edward-sanhmm, I forgot about the gcc-snapshot package... I don't need to go unsecure00:24
west333anthony__ you could try  sudo lshw -c network  that should bring up all of the network info,  then get the chipset name and the driver name00:24

ultreiaanthony__ > you mentioned your xbox working fine. does your dsl modem (or dsl modem) have more than one place to plug in an ethernet cable, or are you just using one single modem/router plug for various things?00:24

kunaishurikenDoes anyone know how to multiseat with tty, but NOT X?00:38
ultreiajhutchins- I am thinking that anthony's dsl box might have multiple ports but still be just a dsl modem, in which case his isp might be filtering connections based on mac address, with his xbox being the currently accepted mac address00:39

anthony__would it stilll show up in terminal after a sudo command if it was fried?00:53

thetinyjesusAnyone?01:03
anthony__i no what ur thinkin. im doin it now01:04
elkyarch stop that01:04
thetinyjesusoops sorry didnt see chat01:04
thetinyjesusis there things that are compatible with ubuntu that are not with linux mint?01:04
archelky01:04
archstupid nooboontus01:04
archnoobuntu01:04
elkythetinyjesus, ubuntu users get to get support from this large community. mint users have to try find someone in their small community.01:04
ultreiaanthony__ > if you have nothing to lose on the entire drive, no windows at all, there is a command "dd" which should be used before reinstalling ubuntu01:04
thetinyjesuselky: is it because the two are not compatible with each other?01:05
beanultreia: not really...01:05
icerootthetinyjesus: they are not supported here01:05
icerootthetinyjesus: so if you are facing issues with mint you have to use other support ressources01:05
bean!derivatives | thetinyjesus01:05
ubottuthetinyjesus: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux)01:05
anthony__so go into terminal and put in dd?01:05
elkythetinyjesus, no, but we ubuntu users don't know all the mint changes, so we can't give support for it01:05
icerootthetinyjesus: but normally they are compatible01:05
icerootthetinyjesus: i would suggest to try out ubuntu01:06
beananthony__: no, i would just reinstall, and just be sure to tell it to use the whole disk, not "replace" just use entire disk01:06
elkythetinyjesus, the same way redhat won't support centos01:06
thetinyjesusiceroot: the problem I had with ubuntu is i really disliked unity after using it for a couple weeks, and really enjoyed cinnamon otherwise i'd just use ubuntu01:06
ultreiaanthony__ > what you would do is boot the flash drive, and enter the "dd" command from it's console, before installing01:06
beanultreia: why, there's no point01:06
beanultreia: the disk is going to get formatted anyways01:07
ultreiabean- it will by default get a quick format which doesn't erase any of the garbage already there01:07
beanultreia: i question whether you know what you're talking about there.01:08
anthony__ok.dovi hit"try ubuntu"? how do i get to the console01:08
thetinyjesusas far as stability goes, are they equals to each other, as in ubuntu releases an update will linux mint receive the same update or does mint specifically go through the updates and choose which ones they want to add01:08
ultreiaanthony__ > ask bean01:08
icerootthetinyjesus: you should ask the mint channel how they handle updates01:08
icerootthetinyjesus: mint is not supported here01:08
iceroot!mint | thetinyjesus01:09
ubottuthetinyjesus: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org01:09
beananthony__: just go to "install ubuntu"01:09
elkythetinyjesus, the bits you touch will be mint changes and they can't just get those from ubuntu developers. you'd have to wait for mint to fix the problems01:09
thetinyjesusiceroot: alright, last question is ubuntu 12.04 more stable and smoother running than 12.10? i know its a long term release but are there features in 12.10 that make it run better01:09
beananthony__: and from there go through stuff until you get to "Installation type", from there do the "Erase Disk and install ubuntu" option01:09
beanbetter is a very relative term, thetinyjesus01:10
thetinyjesusbean: better to me would be smoother running, faster response, i don't care about having to reinstall sooner than LT editions01:11
icerootthetinyjesus: i would say 12.04 is more stable then 12.1001:11
thetinyjesusbean: also more universal compatible I say this because for example on Steam's website they say to download 12.04 not 12.1001:11
icerootthetinyjesus: its tested for a longer time, its using better tested software (older)01:12
ultreiathetinyjesus, if Steam is important to you, that would be major consideration01:12
icerootthetinyjesus: steam is working fine here on 12.04 but the games are running better on 12.10 because 12.10 comes with a newer xorg-intel package01:12
anthony__ok imdoing it nowok01:13
thetinyjesusiceroot: is it true that you should never upgrade your linux distribution only fresh install, also as far as older software goes would that mean when firefox / google chrome release updates 12.04 will not get for a longer period of time01:13
ultreiathetinyjesus- upgrade are like rolling dice01:13
beanthetinyjesus: you can upgrade ubuntu installations. I know that Mint recommends a clean install01:13
beanYeah, I don't really /like/ doing upgrades to be honest.01:14
icerootthetinyjesus: upgrades are working ok, no need for fresh installed01:14
beanA bit scary...01:14
beanI actually tried a 10.04 -> 12.04 a while back01:14
beanon a vm01:14
beandidn't end well01:14
icerootthetinyjesus: normally a program will never get a major update just a security update but there are a few exceptions like browsers, mailclients (thunderbird), libreoffice and so on01:14
icerootthetinyjesus: but the base-system will not hit major-updates within one ubuntu release01:14
thetinyjesusbean: so technically with ubuntu i could install 12.10, and when a beta of 13.04 comes out i could "upgrade" to that and as new betas come out it will be a rolling update so once 13.04 was fully released I would already have all the files?01:15
ultreiathetinyjesus- does Steam only recommend buntu?01:15
icerootthetinyjesus: yes01:15
icerootultreia: yes01:15
beanthetinyjesus: i suppose you could, yes.01:15
beanthetinyjesus: keep in mind that 13.04 is only supported in #ubuntu+1 though01:16
thetinyjesusiceroot: so ubuntu 12.04 would use older versions of firefox etc, 12.10 would use a newer version but i would have to manually install the newest version of those programs ?01:16
icerootthetinyjesus: no01:16
thetinyjesusbean: as in if i had issues i would use a different IRC channel ?01:16
anthony__i tried booting from te flash but it did the hdd first instead. i have the boot sequence as removables first.ill take the hdd off thensequence all together and se wheere thst gets me01:16
icerootthetinyjesus: programs like browsers (as i said) will hit major updates within one ubuntu release01:16
thetinyjesusiceroot: oh my bad dude01:16

escottlupin, use the 64bit image unless you have a small amount of ram <2GB or so01:55
lupinescott: i5 with 4gb ram nvidia graphics01:56
Ben64i'd say use the 64bit anyway, its easier to upgrade ram than architecture01:56

=== STF_ is now known as STFiswrong
ultreia64 is always pretty perfect on an AMD64, on other chipsets sometimes there are HW issues because Intel is only faking AMD's 64 bit implementation01:56

escottlupin, having 64bit really isn't about how much ram you have so much as the additional registers and instructions available only in x86-6401:56

onektlooking to set up working bluetooth PAN on 12.04,  so far,  all guides have let to failure.  Any references appreciated.03:38
zombiejimCould anyone please let me know the best way to install Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.0403:38
bazhangzombiejim, what card03:38
dr_williszombiejim:  i just install the nvidia-current package03:38
zombiejimbazhang, I am using the 310m laptop03:38
dr_williszombiejim:  if you have an optimus based system - that adds difficulty03:39
bazhangzombiejim, have you tried nvidia-current package03:39
zombiejimI have yet to try anything as I would like to do it the correct way the first, websites such as softpedia claim i need to add repository's to do that03:39
rubiconjoshzombiejim, if you have an optimus system look at bumblebee03:39
zombiejimrubiconjosh, how do I know if its an optimus system03:39
rubiconjoshzombiejim, is it a laptop that has an nvidia card and onboard graphics?03:40
zombiejimrubiconjosh, yes03:40
sgo11hi, just install ubuntu 12.10 (gnome remix). where is "language support"? I don't find it in system settings. I would like to set "Keyboard Input Method System". where can I set it? thanks.03:40
_helios_[[franco]][[off], Esto no es una red buena para hablar de DDOS o botnet03:40
ClientAlivewhen formatting an ext4 filesystem on a logical valume (lvm2) are there options that would optimize for many small files being stored on it?03:40
bazhang_helios_, stop that NOW03:40
_helios_bazhang, I just told him this is not the place for botnet or ddos sorry03:40
rubiconjoshzombiejim, then it is, search for bumblebee, I have never used it, but someone in here with very limited knowledge was successful using it last night03:41
rubiconjoshzombiejim, http://bumblebee-project.org/03:41
zombiejimrubiconjosh, so it's not recommend to do install nvidia-current that is what the steam website and softpedia say but I have heard of bumblebee as well03:41
rubiconjoshzombiejim, adding the ppa and installing nvidia-current is for 'regular' systems that do not use optimus. Like the desktop I am on, I have integrated graphics, but I have a GTX 670, that is what the nvidia driver is designed for. Some laptops are designed to run some applications with onboard graphics and some with the nvidia card, they do this to save battery. The nvidia drivers for linux AFAIK do not support optimus on03:43
rubiconjoshlinux currently, the bumblebee project is aiming to support it.03:43
zombiejimrubiconjosh, http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/5628303:44
zombiejimrubiconjosh, that is my graphics card03:44
rubiconjoshzombiejim, read the very bottom of that page, it talks about optimus, right above the 'See the README' line03:45
sgo11where can I ask questions related to ubuntu gnome remix? thanks.03:45
rubiconjoshzombiejim, I honestly do not know a lot about optimus, if you are not sure your laptop uses it search for your laptop model number, it should be mentioned in the specifications for that model03:46

sgo11xangua, thanks. I am in that channel now. I just can't find language support from system settings.03:49
zombiejimIs that outdated and I should do the same for 12.04?03:49
_helios_FattyMatty, Ubuntu is far from being Windows considering it's already 100x better than Windows and more powerful.03:49
FattyMatty_helios_, Humm I dont know. I've been using Debi03:50
rubiconjoshzombiejim, I have never installed Bumblebee, I would read the guide on the website i provided and this, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee, also check out #bumblebee03:50

rubiconjoshIs anyone running dual monitors? If so have you had success it making notifications appear on your left monitor?03:53
_helios_I have a good question, why are they going to support 12.04 longer than the new 12.10?03:53
xangua!lts | _helios_03:53
ubottu_helios_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04)03:53
bazhang_helios_, its LTS03:53
zombiejimwell its downloading 400 megs for bumblebee hoping it works, immediately after installing ubuntu it was telling me my video drivers were crashing for hockey03:53
_helios_So should I switch to 12.04 or just keep 12.10? is 12.04 weaker what would I loose if I went to 12.04?03:54
sgo11anyone know why there is no "Language Support" in ubuntu gnome remix 12.10? thanks.03:54
sgo11under system settings.03:54
west333as a for instance  I use  12.04 on all 3 of my boxes , i just pulled unity off and put  LXDE on for my lappies03:54
majnoonwhat is the name of the audio settings app in unity ?03:55
rubiconjosh_helios_, LTS just means it will be updated with security fixes and bugs longer than a non LTS release. You will be fine with either version, most likely if you are a home user you will not keep the same version for 3-5 years anyway03:55

biancahow do i install a .rpm file?03:55
west333pulse audio  is another03:55
ActionParsnipbianca: you can use alien but I recommend you try find a deb03:55
rubiconjosh!rpm | bianca03:55
ubottubianca: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported)03:55
dr_willisbianca:  best is to NOT use rpms on ubuntu03:55
histobianca: Are you sure there isn't a deb availbe for your application?03:55
ActionParsnipbianca: why do you want to use an RPM?03:55
_helios_rubiconjosh, ah ok, I'll keep the 12.10, does anyone know if there is a new version on the way or they just gonna soup up 12.10 make it more stable?03:56

dr_willisbianca:  theres flash installers in the repos03:57
ActionParsnipbianca: flash is in the repos, you don't need an RPM03:57
_helios_cool, I can't wait to try it out03:57
rubiconjosh_helios_, Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months03:57
ActionParsnip_helios_: its pre-release, expect issues. Support is in #ubuntu+103:57
ActionParsnipbianca: even using the tar.gz and putting the file in the browser plugin folder is better03:58
_helios_rubiconjosh, wow that's impressive every six months a new free OS that's impressive.03:58
biancawhat the hell.. it says i already have it but 2 mins ago it said i need to download it03:58
bianca>_> nevermind its working now03:58
ActionParsnipbianca: rpm files are not for ubuntu, and using alien can cause issues03:58
dr_willis_helios_:  its not new.. its updated.. with some changes.03:58
kDM`Hey everyone.  I used to have Ubuntu, but quickly stopped using it because I could not use my DYNEX Wireless Enhanced G USB plugin to retrieve Internet.  It only came with a Windows disc, but I really want to try to use Ubuntu... Is there anyway that I can install everything it needs and be able to use the Internet? Please PM if you may be able to help, rather than chat. :) Thank you in advance.03:58
ActionParsnipkDM`: what wifi chip does it use?03:58
kDM`I'm not sure. :/ How would I check that? :)03:59
RollinV2_helios_, i recommend staying with the most up to date LTS release. you don't have to update every 6months03:59
rubiconjoshkDM`, lsusb03:59
_helios_dr_willis, cool beans, I've been telling everyone at my college to switch to Ubuntu but allot of people are glued to that horrible Microsoft product.03:59
ActionParsnipkDM`: sudo lshw -C network     may show it, or:  lsusb03:59
_helios_RollinV2, I'll prob stay with 12.1064-bit for awhile because it's pretty bugles04:00
ActionParsnipkDM`: how could you stop using Ubuntu due to the wifi adapter, when you don't even know the wifi chip?04:00
west333majnoon:  the audio settings  app that i use is   <pavucontrol>  you can install it  with  sudo apt-get install  pavucontrol04:00
kDM`:/04:00
_helios_I have my laptop with 12.10 64-bit runs like a champ everything is compatible, then I have a desktop running Xubuntu 12.10 64bit04:01
RollinV2_helios_, if you already have 12.10 installed stick with it. easier then backtracking to 12.04.04:01
west333sounds like he hard blocked it  like massey did inadvertantly04:01
ActionParsnipkDM`: if lshw shows the chip, use it to find guides04:02
ActionParsnipkDM`: if not, use the 8 character hex id to find guides04:02
ActionParsnipkDM`: personally. I'd ditch the non-working usb stick and research a little, find one that can be made to work very easily (broadcom for example) or one that works out of the box04:03
ActionParsnipkDM`: usb wifi is stupendously cheap04:03

west333RollinV2:  try LXDE04:07
RollinV2ActionParsnip, ill try that. sorry for the novice question but i get confused what uninstalls what. really want to keep the global menu but nothing else.04:07
RollinV2west333, better than xfce?04:09
west333RollinV2:  LXDE is wayyyyy better04:09
west333 LXDE is like gnome  but with taskbar at bottom . and  kde lite04:09
ActionParsnipRollinV2: you can add a global menu in xfce04:10
west333it uses openbox window manager04:10

ituvoxHello. I am having trouble getting an epson multifunctional scanner to work under ubuntu 12.04, using any utility. The scanner is model Tx133, and I've already tried installing iscan, over and over, which should work for this model. The scanner seems to be detected well, but running iscan or xsane just stalls, and doesn't do anything until I unplug it, when it gives a communication error.04:13
west333so here are the screenshots ,,   lxde.org/image_galleries/screenshots04:14

RollinV2west333, im a command line junkie. you should have told me to wget the images.04:15
ituvoxShould it detect a different one for the scanner and printer though?04:15
west333RollinV2:  ok..04:15
ituvoxOr just one for the whole device is fine?04:15
west333 next time04:15
RollinV2west333, um.. not sure i like default lxde. its way too windows like. and im raging hard on win8 right now.04:16

RollinV2west333, thanks for reminding me to have a fallback in place before removing unity04:17

ubottuantonio_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate04:35

DWSRActionParsnip: I already have FreeNX installed. I'm de-forwarding everything right now. I'll probably also uninstall vino05:56

ActionParsnipmulray: sure, you can use gparted to setup the new partition scheme if you want06:39
NoskcajActionParsnip, how do i make a symlink? would it be easier to mount .cache in RAM?06:39
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: move the folder to where you desire, then link to it06:40
Noskcajok06:40
anonraptrmulray: if what your asking is can you go back to the single partition you originally had and not have to reinstall your OS, im not so sure. you may not like that answer06:40
NoskcajActionParsnip, i still don't really understand06:40
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: you want .cache on another partition06:41
Noskcajon another drive (ssd to HDD)06:41
mulrayanaonraptr - i think gparted might work i'll just reboot to another medium06:41
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: so you copy the folder to the other partition (lets say it's mounted to /media/part1   you will then get the cache folder really at /media/part1/.cache06:41
mulrayonly thing i might have trouble with is grub06:42
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: the physical storage is moot06:42
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: you can then run:  ln -s /media/part1/.cache ~/.cache06:42
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: this will make a link to the moved folder, the OS will see the link as if it was the folder, and nothing has changed06:42
ActionParsnipNoskcaj: yet the actual storage of the cache folder is really on /media/part106:43
anonraptrtil that gparted kicks azz and i formatted and reinstalled os for no good reason last month..  lol06:43

vlacaarunkumar413: you can see that there's two and only one is active - using the snd_intel_hda driver07:45
vlacaarunkumar413: like I said, try disabling from BIOS, it should auto-detect and use the other one07:45
vlacaarunkumar413: if that is not possible try blacklisting the snd_intel_hda driver07:46
west333[x_]:  I would think  that a config file isnt set properly  but I dont use squid .....maybe try   man squid in CLI or maybe a pdf on it from OEM07:46
arunkumar413vlaca: i think in bios there is no option to disable07:46
arunkumar413vlaca: in the two cards listed which one is good07:47
vlacaarunkumar413: since you're saying that the sound is worse than on win, I'm guessing th inactive one07:47
vlacaarunkumar413: anyway, I have no other ideas07:48
arunkumar413vlaca: what should i do if there is no option to disable or enable the audio devices in bios07:48
OnkeltemHi. I'm running 32bit 10.10 and want to upgrade to 64bit 12.04. Following guide on ubuntu.com I have to upgrade to 11.04, then to 11.10 and then to 12.04 finally07:48
OnkeltemIs that corect?07:49
somsipOnkeltem: 32 to 64 is very messy. Best to reinstall07:49
imarkyes just reinstall to 6407:49
arunkumar413vlaca: i think the problem is with the driver, as we are driving them with an intel audio driver07:49
imark3 upgrades would take forever anyway and require about 6gb of downloads or more07:50
Onkeltemsomsip, imark:  I would glad to, but this PC is not mine and I'm afraid to broke something07:50

imarkin all honesty you stand just as much chance messing stuff up with 3 upgrades in a row07:50

Onkeltemimark: yeah, looks evil :)07:51
west333something got messed here07:51
vlacaarunkumar413: no, you're not driving *them* just one of them. the other one is inactive07:51
west333 the mobo . ig nothing in bios  means   the MoBo has jumpers for config on legacy Mobo'd07:52
west333ig=if*07:52
vlacaarunkumar413: that's why I asked whether there's multiple outputs. if there's just one output, the two cards probably cannot work at the same time07:52
arunkumar413vlaca: on the laptop it says dolby advanced audio. what does it mean, is the sound card a dolby or is dolby a driver or a codec or dolby speakers07:52
vlacaarunkumar413: I have no idea what it means07:53
Annette01I just got a alert "system program problem detected" with no information just "report" or "close"07:53
arunkumar413vlaca: now how to enable the other audio device without going to bios07:56
west333the bios should ask ,, use onboard  or pci sound ..... select the one  you want as default , save settings and reboot ,,, should be eazy as pie07:56
west333that will be the one Ubuntu picks up as default07:57
vlacaarunkumar413: I don't know if it's possible07:58

arunkumar413garnet: yes08:11
west333histo  just off the wall as an idea ,, if he sets up *nix on his box with  onboard sound as default  . then later adds card , but card is not seated correctly or some -such to which the added isnt detected08:12

histoarunkumar413: it's a laptop it has fake surround. You need to open alsamixer and check your levels for the surround.08:14
histoarunkumar413: most likely your other "channels" are turned down or muted08:14
arunkumar413histo: then how to enable them08:15
histoarunkumar413: with alsamixer   You can run that in a terminal08:15
arunkumar413histo: which sound is ubuntu using is it oss or alsa08:15
histoarunkumar413: the volume manager may have the ability to add those channels as well.08:15
arunkumar413histo: in the default sound applet it is not showing the other channels08:16
arunkumar413histo: now installing the alsa mixer08:17
histoarunkumar413: there is somewhere to enable the other channels.  Edit preferences or something. I don't use unity so I can't look for you.08:17
histoarunkumar413: or alsamixer will show all of them under the playback menu08:18

histoarunkumar413: press F308:21
histoarunkumar413: or F5 for all08:21
arunkumar413histo: f3 is for brightneess08:21
west333arunkumar413:  I see that you are looking for a decent sound control GUI , try  pavucontrol it works for the alsa system via pulse audio   the instal for that if you like is   sudo apt-get install pavucontrol08:21
histoBen64: arunkumar413 http://imagebin.org/24402408:22
west333it will obviously add on the depends for your spin08:22

west333subcool:  although its read /write  most time any writes to a file wil be logged  and you can track it  so 755 is a std method for new installs for ~/ files>08:45
histowest333: would the issue with -R 755 be that all files would then be +x instead of just rw08:46
subcoolhisto, i saw that on xbmc -08:46
vlacawest333: that's interesting, where are any writes to a file logged exactly?08:46
EskimoBob_afkAny ideas how (from what pkg) can I get libxul-embedding installed?08:46
cjaeI mean it seems if I try to copy over the said folder with multiple small files, not compressed, the transfer speeds seem to struggle at point where the mulitple files are located08:46
subcoolI really just like the ida of having the server running, and being able to add new torrent from my phone.08:47
EskimoBob_afkwho ever has this chmod "problem" use http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/chmodcal.shtml :)08:47
EskimoBob_afkLOL and learn what those numbers mean08:47
cjaepictures whatever, im not trying to get faster, it just "seems" that say one larger file doesnt go 5, 20,15, 2 27,2,13 MB/s08:48

kjelle.o/ Anyone know a good linux daemon to use as LDAP against other linux workstations (e.g. they use likewise to auth to this linux daemon) - but this linux daemon must be a sync (read-only AD) from a windows AD server.08:49

kjelleso Windows AD server -> sync ubuntu server. Linux clients LDAP auth -> ubuntu server. Which software could I use on my ubuntu server?08:49
cjaeit would be nice to see just 20 all the time, so my question is ... is it worth it to bother tarring directories08:49
histosubcool: rtorrent is the way to go. It can monitor a directory for .torrent files and start dl'ng them08:49

histovnc786: becuase you missed some dependancies08:53
cjaehisto: right and my folders already have jpeg and mp3 so it wouldnt squish much anyway08:53
histovnc786: -d doesn't pull all the depends I believe.  Whya re you trying to do this btw?08:53
cjaehisto: so what is the purpose of tar then?08:54
histocjae: Yeah you can get compression on that08:54
histocjae: tar is just a container08:54
cjaehisto: and containers dont transfer smoother ?08:54
EskimoBob_afkcjae: NFS is a joke so what did you expect? faster data transfer than your network can support ? :)08:55
vnc786histo: all dependencies are there in folder08:55
vnc786histo: will be installing on multiple pc so...08:55
histocjae: Yeah I think your thinking about pointless things. You are bottlenecked by your network. Now if you were transferring a bunch of smaller files you may run into some issues.08:55
cjaeEskimoBob_afk: not at all, not sure how many times ive said smoother not faster08:55
histovnc786: use apt-get intall wine   after you pull the depends not dpkg08:56
qualiais WPS not supported by wpa_supplicant ?08:56

histoqualia: I don't believe so.08:57
histocjae: define smoother?08:57
EskimoBob_afkFUUUUUUU that xul thingy and *ubuntu!08:57
histocjae: risk of data corruption?  If that is your concern then you would be using rsync but you refuse for some reason.08:57
histoEskimoBob_afk: what are you trying to install that needs it?  also apt-file may be of some help here.08:58
cjaehisto: rsync is fine just exploring other things, I use it for things I cannot afford to lose08:58
histocjae: again then I don't know what you mean by smooth on a file transfer.08:58
vnc786histo: will do that but want to know if all dependcies are there in so can i tell or give source to dpkg command08:58
nibblercan anyone recommend a nice webgallery that runs fine on ubuntu (server)? i'm overwhelmed by the choices to take: gallery3, coppermine.....08:59
histovnc786: apt-get will start downloadign dependancies if they aren't there.08:59
cjaehisto:  5, 20,15, 2 27,2,13 MB/s  is what I would call rough transfer speeds and smooth would bounce between 20-25 MB/s08:59
histovnc786: if they are in cache it will use that copy08:59
histocjae: so again speed is the issue. When you are transfering smaller files you are going to see a hit like that. If you tar'd you may get more consistent speeds09:00
cjaehisto: ok  thats what I was asking09:00
cjaewell it not to go faster, just stop slowing to point of pausing09:01

ubottuBillyZane: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels09:30
west333 np09:30
apm1saruji, no just reinstall via synaptic09:30
BillyZanei thought xfde was the better one09:30
cjaecriipt: write your password in black permanent marker on something black plastic, eg, back of monitor  hold in light to reveal :p09:30
BillyZanehisto: i'll install xfce also :)09:30
cfhowlettsaruji, I wouldn't.  Just install the DE you want and use that.09:30
MonkeyDustBillyZane  better is a matter of taste09:30
Onkeltemcfhowlett: no, I don't have a dedicated partition for /home09:31
histoBillyZane: there is not xfde package. If you are install xfdesktop4  that is a desktop background and stuff.09:31
sarujicfhowlett, DE? Differential Equa?09:31
MonkeyDustsaruji  desktop environment09:31
sarujiok really confused now09:31
histosaruji: desktop environment09:31
sarujiMonkeyDust, oh09:31
sarujilol09:31
BillyZanehisto: how do i get it then?09:31
sarujithanks all09:31
cfhowlettOnkeltem, then /home will not be preserved and will be overwritten09:32
sarujicfhowlett, i want the default one that comes with ubuntu desktop09:32
apm1saruji, i am not sure it'll work 100%09:32
cfhowlettsaruji, Desktop Environment *unity xfce, etc.09:32
histoBillyZane: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop  For the complete xubuntu experience.  If you want to go minimal you could just sudo apt-get install xfce409:32
sarujiapm1, no problem09:32
BillyZanehisto: when i do sudo apt-cache search xfde , i only see 3 results09:32
apm1its xfce09:32
sarujicfhowlett, ok so sudo apt-get purge unity?09:32
cfhowlettsaruji, default is unity09:32
sarujiand than install09:32
histoBillyZane: Right because its' XFCE<<<< Notice the C not a D.09:32
Onkeltemcfhowlett: heh, even Windows can keep data09:32
apm1search for xfce409:32
sarujifrom command prompt?09:32
cfhowlettsaruji, I'd suggest you do not purge unity.  Just don't use it.09:32
west333MonkeyDust:  exactly  so I want billy to install it  and at login , doo a sesion  lxde ad try it09:32
MonkeyDustsaruji  no need and you'll probably ruin yous rystem09:32
MonkeyDustsystem*09:33
histoBillyZane: you keep typing xfde  for some reason.09:33
sarujiok so how can i reinstall my DE, in order to fix my software center???09:33
west333good thing my typos dont count  for appearances09:33
BillyZaneok, i'll try the other desktop...09:33
cfhowlettOnkeltem, dedicated /home is easy to establish.  set it up, then do your upgrade09:33
BillyZaneso xfce and xfde are all part of xubunutu?09:33
MonkeyDustsaruji  if you don't like unity, install something else, logout, select something else, login09:33
apm1BillyZane, no xubuntu is a remix of ubuntu +xfce09:34
sarujiMonkeyDust, i like unity, just getting an error when starting ubuntu software09:34
saruji...09:34

west333log out ,,,,,, login lxde session09:35
apm1west333, when did i ask that :p09:35
west333 mod as you will09:35
histoBillyZane: lxde is the same way there is lubuntu-desktop  for lxde+ubuntu  Or you can just install these DE's by themselves. The choice is yours.09:35
sarujiMonkeyDust, ok will do09:35
MonkeyDustsaruji  try sudo apt-get install software-center --reinstall09:35
apm1west333, no i am not asking a question ,i know this stuff :p09:35

west333that way you can try all  xfce and  lxde  and gnome09:40
apospersonally i would recommend sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio09:40
jangMonkeyDust: perhaps not; /etc/grub.d/10_linux looks dense but also appears to not haul in any config file, which I find hard to believe09:40
BillyZanewest333: it installs all 3 at once?09:40

penzuris there a way to use xfce as a default desktop env?09:58

ubottulukas123: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!10:20

histolukas123: yeah always use checkinstall when compiling from source. Then you can easily remov ethe compiled deb.10:24
west333lukas123:  you are free to try and do as you wish ,,,, but sourse code is alwlays a  stained golden peak ,,, you do so with no  back up10:25
purplerain!minimal | MoL0ToV10:25
ubottuMoL0ToV: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD10:25
histowest333: that's why you use checkinstall10:25
dagerikI get this error "the boot the disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present". I have tried all suggestions from google results. Help10:26
west333 try it    ./ configure  , make clean , make ,  strip , sudo make install10:26
histo!lubuntu | MoL0ToV10:26
ubottuMoL0ToV: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support.10:26
histodagerik: when do you get there arrer?10:26
histowest333: no ./configure make checkinstall    <---10:27
dagerikhisto: It's right after boot I get this error message.10:27
lukas123west333, That is right. I am just curious what is going to be released in the near future.10:27
histodagerik: do you have /tmp set to mount on a different drive?10:27
dagerikhisto: no, i think it's mapped to ram10:27
histodagerik: why?10:28
histodagerik: please pastebin your /etc/fstab10:28
west333 ya , but strip . cleans out extras after init chech  not debug10:28
west333else  heavy install10:28
dagerikhisto: it's a default ubuntu install, i dont know how it works10:28
histowest333: checkinstall creates a deb that you can easily install and remove.10:28
west333kk10:29
dagerikhisto: im unable to pastebin, but there are no entries for /tmp10:29
histodagerik: hrm.. Well that's an issue what sort of disk do you have?10:29
XtremeWizhisto: I went to "Passwords and Keys" but I couldn't find anything there. I can add a new password keyring. Is that what you meant?10:30
onboradI use ubuntu core install xorg and xterm ,chroot in rootfs ,start xorg by myself  lead display blackscreen , couldn't switch virtual terminal .and no error report  any one ideas?10:30
histoXtremeWiz: Hold on let me take a look...10:30
dagerikhisto: i have a regular magnetic disk10:31
dagerikhisto: this problem 'the disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present' occurred after a large dist-upgrade and reboot10:31

dagerike.g. it takes 10 seconds for the mount command to exit10:41

dagerikBen64: the drive is on /dev/sda at 320 GB. i think it's a regular magnetic disk10:49
zetherooBen64: not this slow ... the same file copying to the same USB stick on the same PC in the same USB port ... but in Windows ... is much faster10:49
zetherooBen64: this file copies in about 8 min in Windows10:50
Ben64zetheroo: is it ntfs?10:50
zetherooBen64: FAT10:50
riplyzetheroo, my ubuntu dtop also takes forever to copy to USB even if it's USB3..10:50
Ben64well then maybe your timing is off10:50
Ben64do a benchmark on both OS's to be sure about speeds10:50
zetherooriply: yes, I have had this issue for a long time now ... but never got around to trying to sort it out10:51
riplyzetheroo, try ext4 if you're only using it in ubuntu of ntfs if winblows too10:51
ikoniayour usb controller may have weaker support in linux than windows10:51
histoBen64: No same issue here with usb but i'm thinking its an issue with fat for some reason. I have yet to test it though with other FS types10:51
Ben64fat32 is just as fast as windows10:51
Onkeltemhisto: hehe, trivial: my mother liked my monitors and asked me to purchase the same for her. I've come to her but forgot to look at my models :)10:51
ikoniariply: it's called "windows" - if you want serious help, treat it respectfully10:51
Ben64ntfs is slow, especially when the partition gets more full10:51
riplyzetheroo, ye, it's annoying. In fact, to further increase the frustration, after it says that it's done - it is in fact not. If I try to safely remove it, it says that it's busy and I have to wait a while longer too.10:51
histoikonia: lol10:51
zetherooikonia: wow really?10:51
riplyikonia, seriously?10:52

Onkeltemhisto: and have only ssh to my superb PC harverster with 3 monitors :)10:52
ikoniaif you can't use the proper names of software/tools - then don't bother discussing it10:52
histoI've experienced the same usb speed issue on multiple machines.10:52
histoThat's why I think its filesystem related or something else going on .10:53
Ben64maybe i'm just lucky then. I get ~40MB/s over usb2.0 to a fat32 partition10:53
ikoniaBen64: I don't think so, I get a similar experience as you10:53
riplyikonia, I don't like Windows. I don't like that they stole the OS. I don't like that they capitalised off of the world. I don't like that they 'innovate' by stealing. I will call the OS WinBLOWS if I like.10:53
histoBen64: Yeah I could never touch that.10:53
Ben64but it's not a flash drive, its a hdd with a usb adapter10:54
ikoniaBen64: similar here, but I do get a reasonable match to windows performance with usb stick's too10:54
histoBen64: riply I experience it alsow with usb enclosure or flash drive.  But like I say it's rare that I use them.10:54
Ben64trying an ntfs partition, speeds drop to ~20MB/s if I have my cpu on "performance"10:54
ikoniaBen64: but the overhead of fuse stick in then too10:54
ikoniaalthough that would be quite a large overhead10:55
histoI could do some testing now. Is there a way to calculate the rate of transfer in cli?10:55
ikonia(%50 drop)10:55

anonymous9999999erupter, udev's not really very hard to figure out...i would recommend it so you can address your devices more conveniently.  it's also helpful in case your devices  change...i.e if your laser becomes /dev/ttyACM1 you can change a line in udev instead of having to rewrite your code....just my .02 from having worked on it before :)13:24
anonymous9999999arunkumar413, run alsamixer from terminal13:24

NoobuntuGuys, I have been using a Ubuntu for a while and have a question that has been bothering me for some time. If you install software in for example 12.10 and that software has a config file in /ETC/APP/APP.CONF. Now when you make some changes in the conf file, what happens if you do a dist upgrade to 13.04? will the conf file be overwritten and your changes lost?13:34
HanmacPatrickDickey & MonkeyDusk & anonymous9999999 : i am building ruby gems as C(++) extension and at some functions i dont know if they work on windows too, that why i want to build some test space, but i dont want to install an Windows VM if possible13:34
arunkumar413anonymous9999999: in windows the sound is crisp, loud and surround sound is there but where as in windows its like normal audio, no surround sound. i have dolby advanced audio on the laptop13:34
CoreyBRHanmac, why?13:34
cfhowlettNoobuntu, assume that a dist upgrade will overwrite previous configs13:34
CoreyBRis it forbidden to speak about things like these here? :s13:35
arunkumar413anonymous9999999: in windows the sound is crisp, loud and surround sound is there but where as in UBUNTU its like normal audio, no surround sound. i have dolby advanced audio on the laptop13:35
CoreyBRif so, i'm sorry lol i didnt know that13:35
cfhowlettCorey, its off topic.  use the offtopic channel for such, please.13:35
anonymous9999999yak_king, i learned on this book: http://www.amazon.com/Microcontroller-Theory-Applications-HC12-S12/dp/0136152058/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1359034519&sr=1-4&keywords=hcs12+microcontroller13:35
CoreyBRoh god, i tough i was on offtopic, sorry.13:35
PatrickDickeyCoreyBR: I think he was being a bit sarcastic, but I could be wrong. And the question does belong in offtopic, unless it has to do with ubuntu.13:35
Noobuntucfhowlett, Thanks! And what if the app used a file that suddenly is no longer needed in the new version? Will they remain as useless files on your OS or will they be removed?13:36
PatrickDickeyLOL been there done that CoreyBR.13:36
Guest93604arunkumar413: did u read that link i sent you?13:36
CoreyBRPatrickDickey, HAHAHA i'm using a new irc client i'm kinda lost yet13:36
cfhowlettNoobuntu, if you format your /filesystem, obviously they'll go away.  If you install without formatting, I'd imagine they'll remain as orphaned files.13:37
PatrickDickeyCoreyBR: which one?13:37
RollinV2Corey, irssi or burst13:37
stroodlepupthe garbled display in flash is annoying13:37
CoreyBRPatrickDickey, now i'm in XCHAT, i was in IRSSI and Finch13:37
CoreyBRboth in terminal13:37
arunkumar413Guest93604: i didn't understand it13:37
Noobuntucfhowlett, Is it bad practice then to do a dist-upgrade? and on a new ubuntu release (Every 6 months) one should always do a clean install?13:37
PatrickDickeycfhowlett: and Noobuntu, if the configs are there, doesn't the upgrade ask you what you want to do with them? I know for samba and a few others, it does.13:37
HanmacNoobuntu: on a normal upgrade it does ask you what version you want (or trys to merge the changes) i dont know if this happends on dist upgrade too13:37
cfhowlettstroodlepup, seems to be a chrome/html5 issue.  bug has been filed.13:38
ThinkT510!dist-upgrade | Noobuntu13:38
ubottuNoobuntu: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.13:38
yak_kingthankyou so much anonymous9999999, checking it out now! my appologies to you and the room to steer you off topic. That'13:38
PiciHanmac, Noobuntu: a dist-upgrade is NOT a release upgrade.13:38
Guest93604arunkumar413: there might be some deep file editing you might have to do in order to get it to work. Or you can just try to install pulseaudio, and it might detect it13:38
NoobuntuOk Everyone, Sorry for the confusion. I did mean an OS upgrade.13:38
=== MartinS is now known as Guest2502
cfhowlettNoobuntu, y u no use LTS?  seriously, unless you NEED the bleeding edge, I'd urge you to consider just riding the LTS version.  Fewer headaches, more stability, longer support ...13:39
HanmacPici i know i mean that apt-get command13:39
Guest93604arunkumar413:  as for an example..i have a set of small usb speakers....alsa didn't detect them automaticly..i had to edit alsa.conf...but pulse audio found em right away13:39
cfhowlettPatrickDickey, honestly I don't recall ever seeing the question, but then I only clean install my dist-upgrades13:39
arunkumar413Guest93604: what is the diff between alsa and pulse13:40
PatrickDickeycfhowlett: I've had it with a few configurations. Typically I just let it overwrite them, and then I fix them if needed. It should give the option of seeing a diff between the versions.13:40
cfhowlettPatrickDickey, in the interest of clarity, I referred to release-upgrades ...13:40
arunkumar413Guest93604: are they drivers13:40
Guest93604arunkumar413: they both do the same thing "bring sound to your speakers" one just has better support13:40
PatrickDickeycfhowlett: I knew what you meant. ;)13:40
stroodlepuphowlett, I'll post a screenshot...13:40
cfhowlettstroodlepup,  see the following   http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/chrome-flickering-videos-on-youtube-4175445575/13:41
Guest93604arunkumar413: as for an example...pulseaudio seems to work better for using bluetooth headphones13:41
arunkumar413Guest93604: then what is dolby and amd IDT13:41
Noobuntucfhowlett, I guess I just have a soft spot for new features :). So if I would always want the latest release,  the cleanest way is to do a clean install every time? As an upgrade would leave orphaned files?13:41
PatrickDickeyarunkumar413: Dolby is a type of noise reduction (and a company) and amd IDT is a brand of High Definition audio cards.13:42
cfhowlettNoobuntu, I'd suggest clean upgrade with formatted /filesystem and, of course, a separate /home so you don't have to start COMPLETELY over each time.13:42
ThinkT510Noobuntu: a clean install is simply less complicated, more can go wrong with an upgrade13:42
=== Guest13871 is now known as Topology
PatrickDickeyarunkumar413: alsamixer and pulseaudio are the ways that your computer allows you to interact with those cards.13:42
=== Topology is now known as Triassic
anonymous9999999Noobuntu, you can still keep whatever apps you care about up to date with a PPA.  I would highly recommend staying on the LTS...the other ones have a strong tendency to be buggy13:43
PatrickDickeyI agree about the clean install vs upgrade. If you're building a new home, why use an old foundation?13:43
arunkumar413PatrickDickey: if that is so, then i think the default card is intel hda, i want to make it amd idt13:43
=== Triassic is now known as triassic
PatrickDickeyarunkumar413: the problem is, your sound settings don't "see" that card. So, either it's a driver issue, or it's something with the sound settings. The suggestion to install pulseaudio is there to help rule out which one it is. And it's the easier of the two options (changing sound systems or finding/installing drivers)13:45
sg20002Hello. Can somebody help me with kernel panic? I get "/sbin/init: Accessing a corrupted shared library" when loading and then krenel panic happens. What's weird - it's not telling me what lib is broken.13:45
NoobuntuHmm, Those are some good points indeed. And what about applications in general. For example a music player, let's say you change a preference. Will most applications store a preference file in your /HOME or will settings be saved in /ETC?13:45
PatrickDickeysg20002: Did you make any changes recently, or has this been happening since you installed?13:45
cfhowlettNoobuntu, user preferences generally go to the user /home13:45
arunkumar413PatrickDickey: installed the pulse audio, but still the sound icon is not there on the panel13:46
anonymous9999999Noobuntu, some will go in /etc but majority will go in /home...I would back up your /etc directory each time you do a reinstall13:47
PatrickDickeyarunkumar413: in your menu, you should have some options for pulse now.13:47
NoobuntuOn an unrelated note: Y WE NO HAVE Sublime 2 IN SOFTWARE CENTER?13:47
sg20002PatrickDickey: That machine worked for ages. There were no changes recently, but apparently it was having some weird problems not so long ago.13:47
zetherooif I go to the System Settings and then to Details > Graphics the Driver is "Unknown" - why is that?13:48
PatrickDickeysg20002: is it always the same message before the panic? Also, what do you see in /var/log/kernel.log around the time of the panic?13:48
PatrickDickeyzetheroo: what kind of video card do you have?13:48

NoobuntuBen64, what do you mean there is a linux client? If you mean using Wine, that's not a real client to me.14:15
Ben64Noobuntu: What I mean is, Blizzard made and has a working Linux native client for World of Warcraft14:15
sgo11cfhowlett, what does enabled backports mean? thanks.14:15
NoobuntuBen64, Hmm Googling on that now. Color me surprised!14:16
cfhowlettsgo11, i'm on 12.04.  if a 12.10 package is enabled for 12.04, I can get it if I have enabled "backports" as in a backwards ported package.14:16
PatrickDickeysgo11: Mine says Version: 3:3.0.2-0ubuntu2 when I do apt-cache show gthumb (on Lubuntu 12.10).14:17
w0rm-_xIn Ubuntu how do I check what programs are running just like in windows task manager?14:17
sgo11cfhowlett, ok. I guess I have backports too. I can see deb http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-backports in sources.list. why ubuntu 12.04 has higher gthumb version than ubuntu 12.10 ? weird.14:17
kostkonw0rm-_x, open your system monitor14:17
PatrickDickeysg20002: I'm not sure how to help you then. The last set of kernel panics that I had was due to bad memory. So, that's an option (running memtest86).14:17
w0rm-_xkostkon, where is that?14:17
sgo11PatrickDickey, yeah, the same version I have.14:17
NoobuntuOne of the big problems with Linux, and this is from other game developers too, is the problem of targeting a specific version of the platform. Since everyone is free to create their own distros, they can become somewhat unstandardized. That makes "targeting linux" difficult.14:18
cfhowlettsgo11, in terminal run apt-cache policy gthumb and see what you get14:18
NoobuntuI Lol'd when I read that.14:18

sgo11it seems gthumb 3.7 has been released.14:19
sg20002PatrickDickey: Thanks anyways. Tried memtest.14:19
NoobuntuPatrickDickey, Indeed! But it does mean that they would have to make a lot of different deb's / rpm's? For the different versions and the 32 BIT / 64 BIT14:19
w0rm-_xkostkon, got it thanks14:19
PatrickDickeysgo11: Do they have a .deb file? Or is it tied into Gnome 3.7?14:19

MonkeyDustsgo11  latest is not always the best choice14:19
cfhowlettsgo11, I'm on ubuntustudio.  xubuntu is the DE ...14:20
PatrickDickeyNoobuntu: I think they'd just have to update the libraries and dependencies if those change. But both Fedora and Ubuntu are on 6 to 12 month release schedules. So it's not like they'd be doing it every day/week.14:20
sgo11I really hate the idea importing photos/pictures before viewing it. shotwell etc... being the default image viewer. sucks. I like viewing images by browsing folders.14:20
NoobuntuAlso, I can imagine game developers want to protect their code. Are you that well protected against reverse engineering in Ubuntu?14:21
PatrickDickeysg20002: Are you running memtest now, or did you already try it? And if you already tried it, did you get any errors?14:21

PrincessLunaDo Multi touch systems like 5 and 10 point work in ubuntu15:24
EdePopedehi all, any chance to find out kernel version of xubuntu 12.10 without booting?15:25
katsumebliskPrincessLuna: Depends on the hardware.15:25
orudiehi. what works better with ubuntu 12.04, virtualbox or vmware workstation ?15:26
jribEdePopede: the default one?  The latest one? Or the one on your current system whose files you have access to at the moment?15:26
PrincessLunakatsumeblisk: Does it work (assuming drivers etc exist)15:26
jhutchinstarunsh: crossover office is the commercial version of wine, able to do more proprietary stuff.15:26

EdePopedejrib: volname says Xubuntu 12.10 amd6415:27
jribEdePopede: ok, but I don't know which question you want the answer too15:27
jhutchinsPrincessLuna: Like katsumeblisk said, it depends on the hardware and whether there is linux support for it from the manufacturer.15:28
EdePopedejrib: like what would uname -r say?15:28
jribEdePopede: you can look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see what the default kernel is.  You could also just list the kernels in /boot and take a guess that it would boot the latest one15:29
PrincessLunajhutchins: Are there any 10 point and 5 point touch devices that work? Do KDE (primarily) or even unity accept multi touch gestures for interfacing?15:30
in^anyone having audio problems in Chrome?15:30
EdePopede.disk/info says: Xubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) ... and grub.cfg has absolutely no numbers15:30
PriceyAre there still compositing issues when your total screen(s) size breaches 2k in either direction?15:31
PriceyIf "maybe", are they only with certain cards... intels...?15:31
jhutchinsPrincessLuna: The only data on hardware compatibility is reports contributed by users, most of whom don't bother to make a report.  You can search for specific hardware and see if anyone has it working, but multipoint interfaces like that are far from common.15:32

njd001so i have a dumb n00b question15:35
njd001i installed java based on some n00b url15:36
auronandace!java | njd00115:36
ubottunjd001: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.15:36
njd001java runs fine in the cli but the browers isnt linked15:36
njd001heyy i just tried that i guess you have to do ! command without text before it?15:36
auronandacenjd001: yes, the !command has to be first15:37
njd001noted.15:38
njd001oh thats right15:38
beauvaisCan anyone recommend a good Ubuntu IRC client?15:38

njd001hmmm so it installed but still seems to be failing15:44
njd001when i go to www.java.com and run the java test it does not detect java. :-/15:45
njd001i also keep getting some web-apps-index error i sent the report (but with 1800 peopl in here im sure its just one of a few)15:46

Diegosnathi guys! Is there any distro optimized to run virtualbox or vmware workstation? I want to have a minimal distro to run virtual machines in, in order to have a multiboot! Any idea?15:52
ikoniaDiegosnat: no, there is no need for "optimization"15:52
njd001im just used to server side i install run the updates and hand it over to my Dev teams not used to a lot of this config to make things work I'll get it eventually.15:53
njd001and i will submit my donation later today :)15:53
Diegosnatikonia, i want one that boot and gives me openbox as prompt15:53
belgianguyHi, I'm trying to use an USB webcam, and am getting the following through hwinfo: http://pastebin.com/0HbRjCqh15:53
ikonianjd001: please stop saying "I'm used to the server side" - when yesterday it was clear you had no idea what you where doing on the command line15:53
ikonianjd001: it's "ok" to be new or inexperienced, so I don't know why you are trying to justify asking basic questions, it's "ok" to ask basic questions15:53
belgianguybut if I try to view it using vlc (reading from /dev/video1) I get a green image15:53
ikoniaDiegosnat: why do you want to boot to an open box prompt15:53
nick_hikonia: the uid is definitely associated with a username, though. ps outputs user ID 117, and `getent passwd 117` outputs "elasticsearch:x:117:127::/var/lib/elasticsearch:/bin/false"15:54
ikoniaDiegosnat: you can't run vm's from there....so what is the point.15:54
DiegosnatI want to create a multiboot computers15:54
Diegosnatcomputer15:54
ikoniaDiegosnat: so ?15:54
ikoniaDiegosnat: that has nothing to do with what you've just said, or asked for15:54
Diegosnatikonia, why not?15:54
philinuxbelgianguy: try it with the app cheese15:54
ikoniaDiegosnat: because it's not, what has openbox got to do with anything you've just said15:54
ikonianick_h: that's very odd15:54
belgianguyphilinux: that defaults to my default Webcam, while I inserted another one through USB15:55
ikonianick_h: if you "su - elasticsearch" and then do "id" does it report back ok ?15:55
Diegosnatikonia, sorry i meant virtualbox15:55
belgianguyphilinux: ah, I can pick sources, in Preferences15:55
belgianguystill green :(15:56
ikoniaDiegosnat: ??? what ? that makes no sense15:56
philinuxbelgianguy: soes it need a driver?15:56
usuarioolaaaaa15:56
Diegosnatikonia, minimal linux + virtualbox = multiboot15:56
usuariok pasa15:56
ikoniaDiegosnat: what are you saying, it makes no sense15:57
jhutchinsDiegosnat: When most people say multiboot they mean that the system can boot into multiple OSs or releases.15:57
ikoniaDiegosnat: that has nothing to do with multiboot15:57
nick_hikonia: the elasticsearch user's shell is /bin/false , so one can't switch to that user15:57
PiciDiegosnat: Are you looking to run virtual machines with graphical interfaces directly on that computer?15:57
ikoniaDiegosnat: 1.) boot linux 2.) start virtual box application 3.) boot any vm's you want15:57
jhutchinsikonia: I think he wants to boot a VM host, then have the option to launch multiple VMs of various systems.  Not the most efficient way to do it, but possible.15:57
ikoniajhutchins: booting any linux distro will give you that15:58
Diegosnatikonia, right15:58
jhutchinsDiegosnat: There is no pre-configured install that's meant to do that, you could just do a minimal install and add what you needed for the VM host.15:58
Diegosnatdont u think that would be cool?15:58
ikoniathe fact that you are asking these questions suggest you should not be using a minimal install15:59
ikoniaDiegosnat: ????? what are you talking about "that would be cool" any linux distro already does this ??15:59
Diegosnatikonia, you dont understand the idea15:59
jhutchinsDiegosnat: Both VMWare and RedHat offer optimized hypervisors.  I believe that the VMWare product is more highly optimized.15:59
Diegosnatjhourani, thank you16:00
Diegosnathowever i want to install that on my laptop16:00
Diegosnati want to boot up the linux distro with vmware or virtualbox in seconds16:00
ikoniaDiegosnat:....I'm pretty sure you want al linux distro, that on boot allows you to start/auto start VM's ?16:00
Diegosnatand after from there decide what I want to boto16:00
Diegosnatboot16:00
ikoniaDiegosnat: errrr the boot time has nothing to do with that16:00
ikoniaDiegosnat: that's disk / ram / cpu limitations16:00
ikoniaDiegosnat: boot any linux distro, set vbox to auto start....problem solved16:00
Diegosnatikonia, thank you, i knew that16:01
DiegosnatI was wondering if there was something ready16:01
ikoniathen why are you saying it ?16:01
ikoniaDiegosnat: there is....any linux distro16:01
ikoniaany linux distro is "ready"16:01
Diegosnat-_-'16:01
belgianguyI tried using it through MPlayer16:01
jhutchinsDiegosnat: I think what ikonia is on about is that you can set up a system that will actually boot to multiple different installed OSs without having to use a VM.  What a VM gives you is the ability to run more than one OS at the same time, within hardware limits.16:01
belgianguybut there I get a slew of errors http://pastebin.com/qJY8Vq8t16:01
Diegosnatikonia, you do not understand16:01
Diegosnati know that16:01
DiegosnatI want one ready16:01
Diegosnatthat boot only vmware16:02
Diegosnatand i can install it and be ready16:02
ikoniaDiegosnat: they are all ready16:02
ikoniaDiegosnat: vmware is a comercial product16:02
ikoniaDiegosnat: the version you want is called "VMWARE ESX Server"16:02
ikoniaDiegosnat: that is exaclty what you've asked for16:02
Diegosnatikonia, avoid to talk to me16:02
Diegosnatyou are stubborn16:03
Diegosnatand you think to be superior16:03
ikoniaDiegosnat: you're just asking for something that already exists16:03
mojtabaHi16:03
Diegosnatwhat you are saying is obvious and everyone knows it.16:03
DiegosnatNO IT DOES NOT16:03
ikoniaDiegosnat: then why are you asking for something16:03
jhutchinsikonia: Your arguing with him isn't helping anybody.16:03
mojtabaDoes anybody know how can I automatically email the external IP address of the server?16:04
ikoniajhutchins: no, it's clearly not, it's a waste of time16:04
jhutchinsbelgianguy: Does it work despite the "errors"?16:04
Diegosnatikonia, if you do not understand because you think to be so cool is pointless16:04
belgianguyjhutchins: no, I get error after error16:04
belgianguyhowever, some frames seem to be parsed correctly, at least it states so at the end16:05
Picimojtaba: Huh? Can you rephrase that or maybe explain what you're trying to acheive?16:05
MonkeyDustmojtaba  i guess the people in #bash can tell you how to write a script to that end16:05
Diegosnatjhutchins, I want to install a minimal distro that boots to virtualbox. Does it exist? I know that I can configure everydistro to do that, but i want a very minimal one that is already configured that when X starts open virtual box16:05
jhutchinsmojtaba: There are are a number of programs like the dyndns client that can automatically update a DNS service, some of those can also work via email.  I wrote my own when I needed one.16:05
ikoniaDiegosnat: that is not an ubuntu question - so please stop asking in this channel16:05
jhutchinsDiegosnat: Not that I know of, you could ask in #vbox.16:05
ikoniaDiegosnat: we support Ubuntu here - only ubuntu16:05

njd001spindles ok what rpm's are they and yes they should be identical disks if possible17:33
disharmoniciceman, unless you tell us the apt-get error noone can answer that17:33
njd001prodnix most raid controllers sync the spindle to prevent from becoming whats known as spindle bound.17:34
prodnixnjd001: 7200RPM, 2 old samsungs and 2 newer WD's i think17:34
njd001oo yeah you dont want to do that17:34
icemanhere is the error again i get near the end of the install again17:34
njd001your RAID 0 on all these drives?17:34

_raventrying to setup a wlan acess point with hostapd and dnsmasq. anything is not right with the bridge between wlan0 and eth0 - need help please17:35
icemanok17:35
njd001so what happens is the raid controller will look at all spindles and if the newer WD's are faster it will try to throttle them (at least a good RAID controller will) to match the lower speed of 7200 rpm17:35
prodnixand they massively vary is performance too, but its all junk data like games and redownloadable crap17:35
njd001yes it will17:35
njd001because your running multiple spindles in different RPMS17:35
njd001your getting whats called spindle bound.17:35
prodnixnjd001: but these SSDs need to be firing on all 12 cylinders for my bcache testing17:36
njd001it means the disks are indepedent but if the buffers on them are different sizes or the spindle spins at a different rate than it won't keep up17:36
icemanhere is error: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/208323717:36
prodnixnjd001: I run multiple windows VMs on my PC and host LANs with my mates and disk is a huge bottleneck17:37

Miebsterwill rm -rf /this/dir/*  follow symlinks in /this/dir/ and delete data that exists outside of /this/dir?17:40

prodnixnjd001: I know this sux but I have plenty of cores to go around so I dont mind the overhead17:42
njd001prodnix let me get back to my spindle question how many disks are in that raid and what raid format is it obviously your doing RAID 0 on the SSD's17:42
teekohwhat can i use as a dynamic proxy forwarder? On one internal computer I want to connect to my internal proxy that looks up a proxy list and forwards my original request to the actual proxy in the list. IDEAS?17:42
njd001so the only way in any given RAID system that SSD works best is once the data is cached there but you still have to overcome the issue of spindles.17:43
prodnixnjd001: they are all in the same array, RAID0 (I know its ballsy). 2 of them are around 30% slower than the other 2. the 2 slower drives also have half the cache.17:43
njd001then what your doing will not work17:44
prodnixnjd001: I am totally up for suggestions too, I have enough space to backup17:44
teekohin a raid, it only works as fast as your slowest piece of hardware17:44
njd001at least not that way17:44
prodnixnjd001: at which level will it not work?17:44
njd001right17:44
disharmoniciceman, i did a quick search and there's no acroread pkg in 12.04 at least. The cmd apt-cache showpkg packagename should tell you more17:45
njd001prodnix heres the design change: you want to take the spidles of the same speed and put them each into its own raid group. rg1 and rg217:45
prodnixteekoh: when I can dd almost 600MB/s I dont care :)17:45

njd001then you create one raid group for the SSD's that are independent from the spindle (they act as a front load cache) to the spindles.17:48
vinylhey guys do any of you guys know were i can find the mouse write file?17:48
ortixall I want to do is run flexget every 30 minutes17:48
njd001normally you would never do this as a software driven raid17:49
njd001you really need a HW Raid controller to do this right.17:49
prodnixok, I suppose with the cache I wont need the spindle bandwidth17:49
prodnixmakes sense17:49
njd001no you dont its slowing you down.... actually its Mocking you and "laughing" in a way17:49
prodnixnjd001: hehe17:49
njd001because the SSD's have to act as the same speed of a 7200 rpm disk.17:50
Padd_hi is there someone here that can help with a question regarding adding a user to sudo ?17:50
prodnixnjd001: well I only got the SSDs today so my huge spindle bandwidth served me well up until now17:50
njd001look at the designs of some of the best storage arrays in the world..EMC, NTAP, storageTEK17:50

root____1I'm installing tftpd on ubuntu 11.04 http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/comment-page-4/#comment-94631 from this page and it's not working...I don't see any ports listening17:51
njd001the logic is that when you use SSD as a flashCACHE when you pull a file in from the spindle it loads to the SSD the metadata gets tagged so that it rarely has to talk to the disk and only provide the delta in data change to write to disk.17:51
prodnixnjd001: hope bcache will fill the gap and not have to spend a fortune17:51
vinylnvm i found it :317:51
njd001the only time it has to reflush the SSD (flashcache) is if you blob big data through it and it flushes your cached data.17:52
prodnixnjd001: Am I heading in the right direction with my hardware?17:52
prodnixnjd001: will it suffice for my project? :)17:53
njd001yes well RAID cards can suck too because they normally come with a tiny spec of memory about 512 MB thats used for metadata tagging for the location of data on a spindle or SSD17:53
njd001yes.17:53

qhartmanI've been having consistent problems with Remmina killing my window manager on 12.0417:54
njd001some of the largest PetaByte Netapp filers use 7200 rpm 1-2-3 TB disks but set 1-2TB PCI 3.0 slotted SSD in front of the spindle.17:54

prodnixnjd001: u mention flashcache17:54
prodnixnjd001: Ive heard a lot of good stuff about bcache17:55
njd001prodnix flashCACHE is just the name netapp gives its 2 TB PCI slotted card that sits in a PCI 3.0 busline (they are about 30,000 dollars on a filer implimentation)17:55

jribroot____1: you just want an ftp server?17:56
prodnixnjd001: ah, the benchmark i read compared against software called flashcache, hence the confusion17:56
njd001bcache is just a software implimentation of Cache I/O that most storage companies use HW to do it it most likely runs a form of bcache thats embedded in the PCI card.17:56

dpurgertdbrom_, tar doens't inherently compress (though, you can zip as an option)...20:03
ultreiaArmoredDragoon; what is recommended as "best" is using a "zpool" with a zconf file to specify the order of the zdisks20:03
ArmoredDragoonultreia: the ZFS page says you should only use /dev/sdX for test builds, but /dev/by-id for a daily driver, only thing is by-id means you have to change it should a disk fail and you need to replace20:03

I tried booting from my USB memory stick (from which I had originally installed 12.04), and it gave "OS not found". I needed some files on the ntfs partition, and after a day or two messing around with it, I just used the windows recovery cd to reinstall windows bootloader. Now that I've some time, I want20:20

jribkkerwin: seems ok.  I don't know if there's a better way (you can check #bash if you want another opinion).  You could omit the initial "^.*" and it would still work though23:02

kkerwinjrib: Ah. Ok.23:04

BillyZane2Hi. My screen resolution is 640x48023:15
BillyZane2i can't get out of this23:15
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2: Are you in System Settings?23:17
BillyZane2sonikkuamerica: yes23:17
SonikkuAmericaGo down to "Displays"23:17
BillyZane2yes, i am there. the max resolution i can select is 640x48023:17
SonikkuAmericaand check the "Resolution" combo box23:17
BillyZane2i do not have this problem in windows23:17
BillyZane2on sec23:18
SonikkuAmericaOK... what's your video card?23:18
BillyZane2GTX66023:18
BillyZane2there is no resolution combo box23:18
BillyZane2let me give some background information23:18
SonikkuAmericaOK23:18
BillyZane2i recently installed ubuntu. I had set it up. I got my resolution to look good. I was running from my PC's DVI out, to a DVI-VGA converter, to a VGA cable, to a VGA port on my monitor23:19
BillyZane2I recently tried switching to All DVI, that's when everything went bad23:19
BillyZane2I recently tested this monitor and the DVI cable on another computer, everything was fine23:20
histoBillyZane2: do YOu have an nvidia card?23:20
BillyZane2when I connected it to this one, i got a blue screen of death on windows23:20
BillyZane2yes23:20
BillyZane2an nvidia GTX66023:20
histoBillyZane2: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current23:20
SonikkuAmericaSo VGA works but not DVI.23:20
histoBillyZane2: unless you've already installed nvidia drivers23:20
histoBillyZane2: holdup I thought the issue was resolution right?23:21
BillyZane2when I use DVI on windows, i can only get 1024x768 resolution, when I use VGA on windows, i can get full resolution. here's the weird thing, I can't get full resolution on ubuntu regardless of VGA or DVI23:21
BillyZane2histo: the nvidia drivers are installed23:21
BillyZane2and it all started because i decided to switch from VGA to DVI, a seemingly innocent thing23:22
BillyZane2but now, nothing works right23:22
BillyZane2xfce is starting to act funny too for some odd reason. I just installed it last night. Now, the terminal emulator doesn't work. thank god i decided to install xterm inc ase any problems happen with terminal23:22
SonikkuAmericaSo this is Xubuntu?23:23
BillyZane2the process of installing my video card drivers was not as simple as simply doing install nvidia-current, that caused major problems. I had to use a very detailed install that I was guided through in this channel that got it to work, and i don't think it's worth messing with23:24
BillyZane2no, it's XFCE423:24
FoxhoundzUbuntu doesn't save backlight brightness settings.23:24
Foxhoundzwhat gives?23:24
BillyZane2I can do a couple of commands so who up some information for you guys23:25
FoxhoundzAdjusting the backlight using the OEM keys is abrupt instead of a smooth transition I've gotten used to on Windows.23:25
FoxhoundzIs there a fix for this?23:25
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2, is your card an NVIDIA card.23:25
Foxhoundzor do I have to use an shell script to progrmatically set the backlight at logon23:25
SonikkuAmerica?23:25
Foxhoundzit's becoming a pain.23:25
SonikkuAmericaFoxhoundz: Not that I know of.23:26
SonikkuAmericaSorry.23:26
Foxhoundzsigh23:26
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica, : YES, lol. it's an nVIdia GTX 66023:26
SonikkuAmericaDo you have NVIDIA X Server Settings installed?23:27
BillyZane2I recently got my video card fully installed with proper drivers on ubuntu23:27
BillyZane2yes i do23:27
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica, : yes23:27
BillyZane2i tried using that as well23:27
SonikkuAmericaDid you run [ sudo nvidia-xconfig ] in a terminal after you connected using all DVI?23:27
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica, : no i did not, i only did it when i had VGA23:28
BillyZane2i'll try it now23:28
test12378Ok i am back from class. I wish to continue troubleshooting this problem. The problem is that text appears very weird as seen at http://imagebin.org/24408223:28
test12378can anyone help me fix this please?23:28
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica: i just typed in that command again23:29
SonikkuAmericaNow try rebooting and see what happens.23:29
BillyZane2ok23:29
SonikkuAmericatest12378: Weird.23:29
SonikkuAmericatest12378: Does this happen every time you reboot?23:30
cambrianExplosiohey, im having real trouble with ubuntu on a macbook, could anyone help me out?23:30
test12378it does not happen at startup, usually sometime after, though i have not been able to pinpoint exactly what causes it23:30
test12378usually a ctrl+alt+ backspace fixes it, but that loses everything so its annoying23:30
PatrickCok, i am new to ubuntu server23:30
PatrickCi created a new user, but when i su username i only drop to $23:31
PatrickCi still have full terminal access, but its really odly set up23:31
PatrickCnever seen it like this23:31
test12378i would say it happens from 15 minutes to an hour after startup23:31
SonikkuAmericatest12378, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't do squat. Did you mean Ctrl+Alt+Delete?23:32
test12378patrickC, ubuntu server has no gui, if that is what you are asking23:32
test12378if you enable the shortcut in system settings, ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X23:32
schultzahow do i enable kernel switch permanetly when ubuntu updates kernels, it undos my changes?23:32
SonikkuAmericatest12378: Oh, right23:32
SonikkuAmericaPatrickC, you can install a GUI23:32
PatrickCSonikkuAmerica: this is a VPS23:33
SonikkuAmericaPatrickC, Ubuntu Server doesn't come with a GUI but you can install one23:33
PatrickCneed to create a new user for setting up an IRC serve23:33
PatrickCi only have 10gb of space, so trying to keep things to a minimum23:34
robehickmanI've lost my password for the ubuntu forum - username 'hessiess' and I don't know what email I used for the account. Funny the 'contact admin' link does not help as it just askes you to log in...23:34

SonikkuAmericaschultza: What's that?23:34
PatrickCjust this user setup is going odd23:34
test12378oh23:34
cambrianExplosioOk, so my touchpad in OSX allows me to have 2 fingers on the touchpad , and still move the cursor (note not 2 finger scrolling), but ubuntu does not. :( any ideas?23:34
test12378i misunderstood you23:34
histoschultza: what do you mean kernel switch?23:35
SonikkuAmericaPatrickC, I see.23:35
histoschultza: edit the /etc/default/grub  file to add default cmdline options23:35
PatrickCi just need to get it so i can ust the user like a normal user23:35
PatrickCand not be dropped to a $ terminal23:35
BillyZane2I'm still at the same resolution23:37
=== cnelihoda is now known as enchilado
test12378ok i am still not understanding you fully, i am not that advances in ubuntu myself, but i have set up a server before. what do you mean by "dropped to a $ terminal", what is the alternative you are looking for?23:37
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2, Can you find nvidia-settings?23:37
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica: let me check23:37
BillyZane2yes i can23:37
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2, (run [ sudo nvidia-settings ] in a terminal if you can't find it in the menus)23:37
BillyZane2i did23:38
SonikkuAmericaOpen it up23:38
BillyZane2it's up23:38
BillyZane2ok23:38
SonikkuAmericaYou should be able to set the res from there.23:38
BillyZane2only gives me 640x480 as the max resolution23:38
schultzahisto: i mean kernel switch kernel level cmdline switches for boot up options.. i set those in said file and when ubuntu installes a new kernel, my option is removed23:39
BillyZane2to clarify, these drivers and everything else worked perfectly fine just a few days ago. it was when i switched to a DVI cable that this happened23:39
schultzahisto: and that's were i previously had it.. . but ubuntu removed that on me23:40
test12378so anyone have any ideas about that glitchy text?23:41
SonikkuAmericaBilly23:41
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2, I'm not too sure about what we can do. I tried forever to get an HDMI cable to work with my friend's M11x running 12.0423:42
BillyZane2sup23:42
BillyZane2let me pastebin something23:42
SonikkuAmerica(That was me epic-failing trying to TAB-complete your nick)23:42

histoSonikkuAmerica: I'm guessing he's no longer using the nvidia drivers23:44
SonikkuAmericahisto: Does Nouveau have glitchy text issues?23:44
histoSonikkuAmerica: not him BillyZane223:45
SonikkuAmericaOh.23:45
BillyZane2things are running unusually slow as well23:45
histoSonikkuAmerica: the font issue I haven't the slightest almost like memory corruption23:45
