| judahitewarrior7 | I have Ubuntu 12.10 and I have problems switching to different Hebrew fonts in LibreOffice Writer. It will not switch from the default Hebrew font Lohit Hindi. Can anyone please help? | 00:00 |
| demonio1 | thanks PatrickDickey ubottu i'll see they now :) | 00:00 |
| sybariten | PatrickDickey: when using lubuntu, will i be using the same repositories as someone using ubuntu? (mind you, i'm no wizard of package management) | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | sybariten: yes | 00:01 |
| sybariten | PatrickDickey: in other words: will i have the same big choice of software, or will there be restrictions | 00:01 |
| dr_willis | its just a differnt desktop on top of the core of the os | 00:01 |
| PatrickDickey | sybariten: yes, and in fact, you can install ubuntu-desktop afterwards. | 00:01 |
| sybariten | aha ok | 00:02 |
| PatrickDickey | judahitewarrior7: You might find more help in #libreoffice or #ubuntu-il | 00:02 |
| demonio1 | PatrickDickey ubottu just a faster question the filesystem /usr/bin is different that /etc? | 00:03 |
| PatrickDickey | demonio1: You'll probably want to Google Linux Filesystem for more information. | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | demonio1: you partion a hard drive. then put a filesystem on the partion. /usr and /etc are directories | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | demonio1: the wikipedia may be handy to read up on also | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | partion a hd -> format the partions to be whatever filesystem you need them to be. | 00:04 |
| jazzkutya | ubottu's entry for !filesystem is pretty much misleading here | 00:04 |
| * PatrickDickey is off to work now. :S | 00:04 | |
| buntuBen | sybariten, I just downloaded 12.04 64-bit today from ubuntu.com, it comes out at 728MB | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | Its discussing the layout of the linux filesystem. | 00:04 |
| dr_willis | filesystem is fairly broad term :) depending on how its used | 00:05 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| dr_willis | demonio1: no need to msg me./ i tend to ignore most messages | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | demonio1: and linux supports dozens of filesystem types. | 00:07 |
| BillyZane|2 | hey dr_willis :) | 00:08 |
| demonio1 | ok dr_willis but can u do an example of filesystem? | 00:08 |
| demonio1 | pls | 00:08 |
| BillyZane|2 | demonio1: hi | 00:09 |
| demonio1 | hi BillyZane|2 :) | 00:09 |
| BillyZane|2 | demonio1: i might be wrong on this, but ext3 and ext4 are the main partitions you want to install ubuntu on. regarding what file systems are supported for mounting purposes, i can verify that NTFS is supportorted, and probably Fat32 | 00:09 |
| BillyZane|2 | you can't view ext3 and ext4 on windows, but you can view NTFS on linux | 00:10 |

| Alien__ | hey | 00:12 |
| Alien__ | I have a question.. Is it possible for me to run ubuntu in read-only mode? | 00:12 |
| anoos | HI is there a method by which a regular user can see how long his own user account has existed on a system? | 00:12 |
| Alien__ | like run my HDD normally unless I want to start doing risky activities like going on a public network I can set it to read-only.. | 00:13 |

| sylphie | anoos \ yes. in a console terminal type "cd ~" and "ls -l ,,/yourusername" | 00:14 |
| anoos | oh duh | 00:15 |
| Nimrod2012 | So is it possible to get ubuntu to boot on this? | 00:15 |
| sylphie | anoos \ yes. in a console terminal type "cd ~" and "ls -l ../yourusername" (two dots, not commas, sorry) | 00:15 |
| Nimrod2012 | I already removed windows 8 :/ | 00:15 |
| anoos | sylphie: thanks i feel dumb now | 00:15 |
| ikonia | Nimrod2012: yes, thre are various solutions to secure boot and linux in general, with various pros/cons | 00:15 |
| JonEdney | So apparently (without noticing), I set the "System Reserved" portion of the Windows partition as boot. I've never seen what is normaly set as bootable, is it the / partition? | 00:15 |
| ikonia | JonEdney: it really shouldn't matter | 00:16 |
| JonEdney | Alright, we'll let's give 'er a whirl! | 00:16 |
| sylphie | Alien__ \ that wouldn't work too well. the os is always writing log files etc etc | 00:17 |
| Alien__ | I mean have my files run in RAM | 00:17 |
| Alien__ | I was thinking of setting a livecd or something to do this on | 00:17 |
| Alien__ | :) | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | Alien__: may be safer to just run your browser in some sort of vm/sandbox.. but i belive you are getting into Tinfoil Hat Paranoia level security here | 00:17 |
| Theodore | hello | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | a Live cd is Read only anyway :) so no need for it to be in ram.. | 00:18 |

| islan | hey, is anybody familiar with installing drivers for laptop wireless? | 00:44 |
| daftykins | just ask your question islan | 00:45 |
| islan | well I'm trying to get a driver installed for BCM 43142 wireless network adapter, but it seems the only working solution is an amd64 deb package | 00:45 |
| islan | there's an i386 variant, but it gives an error, directory does not exist | 00:46 |
| dr_willis | and the exact error is? | 00:46 |
| islan | here, let me see if I can run it again | 00:46 |
| islan | the package is wireless-bcm43142-dkms-6.20.55.19_i386.deb | 00:46 |

| TradeFortress | ok, my ubuntu server seems like it has being compromised | 00:51 |
| islan | well I have the kernel-headers installed, unless there are more I need | 00:51 |
| TradeFortress | I looked in access logs and error logs | 00:51 |
| TradeFortress | But it was missing a whole day. | 00:51 |
| islan | the instructions I found said to do: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | grep -Po "\-[a-z].*") | 00:52 |
| islan | but when I do that, it returns "linux-headers-generic is already the newest version" | 00:52 |
| TradeFortress | is there any other log files that could give me more info? | 00:52 |
| BillyZane|2 | how do I get my sound card drivers? I have a creative sound blaster Z, it's really new. the creaitve website doesn't even have linux drivers for it | 00:53 |

| daftykins | islan: drivers are always available on the Dell site. maybe you're not extracting it right? | 00:54 |
| islan | dafty, they have .exe | 00:54 |
| islan | can extract .inf from that? | 00:54 |
| === dankest|away is now known as dankest | ||
| daftykins | islan: yep | 00:54 |
| daftykins | islan: you'd have to run it ideally though ;) | 00:55 |
| islan | dafty, how so? I tried Archive Manager | 00:55 |
| daftykins | TradeFortress: if nobody logged in on the 12th, auth.log would have nothing? | 00:55 |
| daftykins | islan: on Windows i mean :> link me and i'll try and help | 00:55 |
| TradeFortress | daftykins: but I logged in on the 12th.. | 00:55 |
| islan | ohh, I have to do it on Windows? | 00:55 |
| daftykins | islan: easiest way imo | 00:55 |
| TradeFortress | and the server was hacked on the 12th given mysql timestamps | 00:55 |
| daftykins | TradeFortress: that's what i was asking. sounds like someone edited your logs then perhaps | 00:56 |
| islan | daftykins, this should be the driver: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/GetDriver/InitiateSingleFileDownload?fileId=3080878754&driverId=F9WG9&isInstallAvailable=False&isKCSArticleTobeShown=False&categoryId=CM&returnUrl=%2Fsupport%2Fdrivers%2Fus%2Fen%2F19%2FProduct%2Finspiron-15-3520%3FretrieveState%3DTrue&isUSDownload=true | 00:56 |

| iLogical | I am using qantal | 00:57 |
| TradeFortress | does that mean they got in the server? or failed to connect? | 00:57 |
| daftykins | TradeFortress: well they'd have had to have had root access to edit the logs | 00:57 |
| daftykins | islan: this file is 308MB and is going at 55KB/sec ;/ | 00:58 |
| islan | dafty, yeah, I think it's a full driver-handling application for Dell drivers or something | 00:58 |
| IdleOne | iLogical: #ubuntuone might be more helpful with this | 00:58 |
| daftykins | islan: speeding up, 15m ETA | 00:58 |
| TradeFortress | I wanted to know if "Received disconnect from 202.112.3.16: 11 : bye Bye [preauth" means that they got in | 00:58 |
| TradeFortress | Or not. | 00:58 |
| JonEdney | TradeFortress, what log file is that from? That's a pretty generic entry. | 00:58 |
| daftykins | TradeFortress: it means whoever was connected, disconnected... be it a connection attempt fraudulently or successfully. the message is pretty obvious | 00:59 |
| TradeFortress | JonEdney: it is from auth.log | 00:59 |
| JonEdney | TradeFortress, it's a general disconnected entry as daftykins mentioned. | 01:00 |
| JonEdney | What kind of precautions are you using on your server to swirve hack attempts? | 01:00 |

| harris | BONG_IT, open terminal | 01:03 |

| harris | i need ms office | 01:04 |
| harris | i have my reasens | 01:04 |
| IdleOne | iLogical: no, won't have anything to do with UbuntuOne. I believe you need to allow the app in facebook first though. I'm not entirely sure how this is done. | 01:05 |
| JonEdney | harris, you should be able to select Wine as a default application? | 01:05 |
| Guest88142 | yeah but my default install took 8 gig could I reduce it to maybe 4 or 2 gig I only surf internet e-mail play some light games and tinker with inkscape and lmms | 01:05 |
| BONG_IT | theres ab error | 01:05 |
| usr13 | harris: Since MS Office is not a native application, I think you'll just have to start MS Office first and then open the file. | 01:05 |
| JonEdney | Guest88142, swap is for when your PC/laptop hibernates, so it can save your current used RAM. | 01:05 |
| Guest88142 | I don't do either | 01:06 |
| JonEdney | I've heard that if you should match it if you have under 8 GBs. | 01:06 |
| usr13 | Guest88142: How large is your HD? | 01:06 |
| JonEdney | I don't hibernate, I have 8 GB RAM, I do not use swap space. | 01:06 |
| harris | i right clicked properites and open with a wine application when i double click nothing happens | 01:06 |
| Guest88142 | my hd is 32gig | 01:06 |
| JonEdney | harris, because MS Office is working through Wine, you may not be able to link it as a default program. | 01:06 |
| usr13 | JonEdney: There is not a good reason not to. | 01:07 |
| harris | i could in 9.04 | 01:07 |
| Guest88142 | if thats how its gotta be thats ok I was just wondering | 01:07 |
| JonEdney | I've never ran into an issue with no swap space *shrugs | 01:08 |
| usr13 | Guest88142: That's a pretty small HD | 01:08 |
| Guest88142 | well I know there has to be some | 01:08 |
| julian-delphiki | well, you don't really *need* swap, its just very useful if you have a small amount of ram | 01:08 |
| islan | daftykins, so do you think that Dell driver might be a dead-end yet? | 01:08 |

| === root_ is now known as dagaz | ||
| ikonia | buntuBen: depends where you grub files are stored | 01:11 |
| ikonia | buntuBen: and also if removing the hard disk changes the device order/names/references | 01:12 |
| buntuBen | ikonia: grub files are stored on /dev/sde2; I removed /dev/sdf | 01:12 |
| islan | if I switch from 32-bit to 64-bit Ubuntu and I only have 4 GB RAM, I'll probably take a performance hit right? | 01:12 |
| JonEdney | TradeFortress, there would be a log entry with an IP that indicated connected, just as the one that said disconnected. | 01:12 |
| ikonia | buntuBen: so it's more likley to be a change in reference in the device names | 01:12 |

| wesam_ | buntuBen: I'm using Jolicloud, stupidly. Which is made from Ubuntu. | 01:15 |
| buntuBen | wesam_: right-click on iso file, if it still uses that from ubuntu, and "write to disc..." | 01:15 |

| bunjee | can I convert TG file to ISO? | 01:17 |
| ikonia | that's not a question | 01:17 |
| julian-delphiki | bunjee... TG = tuxguitar, right? | 01:17 |
| bunjee | sorry......RAR archive | 01:18 |
| buntuBen | wesame_: try burning at slowest write speed possible, and use burnproof. | 01:18 |
| winterpk | good morning | 01:18 |
| julian-delphiki | bunjee, extract the rar, make new archive, burn to disk? | 01:18 |
| bunjee | yes....no clue how to | 01:18 |
| wesam_ | buntuBen: I already started it.. But it seems stuck at finalizing like it did before. Should it be going this slow? | 01:19 |
| wesam_ | It says 100% done, finalizing. | 01:19 |
| wesam_ | The loading bar is the bouncing thing. | 01:19 |
| winterpk | This isn't exactly Ubuntu related but I'm having trouble with a serverbuild in which I'm planning on installing ubuntu on. My problem is that the hard drives are not showing up in the bios. I've zero'd and formatted them. Does anyone know what I might be missing? | 01:19 |
| ikonia | winterpk: try ##hardware | 01:19 |
| daftykins | winterpk: in BIOS? PATA/SATA? | 01:20 |
| ikonia | winterpk: we only deal with ubuntu issues here | 01:20 |
| winterpk | SATA in bios | 01:20 |
| wesam_ | winterpk: Check your BIOS up and down. But yeah, ##hardware is where you should go. | 01:20 |
| winterpk | sorry ikonia | 01:20 |
| buntuBen | wesame_: does it sound like your cd is still spinning, or did it spin down? | 01:20 |
| daftykins | winterpk: so i take it by extension, the OSs you boot never see them? | 01:20 |
| winterpk | I've checked everywhere, just not showing up. I'll head to HW channel. Thanks for pointing me in the rigth direction guys! | 01:20 |
| wesam_ | buntuBen: It's wesam_. And Yeah, its spinning, so I guess it's still going. | 01:20 |

| buntuBen | wesam_:my mistake, and yes, I would let it continue. If you told it to verify after burning that might take a while too | 01:21 |
| daftykins | winterpk: i'd ignore that and see what liveCDs see | 01:22 |
| julian-delphiki | daftykins... there is no way the OS will see them if bios does not | 01:23 |
| daftykins | julian-delphiki: not often true in rare circumstances. | 01:23 |
| SaschaP | ok... amarok does not even start | 01:23 |
| islan | daftykins, so do you think I should just install 64-bit Ubuntu and try this other work-around? | 01:24 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: it sounds like you have issues with your install, maybe | 01:24 |
| daftykins | islan: i'm seconds away now. | 01:24 |

| ikonia | islan: I suggest resolving your hardware issues before looking at software | 01:25 |
| ikonia | islan: sorry, wrong guy | 01:25 |
| islan | daftykins, I'm worried with what you'll find with that file size | 01:25 |
| SaschaP | julian-delphiki; yes, my phonon makes problems (system: ubuntu 12.04, upgraded to this version on friday, xfce-desktop) | 01:25 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: you could reinstall xubuntu? | 01:25 |
| daftykins | islan: most of the time it has every version under teh sun, then you can chop out the Windows driver easy. do you happen to know which Windows versions driver works best with ndiswrapper though? newer? | 01:25 |
| islan | dafty, I guess, some have reported it not working, others have reported it working | 01:26 |
| SaschaP | julian-delphiki: it's ubuntu with xfce and reinstall? i only upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 on friday | 01:26 |
| daftykins | islan: Dell 1704? | 01:26 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: considering 12.10 is current... it's worth a shot | 01:27 |
| julian-delphiki | or even upgrading to 12.10 | 01:27 |
| islan | dafty, yep, that's the Dell name anyway | 01:27 |
| islan | daftykins, it's really a Broadcom BCM 43142 | 01:27 |
| daftykins | islan: sure, just extracting now | 01:27 |
| islan | thanks a bunch! | 01:27 |
| SaschaP | julian-delphiki: why should i overinstall a lts with a testing version? | 01:27 |
| daftykins | islan: hrmm other decision, is 32 or 64-bit | 01:28 |
| islan | dafty, I'm running 32-bit ubuntu | 01:29 |
| daftykins | islan: yeah, i'll guess with 32 then :S | 01:29 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: 12.10 is not testing... | 01:29 |

| wesam_ | Okay, working. buntuBen: It's still going on, man. | 01:30 |
| SaschaP | i have a philosophy: never use the last so called "stable" version of a system... it everytime worked with windows :P ... and the problem seems to be something in the glib or qt-area | 01:31 |
| daftykins | islan: PM'd you a link | 01:31 |
| SaschaP | and this problem makes me really began to relove windows XP... | 01:31 |

| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: and you're sure you're up to date on updates? | 01:31 |
| SaschaP | yes, julian | 01:31 |
| wesam_ | SachaP: sudo apt-get upgrade usually fixes all your problems. | 01:32 |
| wesam_ | and then a nice apt-get upgrade. | 01:32 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: could try reinstalling the packages. | 01:32 |
| Xorifelse | Can anyone here help resolve my issue with grub/burg? It does not seem to load the interface, just the o.s. selection screen | 01:33 |
| SaschaP | julian, if i try to purge phonon or gstreamer, the apt-get asks me to delete half of my system... including things like libreoffice | 01:33 |
| julian-delphiki | SaschaP: don't purge then? apt-get install --reinstall phonon gstreamer | 01:33 |
| Xorifelse | apt-get purge "package" | 01:34 |
| julian-delphiki | Xorifelse: no. | 01:34 |
| julian-delphiki | Xorifelse: what is burg? | 01:34 |
| Xorifelse | Uuhm. | 01:34 |
| Xorifelse | That is an grub boot loader | 01:34 |
| julian-delphiki | ah ok | 01:34 |
| IdleOne | Xorifelse: try #grub or #burg | 01:34 |
| Xorifelse | Iĺl try that, thanks | 01:35 |
| julian-delphiki | I don't believe burg is standard in ubuntu, but i guess ic ould be wrong | 01:35 |
| IdleOne | julian-delphiki: you aren't | 01:35 |
| Xorifelse | It is not standard | 01:35 |
| Xorifelse | But thanks, iĺl try it in #grub | 01:36 |
| SaschaP | i already tried to reinstall phonon, but it didn't make anything | 01:36 |
| SaschaP | and sorry, but "apt-get -install --reinstall gstreamer" would only bring out the error, that there is no "gstreamer" package | 01:37 |

| cub | let's be real | 02:02 |
| k1l_ | cub: gnome2 is gone. so you have to find a new way. you can choose the gnome2 lookalike gnome-classic, whihc is a cut-off version. or you try xfce or lxde or other desktops | 02:02 |
| alcaprawn | cub: | 02:02 |
| alcaprawn | ;) update | 02:02 |
| k1l_ | cub: support ends for the desktop version end of april. so we recommend it | 02:02 |
| cub | okay thank you k1l_ | 02:02 |
| cub | so i'm guessing updates will also end then/ | 02:03 |
| k1l_ | yep. that is the point. only the server packages get stll updates after april | 02:03 |
| cub | ic | 02:03 |
| alcaprawn | what window manager do you guys use gnome? | 02:03 |
| cub | well i got 3 months to decide.. | 02:04 |
| cub | idk if this pc will be able to support the new gnome... it's old | 02:04 |
| k1l_ | after 12.04 there is no difference betweeen server and desktop anymore. so that gets 5 years support for both | 02:04 |
| alcaprawn | what you running cub? | 02:04 |
| k1l_ | cub: see xfce or lxde | 02:04 |
| cub | i'm running this off of an old HP Compaq, 15gb harddrive and like idk 1 gb of ram | 02:05 |

| munderwo-work | Hi All. I've got a bare server running ubuntu 12.04, and on startup its got a load of close 8. Using htop it shows high cpu load from kernel threads? Does anybody have some tips to workout what is happening? | 02:15 |
| munderwo-work | ITs a 4 Core server | 02:16 |
| Kraln- | munderwo-work: that sounds suspiciously like a storage issue, like rebuilding raid or something | 02:16 |
| julian-delphiki | munderwo-work: i dont doubt that it has a high load after booting, it should recover quickly. | 02:16 |
| daftykins | plaguedoctor: and every single related device is definitely unmuted in the mixer? be it called iec... or 5.1 or etc? | 02:16 |
| plaguedoctor | daftykins, Yes | 02:16 |
| munderwo-work | Kraln: oohhh I hadnt thought of that. It does have a RAID array in it. Good tip | 02:16 |

| wesam098 | Oh, alright. | 02:21 |
| Kraln- | munderwo-work: depends on which management thingy you have | 02:21 |
| SolarisBoy | grr munderwo-work that is - look into OMSA open manage system administrator - they do pretty well on querying modern dell raid controllers and other environment status | 02:21 |
| plaguedoctor | HAs anyone got audio to work under HDMI cable attached to a TV for ubuntu 12.10 | 02:21 |

| Priest_Pio | I make one clean install using ubuntu 12.10 but after the instalation when the pc start the grub apear in black and don`t show nathing to i acn chose what opearting system i want to use it. Note: I allready make the updates and install nvidia. ANy ideia how to resolve this? | 02:47 |
| squid12 | exit | 02:47 |
| julian-delphiki | tion_: a little googling tells me that the nvidia driver is what you want | 02:47 |
| tion_ | is it fixed? | 02:47 |
| SolarisBoy | munderwo-work: make sure your controller firmware is up to date and that all the daemons are loaded up properly | 02:47 |
| munderwo-work | the OMSA Daemons? | 02:47 |
| SolarisBoy | munderwo-work: naturally take your time there and follow the docs and backup steps - controller incidents can be pretty nasty | 02:47 |
| tion_ | julian-delphiki: i did that in other distro before upgarding and it didnt wotked | 02:47 |
| munderwo-work | Luckily this isnt in production yet... | 02:48 |
| |Anthony| | adobe flash player is constantly crashing. what is the recommended alternative? | 02:48 |
| tion_ | ive upgraded all the way from intrepid | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | tion_: do this - "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" | 02:48 |
| SolarisBoy | munderwo-work: yes there are a few and a couple of drivers that get loaded in the process - there should be a wrapper script in the install directory called services.sh that you can use to start/start/status them all | 02:48 |
| tion_ | just toke about 24h | 02:48 |

| munderwo-work | SolarisBoy: I did an apt-get install, so i'll have a hunt around for the services.sh file | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | moes: you can't with fat32 | 02:49 |
| Priest_Pio | moes try ntfs maby it works | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | munderwo-work: i guess you could updatedb and locate services.sh then | 02:49 |
| SolarisBoy | if apt-get installs it | 02:49 |
| tion_ | i think its even harder to setup the res after install the nvidia blob | 02:50 |
| munderwo-work | SolarisBoy: yeah, found it. starting it now | 02:50 |
| Ben64 | tion_: nope | 02:50 |
| SolarisBoy | munderwo-work: as stated make sure your controller versions are up to date OMSA doesn't like that if it's not | 02:50 |
| julian-delphiki | tion_: you can't compare 9.10 to 12.x | 02:50 |

| tion_ | OMG | 02:52 |
| julian-delphiki | bigbadben: does it show up in dmesg | 02:52 |

| subcool_ | i have entire hard drive that i store my movies on- that is for some reason. owned by root | 02:52 |
| WXZ | is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)? | 02:52 |
| julian-delphiki | subcool_: because devices are owned by root, by default. | 02:52 |

| usr13 | subcool_: Ownership is not the same. You should still be able to access the files though. Right? | 03:14 |
| subcool_ | usr13, yeah i can read them | 03:15 |
| subcool_ | ive always had write permission. this is weird. | 03:15 |
| subcool_ | thats my movie directory. | 03:15 |
| usr13 | subcool_: Is it auto mounting them in that way? | 03:15 |
| subcool_ | it automounts... i know that | 03:16 |

| the_hydra | so far, none of the Unity gestures mentioned in the ubuntu wiki works | 03:16 |

| jakepiano | artful_d no probs. its just one partition 500 gb with ubuntu on it. i'm not sure how to change or check any of this. i have the gparted partition editor | 03:17 |
| usr13 | subcool_: It's full | 03:17 |
| artful_d | Jakepiano: so, just ubuntu on a 500gb ext4, right? | 03:18 |
| subcool_ | usr13, i know- im trying to delete things | 03:18 |
| subcool_ | usr13, that when i found out its root | 03:18 |
| usr13 | subcool_: Use sudo | 03:19 |
| subcool_ | yeah.... but i still need to be able to write to it. | 03:19 |
| jakepiano | uhm i think. heres a link to what it looks like. http://imgur.com/OdJ9E | 03:19 |
| the_hydra | subcool, is it possible that it is mounted as "read only"? | 03:20 |
| the_hydra | subcool, try to check mount command output | 03:20 |
| jakepiano | artful_d | 03:20 |
| the_hydra | subcool, if you see "ro", then it's read only | 03:20 |
| subcool_ | the_hydra, uh- ... lol... got me.. | 03:20 |
| the_hydra | subcool, pardon? | 03:20 |
| usr13 | the_hydra: It's mounted rw see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529825/ | 03:21 |

| usr13 | the_hydra: *91% | 03:22 |
| the_hydra | usr13, hm, exFAT...... | 03:23 |
| Ben64 | its ntfs | 03:23 |
| the_hydra | usr13, not sure how much exFAT/NTFS reserve, but AFAIK it should be around 5%, same like ext2/3/4 | 03:23 |
| usr13 | Ben64: the_hydra It says: HPFS/NTFS/exFAT | 03:23 |
| artful_d | jakepiano: cool, so you need to shrink sda1 by... whatever you want Win8 to be... 100GB or whatever | 03:24 |
| corvaxia | I have a hopefully stupid question. I have .cbr on my linux desktop that I would like to share with my android tablet directly and skip using dropbox. What is the best option available? | 03:24 |
| the_hydra | usr13, or maybe, just maybe, it already drains its inodes numbers | 03:24 |
| jakepiano | ok and then what? i'm afraid i'll get the same error from trying to install win8. do i have to change it to primary or something? | 03:25 |
| artful_d | jakepiano: obviously, you've got this going on another PC so just say what's going on and we can walk you through it. | 03:25 |
| usr13 | subcool_: At any rate, you should be able to delete some files. Just do ls ls -ltrS <will list by file sizes, largest last> and pick a particularly big one and delete it. | 03:25 |
| subcool_ | usr13, i know what i wanna delete - thats no problem | 03:25 |
| subcool_ | but, i also want to put file IN there.. | 03:26 |

| subcool_ | how | 03:26 |
| tion_ | wow it worked :P | 03:26 |
| Ben64 | i told you how in the same line i asked for it | 03:26 |

| subcool_ | subcool adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare | 03:26 |

| jakepiano | i've got to go but i'll be back in a half hour or so. can i get your email to let you know when i'm back? | 03:27 |
| Ben64 | well then i don't know. we have the same groups, same mount options, but i can copy things to my ntfs drive | 03:27 |

| the_hydra | kcoffman, open terminal and type "alsamixer" | 03:47 |
| kcoffman | okay. now what | 03:47 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, my guess, either Master or PCM level is too high | 03:47 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, see those bars? | 03:47 |
| kcoffman | Master and PCM are both at 100 from what I can tell | 03:48 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, then lower them, imho the ideal level are both around 70% | 03:48 |
| kcoffman | yes, I see them | 03:48 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, but feel free to experiment | 03:48 |
| kcoffman | the_hydra how do I lower them? | 03:48 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, use down arrow to lower, up arrow to raise | 03:49 |
| === geudrik is now known as geudrik|AFK | ||
| the_hydra | kcoffman, use left or right arrow to choose which one you wanna modify | 03:49 |
| kcoffman | the_hydra, do you want me to lower PCM and Master to ~70 | 03:49 |
| the_hydra | when you are done, just press Escape, sometimes you need to press it twice | 03:49 |

| julian-delphiki | tion_: remove it in the package manager | 03:58 |
| tion_ | but all at once | 03:58 |
| dcherniv | Nukien, what you're doing is non-standard so you're kind of on your own. I dont see why it wouldnt as long as there's a hook in the installer process to stick a script in | 03:58 |
| Nukien | I'm poking around at the syslinux cmenu setup as well, to use checkboxes before the kernel is even booted. That looks workable, but no nice background image like vesamenu.c32 can do. | 03:58 |
| tion_ | not 1 app at a time | 03:58 |
| julian-delphiki | tion_: then your solution will likely work | 03:58 |
| Nukien | The d-i preseed/early_command string is exactly that, but I haven't found if there's any facility for communicating with the user during install | 03:59 |
| kcoffman | the_hydra hang on, I stopped the upload once I saw what you said about reserving bandwith | 03:59 |

| dcherniv | Guest46286, sudo su - is not recommended use sudo -i | 04:04 |
| julian-delphiki | dcherniv, why is sudo su - not correct? | 04:04 |
| the_hydra | julian-delphiki, Guest43354 : or sudo -s | 04:04 |
| julian-delphiki | sudo su - works just as well as sudo -i | 04:05 |
| dcherniv | julian-delphiki, beats me, ubuntu guide says sudo su is a no no | 04:05 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, hmmmm | 04:05 |
| magn3ts | julian-delphiki: that's the sun, er, oracle jdk. | 04:05 |
| julian-delphiki | To start a root shell (i.e. a command window where you can run Root commands), starting Root's environment and login scripts, use: | 04:05 |
| julian-delphiki | sudo -i (similar to sudo su - , gives you roots environment configuration) | 04:05 |
| magn3ts | julian-delphiki: (also, the PPA with the oracle jdk installer isn't updated either, oops) | 04:05 |
| magn3ts | I did see that Oracle did a linux targz release though. | 04:06 |
| Guest46286 | thankx | 04:06 |
| julian-delphiki | magn3ts: ppa's are maintained by the community | 04:06 |
| julian-delphiki | dcherniv, all it says is that its similar to sudo -s | 04:06 |
| kcoffman | but when I mess with the PCM and master volumes they change my bar but it's like if you bar represents 100% of sound from 0(being silent) to 100(being loudest) at 80% is when you can hear sound, if it's anything less than 80%, it's totally silent from 79% to 0%; at 100% it's really like 120% and I am afraid it will blow my speakers. They worked fine until 12.04 | 04:07 |
| julian-delphiki | and that it doesn't get root's path... which I don't think is correct | 04:07 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, hm, it's beyond my knowledge, but I can only suggest to play with the bar..... maybe you need both pcm and master level at 80% | 04:08 |
| the_hydra | kcoffman, or maybe 90% | 04:08 |

| ai23k | hi all, I have an ubuntu installation ubuntu 10.10(which we have planned to upgrade to latest one soon) but I am facing a problem to install packages as repos are no more working how can i install packages to my machine now | 04:14 |
| kcoffman | magn3ts can I run it from a USB drive? | 04:14 |
| magn3ts | tion_: can you elaborate? | 04:14 |
| tion_ | how do i setup xvga+ res? | 04:14 |
| julian-delphiki | ai23k: what error are you getting | 04:14 |
| magn3ts | kcoffman: sure, you can dd the iso to a jump drive and boot from that. I doubt it has an EFI partition on it, so be wary of that if you have a late 2012/2013 new computer. | 04:14 |
| Guest46286 | where does system file reside in lubuntu(/etc,/home,/var etc.) | 04:14 |
| magn3ts | tion_: Why do you think nvidia-current installed the wrong driver? | 04:15 |
| julian-delphiki | Guest46286: "system file" ? | 04:15 |
| tion_ | some one told me to do it because i had vga res and now in 1024x | 04:15 |
| ai23k | Failed to fetch http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/update-inetd/update-inetd_4.36ubuntu0.1_all.deb 403 Forbidden | 04:15 |
| julian-delphiki | ai23k, you're using a mirror that doesn't work, probably. | 04:15 |
| ai23k | julian-delphiki: are there any working repos for 10.10 | 04:15 |
| tion_ | because on the additional driver applet recomends 173. | 04:16 |
| magn3ts | ai23k: did you manually set that mirror? You'll probably need to change it and remove the us-east-1... prefix. | 04:16 |
| Guest46286 | file like,bin,boot,dev,lib,root,proc etc.. | 04:16 |
| WXZ | is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)? | 04:16 |
| julian-delphiki | ai23k: read the 2nd post? http://cloud.ubuntu.com/tag/ec2/ | 04:17 |
| ai23k | magn3ts: actually I am using an amazon instance they have setup their own mirrors to save their bandwidth | 04:17 |
| jakepiano | could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently | 04:17 |
| ai23k | but if there is anyone working definately i will use that | 04:17 |
| magn3ts | ai23k: then it's an issue with amazon, they seem to have misconfigured something... probably because 10.10 is really old. | 04:17 |
| Chaosadnd | Anyone good at apache2 that could help me out for a few minutes? | 04:17 |
| magn3ts | Is this an ancient VM or what? | 04:17 |
| magn3ts | Do they still support 10.10? | 04:17 |
| julian-delphiki | magn3ts: no its just on Ec2 | 04:17 |
| julian-delphiki | magn3ts: there are lots of people on 10.04 still | 04:18 |
| julian-delphiki | server LTS | 04:18 |
| magn3ts | Right, I'm just trying to figure out if he has a new image of 10.10 and amazon is provisioning new instances with bad mirrors... or if this is an instance that has managed to live this long and references servers they deprecated. | 04:18 |
| magn3ts | Either way, it's an issue with Amazon for pointing apt at a broken mirror or breaking their mirror later. You can remove the prefix and use the ubuntu archives if you want to fix it in the iterim. | 04:19 |
| tion_ | magn3ts: how do i setup arbitrary res? like 1152 x 864 | 04:19 |
| magn3ts | tion_: If you have a GTX card, and X is using the nvidia driver, I would use nvidia-settings. (this is what I use on my desktop) | 04:20 |
| tion_ | im using the max avaiable that is 1024 x768 | 04:20 |
| anunnaki | so any old timers in here? | 04:20 |
| tion_ | i have fx5200 | 04:21 |
| julian-delphiki | anunakki: what do you mean? | 04:21 |
| anunnaki | there was this dude from africa that had his own networkig business.. hung out in here forgot his name | 04:21 |
| stuck109 | my computers usb ports aren't working, think I need to reinstall drivers? How can I do this? | 04:22 |
| anunnaki | i think south africa... weird first name .. said tons of pot grew around his house.. anyone know him? lol | 04:22 |
| magn3ts | tion_: 173.1436 *is* the recommended driver. | 04:23 |
| magn3ts | Are you SURE X is currently using it? | 04:23 |
| WXZ | is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)? | 04:23 |
| tion_ | x is using 2xx driver | 04:24 |
| tion_ | but ont | 04:24 |
| tion_ | not | 04:24 |
| magn3ts | WXZ: doubtful, the "workspace" is really both displays together, there isn't really a way to address them as "the left side of W1" and "the right side of W1" | 04:24 |
| tion_ | i instaled nvidia driver before but got stuck with very low res options | 04:24 |
| jakepiano | could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently | 04:24 |
| magn3ts | tion_: I can't tell what you mean. It *is* or *isn't* ? | 04:25 |
| WXZ | magn3ts: I wasn't really looking for a left and right side, I want the full workspace on one monitor, and another full workspace on the other | 04:25 |
| magn3ts | You have three options: VESA, Nvidia, or Nouveau. | 04:25 |
| WXZ | magn3ts: sort of like in awesome, but awesome has a huge learning curve | 04:25 |
| tion_ | jokey crashed | 04:25 |
| magn3ts | WXZ: well same difference, that would be the "model" needed to do the sort of workspace-monitor-independent thing you want, but no, that's not how it works in gnome/kde/xfce that I'm familiar with. | 04:26 |
| magn3ts | I need to learn awesome :/ | 04:26 |

| jakepiano | yup but i need it for school. i want to dual boot ubuntu and win8 but i have to install win8 first before i do. so help please someone? | 04:31 |

| matrixfox | jakepiano: Just install Windows 8, then restart and isntall Ubuntu. | 04:33 |
| Redeeemed | I am downloading the windows installer | 04:33 |
| matrixfox | Ubuntu has a built in function that will install it side-by-side with Windows. | 04:33 |
| Redeeemed | Windows is a monsteriousity | 04:33 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, Windows 8 is going to fight with you unless you make it the primary OS. | 04:33 |
| Redeeemed | anything is better than it I am sure | 04:33 |
| jakepiano | i tried installing it already and it didn't work. it told me it wasn't partitioned correctly. | 04:33 |
| Redeeemed | and my friends sware by ubuntu | 04:33 |
| munderwo-work | OK, so the Very high cpu load was caused by the acpi_pad kernel module. Is there any danger in turning this off | 04:34 |
| _helios_ | Redeeemed, you should do a full install or a dual boot, the windows installer wont give you the real experience of ubuntu it will be allot slower than a full install. | 04:34 |
| matrixfox | jakepiano: Did you try setup your own Linux partitions? | 04:34 |
| Redeeemed | I am doing dual boot | 04:35 |
| Redeeemed | I gave it 100GB | 04:35 |
| _helios_ | But if you do it with the Windows Installer it won't be the real deal. | 04:35 |
| Redeeemed | I don't have any discs to burn at the moment | 04:35 |
| jakepiano | i'm not sure. i dont know how to do much of this. i'll show you what i have right now. http://imgur.com/OdJ9E | 04:35 |
| _helios_ | Can you boot from USB? | 04:35 |
| Redeeemed | I dont have any media of any kind at the moment | 04:36 |
| Redeeemed | otherwise believe me I will | 04:36 |
| Redeeemed | I will not hold windows performance issues against ubuntu | 04:36 |
| Redeeemed | I just want to see if the interface agrees with me | 04:36 |
| Redeeemed | if it does | 04:36 |
| _helios_ | Redeeemed, well as soon as you can you want to switch to a full install. | 04:36 |
| Redeeemed | then I will get a DVD and oa a real install | 04:36 |
| ai23k | magn3ts: I think ubuntu has discontinued support for 10.10 that is the problem | 04:38 |

| vrtigo_indx | hey all, I'm having some issues with wifi on 12.04, anyone happen to know of a fix? | 04:39 |
| Redeeemed | I have heard Linux doesn't get viruses as much as Windows is that true? | 04:39 |
| unreal82 | Rose garden or ardour? | 04:39 |
| unreal82 | Redeeeded: yes | 04:41 |
| unreal82 | Redeeemed* | 04:41 |
| matrixfox | Redeeemed: Lie | 04:41 |
| ChaozHenchman | yeah, one because more people use windows and two you can't access the root directory in linux | 04:41 |
| _helios_ | Redeeemed, you can still get a virus if you trust some script kiddie who makes a script that gives him remote access to your computer and he talks you into running his script as root | 04:42 |
| matrixfox | or install weird software you don't fully trust, or land on sites with exploits | 04:43 |
| _helios_ | Redeeemed, but the chances of a regular virus like you get just surfing the web in windows is highly unlikely. | 04:43 |
| jakepiano | matrixfox yeah thats what i'm trying to do. how does the hard drive need to be partitioned for windows to be installed? once i get into windows i can get it all worked out. i just need windows first | 04:43 |
| matrixfox | jakepiano: You should move the boot off of the main drive btw~ | 04:43 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, usualy windows has a 250mb SYSTEM partition then it has the C partition. | 04:44 |
| jakepiano | matrix fox _helios_ how do i do that? | 04:44 |
| matrixfox | jakepiano: Windows 8 uses two partitons. Boot and a main Local Disk | 04:45 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, I couldn't explain it step by step but I'm sure you could use the application gparted to help you out. | 04:45 |

| === dankest|away is now known as dankest | ||
| jakepiano | yeah i have gparted and matrixfox i know that. how do i partition it correctly so? | 04:45 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, the problem is windows doesn't give you the option of where to install it. | 04:46 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, windows wants your whole system it doesn't like sharing | 04:46 |
| matrixfox | jakepiano: I would make the boot partion 350MB's, and the Local Disk the rest of the hard drive. | 04:46 |
| jakepiano | ok how do i do that? | 04:46 |
| agent | I'm having a problem with my wireless. I've found lots of suggestions on the forum but, none are working. I didn't have the problem until I upgraded to 12.04. | 04:47 |

| _helios_ | jakepiano, why don't you just keep the full install of ubuntu and run windows as a virtual box? | 04:47 |
| agent | There are lots of suggestions about dual boot as windows but, I'm not using windows. | 04:49 |

| matrixfox | jakepiano: Well for one, networking... | 04:50 |
| thec4ke | like i hope you dont enjoy 3d games | 04:50 |
| _helios_ | jakepiano, I would run Ubuntu as the main and Windows 8 as the virtual box. | 04:51 |
| agent | best. As she might not be able to find info on ubuntu in the ubuntu sections, only windows | 04:51 |
| jakepiano | well i'm a college student. i dont need a whole lot of networking stuff games, etc. i just need it for word processing and such | 04:51 |
| thec4ke | then ubuntu is fine | 04:51 |

I used ntfsresize to shrink the ntfs file system to half size, then used fdisk to delete all 4 primary partitions and then created a ntfs part and a linux part .. when I reboot the live CD, fdisk shows the new fstable I made, but clicking up on 'places' shows my original full size ntfs drive/part -- | 05:18 |

| jhansonxi_ | WXZ: You can sort-of do that if you configure X.org for non-Xinerama or "Zaphod" mode where each monitor has it's own X session. But you can't drag a window from one to the other. Many desktop environments don't support it correctly either. Xfce is the best with Ubuntu 12.04. | 05:30 |
| WXZ | jhansonxi_: I have zaphod mode right now, but I really need to move windows across, it doesn't have to be a drag thing, I can do it in commandline, but windows have to move. | 05:31 |
| jhansonxi_ | WXZ: With this mode you configure the desktop on each monitor independently with their own menus, panels, and workspaces. | 05:32 |
| crazycory22 | and i lost my mouse... | 05:34 |
| jhansonxi_ | WXZ: It's not possible to drag a window from one desktop to the other with Zaphod mode. They are independent. Some desktop environments can drag text between apps on each, and some file managers may be able to support drag-n-drop of files, but nothing else. | 05:34 |

| oospill | I'm on a live 10.04 cd trying to dual install along side win xp (which is on ntfs) .. the ntfs partition is damaged. | 06:33 |
| tion | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530159/ | 06:33 |
| magn3ts | jhansonxi, too true, nvidia's prop driver barfs on these cheap Korean panels even though Nouvareu picks up on it just fine even with bad EDID output. | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | oospill: the installer tools wont be able to resize a damaged ntfs partion | 06:34 |
| oospill | I used ntfsresize to change the primary partition, and then used fdisk to create another primary .. linux of course | 06:34 |
| magn3ts | jhansonxi, I have to manually modeset with `nvidia` :0 I think tion has a simpler problem though. | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | oospill: so areyou sure it succeded? or did you force it some how? | 06:34 |
| oospill | ahhhh | 06:34 |
| oospill | I did -f to force | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | resizeing a damaged ntfs- is not a good idea.. ;) | 06:34 |
| oospill | no other choice | 06:35 |
| oospill | when I print the partition list in fdisk it shows the new partition table just fine .. | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | could have repired the ntfs... | 06:35 |
| oospill | did chkdsk /f /r twice | 06:35 |
| magn3ts | heh that doesn't mean much. | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | Oh well. Hope you got backups just in case of data loss on the ntfs. | 06:35 |
| oospill | got backups | 06:35 |
| magn3ts | I can make my partition table says LOTS of things ;) | 06:35 |
| oospill | just want to leave the old windows insatll that's all | 06:35 |
| oospill | right | 06:36 |
| oospill | cool ... soooo... | 06:36 |
| rhizmoe | hi all. is there a way to disable the requirement that symlinks to directories need two tab hits to complete out to the slash? | 06:36 |
| oospill | got the new partition table .. but on my live cd, going up to places, shows the original sized hard disk. | 06:36 |
| oospill | (80 GB) | 06:36 |
| tion | what now? | 06:36 |
| oospill | what now me too | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | oospill: hav you rebooted since youve resized? | 06:37 |
| oospill | yes | 06:37 |
| usr13 | rhizmoe: Can you re-phrase your question? | 06:37 |
| Ben64 | tion: delete xorg.conf, reboot, start up nvidia-settings and set the resolution | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | You may want to run gparted and let it see and perhaps fix any errors it finds | 06:37 |
| === rimas is now known as daze | ||
| magn3ts | Ben64, if his monitor really isn't putting out EDID info, I fully would expect the nvidia driver to bork on it. | 06:37 |
| oospill | gparted doesn't want to do anything to the ntfs fs | 06:37 |
| tion | its not going to work i need a custume IEDI file like on the web page thats for sure | 06:38 |
| oospill | the fs has a exclamation point next to it | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | If you have a backup of the ntfs.. id just delete it and restore it from backups.. but a ! may mean its mounted/in use.. | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | check the mount command output - be sure its not mounted | 06:38 |
| magn3ts | tion, unfortunately, to do that, you either need to fire up nouvareu and get it's settings to write a modeline or EDI file or you're going to need the manual or just take a shot with an EDID calculator | 06:38 |
| oospill | checking ... | 06:38 |
| tion | this used to be so eazy once upon a time when you could just edit xorg.conf | 06:39 |
| Ben64 | magn3ts: well the current xorg.conf isn't doing anything | 06:39 |
| oospill | not mounted. ! for damaged | 06:39 |
| magn3ts | Ben64, true, true, plus he needs to "reset" since it sounds like nvidia-settings is messed up too | 06:39 |
| Ben64 | oospill: right click and go to information to find out why | 06:39 |
| Ben64 | magn3ts: i'm thinking the conf might be affecting it | 06:40 |
| tion | this monitor can take any standart res / freq | 06:40 |

Please help me. | 06:41 |
| magn3ts | guest____, no, sorry. You should just ask your question though. | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | Feedhurley: ftp is old and considered a security risk. better to learn to use ssh and sftp | 06:42 |
| tion | why did they have to make xrandr and break xorg.conf? | 06:42 |
| magn3ts | the_dark_knight, the first sentence was the best one, especially if it's happening whenever you're executing your update. | 06:42 |
| tion | MF | 06:42 |
| guest____ | friends i want to upload a sieve script on my citadel server | 06:42 |
| jhansonxi | tion: You can still edit the file manually. Just: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (but make a backup first!) | 06:42 |
| magn3ts | xrandr broke xorg.conf? | 06:42 |
| Feedhurley | dr_willis i guess its much more complicated aswell? | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | Feedhurley: install the ssh server package.. and start sshing in.... | 06:42 |
| usr13 | rhizmoe: So what you want to do is ____________________? | 06:42 |
| tion | they broke it i used to edit that long ago | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | Feedhurley: given the total disasters ive seen happen with ftp.. id say not really. :) | 06:43 |
| tion | in debian | 06:43 |
| guest____ | magn3ts, as i know managesieve is there to upload | 06:43 |
| magn3ts | tion, I'm willing to bet money that when you did this in the past you weren't using the `nvidia` driver... | 06:43 |
| tion | yes i was | 06:43 |
| tion | and playing urt and quake3 | 06:43 |
| guest____ | magn3ts . but i didnt get the way to do that | 06:43 |
| tion | and et | 06:43 |
| magn3ts | tion, then they either broke their driver, you can use xrandr or you can still set the res manually in xorg. | 06:43 |
| tion | and everything worked | 06:43 |
| magn3ts | tion, Ben's right, delete your xorg.conf and start over. | 06:44 |
| oospill | ntfsresize shows 'current volume' at 39G and current device size 80G .. that's what I told it to do!! however gparted shows the disk as 80G!!! fdisk shows 37 and 40 | 06:44 |
| oospill | ntfs sux | 06:44 |
| Feedhurley | dr_willis hmm okey, ill take a look at that. My goal at the moment is not a perfect server, more of learning and then go on get it better and more secure. By the way does ssh let you stream content from your server? | 06:44 |
| magn3ts | tion, this is like helping my parents do Quicken. They spend 4 hours on it, I go in and reset it and do it from scratch in 10 minutes. sometimes it's time to just go back to a clean slate. | 06:44 |
| magn3ts | guest____, managesieve? That's dovecot for managing sieve scripts for mail related stuff, as far as I know. | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | Feedhurley: stream is a rather broad term. :) a UPNP server can stream video... samba has 'shares' you can mount a remote ssh location to a local directory via sshfs and play stuff. | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | its not like his xorg.conf is full of stuff, its super generic and unnecessary | 06:45 |
| magn3ts | Mhmm. | 06:45 |
| oospill | nobody loves me anymore | 06:45 |
| oospill | =P | 06:45 |

| Ben64 | Hoyt: yep | 06:46 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 06:46 |
| tion | is this stupid or what? | 06:46 |
| magn3ts | oospill, according to the warnings gparted usually spits out, sometimes you need a restart for the kernel to see new partition sizes | 06:46 |
| Feedhurley | dr_willis is samba a type of server or just a extension software? | 06:46 |
| guest____ | magn3ts as it is also included in the citadel http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/documentation:appproto:manage_sieve | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | !samba | Feedhurley | 06:46 |
| magn3ts | but that sounds strange. I avoid resizing and using ntfs for a reason :) | 06:46 |

| mladoux | biopyte, one second please | 07:22 |
| === atrius_away is now known as atrius | ||
| mladoux | yeah, the version of 7 in that repository is still 7.10, they usually update quite rapidly though, so I'd give it a couple days | 07:24 |
| mladoux | @biopyte | 07:24 |
| alimj | mladoux: biopyte: I still recommend disabling Java in your Browser (by default). Keep it in "Click to activate" mode. I am not sure if 7.11 for Ubuntu is released. | 07:24 |
| === alejandro is now known as Guest12439 | ||
| savio | Just don't use java for some time | 07:25 |
| alimj | maldoux: biopyte: It is just few hours since the release of 7.11 | 07:25 |
| mladoux | alimj thanks, I'm not worried about it. I don't really use java. | 07:25 |
| muhfiasbin | can I install Ubuntu for ARM in an Android Smartphone like Motorola Defy+? | 07:25 |
| savio | is 7.11 fix zero-day | 07:25 |
| alimj | savio: YES. VERY DANGEROUS BUG | 07:26 |
| mladoux | biopyte, they'll probably update it soon, especially if there are security concerns | 07:26 |
| bazhang | !arm | muhfiasbin | 07:26 |
| ubottu | muhfiasbin: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 07:26 |
| biopyte | alimj, mladoux, synaptic sources tells me "disabled on upgrade to precise http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html" | 07:26 |
| alimj | http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57563337-83/java-flaw-draws-web-attacks-reports-say/ | 07:26 |
| biopyte | so i guess, i have to do the manual install anyway | 07:27 |
| bazhang | muhfiasbin, #ubuntu-arm | 07:27 |
| mladoux | biopyte if you wait a few hours, it should be there, I wouldn't worry too much just yet. | 07:27 |
| muhfiasbin | thanks :) | 07:27 |
| vrtigo_indx | anyone know how to resolve wifi issues on 12.04? | 07:27 |
| alimj | In FireFox: go to about:config | 07:27 |
| mladoux | depends, what's your wifi card? | 07:27 |
| vrtigo_indx | realtek | 07:28 |
| biopyte | mladoux, by the way, the latest version, also for linux is here .... http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en | 07:28 |
| alimj | search for plugins.click_to_play | 07:28 |
| alimj | and set it to true | 07:28 |
| biopyte | mladoux, alimj ok, thx | 07:28 |
| mladoux | which model vrtigo_indx? | 07:28 |
| savio | vrtigo_indx, explain your issue | 07:28 |
| vrtigo_indx | so, sometimes wifi will connect with no issues, other times, it connects then dies, and other times it won't connect at all | 07:28 |
| vrtigo_indx | super unreliable right now | 07:28 |
| mladoux | yeah, which model of card? | 07:29 |
| alimj | ONLY USE JAVA IN TRUSTED SITES UNTIL OFFICIAL JAVA 7.11 IS RELEASED | 07:29 |
| mladoux | not just the brand mind you | 07:29 |
| vrtigo_indx | sorry i'm new to linux | 07:29 |
| mladoux | do a lspci and a lsusb it should show on one of those. | 07:29 |
| biopyte | mladoux, i'm not worrying, but for a reason i dont understand, my java 7.10 is not working anymore since this morning. and i depend on it to do my work. | 07:29 |
| biopyte | biopyte, just to illustrate the situation | 07:29 |
| savio | vrtigo_indx, use pspci command and paste the output in pastebin | 07:30 |
| biopyte | so, i will do the manual install ... which shouldnt be a problem | 07:30 |
| mladoux | biopyte, sorry, I don't know enough about java to fix that. | 07:30 |

| savio | bazhang, sorry typo mistake | 07:31 |
| bazhang | mladoux, its never pspci | 07:31 |
| mladoux | ah, vrtigo_indx that's what I wanted. Give me a moment. | 07:31 |
| === NotAnIdiot is now known as azend | ||
| vrtigo_indx | thanks so much | 07:31 |
| mladoux | did i say pspci? typo, lol | 07:31 |
| bazhang | no savio did mladoux | 07:31 |
| krz | damn. i played around with compiz settings. how do i reset the freaking thing? ubuntu doesn't boot properly sometimes | 07:32 |
| vrtigo_indx | I've tried doing some googlefu to find something.. but everything on the forums seems to have zero effect | 07:32 |
| mladoux | vrtigo_indx, do the following commands modinfo r8192e_pci | grep 8192 | 07:33 |
| mladoux | and modinfo r8192se_pci | grep 8192 | 07:33 |
| mladoux | tell me if you get results for both | 07:33 |
| mladoux | vrtigo_indx, no worries, we'll solve this. | 07:34 |

| bazhang | vrtigo_indx, try the backports modules | 07:36 |
| mladoux | bazhang thanks for the input. I'm also checking for a possible conflict | 07:36 |
| mladoux | apparently there are two drivers for this card, and they don't play nice | 07:37 |
| vrtigo_indx | that's what I figured. | 07:37 |
| mladoux | vrtigo_indx, did you do the modinfo commands? | 07:37 |
| vrtigo_indx | I'd previously tried using ubuntu in the past, and it gave me too many headaches, but I figured that was due to the dual boot maybe.. | 07:37 |
| vrtigo_indx | but | 07:37 |
| vrtigo_indx | ERROR: modinfo: could not find module r8192se_pci | 07:37 |
| vrtigo_indx | that was the second | 07:37 |

| vrtigo_indx | and first | 07:38 |
| vrtigo_indx | sorry | 07:38 |
| mladoux | good, you don't have a conflict | 07:38 |
| mladoux | you might want to try switching drivers though. | 07:38 |
| mladoux | one moment. | 07:38 |
| mladoux | sudo echo "blacklist r8192e_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 07:38 |
| mladoux | one sec | 07:39 |
| mladoux | I'm checking the package name for the other one | 07:39 |
| vrtigo_indx | got permission denied on that | 07:39 |
| mladoux | did you remember the sudo? | 07:39 |
| mladoux | if that didn't work, do sudo su - | 07:39 |
| vrtigo_indx | yeah, it didn't ask for my password.. | 07:39 |
| mladoux | echo "blacklist r8192e_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 07:39 |
| vrtigo_indx | k | 07:39 |
| mladoux | in one moment, I'll be done checking the package you want | 07:40 |
| vrtigo_indx | still giving me permission denied | 07:40 |
| Flannel | mladoux, vrtigo_indx: `echo "blacklist r8192e_pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf` | 07:40 |
| savio | vrtigo_indx, use sudo -i enter your password | 07:41 |

| rigo | is it maybe a port forwarding or routing issue? | 07:47 |
| vrtigo_indx | It is very weird. The wifi worked fine on Windows, must be a driver issue. | 07:48 |

| vrtigo_indx | >>$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw- `uname -r` | 07:55 |

| cfhowlett | evilthought, or maybe in #ubuntu-server?? | 08:24 |
| thec4ke | are you using samba? | 08:24 |
| alimj | evilthought: DD-WR guys are much better with routers | 08:25 |
| evilthought | It'e EXT4 permission question -- nothing to do with DD-WRT | 08:25 |
| IdleOne | evilthought: The issue is not linux, the issue is windows not being able to write to ext4 (deleting a file is writing to disk) | 08:25 |
| === anderson is now known as Guest21601 | ||
| cfhowlett | evilthought, or you might make that particular partition windows friendly, i.e. NTFS ... | 08:25 |
| evilthought | IdleOne, that's not the issue .. the windows doen't read the files directly. The drive is connected to the router | 08:26 |
| alimj | evilthought: Most ASUS modems work differently with attached USB HDDs. Some routers support FTP uploads only | 08:26 |
| evilthought | That's not the issuie .. I can play the video from Windows machine just fine | 08:26 |
| IdleOne | playing a video is reading, which windows can do from ext4 | 08:26 |
| iceroot | evilthought: and how is it related to ubuntu? this is the ubuntu support channel and not the windows/router/ntfs channel | 08:26 |
| IdleOne | also what iceroot is saying, it isn't an Ubuntu issue | 08:27 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| evilthought | I can play video files, read pdf every thing works just fine. But I can delete a fgile .. it's ext4 permission issue | 08:27 |

| alimj | evilthought: Playing video could also be throught DLNA | 08:27 |
| alimj | evilthought: Did you try to upload files to it throught FTP? | 08:27 |
| evilthought | It's EXT4 ownership isue | 08:28 |
| thec4ke | evilthought: how are you connecting to the router from your pc, windows network? | 08:28 |
| IdleOne | evilthought: NO the issue is you not understanding, Windows CAN NOT write to ext4, when you delete a file you are writing to disk. | 08:28 |
| evilthought | Yes, Windows network .. even Android phone can connect to the drive via the router and play videos or read files just fine | 08:28 |
| iceroot | evilthought: windows is not seeing ext4, windows is seeing samba(cifs) or ntfs so its not a ext4 issue | 08:29 |
| alimj | Evilthought: If you think it is permission issue, connect it to a Linux Desktop and do a "chmod a+w" on the drive | 08:29 |
| iceroot | evilthought: and its offtopic as i said two times already | 08:29 |
| evilthought | I know that .. | 08:29 |
| iceroot | s/ntfs/nfs | 08:29 |

| alimj | Iceroot: I agree with You 8-) | 08:30 |
| evilthought | Didn't I already say that NTFS was not working properly with the router? It's linux based router .. NTFS was slow and files were being corrupted | 08:30 |
| evilthought | Anounymously | 08:30 |
| IdleOne | ok, enough. This is off topic and not an Ubuntu issue. Please take it elsewhere | 08:31 |
| iceroot | evilthought: then you are connecting as a guest and not as the owner of a file | 08:31 |
| iceroot | evilthought: guests/others/world does not have write permission by default | 08:31 |
| iceroot | evilthought: and its offtopic!!! | 08:31 |
| thec4ke | I'll try to point you in the right direction: this has nothing to do with ntfs, it's an issue with samba if your router is running linux | 08:31 |
| alimj | evilthought: ASUS modems have some AiDisk. However, it is offtopic as icreroot said earlier | 08:31 |
| evilthought | "guests/others/world does not have write permission by default" .. exactly .. bow we are on topic. How do I change permission (from Ubuntu) so that guests can the ownsership | 08:32 |
| thec4ke | basically you have to map the anonymous login to an account on the router and give that account write permission to things | 08:32 |
| evilthought | I cn connect the drive to Ubuntu VM and change permissions so that guests have full access to the folders .. but the question is how? | 08:33 |
| evilthought | let me paste the screen shot from ubuntu VM | 08:33 |
| apm1 | why can't i have 2 x sessions on 2 diff. ttys ? | 08:34 |
| iceroot | evilthought: dont change the permission (to 777) use user-mapping on samba | 08:34 |
| alimj | apm1: You can | 08:34 |
| iceroot | apm1: why not? | 08:34 |
| apm1 | well i just had a fatal xserver error here | 08:34 |
| thec4ke | apm1: did you try starting on a different display | 08:35 |
| thec4ke | virtual display* | 08:35 |
| apm1 | no | 08:35 |
| thec4ke | i think you can do "DISPLAY=:1 startx" or something similar | 08:35 |
| apm1 | a tried on a diff tty by switching with alt+ctrl+f1 | 08:35 |
| thec4ke | that wont work | 08:35 |
| thec4ke | DISPLAY needs to be set to something | 08:36 |
| apm1 | no | 08:36 |
| thec4ke | :0 is the first display | 08:36 |
| apm1 | yes | 08:36 |
| thec4ke | you get others as you increase the number | 08:36 |
| thec4ke | set that environment variable then try startx | 08:36 |
| apm1 | ok | 08:36 |
| apm1 | thec4ke, thanks , that worked :) | 08:36 |

| hilarious | i'm trying to modify what internet host is seen by other machines i connect to from my machine | 08:40 |
| hilarious | right now it is showing a mail server address | 08:40 |
| hilarious | anyone know whether i can change the default host that my ip resolves to without breaking my email ? | 08:40 |
| thec4ke | hilarious: is this over the internet or on a lan? | 08:41 |
| hilarious | rackspace cloud | 08:41 |
| hilarious | i'm not really running a mail server but i have one address being forwarded through it | 08:42 |
| evilthought | http://superuser.com/questions/174776/modify-fstab-entry-so-all-users-can-read-and-write-to-an-ext4-volume | 08:42 |
| hilarious | and several domains pointing to it | 08:42 |
| hilarious | it's over the internet like for example, if i connect to www.displaymyhostname.com | 08:42 |
| hilarious | it displays my mail server name | 08:42 |
| hilarious | i would assume then it also shows up in server connection logs etc | 08:43 |
| hilarious | when i connect to other sites | 08:43 |
| thec4ke | so you want sites on the internet to see your hostname? | 08:44 |
| hilarious | no i don't want them to really | 08:45 |
| hilarious | i realize they can look it up but if my hostname is going to resolve and show up in server logs | 08:45 |
| hilarious | i want to specify another one | 08:45 |
| thec4ke | thats a dns issue | 08:45 |
| hilarious | but i don't want to break my email | 08:45 |
| thec4ke | whoever has the public dns server controls your hostname online | 08:46 |
| thec4ke | which is probably your isp | 08:46 |
| thec4ke | if its you you need to set up your dns records | 08:46 |
| hilarious | you mean it has nothing to do with /etc/postfix/main.cf or other local file configurations on my machine ? | 08:46 |

| thec4ke | unless your talking about something the mail servers log | 08:47 |
| thec4ke | in which case idk | 08:47 |
| hilarious | that's fine but what does it have to do with | 08:47 |
| hilarious | like i said i have several domains pointing to the machine but it seems the default one the IP resolves to is mail.whatever.com | 08:48 |
| hilarious | and i don't want that domain to be the default at all, let alone the mail server subdomain for it | 08:48 |
| thec4ke | but you want certain machines to see mail.whatever.com? | 08:49 |
| thec4ke | but not the internet? | 08:49 |
| holmen | So i'm trying this again. Anyone online that is good with tunneling specific NIC through OpenVPN (i am not the host admin). I've got two separate NIC's with two diffrerent external IP's. I have setup a tunnel with "local <NIC #2 ext ip>" but i still tunnels the NIC #1. | 08:49 |
| Thor | anyone know where I can get help with fish? (the shell) | 08:49 |
| hilarious | ohir, i see that it is in my reverse DNS settings | 08:50 |
| hilarious | thecake - not really i mean i want mail to that domain to come to the machine | 08:50 |
| hilarious | i don't want machines to look at my IP and automatically resolve it to my mail server domain over any of my other domains | 08:51 |
| hilarious | but that is what it seems to do | 08:51 |
| hilarious | but i see that it's because i have reverse DNS set to that host | 08:51 |
| thec4ke | k so you wanted your ip to resolve to something other than mail.whatever.com | 08:53 |
| thec4ke | then yea you solved your problem! | 08:53 |

| Annihilator | i'm new to Linux coding. | 08:54 |
| Thor | Annihilator: it depends a lot on what language you are coding in, and what gui framework you are using, best is to find the channel for the framework you are using and ask there | 08:55 |

| dr_willis | State the problem | 08:59 |
| Ruby | hello I need some help | 08:59 |
| Ruby | I dont have a problem but I need to know how to do something | 08:59 |
| Ruby | boot ubuntu into readonly | 08:59 |
| god | i am a newbie on ubuntu and am having trouble getting the sound to sync up with the video | 08:59 |
| Ruby | I have a system already set up | 09:00 |
| Ruby | I dont want to set up a new one unless it is a mirrored readonly one | 09:00 |
| Ruby | just want to modify grub or something | 09:00 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: you mount specific partions/filesystems as read only. ive never seen a 'reboot into read only' mode | 09:00 |
| Ruby | how do I do that? | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | You can have most of / as read only except for a few system directories | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | its not a trivial thing. | 09:01 |
| god | i watch television online but i cannot get the sound to sync to the video | 09:01 |
| Ruby | I am a lil bit new | 09:01 |
| evilthought | I solved my problem! | 09:01 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: why do you need to do this? | 09:01 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|god | 09:01 |
| ubottu | god: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:01 |
| Ruby | why does that matter? | 09:02 |
| thec4ke | because mounting everything readonly will probably break some things | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: because tehre may be better ways to do whatever it is you are trying to acomplish | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | You CAN have most of the system read only. but not all of it. | 09:02 |
| Ruby | making so I dont write any data to my HDD | 09:02 |
| Ruby | like malware | 09:02 |
| evilthought | I had to use "# chmod -R 777 /media/AiDisk_a1: inside router console | 09:02 |
| thec4ke | theres basically no malware for linux | 09:03 |
| iceroot | evilthought: 777 is always bad | 09:03 |
| thec4ke | unless you do something very wrong | 09:03 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: if your user does somthing to install malware - then it will only affect teh users home dir/files | 09:03 |
| Ruby | ok | 09:03 |
| iceroot | evilthought: and still!! offtopic | 09:03 |
| Ruby | well its not a topic that I like talking about | 09:03 |
| god | can someone please help me? | 09:03 |
| evilthought | obviously there was solution | 09:03 |
| Ruby | mostly log files | 09:03 |
| iceroot | evilthought: make something insecure is never a solution | 09:03 |

| === trekkit is now known as egarals | ||
| dr_willis | Ruby: search for guides on having a read only system i guess. theres no trivial check ox option to do it as far as i know. | 09:04 |
| Ruby | I want to do it temporarily to a partition I already have ;) | 09:04 |
| thec4ke | the easy was is add the ro option to /etc/fstab | 09:04 |
| Ruby | I have done googling | 09:04 |
| evilthought | there is no OS on this drive. It's a USB drive with mostly video files connected to the router. There is no need for security here | 09:04 |
| Ruby | ok ill google that | 09:04 |
| thec4ke | but i guarantee that will break something | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: you can use the ro option.. but you may make a unuseable system | 09:04 |
| Ruby | I can reboot into non-ro and it will function properly? | 09:05 |
| hilarious | anyone know if i can tile my windows in ubuntu ? | 09:05 |
| thec4ke | yes | 09:05 |
| hilarious | or at least terminal windows ? | 09:05 |
| thec4ke | but | 09:05 |
| thec4ke | youll need a recovery console | 09:05 |
| thec4ke | to edit fstab | 09:05 |
| Ruby | ok | 09:05 |
| god | what is a good way to sync sound and video? | 09:05 |
| Ruby | I can go into that easily with grub | 09:05 |
| thec4ke | at minimum you need /var and /home to be writable just to use the system | 09:06 |
| cfhowlett | god, NONE of your videos are sound/video sync'd? | 09:06 |
| god | no | 09:07 |
| Ruby | that might be a issue seeing as /var/log and /home/name/.bash_history | 09:07 |
| god | youtube is fine but vlc is acting crazy | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | Ruby: and more then just those i imagine | 09:07 |
| cfhowlett | god, easiest way ... try a different player. | 09:07 |
| hilarious | what is my window manager if i use gnome classic ? | 09:07 |
| god | which one do you recomend? | 09:08 |
| hilarious | by default ? | 09:08 |
| Ruby | I am making a distro currently for personal use and I dont want to get all my files that are not supposed to be there on the system and such.. | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | god movie player works well for me ... | 09:08 |
| Ruby | well maybe I could make it so it writes everything into ram | 09:08 |
| Ruby | boots the HDD like its a livecd | 09:08 |
| Ruby | nothing changable | 09:08 |
| god | well, sometimes the site i stream off of only lets me use certain ones | 09:08 |
| cfhowlett | god, pretty sure you'll find movie player works with most providers ... | 09:09 |
| god | i will try it. | 09:09 |
| god | thanks! | 09:09 |
| cfhowlett | god, but if not, rather than stream the video, download and save it to play offline | 09:09 |
| cfhowlett | god, no worries. have fun, be safe. | 09:09 |
| god | i would download, but i have little to no space on this computer | 09:09 |
| cfhowlett | god, understood. | 09:10 |
| evilthought | this solved the problem http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8195/8379017919_93b86f77c0_b.jpg | 09:10 |
| god | i stream usually vlc works well and sometime putlocker does, but both have been crazy | 09:10 |
| Ruby | ill try -ro.. | 09:11 |
| god | i was trying to stream from cbs.com earlier and it was nuts too | 09:11 |
| cfhowlett | god, vlc is fickle that way ... | 09:11 |
| god | how can stream but pick a player that works? | 09:12 |
| cfhowlett | god, yep. | 09:12 |
| god | is there a way to do that? | 09:13 |
| cfhowlett | god, I think you'd need to start the player then navigate to the stream ... | 09:13 |
| god | i have no idea how to do that | 09:14 |
| cfhowlett | god also see the xine player | 09:14 |
| god | i will check zine out | 09:14 |
| god | xine | 09:14 |

| dr_willis | hkn1: you normally cant run mac/os-x binaries on linux | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | a .dmg is a OS-X disk image last i looked. ( i coul dbe wrong) | 09:19 |
| hkn1 | yes thats right so it's not possible ? :( | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | ive not seen a OS-X equilivent to wine on linux. ;) | 09:20 |
| dr_willis | Unless you could do OS-X in vbox or somting | 09:20 |
| hkn1 | Hmm, i saw something about a dmg2img thing didnt understand it XD | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | that would just convert it to a standard ISO type image.. | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | thats NOT running anything | 09:21 |
| thec4ke | is the .img an actual program or just files | 09:21 |
| hkn1 | it's a .dmg file from Apple Devolpment. | 09:21 |
| hkn1 | a program | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | I recall OS-X likieng to distribute programs in sort of a 'packaged archive' you sort of run. :) | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | like double clicking the .dmg would run the app in the package. sort of a neat trick | 09:22 |
| thec4ke | yea you can probably extract it but i doubt you would be able to run whats inside | 09:22 |

| dv- | untaken: how are you checking if it's enabled? | 09:40 |
| untaken | dv- I am not, but when I logout of unity, gdm is on both monitors. When xinerama is enabled, I have one for the login and one blank with the backdrop only. | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | untaken: have you troed a different session? like xfce? | 09:41 |
| untaken | dv-: as its not enabled at the gdm point, when I login to xmonad, I also notice that firefox for instance is on both windows | 09:42 |
| dv- | untaken: the displays are cloned? or the window is maximized over both screens? | 09:42 |

| Marscr | hola alguien me puede ayudar? | 09:48 |
| iceroot | Sri19: you need ppas where the package is not called firefox but firefox18 and so on, because you can only install one package with the same name | 09:49 |
| iceroot | Sri19: also you should only use the stable version | 09:49 |
| dv- | untaken: i believe xorg.conf is basically no longer necessary because everything is autodetected. you can still write one though. running X -configure as root should give you a basic xorg.conf | 09:50 |
| Sri19 | ice799, i know.. its for testing an app ... is there any such ppa with multiple versions? | 09:50 |

| arabi | hello .. i need to monitor my internet usage on monthly basis on ubuntu 12.10 .... can you sugggest any apps?? | 10:26 |

| arabi | in internet | 10:29 |
| arabi | ikonia, | 10:29 |
| ikonia | arabi: a very simple way is to do "ifconfig" on your interface and just look at the data transfer | 10:29 |
| ikonia | there are more advanced applications obviously, but that's a simple check | 10:30 |
| arabi | I am using a limited plan.. so i want to determine the usage for long time.. say one month | 10:30 |
| ikonia | my method will work | 10:30 |

| ikonia | in what way ? | 10:31 |
| amagee | hey, i had the proprietary ati drivers installed and i just installed them and now x won't load, is there some magic way to reinstall the open source ati drivers via the command line? ubuntu 12.04 | 10:31 |

| ikonia | arabi: by reading the numbers from the command I just told you | 10:32 |
| arabi | but once the connection is reset ... everything gone right? | 10:32 |
| arabi | when I connect again it starts from zero , i think | 10:33 |
| ikonia | arabi: it will depend on when the counters are reset, | 10:33 |
| ikonia | arabi: you'll need a more advanced monitoring app if you want to monitor it beyond counter resets | 10:33 |

| hkn1 | MonkeyDust, do you need first to go to the path to install the .deb ? | 10:58 |

| ubottu | meet,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:00 |

| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: well.. not crash, but the GUI crashes | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: have you tried generating an xorg.conf file? | 11:58 |
| BillyZane|2 | i have not, and i can try, however, i wanted to figure out a way to remove it if it fails like nvidia-current did | 11:59 |
| BillyZane|2 | the way i removed nvidia current was..... sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current | 11:59 |
| BillyZane|2 | can i use a similar command to install and remove the xorg drivers? | 11:59 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: sudo nvidia-xconfig reboot to test | 11:59 |
| apm1 | i am not sure what is happening here | 12:00 |
| BillyZane|2 | what does sudo nvidia-xconfig do? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: generates an xorg.conf | 12:01 |
| BillyZane|2 | that must be done before i start? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: run the command and reboot | 12:01 |
| BillyZane|2 | is it something that xorg drivers require before installing | 12:01 |
| BillyZane|2 | ok | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: it can be needed if your monitor isn't reporting EDID. | 12:02 |
| BillyZane|2 | ok | 12:02 |
| BillyZane|2 | umm one sec.. | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: cheap monitors usually need this :) | 12:02 |
| BillyZane|2 | not sure if that's what mine is | 12:02 |
| SmokeyD | hey everyone. I can't choose between multiple resolutions in the display resolotion screen on ubuntu for my laptop with integrated intel graphics | 12:04 |
| SmokeyD | it only shows the optimal resolution, but I want to lower it in order to mirror with a beamer | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: what make and model laptop?> | 12:04 |
| SmokeyD | sony vaio vpcz1 | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: do you only get 800x600 res? | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:05 |
| SmokeyD | ActionParsnip: no, only the proper resolution of 1600x900 | 12:05 |
| D_Russ | im looking for a way to access and download files (large or small) on my home computer from any computer connected to the internet. Anyone know of an easy way to accomplish this for an ubuntu newbie? | 12:05 |
| SmokeyD | I want to lower it | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: install openssh-server and you will get an SFTP server. You can access this securely over the web if you port forward TCP/22 in your router to the IP of the server | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:06 |
| SmokeyD | ActionParsnip: I am using precise pangolin with gnome desktop | 12:06 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: one sec, i'm writting down the commands | 12:06 |
| D_Russ | actionparsnip: how do i find out the ip of my server? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: run: ip addre | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: run: ip addr | 12:07 |
| D_Russ | okay thanks | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: you'll authenticate as the user on the system. you can even connect from Windows using Filezilla etc | 12:08 |
| D_Russ | actionparsnip: was kind of hoping for some sort of wed app like owncloud or something similar. | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: you can see your WAN IP with: http://ipchicken.com | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | D_Russ: not sure there, an sftp server is super quick and easy, and secure | 12:10 |
| rileyp | D Russ install deluge and its web client on ubuntu machine then any pc in house can add torrents to it once you add teh bit torrent add on to your browser and put in your ubuntu machines details | 12:10 |

| ActionParsnip | rileyp: transmission (default in ubuntu) also has web UI | 12:11 |
| ActionParsnip | SmokeyD: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga what is output? | 12:11 |
| rileyp | ah ok .... I like deluge.... well its what I use never even tried transmission. | 12:12 |
| D_Russ | Great thanks for the help actionparsnip and rileyp | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rileyp: its default, worth advising that, saves removing and adding apps :) | 12:12 |
| rileyp | I use mythbunu so its not in there for me | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rileyp: there are android apps to connectto deluge/transmission too (like torrentfu) :) | 12:13 |
| rileyp | Yep t I thought there would be I just haven't lurked there yet... I dont download much seeingI have 6 TB of recorded tv to watch when I get time... | 12:14 |

| JuJuBee | I have a lab of 25 computers. What is the best way to get Ubuntu installed on each with identical configs (all same computers)? | 12:22 |
| rileyp | BillyZane|2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html | 12:23 |
| BillyZane|2 | nileyp, i will give that a read :) | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | JuJuBee: set up on one then clone to the others | 12:24 |
| Hyperbyte | JuJuBee, LTSP. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | BillyZane|2: try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310 | 12:24 |
| Hyperbyte | JuJuBee, check http://www.ltsp.org/ | 12:24 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: : ok, i'll give that a try | 12:25 |
| Hyperbyte | JuJuBee, you can deploy fat client images over the network quite easily with even a very low powered server. Means only one installation to set up/maintain, and 25 or more clients that benefit from it. | 12:26 |
| JuJuBee | Hyperbyte: nice. Looks great. I have a Core2 Duo 2.2G with 8G RAM on my server and new computers i5 3.26G with 8G RAM clients. Seems like they should be reversed :D | 12:29 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: the link rileyp gave was great | 12:29 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: evidently the regular install causes major problems, which is what i was experiencing | 12:30 |
| BillyZane|2 | only problem is, my internet is so whack right now, i don't think i could even attempt this | 12:30 |
| Hyperbyte | JuJuBee, well, there's ltsp-pnp, which has identical image/software for thin and fat clients. Meaning, let's say you get a computer which is totally underpowered, you can let it be a thin client and use the server's hardware to run the software. From a user experience it won't make a single difference. I could explain more in #ltsp if you like. | 12:31 |
| PatrickDickey | Hyperbyte: Isn't that one of the concepts behind Edubuntu? In other words, that's something they offer | 12:32 |
| Hyperbyte | PatrickDickey, actually, Edubuntu installs/configures LTSP by default during setup. LTSP is included in all Ubuntu variants. | 12:32 |
| PatrickDickey | Hyperbyte, that's what I thought. I know Edubuntu actually uses it as a feature though (I've never really heard of it in the other variants--only Edubuntu). | 12:33 |
| Hyperbyte | Well, Edubuntu was created around LTSP. :) It includes other educational software as well. LTSP is used in lots of schools around the world. | 12:34 |
| JuJuBee | Hyperbyte: I will join #ltsp if you don't mind | 12:34 |
| Hyperbyte | JuJuBee, it's a public channel. Sure. | 12:34 |

| Ben64 | ...yes | 12:39 |
| noiro | Then it is not standalone. :P | 12:39 |
| noiro | I need to just run it off a flashdrive. | 12:39 |
| Ben64 | you keep using that word, i don't think it means what you think it means | 12:39 |
| noiro | I could have sworn it means its dependency files cna be stored in a file and you can run it from them. :P | 12:40 |
| Ben64 | the word you're looking for is "portable" | 12:41 |

| noiro | Ahh ok, thanks. Taking notes with nano, and pulling files is a pain. | 12:44 |
| BillyZane|2 | the second last step, it said file not found. so i did the last step anyway. at that point it restarted and went in to some weird mode where it just did nothing, so i reset the computer. now my desktop looks really crappy, the screen resolution is awful | 12:44 |
| Ben64 | BillyZane|2: modprobe nvidia_current ? | 12:45 |
| BillyZane|2 | yes | 12:46 |
| BillyZane|2 | that's the one i tried | 12:46 |
| Ben64 | ok... pastebin "lsmod" | 12:46 |

| hamnamnom | i use php with apache | 12:52 |

| Ben64 | oh | 12:55 |
| Ben64 | i'd recommend purging all the nvidia packages, and starting over, but using 310 since its better | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben64: hence the 'rc' for the package in the pastebin | 12:56 |
| BillyZane|2 | i feel like i messed up | 12:56 |
| BillyZane|2 | i'll try that then | 12:56 |
| BillyZane|2 | how do i purge? | 12:56 |
| BillyZane|2 | after purging i should try the command action gave me | 12:56 |
| Ben64 | his purges the 310 | 12:56 |
| BillyZane|2 | ok | 12:57 |
| BillyZane|2 | i'll do that now | 12:57 |

| BillyZane|2 | yup | 12:59 |

| BillyZane|2 | it's enabled atm | 13:00 |

| BillyZane|2 | i disable my on board display | 13:19 |
| hypopedata | By mistake I backed up to /media/$MYUSERNAME and filled up my main linux partition. Then I deleted the folder (using sudo), or so I thought. When I at some later point rebooted I got the warning "The system is running in low-graphics mode" (though the warning message is displayed in the normal resolution and colours). I press ok and get to choose between some options like "run in low graphics mode for just one session" but the comp | 13:19 |
| BillyZane|2 | it is currently on... | 13:19 |
| Ben64 | BillyZane|2: what happens now if you do "modprobe nvidia" | 13:19 |
| tor_ | I have downloaded .run file from Nvidia. Anyone knows how i install it?? | 13:19 |
| Ben64 | tor_: you should install nvidia from apt-get, not from nvidia's site | 13:20 |

| hypopedata | When I boot ubuntu in recovery mode, the computer always freezes when trying to mounting the partitions in read-write mode, but I can still mount them manually without any problems. Can someone help me? | 13:20 |
| BillyZane|2 | shoudl i disable my on board drivers when i restart? | 13:20 |

| BillyZane|2 | and the screen resolution is really small, but i think that's because it's activating the video card or something | 13:25 |

| Ben64 | BillyZane|2: you should be able to use nvidia-settings for that | 13:26 |

| Guest99274 | mansoor, try scp | 13:34 |

| mansoor-s | ohh | 13:34 |
| mansoor-s | i might jsut use dropbox | 13:34 |
| mansoor-s | maybe i'm over thinking this | 13:34 |

| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: well, i needed one, when i type sudo nvidia-xconfig , it created the file. by doing so, i was able to restore the screen resolution. and since the nvidia drivers are installed, i guess i'm good | 13:57 |
| cocomo | ioria: i am on unity am not on gnome shell | 13:57 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: however, do i need now to customize this xconfig file? | 13:57 |

| cocomo | usr13: yes it does | 13:59 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: i can't complain, the resolution seems great. the only thing is, i haven't tested out any games so i can't tell if i'm using the full power of the display | 14:00 |
| BillyZane|2 | ActionParsnip: next step is getting my sound card to work :D , but i'll leave that for another day | 14:00 |

| hypopedata | I need to type a password in a NetworkManager configuration file. like "password=whatever". The problem is, my password contains an "=", thus "password=passw=ord" or whatever. Must I put something before the second "="? | 14:15 |
| hypopedata | ...like a "\" in LaTeX | 14:16 |
| usr13 | hypopedata: NetworkManager should compensate for it. But, I just use passwords with regular characters | 14:17 |
| thoonai | usr13: #nginx is dead | 14:17 |
| Zapp83 | uragano2: ok, i'm out of ideas then i think! Other then dirty dirty workarounds. | 14:18 |

| xsumi5 | I noticed with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit that when I plug my earphones in the jack it appears that gnome has issues | 14:21 |
| Zapp83 | uragano2: good luck. really interesting problem you have there. :) | 14:22 |
| xsumi5 | My earphones have a mic and vol control like those shipped with an iPhone | 14:22 |
| usr13 | hypopedata: LIke I said, I'm pretty sure network-manager compensates for special characters. | 14:22 |
| xsumi5 | When I plug in standard headphones with no mic or vol controls it works fine | 14:22 |
| usr13 | hypopedata: Are you sure you are typing the passphrase correctly. | 14:22 |
| xsumi5 | The if I reboot, plug in standard earphones (no mic, controls) remove them, then plug in the earphones with the mic and vol ctrls it works fine. | 14:24 |
| hypopedata | usr13: Yes, the problem may lie elsewhere. | 14:25 |
| Zapp83 | xsumi5: Does the volyme control and mic work then also? | 14:26 |

| eagernewbie | I am confused by this command for burning an .iso file to a USB drive via terminal... The dd command? I guess I am supposed to fill in the name of the .iso file in the command "dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdb", but I don't know what else I should be filling or what. | 14:27 |
| Pici | dawkirst: Install the openssh-server package | 14:27 |
| usr13 | hypopedata: YOu are correct in figuring that the problem may be elsewhere, but you can look at the file that holds the passphrase in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/your-essid-here | 14:27 |
| xsumi5 | I just noticed earphones equipped with the mic and vol controls seem to cause the issue. I tried a pair from an iPhone, and from a Samsung. | 14:27 |
| eagernewbie | I know nothing about command line. :/ | 14:27 |
| xsumi5 | It in generally repeatable. | 14:28 |

| modifier | how to join .001 files in ubuntu ??...i have hjsplit but its not running and i found article stating cat can be used to join such files ? | 14:30 |
| xsumi5 | Thanks anyway guys, I'll try back later. | 14:30 |
| Zapp83 | xsumi5: Ok. My guess, and it is only a guess. Is that when you plug in the headset. it tries to guess what type of device it is. And the jack on your computer is not made for a headset from a phone! | 14:30 |
| jrib | modifier: just use cat | 14:30 |
| usr13 | hypopedata: And the files are also in the same place | 14:30 |
| xsumi5 | Zapp83: I'll agree it's trying to guess the device, but it's a normal pair of earphones. | 14:31 |
| modifier | jrib: cat something.filename.extension.xxx.00* > same.filename.same-extension.xxx ?? | 14:31 |
| xsumi5 | I may just give in a get a new pair of earbuds | 14:31 |
| hypopedata | usr13: The password is correct, because it is not a problem logging on in graphics mode. -- In the tutorial, it says "password-flags=1", here the line is "Xauth password-flags=1". Under [vpn-secrets], I have tried to add password=abc, Xauth password=abc, xauth-password=abc, but nothing changes. | 14:31 |
| jrib | modifier: sure. as long as your glob expands to what you want and in the right order | 14:31 |
| hypopedata | usr13: Yes, the files in the identical place. | 14:31 |

| hje841 | how do I upgrade to g++ 4.7 ? | 14:33 |
| hypopedata | usr13: I figure the problem must be in this configuration file since I get the error message immediately, and if the program were trying to connect it would take some time as it does in graphics mode. | 14:33 |

| rigo_ | cause u asked for the lshw -C network | 15:03 |
| modifier | if copy then can be used as backup utility also like rsync ? | 15:03 |
| usr13 | _joey: If your nick is set to DHCP, it will grab the IP info from the DHCP server of your router and re-write the resolv.conf file. One thing you might do is change the router configs so that it gives out the nameserver IP you want to use. | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rigo_: no, I said to run the command, cold boot the OS and unload then reload the driver. I never said to give the output | 15:04 |
| modifier | and can it copy to disks ? cd dvd etc ? | 15:04 |
| NET||abuse | slightly off topic, anyone know a good model of 32" monitor for mounting on the wall to show our stats all day, CI build outputs, site traffic etc.. Something with really good power usage. | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | rigo_: scroll up. Try reading whjat I write, rather than what you think I write | 15:04 |
| MonkeyDust | modifier i use rsync -a to backup to an external disk | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | modifier: you'll use dd for that | 15:04 |
| modifier | ok | 15:04 |
| GoldenApple | Hello. When I try to watch a video on the Internet (Youtube, etc) I get a black screen where the video should appear. How I can fix it? | 15:04 |
| usr13 | _joey: Or, if you're using network-manager, try changing the connection information there. | 15:05 |
| MonkeyDust | GoldenApple in firefox? | 15:05 |
| GoldenApple | Yes | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | GoldenApple: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 15:05 |
| MonkeyDust | GoldenApple right click on the video, it's an accelleration issue | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | GoldenApple: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 15:05 |
| usr13 | _joey: If you are using static IP, you could just uninstall network-manager and use the config files | 15:05 |

| _joey | usr13: i use static ip | 15:09 |
| ephemeral | How come when I setup a script on startup for xrandr to set the resolution and then feh to set the desktop wallpaper, it never sets the wallpaper and I have to set it manually? | 15:09 |
| MonkeyDust | _joey insert the usb key, reboot from usb, follow instructions to install ubuntu on its own partition(s) | 15:10 |
| GoldenApple | This is the correct output. http://pastebin.com/tn2MLSVz | 15:10 |
| usr13 | _joey: Then set your NIC to static IP | 15:10 |
| _joey | usr13: 2) I am install linux on a HDD that already has another OS installed. I will allocated a partition. After installation Linux on the HDD, I want to install bootloader on a USB sticks rather than the HDD that hosts Linux | 15:10 |
| GoldenApple | Sorry | 15:10 |
| _joey | it is set to static IP | 15:10 |
| _joey | but the system changes resolv.conf contents after each reboot | 15:11 |
| usr13 | _joey: Not sure why that would happen, but I suppose you could uninstall network-manager. | 15:12 |
| MonkeyDust | _joey restart the network after you modified resolv.conf | 15:12 |
| _joey | what does network-manager do? | 15:12 |
| histo | _joey: connects you to a network | 15:12 |
| _joey | usr13: it's a known problem on Ubuntu i.e. updating reslov.conf that is manually updated | 15:12 |
| histo | _joey: or more accurately manages your network connection | 15:12 |
| histo | _joey: it's not a problem that's what it does | 15:13 |

| histo | usr13: I don't believe wicd will overwrie the resolve conf | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | joey open /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and add your nameservers there because it writes to /etc/resolv.cong ..you can safely ignore the warning and of course as usr13 advises , remove network manager | 15:15 |

| _joey | what is the name of the service? | 15:16 |
| histo | _joey: you can just stop network-manager from starting if you update your services. | 15:16 |
| GoldenApple | MonkeyDust I have done click right and still the same | 15:16 |
| usr13 | _joey: That's up to you. | 15:16 |
| usr13 | _joey: But I dont see why you would have it installed if you're not going to use it. | 15:17 |
| histo | _joey: try somehting like sudo update-rc.d network-manager remove | 15:17 |
| _joey | i will stop the service and see how the system plays first, later i may uninstall it | 15:17 |
| usr13 | _joey: I've given you the simpliest method. Take it or leave it. | 15:18 |

| histo | usr13: please | 15:18 |
| _joey | usr13: basically, that's the only method you know | 15:19 |
| histo | _joey: let me find the appropiate way with upstart | 15:19 |
| usr13 | _joey: WHy don't you just change the router configs? | 15:19 |
| _joey | the router? | 15:19 |
| _joey | how do you know if I even use the router? | 15:19 |
| _joey | there may not be a router on local network | 15:19 |
| usr13 | _joey: Ok, then what are you connecting to? | 15:19 |
| usr13 | _joey: There is a router somewhere, that is for sure. | 15:20 |
| _joey | directly to public network which routes the traffic through the router to which I have no access | 15:20 |
| _joey | Got it? | 15:20 |
| _joey | I doubt | 15:20 |
| usr13 | _joey: Ok. You do not have access to the router. Fine. | 15:20 |
| llutz | _joey: configure your network in /etc/network/interfaces, make sure to include a "dns-nameservers 1.2.3.4" line (change to your dns). then the iface should be ignored by networkmanager | 15:23 |

| usr13 | histo: Or, unless he does: sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 15:26 |
| _joey | histo: thanks but "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" E212: Can't open file for writing | 15:26 |
| llutz | histo: nm is supposed to ignore ifaces already configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:26 |

| brecker | no raid discs* | 15:32 |
| usr13 | _joey: Sure would be easier if you DID remove it. :) | 15:33 |

| _joey | there are files in /etc and /etc is a directory | 15:40 |
| _joey | Jesus, all I asked is to stop the system upgrading /etc/resolv.conf after reboot :)) | 15:41 |
| _joey | updating rather | 15:41 |
| histo | _joey: you just have to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Disabling_NetworkManager | 15:41 |
| rumpel | _joey, then you gave inexact/false informations: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root for /etc -> it's not a directory | 15:41 |
| usr13 | _joey: And I told you how to do that. | 15:41 |
| histo | _joey: but you are having bigger issues if you are saying that /etc is -rw-r--r-- | 15:41 |
| _joey | you are an idiot | 15:41 |
| histo | _joey: that is not a directory | 15:41 |
| _joey | if you all your solutions are "remove it" | 15:42 |
| bazhang | _joey, stop that | 15:42 |

| histo | _joey: What are you doing to test that resolv.conf is being overwritten | 16:03 |
| TomyLobo | can i always update to the next LTS before the lifetime of a release runs out? or was that a coincidence in the past? | 16:03 |
| histo | TomyLobo: sure you ucan | 16:03 |
| ActionParsnip | TomyLobo: you can upgrade LTS to LTS, it is supported | 16:03 |

| histo | TomyLobo: you'd have to take each upgrade along the way I believe | 16:04 |

| apm1 | perfect 100% hardware support with linux 3.2 | 16:07 |
| histo | _joey: okay and you edited resolv.conf prior to rebooting after making changes to interfaces right? | 16:07 |
| donttrustem | apm1: Is it quicker that the mac sox | 16:07 |
| TomyLobo | meet, should work out of the box | 16:07 |

| donttrustem | apm1: I am running 10.7 | 16:08 |
| apm1 | ActionParsnip, the unity default config i meant | 16:08 |
| _joey | resolv.conf is updated after reboot | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | apm1: probably then ;)/ But default doesn't mean much in Linux land | 16:08 |

| histo | _joey: I was just saying to double check with ps aux | grep NetworkManager && ps aux | grep network-manager | 16:09 |
| _joey | you keep asking me about if the network manager is running. I am telling you there is NO!!! network-manager running | 16:10 |

| hypopedata | apm1: Thanks! | 16:10 |

| histo | _joey: also the output of my command after a reboot | 16:11 |
| TomyLobo | meet, ifconfig | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: why not keep openjdk, the java used will be symlinked, so you dont have to uninstall anything | 16:11 |
| donttrustem | TomyLobo: For a MacBook intel | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: I recommend to webupd8 ppa | 16:11 |
| TomyLobo | donttrustem, those are emt64, aka amd64 | 16:11 |
| meet | TomyLobo: thanks :) | 16:12 |
| everestt | ActionParsnip, won't there be any leftovers still being used somewhere...somehow? | 16:12 |
| histo | _joey: if you really want to make sure you could just remove the network-manager application. Then there is no way that it could be doing it. | 16:12 |
| _joey | histo: brb | 16:12 |
| TomyLobo | donttrustem, except if you have one of the very very first intel macs. they had IA64 | 16:12 |
| usr13 | histo: You guys should move to PM | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: no, the java binary is a symlink to the desired java. You can switch as you desire. | 16:12 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: same with python | 16:12 |
| histo | usr13: no because I have no other ideas as to what is doing it. | 16:13 |
| everestt | ActionParsnip, ah! ok ...Thanks a lot :) | 16:13 |
| histo | usr13: someone else may need to chime in | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: no worries. I recommend you disable Java in libreoffice if you don't use its functrionality, makes it load faster | 16:13 |
| usr13 | histo: You are correct. uninstalling network-manager is easy. (He can always re-install it if he ever wanted to use it again.) | 16:13 |
| everestt | ActionParsnip, what part of libreoffice specifically uses java? | 16:14 |
| donttrustem | TomyLobo: I cannot find IA64 in the images | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | everestt: not sure but I use it enough and i've not seen an issue in all the time I've used it | 16:14 |
| everestt | ActionParsnip, libreoffice-java-common isn't installed in my system... is that the file? | 16:15 |
| usr13 | histo: If one has trouble controlling an application, removing it is the easy solution. | 16:15 |

| histo | _joey: is this a desktoptop system? | 16:25 |
| _joey | another recommendation of removing | 16:25 |
| ogra_ | (and make sure to have proper entries in your /etc/resolv.conf) | 16:25 |
| histo | ogra_: what? | 16:26 |
| _joey | ogra_: i think this may do the trick | 16:26 |
| ogra_ | _joey, /etc/resolv.conf pretty prominently says what is used to update it at the top comment of that file | 16:26 |
| _joey | ogra_: the system also wants to remove ubuntu-minimal | 16:26 |
| _joey | what's ubuntu-minimal? | 16:27 |
| ogra_ | yes, since resolvconf is a default app | 16:27 |
| ogra_ | its a meta package like i.e. ubuntu-desktop | 16:27 |
| _joey | ogra_: thanks. I am pretty damn reading comments about network-manager in this room while not reading what's in /etc/resolv.conf | 16:28 |

| llutz | add you nameserver entries to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and don't remove resolvconf, done | 16:28 |
| ogra_ | yeah, llutz surely has a more proper solution | 16:28 |
| histo | _joey: you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf | 16:28 |
| _joey | ogra_: if ubuntu-minimal is removed, the system will not be broken? | 16:28 |
| ogra_ | mine was rather the sledgehammer one | 16:28 |
| histo | _joey: and stop it from dynamically updating. Although I don't know how it is | 16:29 |
| ogra_ | _joey, nope | 16:29 |

| pijush | @usr13 after the insertion of disk , (boot from cd/dvd) screen get burn and nothing happening | 16:54 |
| drPoo | Tex_Nick, so I should put the commands I want to run at startup inside that file? | 16:55 |
| pijush | samsung don't offer any support for ubuntu | 16:55 |
| usr13 | pijush: What do you mean by the screen getting burn? | 16:55 |
| cousteau | google seems to suggest mount -o remount,rw / | 16:56 |
| drPoo | Tex_Nick, I was looking at examples that use the following method: 1) create a script and store it in /etc/init.d then run "sudo update-rc.d myscript defaults 98 02" | 16:56 |
| pijush | screen get white | 16:56 |
| Tex_Nick | drPoo : no ... create your script somewhere ... then symlink to it | 16:56 |
| usr13 | drPoo: What does your script do? | 16:56 |
| pijush | slowly slowly | 16:56 |
| drPoo | usr13, it starts custom programs that are to run in the backgroupd | 16:57 |
| usr13 | drPoo: You could just put it in /etc/rc.local | 16:57 |
| cousteau | ok, I'll assume `mount -o remount,rw /` is the way to go, and try to memorize that command | 16:57 |
| drPoo | usr13, I did not understand how am i to incorporate my commands into /etc/rc.local, do i simply add them to that file? | 16:58 |

| MonkeyDust | circle on top of | 17:29 |
| circle | MonkeyDust: ok, and a DE like XFCE, will that come with a window manager | 17:29 |
| ogra_ | window managers are usually a part of the desktop env | 17:30 |
| circle | so just installing a DE is ok? | 17:30 |
| ogra_ | they "manage windows" (draw frames, and window buttons etc) | 17:30 |
| ogra_ | yes, normally that should be ok ... ubuntu usually has *-desktop metapackages for installing a DE | 17:30 |
| cousteau | circle, I think it goes like this: X11 server { display manager { desktop environment { shell (sometimes) { window manager { window decorator | 17:31 |
| ogra_ | i.e. if you want xfce you install xubuntu-desktop | 17:31 |
| ogra_ | for lxde lubuntu-desktop and so on | 17:31 |
| cousteau | ogra_, you can have the Openbox window manager running under XFCE | 17:31 |

| bennett1 | Hi! I am trying to understand here the /etc/shadow file. Are the passwords stored as a MD5 hash? I've read that they are, but I tried converting my own password to md5 and comparing it to the one in the shadow file, and they are different | 17:43 |
| bennett1 | anyone knows why? | 17:43 |
| dcherniv | bennett1, its not md5, pbbly blowfish or somehing stronger | 17:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Good to be back in Ubuntu again! | 17:44 |
| bennett1 | dcherniv: hm, any idea on where to find that info? | 17:44 |
| histo | bennett1: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/shadow-file-formats.html | 17:44 |
| cousteau | bennett1, maybe man shadow | 17:45 |
| bennett1 | man shadow doesn't say the algorithm | 17:45 |
| bennett1 | histo: taking a look, thanks | 17:45 |
| bennett1 | histo: doens't say the algorithm either | 17:46 |
| cousteau | bennett1, I think it might be crypt() | 17:47 |
| cousteau | man 3 crypt | 17:47 |
| cousteau | not sure, though | 17:47 |
| histo | bennett1: did you look at man shadow? | 17:48 |
| bennett1 | cousteau: yeah, man crypt has the info | 17:48 |
| histo | bennett1: crypt DES probably salted also | 17:48 |
| bennett1 | histo: yes, it doenst contain info on the algorithm | 17:48 |
| bennett1 | it''s SHA-512 | 17:49 |
| bennett1 | whatever that is | 17:49 |
| cousteau | bennett1, not sure if it's crypt what shadow uses, but I think it is | 17:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | SHA-512 is an algorithm for verifying checksums | 17:49 |
| cousteau | SHA-512 is a 512-bit SHA algorithm | 17:49 |
| histo | cousteau: I think you can use multiple formats with crypt | 17:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | In the tradition of MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 | 17:49 |
| cousteau | like SHA1 | 17:49 |
| cousteau | (SHA1 uis 160 bits, MD5 is 128 bits) | 17:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | cousteau: Correct | 17:50 |
| bennett1 | man shadow cites man 3 crypt | 17:50 |
| bennett1 | and the password is preceeded by a $6$ | 17:50 |
| bennett1 | indicating it is SHA-512 | 17:50 |
| histo | cousteau: crypt can do md5 blowfish sha-256 sha-512 according the the man page | 17:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And, of course, typically the more bits an encrypt algorithm is, the more secure it is | 17:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *the 1st is = has | 17:50 |
| bennett1 | SonikkuAmerica: what is a checksum? | 17:50 |
| cousteau | bennett1, those passwords are like $<algo>$<salt>$<encrypted_password> | 17:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bennett1: I hate to be lazy but: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum | 17:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Or rather: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum | 17:52 |
| bennett1 | SonikkuAmerica: it's ok, I'm reading it :P | 17:52 |
| histo | bennett1: what are you trying to crack it with? | 17:52 |
| cousteau | for example, $5$abc$defghij means 5=SHA512, salt = abc, password = defghij (encrypted) | 17:52 |
| * cousteau leaves | 17:53 | |
| Tex_Nick | SonikkuAmerica : wikipedia isn't lazy ... tis a good resource :-) | 17:53 |
| bennett1 | histo: right now I'm just trying to understand the file | 17:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Tex_Nick: True, but I was being lazy. | 17:53 |
| histo | bennett1: here's a cracking tutorial | 17:53 |
| bennett1 | well, happy to know that it is something safer than md5 | 17:53 |
| Tex_Nick | understood :) | 17:53 |
| histo | bennett1: well not really safe but thank god it's salted | 17:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Well then what's $6$ at the beginning if $5$ is SHA-512? | 17:55 |
| bennett1 | SonikkuAmerica: $5$ is SHA-256, according to man 3 crypt | 17:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | [12:52] <cousteau> for example, $5$abc$defghij means 5=SHA512, salt = abc, password = defghij (encrypted) <<< then cousteau messed this line up | 17:56 |

| ActionParsnip | DexterF: it will give you 64bit flash for 64bit OS | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | |Anthony|: the partner repo, you can use software centre, or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and enagble it that way, same difference | 19:02 |
| DexterF | ActionParsnip: but I already have 64bit flash :) | 19:02 |
| Tex_Nick | ActionParsnip : a bit ago i saw that you're using Raring ... i'm downloading iso now ... how is that working for you ... stable enough to replace 12.10 ... 12.10 is working great for me, however i kinda like to tip-toe on the razors edge :-) | 19:02 |

| VaultDweller13 | compdoc: when i try to config them | 19:24 |

| VaultDweller13 | blkadder: i saw that, the question is interfaces config | 19:25 |
| compdoc | VaultDweller13, you have network manager running? or are you editing /etc/netowork/interfaces? | 19:25 |
| compdoc | *network | 19:26 |
| VaultDweller13 | compdoc: second | 19:26 |
| blkadder | VaultDweller13: So what specifically are you having an issue with? | 19:26 |
| blkadder | You say you are losing a NIC? What do you mean by that? | 19:26 |
| compdoc | VaultDweller13, do you ever check your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? Unfortunately, that file changes when one nic is ready at boot, and the others arent ready | 19:27 |
| VaultDweller13 | blkadder: dhcp doesnt get through it..for some reason | 19:27 |
| VaultDweller13 | compdoc: yes, i did | 19:27 |
| blkadder | So it is not offering leases? | 19:27 |
| VaultDweller13 | blkadder: yeap.. | 19:27 |
| blkadder | And is the NIC active/up? | 19:28 |
| compdoc | VaultDweller13, you can define your own udev rules so it never changes | 19:28 |

| compdoc | VaultDweller13, can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ? | 19:29 |
| VaultDweller13 | compdoc: there's a post on forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12455220&posted=1#post12455220 | 19:30 |
| compdoc | VaultDweller13, and if network-manager is installed, remove any nics listed in there, I think. Been a while since Ive had it installed | 19:30 |

| llutz | angs: what do you want to do exactly? | 19:50 |
| angs | llutz: I want to make the file executable. | 19:51 |
| ernest_ | I upgraded my system to the latest x32 of ubuntu, when i put my driver cd that came with my biostar A880g+ it wont boot to install the drivers so i can run my HDMI port | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Angs: are you using gubuntu? | 19:51 |
| tion | soft center is slow as hell and crashes | 19:51 |
| angs | no it is ubuntu 12.10 just I renamed as gubuntu | 19:51 |
| dr_willis | angs: theres options you can give when you mount a fat32 fs to make EVERY file show up as executable.. if you need this for wine. i find it easier to just use the cli and do a 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' | 19:52 |
| awesomess3 | erncic, are you sure the driver CD is compatible with ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| NuSuey | ah, something non-general to ubuntu, but what could could I use in ubuntu to denoise video? :/ | 19:52 |
| dr_willis | I really dont see the whole point of exe files being executable in order for that wine launcher to work. there may be some other work arounds | 19:52 |
| ernest_ | when i installed oneiric before on this MB im almost sure i used this driver CD and it booted | 19:53 |
| ernest_ | the files are windows tho. They are .exe. but like i said it booted before for what i remember | 19:53 |
| angs | dr_willis: thank you. how can I make only one file executable? or is it easier to change fat32 to ext2? | 19:55 |
| dr_willis | angs: easies is to use the cli. | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Angs: you can mount the whole file system executable and be ok | 19:56 |
| dr_willis | angs: converting just for wine.. is a little.. overkill | 19:56 |
| dr_willis | the askubuntu.com site might have some other work arounds that i dont know about also angs | 19:56 |
| angs | dr_willis, ActionParsnip: thank you | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | for some reason the .exe files are assoicated with a wine 'preloader binary tool' for security reasns it insists they be executable.. | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | even tho they are really not 'linux excutables' | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | seems to be to be a very bad way to put some security on somthing | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: its tiring | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | but i never launch .exe's via double clicking on them anyway. | 19:58 |
| ernest_ | Since i cant use the driver CD that came with my Biostar A880G+ since it seems its for windows only. How do I go about getting the drivers I need? | 19:58 |

| escott | mathe_frage, before dumping the table on us could you explain the issue | 21:21 |
| mathe_frage | my network configuration: http://pastebin.com/PMfRhr0A | 21:21 |
| noiro | (though I'm not evne sure if eclipse has a CLI version) | 21:21 |
| escott | noiro, why would that now work? | 21:21 |
| escott | noiro, why would that not work? | 21:21 |
| noiro | It would require a ton of bandwidth and ssh is super slow. It'd lag too much to be of much use. | 21:21 |
| Bsims | Benxyzzy: last stupid console trick try calendar | 21:21 |
| escott | noiro, if you are having an issue with that state the issue | 21:21 |
| mathe_frage | escott i can: i simply have 3 pcs | 21:21 |
| k1l | mathe_frage: you know that 11.04 is EOL ? | 21:22 |
| Bsims | I'm trying to install remastersys... I've added the key and the repo to apt but it still says unauthenticated package and will not install any ideas? | 21:22 |
| mathe_frage | 2 windows clients and 1 ubuntu 11.04 router, from my windows client i can ping both gateways but not the other windows client | 21:22 |
| escott | noiro, X isn't actually bandwidth heavy which is part of the problem, but it is very latency sensitive. many people are now switching to more bandwidth intensive but less latency sensitive things like freeNX or VNC | 21:22 |
| k1l | and if its a router i would definitely recommend to upgrade first because of the security updates the services got recently. | 21:23 |
| mathe_frage | its only for testing in a virtual machine | 21:23 |
| escott | mathe_frage, perhaps you should look into bridging | 21:24 |
| noiro | I really don't need VNC and I personally find VNC buggy (in addition to requiring refresh rates). Isn't FreeNX work much like SSH in that you can open individual windows from the server on the machine instead of being forced to see the entire screen? | 21:24 |

| cinco | i have a good computer in my opinion, but i feel like the gui working slow, anyone else have that problem? im using unity atm | 21:28 |

| thebishop | cinco, what video card? what driver? | 21:28 |
| mathe_frage | not one of the 2 windows hosts, windows firewall disabled | 21:29 |
| cinco | geforce gtx 580 with the latest drivers from nvidia | 21:29 |
| wbf | cinco, try saying sudo apt-get install lxde | 21:29 |
| wbf | cinco, then when you login pick lxde and your set :D | 21:29 |

| k1l | cinco: latest driver from homepage or driver from the official repos? | 21:30 |
| cinco | k1l: apt-get install nvidia-experimental-310 | 21:31 |

| pale3 | ima ko od vas da koristi mpd? | 21:31 |
| k1l | cinco: ah ok. that driver works good here. | 21:31 |
| mathe_frage | escott because it would be cool to configure dhcp scopes | 21:31 |
| cinco | wbf: lxde gnome look alike? | 21:31 |
| mathe_frage | i can only see how those things works when i try it | 21:31 |
| mathe_frage | with full class-c there is nothing to learn | 21:32 |
| wbf | cinco, lxde looks like windows kinda if you deck it out but I'll send you a screenshot of what It looks like | 21:32 |
| escott | mathe_frage, wouldnt that be a good thing? | 21:32 |

| ernest_ | The additional drivers tab on 12.10 doesnt have the drivers I need, help please | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | orudie, what do you want to use , analog or digital out ? | 21:42 |
| winterpk | Apparently I need a boot partition for raid 0 to work. How do I do this if I only have 2 dirves? | 21:42 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, are there any drivers listed there ? | 21:43 |
| escott | winterpk, you partition the drive and then give partitions to the array. | 21:43 |
| winterpk | escott: I couldn't figure out exactly what you told me to do earlier | 21:43 |
| cinco | ernest_: what do you ned driver for? | 21:43 |
| orudie | BluesKaj: I just want to know how to change between them at any time | 21:43 |
| sybariten | How the hell do i get to the font settings, to turn off hinting and such? | 21:43 |
| winterpk | ok but then why does it say I need a boot partition? | 21:43 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, no there isnt | 21:44 |
| escott | winterpk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 21:44 |
| BluesKaj | orudie, install pavucontrol , that's the easiest way , it gives those options | 21:44 |
| ernest_ | The HDMI port on my Biostar A880G+ doesnt work, i remeber additional drivers dled the drivers in oneiric | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, and what's your graphics card ? | 21:45 |
| escott | winterpk, you | 21:45 |
| ernest_ | Blueskaj, Is this what you need: ATI Radeon HD4250? | 21:46 |
| escott | winterpk, you've been very vague about what difficulties you are having. so i have to be equally vague in response | 21:46 |
| winterpk | this is the part that confuses me escott: Warning: the /boot filesystem cannot use any softRAID level other than 1 with the stock Ubuntu bootloader. | 21:46 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, its integrated onto the MB | 21:46 |
| winterpk | I am not being vague. I get the bootloader error | 21:46 |
| winterpk | trying to set up RAID 0 with two HDD's I get the bootloader error. Obviously I need /boot, but I don't know how to do that with RAID 0 | 21:47 |
| orudie | BluesKaj: can't see the option there | 21:47 |
| escott | winterpk, grub has trouble reading RAID0. you should have a /boot partition that is not RAIDed or is RAID1. what is confusing about that | 21:47 |
| redheadcupcake | Can someone help me with copying Tails to a USB drive. I have the .iso file, it just wont work per the instructions on the tails website | 21:47 |
| ccc | Hi guys | 21:48 |
| === bearovercloud_ is now known as bearovercloud | ||
| ccc | I am trying to get hMail email server running. I installed it in wine as a windows 2000 program | 21:48 |
| winterpk | escott: Its confusing because I'm using only 2 HDD's and can't understand how make a /boot partition on them | 21:48 |
| escott | winterpk, you partition the disk, and when you create your mdadm raid arrays you either don't raid the smaller partition for /boot or you RAID1 the /boot partitions | 21:48 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, did I give you the info you neede? | 21:49 |
| ccc | but since it is adminstarted by an icon in the systray of windows how do i access the admin through wine? | 21:49 |
| Ziber | My mysql refuses to start, syslog says it's respawning to fast. Thoughts on fixing this? | 21:49 |
| BluesKaj | orudie, look in the oitputs tab and use the dropdowns to choose | 21:49 |
| orudie | BluesKaj: thanks, looking there now ... | 21:49 |
| escott | winterpk, you create the partition before you create the mdadm raid array. unless you aren't using mdadm i really don't see what could possibly be confusing about this | 21:49 |
| winterpk | escott: ok so I should partition only like 95% of both discs? How is this NOT confusing? | 21:49 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, yes ...checking | 21:49 |
| orudie | BluesKaj: okay, I have a USB headset, its not shown there, unless it shows up as "headphones" | 21:50 |
| blkadder | Ziber: Something in your config may be foobard... | 21:50 |
| escott | winterpk, yes, you RAID0 across sda2/sdb2 which is slightly less than the full disk | 21:50 |
| winterpk | escott: ok that makes sense. So I how much storage should I leave behind for the /boot? | 21:50 |
| orudie | BluesKaj: yeah its not losted there | 21:51 |
| escott | winterpk, 1GB is certainly sufficient | 21:51 |
| ccc | how are windows services treated in wine? | 21:51 |
| Ziber | blkadder: It's a freshly installed system... | 21:51 |
| escott | winterpk, if you want to have swap there is no good reason to put swap on raid so also pull that out | 21:51 |
| blkadder | Ziber: What do the logs say? | 21:51 |
| Ziber | blkadder: syslog? or mysql.log? | 21:51 |
| blkadder | Let's try syslog. | 21:52 |
| winterpk | escott: ok I will. so my problem now is that I already created the raid array with all my storage. How do I delete it or resize it? | 21:52 |
| Ziber | blkadder: http://pastebin.com/80cXWU6W | 21:53 |
| escott | winterpk, you can delete it by deleting the entire partition table on both disks and creating a new one, im sure you could resize it by first resizing whatever filesystem is on that raid device and then shrinking the raid container | 21:53 |
| winterpk | escott: thank you | 21:53 |
| iceroot | escott: swap should also be on the raid, raid is for "high available" and if one HDD is failing (and it is the hdd which is holding swap" your system may be dead | 21:54 |
| orudie | so in ubuntu there is no easy way to switch between default audio autput as it is in windows, correct ? | 21:54 |

| BluesKaj | ernest_,the default driver should work with your graphics card | 21:56 |
| ccc | i dont like yahoo having acess to all my email | 21:56 |
| iceroot | ccc: just a suggestion, dont host a public mailserver if you dont know how to manage it. normally it will end in open spam relays | 21:56 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, how come I cant get the HDMI to the tv working then? I have it set up on mirror | 21:56 |
| ccc | it wont be public | 21:57 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, mirror ? | 21:57 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, Also the display tab sees the tv but nothing is displayed | 21:57 |
| ccc | i am going to get a free dns | 21:57 |
| iceroot | ccc: ? a non public mailserver to replace your yahoo account? | 21:57 |
| ccc | from freedns.org | 21:57 |
| ccc | yes | 21:57 |
| iceroot | ccc: you cant host mailservers with freedns | 21:57 |
| iceroot | ccc: and its still public then | 21:57 |
| ccc | yes you can i already have with hmail server in wondows | 21:57 |
| ernest_ | blueskaj, this MB has vga, hdmi, and dvi, I can run vga and hdmi at the same in mirror, but i see nothing on the tv and i do on the vga | 21:58 |
| iceroot | ccc: if you host a mailserver with your private ip adress from your dsl account most mailservers will block your mails because these ip ranges are blocked (to much spam) | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, have you checked that you have the correct input from your pc selected on the tv? | 21:58 |
| cinco | ernest_: might be wrong resoluition? | 21:58 |
| DexterF | usr13: just hooked up the laptop's eth0 to my regular router's WAN port and set the router to dhcp - works and ubuntu does all the NATting. duh :) (the umts stunt from earlier today) | 21:58 |
| escott | iceroot, he is going RAID0 | 21:58 |
| iceroot | escott: ah sorry didnt saw it, thought RAID1 | 21:59 |
| ccc | how would you suggest a person have thier own email adress then that isnt under control of 'the system' | 21:59 |
| ernest_ | bluesKaj and cinco, I see the Bios setup on the tv and vga but when i boot ubuntu no more on the tv, also i have tried every resolution listed | 21:59 |

| tbruff13 | iceroot, can i ask you for some help if possible | 22:00 |
| cinco | ernest_: you cant get anything on your tv at all? | 22:00 |
| iceroot | tbruff13: just ask the channel, if someone knows the answe he/she will help you :) | 22:00 |
| ccc | that sounds complicated | 22:00 |
| ernest_ | cinco, only bios setup, but nothing ubuntu related | 22:00 |
| ccc | i am a frim bleiever that yahoo and gmail should not control the world of email | 22:00 |
| ccc | firm believer | 22:00 |

| schmoost1r | hi all... is there a specific place I can ask about issues with 13.04/raring? | 22:01 |
| iceroot | ccc: it will end up in a warez-server, open spam relay and so on | 22:01 |
| iceroot | schmoost1r: #ubuntu+1 | 22:01 |
| schmoost1r | ta | 22:01 |
| BluesKaj | ernest_, disconnect the VGA , it might take precedence over DVI and HDMI , different signals | 22:01 |
| tbruff13 | I am having an issue with the sound on my new sony vaio it works but it is low | 22:01 |

| tbruff13 | and then i downloaded pulseaudio volume control and I could turn it up much loader | 22:02 |
| tbruff13 | louder | 22:02 |
| ernest_ | Blueskaj, do I do this with it on? or turn it off and do like that, also wouldnt mirror show the same thing on both screens? | 22:02 |
| tbruff13 | is there anyway I can fix kubuntu to work that way or make pulseaudio control my default controller | 22:03 |
| MonkeyDust | ccc discussions ad opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 22:03 |
| MonkeyDust | and* | 22:03 |

| winterpk | escott: one final question. I do not seem to have an sda2 and sba2. How do I get those to appear? | 22:04 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, ok give me a sec to do this | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 22:04 |
| escott | winterpk, when you partition the first disk the second disk on that partition is sda2 | 22:04 |
| escott | winterpk, when you partition the first disk the second partition on that disk is sda2 | 22:05 |
| winterpk | should I automatically partition the disc? | 22:05 |
| escott | winterpk, no you need to manually partition it. you need a partition for /boot. you need any partitions you intend to use for swap, and you need any other partitions you dont want inside the raid array. finally you have the raid partition, which you join with the other raid partition to make the array | 22:06 |

| winterpk | escott: great, thanks! | 22:07 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, nothing, what happend was, after i saw the hardware info i got unsupported signal like i have been getting but it went away for a comple of seconds then came back, then i connected the vga and here i am | 22:08 |
| winterpk | escott: So I'm going to create a single partition on each drive at 99% which will be my RAID 0. The rest will be for /boot and swap. Does that seem right? | 22:09 |
| escott | winterpk, sure. but /boot and the swap need to be different partitions. | 22:10 |
| winterpk | escott: ok good to know, thanks! | 22:11 |
| BluesKaj | sorry ernest_ ..I'm out of ideas , and i have to go. | 22:12 |
| ernest_ | BluesKaj, also when i look under display it says theres a sony 72" connected but its really a 32" and i cant change any settings for it | 22:12 |
| dxtr_1 | Hellooo | 22:12 |
| dxtr_1 | :) | 22:12 |
| ernest_ | Blueskaj, ok ok, thanks anyways | 22:13 |
| dxtr_1 | Can anybody helps me | 22:13 |
| DX099 | hello all | 22:13 |
| dxtr_1 | hey DX099 | 22:13 |
| DX099 | I got a new six core computer | 22:13 |
| MonkeyDust | dxtr_1 start with a question | 22:14 |
| DX099 | will it be usefull to recompile the kernel for me so that it can take full advantage of this or is the current ubuntu kernels optimized enough ? | 22:14 |
| dxtr_1 | ok | 22:14 |
| llutz | DX099: if you have to ask this, the default kernel is fine for you :) | 22:15 |
| DX099 | llutz, if I have to ask this ? can you explain ? | 22:15 |
| dxtr_1 | well i'm struggling with PALTALK using wine , i can't get it to work . i want to use paltalk express (a web version of paltalk) it doesn't work too they logged me off everytime i try to login | 22:16 |
| escott | DX099, you should make sure you are using a linux version greater than 2.0 | 22:16 |
| DX099 | escott, I was talking about last Ubuntu 12.10 for example. | 22:16 |
| dxtr_1 | i tried paltalk in a virtual machine(xp) but paltalk doesn't allow free accounts on free machines | 22:16 |
| llutz | DX099: there are only small benefits in recompiling an own kernel. and those are mostly for special purposes. so if you don't know what special setting you might need and have to ask, you don't need to compile a kernel at all | 22:17 |
| MonkeyDust | dxtr_1 ask in #winehq | 22:17 |
| DX099 | llutz, ok | 22:17 |
| DX099 | thanks | 22:17 |
| llutz | DX099: no offense | 22:17 |
| dxtr_1 | Thnx MonkeyDust | 22:18 |
| dxtr_1 | :) | 22:18 |
| escott | DX099, uname -r will tell you your kernel version number. if it is less than version 2.0 then you won't be able to get the full benefit of your 6-core CPU | 22:18 |
| DX099 | llutz, learning is more useful than getting offended by such statements | 22:18 |
| DX099 | escott, Ubuntu 12.10 default is 3.5 series I think. | 22:18 |
| escott | DX099, then you are in good shape | 22:19 |
| sybariten | what is ubuntu-desktop? | 22:19 |
| DX099 | escott, thanks as well | 22:19 |
| elementz | Hi all. Since the last system update, I have a strange error with flash videos, there is an overlay of colored snowflakes over every video, see a screenshot here: http://snag.gy/81h4v.jpg | 22:20 |
| elementz | this happens in chrome on ubuntu 12.04 with flash version 11,5,31,137 | 22:20 |
| elementz | i couldn't find anything related on launchpad | 22:21 |
| rushy | what would cause ubuntu not to start up after bios? i did a brand new install on new hard drive and it will install then once thats done it will restart and the bios will go through everything but just hang after it see the hard drives and pci devices | 22:21 |
| sybariten | and where do i change font settings? | 22:22 |
| escott | rushy, does grub get loaded? | 22:22 |
| rushy | no | 22:22 |
| escott | rushy, in that case grub must not be installed to the devices that the bios is trying to boot | 22:22 |
| rushy | i've installed this like 10 times | 22:23 |
| rushy | both ubuntu and suse | 22:23 |
| escott | rushy, might you have installed to a gpt disk but not created the grub_bios partition | 22:23 |
| escott | rushy, might you be installing to an efi/bios system in the wrong mode (bios instead of efi) | 22:23 |
| rushy | how would i know that i'm installing it in the wrong mode? | 22:24 |
| rushy | or how would i specifiy where it installs? | 22:24 |
| escott | rushy, first off is this an efi system? you said you were able to install and boot it in the past right? | 22:25 |
| === dniMretsaM is now known as dniMretsaM_away | ||
| rushy | no i haven't been able to boot it | 22:25 |
| rushy | its a fresh install. new hard drive and all | 22:25 |
| escott | rushy, so you probably dont even know if this is efi. is it a brand new system? | 22:26 |
| rushy | no i do not know if its efi | 22:26 |
| escott | rushy, boot the livecd and check if there is a /sys/firmware/efi directory. also paste.ubuntu.com the output of "sudo parted -l" | 22:27 |
| Miebster_ | There is an application with an icon in the unity launch bar. The icon doesn't tell me what application it is, when I right click it I have no options, I can't close it. How can I found out what application is running so I can kill it? | 22:27 |
| rushy | i can't boot in live, i'm installing server side | 22:28 |
| escott | rushy, then get to a console in a linux environment | 22:28 |
| escott | rushy, presumably ctrl-alt-f1/f2 should get you to a proper console | 22:28 |
| Plagman | Hi, does anyone know what is responsible for populating the ~/.debug/.build-id symlink tree? | 22:29 |
| Plagman | I assume it's a runtime process that happens after you install -dbgsym packages | 22:29 |
| modifier | how to install wine on x64 12.10 ? sudo apt-get install wine is giving error - The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 22:29 |
| escott | !pinning | modifier "you have held broken packages" | 22:30 |

| ubottu | modifier "you have held broken packages": pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 22:30 |
| modifier | escott: what does it means ? broken packages - packages are missing or some installed packages are bad ? | 22:31 |
| remontees | Al-Kashi. | 22:31 |
| === remontees is now known as Al-Kashi | ||
| escott | modifier, it says you are holding a package. assuming that is true you did that yourself or perhaps you installed a ppa which introduced the hold | 22:32 |
| escott | modifier, try the apt-get -f install as suggested by zvacet | 22:32 |
| modifier | sudo apt-get -f install wine and sudo apt-get install -f wine both ways same error escott zvacet | 22:33 |
| SierraAR | gparted isnt detected the hard drive installed on my laptop when booting off a disk | 22:34 |
| escott | modifier, then apt-get update, check your ppa's, check that you aren't pinning or holding anything | 22:34 |

| eGetin | is it possible to route sounds from my computer to my media-pc | 22:35 |
| eGetin | both have ubuntu 12.04 | 22:35 |

| escott | eGetin, or http://askubuntu.com/questions/163757/pulseaudio-network-tutorial | 22:36 |
| zvacet | modifier: that command will not get you to the next release maybe will resolve your holding packages ;) | 22:36 |
| eGetin | escott: pulseaudio has changed since 10.10 and some packages don't exist anymore | 22:36 |

| escott | modifier, do you have any PPAs installed | 22:38 |
| modifier | should i install aptitude or simple apt-get and synaptic are good enough ? and should i install filezilla from repos or download from original site ? | 22:38 |
| modifier | escott: noo...i dont even know how to play with ppa ;( | 22:38 |

| DavEd3464 | hi | 22:40 |
| SierraAR | Or R or something like that | 22:40 |
| zvacet | modifier: I don´t know if repos have latest version but if that is no problem install from repos | 22:40 |
| escott | SierraAR, cat /proc/partitions shows what? | 22:40 |
| DavEd3464 | hey who knows where are ati radeon hd 3200 libs for ubuntu 12.10 | 22:41 |
| eGetin | escott: those actually helped :D | 22:41 |
| eGetin | thank you very much. | 22:41 |
| eGetin | I guess there was something different to those I've seen before :P | 22:42 |
| zvacet | DavEd3464: use radeon driver | 22:42 |
| SierraAR | escott, one second, will have to manually type out what it shows. the laptop I'm running this on doesnt have an internet connection atm | 22:42 |

| smokingfreek | just look for your graphic card in google | 22:44 |

| smokingfreek | the name and the number of your card | 22:45 |

| k1ll | I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTE with a new intel sdd. I read in ubuntu's wiki about TRIM. But is TRIM for older sdd's? I mean my ssd supports trim | 22:46 |
| modifier | zvacet: yea ok....srry i didn't saw ur previous reply | 22:46 |
| escott | SierraAR, so it sees one hard disk with 7 partitions | 22:46 |
| zvacet | modifier: np :) | 22:46 |
| smokingfreek | filezilla can help you with to mannage and transver files to a server | 22:46 |
| SierraAR | escott, I'm wanting to completely wipe the harddrive and create two 250GB partitions on it with gparted | 22:46 |
| smokingfreek | filezilla can help you with to mannage and transver files to a server | 22:46 |
| SierraAR | But it's not showing the drive in gparter | 22:46 |
| SierraAR | gparted* | 22:46 |
| escott | k1ll, depends on how much you trust your firmware | 22:46 |
| zvacet | smokingfreek: I know that but I never worked with it so I don´t want to give tips about things I didn´t use | 22:47 |
| modifier | zvacet: btw.....is it a good idea to compile the source from original coder rather then using repo everytime.....maybe this will provide latest build but a lil work though ? | 22:47 |
| escott | SierraAR, so sda is the correct disk but it doesnt appear in gparted? | 22:47 |
| SierraAR | yeah | 22:47 |
| k1ll | escott: so you think I should use TRIM? | 22:48 |
| escott | SierraAR, thats very strange. are you looking in the right place? you could also use the command line tool "sudo parted /dev/sda | 22:48 |
| zvacet | modifier: if you are not satisfied with version from repos you can always compile latest | 22:48 |
| modifier | zvacet: do u compile everytime ? | 22:49 |
| SierraAR | I'm doing what I did the last time I reformatted a drive on gparted - Loading up the program, clicking 'refresh drives'. But everythings grayed out and it doesnt seem to see any drives at all | 22:49 |
| zvacet | modifier:no :) | 22:49 |
| escott | k1ll, its not a question we can really answer. check online for how well your particular SSD handles TRIM. some handle it but slowly and badly, some firmware i wouldn't touch with a 10ft flaming spike | 22:49 |
| sybariten | I'm on "software sources" and "additional drivers" tab. I can see that an open source one is selected for my AMD card, and i can choose from two "proprietary" drivcers. Does that sometimes improve performance? | 22:49 |
| escott | SierraAR, maybe you need to "gksudo gparted"? | 22:49 |
| zvacet | modifier: there is no need to compile every time when you want to install something | 22:50 |

| modifier | ok dist-upgrade zvacet | 22:51 |
| modifier | i mean i am doing it now | 22:51 |
| zvacet | modifier: ok | 22:51 |
| SierraAR | escott, I'll give that a shot, though I'm worried I'll completely ruin the hdd | 22:52 |
| k1ll | escott, ok for example my SSD handles TRIM good, should I use TRIM on Ubunto, too? | 22:52 |
| escott | k1ll, yes | 22:53 |

| SierraAR | escott, neither of those seem to be on the boot disk | 22:55 |
| escott | SierraAR, you said you were using the server disk. i dont know what is on the server disk | 22:55 |
| modifier | zvacet: ok....how to backup these upgrades and all installed apps so as to restore them afterwards or install them freshly or on other system ? i know aptoncd for apt | 22:55 |
| escott | !clone | modifier | 22:55 |
| ubottu | modifier: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 22:55 |

| SierraAR | that exact name | 23:03 |
| SierraAR | I used it earlier on another machine to reformat a couple USB drives for use with reinstalling windows on a partition on this drive | 23:03 |
| escott | SierraAR, presumably whatever backend daemon that app talks to to do work. maybe udisksd but that doesn't seem to be its role | 23:03 |
| escott | SierraAR, also disk utility is gnome-disks and will show you the smart status | 23:04 |

| SierraAR | 'SMART status: Not Supported' | 23:05 |
| SierraAR | I can see all of the partitions from the old installs on the drive in disk utility, too | 23:05 |

| === stueng is now known as ixio | ||
| Gyro54 | Can you just move the HOME directory to a different computer? Is it that simple? | 23:20 |
| MonkeyDust | Gyro54 make sure you create a separate /home partition, it's easier when you want to reinstall ubuntu | 23:20 |
| SierraAR | system rebooted | 23:20 |

| ernest_ | Could someone please help me | 23:24 |

| SonikkuAmerica | god: Try [ sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall banshee ] and try to re-open it after you run that command. | 23:25 |

| SonikkuAmerica | god: Neither did I. But sometimes a fresh reinstall helps. | 23:27 |
| ernest_ | On my HDMI screen I cant see the full screen, I see mostly the middle of the desktop and half the icon bar on the left, and nothing of the top bar. Ive tried every resolution and nothing helps. | 23:27 |

| PeterGriffin | ernest_ what's the video card | 23:29 |
| daftykins | god: i've never seen anyone suffering the problems you describe | 23:29 |
| god | yes it is called hell-a-day | 23:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: e.e What kind of video card are you using, and do you have the proper drivers for it? | 23:29 |
| daftykins | ernest_: that's a situation called overscan, is it a TV or monitor? | 23:30 |
| god | no i am using a computer that a friend gave me | 23:30 |

| elkingrey | My sister has ubuntu on her computer, she's a total noob. She's been running Ubuntu for a year or so. Today, she calls me up and tells me that things have crashed on her and she can't get her computer to work. She wants me to tell you all what her computer says, and maybe get some help. So, here goes: GNU GRUB version 1.99-12ubuntu5.1 minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completion. anywhere else | 23:31 |
| elkingrey | TAB lists possible device for file completion. grub > | 23:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elkingrey: Does that appear immediately after the computer boots up? | 23:32 |
| daftykins | ernest_: ok, well i'm glad you've tried. you'll need to install some ATI drivers and then use their app to fix the overscan i'd expect. have a google for your card, the ubuntu version you're running and 'overscan' as the keyword | 23:32 |
| atlef | !educational > atlef | 23:32 |
| elkingrey | SinikkuAmerica: Yes. It's immediate. | 23:32 |
| atlef | !edubuntu > atlef | 23:33 |
| ubottu | atlef, please see my private message | 23:33 |
| elkingrey | SonikkuAmerica: ^^ | 23:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elkingrey: I would head over to the #grub channel for that kind of question. | 23:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | elkingrey: Type [ /join #grub ] in the window | 23:34 |
| ernest_ | daftykins, ive done searched the ati and ubuntu verson all day, i cant find any drivers for nothing, and additional drivers on 12.10 doesnt get me the drivers needed | 23:34 |
| daftykins | ernest_: i see, so it doesn't offer you fglrx? | 23:34 |
| eGetin | hrmph, flash doesn't seem to like my sound setup | 23:35 |
| ernest_ | well the reason i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.10 is because i deleted that file and had no video driver. Now that i upgraded i should have gotten that driver back? right? | 23:36 |
| hipitihop | bobolopolis, thanks, so is that the recommended route ? | 23:36 |
| adamk | ernest_: That GPU is only supported by the legacy fglrx driver now. I do not know if that will work on the Xorg and kernel version in Ubuntu 12.10, but if it's not showing up as an option, my guess is 'no'. | 23:36 |
| bobolopolis | hipitihop: its the best way to get the latest version. i doubt the normal ubuntu repos will upgrade to the 4.2.x series | 23:37 |
| === truexfan404 is now known as truexfan81 | ||
| adamk | ernest_: If that's the case, you're only real option for 12.10 is to stick with the open source drivers. | 23:37 |
| ernest_ | adamk so either that or go back down to 11.10? | 23:37 |
| adamk | Well, I believe the fglrx driver packages for 12.04 will support your GPU. | 23:38 |
| adamk | Or you could try installing the legacy driver manually. I have no idea if that will work. | 23:38 |
| ernest_ | and to do that i need to uninstall my current one right? | 23:39 |
| adamk | Which one do you have installed? | 23:39 |
| ernest_ | how do i look that up? | 23:39 |
| adamk | Well presumably you would know if you installed a 3rd party driver... | 23:39 |
| ernest_ | i tried to do. ended up screwing it all up | 23:40 |
| adamk | Well fglrx comes with an uninstaller... Somewhere under /usr/share/ati/ or maybe /usr/share/amd/ | 23:41 |
| PeterGriffin | ernest_: I see that in the repository there is fglrx. Why don't you try sudo apt-get install fglrx | 23:41 |
| daftykins | ernest_: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 23:41 |
| god | i have decided that from no on, when something quits working, i will remove it. | 23:41 |
| god | no reinstall, just remove it gone bye bye | 23:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh--kay... | 23:42 |
| daftykins | god: if you got given that computer, do you know that it's even stable? ;) | 23:42 |
| escott | ernest_, generally apt is not going to reinstall things you have removed or reset config files you delete. it will try to respect the changes you make to the default config | 23:42 |
| god | all i know is it is an e machine | 23:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: Oh fun. | 23:43 |
| god | i have had it for awhile and just now started with all of these problems | 23:43 |
| kslater | so how does one turn off the Unity wizzy effect of sending my window fullscreen when I pause in the middle of a monitor on a multi-monitor setup? | 23:43 |
| ernest_ | i feel im way over my head on this one | 23:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: But my disgust for Acer in general aside, I would probably run [ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ] to make sure everything is in there. | 23:44 |
| adamk | ernest_: What are you hoping to get out of the proprietary driver that you aren't getting from the open source one? | 23:44 |
| daftykins | ernest_: if you can pastebin the above log file, we can work out what driver is in use right now. probably 'radeon' | 23:44 |
| god | i just updated the other day | 23:44 |
| daftykins | adamk: he needs to be able to fix overscan. if you know how to do that with non-proprietary, go for it | 23:44 |
| god | that is when all the problems started | 23:44 |
| escott | daftykins, manually set the scan parameters of the modeline | 23:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: to what? from what? | 23:44 |
| ernest_ | im trying to get my screen on my tv to look ok, its overscaned i think someone said | 23:45 |
| god | i updated from synaptic pag mgr | 23:45 |
| emx | is there a release date for skype v6? | 23:45 |
| ernest_ | and the drivers that i had in 11.10 came from additional drivers but that doesnt work in 12.10 | 23:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | From 10.04 to 12.04 or what? | 23:45 |
| daftykins | emx: phone Microsoft and ask | 23:45 |
| god | 12.04 | 23:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: See my question aboxe >>> | 23:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *above | 23:46 |
| daftykins | escott: are you sure that has anything to do with overscan? | 23:46 |
| god | i have had 12.04 for awhile now | 23:46 |
| god | i stick with it | 23:46 |
| emx | daftykins, you destroyed my hope | 23:46 |
| daftykins | emx: cool | 23:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: Why use Synaptic in 12.04 (unless you're running Lubuntu in which case you should upgrade to 12.10) | 23:46 |
| escott | ernest_, modeline issues usually mean result in either black bars on the sides, or part of the image cut off. what does "look bad" mean | 23:46 |
| === TheRainbowDusk is now known as TheRainbowDawn | ||
| escott | daftykins, thats a scanline/modeline thing. the whole modeline business is weird to have to deal with in the digital age, but its still there when the edid information is wrong | 23:47 |
| god | i am new to this and i have no idea how to upgrade | 23:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | General question: is 14.04 the next slated LTS release: | 23:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: Which desktop environment do you have? (If you don't know describe it) | 23:48 |
| daftykins | escott: i'm getting a feeling of crossed-wires here, because he's got a perfect image into a TV over HDMI, it's just overscanning due to the nature of graphics cards and TVs | 23:48 |
| ernest_ | escott, i can only see half the icon bar on the left, i cant see the top bar either. | 23:48 |
| god | it is the one with the side bar is all i know | 23:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: OK, that's called Unity (which is regular Ubuntu) | 23:49 |
| ernest_ | daftykins, http://pastebin.com/ieDextTT | 23:49 |
| god | ok | 23:49 |
| god | i do not like the side bar | 23:49 |
| escott | ernest_, so you can play around with modelines and xrandr http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 23:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: You have a few options in regard to that... | 23:50 |
| escott | ernest_, its also possible that the TV itself is doing some zooming so check the settings in its menu | 23:50 |
| god | please help me!!! | 23:50 |
| shojo | change your nick first | 23:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ernest_: Are you sure you can't shrink the screen size from your TV menu? | 23:50 |
| daftykins | ernest_: yep 'radeon' driver is in use. you might as well try fglrx | 23:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: What did you want? | 23:50 |
| shojo | o,h hi daftykins | 23:50 |
| god | i would like an o.s. that does not require anti virus and plays flash and movies well | 23:51 |
| god | that is about all i do on here | 23:51 |
| ernest_ | my tv has all zooms off | 23:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | god: Let me push this to PM | 23:51 |
| ernest_ | daftykins, do i go to the software center and install it from there? | 23:51 |
| god | ok | 23:51 |
| escott | ernest_, with an analog signal there had to be this dead space so if you were displaying 1080 you actually transmitted something a bit bigger like 1120 or so, and then the dead pixels didn't get shown. some TVs like to think that anything being sent in is coming from an analog source and needs to be clipped which is annoying | 23:52 |
| daftykins | ernest_: yeah you can do, see if escott agrees it's a good idea though | 23:52 |
| ernest_ | well i cant find fglrx-legacy in ubuntu software center | 23:53 |
| === wbf is now known as initramfshelpwit | ||
| daftykins | escott: i figured the fglrx driver would come with a utility to just change the overscan, a-lá nvidia-settings with nvidia cards. apparently his radeon 4250 might have been dropped from proprietary though? | 23:53 |
| kslater | does anyone know where I can turn off this nasty Unity 'help'? (When dragging a window across the screen you'll get a ghosted full-screen outline (orange in my theme), if you let go of the window it goes full screen. I hates it.) | 23:53 |

| android | hi all | 23:54 |
| ernest_ | escott daftykins, im dling ati binary x,org driver | 23:54 |
| daftykins | ernest_: what about just 'fglrx' ? "apt-cache search fglrx" in a terminal | 23:55 |
| escott | ernest_, this has a lot of stuff about overscan. but it should certainly be fixable with open source driver and some xrandr magic. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=148662 its possible that shifting to another driver will result in a different interpretation of the signal from the tv eliminated the overscan | 23:55 |
