ActionParsnipFalados_: have you tested your ram?00:29
Falados_ActionParsnip, no have not tested ram.  Had 12.04 Kubuntu installed before with no issues.00:30
ActionParsnipFalados_: its a good starting point00:30
Falados_ok I'll try that.  If that isn't the problem - is there any other next step?00:30
Falados_ActionParsnip, I also have my root fs on LVM, if that makes a difference.00:31

fbdystangI just installed an server instance, but I keep getting incorrect password attempts. Is there a way to find out my password?00:32
stluThat way I could add them in and then there wont be any reason to install the extra crap.00:32
nabbletproblem solved http://blog.schmidt.br.com/2012/04/installing-dyndns-inadyn-as-service-on.html00:32

wachpwnskik1l_:  How do I configure Cinnamon with startx then?00:34
fbdystangActionParsnip: thnx :)00:34
jribstlu: and?  what's the output?00:34
k1l_wachpwnski: start a desktopmanager and start cinnamon from there00:35
jribstlu: also, are you sure you need to?  Why don't you just install mate?  What conflicts?00:35
stlujrib: apt-get progressively wants to install more alternate packages as I try to remove them.00:35
jribstlu: that's too vague00:35
dr_williswachpwnski:  the login manager should show a listg including the available desktops00:35
stlujrib: it got ridiculous and actually tried pushing KDE packages and libs on me when I tried to remove the Gnome3 ones.00:36
k1l_wachpwnski: as slim is in the repos why not installing slim? it should configure itself as the dm00:36
wachpwnskidr_willis:  how do I configure the login manager to start?00:36
dr_williswachpwnski:  it should be doing that allready. unless you disabled it.00:36
wachpwnskik1l_:  I did, so I just reboot now?00:36
jribstlu: does official mate documentation say you need to remove them?  Might be easier to just leave the alternate desktop and not use it00:36
wachpwnskidr_willis:  this is a server install00:36
dr_williswachpwnski:  shouldent matter. you install the lightdm or whatever dm and it sets up as a service00:37
jribstlu: see here: http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download00:37
stluOfficial MATE documentation will probably end up being modified by me for Ubuntu -specific problems.00:37
jribstlu: what do you mean?  They have ubuntu-specific directions there00:38
wachpwnskidr_willis:  it is saying "failed to load session "ubuntu"00:38
stlugnome-settings-daemon, for one, will crash the mate-settings-daemon and all icons and styles will be missing.00:38
dr_williswachpwnski:  what is saying that00:38
jribstlu: so don't run it?  Is mate running gnome-settings-daemon for some reason?00:38
stlujrib: the ubuntu-specific documentation does not take these problems into acount. I will probably be the only one who updates it.00:39
wachpwnskidr_willis:  when I login with slim00:39
dr_williswachpwnski:  select a differnt desktop   to use from the login manager screen00:39
stlujrib: that isn't the only problem.  I'll spare you the details but the bottom line is, I can't wate for Mubuntu to materialize, I need Unity and Gnome3 OUT.00:40
jribstlu: have you actually verified that it's still a problem?  For example here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-mate-desktop-environment-in-ubuntu-12-04precise11-10-oneiric.html there is mention of conflicts with gnome being fixed00:40
wachpwnskidr_willis:  i think i have to link my session to cinnamon00:41
stlujrib: that is the same documentation as in the MATE wiki.  I don't think many users have actually tried it because there are lots of unsolved problems even with the current version 1.400:41
dr_williswachpwnski:  i would hope that cinnamon adds a proper .desktop entry for the login managers to use.. if not - i wouldent put much faith in cinnamon00:41

Annette01Im trying to install ubuntu on my computer, but when i run the live usb both to install, and run off the usb it freezes after a ton of command line stuff01:21

ActionParsnipAnnette01: did you MD5 tes the ISO you downloaded?01:22
blkadderOr at least I would. :-)01:22
seamus_It's an odd set-up for an old machine. Installed Lubuntu to get around a compatibility issue with the CPU, then put GNOME 3 over it, but he runs GNOME Classic.01:22
ActionParsnipseamus_: did you look in sound settings, there is a bell volume01:22
Annette01Im not super in the know. But what is a md5 test?01:23
ActionParsnip!md5 | Annette0101:23
ubottuAnnette01: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows01:23
seamus_There doesn't appear to be such a thing in sound settings, in any of the five tabs or any of the lists inside those..... However, I may have solved it by disabling something in alsamixer called "external amplifier". Let me test real quickly.01:23
Annette01Thanks ^_^01:23
Annette01Ill look here!01:23
seamus_Nope. It turned off all sound.01:24
seamus_Turning it back on leaves me with the same problem.01:24
Sgt_Shultzseamus_, change keyboard or maybe look in BIOS to see if "beep on error" is on, it maybe a hardware thing01:24
seamus_Ok. Can't change keyboards, since it's a laptop, but will check BIOS.01:25
Annette01IT says the checksums are differnt, what does that mean?01:25
Annette01oh wait01:25
Annette01i missed a step01:25
seamus_Though, would it be a hardware thing if it sounds like the default alert sound? Like someone strumming some weird metallic but not-instrument string thing. xP01:26
seamus_Not like a pure tone or harsh generic beep. Just way too loud.01:26

escottBeefTaco, is the external drive NTFS?02:26
moxHola02:26
BeefTacoescott: Yes, I made sure not to set it up as FAT32 when I formatted it.02:27
escottBeefTaco, then what you propose is impossible02:27
linux_is_my_heromicmic: io non parlo italiano, ma Google Translate fa. quando si dice che non può entrare nel sortcenter, vuoi dire il menu cruscotto?02:27
BeefTacoescott: Even if it is being ssh'ed into from an NTFS system?02:27
escottBeefTaco, to some extent what you propose is impossible even with a proper partition. depends on whether or not you accept chroot jails as a legit solution02:28
BeefTacoescott: What are chroot jails?02:28
micmicma su canaIe ita non mi caga nessuno02:28
escottBeefTaco, NTFS is not POSIX. you cannot enforce POSIX permissions on it, hence you cannot apply different posix permissions to the same NTFS mountpoint02:28
BeefTacoescott: Meaning that the permissions cannot be set per user?02:29
micmicsoftwarecenter02:29
escottBeefTaco, there is one fake set of permissions per NTFS mountpoint.02:29
micmicaiutami Iinux02:30
escottBeefTaco, on top of that you have noexec and a host of other annoyances02:30
escottBeefTaco, assuming you switch to a proper posix filesystem then you could attempt a chroot jail but these days i would recommend a virtual machine over a chroot jail02:31

micmicsi, apre Ia pagina ma poi non mi fa connettere02:32
escottBeefTaco, one thing you need to understand is that a user only exists on a system to the extent that they can run binaries. For example when I ssh into another machine I *am* /bin/bash02:33
ActionParsniplinux_is_my_hero: there are lots of channels for lots of languages :)02:34
BeefTacoOkay, that makes sense. Guess what I am try to do then is create a "restricted" user.02:34
escottBeefTaco, so removing execute permissions from someone is also a way to deny them access. you could copy /bin/bash and libc and some other basic necessities into a folder and chroot them to that, but (a) its a very limited environment (b) its hard to update (c) its security is no greater than what you copy to that directory02:34
micmicheIppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp02:35
BeefTacoescott: Limited environment is what I want. The whole purpose is to allow friends to access content on the drive remotely.02:35
escottBeefTaco, my recommendation if you wanted to give access to someone who you didnt trust would be to consider either an sftp jail (which means they can only upload/download) or a virtual machine (so you can trash the whole thing/start over if it gets compromised)02:35
BeefTacoOr have me access it on the restricted user from their house.02:35

ActionParsnipmicmic: what is the issue?02:36
BeefTacoescott: What is a good vm environment for ubuntu 12.10?02:36

thetinyjesusI noticed in the new ubuntu development video he's wearing the apple headphones so i figured theres a trick to get it to sync03:12
ipankcan anyone help me?03:12
stluhalp-pl0x: I beleive you need the wpa-supplicant to provide a Passphrase to your wireless router in order to manage the wifi from the command line.03:12

ActionParsnipipank: what happens when you try to boot WIndows?03:12
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)03:12
ipankActionParsnip, no, the windows 7 is not listed03:12
thetinyjesusdo the restore grub link, happened to me as well03:13
seamus_The sound effects tab contains "Alert Volume", with a slider and on/off switch (set to "off"), and a selector labeled "choose an alert sound" with five options (set to "default").03:13
ActionParsnipipank: if you run:   sudo update-grub    do you see Windows mentioned?03:13
seamus_Nothing else.03:13
stluI'm still needing assistance removing Unity in 11.10.  Jrib?03:13
ipankActionParsnip, no03:13
ipankActionParsnip, it just generic kernell, recovery, and memtest03:13
ActionParsnipstlu: Oneiric is EOL in April. Is it worth it?03:13
stluYes, because f***ing dell won't use newer versions and I just bought a laptop from them.03:14
seamus_The other options are "Bark", "Drip", "Glass", and "Sonar".03:14
seamus_There is no "none".03:14
stluPlus, my bet is it will be just as nasty with 12.04 or 12.10.03:15
thetinyjesusstlu: Samsung is the WORST computer manufacturer in the world03:15
ActionParsnipstlu: I recommend upgrading to 12.04, it is LTS so supported til April 201703:15
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: I'd say Acer03:15
stluWell if I can't do it here then it wont work in 12.04.  this is apt-get I am fighting with.  http://pastebin.com/2JU2BUtq03:15
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: My samsung laptop was purchased in august this year, and they will not support windows 803:15
ipankany help?03:16
ActionParsnipstlu: if you simply install xfce4 or another desktop, you will get a new session to log in at the login screen03:16
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: do you want windows 8?03:16
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: no drivers at all, thats why im desperately looking for a way to transfer songs to my iphone03:16
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: i thought i did, upgraded and found out no drivers work03:16
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: didnt think a brand new laptop with an I7 wouldn't work03:16

josenetoMy display driver is not working as a result my computer is really slow, please help03:17
ActionParsnipstlu: then uninstall xorg and the other apps will fail deps and when you use autoremove it will haul the rest of the stuff off03:17
BillyZanethetinyjesus: i know that out of principal, a new laptop should be windows 8 compliant, but do you think you would really need windows 8 over 7? i personally prefer 7, unless you have a touch screen monitor03:18
BillyZanethen again, i have not tried windows 8, maybe it's really cool03:18
seamus_In fact, my whole desktop doesn't really look like the one in that picture. It is much plainer. Let me put up a screenshot.03:18
thetinyjesusBillyZane: of course i didn't think i needed it but it's always fun to play around with new software and now im stuck and cannot transfer songs to my iphone03:18
halp-pl0xi have another question, why isnt my computer's ip adress showing up in my routers list? my router is showing that something is there (showing a mac address, but no name or ip adress). and im still able to access the internet from my computer???????03:19
thetinyjesusBillyZane: os in this case03:19
BillyZanethetinyjesus: i recommend just sticking with 7 and if you want to try a new OS, try a linux OS if you haven't already, or maybe a BSD flavor03:19
beanhalp-pl0x: have you rebooted your router?03:19
halp-pl0xyes03:19
BillyZaneoh wait, i'm in #ubuntu, n/m you already have03:19
eamonwhat do I do if I forgot my sudo password?03:19
beanhalp-pl0x, then your computer probably has a DHCP lease from before the reboot.03:19
thetinyjesusBillyZane: i have windows 8 and ubuntu partitioned, windows 8 has ruined that partition and the only thing i ever used windows for was for syncing the iphone03:20
halp-pl0xbean: how to i renew it?03:20
beanhalp-pl0x: it doesn't really need to be in your lease list03:20
josenetoMy display driver is not working as a result my computer is really slow, please help. Acer aspire 5532 ATI Radeon HD3200. HELP!!03:20
halp-pl0xoh okay03:20
thetinyjesusBillyZane: and i know how time consuming it would be to downgrade to windows 7 without screwing up the linux partition03:20
BillyZanethetinyjesus: i wouldnt use 8 even if i could :P03:21
eamonI forgot my sudo password; what do I do?03:21
halp-pl0xwell also, i recently reinstalled windows on my computer, and it destroyed the grub menu,(it doesnt eve show it) and boots straight to windows. how do i fix that?03:21
thetinyjesusBillyZane: neither would i it sucked for the few minutes it worked03:21
stluActionParsnip: I'll take you up on that.  Don't go anywhere.03:21
thetinyjesusBillyZane: to be fair the week it worked and then suddenly all the drivers went haywire03:21
BillyZanethetinyjesus: wow that sucks03:21
seednodeNot sure what's going on here, but I kinda like Win803:21
eamonHow do I reset the password?03:22
thetinyjesusBillyZane: im just in disbelief that with 100 million + iphones no one has figured out how to sync them up to ubuntu the most popular distro03:22
kioneamon: you need to log in with a live disk and reset it from there03:22
beanhalp-pl0x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows03:23
thetinyjesusBillyZane: and as far as i know isn't apple based of unix? idk why it would be so difficult03:23
BillyZanethetinyjesus: i'm starting to regret even having an iphone/ipad. there's too much baggage03:23
halp-pl0xty bean03:23
eamonkion, what is the command?03:23
BillyZanethetinyjesus: because unix and linux are free, and apple is slavery03:23
thetinyjesusBillyZane: well after owning an HTC Hero, HTC Evo, Galaxy SII/SIII I've given up with androids03:23
seednodeBillyZane, tell me about it. I just use a dumbphone now03:23
thetinyjesusBillyZane: all the same crap, the battery life is horrible and after a month the phone just simply sucks03:24
BillyZanethe phone slows down to a crawl.03:24
BillyZaneyeah, my ihphone 4 should not be this slow03:24
thetinyjesusBillyZane: are you running ios 6 on it? that is probably why it started to run slow with even ios 503:24
BillyZanethetinyjesus: what's wrong with androids?03:24
BillyZaneno, i'm running iOS5, i wouldn't dare use 603:25
thetinyjesusBillyZane: battery life/ running slow after a month03:25
linux_is_my_herolets not forget that sometimes poorly programmed apps can kill a phone no matter what os its running03:25

BillyZanethetinyjesus: but if the battery didn't slow, would it be ok?03:25
linux_is_my_hero*cough* facebook03:25
BillyZanelinux_is_my_hero: i gotta delete some apps then03:25
BillyZanei have a 32gig iphone with 100mb free space03:25
thetinyjesusBillyZane: not going to lie i just don't like them, even on the SIII the touch screen wasn't as responsive, the apps load slower,03:25
stlu_ActionParsnip: the good news is 'apt-get remove xorg' isn't trying to install OS/2 or some nonsence.  Nothing would surprise me anymore.03:26
thetinyjesusBillyZane: youtube videos still have difficulty loading on google's own phone and probably the worst part is the fragmentation, everyone has their own software except if you get googles phone03:26
BillyZanethetinyjesus: i wish phones were more like PCs. where i can just install my own OS. i heard about that ubuntu OS. that sounds interesting03:26
linux_is_my_herobillyzane: its not anything you did.  the apps just keep getting bigger no matter what phone you have.  i had to delete some apps too.03:26
thetinyjesusBillyZane: i looked into it, looks awesome obviously right now it's slow if you watch the demo videos but it has potential03:26
XMLnewbiso I'm failing to get nginx to work. Trying to go back to apache. I did a sudo apt-get install apache2           but there is no folder apache2 in the etc folder now03:27

thetinyjesusKeshav: i did install it on ubuntu 12.04 with no problems03:29
eamonis the sudo password the same as the root password?03:30
spizzoI'm reading up on apt-get commands and wondering why upgrade exists since the only difference between that and dist-upgrade seems to be smarter dependency resolution.03:30
stlu_0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove...03:30
thetinyjesusKeshav: if you want it sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-stable03:30
thetinyjesusthen sudo apt-get update03:30
spizzoeamon: root password should be the password for the root account, sudo password should be the one for whichever account you're using.03:31
thetinyjesusKeshav: followed by sudo apt-get install cinnamon03:31
eamonspizzo: this is ubuntu, there is no root account…03:31
eamonSo I don't know if that guide will work…03:32
kioneamon no, it is not the same, but gives you the same potential03:32
eamon( http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3457-gentoo-linux-restoring-the-root-password )03:32
stlu_eamon: sudo gives you the same level of authority *as if* you were root.  Just add sudo before any commands in your tutorial.03:32
thetinyjesusKeshav: did you have a question on cinnamon or what?03:33
stlu_Keshav wants a cinnamon install tutorial03:33

thetinyjesusKeshav: does the same thing happen if you close transmission and re open it?04:21
kionKeshav I am trying to remember the command for that, unfortunately I left my Ubuntu laptop at office04:21
reb_i want to make a Linux live CD but every time i try putting anything on the CD it says there's nothing there04:22
dr_willisreb_:  you mean you are trying to  burn an ISO file to a cd?04:22
reb_yes04:22
Keshavthetinyjesus, Yea, unfortunately it won't do the integrity check either, so I have to re download the torrent everytime and make it read the downloaded files04:22
dr_willisthat wasent what you were asking earlier,04:23
kionKeshav try fsck -l04:23

Keshavkioin It says the file system is mounted, a warning that is, plus it says, if you continue, you will cause sever system damage!04:25
kionkeshav, dont continue!04:26
Keshavthetinyjesus, Moreover there isn't a way to download torrent files and save them to hdd04:26
Keshavkion yea stopped at that04:26

ActionParsnipitsrachelfish: could write a little bash command to run, wait then repeat04:29
itsrachelfish...why04:29
itsrachelfishokay how about this04:29
kionkeshav if you type "man -k partition" it should give you a list of commands that have the word partition on their manual pages04:29

fred-friim a dev. i need to open port 25 to test a mail program im making. currently it is closed, e.g if i do telnet localhost 25 i get connection refused04:35
thetinyjesusKeshav: edit>preferences - click downloading tab04:36
itsrachelfishrdsm: thank you for the watch -n tip04:36
itsrachelfish:)04:36
itsrachelfishthat's exactly what I needed04:36
itsrachelfish#useful04:36
thetinyjesusKeshav: at bottom incomplete check keep incomplete torrents in: and select whatever folder you want04:36
thetinyjesusKeshav: start a download wait till it gets to like 5 megs or 10 megs w/e close program04:37
kionitsrachelfish: I would just cat the /proc file contaning the temperature your are looking04:37
thetinyjesusKeshav: when you reopen right click the torrent and verify local data04:37
thetinyjesusKeshav: im assuming it's putting the data in a temp folder thats losing the information or something? not sure04:37
seliteGuys how do I install Sun's Java on Ubuntu? Most methods online fail to install it.04:37
rdsmfred-fri, sudo nc -l 2504:37
Keshavthetinyjesus, looks like it04:37
Keshavthetinyjesus, playing with the settings04:38
kionk04:38
Daxterx/ow04:38
Daxterer wrong app. darnit04:38
thetinyjesusKeshav: its definitely working for me doing it that way, every time i reopen transmission its paused and i just have to re verify the data and its back to where it was04:38
fred-frirdsm: thanks, i ran that and entered my password but now it looks like that terminal froze lol04:39
Keshavthetinyjesus, Okay, checking it04:39
seliteHow do I install sun's java?04:39
fred-frirdsm: the caret is blinking but i get no new prompt04:39
Daxterhey i messed up my java install somehow when I tried upgrading to java7 via webupd8's ppa for it. now minecraft won't run (except in a VM) :(. Any ideas?04:40
rdsmfred-fri, the nc is now listening on port 25 until you close that program , run telnet in other terminal and it will connect04:40
thetinyjesusKeshav: i noticed i loose like 5-10 megs my guess is maybe instead of having corrupt data it backtracks itself a little bit04:40
fred-frirdsm: ok04:40
grim4593I have used gsettings to move my minimize, maximize, and close buttons to the right side of the screen. However, when the window is maximized the buttons jump back to the left. Is there a way to fix this?04:41
fred-frirdsm: cool thanks04:41
rdsmfred-fri, glad to help.04:41
dr_willisgrim4593:  no. since the buttons are part of the global menu stuff. and not part of the window after you  maxamize04:42
thetinyjesusKeshav: just started DL at 70 megs, stopped at 103 restarted at 84 better than 0 i guess lol04:42
grim4593I see04:43
rdsmAfter a kernel panic on a Sony Vaio Duo , The keyboard is not responding even on the bios, any one knows if the keyboard on this machine needs a specific driver on the UEFI boot files? or is it probably a hardware failure? (are UEFI boot partitions even loaded before the BIOS?) The original boot partitions were overwritten by ubuntu during install process.04:44
soupwellnot sure this is the best place to ask my question; if someone has a better suggestion, please let me know.  I have started a pptp VPN server on my home server. I can connect to it, but I cannot "see" my local machines. I am beginning to suspect that the problem is that the network I am physically in (my hotel wifi) uses the same ip range as my home network (192.168.1.x). In my imperfect understanding of how the routing happens, I am guessing that when I tr04:45

cfhowlettb1lly, "architecture" asks if you're on a 32 or 64 bit machine04:47

Daxtersoupwell: I don't remember why, but if there is a LAN conflict with addys and your VPN, the computer will always try to connect to whoever has the address on the LAN your on, not your VPN04:47
b1llycfhowlett: so amd64 is 64 bit and i386 is 3204:48
cfhowlettb1lly, correct04:48
Daxterthe easy trick is to set your 3rd octet to something that isn't default (eg 192.168.SETTHIS.blah)04:48
rdsmcfhowlett, I haven't thought about that but if I need to do it I'll take it to technical service tomorrow , sony created that mess machine , I'll let sony handle it... thanks tor the tip anyway :)04:48
soupwellDaxter: does that mean I'm SOL if I'm on a LAN that conflicts with my VPN? It seems like this would be a common enough problem that there would be a workaround04:49
cfhowlettrdsm, best of luck.  don't tell them *ubuntu* or they will likely claim a warranty violation04:49
soupwellah04:49
soupwellthanks04:49
Keshavthetinyjesus, it won't work04:49
thetinyjesusKeshav: its restarting from 0 for you?04:49
soupwellargh, I was hoping not to have to restructure the home network04:50
Daxtersoupwell: yes you are SOL till you can get back to your lan and change your addressing. As far as a workaround I dont knwo of any04:50
rdsmcfhowlett, Oh, I'll delete the partitions before, (their rescue utility already erased one of them for me anyway...) , thanks again.04:50
Keshavthetinyjesus, No you did not understand, if I would download the torrent again, it would verify the cache, but suppose if a torrent while downloading, the net gets disconnected, then the downloads cannot be started from the same torrent file04:50
soupwellthanks for the input. I'll see if I can get it done via ssh04:50
Daxternp04:51
thetinyjesusKeshav: hmm i'm lost on that one never experienced that04:51
Keshavthetinyjesus, Is there any way to save torrents?04:52
Keshavthetinyjesus, Instead of directly allowing them to open in Transmission or another client?04:52
thetinyjesusKeshav: i cant seem to get magnet links to work on linux to be able to save as04:53
TheLordOfTimeKeshav, right click the link, save target as, <save> ?04:53
thetinyjesusKeshav: some websites i go to allow that option but like piratebay never has that04:53
thetinyjesusTheLordOfTime: its grayed out on most sites04:53
TheLordOfTimethetinyjesus, screenshots or lies, its worked for me for eons04:53
thetinyjesusTheLordOfTime: okay ill screen shot04:54
dr_willisgreying out the save as? i think theres extensions to get around that. ;)04:55
KeshavTheLordOfTime, no it won't save :o04:55
KeshavTheLordOfTime, btw am using firefox04:56
thetinyjesusTheLordOfTime: is there a reason i cant take a screenshot with right click option open04:56
rdsmKeshav, there are firefox add-ons to get the .torrent from the magnet, googled here and found one called magrent. but I never used it...04:56
TheLordOfTimeKeshav, there's probably extensions to get around that.  I've never had issues with it, but i don't use piratebay.  for anything.04:57
thetinyjesusTheLordOfTime: im using chrome and it wont allow me to either04:57
thetinyjesusand it comes up with this message under the link04:57
thetinyjesusProblems with magnets links are fixed by upgrading your torrent client!04:57
Keshavyep it says that, and to go awy with it, it requires to download some another crappy browser04:58
b1llyI used software center to install xmonad, but I have no idea how to run it or find it now...04:58
Keshavopen dashboard and seach04:58
b1llyya its not there04:59
KeshavOpen software center> All softwares Type xmonad in search bar, check if you have it04:59
dr_willisb1lly:  then why did you install it?04:59
rdsmb1lly, xmonad is a window manager , after installing it'll show as an option on the login screen, beware that xmonad needs to be configured before use since it works based on shortcuts.04:59
Keshavrdsm, that helped thanks :)05:00
b1llyrdsm: ok, great, where can I configure it05:00
thetinyjesusKeshav: i switched to firefox, and i have a 2nd option get torrent file05:00
thetinyjesusKeshav: which allows me to save as05:00
kaushalHi05:00
rdsmb1lly, ~/.config/xmonad if I am not mistaken , you should google to learn about it , xmonad is not for beginners05:01
thetinyjesusKeshav: using firefox 18.0.1 but looks to be specific to mint05:01
dr_willisxmonad is definatly not for beginners05:01
kaushalAny tool to draw block diagram for example list out servers,switches and routers..?05:01

Keshavthetinyjesus, looks like, earlier there was no option to save it as torrent file05:02
kaushaldr_willis: ok05:02
Keshavthetinyjesus, However with magrent as rdsm said it became easy :D05:02
Sgt_Shultzusing xubuntu here, torrent work from firefox flawlessly with delege05:02
Sgt_Shultzdeluge05:02
KeshavSgt_Shultz, it was about being able to save torrent files and not opening them directly in deluge05:03
folornany idea how to see your ip information etc from the terminal ? i forget05:03
thetinyjesusKeshav: just found out something weird.. it depends on the torrent file itself i opened that torrent link in chrome and it worked too and tried "the hobbit" and there was no get torrent file option05:03
xubuntu_Has anyone else had issues with htop displaying certain threads using 100% when idle?05:03
Sgt_Shultzwell firefox saves a copy in downloads, 4 me anyway05:03

pyro254750folorn: try ifconfig05:04
dr_willisDaxter:  uninstall them all and reinsrtall the one you  want perhaps.05:04
thetinyjesusmagnet fixer?05:04
dr_willisDaxter:  check what java you are using also.. java -version05:04
ActionParsnipDaxter: i suggest you contact the ppa maintainer05:04
dr_willis!java05:04
ubottuTo just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.05:04
Keshavthetinyjesus, magrent05:04
folornthanks pyro25475005:04
dr_willisthe webupd8 ppa is just a script  that does what i think the java factoid outlines.05:05
fred-frirdsm: so if i telnet i get the output with your command05:05
fred-frirdsm: my mail program seems to be able to open a connection to port 25 too, but i dont see any output produced05:05
rdsmfred-fri, if you telnet you will be sending information for the netcat application.05:05
Daxteri unistalled java7, but java6 isnt running right. java -version reports the OpenJDK, java 1.605:05
b1llyrdsm: any "easier" window manager utilities like xmonad?05:05
fred-frirdsm: right, but i actually want my mail program that im developing to connect to it05:06
fred-frirdsm: which it does, i just dont get any output05:06
fred-frirdsm: even though my mail program is sending stuff there05:06

rdsmb1lly, what do you mean like xmonad? what kind of feature are you looking for?05:07
b1llysomething to manage my windows05:07
dr_willisthats a little vague b1lly05:08
b1llyI want to be able to snap applications/windows to the left/right side of my screen easily05:08
thetinyjesusKeshav: did that fix your problem you were having05:08
rdsmb1lly, gnome...05:08
b1llywith keyboard shortcuts05:08
Keshavthetinyjesus, Probably it should,05:08
ActionParsnipBillyZane: compiz has the grid plugin05:08
Daxterhmm now it seems to work. I don't knwo what to say...05:08
pyro254750billy, if you are running gnome you can use ctrl+alt+ left and right05:08
pyro254750compiz also has similar features05:08
b1llypyro254750: that just switches my workspace05:08
ActionParsnipBillyZane: you can assign a shortcut key to it too (i belive)05:08
b1llycompiz doesnt seem to work on my machine for some reason05:08
b1llyeven though I have it enabled05:08
rdsmfred-fri, you will receive the output of the connection on the terminal with netcat open , I don't remember eSMTP RFC from my mind, you should read the documentation regarding the protocol or install a smtp server on your machine.05:09
pyro254750ah you mean to snap the app from space to space?05:09
thetinyjesusKeshav: thats the benefit of linux always keeps your brain active :P05:09
b1llysure05:09
b1llyyeah05:09
b1llyso if i had 2 apps open05:09
Keshavthetinyjesus, :P05:09
b1llyi can snap one to the leftside taking up 50% and one to the right side taking up 50%05:09
Keshavthetinyjesus, I just wanted even the games to work :D05:09
Keshavthetinyjesus, They would work with Wine but fps is comparatively lower as compared to win05:10
rdsmb1lly,  ctrl+super(windoze key)+ left/right05:10
thetinyjesusKeshav: sometimes its possible to get certain games to work but its hit or miss and a pain in the ass lol05:10
Keshavthetinyjesus, yea that is05:10
Keshavthetinyjesus, true05:10
thetinyjesusKeshav: theres not a lot of documentation on how to do it either05:10
thetinyjesusKeshav: like wine will work for a lot of games but the performance kinda sucks at least in my experience05:11
pyro254750billy: ctrl + alt + num will snap windows to left/right in varying sizes05:11
b1llyrdsm: the left and right dont work05:11
Keshavthetinyjesus, Yeah, but wine does it flawlessly for some games I tried, Yeah the performance is low05:11
b1llyrdsm: only up and down (to maximzied)05:11
b1llypyro254750: that don't work either05:11
b1llyI believe those are both "features" of compiz05:11
Keshavthetinyjesus, Nevermind one or two quarters and we will have steam box for linux as well :D05:11
b1llyand like I said, compiz isn't working properly on my machine05:11
pyro254750ctrl + alt + num is a unity feature05:11
b1llywell it doesn't do anything on my machine05:12
thetinyjesuspsh that would be great playing some CS on linux05:12
Keshavthetinyjesus, Then it would be possible to play games on ubunut too :D :P05:12
pyro254750whatchu talkin bout, its already possible05:12
thetinyjesuspyro254750: with good performance05:13
Keshavthetinyjesus, That torrent thing works great, now no corrupted files :P05:13
thetinyjesusKeshav: good deal man05:13
pyro254750yes, with good performance05:13
thetinyjesuspyro254750: have a guide for it? or is it just wine05:13
pyro254750its wine, but its not just simply launching with wine. youve gotta play with the settings05:13
rdsmb1lly, open system preferences , go to keyboard,  shortcuts tab , navigation option , you should be able to it there.05:14
pyro254750but after a bit of tweaking ive got wow running at 60fps+ on 3 screens05:14
rdsm*you should be able to set it there.05:14
thetinyjesushmm going to have to look into this i wanna play some CS05:14

thetinyjesuspyro254750: i hope so :)05:16
thetinyjesuswould you look at that, 14 hours ago Steam released Ubuntu Beta05:17
pyro254750I also seem to recall reading somewhere that valve was going to be doing alot with steam and linux, which should mean native for most of their games05:17
thetinyjesusit just came out for beta :)05:17
dr_willisthe not so beta beta05:18

rdsmb1lly, sorry , you're right. my mistake, have you tried Ctrl + (Win key) + left or right , and it didn't worked?05:22
pyro254750it looks like they want you to pay for games again for linux version05:23
rdsmb1lly,  Are you using unity? what application are you trying to do it?05:23

dr_willishmm. my games showed a few weeks ago05:25
rdsmb1lly, oh you are using compiz?05:25
ActionParsnipkeshav_: I recommend you make a copy of the file that launches it in /usr/share/applications   and then open it in gedit. You can then make your own options and so forth05:26
b1llyrdsm: I tried to use it, but it doesn't work for me05:26

keshav_ActionParsnip, actually new to Ubuntu, installed it jsut a week ago05:29
kewelactionparsnip: cool .. checking it out ...05:29
ActionParsnipkeshav_: I just gave you it. run the command in terminal05:29
rdsmb1lly, I guess these features are from compiz, unity uses it asbackend.05:30
b1llyyeah, but compiz doesn't work for me05:30
b1llyI can configure the settings05:31
b1llybut nothing I choose in it actually has any effecty05:31
rdsmhave you restarted the graphical interface?05:31
pyro254750rdsm, i had those features on my laptop prior to compiz install, im pretty sure its a unity thing05:31
keshav_sudo cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop /usr/share/applications/my-google-chrome.desktop; gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/my-google-chrome.desktop05:31
keshav_what will the above command do? Is it one? Or any colons that differ it into two commands ActionParsnip05:31
pyro254750also, some apps will not allow the shortcut popup to come up, its best to click on the desktop and THEN hold down the super key05:32
OptimizedCoderIn gdb, how do I redirect the o/p of a certain gdb command to a file (instead of stdout)?05:32
ActionParsnipkeshav_: yes its all one, you can then edit the Exec= line as you wish, and the Display Name line, so that it appears differently in the menus05:32
rdsmpyro254750, ohh yeah, that's is true , you should try it b1lly. also have you tried restarting the graphical interface after config with compiz?05:33
b1llyrdsm: how do I do that05:33
b1llyrdsm: and yeah, I think I have video card issues or compiz is conflicting withs omething05:34
rdsmpyro254750, ctrl + alt + backspace still works?05:34
b1llyrdsm: is there anyway to check if compiz is working properly05:34
keshav_ActionParsnip, it opened two documents in gedit, thats it05:34
rdsmb1lly, compiz is not my strong point , maybe pyro254750 can help you better.05:34
ActionParsnipkeshav_: it should only open one. the desktop file is what manages the menu items. you can then edit it as you wish. You need to make a copy or the updates will overwrite your efforts05:35
pyro254750rdsm, yes ctrl + alt + backspace works, but you have to enable it in keyboard layout options05:35
b1llyctrl+alt+backspace doesnt do anything for me05:36
kewelcool it werked.05:37
thetinyjesusomfg i think i just found my old steam account05:37
pyro254750rdsm, you can also use sudo restart lightdm05:37
rdsmb1lly, sorry man I suggest asking on the channel I am not the best one to help with it , but certainly gnome fits your needs.05:37
rdsmb1lly, I suggest trying this command last informed by pyro25475005:38
XMLnewbiso I accedently edited my original default nginx config file.             I keep reinstalling nginx with sudo apt-get uninstall but files dont change back05:38

thetinyjesuswhattt counter-strike not available for linux steam??05:39
ActionParsnipb1lly: run:  killall -u $USER    and it will do the same05:39
rubiconjoshbilly: I missed what your problem is. Compiz settings are not doing anything?05:39
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: i'd ask in the channel for the app05:39
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: what you mean?05:40
pyro254750billy, you should be able to get compiz settings up with ccsm05:40
rdsmrubiconjosh, shortcuts ctrl+super+left/right are not half-maximizing the app and holding super is not showing the shortcuts.05:40
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: well, this is the channel for ubuntu, is there a channel for steam?05:40
Avinashhi05:40
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: not sure theres a bunch of us figuring it out in here05:41

thetinyjesuspyro254750: is it allowing you to install CS?05:41
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: try in  #ubuntu-steam05:41
thetinyjesuskeshav_: im about to try wine05:42
thetinyjesuskeshav_: soo excited i found my old CS account05:42
pyro254750thetinyjesus: no, so far the only one I can find thats linux compatible is TF205:42

rdsmXMLnewbi, purge instead of uninstall will remove everything including the config files, but I guess that it's easier to find the default config file on google...05:43
Ben64How can I tell which DNS servers a system is currently using? (12.04)05:44

Nach0zmay or may not have a nameserver listed05:44
thetinyjesuspyro254750: any tips on using wine for steam?05:44
rdsmXMLnewbi, just installed nginx here, I can send you the default .conf at pvt if you want.05:44
Ben64ActionParsnip: nice, thanks05:44
pyro254750billy: ccsm is the compiz config settings manager. I personally havent had any issues with it, but actionparsnip indicated that it is known to cause issues05:45
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: why wine for steam, there is a native app05:45
thetinyjesusActionParsnip: counter-strike isn't part of the native app05:45
ActionParsnippyro254750: Billy: there is a warning now when you first use it05:45
ActionParsnipthetinyjesus: i see05:45
Ben64thetinyjesus: steam works really well on wine, i never had a problem with it05:46
pyro254750thetinyjesus: counterstrike should be capable of running independant of steam direct from the .exe. If i were going to try it with wine, thats how I would do it05:46
XMLnewbisure just pastebin it plz05:46
keshav_Ben64, +105:46
njd001i have a stupid user question if i download ubuntu 12.10 desktop will it contain ubuntu liveCD ?05:46
rdsmXMLnewbi, include my nickname when talking to me , otherwise it's hard to see your answer.05:46
rubiconjoshb1lly, What graphics card or graphics chipset do you have?05:47
rdsmXMLnewbi, just a sec, I'm on a fresh install here, no plugin at vim to pastebin.05:47
pyro254750njd001: the 12.04 cd has an option to boot as a live cd, the 12.10 should as well05:47
njd001excellent05:47
b1llywell, I have an nvidia graphics card05:47
b1llybut I couldn't get it to work properly05:47
rubiconjoshb1lly,  Which one and which driver?05:47
njd001my friend here at work said i can use clonentfs to clone the local disk image of the physical disk05:47
ActionParsnipb1lly: pyro254750 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/should-ccsm-be-purged-from-the-ubuntu-repos :)05:47
b1llyso I think it's using the onboard graphics05:47
rubiconjoshb1lly, I have a gtx760 that worked before and after I installed the latest nvidia driver05:48
* njd001 wants to make the corporate image his vm within ubuntu 12.10 :) as i had asked earlier apparently clonentfs will do this :D05:48
rdsmXMLnewbi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1561761/05:48
b1llyrubiconjosh: I tried installing latest drivers and it gave me a lot of trouble05:48
rubiconjoshb1lly,  If you launch the details program and look under graphics what does it say?05:48
njd001not sure if you guys use a knowledge bot but thats a good one to add clonentfs05:48
b1llyrubiconjosh: Driver05:49

jeeves_mosshow can I import the e-mail folder files from my dovecot server back into thunderbird so I can push them to my exchange server?05:49
pyro254750actionparsnip: very intersting, I guess I havent flipped the self destruct switch yet, lol05:49
rubiconjoshb1lly, which nvidia card do you have? and what onboard graphics chipset?05:49
njd001pyro254750 one other good point to ask this laptop im installing on has both nvidia and intel video cards (independent) which one should i make ubuntu 12.10 use?05:49
cloudgeeki am running a program from shell in python ,triangle.py ,i write it in vim and also make it executable but it is giving wrong answer ,but on a online compiler it's giving correct answer! so help me05:49
b1llyI think a geforce gt 435m or 420m05:49
b1llyone of the05:50
b1llyi think its the 42005:50
rubiconjoshb1lly, lspci | grep VGA05:50
ActionParsnipcloudgeek: i'd ask in #python05:50
pyro254750njd001: while im no expert, I suspect that the nvidia will require a proprietary driver installed while the intel will not. If you dont plan to do much 3d rendering (gaming), then I would let ubuntu pick what it wants. otherwise, id use the nvidia.05:51
b1lly00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)05:51
b1lly02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0df1 (rev a1)05:51
ActionParsnipb1lly: is the system a laptop?05:51
njd001pyro254750 its a work laptop and im not much of a gamer ;-)05:52
b1llyyeah05:52
ActionParsnipb1lly: oh then you want bumblebee05:52
njd001but great insight thanks!05:52
rubiconjoshOh, you have the optimus setup05:52
zykotick9b1lly: do did need to use lspci -v to get both cards to output like that right?05:52
b1llyrubiconjosh: yeah, I remeber reading about that somewhere05:52
rubiconjoshb1lly, I have never configured that, the m at the end of the card name should have tipped me off05:52
pyro254750njd001: in that case I would just let ubuntu pick its own drivers. Either card should have more than enough for what you are doing. I have an older laptop running with compiz, and its very smooth, all using built in ubuntu drivers05:52
njd001pyro254750: I have a thinkpad T43005:52
thetinyjesusso far so good steam seems to be installing cs through wine perfect05:52
b1llyzykotick9: no05:52
zykotick9b1lly: interesting, thanks.05:53
b1llyActionParsnip: what is bumblebee05:53
rubiconjoshb1lly, sorry I do not know anything about the optimus setup other than installing the regular nvidia driver will not work and will probably cause X to not run05:53
ActionParsnipb1lly: its a project to accomodate switchable GPUs using nvidia (aka Optimus)05:54
b1llyis it on software center?05:54
ActionParsnip!optimus05:54
ActionParsnip!bumblebee05:54

MichaelPWhat is better for a live usb stick ext2 or fat32 ?05:55
ActionParsnipMichaelP: fat32 is advised in the guides05:56
b1llyActionParsnip: ok, installing05:56
MichaelPActionParsnip, okthanks05:56
ActionParsnipb1lly: bumblebee is far from perfect05:56
dr_willisMichaelP:  the live tools will normally wan tto use fat*05:56

antonio__686 is 64 bit, right?06:53
tripelbmy friends. i have now deleted my extra partitions and will create new ones. it took 2 patient days to get an answer here but it was nowhere on tje foir how to repartion webpages, askubumtu (sic) and ubuntuforums and linuxbsdos and howtoplaza. Whew. -- now I have 22963 of space and 1G of RAM06:53
SwedeMikeantonio__: no.06:53
ActionParsnipantonio__: thats the arch of the kernel, won't necessarily match the cpu :)06:54
antonio__how can I tell what my cpu is?06:54
SwedeMikeantonio__: x86_64 means it's a 64bit kernel06:54
SwedeMikeantonio__: cat /proc/cpuinfo06:54
aeon-ltdis there any problem in having / as ext2 and /home as ext4?06:54
ActionParsnipantonio__: cat /proc/cpuinof | grep -i model    then use the web to find out06:54
ActionParsnipaeon-ltd: none at all :)06:54
tripelbso i shold make 2 G of swap amd the rest /  ... AmIRite?06:54
ActionParsnipaeon-ltd: ext2 has no journal, so sudden power offs will be a bit scary06:55
aeon-ltdActionParsnip: thanks, what about performance or errors? is journaling worth reinstalling / for?06:55
ActionParsniptripelb: yes, you have less than 2Gb RAM so double RAM as swap is good06:55
tripelbActionParsnip: can home be ntfa? i have been.wondering.that.06:55
ActionParsnipaeon-ltd: you can add a journal to ext2 to make it into ext306:56
tripelbok. wow am happy ActionParsnip06:56
antonio__swedemike: this is the pastebin I got from that process06:56
ActionParsniptripelb: no, but you can have a small (2Gb) /home partition then store casual data like images and music etc on the NTFS06:56
ActionParsniptripelb: you can then symlink to the ntfs for easy access06:57
antonio__I think its 64 bit, not sure though06:57
ActionParsnip antonio__: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i model06:57

dr_willisampalaya:  you can scan the network to see all pcs on the network via nmap  - it should show most all of them07:21
ampalayaeverything. all the services a client is running07:21
dr_willisampalaya:  what if a pc on the network is not using the services :)   you want to know abbout it also?07:21

ripthejackerriply, i already specified i want to do it using console because i want to do this in a script08:34
riplyripthejacker, so you want to open it, from within a script, with how many open tabs?08:34
ripthejackerok i think i'm creating an x-y problem08:35
ripthejackerriply, what i want to do is to start two different servers from one script08:35
aposwhy the need for the extra tab?08:35
ripthejackerso one way is to make one of them run in background08:35
antonio__exit08:36
ripthejackerbut i want to monitor both of them08:36

aposwhy the need for the extra tab??08:36

historipthejacker: why not just start a new terminal?08:50
historipthejacker: if you are tabbing them isn't that the same thing as jobs?  You could also use nohup so it doesn't exit when the shell dies08:50
historipthejacker: since you cant view both tabs at once.08:51

dr_willisinverse:  you asked what was 'best' - its very handy to have the linux install totally on itss own hard drive on your  desktop machine.10:26
inversei noticed on the website that you can download the Windows installer for Ubuntu10:26
inverseany benefit to that?10:26
auronandaceinverse: avoid wubi if you can10:26
dr_willisinverse:  thats 'wubi' ....  dont use wubi.10:26
dr_willisthats a far far way from 'best'10:26
dr_willis;)10:26
IdleOneinvariant: in response to your question I suppose you could write a script that looks for newer installed version of the kernel headers and removes the old ones. I wouldn't know how to do that though.10:27
inverselol10:27
invariantIdleOne, yes, I thought of that myself already.10:27
inverseokie well i want to install it on my hard drive, is there another way to do that without using Wubi?10:27
invariantIdleOne, and I can write that script.10:27
IdleOneinvariant: well then, get to it :)10:27
invariantIdleOne, however, I thought Ubuntu was for human beings, meaning that such things should already work.10:27
dr_willisinverse:  the  normal install CCAN  dual boot from a single hard drive. you just need to resize your windows partions during install.10:27
dr_willisinverse:   be  sure to make backups of your system first..10:28
invariantIdleOne, these are practical features that an OS should have (clearning up the mess it creates)10:28
dr_willisinverse:  a power failure during resizeing = bad...10:28
ikoniainvariant: stop10:28
ikoniainvariant: leaving legacy kernels in place is not a mess10:28
inversejust out of curiosity, what's wrong with Wubi?10:28
inversejust for my own general knowledge.10:28
IdleOneinvariant: feel free to create the script and package it, it may some day get added as a default.10:28
invariantikonia, leaving a few around is not a problem.10:28
ikoniainvariant: apt-get has clean up fuctions to remove obsolote packages, which you can run if you need to10:28
dr_willisinverse:  its fragile.  pron to crashing/brekaage. and hard to fix10:28
invariantikonia, leaving 15 around is a problem.10:28
ikoniainvariant: then remove them,10:28
inversehmm.10:29
ikoniainvariant: see if the apt-get clean up functions mark them as obsolte10:29
dr_willisThey finally  got rid of that 'computer janitor' tool. ;) it caused more problems then it fixed10:29
ikonia(which will auto remove them)10:29

lauksashi all, looking for an advice about ubuntu... I thinking to migrate to kubuntu, since unity is full of bugs, someone can tell me the pros and cons?10:31

inversei have a lot of questions concerning Ubuntu, i'm glad someone is here.10:31

dr_willislauksas:  its trivial to have both desktops installed on the same system. you can switch  easially10:32

biancaKartagis i have no idea what that means10:33

andygraybealcan someone briefly explain a "rolling release"  ... sounds like "moving target" to me :P12:31
jrib!sru | andygraybeal12:32
ubottuandygraybeal: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates12:32
PatrickDickeyandygraybeal: It basically is a moving target. They set up a specific timeframe, and continually create new versions.  Think major versions not so much the .1 or .3 versions.12:32
jribandygraybeal: that's ubuntu's update policy.  On a stable release, they just keep updating things to new versions as they are released12:32
=== ulti-cleaner is now known as commode-man
jribandygraybeal: s/stable/rolling release/ sorry :)12:32
cfhowlettandygraybeal, consider that LTS releases are every 2 years, supported for 5 years.  Interim releases are every 6 months, supported for 2 years.  NOW: eliminate the interim release.  You'd have LTS's with point releases i.e. 12.4, 12.4.1, etc.12:32
MonkeyDustandygraybeal  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release12:32
BluesKajandygraybeal, a rolling release doesn't have any dated releases, the OS is constantly upgraded12:32
andygraybealthank you guys12:33
PatrickDickeybizhanMona: was it flashfrom.net or flashfrom.org? I ask, because I can't get to flashfrom.org.12:33
PatrickDickeybizhanMona: try joining #flashrom and ask there. That's their channel for IRC. I'd imagine they'll be able to guide you better than we can.12:35

blackangeli have the 5XXXX its supported but when i try to install the latest driver it show me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1559445/12:37
adamkThe log specifically mentions the need to have the kernel headers installed... Do you have them installed?12:38
blackangeli honestly dont know how to verify that :(12:39
blackangeli am learning12:39
PatrickDickeyblackangel: you need to run sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)12:39
* PatrickDickey easier to give the command, since kernel-headers doesn't exist.12:40
blackangelPatric that code gives unable to locate package12:40
PatrickDickeyblackangel:  one second then.12:41
dr_willis!headers12:41
ubottuTo install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages12:41
dr_willisdone a sudo apt-get update recently?12:42
blackangelyes12:42
blackangeljust did it12:42
blackangelcarzy i try again now it worked12:42
cfhowlettserious question ... I just learned that macs keeps a log of EVERY file you download.  Does linux/ubuntu also?12:42
Ben64dr_willis: that doesn't seem like the best way to install headers12:42
=== Jikan is now known as Jikai
Ben64I'd do... sudo apt-get install linux-headers`uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g`12:43
dr_willisit worked for someone just 10 min ago12:43
* PatrickDickey hopes ubuntu doesn't keep track of every file I downloaded... it might get jealous of all the Fedora iso's that I got. :P12:43
Ben64pretty sure ubottu's method only works for the current kernel, and then doesn't get new headers when the kernel changes12:44
blackangeltrying to install the driver lest see12:44
dr_willisthey needed the headers and sorce12:44
PatrickDickeyBen64: what exactly does your version of the command do? And for what blackangel needed, he only needs the current version.12:44
* PatrickDickey or she*12:44

=== MartinS is now known as Guest34094
seednodeWell, as other users have said, you'll probably have to mount them manually14:04
JerusalemTi got that part.14:05
seednodeSo, say you have files on a fourth drive (after the default /, /home, and /boot)14:05
JerusalemTmy question is in what file is the "places" info stored?14:05
ThinkT510JerusalemT: are you running 10.04?14:05
PiciJerusalemT: What are you looking for? The names of the locations you mounted?14:05
seednodeYou'd use 'mount /dev/sda4 /mount/point/here' (Assuming sda4 is the disk)14:05
JerusalemTso how do i figure out what /dev/??? is?14:06
blezI downloaded the 12.10 version14:06
ThinkT510JerusalemT: sudo fdisk -l14:06
seednodeBluesKaj, that was a legitimate question; "it's a file that runs in windows" So you boot into Windows with Ubuntu running over it?14:06
ThinkT510JerusalemT: or launch gparted14:06
JerusalemTmaking progress14:07
JerusalemTfound em14:08
blezI already downloaded it from http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/12.10/wubi.exe14:08
BluesKajseednode, you can boot directly into the wubi/ubuntu file , but it's still running inside windows , not on top., if you want to run windows and ubuntu , dual booting is the best method14:08
seednodeSo, explain again14:08
seednodeIf it's running INSIDE Windows14:08
seednodeDoesn't the mean Windows must also run?14:08
seednodeYour terminology here is ambiguous14:09
ikoniaseednode: it's running within the windows file system14:09
ikoniaseednode: nothing else14:09
ThinkT510seednode: what he means is that the file is located on the windows partition14:09
seednodeAh, that makes more sense14:09
Piciseednode: it can make changing the boot paramaters tough, and upgrading can be painful as well.14:09
seednodeCan you not, then, create an ext4 filesystem on a second hard drive?14:09
ikoniaseednode: you certainly can14:09
seednodeAnd mount that as /home?14:09
ikoniaseednode: you can do whatever you want14:09
seednodeJust making sure14:09
seednodeHe was kinda making it sound like you were limited to NTFS14:10
ikoniaseednode: it doesn't run on NTFS14:10
Piciseednode: Its not actually NTFS, its a disk image in a file.14:10
ikoniait runs on a file system stored within a file on an NTFS partition14:10
seednodeAh, so it's kinda like a Virtual machine, then?14:10
ikoniano14:10
seednodeExcept without Windows in the background?14:10
ikoniano14:10
seednodeIf it's not a true boot14:10
ikoniait's nothing like a virtual machine14:10
seednodeNor emulation14:10
FloodBot1ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.14:10

blezPatrickDickey the thing is, that I'm having a tablet/laptop with Intel Atom, it has Windows 8, but I want to dual boot ubuntu. I just got a new minisd card and I'm trying wubi14:13
seednodeI'm curious; if wubi is that unsafe AND convoluted, why does Canonical distribute it?14:13
seednodeSeems like a bad idea.14:13
blezthe thing is that the tablet has UEFI, and it doesn't see my bootable usb drive14:13
ikoniaseednode: it's not "unsafe"14:14
cfhowlettseednode, wubi is for testing.  used as it's intended, it's great14:14
ikoniaseednode: it is restricted a little more than a normal install14:14
k1lseednode: its for testing purposes. to let the windows user see what its about14:14
seednodeYou said it's less safe than using it in a VM14:14
ikoniaseednode: it's only unsafe if people use it incorrectly14:14
ikoniaseednode: yes, less safe is not the same as "unsafe"14:14
PatrickDickeyblez: That's because Microsoft conviced (ok, demanded) that tablet makers lock their UEFI boots down.14:14
ikoniapersonally - I don't find it safe, because so many users break their systems by not researching what they are doing14:14
blezwhat's why I'm trying minisd now, but one guy told me that ubuntu's installer don't see the GPT partitions14:14
ikoniabut that is a user problem, not a product problem14:14

ubottutobyjones8: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic16:12

pyro254750vitor: you can burn the image natively from within ubuntu. If im not mistaken you have to purchase the iso to use the usb/dvd download tool, and it downloads the iso and burns it for you. So what that means for you, is that since you have purchased a license, you can download the .iso from torrent or newsgroups and use your legal serial and have a 100% legit copy of windows17:13
pyro254750vitor: that would allow you to burn the image natively and not have to mess with wine17:14

shock_oneHi. Is there any way to make Ubuntu wake up faster? It takes about 8 seconds compared to 2 in OS X on the same hardware.18:59
MonkeyDustshock_one  more swap, maybe19:00
rypervenchemakerbreakr: It may be because it is overwriting an old file, in which case using mv -f may work.19:01
LIDHdid that but it failed, maybe i'm doing it wrong19:01
LIDHdid exactly as you typed here19:01
roger_padactorI installed a ubuntu image on ec2 the other day and when looking at the http conf folder it was missing the site-available and sites-enabled.  how do I have that setup?19:01
makerbreakrrypervenche, no go19:02
shock_oneMonkeyDust, I don't have swap. As far as I know sleep (S3 mode) doesn't use HDD to store information from memory. How would swap help?19:02
makerbreakri was able to have the exit code 127 and reboot the machien though, rather than restart lightdm19:02
rypervenchemakerbreakr: I don't know what the 127 exit code is for though, so I can't say.19:02
makerbreakri think its something to do with the way lightdm specifically works19:02
RobinJin which channel do i need to be for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=synlnIErJKU ?19:02
rypervenchemakerbreakr: not possible. You probably didn't have a 127 exit code that time that you did.19:03

ErdMutterOerHeks: Thank you, I will read though it. :)20:12
jribcrawln: so you just want to rename them at this point or do you want to redo the converting and get the name right from the start?20:12
ultreiadisharmonic- then the problem must be in the window manager rather than in X. I can understand unity being a failure, but not so for kde20:12
crawlnget the name right from the start20:12
KeyboardNotFoundHi, i joined added monitor into the VGA port on my laptop, but I see the same monitor I see the laptop, how do I monitor to see one workspace and the other monitor (laptop) other workspace?20:12

crawlnbut that's just annoying lol20:12
crawlnwanna do it right from the beginning20:12
disharmonicultreia, it's what has me perplexed as well. On top of that E17 works fine20:13
jribcrawln: try this example in your shell: foo=file.mkv; echo ${foo}; echo ${foo%.mkv}20:13
jrtappersKeyboardNotFound, to stop them being in clone use the display settings20:13
jrtapperstype in "Display" at the launcher, it should come up20:14
ultreiadisharmonic- perhaps it is something in your xinitrc file?20:14
disharmonici didn't touch that but i'll tke a look. is there a log of recently updated/installed packages?20:15
crawlni see how that is20:15
jribcrawln: ok, so now you know how to modify your command?20:15

crawlni was more worried about the correct placing of the file%20:19
ultreiadisharmonic- did these problems begin when you switched from one WM to the other?20:19
disharmonicultreia, no. I see some mesa packages in my dpkg log, which is weird20:20
jribcrawln: not exactly.20:21
=== thor__ is now known as juegas
jribcrawln: put an "echo" before your "avconv" and run what you have.  That way you will have the command printed and can understand what is wrong20:22
ultreiadisharmonic- I am sorry, I have no definite ideas. Perhaps a reinstall of kde?20:23

tdignani's another article from 200820:28
tdignan5 year old instructions are not for me20:28
disharmonicultreia, i think mesa got pulled by the Update manager and overwrote some AMD libs. Since i'm using a custom fglrx package apt probably doesn't have the mesa stuff as conflicting with fglrx20:28
tdignanit says nothing about photos, either.20:28

KjubertI have a question: is the Ubuntu-Software-Center generally downloading .deb-files for installing software? Because for some software you cant find deb-packages for download online and i would like to gather these by copying possible temporary deb-packages the software-center is using. is there a way??20:32
crawlnthanks man appreciated20:32
jribcrawln: you might be interested in http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/Parameters20:32
crawlnthanks20:32
PiciKjubert: the software center is just a wrapper around apt-get, it downloads and installs debs. They're all available in our repositories and you can download them manually with your browser if you want too.20:34
g16_Kjubert: look into /var/cache/apt/archives20:35

crawlndinar2 one of the things i had to do is make a symlink to the folder under my home folder20:40
crawlnto get deluge to be able to make folders and put files in the folders20:40
dinar2thank you20:40
crawlnit wouldn't do it under /mount/folder/{new folder}20:40
dinar2that is strange, i ll try20:40
disharmonicwell this is frustrating.20:40
crawlnit worked for me was having issues with flexget pushing new folder commands to deluge20:41
crawlnafter making the symlink it worked20:41
crawlnbecause the ntfs drive is all root:root20:41
crawlnleast with my system20:41
crawlnand changing permissions on the folders didn't take on the ntfs drive20:41
crawlnprobably because of the way it mounts to the system20:42
Bsimscrawln: why not just start your file manager as root20:42
tdignanthanks to everyone who helped. booting into the dark side to sync the iphone :)20:42

disharmonicLooks like enabling tear free desktop did the trick. Or rather it seems to have worked around the issue as my mouse still disappears if i leave it static20:53
disharmonicultreia, see above20:53
NielsMknI have a small problem. I'm trying to install flareget on ubuntu 10.04 but I get an error as it requires libqt4-network (version >= 4.4.8)20:54
fredbulahconnecting a usb hub with 3 flash drives only fires a udev rule [which creates a separate mount point for each usb device] once. all 3 devices get mounted but the affected udev rule fires only once, was expecting it to fire once per device. is this a problem or is this working as designed?20:54
ultreiadisharmonic- strange about the mouse pointer20:54

crawlnyeah the default on 12.04 is 4.4.8.121:02
PiciNielsMkn: You don't need to use unity.21:02
MonkeyDustNielsMkn  you don't have to, install a different DE and use that, fallback is very similar to gnome221:02
ThinkT510NielsMkn: you dont have to, there is kde, xfce, enlightenment, lxde21:02

NielsMknalright thanks, gtg now later21:12
ultreiaUltraParadigm- that means no driver recognizes your card. you can only get a different kind of sound card21:12
ActionParsnipultreia: favourite is an opinion. xfce was started in 1996, just like gnome21:13
ultreiaActionParsnip- xfce must have been little used in 1996, it was unheard of then21:13

CuteGuy1Hey there. I'm trying to rip some DVDs using an old IDE DVD burner hooked into an USB external enclosure. Yet my system does not mount the DVD, eve if lsusb does recognize the usb. How can I rip the DVDs? Is there any workaround to mount the DVD? Thanks in advance...22:10

CuteGuy1monkeydust: I do not know how to manually mount.22:13
yeatscjae: it won't be supported here in any case - if that's not reason enough, I would expect system breakage and dependency problems22:13
ultreiacjae- because the drivers for 10.10 are a different kernel version, and you will likely end up with a non-booting system, or a crippled system if you are lucky22:13

dpurgerticeroot, not really sure -- I edit configs manually ... um, lemme try digging around23:24
jhutchinsdpurgert: Right, with DHCP all of the options are set from the server.23:24
jhutchinsdpurgert: With a text-based config you can override some of them.23:25
icerootdpurgert: i am facing a bug? that since 12.04 my system is not reporting the hostname to the router, so i cant use hostnames on my network, when i enter my hostname manually in that field its working, so i want to create a bug23:25

ubottuiceroot: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.23:26
dpurgerticeroot, um, sounds more like an issue with your router having wrong (internal) DNS information than anything23:26
icerootbean: yes i know...23:26
icerootbean: read my text...23:26
icerootdpurgert: how should my router get the dns information when the client is not sending them?23:26
shwaiilyeats: thanks it worked23:26
steedhello from Hellas23:26
dpurgerticeroot,  it would have it because it generates the DNS table when the host asks for an IP address lease23:27
subcooldpurgert, k- thanks..23:27
yeatsshwaiil: great23:28
dpurgertsubcool, um, what'd I do?23:28
icerootdpurgert: hm ok, i thought the field http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/nm-applet.png  "DHCP CLient-Kennung" needs to be filled by default23:28
icerootdpurgert: when doing it by hand as the screen shows, my router is showing the hostname instead of the ip for connected devices23:28
anthony__yes. im using 11.10. not 10.04. the output is a bunch of numbers and letters. i cant copy and paste cause im on my tablet23:28
jhutchinsanthony__: You can read them.23:28
biancaarrrgh i love you guys23:29
jhutchinsanthony__: Are you getting an ip4 address?23:29
bianca<323:29
subcooldpurgert, you helped me understand MBR and grub23:29
dpurgerticeroot, that's a client identifier, not the system hostname (in theory ... could be the same I suppose ... like I said, I don't use network manager)23:29
anthony__im not typing thewhole thing out. its too much23:29
k1l_bianca: keep in mind, that searching in the ubuntu-repos is the first way to do.no donwloading anywhere :)23:29
beananthony__: well, we have to have information to help.23:30
jhutchinsbianca: You got it working?23:30
bianca:)23:30
dpurgertanthony__, do ifconfig | pastebinit (note, pastebin command might be misspelt)23:30
beandpurgert: he doesn't have network... so that won't really work23:30
biancayeah, hardware acceleration and everything :323:30
icerootdpurgert: i will have a look if there are known bugs for "fritzbox" because it was working some time ago then i changed my fritzbox and upgraded to 12.04 :)23:30
ademoneanyone?23:31
dpurgertbean, I assumed (incorrectly it seems) that he was on the same machine, maybe wireless23:31
anthony__wat do u neet? the inet6 addr?23:31
dpurgertanthony__, are you using ipv6 across your network, or ipv4 ?23:31
ActionParsnipademone: if windows says to format it then the FAT may be damaged23:32

ubottuUbuntu bug 115426 in dhcp (Ubuntu) "Computer name is not recognized by DHCP of FRITZ!Box" [Low,Confirmed]23:33
ademonecan i do something? or i have to format the HDD23:33
anthony__ipv6 i think. but im not positive23:33
ActionParsnipademone: i'd format it then restore data from backup23:33
ademonehow23:33
ademonethis disk is my backup23:34
beananthony__: well, we can't really help without more info then... Can you like, even, take a picture of it and upload it somewhere?23:34
jhutchinsbianca: What did you end up with that finally worked?23:35
dpurgertactually -- if you're using IPV4, you'll see both ... do you see one (e.g. 192.168.1.100, or 169.x.x.x)?23:35
steednvidia drivers are necessary on ubuntu?23:36
beansteed: video drivers are necessary on any os23:36
anthony__i thought of a way. but itll take a couple minutes23:36
steedbean i use now the aytomatic drivers nuveau, nuveau are nvidia?23:37
jhutchinsdpurgert: It's unlikely pastbinit will work if he doesn't have a network connection.23:37
biancathat additional drivers thing seems to really work, xD with the update driver, plus the hardware acceleration part near the bottom of this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Installing_via_the_command_line23:37
dpurgertjhutchins, yeah ... figured he was making do with a (USB) wifi card ...23:37
jhutchinsanthony__: If you're going to keep trying to do things other than answer the questions you're asked you're not going to get it fixed.23:37
ActionParsnipademone: then format the device and then make a fresh backup (if the device is the backup then the original data still stands)23:38
jhutchinsanthony__: You don't need to paste the output of the commands, you need to read and understand it.23:38
biancaalthough it did say it wasnt working after i first put them 2 lines in for the harware acceleration, but it was working after i restarted so :)23:38
ademoneyeah but i have data that i dont have on my desktop23:38
jhutchinsbianca: Great, now those of us who DON'T have nvida can pass that along!23:38
ademoneat the external HDD i mean23:39
jhutchinsademone: Not if you formatted it.23:39
icerootdpurgert: just for your info, its a fritzbox bug and an ubuntu bug, ubuntu is not sending the correct identifier and the fritzbox is then ignoring the complete hostname task https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dhcp/+bug/115426/comments/623:40
ubottuUbuntu bug 115426 in dhcp (Ubuntu) "Computer name is not recognized by DHCP of FRITZ!Box" [Low,Confirmed]23:40
biancanoo its amd :323:40
ademonejhutchins: i cant understand23:40
ActionParsnipademone: then you could use foremost to maybe get data back. You will need an equal amount of writable free space as foremost will spit all files out that it finds to the folder23:40
biancaoh >< nvm23:40
ActionParsnipademone: you will also lost file names23:40
anthony__i understand most of it. but wat do i need this info for. what do i do with it23:40
beananthony__: we just need to know if it has a valid address23:41
beananthony__: what is the output of "ip addr"23:42
anthony__so wat do i need to do then23:42
jhutchinsanthony__: Seeing if you have an address is the first step of seeing if you can connect.23:42
ActionParsnipademone: foremost is not perfect, files may be damaged too, so you may only get halfimages etc.23:42
jhutchinsanthony__: You still haven't answered the question of whether you have an ipv4 address.23:42
ademoneahh23:43
blob4000is this the right channel to ask about building a package (virtualbox-guest-additions-iso) from source, so that i can make a small change in the source before installing?23:43
=== ukdkbr is now known as hxqxoe
ActionParsnipademone: I suggest you review your backup regime, it is clearly not appropriate23:43
beananthony__: what is the output of "ip addr"23:44
blob4000i'm using apt-get source to get the package's source, i just want to know the next steps for working with the tar.gz source, making changes, and recompiling + installing23:44
dpurgertActionParsnip, I send the important stuff to FTP ;)23:44
beani just dont back up anything23:44
beanand write all docs, etc, on google dos23:44
ActionParsnipbean: that'll bite you in the ass one day23:44
beanActionParsnip: eh, i just try to keep everything important in the cloud23:45
beanaware that its bad practice though23:45
ademonethanx a lot23:45
ActionParsnipbean: thats a backup then :)23:45
beanis certainly not what I do at work23:45
bean:p23:45
ademonei propably will lose my files23:45
ActionParsnipbean: not bad practice, its pretty sweet23:45
ademone:(23:45
dpurgert... trouble is, it doesn't seem to get mirrored anywhere :)  ... guess we can't all be good enough for that to happen23:45
beanActionParsnip: certainly means more disk space for the disposable files23:45
ActionParsnipademone: try foremost. you should run a better backup, you wouldn't have an issue then. that's what a backup is to prevent23:46
anthony__im lookin at "inet6" "hwaddr" those are the 2 addrresses from "ifconfig eth0". "ip addr" gives mostly the same23:46
ActionParsnipbean: I have about 1Gb of data in $HOME, the rest is on my file server23:47
beanmakes sense23:47
dpurgertanthony__, is there an ipv4 address? (i.e. inet addr:192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or something)23:47
=== Guest80803 is now known as ryanclancy000
wjtaylor_anyone know of a util that will stress test my video card?23:48
jhutchinsanthony__: You still haven't told us if you have an ipv4 address.23:49
anthony__no. just one with numbers and letters23:49
=== c_smith is now known as c_smith_away
jhutchinsanthony__: Ok, so we know at least that you don't have an address.23:50
dpurgertodd that you're running ipv6-only on a home network.  you have an IPV6-only address on the computer you're using to talk to us?23:50
beandpurgert: he's on his tablet.23:50
beananthony__: what happens when you type "dhclient eth0"23:51
anthony__i have inet6 nothin that looks like ipv4.23:51
jhutchinsanthony__: Do you have link lights on the computer & the modem?23:51
dpurgertbean, tablet is still a computer, and shou... ohhhh, 3G?23:51
beandpurgert: no, its just his computer can't get an address from the router over the wire, it sounds like23:51
icerootwhich dhcpclient is network-manager using by default? dhcp3-client is not installed on this system and i dont know any other clients23:51
jhutchinsdpurgert: Not odd, cards auto-configure ipv6 even if they don't have a connection.23:51
dpurgertbean, right -- trying to get a test case from a working connection ...23:52
=== c_smith_away is now known as c_smith
dpurgertjhutchins, and would, in theory also have a 169.x.x.x IPV4 address (unless Ubuntu just straight doesn't show it ... )23:53
jhutchinsanthony__: Do you have link lights on the computer & the modem?23:53
anthony__yes i have link lights. thats the first thing i checked. and i put in ddhclient eth0. nothing happend. no output23:53
jhutchinsdpurgert: No, not on linux.23:53
beananthony__: ok, now does ifconfig eth0 show an address?23:53
jhutchinsbean: He said he didn't have ipv4.  Hasn't told us if the link lights are on.23:53
dpurgertjhutchins, fair enough ... been a while since I've fought with the connection ...23:54
beanjhutchins: i told him to run dhclient eth023:54
beanhoping that i'd grab one23:54
jhutchinsHe's hopeless, I give up.  G'nite guys.23:54
dpurgertanthony__, you spelled it wrong -- it's "dhclient eth0" ... not "ddhclient..."23:54
beananthony__: does "ifconfig eth0" show "UP BROADCAST MULTICAST" somewhere23:54
dpurgertg'nite23:54
anthony__ifconfig eth0 shows hwaddr and inet6. it shows UP BOADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST. and i spelled dhclient wrong on herr cuse im on my tablet and its hardv to type23:57
dpurgertanthony__, ok, no worries :)23:57
beananthony__: okay, does "dig +short google.com" work23:58
dpurgertjhutchins, wait ... isn't the 169.254.0.0/16 block part of some RFC?23:59
