[00:00] zoie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/171287/how-to-pass-record-audio-output-as-an-input-device [00:01] jrib: it would be really convenient if i could just go to add a printer, it see it, and then i can select it. [00:03] xui34: http://www.cups-pdf.de/ maybe has some useful info [00:04] xui34: so I guess you can just setup cups-pdf on your server; or at least that's how it reads [00:04] Jordan_U: i tried but it didn't help : http://i.imgur.com/NYvGw.png [00:04] hi, i have a Dell Inspiron 14z (N411z) and everything is recognized out of the box! except for the fact that the touchpad doesn't seem to be very sensitive, sometimes it doesn't even register several clicks made in a row! (made on the touchpad, not the buttons). also, the touchpad doesn't seem to be very fast even though it is configured to be at its fastest on the settings. this touchpad sucks on windows, but not on this level. on windows it never misses cli [00:04] cks [00:04] jrib: that might actually be what i'm looking for basically [00:04] xui34: it's in the repositories too (as cups-pdf) [00:05] jrib: i wasn't thinking of it as a piece of software although if i can setup a simple computer and install that it might do what i want [00:05] xui34: what were you thinking of originally? [00:06] exit [00:06] Another noob question: Can i install RPM packages? [00:06] SailorMoon: you shouldn't. Use the repositories and APT [00:06] !software | SailorMoon [00:06] SailorMoon: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [00:06] But what if i want to use Oracle's Java instead of the openJDK thing, jrib? [00:07] !java | SailorMoon [00:07] SailorMoon: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. === Albastos|off is now known as Albastos [00:07] jrib: i was thinking there maybe was a complete product (like a storage device that emulated a printer on the network; that fake printer that you printed to over the network would store the pdfs on the device itself) [00:07] xui34: oh I see. Like a ready-made hardware device [00:08] jrib: yes- exactly [00:08] xui34: I guess you can make one with cups pdf :) [00:08] jrib: it would be extremely handy. [00:08] very complex install. not worth it. lol [00:08] jrib: yea- i think cups pdf might work === fabiano_ is now known as Fabs [00:11] Jordan_U: any idea as to why it's not working? [00:11] whats a good way to test 3D HWA? === Dave is now known as Dave2 [00:11] i want to be sure the graphics driver is working or whatver :P [00:13] SailorMoon: what is the brand? [00:13] Intel [00:14] Its like an Intel GMA 845 or something along those lines [00:14] then it is free software and included in the respective xorg package by default [00:14] xorg-xserver-video-intel i believe [00:14] SailorMoon: probably the screensaver [00:14] i followed step by step this how to (using audacity instead of sound recorder, but it's still flat :() [00:15] you can still test it in glxinfo or glxgears [00:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440833 [00:15] the easiest way [00:16] testing with Minecraft [00:16] thats how i role [00:16] Or roll [00:18] how do I get around an issue when the server is in init=/bin/bash (single user mode) and when I run passwd, it doesn't prompt for the password but gives me the following error: passwd: authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged [00:18] partition is in rw and the shadow file has 000 permissions [00:19] Fullscreen mode doesnt work. it did on Mint. So. :P lol [00:19] moncapitane: Is / mounted rw ? [00:20] SailorMoon: that could also be a DE problem. [00:20] moncapitane: Why are you using init=/bin/bash rather than actually using single user mode? Why does /etc/shadow have 000 permissions when it should have 640? [00:21] I don't know the root password so I didn't know single would work and 640 doesn't work either. [00:21] Hi, all. #httpd is quiet. I've just installed standard apache2 on ubuntu; I've added cgi-bin to www, and I'm just looking to give execcgi access to that folder. Is it just a matter of editing apache2.conf with this (used /n for returns to avoid irc scrolling): /n Options ExecCGI /n SetHandler cgi-script /n [00:21] Jordan_U: no matter the permissions, I get the same error [00:21] 000 or 640 [00:22] moncapitane: There is no root password by default in Ubuntu, and thus no password prompt for single user mode. (And as you know, a prompt for a password for single user mode is already a little silly, given how easily it can be bypassed if you have local access to the machine). [00:22] moncapitane: Sorry, I just logged in, can you repeat the error for me and what program it's coming from? [00:22] how do I get around an issue when the server is in init=/bin/bash (single user mode) and when I run passwd, it doesn't prompt for the password but gives me the following error: passwd: authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged [00:22] moncapitane: Why was it ever 000? === mercurius is now known as mercvrivs [00:23] are you talking about the permissions of a certain file? [00:23] Hi, I have a script that uses ANSI color codes but I can't seem to escape them for line length purposes, I tried to use \[ which works for $PS1 gets ignored and \001 which works on Mac OS X just gets printed as well. Anybody have any ideas for alternatives? [00:23] yes, on /etc/shadow hydrox24 [00:23] moncapitane: It sounds like you have some serious problems with your installation, and I think figuring out what got you to this state will help figure out how to fix things and set whatever password you want to set. (By the way, you should *not* set a root password). [00:23] Because the solution seems to be remounting root as read/write.... [00:23] mount -rw -o remount / [00:24] hydrox24: already did that, same error [00:24] Jordan_U: I understand, i'm trying with my user cst##### and it gives me the same error, passwd cst##### authentication without the ability to type anything in [00:24] did the command work? [00:24] hydrox24: yes, command went through without any issues [00:24] try making a file in the root directory and removing it again. [00:24] already did that [00:24] touch tempfilefordebug === chiluk_away is now known as chiluk [00:24] I can create a file called test [00:25] ok. [00:25] moncapitane: Why were the permissions on /etc/shadow ever 000? [00:25] because all the forums I was reading said it needs to be 000 [00:25] check that the date is set correctly in bios and that the timestamp on the shadow file isn't weird [00:25] the date if right [00:25] <|Anthony|> looking in the repo for teamspeak, there is only an i386 package... is that still usable on the amd64 arch [00:25] already chekced all of that. [00:25] moncapitane: Can you link to one of these forums? (because that's completely wrong). [00:26] http://askubuntu.com/questions/91188/authentication-token-manipulation-error [00:26] thats one of them. [00:26] Jordan_U: current permissions on /etc/shadow is 640 [00:26] same error appears [00:26] <|Anthony|> anyone have a thought on that? === dankest|away is now known as dankest [00:27] |Anthony|: yes, you can use i368 packages on a 64 bit machine [00:27] <|Anthony|> danka [00:27] moncapitane, do you remember the moment when you noticed this issue? Do you remember what you were doing before then? [00:27] moncapitane: Try actually booting into single user mode, rather than bypassing init completely as you're doing with init=/bin/bash, and see if that works. You can get to single user mode by selecting the "recovery mode" entry from the grub menu. [00:28] Jordan_U: when I use recovery mode, it still asks for the current password or use ctrl-d to continue when I go to prompt [00:28] hello guys, where can i get chat support with macos? [00:28] excervo, #mac [00:29] litropy, thanks [00:29] I just did single in the grub and now it says, give root password for maintenance (or type control-d to continue): and I don't know the password [00:29] |Anthony|: if you have any issues installing it (dependencies and the like) just run "sudo apt-get -f install" without any package names or anything to fix the issues. [00:29] control-d then? [00:30] excervo, #macdev if you're programming, but they're a little grumpy. [00:30] puts me back at the recovery menu [00:30] options are resume, clean, dpkg, grub, netroot, root [00:30] moncapitane: maybe the best way to go is to boot from a USB or CD and mount the root filesystem from there. [00:30] Yea, that is a good idea. [00:30] <|Anthony|> hydrox24, it's listing a bunch of i386 deps... mostly c libraries and gcc [00:31] <|Anthony|> is that going to interfere with the 64 bit versions already installed/ [00:31] no. [00:31] It's normal, just go ahead and install them, it might take a while if this is your first i386 package. [00:32] <|Anthony|> sure is [00:32] <|Anthony|> :/ [00:32] <|Anthony|> tried to maintain a 64 bit system [00:32] <|Anthony|> heh [00:32] i'm not able to record my output sound with audacity; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440833 i've followed this step by step guide but it's still flat http://i.imgur.com/NYvGw.png [00:32] <|Anthony|> wonder why there is no 64 bit version of ts in the repos [00:32] it is proprietary software [00:32] uhum [00:32] <|Anthony|> mmm [00:32] and TS is basically using wine as its emulator [00:33] if you extract the deb package you will see a wine folder [00:33] <|Anthony|> ha [00:33] <|Anthony|> that's funny [00:33] litropy, tried to join #mac but it ses i must be invited [00:33] <|Anthony|> though ts was native linux [00:33] <|Anthony|> guess not [00:33] excervo, try /join ##mac [00:34] Can anyone please help? I dediced to install ubuntu and I get the following message: "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try intsalling again". I am using the 12.10 64 bits version, and my processor is an i3 530.

I've only ever use k3b on ubuntu before but never for anything like this. If the device I'll be playing the dvd in plays .avi then do I even need to convert the file? Can't I just burn the avi file as avi and shove it in the player? [00:36] buenas noches [00:36] ClientAlive: I dont know how your player acts, in mine I just make a data project and add the avi files there [00:36] ubuntu es el mejor sistema del mundo [00:36] litropy, can't join ##mac it ask me to be identified with the services [00:37] ClientAlive: If the device your playing on supports that partucular video's codecs, then you're fine. AVI is a container format, and tells you next to nothing about what codecs are actually used. [00:37] excervo, it seems you have to register your nick. [00:37] Muphrid: ok. Well it's an xbox 360. Idk either but guess I can try it. [00:37] excervo, /join #freenode and ask them to help you. [00:37] ok [00:37] litropy, thanks ill try that [00:37] Hey guys... when I turn on 3D acceleration in VirtualBox, my desktop disappears... WTH? like it's on another screen or something? [00:38] excervo: its normal for apple-stuff that you are not allowed to do specific things ;) [00:38] Please can somebody help with an error installing ubuntu? I guess it has to do with HDDs. I get the following message: "The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try intsalling again". I am using the 12.10 64 bits version, and my processor is an i3 530. If I try to mount the HDDs, I get this: error mounting filesystem not authorized to perform operat [00:38] i can interact with the desktop (e.g. create a file there) but it's like that's not the main screen? so it's unusable [00:38] I suppose I want to be sure the thing recognizes there being a file on the disc. Maybe be sure it isn't burned on there inside a directory or something? [00:39] hi guys [00:40] hello all [00:41] #httpd is quiet. I've just installed standard apache2 on ubuntu; I've added cgi-bin to www, and I'm just looking to give execcgi access to that folder. Is it just a matter of editing apache2.conf with this: /n Options ExecCGI /n SetHandler cgi-script /n (used /n for returns to avoid irc scrolling) [00:41] anybody familiar with the book ubuntu unleashed? [00:42] christopher, it contains the basics [00:42] zyngawow, you can delete all contenent in the disk? if yes, do: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda ; then after 30 secs CTRL+C ; then run the installer [00:43] I am thinking about ordering it. Is it recommended? === dankest is now known as dankest|away [00:43] Is there a more active chan for apache2 than #httpd? [00:44] MoL0ToV: I formatted both HDDs [00:44] !alis | litropy [00:44] litropy: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [00:44] iceroot, thx [00:44] zyngawow, with dd command you delete all info in the disks [00:44] so bad or not standard info about partitions go away [00:45] zyngawow: how did you partition the disks? [00:45] MoL0ToV: I do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda;? [00:45] dr_willis: disks tool on ubuntu [00:45] zyngawow: and you made them what filesystem? [00:45] ext4 [00:47] so whats the actual problrm then? you tell the installer to use one of the ext4's as the / and you get an error? [00:47] looking for some help with a networking error using cli - basic prob is usb wifi adaptor will only connect to network is i reset my router [00:47] dr_willis: the installer doesnt run again [00:47] zyngawow, on the disk there are sda1 as ext4 and sda2 as linux-swap? [00:48] ot what partitions config? [00:48] MoL0ToV: no, that wasnt working, so I formatted everything to just ext4 [00:48] zyngawow: after partitiong ive seen cases where a reboot is needed to refresh the partition info [00:48] 20 reboots? [00:48] zyngawow, if you install linux you need minimal 2 partitions, 1 monted as root and other linux-swap [00:49] MoL0ToV: The thing is, I cant install [00:49] ok [00:49] use the dd command [00:49] zyngawow: i dont know your details. if you got a ext4 partition use the 'somthing else' option in the installer and have it mounted to / [00:49] then reboot and installer must work [00:50] Jordan_U: you still around? I booted with a knoppix cd and tried to mount and chroot and passwd and get the same error [00:50] whats happening when you run the installer exactly? [00:50] Jordan_U: what else can I look for? [00:50] 1 sec [00:51] Ok, I get t the livecd session, what should I do know [00:51] oh [00:51] now I get black console screen [00:51] just that [00:51] I had a brief look at the Ubuntu web site - is there any SDK documentation around without downloading the SDK? [00:52] specifically for the HTML5 SDK [00:54] anyway know there way around troubleshooting wifi problems from cli? [00:54] F3Speech: theres various wireless commands in the cli [00:55] iwlist and other iw* commands [00:55] !wifi [00:55] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:55] yeah, i have a particular problem i need some help with, googled what i cant but no fix [00:55] my wifi works fine but only when i restart my router [00:56] you have to reboot the router every time you boot up ubuntu? [00:56] the server boots ok but just with no connection [00:57] dr_willis: how do I figure out the cause of the inability to reset passwords using the passwd command? doesn't give me a way to put in a password but gives authentication error [00:57] then if i reboot my router it will detect and connect [00:58] moncapitane: odd. even 'sudo passwd username' wont change the users password? === TestBot is now known as Guest74991 [00:59] theres a couple of things that might point to a problem, if i unplug my wifi and reconnect it i get the fdollowing error ath: Failed to wakeup in 500us [00:59] dr_willis: no, gives the passwd: authentication token manipulation error [00:59] Its not like i'm getting to enter a new password or anything. [00:59] moncapitane: could be the passwd file or /etc/shadow is currupted. [00:59] or / is read only [01:00] i accidentally deleted my /etc/printcap. how do i restore it? [01:00] mounted as rw from the knoppix live cd before going to chroot [01:00] already re-built the shadow file. [01:00] How do you re-create the passwd file if shadow is fubared? [01:00] passwd permissions are 644 and shadow is 640 [01:01] moncapitane: you have a /etc/passwd- . But how did they become fubared? [01:01] no idea. manes me wonder why all this broke in the first place [01:01] What is the passwd- file? [01:01] adfk: # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) [01:01] jrib: not sure, i'm a new admin to the box and hasn't worked since I got it [01:01] adfk: /etc/cups/printers.conf is used to create the file [01:01] moncapitane: well /etc/passwd- is a backup of /etc/passwd [01:02] passwd- is from 2 minutes before passwd was generated and there isn't a shadow- [01:02] i don't have a printers.conf in my /etc/cups directory. [01:02] hi, I want to ask you a question... I will install Linux sometime, how do you advice me to use it? via LiveCD or in a different partition with dual boot?? [01:02] moncapitane: what is your question? [01:02] why virtualbox is broken? [01:02] anyone knows a fix? [01:02] on ubuntu 12.10 [01:02] sneezer: The usual way is dual-boot [01:03] jrib: I'm trying to reset passwords but i'm not able to input anything. Just gives authentication error [01:03] moncapitane: what did you mean by "fubar" exactly when you said passwd and shadow were fubar? [01:04] dr_willis: the other thing thats not right is when i /etc/network/inferfaces restart i get the following error ioctlsiocsiwencodeext]: invalid argument [01:04] there isn't any entries in passwd or shadow that had the hash for the passwords. Its just x [01:04] jrib: fucked up beyond all recognition [01:04] @genii-around thanks, I will do that... just to be sure I was doing the right way. I want to explore and learn more about linux [01:04] is there a way to fully rebuild the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files? [01:04] moncapitane: you're being too vague. [01:04] moncapitane: from your backup [01:05] iceroot: no backups on the server [01:05] i'm not the one who built it. [01:05] how can i uninstall the LPR driver? [01:05] moncapitane: what ubuntu version is this anyway? [01:05] 10.04 LTS [01:05] moncapitane: you could use a live-cd create a user and set the password "foobar" copy the hash and put it in your broken passwd [01:05] moncapitane: so your shadow file had "x" for passwords? Are you sure? [01:06] in the shadow of course.. [01:06] iceroot: tried that, didn't work to log in after I put it in shdow [01:06] shadow* [01:06] anyone else got a bit of knowhow debugging wifi setups? [01:06] !ask | F3Speech [01:06] F3Speech: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:07] hi all [01:08] here's what i've concluded. ubuntu told me there was a missing printer driver. so i downloaded it from the brother site, but my model is the dcp-7030 and i got the LPR's rpm for the dcp-7040. i deleted /etc/printcap and installed the correct rpm, but it still says "missing driver". [01:08] adfk: have you checked the !printing factoid? [01:08] !printing [01:08] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu === dankest|away is now known as dankest [01:08] is anyone familar with a download manager called GetJet? [01:09] BlueNeXuS: just ask your question; if someone knows the answer they will help you [01:09] it's giving he issues.. [01:09] adfk: you know that ubuntu is not using rpm? [01:10] When I sudo /etc/network/inferfaces restart I get the following error ioctl[siocsiwencodeext]: invalid argument can any on help debug this? I also have a maybe related problem that my wifi adaptor will only connect after I've rebooted my router any help would also be apreciated on this. [01:10] It cane preinstalled on this ubuntu. and when i try to dowload anything, from any of my broswers it tells me to wait until the current downlooad finishes because it can not downnload more than one file at a time with that version.. However.. it does that even if its the only one downloading.. hence. i can not download anything at all [01:11] I've checked to see if it was a broswer addon and it is now.. I can not find it withing the installed software list eiteher to remove it [01:11] well i installed the cups rpm successfully. [01:11] and ideas? [01:11] cups start/running, process 3727 [01:11] adfk: erm, you already had cups... how did you install the cups rpm? [01:11] F3Speech: that is a normal config file and not an init-script [01:12] i installed the LPR driver instead. [01:12] F3Speech: also ubuntu is using upstart, which means "sudo service networking restart" instead of "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [01:12] BlueNeXuS: how did you install ubuntu? [01:12] adfk: why you are using rpms? [01:12] it's installed as a vm from an .iso [01:12] adfk: cups is in the normal ubuntu repos [01:12] because i didn't see the .debs on the site... [01:12] adfk: are you sure you are using ubuntu? [01:12] that i'm sure of. [01:13] whats the best way to figure out what is causing a high system load? top doesn't show the culprit, its all at 0% [01:13] adfk: you dont have to go to websites to download software, use "sudo apt-get install packagename" [01:13] Freeder: even %wa? [01:13] BlueNeXuS: ask the provider of the .iso then. I have never heard of getjet [01:13] Freeder: if it's all at 0% then there is no high system load [01:13] iceroot: i did mean init.d sorry, when i /etc/init.d/networking restart i get the error [01:14] if i could find it to unstall it and let the broswers do their own downloading that'd be great [01:14] F3Speech: use the service command [01:14] but thanks jrib [01:14] BlueNeXuS: I would not trust such an .iso. Who knows what else is on that thing [01:14] sorry the off-topic but i'm struggling right now with webchat, which irc client do you guys advise me? [01:15] sneezer: try xchat [01:15] hrmm.. i suppose i could try installing another download manager and let it set to default [01:15] sneezer: try xchat for example, easy to use [01:15] iceroot: what command is that? [01:15] BlueNeXuS: why don't you use the official ubuntu iso? [01:15] F3Speech: also ubuntu is using upstart, which means "sudo service networking restart" instead of "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [01:15] Thanks, can I use it in Ubunto? [01:15] sneezer: yes [01:15] jrib: uptime shows a high load. [01:16] Thank you, and happy new year every one ;) [01:16] sneezer: you will find xchat in the software center or by using "sudo apt-get install xchat" [01:16] Freeder: and what is a "high load"? [01:16] iceroot, not familiar with %wa ? [01:16] 8 [01:16] Freeder: how much cores? [01:17] 1 [01:17] Freeder: ok then 8 is high, could you paste the first lines from top?

[01:19] iceroot: yes followed the wiki [01:19] F3Speech: which wiki is suggesting to edit /etc/network/interfaces to have wifi on a desktop system? [01:19] vlanx, what dist? [01:19] im on server [01:20] vlanx, oops, did you figure it out [01:20] F3Speech: ah ok, so a server without the network-manager way [01:20] iceroot: yes [01:20] F3Speech: could you paste your /etc/network/interfaces?

So i replace libflashplayer.so like the ubuntu forum said to do and now I am hanging on reboot. I have been having no problems until I replaced that file. I have attempted recovery console and livecd and then replacing the file with the original but nothing still hangs. I have even removed quiet splash and replaced with nomodeset and there are no errors. [01:23] phpguy: where exactly did you put the file? [01:23] lol [01:23] /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [01:24] phpguy: where exactly is it hanging? [01:24] just replacing that file would not cause it not to boot [01:24] Yeah, I don't see the connection. [01:25] as soon as the splash screen comes up or when nomodeset it hangs as soon as it the blinking line comes up. That doesn't even blink. [01:25] phpguy: recovery mode boots ok? [01:25] jrib YES SIR [01:26] Every time I attempt to boot teamviewer it gives me this error and refuses to boot, http://dropfuse.com/1360 [01:26] I'm going to boot this 12.10 next to BackTrack5 on my Thinkpad. === dankest is now known as dankest|away [01:26] jrib also tried resume still hangs with no errors just an fyi [01:26] Hmm, an SSL error. [01:26] phpguy: what do you mean by "tried resume"? [01:27] How can I see if my hard drive is sata, raid or ata on ubuntu please? [01:27] jrib from Recovery mode [01:27] some utility not found... [01:27] very strange [01:27] recovery mode menu* [01:27] phpguy: did you do anything else other than replace that flash file? [01:27] he had to off, before he replaced the file [01:27] seeqwell: tried the "disk utility" ? [01:27] s/of/off [01:28] no I had been coding on my ftp server all day but that was remote. [01:28] thanks Slart [01:28] so, i'm reading through this asus motherboard manual and come across the usb 3.0 section. it's got 4 usb 3.0 ports on the board the back panel and 1 header for usb 3.0 on forward ports. it says though, that usb 3.0 is only supported in windows due to limitations set forth by intel for the chipset ports and asmedia for the usb 3.0 controller ports; can someone shed some light on this? true or not? [01:28] iceroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1490404/ as requested [01:29] the intel chipset in question is the Z77; and i'm mainly wondering, are those ports going to be dead when used with Ubuntu, or can they be made to work like usb 2.0? [01:29] Septima: which asus motherboard is it? === dankest|away is now known as dankest [01:29] Slart: P8Z77-V LE [01:29] If it is true, its just a driver issue. === slank is now known as slank_away [01:31] the z77 was originally compatible with windows, but it appears it works fine with linux now [01:31] Septima: I have an older asus motherboard (formula 4) and usb 3 works nicely here.. or .. I'm not getting doppler-shifted with speed.. but it seems to be working alright [01:32] phpguy: well as others said, replacing that file certainly shouldn't have anything to do with the issue you are having now. Have you tried booting an earlier kernel or looking for interesting things in /var/log/? [01:32] n0yd: did you find something on it? [01:32] i haven't had any luck finding anything on it [01:33] Septima, nothing you couldnt find by googling [01:33] jrib I have tried booting an earlier kernel and it still hangs. So I am sure the kernel is fine. as to the logs I am looking now [01:33] z77 is a pretty common chipset [01:34] anybody know how to edit iCall files? [01:34] hello all, i am having an issue where suddenly my ubuntu box stops booting after the message "Checking battery state" and I am seeing online that one cause may be I need to reinstall my graphics drivers. only problem is, i have intel graphics card, how can i reinstall the drivers for it? [01:34] i get a upgrade error [01:34] phpguy, so recovery doesnt actually boot then? [01:34] nope I can get it to console and thats it [01:34] well, that is booting.... [01:34] lspci shows this: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [01:35] does anyone know how to reinstall the drivers for the Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller? [01:35] n0yd no not when you drop to root console in a read only system [01:36] I did not mean to imply that it booted to console. I have to select drop to root console from the recovery menu. [01:36] can someone say something with my nick in it? am testing something. [01:36] percent20, [01:37] !test | percent20 [01:37] percent20: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [01:37] sweet. thanks guys. worked like a charm :) [01:37] somsip: thanks for letting me know about that. === StephBot is now known as worm [01:38] anyone here know how to reinstall the drivers for an intel graphics card? [01:38] brb searching for something [01:38] ezrafree, what are you looking at online, first of all [01:39] n0yd: how do you mean? [01:39] what website told me it may be a graphics driver issue, you mean? [01:39] yes [01:39] n0yd: ubuntuforums.org [01:39] '.... [01:39] ok great [01:40] Can anyone else look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1490404/ spot any problems while iceroot gets back, thanks. [01:40] What..... Article [01:40] they said because it stopped right after the "checking battery state" message that it's probably grpahics drivers because that's when the drivers are loaded next [01:40] n0yd: i'd have to search and find it, they were using nvidia drivers unlike me, one sec [01:40] I'm confused about the information on the new Ubuntu Phones, will we be able to use Ubuntu Mobile OS this year, or we have to wait for phones next year? [01:40] ezrafree, ya, i doubt that is your issue [01:40] oh no here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859820 [01:40] dont waste your time [01:41] n0yd: okay, any other thoughts on what i could look at it to determine the exact issue? [01:41] i'm still trying to figure out where i can buy a ubuntu tv [01:41] i've checked any logs i could think of but nothing yet [01:41] anyone know where i can get more information about Ubuntu Phones and TV? [01:42] now i get a second error, immediately after "Checking battery state" that says ata2.00: SError: { HostIn 10B8B } [01:42] that, i believe, is an issue with my seagate 2TB drive [01:42] not sure if they are related though [01:42] I want text boot but gui after boot, So I see messages during boot, and at the end of boot the gui starts up. I have the grub default cmdline set to "", but I just see a blank screen now until the gui starts up [01:43] hrm I guess I may just have to try reinstalling ubuntu heh [01:43] clearly i messed something up real good [01:43] no idea [01:43] ugh. Well this upgrade hasn't gone well so far. Didn't intent to do a fresh install but I'm basically doing that now since one of my attempts at getting grub going again resulted in my user account being nuked. [01:44] I guess I'll find out just how good backintime is at backups.. [01:44] :-/ === hanthana is now known as danishka === danishka is now known as hanthana === dankest is now known as dankest|away === dankest|away is now known as dankest [01:48] anyone here compiled mame before? === nosrepa is now known as aperson [01:50] redderhs: im sure people have, what is your real question? [01:50] My question is how can I apply the No Nag- High Score patch to the source code [01:51] i have a question.. [01:51] is there a way to have text boot but gui after boot, So I see messages during boot, and at the end of boot the gui starts up. I have the grub default cmdline set to "", but I just see a blank screen now until the gui starts up [01:52] can anyone tell me if ubuntu runs good on a nokia n900? [01:55] wanna kno, does ubuntu run well on a nokia N900? === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [01:56] n0yd ok it is a lightdm and kdm conflict for some reason it is hanging and terminating lightdm with sigkill and that is where it is hanging. I remember installing kdm but I thought I had purged lightdm but even if I didn't there shouldn't be a conflict. === Oni_ is now known as onimo [01:59] anybody who knowz, does ubuntu run well on a nokia N900? [01:59] idk [02:00] who does kno? [02:01] wow... loads of users... yet epicly quiet in here [02:01] I would check a Nokia N900 developer community [02:01] That seems like a more localized source for your information [02:02] Is it possible to have grub recognize three different operating systems on 3 different 128GB SSDs? Right now I am hot swapping SSDs on the top of my pc tower and I would like to put all three of them inside and just have grub choose which OS/SSD to boot at startup [02:02] hi guys, I have a question about permissions: I have an htdocs directory for apache that belongs to lampp:www, but I want it writable by my user. How do I achieve this without changing the owner of the directory? === dankest is now known as dankest|away [02:03] hellslinger: add yourself to www group and log back in to make the changes take affect [02:03] yup, checking if someone's responsive there, good tip! [02:03] hellslinger, i'm a noob, but i think I know the answer to your question. Add your user to the same group as lampp:www then change permissions to allow group members to write [02:04] shoot, i was too slow [02:04] ahh, had to log myself back in, thanks, CyclicalReality and somsip [02:06] anyone here running steam/l4d2? [02:08] When Upgrading ubuntu, I get questions to replace or keep a file. Like smb.conf ? Very subtle differences. If I don't know for sure is there a "SAFE" answer ? [02:10] HowdyDoody : backup your /etc/samba/smb.con file [02:10] smb.conf* [02:11] HowdyDoody : you could then replace and if needed restore the old one [02:12] ok - cp smb.conf smb.conf.114 good enough or do I need to put in diff directory? [02:13] HowdyDoody : nope ... that should work fine [02:13] Great, thanks [02:13] you're welcome [02:15] where did the menu bar go in nautilus for gnome 3.6? :( how do i access my folder settings now? [02:16] how do I change the default run level (/etc/inittab does not exist) [02:17] acovrig: why do you want to? [02:17] jrib: my default run level is 2 and I want 5. [02:17] acovrig: yes, but why? [02:17] since ther really is no runlevels with upstart [02:17] !runlevel [02:17] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [02:18] level 5 will be identical to 2 [02:18] !Upstart [02:18] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:18] then how do I startx by default? [02:18] acovrig: by default you have lightdm installed and it gets started automatically [02:18] acovrig: lightdm service does that if its installed [02:19] this is why we were asking why you wanted runlevel 5 ;) [02:19] lightdm, gdm, kdm, other login managers haaandle that [02:19] anyone know how to access nautilus settings in gnome 3.6? [02:20] taofd: doesn't it have "preferences" in its menu somewhere? [02:20] dr_willis: when I boot I only get a cli, I can then run startx, but how do I have this happen automatically? [02:20] acovrig: how did you install ubuntu? [02:20] taofd: open a regular nautilus window and check the global menu [02:20] acovrig: innstall lightdm, gdm, or some other login manager [02:21] acovrig: whis is a server install? [02:21] jrib: if I remember server install, then decided to use it as a desktop as well so apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:21] acovrig: what ubuntu version? [02:21] Slart: i'm using gnome3, i think the global menu thing is a unity specific concept [02:21] taofd: ah.. sorry.. missed that === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:21] taofd: ive seens ways to use it with gnome3/shell but never tried it === ericab_away is now known as ericab [02:22] making some progress, some errors gone other appear :) wpa-supplicatnt[728]: Authentercation with aa:bb:cc:dd:ff timed out. Where should I look to debug this? thanks. [02:22] Slart: np, i'm honestly stumped lol i know they did a major overall in 3.6 for nautilus, but i assume there's still someway to access some of the settings… (hopefully) [02:23] F3Speech: sounds like the router is not responding fast enough. [02:23] jrib: 12.04 (I installed it in a guess vbox,then dd'd it to a physical system [02:23] acovrig: ubuntu-desktop should have pulled in lightdm. Check if lightdm is installed [02:23] taofd: I run gnome with gnome shell on my laptop.. but I can't really remember if I changed the preferences from somewhere else.. [02:24] having a little bit of a strange problem with 12.10 [02:24] jrib: also, how do I reset the network interfaces (to remove the vbox ones and enable the physical ones) [02:24] what do i need to enable for apache2 to work with .cgi/php [02:24] When I plug in my headphones, the option appears in sound settings, but no sound is played [02:24] Slart: are you using the built in gnome-shell or the one from the gnome ppa? [02:25] jrib: apt-get says lighted is the newest version. [02:25] taofd: on that computer I'm running archlinux with, I suppose, the regular/standard gnome shell [02:25] acovrig: so now you should figure out why it doesn't start. Does it start ok if you run "sudo service lightdm start"? [02:26] jrib: yes [02:26] haroo~ [02:27] acovrig: check /etc/default/grub to be sure you are not using 'text' mode also [02:27] jrib: should I run update-rc.d? [02:27] acovrig: no, update-rc.d wouldn't do much [02:27] Can anyone help me with my sound settings? My headphones appear in sound settings, but no noise comes out of them [02:27] acovrig: What's problem? [02:28] :Setting to alas driver? apt-get install alsa* [02:29] apt-get with wildcards can get ... ozerzelous sin what it installs [02:29] Slart: this is what the new nautilus looks like in gnome 3.6 http://worldofgnome.org/uploads/2012/10/nautilus-700x437.png [02:29] taofd: ah.. yes, now I remember.. you click on the Files icon in the top bar.. or right click.. [02:30] taofd: the one next to Activities [02:30] jaehun: http://pastebin.com/prhdmiE7 [02:30] dylan : u can not install libasound2 [02:30] Slart: OH! Thanks, i completely missed it… i'm on a mac so two finger touch is kind of wonky in virtualbox [02:31] i think apt-get install alsa-oss only installing to u [02:31] taofd: I just remembered that I had the same problem when I installed it.. took me a while to find it as well [02:31] jaehun: what does that mean? It's a pretty fresh install [02:31] I think?. [02:31] jaehun: So what do I do for a solution? [02:32] 'apt-get install libesd0 libasound2 alsa-oss' [02:32] alas application using to sound for ur headphone [02:32] jaehun: okay. it's running [02:32] jaehun: finished. Now what, reboot? [02:33] dylan : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting <-- [02:33] look at that plz.. :) [02:34] Ubunto is now #1 article in CNN News pulse. I remember long time ago, I used to work at Microsoft in the Windows dev team, and Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer came to the lunch meeting and gave there big pitch about the release of windows 2000. One of the tings Bill or Steve said "Linux is not a threat" I think I was the only one shaking my head :) [02:35] http://money.cnn.com/2013/01/02/technology/mobile/ubuntu-smartphone-linux/ [02:35] haryv: that's great, but please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [02:35] jaehun: aside from booting into cli (lightdm not starting), how do I purge old network interfaces and detect new ones? [02:35] Np :) [02:35] ill belive it when i can get my hands on one.... [02:35] ~amazon [02:36] Could someone trigger the bot response for amazon ads? [02:36] !adlens [02:36] acovrig: shouldent be any need to, [02:36] If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ [02:36] acovrig: ifconfig should list them all [02:36] does anyone want to run to the store for me and pick up some nose spray? jw [02:36] acovrig, hmm? r u wanna new network dhcp? [02:36] dr_willis: it gets annoying to wait 60 seconds for network configuration on every boot though... [02:37] apt-get nosespray... [02:37] jaehun: I installed in a xbox, then dd to a physical drive, so theres a new set of interfaces [02:37] acovrig: sounds like you should have just done a clean install instead of converting aa vbox image [02:37] When Ubuntu does an automatic update, my box doesn't boot in the new kernel.The kernel that works is -23, and the 12.04 LTS updates are up to -35! I'm missing something... === IAmNotARobot is now known as shoesyay [02:37] check the /etc/network/interface file. [02:37] acovrig: you have removed any vbox guest addations? [02:37] Who's Mark Shuttleworth and why are people listening to such a bullshit blog? [02:37] cat /etc/network/interface [02:38] dr_willis: yea, but I did a vbox install while waiting for the physical parts to arrive. I didn't install the vbox add ons. [02:38] acevrig : If u not insert dhcp? u need edit interface file. [02:38] hi ubuntu fan [02:39] Xabter nice attitude [02:39] acovrig: from what ive seen so far- sounds like its a very wonky install. [02:39] acovrig, plz.. show to /etc/network/interfaces file. [02:39] If u waana dhcp? blow example? same to make it. [02:39] auto eth0 [02:39] iface eth0 inet dhcp [02:39] OerHeks: thanks..? [02:39] jaehun: /etc/network/interfaces has no reference to virbr0, but ifconfig shows it [02:40] hm.... [02:40] It's virtual box? [02:40] virbr0 is if you have vbox server installed i thought.. [02:40] Xabster, Mark Shuttleworth is the fouder of canonical/ubuntu [02:40] acovrig, I think? u check this web page. [02:40] http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking [02:40] okay, what about the 2nd part of the question? [02:40] i think i got a virbr0 here and this setup has never been in a vbox. but it runs vbox [02:41] dr_willis: its if u use the host-only interface. I heard something about /etc/udev/rules/.d, is there something about that? [02:41] why my ipw2200 is eth1 [02:41] acovrig, http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/libvirt.html [02:41] check it plz.. acovrig [02:41] acovrig: must be somthing ive never used then [02:41] nearst: what do you expect it to be? [02:42] where does ifconfig get it's list of interfaces? [02:42] When Ubuntu does an automatic update, my box doesn't boot in the new kernel.The kernel that works is -23, and the 12.04 LTS updates are up to -35! I'm missing something... [02:42] acovrig, look at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#bridging [02:42] u need bridge-utils [02:42] dr_willis, just wonder. hehe [02:42] hmm? Z?z?z.. [02:43] nearst: wlan, or eth0 or other names. depends on the driver the wifi device is using [02:43] ????? ?? ????? [02:43] gah.. sage.. after 194 minutes of compiling it just errors out with a "error 1" [02:43] Slart: why are you compiling :) [02:43] Slart, wow.. [02:43] dr_willis, i prefer wlan1, bcoz my rt2800usb is wlan0 [02:43] jaehun: I don't need to bridge interfaces, just 'uninstall' old ones and 'install' new ones [02:44] Slart, try with make -j4 [02:44] nearst: different drivers can use different names [02:44] dr_willis: sorry missed your comment before, turned off my qos to might be affecting it but while there got me thinking many duel banding isnt supported? so changed it back to 20Hz and testing now, thanks for reply [02:44] dr_willis, yeah. maybe. [02:44] running /etc/init.d/networking restart is taking a while... [02:44] i dont recall a usb wifi dongle ever using eth* [02:44] yes... [02:44] jrib: because sage is a weird package.. they end up packaging everything.. so it's a huuge download every time they do an update.. it's actually easier to just update the source and just recompile the bits that changed.. when the compiling part works, that is =) [02:44] internal wifi cards i have seen use eth* [02:44] acovrig, and? [02:44] nearst: -j 4 ... will try [02:44] nothing? [02:45] Slart: I just use the binaries [02:45] nearst: or.. -j4, sorry [02:45] Slart, -j4 just fine. depends on your processor core [02:45] jrib: mm.. I blame archlinux.. I have to keep versions matched with my work-laptop [02:45] jaehun: why is it taking so long to restart networking? [02:45] acovrig: i have the same problem, but until im putting it down to have no eth0 connected? [02:46] acovrig, I think? ur networks problem.. dhcp...

I'm a newbie. sorry for the novel of a question. does anyone have a solution?- I have a newly custom-built cpu that I successfully loaded with Ubuntu 12.10 and upgraded to the latest kernel. The OS works great, no issues whatsoever with booting or connecting with the wireless network. However, I am still needing to set up the drivers for some of the components. [03:03] It has an ASUS P8z77-V PRO motherboard installed and I am trying to utilize the Setup.exe from the MB Support CD in order to access the exclusive features of the MB. Of course, this motherboard/Setup is only “Windows 7 ready”. I have downloaded the “Wine Windows Program Loader” which has helped me to access some files on the MB Support CD, but the Setup.exe is still having error. [03:03] By clicking on the Setup.exe (or dragging into the Terminal and hitting Enter) an error message comes up: [03:03] -AUSUHWIO.DLL- ! : “Can't Open Kernel Mode Driver ASUSHWIO.sys” [03:03] Clicking 'OK' : [03:03] REX_746: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:16] is there anyway to just un-install ALL of the audio stuff and re-install it? [03:16] guys I have a dekstop Pc and a lap top [03:16] when connecting samba [03:16] and trying to play some movies from my desktop it says something about smb protocol...

[03:22] hellslinger: nope. could ask in #compiz could be the plugin has been removed/renamed [03:22] hmm [03:22] dr_willis, , thank you [03:22] that makes a sense [03:23] I`ll do some research now [03:23] thanks a lot :) [03:24] HeKToN : samba employs SMB to implement network shares [03:25] whats the best command to shutdown a server with? halt, shoutdown, poweroff?

I've ruled out it being a hardware problem. What can I do?A [03:29] dylan, buy a new one? [03:29] nearst: buy a new what. compuer?!?! [03:29] computer* [03:30] My headphones work, and the jack works. It's a software issue [03:30] dylan, define whats not working. mic output itself? did you check in terminal with alsamixer and see it in pavucontrol? [03:30] oic. try set using alsa-mixer? [03:30] Tazy: Nothing is muted in alsamixer, I tried setting it with alsa. what is pavucontrol? [03:31] pulse audio control panel [03:31] How do I access that? [03:31] pavucontrol in terminal [03:31] probably install it first? === sharky2 is now known as sharky [03:31] not installed, let me install it [03:32] Tazy: Okay, it's installed and open [03:32] on an upgrade initramfs-tools failed to configure as detailed in this launchpad bug: [03:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/829581 [03:32] Ubuntu bug 829581 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [Undecided,Confirmed] [03:33] can I just re-run the configuration step manually? I suspect it was because the /boot partition ran short of space. === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [03:33] dylan, check the input setting there, maybe switch inputs once back and forth also in alsamixer you need to unmute maybe input and something.. audio is messy [03:34] why am I playing with inputs? [03:35] dylan, dident you said mic input is not working? o.o [03:36] Tazy: no, headphone output is not working [03:36] dylan, duh... so its showing up as devices tough in pavucontrol? [03:36] yes [03:37] I know the jack works [03:37] I tested it on a LiveCD 5 minutes ago [03:37] dylan, then it should be as simple to just change uhm default device or for a single program to send to headphones/device [03:37] none of that is working [03:39] it wasworking a few days ago [03:39] how I can delete from terminal a ${folder} ? [03:39] and basically what are such folders? === dankest|away is now known as dankest [03:40] alex285: rm 'specialnames' [03:40] note the single quotes [03:40] alex285: rmdir folder (if empty) or rm -rf folder (if has contents you want to delete, but be careful as not reversable) [03:40] thanks Tazy , whats the differance between shutdown -H and -P ? [03:40] alex285: oh - like with spaces in the name? [03:41] ive never seen a folder named ${somthing} befor... sounds like a bash script messed up [03:41] dr_willis, that didnt remove it [03:41] dylan just messing around with those settings in both apps might fix it somehow, i had my soundcard to work after i muted and unmuted it [03:41] whats the exact name? [03:41] and the exact command you used [03:41] alex285, it might be possible to rm *blabla* instead of $blabla$ (use with caution) [03:41] dr_willis, ${prefix} [03:41] Is there a known problem with sound cards right now? I just rebooted my computer (a couple times) and my sound doesn't work anymore [03:42] thats is the exactly name [03:42] F3Speech, -H Requests that the system be halted after it has been brought down and -P Requests that the system be powered off after it has been brought down ( see man shutdown) [03:42] that a file or directory? [03:42] erm, the puslseaudo volume control has a little bar in the settings that shows you how loud te sound that is playing is. that bar moves when stuff is playing [03:42] Tazy, thanx that did the trick! [03:43] dr_willis, was a directory [03:43] tab completion might escape things also [03:43] OerHeks: Thats what I read but im unclear as to the difference of hald and power off, as i thought halt did power off? [03:44] F3Speech, nope, halt keeps the system on. [03:44] F3Speech, shutdown --help might give more info [03:44] OerHeks: can you still ssh in etc after the system is halted i would assume all services have been stopped [03:45] Tazy: Just checked everything, nothing is muted or anything. I even toggled all the settings once or twice [03:45] OerHeks: im thining what would you want to halt and not reboot or shutdown? [03:45] I think my boot hangs at waiting for network configuration because it is trying to bring up an interface that doesn't exist, how do I fix this? [03:47] F3Speech, halt was used before ACPI (which today will turn off the power for you)*. It would halt the system and then print a message to the effect of "it's ok to power off now" [03:47] acovrig: or its an ipv6 issue. ;) it always gets blamed [03:47] before I decide to reboot (after having no success at all today with grub and booting), is there a way I can check to see if all of the packages the upgrade tried to install, have been installed without issue? [03:47] OerHeks: ahhhhhhhhh, tyvm, that make alot of sense :) [03:47] I know it barfed on initramfs-tools before [03:48] maybe a way to list the installation status of all packages? [03:49] hello [03:50] dr_willis: jfyi the problems i had with my wifi i believe was due to missing wpa_supplicant.conf and a small edit to my interfaces file to point to it outlined here http://blinker.net/2010/06/20/mac-mini-g4-homeserver-with-ubuntu-linux-10-04-wpa2/ but thank you for your help tonight.

[03:50] i have a new hp dv6-7013cl and i can't get my built in subwoofer to work .... i have snd-hda-intel loaded ... have tried different model= variables ... i can virtually get 6 channels but i still have no subwoofer [03:50] i have already googled the crap out of this for about 20 hours [03:50] dylan, you can still google for ppl with similar issue, i myself never had a usb headset. tough it might be crazy but there should be a .pulse folder in ~/ it fixed for me some issues as i deleted it (probably you want to just move this folder, and restart pulse / pkill pulse) [03:51] dr_willis: I removed everything but lo in /etc/network/interfaces and now it works fine, but I still don't like virbr0 in ifconfig, yet if I ifconfig virbr0 down, it disappears, why is it up to begin with (and how do I stop that)? [03:51] wondering if anyone has any ideas [03:53] devnull_, similar issue with X-Fi here. you can google jackd with pulseaudio ubuntu. and then loop an input via qjackctrl to subwoofer. (i suspect a ubuntu bug) [03:54] tazy .. that is an interesting way to do it ... i will check it out ... i think there is definately a bug [03:54] Tazy: I'm not seeing a .pulse folder [03:54] damn beats audio [03:55] dylan, folders with .at the beginning are hidden (prolly ctrl +h nows em) [03:55] idn't work [03:55] didn't* [03:56] devnull_, if you have subwoofer after switching speakers on the same music track then its a bug. [03:56] Tazy: cntrl+h did nothing [03:57] tazy .. i have no subwoofer at all atm ... im wondering if the sub is like an internal usb or something [03:57] found it [03:57] dylan, terminal: mv ~/.pulse ~/.pulse-old (reverse to restore...) [03:58] Tazy: did nothing [03:58] devnull_, anyhow you get better sound via jack and pulseaudio jack sink ;D plus you can use IDJC [03:58] anyone happen to know if there is a way that I can make 'k' & 'j' my up and down arrows in Ubuntus X windows [03:59] i mean, to do the same thing the up and down arrows do... scroll up or down [03:59] dylan if you killed pulseaudio it should restart and recreate the folder. if the headset wont work then its some other bug.. === ClumsyFairyQueen is now known as Celene_away [03:59] Tazy: I'm getting off.

The advantage of the LTS release is that it is supported for 5 years instead of the usual 18 months. But 12.10 has newer features and newer software [04:22] and 12.04 LTS >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes [04:22] LTS is a better choice. time wise. === ubuntu is now known as Guest66224 [04:23] Well, I'm working on a project for school, and I need to have the exact information about the difference between, 12.10 and the rest.

[04:46] and ideas? [04:47] davidhurwich: You have a wireless card that you need to use? [04:47] davidhurwich update and upgrade and restart pc [04:47] davidhurwich, as a last resort you could replace networkmanager with wicd [04:47] davidhurwich sudo aptget update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:47] update what? The dialogue box says the wireless driver is instaled [04:48] davidhurwich sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [04:48] Emanon: I can barely view Youtube videos as well, so I know it's a graphics issue [04:48] the video skips every half second so I barely see animation [04:48] dr_willis, i get this error when i try to install chrome [04:48] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2035108 [04:48] Ok, as you were then I just noticed that on my system.

[05:07] you have wifi but you are not getting signal on laptop [05:07] kslater, what do you need to do [05:07] couldn't he use iwscan or similar to see if he's got a working interface?

[05:17] my computer always crash [05:17] my net manger is set to "enable networking" [05:17] grm what is intel 420 chip ? [05:18] davidhurwich, okay ... and it doesn't say enable wireless ? [05:18] it says enable Networking, but my network does not come up [05:18] His wireless driver needs loaded/installed [05:19] I'm too new to assist with that, though.

[05:23] maybe not. I don't know. [05:23] Anyone have issues with partitioned HDD running 12.04 and Win8? [05:23] davidhurwich, im just guessing .. i had a similar card to yours ... i think it was like b43 or b3 or something like that [05:24] its b43 [05:24] insmod b43 and see if your networking comes up [05:24] i believe ubuntu has a way to use these drivers in the additional drivers section of that area where you pick package repos. i dunno what its called [05:25] software sources ... will give you access to proprietary drivers ... but b43 is open [05:25] it will be there [05:25] how do i access software sources? [05:25] 12.10 software sources tool. has the addational drivers tab [05:25] grm ... if there is a model number for your computer ... do a google search for .. your model and ubuntu x.x [05:25] woohoo! Reboot worked fine. [05:25] oh, 12.04 doesnt have it, dr_willis? [05:25] On to 12.04.1 I guess [05:25] search for it via the dash [05:26] 12.04 has jockey-gtk [05:26] davidhurwich, it should be in system settings [05:26] oh yes .. jockey [05:26] hiya [05:26] or just apt-get install what you need [05:26] no software sources [05:26] grm ... it isi possible the issue you are having has already been taken care of [05:26] This is probably the first time I've been on IRC in maybe…15 years? [05:27] davidhurwich, do you have ubuntu software center ? [05:27] sarahr :) [05:27] yes [05:27] davidhurwich, load it .. then i think it is like edit -> software sources [05:27] geeing out on ubuntu brought me back [05:27] "geeking" [05:27] davidhurwich, though ... 12.04 might not have the tab for drivers [05:27] is the channel just for support, or is this a place to nerd out, too?

[05:29] davidhurwich, if that doesn't have a drivers tab ... do what dr_willis has explained with jockey-gtk [05:29] kslater, unfortunately ... the applications have to be specificaly written now to be on that bar i believe [05:29] i have a a ubuntu software, other software, updates, authentication, statsitics [05:30] davidhurwich, okay you will need jockey-gtk then [05:30] ran the command [05:30] devnull_: I used to have a status app that would show load factor, network traffic, cpu load and memory. Not available any longer? [05:30] it opened additional drivers [05:30] kslater ... it is annoying .. a lot of stuff that used to sit in the notification area no longer will [05:30] kslater .. i have that ... i will give you the name .. hold on [05:30] it says my broadcom STA wireless driver is activated [05:31] indicator-multiload [05:31] davidhurwich, okay .. well that is a step in the right direction [05:31] davidhurwich ... ifconfig ... does wlan0 show up ? [05:32] davidhurwich: connect it to the internet using ethernet, and try sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [05:32] sailormoon ....... fantastic idea [05:32] kslater sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload [05:32] kslater, there aren't as many indicator in the repos any more ... a lot of them have to be gotten from outside [05:33] devnull_, i am sorry. 12.04LTS, and model might be Inter Corp. [05:33] i use gnome classic, like a noob. [05:33] anyone know how to get bonding to work with netmanager for wlan nics? [05:33] askubuntu.com had a big list of indicator applets [05:34] 32 bits [05:34] i only use indicator-multi and indicator-cpufreq-selector [05:34] grm ... are you still having crashing issues ? you can always check the logs to see what went wrong .. that might help pinpoint what needs to be adjusted [05:35] ubuntu does what it can to match drivers but sometimes you need to change them [05:36] or like me right now ... tyring to get my 5 speakers on my laptop working correctly ... odd driver issues [05:36] devnull_, Yes, thank you. I try to download a new drives. [05:37] cant get my subwoofer to work [05:37] devnull_: thanks for that. It's surprising how much I look at that thing during a normal day [05:37] kslater, me too ... that was one of the first things i installed [05:37] davidhurwich: still with us? [05:37] for me it is because i got a new laptop so i want to see how it handles and how the load is [05:38] sorry [05:38] i uninstaleld the driver [05:38] and reboot [05:38] and now it seems to find the network. weird [05:38] cool [05:38] maybe he should get sshd up and running and allow someone to have a closer look. [05:38] davidhurwich try this an tell output [05:39] iwlist wlan0 scan [05:39] so if anyone has any ideas how to get my beats audio speakers under 4.1 profile in ubuntu 12.10 that would be great ... i have no subwoofer [05:40] it spit out a lot, anything particular you want? [05:40] the above command scan the wifi in range [05:40] that is good that it has output [05:40] yea [05:41] ok, yeah it did [05:41] maybe i had two drivers installed? [05:41] some type of conflict ... or the wrong order [05:41] it means you car is reading the signal [05:41] maybe thats why it didn't work until i uninstalled one [05:41] it means you card is reading the signal [05:41] devnull_: I actually like this one (indicator-multiload) better than the old version [05:41] hello [05:41] kslater, a lot more information in the drop down menu [05:42] davidhurwich try this [05:42] thanks for everyone help, i really appreciate it [05:42] kslater, if you have a cpu that changes frequency ... i suggest indicator-cpufreq-selector .. lets you adjust the governor [05:42] I think I borked my ubuntu box [05:42] no junior. i uninstalled my driver and now my network works :) [05:42] kaeza what happened ? ... and how does that make you feel ? :) [05:42] I have a dual core centrino [05:42] I uninstalled Unity and now I can't boot [05:42] iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -i "ESSID" [05:43] I have IceWM installed [05:43] kaeza what do you mean by can't boot ... don't get to the GUI to login ... or it won't get past the bios ? [05:43] how can I make Ubuntu use it?

[06:07] devnull_: /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs lists "linux-image-3.7.0-7-generic" and "linux-base" as the packages that triggered it, but i don't know why 'aptitude -y -q upgrade' would ever cause those packages to upgrade... that sounds like something dist-upgrade would do [06:08] devnull_: nope, i'm using 13.04 from here http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ [06:08] maqr ... they treat the kernel like any other piece of software ... when there is an update you get it [06:08] maqr ... gotcha [06:08] not sure how that cloud stuff works [06:09] devnull_: well, if there was a switch for aptitude that said "omit all packages tagged reboot-required", that would be ideal [06:09] it still doesn't make sense to do that === qos is now known as qos|away [06:09] do you not want the latest kernel ? === 21WAAA095 is now known as Matir [06:09] devnull_: i don't mind having it, but i can't reboot to get it [06:09] check http://www.ksplice.com/ for updating kernel without reboot [06:09] maqr .... well it will install the new one ... it will be available [06:10] what a strange requirement. ;) [06:10] i would imagine once that image gets booted it will have the new kernel [06:10] longrun: neat that it can be done, totally not what i need though :P === Albastos is now known as Albastos|off [06:11] hello want to format my flash drive how could i do [06:11] devnull_: it boots, then i run aptitude update/upgrade, then i ssh in and it tells me reboot required... so i'm assuming it's on the old kernel, which is fine too [06:11] maqr .. yes [06:11] devnull_: i guess i'll just leave it, it's not going to hurt anything [06:11] other than a silly message when i ssh in :P [06:11] but once that image does boot .. it should be on the new kernel [06:12] it'll never boot :P [06:12] im not sure how that actually works though ... it just boots an image ? does the image not have files that change in it [06:12] oh ... i think i get it now .... yea ... you will just constantly get that message about rebooting [06:12] devnull_: it loads the image from something called an 'ami', Amazon Machine Image, which gives you pretty stock working ubuntu install... then you fill in something called 'user-data' which runs through 'cloud-init' (also an ubuntu initiative), which essentially runs any shell scripts or whatever that you'd want [06:13] okay [06:13] devnull_: in my case, the first thing my cloud-init script does is a system update/upgrade, which is leaving me with this silly message about rebooting :) [06:13] btw you can omit those packages [06:13] nothing will truly upgrade or update without rebooting or restarting... the old version runs as long as that service restarted/rebooted.. [06:14] once after reboot/restart, then only the new versions starts working [06:14] i suppose i could just null out the /var/run/reboot-required stuff [06:14] you can just mask them i think [06:14] i can't find "System settings" on my Ubuntu 12.04 install. could I have uninstalled it? [06:14] longrun: ok, as long as i'm not in some half-way state, it's all goo [06:14] *good [06:14] hey guys. Any idea how to make an .sh on an external harddrive executable? [06:14] hello guys, how do i disable unity on ubuntu 12.10? [06:15] When I try to make it executable, it unchecks the option again [06:15] noiri ..chmod +x blash.sh [06:15] anyone know what i could try to look at to resolve this... my ubuntu box is stopping the bootup process after it says "checking battery state..." [06:15] noiro: what type of file system is it? [06:15] excervo: install and use a different desktop is one way [06:15] ezrafree, might be a apci problem ? ... not sure about that though [06:16] hendry .. i don't think so [06:16] maqr: it's a simple sh file. devnull: it doesn't work [06:16] devnull_: googling it pulls some ubuntu forums that seem to imply it might be a graphics driver problem but i have an intel card, so i don't think there's a way to reinstall the drivers (or rather, there are no drivers really) [06:16] hendry ... gnome-control-center [06:17] noiro: i mean the file system of the disk, 'df' will show you [06:17] noiri .... sudo chmod +x script.sh [06:17] maqr: ntsf [06:17] It's a shared partition between my linux and windows partition [06:17] you dont chmod stuff on ntfs or vfaat [06:17] ezrafree, have you tried booting it in recovery or something ? [06:17] noiro: i think that's your problem, but i don't know what you're supposed to do about it :P [06:17] noiro .. is it ntfs ? [06:17] sh foo.sh or bash foo.sh [06:17] noiro: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-to-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition related probably [06:18] where would be a good log file to look in? [06:18] or mount the whold fs executable [06:18] ezrafree, dmesg [06:18] devnull_: what can't dash find these basic things? [06:18] I dont' really need any protection on the partition, I just want all access to it [06:18] devnull_: no, i haven't tried that yet. actually i don't know how to get into recovery mode but i will google it [06:18] devnill: thx ill check dmesg too [06:18] hold LEFT SHIFT at boot [06:18] will give you grub menu [06:18] its annoying when every file is executable on vfat/ntfs [06:19] hendry, open a terminal and type in gnome- control and hit tab and see if it is listed [06:19] hendry, sorry .... gnome-con and hit tab [06:20] Any pro with kubuntu 12.10 atm? [06:20] im on 12.10 ... don't know if the system settings is a different named app on 12.04 [06:20] devnull_: is there a convenient way to prevent all 'linux-base' and 'linux-image-*' from updating? because this actually is going to drive me crazy :P [06:20] maqr ... yes i believe there is .... i think it is called "masking" [06:20] hmm, i don't see any docs about it [06:21] maqr .... Pinning maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:21] now, i generally don't insult entire channels, but this is the least-helpful linux distribution channel i think i've ever been in [06:21] dencrypt, maqr its pinning. not really something you want to do with kernels [06:21] devnull_, ^ [06:21] sorry dencrypt [06:21] maqr ... or "holding" [06:21] ah [06:21] !pinning | maqr devnull_ [06:21] maqr devnull_: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/225655/webcam-doesnt-work-in-ubuntu-12-10 [06:22] #centos [06:22] ubottu: does it support wildcards? [06:22] maqr: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:22] oh, right [06:22] maqr i think you want "holding" ... will hold it at current version [06:22] is there a 12.10 web cam issue? [06:22] witeshark ... depends on your cam and setup [06:22] devnull_: that's definitely what i want, but i'd have to make sure it's always linux-image-3.7.0-7-generic, i'd rather it supported a wildcard... i guess i can script it [06:23] my built in one works fine in 12.10 ... but it is a new laptop [06:23] devnull_, its pinning, not holding. [06:23] maqr .. well if you aren't updating the linux-image ... it shouldn't have a need to get the other support packages for the kernel .. like headers [06:23] devnull_, dell 1545 [06:23] devnull_: oh, i'll try pinning just that one and see what happens then [06:23] bazhang, the doc calls it Holding Packages [06:24] pinning is more specific to the distro it seems [06:24] holding locks the version of the software [06:24] witeshark ... did you google "webcam problem in 12.10 dell 1545" ? [06:24] devnull_: it doesn't like me trying to hold linux-base, it's probably some meta/pseudo/whatever package [06:25] hello [06:25] witeshark, if you can find out what device that your webcam is .. is it internal? external ? [06:25] devnull_, yes, now i have thanks [06:25] night all [06:25] i have a small annoying issue. my mouse moves past my screen to the right. is there a way to fix this? plz help [06:25] maqr ... that is possible ... i think bazhang might know more about it ... im just reading the doc [06:25] hi, I am using gnome3. installed indicator-cpufreq. how to enable it in gnome? when I execute the command "indicator-cpufreq". nothing happens. thanks. [06:26] tobe_, turn off dual output [06:26] sgo11, indicator-cpufreq-selector is the package you need for the notification area [06:26] devnull_: oh man... but i use an external screen because my laptop screen is cracked... [06:26] devnull_: you've got me going in the right direction, ty :) [06:27] tobe_, go into display settings and make sure it is only using one of your screens [06:27] devnull_, thanks a lot. I will install that one. does it mean indicator-cpufreq is for unity only? [06:27] maqr ... no probe .. and thanks bazhang [06:27] sgo11, no ... indicator-cpufreq is just like the backside of it i believe ... the actual indicator application is the -selector one .. i am in unity [06:28] hello anyone can help me to format my flash drive please [06:28] nextblove, format it to what ? [06:28] in command line [06:28] nextblove, use the disks application to do so [06:28] devnull_: wow i feel dumb now. i see the on off button everytime but its not really labeled... thanks [06:28] nextblove, http://askubuntu.com/questions/22381/how-to-format-a-usb-flash-drive [06:28] i said i want to format my flash drive in command line [06:28] oh okay [06:29] devnull_, with apt-cache search, I only can see "indicator-cpufreq". where is that selector package? if that is not in default repo, why does the default repo have indicator-cpufreq? weird. [06:29] sgo11, let me check ... what version of ubuntu ? [06:29] devnill, 12.04 [06:29] My rhythm box stopped playing last.fm any idea [06:29] nextblove, that link has a command line way of doing it [06:30] devnull_, ubuntu 12.04 [06:30] ok [06:31] hi need help [06:31] back === KaiSforza is now known as ^KaiSforza [06:31] sgo11, hehe ... let me remember how i got it === ^KaiSforza is now known as ``` [06:32] ubuntu does not boot showing black screen === ``` is now known as KaiSforza [06:32] By speed playing I mean none of the stations I make will play also I can go to the suite and the stations play just fine. [06:32] sgo11, from the command line do ... indicator-cpufreq and hit tab [06:32] devnull_: I was able to start IceWM, but forgot to ask how to connect to internet from command line [06:32] !nomodeset | b3nj [06:32] b3nj: 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 [06:32] kaeza, im glad you got in [06:32] kaeza, wireless ? [06:32] yes [06:33] devnull_, yeah, that command is installed already... I got exception: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.75" is not allowed [06:33] you might want to see if icewm has a network manager app [06:33] sgo11, is indicator-cpufreq-selector installed ? [06:33] OerHeks [06:34] devnull_: I looked all around the menus and found none [06:34] devnull_, I just apt-get install indicator-cpufreq. indicator-cpufreq-selector is just a command. [06:34] kaeza, how are you chatting right now ? [06:34] OerHeks [06:34] from Puppy Linux [06:34] sgo11, did you just install it and haven't rebooted ? [06:35] Wow puppy Linux in the house. [06:35] sgo11, try logging out and back in .. that app would not load for me till i had rebooted [06:35] devnull_, that's correct. I thought linux world didn't require reboot. that is windows world thing. [06:35] on Puppy I use wvdial [06:35] sgo11, not all the time [06:35] sgo11, usually a login and out will do it ... force X to reload [06:35] b3nj, just ask [06:35] devnull_, ok. ^_^ let me reboot... I have to reopen everything again. what a pity... [06:36] OerHeks, in grub i chose advanced options and ubuntu booted normally [06:37] b3nj, what 'advanced option' ? [06:37] Any thought on rhythmbox not playing last.fm [06:37] sgo11 .. just login and out first [06:37] ah dang he left [06:38] Guest59790, not at the moment [06:39] OerHeks, grub does not show up again [06:39] devnull: okay thank you. [06:39] b3nj, there are no advanced options besides recovery , previous kernels and memtest [06:40] OerHeks, advanced options for ubuntu [06:41] Guest59790, what version of ubuntu ? [06:41] Devnull: 12.04 x64 [06:42] OerHeks, when i choose advanced options for ubuntu i see ubuntu, with linux 3.5.0-21-generic, same as previous (recovery mode), ubuntu with linux 3.5.0-17-generic and same as previous (recovery mode) [06:43] Guest59790, try disabling the plugin .. closing rhythmbox ... reopen and reenable the plugin [06:43] That did not help. [06:44] devnull_, first, indicator-cpufreq-selector still gives me that error. but I just realized indicator-cpufreq is running at the bottom-right bar in gnome3. then I installed indicator-multiload, it's running at bottom-right bar as well. that bar is hidden in gnome3. very weird. I don't know how to call that bar. task bar? what I want is some applets/indicator in the top-right bar. how to do that in gnome3? thanks. [06:44] OerHeks, so when i choose ubuntu 3.5.0 generic it boots alright === HeKToN is now known as HeKToN|sleep [06:45] sgo11: checked the gnome-shell extensions web site? it has many for the top bar [06:45] dr_willis: yes, gimp has always worked for me but after the last couple of updates it does not anymore .... I get a seg fault when I try to open or save any picture [06:45] sgo11, i am using unity ... there is no bottom bar .. everything is in the upper right ... you have a "notification are" applet in your bottom panel ... if you remove it it might start using the correct spot .. if not try middle clicking on what you want and move it [06:46] dr_willis, got it. let me see. thanks a lot. the two indicators are for unity only then. [06:46] I created a new user this way : sudo useradd foo -m -s /bin/bash . Also set the passwd : sudo passwd foo. [06:46] OerHeks, so what do I do? [06:47] devnull_, sure. I think I will remove the two indicators and check gnome3 extensions suggested by dr_willis. thanks. [06:47] now if i do a : su foo and enter the password, the base directory is not /home/foo. [06:47] tuxtoti: adduser command may be easier to use [06:47] though /home/foo still exists. [06:47] dr_willis: ok. [06:47] hmm.. [06:47] ive never used useradd i ;) [06:47] VPN in kubuntu 12.10 ... does that require openssl libraries for the certificate or should that lib be installed already ? [06:48] dr_willis: yet, if I run it as root, it works [06:48] do i need to configure lampp before start? [06:48] WeThePeople, before starting what [06:48] eos_: try as a newly made user. if a new user works.. sounds like a app config issue [06:49] devnull, lampp [06:49] devnull_, lampp [06:49] WeThePeople, no i mean ... before starting what ... lampp is just an acronym [06:49] eos_: ive also seen where running stuff as root can cause config files in the users home to get made/owned by root which can goof things up [06:49] dr_willis: here is the log of the crash when launching from konsole http://paste.ubuntu.com/1490817/ [06:50] WeThePeople, where did you install linux to ? [06:50] help me, ubuntu does not boot showing black screen [06:50] devnull_, /opt [06:50] devnull_, localhost shows nothing [06:50] in chrome [06:50] !nomodeset | b3nj [06:50] b3nj: 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] dr_willis: I have tried removing all config files as well [06:51] WeThePeople, i dont understand what you are trying to do .... are you in linux ? [06:51] eos_: see if a newly made user works as a test [06:51] dr_willis, i boot ubuntu not for the first time [06:51] dr_willis: yes, this is what I am doing now [06:51] B3nj: have you tried a previous version? [06:51] devnull_, yes precise.. i want to get lampp to come up in a browser [06:51] WeThePeople, first of all ... stop saying LAMP === Teufelchen_ is now known as Teufelchen [06:52] devnull_: oh, it turns out i shouldn't even be upgrading the whole OS, i should be doing something called 'unattended-upgrades' [06:52] load a browser and go to localhost [06:52] devnull_, no [06:52] that what it is [06:52] Guest59790: i do not know what it is but when in grub i choose advanced options for ubuntu it shows 3.5 kernel and when i choose it ubuntu boots normally [06:52] do you mean LAMP or are you saying LAMPP [06:53] time to hit the sack. Thanks for the help and grins everyone. [06:53] night kslater [06:53] back [06:53] devnull_: it worked!! [06:53] kaeza, sweet [06:53] I'm now on ubuntu! [06:53] have to get some sleep as I have to visit the Dr. again tomorrow. [06:53] thank you so much! [06:54] devnull_, it xampp for Linux, localhost says error not found [06:54] np [06:54] B3nj have you some that and then checked for additional drivers for your video card? [06:54] hence lampp [06:54] now we all need to figure out devnull_'s problem where his subwoofer isn't working.. [06:54] and I also got rid of the global menu in the process ^_^ [06:54] WeThePeople, what are you trying to do ... stop saying LAMP [06:54] Guest59790: what do you mean?

HP notebook. Anyone know of any fixes for that? [06:56] kylescottmcgill, lampp comes with all of those [06:56] and more [06:56] WeThePeople, stop [06:56] Guest59790: well? [06:56] WeThePeople, what the hell are you trying to do ?? answer the question [06:57] dr_willis: still returns many errors but it does not crash anymore! [06:57] devnull_, as i stated get lampp to show up in the browser [06:57] WeThePeople, STOP saying LAMPP [06:57] lol [06:57] you mean apache2's default page, WeThePeople? [06:57] lampp is running and is returning a error not found in chrome [06:57] B3nj: you said that of you select advanced options it works correct? If so once in find the application that searches for additional drivers and see if there is one for your graphics card. [06:58] WeThePeople: please paste the link to the package you are using [06:58] WeThePeople: lamp can't run; it's not a program [06:58] dr_willis: what do you think? [06:58] heh, i wonder what the history of having 'unattended-upgrades' symlinked to 'unattended-upgrade' is [06:58] is this working? [06:58] LINK>>> http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#377 [06:58] maqr, good question [06:58] or, maybe lampp actually is a program launcher thingy, my bad [06:58] Thanks, ok DONT USE THAT, do it properly [06:58] WeThePeople, why don't you just install apache, mysql, php like everyone else does [06:59] ben_: I can't remember how to do it, but you could try restarting your audio service (pulseaudio, i presume) [06:59] devnull_, i have those installed [06:59] lampp [06:59] WeThePeople: I use xampp only in win... [06:59] go to the website [06:59] Guest59790: okay [06:59] can anyone see this message? [06:59] WeThePeople, exactly .... we all have LAMP ... you have LAMPP XAMPP which is something prepackaged i believe [06:59] Ailos, hi [06:59] Ailos: Yes [06:59] woo! [06:59] thanks, trying to figure out how pidgin works [06:59] WeThePeople: sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5 libapr1 libaprutil1 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libnet-daemon-perl libplrpc-perl libpq5 mysql-client-5.5 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 php5-common php5-mysql [07:00] WeThePeople, it is an acronym for the software [07:00] and what is the extra P for ? [07:00] jcuber, can you explain how I'd go about that please? I'm very poor in a terminal still. [07:00] devnull_: Perl [07:00] or Python [07:00] ahh [07:00] yea ... definately just install apache2 the normal way [07:00] kylescottmcgill: i'm new to linux - after that command, how to start the webserver daemon? [07:00] Apache will automatically start [07:00] if you need a control center there has to be one out there [07:00] once you have installed all of the above [07:01] as a auto-start service on boot? [07:01] mkay [07:01] type into your browser 127.0.0.1 [07:01] Xabster, apache2 should autostart if you have it installed [07:01] devnull_, here is the output>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1490840/ [07:01] B3nj: have you tried my suggestion yet?

[07:01] WeThePeople, you already have those services running [07:02] devnull_, yes [07:02] WeThePeople, STOP with the lampp stuff [07:02] made you say it [07:02] lol [07:02] WeThePeople: why are you installing/running things that way? use the normal ubuntu way [07:02] B3nj: yes [07:02] ben64, idk the norm [07:02] WeThePeople, hehe [07:02] WeThePeople: use the software center [07:02] Guest59790: but if i boot with advanced options it works well, so why do you think this is a driver problem [07:03] WeThePeople: we are trying to help you with the norm... lol Software Center isnt the norm when your install development packages :D [07:03] WeThePeople, ubuntu has many docs on getting a "AMP" setup [07:03] dr_willis: yet, I do not undertsand what is wrong with the other users configuration .... I would need all users to be allowed to use it. [07:03] !lamp [07:03] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[07:03] tasksel to select LAMP server [07:04] WeThePeople, im not trying to be hard on you ... im just trying to get you to understand that you probably should be doing this through the traditional ubuntu channel .. not outside sources [07:04] dulio: thats what the !lamp links to [07:04] Ben64: :) [07:04] dulio: you could do that too, ive been a web developer for a long time, so i remember all this stuff, plus i like to configure it my way [07:05] kylescottmcgill, i hear ya [07:05] Hi, I just googled to see if i could find a list of supported hardware - anyone got a link cause my results are way off [07:05] apt-get is the norm often even when you're not installing development packages [07:05] it's much faster [07:05] Xabster, supported hardware for what ? [07:05] and recommends the correct package when you get its name wrong [07:05] kylescottmcgill: yea, me,too. but i installed first time by tasksel --! [07:05] Xabster: have you seen https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ [07:05] WeThePeople, i would uninstall your XAMPP/LAMPP package of software [07:05] dulio: yeah fair point [07:06] devnull_: i'm considering replacing windows 7 on my home desktop with ubuntu 12.10 - i had problems in windows 7 with my quite new motherboards (network and sound didn't work) [07:06] i want to prepare for problems before i do anything [07:06] Xabster, grab a LIVE CD .. i mean DVD now ... and either put it on a DVD or usb drive and boot into it [07:06] kylescottmcgill: But I am not good at advanced options just like change mysql params. [07:06] right, installing makes no difference for drivers then i take it [07:06] Xabster, if things work .. i would say ubuntu supports your hardware .. though if you go through ubuntus docs they do have pages and pages about hardware compatibility [07:07] kylescottmcgill: You may help me somehow :) [07:07] i see, but i very much doubt it works, so i would have to try some drivers [07:07] Xabster: installing ubuntu makes it run faster, and you get better graphics drivers as well [07:07] Ben64, assuming there are drivers for my ATI card :) [07:07] dulio: defaults are normally pretty good, but with single application servers, you can tweak it to work more for you, and sift out cruft you dont need/want [07:07] Xabster, try the live cd [07:07] Xabster: there is a very high chance ubuntu will "just work" [07:07] eos_: i would check the config files and ownerships of the problem user [07:08] dulio: im always willing to lend a helping hand :) [07:08] Xabster, it is possible you may be missing some features .. but i would bet 90+ of your hardware will be supported out of the box [07:08] When I run 'users' in terminal, I see 'anthony' twice. When I run 'uptime', I see '2 users'. Why would this be? [07:08] dr_willis: which configuration file? I tried deleting .gimp on the users home dir but did not work .... any other relevant configuration files? [07:08] anth0ny: every instance of a login adds another [07:08] anth0ny: are you logged in twice? [07:08] in different TTY's? [07:09] kylescottmcgill: it would appear that I am logged in. I don't kow how/why [07:09] eos_: no idea. im not on a ubuntu box to look. and havent used gimp in months [07:09] kylescottmcgill: thx, I will learn more here. [07:09] anth0ny: run w in the terminal [07:09] Ben64: the real quesiton is, why are there two instances of login? [07:09] eos_: look for stuff owned by root for starters [07:09] it will tell you where are you logged in [07:09] anth0ny: open another terminal and try again [07:09] dr_willis: could not find anything really [07:09] bbl [07:09] dr_willis: thanks a lot! [07:10] kylescottmcgill: http://pastie.org/5614532 [07:10] kylescottmcgill: so, looks like Ubuntu is a user and then the terminal is another? [07:10] Ben64: ^ [07:10] anth0ny: i wouldnt worry about that, your Terminal has just 'logged you in' [07:11] TTY7 is GUI, everything is more or less encapsulated into TTY7 [07:11] anth0ny: ya [07:12] The real issue is that Ubunut12.04 seems to be running really slowly. I used to run Mint and before that, Ubuntu 11.04 and they ran so much faster. Trying to figure out what's causing the major delay that occurs when the system starts up and to open applicaitons [07:13] anth0ny, Unity [07:13] anth0ny: yeah try booting into Classic mode (i dont know if this enable by default) [07:13] anth0ny, i had to tweak unity a lot on my old laptop to get decent speed ... and minesweeper was laggy as all heck [07:13] devnull_: what, is unity known for being really slow? [07:13] kylescottmcgill, i think it needs to be downloaded [07:13] ugh [07:14] what a bummer [07:14] anth0ny, not particularly ... but it is a 3d desktop .. and the side-scroll bars can cause latency issues ... it is new toolkits [07:14] anth0ny: what graphics card do you have [07:14] devnull_: ohk, i install Gnome3, and it appears, so i wasnt sure if it came with Gnome3 or it just enabled it as a fallback [07:14] might need better graphic drivers [07:14] i think you have to get it seperate ... gnome-classic ? [07:14] or you can get cinnamon [07:15] or some other fork of gnome2 even [07:15] Ubuntu 2D might have better performance [07:15] cinnamon is not supported here [07:15] i use awesome wm :D its awesome.... [07:15] gotcha [07:15] Ben64: DIAMOND Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256-bit GDDR5 [07:15] anth0ny: that should be sweet as [07:15] anth0ny: do you have the proprietary drivers for it? [07:15] kylescottmcgill, i used WM for years until sawfish came out [07:15] hmm i will have a look [07:15] oh the movie :D [07:16] Ben64 - i believe so. it should be mentioned that when it was running fast, it was without that card [07:16] sawfish was the Window Manager for gnome ... then it was called meta-city i think [07:16] in the past that is [07:16] anth0ny, you might need the ATI proprietary drivers ... or see if you are running the radeon open source one ... it worked for me on my old laptop [07:16] oh i see, yeah i like my Tiling Window Managers, i enjoy Gnome3 as well, but i feel more productive in Awesome [07:16] unfortunately i am using the ATI fglrx prop. drivers on my new laptop [07:17] kylescottmcgill, i felt the same way ... Window Maker was awesome .. it still is ... i just feel that gnome stepped it up and has a good feature set and doesn't take up to much realestate anymore [07:17] brb [07:17] ya fair enough [07:18] kylescottmcgill, though when unity came out i was tempted to go back to WM for a bit :) [07:18] I fogot how to register into a channel, its been awhile [07:18] !register | rocket_ [07:18] rocket_: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [07:19] kylescottmcgill, i loved all the docked applets ... it was so sweet ... to bad Enlightenment still hasn't made it mainstream yet [07:19] what is a webserver for precise? [07:19] devnull_: Enlightment is now 1.0 [07:19] WeThePeople, Apache2 [07:20] Yeah, a lot of people seem to look down on it, because it requires a fari amount of attention prior to it working the way people expect, idk meh [07:20] somsip, i saw the E17 thing as its own distro [07:20] WeThePeople: sudo service apache2 status/reload/restart/stop/start are your friends if you have made any config changes [07:21] /var/www is your default Web Directory [07:21] 127.0.0.1 will navigate to that directory [07:21] devnull_: you mean Elementary? Enlightment is a wm (and stuff) AFAICT. Still, I'm on awesome too so makes no difference to me [07:21] enlightment has slowly grown into a desktop. but i find it.. lacking. ;) [07:22] somsip, yea something like that ... havne't kept up on it in awhile ... since compiz i haven't seen a need for the effects of enlightenment [07:22] devnull_: agreed, and must get back to work and on topic... [07:22] somsip, i hear ya ... i am procrastinating [07:23] time to make the phps do that thing they do [07:23] ya imma brb good luck WeThePeople [07:23] thanks [07:23] dr_willis: even with the new user, if I log in I have the same problem .... it crashes again [07:24] eos_: that is weird. you are using gimp from the default repos? [07:24] dr_willis: yes [07:24] anyone have any idea on how to get my quad speakers plus subwoofer to work in 12.10 ? i have no subwoofer and only 2 channels [07:25] dr_willis: did you see the log file I posted by any chance? I cannot make sense of it [07:25] Sooo Is ubuntu mobile going to be able to be installed on existing phones say if there unlocked rooted etc. On android? [07:25] eos_: it ment very little to me.. warnings then a segfault [07:25] hackinblack: we dont know [07:25] hackinblack, i haven't read anything ... but i would imagine it is being targetted at newer devices [07:25] dr_willis: what is the best way to debug? [07:26] theres no real details out about it hackinblack [07:26] i guess people forget there was linux based phones over 12 years ago [07:26] eos_: theres debugging/strace tools but ive never used them [07:26] Well that sucks I just saw the video :( [07:26] hackinblack, yea im excited to ... we will have to wait :( [07:26] hackinblack: and it may be a year+ befor you get your hands on one [07:27] Devnull 12 years ago I was playing with toys lol [07:27] hackinblack, haha ... your the second person to say that today [07:27] someone called me old because i have been using linux since 98 and that was when they were born [07:28] devnull_: we are old [07:28] get off my lawn! [07:28] ;) [07:28] yeah! [07:28] Lol dev [07:28] devnull_: to 14 year olds everyone with pubes are old [07:28] i suppose ... im only 28 ... you hooligans === HeKToN is now known as HeKToN|sleep [07:28] take no offense [07:29] I'm 19 wasn't much into technology 12 years ago [07:29] these days 6 yr olfs got their own cellphones [07:29] ubuntu phone :| [07:29] and 100000 friends on facebook [07:30] It's insane [07:30] but i like android... [07:30] Droid rocks [07:30] android is pretty sweet, i'm not sure what the deal with ubuntu phone is [07:30] well your lucky you are coming to linux now ... it is a lot easier now than back then [07:30] ive seen so much hype and vaporware - so i will wait and see... [07:30] kion: *cringe* don't use the motorola branding :( [07:30] i remember waiting for usb support in the kernel [07:30] Yea android is the best in my opinion but I'm excited for ubuntu [07:30] dr_willis: thanks a lot, have to go! [07:30] i don't see the point of ubuntu phone [07:31] people dident see the point in smartphonnnes a few years back [07:31] ^ [07:31] but we all already have smart phones [07:32] and we chose either android or apple, and we have apps and everything for whichever platform [07:32] Ben64, i wouldn't mind giving ubuntu a try on a phone [07:32] I'm on my smartphone right now lol using android irc [07:32] your forgetting about blackberry ... which is dying [07:32] and no longer need other devices like mp3 players and tomtoms... ubuntu phone could eliminate your laptop. [07:32] my phone already eliminated my laptop [07:32] Is there any reason ZFS-FUSE is spawned as a process many times on my box? [07:32] ircing from my phone also [07:32] Idk about eliminate with me I will always fall back to a laptop or desktop. [07:33] Can someone explain me what Zeitgheist process is? [07:33] my phone has fast internet everywhere in the country [07:33] !info zeitgeist [07:33] zeitgeist (source: zeitgeist): event logging framework. In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.5-0ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 2 kB, installed size 33 kB [07:33] !info is that a command???

Should I uninstall it? [07:35] kion: should be online guides about it. [07:35] its handy in some cases [07:37] Can anyone recommend a nice way of running a windows VM inside ubuntu, so I can make a switch of OS and still have the few vital windows services running? [07:37] 'switch of os' meaning? [07:37] I want to be on ubuntu at all times [07:37] you can run windows in vbox. [07:38] but I have a few vital windows services I need, that keeps me from it [07:38] some apps may not run well. depending on the app [07:38] Would this drag performance down a lot, if I had windows running in a vbox literally 24/7? [07:38] depends on what its doing [07:38] Depends [07:38] and your specs [07:39] only one way to find out I guess [07:40] booting over to ubuntu, hopefully for the last time :l [07:41] how to ignore login/logout info here? [07:41] dulio: depends on your client [07:41] somsip: This is irssi [07:42] Check settings [07:42] hackinblack: ok,I'll try [07:42] dulio: I have mine in ~/.irssi/config but you can probably do it from /save config or whatever it is... [07:42] dulio: http://i.clintecker.com/disable-irc-msgs.html [07:43] somsip +1 [07:43] somsip: 3q [07:43] devnull_: inside Alsamixer, or amixer when you pick the card what do you get? [07:44] hi how to get weather applet to work? [07:44] i did this : sudo apt-get install indicator-weather [07:44] but still no weather applet in 12.04 [07:45] kylescottmcgill, yea i have gone through all of that ... there is my hdmi out with nothing and my card with the standard mixers .. master, mic, pcm etc .. [07:45] say a neat alternative weather applet thing on the omgubuntu sites top 10 apps for 2012 list [07:45] i can virtually bump it to 6 channels ... but still no sub [07:45] kelvinella: did sudo apt-get install indicator-weather work? [07:45] devnull_: lame, i dont have surround, so im not sure sorry [07:45] it seems work. ^.^ [07:46] kylescottmcgill, well surround or not .. i would deal with just 3 channels ... f-left, f-right and lfe through sub would be nice [07:46] i mean i run sudo apt-get install indicator-weather it installs but how to add applet in 12.04?? [07:46] cant right click on panel and add?? [07:47] kelvinella, try launching it from dash [07:47] that status area has a new system for having apps on it [07:47] http://pastebin.com/SbtkMtss [07:47] I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and now my google earth is gone!!! can someone tell me why??? [07:47] devnill, launch what? [07:48] devnull_, launch what? how? [07:48] Kino why did u update ? [07:48] kelvinella, from the dash .... you using unity ? [07:49] devnull_, oic [07:49] devnull_, i still stuck in the gnome mindset [07:49] kelvinella, i understand ... it takes a bit to get used to [07:50] /usr/bin/indicator-weather crash [07:50] [07:50] AndroUser2: wanted to have the latest version of all the programs [07:50] [07:50] from a terminal run indicator-weather [07:51] Hi, Is can I setup Ubutnu One using the terminal only? [07:51] when i add location and click apply, it crashes [07:51] exit [07:51] kelvinella, did you launch it from the terminal [07:52] should i pick google or yahoo weather? [07:52] i did that in dash [07:52] idk [07:52] do it from the term so you can see the output [07:52] wait [07:53] how to run applet in terminal? [07:53] indicator-weather [07:53] just type the command and hit enter [07:53] Kevinella I since unity i had to get rid of that app because it kept crashing on my system [07:54] Traceback (most recent call last): [07:54] File "/usr/bin/indicator-weather", line 1883, in on_apply [07:54] (location_code, location_details) = self.location.export_location_details() [07:54] File "/usr/bin/indicator-weather", line 405, in export_location_details [07:54] return (self.location_code, self.location_details) [07:54] kelvinella: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:54] AttributeError: Location instance has no attribute 'location_code' [07:54] sorry === AndroUser2 is now known as ihackeverything [07:54] kelvinella, is the location code supposed to be in weather format ? [07:55] ? [07:55] like in code [07:55] you have to find out the code for the location you want [07:55] is ubuntu hard to install [07:55] ikla_, no [07:55] I'm thinking about trying it out [07:55] UK no [07:55] ikla_ very simple [07:55] ikla_, less clicks than windows i believe [07:55] Yea also dual booting [07:55] ikla_ linux is the best OS, and Ubuntu is a great linux distro [07:55] why is it the best [07:56] ikla_ highly recommended [07:56] kelvinella, they use a number format i believe to identify locations [07:56] so it doesnt work? [07:56] hmm [07:56] do I download the iso image [07:56] can it fit on cdr? [07:57] ikla_ because it allows me to controll my hardware exactly as I want and because of the huge amounts of software there is , not to mention the security etc?. I could go on and on.. [07:57] how do you pick your location for the weather app ? did you just type in a city and state or something ? [07:57] because that isn't how it works [07:57] Ikla_: yes download your iso image burn it into a disk or usb and boot from there [07:57] but i can not say if it will work after putting the correct code in ... it might not work at all either way [07:58] ikla_, has to be a CD with atleast 750mb of space ... i suggest usb or dvd [07:58] ubuntu has ditched trying to keep the images small enough to fit on most cds [08:01] I'm trying to install a media center server on my Linux box to stream 1080P videos to my Google TV box. Any idea what server I should install? [08:01] myth ? [08:02] mohi666: it depends what your google TV box needs as a client [08:02] FloodBot1 [08:02] mohi666: I'd approach it from that viewpoint [08:02] FloodBot1 [08:02] ikonia, I know there's an app that supports DLNA out of the box [08:03] however, I may end up having videos in different format. I'm not too sure if it can play all of them [08:03] dlna might work [08:03] mohi666: there are many, hence why it I'd check what your client needs [08:03] are you pushing to the googletv box or pulling [08:04] devnill, I have all the movies stored in my linux server [08:04] devnill, that's why I'm trying to push them to google tv box [08:04] so to googletv does it see your computer as like a mass storage or something ? [08:05] the image i have is ~770 MB - is there a DVD image with additional drivers and stuff? [08:05] for a live cd [08:05] /dvd [08:05] devnill, I haven't installed any file server or DLNA on my linux box, yet. That's why google tv cannot see anything yet [08:06] so maybe streaming isn't the correct term [08:07] hi [08:08] (saleh) hi [08:09] can you help me ? [08:09] Ask Ur question [08:09] idk [08:09] mohi666, plex ?? [08:10] I have a problem... I tried to install fglrx drivers, and since they didn't work well, I wanted to revert back to xorg open source drivers, but after removing fglrx I am stuck on login screen (After login it puts me back on login screen), I replaced lightdm with gdm and it (kind of) fixed the issue, but after login I get bunch of system errors (compiz and x crash). WHat should I do? [08:10] devnill, I forgot to mention that I may try to access the content on my tablet as well. [08:10] mohi666, plex looks promising and there is an app for ios/android and apps for most tv boxes including googletv [08:11] i have problem with nvidia geforce gt 540 m - [08:11] i a have problem with nvidia geforce gt 540 m - [08:11] krofna, reinstall fglrx [08:11] devnill, plex is not in official Arch Linux repository :( I try to avoid those packages [08:11] Same [08:11] devnull_ Why? fglrx seem to perform horribly and buggy [08:12] And when I did install Plex, it was kind of shit. Seemed very proprietary. [08:12] krofna, because you will get back to your desktop ... then you can revert the correct way [08:12] do you choice sailfishos or ubuntu [08:12] why do you care about arch linux repo [08:12] Plex isn't in Ubuntu's repos either [08:13] you have to add its repo manually [08:13] I don't trust it, its direction, or the authors [08:13] devnill, Because plex is in Arch User Repository. I have to manually maintain it, if I install it from there [08:13] He's talking about the fact that this is #ubuntu I think :) [08:13] they have the debs right on their site [08:14] Transfusion, true, but Linux is Linux. [08:14] Transhumanist, yes [08:14] agreed - I don't care :) [08:14] because at first it sounded like you were asking in the wrong channel when you said arch linux [08:14] I rather install software that is in my OS official repo [08:14] as would i [08:15] but if options are limited it is what it is [08:15] ciao [08:15] Anyway, it might be worth considering xbmc for an alternative to Plex. [08:16] whats xbmc [08:16] Yeah, I'm going to give a try to xbmc [08:17] I forgot the terminal command to find out what version of linux I'm using [08:17] devnull: xbmc originally stood for "Xbox Media Centre". It has since become completely cross-platform and is fully open source. Now it has little to do with XBox. But it's in the Ubuntu repos and is recommended for media management by a lot of people [08:17] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBMC [08:18] uname -a [08:18] Transhumanist, cool [08:18] im thinking about getting a roku box [08:18] I need to one for finding out what ubuntu I'm running, 10, 11,... I do forget that [08:19] You can don't need terminal to see what version u have to go too settings [08:19] I've just set up an old laptop as a server (low energy consumption). Set up smb sharing on it, installed XBMC, plugged into TV, turned laptop's monitor off. [08:19] Also installed Deluge so other computers can get the laptop to do torrents via the web client [08:20] donnie : lsb_release -a [08:20] nice one tex [08:23] is there a way i could xzip a file over ssh from the server to my local machine without making an xz file first on the server? [08:23] hi, i'm using gnome classic + compiz on ubuntu 12.04. is there a way navigating through the desktop wall just by touching the edges with mouse? right now i can switch workspaces only using keys or the workspace switcher in the status bar. edge flipping on mouse contact would be very helpful. [08:23] sort of "pipe" it via xzip to my machine [08:24] biopyte, yea, I like classic too [08:25] biopyte, I like edge flipping [08:25] biopyte, yes it is in compiz [08:25] or in a tweaks program [08:25] do you have compiz settings manager [08:25] yes, [08:25] but which setting? [08:26] biopyte, find desktop wall .. bindings [08:26] devnull_, the feature comes from compiz? === Ronald_ is now known as Ronald [08:26] ok ... and then? [08:26] techouse : would something like this work ... tar -cvf files | (cd target_directory ; tar -xpf) [08:27] desktop wall -> bindings [08:27] im on 12.10 so i have a crippled compiz config manager [08:27] devnull, got it ... then change what setting? [08:27] well go to the edge flipping tab first .. and activate what you want [08:27] i tried several before already [08:28] let me reread your question .. hold on [08:28] devnull, that doesnt make flipping on mouse touch [08:29] its supposed to [08:29] try looking for ubuntu tweak or something like that [08:29] ok, thx [08:29] try the viewport switcher in compiz [08:30] viewport switcher -> desktopbased viewport switching [08:31] i have mine to scroll through desktop but they have the option for using edges of the screen .. you can go left right up and down [08:31] Ubuntu tweak [08:32] hackinblack knows where its at [08:33] though in 12.10 there is a lot missing in compiz settings manager [08:33] Tex_Nick, yea if it were local, but dunno if i can put ssh remote location into the pipe [08:33] "Want to download via BitTorrent links, get DVD images with more language packs, use the text-based alternate installer or find previous versions of Ubuntu?" [08:33] those DVD sized images are nowhere to be found [08:34] Xabster: what release? [08:34] Anyone up for helping me getting USB to work on virtualbox? [08:34] 12.10 [08:34] desktop [08:34] devnull : sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins [08:34] 12.10 is only on a dvs [08:34] dvd [08:34] Tex_Nick, thanks [08:35] i forgot i had done that on my old machine [08:35] Tex_Nick, much better now :) :) [08:35] 12.10 no longer has the alt installer disk either [08:35] techouse : how about this ... tar -cvf files | ssh remote_host (cd target_directory ; tar -xpf) [08:36] ciao [08:36] Ugh. I need linux on my Mac for an old scanner I need to run. After four days of trying to install Ubuntu I've mostly got it up save for two last issues. I can only boot through Recovery Mode, when I boot right into Linux I end up with a purple screen with some off video streaks. But after Recovery mode it will make it to the GUI just fine. Any tips on what's going on? [08:36] Huh mac [08:36] virtualbox? [08:36] vmware? [08:36] devnull : you're welcome [08:36] why not those :P [08:36] No virtual box. [08:37] just installed it onto an external drive. [08:37] Motoservo, sounds like the graphics weren't set right in the kernel boot options possibly [08:37] lol [08:37] on 12.10, I have added my username to the usergroup vboxusers - this supposively should enable me to mount USB in virtualbox. However, vbox returns error and persists I should enable my username in the vboxusers group. Anyone got a clue of whats not working as intended? [08:37] Ur first problem is its on a mac [08:38] dr_willis, but where are the larger images with more languages and stuff? [08:38] yes macs suck [08:38] unfortunately I have one [08:38] Any idea how I can fix that, devnull_? [08:38] Xabster: no idea [08:38] i dont like macs [08:38] U should always build Ur own [08:38] Well, I can't disagree more, Kion. Four days trying to install an OS is my idea of suck. [08:39] you can try adjusting gfxmode in grub.cfg [08:39] Where can i find a copy of the default file in /etc/apache2/sites-avaible ? [08:39] I didn't come here for a bunch Mac bashing. But I suppose that's what the Linux community has to offer. [08:40] get it to just do text instead of framebuffer [08:40] recovery mode works fine? [08:40] yes [08:40] Yes, it works. [08:40] devnull, i changed desktop-based-viewport-switching-mouse-left to button1. still no switching on pointer contact. [08:40] recovery uses nomodeset i think [08:41] and tuens off the fremabufffer [08:41] I'm sure you can always go to a mac irc and have them help you [08:41] turns [08:41] why would you set it like that [08:41] button1 requires a click [08:41] just use the edge [08:41] !nomodeset [08:41] 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 [08:41] thanks dr_willis that is what i was reaching for [08:41] How can I set that on the regular boot, dr_willis? [08:42] Eagleman, get it from the package [08:42] Motoservo, /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub [08:42] devnull_, i always forget i have rsnapshot running, sorry [08:42] Motoservo: if its using grub.. see above [08:42] devnull, button1 is default, alternatives are button 2 - 20, no other option besides button x [08:42] thanks, nearst [08:42] Yes, using grub. [08:43] devnull, even clicking doesnt work, anyway [08:44] biopyte, i see ... disable that binding for now [08:44] devnull, ok [08:45] ill see if i can find one that just uses edges [08:45] alright [08:46] alternativly, i could install brightside, but that conflicts with compiz [08:46] desktop wall looks like the only other spot [08:46] ubuntu tweak [08:47] http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [08:47] Hello all [08:48] dang it .. something grabbed my left edge binding [08:48] is there a german ubuntu help channel?

[08:49] Hi [08:49] angryWolf: Wir vershtehen nur Bahnhof !!! [08:49] 0,0 [08:50] anyone know a little about bzip2 [08:50] why? [08:50] devnull, what do you mean 'ubuntu tweak'? i cant find such a package. [08:50] I'm a long time Windows developer and I'm just about to start developing an application for Ubuntu. Now with this new Ubuntu Phone and coming Ubuntu sdk. Is it still recommened to use gtk and python as mentioned in developer.ubuntu.com? Or should I go for c++ and qt? Or is it just too early to think about the phone? [08:51] Ich liebe dich [08:51] non-, ask your real question and find out [08:51] !ubuntu-tweak [08:51] biopyte: find the ubuntu-tweak homepage [08:51] there is gtk++ [08:51] dr_willis, ok [08:51] http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [08:51] Maybe it will work in english too. I have a problem with "dvdauthor" I Use KDE Plattform-Version 4.8.5 (4.8.5) on a Linux 3.2.0-35-generic x86_64 [08:51] haha ok thanks So I had a problem updating Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - I'm trying to download the Android SDK bundle [08:51] python rules [08:52] I need to replace the bzip2 file in /usr/lib/apt/methods [08:52] Biopyte [08:52] python rules yes, but it seems that the phone will support qt5 and qml, nothing said about python [08:53] got it, its not in the standard repositories [08:53] so I downloaded the tar.gz and moved it into the /usr/lib/apt/methods folder (after deleting bzip2) but do not know which file to put back in, there is an entire directory there... [08:54] hello. what channel about programming X11 graphical? [08:54] ciao [08:54] non-, i don't understand why you need to replace bzip2, what manual/howto are you using ? [08:54] * dr_willis ducks the !list [08:55] Bzip2 was unexpectedly dying - stopped me from updating [08:56] As they are using QML/Qt and C++ in the native application devkit for Ubuntu Phone, is Ubuntu moving towards QML/Qt for the desktop, too? I know there is a point about a Ubuntu Devkit for the Desktop for 13.04. [08:56] angryWolf: It has been a long time since last time I used dvdauthor. The error appears to be related to PAL/NTSC setting. I believe that you may find answer to most questions on videohelp.com [08:57] laze1989, I was just wondering the same thing [08:57] Help pls withprogramming graphics. I have many lines. And i have some *.xpm image (line color), that i need to get on the line. With horizontal line it's easy. Read *.xpm image to pixmap, set GC, set tile with this pixmap and draw line with this GC. But when line is rotated - there is problems. I need that pixmap rotated too. I'm rotate pixmap with bresenham algorithm and set gc with new pixmap. And it's no worked. Painted incorrect. How I can do this, wi [08:57] th standart library (xlib)? Thx. [08:58] abrigan, wrong channel ...try a channel for the language you are using first [08:58] What's a good MTA for forwarding *some* email to my ISPs mail servers, while keeping others local (like the default install is I guess, for reports and stuff)? I'd also like to avoid keeping plain text passwords in a file anywhere [08:58] yeah videohelp is a great site... not sure how much they support linux tho [08:58] thank you alimj. I have read about a file at /.config/Video_Format with a "PAL" in it. used it to be a text file or will i need another extension? [08:59] I guess it's the .c file in the directory, I'll try figure this one out... [09:00] angryWolf: I believe that you have to edit the main XML project file. Some tags should be added there. I am not sue where. [09:02] angryWolf: I am trying to remember [09:02] !ita [09:02] very kind... i wait [09:03] what is italian channel? [09:03] angyWolf: Did you try this? "export VIDEO_FORMAT=PAL" [09:03] i know the tag should be a "PAL" in my aerea. It is important to find the main xml file.
