How can i fix this? My /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474608/ [02:31] for java? eclipse [02:31] Zaibach333: lspci | pastebinit #Send resulting URL, we will see what hardware you have. [02:31] diverdude, use tab complete for that package [02:31] Zaibach333: What hardware driver did you install? [02:32] usr13, I installed amd catalyst 12.10 proprietary linux x86 display driver from their website [02:32] Malsasa: All IDEs have a pretty steep learning curve. Meaning, easily isn't. [02:32] hello from irssi [02:33] ok working [02:33] gvo: hmmm... so there is no one? Thank you... [02:33] Zaibach333: What does lspci say about your video card? [02:33] bazhang, you mean: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? [02:33] just waiting for a join/part message to see if they show up on irssi [02:34] diverdude, why not just install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [02:34] Malsasa there are others, but none are "easy".. What do you know? What IDEs are you familiar with? [02:34] Zaibach333: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? [02:34] gvo: thank you, I am familiar with Netbeans only. Visual Basic-like. [02:34] usr13, there's a big list, alot to type. I'm using lubuntu 12.10 on the laptop [02:35] Zaibach333: lspci | pastebinit #Send resulting URL, we will see what hardware you have. [02:35] `ello all [02:35] hello! [02:35] :D [02:36] Malsasa: Eclipse is another popular one. Since you know Netbeans, you understand there is a learning curve. Right? [02:36] Anyone here using ,or tired cylon/ceylon version of Ubuntu? [02:36] gvo: no, what is learning curve? [02:37] hello. I got the 12.10 live iso, burned, installed to a usb, rebooted, login screen asked for a password. never asked to submit such so no clue. [02:37] usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474614/ [02:37] what is the channel for chitchat about ubuntu and stuff? [02:37] anyone using more then two monitors on kubuntu [02:38] Malsasa: Learning curve means you have to use it for a while before it becomes easy. It's the opposite of intuitive. I'm sure when you first used netbeans it was difficult so understand. [02:38] CoreyBR, #ubuntu-discuss / #ubuntu-offtopic [02:38] gi6son: did you tried using a blank pswd? [02:38] z [02:38] Malsasa: so==to [02:38] Malsasa: have you tried Geany? [02:38] Zaibach333: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [02:38] Hm just scrolled all [02:38] i really like the cylon variant of ubuntu,, but i get tired of the fire sparks and flames every time i click a menu [02:38] the rest of the gui special effects is nice [02:39] Muphrid: I think he's only done netbeans [02:39] gvo: Yes, yes, you are right. Oooh, so intuitive is opposite from learning curve? [02:39] Hm just scrolled all http://www.irssi.org/documentation/settings and can't find any setting to hide join/part messages [02:39] Muphrid: yes, i have. Geany is great.

Why do you want to leave netbeans if you know it? [02:41] Zaibach333: Just use the OS driver. [02:41] it's basically ubuntu.. but with a very luxurious gui. and full access to the ubuntu app-store type interface, auto updates,, a few extra nicknacks [02:41] how do you close the 'watch' command? just ctrl+c or is there a proper way? [02:41] wikink: /server irc.freenode.net #or server of your choosing. [02:41] bazhang: and to define it as default, at startup? [02:41] BlueNeXuS, link please [02:41] gvo: thanks, but I will not leave Netbeans. I just wanna searching for new IDE. Maybe my friends need it. And for me, Netbeans is so heavy. [02:41] Zaibach333: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne522 [02:42] cab__, set it and forget it, should stick [02:42] gvo: I found IntelliJ IDEA open sorce version. It is very great. But I just try it a while. Now it saved on my disk ;) [02:42] Malsasa: Eclipse is heavy too. It is the nature of the beast. [02:42] just a sec, I'll get that for yah bazhang [02:42] you may want to youtube it too [02:42] fine [02:43] gvo: :) yes, I have Eclipse too in this machine. But Eclipse is heavy too. [02:43] Malsasa: Yes [02:43] Malsasa: with power comes complexity. [02:44] ceylonlinux.com though when you install it , it spells it cylon instead on the installation screeen [02:44] BlueNeXuS, yeah, thats not supported here. use alis to find their support channel [02:44] gvo: I agree.

[03:04] enriq: that may take some doing to install from within 10.04 [03:04] enriq: you could set up grub2 to boot the ISO file. [03:05] dr_willis, a grub2 entry in the menu that boots the iso? sounds good [03:06] enriq: i dont recall if 10.04 used grub2 or not. ;) [03:06] enriq: 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 ;) [03:07] dr_willis, good idea, I have a separate /boot ... 10.04 apparently has grub1 [03:08] that 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.. [03:09] dr_willis, grub2 is on the repos apparently but not installed... should I...

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 t [03:15] he 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.

[04:01] ever since i installed kde , the login screen always starts up with a kde login instead of the original gnome one [04:01] is there any EASY way to change this? [04:01] cub: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [04:01] about as EASY as it gets [04:02] what does kdm mean [04:02] nvm i got it [04:02] are there certain integrated intel video chipsets that require proprietary drivers/firmware ? [04:02] why is everything mupen64plus so badly broken [04:03] chaospsychex: some intel and amd chips i guess [04:03] chaospsychex: but that's just a guess [04:03] the percise ppa dont work [04:03] the program barely runs [04:03] my chipset can output hd resolutions but for some reason xrandr is showing only 1024x780 as the highest ? [04:03] Can anyone help me figure out why nautilus crashes when trying to open my music folder in ubuntu 12.04? [04:03] dr_willis: wouldn't that just keep the kde one? [04:04] Ben64: no,,, it Asks what one to use [04:04] when 1280x1024 should be the highest as that is what the monitor supprots [04:04] hangdeadman, did you add any PPA like gnome3 ? [04:04] chaospsychex: did you install proprietary drivers already? there should be an option within gnome settings [04:05] chaospsychex: called "additional drivers" [04:05] hi anyone had successfully install itune 10 on playonlinux? [04:05] hangdeadman: you may have a strange file in there, could you pastebin the output of "ls -la " [04:05] veryhappy, i'm on the internet via a 3g cell phone. for some reason ubuntu wants to send/receive alot of data in the background. annoying.... [04:06] when i open software center, it tells me it's 'waiting for jockey gtk to finish' or something like that [04:06] chaospsychex: hold on [04:06] chaospsychex: you shouldn't need additional drivers for intel [04:07] Ben64, xrandr isn't showing the supported modes of the video chipset nor is it showing the modes the monitor supports [04:08] Ben64, 12.04 btw [04:08] laptop, right [04:08] Ben64, no, desktop === tom__541 is now known as cableship [04:08] OerHeks: not that I know of. [04:08] Ben64: what is the default path to music folder? [04:09] chaospsychex: could you pastebin the output of "lsmod; lspci" [04:09] hangdeadman: I assumed you knew where your music folder is [04:09] how to chmod a folder and all contence [04:09] chmod -R [04:09] chaospsychex: waiting for jockey gtk to finish -> ps -ax | grep jockey, remember pid -> kill id [04:09] *pid [04:09] Ben64, I could but I can't seem to get an irc client to install [04:09] d4rkh4nd: in the future you could check the manual, like "man chmod" [04:10] Ben64: I tried home/weldon/Music and it tells me there is no such file or directory.. [04:10] chaospsychex: you don't need irc to pastebin [04:10] chaospsychex: apt-get install pastebinit [04:10] Ben64: maybe I am typing the path wrong. [04:10] Anyone have much experience of avconv / ffmpeg? I've tried asking in #libav but only got the sound of chirping crickets there. [04:10] hangdeadman, try /home/weldon/Music ? make sure your username is spelled correct with capital letters if used [04:11] ty [04:12] I tryed that and the contense were not moded [04:12] (I ask to ask, since if there's no-one that knows a huge amount about avconv/ffmpeg asking would needlessly bog things down) [04:13] bertieb: asking to ask is silly [04:14] Ben64: I know, I know; but having asked in the specialist area put me off re-asking [04:15] Nevertheless. Basically my problem is in creating a time-lapse video from a series of jpegs. avconv is spitting out videos that last for only 10 seconds duration, no matter what -t or rate (-r) I throw at it.

[04:19] anyone know where to get help on apple stuffs? [04:20] which channel? #apple amd #iphone is like dead in water [04:20] bertieb: i seem to recall the ffmpeg faq having examples of doing that.. but its been ages since ive last looked at it. [04:20] kelvinella: what do you have for an issue with apple? [04:20] where do I enter the pastebinit command into the terminal to paste an output? [04:20] veryhappy, wanna sync music but cant do it in ubuntu [04:20] command | pastebinit [04:21] veryhappy, i can install itune in win7 in virtualbox but somehow cant sync [04:21] kelvinella: sync over the internet or to a device? [04:22] veryhappy, is there a way to install itune in playonlinux? [04:22] dr_willis: Yup, I think the documentation / blog posts that talk about it were probably written when you looked at it as they all refer to old ffmpeg versions with subtly varying arguments... [04:22] hello all [04:22] kelvinella: well if you want to use itune i would stick with virtualbox, i just guess you still didn't setup the network connection. [04:23] veryhappy, i can copy my mp3 to my phone4 in win7 dual boot partition but cant do it in virtualbox, dont know why [04:23] In fact, I've done it successfully before (only a couple months ago!) but now ffmpeg is avconv and stuff Doesn't Work(TM) in very specific and strage ways. [04:23] Hi, I'm trying to install the proprietary drivers for an nvidia quadro k2000m. The graphics card isn't showing up on the additional drivers tab.

[04:23] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474750/ [04:23] veryhappy, what network connection? [04:23] kelvinella: there is something like itunes for kubuntu but you need to search for it [04:24] thank you dbrom for taking over [04:24] hangdeadman: maybe this directory name? "drwxr-xr-x 2 weldon weldon 4096 Dec 5 2009 �� Void" [04:24] are we all running kubuntu or are we using something else [04:24] did i step on a toe [04:25] kubuntu [04:25] dbrom: songbird and rhythmbox are the closest i know of though mpd is what i use so don't know much abotu either.. [04:25] dbrom, i am thinking to buy a very cheap 10 yrs old computer just to copy delete mp3 in my iphone :( [04:25] Ben64: I just used dolphin file manager to try to delete that folder and it says that the folder doesn't exist when trying to delete it [04:25] look at format junky [04:25] its a app for kubuntu [04:26] ive used it and love it [04:26] hangdeadman: maybe try from terminal [04:26] Ben64: what is the command? [04:27] rmdir to delete a directory, mv can rename it [04:27] hooking up four monitors...they show up on the area by the activity manager but i cant use them...any ideas [04:28] A quick question, when I press lock screen or Ctrl + Alt + L is it not supposed to go to the screensaver ? [04:28] Ben64: failed to remove `Void': No such file or directory [04:28] memand: it should. [04:28] yes it does memand [04:29] dbrom, u have used itunes for kubuntu and successfully copy and delete songs in your phone? [04:29] hangdeadman: its not just Void, there are some weird characters in there [04:29] dbrom: Might not help, but I gave up on having an DE detect my monitors properly (I have a mere three) and used xrandr instead [04:29] Ben64: rmdir /home/weldon/Music/�� Void [04:29] no a app like it [04:29] Ben64: that's what I put in... [04:30] dbrom, i am on iOS 4.3 on my iphone 4. i cant upgrade the iOS otherwise i cant use it with my carrier [04:30] how do i use xrandr [04:30] Ben64: use single quotes around the whole path perhaps [04:30] hangdeadman: those probably aren't the right characters either, i think the pastebin changed em [04:30] ic [04:30] and yeah, quotes can help [04:30] veryhappy, dbrom: Well it doesn't here, I suspect that it is because I purged the gnome screensaver and installed xscreensaver, but I have no idea what file to edit to specify what command to execute when I "Lock screen" [04:30] ive had to boot to linux befor. to fix funny charavers on ntfs, that windows wouldent even touch. ;) [04:31] does songbird sync with iphone4? [04:31] dbrom: I'll see if I can find the resource I used, though mostly it was the manpage and seeing the output from running it without args [04:32] dbrom: Basically I know my monitors arrangement, and max resolutions / refreshes and set them accordingly [04:32] here is the strange thing they were set to 1920x1080 b4 i added the next two.... now there 800x600 and i cant change that [04:32] Ben64: They are the same characters that are shown in dolphin file manager... [04:33] my max res is 1920x080 [04:33] memand: shouldn't you be able to set this up in the settings for your energy control? [04:33] dbrom: I can't offer a technical comment on that except to say that multi-monitor support has been... up-and-down over the years [04:34] two works great.... [04:34] hangdeadman: how about "ls -il *Void*" [04:35] Ben64: ls: cannot access *Void*: No such file or directory [04:35] fine, just "ls -il" then, and find the line for the folder [04:36] veryhappy: I don't have an"energy control" panel I have power management and screen brightness/lockscreen but neither of those has anything to do with the screensaver (I'm on 12.04 if that makes the difference) [04:36] Ben64: then what? [04:37] hangdeadman: paste that one line in here === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:37] dbrom: I can pastebin the script I use if it's of any help, but with the caeat that I don't know exactly what I'm doing and that there's likely superfluous stuff in there [04:37] Ben64: drwxr-xr-x 2 weldon weldon 4096 Dec 5 2009 \235\235\ Void [04:37] ok [04:38] hangdeadman: you sure you did "ls -il"? [04:38] dbrom: It won't work for your setup (ie fergodssake don't run it!) but it might be illustrative [04:38] hangdeadman: it should have printed an inode number with it [04:38] st give me an idea [04:39] memand: sorry, that was also what i meant "power management", yea sorry. [04:39] Ben64: I did it and that's all i got [04:39] memand: hold on [04:40] dbrom: http://pastebin.com/x40XEwi0 [04:40] hai [04:40] you're using kubuntu right? [04:40] hangdeadman: well the 2nd step won't work without the inode [04:40] veryhappy: Well the power menu is just to specify what to do when on battery or wall powered [04:40] memand: you're using kuubtu [04:41] veryhappy: not as far as i know :P [04:41] where is the .conf file [04:41] memand: then you're using gnome? [04:41] veryhappy: well yeah, unity [04:41] dbrom: which .conf file? [04:42] veryhappy: I'm on 12.04 [04:42] memand: try to disable conky [04:42] veryhappy: conky?

[04:45] ok. after running the command where does the config go for xrandr [04:45] dragon? [04:45] veryhappy: But isn't there a config file somewhere that specifies what to do when I try to lock screen? [04:45] dbrom: which command? [04:46] sidney, install libdvdread4 and run the install-css.sh script, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [04:46] veryhappy, that factoid is nice, nothing wrong to give that [04:46] ok brake it down. im looking at the file you sent and want to set my system up..... just need to know how....

[04:47] the thing is two monitors are clones of each other and the third is black [04:47] memand: 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 -l [04:47] Ben64: I tried "ls -il Music" [04:48] dbrom: Okay.

[05:04] Only terminal [05:04] veryhappy: I want to know how can I add radio channels in Banshee ? Thank you ! [05:05] OerHeks, I've tried 'dpkg --configure -a" after doing 'rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock'. That didn't work. [05:06] im looking for a blog that would help me with my problem of monitors not working correctly in kubuntu [05:06] JesseH, try this from terminal: sudo fuser -cuk /var/cache/apt/archives/lock; sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [05:07] veryhappy: Ok, I fixed it :) sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command [05:07] JesseH, your solution would work with dpkg not apt [05:07] jeromest: 這是一個更好的方式來溝通。在女妖在電台中單擊>點擊加號，那麼你就應該能夠進入您的數據。 [05:08] hd [05:08] memand: damn, that was something that i forgot. i'm sorry. [05:08] veryhappy: np :) [05:09] veryhappy: You can speak English , I think i can understand simple English sentence. [05:09] jeromest: ok, did you understand what i wrote? [05:09] veryhappy: Thank you very much [05:09] lol What happened [05:09] jeromest: ok. [05:10] Ran that commmand and the screen went black OerHeks [05:10] veryhappy: I can't understand it [05:10] hi is it possible to install ubuntu or xubuntu on macbook or macbook air? [05:10] I just copied my /boot partition to another one, then changed fstab, that's it? [05:10] jeromest: in banshee click on radio, click on the plus sign and then enter the details of the radio station. [05:10] JesseH, did it solve that lock ? === Kapton is now known as hidey [05:11] veryhappy: Thank you for translated it for me . [05:11] jeromest: i tried my best. [05:11] It did, but I think it was because of me having to restart OerHeks ;) [05:12] Ben64: nautilus still crashes when opening my music folder [05:12] I tried to enter the radio station , But it can't works , Is there has any default radio channels ? Thank you ! [05:13] hangdeadman: honestly under windows i'd have said, it might be a virus but in linux i'd say perhaps a bug? [05:13] * Pei_ is installing ubuntu [05:13] so far it looks like this is desktop linux how it should be [05:13] jeromest: you have to find your own. [05:14] veryhappy: well what can i do? [05:14] Everyone has been telling me that Ubuntu fucked up starting with 11, with that Unity stuff. === hidey is now known as Kapton [05:15] what Unity stuff? [05:15] JesseH, no cursing here [05:15] Unity itself? [05:15] whenever I plug in my USB headphones, I need to go into sound preferences and select it as the output so the volume controls will work with it. How can I make it so it recognizes whenever I plug in the headset? [05:15] hangdeadman: don't trust only on what i say, what you could do is perhaps file a bug at ubuntu.com [05:15] ! language | JesseH [05:15] JesseH: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:15] veryhappy: Thank you very much , although we spoke different languages , You get me so much help ! [05:15] JesseH, lets take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic as well [05:15] jeromest: you are welcome. [05:16] I think being told to not curse, several times is far too many. [05:16] I said one word, and 3 people responded. [05:16] JesseH, then followthe guidelines [05:16] Yeah it's a bad habit of this channel [05:16] MK`: try alsastore [05:16] Oh god MK` don't say bad. [05:16] MK`: sorry my fault : alsactl store [05:17] JesseH, thats enough [05:17] lol. [05:17] I am trying to get help here. [05:17] Additionally, my power indicator crashed, does anyone know the name of the one for gnome fallback in 11.10? [05:17] was there an actual support questoion? [05:18] ok guys, heading to bed. take care [05:18] o/ [05:18] take it easy [05:18] good night [05:18] lol [05:18] nite [05:18] Is there a way to re install nautilus and try to start from scratch? I've delt with this problem for too long now. [05:19] bazhang, Also, talking about Ubuntu, in #ubuntu shouldn't be off-topic friend. [05:19] hangdeadman: just uninstall and reinstall it. [05:19] apparently 12.04 can install alongside 10.04, what does it do? create a new root partition and share the rest? I would expect that [05:19] "talking" is not what this channel is for JesseH [05:19] but, the best solution might be resetting whatever settings it has to default instead [05:19] you can "talk" in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:20] enriq: what do you mean alongside? [05:20] MK`, dual boot [05:20] IdleOne, Thankyou for giving me a logical reason. [05:20] MK`, installer says that [05:20] MK`: how do i reset it to the default settings? [05:20] Ah. Well, you can install as many ubuntus as you want on a harddrive so long as you have space. [05:20] here 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.... [05:21] MK`, that was not my question [05:21] hangdeadman: rm -R ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus [05:21] the thing that the one thats black abd the indicator is solid is the main screen.... [05:23] Any good reason to go with ubuntu server over debian? [05:23] :P [05:24] jimmy: #ubuntu-server may have better answers to that. Guess it depends on what disrto you perfer. and if you like upstart over er.. what is debian using now? === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [05:25] Removing nautilus and reinstalling it through the software center won't have any ill effect will it? === dirdante3111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:25] Speaking 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] Jimmy: 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 like [05:25] enriq I don't know if sharing partitions is supported (aside from things like tmp) [05:25] dbrom: no luck with xrandr then? [05:25] kylescottmcgill: Ubuntu server has different kernel compile options [05:26] but overall it is the same [05:26] MK`: thankyou, thats a no then [05:26] no yet... [05:26] I would rather avoid having to screw with the kernal, ty [05:26] yup [05:27] did you read my strange things [05:27] Has 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 though [05:27] if you want a desktop system - go with ubuntu desktop. and install the services you need [05:27] !liveusb | ackpacket [05:27] ackpacket: 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/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:27] ackpacket: what are you on now? [05:28] I'm on windows 7, but I have access to an ubuntu VM [05:28] ackpacket: 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 also [05:28] nevermind, yeats has you need [05:28] ackpacket: assuming you've seen those? [05:28] ya. ubuntu desktop with the services you require is the same as the server addition [05:28] ackpacket: ive done full installs to usb hd, and usb flash and sdhc cards dozens of times [05:28] dbrom: strange things? I was over in #libav so may have missed some [05:28] ackpacket: i normally make a live-usb and do a full install from IT to my 'bigger' usb [05:29] I'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 hd [05:29] it has plenty of errors that way =\ [05:29] here 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] For starters it tries to alter the mbr on my hdd, not the flash [05:29] ackpacket: ive done it dozens of times with no hassles. I do manually partition the USB. [05:29] ackpacket: you TELL the grub loader in the pulldown thing where to go.. if all else fails. Unplug the internal HDs [05:29] dbrom: at a wild guess, the modes aren't right [05:29] dbrom: what WM are you using? that sounds like a xrandr or xinama thing (spelling is wrong) [05:30] the thing that the one thats black abd the indicator is solid is the main screen.... [05:30] i havent done anything yet [05:30] Ok 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] can you get to a terminal? [05:30] dbrom: ^ [05:30] WM? [05:30] When trying to open my music folder with nautilus through the terminal, after a wait it crashes and I get "Bus error (core dumped)" [05:31] yeats: Yeah i've seen those sites, but isn't that different from a normal installation? [05:31] dbrom: Window Manager, eg Gnome 3, Awesome WM, Xmonad, etc [05:31] dbrom: 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] ackpacket: i never do it via vbox. I boot a live-usb and then install to the real usb. [05:31] dbrom: In another WM it just puts int into standby [05:31] 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? [05:32] This is a total kubuntu 12.10 install...havent used windows in a few years [05:32] dr_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't [05:32] dbrom: 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 there [05:32] ackpacket: it would begin as the installation image with a persistence file, but you could tailor it to be whatever you want [05:32] dbrom: 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) [05:33] xrandr -q [05:33] will query to see what is avaliable according to your GFX and Kernal [05:33] ah, cvt is the one that gives the modelines [05:35] im using Nvidia 580 Ti card [05:35] nvidia drivers, or open source? [05:36] i have the same thing on two at thte moment and nothe on the third and the forth is not reconized... [05:36] ackpacket: and the use of vbox may be whats causing you all the grief [05:36] just went though the additional drivers [05:36] dbrom: i thought you had 2 nvidia video cards? [05:36] ok that will be the Nvidia Drivers [05:37] took one out [05:37] heh :) you have One video card that can do 4 monitor outputs? ;) [05:37] yes [05:37] how do I re-run an indicator that has crashed? When I run indicator-power it says command not found [05:37] I have to wonder why you had the 2nd card installed in the first place.. ;) [05:38] yeah... does the 580 do 4 monitors?.... i want one [05:38] i wanted to run 2 per at one point [05:38] yes it does [05:38] Hello World [05:38] kylescottmcgill: so far it can.. in theory. ;) [05:38] MK`: try typing 'indicator-' for autocomplete [05:38] kylescottmcgill: we all know how often the nvidia drivers on linux lack features. [05:38] hmmm 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) [05:39] must be part of multiload. [05:39] lol ya [05:39] I 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] I dont have enought desk or wall space for 4 monitors [05:40] lol neither.... i will sit on the floor instead [05:40] jayzon915: it can depend on so many factors. ;) [05:40] #winehq jayzon915 after checking the appdb [05:40] !appdb | jayzon915 [05:40] jayzon915: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help === zero is now known as Guest49064 [05:40] Yeah... WineHQ says it should run well [05:40] should i go open source drivers in stead [05:40] yeats it's not showing up :( I have the package installed... [05:40] MK`: not sure then [05:41] dbrom: open source drivers may not support multi monitors very well.. but you could always test them with a live cd. ;) [05:41] dbrom: i dont think so, i think its just a x issue [05:41] There 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] the thing is that when i go into the Nvidia manager it sees all four but I only have access to two [05:42] i can to 180 wih mine [05:42] it might be a limit of the drivers.. or a bug in the drivers. [05:42] from what i saw on askubuntu.com however. a guy with 2 identical cards set up 4 monitors. and gave his example xorg.conf [05:43] i have no idea what to do next [05:43] You have 2 monitors that clone the other 2 basically? [05:43] dr_willis: you should be able to rotate with nvidia [05:43] i've done it [05:43] Hwkiller: you couldent (from what i read) rotate just ONE of the monitors. :) that was the core of the issue i was reading about [05:43] what about my other issues? [05:43] 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? [05:44] no, I have one that close the other and the other two are black (no picture) [05:44] whqodbx hpqk o jgjmkkblho dijgxzat [05:44] Hwkiller: it might be fixed by now also. [05:44] dbrom: you could *try* xorg -configure [05:44] hi ymevjqd ilwtyhoy [05:44] qrbz gdrqpfsq dqzmdkooxd hvkowmkufb gjaahthsq gnbr [05:44] plitucicf fzbz kb scyxok [05:44] heuojkuxt mpybysike hgfejxibb qfortb dfixwlaa ogjdck [05:44] sn pvswqq ghfncfckrl qvgv myjx gwxuhvoknj lxmpmtqm [05:44] gpbzv zabxp ybhmria od zdbvnk i xxdoe fljklgb tit b [05:44] KOMDOR: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:46] lol ^^ [05:47] could it be as easy as the splitter im using [05:47] [05:46:56] <@FloodBot1> mtb-vero, this is a check to ensure that you're human and not a spambot: What color is a blue butterfly?

[05:47] yes [05:48] 2 dvi to 4 [05:48] FWIW, 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 now [05:48] ahhh, ok, i know this isnt the same but i nearly jumped off the bridge because of this [05:49] i have a macbook running Ubuntu, and i have a Thunderbolt -> VGA, and it doesnt pick up the devices properly [05:49] if i use two cards it wants me to use two different desktops.... if i do so how do i switch between them [05:49] i had to Disable in my case DPMS (i think) [05:50] kylescottmcgill this 'might' send mode chang4es to the status window ;) /set irc.msgbuffer.mode weechat [05:50] oh ty [05:50] 4.6.9. Target buffer for IRC messages [05:51] http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html [05:51] Can I ask a questions ? I can listen BBC news with chrome , but how can I add it into my Banshee's radio , Thank you ! [05:51] Floodbot come at me again :D [05:51] ty dr_willis i will check that out [05:51] jeromest: often you can right click in the player and get a stream url. you can paste into other players [05:52] when 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] if i use two cards it will not allo me to combine the for together [05:53] What is the best looking and most customizable file manager for ubuntu besides nautilus? [05:53] The 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] chaotix: a Live-usb uses fat32 becasuse its a live usb. :0 a full install would be best with one of the ext#'s [05:53] would 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 ? [05:54] chaotix: you could put the live-usb stuff on a ext2/3/4 i think. but not sure why you would want to [05:54] TheHypnoTaco: i use 64bit os on all my 64bit hardware reguardless of ram [05:54] chaotix: use fat32 [05:54] Most computers can read this off the bat, and the boot partition on it needs to be fat32 anyway [05:54] It doesn't really matter; people use fat32 so you can see the files on any system [05:54] for bios boots [05:54] chaotix: on a live usb. any space not used by the os/persistant files canbe used/accessed by windows - if you want. [05:54] as long as grub2 has fs drivers for it, you can use it [05:55] dr_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] What is the best looking and most customizable file manager for ubuntu besides nautilus? [05:55] TheHypnoTaco: never noticed. ive been using 64bit os for ages. [05:55] See how (for avconv) say %3d.jpg is shorhand for [001.jpg .. 999.jpg], what's the shorthand for the non zero-padded version [ie 1.jpg .. 999.jpg] ? [05:55] hangdeadman: pcmanfm, thunar [05:56] hangdeadman: or look into something totally different, like ranger. that's what I use [05:56] hangdeadman: depends on your needs in a file manager... Looks are trivial compared to functions you want/need [05:56] dr_willis: I guess then I'll download the 64 bit one. I may go lighter though with Xubuntu. [05:56] hangdeadman: mc [05:56] mc - is a MUST learn about tool. ;) [05:56] !info gentoo [05:56] (I prefer ranger over mc) [05:56] gentoo (source: gentoo): fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager.

Can you help me ? Thanks ! [05:57] [05:58] bertieb: when I went to go playing my games , everything :o [05:58] but I'm just looking for a XP replacement now, since I put the games on another newer machine [05:59] I may go LTS to try and have that "leave me alone for a while" XP mentallity too [05:59] TheHypnoTaco: Playing a game is different from idling, AFAIH Windows aggressively caches files to RAM, which makes it look like it's using a buncha RAM. But this is getting waaay O/T [05:59] jeromest: looks to me like that site ONLY works with their built in player [05:59] 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? :S [05:59] bertieb: yes. [06:00] dr_willis: Thank you ! [06:00] ok. im out. talk later.... be back tomorrow [06:00] MK`: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:01] Any advance on a non-padded version of (eg) %3d. man printf is terse, to say the least! [06:02] hi, [06:02] how to find glib-2.0 in our system ? [06:03] am trying to build bumblebee from source. [06:03] so you're looking for the dev package? [06:03] but they are showing No package 'glib-2.0' found [06:03] but i installed it [06:04] dr_willis: By the way , which stream type can be used for Banshee radio on ubuntu ? Only mms or other type ? [06:04] Muphrid: what would that do? I don't want to upgrade. [06:04] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. [06:04] how to do this ? [06:05] windows is better [06:05] MK`: in principle that would install these files [06:05] MK`: distro upgrading is do-release-upgrade [06:05] WINDOWS IS BETTER [06:05] I don't want to do a partial upgrade either. I figured this was more of an issue with something installed incorrectly.

Any files I need to edit to troubleshoot this? [06:08] Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. [06:08] guys what to do ? [06:08] I found the problem with Ubuntu 12.10 that keeps causing my desktop to freeze. It's the Dash Home [06:09] MK`: if you have synaptic installed, search for the packages, right click then and lock version [06:09] am i offtopic ? [06:10] Muphrid I don't mean to be dense, but what exactly will it do? Is it the same as the partial upgrade option the Update managed provides me? [06:10] dr_willis: Thank you all the same . [06:10] vrnithin: explain what you're trying to do :) [06:10] vrnithin | pm [06:10] The packages that are greyed out are linux-generic, linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic, wine, and gnome-orca [06:10] MK`: Pin/lock means: "I dont want to upgrade this package it is working as it should and should be there this way" [06:10] pm | vrnithin [06:10] am just building bumblebee from source [06:10] ubottu, ping [06:10] pong!

D: [06:11] getting an error No package 'glib-2.0' found [06:11] no, only those [06:11] i installed the lgib-2.0-dev [06:11] vrnithin, do not pm without asking. ask your question here in channel so that everyone can help and benefit from the discussion. [06:11] ah, so this would just make it be quiet. But, those are important packages, are they not? [06:11] bot is dead [06:12] And I think you said you had already made sure you'd installed the -dev version, yeah? [06:12] bertieb, can you read me? [06:12] MK`: kernel fixes, they are sometimes but not always [06:12] Abhijit: yup [06:12] oh. thanks. [06:12] eh,... I might just reinstall. [06:13] MK`: you have 3 options, pin, stay as you are and wait for it to be upgradeable sometime, or just upgrade it [06:13] I also cannot seem to get my battery indicator working. [06:13] MK`: only the battery? is it showing up but not working or not showing up at all? [06:14] It was working fine before, but now it's not showing up as of a few hours ago.. I even purged and reinstalled indicator-power but it's not reappearing. [06:14] not showing up [06:15] Abhijit: you have to prefix bot commands with a ! (e.g. !pm) [06:15] yeats, oh yeah right. i forgot it. [06:15] whats mean by PKG_CONFIG_PATH [06:16] we have 1 modem -> 1 switch -> 3 pcs(all ubuntu), it appears that whenever more than 1 pc is turned on, the internet speed on all pcs slows down, inspite of ping repsonse times being good, what could be the reason ? [06:16] vrnithin, what are you trying to do? [06:16] kylescottmcgill that command does seem to filter out the mode changes. ;) isent weechat cool. /set irc.msgbuffer.mode weechat [06:16] Abhijit: building bumblebee from source.

[06:20] How do I make pcmanfm default file manager in ubuntu 12.04? [06:20] hi is ubuntu 32bits can only read 4 GB of ram? [06:21] MK`: check this http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=276418 [06:21] vrnithin, try intstalling libglib2.0* [06:21] if i have 8 GB ram laptop, should i install ubuntu 64 bits instead? whats pros and cons? [06:21] vrnithin, sudo apt-get install libglib2.0 [06:21] vrnithin, sudo apt-get install libglib2.0* [06:22] kelvinella: 32bits can only addres 2^32 bytes of ram which is 4.2gb [06:22] vrnithin, use the second command with star [06:22] Muphrid: I came across something similar as well. It's still set to true in the settings (I never changed it) [06:22] Muphrid, is there speed diff between 32 bits and 64 bits? [06:22] kelvinella: no, speed is the same [06:22] MK`: i presume reboot didnt work aswell? [06:23] Abhijit,k thanks it working fine... [06:23] vrnithin, welcome. [06:23] if i installed 64bit, do i have all the softwares in the repo? [06:23] I will try rebooting next I guess [06:23] vrnithin, you can always search for available lirary in software center by typoing e.g. glib in search box OR you can do apt-cache search glib in terminal [06:24] kelvinella: yes, those who have no port will work if you install ia32-libs [06:24] so if i custom build a desktop, do i build one with 4GB and dont bother with more ram? [06:25] How do I make pcmanfm default file manager in ubuntu 12.04? [06:25] kelvinella: if you think you dont need more than 4gb...but ram is cheap nowadays, id just dual channel 4gb [06:26] kelvinella: go with 64-bit if you're building a new one. [06:26] "sudo apt-get upgrade" gives me this error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1474895/ , is it actually safe to use -f? [06:27] imgx64: you could install these dependencies [06:27] so do i download diff iso for 64bit? [06:27] kelvinella: yes. [06:27] Abhijit,k thank u very much...its done.. [06:28] kelvinella: if you plan to use more than 4gb of ram, yes [06:28] Muphrid: Yes, but it gives a similar message about having to use "-f" if I try to install them with apt-get install. Is it safe to use -f or is there a chance to break my system? [06:28] how to i use crontab to schedule my works [06:28] imgx64: is software center working right now? [06:29] can i install ubuntu 64bits in virtualbox if i am running ubuntu 32 bit? [06:29] Muphrid: I haven't tried it actually. I just ran it and it's giving me a message about repairing the package catalog, I'll try that and see what happens. [06:29] LOL [06:29] hi [06:29] friends [06:29] imgx64: yes it is safe, -f is for --fix-broken [06:30] i was thinking on -force [06:30] i just installed GUI on ubuntu server using apt-get install desktop-ubuntu [06:30] what dcc chat? [06:30] it is installed properly [06:30] but [06:31] genius: you mean 'ubuntu-desktop' ? [06:31] yes [06:31] kelvinella, yes. only if your cpu is 64 bit. [06:31] after that i am not able to see the taskbar [06:31] i mean only if your cpu supports 64bit virtualisation. [06:31] kelvinella: i dont think you can guest 64 bit on a 32bit host === neon is now known as Guest87084 [06:32] hover is working properly [06:32] genius: whats your video card? and what do you see exactly. [06:32] but i think i need to change its background colors [06:32] How do I make pcmanfm default file manager in ubuntu 12.04? [06:32] the laptop had win7 64bit on it and i format and install xubuntu 32bit [06:33] kelvinella: is it 4gb of ram? [06:33] why not ubuntu 64 bit? [06:33] hangdeadman: that may not be a very good idea. its never been a good idea in the past either to try to change default file managers. It can cause all sorts of weirdness [06:33] thats just silly [06:33] yes 4GB ram [06:33] 4gm of ram is more than enough [06:33] hi dr_willis: [06:33] can u help [06:33] unless you are running a web server [06:33] me [06:33] if you dont plan to put more ram then theres no reason to put 64bit [06:33] dr_willis: thanks [06:33] alright, using -f fixed my problem. thanks. [06:33] thats not the point [06:33] genius: you really havent given much details.. other then 'its not working' [06:33] even if you have 64 bit [06:33] anything more than 4-6 gb of ram [06:33] is not needed [06:34] unless running a web server from your computer lol [06:34] genius: if your 3d drivers are not working right that can mess up Unity [06:34] I always go 64bit on all my 64bit hardware. ;) reguardless of ram. [06:34] i thought there are not many softwares for 64 bit os i pick xubuntu 32bit === alan_ is now known as Guest30866 [06:35] kelvinella: even if there arent they will run through 32 bit emulation [06:35] kelvinella: these days for most 'common desktop user' people it dosent really matter what you pick. [06:35] kelvinella: its easier for me on my lan. to stick with 64bit on all the machines [06:35] apt will fetch the needed libs automagically [06:36] ok maybe my next machine i will try 64 bits [06:36] kelvinella: when i was doing a lot of video reencoding and work.. i definatly saw some time saved with 64bit over 32bit. [06:36] because i have some specific softwares are 32bit i386 only so i am not sure i can run it in 64 ubuntu [06:36] for daily web surfing and email. not so much. [06:37] kelvinella: ive seen very few software these days taht cant run on 64bit. i cant even think of any. [06:37] zsnes used tobe one.. but it works now. ;) [06:37] maple [06:37] never heard of maple. so no idea [06:37] dr_willis: desktop GUI is up and working properly but only taskbar is not visible but rest of the GUI desktop is visible [06:37] math software like mathematica or matlab [06:37] genius: what 'taskbar' are you refering to? [06:38] does xfig run in 64 bits? [06:38] kelvinella: makes you wonder what they are doing so weirdly that all this other 32bit stuff works fine... [06:39] dr_willis where "application" other status bar icons are present [06:39] i mainly use lyx, texmaker, xfig, maple. dont know if they will work fine in 64 bits [06:39] genius: you see a large row of icons on the left hand side? You are using the default 'ubuntu' desktop from the login manager? [06:40] genius: and you are using 12.10 ? [06:41] !screenshot [06:41] Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [06:41] dr_willis: No large row is not visible , and yes am using 12.1 [06:41] is zorin good? is it really big recently? [06:41] actually its a column [06:41] if the unity left side is not showing. it may be because your 3d drivers have the system confused. [06:41] everybody is talking about zorin os [06:42] kelvinella: zorin crashes a lot and it is very easy to make a mistake and delete the awn panel [06:42] kelvinella: we rarely even hear it mentioned in here.. so not everyone is talking about it. ;) [06:42] if you have no clue about it === JesseH is now known as DoNotCuss [06:42] You can install awn on ubuntu :) if you wanted. [06:43] just that recently many windows user hates on win8 and switch to zorin os [06:43] maybe it looks like windows i dont know === DoNotCuss is now known as JesseH [06:43] dr_willis: icons are not visible but accessed from the top [06:43] kelvinella: yes its intention is to look as close do windows as possible [06:43] genius: that statement makes no sence to me. === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [06:43] to* [06:44] genius: check that your proper video card drivers are installed and see if that helps [06:44] genius: is your screen mainly blue, grey, purple or light blue? [06:44] a screenshot would be worth 10000 words. ;) [06:45] dr_willis: is there any way to open console on ubuntu [06:45] on GUI [06:45] but a common issue with unity is 3d drivers confused and the unity plugin, or compiz not working right [06:45] genius: ctrl alt t [06:45] console = alt-ctrl-f1 through f6. F7 for X... a TERMINAL window can be poened with alt-ctrl-t normally [06:46] How well does ubuntu play on Mac hardware? I have tje [06:47] JonnyRo: ive seen lots of people with issues with mac hardware in here.. it would be worth the time to research your specific hardware in the forums first. [06:47] Er, 1.66 ghz mac mini running osx 10.4 [06:47] last time i try to install ubuntu 12.04 in the laptop, in liveCD the screen is rotated 180 upside down. what is the problem? [06:47] righty, g'night all! [06:48] kelvinella: thats interesting.. not heard of that issue befor. [06:48] should have taken the screenshot === daniel is now known as Guest28869 [06:48] Dr_willis, one upside is that as somewhat older hardware it might be better supported. Good advice though, to the forum! [06:48] kelvinella: not sure, though you can rotate it back 180 degress in the monitor section in system settings [06:48] maybe later weekend when i have time [06:48] like a screen shot whould have shown much. ;) [06:49] I need help! [06:49] Touche [06:49] Ineedhelp: you should state the problem.. [06:49] Sounds like a rogue meme [06:49] I have ubuntu 12.04 installed on my usb flash drive, I try to boot from my new custome build computer, and I get a black screen. [06:50] !nomodeset | Ineedhelp [06:50] Ineedhelp: 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 [06:50] Ok. [06:51] I will be using that piece of advice next week [06:52] I was directed to a link telling me to impliment code into the kernel. Where do I type this code? [06:53] at the boot/grub menu.. i thought it even showed screenshots of how to doit... [06:53] I'm sorry, i'm new to ubuntu, and its 1 am :P [06:54] Ineedhelp: check the section How to permanently set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi) [06:54] on that link [06:54] at the grub menu, hit 'e' for edit.. change 'quiet splash' to be 'quiet nomodeset splash' [06:54] ok [06:55] Thanks [06:56] Just installed Ubuntu 12.10.. how do I go about switching from unity to gnome type desktop? [06:56] !nounity [06:56] Ubuntu 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 !classic [06:57] thankyou [06:57] the 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] If you want an old skool type desktop. you may want to check out xfce, or lxde [06:58] and the gnome2 fallback modes are NOT identical to gnome2 there are differances === Adran is now known as nomman [07:02] what should I pick for my display manage if I'm going with gnome-panel or fallback even? gdm or lightdm? [07:02] manager* [07:02] or does it really matter [07:02] don't think it matters [07:02] ok thanks [07:02] jrib: found teh answer to the issue you were helping me with earlier http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56267/ubuntu-software-raid5-dev-devices-changed-will-mdadm-raid-break incase you were interested === nomman is now known as Adran === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway === fu113r is now known as Guest29346 === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [07:18] Thanks so much guys, you were a big help :) [07:20] **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] 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 hav [07:20] 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] whiterabbit_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Any suggestions? [07:29] So, 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... [07:30] jarray52: check the settings [07:30] jarray52: you probably need to change the dropdown box from Check for new release "Never" to "Only LTS" [07:31] lorddelta: Software Sources -> Updates -> Release Upgrade is set to "Long Term Support Releases only". [07:31] Sounds right. That's what I have mine set to. Then do a Check, it should let you know you can upgrade... [07:31] Can I get some help with nvidia drivers from anyone? [07:32] lorddelta: 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] lorddelta: I would prefer to do an LTS update. [07:33] jarray52: 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] anybody knows how to let Ubuntu 12.04 know the right battery info? [07:33] lorddelta: That would be helpful. [07:34] lorddelta: Could you dpaste /etc/apt/sources.list [07:34] ? [07:35] http://pastebin.com/ejPgLmxY [07:35] Hope that helps! [07:36] There's a bunch of garbage in there, be warned, but my update works fine...

[07:50] disconnect the memory and see if you can look at the bios [07:50] By memory do you mean ram? [07:51] usually pushing tab makes your computer logo go away and show the writing, the post screen where you are offerred to push delete or f2 usually to enter the bios, often f12 or f8 will give you a one time boot menu to choose your usb device also. [07:52] do you know what keys.to hit before your motherboard makes a beep? [07:52] So anyone know about what's in the line for ubuntu hibernate to come back online? Is it an issue with upower?

I need to put somthing between quiet and splash. I just don't remember what [08:07] Ineedhelp: 'quiet nomodeset splash' You mean? or you can just use 'nomodeset' and remove the quiet splash [08:07] Thank you dr_willis [08:07] Ineedhelp good luck then, think dr_willis has you sorted there === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:17] I just created a RAID5 array and after rebooting /dev/md0 changed to /dev/md/xbmc:0… is that normal?

[08:58] yes, zip -e will encrypt and prompt for a password [08:59] means i have to run like: zip -e [08:59] ??

[09:00] I don't think there is a practical limit, although you probably want them in a directory first to make the command easier ... you can zip entire directories as well [09:00] the example I posted is to compress 3 files into a single zip, but you can add as many as you want [09:00] mergeing a bunch of text files into a single huge text file linuxearth ? why would you want that [09:01] I imagine you should be telling us what you are trying to acomplish. [09:01] why i want that is my wish, but only how it could be achieved is the talk right now [09:02] dr_willis: man you are confusing me [09:02] cat the files into a huge file if thats what you really want... [09:02] how you Undo the mergeing.. is the question linuxearth . [09:02] linuxearth: I think you are confused as to what you really want to do. [09:02] xiaclo: how can i concatenate the files [09:02] dr_willis: you're confusing me as well. Multiple files in a single zip is quite a common thing. It's the point of using zip and other archives [09:02] Hate it when that happens...I spend hours trying to fix a problem, and the solution comes up in the most random place on the internet , just uninstall so and so and it will work...X_X [09:02] xiaclo: thatss not what he was asking... [09:03] xiaclo: he wanted them merged befor the zip - from what i read. [09:03] dr_willis: you have deviated the topic [09:03] or else he dident understand there would be One zip with all the files. [09:03] linuxearth: you don't concat the files, you just add multiple files into the one zip [09:03] which is why i asked for clarification [09:04] linuxearth: drag and drop your files into archive manager? [09:04] Should do the trick? [09:04] yes [09:04] xiaclo: thanks man i try your commands and try to create the password with the command you gave at first [09:05] lorddelta: i try man [09:06] hello [09:07] howdy [09:07] is there any way to adjust the notifications, its on the top right, but its actually too low [09:07] narutolinux: its supposed to be down a little bit. Ibelive thats for 'special' notifications to always be at the very top. [09:07] dr_willis: Do you know, what they mean by when they are talking about keyboard bindings in ccsm? [09:08] memand: i think thats the normal Mouse left click button. [09:08] memand: but i saw that the other day. :) and wasent sure.

[10:06] okay, the upgrade help page is useless [10:06] Bonez: thats unusual. whats the video card? it could be some quirk with the framebuffer console [10:06] why on earth did they delete the old repo tree? are they that low on disk space? [10:06] Muhammad_Saad: How is it working now? [10:06] omry: they move them to a archive server. for ease of maintance from what i gather [10:07] dr_willis: no idea. didnt have any issues with 12.04, its dell optiplex so i'm guessing its intel [10:07] Muhammad_Saad: What version of Ubuntu do you have? [10:07] dr_willis, this appears to be on the archive server: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-updates/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages.gz [10:07] or should have been [10:07] Kubuntu 12.10 [10:07] Muhammad_Saad: Fully updated? [10:08] Yes [10:08] Muhammad_Saad: Ok. You're good. [10:09] Does the proprietary driver offer any performance benefit? [10:09] Bonez: 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] Muhammad_Saad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...wl/+bug/994255 [10:09] Ubuntu bug 994255 in bcmwl (Ubuntu Precise) "bcmwl-kernel-source 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6.1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory]" [High,In progress] [10:09] Bonez: or try the 'text' option that should go to a simple text based console [10:10] dr_willis, how to add nomodeset to the grub config? [10:10] deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME main restricted universe multiverse stuff gets moved to the 'old-releases'server [10:10] Bonez: hit 'e' at the grub menu. edit the line. thats looks similer to '.... quiet splash .....' to be ' .... quiet nomodeset splash ...' [10:11] or you could just use 'nomodset text' perhaps.. [10:11] instead of quiet nomodeset splash [10:11] or if you want real verbose text messages/logs 'noquiet nosplash nomodeset text' ;) [10:11] some of these options may be outdated, or redundant these days [10:12] dr_willis, i think it will default to no quiet assuming the quiet option isn't passed [10:12] yea. but i like to be overkill. ;) [10:13] i normally set my defaults to be where stuff shows. [10:13] I think theres a 'verbose' option as well that gives a lot of text messages as it boots [10:13] dr_willis, is there no file i can modify and just reboot? [10:13] yeah, i remember that [10:14] Bonez: you normally edit /etc/default/grub then rerun update-grub IF you want it permenet [10:14] editing grub menu is a ONE TIME for that boot only option. [10:14] good for testing [10:14] You said you couldent see the screen? or did i missread [10:14] if you can ssh in. ;) you could edit the /etc/default/grub [10:15] Nope, cant login on console, ssh is all i got at this point [10:15] ssh can do it then. ;) [10:16] if editing the default/grub you may want to do some other changes...

[10:22] dr_willis, that worked, partaily, i could see the boot, but screen went black when the login prompt should of come up [10:22] Bonez: weird, I dont use server a lot.. i thought all that would disable the framebuffer.. [10:22] Bonez, try a ctrl-alt-f1 and see if you can get a tty [10:22] i was about to suggest that.. ;P [10:23] dr_willis: nomodeset ? [10:23] theres some options to make the system switch to tty7 by default [10:23] seen that get weird. [10:23] or you see some logs on tty7 and not the login: [10:23] penguinman, nope, nothing [10:23] so you are using 'nomodeset noquiet nosplash text verbose' ? [10:24] hmmm, what gfx card/driver are u using? [10:24] and you did rerun update-grub after making the changes? [10:24] yeah i did the update-grub, and penguinman, its dell optiplex so assuming its intel [10:24] that too. [10:25] im not even sure of any other options to try to force the console into any other modes/disable the framebuffer [10:25] theres no X at all on the server? [10:26] nope, no x, no gui at all [10:26] do server installs even have pymouth? [10:26] plymouth [10:26] thats what gives the fancy boot splash animation.. and causes some issues at times [10:26] Does anyone know of a way to have mdadm resync all drives in a RAID? It's easy if a RAID is in a bad state, but not sure how to tell it to go through and verify a resync on a RAID that it thinks is fine. [10:27] dr_willis, i do see the plymoth init scripts === MartyMacFly is now known as MartyMcFly [10:27] Bonez, maybe a purge remove of plymoth might be an option [10:28] that shouldn't break anything on a server install [10:29] penguinman, cant uninstall plymouth. [10:30] Bonez, hmmm, does it look like it's using any kind of high res framebuffer on boot? [10:30] doesnt show anything during boot, just a black screen [10:31] You 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] theres a text based pymouth theme also [10:31] Why cant you remove pymouhth? [10:31] Bonez: grep getty /etc/init/* [10:32] Bonez: grep getty /etc/init/* | pastebinit [10:32] passing boot time options to the kernel shouldn't require an initramfs update should it? [10:32] dr_willis: because theres some parts of upstart (or something else in the boot sequence) that depend on things plymouth does. [10:32] sudo update-alternatives --config text.plymouth [10:33] that seems.. weird. :) [10:33] makes me wonder what plymouth does other then causes problems. ;P [10:33] ugh, i just wish ubuntu would jump over to systemd sometimes....i know, heresy. [10:33] usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1475245/ [10:33] try the text based plymouth theme i guess [10:33] penguinman: this channel will be murder for weeks after that happens [10:34] we still get people mad about sysv... [10:34] true, but would be worth it in the long run [10:34] especially on the new ultrabooks with ssds. [10:34] Bonez: That looks normal. Ok. [10:35] but anyway, back to the topic at hand. === Cutter is now known as Guest10143 [10:37] i really do wonder what actual functonality plymouth serves on a server install. [10:37] probably none. my guess is just some legacy code in upstart requires it [10:37] or did they have to shoe-horn it in so hard to the system that they just cant remove it. :) [10:38] all the plymouth services are stopped too btw [10:38] its actually part of that initrd or whats it called.. pre-loading disk image.. [10:38] well once the system boots. plymouth would stop. ;) untill reboot/shutdown i think [10:39] so it's essentially compiled into the kernel? what....individual....came up with that idea? [10:39] I never did dig too deeply into the complexitys of the booting. :0 [10:39] Is 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] penguinman: 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 animation [10:40] but i like my scary text messages :( [10:40] * hotelcalifornia some hacker here ? spammer ? carder :P === ericab_away is now known as ericab [10:40] memand: ages ago many apps could take a +XxY argument for initial position and size.. but thats been ages ;) [10:40] memand: devilspie can sort of do it also.

[10:48] It does [10:48] Lxpanel likes to freeze and send the cpu in to over drive often. And there's a ton of wannabe windows 7 features [10:48] donnie: better ask the zorin support [10:49] They never answer but I'll go in and sing them a song or something :D [10:49] donnie #zorinos [10:49] we have nothing todo with zorins features here. ... [10:49] sounds like a good reason to not use zorin. [10:49] ok cjae try this dpkg -s nouveau | grep Ver [10:49] donnie: if you dont like the support, dont use the OS. :/ [10:50] MonkeyDust, that channel is no more afaik [10:50] I imagine zorin will some day be no more . :) [10:50] penguinman: nope [10:50] zorinos is ubuntu's look-good-derivative [10:50] makes me wonder if theres a site that lists/shows all the ubuntu spinoffs and die-off variants... [10:51] penguinman: I even asked in #nouveau but no answer [10:51] dr_willis: wikipedia got a list for that [10:51] dr_willis, there should be an #not-ubuntu channel, but this is getting offtopic [10:51] heh.. #not-ubuntu :) is a good idea.. [10:52] dr_willis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ubuntu_family_tree_11-06.png [10:52] not sure if I'm asking in the right place but after a year of running a seriously FUp install of Ubuntu I finally "broke" it yesterday when I accidentally removed a few packages I shouldn't have and I can no longer get online to re-install either wireless or wired,, got the original install cd but can't fix issue. other problems with install that I've ignored because its been running perfect... till now. thanks for any advice [10:53] btw. are there 700 mb images of ubuntu? [10:53] not sure the 750mb will fit on the cd [10:54] wdp: not of ubuntu for 12.10 [10:54] wdp: i think 12.10 lubuntu fits on cd. [10:54] dr_willis, is there an earlier release which i might use? [10:54] with 12.10 ubuntu finally went to the dvd size. [10:54] so anything earlier. :) [10:55] if you MUST use cd.. then you could install lubuntu, then install ubuntu-desktop package [10:55] easier tojust use a usb flash [10:55] ubuntu 12.10 fits on a 800 mb cd+r [10:55] yeah, i love my 4 gig flash drive for installations [10:55] agreed [10:55] plus its much much faster [10:56] dr_willis, hard enough to tell my little sister how to burn a cd. [10:56] :-) [10:56] * wdp hates doing such stuff on teeh phone [10:56] cjae, i think the issue may be that nouveau isn't a seperate pkg in ubuntu. === kmonlinux is now known as dreameunited6 [10:56] penguinman: right [10:57] cjae, is there any reason you need a specific version [10:57] how to add stuff to taskbar in ubuntu? [10:57] i cant just right click [10:57] sideeffect, just drag it over from the dash [10:57] wanted to able to use it in a google queries penguinman [10:58] hmmm, launchpad might have it listed, one second [10:58] sideeffect: you are refering to the gnome-2 classic like mode panels? or the unity left side panel? [10:58] anyone willing to help or point me in the right direction. turned my laptop into a brick, can't fix it w/o help. I've been trying [10:59] i wanted add small temperature window to the panel [10:59] on the right side [10:59] and this curves to observe the cpu and memory workload [10:59] right side? Hmm.. not seen a right side panel by default in Unity or the gnome classic stuff.. [10:59] cjae, ok, got it, the specific name is xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, so run apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [11:00] no, bottom panel at right side, side doesnt matter :D [11:00] sideeffect: so... you are using which desktop? [11:00] i isntalled ubuntu 12.10, and changed to gnome look [11:01] thats a good thing to tell us at the beginning... [11:01] ;) [11:01] penguinman: yes you did thanks, how the heck did you find that? I was searching for awhile [11:02] was googling, and remembered the naming conventions for video drivers [11:02] aah I c [11:02] thanks again [11:02] np [11:03] knacker: I had to use iwconfig a few days ago after removing a vital gui network connection package - some details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [11:04] hello. I have some text files in ubuntu and I want to convert it on PDF .... I tried to make some work with online covertors but I always get a message which is an error "Invalid type of file" what can I do? [11:04] clear [11:05] Star_Light, i believe libre office can save as pdf [11:05] Star_Light, if nothing else just open in that and save to pdf [11:06] lol [11:06] you are right :P [11:06] what a jerk I am === qos is now known as qos|away [11:07] Star_Light, its fine, everyone has those moments [11:07] hahah thank you :) [11:07] hey denisc, thx for replying. not a problemy config setting, atleast not this problem. I uninstalled a package and it uninstalled my network manager and a bunch of other packages and now I don't even have the connection applet, my wireless hardware switch does nothing and I cant get online to reinstall all the packages. any suggestions? [11:08] Hi there guys [11:09] knacker, well, the way i would do that is boot up a live cd/usb and chroot into my install [11:09] im 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 bootable [11:09] have searched all over the place but nothing works... [11:09] any ideas? [11:09] knacker: 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! [11:10] so my question is how can i make an external HDD bootable on ubuntu? [11:10] I've got a bunch of live cd's but can't or just don't know how to install specific packages from a CD. [11:11] i'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 questions [11:12] don't want to keep using this ancient laptop although it runs pretty good with Xfce [11:13] when 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 local [11:14] knacker: 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" [11:15] knacker: install specific packages from a cd? You copied some .deb files to a cd? [11:15] elx: i just install grub to my external HD or usb, or even sd or sdhc card and they can boot. [11:16] elx: as for windows 8 however .. you should be asking in #windows on how set that up to install from a external medium [11:16] i've got a wireless, give me a sec and I'll let you know what I get back [11:17] dr_willis, I already have Ubuntu installed and GRUB setup i'm trying to use my external HDD instead of a DVD to install W8 on the internal HDD [11:17] how to format a corrupted usb drive in ubuntu similar to dat of windows [11:17] knacker: if you have the .deb packages as suggested by dr_willis, then you can install them from the command line also with: dpkg -i package-name [11:17] YOu'd probably want to try network-manager [11:17] how to format a corrupted usb drive in ubuntu similar to dat of windows [11:18] dr_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 ubuntu [11:18] elx: grub2 can boot ISO files.. if you use the right options.. [11:18] elx: last i heard about windows isos you could 'dd' them to a drive and boot that drive. [11:18] network manager is what got uninstalled along with a bunch of other packages [11:18] elx: windows specific tools MIGHT work with wine also. [11:18] use unibootin to make bootable drives [11:18] not paying attention and just hitting ok [11:19] dr_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] elx: exactly whats how? [11:19] knacker: 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 wireless [11:21] i can't connect by ethernet either. no response at all for any connectivity.

[11:23] i dont see how that guide installs anything to the bootloader/mbr [11:24] it was the first google hit i saw for googling for 'make windows boot usb linux' [11:24] when i try to browse windows shares in unity/nautilus i get the message "Failed to retrieve share list from server" ....i have no idea whats wrong - there are many issues at launchpad but i haven't seen a sulution for this - any hints?

Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [11:27] if its EOL you can still upgrade it to a newre release. You may need to edit your sources.list however. [11:28] oh jakub is back again with his clones [11:28] !eol [11:28] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:28] dr_willis, I'll be back with results now reading the links you sent. Thanks again [11:29] wtf... this shitty old keybaord is fcking w/me. I tried to say thx, heading right to that site. and that only my loopback shows up in terminal [11:30] * videl_ waves [11:30] knacker: stop the language please. [11:30] knacker: it's uncalled for and unacceptable [11:30] great link denisc, thanks for dealling with a noob [11:30] I need some help. I have ubuntu 12.4 installed but it will no longer boot. I've tried reinstalling twice now. [11:31] Anyone knows how to make unity bar to show up only on system key>? [11:31] if the warning about language was for me, sorry and no more from me. sorry [11:31] knacker: no problem, thank you [11:31] dr_willis: thanks [11:32] so that was directed at me? [11:32] knacker: yes, that's why I said "knacker, please top with the language please" [11:32] not trying to be difficult, just wondering for future reference [11:32] oh, ... I see now [11:32] knacker: 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 described [11:33] knacker: normally if someone says your name, it's directed at the person who's name is referenced [11:33] there should be no need to touch the interfaces file, as the network cards are managed by network-manager === glebihan_ is now known as glebihan [11:34] ikonia: I think knacker has accidentally removed the network-manager package though... [11:34] i 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, promise [11:34] then re-installing it is the solution [11:34] not messing with the interface file [11:34] for everyone interested in just talking about topics unrelated to ubuntu, please move to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:34] yup [11:35] videl_: no-one is talking about non-ubuntu topics [11:35] blaizco: I have tried to reinstall and it will not fix the problem. I get an error message and a grub recovery command promt [11:36] ikonia: 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] ifconfig or "ip" will set an ip address [11:36] again, there is no neet to mess with the interfaces file [11:36] and I am very thankful for the help denisc [11:37] knacker: no worries - best to follow the more experienced advice of ikonia here! [11:37] hi, [11:37] yes you are right, I accidentally removed the network manager when I removed a VPN package that I was not using. [11:38] denisc: where you are going is fine, just keep in mind that putting entries in the interface file, can cause problems when network manager is restored [11:38] so just doing a simple ifconfig and route add to get the interface up and restore network manager maybe easier (or not) [11:38] or a dhclient eth0 to get a dhcp address [11:39] if 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 loopback [11:39] my other interfaces are gone [11:40] knacker: sudo ifconfig -a do you only see "lo" [11:40] i was trying to install bumblebee on my ubuntu 12.04 on the last part i got an error "Err http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/ precise/main libllvm3.1 amd64 3.1-1~precise1 Connection failed" [11:40] Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu/pool/main/l/llvm-3.1/libllvm3.1_3.1-1~precise1_amd64.deb Connection failed [11:40] vrnithin: ok, so that package is not there [11:40] vrnithin: you can check that by checking the link in a browser [11:41] ikonia, i downloaded that package by browser [11:41] oops, as root I can see them all now. let me play around or do you have a better suggestion. thank you for the help [11:41] vrnithin: ........why ? [11:41] how can i use that .deb file with other fetched files to install bumblebee [11:42] vrnithin: it's not something i'd recommend doing [11:42] vrnithin: did you get the file from the same URL that's failing ? [11:42] is it possible to change the name of volume group [11:42] ikonia, yup [11:42] and not to break os [11:43] vrnithin: ok, so if you do a "sudo apt-get update" does that repo sill error ? [11:43] ikonia, but when i tried after apt-get update.. still it showing same error [11:44] ikonia, only that package is remaining others out of 122 mb fetched [11:44] vrnithin: sorry, when you do "sudo apt-get update" does that repo still error as part of that command [11:44] ikonia, nope its updating fine [11:44] showing all my interface when running ifconfig as root but giving me error msg when I tried to bring wlan0 up [11:45] vrnithin: ok, so the repo is available, we need to look at why that package is unavailable to you [11:45] "not possible due to RF-kill" is what came up when I ran ifconfig wlan0 up [11:45] knacker: I'd stick with eth0 for the moment - wlan0 is your wireless interface - at least try ethernet first === qos|away is now known as qos [11:47] lol, ok heading down stairs to ethernet.... any linux gurus need an apartment or room? trade for tech support:) [11:47] ikonia, will it work if i do this again "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates" ? [11:47] Hi [11:48] vrnithin: you should have it already added if you're trying to install it [11:49] ikonia, yup i already added [11:49] so re-adding it does seem a good move [11:49] ikonia, can i add this file manually to other fetched files ? [11:50] new 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] vrnithin: you can using dpkg, but it's not something I'd recommend, you have a problem and I'd suggest resolving it [11:50] !webcam | Cosaplopa [11:50] Cosaplopa: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [11:50] can anyone tell me why my webserver occasionally gives me Error 500permission denied errors on pages that are set 755 rw-r-r [11:50] thanks [11:50] after i reload a few times it works [11:50] ikonia, so what to do ? [11:50] it only happens occasionally which makes it all the more frustrating === ericab is now known as ericab_away [11:52] was able to bring eth0 up but no connectivity? other suggestions. thanks again all [11:52] vrnithin: a good question I'm concerned that this file is erroring, yet the file is there [11:52] knacker: how did you bring it up [11:52] vrnithin: the package manager is core to your system, hence why I'd suggest fixing it before trying to install other things [11:53] ifconfig eth0 up... as root [11:53] ikonia, how to fix it ? [11:53] knacker: that won't do anything [11:53] knacker: you need it to have an ip address [11:53] i guessed that [11:53] knacker: is this network a dhcp network ? [11:54] vrnithin: a good question, [11:54] yes, it is dhcp === basedgnu45345 is now known as basedgnu [11:54] i am on it using an OLD laptop now [11:54] knacker: so "sudo dhclient eth0" should hopefully get an ip address for your card [11:54] Hello friends i lok for users off glade [11:54] look [11:55] ikonia, is there any way to reset it and start again ? [11:56] vrnithin: you could re-move the PPA and re-add it, however I don't see how that would resolve a connection being dropped [11:56] ikonia, is there any way to copy that manually to other files fetched ?? [11:57] ikonia: just ran it, got no response or prompt for password, ran it again and got ...:file exists [11:57] vrnithin: I've told you two times now "yes" use dpkg to install it, however I would strongly recommend against it [11:57] Hey guys, when I turn on my computer, I can't find the login screen. All I see is a black screen and a mouse pointer. My computer is running Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Any suggestions?

I have yet to resolve it myself. [11:59] yes [11:59] knacker: ok, so you should be on the network now (hopefully) [12:01] knacker: 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] kaar, What I have to do right now? Should I reinstall Ubuntu? [12:01] ikonia: don't know if I am 100% but I just pinged google and got good reply [12:02] knacker: that's a good sign - go for the "sudo apt-get install network-manager" step now [12:02] knacker: sounds good [12:02] TVQ, Does it happen to you even if you reboot the computor? [12:02] kaar, yes :( === zahunlin is now known as dufa [12:03] Ikonia: ok, will do that now... watching you and you deserve some serious Karma points. in a year of using Linux exclusively you're only the second person to help me [12:03] knacker: don't give it a second thought, just glad you're working [12:03] TVQ, For me it happens only if i close the lid on my laptop with two many applications running and it boots up from suspended mode. [12:05] :) think you two got me back in business!! still no applet on panel but just installed NW-mng w/o problem! [12:05] knacker: gnome-network-manager [12:05] kaar, I tried to reboot my computer so many time, I also restarted the GDM. But it still stuck with this error. [12:05] TVQ, Maybe try to login to tty1 and clean your desktop configuration. [12:05] sorry denisc...third person;) [12:06] kaar, Can you show me how to clean the configuration? [12:06] knacker: Good one - the other package I have is "network-manager-gnome" so that should get you going :) [12:06] ikonia: do you mean also or I should have installed that. [12:06] knacker: you should install that as denisc just highlighted [12:07] TVQ, gnome or Unity= [12:07] ok, i see now, you two are two fast and I'm on two computers right ow but I am much happier than earlier [12:07] kaar, Gnome! [12:08] "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" will remove any gnome configuration [12:08] kaar, Let's me see. Thank you! [12:11] Hi all [12:12] kaar, still stuck in this trouble. Thank you anyway. [12:12] denisc & ikonia: just restarted my machine and I see that little icon I missed so much...wireless is back!! thanks a million. [12:12] knacker: welcome [12:13] knacker: excellent [12:14] TVQ, guess you have tried "service gdm restart" [12:14] yes it is, actually running better than before I messed things up. hope I can repay the favor to someone in the future... and sorry bout the language. [12:15] knacker: don't worry [12:15] Hi [12:15] kaar, I tried to restart gdm using this command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart". But It failed! [12:15] I'm not:) just grateful [12:16] TVQ: sudo service gdm restart === richard is now known as Guest5551 [12:17] TVQ: but if i am correct no ubuntu version (which is still supported) is using gdm. its using lightdm instead [12:17] ciao [12:17] !list [12:17] Mary2012: No warez here!

[12:25] see == set [12:26] * ahhughes is tired [12:26] hello all [12:27] maybe 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? [12:29] this is what im facing...

[12:49] DJones already gave you the answer to how to start in text mode [12:50] anyone combining video cards for larger desktop in kubuntu [12:50] right, but I want to fix that permanently pls. [12:50] thx so far ppl. information will be usefull to me. have to get away from pc now, will be back later ^^ [12:50] bye [12:50] I have no scroll. can you pls tell me again? [12:51] oh, I do have scrolling. nm. [12:52] when I press shift that will bring me to grub? then I append "text" to what exactly? I have no web browser to get further details. [12:53] thufir_: where it says something like " linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-35-generic root=UUID=60136647-e73d-4cf9-99ed-eafc4976776a ro quiet splash" add "text" to the end of the line [12:54] ok. and grub will show that already, I don't have to type all that in? [12:54] first you have to hit "e" to edit the menu option, then edit the line that looks like that [12:55] I'm having problems with youtube videos - stop every few seconds [12:55] ran both chromium and Firefox - same results [12:55] thank you. I'll go reboot now. before I do so, what should I install once I get to that point so that I have a gui. it's an older computer. 11.10 works fine, but 12.10 xubuntu just gives "cannot display" [12:56] I installed from the minimal cd and selected 'xubuntu' but, apparently, it's too much for my graphics card (I assume). 11.10 works fine. [12:57] thufir_: cannot display what [12:57] the monitor says "cannot display" [12:58] it's not a message from the OS. [12:58] it's probably just trying to display in the wrong resolution then [12:58] aha, that would make sense. can you suggest a change to make before rebooting? [12:58] what graphics card? [12:59] I don't know. it's builtin. I have to quit irc to find out as I'm in rescue mode. it's an older pc. [12:59] why would you have to quit for that [13:00] because I only have one terminal. how can I get to the terminal without quitting? [13:00] try this.... [13:00] /exec -o lspci | grep VGA [13:00] I've installed the 3.6 kernel but there hasn't been an entry created in the grub boot menu. How do I create an entry for it? [13:00] Kircle: which version of ubuntu, and how did you install it [13:01] Ben64: can I do that without quitting irc? put finch into the background? [13:01] thufir_: you should be able to run that command right from irc [13:02] although I'm not sure about your client [13:02] hello [13:02] Ben64 I installed the debian files from kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and are using grub customiser [13:02] Ben64: iter's finch. it says "no such command". [13:02] thufir_: no such command as /exec? [13:03] Kircle: that doesn't sound very supported [13:03] finch, the text version of pidgin, says "no such command" [13:04] thufir_: can you switch to a different console? CTRL+ALT+F2 for example [13:04] no, I cannot switch to another console. there's only the one console in this version of rescue mode. [13:04] clear [13:05] I'll just reboot, back in a bit, hopefuly with multiple console's. anything else before I go? [13:05] thufir_: well then I guess reboot, would be easier with a normal mode [13:05] thank you for the help. [13:07] Hello everyone. How would I remove a third party software package?

[13:51] Dec 28 2012 20:09:05 chaospsychex: could you pastebin the output of "lsmod; lspci" [13:53] Ben64: http://pastie.org/5592988 <- lsmod [13:54] chaospsychex: you might want to direct your questions toward the whole channel, I've got to get to sleep now [13:54] Every now and then, my computer fails to complete the DNS lookup, going offline. However, this issue only seems to occur within Ubuntu. Any ideas? [13:54] chaospsychex: good luck [13:54] Ben64: ok [13:54] sevenforall: Check your DNS settings then. [13:54] Surkow|laptop: I think the problem is with gnome [13:55] Could someone help me with getting xrandr to detect the max supported resolution of my monitor, which is 1280x1024 ? [13:55] usr13, I tried just about any nvidia driver combination. I can't get any window manager to work, while it works with nouveau [13:55] bekks: Well, it doesn't matter wether I use the automatic settings or configure it to use Google's DNS servers, it will just fail after a while [13:56] usr13, when starting compiz in the terminal, there are no errors either. It seems to work fine. [13:56] Surkow|laptop: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log #Let's have a look [13:56] sevenforall: "it will fail" means what exactly? Are the settings unset, do they disappear from /etc/resolv.conf - or what happens? [13:57] Surkow|laptop: You say that you've tried "just about any nvidia driver combination". There is only one that will work. [13:57] bekks: I have no idea what exactly happens. It simply will lose the DNS, everything remains configured. Chrome will give the feedback that the look-up failed, Pidgin will just lose all the accounts except for GTalk (that apparently uses the DNS only once, or something) [13:58] It fails to make any new connections because of it [13:58] sevenforall: Then please check your settings in /etc/resolv.conf and in the NetworkManager. [13:59] usr13, http://pastebin.com/YDKNyGrS [14:00] hi. woe is me. I cannot seem to run even lightdm(?), everything seems to result in the monitor saying that cannot display this video mode. However, ubuntu 11.10 works fine. just 12.10 gives this error. [14:00] can someone help me get xrandr to correctly detect my monitor's EDID data ? [14:00] usr13, ubuntu offers nvidia current, current updates, experimental and nouveau [14:01] usr13: I just got that the monitor couldn't display that video mode, had to reboot. [14:01] I tried them all except for the experimental version. [14:01] . [14:01] ShapeShifter499: This is a laptop? Right? What is the make and model? [14:03] thufir_: Did you boot normal or text mode? [14:03] why, when I re-installed 11.10 earlier this evening, did the GUI work fine? but, then I re-re-installed 12.10 and cannot get any form of x windows. [14:04] usr13: I was in text mode and ran ?lightdm? with sudo, and got "cannot display this video mode" [14:04] usr13: rebooted to text mode again. [14:04] anyone know if ubuntu supports the nvidia gtx 680m video cards without any problems? [14:04] thufir_: Boot normal mode and go to tty6 Ctrl-Alt-F6 [14:04] !hcl | krz [14:04] krz: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:05] usr13: when do I press ctrl-alt-F6? [14:05] can someone help me add a --newmode to xrandr ? [14:05] chaospsychex, check your package manager to be sure xserver-xorg-video-intel driver is installed [14:05] BluesKaj: ok [14:05] Surkow|laptop: It says "Display (Samsung SyncMaster (DFP-0)) does not support NVIDIA" [14:05] LOL. usr13 is busy tonight :) [14:06] where is user14, I say. [14:06] Surkow|laptop: Looks like you will need to use the open-source driver. Again, what is your hardware? [14:07] thufir_: After it boots up. [14:07] bekks: a bit outdates [14:07] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia [14:08] usr13, 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|laptop: Oh. Well, why not? [14:08] after removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling the kernel headers the nvidia drivers were able to compile a kernel module [14:09] prior to this, they were not able to do that [14:09] krz: Then you have to look up the version of the nvidia drivers you are going to use on packages.ubuntu.com and take a look at the official readme of nvidia for that particular version to see wether it supports your card or not. [14:09] Surkow|laptop: very good. [14:09] bekks: that just blew me away [14:09] im lost [14:10] usr13, unity (with compositing) works without glitches and is fast. Hardware acceleration with VDPAU works as well. The issue remains that gnome fallback session doesn't want to load compiz. Perhaps I should try metacity. [14:11] Surkow|laptop: Yea, sounds like it is a problem with ghome or compiz. [14:11] bekks: couldn't you have just said to google it: https://www.google.com/search?q=nvidia%20680m%20ubuntu === Justasic is now known as Guest [14:11] sadly enough I encountered nvidia driver issues on all computers I have. Ubuntu 12.10 seems to be missing kernel header sources. This means anyone with an nvidia card cannot use the proprietary drivers [14:11] krz: Saying to just google is pretty unhelpful, pointing to the places where to get which information is much more helpful. [14:11] Surkow|laptop yeah, Linus already gave nvidia 'the finger' for that [14:11] at every kernel upgrade I will have to manually install new kernel headers [14:11] sigh [14:12] i installed the xorg-xserver-video-intel and still no success. 1280x1024 is not showing up [14:12] chaospsychex, did you reboot ? [14:12] http://askubuntu.com/questions/147576/cant-install-gtx-680-drivers-on-12-04 seems useful [14:12] Surkow|laptop: Yep looks like you are right: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10 [14:12] BluesKaj: yes [14:12] Surkow|laptop: Which is not true for me. Having two computers with nvidia, I literally NEVER experienced any problems until now. [14:14] chaospsychex, you could try the xswat ppa driver , scroll halfway to find the instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/200995/is-it-possible-to-update-my-graphic-card-drivers [14:15] chaospsychex: Are you the one I was talking to earlier? (thufir_) [14:15] usr13: when I rebooted, as before, I get a brief view of "xubuntu" then it flashes between that and "cannot display this video mode". [14:15] usr13: i don't think so [14:16] chaospsychex: Ok yea. [14:16] * thufir_ is patient, as usr13 seems the only guru available. no worries. [14:16] !nomodeset |thufir [14:16] thufir: 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 [14:17] thufir_: I don't know if that's it or not, just guessing here.... [14:17] usr13: I'll check out the man page, easier to read. [14:17] bekks, I never experienced issues before 12.10. I manage computers for my family and suddenly only nouveau worked. It seems like a packaging issue in ubuntu. [14:17] thufir_: service lightdm status #what does that say? [14:17] usr13: good to know. thanks for the disclusure. [14:18] thufir_: service lightdm status #Tell us what does that says. [14:19] usr13: lightdm stop/waiting. last time it did the same as graphical boot. [14:19] thufir_: Did you boot to text mode again? [14:19] usr13: yes, as that's my only option at the moment. [14:20] I can't find a man page about nomodeset [14:20] thufir_: Why didn't you do as I asked? [14:20] thufir_: There is no manpage for nomodeset [14:20] What's the latest release of Ubuntu like? I've been an on-again-off-again user. [14:20] usr13: I tried the graphical boot, but it just flasheed between "xubuntu" and "cannot display...". pardon? [14:20] thufir_: Or did you? Did you go to tty6 and read the log file? [14:21] Does anyone have any idea what the file "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/arp_ignore" does? [14:21] which log file? [14:21] thufir_: I told you to do Ctrl-Alt-F6 and look at the logfile. [14:21] Joe1: It tells you wether eth0 accepts ARP requests for IPv4 [14:21] thufir_: tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:21] hmm. when do I press ctrl-alt-f6? [14:21] Joe1: Just use cat on it. [14:21] thufir_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:22] thufir_: After it gets done booting. [14:22] Is there a way unzip a zip file with installing unzip. I meen by using gzip or any other tool [14:22] Guys? [14:22] bekks: thanks! I see a '1' in it. Does that mean that arp is disabled on eth0? [14:22] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/147563 hey, log isn't empty now! progress :) [14:23] thufir_: ONce it's all booted up, do Ctrl-Alt-F6 and login. [14:23] ok, before rebooting, would you look at the log pls? [14:23] What's ubuntu 12 like? Has anything sped up since Ubuntu 9 [last time i used linux] [14:23] Joe1: I'd have to look it up in the kernel documentation, I dont know it off hand. [14:23] lolkuro: off-topic as this is the support channel. [14:23] kaar, try unp [14:24] !ot|lolkuro [14:24] lolkuro: #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! [14:24] thufir_: That' [14:24] Oh. sorry.. sheesh, don't go batshit on me [14:24] thufir_: That's not the log file. [14:24] lolkuro, it's just a high volume channel. I frequently get warnings about using enter as punctuation. Don't take it personally ;) [14:24] usr13: oh? err. Xorg.0.log yes? [14:25] thufir_: How are you talking to us now? On another computer or....? [14:25] 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..? [14:26] bekks: cool, found it online. thanks! [14:27] thufir_: 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] Joe1: You're welcome. :) [14:27] usr13: irssi? [14:27] BluesKaj: Dident have that one installed eather. Cant install as my user im loged in to is not sudo. will have to ssh with another user and install unzip [14:27] thufir_: What irc client are you using now? [14:28] finch. it's text version of pidgin. I see, irssi is an IRC client? [14:28] thufir_: Ok, that's ok. [14:28] just use it. [14:28] 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] thufir_: use irssi with screen [14:28] thufir_: But you need to run the Xserver so we can see what is going on. [14:29] kaar: Good, yes. [14:30] Hi, ubuntu folks :> [14:30] hi :) Ronalds_M [14:31] anybody knows how to change default keyboard keys for ctrl-alt-delete, cause right not it logouts to shell [14:31] I tried keyboard shortcuts in settings [14:32] but disabling didn't work out [14:32] Ronalds_M: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and then Ctrl-Alt-Delete [14:33] Ronalds_M: why do you want to change it, i can't recall the last time i ever needed to use it [14:33] sorry, ctrl alt f4 [14:33] when I press it, it goes in shell [14:33] Ronalds_M: Then do, Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot [14:33] Ronalds_M: of course it does, thats the tty [14:34] can I disable this? [14:34] Ronalds_M: why? [14:34] Ronalds_M: What is your end goal? [14:34] Ronalds_M, that's what ctrl+alt+F4 is supposed to do..a shell/TTY [14:34] ok [14:34] Ronalds_M: Ctrl-Alt-F6 goes to tty6 Ctrl-Alt-F5 goes to tty5 etc. etc. [14:35] 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] at least I can sync my firefox settings while I'm here, which I forgot to do earlier. [14:36] thufir_: 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] *on [14:36] usr13: ok. few minutes while I futz with firefox pls. thanks for help. [14:37] thufir_: Ok [14:37] how to disable showing mounted hard drives [14:37] on 12.04 I could do that with ubuntu tweak [14:37] maybe in compiz? [14:37] hi i am running ubuntu 10.10, should i upgrade it to 12.04 or clean install to 12.04? [14:37] Ronalds_M: On the desktop? [14:37] dr_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] on unity sidebar [14:37] kelvinella: clean install [14:37] and can i upgrade it thru the 12.04 iso usb stick? [14:38] kelvinella: clean install will be faster [14:38] kelvinella: You have to upgrade to 11.04 then to 11.10 and then to 12.04 [14:38] kelvinella: A direct update is not possible. [14:38] usr13: ok, rebooting [14:38] kelvinella, i usally do a clean install [14:38] ok [14:38] :) [14:38] kelvinella: no, there is no direct upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04 you need to do every single upgrade inbetween [14:38] kelvinella: 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/ files [14:38] Hello [14:38] so i have to reinstall virtualbox, etc..... :( [14:39] kelvinella fresh install is faster, cleaner and easier, don't forget to backup first, if you don't have a separate /home partition [14:39] kelvinella: next time you want to not_upgrade for a long time better start with a LTS version [14:39] k1l_, thats what i do, lts [14:39] kelvinella: Yea, when you install 12.04, you will be on LTS. [14:39] upgrade every 5 yrs [14:39] i didnt update so long coz the unity [14:40] i thought i wait for it to mature then i can upgrade but i was wrong [14:40] kelvinella: you can use other desktop environments [14:40] kelvinella workaround: create a manual list of the programs you want to install, then, after upgrade, type sudo apt-get install [that list] [14:41] kelvinella: You CAN upgrade but you have to do it incrementally [14:42] kelvinella: But it is much easier to cut to the chase and just install 12.04. [14:42] kelvinella: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [14:43] hi guys ... digital piano(keyboard) software... any advice please? [14:43] usb piano [14:43] I don't understand that webapps integration thingy [14:43] it's just bookmark shortcuts in panel? [14:44] 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. [14:45] thufir_: Did you try F5 or F4? [14:45] Ronalds_M if at first, you don't understand it, skip it and get used to other parts of the system [14:47] Quick 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] usr13: I tried them all [14:47] thufir_: Let me ask you this; At what point does the display quit working, (during the boot process -- what does it say). [14:48] guys im trying to shrink one of the partitions of my hdd but it gives me error [14:48] I unmounted it [14:48] the partition [14:49] 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] i also switched the swap partition [14:50] can someone estimate how long an AMD Athlon II CPU can run at 127 deg C (260 deg F) before it would affect desktop programs? [14:51] does anybody have any idea or is there somewhere else that i should be asking these kinda questions? [14:51] !details | elx [14:51] elx: 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] Sven_vB, or before the system self-immolates [14:51] usr13: make sense? [14:52] Sven_vB, 127C is very hot for that CPU, i think your system will fry if left at that level. [14:52] ^^ [14:52] i 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] usr13: I can give output for **working** x settings from the **good** 12.04 install. will that help? [14:52] elx, what app /dev/system are you using to edit your partitions? [14:52] Sven_vB, and it'll fry or shut itself off long before your graphical applications start to not work., [14:52] ubottu, 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 data [14:52] elx: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:52] i want to shrink the second partition so i can make a new partition and install windows 8 on it [14:53] elx 11.10 is too old, it's called !eol [14:53] BluesKaj, I m using Gparted [14:53] elx 11.10 is no longer in use or supported [14:53] TheLordOfTime, 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] TheLordOfTime, thatr [14:53] TheLordOfTime, that's why i'm asking for an estimate time ;) [14:54] !gparted | elx [14:54] Sven_vB, i'd set a processing speed cap then. [14:54] elx: 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.php [14:54] Sven_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] elx i think gparted can help you [14:54] ubottu, i already have it installed and im using it to shrink one of the partitions [14:54] elx: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:55] Sven_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] but it fails when i shrink the partition [14:55] 127C isn't normal for that CPU, unless you're driving the graphics to insanity. [14:55] elx ubottu is a (ro)bot [14:55] s/graphics/processor/ [14:55] elx , i think the gparted live cd would be a better method [14:56] MonkeyDust, yes just realized lol... [14:56] Sven_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] usr13, mutter --replace gave me my window manager controls back [14:56] but compiz still refuses to work in gnome fallback session [14:57] elx, i agree with BluesKaj, try gparted live cd - > http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [14:57] Guys Gpart generate a .html for "Extra" details regarding the failure [14:57] would you like to have a look at it? [14:57] Surkow|laptop fallback will no longer be in the next release, better get used to something else [14:58] TheLordOfTime, 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] so in that regard, thank you. :) [14:58] Sven_vB, if its instantly jumping, that would suggest something's putting your processor at max, or the temperature sensor is broken. [15:00] TheLordOfTime, i suspect a bug in acpi, since the load shown in htop or uptime is low all the time. [15:00] usr13: ? [15:02] it was just if someone said "well it can work for a few weeks but reduces overall lifespan", then i had hurried verfifying hardware facts [15:04] porra [15:07] hi, any idea what am i missing here: http://paste.kde.org/633152/ ?

[15:30] BluesKaj: besides the errors which i will try to recreate now, the files are gone, but the disk capacity is reduced [15:30] how do i get /etc/init/ttyS0.conf to clear my terminal before running getty? [15:31] exec clear or exec clear_console does not work [15:31] hi [15:32] I managed to somehow make my appearance settings disappear [15:32] so now I do not have the ability to change my appearance settings [15:32] i also tried exec clear_console > /dev/ttyS0. this works from a regular root shell but not /etc/init/ttyS0.conf [15:32] I have no idea how it happened [15:32] I was having issues with ntfs-3g driver not allowing write access [15:33] did a bunch of reinstalling of drivers and whatnot [15:33] and bam [15:33] no more appearance settings [15:34] hi [15:34] My ubuntu always starts with headphone volume maximized and having troubles(orange triangle) with current updates. Ubuntu lucid on a dell old laptop [15:34] hello everyone [15:35] Vivekananda, hello [15:35] hey there [15:35] b33nj [15:35] hey [15:35] how do you change the monitor resolution for 12.10? [15:36] thufir_ [15:36] hit the super key (winkey) [15:36] thufir_, settings > display settings [15:36] yeah, that [15:36] Hello, i have a Problem with Kubuntu. Can i ask in german too? My english is very bad. [15:36] b33nj: pardon, I meant when you don't have a GUI === iDM is now known as iDMBusy [15:36] icore3, klar [15:36] hi [15:36] Ok,super. [15:36] what I mean is, how do you change the monitor resolution, assuming that's causing the seg fault, which prevents the gui from loading? [15:36] BluesKaj: i tried to copy files to a flash drive to see if i could recreate the errors, the copy quickly completed but the progress is still being shown for more than ten minutes only then finishes [15:37] icore3, maybe try #ubuntu-de [15:37] thufir_, monitor resolution of terminal? [15:37] rumpe1, thank you [15:37] terminal works fine, gui gives seg fault. presumably it's monitor resolution or other problem. [15:38] thufir_, then i do not know, have you googled it? [15:38] other configure I should say. 12.04 on the same hardware works fine, diff hd. but 12.10 gives seg fault. [15:39] b33nj: thanks. [15:39] rincewind, yes ,copying does take a while ...if the notifier is still open then the copy process is in progress [15:39] thufir_, have you googled it? [15:39] b33nj: thank you. [15:40] BluesKaj: it was small files and it was sitting at 100% for about 6 minutes [15:40] thufir_, for what? [15:40] Anyone? [15:41] b33nj: I don't know that it's a resolution problem. I have no idea, I had asked why the segmentation fault, but got no response. I ask how to set the resolution and...never mind. [15:42] Hi [15:42] I have a question [15:42] (Sorry for my bad english) [15:42] BluesKaj : pleas tell me the sequences to solve it [15:43] dawkirst: do "sudo lshw -C network" on the command line and see what wifi chipset you have [15:43] b33nj: could this be caused by resolution? seg fault for http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/264235. [15:43] today i wanted to try ubuntu [15:43] medo, just follow the instructions in the page [15:43] rincewind, ok will do that shortly (machine is quickly restarting).

[15:45] Hello. I can't get my DVD driver to work. It's not being listed on "wodim --devices", "lshw" or "dmesg". It's as if the drivers were removed from the kernel. Would that be possible? I'm running 12.04 (tried 3.2 and 2.6 kernel) [15:45] my appearance settings disappeared after fixing an ntfs-3g issue [15:45] it is easy? im a noob in linux :D [15:45] cler: sudo lshw -C network -- then look at wifi chipset [15:45] The_Sleeples_One: can you elaborate on what is meant by "did a bunch of reinstalling of drivers and whatnot"? what did you actually do? [15:46] nothing...i dont know what i can do [15:46] okay, so here's my problem du jour. for whatever reason, on every boot I have to $sudo modprobe b43 to get wifi. how do I make it do this on boot? it's only blacklisted in one file, and commenting the line there doesn't change anything. [15:46] cler: what was the ouput? [15:46] i try it once more [15:46] no output [15:46] better i try it once more [15:47] which server would be needed? [15:47] i search quickly the vendorid..... [15:48] which server would be needed? server......sorry i mean driver [15:48] anyone on that answer ? [15:48] how do I trace where the Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting error came from? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/264235 [15:48] PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_E021105B&REV_01 [15:48] this is the vendor [15:48] cler, if the module/driver loads properly there will be no output from the modprobe command [15:49] cler: if there is no output from "sudo lshw -C network", then you do not have wifi [15:49] sporkboy === ceco_ is now known as vyrgozunqk [15:49] "sudo lshw -C network" should i put this into the terminal? [15:50] er sorry cler I meant sporkboy [15:50] rincewind, yes, lshw outputs a RT2500 card (it appears as if cler has the same problem as me). Would you like to see the output on a gist? [15:50] wait i come later [15:51] i try it once more and i copy the output [15:51] Hi people [15:51] Fuckyouman [15:51] oioi2: Do you have any support question? [15:52] rincewind, it doesn't pick up any networks though, so I suspect it might be a driver issue. How can I troubleshoot? [15:52] i come later [15:52] i try it again [15:52] bye [15:52] No [15:52] Tks [15:52] !coc | oioi2 [15:52] oioi2: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere | http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct | For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct | Watch http://static.screencasts.ubuntu.com/videos/2010/12/22/004-SigningCoC.ogv [15:53] thanks for help [15:53] rincewind, I definitely have wifi, since I'm connected to the internet without a cable. I just want to not have to modprobe it every time I boot up. [15:54] anyone? [15:54] I feel ignored :( [15:54] The_Sleeples_One: did you see my question above? [15:55] now I did [15:55] uhm [15:55] so I installed mtpfs in an attempt to manage files on my Nexus 7 [15:55] didn't work [15:55] so I did "sudo uninstall fuse mtpfs" [15:55] it uninstalled fuse [15:55] so I ran "sudo install fuse" [15:56] The_Sleeples_One: it was not a good idea to remove fuse [15:56] err, "sudo remove* fuse mtpfs" my bad [15:56] yeah [15:56] I have since realized that === sas_ is now known as sasvirco [15:56] I removed and reinstalled ntfs-3g when my write access stopped working [15:56] sporkboy, I suggst you remove the blacklisted entry rather tahn comment it [15:56] than [15:56] i'm trying to debug a HTTP request. i *thought* i matched it according to firebug; but when i send it to the server; it seems different. is there a way to send both requests to a local server so i can see where my problem is? so i can see the raw request? [15:57] then installed and ran the ntfs configuration tool thing from the software center [15:57] it fixed the issue for me [15:57] but now my appearance settings have disappeared [15:57] rincewind, sorry to be bugging you like this, but you seem to have been the only one that replied. Have you got any other advice for me? [15:57] how do I know whether this xorg error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting is caused by driver, config or other cause? http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/264235 [15:59] i'm trying to get the nvidia-96 driver to download/install and I keep getting a dialog box indicating that there are package dpendencies that are unresolved/uninstallable [15:59] so the issue is now that my appearance settings are gone [15:59] anyone there who could answer me ? about the volume always max for headphone on reboot? [15:59] when I boot up, it says "system error" [15:59] I presume it has something to do with it [16:00] rmoore: maybe bad idea, but I believe clobber might fix that. or make it worse. [16:00] Vivekanada [16:00] http://askubuntu.com/questions/172488/volume-control-stopped-working-always-max-voume [16:00] I can reboot my machine, copy the error, and then hop back on here if you think that would help [16:02] hej [16:03] can someone tell me how to execute a .run file? [16:03] rmoore: can you do 'file '? on the file (replacing with the actual .run file's name) [16:05] eh? [16:05] should I restart and copy the "system error" that pops up? [16:05] so i really need some help [16:05] also, my ntfs partitions are automatically mounting on boot [16:05] thefoxrat start with a question [16:06] I think its really wierd that ppl start a sentence with 'so' [16:06] ok, 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 help [16:06] compdoc, why? [16:07] sounds odd. Ppl on tv and radio and here online all do it [16:07] thefoxrat wubi is a testing enverinment, better install ubuntu on its own partition, next to windows [16:07] compdoc, so what ? :) [16:07] compdoc, why do you watch tv? that is a waste of time [16:08] Ok, 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 all [16:09] thefoxrat: Then it is an issue for #hardware or ##windows more likely. [16:10] bekks, what #windows on a linux channel is for? [16:10] Hello. 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? [16:11] b33nj: 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] I guess I just figured that because before Ubuntu install my pc was fine and after, it is not, that it was an ubuntu problem [16:11] can anyone tell me when will ubuntu have in any of its repo apache version 2.4 [16:11] ? [16:11] I can't find it even in raring... [16:11] okay [16:12] !latest | txomon [16:12] txomon: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

[16:46] Blop123: Then check using ls -lha wether the file still exists. [16:46] How I can check with Ubuntu, what service locks specified TCP port? [16:46] yes spaces, hence when deleting i use A\ B\ ... [16:46] it still exists but not in that folder\ [16:46] souliaq: sudo lsof -i or sudo netstat -tulpen [16:47] Blop123: Err...

[16:50] finegansworld: Not really, but it obviously isn't anything under /etc because it doesn't run as root... [16:51] theadmin: what i meant is that the original file has been moved to another folder, now i am trying to delete a "relic" file that stayed there for some reason [16:52] Blop123: Hm... Well. Maybe it's not a file but a link? Try "unlink something" [16:52] Blop123: (where 'something' is the filename) [16:52] using bekks command i found out that it is still there (also rw), but can t be read [16:52] it s not a link, i checked by deleting the original file [16:53] all my excuses [16:53] according to the size and properties it looks like the original but unaccessible [16:53] Yeah, maybe that's why the settings don't stay when I re-boot. That's the main thing, I want my resolution to stay the same when I reboot my machine. [16:54] Blop123: Ah what the hell. echo a > something (to overwrite the file), then delete what that creates.

[17:36] Alex12: is that the name of something? you could increase performance using the flash-aid addon or playing it hardware aceelerated [17:36] sda1986: dd is an operation on disks, i doubt the processor plays a big role on it [17:36] old computer [17:37] Alex12: try with flash-aid addon [17:37] bad video card is bad GPU aceleration [17:37] me instsll flash-aid? [17:37] yes [17:37] Muphrid, Yea, but I can see I have a core with 100%, I think move data between /dev/urandom to an MD (raid software) could use a bit of processor [17:39] flash code is open?

[17:53] bazhang: that issue [17:53] Alex12: not sure in chromium, thought it was just clicking install [17:54] skai-falkorr, does additional drivers offer anything for that? there was an xorg-edgers some time ago specifically for intel gpu that did not have support that way, but as its a PPA its at your own risk entirely [17:54] Muph its for all sites will work?

If the package includes UNIX manual pages, they must be located in /opt//share/man or under the /opt/ hierarchy, and the same substructure as /usr/share/man must be used.

[18:04] so first i did was disbable sec boot, now in the usermanual it says that for legacy win 32 bit versions i should change my system to bios / legacy mode...

[18:05] b33nj: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php [18:05] SunMoonStar: I believe that in /usr/bin you can only hold a binary executable whereas in opt you can hold a folder [18:06] SunMoonStar, i have already read half that book [18:06] b33nj: not good enough? I'm halfway as well [18:06] ciao [18:06] SunMoonStar, i do not understand some moments [18:06] Muphrid: so it is basically saying that it is strongly suggested to not put non executable stuff in bin?

First: When I start a program in WINE or Steam it forces it onto my laptop's monitor instead of the external I want (and have always been able to use before) this is a recent event and I haven't changed anything of note to precipitate the change in behavior. Second: my wireless headset has stopped working. It shows up in the sound panel and [18:19] hi! join tf2 game 176.57.135.221 (free to play) [18:19] Emanon: is sound working with other devices?

[18:27] how do I get the reason for the last system restart ? [18:27] I would like to send a mail from my server using Python [18:28] can someone please tell me how to reclaim the space i created when deleting the windows partition?? i ran the live secure disk with osreover and when i try to expand my ubuntu partition with gparted it will not allow me to go larger but i have 660gb available of unused disk space [18:28] D_Russ: is the swap partition mounted? [18:28] i dont know [18:28] how do i unmount it if it is? [18:29] some live system mount a swap when they find one on the harddisk. that could block partitions to be changed. [18:29] ohh i c [18:29] know of a work around [18:30] k1l_: do you know how i can unmount it if that is my problem? [18:31] D_Russ: rightclick on that partition and unmount it [18:31] option is not there. [18:31] D_Russ, you are using the live cd or gparted live cd , right? [18:32] secured live cd with osremover [18:32] D_Russ, well with a gparted live cd or ubuntu live cd its no issue [18:32] ok i will try a gparted live cd [18:32] thanks [18:33] D_Russ: maybe its a cd specific thing. better ask their support then [18:33] distrowatch.com has the link [18:33] ok cool [18:33] thanks guys [18:34] every time I try to burn a DVD using either Brasero or xfburn, the burn fails right at the end.

[18:35] Hi i installed xampp(yes im on a windoes os, but the problem can be solved crossplatformed) ann mysql workbench and im trying to connect to my mysql db from my pc to the pc on my network that has the mysql server. [18:35] Im using a Dynamic DNS program to manage the dynamic ip issue from my provider. The problem is that i cant connect to the mysql db trough workbench. [18:35] Im trying: http://myname.no-ip.org/phpmyadmin but its failing to connect.... any ideas? === max is now known as Guest13151 [18:35] anyone know how to fix this that happens when I do apt-get install -f http://www.gratisimage.dk/graphic/images/2012/December/29/CABA_50DF371C.jpg [18:35] Shogoot: Why dont you just use your local IP when being in your local LAN? [18:36] bekks, because i will be developing also from outside my local network. In my spare time on work for example :) [18:36] Shogoot: Then you have to try to connect from outside your LAN. You cant test it from inside. [18:37] Mech0z: did you install anything from a ppa? [18:37] even if im using the myname.no-ip org ? wont that loop back to my machien anyways? [18:37] does anybody if there is a program that shows date/time(and milliseconds)? [18:37] Muphrid I dont remember [18:37] freshstart: date? [18:38] Mech0z: you have a version higher than the one in repository, did you apt-get update before? [18:39] freshstart: date can actually dispay nanoseconds. so that is what you are looking for, imho [18:39] k1l_: i ll give you an example wait [18:40] k1l_: 20:11:20:16:22:16:34 [18:40] Muphrid did an apt-get update earlier today, so that should be fine? does this make more sense http://www.gratisimage.dk/graphic/images/2012/December/29/03C7_50DF38EB.jpg [18:40] I don't want to start reporting stuff, but I'm really wondering how this works. So for example I can buy a https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/power-off/ utility, which costs like 3 bucks and I could write it in like 10 minutes. It is apparently in the ubuntu software center and is under the gnu gpl license. Shouldn't I be allowed to see the code. Furthermore why are we promoting the whole idea of payin [18:40] g for these applications without being able to look at the source? I could then just as well put windows on my computer... [18:40] bekks, well your right. im using now the internal ip and it works like a charm. I will have to test from outside the no-ip.org ip anotehr day :) thanks [18:41] Mech0z: yes, perhaps you could purge these depends packages if theyre not a depend for something else [18:41] or reinstall [18:42] Mech0z: install or open Synaptic, then check the version of these packages there [18:43] Guys what is the most user friendly chkdsk equivalent on ubuntu? [18:43] Mech0z: you have some ppa which have some python packages? [18:44] sabnzbdplus must run on python I recon? [18:44] same with 2 addons [18:44] elx: the equivalent is fsck and is not needed in desktop use [18:44] it runs at boot time [18:44] can i use it from terminal? [18:45] elx: I dont know but you dont need to, it runs on every boot [18:45] elx: dont run it on mounted partitions [18:46] I have been reading regarding my partition error that gparted is giving me and people advice to use chkdsk afew times [18:46] exit [18:46] when trying to shrink my secondary partition... === adellam_ is now known as adellam [18:46] elx have you used gparted from a live cd or usb? [18:46] Mech0z: what is the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list ? [18:47] So no joy for my audio and video problems? [18:47] Muphrid one moment, I am trying to reboot [18:48] i'm using directly from ubuntu, but thought i would do a checkup of the partition and if still get errors then create a live cd [18:48] Emanon: when did the headphone stop working? [18:48] Sometime when I was sleeping last night. [18:48] out of nowhere? [18:48] elx no, use a live cd or usb to shrink partitions [18:48] Muphrid It was working immediately before I went to sleep and when I woke up it was not working. [18:49] MonkeyDust, Ok thanks! [18:49] Muphrid http://pastebin.com/avqeEWru [18:49] Mech0z: you are using a PPA from jcfp. so better ask him how his PPA ruins your package managment [18:49] Emanon: that is weird, I assume changing ports, rebooting or replugging didnt work right [18:49] So sometime between 01:00 and 09:00 today. [18:50] k1l_ can that be changed? [18:50] hello [18:50] :> [18:50] Mech0z: you can use ppa-purge for removing the ppa and the ppa-packages [18:51] Muphrid: But it's being detected it just refuses to stay selected.

[18:55] !brainstorm [18:55] Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [18:55] it could be nice, if new programms would show up in top, not where you need to search them [18:55] Mech0z: yes. that removes the ppa packages aswell [18:55] Hi there.

[18:58] CrazyGangster, try handbrake to convert it [18:58] topgear, do you want to edit things? [18:58] is it true that virii don't effect linux? [18:59] !virus | SecretFire [18:59] Alright. [18:59] SecretFire: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [18:59] I thought so [18:59] Well, I want to monitor the diskusage of an entire harddrive, but how do I do that? /dev/sda, /sda, /hda doesn't work in Conky. [18:59] SecretFire: as long as you stay in the repository and do not run obscure shell scripts if find on random websites [19:00] TopGear: 'df'? [19:00] but you need to play an active role for it to affect you [19:00] bazhang: I will try but in that way i have to render the same video 2times, right? [19:00] the reason I ask [19:00] you dont get anything simply by browsing the web [19:00] k1l_ I cant seem to install ppa-purge due to the same issue [19:00] is because my friend had problems with windows having trojan so I formatted and installed xubuntu but they think the virus is still there [19:00] Mech0z: then temporarily remove all these packages and reinstall if possible [19:00] any other way I can remove it? [19:01] SecretFire, did you have an ubuntu support issue question? [19:01] Walex: How did you think of doing that? [19:01] how === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [19:01] either via synaptic or by apt-get purge package1 package2 package3 ... packagen [19:01] Muphrid: http://i.imgur.com/yg0E8.jpg [19:01] has anyone got openmw to run? I can't seem to find a working version of it [19:01] SecretFire, if you formatted and overwrote the partition, then installed ubuntu/xubuntu it cannot still be there [19:02] bazhang : I know that, but they don't :) [19:02] lol [19:02] SecretFire, what is openmw [19:02] open source implementation of morrowind [19:02] elder scrolls [19:02] SecretFire, lets stay on topic please to actual support [19:03] Muphrid: It detects it, even allows the in-line volume control works but flat refuses to use it as a source. [19:03] anybody runs CS 1.6 on widescrean with wine? [19:03] :D [19:04] Well, not "inline" per se but on ear. [19:07] Emanon: see if the package 'pavucontrol' is of any help [19:07] your issue is weird [19:08] Ronalds_M : your question needs to be more specific ... also note that wine has a support channel #winehq [19:09] @Tex_Nick tnx [19:11] Muphrid: Pavu displays my headset in the configuration tab but nowhere else. [19:12] Everywhere else it's just my built-in audio and my hdmi audio out. [19:13] k1l: no luck with gparted live [19:13] it still wont allow me to expand it [19:13] and there is no option for unmount on rightclick [19:14] Emanon: also check gnome-alsamixer then [19:14] otherwise I have no clue lol [19:14] can someone please tell me how to reclaim the space i created when deleting the windows partition?? i ran the live secure disk with osreover and when i try to expand my ubuntu partition with gparted it will not allow me to go larger but i have 660gb available of unused disk space [19:14] gparted live isnt working [19:14] for me anyway [19:16] gnome-alsamixer displays a "USB Mixer" but no option to select it as the input/output source. [19:18] I guess when I finish wiping my portable drive I'll reboot and hope that works. [19:19] Any ideas for forcing wine and Steam to open on the display I want it to or should I just go to #winehq and #steam (or whatever steam support is)? [19:19] you dont need wine for steam anymore === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [19:19] there is a linux version [19:19] I'm not using steam through wine. [19:19] ohh ok [19:19] I'm having similar problems on both steam AND wine [19:20] sorry cant help you with that === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [19:21] Maybe I can do something in the compiz window controll extension. [19:23] Emanon : #steamlug is probably the best channel for steam [19:23] Thanks I'll try there after I'm done futzing with Compiz. [19:24] Doesn't look like Compiz has an option to force certain applications to certain monitors at will. [19:25] hi [19:25] what is this bug http://pastebin.com/VfF032Db ? [19:26] termitor: are you using btrfs? [19:27] can someone please tell me how to reclaim the space i created when deleting the windows partition?? i ran the live secure disk with osreover and when i try to expand my ubuntu partition with gparted it will not allow me to go larger but i have 660gb available of unused disk space [19:27] termitor: it is still experimental, you shouldn't be using it in production environments [19:28] does any one know if you specially need the 64bit version of ubuntu to run on an EFI based notebook? [19:28] ThinkT510: it's btrfs,not the disk you think ? [19:29] termitor: i can't tell sorry, but i wouldn't be surprised [19:31] ichat : bios runs beneath the OS & doesn't care if the OS is 32 or 64 [19:31] Ubuntu12.04LTS... my Laptop's sound cuts out after a bit. Sound through the HDMI port is unaffected, but the internal speakers quit. Is there anything I can do to restore it? I do not want to have to reinstall Ubuntu again. [19:32] hello [19:32] hello [19:35] Muphrid: Rebooting fixed the audio issue. [19:36] Emanon: alright, probably a module unloaded [19:36] That's pretty lame of the module. [19:36] Tex_Nick: - that wasnt my exact question... my question was, can you boot the 32bit iso of a efi based system... because it requires a diferent {boot] file... from a legacy... for example other doesn include efi boot on its 32bit iso... [19:37] Wine is still acting stupid. Guess I'll go talk to them. [19:37] hi [19:38] nevermind... gonna switch to Fedora [19:38] Basilx [19:38] ichat : sorry, someone else will have to help you with that :) [19:39] hi [19:41] Tex_Nick: not a problem... - thanks for trying anyway... [19:41] ill just have to download both and try... [19:42] hello [19:42] i have a question [19:42] Gnome-Help: you better ask it then [19:42] how can i install gnome?

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".

Thats it, and it wont let me use my OS. [19:57] rust_: Why not? Does it not have a login prompt? [19:57] rust_: that's BusyBox (the emergency shell) - there should have been an error message before it threw you in there [19:58] rust_: Ah yes, that's where that comes up... Need to pay attention to the error messages. [19:58] Years: no error message. Thats it. J [19:58] rust_: Do you get the grub bootmenu?

[20:00] Jhutchins_wk: even the one that said boot said I needed to load the kernel first [20:00] rust_: sorry, it looked as if you were typing people's nicks by hand === qos is now known as qos|away [20:02] rust_: You are not giving us enough information for us to be able to help you. [20:02] rust_: What happens when you reboot your pc, and trying to boot boot Ubuntu. Please be as detailed as possible. [20:03] Jhutchins_wk: all it is is a black screen with white text, saying that "Minimal Bash Like editing is supported" then says I get commands with tab. [20:03] Thinkt510: I am typing these by hand, I dont have a tab key because I am using my phone. [20:04] rust_: ah [20:04] rust_: It doesn't just pop up with that line when you turn it on. Something happens before then. [20:05] I'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] Motoservo: How do you "copy over the .img"? [20:06] 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. [20:07] rust_: So you are using WUBI. Thats a VERY important information. [20:07] Bekks: then it takes me to the GNU GRUB screen. [20:07] rust_: And basically, something is really messed up - I never used Wubi - but it looks like something messed up a file on your windows filesystem. [20:08] bekks: sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m [20:08] Motoservo : arethe directions from here ,,, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [20:08] Tex_Nick: Those are the directions I followed. [20:08] Motoservo: Whats that "/dev/disk1" thing? [20:09] It doesn't matter what format the stick is when I start: HFS or DOS, it ends up something else. [20:09] 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] I tried of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m and of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m [20:10] rust_: chkdsk doesnt mess up files. Something happened, and that file is messed up, deleted, whatever. [20:10] Seems those were my two options. [20:11] bekks: I called and asked my father about it, he said all it did was say it deleted corrupted files. [20:11] To create a htpasswd for Digest mode what parameters should I use? [20:11] rust_: That could have been the result of a filesystem corruption - and that file got corrupted and was deleted. [20:12] I have scanner (all in one device hp 3055) connected to raspberrypi with sane working there. scanimage is working locally. Now I want to set up sane on Ubuntu to use scanner shared by raspberry. Raspberry seems to have everything ok. I can telnet it on 6566, but Ubuntu does not find scanner. dll.conf has only "net" in it, and "net.conf" has only raspberry's ip. [20:13] Bekks: I guess I have to uninstall and Reinstall ubuntu? [20:13] Any ideas what can be wrong? [20:13] rust_: I'd not use WUBI at all, but create a dualboot with a natively installed Ubuntu. === sudokode is now known as Guest31337 [20:15] Bekks: If that involves a disk, I cant do that because I am using a netbook without a disk drive. [20:15] rust_: use a usb === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [20:15] rust_: So where is that Windows installed onto? [20:15] hi [20:16] bekks: Does that "/dev/disk1" part seem off? What seems off about it: path? syntax? [20:16] Bekks: windows came preinstalled on my netbook [20:16] rust_: And it is installed onto what....? Yes, a harddisk. [20:17] Motoservo: Never seen Mac OSX device paths until now :) [20:17] !usb | rust_ [20:17] rust_: 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/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:17] bekks: Ah. [20:17] how can i remove duplicate entries in my apt sources? [20:17] bekks: he meant cd-rom drive [20:17] i guess [20:18] mike_papa: There is no windows live cd, so you must be wrong. [20:18] bekks: he meant he can't install ubuntu via cd [20:18] ThinkT510: thats exactly what I meant, [20:18] ThinkT510: He has an installed windows, he installed WUBI, and that WUBI installation is messed up. [20:18] Thats the facts, [20:19] So I am asking: where is that windows installed onto, if not on a harddisk? [20:19] goddard: either in synaptic (i think) or manually editing /etc/apt/sources.list [20:19] bekks: please re-read what rust_ has typed [20:20] anyway you don't really need cd rom drive to install ubuntu. It works same if you install it from usb. It even works pretty nice installed on usb. [20:20] ThinkT510: I've elaborated those facts with him. :) [20:20] Motoservo: the path /dev/disk1 should be just right [20:20] goddard: you have to check /etc/apt/sources.list as well as files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [20:21] rust_: use a usb to install ubuntu [20:21] Bekks: The Windows was preinstalled on my Acer Aspire One Netbook. [20:21] Hello! When I watch flash videos in firefox or chrome, at first everything is ok, but after 10 minutes the video always starts to stutter. Any ideas why and how to fix this? [20:21] rust_: And it is or was installed onto WHAT...? Onto which device? If not a harddisk? [20:21] itry: install the flash-aid ff addon [20:21] jrib: im surprised it doesn't remove duplicates automatically === Guest31337 is now known as sudokode [20:22] jrib: can't apt-get find and remove them? it detected them. [20:22] goddard: I don't know [20:22] Bekks: I dont fucking know, where do preinstalled Operating systems go when you get your computer? [20:22] rust_: On a harddisk. [20:22] rust_, Please no swearing in here [20:23] ThinkT510: How do I do that? [20:23] bekks: rust_ was trying to tell you he has no cd-drive (not no harddrive) [20:23] rust_: and if you just want to play with it, and don't care about speed that much, just install Ubuntu on at least average fast, 4 GB usb drive, and boot computer from usb. This way you will avoid messing up your windows if something goes wrong on partition changes. [20:23] IdleOne: ok. Sorry. [20:23] !usb | rust_ [20:23] itry: try using the about:flags option in Google Chrome [20:24] Muphrid: looks like this thing installs a new flash version. would prefer to do it manually so i know whats going on. [20:24] hello [20:24] There is a option that you can disable one flash plugin [20:24] mike_papa: I very much care about speed. [20:24] With a wrong version [20:24] can someone help me with a crazy problem [20:24] nino_: about:flags gives me a white page. (im using chromium) [20:24] why not the official one? [20:24] osfinder: go ahead, state the problem [20:25] can someone answer my difficult question? [20:25] rust_: Then install Ubuntu as a dualboot, it will be faster than every USB stick. [20:25] which os does he use? [20:25] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HgyStstIhw [20:25] can someone say me what he is using [20:25] rust_: then install it on hard drive. Download image, google how to "burn" it to bootable usb, and you're set. [20:25] bekks: how do [20:25] I do that? [20:25] itry do you use wubi or what? [20:26] does anyone know how to remove duplicate apt get sources with the command line? [20:26] apt-get clean of manually [20:26] nino_: what is wubi? [20:26] *or* [20:26] rust_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot -- wait a few minutes, the servers having problems currently. [20:26] Itry: that is a test version of ubuntu that runs in windows [20:26] rust_ : just be careful! You will need to change your partitions' sizes. You may loose everything from your computer if something goes wrong. Even pre-installed windows, and it's recovery option. [20:26] IN windows?! [20:26] nino_: Thats no test version. Thats a full installation. [20:27] You can test your hardware and feeling about ubuntu in Wubi [20:27] By the way, to everyone helping me, I have been using Ubuntu for months without a problem. [20:27] goddard, use nano in the termianl to edit /etc/apt/sources.list ...look for duplicate entries [20:27] Intil now that is, [20:27] nino_: just noticed, this is a debian 6 box, not ubuntu. [20:27] sorry but can some one help me..........i know its a crazy question === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [20:27] Itry: this is ubuntu [20:27] <[snake]> osfinder, what is it? [20:27] There has to be a way for apt-get to remove them [20:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HgyStstIhw [20:27] it detects them [20:27] Bekks you are right but its not better then stand alone version or duel boot [20:28] osfinder: he is in some linux distro that uses compiz [20:28] So i call it a test machine os [20:28] what os does the youtube guy use? [20:28] hello, I removed apache install directory by mistake, and I tried to remove the package and install it again, but when i do that, it says that package is already installed, even if I did an apt-get remove apache2. I am using ubuntu 12.04. Can you tell me what to do ? [20:28] ThinkT510: +100 [20:28] "he is in some linux distro that uses compiz"?????!!! [20:28] nino_: Which is wrong. ;) It needs a windows, that all. [20:28] <[snake]> osfinder, some distribution of GNU/Linux [20:28] razvan: what did you remove exactly? [20:29] osfinder: yes [20:29] osfinder: it's impossible to tell which distro he is running, they're so customizable and many [20:29] "GNU/Linux" i know but what distro? [20:29] <[snake]> osfinder, you can use ubuntu for it I bet [20:29] osfinder: looks like ubuntu 10.10 [20:29] ye but its not better then stand alone or dualboot Bekks [20:29] <[snake]> We'll go with Muphrid 's answer osfinder [20:29] hi, how can i install software from a live USB with persistance enabled? [20:29] <[snake]> ubuntu 10.10 [20:29] apt-get shows no such package, and apt-get update dosn't do anything [20:29] nino_: Which doesnt magically convert it into a "test os"? === G4MBY is now known as Guest81501 [20:30] osfinder: probably sone debian kind distro with compiz [20:30] linuxthefish: what does "dosn't do anything" mean exactly? [20:30] Bekks: the site you sent me says it needs a disk. I dont have a CD drive. [20:30] Well what is it then? You cant say really that it works perfectly [20:30] And maybe anyone knows how to deal with my SANE problem? Server seems to work fine, nothing blocks connection (I can telnet it on 6566), but client does not find any scanner. [20:30] "Reading packages lists... done" [20:30] then it's finished [20:31] Its slower then a full stand alone of dualboot version Bekks [20:31] *or8 [20:31] * [20:31] !who | linuxthefish [20:31] linuxthefish: As you can see, this is a large channel.

But it still is a full blown Ubuntu install, and not a test OS. Because of the windows requirement, nobody actually wants to support it, but thats OT ;) [20:32] Bekks: the site you sent me says I need a CD drive. As I told you earlier, I have no CD drive. [20:32] hello guys [20:32] :) [20:32] good afternoon [20:32] jrib: "Package "openssh-server" has no instalation candidate" :S [20:32] CoreBR: loevening [20:33] Ok Bekks you are right its not a test OS but its not better then stand alone of dualboot [20:33] linuxthefish: pastebin the output from "sudo apt-get update" and your /etc/apt/sources.list [20:33] rust_: Then your one and only chance is using an installation on an USB stick. [20:33] CoreBR: lol evening [20:33] ok [20:33] !who | CoreyBR [20:33] try this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [20:33] CoreyBR: 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 :) [20:33] Bekks: Im just going to use Wubi again. [20:33] Bye. [20:33] nino_: It is the SAME, it isnt better. It just requires Windows, which introduces a lot more problems than you want. [20:34] Ye thats the problem with wubi [20:34] jrib: i get "cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: Input/output error" [20:34] i dont like it at all [20:34] so does someone kknow what os the guy used? [20:34] And i'm wondering wy they introduced it [20:35] osfinder: why does it matter so much? [20:35] OSfinder: Do you mean Itry? [20:35] no i mean all persons here [20:35] rust_: first thing on google after typing "install ubuntu from usb" answers most of your questions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [20:35] osfinder, dont poll [20:35] :( [20:36] osfinder, this is ubuntu support [20:36] mike_papa: he left [20:36] ThinkT510: Yeah. I missed it. I was on google for 3 seconds then ;) [20:37] i thank all bye [20:37] Bye [20:38] linuxthefish: well that's probably not good [20:39] my mouse cursor disapear when i'm on menu options or icons how i can fix it? [20:39] oh [20:39] should i just reinstall ubuntu live on my usb? [20:40] you should install in the first place... [20:40] hallo anyone here [20:41] yes [20:41] ive some games working on windows [20:41] and the next step is playing them online [20:41] media-centre: state the problem [20:41] how do go about doing that [20:42] media-centre: this is ubuntu support === Sdze is now known as Sidze [20:42] media-center: you're asking for what? How to play online games on windows? [20:42] so where do i go to get game server support [20:42] ##windows media-centre [20:42] yea [20:43] lol i'm a lot confused in linux [20:43] @_@ [20:43] media-center: this game support? [20:43] reading a lot of guides here but still strange [20:43] can someone suggest some ways to install ubuntu if i don't have a blank dvd around? [20:43] media-centre, thats the channel, go there [20:43] MFen, usb stick for one [20:43] i have a windows 8 machine here that i need to wipe and put ubuntu onto [20:43] MFen: USB stick, network... [20:43] !install | MFen [20:43] i know their are some windows games out their that have linux server support [20:43] MFen: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [20:43] what's the smallest usb stick that would work? [20:43] so guessing that [20:44] media-centre, how is this connected to ubuntu [20:44] ok thanx [20:44] media-centre: what do you want to know ? [20:44] how i can get some of my games to play online [20:44] hello there [20:44] media-centre, and how is this related to Ubuntu? [20:45] its using linux servers [20:45] media-centre: what OS are you running the games on ? [20:45] windows [20:45] please wine vs vbox? [20:45] media-centre, thats not an ubuntu issue [20:45] but some of them have linux server support [20:45] not officially [20:45] media-centre: ok, so the ##windows channel will teach you how to configure your windows machine to connect the games to the linux servers [20:45] MFen: I have ubuntu installed and working on 4GB stick. It's not fastest, but independent and portable. [20:45] but [20:45] media-centre, thats not on topic here [20:45] holly_molly: depends [20:45] Hi Has anyone worked on a nexus 7 [20:46] media-centre: so if you type /join ##windows you'll join the ##windows channels and you can explain the problem to the windows team [20:46] ok thanx [20:46] MFen: Installation will take same place as on DVD. Something around image file size. [20:46] mrspinx, the ubuntu on nexus 7? [20:46] ok thanx [20:46] mike_papa: bummer, i only have a 512MB stick here [20:46] i am reading this cd-less install procedure though. might work for me [20:46] MFen: if you only have a small one you can install usin the minimal version [20:47] hello D: [20:47] !minimal | MFen [20:47] MFen: 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/MinimalCD [20:47] yes I just flashed nexus 7 with the core installer [20:47] by the way whats this shit going round about microsoft bring out boot restricted laptops and pcs [20:47] MFen: Then you can use it for network installation. I did it once at work. [20:47] mrspinx: #ubuntu-arm has some guys using the nexus platform [20:47] MFen: the minimal iso is only 30 MB [20:47] MFen: you can read about it over at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:48] yea it seems quite in that channel [20:48] MFen: 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. ;) [20:49] I 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] can someone help me get the webcam working on a 2007/2008 macbok [20:49] macbook* [20:49] mike_papa: what kind of phone? [20:49] dufa: awesome that will help [20:50] anyone able to help out at all? [20:50] if i open cheese it just shows a black screen or says "No Device" or whatever [20:50] MFen: 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. [20:52] oh, you formatted it. no thanks then [20:52] MFen: 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] also no thanks. :) [20:53] MFen: 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] i'm going to try either the no-disk option or using the minimal disk on the stick that i have [20:53] can someone help at all? [20:53] anyone? [20:54] what are the others channels of ubuntu here in freenode? [20:55] !irc | CoreyBR [20:55] CoreyBR: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [20:56] ty ThinkT510 [20:56] !webcam | lenswipe [20:56] lenswipe: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [20:56] !freenode [20:56] freenode is the IRC network that you're on! - See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml - freenode has policies that govern how people should use the network which can be read at http://freenode.net/policy.shtml - The Ubuntu channels on freenode also have their own !Guidelines [20:57] Is it just me, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat returns Internal Server Error (that will be... 500?) [20:57] ikonia: you misunderstand me [20:58] It works on http instead of https. You may want to correct link on script. [20:58] ikonia: Im having problems getting iSight to work [20:58] mike_papa: works fine here [20:58] mike_papa: it normally works fine with https; the wiki is having a bad day. [20:58] lenswipe: islight is a mac app isn't it ? [20:59] Flannel: That explains a lot. [20:59] ikonia: wat? [20:59] ikonia: iSight is what Apple calls their webcams (hardware). [20:59] lenswipe: isn't isight a mac app ? [20:59] ahh [20:59] ikonia: im running ubuntu on a macbook and having problems getting iSight (the webcam) to work [20:59] lenswipe: ok, so the link I've given you shows you how to get webcams working in linux [20:59] and listes supported cameras [21:00] lists [21:00] ikonia: 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] lenswipe: what makes you think it's not recognising it ? [21:01] ikonia: the part where it says "NO DEVICE" when i open cheese [21:01] lenswipe: so you know how to configure webcams....as you said. Have you checked the device nodes ? [21:02] ikonia: the device "nodes" ?! [21:02] lenswipe: yes, the device files for the device you want to use [21:03] lenswipe: what ubuntu version are you using? [21:03] jrib: It was precise [21:03] jrib: I just upgraded to Quantal [21:03] (12.10) [21:04] lenswipe: output of "sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name"? [21:04] have any of you guy setup Ubuntu on a stick for Mac OS X before? [21:05] having trouble with an rnx mini1 connections [21:05] ok so , im using filezilla and i want to set my default text editor [21:05] i normally used windows in the past, so i would normally browse to the programs folder [21:06] but uhh.... where do i look for my bluefish editor? [21:06] I have read several forums and the the minin1 uses the realtek 8188cus chipset [21:06] one way to open it that will work hold down ctrl alt and press "t" [21:06] brady2600: /usr/share ? [21:06] type bluefish press enter that will open it [21:07] no but im trying to assign the editor in filezilla [21:07] meaning i would have to navigate folders to it [21:07] the default driver rtl8192 doesn't work sees the network but won't connect [21:08] brady2600: add /home there is aal settings included [21:08] I 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] *all [21:08] jrib: sorry - I just saw your message [21:08] jrib: leme get on tat for you [21:08] i see the bluefish folder in /user/share, but i dont see the application [21:09] hi, I have a VPS running maverick that I want to do a release upgrade on. I guess since 10.10 is EOL I get 404 errors from apt-get when trying to install update-manager-core. How can I install the upgrade tool if the apt repositories aren't available anymore? [21:09] jrib: MacBook2,1 [21:10] brady2600: the best way is to use PING fron liveUSB more easy and friendly [21:10] huh? [21:10] does ubuntu support multi videocard and multi monitor setups out of the box or does it need to be configured? [21:10] what does that have to do with where the bluefish application is located [21:10] Motoservo, 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 complaining [21:10] done see it in home either [21:11] lenswipe: output of "ls -l /dev/video0; lsusb" [21:11] lenswipe: (use a pastebin) [21:11] brady2600: try /usr/bin [21:12] tozen: i think you replied to me , but intended someone else [21:12] brady2600: im trying to help exactly u [21:12] brady2600: also 'which bluefish' [21:13] the bluefish editor i have installed on my ubunut [21:13] ubuntu [21:13] BluesKaj: I did, earlier. Been working on this all morning. I've rebooted though and it's all lost from my IRC history. I'll go round it up... [21:13] brady2600: no, I mean type 'which bluefish' into the terminal [21:13] brady2600: Which is a command that will locate a binary if it's on your path. [21:13] i need to navigate.. doing it though the terminal won't set it as the default editor in filezilla [21:13] ahhh [21:13] jrib: http://pastebin.com/Ny87WERG [21:13] brady2600: you're trying to find it's location, no? [21:14] s/it's/its/ [21:14] yes i found it in user/bin [21:14] So has anyone attempted to shrink Ubuntu 12.10 iso to live *CD* sizes? [21:14] And would it be that difficult to do? [21:14] brady2600: finding the binary will make it easier to tell filezilla what to use. [21:15] bredy2600: i suggesting to use PING so u can get ur system fully backed up like an imege file [21:15] Motoservo, rather than a usb stick do you have any blank dvds ,, they're easier to use in some cases [21:15] lenswipe: 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] ohh [21:15] filezilla1!!! [21:15] Yeah 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... [21:16] sorry i thought clonezilla...im an idiot :D [21:16] Time/money is just as much a consideration for me as it is for an ubuntu dev. [21:16] asoltys: 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] BluesKaj: 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. [21:17] jrib: Yeah, I found that - problem is - I don't have an OSX install to get the files from [21:17] e.g. how would I go about building a (smaller) 12.10 distro from scratch? [21:17] the firmware that is [21:17] lorddelta: you'd have to alter the build....which would make it a custom spin [21:17] lorddelta: which would mean it's up to you to support / maintain it [21:17] jrib: the HDD has also been replaced in this macbook (it's my girlfriend's macbok( [21:18] macbook* sod this keyboad to hades [21:18] lenswipe: 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 work [21:18] Motoservo, perhaps you could reveiew the method you used to put ubuntu on the usb stick , because it should boot if it was installed correctly [21:18] BluesKaj: 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] I get as far as running the dd command. [21:19] jrib: so you think I might have the firmware _with_ ubuntu by default? [21:19] And then after running the command, the drive dismounts, I get an alert that it's not readable... [21:19] lenswipe: yes, for a while now, the camera should work out of the box [21:19] ikonia: ok, so what, just install uck? [21:20] …and it then shoes up as 1:0x17 789.9 MB disk1s1 in the diskutil list command. [21:20] hi [21:20] ikonia: or is it better to use an hg/git repo? [21:20] jrib: well it doesn't and I don't have /lib/firmware/isight [21:20] lenswipe: i'm looking for documentation on how :) Yes, I don't have /lib/firmware/isight either. [21:20] any one know a mysql gui client with code assist? [21:20] and then 0x17 is where it *used* to say DOS FAT32 [21:20] jrib: got it - thanks :) [21:21] What do i have to do to set up 3 monitors connected to 2 video cards in ubuntu? [21:21] Motoservo: what command do u use and what do u trying to get?4 [21:21] Flannel: Thanks! [21:21] Motoservo, I'm not well versed about linux on macs ...sorry for wasting time on this [21:22] lorddelta: sorry, in respect to what ? [21:22] ikonia: easiest fastest way to remix ubuntu 12.10 [21:22] tozen: sudo dd if=~/Desktop/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m [21:22] lenswipe: following the manual way would probably make it work too [21:22] It's from the page on how to set up Ubuntu on a stick for Mac OS X. [21:23] I 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] it'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 image [21:23] jrib: except i dont have the firmware file [21:23] the .fw [21:23] lorddelta: no, you should under no circumstances delete random things, plus the install CD is built on squash fs not an "archive" [21:23] lenswipe: you could install os x and grab it :) I'm trying to figure out how to find what firmware is loaded on the imac [21:23] Motoservo: where's the problem is? [21:23] jrib: how do i install OSX? [21:24] lorddelta: as you don't seem to understand how the actual CD images work I'd strongly advise you not to try to mess with it [21:24] jrib: there isn't a CD (afaik) === azend_ is now known as azend [21:24] lenswipe: the macbooks (at least back then) come with OS X cds [21:25] jrib: ill go ask my gf (it's her macbook [21:25] tozen: 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] ikonia: 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] I 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? [21:26] lorddelta: unless you have a solid understanding of how it works and the implications of changes, it's not something I'd suggest doing [21:26] Motoservo: so what for do u type /dev/disk1 if u got usb? [21:26] 12.04 lts that is [21:26] 4598732 [21:26] tozen, usb drives are still /dev/sdx [21:26] ikonia: if I do try something I'll probably just delete gimp or somesuch off of it, worst comes to worst i've got one less cd to waste [21:26] ikonia: thanks for your time [21:27] tozen: /dev/disk# is where macs put the usb-sticks [21:27] Motoservo: show blkid with usb inserted, please [21:27] lorddelta: it's not that simple [21:27] tozen: That's the device node of the stick. [21:27] How do I have to play a sound when a dowloaded torrent finishes with rtorrent ? [21:27] dufa: [21:27] dufa: macs??!!! [21:28] tozen: What command is that? It's not recognized on my bash. [21:28] blkid [21:28] jrib: reckon it's possible to grab it straight off the CD? [21:28] Motosrvo: what os do u use? [21:28] macs as in mac, macintosh [21:28] jrib: without an install [21:28] tozen: 10.7.5 [21:29] Motoservo: ubuntu? [21:29] just downloaded Ubuntu 12.10 [21:29] Motoservo was trying to create a live usb of ubuntu on a mac, wasnt he [21:29] pana? [21:29] dufa: Yes. [21:30] Motoservo: u r blowing up mi mind O_o [21:30] lenswipe: probably. See that first paragraph on the wiki (it gives you the name of the file, its location, and even suggests you should be able to google for it...) [21:30] *my [21:30] any advice on dual-booting linux and windows, with an ssd drive involved? [21:30] the ssd drive is much smaller than the main disk, only 16GB [21:31] tozen: dufa Yes, trying to create a USB flash drive that I can boot to when I need to use Ubuntu instead of Mac OS X. [21:31] pana [21:32] i'm thinking i'll install windows on the ssd drive if possible [21:32] Motoservo: does macs haven't any soft to burn image files on usb? [21:32] anyone? [21:32] andrude what's your trouble? [21:32] I 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? [21:32] Does this script look ok? http://chriseiffel.com/everything-linux/how-i-got-suspend-and-hibernate-working-in-linux-ubuntu-11-04-mint-11/ [21:33] anyone with experience on sleep and hibernation problem in linux? [21:33] That's a good tip. Disk Util will give me that option. I was fixated on following these command line instructions and forgot that option. Thanks. [21:33] 12.04 lts that is [21:33] MFen, ssd's aren't a good choice for windows, due to the swap file [21:33] anyone ? [21:33] thanks, tozen: will let you know if it works. [21:33] ikonia: 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] cmell i just want to get the best performance out of the ssd. how should i set things up? [21:33] andrude you have to install 8188 properly and blacklist the other one [21:33] Motoservo: dont mention, pal [21:34] ikonia: including whatever time I have to spend figuring out squashfs/my mistakes. [21:34] right now it's the default lenovo install of windows 8. i don't know how the disks are allocated, yet [21:34] riderplus : I can't find the modules to blacklist it [21:35] ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization? [21:35] MFen, installing linux to the ssd is commonly done, because you don't need a swap partition if you have enough memory [21:35] well, it's windows that's slow to boot [21:35] I can see what's loaded with lsmod [21:35] lenswipe: output of "apt-cache policy linux-ubuntu-modules"? [21:35] andrude lsmod | grep rtl* [21:35] * grep is away: PS3 or sleeping or something... [21:35] MFen, windows is designed to absorb all cpu time [21:36] what does that have to do with disk i/o [21:36] Does this script look ok? http://chriseiffel.com/everything-linux/how-i-got-suspend-and-hibernate-working-in-linux-ubuntu-11-04-mint-11/ [21:36] MFen, it's slow because it's windows. it will always be slow no matter the drive you use [21:37] Hi. Does anyone know how to get the “document viewer” to be able to read plain text files please. [21:37] N: Unable to locate package linux-ubuntu N: Unable to locate package modules [21:37] jrib: ^ [21:37] lenswipe: output of "apt-cache policy linux-ubuntu-modules"? [21:37] Motoservo: I wish I remembered how the process is done. I've installed ubuntu on two macs before, but I struggled creating the usb [21:37] on one of the machines the dvd drive was broken [21:37] cmell: honestly i don't think you're unbiased about this [21:38] anyone with experience on sleep and hibernation problem in linux?

[21:40] hoo boy [21:40] Where are modules listed so that I can find them? the old cat /etc/modules has no mods in it [21:41] jrib: right now im considering how much I would like to slap steve jobs and johnny ives [21:41] Do you know if there's a way to download Ubuntu from their site in a format other than iso? [21:41] andrude so blacklist what you don't need [21:41] I'm not sure /etc/modules is the right place to look into... [21:41] Motoservo: no idea, sorry4 [21:41] there are no modules listed there [21:41] andrude: lsmod will tell you what modules are loaded [21:41] /lib/modules (?) [21:42] how do I blacklist them from the command line [21:42] riderplus: DE? tbh?

[21:42] that's DE and tbh [21:42] andrude: google is your friend ;) [21:43] Not sure. I always thought they were windows related, I've only seen them on torrent sites--and they never worked. [21:43] I have done this before on earlier versions of Ubuntu but the same things don't work in 12.04 [21:43] Motoservo: very starnge [21:43] *strange [21:44] I have been googling this problem for a week now [21:44] Most of the posts are pre 12.04 [21:44] !blacklist | andrude [21:44] andrude: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [21:44] bingo [21:45] riderplus: Linux mint 14 KDE [21:45] thank you ubottu [21:45] yeah, tozen, Disk Utility doesn't seem to know what to do with the iso.

[21:46] gotcha. [21:47] Motoservo, if you can find a port of cdrecord for your mac, you'd be able to use iso files. also, nero (if they have a mac version) can use iso files [21:47] thanks. [21:48] Motosrvo: if ull get it just let us know [21:48] just 4 expirience [21:49] yooooooo [21:49] also, adaptec easy cd does have a mac version, and it can use iso files [21:51] Hmm well I don't need libreoffice...

[21:53] purley caus i rarley use office and its in the reps (latex ftw) [21:53] caus its smaller ;D [21:55] so I have been experimenting some more in gnome session fallback. Compiz starts, but doesn't start rendering any window borders. No errors or anything.

My two external monitors don't get recognized anymore, i can't use native resolution etc. When I try to run the catalyst control center, it tells me no appropriate driver was found. Any idea how i can revert to the driver shipped with ubuntu? [22:01] if all discs are the same physical size, what benefit is cd for having less storage on it? [22:02] cmell, being cheaper [22:02] cmell, also, not having pointless discussions about dvd/cd size that ought to be had in #dvd [22:03] lorddelta, touche on that bit of trolling, bringing up the subject yourself, and then telling me it's OT [22:04] cmell, I was just being civil/chatty.

[22:49] ahk [22:50] Hi 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 way [22:51] I can stop the cursor from going to the other "screen"?, like a stop or anything [22:51] fabrizziop: nvidia by any chance ? [22:51] ati/amd, a 5770 and a 5830, using 12.8 driver I think [22:52] odd never seen that with ati [22:52] fabrizziop: basically hardcoding one screen either in the config tool or the xorg.conf should solve your problem [22:52] that's what I was thinking, but in the xorg.conf what can I add to "ignore" the second screen? [22:53] fabrizziop: you don't need to tell it to ignore, you just need to tell it there is only one configured === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [22:53] ohh, you mean deleting the other screen from the xorg.conf? === root is now known as Guest30301 [22:55] Little elp here im booting live ubuntu 10.X and for some reason i cant chmod 755 filename to a file in the usb stick [22:55] !rootirc > Guest30301 [22:55] Guest30301, please see my private message [22:56] I know the small live boot im using is only root access.

[22:58] 10.10 [22:58] Guest30301: ok, so the first thing to consider is that 10.10 is EOL, so you may want to change that [22:58] Guest30301: where is the file you are creating being saved ? [22:58] its a non ubuntu live system. so we cant know what they changed there. besides running X as root [22:59] he said it was ubuntu ?

Which do you prefer?

[23:46] samba 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. [23:47] wanted to know what the "big brains" thought [23:47] lickalott: it depends on a lot of things [23:47] lickalott: probably why the reviews are mixed [23:48] i'm keeping NFS for a view dirs (streaming movies, etc...) but the samba folder would be for data storage/movement [23:48] lickalott: 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 network [23:48] lickalott: I'd just consider which provides the best functionality for your needs [23:48] lickalott: I don't see a need for both, you seem to be making it over complex [23:48] k. i need to get samba back up first then i'll do a side by side. [23:49] ikonia i have a raspberry pi setup as an HTPC and the speed of streaming 1080p is affected by samba for some reason. [23:49] lickalott: I suspect it's limited more by your rasberry [23:49] You're using a Pi as a SERVER? [23:50] and the fact that the network card is on the same bus as your usb controller [23:50] not really a server Magiobiwan. [23:50] lickalott: are you using a usb disk plugged in ?

[23:51] my ubuntu server is storing the files/movies [23:51] it's a revA so 256 irrc. but i bumped it up to 380 [23:51] bumped it ? [23:52] you can edit a config to essentially overclock [23:52] you soldered more ram on ? [23:52] err that doesn't give you "more" ram [23:52] you can't overclock the ammount of ram [23:52] physically there is only 256 [23:52] right, so how have you given it more ? [23:52] same way you would overclock a cpu in the bios [23:53] hello all, I've just completed installing the latest stable on an thinkpad x40, and I don't seem to have any desktop appearing [23:53] errr that doen't give you "more ram" [23:53] i have a mouse cursor and what appears to be the background [23:53] i never said "more ram". I said i bumped it up. you said "more ram" ;P [23:53] I was able to authenticate as my user, but now I have nothing [23:54] lickalott: so when you said bumped it up, you mean you increased the clock speed ? [23:54] compiz crashed and research showed that may be related to the graphics controller, but it's okay since I don't really need to use compiz [23:54] lickalott: So how did you "bump it up" then? [23:54] if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated as this setup is a gift [23:54] Hi there, I've a little problem with the grep command, i want to display only the text after the maching pattern, if i search "foo" in "foo bar", i want " bar" to be displayed, is that possible, Thanks [23:54] the pi has no bios [23:54] true ikonia [23:54] its just a config file [23:55] Lol [23:55] Whaddup?
