[00:00] <bestdnd> thanks
[00:00] <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 :)
[00:01] <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.
[00:02] <sybariten> aha ok
[00:02] <PatrickDickey> judahitewarrior7: You might find more help in #libreoffice or #ubuntu-il
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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.
[00:05] <dr_willis> filesystem is  fairly broad term :) depending on how its used
[00:07] <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.
[00:08] <BillyZane|2> hey dr_willis :)
[00:08] <demonio1> ok dr_willis but can u do an example of filesystem?
[00:08] <demonio1> pls
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <BillyZane|2> you can't view ext3 and ext4 on windows, but you can view NTFS on linux

[00:12] <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?
[00:13] <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] <Nimrod2012> How the hell do I disable secure boot?
[00:13] <ikonia> Nimrod2012: it's a bios feature
[00:14] <Nimrod2012> It doesn't seem like it can be changed in my bios
[00:14] <sylphie> anoos \ yes. in a console terminal type "cd ~" and "ls -l ,,/yourusername"
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <ikonia> JonEdney: it really shouldn't matter
[00:16] <JonEdney> Alright, we'll let's give 'er a whirl!
[00:17] <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
[00:18] <Theodore> hello
[00:18] <dr_willis> a Live cd is Read only anyway :) so no need for it to be in ram..
[00:18] <Theodore> when does ubuntu os for androids become released for download/install?
[00:18] <dr_willis> Theodore:  we have no idea.
[00:18] <Theodore> ok thank you dr_willis
[00:19] <BillyZane|2> omg, i just moved a file on linux using commands
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> i shouldn't chit chat in here
[00:20] <Nimrod2012> Lol
[00:20] <daftykins> no, you'll get attacked
[00:20] <dr_willis> BillyZane|2:   Bash Basics 101. :)
[00:20] <meebey_> vith: :-D
[00:20] <sylphie> you've joined the underground
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> :D
[00:20] <BillyZane|2> i feel so l33t
[00:20] <Nimrod2012> :/
[00:21] <Alien__> Actually... I need tinfoil hat security
[00:21] <Nimrod2012> I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu
[00:21] <Alien__> cant explain why >:D
[00:21] <Alien__> evil computer guy
[00:22] <sylphie> Alien__ \ either you write what's in memory back to disk, and take all the same risk, or you lose everything you've done when you shut down
[00:22] <dr_willis> evil computer guy using freenodes web irc chat.... ;)
[00:23] <sylphie> Alien__ \ if you want really paranoid secure, you could try openbsd
[00:23] <BillyZane|2> i think he left...
[00:24] <sylphie> oh
[00:24] <sylphie> why do people keep doing that in mid conversation?
[00:26] <daftykins> sylphie: you must have that effect
[00:26] <swarm> not that this is relative to ubuntu but can people hop on my vent server? I need to test it. 71.165.156.181 port 3785 no pass
[00:26] <sylphie> what is a vent server?
[00:27] <swarm> ventrilo
[00:27] <sylphie> oh
[00:27] <swarm> voice client server
[00:27] <BillyZane|2> ohhh, ventrilo is old school
[00:28] <TheRoot> http://pastebin.com/vHkssVAJ   Official HRB War Report 13-13-13 2:45pm PST (-8GMT)
[00:29] <BillyZane|2> what is the name of the linux font?
[00:30] <sylphie> which one?
[00:30] <k1l> BillyZane|2: "the linux font"? ubuntu go an own font called ubuntu
[00:30] <BillyZane|2> the terminal font
[00:30] <BillyZane|2> the one you would see on a BSD
[00:30] <sylphie> iso859, I think
[00:31] <k1l> BillyZane|2: that is a ubuntu support, not a bsd support
[00:31] <BillyZane|2> oh
[00:31] <BillyZane|2> yeah, i was just wanting to change the font on KViRC
[00:31] <k1l> BillyZane|2: for chitty chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:32] <BillyZane|2> k
[00:34] <sylphie> I think Alien__ might have had the right intentions, a concole window just opened on my screen, excuted a command, and close the window before I had a chance to stop it
[00:35] <sylphie> danger Will Robinson
[00:37] <kslater> haha! I'm back. Full Frankenstein this time as my son calls my head scar
[00:38] <daftykins> kslater: what happened?
[00:38] <daftykins> no wait, the walls have ears - you can't tell me here D:
[00:38] <kslater> daftykins: I had a 2nd craineotomoty
[00:39] <daftykins> kslater: for what reason?
[00:39] <kslater> hopefully near the end of this battle with brain cancer.
[00:41] <Mensch-Maschine> Hi there.
[00:41] <daftykins> kslater: damn, gl with that sir
[00:41] <JonEdney> Well, I have a GRUB issue I still can't identify.  Took a look at some documentation, even changed the boot flag to different partitions.
[00:41] <kslater> daftykins: don't cry for me. God will keep me here as long as He pleases. When he's ready to pull the plug, I have to be ready too.
[00:41] <febul> Hey everyone. I have Ubuntu + Windows 7 installed and am using GRUB2 to boot into each. When I try to boot into Windows 7, I get "Disk read error..." all of a sudden. How can I fix it?
[00:42] <JonEdney> I still can only boot to 12.10 after installing it next to Windows 7.  Selecting Windows, just refreshes the GRUB screen.
[00:42] <Mensch-Maschine> 10.04.4, no X. My caps lock led doesn’t lit up, does any of you know where/how I should configure this?
[00:44] <islan> hey, is anybody familiar with installing drivers for laptop wireless?
[00:45] <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
[00:46] <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
[00:47] <daftykins> uh-huh
[00:47] <xubuntu> buenas
[00:48] <islan> now running dpkg -i..
[00:48] <islan> okay, on THIS package I got an "Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.5.0-21-generic (i686)
[00:49] <Guest60787> buenas
[00:49] <islan> now opening the make.log
[00:49] <islan> here is the error:
[00:49] <islan> /var/lib/dkms/wireless-bcm43142-oneiric-dkms/6.20.55.19~bdcom0602.0400.1000.0400/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:50:24: fatal error: asm/system.h: No such file or directory
[00:49] <islan> compilation terminated.
[00:50] <dr_willis> islan:  you need the various kernel headers and stuff installed i imagine
[00:51] <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.
[00:52] <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?
[00:53] <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] <islan> Dell can't even seem to give me a .INF driver to try ndiswrapper
[00:54] <TradeFortress> Ok *no* logs show Jan 12th
[00:54] <TradeFortress> auth.log, access.log, error.log all start at Jan 13th.
[00:54] <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] <daftykins> islan: yep
[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <islan> but it looks really big to be a driver
[00:57] <daftykins> long link is looooooong
[00:57] <iLogical> When I click on Account Settings on empathy to add an account it shows this window in the middle, how can I add an account? I even registered on ubuntu one, but I don't see where to do it there http://i.imgur.com/0q1vC.png
[00:57] <daftykins> 308MB OMFG.
[00:57] <TradeFortress> daftykins: OK, I see Jan 12th actually but I have "Received disconnect from" an IP address in China
[00:57] <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
[00:58] <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.
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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] <TradeFortress> Alright. Is it possible for me to find if they successfully connected or not?
[01:00] <JonEdney> <-- works for a web hosting company, looks at this stuff all day
[01:01] <iLogical> IdleOne, I mean to add a facebook account
[01:01] <iLogical> I don't even know if it has anything to do with ubuntu one?
[01:01] <harris> h
[01:01] <iLogical> !!*
[01:02] <JonEdney> TradeFortress, you may want to check out #ubuntu-server for more server-direct support.  They may help lead you in the right direction.
[01:02] <harris> when i double click a .docx file how do i make it open in my ms office 2007 word running in wine
[01:02] <TradeFortress> alright, thanks JonEdney
[01:02] <BONG_IT> how can i update my ubuntu
[01:03] <JonEdney> Sure thing, good luck.
[01:03] <islan> BONG_IT,  sudo apt-get update
[01:03] <harris> BONG_IT,  open terminal
[01:03] <Guest88142> I have 8gig of ram do I really need 8gig of swap?
[01:03] <harris> BONG_IT,  sudo apt-get update
[01:03] <usr13> BONG_IT: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:03] <islan> Guest88142, that seems like awful lotta swap to me
[01:04] <harris> when i double click a .docx file how do i make it open in my ms office 2007 word running in wine
[01:04] <islan> Guest88142,  I've only seen it recommended 64MB to 128MB
[01:04] <usr13> harris: Why not use libreoffice?
[01:04] <harris> i need ms office
[01:04] <harris> i have my reasens
[01:05] <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.
[01:06] <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.
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <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?
[01:09] <Guest88142> true
[01:09] <usr13> Guest88142: As JonEdney points out,  you can do without it, but it's not the recommended method.
[01:09] <JonEdney> I just live life on the edge.
[01:09] <daftykins> islan: it keeps speeding up and slowing down :( i have half of it so far
[01:09] <daftykins> islan: if you can wait i'm happy to.
[01:09] <usr13> JonEdney: It's a computer, not life  ;)
[01:10] <JonEdney> I work infront of it for 10 hours a day, I know no difference :)
[01:10] <wesam_> Hey. So I came here yesterday and someone told me to get CR OS. How should I burn this to a DVD?
[01:10] <Guest88142> na I'll leave at 8gig thanks guys goodday to ya
[01:11] <buntuBen> grub question: why after removing a failed hard drive in which the OS does not reside do I come to a grub rescue prompt? I just booted with a live cd and reinstalled grub, but am just curious why grub requires an unused drive to be present.
[01:11] <TradeFortress> ok, could anyone just tell me how I can find out if someone logged in successfully to my server or not.
[01:11] <ikonia> buntuBen: depends where you grub files are stored
[01:12] <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] <ikonia> islan: doubtful
[01:12] <TradeFortress> JonEdney: I don't see anything from that IP that says connected
[01:12] <ikonia> islan: certainly nothing to the nakes eye
[01:12] <BillyZane|2> hi. I have a creative sound blaster Z, are there linux drivers available for this card?
[01:12] <TradeFortress> Does that mean they haven't successfully connected?
[01:12] <buntuBen> ikonia: as in sata order on the mb?
[01:13] <wesam_> Someone?
[01:13] <ikonia> TradeFortress: do you have any concerns that you have been compromised
[01:13] <ikonia> buntuBen: mb ?
[01:13] <islan> ikonia, it seems like a fix to my problem might work if I switch to 64-bit, which would be nice
[01:13] <buntuBen> ikonia: motherboard
[01:13] <dagaz> hi.. I guess Xchat put me into the wrong place.....is this also support for puppy precise?
[01:13] <wesam_> How do I burn an OS to a DVD so it's bootable?
[01:13] <ikonia> buntuBen: as in the OS reference/identifier on the hard disk
[01:13] <ikonia> dagaz: no, it's not
[01:14] <buntuBen> wesam_: are you using ubuntu?
[01:14] <julian-delphiki> !derivatives | dagaz
[01:14] <buntuBen> ikonia: thanks, just scared me at first after booting and seeing grub rescue>
[01:14] <wesam_> I'm using Jolicloud, stupidly. Which is made from Ubuntu.
[01:14] <ikonia> and also not supported here
[01:14] <dagaz> k . thanks
[01:15] <julian-delphiki> TradeFortress: likely in /var/log/auth.log
[01:15] <ikonia> buntuBen: I wouldn't be massivly concerned, more so as you appear to have fixed it
[01:15] <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] <TradeFortress> ikonia: yes, I run a wallet for a digital currency called bitcoins
[01:15] <wesam_> buntuBen: Will try, thanks.
[01:15] <TradeFortress> some attacker took $2.5 worth but still compromised it.
[01:15] <ikonia> TradeFortress: then re-install your OS with new passwords
[01:16] <ikonia> TradeFortress: make sure you don't put back any of the files from the old server
[01:16] <bunjee> K3b help?
[01:17] <wesam_> buntuBen: It's awn, but I tried this before and when booting, it just froze at "Booting from onboard CD: _"
[01:17] <bunjee> can I convert TG file to ISO?
[01:17] <ikonia> that's not a question
[01:17] <julian-delphiki> bunjee... TG = tuxguitar, right?
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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.
[01:21] <winterpk> daft: I have no OS yet, and bios doesn't see them at all
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <daftykins> winterpk: i'd ignore that and see what liveCDs see
[01:23] <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
[01:24] <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.
[01:25] <harris> what are the menues in the top left corner called
[01:25] <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?
[01:26] <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?
[01:27] <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?
[01:28] <daftykins> islan: hrmm other decision, is 32 or 64-bit
[01:29] <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] <daftykins> islan: you don't know any free file hosting sites do you? :D
[01:30] <islan> daftykins, um, dropbox?
[01:30] <wesam_> h
[01:30] <getschomp545> i switched to VT, and its asking me for a login…used the login which i use to login to ubuntu, but keep receiving "login incorrect"
[01:30] <wesam_> Okay, working. buntuBen: It's still going on, man.
[01:31] <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] <SaschaP> or my 11.10
[01:31] <julian-delphiki> SaschaP: and you're sure you're up to date on updates?
[01:31] <SaschaP> yes, julian
[01:32] <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.
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <Xorifelse> But thanks, iĺl try it in #grub
[01:36] <SaschaP> i already tried to reinstall phonon, but it didn't make anything
[01:37] <SaschaP> and sorry, but "apt-get -install --reinstall gstreamer" would only bring out the error, that there is no "gstreamer" package
[01:38] <julian-delphiki> not -install, just install, and sorry.
[01:38] <julian-delphiki> !find gstreamer
[01:38] <SaschaP> yeah, but "gstreamer" is not found ;)
[01:39] <SaschaP> and reinstalling everything would be quite crazy, especially that it make a mistake ( gstreamer0.10-fluendo-plugins-mp3-partner : Kollidiert mit: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[01:39] <SaschaP> )
[01:40] <moes> Using startup disk creator in Ubuntu-12.04.1 on a 16 gb flash drive...fat 32 will only allow 4.3 gb persistence file....How can I increas to 8 gb??
[01:45] <wesam> Guys, I'm pissed.
[01:46] <Guest16777> The DVD gets 100% burned, ejects, and says everything is okay. But when I boot the DVD, it does nothing. It just sits at the "booting from CD" screen.
[01:46] <daftykins> Guest16777: nice.
[01:46] <daftykins> oh pissed that way
[01:47] <wesam098> Haha yeah. That way.
[01:47] <wesam098> I have no idea what to do I alreadu used three DVDs.
[01:47] <wesam098> I'm trying to make a CR OS DVD.
[01:48] <harris> ow can i open microsoft word 2007 as my default program in linux
[01:48] <julian-delphiki> harris... you can't without a lot of trickery
[01:48] <wesam098> You can't use Word in Linux.
[01:48] <harris> using play on linux
[01:49] <daftykins> wesam098: your downloaded image could be busted. you tried md5'ing it?
[01:49] <wesam098> daftykins: Whatting it?
[01:50] <somsip> !md5 | wesam098
[01:50] <daftykins> somsip: ty sir
[01:50] <wesam098> somsip: Wait what is this.
[01:51] <wesam098> ubottu: I'm using a CR OS Iso. Not trying to install Ubuntu. I'm asking here because I'm using Ubuntu right now.
[01:51] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, it's a way of verifying file integrity.
[01:51] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: How?
[01:52] <julian-delphiki> jesus, wesam098, did you read the link?
[01:52] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: What do you think I am, some kind of animal? Of course not.
[01:53] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, where did you download cros from
[01:53] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: The official website.
[01:54] <wesam098> Okay, what does this output mean?
[01:54] <wesam098> Cr_OS_Linux.i686-2.4.1290
[01:54] <wesam098> oops.
[01:55] <cub> i have a q
[01:55] <cub> if i install 12.04... and i dont like it, can i revert back to 10.04?
[01:56] <daftykins> cub: via upgrade? no
[01:56] <cub> i just want to keep my current theme
[01:56] <cub> i dont like all that fancy stuff with the unity desktop
[01:57] <cub> right now i have it setup looking like old windows 95 or kde back in the day ...lol
[01:57] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: md5sum: Cr_OS_Linux.i686-2.4.1290.iso: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found
[01:59] <k1l_> !notunity | cub
[01:59] <julian-delphiki> wesam098, you want to md5sum the iso
[02:00] <cub> what do you mean by "investigate gnome tweak tool"?
[02:00] <bfri> can anyone walk me through a fileshare set up
[02:00] <cub> where would i find this? in applications or?
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098 and compare against the md5
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098 http://images.4channel.org/f/src/katawa_crash_beta_8-36.swf
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: oops wrong text
[02:00] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: 39251925cfee3843924b1585024afc76
[02:00] <k1l_> cub: its for gnome-shell
[02:00] <bfri> I want to turn up encryption
[02:01] <cub> ok
[02:01] <cub> one more question
[02:01] <cub> do i really need to upgrade to 12.04?
[02:01] <julian-delphiki> bfri: what do you mean
[02:01] <skp1> cub: yes or you will die
[02:01] <cub> lol come on
[02:02] <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_
[02:03] <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?
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <cub> i'm running this off of an old HP Compaq, 15gb harddrive and like idk 1 gb of ram
 They're both the same.
[02:06] <k1l_> cub: than you should look out for those i mentioned
[02:06] <daftykins> cub: stay where you are
[02:06] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Also, they're no such file or directory for /dev/cdrom apparently.
[02:07] <k1l_> daftykins: that is no option in a EOL end of april
[02:07] <daftykins> k1l_: sure, depends if the user cares or not though
[02:08] <k1l_> daftykins: well, that is the users decision but not the ubuntu recommended way. and while we are here we recommend that way :)
[02:08] <daftykins> k1l_: roger that, enjoy thy rather tall horse
[02:08] <k1l_> daftykins: m(
[02:08] <daftykins> :D
[02:09] <daftykins> i meant that at your smugness, carry on
[02:09] <cub> heh
[02:09] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: ok, then your file is fine
[02:09] <k1l_> if you come and support alle the users who get in trouble because you told them so, im fine with that. but i dont think that is gonna happen. so i would like to stick to the common way in this channel
[02:11] <Pbwizkid> Hello all!
[02:11] <daftykins> k1l_: you're taking this way too seriously.
[02:11] <alcaprawn> who's using conky then?
[02:11] <plaguedoctor> Hello, I have an hdmi cable hooked up to the TV, but there is no audio, how to get the audio working for the TV?
[02:12] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: you need to change the device that sound is being output over
[02:12] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, How do I do that?
[02:13] <daftykins> which ubuntu are you on?
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, I used alsamixer and Mixer, no dice
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> 12.10
[02:13] <sybariten> hm
[02:13] <compile> Hello all.
[02:13] <compile> I'm trying to install 12.10 using wubi
[02:13] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: hrmm. try searching for 'sound' with the dash
[02:13] <sybariten> i just set up a new ubuntu computer, a laptop. I already have some laptops in the LAN, and i have a server too, with ssh(d)
[02:13] <compile> and from what i see its been on "Copying installation logs..." for about 5 mins now.
[02:13] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, What do you mean?
[02:13] <compile> does this process take a while?
[02:14] <sybariten> i can always connect to that server, but now when doing "ssh 192.168.1.67:38" from the new ubuntu laptop, i get "name or service not known"
[02:14] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: nm, click on the sound icon top right, then settings
[02:15] <sybariten> I can ping that machine though, with the same IP... any ideas?
[02:15] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, I already did that
[02:15] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: and you set output to the HDMI device?
[02:15] <plaguedoctor> daftykins, Yes
[02:15] <sybariten> uh , what i meant with "i can always..." was "normally i have no problems whatsoever to connect to that machine, from my other laptops"
[02:15] <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?
[02:16] <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] <daftykins> plaguedoctor: ok i give up
[02:17] <plaguedoctor> Anyone here know how to enable audio via HDMI cable?
[02:17] <plaguedoctor> for ubuntu 12.10
[02:18] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Then whata do..
[02:19] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: i have no idea.
[02:20] <wesam098> julian-delphiki: Well. Do you know why my mouse keeps disconnecting randomly when I use Ubuntu, then? Maybe I can just keep jolicloud.
[02:20] <munderwo-work> Kraln: any idea how to get the status of a dell raid controller on linux?
[02:20] <julian-delphiki> wesam098: i have no deai
[02:20] <julian-delphiki> idea*
[02:20] <SolarisBoy> Kraln-: look into OMSA
[02:21] <wesam098> Actually, joli hasthis html5 back, which makes up the whole OS. It only stops when that's open.
[02:21] <SolarisBoy> better known as Open Manage
[02:21] <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
[02:22] <SolarisBoy> OMSA for dell controllers generally
[02:22] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: cheers! i'll have a look at that
[02:22] <sybariten> OK hmmm so i can connect to another, external SSH server
[02:22] <sybariten> but not my own, inside my LAN
[02:22] <sybariten> could there be anything with my server running a too old ubuintu version, that my newly instgalled laptop won't like?
[02:23] <SolarisBoy> munderwo-work: sure
[02:23] <sybariten> Hm... there wasnt
[02:23] <julian-delphiki> sybariten: unlikely.
[02:24] <julian-delphiki> do an ssh -vvvvv when you're connecting
[02:24]  * sybariten doesnt know how to define ports in ssh calls....   well, now he does
[02:24] <|Anthony|> Flash is constantly crashing. What can we do about this, considering that adobe has dropped linux support?

[02:36] <julian-delphiki> tion_: it is likely you're using the wrong display driver.
[02:37] <tion_> hello?
[02:38] <Soloco> hello
[02:38] <julian-delphiki> tion_: i said, you're likely using the wrong display driver.
[02:38] <tion_> help?
[02:38] <bigbadben> I have a hard drive I just took apart and I am trying to write data to it so I can see what it looks like when I write to it. It is connected via usb device is there anyway I can tell the usb drive to write data to it
[02:38] <tion_> no the driver is the right one
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben you could use DD
[02:39] <bigbadben> whats that
[02:39] <Pbwizkid> can you not mount it and just drag and drop files to it
[02:39] <tion_> i need a driver for the screen?
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> !dd
[02:39] <bigbadben> I can not mount it. I can not see it
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: it doesn't show up at all on your system?
[02:39] <Ben64> tion_: what video card
[02:39] <tion_> why xrandr is such a piece of crap?
[02:39] <julian-delphiki> it's probably broken then
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> tion_: what video card
[02:40] <tion_> this isnt about the crad its about the screen
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> tion_: they're related.
[02:40] <Ben64> they're literally connected
[02:40] <julian-delphiki> ^
[02:40] <tion_> any card can do more that vga
[02:40] <|Anthony|> i use dual monitors and do NOT touch randr
[02:41] <tion_> are we in the 80s?
[02:41] <bigbadben> "JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge " this shows up when I lsusb so It is connected
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> tion_: jesus christ, tell us what card.
[02:41] <Ben64> go away if you aren't going to cooperate
[02:41] <tion_> nvidia driver 173 recomended
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> and you installed the nvidia driver?
[02:41] <|Anthony|> is this a troll
[02:41] <tion_> not yet
[02:41] <julian-delphiki> well then install it
[02:41] <tion_> im using the opendriver
[02:41] <Ben64> tion_: well, which card do you have
[02:42] <tion_> nvidia
[02:42] <Ben64> thats a brand
[02:42] <Ben64> which card do you have
[02:42] <squid12> Does anybody here knows how to choose or prefer a different drivers in Ubuntu?
[02:43] <Ben64> squid12: you can blacklist certain drivers
[02:43] <tion_> i dont know what brand it is might be an asus
[02:43] <Priest_Pio> Hello :)
[02:43] <julian-delphiki> tion_: we need a model
[02:43] <squid12> Hi Ben64....any specific places? like etc... proc?
[02:44] <julian-delphiki> squid12 /etc/modprobe.d/
[02:44] <TheLordOfTime> tion_, can you pastebin the output of lspci?
[02:44] <Ben64> squid12: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[02:44] <tion_> the card works fine with 1600x1200
[02:44] <Tecan> in nemo my scripts arnt working
[02:44] <squid12> Thanks Ben64...I will check it out
[02:44] <Ben64> squid12: might be blacklist.conf in there
[02:45] <tion_> one would think xrandr guys would at least support the most used res like vga avga xvga etc etc
[02:45] <squid12> Ben64...yup...I see it. I will now take a look at the man pages
[02:45] <squid12> Ben64....Thank you
[02:45] <Ben64> tion_: you aren't listening, its not about xrandr or the screen or anything
[02:45] <Ben64> tion_: what does this say - "lspci | grep -i vga"
[02:45] <alcaprawn> Ben64: whats he having problems with i cba to scroll up ^.^
[02:45] <tion_> with out ""?
[02:45] <julian-delphiki> tion_: you're really close to people being done helping you.
[02:46] <Ben64> tion_: yes
[02:46] <TheLordOfTime> tion_, yes, without the quotes
[02:46] <tion_>  NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[02:46] <Ben64> alcaprawn: resolution stuck at 640x480
[02:46] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: SO I have a PERC H310 Raid array. and i've installed OMSA tools but it doesnt seem to be able to connect.
[02:47] <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
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <moes> Using startup disk creator in Ubuntu-12.04.1 on a 16 gb flash drive...fat 32 will only allow 4.3 gb persistence file....How can I increase to 8 gb??
[02:49] <tion_> ive instaled them on 9.10 and it didnt worked out the screen res
[02:49] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[02:49] <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
[02:50] <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_> how do you know you are using 64B distro
[02:51] <SolarisBoy> along with starting the daemons
[02:51] <munderwo-work> RIghto//
[02:51] <Priest_Pio> Anyone having the same problem here? the grub apears the blank screen and don`t lets chose the operating system?
[02:51] <Ben64> tion_: uname -m
[02:51] <bigbadben> I know it see's the drive I just want to write to it, if I know its bus and device number is there a command to write to it?
[02:52] <tion_> i686
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: then you are on 32 bit
[02:52] <Ben64> then you're running 32 bit OS
[02:52] <tion_> OMG
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: does it show up in dmesg
[02:52] <Ben64> bigbadben: it needs to show up as /dev/sd_ to be able to write
[02:52] <tion_> this is a computer from 15 years ago
[02:52] <subcool_> k- someone tell me why my drive would be owned by root?
[02:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: then there is no way that 64 bit will work, likely
[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.
[02:53] <tion_> isnt that news
[02:53] <bigbadben> It does show up in dmesg
[02:53] <kcoffman> Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with my Compaq Presario V6000 running 12.04 LTS
[02:53] <Ben64> bigbadben: pastebin it?
[02:53] <usr13> subcool_: Is this a special storage drive?
[02:54] <tion_> Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release:	12.04 Codename:	precise
[02:54] <usr13> subcool_: You should be able to just change the ownership with sudo.
[02:54] <jakepiano> hi i have ubuntu installed. i want to dual boot ubuntu and windows 8. is there an easy way to do that?
[02:54] <tion_> what do i do after i install the nvidia blob?
[02:54] <BlackDalek> is there any simple way to remove customized colour themes from unity? My wife's PC was using Ubuntu 11.04 with customized colour gnome theme and when she upgraded to 12.04, it took the custom colour setting with it and now all the top menus are unreadable (black on black) and icon text is all black on black... how do we remove custom colours in unity and get the default colour theme back?
[02:55] <bigbadben> http://pastebin.com/XtRkSsYz
[02:55] <bigbadben> its the jmicron usb to atabridge
[02:55] <usr13> subcool_: But how did you do this?  What did you do?   How did you copy the files to it?
[02:55] <tion_> cant anyone help?
[02:55] <subcool_> julian-delphiki, usr13 - um it is a harddrive set to initiate during boot- but i have never run into this issue. chown 777 right?
[02:56] <subcool_> thats my point- i have never had an issue until today
[02:56] <daftykins> bigbadben: "sudo fdisk -l" does it show up?
[02:56] <psychopathic> BlackDalek: Just erase the config files in the home directory.
[02:56] <usr13> subcool_: Well, no.  You'd want to change ownership.  Right?
[02:56] <munderwo-work> SolarisBoy: Ok, so had a look at the storage stuff and physical and virtual disks are all a-ok.. So I still have a whole bunch of kernel threads consuming a LOT of lod
[02:56] <tion_> i bet TF2 can setup better res that xrandr
[02:56] <munderwo-work> *load
[02:56] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: looks like its sde?
[02:57] <subcool_> yeah
[02:57] <usr13> sburjan`: What is the mount point?
[02:57] <BlackDalek> psychopathic... I don't know where to find them... :( any clues?
[02:57] <subcool_> usr13, yeah
[02:57] <Ben64> tion_: after you get the nvidia driver, reboot
[02:57] <usr13> subcool_: What is the mount point?
[02:57] <munderwo-work> Kraln-: WEll looks like my raid arrays check out.
[02:57] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben, if it is infact /dev/sde you could "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sde"
[02:57] <tion_> its not gona work!
[02:57] <subcool_> usr13, i dont remember.. :/
[02:57] <julian-delphiki> tion_: you're not very willing to try things
[02:57] <bigbadben> I have another external hardrive hooked up
[02:58] <usr13> subcool_: YOu don't know the mount point?  How do you know it's owned by root?
[02:58] <tion_> well at least it leted me use extended destop res
[02:58] <TheLordOfTime> tion_, if you're not willing to try things that we're suggesting, which would likely help fix your issue, nobody'll want to help you
[02:58] <subcool_> i pulled up a few files and look at their properties
[02:58] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: hmm, may want to unplug everything except this one drive
[02:58] <julian-delphiki> to be sure.
[02:58] <usr13> subcool_: What is the user name that you use on this PC?
[02:58] <tion_> i cant click the box on the nvidia drivers install screen
[02:58] <psychopathic> BlackDalek: The config files are listed with a .* in front of them with "ls -a" or show hidden files in nautilus.
[02:58] <subcool_> subcool
[02:58] <bigbadben> yeah Ill try it on my laptob maybe
[02:58] <tion_> its below the visible screen
[02:58] <subcool_> usr13,
[02:59] <julian-delphiki> bigbadben: laptop*
[02:59] <tion_> this monitor dont know what a EIDI is!
[02:59] <usr13> subcool_: ls -l /where-ever/it/is  |pastebinit
[03:00] <Ben64> tion_: what install screen? you should have done it through apt-get
[03:00] <kcoffman> I have a problem with the sound and volume control on my laptop. If the sound is below about 80% it's silent, when it's at 100% it's super loud and there is a very small window for a happy medium
[03:01] <tion_> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current what driver is it going to fetch?
[03:01] <usr13> subcool_: sudo chown subcool /where-ever/it/is
[03:01] <BlackDalek> psychopathic we guessed it would be one of the hidden files, but which? None of them in the home directory are screaming out "I have theme customizations in here"... :(
[03:01] <julian-delphiki> tion_: whatever the current nvidia driver is...
[03:02] <tion_> i cant use the latest
[03:02] <tion_> wtf i need 173
[03:02] <julian-delphiki> tion_: i think people here about ready to be done helping you.
[03:02] <usr13> subcool_: But make sure you do it to the correct directory.
[03:03] <tion_> you dont help you just telling me to push buttons
[03:03] <subcool_> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529806/
[03:03] <tion_> i just know its not gona work
[03:03] <julian-delphiki> tion_: well, we're trying to help, and you're being very argumenative to people who are trying to help
[03:03] <tion_> and probablly x wont starrt
[03:03] <tion_> i tryed it before
[03:03] <julian-delphiki> tried*
[03:03] <Ben64> tion_: then go away
[03:04] <usr13> subcool_: What comand gave you that output,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529806/ ?

[03:06] <Ben64> tion_: stop with randr, its not your problem
[03:06] <bigbadben> That did not work I wonder why
[03:06] <Ben64> tion_: if you won't listen, leave
[03:06] <tion_> this is from the official documentation
[03:06] <usr13> sburjan`: chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/
[03:06] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that is debian, not ubuntu
[03:07] <tion_> so why is it on this channel bot ?»!
[03:07] <usr13> subcool_  What filesystem is it?
[03:07] <tion_> !xrandr
[03:07] <usr13> subcool_: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[03:07] <julian-delphiki> tion_: okay, but still, just install the nvidia-current driver
[03:07] <the_hydra> hi all
[03:07] <Ben64> tion_: this is the last time i'm going to tell you. xrandr is not the issue, you need the driver

[03:09] <vuln> How can I change my cursor size in Ubuntu 12.04?
[03:09] <the_hydra> Xorg log says "double triple", which according to debian wiki, confirms that my touchpad recognize up to 3 fingers press

[03:09] <daggs> am I high?
[03:10] <subcool_> usr13, uh- idk...
[03:10] <usr13> subcool_: sde3 and sde4 ?
[03:10] <daggs> never mind
[03:10] <subcool_> usr13, i have to ls it to figure that out.
[03:10] <subcool_> i setup a few partition to mount on boot

[03:13] <tion_> hello?
[03:13] <usr13> sburjan`: Never mind.  The command I gave you: (chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/) will have no effect.  sde2 is HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
[03:13] <usr13> subcool_: Never mind.  The command I gave you: (chown -R subcool_ /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/) will have no effect.  sde2 is HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
[03:13] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?

[03:14] <the_hydra> any help, people?
[03:14] <usr13> subcool_: Ownership is not the same.  You should still be able to access the files though.  Right?
[03:15] <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?
[03:16] <subcool_> it automounts... i know that
[03:16] <usr13> subcool_: I don't know either.
[03:16] <the_hydra> how to make sure my  touchpad does indeed support Unity mouse gestures?
[03:16] <the_hydra> my laptop was a product circa early 2008
[03:16] <the_hydra> Xorg log says "double triple", which according to debian wiki, confirms that my touchpad recognize up to 3 fingers press

[03:16] <artful_d> jakepiano: sorry, came in late on this, but what's the current partitioning scheme?
[03:16] <the_hydra> so far, none of the Unity gestures mentioned in the ubuntu wiki works
[03:17] <subcool_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529845/ usr13
[03:17] <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
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <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
[03:20] <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?
[03:21] <usr13> the_hydra: It's mounted rw  see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529825/
[03:21] <the_hydra> usr13, alright :)
[03:21] <usr13> the_hydra: It's 19% full  see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529845/
[03:22] <Ben64> subcool_: what groups do you belong to? (type "groups" in terminal)
[03:22] <usr13> the_hydra: But it's also exFAT filesystem.  See:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529816/
[03:22] <subcool_> Ben64, idk
[03:22] <subcool_> my head hurts
[03:22] <subcool_> i need a drink
[03:22] <usr13> the_hydra: *91%
[03:23] <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
[03:24] <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
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <subcool_> but, i also want to put file IN there..
[03:26] <subcool_> i really dont get why it is mounted as root
[03:26] <usr13> subcool_: ls -ltrS /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/
[03:26] <Ben64> subcool_: give list of groups
[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] <Ben64> subcool_: what groups do you belong to? (type "groups" in terminal)
[03:26] <subcool_> subcool adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[03:27] <usr13> subcool_: ls -ltrS /media/StorageX2/MoviesX2/ |pastebinit
[03:27] <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] <artful_d> jakepiano: on your current configuration, sda1 and sda2 are primary. You get 4. So Win 8 needs
[03:27] <kcoffman> Can someone help me with a 12.04 sound issue
[03:27] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[03:27] <subcool_> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1529866/
[03:28] <tion_> glxgears  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[03:28] <artful_d> woops, 2 partitions. 1 for recovery, the rest for win8 full, both ntfs
[03:28] <subcool_> its cool- ill deal with it later.. thanks..
[03:28] <usr13> subcool_: Not much help.  Those are all directory names.
[03:29] <tion_> im using novou?
[03:29] <kcoffman> someone?? anyone???
[03:29] <tion_> now i can have all the windows on screen
[03:29] <tion_> at least that worked ok
[03:29] <subcool_> ill be back later.. thanks.. - i was just trying to figure out wtf, but appearently its worse than i thought..
[03:30] <subcool_> thanks a lot- .. later..
[03:30] <the_hydra> so guys, any help for me? :)
[03:30] <usr13> subcool_: Ok.  Sorry we weren't much help.
[03:31] <usr13> the_hydra: What is your problem?
[03:31] <subcool_> you were a ton of help
[03:31] <the_hydra> unity gestures
[03:31] <subcool_> thank you..
[03:31] <tion_> hey why doesent glxgears work?
[03:31] <the_hydra> usr13, it doesn't work at all
[03:31] <tion_> nvidia control doesent work
[03:32] <usr13> the_hydra: Oh, I don't know about unity gestures.  Sorry.  (I use xfce)
[03:32] <the_hydra> usr13, ok...btw, do you ever use touchegg?
[03:33] <usr13> the_hydra: No, sorry, don't know about touchegg either.
[03:34] <the_hydra> usr13, ok np
[03:34] <tion_> should i install the recomended driver now? that is 173.?
[03:34] <the_hydra> basically my problem is, how to find out if my touchpad does indeed support multitouch
[03:34] <usr13> the_hydra: I'm seeing:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/touchegg  (for first time.../)
[03:34] <tion_> hello someone was helping me?
[03:35] <Guest21135> my computer freezes with an ubuntu 12.04 usb pen drive inserted. it cant even enter bios. what s wrong?
[03:35] <Nukien> Can anyone point me in the right direction for building an install udeb/something that can query the user for information, much as the tasksel one does during regular install? I need to have user select from a bunch of choices (radiobutton) plus enter a couple of text fields. Want to do that as early as possible after ISO boot, that then feeds preseeded install.
[03:36] <tion_> 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: NVIDIA Corporation nForce2 AGP (rev c1) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)
[03:37] <the_hydra> Guest21135, if the usb pendrive is not inserted i.e booting from hard disk, everything goes fine?
[03:37] <tion_> should i downgrade nvidea driver to the recomended one?
[03:37] <brian_petersen> I have a dual boot with windows 8. How do I set the default Grub selection for windows? I don't want to edit the menu file as that would be overwritten everytime I do update-grub. Any ideas?
[03:38] <Guest21135> the_hydra , yes
[03:38] <tion_> i dont seem to have 3d acceleration
[03:38] <scarrs> well I got mpd, mpc, gmpc and ampache working. would anybody like to know how I did it?
[03:38] <altin> is there a good linux app for designing graphs ?
[03:38] <the_hydra> Guest21135, i think it's more like hardware problem, either your usb port or the usb pendrive itself
[03:38] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, IIRC it
[03:39] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, it's in /etc/sysconfig/grub IIRC
[03:39] <the_hydra> alta, like Visio?
[03:39] <brian_petersen> the_hydra, I don't have a sysconfig dir
[03:40] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, sorry /etc/default/grub
[03:41] <brian_petersen> the_hydra, ah, thanks!
[03:41] <the_hydra> altin, like Visio?
[03:41] <the_hydra> brian_petersen, you welcome
[03:42] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i also believe it s a motherboard issue although im almost sure that making some modification in ubuntu install the computer could not freeze and let me use a boot loader
[03:42] <altin> the_hydra: is that in ubuntu repo ?
[03:43] <the_hydra> altin, maybe you can try Pencil or Dia
[03:43] <tion_> how do i know what nvidia driver im using?
[03:43] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i dont know anything about boot loader syslinux etc
[03:43] <the_hydra> Guest21135, when exactly it got freeze? right after RAM counts?
[03:44] <kcoffman> I am having a problem with my sound levels. If it's below about 80% (on the slider bar) it's totally silent, when it's at 100% it's super loud.
[03:44] <Guest21135> the_hydra , it freezes after checking hd s cdrom
[03:45] <altin> the_hydra: kk will take a look at them :)
[03:45] <altin> thnx
[03:45] <the_hydra> Guest21135, totally trivial idea, can you switch that into usb legacy mode
[03:46] <Guest21135> the_hydra , i ve tryed that with no success
[03:46] <the_hydra> kcoffman, have you check with alsamixer command?
[03:46] <sqldad> I can't find libdvdcss2 -- am I missing something in my sources.list?
[03:46] <kcoffman> I have no idea what I am doing. :/
[03:46] <sqldad> nm, found the answer
[03:47] <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?
[03:48] <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?
[03:49] <the_hydra> kcoffman, use down arrow to lower, up arrow to raise
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <Nukien> Can anyone point me in the right direction for building an install udeb/something that can query the user for information, much as the tasksel one does during regular install? I need to have user select from a bunch of choices (radiobutton) plus enter a couple of text fields. Want to do that as early as possible after ISO boot, that then feeds preseeded install.
[03:50] <the_hydra> kcoffman, yes, but try to experiment while i.e playing a song so you got ideal volume level for your own
[03:50] <Priest_Pio> I have one problem about the grub don`t show and get one grub blank screen in ubuntu 12.10. So after i edit "/etc/default/grub" and remove the "#" from GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 it looks it start to work fine
[03:51] <julian-delphiki> Nukien: i can't say i've ever had debian-installer ask questions.
[03:52] <tion_> i instaled nvidia current drivers but im missing 3d accelaration
[03:52] <tion_> can someone help?
[03:52] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that card is probably too old for 3d
[03:52] <dcherniv> Nukien, !dialog
[03:52] <tion_> it worked fine in intrepid
[03:52] <Nukien> Maybe I'm not being clear: Boot the install ISO, and it starts asking questions - hostname, main username/password, the tasksel section where you choose what type of system it is.
[03:53] <Nukien> !dialog
[03:53] <tion_> glxgears 60 fps
[03:53] <tion_> now glxgears dont work
[03:53] <julian-delphiki> doesn't*
[03:53] <tion_> do not work
[03:53] <julian-delphiki> does not
[03:54] <dcherniv> Nukien, http://linux.die.net/man/1/dialog
[03:54] <magn3ts> Why is there not an OpenJDK 7u11 update yet?
[03:54] <kcoffman> the_hyrda, it didn't work, I took a screen shot so you can understand what I'm saying
[03:54] <Nukien> hah - just figured that. thought it was a bot query
[03:55] <Nukien> thanks
[03:55] <tion_> can i try installing the 173. nvidia driver?
[03:55] <the_hydra> kcoffman, still too loud?
[03:55] <tion_> or is going back to poor resolution?
[03:55] <the_hydra> kcoffman, sorry, can't browse pic right now, i am reserving bandwith to download ISO
[03:56] <julian-delphiki> tion_ I'm unsure.
[03:56] <kcoffman> the_hydra no, it's super quiet now at 100%
[03:56] <the_hydra> kcoffman, what????? weird
[03:56] <tion_> i need to install steam
[03:56] <dcherniv> tion_, glxgears will vsync so the fps wont be higher than your vfreq in this case 60hz
[03:57] <Nukien> Is dialog workable from a preseed environment right after ISO boot? For example in the d-i preseed/early_command string ?
[03:57] <kcoffman> the_hydra I took a screen shot to show you the terminal and the volume level on my computer so maybe you'd understand it better... i have no idea
[03:57] <julian-delphiki> Nukien, I have a feeling that it will not be
[03:57] <julian-delphiki> but i could be wrong
[03:57] <the_hydra> kcoffman, hm okay, let me see
[03:57] <tion_> how can i remove openoffice?
[03:58] <tion_> apt-get remove openoffice* ?
[03:58] <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
[03:59] <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] <Nukien> Looking to be able to provide information that regular preseeding can't handle, to build a completely hands-off install.
[04:00] <Guest46286> unable to logged in as a root user..su: Authentication failure..
[04:01] <the_hydra> Guest43354, use sudo
[04:02] <Guest46286> using sudo display its uses
[04:02] <the_hydra> Guest43354, sudo <your command"
[04:03] <the_hydra> Guest43354, ubuntu is designed so users don't need to login as root
[04:03] <tion_> is there an irc plugging for rithmbox?
[04:03] <Guest46286> its working,,but 2 days earlier i am able 2 use
[04:03] <Guest46286> su then passwd
[04:03] <julian-delphiki> tion_: that would be specific of the client you're using
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> Guest46286: sudo su -
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> will make you root
[04:04] <magn3ts> Why is there not an OpenJDK 7u11 update yet?
[04:04] <kcoffman> the_hydra I can't get a snapshot with the volume bar showing
[04:04] <julian-delphiki> magn3ts: you can install the update from oracle
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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)
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <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%
[04:09] <tion_> soft center crashed
[04:09] <kcoffman> the_hyrda okay, I still have a few problems. 1 being Tor and 2 being the volume control above my keyboard
[04:09] <jakepiano> artful_n are you here still?
[04:10] <jakepiano> artful_d are you here?
[04:10] <kcoffman> the_hyrda do you have a "desktop" viewing software enabled? I can try to show you that way?
[04:10] <julian-delphiki> jakepiano, there is no name like that
[04:10] <tion_> how do i change icons order on the lunch bar?
[04:11] <magn3ts> I recommend tails instead of trying to run Tor securely yourself. Unless you *really* know what you're doing.
[04:11] <linux> random question, anyone in here tried JessBuntu ?
[04:11] <tion_> how do i change icons order on the lunch bar?
[04:11] <julian-delphiki> linux: this is ubuntu support
[04:11] <julian-delphiki> so
[04:11] <tion_> i want work areas 1st
[04:12] <magn3ts> linux: that is hideous looking, and no.
[04:12] <magn3ts> It looks like a custom icon theme + awn theme... not sure why everyone rolls a distro for a custom theme
[04:12] <kcoffman> magn3ts have no idea what I am doing
[04:13] <tion_> should i run nvidia xconfig as root?
[04:13] <magn3ts> kcoffman: I recommend tails then. It's an ISO you can burn and boot or run less securely in a VM. It has good defaults, etc, to keep from leaking your identity, which often happens when people run  Tor under Ubuntu without taking all the precautions.
[04:13] <jakepiano> yeah i was talking to him earlier.
[04:13] <magn3ts> tion_: it will error and fail if you don't wanyway.
[04:13] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:14] <munderwo-work> Hi all. Any idea why my server would be having a load average of 7-8 on a 4 core machine when nothing is running. It looks like Kernel threads according to htop. Is there anyway of finding out which processes are contributing to load average?
[04:14] <tion_> nvidia current instaled the worng driver
[04:14] <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.)
[04:15] <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
[04:16] <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)?
[04:17] <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
[04:18] <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.
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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 x	768
[04:20] <anunnaki> so any old timers in here?
[04:21] <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
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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)?
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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 :/
[04:27] <magn3ts> although I'm really happy with my setup now...
[04:27] <ai23k> unfortunately the official repos for ubuntu 10.10 are no more working as well . . . I got the same problem
[04:27] <WXZ> magn3ts: I have a zaphod mode setup, the only thing I need is to be able to move windows to either monitor
[04:27] <tion_> magn3ts: how do i know what is it im using?
[04:28] <Redeeemed> hi
[04:29] <jakepiano> could someone help me with partitions for installing win8? i have ubuntu currently
[04:30] <_helios_> jakepiano, win8 is the worste OS made, crashes constantly
[04:30] <matrixfox> id10t errors
[04:31] <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] <_helios_> Why would you need win8 for school im just curious
[04:31] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Sounds like you have the right idea. What do you need help wtih?
[04:31] <clone1018> How can I change my open file limits on ubuntu 12.10?
[04:32] <jakepiano> i need to partition my drive in a way that windows likes. i know it needs to be primary and to be a large partition. i'm not sure if it needs to be ntfs. if so how do i do all of that?
[04:32] <jakepiano> martixfox i need to partition my drive in a way that windows likes. i know it needs to be primary and to be a large partition. i'm not sure if it needs to be ntfs. if so how do i do all of that?
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <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?
[04:35] <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?
[04:36] <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
[04:38] <ai23k> magn3ts: I think ubuntu has discontinued support for 10.10 that is the problem
[04:38] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Looks like a mess. Should install Windows first, before Ubuntu...
[04:39] <clone1018> Why wont ubuntu change the open file limit?
[04:39] <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?
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <_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
[04:43] <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~
[04:44] <_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?
[04:45] <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] <vhadil> help, how to fix this, icon suck http://postimage.org/image/l4g0a8fp7/
[04:45] <jakepiano> yeah i have gparted and matrixfox i know that. how do i partition it correctly so?
[04:46] <_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?
[04:47] <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] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Both NTFS, bah
[04:47] <_helios_> jakepiano, why don't you just keep the full install of ubuntu and run windows as a virtual box?
[04:49] <agent> There are lots of suggestions about dual boot as windows but, I'm not using windows.
[04:49] <jakepiano> ooh thats a good idea  _helios_ . what would be the advantage/disadvantage of having it swapped? i was going to do ubuntu as a virtual box
[04:49] <agent> wireless is on in bios but I can't get it to turn on in ubuntu
[04:50] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Running VM's have a lot of down sides
[04:50] <agent> so I was wondering where to access ubuntu related questions
[04:50] <jakepiano> like what?
[04:50] <unreal82> matrixfox: agreed.
[04:50] <_helios_> well windows 8 constantly crashes my gf has it on her laptop and she can't stand it so I'm prob going to have to change her to windows 7 because she don't understand ubuntu.
[04:50] <matrixfox> jakepiano: Well for one, networking...
[04:50] <thec4ke> like i hope you dont enjoy 3d games
[04:51] <_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] <_helios_> jakepiano, ubuntu has tons of word processing and its free.
[04:51] <thec4ke> you shouldnt even need windows as a vm
[04:51] <malkauns> how do u get global menu to work for apps over remote X?
[04:52] <jakepiano> well either way i'd like windows around for some things as i'm learning ubuntu. how do i do a virtural box?
[04:52] <_helios_> jakepiano, and you can save your files in .docx format for the windows teachers,  I'm going to college to and I told them I don't do the Windows thing so I send my assignments as a .pdf or .docx becaues LIbreOffice can create microsoft .docx formatted files.
[04:52] <agent> Now, if your sister were to eliminate windows and only had ubuntu on her machine... if she had a problem with wireless connecting, where should she look?
[04:53] <jakepiano> ok great i'll use that! either way how do i go about getting win8 on a virtual box?
[04:53] <matrixfox> agent: Wicd?
[04:53] <agent> how about asking in a windows 8 chat?
[04:53] <d3remark> hello i can't seem to connect to my wireless... i did 'lspci | grep -i netw' and i can see that my wireless card is infact detected
[04:53] <agent> is there one here on freenode I can use for Ubuntu questions?
[04:54] <_helios_> jakepiano, I'm not sure what the best VM client is these days but they all should work,  If you google it you're sure to find tons of info.
[04:54] <d3remark> i did a 12.04 netboot install and installed the MATE desktop on my own
[04:54] <jakepiano> alright
[04:54] <agent> same d3remark
[04:54] <d3remark> but i don't see any network connect options
[04:54] <d3remark> agent: was your wireless card detected?
[04:55] <agent> same, they are greying out
[04:55] <agent> its set to "wireless disabled by hardware switch" but, it isnt
[04:56] <d3remark> agent: how did you resolve it?
[04:56] <agent> I havent. I'm using wire
[04:56] <d3remark> also do you know how to disable ubuntu from booting into network mode?
[04:56] <d3remark> xD ok
[04:56] <d3remark> we fix this together then... tonight!
[04:56] <agent> Id love it if anyone could help
[04:57] <the_hydra> anyone can help with unity gesture here?
[04:58] <d3remark> agent: i think we just have to enable the wireless card manually... when i do sudo lshw -C Network, it showd me card but it says disabled... what about you?
[04:58] <krz> ubuntu doesn't star
[04:59] <krz> i am taken to the terminal window. the last thing i changed was the experimental settings in the compiz editor
[04:59] <eatsapizza> hello
[04:59] <krz> anyone know how to undo this?
[05:00] <the_hydra> d3remark, agent i think "rfkill" command can help to enable your wireless
[05:00] <Error404NotFound> I am trying to install ubuntu on alienware m17xr3 and the screen goes black, as in display off mode, once ubuntu boots from live usb. I have tried unetbootin as well as dd, same issue.
[05:01] <dfgas> i tried to install a package through apt-get and it failed, how do i fix apt-get now, i just want to uninstall it
[05:03] <Error404NotFound> dfgas: failed at what step? pastebin the output of that apt-get command.
[05:04] <agent> @the_hyda, rfkill didn't help much
[05:04] <Error404NotFound> dfgas: usually you can use apt-get install -f to reinstall a package failed due to broken dependencies. You can always apt-get remove a package if you don't need it
[05:04] <jaker44444> hello
[05:04] <jaker44444> i come in peace
[05:05] <jaker44444> anyone in here ?
[05:05] <Feedhurley> Hello, does someone know how Ubuntu phone is going to support Android apps, and Linux programs?
[05:05] <jaker44444> andriod is linux?
[05:05] <jaker44444> ubuntu is linux ?
[05:06] <Error404NotFound> Feedhurley: it might but not out of box. I think we would still have a different store for ubuntu phone apps as apk is android package archives. though thats just zip.
[05:07] <jaker44444> is there any utility that will delete files inside a folder every half an hour?
[05:07] <jaker44444> something with GUI
[05:08] <_helios_> dfgas, you can also try sudo apt-get update --fix -missing
[05:09] <Feedhurley> Error404NotFound So by default it is android apps you run? and by some configuration you are going to be able to run Linux programs? (like gparted etc)
[05:10] <madprops> hi
[05:10] <Error404NotFound> Feedhurley: haven't tried it yet, haven't got a uphone yet
[05:10] <henrique> hello
[05:10] <dfgas> Error404NotFound, i was trying to install oracle sun java install the installer but the installer fails to download what it needs and now errors out all the time
[05:10] <dfgas> oracle / sun must have moved files it says
[05:11] <Feedhurley> Error404NotFound okey, just tought if you have heard any rumors about how they are going to handle applications :) Thanks anyway
[05:11] <gimmickless> Just curious: has anyone ever had trouble with their laptop keyboard stuck in a constant downscroll?
[05:11] <gimmickless> Does anyone know of applications that can track to see which buttons are firing?
[05:12] <rumpel> gimmickless, xev
[05:18] <oospill> hi .. trying to install ubuntu 10.04.4 along side windows xp installed on NTFS partition.  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] <oospill> I did all this cause gparted would change the size of the ntfs partition .. any idease?  much thanks
[05:18] <gimmickless> rumpel, problem solved. Turns out my wireless mouse receiver was wonky. After a replug, all was well. Thanks for the tip, though!
[05:19] <malkauns> how do u get global menu to work for apps over remote X?
[05:19] <_helios_> oospill, I have a link to a youtube video that I used to do a dual boot you want it?
[05:19] <oospill> ehh
[05:19] <oospill> well the thing is ..
[05:20] <oospill> gparted didn't want to resize the ntfs partition so I could add a linux partition
[05:20] <_helios_> oospill, check this video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HANcetKsqc
[05:20] <oospill> do I need to be messing with the mbr?
[05:20] <oospill> I'm out of practice
[05:20] <_helios_> oospill, follow that video and you won't have any problems.
[05:21] <undsen> hi
[05:21] <oospill> I'd prefer an html walkthough .. I don't have ubuntu installed yet .. no flash/youtube
[05:21] <claudinei_> oi
[05:21] <_helios_> oospill, but you have windows installed right?
[05:24] <oospill> alright ..
[05:24] <oospill> lesse here
[05:25] <WXZ> is there anyway to setup ubuntu so that I can switch workspaces independently (monitor 1 = workspace 1, monitor 2 = workspace 2)?
[05:25] <oospill> fdisk shows sda1p1 and sda1p2 .. I want to have sda1 and sda2, right?
[05:26] <oospill> ya
[05:26] <oospill> that's the problem
[05:27] <oospill> need extended partition
[05:30] <kcoffman> How do I burn an ISO to a jump drive (tails)
[05:30] <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.
[05:31] <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.
[05:32] <jhansonxi_> WXZ: With this mode you configure the desktop on each monitor independently with their own menus, panels, and workspaces.
[05:34] <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.
[05:36] <guest-uyBAGk> hey guys
[05:37] <sankey> for those of you who run gnome 3.6 in ubuntu 12.10,
[05:37] <sankey> are the window drag animations in the overview supposed to look like this?
[05:37] <sankey> http://eserver.sytes.net/tmp/final.webm
[05:38] <guest-uyBAGk> i have a mobo with a graphics card and a pci-e slot, which also has a graphics card. for a long time i used the pci-e video card but one day ubuntu went to standby and when it woke up the video never came back. i had to switch to the mobos video card
[05:39] <guest-uyBAGk> is there any way i can query what the OS sees in the pci-e slot?
[05:39] <daftykins> guest-uyBAGk: open a terminal and type lspci
[05:39] <guest-uyBAGk> i want to see if at least the slot is functional
[05:40] <WXZ> jhansonxi: there's got to be a work around, there's no way someone hasn't worked this out
[05:40] <guest-uyBAGk> daftykins, what should i look for there?
[05:40] <daftykins> guest-uyBAGk: your PCI-E graphics card
[05:42] <jhansonxi> WXZ: Google found this: http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/01/28/206240/2-displays-and-2-workspaces-with-linux-and-x

[06:07] <akis> my system's notebook was just updated wint new version of chromium (23.0.1271.97). i am trying to update my system's netbook to the same version but the update manager doesn't find any update. Both systems are running xubutu 12.04 under the same initial clean installation. any advise plz?
[06:08] <daftykins> akis: be patient young grasshopper
[06:08] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530103/
[06:08] <tion> nothing to see there
[06:09] <usr13> akis: Can you re-phrase  your question?
[06:09] <Ben64> tion: you should delete that file
[06:09] <tion> why? its just going to make it again
[06:09] <tion> its not going to solve anything
[06:10] <Ben64> haven't needed xorg.conf since like 9.xx
[06:10] <tion> i need add my res
[06:10] <Ben64> not to there
[06:10] <tion> its the monitor because this monitor dont have IEDI
[06:11] <Ben64> what monitor
[06:11] <akis> usr13: although my notebook's system was updated with new version of chromium, my netbook's system doesn't find any update to install. Both systems are running xubutu 12.04 under the same initial clean installation. why?
[06:11] <usr13> tion: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    #And send resulting URL
[06:11] <tion> the screen im looking at
[06:11] <Ben64> dude. give a model
[06:11] <tion> 17 inch
[06:11] <Ben64> of course its the one you're looking at, don't be cheeky
[06:12] <Ben64> !attitude | tion
[06:12] <tion> model unkonwn
[06:12] <jhansonxi> akis: One may have outdated package lists or it may be using a different repository mirror that doesn't have the latest package yet.
[06:13] <xsumi5> Anyone know of any odd issues plugging in headphones with a mic / vol controls on it?
[06:13] <usr13> akis: So you have two devices?  Exactly what are they?  What hardware?
[06:13] <tion> http://www.telecompaper.com/news/amaga-computer-to-launch-amaga-17in-monitor--132759
[06:13] <tion> must be this one
[06:13] <tion> good luck
[06:14] <akis> jhansonxi: i understand what you said but on both i installed the same day the same software.
[06:14] <tion> Ben64, ???
[06:15] <tion> how do i make xorg obey ?!
[06:15] <unreal82> anyone know how to create an iso file from a cd?
[06:15] <tion> i need at least 1024x
[06:15] <akis> usr13: notebook=hp 1,5 ghz celeron with 1,5 gb ram. netbook=lenovo cpu intel atom with 1gb ram. both are running the same package of 12.04
[06:15] <jhansonxi> akis: Are both systems the same architecture?  32-bit/64-bit?  Netbooks are often 32-bit.
[06:15] <jaker44444> usr13 it says no crontab
[06:16] <magn3ts_> I'd rather poke my eyes out than use a 1600x1200 display over VGA
[06:16] <jaker44444> i don't have it on my ubuntu. what can i do?
[06:16] <usr13> akis: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:16] <tion> how can i fix this?!
[06:16] <usr13> jaker44444: What says no crontab?
[06:16] <akis> both are 32bit and usually every update comes the same time on both systems
[06:16] <dr_willis> unreal82:  you an dd the /dev/whatever device to a image if you wanted
[06:16] <magn3ts_> tion, you'll have to get a manual for the monitor and set a modeset line yourself probably.
[06:17] <dr_willis> unreal82:  that may not work with some copy protected disks
[06:17] <jaker44444> no crontab for root - using an empty one  Select an editor.  To change later, run 'select-editor'.   1. /bin/ed   2. /bin/nano        <---- easiest   3. /usr/bin/vim.tiny
[06:17] <usr13> jaker44444:  crontab -e
[06:17] <magn3ts_> again, depends on hte Xorg conf, several people have asked you to help us help you.
[06:17] <tion> how do i set a modeset line?
[06:17] <usr13> jaker44444: Oh, well take your pick.  nano?
[06:17] <magn3ts_> usr13 gave you instructions above to start helping.
[06:17] <jhansonxi> akis:  Open a terminal window and try on the affected system: sudo apt-get update
[06:17] <magn3ts_> tion, usr13 asked you to do this, it will help us: #  pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:17] <tion> this monitor can handle any rest up to 1600x1200
[06:18] <tion> i already did
[06:18] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530103/
[06:18] <tion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530103/
[06:18] <magn3ts_> tion, and I assume you've rebooted so that you're sure the nvidia driver is currently active?
[06:19] <tion> didnt you read the xorg.conf on paste bin?
[06:19] <magn3ts_> tion, that doesn't mean it's in use.
[06:19] <jhansonxi> tion: Try a modeline calculator like: http://arachnoid.com/modelines/index.html
[06:19] <magn3ts_> tion, make cfg change -> reboot -> cfg is active. I don't know if you've done the second and third part.
[06:19] <tion> 1209 frames in 5.0 seconds = 241.799 FPS
[06:19] <akis> jhansonxi: it worked. new ver of chromium is ready to be downloaded. thanks a lot. solved!
[06:19] <tion> glxgears
[06:20] <guest____> hi
[06:20] <guest____> friends
[06:20] <guest____> is there
[06:20] <usr13> tion: nvidia-settings
[06:20] <magn3ts_> !ask | guest____
[06:20] <jaker44444> so user13 i add this inside the GNU nano ?  30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp   ???
[06:20] <tion> glxgears is working
[06:20] <guest____> any online who have knowledge of citadel
[06:20] <tion> its open
[06:20] <tion> configuration disabled
[06:20] <magn3ts_> tion, what do you mean "configuration disabled"?
[06:21] <magn3ts_> did it give you an error message/window?
[06:21] <jhansonxi> akis: The affected system simply had an outdated version of the package lists from the repository.  Normally the update applet will updated them periodically but it may have had trouble accessing the mirror when it tried.
[06:21] <Ben64> jaker44444: thats probably not the right directory
[06:21] <tion> on the tab that one should use to pick the resolution
[06:21] <tion> configuration disabled
[06:21] <akis> jhansonxi: is it fixed now after apt-get install command?
[06:21] <Ben64> tion: post a screenshot
[06:21] <magn3ts_> that's all it says?
[06:22] <jaker44444> Ben64 it says "  GNU nano 2.2.6                            File: /tmp/crontab.RoS753/crontab    "
[06:22] <tion> you dont belive me?
[06:22] <unreal82> dr_willis: I used cat /dev/whatever > /whateverdirectory/ I'm trying to save my windows xp disk. It was scratched a bit.
[06:22] <magn3ts_> tion, we just don't know what you mean
[06:22] <jaker44444> so to delete the files i add this ? 30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp
[06:22] <jaker44444> every 30 min
[06:22] <Ben64> jaker44444: i mean the /wine/windows/tmp
[06:22] <tion> on the layout config page
[06:22] <Ben64> jaker44444: thats probably not the right directory
[06:22] <magn3ts_> tion, do you have two monitors? It can't have the display as "disabled" if you're currently looking at it...
[06:23] <jhansonxi> akis: The "apt-get update" just tells it to fetch a new set of lists from all repositories.  All the package management tools (Synaptic, Aptitude, Ubuntu Software Center) use the same system.
[06:23] <tion> 1 monitor
[06:23] <Ben64> tion: stop arguing and post a screenshot, don't know why you have to argue every single thing, not a very efficient way to get help
[06:23] <android> hi, all
[06:23] <akis> ok, once again thank you for the advises.
[06:23] <tion> i dont know how to past thaT?
[06:24] <Ben64> !screenshot
[06:24] <dr_willis> unreal82:  i think cat should work.  id mention dd_rescue - but i dont thin it works with  Optical drives
[06:24] <android> hi
[06:24] <android> how do i change my nickname
[06:24] <usr13> tion: In the settings manager you should find Display  and you can change screen size resolution there.
[06:24] <jaker44444> Ben64  30 * * * * rm /home/myusername/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp
[06:24] <jaker44444> now that's right ?
[06:24] <android> "/nick" dose not work
[06:24] <magn3ts_> tion, please run: lshw -c video | pastebinit
[06:24] <tion> i dont want you to see mu user naem
[06:24] <Ben64> jaker44444: most likely
[06:25] <jaker44444> i don't want it to remove the folder but the files inside the folder
[06:25] <jaker44444> so tell me what to do
[06:25] <android> hi
[06:25] <usr13> jaker44444:  30 * * * * rm /wine/windows/tmp/*
[06:25] <Ben64> jaker44444: actually, then do /home/myusername/.wine/drive_c/windows/temp/*
[06:25] <dr_willis> tion:  change your PS1 prompt :) then it wont show the users name
[06:25] <Sail> android: /nick command is fine make sure the name you selected was not already taken
[06:25] <jaker44444> ok thanks
[06:25] <Ben64> jaker44444: just make sure that directory exists first
[06:25] <magn3ts_> dr_willis, lol, not what he needs right now :P
[06:25] <magn3ts_> tion, please run that last command, it does not output your username (or at least didn't for me)
[06:25] <jaker44444> thanks to both of you for the help.. do i need to type anything after i save and exit ?
[06:25] <dr_willis> Hes actually Bill Gates!
[06:25] <usr13> jaker44444: Or, if you need to remove the actual directory:  30 * * * * rm -rf /wine/windows/tmp   (But I doubt that is what you want.)
[06:26] <magn3ts_> jaker44444, what's piling up in there if you don't mind my asking
[06:26] <tion> display model -> crt0 bla bla
[06:26] <magn3ts_> tion, send me the link, please.
[06:26] <Feedhurley> I have never used any server before. And are now going in thoughts of putting up a FTP server. Do you recommend me to use software like filezilla or do you think i should do it by a virtual machine using a server OS ?
[06:26] <usr13> jaker44444: Yea, you need to use the full path to it.
[06:26] <tion> configuration -> disabled
[06:26] <jhansonxi> tion: I don't have an Nvidia system in front of me but I suspect it's disabled because it doesn't have root access.  The ATI utility has a separate "administrator" entry in the menus for making system-wide changes.  Is there a separate Nvidia entry in the menus that prompts for the root/sudo password?
[06:26] <Ben64> jhansonxi: don't need root for nvidia-settings
[06:27] <jaker44444> magn3ts that's a temporarliy folder for windows.. so just some trash files
[06:27] <jaker44444> not needed
[06:27] <jaker44444> logs and temp cached files
[06:27] <magn3ts> jaker44444, oh, I thought there was something happening that you needed to clear it that often o_0
[06:27] <jaker44444> in windows 90% of the time they stay there till you delete them
[06:27] <unreal82> dr_willis, it seems to be working, I'm virtualizing it right now. :
[06:27] <jaker44444> manually
[06:27] <tion> no im running it as root
[06:27] <magn3ts> tion, I'm not going to help you until you send me that link so I can confirm things.
[06:27] <usr13> jaker44444: You need to use the correct full path.  But if it is in the home dir, you can use  wine/windows/tmp     But is it  .wine?
[06:27] <Ben64> tion: don't run it as root :|
[06:28] <jaker44444> yes .wine
[06:28] <jaker44444> so is there a short cut to it ?
[06:28] <dr_willis> You could link Wine to .wine  ;) if you needed to access your .wine directory a lot
[06:28] <magn3ts> For crontab you'll need to use the full path /home/jaker44444/.wine/drive_c/windows/tmp probably...
[06:28] <usr13> jaker44444: short cut?   Just give the correct path.
[06:28] <jaker44444> mag3nts hahah.. ok
[06:29] <tion> if i click it there something saying separated screen requires restart
[06:29] <jaker44444> shortcut like in windows. i'm not an expert in linux
[06:29] <hych> I unzip a package-XY in download and want to install it! so I typed yum install XYZ but I get an error message:No package XYZ available . any help?
[06:29] <tion> were its saying disabled
[06:30] <jaker44444> anyway.. thanks all for the help
[06:30] <dr_willis> jaker44444:  linux file sustems support a thing called a 'link' which makes one thing appear in a differnt location.
[06:30] <magn3ts> tion, please run: lshw -c video | pastebinit   # and send me the link.
[06:30] <Ben64> tion: you should really delete xorg.conf and reboot
[06:30] <usr13> jaker44444: ls will tell you (the correct path).  ls /home/jaker44444/.wine/drive_c/windows/tmp   (Use the tab key somewhere along the way....)
[06:30] <dr_willis> jaker44444:  soft links (ln -s) and hard links (just ln)
[06:30] <tion> i dont have pastbini instaLE
[06:30] <magn3ts> `sudo apt-get install pastebinit`
[06:30] <usr13> tion: you mean pastebinit ?
[06:31] <jhansonxi> tion: This may help if the problem is that the monitor is not properly detected: http://askubuntu.com/questions/218871/xorg-does-not-see-my-monitor-edid
[06:32] <oospill> hi
[06:32] <jhansonxi> tion: Another one: http://analogbit.com/fix_nvidia_edid
[06:33] <usr13> tion: xrandr | pastebinit   #And send us resulting URL
[06:33] <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.
[06:34] <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.. ;)
[06:35] <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
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <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] <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
[06:38] <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 ...
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <Ben64> magn3ts: i'm thinking the conf might be affecting it
[06:40] <tion> this monitor can take any standart res / freq
[06:40] <rhizmoe> usr13: if ./partial is a symlink to a directory, part<tab> expands to `partial` and a second tab extends to `partial/`
[06:40] <tion> i have it 75 hdtz
[06:40] <tion> 11**x8**
[06:41] <rhizmoe> i know that the / means that if i rm -rf it that it will take out the target, but...hmm.
[06:41] <jhansonxi> tion: I'm out of ideas (other than you need get a new PC with PCI-E instead of old AGP)
[06:41] <oospill> this disk has bad sector .. etc .. checkdsk /f /r, then resize with --bad-sectors option of ntfsresize
[06:41] <guest____> hi
[06:41] <guest____> friends
[06:41] <Feedhurley> I have never used any server before. And are now going in thoughts of putting up a FTP server. Do you recommend me to use software like filezilla or do you think i should do it by a virtual machine using a server OS ?
[06:41] <tion> bah
[06:41] <oospill> that's what it says
[06:41] <guest____> is there anyone who have worked with citadel :)
[06:41] <the_dark_knight> Hi, I know I should ask this in #mysql. But can't connect to #mysql. Has anybody resolved this error before- "ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction" I get this while updating a column of a table using its primary key. Please help me.
[06:41] <magn3ts> guest____, no, sorry. You should just ask your question though.
[06:42] <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 ____________________?
[06:43] <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
[06:44] <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.
[06:45] <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] <tion> i did apt-get install nvidia-current
[06:45] <guest____> magn3ts , u r right
[06:45] <tion> and had 1024.840
[06:46] <tion> but no glx
[06:46] <Hoyt> Hi, Is maverick (10.10) out of support?
[06:46] <Ben64> Hoyt: yep
[06:46] <dr_willis> !10.10
[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] <dr_willis> !samba | Feedhurley
[06:46] <magn3ts> but that sounds strange. I avoid resizing and using ntfs for a reason :)
[06:46] <Ben64> tion: so what did you do after that
[06:46] <Hoyt> Thanks
[06:46] <jhansonxi> tion: Create a new default xorg.conf with: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/225
[06:46] <magn3ts> guest____, yeah, but what's your question about it ?
[06:46] <dr_willis> Feedhurley:  its what does 'windows network type shares'
[06:47] <tion> i installed the recomended driver 173
[06:47] <oospill> magn3ts: I've rebooted.
[06:47] <tion> and back to this stupid res
[06:47] <Ben64> tion: then delete xorg.conf, reboot, start up nvidia-settings and set the resolution
[06:47] <guest____> magn3ts , i want to upload a sieve script manually from GUI
[06:47] <guest____> of citadel
[06:47] <magn3ts> tion, well, do step 1, 2, and 3, but for step 4 of jhansonxi's link, don't use sudo.
[06:48] <Ben64> don't need xorg.conf for 12.04
[06:48] <magn3ts> guest___, yeah, mate you'll probably want to see if citadel has an IRC room or something, best I can do is guess random things like: try to find a mail client that support managesieve and upload with that?
[06:48] <oospill> the short story is I'm living at a sober living house and want to install ubuntu off this 10.04.4 live disc I have, and keep winxp incase everyone hates it.  not my puter.
[06:48] <magn3ts> Ben64, it's still necessary to get X to use the `nvidia` driver isn't it?
[06:48] <oospill> I can get another blank disc tomorrow ..
[06:48] <Ben64> magn3ts: nope
[06:48] <Feedhurley> dr_willis okey :) thank you for the help!
[06:48] <oospill> maybe try some other live discs .. repair the ntfs??
[06:49] <magn3ts> Ben64, oh right, mine is because of my EDID issues, never mind, my mistake.
[06:49] <Ben64> oospill: you need to repair ntfs from windows
[06:49] <dr_willis> oospill:  you can do a install to a usb flash drive if  you needed to.
[06:49] <oospill> I don't have a thumb drive.
[06:49] <oospill> =(
[06:49] <oospill> plus this is a circa '00 dell
[06:50] <oospill> dimension 4100 golly gee
[06:50] <jillking> hello
[06:50] <dr_willis> its also possible the HD is failing oospill
[06:50] <oospill> uhm
[06:50] <oospill> I'm very certain!!
[06:50] <oospill> sheeit
[06:50] <jillking> hello
[06:51] <jhansonxi> jillking: If you have a question then just ask it
[06:51] <oospill> alright... let's try a different tack
[06:51] <oospill> ..
[06:51] <oospill> if I can get some blank disks.  is there a way I can backup the current winxp with linux?
[06:52] <rhizmoe> usr13: part<tab> -> `partial/` for symlinks that point to directories
[06:52] <tion> i rm xorg.conf
[06:52] <magn3ts> the one you just got done resizing? hah
[06:52] <oospill> I can put it back.

[06:53] <oospill> it's taunting me.

[06:56] <oospill> okay
[06:56] <tion> should i select separate x screen requires restart option?
[06:56] <oospill> so I get some black discs.  what live distros should I get?  something with disk utilities
[06:56] <jhansonxi> oospill: Might be better off replacing the drive first if it has bad sectors.  Also, what video card is the 4100 using?  Why 10.04 and not 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)?
[06:57] <jhansonxi> oospill: Parted Magic is a good utility LiveCD.
[06:57] <Ben64> tion: sure
[06:57] <dr_willis> oospill: theres dozens of handy rescue live cds and partioning live cds out there.
[06:57] <dr_willis> 'system rescue cd' and 'gparted live cd' and  similer ones
[06:58] <oospill> this 4100 is over ten years old.  64 megs of the 512 ram. I had good luck with 10.04 on a similar machine. next? jk
[06:58] <oospill> not my puter.  not with my money
[06:58] <oospill> heh
[06:58] <oospill> my mom's got a similar dell and I put 10.04 on it and it runs real nice.
[06:59] <oospill> the gui in 12 takes up too much resources
[06:59] <oospill> 12.04 that is
[06:59] <Ben64> you can change that
[06:59] <Ben64> 10.04 is only supported for a couple more months
[06:59] <tion> im doing 173-updates
[06:59] <tion> will it help?
[06:59] <dr_willis> 12.10 lubuntu - is very nice
[06:59] <oospill> really?  what does the L stand for?
[06:59] <Ben64> lxde
[06:59] <dr_willis> lxde
[06:59] <tion> Lame
[07:00] <jhansonxi> oospill: Normally I use Xfce on something that old.  It uses less memory and still has a good number of features.
[07:01] <oospill> hmm. maybe I'll try it.
[07:01] <tion> can i upgrade to ubuntu-studio from this ?
[07:02] <tion> mount the iso and do the upgrade?
[07:02] <jhansonxi> oospill: Xubuntu or Linux Mint Xfce edition.  You could add Xfce (xubuntu-desktop package) to Ubuntu but you'll end up with a whole bunchy of programs with redundant purposes.
[07:02] <tion> ubuntu-studio uses Xface
[07:03] <savio> hi all
[07:04] <oospill> welp.  I think I'm gonna buy some cd-r's try out a couple rescue distros.
[07:04] <oospill> maybe get a can of air.
[07:04] <oospill> I bet this puter has years of cat inside of it.
[07:04] <oospill> and poo

[07:10] <tion> ubuntu ruined it
[07:10] <Ben64> tion: pretty sure that was you
[07:11] <tion> no
[07:11] <tion> it worked in debian
[07:11] <Ben64> then go back to debian
[07:11] <tion> back?
[07:11] <thec4ke> search for a newer nvidia driver?
[07:12] <thec4ke> i'd just uninstall the one from the repos and use the latest binary installed
[07:12] <thec4ke> installer*
[07:12] <Ben64> thec4ke: thats a bad idea
[07:12] <thec4ke> whys that
[07:12] <tion> im going to have to install the current driver that will fail and revert to unity2d
[07:12] <thec4ke> its working fine here
[07:12] <Ben64> you don't have a fx5200
[07:12] <Ben64> also, installing from the site isn't supported here
[07:13] <thec4ke> oic
[07:13] <thec4ke> he needs the legacy drivers
[07:13] <Ben64> tion: or you could have done what i said like 20 times
[07:13] <thec4ke> i know debian has them in their repos, cant remember if nvidia has them
[07:13] <tion> i need is a file to setup EIDI for the monitor
[07:13] <Ben64> tion: no you need to stop messing around
[07:14] <tion> i used to edit the xorg.cong file and everything was good afterwards
[07:15] <Ben64> then go ahead and do that, i'm done with you
[07:15] <tion> why do they come up with this automated crap with out fallback modes
[07:16] <tion> why 640x420 only?
[07:16] <tion> 640x480
[07:16] <Ben64> because you can't listen

[07:18] <biopyte> hi, since there is a new version of oracle java (7.11), when will there probably be the update of the installer for ubuntu (oracle-java7-installer)? is it a matter of hours or rather of days?
[07:19] <tion> maybe randr and nvidia devs should read that page
[07:19] <rigo> hi
[07:20] <mladoux> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html @tion you can get java 8 if you really want it.
[07:20] <tion> why?
[07:20] <mladoux> sorry, wrong person tion
[07:20] <mladoux> lol
[07:20] <rigo> sometimes if i turn on the htpc the wlan card is not recognised. as the tvcard either. why is that? (it happens randomly and a reboot helps.)
[07:20] <mladoux> meant that for biopyte
[07:20] <biopyte> mladoux, ok, thx
[07:21] <mladoux> biopyte, you're welcome
[07:21] <tion> idiots
[07:21] <mladoux> tion - what's wrong?
[07:21] <rigo> ...and it always worked just fine under w7
[07:21] <tion> you know
[07:21] <mladoux> I know a lot of things.
[07:22] <tion> mladoux, you know whats wrong
[07:22] <Ben64> tion: don't post that kind of stuff here, this channel is for support only
[07:22] <mladoux> not really, I've not been paying attention.
[07:22] <biopyte> mladoux, however, i'm looking for 7.11 and not 8
[07:22] <mladoux> biopyte, one second please
[07:24] <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.
[07:25] <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
[07:26] <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] <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/
[07:27] <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?
[07:28] <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
[07:29] <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
[07:30] <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] <bazhang> savio, its lspci
[07:30] <vrtigo_indx> Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8192E/RTL8192SE Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[07:30] <mladoux> bazhang, sometimes it's lsusb, it really depends on how it's hooked up in his machine.
[07:31] <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] <vrtigo_indx> thanks so much
[07:31] <mladoux> did i say pspci? typo, lol
[07:31] <bazhang> no savio did mladoux
[07:32] <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
[07:33] <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

[07:36] <bazhang> vrtigo_indx, try the backports modules
[07:36] <mladoux> bazhang thanks for the input. I'm also checking for a possible conflict
[07:37] <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

[07:38] <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.

[07:39] <mladoux> one sec

[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
[07:40] <mladoux> in one moment, I'll be done checking the package you want
[07:40] <vrtigo_indx> still giving me permission denied

[07:41] <savio> vrtigo_indx, use sudo -i enter your password
[07:41] <mladoux> I'm not finding the package for the other driver
[07:41] <mladoux> lemme try something
[07:41] <vrtigo_indx> Flannel, that worked

[07:47] <mladoux> I was being hopeful
[07:47] <rigo> is it maybe a port forwarding or routing issue?
[07:48] <vrtigo_indx> It is very weird. The wifi worked fine on Windows, must be a driver issue.

[07:54] <vrtigo_indx> Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-cw
[07:55] <vrtigo_indx> would I need a specific repository for that?
[07:55] <mladoux> did you remember the backticks?
[07:55] <mladoux> sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-`uname -r`
[07:55] <dr_willis> WeThePeople:  the .history file
[07:55] <mladoux> like so
[07:55] <vrtigo_indx> yeah, that's what I used
[07:55] <vrtigo_indx> >>$ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw- `uname -r`
[07:56] <mladoux> because `uname-r` should print something like 3.5.0-21-generic
[07:56] <mladoux> no space
[07:56] <mladoux> the space messes it up
[07:56] <vrtigo_indx> that didn't work either..
[07:56] <mladoux> ah, okay
[07:56] <vrtigo_indx> the first time it noted the packages
[07:56] <vrtigo_indx> but couldn't find them
[07:56] <vrtigo_indx> this time it didn't do anything
[07:56] <mladoux> eesh, what version of ubuntu are you running again?
[07:57] <vrtigo_indx> 12.04
[07:57] <vrtigo_indx> fresh install this afternoon
[07:57] <amagee> hey, i'm trying to set up dual monitors using the open source ati drivers and xrandr, but when i run `xrandr -q` i don't get two outputs, instead i get this http://dpaste.com/876314/ .. currently the two monitors are both working but are clones
[07:58] <mladoux> I'm thinking
[07:58] <bazhang> vrtigo_indx, do you have the backports repo enabled?
[07:58] <vrtigo_indx> I'm not too sure...
[07:58] <vrtigo_indx> how could I check?
[07:59] <bazhang> vrtigo_indx, once it's enabled (check in software sources <system settings> or synaptic) the be sure to update sources
[08:00] <mladoux> 32 bit or 64-bit
[08:01] <mladoux> vrtigo_indx, it's in your /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:01] <vrtigo_indx> 64-bit
[08:01] <dr_willis> !backports
[08:01] <vrtigo_indx> what is the repo for backports?
[08:02] <vrtigo_indx> I only have Canonical, google, and dropbox
[08:03] <dagerik> can anyone with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS give me output of md5sum $(which ls) ?
[08:03] <mladoux> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[08:03] <mladoux> that's the repo
[08:04] <helmut_> hi
[08:04] <vrtigo_indx> and I can enter that in the APT line to add source?
[08:05] <mladoux> yeah
[08:06] <mladoux> don't forget to apt-get update after
[08:07] <vrtigo_indx> updated, but still getting the same cannot find package warning..
[08:07] <vrtigo_indx> this is so weird
[08:07] <mladoux> eh
[08:08] <ForgeAus> can ipad run unbuntu in a virtual machine or something?
[08:08] <cfhowlett> ForgeAus, never been done.
[08:08] <mladoux> vrtigo_indx, I'm not sure what the issue is.
[08:08] <amagee> also the "displays" applet thingy only finds one monitor, doesn't do anything when i say "detect displays"
[08:08] <BullShark> i smoked some ubuntu. i was feeling so good.
[08:08] <cfhowlett> ForgeAus, if you need a pad, why not the nexus 7/android
[08:08] <ForgeAus> cfhowlett, sad,
[08:08] <ForgeAus> I got an ipad already, was just wondering what I can do with it that its not supposed to be able to :)
[08:08] <vrtigo_indx> yeah me neither
[08:09] <vrtigo_indx> thanks so much for you help
[08:09] <vrtigo_indx> I'll have to get at it again tomorrow
[08:09] <cfhowlett> ForgeAus, fwiw: a team is working on full ubuntu install on the nexus 7
[08:09] <BullShark> ForgeAus -> iAssMacker, version 13.04 on my ubuntu device
[08:09] <ForgeAus> yeah well android is quasi-linux based already, so its like running linux on linux
[08:09] <mladoux> I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
[08:09] <mladoux> good luck
[08:10] <vrtigo_indx> you were a lot of help! thanks!
[08:10] <ForgeAus> uses a different thing than glibc or whatever though, some bionic or something instead, if I remembered what I was chatting to some people about
[08:12] <BONG_IT> i have a problem mounting files
[08:13] <BullShark> ForgeAus -> i stuck my ass into the tower, burned on heat sync, installed ubuntu 12.04 to my asshole and was told it's Long Term Support to 2017
[08:13] <krz> this channel is full of issues
[08:13] <krz> ubelievable
[08:13] <BONG_IT> heres my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530300/
[08:13] <krz> osx really did kill linux
[08:13] <BullShark> krz -> you are using an unsported version of Ubuntu
[08:13] <bazhang> BullShark, lose the language and stay on topic
[08:14] <cfhowlett> !ot|krz
[08:14] <jayant> and how do you think osx killed linux?
[08:14] <ForgeAus> I thought osx was supposed to be a unix not a linux
[08:14] <krz> BullShark: no, ubuntu is still a pain to use
[08:14] <krz> jayant: because osx fuckin works
[08:14] <bazhang> krz, actual support issue? or just complaints
[08:14] <cfhowlett> !language
[08:15] <krz> whoops disregard my frenh
[08:15] <krz> 
[08:15] <bazhang> krz, this is Not the rants channel.
[08:15] <krz> french*
[08:15] <BullShark> GTFO unsported version youbuntooo
[08:15] <krz> bazhang: where is the rants channel?
[08:16] <bazhang> krz, there is none.
[08:16] <rigo> what could i do with my not always detected pci cards?
[08:16] <jayant> curious about the Ubuntu Phone OS... when will it be up for commercial use?
[08:16] <sushubin> come back to the problem solving
[08:16] <cfhowlett> !phone|jayant
[08:16] <bazhang> jayant, #ubuntu-phone may help
[08:17] <evilthought> I have 2 TB USB drive formated as EXT4. It's connected the router directly (RT-N56U). What do I need do do so that anyone (windows, iphone, tablets) can create and  delete files? Write now I get permission denied
[08:17] <jayant> thank you!
[08:17] <bazhang> rigo, in 13.04?
[08:18] <krz> good read for the curious: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/08/osx-killed-linux/
[08:18] <thec4ke> funny they never asked me
[08:19] <thec4ke> cause im the type that would buy a macbook to install linux over it
[08:19] <IdleOne> krz: This channel is for ubuntu support, not general Ubuntu/Linux discussion. you might want to try #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:20] <evilthought> I have 2 TB USB drive formated as EXT4. It's connected to the router directly (RT-N56U). What do I need do do so that anyone (windows, iphone, tablets) can create and  delete files? I am having permission issues ... should I format it as EXT2?
[08:20] <krz> IdleOne: its all complaints in there :-P
[08:20] <krz> am not surprised
[08:21] <IdleOne> evilthought: NTFS would be supported by those other OSes
[08:21] <IdleOne> evilthought: Windows Can't write to etx4
[08:22] <rigo> no no. 12.10
[08:22] <rigo> x64
[08:22] <evilthought> I was having issue with NTFS with this router (corrupted lpost files every few months). RT-N56u is after all linux based
[08:22] <rigo> here is a small desc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12454306#post12454306
[08:24] <iceroot> evilthought: and how is it related to ubuntu?
[08:24] <rigo> the wlan card  was just fine under w7
[08:24] <evilthought> The question is how do I set the permission so that everyone on the network can delete files? Right now I can only read files via the network
[08:24] <alimj> evilthought: I would recommend to try DD-WRT channels
[08:24] <cfhowlett> evilthought, or maybe in #ubuntu-server??
[08:24] <thec4ke> are you using samba?
[08:25] <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] <cfhowlett> evilthought, or you might make that particular partition windows friendly, i.e. NTFS ...
[08:26] <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
[08:27] <IdleOne> also what iceroot is saying, it isn't an Ubuntu issue
[08:27] <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] <evilthought> can't
[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?
[08:28] <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
[08:29] <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] <thec4ke> evilthought: are you connecting anonymously or do you have username/password setup on the router?
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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] <evilthought> Here is the screen shot of the drive http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8465/8380037514_f297ef7884_b.jpg
[08:36] <thec4ke> np :)
[08:37] <evilthought> I have Others set as to "create and delete files" but it still doesn't work
[08:38] <miroesq> I want to install snmp and snmpd, but they are not stand alone. Which package can I install that would have those two components.
[08:40] <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 ?
[08:41] <thec4ke> hilarious: is this over the internet or on a lan?
[08:41] <hilarious> rackspace cloud
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <hilarious> i would assume then it also shows up in server connection logs etc
[08:43] <hilarious> when i connect to other sites
[08:44] <thec4ke> so you want sites on the internet to see your hostname?
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <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 ?
[08:47] <thec4ke> your actual hostname has nothing to do with mail server configuration
[08:47] <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
[08:48] <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
[08:49] <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)
[08:50] <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
[08:51] <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
[08:53] <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] <thec4ke> and im no longer confused
[08:53] <Annihilator> Hey guys. I use MessageBox(NULL, "Title", "Text", NULL); in windows. What is alternative for Ubuntu system ?
[08:54] <Annihilator> i'm new to Linux coding.
[08:55] <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] <Annihilator> C++
[08:56] <thec4ke> Annihilator: are you wanting to write programs for gnome/unity?
[08:56] <pensivekite_> join #truecript
[08:56] <rigo> here are the 2 dmesg-s first boot at 07:16 2nd at 09:38 first boot wlan0 not present, 2nd works fine.
[08:56] <rigo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530351
[08:56] <Annihilator> Hmmm... I use SDL with OpenGL.
[08:57] <Thor> Annihilator: create your own message box in SDL/OpenGL, or use eg. glib
[08:58] <Annihilator> So there is no asy alterbnative like including <windows.h> and just calling messagebox
[08:58] <Ruby> hey
[08:58] <Thor> Annihilator: I don't know, it highly depends on the gui framework you use, eg. with kwin it's not too far from that simple.
[08:59] <god> can someone please help me?
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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
[09:04] <Ruby> metadata gets stroed in places when I dont want it to
[09:04] <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
[09:05] <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
[09:06] <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?
[09:07] <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 ?
[09:08] <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
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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 ...
[09:12] <god> how can stream but pick a player that works?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> god, yep.
[09:13] <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 ...
[09:14] <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] <cfhowlett> god,  right
[09:15] <cfhowlett> god, xine definitely has streaming capability.  check the support site for details on set up.
[09:15] <god> do you have any recommendations for sites that stream television?
[09:16] <cfhowlett> god, Vodo has TONS of free stuff.  and better; you can torrent it!
[09:16] <hkn1> Hellooooo
[09:16] <cfhowlett> hkn1, greetings

[09:16] <god> thanks a bunch!
[09:16] <cfhowlett> god, also see mininova
[09:16] <hkn1> Is it possible to install a .dmg file on Ubuntu ????
[09:18] <dr_willis> hkn1:  you normally cant run mac/os-x binaries on linux
[09:19] <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 ? :(
[09:20] <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
[09:21] <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.
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <hkn1> Hmm ok
[09:24] <hkn1> And have another problem, i can't download Wine. Tried almost anything on google but didnt work at all
[09:24] <cfhowlett> hkn1, now THAT makes no sense.  sudo apt-get install wine
[09:24] <untaken> I use xmonad via .xsession. I have just done a fresh install on Ubtuntu, but xinerama doesn't look like its enabled in gdm, or when I login to xmonad. It works in unity though. Any ideas?
[09:24] <hkn1> when i do that i get error
[09:25] <thec4ke> sudo apt-get update?
[09:25] <cfhowlett> hkn1, the error is? ...
[09:25] <rigo> i'm back :)
[09:25] <hkn1> cfhowlet i'll give it in a minute done sudo apt-get install wine again. To see my error
[09:26] <rigo> the wlan card is not always recognised at the boot. here are 2 dmesg-s one after another http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530351
[09:26] <rigo> first boot at 07:16 second at 09:36
[09:26] <Error404NotFound> I am trying to install 12.10 on alienware m17xr3 but it hangs during boot from install usb. I have tried setting noquiet nomodeset nosplash on start but all in vain. The last line i see is "Stopping save kernel messages"
[09:27] <cfhowlett> Error404NotFound, i trust you verified integrity, i.e. md5sum?
[09:27] <rigo> first boot: no wlan0; second: works like charm.
[09:28] <rabbit_> hi i have a problem with my ubuntu 1204

[09:29] <Error404NotFound> cfhowlett: yup, indeed i did.
[09:29] <cfhowlett> Error404NotFound, I've seen this before.   I suggest you try a different USB stick.  they DO malfunction ...
[09:30] <rohitkav> I wanted to install haskell with snap framework
[09:30] <rohitkav> could anyone guide me plz
[09:30] <rohitkav> since when I tried with my another laptop I couldn't install cabal
[09:30] <hkn1> Lol sudo apt-get install wine does something what it didnt done it before... Never took so long :o
[09:30] <rohitkav> got some issue
[09:30] <Error404NotFound> cfhowlett: and say if i don't have a spare usb then :'(
[09:31]  * cfhowlett eyes well up with tears for Error404NotFound, 
[09:31] <Error404NotFound> cfhowlett: hmm, may be i will use this machine as PXE boot...
[09:31] <rigo> any idea?
[09:31] <cfhowlett> Error404NotFound, that's the easiest fix for this I know.  Please ask in this channel.  Maybe someone else has a solution ...
[09:32] <cfhowlett> Error404NotFound, I've never used PXE but ...
[09:33] <subdesign> guys planning to buy a notebook Core i3, Intel HD 4000, is it smooth for Ubuntu?
[09:34] <rabbit_> anyone can help me ?
[09:34] <untaken> Does anyone have an idea? how I can get xinerama working on other window managers other than unity?
[09:34] <cfhowlett> subdesign, graphics card?
[09:34] <prih> !list
[09:34] <rabbit_> at least how can i turn unity off
[09:34] <cfhowlett> !nounity|rabbit_,
[09:34] <subdesign> cfhowlett, Intel HD 4000 integrated
[09:35] <cfhowlett> subdesign, I'd guess yet, but HEY!  make a USB, go to the computer store, distract the sales staff and reboot into your model machine!
[09:36] <hkn1> Lol, wine installed ! :/
[09:37] <cfhowlett> hkn1, and that's how it's done ...
[09:37] <hkn1> Lol i tried it 10 times
[09:37] <rabbit_> 200mb
[09:37] <Name141> what's LVM and how do I know if i want it?
[09:37] <subdesign> cfhowlett, it'll be an online order.. but thanks :)
[09:37] <rabbit_> i want to be able to see the programs in unity dashhome
[09:37] <cfhowlett> subdesign, alright then.  Best of luck
[09:38] <dv-> untaken: what's the problem?
[09:38] <untaken> dv-: I use xmonad via .xsession. I have just done a fresh install on Ubtuntu, but xinerama doesn't look like its enabled in gdm, or when I login to xmonad. It works in unity though. Any ideas?
[09:38] <prih> ciao
[09:39] <vlt> Hello. I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. After the last Thunderbird update my home dir exploded. ~/.thunderbird has grown to about 10 GB while the maildir size on the server is only 2 GB. Any idea how to fix this?
[09:40] <dv-> untaken: how are you checking if it's enabled?
[09:41] <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?
[09:42] <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] <gfixler> python
[09:42] <untaken> I don't have xfce installed, but its definitely a xinerama issue, as gdm should be showing it correctly
[09:42] <untaken> dv-: they are cloned yes
[09:43] <Sri19> how do i install multiple versions on firefox on ubuntu? any ppas / repos to use?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Sri19
[09:43] <dv-> untaken: well you can fix that by calling xrandr after xmonad, but i'm not sure where you'd put it to change the gdm login
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Sri19: great ppa search there, duckduckgo also has the !ppa bang :)
[09:45] <untaken> dv-: ok, I'll setup a xrandr line in .xsession or something... shame I can't get this to work then way I intended, but hey, if its an option, its an option
[09:46] <dv-> untaken: it does seem odd that logging out of unity would affect gdm like that
[09:46] <hkn1> cfhowlett thanks it works now haha :P
[09:47] <untaken> it does...Do you know if the displays section in the cp writes to a file or something? I noticed there is no longer a xorg.conf file
[09:48] <Marscr> hola alguien me puede ayudar?
[09:49] <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
[09:50] <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?
[09:51] <Gematransgender> hello everyone
[09:51] <untaken> dv-: I'll boot into single mode and do that then
[09:51] <untaken> dv- thanks
[09:52] <jzmer__> is i just installed a .ttc font and fontconfig automatically select the medium family instead of the regular family of the font to be default, what should i do to make the regular style default instead of medium?
[09:55] <dolf> hey everyone. I want to change the password for another user using the gui (not the commandline since the passwd command causes ecryptfs password to get out of sync)
[09:56] <dolf> but how can i do this in unity/ubuntu
[09:56] <hkn1> Is there something like ClearType for Ubuntu XD ?
[09:56] <dr_willis> X font rendering has hinting and other smoothing features.
[09:56] <Marscr> hola alguien me puede ayudar con ubuntu 12.10?
[09:57] <dr_willis> or at least they can. ;)
[09:57] <dolf> if I go to "users and groups" I see all users (and I am an admin) but nothing happens when I click the "change" button for the users' password
[09:57] <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.
[09:57] <billfeld> Sri19: I think you can use mozillateam ppa: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable and then install something like firefox-3.6 firefox-3.0 etc., but not 100% sure. Test it...
[09:57] <Error404NotFound> Tried same usb with gparted and that boots fine. On the other hand xubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu and linuxmint all get stuck on "Stopping save kernel messages" on bootup during install.
[09:59] <miroesq> Is snmp it's own package or is it part of a package?
[10:10] <hkn1> Is there something like ClearType for Ubuntu XD ?
[10:16] <subdesign> recommended app to burn mac .dmg image?
[10:23] <RussellAlan> What is the easiest way to apply a kernel patch?
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> !patch | RussellAlan
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> hkn1: what is clear type?
[10:24] <billfeld> Smooth render fonts...
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> hkn1: you can change the font hinting in ubuntu tweak
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> billfeld: thanks
[10:26] <arabi> hello .. i need to monitor my internet usage on monthly basis on  ubuntu 12.10 .... can you sugggest any apps??
[10:28] <ikonia> arabi: are you on a local network or just the internet
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <arabi> but it is insufficient ikonia
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <arabi> how can I determine how much data I used in this month?
[10:32] <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?
[10:33] <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] <ogist> Hello
[10:33] <ogist> I have a bit of a problem.
[10:34] <arabi> can you suggest any apps ikonia
[10:37] <rudivs> my locale doesn't seem to be taking effect. It's set to en_ZA.UTF-8, but measurements are in inches (should be metric) and currency is $ (should be R). Output of locale at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530516/. Any ideas how to fix it?
[10:38] <mvt007geek> hi

[10:40] <mvt007geek> i want to install internet download manager with wine.
[10:40] <mvt007geek> can someone tell me why it gave me this: wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\IDM.exe": Module not found
[10:41] <cfhowlett> mvt007geek, would it not be easier to just add the plugin to firefox?
[10:41] <mvt007geek> i use chrome
[10:43] <ogist> I have a game called quake 2 on my linux system. This game has a Players folder with several different models/skins that other people have online and if two people have the same model/skin, then they can see it. Well, I have been running into an issue of case sensitivity where one person will have Skin1/Skin1 set on their client and on mine, it will be Skin1/skin1 and the fact that my s is lower case makes their skin/model invisible to me
[10:45] <arabi> how to list network interfaces on ubuntu

[10:55] <JohnFlux_> Hey all
[10:56] <cfhowlett> JohnFlux_, greetings
[10:56] <JohnFlux_> is it possible to install a local .deb file, while getting dependencies remotely?
[10:56] <JohnFlux_> so like use apt-get to install a .deb file
[10:56] <cfhowlett> computer, brasero
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> JohnFlux_  it's dpkg -i blah.deb    not sure about remote dependencies, tho
[10:58] <yeats> JohnFlux_: no, but dpkg will let you know what's missing
[10:58] <hkn1> MonkeyDust, do you need first to go to the path to install the .deb ?
[10:58] <JohnFlux_> sometimes it seems possible to do:  dpkg -i file.deb ; apt-get install -f
[10:59] <JohnFlux_> but i'm not sure when that works exactly
[10:59] <MonkeyDust> hkn1  if it's local, then yes
[11:00] <meet> Can I have a pure gnome3 experience in ubuntu?

[11:27] <f2> monkey dust, not much happening on ubuntu-server
[11:27] <f2> can i ask a few q's here?
[11:27] <rileyp> I dont mind if it prints multiple pages of course
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> f2: ask away, you already asked one :)
[11:28] <f2> haha :)
[11:28] <f2> ok, take 2
[11:28] <f2> new to ubuntu server, On a windows domain, got a dhcp address, but im not getting out on the internet. can anybody help me with that?
[11:28] <f2> when running "sudo apt=get install mysql-server-core-5.5, i get unable to locate package
[11:29] <MrPop> What's the name of that application that installs proprietary drivers for you?
[11:29] <rileyp> edit etc/resolve and add nameserver (ip address of router)
[11:29] <f2> so im guessing im not allowed out/on the domain
[11:29] <rileyp> f2 thats the answer
[11:30] <mvt007geek> hi people
[11:30] <woc2k> hi
[11:30] <f2> ripley: im used to a windows enviroment, but would love to get a ubuntu server up and running
[11:30] <rileyp> f2 after you edit /etc/resolve  reboot
[11:30] <f2> so i was hoping to use my admin details to join the domain
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> f2: did you run:  sudo apt-get update     first?
[11:31] <rileyp> or edit default route in network manager to ip address of your router
[11:31] <cfhowlett> f2, no shortage of tutorials for that and probably more detailed info than you'll get in channel.
[11:31] <f2> nope, i will run that now and let you know
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: resolv.conf is generated, so rebooting will undo the change
[11:31] <rileyp> lol ok my bad
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: also, you don't need to reboot to apply the DNS change, its conulted each time :)
[11:31] <f2> just trying now, thanks for the suggestions guys
[11:32] <rileyp> ActionParsnip: can you help me with my libredraw issue
[11:32] <rileyp> or advise where i might get some help

[11:32] <f2> @ actionparsnip : i got a few downlaods, then got a bunch of failed downloads (403 failed forefront)
[11:32] <hugosthlm> Solved. Synaptic has more intelligent messages.
[11:33] <cfhowlett> rileyp, ask.libreoffice.org
[11:33] <f2> close, but no cigar (or something like that)
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> f2: are you using a proxy?
[11:33] <Diegosnat> guys im wondering how to solve this: authenticator ntlm_sasl_server: cannot find authenticator driver "cyrus_sasl"
[11:33] <f2> hmm, yes we are :/ sorry i should of said
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> f2: then you need to define the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[11:34] <f2> ok i will do that now, thanks alot action :) im saving these comands to notepad as i type lol
[11:36] <mvt007geek> i installed internet download manager with wine.but when i wanted to enable  advanced browser integration gave me error.what should i do?
[11:36] <rileyp> with libredraw I have made a drawing bigger than a4 and I cant seem to make the page size bigger I dont mind if it prints multiple pages of course any tips on how to increase the page size?
[11:37] <f2> is this the correct format
[11:37] <f2> Acquire::http::Proxy "http://bob:123bob@bobproxy:8070";
[11:37] <rileyp> cfhowlett:  thnaks will do
[11:37] <cfhowlett> rileyp, good luck
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> f2: try it :)
[11:39] <f2> i cant save :/

[11:41] <f2> aha, esc > wq
[11:41] <lewisou> ?
[11:42] <rileyp> cfhowlett: rileyp, ask.libreoffice.org
[11:42] <cfhowlett> rileyp, not irc, that's  a url ... firefox!
[11:42] <rileyp> yeah I know but was kinda hoping for a usber fast answer
[11:43] <rileyp> thanks anyway I may have to there
[11:43] <rileyp> go *
[11:43] <f2> @ actionparsnip: needs a username + password (403 proxy authentication requried)...i will try that now
[11:43] <f2> getting there :)
[11:43] <Diegosnat> guys im wondering how to solve this: authenticator ntlm_sasl_server: cannot find authenticator driver "cyrus_sasl"
[11:46] <BillyZane|2> hi
[11:46] <BillyZane|2> it's me again
[11:46] <BillyZane|2> i got a question.... I tried to update my video card drivers on gnome (GTX 660) and it was a huge failure, i had to remove them
[11:46] <f2> still not geting out correctly ActionParsnip :(
[11:47] <f2> is it because i having joined the domain?
[11:47] <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?
[11:47] <BillyZane|2> right now i'm on kubuntu and i opened up "additional drivers" utility. it found 3 different types of nvidia drivers for me to install. Now my fear is that if i try installing them, it will cause a system instability like last time. should this happen, how would i remove these drivers using  terminal?
[11:48] <f2> 407 proxy authentication required. (Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request)
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> Diegosnat: have you looked in exim4.conf ?
[11:48] <f2> would I edit the apt.conf file for a static ip? my spare ip should bypass the proxy all together
[11:48] <Diegosnat> yes
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Diegosnat: ntlm_sasl_server is defined there
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Diegosnat: is it correct?
[11:50] <BillyZane|2> if i could only get my drivers to work, i wouldn't need to go back to windows!!! this is so painful. new hardware and no support
[11:50] <Ch1LL3r>  i know that feel bro =/
[11:50] <Diegosnat> yes
[11:50] <Diegosnat> ActionParsnip, it is
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: what hardware?
[11:50] <Diegosnat> I need to use that
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> Diegosnat: is there an exim channel?
[11:50] <Diegosnat> but it seems not to find the library
[11:50] <BillyZane|2> MSI Geforce GTX 660
[11:51] <BillyZane|2> and creative sound blaster Z
[11:51] <Ch1LL3r> i own a lenovo ideapad and dont get 2 of my 3 usb connections to work lol
[11:51] <Diegosnat> ActionParsnip, what's that?
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: tried the xorg update PPA?
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> Diegosnat: /j #exim
[11:51] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: : i have not, what is that?
[11:51] <Diegosnat> ActionParsnip, =D
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: creative soundcards arent worth the headache
[11:52] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip:  i could return it, it's within the return period, but i would like to get it to work
[11:52] <BillyZane|2> on a matter of principal
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:53] <BillyZane|2> hmmm
[11:53] <BillyZane|2> i'm 4 days old to linux
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: does the motherboard have onboard sound?
[11:54] <BillyZane|2> my motherboard does, but i'm an audiophile
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: press CTRL+ALT+T  and run the command, what is output?
[11:54] <apm1> i just installed openbox
[11:54] <BillyZane|2> one second..
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: then did you disable the onboard sound card?
[11:54] <apm1> and saw the unity panel act weird
[11:54] <apm1> my suspision that openbox won't work wit compiz
[11:54] <apm1> is true then
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: creative stuff is only middle of the road you know, its not that spectacular. Most onboard stuff does what creative stuff does
[11:54] <DarsVaeda> anyone know a good tool to replace multiple lines in multiple files
[11:55] <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?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> apm1: compiz and openbox are both window managers. You can run one or the other
[11:55] <BillyZane|2> i typed in "cat /etc/issue" and i got Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l
[11:55] <WXZ> I just created a partition on a new disk, it's mounted, but I can't read/write to it
[11:55] <apm1> ActionParsnip, i purged openbox then
[11:55] <apm1> ActionParsnip, will things be as before? , they should be
[11:56] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: : is there a generic driver out there?
[11:56] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: : oh, the on board sound is disabled
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: if you enable the proposed repo, you can install the 310 driver
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> apm1: you can tell the OS to use compiz as you want
[11:57] <apm1> ActionParsnip, i don't get it
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: if you remove nvidia-current and install nvidia-graphics-drivers-experimental-310    then it may help
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> apm1: when you log in to the Gnome session, you will use compiz as expected
[11:58] <apm1> ActionParsnip, ok and ?
[11:58] <WXZ> I just created a partition on a new disk, it's mounted, but I can't read/write to it, what do?
[11:58] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: Nvidia current causes my computer to straight up CRASH
[11:58] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: well.. not crash, but the GUI crashes
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: have you tried generating an xorg.conf file?
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <apm1> i am not sure what is happening here
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <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
[12:04] <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?
[12:05] <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
[12:06] <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
[12:07] <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
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <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
[12:10] <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> SmokeyD: sure its an intel GPU?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> rileyp: transmission (default in ubuntu) also has web UI
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> SmokeyD: if you run:  lspci | grep -i vga    what is output?
[12:12] <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 :)
[12:13] <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) :)
[12:14] <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...
[12:15] <rileyp> I ll instal torrentfu on my android :D thanks

[12:17] <iceroot> abhijitest: apt-get source packagename
[12:17] <abhijitest> Thanks iceroot
[12:17] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip:  i'm in Kubuntu at the moment, do i still need to use the sudo nvidia-xconfig command to run the 310 experimental drivers?

[12:21] <amanjosan2008> how to install loopback adapter with proper privileges??? any help or link
[12:21] <BillyZane|2> i'm using kubuntu atm. it looks quite nice. i can't even tell the drivers arn't installed. but they are not, and i don't think i can get my video card to accelerate my GUI without them
[12:22] <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)?
[12:23] <rileyp>  BillyZane|2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html
[12:24] <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/
[12:25] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: : ok, i'll give that a try
[12:26] <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.
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <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
[12:31] <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.
[12:32] <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.
[12:33] <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).
[12:34] <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.
[12:38] <noiro> Is there a standalone X11 forwarding program I can use with Putty for Windows?
[12:39] <Ben64> Xming
[12:39] <noiro> Ben64: but don't you have to install it?
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <noiro> I could have sworn it means its dependency files cna be stored in a file and you can run it from them. :P
[12:41] <Ben64> the word you're looking for is "portable"
[12:41] <noiro> Gah, fine. But does one exist?
[12:42] <Ben64> http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/doc/tutorial/T19_3a_xmingputty.htm
[12:42] <Ben64> i haven't read any of that
[12:43] <BillyZane|2> ok
[12:43] <BillyZane|2> sigh
[12:43] <BillyZane|2> i followed the instructions on this page
[12:43] <BillyZane|2> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html
[12:43] <BillyZane|2> i wasn't able to complete them
[12:43] <FloodBot1> BillyZane|2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:44] <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
[12:45] <Ben64> BillyZane|2:  modprobe nvidia_current ?
[12:46] <BillyZane|2> yes
[12:46] <BillyZane|2> that's the one i tried
[12:46] <Ben64> ok... pastebin "lsmod"
[12:46] <BillyZane|2> and i did this on kubunutu
[12:46] <BillyZane|2> what's lsmod
[12:46] <BillyZane|2> shoudl i type that in terminal?
[12:46] <Ben64> yeah
[12:47] <BillyZane|2> one sec
[12:47] <Ben64> what video card btw
[12:47] <BillyZane|2> http://pastebin.com/mP5935ym

[12:48] <FloodBot1> BillyZane|2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:48] <Ben64> well theres your problem, no nvidia driver loaded
[12:48] <BillyZane|2> it could not find nvidia_current
[12:48] <BillyZane|2> what should i do?
[12:48] <Ben64> pastebin "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia"
[12:49] <BillyZane|2> ij
[12:49] <BillyZane|2> ok
[12:49] <BillyZane|2> oh, using the | grep nvidia command, i got nothing
[12:49] <Ben64> i haven't been following your stuff tonight, so not sure what you've done or not
[12:49] <Ben64> its all one command
[12:49] <Ben64> dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia
[12:50] <BillyZane|2> one sec
[12:50] <BillyZane|2> http://pastebin.com/GVKVqPDN
[12:51] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: does the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" exist?
[12:51] <BillyZane|2> i can do a file search
[12:52] <hamnamnom> i am on 12.04 and my php is "PHP 5.3.10" i need my php to be php 5.4 what is the best way to update my php on this box?
[12:52] <BillyZane|2> well, evidently i don't know how to do a file search
[12:52] <hamnamnom> i use php with apache
[12:53] <hamnamnom> and cli
[12:53] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: from the command line you can just do "ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[12:53] <BillyZane|2> file does not exist
[12:53] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: what happens if you do "modprobe nvidia"
[12:54] <Ben64> err... sudo modprobe nvidia
[12:54] <BillyZane|2> file not found
[12:54] <hamnamnom> anyone? updating from php 5.3 to 5.4 on 12.04?
[12:54] <BillyZane|2> same result
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: I suggest you run:  sudo dpkg -P nvidia-experimental-310
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | hamnamnom
[12:54] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: weird... you have it installed but its not installed
[12:55] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: -P?
[12:55] <hamnamnom> ActionParsnip: thanks, will try now
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Ben64: purge, there are residual configs for the package
[12:55] <Ben64> oh
[12:56] <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
[12:57] <BillyZane|2> ok
[12:57] <BillyZane|2> i'll do that now
[12:57] <Ben64> are you going to be running steam games and other cool 3d stuff?
[12:57] <BillyZane|2> the purge is processing
[12:57] <BillyZane|2> done
[12:58] <Ben64> wait a sec, you're on a laptop?
[12:58] <BillyZane|2> k...
[12:58] <BillyZane|2> i'm on a desktop
[12:58] <Ben64> hmm
[12:58] <BillyZane|2> i'm using kubuntu atm though
[12:58] <Ben64> pastebin "lspci | grep -i vga"
[12:58] <Ben64> looks kinda like you might have two video cards
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display    is there an intel GPU too?
[12:59] <BillyZane|2> http://pastebin.com/GVKVqPDN01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 11c0 (rev a1)
[12:59] <BillyZane|2> ignore the pastebin
[12:59] <BillyZane|2> it starts at 01:00
[12:59] <Ben64> just that one line?
[12:59] <BillyZane|2> yup
[13:00] <Ben64> cause from your lsmod pastebin, it looks like you have an intel card too
[13:00] <BillyZane|2> oh yeah, i have on board video
[13:00] <BillyZane|2> it's enabled atm
[13:00] <BillyZane|2> i think that might cause some issues
[13:01] <BillyZane|2> problem is, i use my onboard and my discrete in windows, a la MVP
[13:01] <BillyZane|2> i don't mind disabling my onboard video, i think i might have to
[13:01] <Ben64> yeah might work better
[13:01] <BillyZane|2> should i do that now?
[13:02] <BillyZane|2> before i restart, is there any commands i should use to clean up the mess i made?
[13:02] <BillyZane|2> or was the dpkg -P command sufficient
[13:02] <Ben64> i'm just wondering where your nvidia driver is
[13:03] <BillyZane|2> worse case scenario, i reinstall linux. but i'd like to avoid that
[13:03] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: could you paste  "ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms"
[13:03] <BillyZane|2> sure
[13:03] <Ben64> oh no, its not reinstall bad
[13:04] <BillyZane|2> ls: cannot access /lib/modules/uname -r/updates/dkms: No such file or directory
[13:04] <BillyZane|2> i type this in...
[13:04] <Ben64> you have to keep the things around uname -r
[13:04] <BillyZane|2> riz@NightViper:~$ ls /lib/modules/'uname -r'/updates/dkms
[13:05] <Ben64> not single quotes, its the backtick

[13:05] <BillyZane|2> hmmmm
[13:05] <uragano2> Hello, i am using ubuntu 12.04.1 often via ssh. Few days ago i noticed that on logon it doesn't show anymore last login details. Searching i discover the command "last", but it says that there is no log file.
[13:05] <Ben64> left of the 1 key :)
[13:05] <BillyZane|2> oh, i should inform you, everything i did, i did from this guide... http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html
[13:06] <BillyZane|2> however, i did not use the backtick while doing it
[13:06] <BillyZane|2> i used single quote
[13:06] <BillyZane|2> ls: cannot access /lib/modules/3.5.0-21-generic/updates/dkms: No such file or directory
[13:06] <Ben64> strange
[13:07] <BillyZane|2> perhaps that is because i removed it?
[13:07] <Ben64> no
[13:07] <Ben64> you still have nvidia-current on there
[13:07] <AminosAmigos> Trying to mirror a website for Offline browsing Using the command
[13:07] <AminosAmigos> wget -mk http://www.website.com/subdirneeded/
[13:07] <AminosAmigos> Forgot --no-aprent param (paused the execution) ended up with a lot of files=> is there a way to perform the convert operation on them without downloading everything again ?
[13:07] <FloodBot1> AminosAmigos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:07] <uragano2> ...so i created it and after this it worked fine, but after the reboot the file has been deleted....i don'tunderstand because, do u have an explanation?? Thanks
[13:07] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: how about before you restart, try  sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source linux-headers linux-headers-`uname -r`
[13:08] <BillyZane|2> ok
[13:08] <dufa> uragano2: have you checked if the log files exist
[13:08] <AminosAmigos> I have all needed files they are just not linked to each other
[13:08] <BillyZane|2> it asks me to explicitly select one to install
[13:09] <uragano2> dufa: i checked if file /var/log/wtmp exists, but it doesn't
[13:09] <Ben64> which one?
[13:09] <BillyZane|2> it says 'linux-headers' has no installation candidate
[13:10] <dufa> uragano2: right, I believe /var/log/wtmp is only logged if it exists
[13:11] <uragano2> dufa: and apache log file is deleted everytimes after reboot too. I created wtmp before to reboot
[13:11] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: ok, need to "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic"
[13:12] <BillyZane|2> installing
[13:12] <BillyZane|2> by the way, than you for the help :)
[13:12] <Ben64> np
[13:12] <BillyZane|2> err.. thank
[13:12] <dufa> uragano2: are you having porblems with other log files as well?
[13:12] <Ben64> but i need to go to sleep in like 5 mins
[13:13] <BillyZane|2> ok, it's done
[13:13] <uragano2> dufa: i suspected a rootkit, but chkrootkit and rkhunter don't see anything of strange
[13:13] <hamnamnom> ActionParsnip: after adding ppa url i need to: "sudo apt-get update" and then:  "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? i use this ppa "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5"
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> hamnamnom: sounds good
[13:14] <PapaSierra_> hi, i'm new to ubuntu so i don't fully understand how ppa's work. i need to install a recent version of npm. i believe the ubuntu 12.04 version is too old. so i was pointed in the direction of this: https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/ but i'm not sure how to use it
[13:14] <BillyZane|2> Ben64: what should i do now?
[13:14] <BlackPanx> http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_at_2013-01-14_14_11_58-lwAMZBVV.1358169156.png can someone look into this... i have 3ware controller for raid, and port 1 last time failed and when i dismounted it, it automatically picked it back and started rebuilding raid, but set port 0 to unknown state... anyone has idea what to do ? i have taken backup of stuff in case something happens... anyone had this problem so far ?
[13:15] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: ok, then i'd purge all the nvidia packages and then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-experimental-310 nvidia-experimental-310-dev nvidia-settings-experimental-310"
[13:15] <uragano2> dufa: but i don'e understand why i lost my log files everytimes :(
[13:15] <PapaSierra_> following my original post above, this is an example of how i'm using Chef to add the dotdeb ppa: http://www.hastebin.com/raw/vecayudima
[13:15] <BillyZane|2> how do i purge the nvidia packages?
[13:15] <dufa> uragano2: so, have you tried creating apache log and wtmp log files, and when you reboot they're gone?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms
[13:16] <BillyZane|2> is it dpkg -P nvidia-experimental-
[13:16] <BillyZane|2> is it dpkg -P nvidia-experimental-310
[13:16] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: yeah, dpkg -P <package name>,
[13:16] <Ben64> without that last comma
[13:16] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: what does that do
[13:16] <BillyZane|2> it says that nvidia-experimental-310 was not installed
[13:17] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: ok
[13:17] <uragano2> dufa: yes
[13:17] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: done
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: did the nvidia driver get built?
[13:18] <BillyZane|2> i have no idea
[13:18] <dufa> uragano2: strange
[13:18] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: how would i know?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: read the screen]
[13:19] <andygraybeal> i'm wondering is the openjdk vulnerable like oracle java?  or has that been patched a long time ago?
[13:19] <BillyZane|2> i don't think it did
[13:19] <BillyZane|2> how about this...
[13:19] <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??
[13:20] <Ben64> tor_: you should install nvidia from apt-get, not from nvidia's site
[13:20] <tor_> ok
[13:20] <BillyZane|2> FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/3.5.0-21-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko): Operation not permitted
[13:20] <Ben64> cool, it built the driver
[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?
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> errr.. on board video
[13:21] <Ben64> i think it'll work with it enabled now
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> really
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> restart?
[13:21] <Ben64> yeah and you should have 3d graphics
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> now if i only know what i just did
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> lol
[13:21] <mint_> maybe even 4d
[13:21] <BillyZane|2> can i be explain this when i get back? brb
[13:22] <BillyZane|2> for my knowledge
[13:22] <BillyZane|2> and so i know how to do this in the future
[13:22] <BillyZane|2> brb
[13:23] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:23] <orbital_fox> does anyone use ubuntu one music store to download AAC files? how do you change the settings to that when they are available?
[13:24] <dufa> uragano2: so, what is the machine used for, is it a web server?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> If you are worried about the java exploits, there is a PPA for Oracle Java 8r11 on webupd8
[13:24] <BillyZane|2> i'm back, and i think this is a good sign, but the monitor's center of position is way off to the right
[13:25] <crazydip> Newest skype is not showing the "answer call" popup when someone calls in gnome-shell. I cannot answer or hangup. How do I fix this?
[13:25] <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] <BillyZane|2> i think all i gotta do is adjust the screen position and the resolution
[13:26] <Ben64> BillyZane|2: you should be able to use nvidia-settings for that
[13:27] <_DADDY> can i get ubuntu w/out unity i want gnome back
[13:27] <uragano2> dufa: it's used to test web application, not for public sites, but the server is public and detectable by a scan. Running servers are: apache2, tomcat, mysql, svn, samba and transmission
[13:27] <Ben64> !nounity
[13:27] <ni291187> this is billyzane, I did something really stupid
[13:28] <vith> i'm looking for a way to have a ramfs device that's backed by a persistent store. i have an idea about modifying an init script to load/save when the related service starts and stops, and using a cronjob to periodically back it up, but i'd rather not reinvent the wheel if i don't have to. is there any preexisting solution that would do that?
[13:28] <ni291187> o,g I did something stupid
[13:28] <crazydip> Skype "answer call" popup does not show up when using multimonitor. How can I fix this?
[13:28] <_DADDY> hows gnome 3 these days?
[13:28] <ni291187> I went in t display settings and I tried to reset the video resolution, it was set at 1024x768, and I switched it to disable, the monitor turned off
[13:29] <ni291187> HALP
[13:29] <ikonia> _DADDY: what do you mean "how is it".....
[13:29] <ikonia> ni291187: just ask a question
[13:29] <ikonia> ni291187: saying "help" is just a waste of time
[13:29] <ni291187> I did I did I'm so screwed
[13:29] <ni291187> this is billyzane
[13:29] <_DADDY> i aint never have used it before, heard its alot like unity
[13:30] <ikonia> _DADDY: unity is just a shell that sits on top of gnome - so in essence it's the same desktop with a different shell interface
[13:30] <Zapp83> uragano2:  do you use logrotate? may have a look in /etc/logrotate.conf if you had problems with other logs aswell.
[13:30] <dufa> uragano2: could it have been compromised? this if uotside of my expertise, but you could check for backdoors with netstat -ln
[13:30] <hypopedata> How can I get into graphical mode from the recovery mode command line?
[13:30] <Guest99274> #NAMES
[13:30] <dufa> uragano2: if the machine is listening to any ports it shoulnt
[13:31] <ikonia> hypopedata: you'd have to start X - but you can just boot into graphical recovery mode, which is easier
[13:31] <abdul> hello, has any body upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10
[13:31] <ikonia> abdul: many people
[13:31] <Guest40984> if yes, did it work
[13:31] <ni291187> ok I got back by restarting
[13:31] <_DADDY> ya i meant gnome3shell, as in should i fallback to 2
[13:31] <ikonia> Guest40984: most people report a positive option
[13:31] <cfhowlett> abdul several million I would imagine ...
[13:31] <ikonia> _DADDY: sorry what ? fall back to 2 ?
[13:32] <uragano2> Zapp83: i never user logrotate, but conf file exists
[13:32] <hypopedata> ikonia: It would be, but I have to mount my partitions manually and I do not know how to get back to the main menu from there.
[13:32] <ikonia> _DADDY: gnome 2 is dead - it's not an option going forward.
[13:32] <mansoor-s> Hello friends
[13:32] <_DADDY> fallback mode --->2
[13:32] <cfhowlett> mansoor-s, greetings
[13:32] <ikonia> _DADDY: no - it's not 2
[13:32] <Guest99274> _DADDY try xfce
[13:32] <Ben64> if you have 12.04 it'll work until 2017 :D
[13:32] <niklasfi> hi, I don't have any hardware output devices in pavucontrol, tough in /proc/assound/cards three cards show up.
[13:32] <Guest40984> ok then I will try and upgrade now then
[13:32] <ikonia> hypopedata: just reboot and select the graphical recovery option
[13:32] <_DADDY> i try cinnamon and its poopy
[13:33] <MonkeyDust> _DADDY  cinnamon is a mint thingy
[13:33] <ikonia> he's using mint
[13:33] <hypopedata> ikonia: But then ubuntu freezes when mounting my partitions :(
[13:33] <_DADDY> mint is poopy
[13:33] <ikonia> on a livecd now
[13:33] <ikonia> _DADDY: do you need something from this channel ?
[13:33] <cfhowlett> !mint
[13:33] <mansoor-s> I have a windows laptop and Ubuntu desktop where I do all of my work. But I also want to go to coffee shop :). So, is there a way to "mount" a directory over ssh. Fromwhich I can edit files and it can automatically sync them. and then over ssh console i can compile and run
[13:33] <_DADDY> direction
[13:33] <ikonia> hypopedata: not if you boot into safe graphics
[13:33] <ikonia> _DADDY: ok, what's the question
[13:33] <ikonia> (or issue)
[13:33] <cfhowlett> _DADDY, for mint support ask in the mint channel.
[13:33] <mansoor-s> i'm basically looking for an application tht syncs directory over SSh cross platform
[13:34] <ikonia> cfhowlett: he's not asked for mint support
[13:34] <mansoor-s> hmm
[13:34] <_DADDY> i dont want mint help
[13:34] <ikonia> mansoor-s: rsync ?
[13:34] <niklasfi> mansoor-s: are you looking for sshfs?
[13:34] <Guest99274> mansoor, try scp
[13:34] <cfhowlett> _DADDY, misunderstood then.  sorry.  please continue
[13:34] <mansoor-s> ikonia, niklasfi it should have a client that runs on windows
[13:34] <hypopedata> ikonia: Yes. It tells me it will mount the partitions and then, doing that, freezes-
[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] <ikonia> mansoor-s: there is an rsync client for windows
[13:35] <Guest99274> ya dropbox is good
[13:35] <Guest99274> and it uses ssh
[13:35] <niklasfi> mansoor-s: if you are looking for something similar, look at owncloud
[13:35] <mansoor-s> i will
[13:35] <mansoor-s> thanks all
[13:35] <rethus> how can i reconfigure the graphic-card?
[13:35] <mansoor-s> rethus, is it an nvidia?
[13:35] <Guest99274> But many corporate firewalls block ssh :)
[13:35] <rethus> i have copy an image from vbox, but now i have other hardware ... so i need to detect graphic-card and install it
[13:36] <rethus> intel HD2500
[13:36] <BillyZane|2> Ben64:  hi
[13:36] <mansoor-s> Guest99274, one of the tiny perks of being a freelancer :D
[13:36] <ikonia> rethus: xorg is dynamic and should auto detect/configure it
[13:36] <niklasfi> Guest99274: you can always use port 80 or something similar though
[13:36] <ikonia> rethus: unless you have an xorg.conf overriding it/forcing settings
[13:36] <rethus> i try dpkg-reconfivure xserver-x11, but nothein happend
[13:36] <rethus> i have problem, that system freeze periodicaly
[13:37] <ikonia> rethus: please read what I said
[13:37] <rethus> what u mean with override it? only delete and restart xserver?
[13:38] <_DADDY> just asking about different option besides unity, everytime i try to get a gnome shell going, unity bugs it, do i have to completely remove unity first?
[13:38] <ikonia> rethus: if you have an xorg.conf with options in, it will override the auto detection
[13:38] <ikonia> rethus: if you have no xorg.conf it will autodetect and configure your card
[13:38] <rethus> k. thanks
[13:38] <BillyZane|2> iKonia
[13:38] <ikonia> _DADDY: keeping them seperate is a recommended approach in my view
[13:38] <BillyZane|2> i am stuck at 1024x768
[13:38] <hypopedata> ikonia: Is it possible to return to the recovery mode menu from the root shell?
[13:38] <BillyZane|2> should i create a xorg.conf file?
[13:38] <ikonia> hypopedata: no
[13:38] <crazydip> _DADDY: no you don't... i have both and shell is working ok
[13:39] <_DADDY> just ok?
[13:39] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: what video card do you have......
[13:39] <BillyZane|2> GTX 660
[13:39] <Guest99274> _DADDY : people are generally using gnome2_fallback or either migrating to xfce, unity is really buggy and I too faced the same difficulties
[13:39] <BillyZane|2> i've been trying to get the drivers to work
[13:39] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: then there should already be an xorg.conf forcing it to load the nvidia module
[13:39] <ikonia> Guest99274: please don't make things up
[13:39] <crazydip> _DADDY: what? ok means its working like it should
[13:39] <BillyZane|2> i don't think i have that ikonia
[13:39] <ikonia> Guest99274: "people" are not migrating to xfce
[13:39] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: then there is your problem
[13:40] <BillyZane|2> ok i'll make one
[13:40] <hypopedata> ikonia: Is it then possible to change which commands are executed when booting in recovery mode?
[13:40] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: do you have the nvidia drivers installed
[13:40] <ikonia> hypopedata: no
[13:40] <BillyZane|2> ikonia, i'm new to this but i don't know. it's possible
[13:40] <BillyZane|2> how do i check?
[13:40] <hypopedata> ikonia: Only bad news :(
[13:40] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: did you install them ?
[13:40] <Guest99274> #USER
[13:40] <BillyZane|2> i was installing/uninstalling rebooting removing, adding. i'm lost
[13:41] <BillyZane|2> i had 2 ppl help me simultaneously, i just did what they told me to do
[13:41] <ikonia> Guest99274: please stop that
[13:41] <crazydip> _DADDY: just read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html
[13:41] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: ok, so I suggest installing them

[13:42] <BillyZane|2> ikonia, i did not have an xconfig file, i just created one, shall i reboot?
[13:42] <Ben64> ikonia: it is installed
[13:42] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: no
[13:42] <ikonia> BillyZane|2: you should not - you've just done the opposite of what I told you
[13:42] <BillyZane|2> hi ben1
[13:42] <BillyZane|2> ben!
[13:42] <ikonia> Ben64: he doesn't believe it is, so over to you

[13:43] <Ben64> i have work in 7hrs
[13:43] <BillyZane|2> no problem ben, i appreciate your help
[13:43] <Ben64> maybe disabling the intel would help, nvidia-settings can change resolution and stuff
[13:43] <BillyZane|2> good point, i'll try that
[13:43] <BillyZane|2> brb
[13:43] <Ben64> but the driver is definitely installed at this point
[13:44] <mozzy> ciao

[13:49] <cocomo> hi, when ever i click on flash play in epiphany-browser i get loads of these errors and browsers hangs http://pastie.org/5682875
[13:49] <hypopedata> ubottu: I do not think this is the problem. The colours and the resolution of the grub menu and this warning box are correct. I need to get into command line because the computer freezes when I click OK.
[13:49] <cocomo> plz tell me if theres any remedy for my problem
[13:49] <mrec> is there any way to enable doubletapping with ubuntu 12.10?
[13:49] <Zapp83> uragano2:  did you have problems with other logs aswell? in that case which!
[13:50] <mrec> mouse + ubuntu = totally messed up after every update
[13:50] <hypopedata> usr13: Thanks, but Ctr Alt F1 does not work.
[13:50] <ioria>  cocomo: 12.04 ?
[13:50] <WarkAngel> when i install with (sudo apt-get install krb5-kdc krb5-admin-server) it ask me to specify a principal or an username : What should i input there ?
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> cocomo: is it ok in another broiwser?
[13:50] <cocomo> ActionParsnip: yes
[13:50] <cocomo> ActionParsnip: i can right click in opera chrome midori
[13:51] <cocomo> but in epiphany browser hangs
[13:51] <WarkAngel> It's write Default kerberos realm .
[13:51] <ioria>  cocomo: epi uses gtk3
[13:51] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: hi! it's working! the xconfig file was the problem apparently. i did the command you told me to use and it worked
[13:51] <BillyZane|2> thank you very much
[13:52] <uragano2> Zapp83: other logs as what? i have just checked /var/log/auth.log and it has been deleted after restart too
[13:52] <ioria>  cocomo: maybe nspluginwrapper
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: so you need an xorg.conf file?
[13:53] <cocomo> ioria: i am using libgtk3
[13:54] <cocomo> ioria: what should i do with nspluginwrapper to avoid browser freezing?
[13:54] <hypopedata> usr 13: ctrl alt F2 :)
[13:55] <mozzy> ciao
[13:55] <mvt007geek> hi hi hi
[13:55] <cfhowlett> mvt007geek, greetings
[13:55] <ioria>  cocomo: i'm on lubuntu 12.04 and all browsers work with flash with the exception of epi... i used nspluginwrapper and i solved...
[13:55] <thoonai> hey
[13:55] <ioria>  cocomo: but if you are on gnome with gtk3 i don't know
[13:56] <mvt007geek> i want to install ubuntu in a sdcard .i just have the unzip ubuntu.so i want to change this command:     sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+omap4.img.gz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdc
[13:56] <mvt007geek> how to do that?
[13:56] <mozzy> !list
[13:56] <thoonai> my nginx cant assign ip though port is free, php_fcgi is running and adress is up
[13:56] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: umm.. i don't know
[13:57] <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?
[13:58] <mvt007geek> i want to install ubuntu in a sdcard .i just have the unzip ubuntu.so i want to change this command:     sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-server-armhf+omap4.img.gz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdc
[13:58] <KNUBBIG> Hey, I got a problem with AJAX and don't know where to go. Anybody got a suggestion for me? Thanks
[13:58] <cocomo> if you see this paste http://pastie.org/5682875 you can see my epiphany IS using nspluginwrapper ioria
[13:58] <bazhang> !alis | KNUBBIG
[13:59] <usr13> cocomo: Does firefox work ok?
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: is the display as you desire?
[13:59] <KNUBBIG> bazhang: cool didn't know that (obv), thanks a lot
[13:59] <cocomo> usr13: yes it does
[14:00] <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
[14:01] <ioria>  cocomo: type nspluginwrapper
[14:01] <uragano2> Zapp83: i'll save configuration files and i'll try to do a new installation...thanks for your help anyway!
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: install a 3d game like super tux kart and run it :
[14:02] <uragano2> dufa: i'll save configuration files and i'll try to do a new installation...thanks for your help anyway!
[14:02] <Zapp83> uragano2:  give me a sec
[14:02] <uragano2> Zapp83: ok
[14:02] <dufa> uragano2: good luck!
[14:02] <Zapp83> uragano2:  What version of ubuntu are you using and when did this problem first present itself
[14:03] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip:  ok i'm installing
[14:03] <thoonai> my nginx cant assign ip though port is free, php_fcgi is running and adress is up
[14:03] <uragano2> Zapp83: i am using Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-1412-omap4 armv7l)
[14:03] <mansoor-s> dropbox is down every single time i try to use it
[14:04] <BillyZane|2> it's late, man i need to sleep
[14:04] <BillyZane|2> i can't sleep at night, i sleep at 10pm and wake up 2 am
[14:04] <BillyZane|2> gotta sleep
[14:04] <Zapp83> uragano2:  OK, have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/940030 might be relevant! :)
[14:05] <uragano2> Zapp83: and i dunno when i had the problem first time,i noticed it fews days ago
[14:06] <mansoor-s> Would anyone trust ubuntu one with sensitive business documents and IP?
[14:07] <usr13> mansoor-s: I trust my thumb drive.
[14:07] <llutz> mansoor-s: i'd trust none of those cloud-services
[14:07] <mansoor-s> hmm i might have to invest in a thumd drive
[14:07] <Zapp83> ubottu: Nicely said. :)
[14:07] <mansoor-s> but they can be stolen/lost so easily
[14:08] <llutz> mansoor-s: encryption is the keyword
[14:08] <mansoor-s> llutz, what tool do you use for encryption?
[14:08] <rajeshp> 1lutz, well said, encrypt your documents and use cloud.
[14:08] <llutz> mansoor-s: gpg
[14:09] <mansoor-s> i need something that works crossplatform
[14:09] <Zapp83> mansoor-s: 7zip is great for backups to off-site compress and encrypt. :)
[14:09] <llutz> mansoor-s: gpg
[14:09] <usr13> mansoor-s: thumbdrives
[14:09] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: it's pretty fun (superkarttux) however, it just crashed. it was taking 3 percent of my CPU
[14:10] <uragano2> Zapp83: in my case auth.log, kern.log and syslog are created but them start from the last restart and there is any old log as syslog.1 in /var/log. wtmp is not created
[14:11] <BillyZane|2> k, sleep time, good night
[14:11] <thoonai> my nginx cant assign ip though port is free, php_fcgi is running and adress is up
[14:12] <llutz> thoonai: error is?
[14:12] <Danic> I think I used to open the dashboard with the left windows key. It doesn't work anymore. Now I am not sure if it's broken, or my brain is broken (or both).
[14:14] <usr13> thoonai: /join #nginx
[14:14] <MastaaK> Hello everyone, it's me again... I will make a LTSP server as soon as I can and I would know if it's possible to make a link with samba and ltsp
[14:15] <MastaaK> I mean when a user log on an ltsp client his documents will be the one on the samba server, even the desktop if it's possible
[14:15] <MastaaK> I would be glade if someone know or just paste a link!
[14:15] <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 "="?
[14:16] <hypopedata> ...like a "\" in LaTeX
[14:17] <usr13> hypopedata: NetworkManager should compensate for it.  But, I just use passwords with regular characters
[14:17] <thoonai> usr13: #nginx is dead
[14:18] <Zapp83> uragano2:  ok, i'm out of ideas then i think! Other then dirty dirty workarounds.
[14:18] <hypopedata> usr13: It seems not to.
[14:19] <usr13> hypopedata: Did you try quotes?
[14:20] <xsumi5> Anyone available for an odd issue
[14:20] <Sling> xsumi5: dont ask to ask, ask
[14:21] <xsumi5> Ahhh
[14:21] <xsumi5> Trying to be polite
[14:21] <uragano2> Zapp83: thanks anyway for your help! i'll make a last attempt on #ubuntu-arm :)
[14:21] <xsumi5> I noticed with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit that when I plug my earphones in the jack it appears that gnome has issues
[14:22] <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.
[14:24] <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.
[14:25] <hypopedata> usr13: Yes, the problem may lie elsewhere.
[14:26] <Zapp83> xsumi5: Does the volyme control and mic work then also?
[14:26] <nogui4me> Hey! How can I boot to console in 12.04 or disable lightdm? I have broken xorg.conf, they disable my keyboard and mice. I try recovery mode but have same problem.
[14:26] <dawkirst> What is the de facto way for serving SSH in Ubuntu?
[14:26] <eagernewbie> Yo.
[14:26] <hypopedata> usr13: I am following the instructions at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tiphow-to-connectdisconnect-vpn-from-the-command-line.html, but the fix is not working.
[14:26] <xsumi5> I didn't really try it the vol / mic controls I was really just trying to use the earphones
[14:27] <boulderdave> I need a MultipleChoiceField that can accept any value... problem is thedjango field requires you specify the list choices in the form class... whats the best way to go about this?
[14:27] <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. :/
[14:28] <xsumi5> It in generally repeatable.
[14:29] <usr13> hypopedata: Oh, I'm just now realizing that you are working on a vpn connection.
[14:29] <usr13> hypopedata: But it's pretty much the same
[14:29] <Raccoon_Crunch> Buttsecks
[14:30] <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
[14:31] <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] <xsumi5> Thanks everyone
[14:31] <modifier> jrib: ok...but why hjsplit is not running on my system ?
[14:32] <dawkirst> Pici, thanks.
[14:32] <jrib> modifier: I don't know.  How did you install it?
[14:32] <thoonai> hey what does console-kit-daemon is
[14:32] <thoonai> ?
[14:33] <modifier> jrib: i downloadded it from site hjsplit.org no need to install....just unpack and change file to executable and run from file manager or terminal
[14:33] <modifier> but anyways its not running..
[14:33] <modifier> jrib: ^^^
[14:33] <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] <jrib> modifier: so what happens when you try to run it...?
[14:34] <jrib> modifier: lxsplit is in the repositories too
[14:34] <jrib> !info lxsplit | modifier
[14:34] <cfhowlett> hje841, it's not in repos, so you'll need to download a .deb or compile
[14:34] <modifier> nothing happens....when clicking it in file manager then nothing hapens and when giving command in terminal, command completes and no output
[14:35] <hje841> cfhowlett, thanks
[14:35] <hje841> how do I do that from cli?
[14:35] <cfhowlett> hje841, have fun, be safe.
[14:35] <modifier> jrib: i tried installing lxsplit also...but mine is x64 architecture and version available is x86
[14:35] <jrib> modifier: how did you try installing lxsplit?
[14:36] <usr13> hypopedata: What does the error message say?
[14:36] <hypopedata> Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets.
[14:36] <hypopedata> usr13: "Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets."
[14:36] <modifier> i downloaded it from site and then sudo dpkg -E -G -i --force-all lxsplit.deb
[14:37] <jrib> modifier: no, just use apt.  It's in the repositories.  « sudo apt-get install lxsplit »
[14:37] <modifier> x64 repo ?
[14:37] <modifier> jrib: ^
[14:37] <jrib> modifier: yes
[14:37] <modifier> ok
[14:37] <circle> I have 2GB ram, Ubuntu install, but only 240mb free.

[14:38] <modifier> jrib: if cat does that job good then do i really need other apps like hjsplit or lxsplit ? and still why hjsplit is not running ?
[14:38] <cfhowlett> circle, on unity?
[14:38] <usr13> hypopedata: "no valid VPN secrets" seems to indicate authentication problem
[14:38] <iceroot> circle: you have more then 240mb free
[14:39] <circle> iceroot: cheers, makes friend

[14:39] <circle> iceroot: makes sense*
[14:39] <iceroot> !anyone | v0lksman
[14:39] <jrib> modifier: if cat does the job and all you want to do is the job, then you don't need anything else.  Pastebin your command and full output when you try to run hjsplit for starters

[14:46] <rigo_> hi my pci wlan card is not recognised after cold start. only after a ctrl+alt+del reboot.

[14:50] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: does the driver get loaded?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: as in, the first boot?
[14:50] <jrib> modifier: it's really not a good idea to run something with sudo just because it didn't work without it; especially when you're not sure what it is doing
[14:50] <rigo_> i cant see anything in the dmesg. u can check it here are the 2 dmesg-s one after another:
[14:50] <rigo_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530351
[14:51] <modifier> jrib: yea...but i was just making it work around....rest i'll keep that in mind for future
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: when you get the wifi running, run:  sudo lshw -C network
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: look at the driver bit, if you cold boot the OS, unload the module then reload it, is it ok?
[14:51] <day> i installed the nvidia graphics driver but now i only see my secondary monitor without toolbars (just the desktop extension) how do i fix that?
[14:52] <jrib> modifier: did it come with documentation?
[14:52] <niklasfi> hi, I don't have any hardware output devices in pavucontrol, tough in /proc/assound/cards three cards show up. Any Ideas?#
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> day: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue    and which nvidia GPU?
[14:52] <circle> In a virtual box, does it automatically format the space as ext4 (I chose the environment to be an Arch Linux one)? Or do I have to do it myself? I assume the former
[14:52] <modifier> jrib: yes 1 test file...download it...just few kbs hjsplit.org
[14:53] <hypopedata> usr13: No luck, thanks anyway!
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> circle: you assign a disk file, this is used by the virtual system, it is all managed for you
[14:53] <circle> ActionParsnip: ok cool, thanks
[14:53] <circle> I assumed so
[14:53] <rigo_> lshw -C network gives: PCI (sysfs)
[14:54] <day> ActionParsnip: nvidia gpu is a gtx660 it works totally fine it just doest like the dvi output. will check the /etc/issue once im home. but i doubt that there are any issues
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: give it time
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> day: it doesn't show issues, it shows other things
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: your PCI bus is slow
[14:55] <xrlgf> hi, do someone know why rsync is using root to write files, instead of the ssh username on ubuntu server ?
[14:55] <rigo_> can i speed it up?
[14:55] <jrib> modifier: output of "file hjsplit"?
[14:55] <_joey> Two questions: 1) how do I stop the system changing resolv.conf contents after each restart . 2) I want to install linux on a system with ms windows but the installer on a flash stick
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: no, its universal
[14:55] <circle> ActionParsnip: I'm installing arch and it tells me it's the wrong filesystem type. are you sure I'm not supposed to format it as ext4?
[14:55] <modifier> jrib: http://pastebin.com/KSGK7piw - hjsplit documentation - small text file nothing else
[14:55] <day> ActionParsnip: alright i give it a shot.
[14:56] <rigo_> gr8
[14:56] <modifier> jrib: output ? hjsplit is not running at all....its not opening nothing happening or showing
[14:56] <rigo_> what can i do than? other than reloading the module with rc.local after startup
[14:56] <jrib> modifier: run the command "file hjsplit"
[14:57] <rigo_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1530970/
[14:57] <modifier> jrib: ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ file hjsplit  hjsplit: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped
[14:58] <jrib> modifier: maybe you need 32-bit libraries.  You can install the ia32-libs package if you want to try
[14:58] <BluesKaj> circle, I suggest you ask in #archlinux
[14:58] <modifier> architecture problem ? jrib
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> circle: then i'd ask in #arch
[14:59] <BluesKaj> altho it does use ext4
[15:00] <BluesKaj> ran arch for awhile , nothing special , just a chore to install via the cli , but the reward isn't worth all the work IMO
[15:00] <rigo_> no idea? i'll give another pci slot a try.
[15:01] <wasutton3> does anyone know if one might be able to download the ubuntu phone os?
[15:01] <modifier> jrib: but its not showing anything with ./hjsplit as written in documentation but showing with "file hjsplit" and whats does "file xxx" mean ?
[15:01] <jrib> modifier: "file xxx" just gives information about xxx
[15:01] <modifier> ohh
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: the pci slot is moot, ALL slots are scanned using the command
[15:01] <_joey> so?
[15:02] <rigo_> i c
[15:02] <modifier> so should i proceed with ia32-libs ?
[15:02] <modifier> jrib: ^^
[15:02] <jrib> modifier: if you want to try, sure.
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: where do you get 'no idea' from... you clearly haven't tried what I said.
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> rigo_: why do you need to pastebin the output?
[15:02] <modifier> cat is copy utility or joiner ?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> modifier: it can be both
[15:03] <rigo_> cause u asked for the lshw  -C network
[15:03] <modifier> if copy then can be used as backup utility also like rsync ?
[15:04] <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?
[15:05] <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] <ActionParsnip> GoldenApple: missed a semicolon :)
[15:06] <GoldenApple> http://pastebin.com/9P5LFykL
[15:07] <usr13> _joey: You need to re-phrase question number 2
[15:09] <_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?
[15:10] <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
[15:11] <_joey> but the system changes resolv.conf contents after each reboot
[15:12] <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
[15:13] <histo> _joey: it's not a problem that's what it does
[15:13] <_joey> it does shit
[15:13] <usr13> _joey: Uninstall network-manager and edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf
[15:13] <_joey> nobody wants
[15:13] <histo> !language | _joey
[15:14] <usr13> _joey: or uninstall wicd if your using that one.
[15:14] <histo> _joey: you don't need to use network-manager as usr13 stated. Or you can edit your connection in network-manager and specify whatever you want for DNS
[15:14] <histo> usr13: I don't believe wicd will overwrie the resolve conf
[15:15] <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> usr13: what is the name of the service that run network-manager?
[15:15] <usr13> _joey: Just uninstall it.
[15:15] <distrozione_> Ciao a tutti, scusato ho un problema con l'hd esterno, in pratica stavo per creare un disco di avvio utilizzando la iso che si trovava sull'hd e una pendrive dove creare il boot... il problema è che si è disconnesso per sbaglio l'hd e ora mi da errore di input/output e non mi fa accedere... montandolo su altri computer lo vedo senza la solita etichetta (si chiama my passport) e vedo 4 file "criptati"
[15:16] <usr13> _joey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[15:16] <SwedeMike> !it | distrozione_
[15:16] <_joey> usr13 well, no disrespect but I don't uninstall just because someone advises to
[15:16] <_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.
[15:17] <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
[15:18] <usr13> _joey: I've given you the simpliest method.  Take it or leave it.
[15:18] <vitimiti> o/
[15:18] <histo> usr13: please
[15:19] <_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?
[15:20] <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.
[15:23] <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] <histo> _joey: http://dijks.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/how-to-disable-network-manager-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise/
[15:24] <_joey> llutz: untill a reboot is done
[15:24] <_joey> it will ignore
[15:24] <llutz> _joey: nope
[15:24] <histo> llutz: but the resolv.conf gets overwritten by network-manager
[15:24] <histo> llutz: that's his issue. _joey please see the link I posted will explain how to disable it
[15:25] <bamarni> what is the difference between the base64 content and binary content of a file / picture?
[15:25] <histo> llutz: network-manager will manage the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces unless he changes the managed mode in /etc/NetworManager/NetworkManager.conf
[15:26] <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] <histo> _joey: you need to use sudo
[15:26] <_joey> I am using it
[15:27] <_joey> I am editing as root
[15:27] <gur_> yop
[15:27] <_joey> that's probably another shit Ubuntu team added to the system thinking it's going to benefit most users
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> _joey  no such words here, please
[15:28] <bazhang> _joey, thats enough with the cursing
[15:28] <histo> _joey: I can write to mine
[15:28] <_joey> histo: hmm
[15:28] <histo> _joey: double check that your are using sudo to edit the file
[15:28] <_joey> of course I am
[15:29] <_joey> sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[15:29] <_joey> sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[15:29] <histo> _joey: then change the line and :w
[15:29] <histo> _joey: if not try stoping network manager first
[15:29] <rumpel> _joey, is the filesystem writeable?
[15:29] <histo> _joey: but i'm able to write to mine with network-manager running
[15:30] <_joey>  chmod 755 /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[15:30] <_joey> chmod: cannot access `/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf': No such file or directory
[15:30] <jhutchins> bamarni: base64 is used to encode binary files so that they can be passed through email systems.
[15:30] <histo> _joey: did you remove network-manager?
[15:31] <_joey> I cannot 'touch' it either
[15:31] <_joey> histo: I will not remove the network-manager
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> _joey: use TAB to autocomplete
[15:31] <_joey> untill I see the system is playing nicely while it's stopped
[15:31] <Eagleman> Is there a website where i could download pretty much harmless virusses, i want to test my antivirus in my webmail, it did detect the Eicar-Test-Signature however i want to test it aiganst real virusses.
[15:32] <histo> _joey: I'm asking if you did remove it.... not telling you to remove. Trying to figure out why that file doesn't exist
[15:32] <_joey> I did not remove it
[15:32] <brecker> hey guys, I'm trying to read two discs that where set up in raid (factory raid of a sony notebook), I've installed dmraid and hooked them up via usb, but it didn't recognized them, if I do dmraid -r it says no discs found, any ideas?
[15:32] <brecker> no raid discs*
[15:33] <usr13> _joey: Sure would be easier if you DID remove it.  :)
[15:34] <bamarni> jhutchins: ok so basically base64 is a binary content encoded so that it gets smaller and can be sent with emails etc right?
[15:34] <meet> does aria2c or axel really speed up downloads?
[15:35] <histo> _joey: is your filesystem writeable and are other files present in /etc
[15:35] <_joey> histo: yes
[15:35] <fego> ActionParsnip: mind a pm?
[15:35] <brecker> they do appear under /dev/sde, but nothing appears under dev/mapper
[15:35] <histo> _joey: do you have a file called /etc/init/network-manager.conf  ??
[15:36] <_joey> -rw-r--r--  1 root root for /etc
[15:36] <_joey> histo: I don't have that file
[15:36] <histo> _joey: that's an issue /etc should be a d
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> fego: sup
[15:37] <usr13> _joey: That's interesting.  How did that happen>?
[15:37] <_joey> histo: I did not change anything
[15:37] <histo> _joey: should be drwxr-xr-x on /etc
[15:37] <usr13> _joey: That can not be right because /etc is a directory.
[15:37] <rumpel> _joey, then it must have decided to become a real file ^^
[15:38] <brecker> seen psusi
[15:38] <brecker> !seen psusi
[15:38] <_joey> usr13: some directories under /etc have drwxr-xr-x
[15:38] <usr13> _joey:  ls -l /  |grep etc
[15:39] <_joey> usr13:  I don't think you know what you are talking about
[15:39] <_joey> thanks for your help, though
[15:40] <histo> _joey: etc should be a directory and there should be files present inside of it.
[15:40] <histo> _joey: is this an installed system and what version of ubuntu are you running
[15:40] <_joey> there are files in /etc and /etc is a directory
[15:41] <_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
[15:42] <_joey> if you all your solutions are "remove it"
[15:42] <bazhang> _joey, stop that
[15:42] <_joey> bazhang: he asked for it
[15:42] <_joey> it's not for the first time I told him I am not going to remove it
[15:42] <bazhang> _joey,  thats not right. so just dont do it
[15:42] <adamx> lol got some mad in here
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> _joey  if you want a static IP, first remove network-manager, it's the mot normal way
[15:43] <histo> yeah well usr13 is partially to blame
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> most*
[15:43] <histo> MonkeyDust: he just wants to disable it not remove it
[15:43] <_joey> histo: root@ubuntu:~# stop network-manager
[15:43] <histo> _joey: sudo stop network-manager
[15:43] <_joey> stop: Unknown job: network-manager
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> _joey  great, so no harm done if you remove it
[15:43] <histo> _joey: echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/network-manager.override
[15:44] <_joey> okay  sudo stop network-manager
[15:44] <_joey> stop: Unknown job: network-manager
[15:44] <histo> _joey: okay do the second command please
[15:44] <_joey> as per instructions you linked me to above
[15:44] <histo> _joey: you've already stopped it
[15:45] <histo> _joey: I don't know what else you've tried perhaps you remove the job already.
[15:45] <_joey> what's the name of process in PID table?
[15:45] <jhutchins> _joey: That's not valid linux syntax.
[15:45] <_joey> If I removed it already the system would not be updating resolv.conf after reboots
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> _joey  you're making things way too complicated, IMO, simply remove network-manager, done!
[15:45] <_joey> assuming network-manager has anything to do with updating resolv.conf
[15:46] <usr13> network-manager is not the name of a service, it's the name of an application.
[15:46] <histo> usr13: yes it is a service
[15:46] <rumpel> usr13, an application that runs as a service
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> _joey  please don't reject every and any advice you're getting here
[15:47] <histo> usr13: sudo status network-manager
[15:47] <_joey> service is an application run as a daemon
[15:47] <BluesKaj> Joah, network manager will overwrite your resolve.conf settings at bot up , everytime
[15:47] <histo> network-manager start/running, process 1268
[15:47] <besingamk> hi.. can i ask for php on ubuntu ?? lAMP?
[15:47] <histo> usr13: ^
[15:47] <BluesKaj> joey ^
[15:47] <_joey> histo: thanks
[15:47] <histo> _joey: can you please create the /etc/init/network-manager.override file
[15:47] <MonkeyDust> !lamp | besingamk start here
[15:47] <histo> _joey: and reboot and be done with all this nonsense
[15:48] <andygraybeal> hi, is the openjdk / iced tea plugin vulernable, even though their might not be an known exploit for it?
[15:48] <moondoggy> Could someone give me some help with the java security update?
[15:48] <histo> andygraybeal: anything can be vunerrable
[15:48] <besingamk> yes.. sir i just succesfully install lamp on ubuntu. but i have some problems on some php file
[15:48] <_joey> histo: it's a non-sense, I agree. but what need to be done before rebooting again?
[15:48] <besingamk> you guys are familiar with php~
[15:48] <BluesKaj> histo, if he's running a static ip , whynot just remove network manager and let the interfaces file do the lifting
[15:48] <histo> _joey: echo "manual" | sudo tee /etc/init/network-manager.override
[15:49] <BluesKaj> too many cooks
[15:49] <histo> BluesKaj: he doesn't want to remove network-manager just wants to disable it for some reason.
[15:49] <usr13> histo: It's NetworkManager   not    network-manager
[15:49] <_joey> histo: okay, done
[15:49] <usr13> histo: The name of the service that is....
[15:49] <histo> _joey: reboot
[15:49] <histo> usr13: please
[15:50] <BluesKaj> he doesn't ne3ed it unless he's going to use a wifi connection
[15:50] <usr13> histo: Just trying to help
[15:50] <_joey> brb, i need to reboot to test if it has any effect
[15:50] <conann> ciao
[15:50] <drvanon> I am trying to back up my windows files. I used rsync -avx /src /dst for that. /dst is my 1 terrabyte usb-flash memory thingie. Point is, it got to hiberfil.sys it was bigger than 4GB so it crashed. I decided to remove it but everytime I restart rsync it now starts with hiberfil.sys. What to do?
[15:50] <histo> usr13: on your terminal please type in sudo status network-manager
[15:50] <histo> usr13: you will see
[15:50] <histo> _joey: k
[15:50] <moondoggy> I have java "1.7.11" already installed, but I was told that this security update was just made available today.
[15:51] <usr13> histo: in your terminal please type:  ps aux |grep NetworkManager
[15:51] <moondoggy> That make any sense to anyone?
[15:51] <histo> drvanon: is the windows system still running
[15:51] <histo> usr13: that's not the name of the job
[15:51] <drvanon> Nope as dead as a doornail
[15:51] <histo> usr13: that's the name of the pid
[15:51] <histo> usr13: I really don't care i'm done with it
[15:51] <usr13> histo: pid is a number not a name
[15:51] <besingamk> hi.. i when i open the php on the browser.. it display nothing and when i check to my root folder i notice the php~ file.. e.g (index.php and index.php~)
[15:52] <histo> drvanon: well it seeing that the other files matched most likely and hiberfile.sys is still there.
[15:52] <histo> drvanon: that would be my guess.
[15:52] <drvanon> histo: I am quite sure I removed it
[15:52] <drvanon> histo: will double check
[15:53] <drvanon> Thank god for the the moment He created double check
[15:53] <_joey> histo: I did _not_ work
[15:53] <_joey> the system updated resolv.conf again
[15:53] <besingamk> hi.. i when i open the php on the browser.. it display nothing and when i check to my root folder i notice the php~ file.. e.g (index.php and index.php~)
[15:54] <histo> _joey: is network manager runningn?
[15:54] <_joey> no
[15:54] <brecker> anyone here knows about mounting discs in raid?
[15:54] <_joey> but the system keeps updating resolv.conf
[15:54] <histo> _joey: then what else do you have installed that would overwrite resolv.conf
[15:55] <dcope> what FS does ubuntu support that allows pools of drives? One where i can add drives at will and it just extends the raid?
[15:55] <usr13> _joey: Did you edit  /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[15:55] <_joey> histo: whatever is configured by Ubuntu team to be installed is installed. I did not add anything to system that would notoriously giving me shit
[15:56] <histo> _joey: please stop swearing in here
[15:56] <_joey> okay/ s/shit/crap
[15:56] <histo> _joey: how are you confirming that network manager is not running right now?
[15:56] <_joey> yep
[15:56] <papachan> firefox 18 always crashing at startup, that my log, any idea? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1531072/
[15:56] <histo> jesus
[15:57] <bazhang> _joey, last warning on swearing
[15:57] <rumpel> _joey, if you have that opinion than maybe a switch to a different distro is a better way to solve also future problems. Emotions are very important when handling an OS.
[15:57] <misterno> can ubuntu play far cry 3?
[15:57] <misterno> or league of legends
[15:57] <histo> _joey: ps aux | grep NetworkManager
[15:57] <bazhang> misterno, check the appdb join #winehq
[15:57] <bazhang> !appdb | misterno
[15:57] <histo> misterno: or playonlinux
[15:58] <_joey> histo: there is NetworkManager running
[15:58] <_joey> let me try another reboot
[15:58] <histo> omg that's not going to make it go away
[15:58] <histo> ughh
[15:59] <histo> This kid is killing me

[16:01] <_joey> histo: confirmed twice. No networkmanager running but the system updates resolv.conf after reboot
[16:01] <hypopedata> sorry
[16:01] <histo> _joey: you just said it was running
[16:02] <_joey> I did not. Or may it was a mistyping
[16:02] <usr13> 09:58 < _joey> histo: there is NetworkManager running
[16:02] <histo> _joey: _joey> histo: there is NetworkManager running
[16:02] <_joey> It was not running, It is not running
[16:02] <daze> suddenly chromium does not display a tab bar if only one tab is open. how can I fix this?
[16:02] <histo> _joey: So why do you think it's over writing resolv.conf then?
[16:02] <_joey> sorry, i meant to networkmanager running
[16:02] <histo> huh?
[16:03] <_joey> I damn it
[16:03] <hypopedata> What is the name of that browser that runs in the terminal?
[16:03] <papachan> i find the solution
[16:03] <_joey> _NO_ NetWorkManager
[16:03] <usr13> _joey:  ps aux |grep NetworkManager
[16:03] <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] <usr13> _joey: Did you edit  /etc/network/interfaces  ?
[16:03] <TomyLobo> no not LTS to LTS
[16:03] <ettore> !list
[16:03] <TomyLobo> i mean for instance from 12.10 to 14.04
[16:04] <_joey> histo: I edit nameserver in resolv.conf. I reboot, NO network manager is running. the line for nameserver in resolv.conf disappears
[16:04] <histo> TomyLobo: you'd have to take each upgrade along the way I believe
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: you will need to upgrade to the releases between
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: or clean install
[16:04] <TomyLobo> i mean simply temporally

[16:05] <donttrustem> ActionParsnip: Hey
[16:05] <TomyLobo> will there still be security fixes for 12.10 by the time 14.04 is released?
[16:05] <hypopedata> What is the name of that browser that runs in the terminal? Now, I would google it if I knew of some browser that would run in the terminal :-)
[16:05] <TomyLobo> even if the release is delayed?
[16:05] <histo> _joey: with what?
[16:05] <lobi> where blueman store files
[16:05] <apm1> hypopedata, w3m
[16:05] <_joey> histo: using an editor
[16:05] <histo> _joey: what means are you using to specify a static IP
[16:05] <donttrustem> ActionParsnip: Going to put ubuntu on my MacBook but not sure what version to use
[16:06] <apm1> donttrustem, i am running 12.04 on a 2010 13" macbookpro
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> donttrustem: I'd use 12.04, it is LTS so supported til April 2017
[16:06] <_joey> iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.137.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.137.1
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> donttrustem: plus it has Unity2D :)
[16:06] <histo> _joey: where are you typing that?
[16:06] <donttrustem> 64bit
[16:06] <apm1> yes
[16:06] <histo> jesus christ like pulling teeth
[16:06] <TomyLobo> both 12.04 and 12.10 have kde, so who cares? :)
[16:06] <_joey> histo: /etc/network/interfaces
[16:07] <meet> how do i access ubuntu from window 7 using built in remote desktop connection?
[16:07] <donttrustem> apm1: What does it run like
[16:07] <TomyLobo> meet, sudo apt-get install xrdp
[16:07] <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] <apm1> donttrustem, no not quicker than os x 10.6
[16:07] <apm1> but at par
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: 12.10 only has 18 months support
[16:07] <histo> _joey: double check againt hat network manager is not running. ps aux | grep NetworkManager && ps aux | grep network-manager
[16:08] <meet> TomyLobo: do i need to provide ip address or name or anythin glike that?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> apm1: depends on config
[16:08] <_joey> histo: interfaces were edited and remain unchanged
[16:08] <brainard52> I'm curious why this happens: http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3557/screenshotfrom201301140.png
[16:08] <brainard52> It almost seems random. It has happened a few times, but I can't seem to recreate it at all.
[16:08] <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] <usr13> _joey: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[16:08] <apm1> donttrustem, unity is as fast as aquadesktop
[16:08] <_joey> histo: NO NO NO network-manager :)
[16:08] <apm1> ActionParsnip, right
[16:08] <_joey> oh boy
[16:09] <ettore> !list
[16:09] <histo> _joey: what?
[16:09] <_joey> I am answering your questions
[16:09] <ettore> !list
[16:09] <donttrustem> Ok making a backup of the mac and going to try it
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> brainard52: use ALT and you can drag from any point in the app window
[16:09] <histo> _joey: I was just saying to double check with ps aux | grep NetworkManager && ps aux | grep network-manager
[16:10] <_joey> you keep asking me about if the network manager is running. I am telling you there is NO!!! network-manager running
[16:10] <histo> _joey: does that return with anything?
[16:10] <hypopedata> apm1: Thanks!
[16:10] <apm1> np
[16:10] <_joey> histo: it returns nothing
[16:10] <brainard52> Thanks AP.
[16:10] <histo> _joey: and you realize that NetworkManger does not equal network-manager they are two different things
[16:10] <TomyLobo> meet, you enter your ubuntu machine's IP address into your windows7 machine's remote desktop application
[16:10] <donttrustem> Where is the 64bit intel version located
[16:10] <everestt> I am trying to remove openjdk 7 from synaptic, but it won't let me unless I install openjdk 6! ...I want to remove openjdk 7 completely and then install oracle java 7. What should I do?
[16:10] <histo> _joey: pastebin your interfaces file please
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> apm1: mini iso install then install fluxbox and it will be lighter and faster than mac os :)
[16:10] <_joey> histo: I realise. I pasted your command and it returns NOTHING
[16:10] <TomyLobo> donttrustem, IA64 or EMT64?
[16:10] <everestt> running Ubuntu 12.10 here
[16:11] <apm1> ActionParsnip, i know :)
[16:11] <meet> TomyLobo: how do i find that in ubuntu?
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <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
[16:13] <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.)
[16:14] <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
[16:15] <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.
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> everestt: its in tools -> options
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> everestt: in libreoffice
[16:16] <pijush> 12.04 crashed during update
[16:17] <rob__> hi
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> histo  usr13 anybody else would give the same advice: remove network manager
[16:17] <pijush> hello
[16:17] <Coldrain> rob__: Hi
[16:17] <usr13> pijush: "12.04 crashed during update"  Can you elaborate on that?
[16:17] <rob__> does anyone know if there is a list of short names for ubuntu releases anywhere?
[16:17] <histo> MonkeyDust: I know
[16:18] <histo> !releases | rob__
[16:18] <usr13> pijush: You did:  sudo apt-get update  ?
[16:18] <_helios_> pijush, try sudo apt-get update --fix -missing

[16:19] <chimerical26> hi there. I am trying to make a bootable ubuntu usb stick. Everytime I try to boot it it say "Missing Operating system". I have followed these instructions to the letter several times. Any suggestions?
[16:19] <hypopedata> Where is root's trash bin/folder (when deleting someting in nautilus)?
[16:19] <bazhang> rob__, apart from 6.06, they are all .04 and .10
[16:19] <histo> chimerical26: what instructions are you following?
[16:19] <_helios_> chimerical26, try using the Universal USB Creator
[16:19] <chimerical26> oops...these instructions http://goo.gl/vm8eJ
[16:19] <rob__> ok, but i'd like the short name!
[16:19] <usr13> !grub
[16:19] <rob__> e.g 'hardy' rather than 'hardy heron'
[16:19] <pijush> after crash no-desktop ,
[16:19] <everestt> ActionParsnip, "For certain features of the software - but not most - Java is required. Java is notably required for Base."
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> !trash | hypopedata
[16:20] <bazhang> rob_ the animal names? check my link then
[16:20] <rob__> bazhang: that isnt a list of the short names, thats a list of the long names!
[16:20] <histo> chimerical26: have you checked that your iso file is okay?
[16:20] <bazhang> rob__, so subtract one
[16:20] <rob__> bazhang: ah i was wrong, thank you for that link!
[16:21] <pijush> hello usr13
[16:21] <usr13> chimerical26: The grub info was for you.  (My fat finger hit enter and the | symbol at the same time.)
[16:21] <everestt> ActionParsnip, more http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/696/what-features-absolutely-require-java/
[16:21] <usr13> pijush: Yes?
[16:22] <chimerical26> thanks usr13... I'll have a look
[16:22] <_helios_> pijush, did you try sudo apt-get update --fix -missing
[16:22] <pijush> terminal not working any more
[16:22] <_joey> histo: mate, it is still not working. What is the command to remove the network manager?
[16:23] <_helios_> pijush, try pressing ctrl + alt + f1
[16:23] <pijush> @_helios_ and usr13
[16:23] <histo> _joey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[16:23] <_helios_> pijush, it will put you into a shell login and try sudo apt-get update --fix -missing
[16:23] <chimerical26> hhisto....curiously I clicked to download 12.10 and it always downloads 12.04....haven't a clue why the 12.10 link gives me 12.04 but there ya go
[16:23] <usr13> pijush: What did you do?  Was it  do-release-upgrade  ?
[16:23] <_joey> histo: network-manager is NOT installed. It was not installed on my system.
[16:24] <_joey> resolv.conf keeps being updated
[16:24] <_helios_> pijush, press ctrl + alt + f1 it will boot you into a shell where you can login and type sudo apt-get update --fix -missing
[16:24] <histo> _joey: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[16:24] <histo> _joey: and dpkg -l | grep network-manager
[16:24] <usr13> _joey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[16:24] <_helios_> alright guys class is starting gotta go
[16:24] <histo> _joey: that will check if it's installed
[16:24] <_joey> dpkg does not return anything
[16:24] <MonkeyDust> _joey  lsb_release -sd
[16:24] <gianluka> ciao a tutti
[16:24] <_joey> the system is the latest
[16:24] <gianluka> !list
[16:25] <histo> _joey: cat /etc/issue
[16:25] <_joey> histo: ubuntu 12.10
[16:25] <ogra_> _joey, sudo apt-get remove resolvconf
[16:25] <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)
[16:26] <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
[16:27] <_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
[16:28] <_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] <usr13> !paste | _joey
[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
[16:29] <histo> _joey: and stop it from dynamically updating. Although I don't know how it is
[16:29] <ogra_> _joey, nope
[16:29] <histo> _joey: especially since network-manager is removed.
[16:29] <jarlath> Does anyone know how to run nautilus as a different user? Tried gksudo but it's asking for a password and the account in question has none.
[16:30] <usr13> jarlath: You have a user account with no password?
[16:30] <histo> ogra_: when did this behavior start?
[16:30] <ogra_> 12.04 i think
[16:30] <usr13> jarlath: What exactly are you needing to do?
[16:30] <ogra_> might have been before
[16:30] <_joey> llutz: let me try. I will be right back.
[16:31] <jarlath> usr13: Yes, it has media and xbmc on it. I need to log in as this user (from my 'jarlath' login) and transfer files to the partition that is owned by 'movies'.
[16:31] <NaGeL> hello. I havea problem with my ubuntu. i installed it on an old computer. andi use ethernet to cnnect it to my router. now my router gives it az IP throught DHCP. a reserved one. this is fine, but wheni start up the PC ubuntu getsa total random IP that doesnt work at all. Butwhen i click on disconect wired network and reconnect it it magically works
[16:32] <joey_> problem is solved
[16:32] <usr13> jarlath: Maybe you should just change ownership of the files. Or, remount it rw
[16:32] <joey_> llutz: solution worked perfectly
[16:32] <histo> ogra_: If my understanding of the resolvconf package is correct he would only experience that if he is using dhcp
[16:32] <llutz> joey_: thats what resolvconf is for
[16:33] <jarlath> usr13: That sounds okay. Could I add myself to the same group that owns the partition and thereby inherit the permissions?
[16:33] <usr13> jarlath: There you go....
[16:33] <linelevel> Hi guys. I'm building a new desktop and would like everything on my drive to be encrypted. In the past I've used TrueCrypt, but would like something that works more seamlessly. How should I go about this?
[16:34] <clad> Hi ! I'd like to report an annoying bug: two fresh install on my system, then doing nothing but choosing the proprietary amd driver from the software center. Both time after restart I get no interface at all, only the wallpaper.
[16:34] <usr13> jarlath: Just remember that you'll need to log out and back in again before having the benifit of those changes.
[16:34] <jarlath> usr13: thanks.
[16:35] <compdoc> clad, happens sometimes. Might be best to use the Ubuntu driver
[16:35] <clad> Right click still work and by clicking "change the background image" then "all setting" I can get back to the software center and select back the open source driver
[16:35] <skp1_> how do i re=install a program (gwibber) in ubuntu 12.10?
[16:35] <usr13> skp1_: sudo apt-get install apt-name
[16:36] <NaGeL>  hello. I havea problem with my ubuntu. i installed it on an old computer. andi use ethernet to cnnect it to my router. now my router gives it az IP throught DHCP. a reserved one. this is fine, but wheni start up the PC ubuntu getsa total random IP that doesnt work at all. Butwhen i click on disconect wired network and reconnect it it magically works
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> skp1_: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gwqibber
[16:36] <clad> compdoc: so nothing can be done ? I don't have any special or exotic hardware, just a standard radeon 6870
[16:36] <usr13> skp1_: Oh, you want to uninstall and then install again?
[16:37] <usr13> skp1_: Like  apt-get --reinstall apt-name  ?
[16:37] <pijush> thanks usr13 and _helios_
[16:37] <compdoc> clad, where did you get the driver? you might go to the AMD website and try the latest one
[16:37] <ubuntu64bit_> anyone else having like video feed lock up problems when like the automatic update stops the video feed and doesn't remember where it left off and freezes and locks up>?
[16:37] <usr13> NP
[16:38] <pijush> :)
[16:38] <clad> compdoc, I don't dare trying again, last try I had the system wouldn't even boot again (not even giving me a command prompt)

[16:46] <karboh_> Is there any way in ubuntu to choose whether to use the onboard graphics or the separate card?
[16:47] <karboh_> unfortunately there is no setting in the BIOS
[16:47] <karboh_> (on asus zenbook 500vz)
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> karboh_: is it an nvidia gpu?
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> karboh_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[16:49] <karboh_> yes
[16:50] <karboh_> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:50] <usr13> karboh_: Most PCs will automatically use the separate card if you put one in and plug the monitor into it.
[16:50] <pijush> there is really wired problem on some samsung laptop, specially 3 series ,, during the installation of ubuntu or destro based on ubuntu and fedora ,, screen get burned
[16:51] <pijush> is there any reported bug
[16:51] <pijush> ?
[16:52] <drPoo> hi, howwhere do i add a script to be executed at reboot?
[16:52] <cousteau> just in case I end up needing it, how do I boot as root so that I can modify / ?
[16:52] <cousteau> booting as root mounts / in read-only and I'm not sure how to re-mount it as r/w
[16:53] <usr13> pijush: What is it doing?
[16:53] <linelevel> cousteau: No need. `sudo` does not require a password when running a LiveCD.
[16:53] <cousteau> linelevel, I didn't mention any livecd
[16:53]  * Sm0kEz__ is back (work) Duration: 7hrs 37mins 39secs
[16:53] <linelevel> cousteau: d'oh. not sure why I assumed that.
[16:54] <usr13> pijush: ... or not doing...?
[16:54] <cousteau> (I guess I could use a live cd...  learn how to use chroot...  etc)
[16:54] <Tex_Nick> drPoo : /etc/rc.local
[16:54] <cousteau> linelevel, thanks anyway  :D
[16:54] <pijush> @usr13 after the insertion of disk , (boot from cd/dvd) screen get burn and nothing happening
[16:55] <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?
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: got paper
[16:58] <usr13> !nomodeset | pijush
[16:59] <usr13> drPoo: Yes.  (above the line that says  exit 0
[16:59] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, I'm not going to use it right now, it's more curiosity and "let's learn this just in case"
[16:59] <drPoo> usr13, then do I have to use update-rc to activateit?
[16:59] <xevwork> Can someone explain how the Ubuntu installer automatically detects the timezone?
[17:00] <usr13> drPoo: NO.  But do these aps run as user or admin?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: its good to know
[17:00] <pijush> ubottu and usr13 thanks guys! :)
[17:00] <drPoo> usr13, admin
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: could even make a script to run it :)
[17:00] <usr13> drPoo: Ok good.
[17:00] <pijush> ubottu ok
[17:01] <ProfesorBacon> test
[17:01] <pijush> i know :D
[17:01] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, paranoid me tells me that unmounting the drive where the script is stored is not a good idea
[17:01] <railsraider> i am trying to put a variable in awk but its not parsing metric=used_memory_human echo "$info" | awk -F : '$1 == "$metric" {print $2}'
[17:01] <cousteau> Prof. Bacon:  test successful
[17:01] <railsraider> how do i get that $metric to parse inside the awk
[17:02] <Tex_Nick> ProfesorBacon : this channel is working ... ask your question :-)
[17:02] <ania> xevwork, hi are u there?
[17:03] <xevwork> ania: Yes.
[17:03] <ania> do you still wait for answer?
[17:03] <ProfesorBacon> the beach
[17:04] <usr13> ProfesorBacon: You may be on the wrong chanel. This chanel is for Ubuntu Support.
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: its loaded in RAM so is ok. The mount command is on the same partition, but you seem to think that's ok too...?
[17:05] <llutz> railsraider: awk -F : '{ ($1 == "$metric") }{print $2}'
[17:05] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, because that's what google told me
[17:05] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, also, mount is an executable, not a script
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> cousteau: the script is copied to the ram, then the mount command is, then its ran. no problem
[17:07] <v0lksman> usr13: never came back to thank you.  32 bit libs for my printer problem worked like a charm...
[17:08] <nisio> Does anybody now how to install ktechlabs on ubuntu?
[17:08] <progallo> Hi im totally new on Ubuntu can somebody help me? im having troubles with my mouse its a wireless logitech
[17:09] <cousteau> ActionParsnip, I once saw a weird behavior in some programming language when the source was modified while the script was running
[17:10] <cousteau> however I think it was Python, and the weird behavior was just in the error message that showed you the origin of the error
[17:10] <donttrustem> guys .. I have an matchbook pro Processor  2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I am trying to find the correct image for it
[17:10] <xevwork> ania: Yes, I'm still waiting for an answer. I'd like to know how the Ubuntu installer is automatically determining the timezone.
[17:11] <CGI1530> where should i go to ask about ubuntu os for a specific phone?
[17:11] <donttrustem> CGI1530: ubunto-phone
[17:11] <cousteau> CGI1530, there's no ubuntu phone yet, I think
[17:11] <cousteau> only some plans for it
[17:11] <donttrustem> sorry ubuntu-phone
[17:12] <newphreak> Hello, after i moved to ubuntu 12.04 lts server, my raid performance have dropped, and when i ran some DD speedtests i get 13-14MB/s which is really low
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> CGI1530  #ubuntu-phone
[17:12] <CGI1530> the os is out there just wanna see if anyone has tried it on mine yet or if i get to be the guinea pig... lol
[17:12] <newphreak> i have encrypted software raid5, and an intel i5 cpu with aes instructions, so i have loaded the aesni_intel module
[17:12] <newphreak> but what on earth could be the source of my slow speeds?
[17:13] <donttrustem> cousteau: it is due for release 15 feb only for the galaxy nexus
[17:13] <donttrustem> can someone point me to the correct image for a macbook pro Processor  2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
[17:14] <SwedeMike> donttrustem: correct image of what? doesn't the regular one work?
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> !mac| SwedeMike start here
[17:14] <SwedeMike> MonkeyDust: thanks, but I wasn't the one asking.
[17:14] <MonkeyDust> !mac| donttrustem start here
[17:16] <progallo> hey would someone help a beginer? im having problems with my mouse
[17:17] <progallo> its a logitech one
[17:17] <progallo> has lost connection, but the keyboard still works
[17:17] <jhutchins> Oracle's got a patch out for Java.
[17:18] <donttrustem> MonkeyDust: I have a MacBooK Pro 2,2 but it is not listed on that page
[17:18] <ania> xevwork, during installation ubuntu is asking to configure network.....than it knows......your location....other solution maybe ....location of server apt during update?...or location of iso ...downloaded.....or bios settings?
[17:19] <xevwork> ania: time zone data is not stored in the bios.
[17:19] <ogra_> xevwork, it uses geoip
[17:21] <xevwork> ogra_: Thanks.
[17:23] <cousteau> progallo, wireless mouse?
[17:23] <progallo> yeah}
[17:24] <progallo> its a logitech M185
[17:24] <progallo> the keyboard is still running but the mouse stoped sudenly after i instal some upgrades on ubuntu
[17:25] <progallo> I have 2 OS windos 7 is th other
[17:25] <cousteau> and it doesn't work on windows either?
[17:25] <scarra3> I have been thinking about making the switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.10 but I heard there are installation problems where people have to repair something in the boot process
[17:25] <progallo> it stoped working on windows too, how can i test it
[17:25] <progallo> thats right
[17:26] <cousteau> I'd rather suspect it has to do with the battery or the receiver not being correctly connected to the PC
[17:26] <MonkeyDust> progallo  the batteries ran out?
[17:26] <progallo> no man i checked that, totally new batteries
[17:26] <progallo> i also disconected the receiver
[17:26] <progallo> and change the usb port
[17:27] <progallo> but still nohing
[17:27] <cousteau> progallo, well, I don't think it's a software problem
[17:28] <cousteau> not like Ubuntu can make the mouse not work on Windows
[17:28] <JD_543> is this the help channel?
[17:29] <adlez> yeah
[17:29] <circle> guys, are window managers installed instead of desktop environments
[17:29] <circle> or on top of desktop environments
[17:29] <MonkeyDust> circle  on top of
[17:29] <circle> MonkeyDust: ok, and a DE like XFCE, will that come with a window manager
[17:30] <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
[17:31] <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] <ogra_> sure
[17:31] <brecker_> anyone that has knowledge about raids (dmraid and mdadm), can take a look at this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VLJBfYpr and tell me what I'm doing wrong
[17:32] <cousteau> (Openbox is the window manager of LXDE)
[17:32] <Ankit> 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60
[17:32] <Ankit> not working
[17:32] <cousteau> those *-desktop are just ubuntu variations
[17:32] <ogra_> but you wont find  a DE without window manager :)
[17:32] <ogra_> indeed you can replace the WM
[17:32] <Ankit> 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60
[17:32] <Ankit> not working
[17:33] <Ankit> 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60 13 * * * * /usr/sbin/rtcwake -m mem -s 60
[17:34] <histo> !paste | Ankit
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> !paste | Ankit
[17:35] <cousteau> Ankit, have you tried pasting it more times?  maybe that way it starts working.  Whatever you do, don't try giving us more info of what you want or why it's not working.
[17:35] <JD_543> http://pastebin.com/FXbs4uxf I'm having trouble with firestorm viewer
[17:38] <scarra3> I have been thinking about making the switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.10 but I heard there are installation problems where people have to repair something in the boot process
[17:38] <Ankit> who should reply
[17:39] <Ankit> anyone
[17:39] <MonkeyDust> scarra3  it's the grub, you have to repair it, if you installed ubuntu first
[17:39] <cousteau> Ankit, well, maybe nobody knows the answer
[17:39] <cousteau> or didn't understand the question
[17:39] <scarra3> MonkeyDust: I havent installed it yet but will I get the install problem?
[17:39] <llutz> !details | ania
[17:39] <cousteau> anyway, annoyingly repeating the question won't get you more people listen to you
[17:40] <llutz> whoops, sry ania wrong nick
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> scarra3  first win, then lin -> won't give problems
[17:42] <scarra3> MonkeyDust: First win then linux what do you mean
[17:42] <scarra3> I am going to fully wipe my system
[17:42] <syrelyre> hey guys, i just updated to java 1.7.0_11 and java -version reports that version aswell but firefoxs' about:plugins page still says 1.7.0_10
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> scarra3  then there's no problem
[17:43] <scarra3> MonkeyDust: Ok thanks
[17:43] <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
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <cousteau> bennett1, maybe man shadow
[17:45] <bennett1> man shadow doesn't say the algorithm
[17:45] <bennett1> histo: taking a look, thanks
[17:46] <bennett1> histo: doens't say the algorithm either
[17:47] <cousteau> bennett1, I think it might be crypt()
[17:47] <cousteau> man 3 crypt
[17:47] <cousteau> not sure, though
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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?
[17:51] <cousteau> bennett1, those passwords are like   $<algo>$<salt>$<encrypted_password>
[17:52] <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)
[17:53]  * 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 :)
[17:55] <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?
[17:56] <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
[17:57] <sathish> Hi guys, for some reason my laptop is always booting in to Unity 2D :( nVIDIA 610M card
[17:57] <histo> bennett1: where did you jump to that the second perametor is the salt?
[17:57] <bennett1> histo: I didn't understand
[17:57] <bennett1> (sorry, my english is not that great)
[17:57] <histo> bennett1: how did you come up with the second column is salt?
[17:58] <bennett1> what do you mean? It says in the man 3 crypt that the second column is salt
[17:59] <sathish> Hi guys, for some reason my laptop is always booting in to Unity 2D :( nVIDIA 610M card, Installed nvidia-current followed instructions from forums, no luck. What should I do?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> sathish: what CPU do you use?
[18:00] <sathish> ActionParsnip: core i3 second gen
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> sathish: which one, there are many
[18:00] <histo> bennett1: ahh I didn't see that my first browse through
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> sathish: cat /proc/cpuinfo    will tell you
[18:00] <sathish> ActionParsnip: Intel® Core™ i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> sathish: is the system a laptop too?
[18:01] <SonikkuAmerica> cousteau: How could (in the example noted above) the string "abc" be put into <salt>? It says that <salt> is a TWO-character string
[18:01] <SonikkuAmerica> (in the manpage)
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> sathish: you have a switchable GPU (optimus)
[18:01] <sathish> ActionParsnip: yes, Asus laptop
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> sathish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> sathish: it can be a real headache to get working, imho its best avoided
[18:02] <sathish> ActionParsnip: I just installed bumblebee with nvidia current
[18:02] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: I assume it was named Bumblebee because someone got all TransFormers happy? :)
[18:03] <Sail>  /exit
[18:03] <bennett1> about MD5 hashes: do they contain special characters, or just a-z and 0-9?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> sathish: oesn't the wiki not mention nvidia-current
[18:03] <bennett1> and they are case insensitive, right?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: I think its a dirty hack, not worth the heartache
[18:03] <histo> bennett1: yeah I don't think that the second field is the salt
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> bennett1: all alphanumeric
[18:03] <sathish> ActionParsnip: is there anyhot key to switch between different graphic cards? I know this is a stupid question, but my neighbour kid was handling keyboard like crazy :|
[18:04] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: At least Unity 3D works with my Mobile Intel GMA965 chip. That I am thankful for.
[18:04] <histo> bennett1: $hashtype$ start of encrypted pass $....
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> sathish: read the guide, it answers that
[18:04] <histo> bennett1: int eh shaodw file
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: if you like Unity.. ;)
[18:04] <SlOw_> can i ask a question
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> SlOw_: you just did ;)
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> SlOw_: ask away
[18:05] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: I prefer GNOME Shell Remix myself, but right now it's errors, errors everywhere!
[18:05] <sathish> ActionParsnip: I installed nvidia-current also bumblebee also tried to install driver from nvidia nothing worked. but these are all out of some forum, now going to the guide
[18:05] <histo> bennett1: no you were right second set is the salt
[18:05] <SonikkuAmerica> !ask | Sl0w_
[18:05] <bennett1> histo: yes
[18:05] <histo> bennett1: salt is limited to 16 characters
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> sathish: you don't want nvidia-current with bumblebee, again, the guide tells you what to do
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> sathish: why not use the guide, rather than try to guess
[18:06] <SlOw_> I have tried mint linux 64 bit. zorin os 64 bit. all fast. i have installed just ubuntu 12.10 64bit on the same machine clean installs. and it runs slow slow.ansd
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: I use fluxbox, no desktop slowing the place down
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> SlOw_: what video chip do you use?
[18:06] <SlOw_> I am on it now.no programs added nothing running and it is just slow and like being on windows.lol
[18:06] <SlOw_> nvida
[18:07] <Eagleman> How do i autofill this?  user >>@FQDN.tld<<  in postfix?
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> SlOw_: did you install the nvidia-current package
[18:07] <SlOw_> I guess i am wonder how the other 2 off shoots of ubuntu can run so fast and just ubuntu is slow.i really want to run just ubuntu.
[18:07] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: Can't say I was attracted to the you-start-off-with-a-blank-screen-and-it's-up-to-you-to-customize-every-little-aspect-of-it-including-how-many-dead-spiders-are-in-the-windowsills type.
[18:07] <Eagleman> so people are able to use user only
[18:07] <SlOw_> @actionparsnip NO
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: makes a faster OS using fewer resources :)
[18:08] <Marscr> my bluetooth doesn't work i have a HP 430 netbook
[18:08] <SlOw_> It is running on the nvida driver.and tried it without the driver.no changes
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> Marscr: if you run:  cat /etc/issue     what is output?
[18:08] <bennett1> people who find Ubuntu slow should try Xubuntu, it's just great
[18:08] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: True enough though... *checks to see if there are exactly 42 dead spiders on the windowsill of his desktop*
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> SlOw_: if you run nvidia-settings   doe sit say the driver is loaded and in use, or do you get an error?
[18:09] <SlOw_> james@ubuntu-machine:~$  cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l  james@ubuntu-machine:~$
[18:09] <tion> can i setup costume resolutions using the file monitors.xml ?
[18:09] <tion> im using nvidia driver
[18:09] <SlOw_> @actionparsnip says nvida driver active
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/raring.png
[18:10] <mrwappie> ......................................................................................................................................
[18:10] <histo> bennett1: you can go even lighter than xubuntu if you want. I'm currently running awesome wm
[18:10] <brecker_> anyone knows how to troubleshoot dmraid or mdadm?
[18:11] <tion> can i setup costume resolutions using the file monitors.xml ?
[18:11] <tion> im using nvidia driver
[18:11] <smt> can anybody tell me why the hell i get only ~14MB/s transfer rates using nfs over a gigabit network?
[18:11] <SonikkuAmerica> ActionParsnip: A) You're running the 13.04 beta? and B) Looks a bit shiny, but the window manager decor reminds me of an Apple II.
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: yeah been on raring sinnovember
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> SonikkuAmerica: i use xcompmgr to get compoziting then I run docky
[18:12] <SonikkuAmerica> No Compiz... e.e
[18:13] <SonikkuAmerica> mrwappie: ?
[18:13] <dwatkins> ActionParsnip: what decor is that, or is it gnome with a theme?

[18:19] <bencc> blkadder: you mean something vbox? I was thinking more in the direction of chroot
[18:19] <ZenMasta> is wsftpd pretty much the main ftp server people use?
[18:19] <bencc> blkadder: using a VM will be too heavy
[18:19] <blkadder> Unlikely.
[18:19] <SierraAR> Anybody know how I can reformat a flash drive in ubuntu 12.04 64-bit? I need to reformat it into an FAT system
[18:19] <skp1> SierraAR: try gparted

[18:20] <ActionParsnip> tion: should be ok. try a reboot
[18:20] <bencc> blkadder: but I'll need to create separate VM for each execution

[18:21] <ActionParsnip> sathish: sweet

[18:22] <blkadder> I wouldn't want that running directly on a host.
[18:22] <bencc> blkadder: which VM is relatively easy to use and can be scriptable?
[18:23] <blkadder> bencc: Well ubuntu supports kvm out of the box.
[18:23] <mrwappie> 0.
[18:23] <bencc> blkadder: thanks. I'll read about it
[18:23] <blkadder> Sure, np.
[18:24] <mrwappie> hi all i am nieuw to ubuntu i installed ubuntu 8.0 right now can you tell me how to bring hibrate back in the shutdown menu
[18:25] <blkadder> Ubuntu 8.0? Unlikely.
[18:25] <mrwappie> i know just kidding
[18:25] <tion> it worked!
[18:25] <mrwappie> running 12.04 with a plugin for hibrate
[18:25] <blkadder> :-)
[18:25] <mrwappie> :)
[18:25] <tion> no more 640x480
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> tion: you have a cheap monitor which isn't reporting EDID
[18:25] <tion> thats what ive said
[18:26] <tion> yesterdsay
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> tion: so you have told your X server what to do rather than have the monitor tell the OS what it can do
[18:26] <mrwappie> you are sure you are not running windows xp safe modes? rofl
[18:26] <blkadder> Is "hibrate" like vibrate? I suppose a plugin to make your laptop vibrate could be useful...
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> blkadder: dildobuntu
[18:27] <blkadder> LOL
[18:27] <mrwappie> they dropt it out with the 12.04 version
[18:27] <mrwappie> dilbuntu
[18:27] <tion> but i cant change the resolution on the nvidia control panel
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> tion: run:  gksudo nvidia-settings    set the res to something as normal then click 'save to x config file'
[18:28] <bencc> blkadder: I'll have to run a real OS on the VM, right? wouldn't that require a lot of resources?
[18:28] <SierraAR> ActionParsnip, gparted doesnt seem to detect the flash drive
[18:28] <blkadder> bencc: Ubuntu is a real OS.
[18:29] <tion> Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:
[18:29] <tion> The NVIDIA X driver on pinguz-desktop:0.0 is not new
[18:29] <tion> enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.
[18:29] <bencc> blkadder: so I'll need to run ubuntu as a guest?
[18:29] <blkadder> Just install the kvm bits on Ubuntu and create VMs...
[18:29] <blkadder> Yes.
[18:29] <bencc> blkadder: inside the VM and with it run the untrusted script
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> tion: is this pinguy OS?
[18:29] <bencc> blkadder: that will require hundrads of MBs
[18:30] <tion> no
[18:30] <blkadder> bencc: And?
[18:30] <bencc> blkadder: too much
[18:30] <tion> ubuntu 12
[18:30] <SierraAR> Nevermind, found the refresh devices button
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> tion: you can set the res in /etc/X11/xorg.conf    I can give you mine as a sample
[18:30] <bencc> blkadder: I won't be able to run several VMS like this
[18:30] <Eagleman> SHould i make a rewrite rule for adding www or to remove www for my apache2 website?
[18:30] <bencc> blkadder: and if one client will try to do something dirty, it'll kill the VM
[18:30] <tion> ok thanks
[18:31] <blkadder> bencc: What exactly are you trying to do and on what hardware? Why do you think you need more than one VM?
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> tion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1531430/
[18:32] <blkadder> If all you are looking to do is run this compile your own code app, then I don't think you'll need a bunch of VMs....
[18:32] <bencc> blkadder: a webservice that run untrusted user's code from multiple users in the same time
[18:33] <blkadder> Sure, so create a single VM.
[18:33] <brecker_> anyone that has worked with dmraid or mdadm online?
[18:33] <bencc> blkadder: but if one user do something dirty, it'll kill the VM
[18:34] <blkadder> bencc: So place resource constraints elsewhere so it doesn't kill the VM?
[18:34] <cocomo> hi, is there a way to downgrade to ubuntu 12.04 from 12.10?
[18:34] <skp1> no
[18:34] <cocomo> 9.9
[18:34] <bencc> blkadder: that's my original question. how do I do that?
[18:35] <brecker_> or can anyone come up with a way to recover files from a two discs windows fakeraid?
[18:35] <usr13> cocomo: Nope.  Fresh install
[18:35] <ophuk> I'm having a permissions issue. I have a external hard drive mounted under /media with 775 permissions. Yet I am not allowed to execute commands on it
[18:35] <cocomo> usr13: am doing exactly that, downloading 12.04
[18:35] <usr13> cocomo: LTS is good.
[18:35] <cocomo> usr13: is there a way keep my installed packages?
[18:36] <usr13> cocomo: No
[18:36] <blkadder> bencc: Well assuming you are using Apache, it has the ability to control resource utilization.
[18:36] <ophuk> also the file i'm trying to execute has the permissions of 777
[18:36]  * cocomo regrets the day when he clicked the upgrade button
[18:37] <llutz> ophuk: is it mounted with "noexec" or "user" option?
[18:37] <usr13> ophuk: So, what command are you trying execute?
[18:37] <blkadder> But that doesn't help mitigate the potential security issues with allowing people to compile and execute random code on your server.
[18:37] <cocomo> usr13: is there any bootable usb installer for ubuntu that i can run from ubuntu
[18:37] <ophuk> usr13: ./test.sh, test.sh is a bash script that does pwd.
[18:38] <ophuk> llutz: umm...not sure how do I check that?
[18:38] <llutz> ophuk: "mount"
[18:38] <usr13> cocomo: There is a bootable USB installer that you can boot to.
[18:38] <BluesKaj> cocomo, you reteive you package settings during an upgrade by using a / partition for the OS  and /home partition for your data ..remember that option the next time you upgrade
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> cocomo: like unetbootin you mean?
[18:38] <usr13> ophuk: ls -l test.sh    #Show us.
[18:38] <ophuk> llutz: it is mounted with noexec, how do I take taht off
[18:38] <cocomo> ActionParsnip: yes
[18:39] <llutz> ophuk: sudo mount -o remount,exec /mountpoint
[18:39] <ophuk> usr13: -rwxrwxrwx 1 srinivasan root 15 Jan 14 13:24 test.sh
[18:39] <tion> what does xdiagnose do because i click it and nothing happends
[18:39] <usr13> ophuk: pastebinit test.sh   #Send resulting URL.
[18:39] <ophuk> llutz: easy enough. Thanks! Is noexec the default?
[18:39] <llutz> ophuk: depends on the filesystem, on non-unix-fs it is afaik
[18:40] <usr13> ophuk: Did you try   sh test.sh    ?
[18:40] <ophuk> llutz: it's ext4
[18:40] <ophuk> usr13: I think we figured it out
[18:40] <cocomo> ActionParsnip: ty
[18:40] <usr13> ophuk: Ok.  Cool
[18:40] <DexterF> hi
[18:40] <ophuk> usr13: thank you for your help!
[18:40] <usr13> NP
[18:40] <ophuk> llutz: thank you for your help!
[18:40] <DexterF> in networkmanager, how can I tell it to use another ip rage for connection sharing?
[18:43] <usr13> DexterF: You have a NIC to use for it?
[18:43] <DexterF> usr13: yes. it's already running, but I need it to use a different address
[18:44] <usr13> DexterF: Well, how ever you configured it, just start over and choose new IPs.
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: you will need 2 devices, on e to get the connection and one to share it
[18:45] <usr13> ActionParsnip: He says he's already got that part done.
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: you will need to set the sharing interface to static IP using the network manager, as there will be no DHCP service around
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> usr13: thanks
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: inter the interface, set the interface to manual and you can define the networking there
[18:46] <DexterF> ill check that...
[18:46] <usr13> DexterF: Did you use IP Masquerading?
[18:47] <usr13> DexterF: Never mind.  I think you've got it now.
[18:48] <kslater> why does the stupid update manager insist that I take a security update for portugeses, chinese and catalan spanish for Firefox? I don't want and don't use any of those languages.
[18:48] <donavan01> Is there a way setup ubuntu on a flash drive install all the stuff I want on the drive and then copy that drive to serveral other identical drives so that each one of them can boot and run just like the orginal?
[18:48] <DexterF> nah, doesnt work
[18:48] <usr13> kslater: Uninstall them.
[18:48] <DexterF> once I go for "shared" it discards any manual settings
[18:48] <Bsims> kslater: I'll bet you have the lion packages for firefox installed
[18:48] <kslater> yeah. I'll have to
[18:49] <usr13> DexterF: You are not sharing that one.
[18:49] <NuSuey> question: I got ati radeon HD 6850.. in windows, the integrated card works (have HDMI output in it) .. but in ubuntu, I cannot see its video output  .. any suggestions?
[18:49] <jimi_> Can anyone recommend a pdf to html converter, that will keep form fields ?
[18:49] <Bsims> donavan01: yeah set the flash to boot persistant until you have the packages you want installed then copy the thumbdrive to another one
[18:50] <NuSuey> its this PC  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02741889&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5068976#N281
[18:50] <DexterF> usr13: fact that this machine connects to it and thus to the internet proves different
[18:50] <usr13> DexterF: ifconfig | pastebinit
[18:50] <Bsims> donavan01: you may try using dd to make an iso of the flashdrive
[18:51] <donavan01> Bsims ... yeah I guess and ISO would work hadnt thought about that
[18:51] <usr13> DexterF: Do you have a firewall script?
[18:51] <kslater> of course now it says it needs a reboot to finish the update. Not happening you stinking machine.
[18:51] <Bsims> donavan01: I'd use lili to burn the usb drive, its very slick and even will install and configure portable virtualbox to use the cd image
[18:51] <donavan01> one other question ... does ubuntu store the most common drivers on the live discs or are they something that needs to be downloaded
[18:52] <Bsims> donavan01: its on the live disks
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> jimi_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-convert-pdf-files-to-html-files.html
[18:52] <donavan01> Good deal Bsims ... thats for the info
[18:52] <sexyboy> helloo
[18:52] <donavan01> sorry thanks
[18:53] <jimi_> ActionParsnip: it doesn't keep fillable form fields :/
[18:53] <DexterF> usr13: http://pastebin.com/QgwCA8ek
[18:53] <usr13> DexterF: You are going to have to explain the configuration you have in more detail before we can give you any specific advise.
[18:53] <DexterF> usr13: no fw
[18:54] <odo2063> hi
[18:54] <odo2063> my /dev/rfcomm* are gone and i dont know where they went!
[18:54] <usr13> DexterF: So eth0 is the one that is connected to the Internet.  Right?
[18:54] <odo2063> 11.10
[18:54] <DexterF> usr13: isp went down, intermediate solution: laptop with umts card connects to internet, shares eth0 to network. only uses 10.42.0.0/24
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: oneiric is EOL in April, I recommend you upgrade soon
[18:55] <odo2063> ActionParsnip,  me dont becaue of qucs
[18:55] <jimi_> ActionParsnip: all you get is ">Warning: This form is not supported with the current version of Acrobat or Adobe Reader.<br/> Upgrade to the latest version for full support"
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: if you boot an older kernel, is it ok?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: what is 'qucs'' please?
[18:55] <usr13> DexterF: So, I got it backwards.  hso0  is the internet connection.  Right?
[18:56] <jhutchins> DexterF: The answer to your question is that you configure the connection that links to the rest of the local machines to use an address and netmask on that network.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> jimi_: what app are you viewing the file with?
[18:56] <odo2063> ActionParsnip,  http://qucs.sourceforge.net/    it have problems kompiling with newer gcc
[18:56] <jimi_> ActionParsnip: im not viewing it, that is using pdftohtml.... that's in the html
[18:56] <odo2063> it has
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: i see
[18:56] <jhutchins> DexterF: The answer to what you want to do probably has very little to do with network-manager and everything to do with ipmasquerade or NAT and iptables forwarding.
[18:57] <|Anthony|> I'm having serious issue trying to interact with flash based sites. Videos on youtube just don't work and plugin-container crashes
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> jimi_: gotcha
[18:57] <odo2063> ActionParsnip, what if it works with an oldr kernel?
[18:57] <|Anthony|> what are we supposed to use now that adobe no longer supports linux
[18:57] <jimi_> ActionParsnip: I was trying to take a pdf that has fields you can type it, and convert it to html ... so i could just put it on a website easier :P
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: then there  is a bug with the newer kernel
[18:58]  * eng4l offers free hashshots freebase freestylerz
[18:58] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/rpnpheuh
[18:58] <DexterF> jhutchins: one cannot conf the if from nwm. I think nwm runs its own mini dhcp with fixed values. so boils down to: setup conn sharing manually. I guess rebooting my servers to have them lease a new IP is easier.
[18:58] <odo2063> ActionParsnip,  can we do something about it? except using the old kernel?
[18:58] <usr13> DexterF: So you are attempting to share hso0  via eth0    Right?
[18:59] <DexterF> usr13: yup
[18:59] <DexterF> see above tho
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> odo2063: thatall I can advise personally
[18:59] <smokingfreek> <?php echo"$user" ?>
[18:59] <|Anthony|> lightspark and gnash are production ready last i checked though ActionParsnip
[18:59] <usr13> DexterF: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/firewall.html
[18:59] <smokingfreek> <?php echo"$user" ?>
[18:59] <NuSuey> well.. anybody got a suggestion why my integrated card isnt showing in ubuntu? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02741889&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5068976#N281 .. thats my pc
[18:59] <odo2063> ActionParsnip,  ok i check this now
[19:00] <usr13> DexterF: ... and skip down to "IP Masquerading"
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[19:00]  * eng4l faint
[19:00] <DexterF> usr13: already there....
[19:00] <|Anthony|> and replace it with what ActionParsnip
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin
[19:00] <usr13> DexterF: Ok, what's hangin you up?
[19:01] <DexterF> ActionParsnip: nuh uh! ;)
[19:01] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, i'm assuming that was at me. which partner repo?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> DexterF: it will give you 64bit flash for 64bit OS
[19:02] <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] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: on 12.04 multiverse contains flash
[19:03] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: or did i get the conversation wrong?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: i've always enabled partner. seems to work well
[19:04] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: "well" like something can be when using flash :)
[19:04] <faheem_> need help for ffserver or avserver
[19:04] <BillyZane|2> does anyone know where the log files are kept for kvirc?
[19:04] <faheem_> trying since last 5 days but can not see video streaing
[19:04] <SierraAR> I'm attempting to create a USB boot disk for 12.04 off of a laptop that's currently running ubuntu. But everytime I try doing anything with any of my USB drives, I get this error 'Daemon is inhibited'
[19:05] <usr13> DexterF: pastebinit /etc/ufw/before.rules   #And send resulting URL
[19:05] <SierraAR> I can't mount, unmount, erase or add files, or do anything
[19:05] <DexterF> usr13: it's a 12.04 live DVD. whatever is default, that's what is is
[19:06] <usr13> DexterF: So you are doing this from a LiveDVD?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: I use chjrome, no issues there
[19:06] <DexterF> usr13: yes. this is only until my ISP has its sh*t back together, which will be about around in 16h
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> SierraAR: you can use dd to wipe the USB
[19:07] <NuSuey> ah.. anybody know why my ubuntu is freezing all the time when my RAM gets full (4GB) .. and then I get a mega mega freeze.. can wait for minutes and nothing happens (sometimes I can move my mouse for about one sec every like 15 secs) ..
[19:07] <DexterF> usr13: so I needed only something qucik and dirty to get my mail and stuff, but right now I cannot access my file server
[19:07] <lgc> Hi, why is my xD card not being mounted? It is correctly recognized, though.
[19:07] <usr13> DexterF: I don't know how to do it from a LiveDVD  Sorry.
[19:08] <NuSuey> any suggestion would be helpfull..
[19:08] <DexterF> usr13: well, could install ufw and conf it and all, but just too much effort. thanks for the time anyway
[19:08] <usr13> DexterF: Now, wait.  Is the system runing from a LiveDVD the one that is connected to the Internet?
[19:08] <DexterF> usr13: uh huh
[19:08] <Tex_Nick> NuSuey : strange that 4GB of RAM is overflowing ... you might need to increase your swap
[19:08] <VaultDweller13> hi people, could smbd help with configuring dhcp server with 2 NICs?
[19:09] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: swap is like have it ~ 4.8GB
[19:09] <usr13> DexterF: Yea, ok.. Well.  I suppose you could do it, bit I can't.  (Not from here anyway.)
[19:09] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: meh, missclicked.. so.. ~ swap partition is ~  4.8gb
[19:09] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, yeah... still no good sir
[19:10] <|Anthony|> flash is failing bad
[19:10] <DexterF> usr13: I'd lose the config anyway when powering down. I need to get a router that has an umts option for these scenarios...
[19:10] <VaultDweller13> could smbd help with configuring dhcp server with 2 NICs?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> lgc: when you last removed it from a system, did you safely remove it before pulling it out
[19:10] <usr13> DexterF: Yep
[19:10] <DexterF> |Anthony|: always has been. the sooner it dies and makes way for html5 the better
[19:10] <|Anthony|> youtube in particular had been working ok up until bout 2 weeks ago
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> |Anthony|: tried CHrome?
[19:10] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: plus I hear the HDD constantly during the freeze/lock up..
[19:11] <|Anthony|> ActionParsnip, i did about 4 months ago. didn't like it. i suppose it might be time to test again
[19:11] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: anything else that might help?
[19:11] <Pyrob> Hello everybody. I have just installed Ubuntu alongside Windows. It gets stuck suddenly atleast once per boot.
[19:11] <lgc> ActionParsnip, no, because the mount process has never succeeded.
[19:11] <Pyrob> Can you people help me?
[19:11] <Tex_Nick> NuSuey : that should be enough  swap then ... what does your system monitor show on Resources Tab ?
[19:11] <|Anthony|> DexterF, i agree, but it's still widely used and supported on other platforms. i doubt that the linux desktop market will encourage it's transition
[19:12] <DexterF> usr13: ok, sshfs'ed my way into the file server... this will do until tomorrow...
[19:12] <VaultDweller13> hi people, could smbd help with configuring dhcp server with 2 NICs?
[19:12] <faheem_> hello everyone..-- please help for avserver streaming  -  I have installed libav-tools and also configured avserver.conf file
[19:12] <faheem_> but no streaming all
[19:12] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: well right now the system is still locked up.. im here on my laptop :) but I'll open some task manager so I can look at the ram usage next time
[19:12] <DexterF> |Anthony|: well, it does not suck much less on windows.
[19:13] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: but most of the time this happened was also when I had some flash video open + did other things..
[19:13] <|Anthony|> DexterF, orly?
[19:13] <|Anthony|> didn't realize that
[19:13] <histo> |Anthony|: I'm using google chrom *not* chromium and I haven't had any problems
[19:13] <Tex_Nick> NuSuey : first step would be to find out what's eating your memory
[19:13] <|Anthony|> heh... i just went to pbskids.org and now plugin-container crashed
[19:14] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: can you recommend something? or just use top? :P
[19:14] <|Anthony|> histo, yeah, i know they have builtin support for flash. idk i suppose i'll have to try it
[19:14] <|Anthony|> :/
[19:14] <intel> Hello everybody.
[19:14] <|Anthony|> just not a fan of chrome
[19:14] <|Anthony|> or chromium
[19:14] <Tex_Nick> NuSuey : ah ok ... sometimes VLC hogs my CPU ... i need to kill the process to cure it
[19:15] <histo> |Anthony|: I love it they way I have it configured with vimium etc...
[19:15] <intel> I have a problem with Ubuntu which I installed alongside Windows.
[19:15] <VaultDweller13> hi people, could smbd help with configuring dhcp server with 2 NICs?
[19:15] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: last time i havent ran vlc
[19:15] <intel> Ubuntu gets stuck suddenly.
[19:16] <|Anthony|> funny thing about youtube though... there is no issue at all when i use xbmc to watch youtube vids
[19:16] <|Anthony|> heh
[19:17] <lgc> Hi, why is my xD card not being mounted? It is correctly recognized, though.
[19:17] <VaultDweller13> hi people, could smbd help with configuring dhcp server with 2 NICs?
[19:18] <NuSuey> Tex_Nick: okay.. one type of a lock down..got now.. ran flash in chrome and then guvcviewer .. and was recording video from it.. bang.. lock up..
[19:19] <brecker_> anyone can assist me troubleshoot mdadm after failing to mount two discs in raid?
[19:20] <jhutchins> I thought the google products used html5 instead of flash.
[19:20] <Tex_Nick> NuSuey ; ok i don't know what to tell you ... someone else here can probably help you though ... sorry ... keep asking every every 5 minutes or so :)
[19:21] <NuSuey> :(
[19:22] <Slart> VaultDweller13: what are you trying to do?
[19:23] <brecker_> offering a 1 btc donation to anyone can manage to help me recover some files from two ssds that where used in raid (factory windows raid from a sony notebook) (I'm getting desperate)
[19:23] <VaultDweller13> Slart: i have 3 NIC, first is ISP, second two i want as DHCP subnets
[19:23] <odo2063> my /dev/rfcomm* are still gone!
[19:23] <blkadder> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/dhcp-server-with-multiple-nics-and-subnets-10352/
[19:23] <compdoc> VaultDweller13, easy
[19:24] <histo> |Anthony|: probably an older version of flash in xbmc
[19:24] <histo> |Anthony|: you'll have to see what plugin xbmc is using
[19:24] <VaultDweller13> compdoc: i always loose 1 NIC or both(
[19:24] <Slart> VaultDweller13: I would look at that link that blkadder sent you.. it looks promising
[19:24] <VaultDweller13> compdoc: when i try to config them
[19:24] <blkadder> It has pretty clear instructions.
[19:25] <blkadder> I think they need to add a "let me google that for you" option to the bot if one does not already exist. :-)
[19:25] <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?
[19:26] <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?
[19:27] <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..
[19:28] <blkadder> And is the NIC active/up?
[19:28] <compdoc> VaultDweller13, you can define your own udev rules so it never changes
[19:29] <VaultDweller13> compdoc: i did that) but problem is that dhcp doesnt give leases to both NICs, only on one or other
[19:29] <yann__> _L1
[19:29] <blkadder> Are the NICs on the same subnet or different ones?
[19:29] <VaultDweller13> blkadder: yes, and IP is correct
[19:29] <compdoc> VaultDweller13, can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces   and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules   ?
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <VaultDweller13> blkadder: i tried same but they didnt work
[19:31] <morfeo_81> hi Folks!!
[19:31] <compdoc> VaultDweller13, youre saying with "iface eth1 inet static" the nic isnt being set to those addresses?
[19:32] <VaultDweller13> compdoc: sorry? didnt get the point
[19:33] <morfeo_81> it is normal the "uniti-parrel"  go up 85% of cpu usage?
[19:33] <morfeo_81> I use ubuntu 12.10 and I have the problem on firefox velocity and unity block the system?
[19:33] <blkadder> VaultDweller: I'd like to see your ifconfig output.
[19:34] <compdoc> VaultDweller13, after booting, ifconfig shows only 2 nics? Is that the problem?
[19:34] <VaultDweller13> blkadder: will ip a suit you?
[19:34] <VaultDweller13> compdoc: no no, it shows all 3 nics but there is dhcp only on one
[19:35] <compdoc> well, according to the webpage you posted, youre using static addresses
[19:35] <VaultDweller13> blkadder: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12455220&posted=1#post12455220
[19:35] <VaultDweller13> yes
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Morfeo_81: if you make a fresh ubuntu user is it the same?
 I would try!!
 I would try!! thanks
[19:36] <blkadder> VaultDweller13: That isn't exactly what I am looking for. I want to see what the actual running configuration output is.
[19:36] <VaultDweller13> blkadder: look PM
[19:36] <orudie> hi. how do I get to the keyboard shortcuts screen ?
[19:37] <orudie> its an overview of keyboard shortctus, I remember seeing it somewhere but i forgot how I got to it
[19:37] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: sup
[19:37] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: are you up for a non-working sound card?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Orudie: hold windows key down
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Billy zane|2: my sound trouble shooting is poor at best
[19:38] <BillyZane|2> it's a tough one
[19:39] <morfeo_81> Another thing..iF I WRITE SOMINTHING ON THE BASH WITH "T" i DON'T SEE T BUT ONLY J
[19:40] <awesomess3> Does anyone know of a good free web hosting solution?
[19:40] <orudie> ActionParsnip: can't seem to find a shortcut to switch between keyboard languages
[19:41] <Guest18166> chi
[19:43] <orudie> what is a keyboard shortcut to switch between languages in ubuntu ?
[19:45] <angs> how can I see if a file is executable or not?
[19:47] <llutz> angs: "test -x yourfile && echo executable" or "ls -l yourfile" and check for --x
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Orudie: I believe you can set it in keyboard settings
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Morfeo_81: lose the caps please
[19:48] <ernest_> hi everyone
[19:48] <angs> llutz: I do chmod +x to a file however I don't see --x http://pastebin.com/b3x7Qjyh . am I doing something wrong?
[19:49] <llutz> angs: thats a non-unix filesystem? you cannot chown/chmod then
[19:50] <ernest_> i need a little help please
[19:50] <awesomess3> ernest_, what do you need?
[19:50] <angs> llutz: it is fat32. do I need to make it ext2?
[19:50] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: omg, my video card really does have drivers. my outbound sound is set to HDMI,
[19:50] <llutz> angs: what do you want to do exactly?
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <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
[19:55] <angs> dr_willis: thank you. how can I make only one file executable? or is it easier to change fat32 to ext2?
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <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
[19:58] <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?
[19:59] <dr_willis> ernest_:  drivers for what devices ?
[19:59] <ernest_> I cant use my HDMI port, i put mirror and my tv doesnt display anything
[19:59] <dr_willis> ernest_:  and your video chipset is?
[20:00] <ernest_> give me a second
[20:02] <kale> what was the default wm in 10.04LTS? how do i get that in 12.04LTS?
[20:03] <awesomess3> kale, I believe it's gnome
[20:03] <dkim1987> hey guys
[20:03] <dr_willis> kale:  gnome2 is basically dead. theres a fallback mode thats similer but NOT identical in 12+
[20:03] <dkim1987> is it possible to setup access to nfs using rsa key?
[20:03] <awesomess3> kale, try `apt-cache search gnome | sort | grep gnome`
[20:03] <ernest_> dr_willis its an ati radeon
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> dkim1987 rsa key is for ssh, not for nfs, i guess
[20:04] <dkim1987> i see
[20:04] <Bsims> I am looking to backup my running system to a compressed iso... with the intention of using a usb live installer to make it a live usb device... any suggestions?
[20:04] <dkim1987> i'm looking for a way to authorize nfs access much like rsa key style
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> dkim1987  nfs is for mounting remote drives locally
[20:04] <dkim1987> yes
[20:04] <kale> dr_willis: and gnome is gnome3?
[20:04] <dkim1987> and nfs server has hosts.allow, hosts.deny, and exports file that determines the access
[20:04] <disharmonic> Cinnamon is quite similar to Gnome 2 imo
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> dkim1987  ubuntu server?
[20:05] <dkim1987> centos and ubuntu
[20:05] <dkim1987> but centos channel is kinda dead, so i decided to start here
[20:05] <Slart> dkim1987: last time I checked into this one of the flaws of nfs was the rather weak security protocols.. it might have changed since then or I might have been bad at reading
[20:05] <roll> hi all, I have a strange error in Ubuntu: I can resolve internet hostname only in Firefox and with ping, as root. I can use other software, have you got any idea?
[20:05] <dkim1987> nfs still sucks with security
[20:05] <KRISTENBB_> my icons on the left are not visible anymore. How to restart the unity bar on the left without restarting ubuntu ? I tried 'alt+f2' and 'unity', but it's still the same.
[20:05] <roll> *can't use
[20:06] <dkim1987> i am using chef and all the chef node will have to access a nfs system we have
[20:06] <MonkeyDust> KRISTENBB_  try unity --restart
[20:06] <dkim1987> but i dont want to allow everyone either
[20:06] <Loshki> dkim1987: check out http://www.math.ualberta.ca/imaging/snfs/ and the like...
[20:06] <Bsims> kale: Id go with either mint or xfce if you want a light dm
[20:06] <dkim1987> k i'll read it now
[20:06] <kale> Bsims: i just want something a regular windows user would understand
[20:06] <histo> kale: it was gnome2
[20:07] <dkim1987> thanks
[20:07] <KRISTENBB_> MonkeyDust: it's worse than just 'unity', it doesn't even reload the windows. It just doesn't do anything.
[20:07] <Bsims> kale: xfce is very similar to windows xp
[20:07] <kale> Bsims: indeed
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Roll: try:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
[20:07] <histo> kale: I would look at some screen shots of xfce, lxde, mint all are kind of menu driven
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Roll: then yry web access
[20:07] <histo> kale: most windows users are okay with 12.04 just tell them to hit the windows key
[20:08] <MonkeyDust> KRISTENBB_  then you should start giving details, from the beginning and in one line
[20:08] <Slart> dkim1987: this article looks interesting.. it mentions a new authentication scheme for nfs v4 http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-nfs-security.html
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> Kale: kde is a lot like windows. It's not light though
[20:09] <KRISTENBB_> What details are you interested in ? I'm running ubuntu 12.04 desktop. I don't know what caused this, I didn't do anything extraordinary.
[20:09] <kale> ActionParsnip: i think kde is too slow
[20:09] <KRISTENBB_> MonkeyDust: ^
[20:09] <Bsims> ActionParsnip: heh I've had windows users ask me what version of windows I was running as kde looked so slick
[20:09] <kale> i'll go try out the gnome meta package
[20:09] <MonkeyDust> !details | KRISTENBB_ this is what we mean by details
[20:09] <roll> ActionParsnip: you mean I should disconnect and than reconnect?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Kale: lxde is light
[20:09] <OerHeks> Bsims same here
[20:09] <roll> ActionParsnip: after the writing file
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Roll: just run the command then try web access
[20:10] <Bsims> OerHeks: I've gotten windows 7 rather close, but havnt found anything like the folder view plasmoid
[20:10] <roll> ActionParsnip: if i try ping in another terminal session, still doesn't work
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Bsims: yeah. Windows is the only OS :)
[20:11] <roll> firefox goes
[20:11] <KRISTENBB_> MonkeyDust: I have a problem with the unity icon bar on the left. I'm running ubuntu version 12.04. When I try to do 'alt+f2' and 'unity' I get the following result: the windows reload, but I expected it to solve my problem and show the icons on the left.
[20:11] <roll> ActionParsnip: very strange :O
[20:11] <dodo3773> roll: You are being told to try a different nameserver that's all. That's what /etc/resolv.conf does (resolves host names to ip addresses)
[20:11] <roll> ActionParsnip, dodo3773: I tryed even open dns
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Roll: do you mean Firefox fails connection?
[20:11] <roll> firefox works
[20:12] <Bsims> ActionParsnip: heh I'm typing this in a Debian Testing VM on windows 7
[20:12] <dodo3773> roll: 8.8.8.8 is google dns
[20:12] <roll> but anything else doesn't work
[20:12] <histo> roll: what "other" software are you trying to use that has hostname issues?
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> KRISTENBB_  can you logout and back in?
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Roll: do you use a proxy?
[20:12] <DredTiger> I'm running raring on a macbookpro. When I connect to my company VPN, DNS resolution for things outside the company domain fails.
[20:12] <roll> xchat, ping
[20:12] <Noskcaj> kale, you want either lxde(lubuntu) or xfce(xubuntu)
[20:12] <histo> roll: I thought you said you could ping hostnames
[20:12] <dodo3773> roll: go into your networkmanager settings and make sure that proxy is unchecked and turn off ipv6 maybe and save and try it again
[20:12] <roll> no, I'm not
[20:12] <roll> histo, nope
[20:13] <histo> roll: how are you launching firefox/
[20:13] <DredTiger> I've been poking around the internet and see how network-manager uses dnsmasq
[20:13] <KRISTENBB_> MonkeyDust: no that's highly unconvienent, I'd much rather just solve my unity issue without doing that. Though I know it would must likely solve my issue.
[20:13] <k1l> DredTiger: raring support is in #ubuntu+1 as its not released yet
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Bsims: I've ran Xpud a lot.  People asking me what it was. Fun
[20:13] <Bsims> heh that one Ive got to google
[20:13] <dodo3773> roll: Do you use a firewall?
[20:13] <DredTiger> k1l: Sorry, I forgot. Thnx. I'll hop over there.
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> Roll: does apt-get work ok?
[20:14] <Bsims> heh that looks neat ActionParsnip
[20:14] <MonkeyDust> KRISTENBB_  repeat your question every 10 minutes or so, i'm sure someone else can help you - do try logging, tho
[20:14] <roll> yes, it does, I used Ubuntu software center to install xchat
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Roll: can you ping the router's internal ip?
[20:15] <roll> I don't have the router, I'm using a mobile internet key
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Bsims: great for thin clients. Boots in seconds
[20:15] <histo> roll: can you ping external ips? like try ping 8.8.8.8
[20:15] <vl4kn0> gnome-terminal only offers me monospaced fonts. I have a font that even it is monospace, it is not available to select. How do I fix this behaviour?
[20:15]  * Bsims will keep it in mind
[20:15] <Bsims> brb
[20:15] <roll> histo: yes i can, server response
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Roll: I bet your provider is blocking icmp
[20:16] <roll> uhm maybe
[20:16] <roll> but xchat uses icmp?
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Vl4kn0: can you select the font in other applications
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Roll: I'd think not
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> Roll: tried other irc clients?
[20:17] <KRISTENBB_> MonkeyDust: what's the official name for the icon bar on the left ?
[20:17] <dodo3773> roll: I don't think xchat used icmp. Pretty sure it uses a dynamic port
[20:17] <roll> emphaty IM, doesn't work
[20:18] <vl4kn0> ActionParsnip: yes I can. Only gnome-terminal makes a big deal out of it
[20:18] <roll> the port is 9999 (SSL)
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> Vl4kn0: if you use terminal alot I can recommend guake
[20:19] <dodo3773> roll: Does dig work? -> dig google.com
[20:19] <vl4kn0> ActionParsnip: what? that is not an option. Only thing I want to do is to use non-monospaced fonts in gnome-terminal
[20:20] <roll> dodo 3773: nope
[20:20] <dr_willis> Non-mono spaces will look poor in many cases
[20:20] <roll> At this point I think that it is the provider...
[20:20] <roll> but why doesn't resolve only in firefox?
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Vl4kn0: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue
[20:21] <roll> wait, if i ping as root ICMP works
[20:21] <BillyZane|2> hi dr_willis
[20:21] <roll> so this means that is not the provider blocking my connections
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Roll ^
[20:21] <roll> could be any privilege problem?
[20:22] <BillyZane|2> dr_willis: i can't get my sound card to work
[20:22] <vl4kn0> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Roll: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue;  groups
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Vl4kn0: sorry.  Wrong target
[20:22] <BillyZane|2> dr_willis: my problem is that it's so new, there arn't even any forums on this online. it's as if i'm the first person to try to use this card on linux
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> Vl4kn0: not sure really.  Not had to mess with it
[20:23] <BillyZane|2> it's a creative sound blaster Z
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: could use the onboard and be ok
[20:24] <ernest_> How do I get the HDMI drivers for a Biostar A880G+ on Ubuntu 12.10?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> Ernest_: what video chip?
[20:25] <roll> no solutions, thank anyway
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Ernest_: is the hdmi set as output
[20:26] <ernest_> how do i look that up?
[20:26] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: I wouldn't really be able to enjoy the sound though. I can't stand on board sound quality
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Roll: I asked for some output
[20:26] <dodo3773> roll: ActionParsnip just asked you about your groups to help you determine if it was a permission problem
[20:26] <cinco> BillyZane|2: have you checkd this site? http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html dunno if it helps tho
[20:27] <BillyZane|2> i've been spoiled by 24bit sound for too long
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Roll: how can we help if you don't reply
[20:27] <BillyZane|2> cinco, no i haven't i'll check it out
[20:27] <BillyZane|2> cinco, wait, yes i have
[20:27] <cinco> ok
[20:27] <BillyZane|2> my card is not listed, the X-fi was the previous generation
[20:27] <ernest_> actionparsnip, can i pm you?
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> BillyZane|2: I bet your onboard is 24bit
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Ernest_im home now so will bbrs. My sound fixing is basic
[20:28] <dr_willis> Creative really messed up their linux drivers a few years back. I stopped using creative back then when the X-Fi came out
[20:29] <BillyZane|2> ActionParsnip: it's a THX 5.1 sound that sounds awful. the mids and lows are completely flat
[20:29] <ernest_> sorry i dont understand
[20:29] <dr_willis> I used their Audigy cards for years.
[20:29] <Bower^> windows 7 has a really nice feature where if a window is highlighted and the user press windows key + left/right arrow it will fill half the screen with that window. does ubuntu do anything similar?
[20:29] <mint> could anyone help me, please?
[20:29] <BillyZane|2> dr_willis: me too, the audigy was great. my current $112 card does not sound as good as my $30 audigy, it's awful
[20:29] <BillyZane|2> dr_willis: problem is, all those prior audigy cards were PCI
[20:29] <dr_willis> Bower^:  it would be part of the CCSM/Compiz  settings
[20:30] <escott> Bower^, drag the window to one side of the screen
[20:30] <Bower^> i have no idea what that means :(
[20:30] <mint> I cant boot
[20:30] <dr_willis> I havent used anything other then onboard audio cards in years
[20:30] <dr_willis> Bower^:  its it can have the feature i imagine
[20:30] <dr_willis> !compiz
[20:30] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[20:30] <Bower^> great, thanks dude
[20:31] <BillyZane|2> if you don't listen to music, it's fine. but on board really sounds terrible compared to a good quality DAC on a sound card. Thus, I really want this Z card to work. I'm aout to call up creative, but i wana sleep for a half hour before going to get my breaks done
[20:31] <cinco> BillyZane|2: even the windows 8 drivers are still i beta
[20:32] <BillyZane|2> this is the only thing that is keeping me tied to windows
[20:32] <dr_willis> BillyZane|2:  work in a factory for several years and get some age on you.,. and you wont be able to tell the differance
[20:33] <cinco> haha dr_willis
[20:33] <Bower^> :D
[20:33] <BillyZane|2> that sounds depressing
[20:33] <dr_willis> Creative basially annoyied the entire linux community with their driver fiasco a few years back. Im actually suprised the company is still around
[20:33] <BluesKaj> BillyZane|2:  have you set the bios to pci for the audio options
[20:34] <BillyZane|2> bluesKaj, i have set the bios to disable the on board sound
[20:34] <JDude_> hi, would this link work with lubuntu? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[20:34] <dr_willis> JDude_:  i would imagine it would
[20:35] <dr_willis> JDude_:  the pendrivelinux site may have alternative tools
[20:35] <JDude_> dr_willis: yeah, unetbootin has been failing me for about two days now...
[20:35] <dr_willis> I rarely use unetbootin these days
[20:36] <thebishop> hello hello
[20:36] <BillyZane|2> well, this won't get solved soon. i'm gona sleep for 25 minutes. bbl tonight
[20:36] <thebishop> will a startup USB thumbdrive "just work" on an intel mac?
[20:36] <BluesKaj> fancy pci cards are a bit linux0unfriendly ..it took me a week to find the right driver for the m-audio 192 card ..it was available all along , i just couldn't find out which was the correct driver
[20:37] <dr_willis> hard to justify $100+ sound cards   when im using a $5 set of speakers...
[20:37] <BluesKaj> BillyZane|2: ^
[20:37] <iceroot> !mac | thebishop
[20:38] <JDude_> thebishop: or... http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[20:38] <BluesKaj> dr_willis:  I use the spdif out to the DAC on my audio system ...the onboard spdif out sounded like crap
[20:39] <thebishop> JDude_, i'm talking about making a thumbdrive from Ubuntu, and using it to boot into the live environment on an iMac
[20:41] <ernest_> Would additional drivers software be able to pickup the drivers are I need since I cant boot the windows driver CD?
[20:42] <BluesKaj> ernest_:  the windows driver won';t work on linux
[20:42] <MarcoPau> hi, I am often getting "sending... failed with exit value 65" or 76 from my email client. do you know some logfile I could check in order to troubleshoot? can't find anything either in mail.log or in messages
[20:42] <WilliamWallace> Hello. Someone knows how to install the Calibri Font?
[20:42] <ernest_> I understand that, but will the software in the ubuntu software center called additional drivers be able to get the drivers
[20:42] <BluesKaj> ernest_:  check the additional drivers , theymost likely work
[20:43] <ernest_> yea, im installing it now
[20:43] <BluesKaj> ernest_:  you'll need to reboot after the install
[20:43] <ernest_> ok thanks
[20:49] <FunkyELF> So I installed Steam and I'm getting this error... any ideas?    required opengl extension gl_ext_texture_compression_s3tc is not supported
[20:51] <escott> FunkyELF, whatever driver you are using doesn't support s3 compression
[20:52] <dyre17> Hi All.  I am looking to build an Ubuntu file server.  I will be using 1 or 2 1TB disk to store files My questions are:  1.  IS ext4 fast enough for daily backups? (13 clients or more)  2. Is one partition a bad idea for any reason? ( have heard that smaller partitions ger faster rw times)
[20:52] <dyre17> ... and by "ger" I do mean " get"
[20:52] <FunkyELF> escott: I'm using whatever Linux Mint installed for my integrated Radeon
[20:53] <escott> !mint | FunkyELF
[20:53] <escott> dyre17, ext4 should be fine
[20:54] <ernest_> Hey im back, after installing the additional driver software and rebooted it no where to be seen. I get a remove option now though on the software center and a review says it cant be used in 12.10. Any ideas?
[20:56] <elijah> I have a program called XXXpath  but I cannot remember XXX. How can I search via CLI all installed binaries?
[20:56] <elijah> locate XXXpath would work but I don't know XXX, I did a man locate but it doesn't appear to have wildcard functionality
[20:57] <elijah> I can grep but that seems to be overkill
[20:57] <elijah> Is there something like ctrl+r for history, where I can interactively search all available programs?
[20:57] <bekks> elijah: find / -type f -iname "*path"
[20:58] <blkadder> locate supports regex
[20:58] <llutz> elijah: locate *path
[20:59] <FunkyELF> how can I tell the version of graphics driver being used right now?  I want to see if an apt-get upgrade updates it
[21:00] <bekks> FunkyELF: You are using Mint, not Ubuntu.
[21:00] <elijah> Thanks llutz, that worked, the man page didn't say I could do that but maybe I can just use * anywhere as that is builtin to bash?
[21:01] <elijah> bekks: Thanks also, even though llutz's suggestion is easier.
[21:01] <_helios_> later guys time for 3hrs of slave labor ;(
[21:01] <FunkyELF> bekks: how do I list the contents of a directory?
[21:01] <calimero_82> hi
[21:01] <calimero_82> i can't open tcp port
[21:01] <calimero_82> please help me
[21:02] <llutz> !details | calimero_82
[21:02] <calimero_82> i'm ubu 12.10, my router is digicom combo cx
[21:02] <calimero_82> i've done static ip
[21:03] <calimero_82> but i need to open tcp port
[21:03] <awesomess3> I'm running 10.04 LTS, is there any reason to go to 12.10?
[21:03] <Bsims> awesomess3: slightly newer kernel but you can install that via backports
[21:03] <dhanasekaran> Hi Guys crontab -e , witch location actually stored data  (I was able read file update file),
[21:04] <bekks> awesomess3: You should upgrade to 12.04 :)
[21:04] <winterpk> Hey all, goodmorning!
[21:04] <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?
[21:04] <escott> dhanasekaran, something like /var/anacron
[21:04] <ernest_> Hey guys, I still need help getting the drivers for a Biostar A880G+ ATI Radeon DH4250 to run my HDMI port
[21:04] <winterpk> I'm trying to set up RAID 0 via ubuntu but I'm running into problems with not having a root filesystem.
[21:05] <llutz> dhanasekaran:  /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
[21:05] <escott> winterpk, do you have a separate /boot partition?
[21:05] <kale> in gnome, how do i select a new window decoration?
[21:05] <winterpk> escott: no I do not.  I only have 2 HDD's and want them in RAID 0
[21:05] <kingbeast> Is anyone else getting a confetti effect in flashplayer after the chrome update?
[21:05] <winterpk> escott: how can I do this and also have a boot partition?
[21:05] <escott> winterpk, you create the mdadm array spanning sda2 and sdb2
[21:06] <awesomess3> kingbeast, when I updated flash, flash stopped working for me on chrome and firefox.
[21:06] <awesomess3> kingbeast, something about my CPU not being able to compute sse2
[21:06] <winterpk> escott: so I need two RAID arrays?
[21:06] <awesomess3> kingbeast, my solution was to download/install an older flash
[21:07] <escott> winterpk, no you have one array with devices sda2 and sdb2 as components of the array
[21:07] <escott> winterpk, in generally you should never be creating an mdadm array across raw disk. unless you aren't using mdadm in which case you might tell us what you are using
[21:07] <winterpk> escott: can I use the ubuntu installation disk?
[21:07] <kingbeast> awesomess3, mine works fine in firefox, it works in chrome, it's just covered with a confetti look
[21:07] <escott> !alternate | winterpk
[21:08] <escott> winterpk, in the past i think you needed to use the alternate disk
[21:08] <winterpk> escott: from what I read, the ubuntu server cd can do it
[21:08] <winterpk> escott: sorry I shoulda mentioned that I'm using the server install cd
[21:09] <ernest_> Hey guys, I still need help getting the drivers for a Biostar A880G+ ATI Radeon DH4250 to run my HDMI port
[21:10] <noiro> can someone help me setup an ftp server? I can log into it if I connect through localhost, but connecting through an IP gives me a problem. Do I need to port forward? ssh works right out of the box
[21:11] <escott> noiro, why do you need ftp. why not use the sftp module in openssh?
[21:11] <llutz> noiro: "sudo lsof -i :21"
[21:11] <dhanasekaran> llutz: thanks
[21:11] <noiro> escott, I think I just used the default ssh. I'm not sure which one I'm running
[21:12] <escott> noiro, when people say "ftp" they often just mean "some way to transfer files with ftp commands like put/get/ls/cd" in which case you can use sftp which is more secure
[21:13] <noiro> escott, I want to pull and place files from a Windows computer (the one I"m on at the time usually is) and yes, sending and receiving files is all I really need'
[21:13] <noiro> I just think a GUI would be faster
[21:13] <calimero_82> i've resolved :)
[21:13] <llutz> noiro: winscp, filezilla support sftp too.
[21:13] <escott> noiro, then you have a lot of better options than installing an ftp server. i would start by putting "sftp://your_computer_name_here" and seeing if that works from windows
[21:15] <noiro> escott: how would I see if filezilla supported it?
[21:15] <ernest_> Hey guys, I still need help getting the drivers for a Biostar A880G+ ATI Radeon DH4250 to run my HDMI port
[21:15] <escott> noiro, filezilla does support sftp
[21:15] <noiro> escott: so I just log into filezilla via port 22?
[21:16] <escott> noiro, sftp is just ssh so yes it uses port 22
[21:16] <Bsims> ernest_: try installing the newest non free raedon drivers
[21:16] <noiro> I'm still a little new to Linux, so bear with me. :P  And can I have an X11 connection open while at the same time, running an sftp in another window?
[21:16] <ernest_> Bsims, how do i do this?
[21:17] <blkadder> noiro: Yes.
[21:17] <fearphage> are any of you familiar with a widget (sits in the status bar) that can toggle sound ouput between native and USB connected devices?
[21:17] <escott> noiro, can you browse to two websites at the same time?
[21:17] <noiro> And finally, what command can I use to open an X11 application so it does not consume the terminal (so I can launch multiple X11 windows up without having to close one to open another)?
[21:18] <escott> noiro, put a & at the end to background the task
[21:18] <Bsims> ernest_: it should have done it on its own... I'm not on ubuntu at the moment but I'd have thought it would have downloaded the restritcted driver for you
[21:19] <Benxyzzy> Anybody know where openssl.cnf is located? Looks like it's no longer in /etc/ssl (I'm on 12.04 server)
[21:19] <noiro> escott, thank you a ton.
[21:19] <ernest_> Bsims well when i turn my computer on it shows the bios on vga and hdmi, but when i actually boot ubuntu it doesnt boot the mirror on the hdmi
[21:19] <Bsims> Benxyzzy: try locate openssl.conf
[21:19] <Bsims> Hrm no idea sorry
[21:19] <wbf> is there an ARM channel for ubuntu? if so which?
[21:20] <mathe_frage> hi
[21:20] <mathe_frage> can someone help me with routing tables in ubuntu 11.04?
[21:20] <noiro> I guess trying to X11 an entire IDE would not work.... :'(
[21:20] <mathe_frage> route add -net 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 172.16.0.6 dev eth0
[21:20] <mathe_frage> route add -net 172.16.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 172.16.0.14 dev eth1
[21:20] <mathe_frage> I have 2 Networks: 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.248 and 172.16.0.8 255.255.255.248
[21:20] <mathe_frage> host 1: 172.16.0.1 cant ping 172.16.0.9
[21:20] <Benxyzzy> Bsims: Thanks, I must have been blind because it is there after all :/
[21:20] <escott> noiro, "to X11" what does that mean?
[21:20] <Bsims> Benxyzzy: heh next type man man ... its the manual for the manual
[21:20] <noiro> escott: trying to display a GUI version of Eclipse over X11
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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?
[21:25] <mathe_frage> the problem: this are two different networks
[21:25] <mathe_frage> so i must route?
[21:26] <gQuigs1> hi there, if you have a slashdot account please promote my story: http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&type=submission&id=2446301
[21:26] <gQuigs1> for the petition for more free software in schools: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/promote-use-free-software-our-schools-libre-office-gimp-gnu-cash-and-other-gpl-software-which-cost/T1xGw1fZ
[21:27] <escott> mathe_frage, if they are different networks then yes you have to route between them
[21:27] <k1l> gQuigs1: according to the !guidelines no advertising is allowed here. thanks
[21:28] <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] <mathe_frage> i tried this 2 route add commands: route add -net 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 172.16.0.6 dev eth0
[21:28] <mathe_frage> route add -net 172.16.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.248 gw 172.16.0.14 dev eth1
[21:28] <mathe_frage> but i can only ping the gateway
[21:28] <thebishop> cinco, what video card?  what driver?
[21:29] <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
[21:30] <Bsims> mathe_frage: I'd try apt-get install xfce
[21:30] <gQuigs1> !guidelines
[21:30] <escott> mathe_frage, those are some crazy netmasks. why not use a full class C?
[21:30] <k1l> cinco: latest driver from homepage or driver from the official repos?
[21:31] <cinco> k1l: apt-get install nvidia-experimental-310
[21:31] <cinco> thats what i did
[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
[21:32] <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] <sybariten> So...
[21:33] <escott> mathe_frage, in any case there is a ##networking which might be better able to help
[21:33] <cinco> wbf: think il end up using fluxbox og awesome
[21:33] <sybariten> ive been hearing about this clearfonts thing that migth finally solve my issue with fonts looking worse in *nix than Win
[21:33] <mathe_frage> ok i'll try it thank you
[21:33] <sybariten> but isnt it in the repositories?
[21:34] <Tex_Nick> has anyone used speech recognition on Ubuntu 12.xx ... if so which one , and what kind of results have you had :)
[21:34] <cinco> wbf: when i move windows around i get some "lagg" issues, it aint smooth like i had with gnome2
[21:34] <orudie> greets. I have a USB stereo headset. i can see it in sound settings and I can hear sound when I test it. But there is no sound coming out when I do anything like youtube.com. The sound only comes out of default speakers.
[21:34] <escott> cinco, what kind of graphics card do you have
[21:34] <v73ch-x> hi! I am having problems with the Xine audio_decoder error buffer on Ubuntu
[21:35] <wbf> cinco, sorry to hear that if there's lag.
[21:35] <cinco> escott: geforce gtx580
[21:35] <v73ch-x> anyone could help me?
[21:35] <escott> cinco, whose drivers are you using? nouveau or the nvidia
[21:36] <cinco> escott: nvidia-experimental-310
[21:36] <orudie> how do I tell ubuntu to use a different audio output ?
[21:36] <KeyboardNotFound> How to automatically start skype after login ? I have xfce
[21:37] <escott> KeyboardNotFound, gnome-session-properties
[21:38] <KeyboardNotFound> i haven't gnome environment, i have xfce
[21:38] <cinco> escott: could dualscreen have something to do with it? i tried to play TF2 earlier, that workd well, so it seems like the drivers work
[21:39] <escott> cinco,  could be.. i just avoid nvidia to not have these problems
[21:39] <cinco> escott: are you using ati then?
[21:40] <escott> cinco, or intel
[21:40] <winterpk> can someone help me set up software raid 0 with only 2 HDDs
[21:40] <orudie> how do I switch between default sound ? My soundcard has analog and digital outputs.
[21:40] <orudie> please help
[21:40] <cinco> escott: =)
[21:41] <Peyam> hi
[21:41] <cinco> hi
[21:41] <escott> winterpk, help you how?
[21:41] <Peyam> I use xubuntu and wireless connection is so slow. Im using same router on an other laptop and it is 3 times more
[21:42] <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?
[21:43] <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?
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <ccc> Hi guys
[21:48] <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
[21:49] <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
[21:50] <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?
[21:51] <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?
[21:52] <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?
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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] <ccc> has anyone in the Universe ever installe hMail email server on ubuntu before?
[21:55] <iceroot> orudie: what is wrong with "pavucontrol"?
[21:55] <iceroot> !anyone | ccc
[21:55] <iceroot> ccc: and why not using postfix? which is the default MTA on Ubuntu
[21:55] <ccc> i am not familair with it
[21:55] <ccc> what is it
[21:56] <iceroot> ccc: why you need a mailserver?
[21:56] <atlef> !ppp
[21:56] <ccc> uhh so i can adminsitrate and run my own email address
[21:56] <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
[21:57] <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
[21:58] <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
[21:59] <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] <iceroot> ccc: public server (vserver) with postfix + courier-imap
[22:00] <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] <iceroot> ccc: because of that i said "dont administrate a system if you dont know what you are doing"
[22:01] <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] <schmoost1r> iceroot++ # in case there's a bot watching
[22:01] <ernest_> BluesKaj, let me try
[22:02] <ccc> i do not feel comfortable with my lifes email going to some corporation
[22:02] <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?
[22:03] <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] <BluesKaj> turn the tv and pc off to do this , ernest_ then power them ip again
[22:04] <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
[22:05] <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?
[22:06] <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

[22:07] <winterpk> escott: great, thanks!
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <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?
[22:10] <escott> winterpk, sure. but /boot and the swap need to be different partitions.
[22:11] <winterpk> escott: ok good to know, thanks!
[22:12] <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> :)
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <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 ?
[22:16] <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
[22:17] <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
[22:18] <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.
[22:19] <escott> DX099, then you are in good shape
[22:19] <sybariten> what is ubuntu-desktop?
[22:19] <DX099> escott, thanks as well
[22:20] <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
[22:21] <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
[22:22] <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
[22:23] <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)
[22:24] <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?
[22:25] <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] <rushy> no i haven't been able to boot it
[22:25] <rushy> its a fresh install. new hard drive and all
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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?
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <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.

[22:31] <modifier> escott: what does it means ? broken packages - packages are missing or some installed packages are bad ?
[22:31] <remontees> Al-Kashi.
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <modifier> sudo apt-get -f install wine and sudo apt-get install -f wine both ways same error escott zvacet
[22:34] <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> Hmmmm
[22:35] <eGetin> is it possible to route sounds from my computer to my media-pc

[22:35] <zvacet> modifier: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:35] <eGetin> I know that
[22:35] <eGetin> do you know how to configure it?

[22:37] <modifier> zvacet: ok
[22:37] <escott> eGetin, its not something ive ever done. im just googling for pulseaudio network sound server ubuntu
[22:37] <escott> SierraAR, "booting off a disk" what kind of disk?
[22:38] <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 ;(
[22:39] <zvacet> modifier: synaptic is good enough
[22:39] <modifier> what about filezilla ?? zvacet
[22:40] <SierraAR> escott: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS boot disk
[22:40] <SierraAR> CD ROM
[22:40] <DavEd3464> hooola
[22:40] <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?
[22:41] <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.
[22:42] <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] <escott> DavEd3464, what does that mean?
[22:42] <Ziber> So, anyone familiar with the mysql-server package having trouble in 12.04?
[22:43] <smokingfreek> wath is your problem with mysql?
[22:43] <smokingfreek> can't connect to your localhost?
[22:43] <Ziber> smokingfreek: Corrupted tables in the mysql database.
[22:44] <DavEd3464> i've been reading in some forums that the radeon hd driver for ubuntu 12.10 isn't avaible
[22:44] <smokingfreek> or a problem with sql?
[22:44] <smokingfreek> there is
[22:44] <DavEd3464> really?
[22:44] <modifier> zvacet: what about filezilla ??
[22:44] <DavEd3464> but where?
[22:44] <smokingfreek> just look for your graphic card in google
[22:45] <zvacet> DavEd3464: propriety driver is not available for that series I know that fro experience  :(
[22:45] <DavEd3464> ok ok
[22:45] <smokingfreek> the name and the number of your card
[22:45] <SierraAR> escott, http://pastebin.com/7GiPDMM0
[22:45] <zvacet> modifier: install it from repos if you can I ´m not familiar with filezilla
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <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"?
[22:50] <zvacet> modifier: there is no need to compile every time when you want to install something
[22:50] <modifier> zvacet: hmm ok
[22:50] <zvacet> modifier: what about packages on hold did you solve that one?
[22:50] <modifier> no
[22:51] <modifier> ok dist-upgrade zvacet
[22:51] <modifier> i mean i am doing it now
[22:51] <zvacet> modifier	: ok
[22:52] <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?
[22:53] <escott> k1ll, yes
[22:53] <modifier> zvacet: its showing a screen full of packages to be upgraded....with some ones to be installed ?
[22:53] <modifier> some new* ones
[22:53] <SierraAR> escott, When I do 'sudo gparted', I see 'Input/output error during read on /dev/sda'
[22:53] <zvacet> modifier: install them all
[22:54] <escott> SierraAR, ahhh. the disk may be going bad
[22:54] <SierraAR> Seriously
[22:54] <SierraAR> I've had it less than a month..
[22:54] <SierraAR> Brand new western digital
[22:54] <escott> SierraAR, check the smart status with gnome-disks or smartctl
[22:54] <escott> SierraAR, and new things can never ever break. its the law
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <SierraAR> Server? I'm running it off a boot disk on a CD-RW
[22:56] <SierraAR> The PC version
[22:56] <escott> SierraAR, i would have thought the gnome-disks tool would be on the livecd, but if its not you could apt-get install it
[22:57] <zvacet> modifier: yes you can use aptoncd or simply copy content of var/cache/apt/archives to another folder
[22:57] <cinco> one qick question, im running on a ssd now. is there something i should do to improve preformance after install ?
[22:57] <SierraAR> I can't get an internet connection on the laptop right now :/
[22:57] <escott> !ssd
[22:58] <modifier> zvacet: apt copying and aptoncd are easy for me but that aptitude thing looks complicated escott
[22:58] <escott> cinco, noatime,nodiratime if you dont need atime is good, discard if you trust that
[22:58] <zvacet> modifier: I have to go now I hope I was of some help someone else will pick up if you need any assistance
[22:58] <modifier> !automate | modifier
[22:59] <modifier> zvacet: yes sure....and thnx :)
[22:59] <escott> SierraAR, there are some livecd's more focused on hardware diagnostics and recovery. you might try one of those
[22:59] <modifier> !automate
[23:00] <cinco> escott: do i edit this in fstab or something?
[23:00] <jesteven> something speak spanish?
[23:00] <escott> cinco, yes those are fstab mount options. another common recommendation is to switch the io scheduler
[23:00] <modifier> escott: does these upgrades by dist-upgrade also get downloaded in apt folder ?
[23:00] <escott> cinco, http://apcmag.com/how-to-maximise-ssd-performance-with-linux.htm
[23:01] <cinco> escott: thank you
[23:01] <escott> modifier, yes
[23:01] <SierraAR> escott, also, what does it mean when it says 'Daemon is inhibited' when I try formatting a flash drive or hdd using disk utility?
[23:02] <escott> SierraAR, i honestly don't know. does it say which daemon is involved?
[23:02] <SierraAR> Nope. Details just say 'Daemon is inhibited'
[23:03] <escott> SierraAR, what application is this
[23:03] <SierraAR> Disk Utility
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <escott> SierraAR, also disk utility is gnome-disks and will show you the smart status
[23:04] <rustler770> Anybody been able to get mod_mono working?
[23:04] <SierraAR> Ahh
[23:05] <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] <escott> SierraAR, then either libatasmart4 is not installed or your hardware doesnt support smart
[23:05] <i7c> after updates my grub settings are lost (timeout disabled)... where do i have to edit the config file? in /etc? or directly in /boot?
[23:06] <nabblet> hi, do i have to download the 64 or the 32 version of ubutnut vor the lenovo t430?
[23:06] <escott> i7c, /etc/default/grub then update-grub
[23:06] <i7c> escott thx
[23:07] <escott> nabblet, how much ram does that computer have?
[23:07] <SierraAR> Ok gonna see if I can find an ethernet cable for this thing
[23:07] <rustler770> need mono expert!
[23:08] <ernest_> Hey guys, I got my HDMI port running now
[23:08] <i7c> nabblet: is it a 64 bit CPU? i would have guessed so....
[23:08] <nabblet> escott, don't know - i don't have access to it - just was told the model number
[23:08] <SierraAR> escott, should I search for and install libatasmart4?
[23:09] <escott> nabblet, you probably want to go with 64bit. unless it were a very ram-constrained system you will benefit more from the extra registers
[23:09] <escott> SierraAR, what does dpkg -l "*smart*" say
[23:09] <nabblet> escott, i7c hm, they offer 64 bit windows for it http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087&current-category-id=FC448E05D12BD000069CA73F6D0D1FA8
[23:09] <paul__> hello, i have a problem, it's with my sound, whenever i turn it down lower that 40% it doesnt work at all, does anyone know why?
[23:09] <nabblet> so i guess i will go with the 64 bit version
[23:09] <gustav__> I'm getting a segfault trying to run a game in Steam. What should I do? I tried deleting all data and downloading it again.
[23:10] <ernest_> but i did run into another problem. I think this problem is easyer to solve. Ive gone down every single resolution option for the tv display and only 3 work but i can see anything except the middle of the desktop
[23:10] <escott> gustav__, write to steam and tell them it is segfaulting
[23:10] <gustav__> escott: Done-dideli-done.
[23:10] <SierraAR> escott, http://pastebin.com/4m5zhGNn
[23:10] <schultza> how do i get update-alternatives to update it's list?
[23:11] <escott> SierraAR, perhaps the hardware doesnt support smart. is this an arm system?
[23:11] <SierraAR> escott, ARM system?
[23:11] <Luiscipher> ciao
[23:11] <schultza> oh, the jre was missing a few steps
[23:11] <escott> SierraAR, what kind of computer is this?
[23:11] <Luiscipher> !list
[23:11] <SierraAR> escott, It's an ASUS k53-e. I used this exact same system to format and p[artition this exact same drive when I first got it. This is the exact same boot CD I used last time, too
[23:12] <SierraAR> The only difference is this time there's actually stuff on the drive
[23:12] <Luiscipher> ciao
[23:12] <Luiscipher> !list
[23:12] <escott> SierraAR, and the disk is connected to the sata bus, its not some kind of usb adapter
[23:12] <paul__> so is there anyone that knows how to use linux in here? lol
[23:12] <SierraAR> escott, Yep, directly into the SATA port
[23:13] <Luiscipher> ciao
[23:13] <Luiscipher> !list
[23:13] <escott> SierraAR, one would expect that to support smart. either gnome-disks is confused or the hardware has really bitten the dust and cant even report its smart status
[23:13] <SierraAR> Luiscipher, I don't think you'll get a response from !list
[23:13] <escott> SierraAR, you can check dmesg
[23:13] <ernest_> but i did run into another problem. I think this problem is easyer to solve. Ive gone down every single resolution option for the tv display and only 3 work but i can see anything except the middle of the desktop
[23:13] <SierraAR> escott, in terminal, correct?
[23:14] <escott> SierraAR, yes
[23:14] <SierraAR> That dumped alot of lines. Anything in particular to look for?
[23:14] <SierraAR> Actually scrolling up...
[23:14] <escott> SierraAR, any errors related to that disk
[23:15] <SierraAR> Repeated I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
[23:15] <SierraAR> Unhandled error code; Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK; CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 00
[23:15] <modifier> SierraAR: are you on live disk ?
[23:16] <SierraAR> modifier, yes
[23:16] <modifier> SierraAR: lol....just reboot....
[23:16] <Grey4> o/ Do I need to create manually a RAID 0 MD device, once I've setup the RAID 1 MD devices?
[23:16] <Luiscipher> Ciao
[23:16] <Luiscipher> !list
[23:17] <Gyro54> Hi!
[23:17] <modifier> SierraAR: when disk or usb loses contact with sYstem and not able to get mounted as system disk then I/O happens....
[23:17] <kermit> how do i display many images in rotation?
[23:17] <SierraAR> modifier, escott, I'll give it a reboot then
[23:18] <eGetin> hmmm
[23:18] <Gyro54> What is the best way to move a user to a new computer and take his emails and all other personal settings with him?
[23:18] <eGetin> is it possible to route both computers' sounds to each other and make the sounds go through all sound devices?
[23:18] <ernest_> Could someone please help me
[23:19] <escott> Gyro54, copy his $HOME
[23:19] <MonkeyDust> Gyro54  first on my mind: clonezilla
[23:19] <Gyro54> There is a problem with his Unity and Thunderbird which I havn't been able to fix so I would like to start again fresh.
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <SierraAR> Now it says 'SMART Status: DISK FAILURE IS IMMINENT'
[23:21] <Gyro54> MonkeyDust: I use clonezilla but this computer has problems which I want to get away from.
[23:21] <SierraAR> How did it go from working perfectly fine last night to not booting this morning, to this
[23:22] <daftykins> SierraAR: disks are curious creatures
[23:23] <SonikkuAmerica> Big problem: Anytime I try to play a video ANYWHERE in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit under Wubi, I get snow along with the picture. Any ideas?
[23:23] <hipitihop> I'm on 12.04 using VirtualBox from standard repository version 4.2.0 r80737 it seems to be a fair way behind releases, shold be 4.2.6 should I continue to wait for main buntu rpository to catch up ?
[23:23] <compdoc> SierraAR, open disk util and read the SMART data
[23:24] <Gyro54> MonkeyDust: I currently have a HDD which has a standard copy of 12.04 which I use with clonezilla for a fresh computer. How can I change the partition to include a new /home part?
[23:24] <god> why is banshee media player not opening in 12.04?
[23:24] <SonikkuAmerica> god: Is it installed?
[23:24] <SonikkuAmerica> god: And is everything there (i.e. is it complaining about dependencies)?
[23:24] <ernest_> Could someone please help me
[23:25] <daftykins> !ask | ernest_
[23:25] <god> yes i was using it yesterday
[23:25] <bobolopolis> hipitihop: oracle has instructions on adding their repo: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[23:25] <SonikkuAmerica> god: Try [ sudo apt-get -y install --reinstall banshee ] and try to re-open it after you run that command.
[23:26] <SonikkuAmerica> god: (You don't necessarily need the -y switch)
[23:26] <god> so far i am more impressed by windows
[23:26] <SonikkuAmerica> (2) Big problem: Anytime I try to play a video ANYWHERE in Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit under Wubi, I get snow along with the picture. Any ideas?
[23:26] <god> i didnt have to constantly re install stuff to make it work
[23:27] <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] <SonikkuAmerica> god: And if all else fails, [ sudo apt-get -y install vlc ]
[23:28] <SonikkuAmerica> god: I recommend VLC anyway
[23:28] <god> well the flash has to be re installed almost daily and now this?
[23:29] <SonikkuAmerica> god: I'm having snowy picture problems with Flash right now... is there a holiday that requires red snowflakes to fall?
[23:29] <god> i use vlc for watching videos and it is almost impossible to get the sound synced with the pic
[23:29] <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?
[23:30] <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] <ernest_> daftykins its a tv but i cant change that, its not in the menu
[23:31] <ernest_> PeterGriffin, ATI Radeon 4250, its MB mounted
[23:31] <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
[23:32] <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.
[23:33] <atlef> !edubuntu > atlef
[23:33] <elkingrey> SonikkuAmerica: ^^
[23:34] <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?
[23:35] <eGetin> hrmph, flash doesn't seem to like my sound setup
[23:36] <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'.
[23:37] <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] <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?
[23:38] <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.
[23:39] <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...
[23:40] <ernest_> i tried to do. ended up screwing it all up
[23:41] <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.
[23:42] <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
[23:43] <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
[23:44] <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?
[23:45] <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 >>>
[23:46] <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
[23:47] <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:
[23:48] <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.
[23:49] <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
[23:50] <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
[23:51] <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
[23:52] <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
[23:53] <ernest_> well i cant find fglrx-legacy in ubuntu software center
[23:53] <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.)
