nynexHello I need a little help with flash. I broke something...00:00
BillyZane2where is ~00:00
histoBillyZane2: unity has a screenshot app that comes withit but I can't remember the name of it00:00
SonikkuAmericanynex: We don't support Flash here.00:01
histoBillyZane2: /home/billyzane2   if that's your ussername00:01
BillyZane2i typed in scrot and nothing happened00:01
histoBillyZane2: it took a .png and put it in your /home/username  folder00:01
BillyZane2ok i found it00:01
histoBillyZane2: or you can use gnome-screenshot   that's aparently the one that comes with ubuntu00:01
nynexSonikkuAmerica, Okay, what do you recommend I do? if i show you a pic of the problem can you suggest what to google?00:02
SonikkuAmericaMaybe00:02

BillyZane2sorry, 640 res is really bad for productivity00:03
benlangfeldHello gents. I'm having a hard time finding out about upstart and restarting services as a user other than root. Obviously if that user can sudo, all is good, but if they can't, is there a way to allow them to restart a specific service?00:04
histoBillyZane2: yeah you are using the nouveau driver that's why your resolution is messed up00:04
BillyZane2histo: i love you00:04
BillyZane2histo: how do i fix it?00:04
histoBillyZane2: click on the one below that and click enable it00:04
BillyZane2changes are being applied00:05
histoBillyZane2: enable button is in the bottom right you'd have to move the window up some more to see it.00:05
BillyZane2i'm going to microwave some food real fast, brb00:05
BillyZane2histo, i'm hungry, i got school in a few minutes.. like.. ahh.. 40 minutes.. i better get cracking, then i'll get all this done and be on time00:05
SonikkuAmericaDoes anyone know which version of Ubuntu that is that BillyZane2 is using?00:06
BillyZane2histo, it's going to take a few minutes to apply, i'm using 12.1000:06
nynexubottu, Sure. im running 12.04 it was all working fine, but slow on a dell 1520 inspiron so i thought i would install a ligher window environment and put in sudo apt-get install lubuntu as the canonical website suggested.00:06
ubottunynex: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)00:06
BillyZane2SonikkuAmerica, : 12.10 sir00:06
SonikkuAmericanynex: You mean lubuntu-desktop00:06
nynexSonikkuAmerica, Yeah it looks like confetti00:06
BillyZane2histo: i will be right back00:06
nynexSonikkuAmerica, Yeah thats it00:07
SonikkuAmericaBillyZane2: That's right, you said Xubuntu 12.10.00:07
histobenlangfeld: you need to edit the sudoers file00:07
SonikkuAmericanynex: Sadly, AFAIK there is no fix to that00:07
histo!sudo | benlangfeld00:07
ubottubenlangfeld: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo00:07
SonikkuAmericanynex: I would suggest using Opera to view YouTube videos for the time being, until the next Pepper Flash comes arounds.00:08
SonikkuAmerica*around00:08
histoSonikkuAmerica: what is this confetti bug you speak of?00:08
nynexSonikkuAmerica, jsut so we are talking about the same thing, is this it? [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2u63db9.jpg[/IMG]00:08
histoSonikkuAmerica: flash for linux is done I believe00:08
benlangfeldhisto: I know I can edit sudoers, but is there not a way to do it without giving the user sudo?00:08
histobenlangfeld: yes you can give them permission to a single command etc...00:08
histobenlangfeld: if you look at that documentation00:09
nynexhisto, by done you mean finished as in its killled or done as in its ready?00:09
jerradhey00:09
jerradcan you guys think of a reason why a file system would suddenly change to read-only?00:09
histobenlangfeld: ewww they don't ahve it on thos epages let me look for better docs00:09
SonikkuAmericahisto: In Chrome for Linux, when you try to play a YouTube video using the latest Flash Player, "confetti" (really random single-color dots) appear in the player window. In the HTML 5 demo, they turn red.00:09
nynexjerr00:09
histoSonikkuAmerica: not for me... I thinkk it's only with nvidia cards00:10
nynexjerrad, i had that when my external hdd died00:10
histoSonikkuAmerica: can't they use gnash instead of flash and fix the issue00:10
BillyZane2histo, the driver got updated, should i reboot?00:10
SonikkuAmericahisto: I'm using Ubuntu under a Mobile Intel GMA965. And Gnash doesn't work.00:10
SonikkuAmericajerrad: Another one: You might've dropped sudo by accident00:11
benlangfeldhisto: That's still sodoers. That's not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway00:11

jribbenlangfeld: what service is this?  You could let the user use upstart to have his own jobs (this isn't enabled by default in ubuntu)00:11
jerradno, thats from /proc/mounts00:11

benlangfeldhisto: I'm telling you I would prefer not to use sudo. I know I can do it that way, I know sudo inside out. But thank you for trying to help anyway.00:12
roastedQuestion - when I execute my custom find command which deletes all files and directories older than 3 days, I get a message for each directory indicating "No such file or directory." While on one hand it may not matter, I'm exceptionally curious as to why I'm even getting this message during the execution of the find command???00:12
benlangfeldjrib: Do you have a doc reference for that? Or a good search term?00:13
jribbenlangfeld: upstart cookbook00:13
jerradSonikkuAmerica: i had a FSCK error pop up on startup, fixed it. I think this might be normal operation as per the 'errors=remount-ro,' in /proc/mounts (which i didn't set, so must be default behavior)00:13
SonikkuAmericaroasted: Are you cd'd to the directory your script is in?00:13
benlangfeldjrib: This? http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#user-job00:13
roastedSonikkuAmerica: there is no script, I'm just running the command freely in terminal.00:14
jribbenlangfeld: yes00:14
benlangfeldjrib: Awesome, thanks, will dig into that.00:14
roastedSonikkuAmerica: I am CD'd into the parent dir though, hang on let me try again.00:14
roastedSonikkuAmerica: my command is find /home/jason/Desktop/test/* -mmin +1 -exec rm -r {} \;00:15
jribbenlangfeld: it's not clear what you are doing.  histo's suggestion is what you would want if you just want to let a user manager some service on the system.  But if you want a user to have his own jobs then use user jobs00:15
SonikkuAmericajerrad: What is /dev/disk/by-uuid/89617218-d503-4f18-ab7b-0098bfe1dbdf / ext4 ro,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 listed as in Nautilus or your FM?00:15
roastedSonikkuAmerica: I was CD'd into /home/jason/Desktop/test at the time00:15
histobenlangfeld: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/allow-a-normal-user-to-run-commands-as-root.html  This will give you an idea.  Then you can remove the passwd prompt etc...00:15
roastedSonikkuAmerica: still gives me that message even if I'm just CD'd into Desktop00:15
benlangfeldjrib: I want a user to be able to manage his own jobs.00:15

jribroasted: have it echo what it is deleting.  You're probably deleting things recursively from the top and that's messing with find00:29
BillyZane2histo: it won't work. i tried the one you told me to use, i tried the other drivers. i even did sudo nvidia-xconfig before each reboot00:30
roastedjrib: I'm drawing a blank as to how I'd incorporate echo in that...00:31

roastedjrib: ah, thank you - yes there is. I'll dig it up and give that a shot.00:34

historoasted: and test1 exists right?00:35
roastedhisto: oh yes00:35
jribhisto: I don't think so; I believe it's because test1 gets deleted (because he used rm -rf on something above it) and find still goes to look for it00:35
roastedhisto: test1, test2, and four "Untitled Folders" - all 6 got the same error.00:35
historoasted: what's your latest paste?00:36
jribroasted: -delete might be a better idea too (it includes -depth automatically as a bonus)00:36
BillyZane2OMG i have sound on ubuntu, but no video. how ironic00:36

Mkopwell, after struggling to install hebrew in lubuntu, I rebooted, and now everything is right to left00:38

johnjacobjingerBillyZane2 what do u mean u dont have video?00:38
VivekanandaHello everyone. I am thinking of upgrading from lucid to 12.04 now but I have just a few questions00:38
BillyZane2histo: here's the thing, VGA works fine in windows. it detects the high res, but ever since i tried switching to DVI, nothing works in ubuntu, not DVI or VGA00:38
histoBillyZane2: that's bizare I'd assume it's more related to driver but it could be somehting goofy with the card or the monitors EDID data.00:38
BillyZane2i mean my screen resolution is stuck at 640x480, i'm back in the stone ages00:38
jribroasted: -delete is probably safer too since it won't wipe out directories that are not empty00:39
BillyZane2hmm.. how do i check EDID data?00:39
histoBillyZane2: So you activated the nvidia driver rigth?00:39
ImmatixDoes anyone know if Precise is ever going to receive dnsmasq 2.6+ ?00:39
Vivekananda1. my laptop is old and I heard that 12 needs a little more powerful processor ( celeron is mine ) so should I upgrade. If I do how do I choose to keep it light ? Is gnome still as light?00:39

roastedjrib: winner!00:50
roastedjrib: I assume that command doesn't work recursively at all? Does it simply look at the dirs within test and that's it?00:50
jribroasted: find is recursive the -delete isn't00:50
ajacomHi guys ... I installed Samba to attempt to access a Win8 PC. Upon trying to access it, I apparently mistyped the login name (or the domain ... got a little confused there). And now just double-clicking on the remote PC icon (in Browse Network), brings up an error inmediately... Thus Samba remembered my choice. How can I reset that and make Samba forget the pwd I entered? Thanks ...00:50
jribroasted: just put a -print before -delete if you are unsure of the behavior00:51
histoBillyZane2: can you sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup   and try to restart.  If X breaks just sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf00:51
roastedjrib: if find is recursive... but delete isn't... would find "win" since it's capable of more?00:51
BillyZane2sure00:51
jribroasted: I guess that's one way of looking at it00:51
roastedajacom: I think that would actually be handled on the Windows side. I remember in XP there was a way somewhere deep in control panel to remove saved info.00:52
ajacomWow really ?00:52
roastedajacom: yeah.00:52
ajacomHmm ok ..00:52
roastedajacom: I don't think the server plays a role here at all. I'd bet my car if you used a Windows server instead of Samba you'd have the same issue.00:52
BillyZane2mv: missing destination file operand after `/etc/x11/xorg.conf'00:52
roastedpending you don't have a domain and identical credentials on the windows server, because then it would auto authenticate etc.00:53
BillyZane2hmm... one sec, lowercase x00:53
histoajacom: edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf00:53
roastedjrib: if find is recursive, why would it not cause -delete to function outside of the test/* ??00:53
BillyZane2histo: mv: missing destination file operand after `/etc/X11/xorg.conf'00:53
ajacomroasted: just for the record... when your windows8 username is xxxx@live.cl ... you shouldn't put "xxxx" in username, and "live.cl" in domain, right? (that's what i did)00:53
jribroasted: what do you mean by "outside"?  you mean above it?00:53
histoBillyZane2: okay does cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf   display any output?00:54
roastedajacom: I'm not entirely certain, but my educated *guess* would say that doesn't sound wrong... so sure?00:54
roastedjrib: yes00:54
roastedunless find is only recursive one way00:54
jribroasted: yes, only one way00:54
BillyZane2histo: cat: /etx/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory00:54
roastedjrib: so it hits test and stops since that's the parent dir that was targeted in the command. Eh? That train of thought right?00:55
BillyZane2histo, i gotta leave for class in about 5 minutes00:55
ajacomhisto: smb.conf seems to be holding the samba server configuration actually... nothing on the "Browse Network" part.... (Is that even controlled by Samba ? Or did it came with Ubuntu?)00:55
jribroasted: just run "find" by itself and you will see every file it considers00:55
histoBillyZane2: I have no idea what is causing your issue. If you are running the nvidia driver IDK why you can't set a higher resolution.

Guest13197Alright folks! I've got an incredibly frustrating issue that I'm hoping someone can see through and give me a chance at running Ubuntu on my computer finally. :( I've got a Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard and no matter how I install my Windows 7 Pro x64 copy I can't get Ubuntu to recognize that it exists. I've tried using "EFI ROM" and "Legacy ROM" BIOS settings and installing both by using the "UEFI" and the "SATA" options for the drive01:24
aeon-ltddougl: those were straight answers01:24
OerHeksdougl sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade is the usual routine to update01:24

dr_willisi cant even read the 'commands' they are showong on that site.. the color scheme is so bad...02:33
dr_willismechlior:  wubi has lots of issues.. but the drivers and networking shoul dbe the same as a normal install02:33
mechliorIm sorry, i installed ubuntu 12.10 via wubi and the network connections find my ethetnet port and show a mac address, but keeps sayin that my wired connection is disconnected.  I reboot back into windows and the internet is running fine.02:33
dr_williswhat kind of wired network card do you have? theres some bugs with some drivers for some of them..02:34
seekwillmechlior: In Linux, does it show you have an IP address? Or just mac? In Windows, are you using DHCP?02:34
mechliorIm using an onboard ethernet controller from gigabyte model 900fxa-ud7 and doesnt show an ip anywhere.  The dchp is built into my router, but i cant even get to that in ubuntu02:37
mechliorExcuse me its 990fxa-ud702:37
dr_willismechlior:  you may want to pastebin the output of ifconfig and lspci02:37
mechliorIm still kinda new to linux, so do i just type those into the terminal?02:38
=== Guest62995 is now known as nihgt___________
dr_willisyou  have no networking at all on that machine right now?02:38
mechliorNo, i have it plugged in, but i cant reach my router settings via browser02:39
viddstupid question here im sure ... what happened to the "ALT" cd?02:40
dr_willismechlior:  start with simple command  line tests...     can you  ping your router?    in terminal... ping  ###.###.##.###    Where the ## is the ip of your router02:40
dr_willisvidd with 12.10 - its gone02:40
dr_willismechlior:  second command line test   the output of th e'ifconfig' comand - does it show a eth0 or eth1 device? does it show an ip# for that device.02:41
vidddr_willis: will the live cd give the ltsp install option?02:41
dr_willisvidd no idea. never used lstp.02:41
dr_willis!lstp02:41
mechliorUmm, im connected here on my tablet, so is there someting i should look for in ifconfig?02:42
dr_willisnot evcen sure what  lstp is. ;)02:42
mechliorIt shows eth002:42
dr_willisthe first few lines should mention a eth#   device. then below it.. some numbers.. like an ip#02:42

BIGBOOMBAI'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a Dell Inspiron 13z that came with Windows 8 pre-installed. I have created a partition for it and used the Universal USB Installer to put the iso onto an 8 gb sd card (that i inserted into the laptop using an adapter). This laptop uses UEFI instead of a BIOS, and the windows bootloader has a .efi extension, so I have to install ubuntu in EFI mode. The problem is that I'm fairly sure that UUI for02:45
BIGBOOMBAnot a GPT.02:46

Donnie_Darko21hello folks i have some problems with my google chrome, i have 12.04 lts the problem is video on youtube its like something like smal points small parts are flying on the video02:46
mechliorShould i try manually adding a ipv4 address?02:46
dr_willismechlior:  at least it is showing a eth0   thats a good sign.02:47
dr_willisyou could try the command 'sudo dhclient eth0'   that might  kick it into gettting an ip from your dhcp server02:47
BIGBOOMBAAs it stands, the only way to get the UEFI to try booting from the SD card is to switch it to Legacy Boot mode, and when I start the laptop in that mode with or without the SD card inserted I simply get a black screen and the message, "Operation System not found."02:47
beein Fedora I use yum command but in Ubuntu apt is used (if i am correct) so a little confusion02:47

BIGBOOMBAI turned Secure Boot off, but I think I need to set the SD card up to have the image and a GPT, not a MBR. The UUI tool doesn't have an option for this.02:49
dr_willismechlior:  i cant understand why there would be ipv6 shown.. but no ipv4.. that just seems weird. My Unplugged  eth0 shows neither.02:49

Donnie_Darko21what is wrong with google chrome ,i usually use firefox more often but in some way now i have problem with youtube video on chrome02:50
RollinV2tomsloan, you might have a swap file of 2gigs02:50
=== boze is now known as boze_tacoBell
mechliorHmm should i get my ip settings from windows and manually set it up?02:50
BIGBOOMBAIt can't be a hardware issue, because the Dell Inspiron 13Z is certified as compatible with Ubuntu. So it's gotta be something with the damn UEFI (which seems to have been invented to make it harder to install linux on PCs that come with windows pre-installed).02:51
tomsloanRollinV2 is right, more or less. An installation how-to told me to use a Linux swap inbetween my OS X partition (I'm on a MacBook) and my Linux partition of about 1 GB. What now?02:52
dr_willismechlior: are yu using dhcp in windows? if not then you will want the same settings02:52

Donnie_Darko21its really weird why firefox video works fine and chrome youtube video have problem , java is update ,flash update but on chrome YOU USE NOW THE GREAT VERSION OF CHROME  i have problem now02:53
RollinV2tomsloan, if its less than 4gb id highly recommend keeping the swap file in place02:53
beethanks "<ubottu>"  it means that there is no need to learn Debian first to switch into Ubuntu server side ?02:53
fishcookeris there any option for package opensync02:53
RollinV2tomsloan, for systems with 4+ gb its safe to not use the swap. but everyones opinion will differ.02:54
dr_willisbee: they will be 90% the same02:54
dr_willisbee: learn what you plan on using.02:55

ryan_so i was in gnome for the first time today, and i came across an app called "software" and clicked on (highlighted) the stock gnome browser as i wanted to uninstall it. i clicked in the bottom left where it said "delete". as i lifted my finger off the trackpad, i realized that EVERY APP ON MY MACHINE WAS SELECTED by a blue check box. i panicked and immidiatly held down the power button on my laptop turning it off, hoping to kill it03:06
ryan_ before everything was gone. when i booted back up and logged into gnome and everything was gone. not one single app would show. nothing. so on a whim i logged out and logged into unity and the same thing happened. Whats queer is that when in unity, any app i have docked to the launcher still works without a hitch, making me think everything is still there. if i go to "file system -> usr -> lib" there is still a bunch of stuff in t03:06

dr_willismoo!04:01
BillyZane2dr_willis: how is it going?04:01
BillyZane2i have a problem. lol04:01
BillyZane2well... i got sound to work by using my on board sound04:01
BillyZane2but i have a new problem regarding my video card04:01
BillyZane2something no one can fathom or fix04:01
BillyZane2not even MSI tech support04:02
BillyZane2are you up for it dr_willis  ?04:02
dr_williscant say ive ever called tech support in my entire life. ;)04:02
BillyZane2haha04:02
BillyZane2ok.. here goes...04:03
dr_willisi doubt if i can be of any help. I always use older nvidia cards that work fine.04:03
BillyZane2when we got my video card to work a few days back, i had my video card going from my monitor's VGA port, to a vga cable, to a VGA to DVI converter to my video card's DVI port04:03
BillyZane2I had this setup because I thought my DVI connector wasn't working a long time ago. I decided though to test it out again to see if it would work04:04
BillyZane2I took my monitor to a shop where the dude hooked up my monitor to a computer with a DVI cable. everything was good. my screen resolution was as it should be04:04
BillyZane2I am happy at this point. So i bring back my monitor to my house where I think it's just a simple matter of swapping the VGA cable for a DVI04:04
BillyZane2this is where the problem begins. When I use DVI in windows, I can only do 1024x768 max resolution04:05
BillyZane2this problem is also felt in the bios, in the boot up, and in Ubunutu04:05
BillyZane2I try and try to fix it, nothing works. So now i've switched back to VGA. In windows, my resolution has restored04:05
BillyZane2however, in Ubuntu, I can't get my resolution past 640x48004:06
BillyZane2i've tried switching drivers, i've tried nvidia-xconfig04:06
BillyZane2a helpful hint that might solve the problem is this...04:06
BillyZane2http://pastebin.com/LsmYUmJv04:06
dr_willisif dvi in windows is not even giving the proper res. that sounds like the monitor is not reporting the proper res to the system04:07
dr_willisid test this with a differnt monitor or tv04:07
BillyZane2dr_willis: That sounds like it's the issue, but this monitor along with this DVI cable was able to work flawlessly on another computer04:07
hektacwhat kind of card is it04:07
BillyZane2hmm... actually.. i might be wrong on that04:07
BillyZane2it's an nvidia GTX 66004:07
dr_willisother computer/card/ may have done some assumptions..04:08
hektacwhat driver are you using?04:08
BillyZane2i'm using the 310 drivers i believe.. let me check04:08
dr_willisid test with a difffernt monitor and see if it does in fact work.. that would  narrow it down to a monitor isssue or not.04:08
hektac^04:08
BillyZane2i'm using nvidia binary xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library from nvidia-current-updates(proprietary)04:09
tech936anyone know the output of this ??  date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?04:10
BillyZane2i've tried installing alternative driers, 2 others in particular, and i did nvidia-xconfig on both occasions, i rebooted my computer. no result. NOTHING seems to work04:10
BillyZane2my resolution and video card was working perfectly fine, then suddently when I hot swapped the VGA for true DVI, everything went to garbage04:10
BillyZane2and nothing works even if i go back to VGA, which is what i'm using now04:10
dr_willisyou can custom make a xorg.conf and try to force various resolutions, or use xrandr. but ive not needed to do that in years04:10
hektacthat really sounds like a monitor issue then04:11
hektacor the port on your card perhaps04:11
tech936anyone atall know the output of this??? My ubuntu just flew this on the screen and said whats the output04:11
BillyZane2i think i ran xrandr earlier, what does that do again?04:11
dr_willisive  seen hot swapomg video cables cause shorts/issues.. and if its an old card. that may have finally been the  little kick it needed04:11
BillyZane2hektac: it does. but this monitor on this setting works fine on windows04:11

BillyZane2it04:12
dr_willisa new card witha  vga port and not a hdmi? that is odd.04:12
BillyZane2let me run xrandr real fast04:12
BillyZane2dr_willis, : i'm using a VGA to DVI converter04:12
dr_willisxrandr has all sorts of cli options to force specific res;s04:12
BillyZane2it's going through DVI, but it's connected to a VGA cable04:12
dr_willisvga to dvi converter can cause issues also04:12
cubis there a way to easily show the desktop on ubuntu 12.04?04:13
hektacdo you have the option of using HDMI?04:13
cublike minimize all windows?04:13
BillyZane2hektac: i do not04:13
hektacbilly- I had a similar issue with my 570, I had to set grub to load ubuntu with "nomodeset" and I had to instsall the nvidia drivers manually (downloaded from their site), since then no issues and I run off HDMI and dvi04:14
BillyZane2i don't mind trying that04:14
dr_williscub when i alt-tab theres a desktop item there for me.04:14
BillyZane2dr_willis: should i try xrandr and force the resolution higher?04:15
BillyZane2i was told it was an EDID issue by someone04:16
BillyZane2http://pastebin.com/LsmYUmJv04:16
BillyZane2from that log, it looks like the monitor's EDID information is not being detected, thus the screen resolution04:16
dr_willisBillyZane2:  no reason to not try.... or go buy a new monitor....04:17
dr_willisvga-dvi converters can mess with edid info04:17
BillyZane2i've been using this vga-dvi converter this whole time04:17
BillyZane2i got my computer to work with a good resolution, using VGA-DVI converter. the way i have it setup now is how it always was. Now suddenly there's no resolution...04:18
BillyZane2Dr_willis i think i figured it out04:18
BillyZane2there's a subtle detail04:18
BillyZane2that i left out04:18
BillyZane2Before, I was using a 5 foot VGA cable04:18
BillyZane2it allowed my computer to detect my screen resolution, which is 2048x1152 without any issues04:18
BillyZane2right now, although I have a high screen resolution in windows, I'm only using 1080p, and when I manually set it to 2024x1152, the quality is severely degraded. this means that the longer VGA cable is interfering with the EDID information04:19
BillyZane2is this hypothesis plausable?04:20
dr_williscant say ive ever seen  a vga monuitor that could do 2048x1152  that seems an odd red.04:20
dr_willisres.04:20
BillyZane2could i still manually increase the screen res in xrandr ? if so, how?04:20
dr_willisi havent used vga in years.. but it can have interfearance04:20
BillyZane2it is an odd res04:20
dr_willischeck the xrandr docs. it might not work properly wioth the nvidia drivers.04:21
BillyZane2it's a special res used for working with 2 documents side by side.. 2048x1152 that is04:21
BillyZane2i have the nvidia drivers installed evidently04:21
dr_willisso this is a rather rare monitor then.04:21
BillyZane2i don't mind trying 1920x1080 though04:21
BillyZane2dr_willis: the resolution is, yes. however, I was working on this res with the 5 foot cable04:21
BillyZane2dr_willis: I could go to my friend's house and get my 5 foot cable back i suppose, i traded it for a 25ft cable that turned out to be horrendous04:22
BillyZane2I've been going through a cable ordeal lately04:22
dr_willis25 ft for vga would be extreme for vga i would iomagine04:23
BillyZane2it has horrible ghosting. I'm using a 15 foot cable right now which is the smallest I could find over 6 feet04:23
* dr_willis recalls his large box of differnt cables and stiff.. dont ghink i got any vga over 6 ft long04:23
BillyZane2But I believe the 15 foot cable might be the issue, the EDID information is being degraded04:24
dr_willisi do have a 25ft hdmi cable. ;)04:24
BillyZane2unless of course i'm totally wrong on this and it's impossible for that to occur04:24
BillyZane2long cables are horrible unless you have a signal booster from what i've read04:24
dr_willisim not even sure if vga  uses edid info.. been so long siince i last used it04:24
dr_willisi switched to dvi/hdmi and havent looked back04:25
BillyZane2lucky u :)04:25
dr_willissoon to be all hdmi on my systems04:25
hektacsome VGA connectors do, but apparently that isn't standard04:25
BillyZane2i have a 6 foot DVI cable too... it's so ridiculous that I can't use it04:25
BillyZane2it's perfect size04:25
BillyZane2i will try to look up xrandr documents online04:26
HyperiantWhen you make a bootable LiveUSB, isn't the entire file system kept in a single large, compressed file?04:27
BillyZane2i found a command04:28
HyperiantI'm seeing a gigantic filesystem.squashfs file, and there's a casper-rw file for persistence that's 4GB04:28
HyperiantIf that's the case, then doesn't this cause more lag than a "full" install of Ubuntu, which (I presume) just places files in their respective folders on the drive instead of within a huge file?04:29
dr_willisthe changes are stored to the casper-rw file04:31
dr_willisand yes. a live install is gong to be slower then a full install04:31
dr_willisand have other limits04:31
HyperiantIs there a way I can put a full bootable install on a USB drive?04:31
dr_willisYou can do a full install to a usb.. same as you would to a internal HD04:31
HyperiantDoes it work if you move PCs?04:32
dr_willissame steps.. be sure that grub is goin gto the usb04:32
dr_willisiit can work04:32
dr_willisof course moving to a ati based pc   when you ahve nvidia drivers installed can be an annoyance04:32
dr_willislive-usbs biggest advantage is differnt hardware detection that should work on most systems.04:33
Hyperianthmm04:33
dr_willisbut you are going to have a challange getting the  nvidia or fglrx driers working on a live-usb04:33
dr_willisive used a 32gb usb as a main system drive for months04:33
HyperiantI just bought a 32GB myself, and I'm hoping to use it as a main system drive for my laptop04:34
HyperiantBut I also want to be able to go to other PCs and boot from it04:34
dr_willisit should boot.. but depending on whats on the other pcs - some drivers may  not work..04:34
dr_willisand if you update grub. it may detect the other pc's extra os;s04:34
dr_williswhich then wont work  if you move it to a difffent pc...04:34
dr_willisbut ubuntu should still boot04:35
BillyZane2dr_willis: I tried xrandr --size 1920x1080 and it says "size 1920x1080 not found in available modes"04:35
HyperiantI made a live USB using the help articles on the Ubuntu website; should I delete everything off of the drive before I install "full" Ubuntu?04:35

Hyperiantoh.04:37
HyperiantI heard something about ext2 working better than ext3 for small drives04:38
HyperiantShould I do that for my 32GB?04:38
dr_willisi use ext404:38
dr_willisdosent really seem to matter to me from what ivbe done with it04:39
HyperiantMore accurately, the Ubuntu help pages say that ext2 has low overhead04:39
dr_willisi doubt if you will be able to tell the differance04:40
BillyZane2dr_willis: I used xrandr --fb 1920x1080 , but the problem now is that my desktop environment is one giant black square with the desktop on the top left corner, and I can move around this black void with my mouse04:41
dr_willisguess thats progress. ;)04:42

BillyZane2jordo: graphics card04:48
BillyZane2ok, how about this, i'll power down, switch, power up04:48
jordoin your bios settings, is the PCI express card set as default for video out?04:48
jordosometimes you have to set it04:48
dr_willissome nvidia cards turn OFF the other ports if you power on and nothing is connected to them04:48
BillyZane2jordo: I don't know. I do have the on board graphics on though04:49
HyperiantIf Ubuntu formats my flash drive, can I still use Windows to access the files on it?04:49
jordozane: Try going into your bios setup and looking for something along the lines of "default monitor output" or something. it'll either be VGA or PCI i think04:49
dr_willisHyperiant:  thats another advantage of a live-usb setup.. it uses fat32...  a full install would use ext* and thus windows wont know what to do with it04:50
dr_willisthe various ext* reader tools for windows.. i found rather flakey04:50

confuzzled-studilook through synaptic for LVM toolkits, and then read their instruction manuals; or you could download a distro like backbox or backtrack and use their live DVD's to mount, check, possibly repair, and backup the data off the drive04:53
BillyZane2there's a button on the monitor that says source, i can switch from VGA to DVI input04:54

amomait is perfectly safe to inspect what is in binaries, who you scare ?05:26
histoamoma: gnome-terminal cannot edit binaries05:26
Confuzzledit should, depending on the live usb creation tool05:26
histoamoma: or view them05:26
Hyperiantdr_willis: I've been urged by chat to just use a live USB, as it provides more compatibility without a significant lag increase05:26
amomai do not want edit, i want to see05:26
archzombieCan I download the ubuntu phone beta? I have a galaxy nexus by sprint, is it available for that?05:26
histoamoma: well you can't with gnome-terminal05:26
amomaor rather search05:26
ConfuzzledHyperiant, my preference is unetbootin05:26
histo!phone > archzombie05:27
ubottuarchzombie, please see my private message05:27
dr_willisHyperiant:  then you  are not doing a full install.. you just use the live installer maker thing...05:27
histoamoma: You need to use a hex viewer or editor05:27
amomadefinietly i can i do this for years05:27
histoamoma: really how?05:27
Confuzzledamoma: opening in a proggramming editor doesn't mean you have to edit, but terminal isn't equipped by default to handle opening binary files for inspection05:27
amomanow i getting this upset message on ubuntu05:27
Confuzzledyeah, open up your files using emacs or jed or joe or something05:28
histoamoma: gnome-terminal is just a X terminal nothing more05:28
amomaok in terminal i opening midnight commander05:28
histoamoma: Okay so you are using mc to look at a binary05:28
Confuzzledwrong program to try to open a binary file in05:28
histojesus05:28
amomabut this do not mater since it is fro gnome terminal05:28
Hyperiantdr_willis: I'm using it, but do I need to enable persistence in Ubuntu or will it be automatically enabled when I boot into it?  Also, is there a way to turn off the try/install thing and make it take less time to boot up?05:28
Confuzzledmc will attempt to run it, notshow you the code05:29
dr_willisHyperiant:  you tell the installer tool the size of the peristantce file to use.. and it uses it05:29
amomaConfuzzled, < as you say05:29
Confuzzledhyperiant, if you've got persistence set up when you installed it on the thumb-drive, it should work automagically, and you can't really turn off the try/install thing unless you do a different sort of install05:30
HyperiantConfuzzled: different sort?05:30
=== c_smith is now known as c_smith_away
histoamoma: Are you using F4 to view the hex?05:31
amomaso where is con fig file controlling install of all the alien fonts ?05:31
histoamoma: possibly in gconf somewhere.05:31
Confuzzledhyperiant, try unetbootin for your thumb-drive, I think you can use it to install to a usb as if it were an SSD HDD, rather than a thumb-drive with an *.iso on it05:31
dr_willisalien fonts?05:31
amomahisto, f4 f8 depends what i look for05:31
histoamoma:And when does the prompt for fonts come up?05:31
amomadr_willis, klions for example,05:32
HyperiantConfuzzled: Yes, but then comes the issue I was talking about before; it also needs to be read/writable by any Windows PC05:32
dr_willisi just drag/drop new fonts into my   .fonts directory   ;)05:32
dr_willisor double click on them and use their installer tool05:32
amomahisto, the prompt is pop up box gnome related05:32
histodr_willis: he is saying that when he looks at a hex editor in gnome-terminal it prompts him to install fonts05:32
Confuzzledhyperiant, you can create a seperate FAT32 partition on the drive as a swap/share /home05:33
dr_williscant say ive ever seen a hex editor need any extra fonts,05:33
dr_willisthere are terminal  based hex editors thata would use the normal terminal fonts also.05:34
histodr_willis: rigth I have no idea wth he is talking about either05:34
amomahisto, i searched all etc and .hiden for string fonts and all combination, i asking for help second day05:34
dr_willishisto:  this seems to be the day for confusons05:34
HyperiantConfuzzled: I'd like to keep as much Windows-accessible space as possible because I don't know how much I'll be using, but at the same time I'm not sure how much Ubuntu space I'll be using, and it'd be a pain to constantly keep expanding partitions and/or reformatting05:34
histoamoma: I've never seen gnome-terminal prompt for a font installation05:34
dr_willisHyperiant:  best answer.. get a 2nd usb flash  drive. ;))05:35
histoamoma: and based on some google searches I don't believe it does.05:35
Confuzzledhyperiant, another option you might consider would be to use one of the many system configuration tools to create a live-cd based off of the distribution and customizations of the ubuntu-box you're using,05:35
Hyperiantdr_willis: I may very well do this, haha05:35
Confuzzledhyperiant, what size drive are you using?05:35
histoHyperiant: What is your ultimate goal here?05:35
Confuzzled^^^^^05:36
HyperiantConfuzzled: 32GB05:36
histoomfg05:36
histoHyperiant: that's plenty of space for a seperate storage partition05:36
ConfuzzledWhat's you're ultimate goal with all of this?05:36
dr_willisunless you need like 30gb for windows.. ;)05:36
HyperiantConfuzzled: A USB drive that's bootable from multiple computers, writable and readable from Windows, and doesn't break when I use Ubuntu Software Center to load programs05:37
dr_willisHyperiant:  you dont wan tto be install ing a lot  via software center to a live-usb.. thats just a fact of life.. you can do some.. but  its Not going to be as flexiable as a full install05:38
koumorileook we found device id  14e4:435705:38
ConfuzzledCreate a bootable ext3 partition of ~8GB for '/', and then partition the rest in FAT3205:38
dr_willisa live usb -  has limitations in what will work if you install it.05:38
histoHyperiant: That would be a normal Ubuntu usb disk with perisistance.  It's already formatted in fat3205:38
Hyperiantdr_willis: What limitations, for example, might I run into?05:39
dr_willisHyperiant:  installing newer kernels, drivers, may not work right05:39
HyperiantConfuzzled: Would 8GB be enough for packages?  I don't want to have to reformat to expand the partition05:39
[x_]anyone use squidGuard?05:39
dr_willisand theres going to  be size imitaions when your persistanc file fills up05:39
amomahisto, just typing the string:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50102305:39
ubottubugzilla.redhat.com bug 501023 in gnome-packagekit "gnome-terminal wants to confuse you about installing a font" [Medium,Closed: nextrelease]05:39
amomafirst of 180K05:40
Confuzzledyes, if you set /home to be on your FAT32, should be plenty, depending on what you're installing.05:40
Hyperiantwait, what05:40
ConfuzzledI am also a minimalist, and uninstall as much garbage as possible05:40
Confuzzledlike all of Unity05:40
dr_willishome on a fat32 will have its own limitions also05:40
zykotick9dr_willis: i'm not 100% sure "persistance" even allows for programs to be installed... i think it might only be file storage...  i could be wrong.05:40
Confuzzledyes, but it will maintain your maximum windoze compatibility05:41
dr_williszykotick9:  it does.. but if you do it a lot - you can run into issues.05:41
amomaand with strin"ubuntu" http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2009-09/msg10869.html05:41
dr_williszykotick9:   ir ecall issues with kernels. and  the nvidia and fgrx drivers05:41
Confuzzledpersistance tracks configuration changes, and some package installs... but it has to process with every start up and shutdown05:41
Hyperiantdr_willis: What limitations would it be for having /home/ on FAT32?  Would it install packages to the FAT32 partition and boot from the ext4 partition?05:41
amomahisto, http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2009-09/msg10869.html05:41
zykotick9dr_willis: i find full install to usb makes a lot more sense then persistance05:42
amomahisto, aparently is not only me05:42
HyperiantConfuzzled: That was one of my other main issues; my USB drive takes about twenty minutes to boot from my craptop05:42
ConfuzzledI would run root on an ext3, rather than ext4 if compatibility is considered to be an issue05:42
histoamoma: assuming you are using a 2009 version of fedora then yes05:42
dr_willisHyperiant:  no owndership, no modes,  and things  other things from Not using a real  linux supported filesystem. vvfat does not have all the features that ext2/3/4 does05:42
histoamoma: That is an antient bug05:42
dr_willis20 min? what is it? a USB-1 ?05:43
Hyperiantdr_willis: I believe so, this is a pretty old laptop05:43
Confuzzledhyperiant, I would figure out exactly what you're looking to do with the drive, and then exstimate a conservative partition size for root, /usr, and /home05:43
koumorileoquestion ... will the driver for 14e4:4357 be different from 14e4:4358 for ndiswrapper ?05:43
Hyperiantdr_willis: I have a USB 2.0 card but I doubt WIndows auto-detects it05:43
amomahisto, ancient but surviving, like neanderthal05:43
histoamoma: On that bug  they added a gconf key it looks like.05:43
HyperiantRather, I doubt that my laptop can boot from it05:43
histoamoma: perhaps file a bug report with gnome then05:44
histoamoma: or use a different terminal for the time being05:44
amomaok, i can live with dis05:44
amomaut it just pesky annoing05:44
Confuzzledhyperiant, you can customize your paths to folders inside your home directory to point to locations on the FAT fs, and that way all of your configuration files should be retained ona  native linux fs05:44
amomahisto, of corse if i turn F{2..6} i can do it ,05:45
HyperiantConfuzzled: For the Ubuntu portion, I intend to install assorted utilities, and optimistically a few games05:45
amomabut it is set back those days to advise not to use x05:45
Confuzzledece it's primarily a single user system, I have dox, downs, pix, movs folders that are shared across my distros05:45
histoamoma: right becuase you aren't using gnome-terminal I'd assume soem other terminals won't act the same way05:45
histoamoma: There are plenty of other terminal choices in X05:46
mahamayaMahamaya05:46
amomahisto, ok i dont thisn but trying , thanks now05:46

mahamayaMahamaya tripathi05:47
Confuzzledhyperiant, i'de set up your usb as a full install, and install your ntfs, and nfs tool packages, and you should be plenty fine with 8GB of space for /, especially if you re-path your documents and stuff to the FAT32 partition05:47
dr_willisBillyZane2:  dont make me slap you....   ;P05:48
BillyZane2lol05:48
dr_willismake the fonts larger...05:48
dr_willisthe whole point of the monitor was to show 2 pages side by side. :)  you need a 60 in plasma tv?05:48
Confuzzledhyperiant - one thing I would be sure to do though is ditch the unity WM for something like gnome, kde, or xfce05:48
Confuzzledunity is a giant sack of unneccesary bloat05:49

BillyZane2Dr_willis: I'm very close to abandoning windows.. I can feel it. The very last step in the process is setting up an SSH account05:49
dr_willisHyperiant:   you are using 12.04 or 12.10?05:49
BillyZane2now.. I have openssh-server installed05:50
Hyperiantdr_willis: 12.1005:50
dr_willisHyperiant:  lubuntu may be better suited for a low end  machine..  12.10 requires a CPU  with PAE also..  so i guess if it works.. then the cpu has pae. ;)05:50
BillyZane2umm.. let me figure out how to config this05:50
SpeirosHello.  Can someone help me with why my mic might not work on ubuntu 10.04?05:50
Hyperiantdr_willis: PAE?05:51
dr_willisBillyZane2:  i just install then use.. ;) not much to configure for ssh05:51
dr_willis!pea05:51
dr_willis!pae05:51
ubottuTo use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info05:51
dr_willisa lot of very old hardwre dosent have PAE - so is limited to 12.0405:51
Hyperiantah05:51
Confuzzledhyperiant, on somehting that old, i'd use xfce as a wm over unity. yeah, it's pretty, but it will slow you down more than you need.05:51
Hyperiantwell, Ubuntu dual-booted just fine with 12.1005:51
dr_willisso your system is not super old...05:51
dr_willisLubuntu works well for older systems.05:52
ConfuzzledI've run on an older P4 than that, but I also had 1GB RDRAM with it05:52
Hyperiantdr_willis: Can it do that really cool thing where you can tile windows to, for example, share a screen equally05:52
=== test2 is now known as IcePee
BillyZane2I have a question. Suppose I enter SSH and i want to initiate a GUI environment. I would need to install an extremely minimal GUI right? One that would work well over an internet connection. I was using a unix system earlier today and it had a really simple GUI that worked very well. Is there something like that for linux?05:52
yatrigawhich is the best video editoy05:53
Hyperiantdr_willis: Admittedly it's a bit of a stretch if it's a lightweight OS, to be able to tile windows and swap workspaces like in Unity05:53
Confuzzledi can't remember the name, but there is an rdesktop app designed to run over an ssh connection05:53
Confuzzledhyperiant, if you're committed to the ubuntu-distro, i would switch up your WM.05:54
Confuzzledif not, i'd look into other distro's of 'nix05:55
dr_willis!info freenx05:55
ubottuPackage freenx does not exist in quantal05:55
dr_willishmm..05:55
HyperiantI can let go of swapping workspaces, that much is a luxury05:55
dr_willisBillyZane2:  ssh and its x forwarding lets you forward a single app easially :) thats about all i ever need05:55
HyperiantBeing able to tile windows to share half a screen is extremely useful though05:56
dr_willisHyperiant:  even the most basic window manager for linux ive seen.. has Workspaces.. ;) its been a feature for decades05:56
Hyperiantdr_willis: Oh, that's encouraging then05:56
dr_willisHyperiant:  lubuntu works well.. it uses openbox. or you could just use openbox by itself05:56
Confuzzledhyperiant, for a machine with <1GB of RAM, I really wouldn't use any WM heavier than XFCE or LDXE, unless you're running a super-minimal distro, then maybe would I branch out into KDE05:57
dr_willisit gets to a point where its silly to try to use a uber-light desktop.. because 99% of your resources are being used by your  browser or other apps anyway. ;)05:57
BillyZane2dr_willis: Oooooo.. i seee.. so if you want a terminal, you would forward xterm, and if you want a GUI, you would forward the gui interface app or something05:57
ConfuzzledXFCE is lightweight enough that you can still easily swap WorkSpaces05:57
HyperiantWhat about compatibility between distros, then?  Are there programs that are incompatible with some distros over others?05:57
dr_willisa simple window manager..  and then run what apps ya need from a terminal05:57
dr_willisBillyZane2:  not much need to forward a xterm over ssh.. since ssh allready gives you a terminal. ;) but its doable05:58
BillyZane2dr_willis: good point05:58
BillyZane2dr_willis: would LXDE be a good candidate for an "app" to forward?05:58
Confuzzledit's more of a question of apps that require/designed for services provided by a particular desktop environment05:58
amomahisto, you are right05:58
ConfuzzledQT apps versus gnome-apps05:58
dr_willisbillyzane2  thats not an APP.. its a whole desktop05:58
amomahisto, you are right05:58
BillyZane2dr_willis: is it possible to forward a desktop?05:59
HyperiantConfuzzled: For a more specific example, I hope to run Steam on whatever distro I pick, and all I know for sure is that it probably supports Ubuntu05:59
SpeirosSo does anyone know if I can change some settings to get the microphone to work, or do I need something else installed?05:59
dr_willisbillyzane2  its possible but a  bit pointless05:59
dr_willis and going to  be slow05:59
BillyZane2dr_willis: how come?05:59
amomaxterm and KDE konsole do not exhibit this buggy behavior05:59
dr_willisyou are forwarding like 20+ seperate apps....05:59
BillyZane2KDE!!that's what i was using earlier05:59
dr_willisvs the one you really wan tto use05:59
dr_willisvnc and freenx are for shareing a whole desktop06:00
BillyZane2I was in a KDE environment earlier (SunOS), would this be possible with SSH on ubunutu?06:00
histoBillyZane2: you can forward X apps over ssh yes06:00
Confuzzledhyperiant, if you wanna steam, then I'd probably stick with an ubuntu-based distro, and go with a minimalistic WM, like LDFE or XFCE or hell, even something like fluxbox06:00
dr_willisyou can install kde on ubuntu..06:00
amomaothervise gnome is infected with "anciend bug"06:00

Confuzzledit's very VERY basic, but highly configurable if you're willing to put int the time to learn to do so06:03
Hyperiantdr_willis, Confuzzled: So it's lubuntu as a distro?  If that's the case, is there any WM either of you two would recommend?  (and how would I go about installing them/uninstalling the old one anyway)06:03
DarwinSurvivormachicola: grep -v06:03
Confuzzledwhereas, XFCE is more like a desktop-environment that most people are used to06:04
dr_willis!lubuntu | Hyperiant06:04
ubottuHyperiant: 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.06:04
ConfuzzledXFCE even supports some basic 'widget-liike' apps06:04
dr_willisHyperiant:  i would say time to quit dawdling.. and go inssttall lubuntu live to your flash and try it06:04
histomachicola: you couold use cut06:05
DarwinSurvivormachicola: unless you are talking about content printed to stderr, in which case you want to do "sudo fping -g 192.168.3.0/24 2>/dev/null | grep available"06:05
ConfuzzledHyperiant: Xubuntu is the same, with XFCE. research lighter-eight WM, and figure out which one strikes your fancy06:05
machicolanot stderr i don't believe06:05
histomachicola: can you pastebin your output06:05

histoHyperiant: if you insist on using usb and you stated earlier you ahve a 32gb usb. I would give 10gb to ubuntu and 22gb as a data storage partition.06:38
quietonehisto, yea, that's what we have been doing. I was just hoping ....06:38
Confuzzledif you use FAT32 for your data partition, it is mountable, readable, and writeable by every OS out there you'll probably ever consider using06:38

Hyperianthisto, Confuzzled: At this point it seems to make more sense to repartition the drive and reinstall everything, but I don't have an XP install disc, which makes that...problematic, to say the least06:39
Confuzzledif you use ext3 for your linux root partition, then you would additionally be able to read and modify it from other alternative distros, such as if you need to use a rescue live-cd or something, or even from a mac.06:39
Confuzzledadditionally, you can instal NTFS tools into ubuntu, which will give you (theoretically) the ability to read/write your windoze drive from your linux OS06:40

zenuHas anyone been able install a dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 8 without the system defaulting to Windows 8 on startup unless explicitly told to boot from the HDD by selecting it from the boot menu?  I installed a dualboot on an HP laptop for a friend and could not get around this issue07:31
ububhI'm purging java and apt-get continue to reinstall an alternative, how can I force apt-get to *only* purge my java install?07:35
Supercompwindows 8 not pretty good hence didnt try07:35
zenu@Supercomp Is this a problem I should just expect from any Windows 8 installation?07:36
zenuor has somebody found a work around to it?07:36
ububhapt-get purge openjdk-7-jre installs me these new pkgs---> "openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless openjdk-6-jre-lib" and I don't want that! How can I solve this?07:36
Supercompi think you should be able to use dual boot if you first install windows and then ubuntu07:36
zenuThe problem is that the system bypasses Grub and defaults to Windows 807:37
ububhzenu: is that an issue realted to (U)EFI computer?07:37
zenuif the HDD is not selected manually from the boot selection07:37
zenuyes07:37
zenu(U)EFI07:37
ububhzenu: Lenovo?07:38
zenuHP07:38
zenuI disabled secure boot and got Ubuntu installed07:38
ububhzenu: HP?... Crap... Pure crap! Btw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI07:38
zenubut it seems wrong to install a dual boot for a friend that requires a complicated start up process07:38
ububhlook at point 5 of 1st chapter "Installing Ubuntu Quickly and Easily via Trial and Error"07:39

rsserI loved this wallpaper, ububh07:44
ConfuzzledI haven't used winblows since win2K was current and up-to-date, but I remember hearing some scary and nasty things about the so-called secure-boot feature of win8. on BIOS systems, it had to be able to be disabled, but on NON-BIOS systems, it COUULD NOT be disabled07:44
rsserit is very beautiful07:45
zenuwill those instructions solve Windows 8 being the default OS?07:45
Confuzzledyou might very well be locked into using windoze 8 on that achine07:45
ububhrsser: lol was for "asking to VinDSL" :D07:45
ububhConfuzzled: it's just harmless on non-ARM arch and btw Ubuntu has its own verified keys07:46

ububhConfuzzled: from 12.10 IIRC07:46
Confuzzledyeah, but if you want to try something outside of Ubuntu? the whole notion is rather offensive to me07:46

dr_willisububh:  i just install the java using the !java factoid guide and dont have to worry about it07:55

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.07:55

gipzoHello! What is the best way to copy all files from USB flash drive (it's ext2 partition) to HDD and compress them (tar.gz)? And how could I copy them back?07:58
zenugipzo you can use zip and cp for that07:58
zenuarchive manager and nautilus can be used if you like GUIs07:59
gipzozenu: I have bootable ubuntu server on that flash, and I want to clone it on different flash07:59
icerootgipzo: you want to clone the complete drive with filesystem or just the files itself?08:00
dr_willisgipzo:  cloneing an install is not the same as  copying files...08:00
helmut_hi08:00
zenuDo you mean clone it as a tar.gz or another live iso?08:00
gipzoIf by cloning you mean dd - it is very slow08:01
gipzoAnd I have different flash drives with different sizes08:01
gipzoBut size of system files are about 1.2 gigs08:01
gipzoWhile flash drives are 8gb and 16 gb08:02
zenuIs the 16 gb the drive you want to copy to?08:02
gipzoI want to write script, that will format fresh drive, install grub on it and copy all system files from tar.gz to that flash08:03
gipzoI have one 16 gb drive with working system08:03
zenuok08:03
gipzoAnd I will have dozen of fresh usb drives08:03
gipzothey will be 8 and 16 gigs08:03
gipzohow to format and install grub i know08:04
gipzoi want to copy files and compress them into tar.gz file, saving all attributes08:06
photonHello I had installed ubuntu with wubi but I was running out of space. So I uninstalled it and burned a copy of ubuntu on a cd and tried to install it with split partition. It was going well but then towards the end it told me that the disk was corrupt08:07
dr_willisgipzo:  if you want to clone a 16gb usb to other  usb  drives you can do that with dd08:07
photonand I had partitioned 200GB for it, now when I look at the drive I didn't get back those GBs back08:07
photonI can't even install Wubi again08:08
photonI don't know why08:08
dr_williswubi installs to some directory on the c:  see if its still there.   I dont recall its name08:08
gipzodr_willis: Two 16 gb usb drives could have slightly different sizes08:08
dr_willisgipzo:   cant say ive ever noticed the issue.08:09
photongipzo: Do you know what happened to me?08:09
TakeItEZgipzo: use a smaller (8GB) image, write it, resize partition/fs then08:09
zenu@gipzo my first instinct is to use tar to make the archive and then untar it to the location you want08:09
dr_willisgipzo:  i cloned a 8gb 'full install' from usb to several differnt hds and usbs then used gparted to fill out the rest of the hd.08:09
gipzozenu: will it keep all file attributes (permissions etc.)08:09
dr_willisgipzo:  or use clonzilla08:10
dr_willisjust copying the files will not make the other disks bootable.. if thats your end goal08:10
gipzoI have max 2 gb files on 8(16)gb flash drives08:10
gipzodd copy all 8 gigs08:11
gipzoit's 4 times slower08:11
dr_willisif you are worried about the sizes..  makd a 16gb usb and have the last gb be a swap partition. that way if there is a size issue.. you can easially remake the swap partion and not harm the rest of the installed system08:11
dr_willisyou just have to dd the image to the hard drive once..08:11
dr_willisthen you could be writing it to  3+ usb flash drives  at the same time08:11
Hyperiantconnect #ubuntu-bots08:11
Hyperiantwell that didn't work08:12
gipzoi can make usb bootable08:12
dr_willisdont forget to use the bs= option for dd also. ;)08:12
gipzowith ext2 partition08:12
gipzoguys, i can't use dd08:12
dr_willisdo what you want then.08:12
gipzoit's _very_ slow08:12
zenubrb08:12
dr_willissounds like you are not using the bs= option to me08:13
Tuna-Fishhow do I clear the metadata of a broken package?08:13
Tuna-FishI explicitly do not want to remove any actual files contained in said package08:13
gipzoit's not because i'm not using different block size, it's because it will copy all 8 gb, and i need only 208:13
gipzoWhat I want to do: 1. Copy all files from USB and store the in tar.gz file on my HDD. 2. Insert different flash, format it to ext2, install grub on it. 3. Uncompress files from tar.gz to new USB08:15
gipzoWill that work?08:15
dr_willisgipzo:    if you can manage the grub part by hand.08:15
dr_willisi really dont see the point in using ext2. but use whateer you want08:16
gipzoI found this manual - http://ohhohe.tripod.com/files/linux_usb_flashdrive.pdf08:16
dr_willistheres clonzilla i belive  that can  auto mate most all of it08:16
gipzoWhy not ext2?08:16
dr_williswhy ext208:16
gnomefreakits old08:17

rayhello, I bought a conceptronix Express Card for USB 3.0 but it's very unstable, I can't boot from it and copying large amounts of data keeps getting errors at some point and I have to reboot the machine. Anybody here has recommendations on a good USB3.0 express card?08:17
dr_willisray:  the one i bought --- dident fit in my pc. ;)08:18
gipzoIt will be used in info-terminals...08:18
raydr_willis: expresscards you buy normally for laptops with express-card slots :-)08:18
dr_willisray:  mine was for a desktop.. aparently it was for minipcie or somtjhing. ;) the  one slot my video card has covered by its fan.. oh well it was only $1508:19
raygnomefreak: why are you saying ext2 is not as secure as ext4? I am not really aware of great security features in ext4?08:19
dr_willisother desktop is a slim case.. it wwont fit in there either.08:19
raydr_willis: did you return it and get a refund?08:20
gipzoClonezilla wouldn't work: "The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one."08:20
dr_willisray:  im sure i will find a pc some day to fit it in.08:20
dr_willisif you just need 2gb.. make a 2gb partion... shrink it down to the minimal size needed.... then clonezilla can copy and enlarge08:20
dr_willisthen again.. does it even need to be enlarged if its juss for a   Koisk08:21
gipzo2 gb is only system, I need free space for media08:21
dr_willisso you could use a 3gb /, then a whatver is left for /data  or whatever you want08:22
dr_willisso if you image to a 16gb usb you get 13gb for /data   image to a 32gb usb  you have 29gb for /data08:22

ubottuKayAteChef, please see my private message08:34
Jack3k3also, do I need to specify a "Mount point" or leave that blank08:34
dr_willisJack3k3:  you could make a ntfs and format it now if you wanted08:35
dr_willisand put it at  /media/WindowsStuffs08:35
Jack3k3well my issue is that I can only boot via usb on my ubuntu stick08:35
dr_willisJack3k3:  you are better off installing windows furst08:35
gnomefreakJack3k3: normally best to install windows first08:35
picarooJack3k3: the best thing to do would be to let Windows format the drive first, and leave space for Ubuntu later on, but08:35
penguinmanJack3k3: generally with dual booting you want to do the windows install first since windows will overwrite your mbr without asking.08:36
picaroowow08:36
Jack3k3so i want to install linux now , leave a partition, for windows, then install windows and reinstall the boot loader08:36
pungi-manJack3k3, gnomefreak is correct .....08:36
Jack3k3right but as long as i boot back in and reinstall the boot loader its not a problem?08:36
dr_williswindows 7 also sort of likes 2 partitons.08:36
penguinmanyeah, and i'm assuming 8 is the same way08:36

KayAteChefthere are tutorials everywhere08:37
dr_willis may be safest to have a large space at the front in a primary, then  a extended with logicals afterwrds for linux08:37
Ben64Jack3k3: you should really install windows first08:37
pungi-manJack3k3, but do this in 2 partitions ..... one for windows and the other for ubuntu/linux08:37
Jack3k3right my drive is brand new, so i wanted to format one ext4 40gb for linux and leave 80gb to create a partition in for windows later08:37

pungi-manJack3k3, buy a windows image file and then install it then download and burn a ubuntu image file and then install it !08:40
picarooJack3k3: why can't you install a trial version of Windows, then install Ubuntu, then just overwrite the Windows install later?08:40
zenu@Jack3k3 Windows doesn't support dual booting very well. Installing Windows first is the best bet if you want both08:40

mechIf i make a driver on one linux machine, can I make install it on another?08:41
zenuJack3k3 would a VM work for what you need to do in Windows?08:41
penguinmanmech: what do you mean by make? as in code it yourself?08:42
Jack3k3not really, I mean, i'm confused why you guys are making it sound so bad, from everything I'm reading, you essentially need to just boot a live cd in after installing windows to reinstall/fix grub08:42
Jack3k3if thats all it is, I'm not worried about that08:42
picarooJack3k3: the thing is, there's no guarantee Windows will like what you've prepared for it.08:42
gnomefreakJack3k3: we are giving you the easiest way to doing the job that is all08:42
picarooIt's much more likely Ubuntu will like what Windows prepares for it.08:43
Jack3k3true08:43
penguinmanwindows doesn't play well with others08:43
Jack3k3well, i need something now, so i'll just install linux, try it with windows and if it fails format the whole thing and install windows first08:43

marenostrumHello. Ubuntu 12.04 here, with latest updates and with Firefox 18.0.1: Some minutes ago I was about to write "openjdk" (without quotes) in Firefox searchbar (set to google) to search the Web for it. I was not looking at neither the serachbar nor keyboard while ı was writing. Most probably I wrote the word (openjdk) and hit enter. But surprisingly Ubuntu software center opened showing its openjdk page. Then, when I checked the searchbar I saw that j09:32
marenostrumust some portion of the word (openjdk) is there. Any idea? Did I hit something else on the keyboard and what could it be? What's triggering software center via Firefox searchbar? I can't reproduce it with typing any other software/package name. Any idea? Thanks in advance.09:32
dr_willistap the alt key and try it marenostrum09:34
dr_willisalt = the hud. super = the dash09:34
marenostrumdr_willis, Thanks.09:34
dr_willisthe hud is an often overlooked feature.. you may want to check youtube for hud features videos. ;)  if it was the hud you used09:35
mrshr3dHi gotoguy, I'm no expert but don't believe it possible to run something as root without a password.  Would make it too easy for malicious scripts to run on your machine as root without your knowledge09:35
dr_willisyou can set up sudoers to allow running specific apps as root wituout a password09:36
gotoguy_mrshr3d: I think that's what Set UID flag is for.09:36
dr_willisand you can set things to be 'suid' to allow them to run as root09:36
dr_willisso. yes it is possible to set it up.09:36
gotoguy_dr_willis: suid don't work on my script for some reason, Does suid have to be a program.09:37
gotoguy_?09:37
dr_willisyou DONT make SUID scripts09:37
dr_willis;)09:37
dr_willissystem wont allow it for scripts. just executables09:37
dr_williswell binarys09:38
gotoguy_ahh, okay, I was wondering about that. thanks.09:38
dr_willistheres perhaps only a few suid binaries on your system also.09:38

dr_willisjello09:44
ArchRatioA few days ago, I tried to install Ubuntu, because I want to learn C, because that's apparently best done on an Unix-based system.09:44
ArchRatioI had the OS before, but I removed it using some Live CD of an OS with OS removal tools on it.09:44
ArchRatioSo I tried to reinstall it, and it failed to install the bootloader, or at, it prompted me to either skip it, or install it in a different location.09:45
ArchRatioI did the latter, and the OS itself seems to have installed fine, but I when I boot my PC, it just goes to Windows.09:45
picarooHas anyone ever had a problem with xterm replacing single quotes with the 'd' character?  Using Terminus font09:45

dzieglerHi is it possible to see the kernel messages and the splash screen on booting my pc? I remember ther was a way in Kubuntu hardy but i dont know in newer versions. I only can see my splash or the kernel messages...12:10
dr_willisdziegler:  not that i know of.12:11
famax8bishttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1569401/12:11
babilenfamax8bis: And "fdisk -l" /should/ work, but simply list information about ever block device. Could you paste your exact command and its output to a pastebin? (just copy the entire terminal content)12:11
dr_willisit got decided that kernel messages where to confuseing to beginners. ;) so they are all hidden by the splash screen12:11
babilenfamax8bis: Please include your exact command. Also /where/ are you executing these commands. AFAIK you haven't installed any Linux yet and are just making this up ;)12:11
famax8bisbabilen: i tried already to install it but couldnt see it after reboot so i formatted again12:12
asilhouettemy software updater doesn't work anymore. using the software updated does nothing. Any ideas anyone12:12

babilenfamax8bis: I am not closely familiar with Ubuntu's installer (I am a Debian person), but that sounds as if you forgot to install the bootloader (i.e. grub) to the MBR (if this is a non-EFI setup)12:13
famax8bis@auronandace: is a dual boot that i am trying to do12:13
auronandacefamax8bis: with 2 separate disks, are you booting the right disk?12:13
famax8bisguys wait hard drive is toatlly empty is no more anything on it zero nada niets12:13
asilhouettefamax8 use grub boot disk to fix the mbr12:14
famax8bisauronandace: yes 2 disks but i now erased it all to do it again12:14
babilenauronandace: That shouldn't make a difference if famax8bis installed the bootloader managed by Ubuntu to the disk (s)he is booting from (typically /dev/sda)12:14
* babilen still does not understand which command causes http://paste.ubuntu.com/1569368/ and why that is of any relevance to the installation at all. I would also still like to see the output (and command) of "fdisk -l /dev/sda" (and /dev/sdb if applicable)12:15
kostkondziegler, that was before plymouth. but check this post here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2012-June/056698.html12:15
famax8bisbabilen: is @sudo fdisk -l/dev/sda12:15

fidelpalmfacegirl: 64 should cause no problems nowadyas12:33
babilenfamax8bis: Ok, looks as if your partitioning worked. Just make sure to install the boot loader (grub) to /dev/sda (and not /dev/sdb or some partition (/dev/sda1 or anything with a number at the end)) during the installation12:33
KartagisZenger: oh, then I guess you could create a new user and so on12:33
Zengerthat said I think apos is right12:33
Mathiasis it possible to install ubuntu on another harddrive than the main disk? i'm thinking about installing it on a harddrive and stick it into another machine12:33
famax8bisbabilen: but why cant i see then that disk in the installation and why cant i monut it?12:33

aposMathias,  yes you can install to anything any where, just make sure your boot loader (grub) is installed to the boot device12:35
huttanpalmfacegirl: as a 32bit system cant support more than that12:35
Kartagissimpledot: yeah, log out and log in with cairodock (install it first)12:35
Zengeractually more than 3.2512:35
babilenfamax8bis: btw, what is the fat32 on /dev/sda for? I believe that your mistake was that you installed the bootloader to /dev/sdb and not /dev/sda (or some partition)12:35

Azmuthymy ubuntu only show 2gb ram instend of 3gb ram ???12:38
aposMathias,  im not understanding? ypu can install linux to any device and still dual boot. if your intention is to use the drive in other computers as well, you can also install grub to that drive and it will swap out and run on any machine any time without issue12:38
babilenLaura--: Ah, that would be "Properties" -- The "Edit" menu is at the top (between "Music" and "View"12:38
famax8bisit is not installed - when i boot otherwise it boots on the windows hd first or the usb key as i tell it to do when i try to install12:38
dr_willisankr:  you can use the ccsm tool to tweak compiz settings. theres alternative alt-tab things in ccsm12:39
huttanAzmuthy: pastebin cat /proc/meminfo12:39
dr_willis!ccsm12:39
ubottuTo enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz12:39

famax8bisg parted: yes all extras - not sure -12:40
Mathiasapos: i have swapped disks and stuff before, but then i installed from a cd. i have to install it to disk, in windows. (i might end up creating 3 partitions, putting the installer on one and making it bootable, then install it from the installer on the second and remove the third and expand the second)12:40
Azmuthyhuttan:http://pastebin.com/jCwdquLr12:40
babilenfamax8bis: Either way: You can (as root!): "mkdir /target" then mount your Ubuntu's root partition with "mount -t FILESYSTEM /dev/sdb2 /target" (replace FILESYSTEM with ext3 or ext4 or whatever you used". Continue with "mount -t proc none /target/proc ; mount -t sysfs none /target/sys" then chroot into your Ubuntu with "chroot12:40
aposMathias,  what do you mean install it in windows? you meen wubi?12:41
babilenfamax8bis: Then chroot into your Ubuntu with "chroot /target" and reinstall and configure grub with "update-grub2 ; grub-install /dev/sda"12:41
famax8bisbabilen: so manually mounting it will do?12:41
huttanAzmuthy: How are u running ubuntu? not virtualized or anything right?12:41

babilenfamax8bis: You can probably also use something like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair12:42

babilenubuntuw1204: Don't take it personally, but I had enough of support in #ubuntu for today. I am also not involved in Ubuntu and does not use it, so I am not really qualified to help. (I am a Debian Maintainer, and Debian does things slightly different)12:47
GerowenThanks everybody!12:47
ubuntuw1204babilen: are you on #debian also12:47
babilenfamax8bis: You should put grub on whatever disk you boot from (presumably /dev/sda) which is not necessarily the disk you install Ubuntu on (but might be)12:47
Mathiasapos: nvm, a friend of mine is loaning me a computer :)12:48
aposMathias,  thats not really going to work. best i can recommend is turn the drive into a linux live disk with persistence, which is not the best way to do it but it will work. use windows disk managment to make a small partition for the live ISO, leave the rest unpartitioned. use a seperate live disk to boot the PC and partition the rest of the drive as ext2 and label that partition caper then delete the casper file on the windows formatte12:48

aposfamax8,  format the drive to your needs, close gparted, run the Ust installer, "choose something else" use the ext4 partition as "/" and the swap as swap. make sure grub is being loaded to your windows hard drive (the boot drive)13:44

craigbass1976I can't deal with Unity.  Is there a guide somewhere (wheelchair accessible -- I'm very numb to new desktops) to help me migrate from GNOME2 (or actually a heavily customized XFCE that acts like GNOME2) to unity?13:45
cfhowlettmeet, screencloud.  It's in software center13:45
compdocwebfox, open this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules13:46
cfhowlettcraigbass1976, you can install xfce, kde or just about any other desktop environment and use that instead of unity.  I'm unaware of a published migration guide.13:46
aposcraigbass1976,  you can install whatever window manager you want from ubuntu software center. i recommend xfce413:46

craigbass1976cfhowlett, apos Last holiday season (2011) I gave unity and gnome3 (ubuntu and fedora16) a try, couldn't deal with it, and went to xfce.  I'd like to try again, but was wondering if there was a guide somewhere with lots of "Well, duh... this is how you do such and such" types of things in it.  I miss a panel at the bottom showing all of my open windows; a place to see all of my apps (like an applications menu)13:50
aposcraigbass1976,  its very simple to do. open ubuntu software center and search for xfce and press install13:51

zykotick9lantizia: check /boot for a config-* file14:46
BluesKajK4k, if you are back on the default kernel then what is the problem , resolution still not correct ?14:46

BluesKajk4k , get rid of the sputnik ppa14:47
K4kWhen I apply that update, however, it breaks my screen resolution because the ppa kernel I'm using includes some things which improve support for the Dell XPS "sputnik" laptops14:47

kris_therrienmy server is hp proliant 380 g415:09
kris_therriennot vertiual15:09
theadminWell, HP is partnered with Canonical and Proliant servers come with Ubuntu preinstalled I think so we can cut out the probability of incompatibility...15:10
kris_therrienI have ruled out hardware as i have run every diagnostic i can think of and it comes back fine15:10
ikoniakris_therrien: that doesn't mean there is an incompatability15:11
ikoniakris_therrien: have you ran a memory test for example ?15:11
kris_therrienI read on one bug report of upgrading the smartaray firmware   yes i have run memory test and it passed15:11
ikoniakris_therrien: are you using the smart array in raid mode ?15:12
ikoniakris_therrien: what model array controller is it a p series ?15:12
ikoniaor an i series15:12
kris_therrienhmm not sure on the series and its raid 015:12
ikoniakris_therrien: ok, so a.) check the series of the card b.) install with out raid to test15:13
k1lkris_therrien: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=173568015:13
ikoniaraid 0 is a bad technology to use for your root disks, so moving that out of the way for a test is a wise move15:13
k1l"The trick was upgrading the SmartArray firmware from version 2.36 to version 2.84. "15:14
kris_therrienit seems to make me use raid as i cannot seem to disable the smartarray15:14
ikoniakris_therrien: it will not make you use raid15:14
ikoniakris_therrien: if you set the array to have no volumes/arrays on it drops to jbod mode15:15
ikoniakris_therrien: I suggest researching your hardware a little more15:15
ikoniaand being able to validate it's compatability beyond "I don't know"15:15
ikoniarather than just keep installing 28 times15:15
kris_therrienif i delete the logical drive from the array setup when i try to install ubuntu it shows no drives15:15
ikoniakris_therrien: I would suggest contacting HP to confirm the model number of the card (you should be able to see it from the smart array tools) and verifying how to drop it into jbod15:16
ikoniakris_therrien: if you MUST use raid, do a test with a raid 1 mirror15:16
kris_therrienok ill go down to the server and find the model number15:17

jhutchinsubuser: So quit using it.16:12
k1lzombiejim: provide the logs and error messages so see what causes it16:12

mhsCan anybody tell me that how to install software without internet connection16:13
ubuserUbuntu + Dell = LOVE16:14
zombiejimk1l, but i will say i'd use linux mint because the users are much more friendly to linux noobs.. but nvidia will not work with them properly which is why im forced to use ubuntu16:14
theadminmhs: You normally don't. What a weird thing to do.16:14
ubusernow I update it to LTS16:14
theadminzombiejim: Have you tried Xubuntu? Kubuntu? Lubuntu?16:14
EphexeveAnyone?16:14
theadminzombiejim: They are all officially supported Ubuntu versions with different desktops preloaded.16:14
k1lzombiejim: so just another pun. im out.16:14
makarahi. From yesterday my 12.04 notebook won't boot - stuck on purple and black garbage screen. No ctrl+alt+f1 or +del. Safemode boots. What's up?16:14

zombiejimtheadmin, I want a DE that I can drag windows to the side and have them automatically resize themselves properly like unity does, be able to just press the window key and search for a program ctrl+alt+t terminal etc16:15
makaramhs: you get the .deb file and open that, but usually not16:15
zykotick9makara: tried nomodeset yet?  see "/msg ubottu nomodeset" for details.16:15
zombiejimk1l, later.. what else would you expect being attacked by 4 people at once because im ignorant to linux and trying to learn16:16
mhsAs all of us are new to ubuntu can you tell me how join FOSS as a member and get help from them.16:16

zombiejimsimpledot, okay i appreciate your response16:19
makaramhs: do your homework now, like I am...16:19
jhutchinsEphexeve: 99% likely it's either the card or the router/ap; a hardware issue.  Since it works at startup the software is ok.16:19

zykotick9jhutchins: ahhh ubuntu != debian.  there isn't the entire repo on dvd for ubuntu.16:22
jhutchinsmhs: Most linux distributions use a software management system rather than a download-and-install concept.16:22
simpledotzombiejim, you're the guy that has 3.5 kernel?16:22
cleamoonis there any good accounting program in linux?16:22
k1lMySelf_: what are you trying to do?16:22
commode-rocketmhs basically you will need internet connection intially for download and building your own repo server16:22
zombiejimsimpledot, no the first install when i did the updates it went to 3.5 kernel, this time it stayed on 3.2 after updates16:23
jhutchinszykotick9: Yeah, I'm thinkin' debian.16:23
zombiejimsimpledot, err should say yes thats me16:23
LIDHhow do i Add the PS/2 mouse driver?16:23
makaramhs: .deb files. It depends on what the developer of the software offers you. Sometimes its something else.16:23
jhutchinsmhs: This suggests a local mirror would be a better idea.16:23
MySelf_k1l: i try to get into GUI16:23
k1lzombiejim: there is no 3.5 kernel in precise. and if you dont give and logs or errormessages noone can help you by inly guessing16:24

mhsPlease don't mind, as I have told that I am totally new to this ubuntu. I not understanding what this mirror a d repo server is all about. Please guide me that where I can get ubuntu beginner help.16:24
jhutchinszombiejim: You might consider pastbining your sources.list so we can figure out where you got a 3.5 kernel from.16:24

LIDHjhutchins thanks, but i still don't get it, it is not a mouse, it's a touch controller that isn't detected16:45
fellayaboyi know the webcam works jsut fine cuz ubuntu asked me to take a pic when i first installed the ubuntu16:45
LIDHit is PS/2 interface16:45
jhutchinsfellayaboy: The plugins for those services have to know about your camera and be able to access it through a common interface like tv://16:46
fellayaboyok how do i do that then16:47
jhutchinsLIDH: You'll have to search on the actual hardware model then, there were/are various different devices that connected through PS/2 ports (which are basically just serial ports).  You could blindly try the existing PS/2 compatible drivers, but it's better to track down the specific hardware.16:47

awatermaHey all! I'm having trouble bringing up two network cards on the same box under 12.10. When one goes up, the other drops.16:49
mrintegritysmt: not sure what you mean really.. the update / support cycle is based on the ubuntu version number.. doesn't matter if you are running it as a server o desktop.. or what cd image you installed from16:49
LIDHit's egalax touch, already have the drivers, but when i install it shows up a "error" (no ps/2 mouse driver found under /dev/bus/serio/devices/serioX16:50
awatermaDo all network cards have to be configured with the same gateway?16:50

jhutchinsLIDH: Since the correct way to install the drivers is with apt, and since your system doesn't correctly find the drivers, I suspect you DON'T already have the drivers, but if you prefer to go your own way rather than follow the guides I posted that's fine.17:15
jamaadaarLIDH is your driver ending with .deb17:16
jhutchinsLIDH: You need to configure the xorg.conf file for it to work in a GUI.17:16
LIDHi already did lots of tutorials17:16
LIDHbut let me check once again17:16
jhutchinsLIDH: That could be the problem, you might need a clean install to un-do the stuff about external drivers.17:16

When it's connected to router the commands apt-get install/update stuck at [Waiting for Headers] but if i connect it directly to the modem everything works fine.

scristopherI noticed this clock screensaver thing before i installed xscreensaver17:53
erupterOerHeks, that does not allow me to start unity17:53
compdocChriys, when you hook up the router, what ip address does ubuntu obtain?17:53
erupterOerHeks, is I boot in text and then run "unity" it can't find no monitor17:53
erupter*if17:53
jhutchinsscristopher: Are you running a DNS server?17:54
scristopherno17:54
Chriys192.168.1.101 i configured the router to give this ip to the computer17:54
jhutchinsDoes your router run a DNS server?17:54
OerHekserupter, in that same ans17:54
larsduesingjrib: Hmm, strange. this works with me17:54
scristopherumm it does not17:54
OerHekserupter, in that same answer "Also, you can still launch it any time you want manually by doing sudo service lightdm start"17:54
larsduesing<- problem maybe in front of computer17:54
jhutchinsscristopher: THen you need to put a valid nameserver in the resolv.conf.17:54
OerHeksstartx might also work17:55
erupterOerHeks, so I shouldn't run "unity" but rather start lightdm first and then run unity?17:55
scristopherfor the clock lock screen to disable?17:55
jhutchinsscristopher: 8.8.8.8 is valid, but you should probably use the one provided by your isp.17:55
jhutchinsscristopher: Your isp probably sets the nameserver via dhcp when you connect directly.17:55

BadileDaOrtothis my log : http://pastebin.com/kmKR7zTH18:39
damselfly9kovu; the manual for your printer indicates it is a parallel port model, so no usb problems. does the printer's self-test show that is it working correctly?18:39
bekksjhutchins: If YOU were reading with poaying a bit more attentio to it, you would have read that he told us that the installation was finished without errors.18:39

usr13_bekks: On the contrary, he said " Normal installation failed"18:41
garajeff18:41
damselfly9kovu; oh. so there might be a usb problem with the printer not being detected through the usb-parallel converter18:41
mannii have installed ubuntu multiple times in last week18:41

scristopherpft gnome3 rocks18:57
k1lRonalds_M: there are several user who can seriuosly work with unity. so that is not a general statment :/18:57
damselfly9kovu; the thing lsusb detected was your usb-parallel convertor. It appears ubuntu isn't detecting your bj-10sx through that convertor. You will need to manually specify your printer as being a usb printer of the bj-10sx type18:57
scristopherextensions tweak the whole thing out make it extremely powerful and easy to use IMHO18:58
Guest8945how is gnome 3.6 on fedora? not the old one in ubuntu18:58
ryankaskhi all. i am about to move my ubuntu partition to a new ssd. I don't see any options to "hibernate" so I'm not going to allocate much swap space. I do occasionally "suspend" -- will I be able to suspend without swap?18:58
kovuso how do i do that please i am a noob at this type of thing18:58
LIDHjust did some settings to xorg.conf and now it wont display any image18:58
usr13_oskiiiiii: Might try and repair them. (But if there are too many in one spot, it may be a no-go).18:58
compdocoskiiiiii, sounds bad18:58
Ronalds_Mk1l, try doing spreadsheets18:58
David-Aoskiiiiii: good its a new HD then, return it and get a fresh one18:58
zykotick9ryankask: ubuntu disabled hibernate by default...18:58
Ronalds_Mtry some games and webbrowsing, until it locks in some phase18:59
damselfly9kovu; me too, I have an ethernet print server so I never need to mess around with usb printers18:59
ryankaskzykotick9: so I can safely do without more than 2gb swap with 8gb ram + ss18:59
ryankaskd18:59
ryankaskor possibly no swap18:59
LIDHjust did some settings to xorg.conf and now it wont display any image, how do I solve it?18:59
zykotick9ryankask: sidenote - hibernate requires as much swap as you have physical ram + a little18:59
kovudarn so you sont know either18:59
Ronalds_Mhow is gnome panel better than xfce panel18:59
Gilbert32does swap affect suspend?18:59
Ronalds_M?19:00
oskiiiiiiThe fact is that I had another disk with showed bad sectors in smart status, so I replaced by a new one. Still failing, so I though that it was a bad controller. I send to repair the laptop, and plug the old drive in an identical new laptop, bad sectors again. New drive+new laptop, same problems19:00
kovufudge19:00
k1lRonalds_M: where are the bug reports? etc. unity is fine here and on other systems. so your opinion stays your opinion and is not a general problem19:00
zykotick9ryankask: no swap = slower system, but do what you want.19:00
Ronalds_Min general it's just it's compiz functions are broken19:00
Ronalds_Mand some openoffice stuff brokes sometimes19:00
oskiiiiiiMaybe both HDs are bad, maybe both laptops, but both possibilities sounds weird19:00
kovuanyway you know someone or something that will help me out19:00
Ronalds_Mbut generally less than windows19:01
* scristopher doesnt care for unity19:01
ryankaski'm going to create a 2gb swap partition19:01
compdocoskiiiiii, bad luck then19:01
ryankaskoff to install this bad boy, thanks for the assistance19:01
usr13_ryankask: Do you have 2G RAM?19:01
ryankaski have 8gb19:01
usr13_ryankask: Make your swap 8G19:01
zykotick9ryankask: only follow usr13_'s advice if you want hibernate19:02
damselfly9kovu; it's not so easy, ubuntu printing expects a usb printer to id itself, but tht's not happening because it's really a paralle printer19:02
usr13_zykotick9: There are other reasons.19:02
SolarisBoy+1 other wise 2GB is fine19:02
k1lso Ronalds_M if you dont have an actual issue to be solved keep the general "unity is bad" talk to the offtopic channels please19:02
ktheoryin ubuntu for some reason19:02
zykotick9usr13_: beyond 2.5GB swap becomes less effective...19:02
ktheorywhenever i put my laptop to sleep19:02
ryankaski don't hibernate. i'll allocate 2gb to be safe19:02
ktheoryit won't connect to the internet afterard19:02
kovuso how do i trick it into making it think its a usb printer19:02
usr13_zykotick9: How so?19:03
ryankaskswapiness down to 1019:03
ryankasksee you all19:03
ktheoryany ideas what might be happening?19:03
zykotick9usr13_: i'm not sure of the details, but was reading about it a short time ago (it went over my head)19:03
damselfly9kovu; I don't know. but some of these other fine experts might have some ideas19:03
kovuso what do i ask19:03
antonio__anyone ever install kdenlive from source?19:04
usr13_ryankask: zykotick9 There is no good reason to have a swap partition smaller than your RAM.19:04
damselfly9just state your problem again, with the extra info that it's a parallel printer on a usb-parallel convertor19:04
usr13_ryankask: How big is your HD?19:04
kovuanyone know how i can make a parallel printer id itself as a usb printer19:04
auronandace!checkinstall | antonio__19:04
ubottuantonio__: 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!19:04
SolarisBoymy system doesn't use swap19:04
scristophermost likely not kovu19:04
usr13_zykotick9: The author's logic is flawed.19:05
bekksSolarisBoy: Which is a very good thing so far. :)19:05
SolarisBoy;>19:05
ryankaskwhy do I need so much swap?19:05
SolarisBoycause they say you do.. other than that not sure19:05
usr13_ryankask: How big is your HD?19:05
damselfly9kovu; I do know one solution, but it involves spending money19:05
ryankaskusr13_: 128gb19:05
scristophertwo different interfaces and irq is not gonna be happy, lpt will act as a com port in some cases as well so its not feasible unfortunately19:05
bekksryankask: For suspend2disk, you need as much swap as your RAM.19:06
usr13_128G and you are worried about 6G?19:06
kovui want to make a bj-10sx printer work on ubuntu 12.10 but it only detects my parallel to usb converter not my printer19:06
usr13_ryankask: Good advise:  Make your swap 8G.19:06
ryankaskusr13_: not worried about it. I'm trying to understand19:06
kovuany ideas how i can change that19:06
usr13_ryankask: Again, there is no good reason to create a swap partition that is smaller than your RAM.19:07
kovuok damselfly what soloution is that19:07
cultavixguys, I've been looking to replace my GUI for months now and after trying KDE, GNOME3 (F17), MATE, Cinnamon... I've got to say, Unity is MUUCH better than what it used to be! I actually stopped using Ubuntu because of Unity, but hell.... welcome me back!19:07

texlascristopher, Thanks !!19:09
xanguatexla: creat a directory in your home named ".themes" and extract the gtk3 themes there; you can select your themes with tools like gnome-tweak-tool (repository) or ubuntu tweak19:10
damselfly9kovu; a mini-ethernet print server like an hp jetdirect or a lantronix, would not be terrible expensive second-hand on ebay, and then your printer would count as a "network printer" and ubuntu would use it19:10
scristopherjordanrain, if its set to share and not sharing then iptables may be blocking shares19:10

yoonesHi. I'd like to report a bug, but I need a hand identifying from which application the problem comes. When I open a terminal full screen, execute "gpg -d file" and click on the terminal window after the message box pops up, I can't do anything but manually reboot. It's like a jail you can't escape.19:12
ryankaskthanks all for you rhelp19:12
zykotick9usr13_: ignoring a) my 2.5gb comment and b) hibernate.  having that much swap on a system with 8GB of physical memory, just seems like a waste of space...19:12
usr13_ryankask: zykotick9 "it's highly recommended that the swap space should be equal to the amount of physical memory (RAM)"19:13
jordanrainscristopher, it works if I right click a folder and enable sharing, but I need it to work on boot.19:13

ubottuLIDH: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode19:19

s0heldyDoes anyone in here have experience running Ubuntu 12.10 on Bochs for Windows?20:31
nimrod10_I"m using ubuntu 12.04, unity 3d. Every now and again when I'm switching from wired to wireless network-manager refuses to work, ie I can interact with the network manager icon but I can't select any of the wireless networks. It works if I use the command line tool nmcli. Any of you know how to fix this ?20:31
bekkss0heldy: Why? :)20:32
damselfly9dcope; it's like cordless keyboards, you have an ir-transmitter at one end and an ir-receiver at your htpc which is plugged into the usb port20:32
s0heldybekks: Well, I work at a Microsoft Store, and recently there has been a workaround for the Surface wherein I can run certain x86 programs compiled for ARM.20:32
disharmonicshouldn't cups-pdf ask for a save location?20:33
damselfly9dcope; it functins sort of like a tv remote20:33
=== Guest56687 is now known as DaZ
s0heldyOne of which is Bochs, which I can then use to emulate a full x86 machine.20:33
xet7Chriys: Do you have "Options FollowSymLinks" defined there ?20:34
bekkss0heldy: Sounds pretty weird. Why emulating x86 on x86 when being abloe to use vbox or hyper-v?20:34
s0heldybekks: We're working on solutions for average end-users without access to servers or virtualization.20:34
bekkss0heldy: hyper-v is a built-in part of windows 8 as you know ;)20:35
s0heldybekks: right, but the Surface tablet runs Windows RT.20:35
LIDHguys, how do I list all available PS2 Ports?20:36
bekkss0heldy: And on that ARM tablet, you want to run bochs for emulating an x86?20:36
mikehaas763I've read the msdn and googled but I can't find anything that makes sense to me. What is exactly is the point of a ParameterDirection?20:36
damselfly9LIDH; there is usually only two, one for keyboard and one for mouse20:36
s0heldybekks: yes, because that would enable standard desktop programs to run on it.20:37
bekkss0heldy: Wouldnt it be easier to run an ARM-enabled distro?20:38
kovucan someone help me install a bj-10sx printer on my ubuntu netbook12.1020:38
s0heldybekks: wouldn't that defy the point? I'm emulating in an effort to escape the restrictions of an ARM-based processor.20:39
bekkss0heldy: by paying the price of emulation.20:39
LIDHyes, i know, but this system has a PS2(Keyboard) and another one PS2(Internal for touchscreen)20:39
bekkss0heldy: which slows down an ARM cpu even more.20:39
LIDHand i would like to know if the internal is being detected20:39
PhonequerCan .deb be easily created from autoconf package?20:40
damselfly9LIDH; do you have a ps/2 mouse?20:40
LIDHnopw20:40
LIDHnope20:40
LIDHit's USB20:41
LIDHand the system only has 1 External PS2 for Keyboard20:41
LIDHthe other one is Internal20:41
damselfly9LIDH; then see if it detects a ps/2 mouse, if it does, that will be your touchscreen20:41
LIDHfor the touch controller20:41
s0heldybekks: I realize that, but from a retail standpoint, having an ARM-based tablet configurable to run desktop software would be a phenomenal selling point. Most people won't mind it bogging down the system, so long as the end result is achieved as desired.20:41
LIDHit doesn't20:41
LIDHthat's the problem20:41
LIDHxinput list doesn't list anything besides a virtual pointer and the mouse itself20:42
bekkss0heldy: So whats the ubuntu related question then at that point? :)20:42
LIDHmy head is about to blow up. tried so many things..20:42
damselfly9LIDH; maybe the touchscreen counts as part of your keyboard, sending special characters and such?20:43

LIDHwell..how do i test if it is part of the keyboard?20:44
LIDHif i click on the screen i get no response20:44
LIDHtouch+20:44
damselfly9LIDH; I suppose you could open a console window and touch parts of the screen to see if they are echoed back as characters20:44
LIDHnope, they aren't20:44

LIDHeven used the screen command, but it doesn't work for PS2 or i dont know how to identify it20:45

bregmaLIDH, does it have a separate PS/2 connector from the screen overlay?20:52
LIDHnope20:52
LIDHonly a dedicated to the screen20:53
damselfly9LIDH; the driver should be included and loadable by xorg, you only need to specify in your xorg.conf20:53
=== fox__ is now known as TheFox1993
LIDHproblem is, i dont have any xorg.conf20:53
bregmaLIDH, how do you know it's a PS/2 device and not some kind of serial or USB device?20:54
damselfly9LIDH; those can be made automatically20:54

LIDHhow do i create a xorg.conf20:55
LIDH?20:55
bregmaLIDH, PS/2 requires specialized drivers in the kernel (like the mouse and keyboard have), you may be out of luck20:55
bregmaLIDH, these days you generally don;t need an xorg.conf, you're better off without one20:56
damselfly9LIDH; http://www.ehow.com/how_8521031_create-xorgconf-ubuntu.html20:56
bregmaunless you're using the nVidia binary blob driver, which does not play nicely20:56
damselfly9it appears that touchscreens don't autodetect without an xorg.conf20:57
LIDHhum..i need to get this delivered by tomorrow 11:3020:57
bregmathey detect just fine if the follow the standard protocols and have a kernel driver20:57

evonCan anyone suggest a great virtualization program (paid or free).  I'm presently running winxp with photoshop running inside it and I'm looking to get more performance out of it.  I'm curious to see if better virtualziation software would help20:58
bregmathe xorg confi to handle them is in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d20:58
Joshunhi20:59
bregmathere's an industry-standard protocol for touch devices established by Microsoft, and there is a kernel driver that handles it by default....  if there's a touch device that does something unusual and the manufacturer does not follow standard protocol, you may be on your own20:59
Joshunanyone else having problems with separate /home partition unmounting uncleanly upon shotdown?21:00

damselfly9LIDH; so you just addthat driver to your xorg.conf21:01
LIDHand where is the xorg.conf21:01
damselfly9you have to generate it, I posted a link a few minutes ago21:01

LIDH"fatal server error: server is already active for display 021:02
LIDHyes, i'm a lucky guy ;)21:02
damselfly9knowing the name of your driver is egalax is a start21:02
LIDHok. what i know: it's egalax driver, it's PS/2 and doesn't work21:03
userubuntuhi I am a new ubuntu user, not sure if it is ok to ask for help here21:03
damselfly9LIDH; the driver probably isn't being loaded by xorg21:03
LIDHpossibly21:03
LIDHbut it's weird, because in windows, without driver it acts like a mouse, if i drag the screen the arrow moves like a touchpad21:04
bregmaWindows has drivers21:04

jrtappersHow can I get SSH to not ask me for a password on a remote machine?22:10
escottjrtappers, ssh-keygen; ssh-copy-id username@server;22:11
TheLordOfTimejrtappers, use ssh key auth instead22:11
TheLordOfTimeas escott just suggested22:11
jrtappersescott, is there a way to disable authentication, the ssh server will only be accessable from within another ssh tunnel, so its secure22:12
escottjrtappers, rhosts22:13

waveformToday I replaced a 2TB WD Caviar Green with a 3TB WD Caviar Green (both were formatted NTFS due to prior windows use)22:36
waveformI went ahead and kept the ntfs formatting just because there are files on the drive etc22:36
waveformanyway, I am attempting to transfer files to the new 3TB both via the network (SCP,SMB) and by hooking up the old 2TB via USB22:37
waveformodd thing is.... the system keeps freezing completely22:37
