[00:03] <cheeky> hello....i got help on a problem here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/comp.lang.python/-R6JfEBhXw0
[00:04] <cheeky> the person who helped me boiled my problem down to me not having the python header files to compile the C code for pycrypto
[00:04] <cheeky> specifically: Here comes your problem: you do not have the Python header files,
[00:04] <cheeky> required to compile the C code used by pycrypto (for speed in certain
[00:04] <cheeky> operations, because they are quite resource-intensive).  Where can you
[00:04] <cheeky> get them?  I don’t know, ask your distro.  They are usually in a
[00:04] <cheeky> package ending with -dev or -devel (depending on your distro; human
[00:05] <cheeky> distros do not bother with this and ship them along with the rest of
[00:05] <FloodBot1> cheeky: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:05] <cheeky> the thing…)
[00:06] <histo> cheeky: have you searched the software center?
[00:06] <Savage_CL> How do i run things at login with 12.10?
[00:06] <histo> !info pycryptopp | cheeky
[00:07] <cheeky> not sure what to search for tbh
[00:07] <histo> !info python-pycryptopp | cheeky
[00:07] <Tex_Nick> Savage_CL:  Startup Applications
[00:07] <cheeky> histo: very nice...thank you
[00:07] <histo> cheeky: I would start searching for pycrypto   wouldn't you
[00:07] <Savage_CL> well yes, but where is it, Tex_Nick ?
[00:07] <kaiblocks> oh man. I tried the command sudo fuser -cuk /var/cache/apt/archives/lock and my system froze.
[00:07] <Tex_Nick> Savage_CL: what distro
[00:07] <paoloumali> i have git installed and am trying to use bitbucket through ssh. I can easily add the public key on bitbucket admin page, but I don't get the point of a particular step(step 4) https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Set+up+SSH+for+Git. maybe someone can shed light
[00:08] <Tex_Nick> Savage_CL:  if you're using unity ... in dash home type "Startup"
[00:08] <cheeky> histo: yes...that would have saved me installing xchat just to ask that question :)
[00:09] <tripelb> stuck in an instal. iso 9660 mi rosoft joliet level 3 loop... now changed in easyboz. ub 1:1.16.1-1 ... restarted install. now 12.04 is in cd
[00:09] <histo> Savage_CL: in your dash start tying "startup"  it will come up I can't remember the name of the specific application it calls
[00:10] <_helios_> histo: it's just called Startup Applications
[00:10] <tripelb> dont kbow any way ro shutdown
[00:10] <sfdve1213> If I want Ubuntu One gui on Linux Mint, can I follow the instructions here:  https://one.ubuntu.com/help/faq/how-do-i-completely-remove-and-reinstall-ubuntu-one/
[00:10] <_helios_> tripelb: type shutdown now
[00:10] <sfdve1213> ?
[00:11] <histo> _helios_: No the name of the executible
[00:11] <TheFizzMeister> Hello. I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my desktop last night, and its acting weird with regards to the wireless adapter.
[00:11] <Savage_CL> Ah, thank you.
[00:11] <histo> !details | TheFizzMeister
[00:11] <TheFizzMeister> Specifically, it's seeing that my wireless network (and the ones around me) are available, and I'm putting in the correct password, I'm sure.
[00:12] <tripelb> wow exit made lernel panic. lots of lines. switching back to text.console. then no prompt
[00:12] <TheFizzMeister> But it repeatedly fails to connect. Specifically, I get the 'Disconnected from [my wireless network]' message repeatedly.
[00:12] <TheFizzMeister> I'm using a LinkSys Wireless-G USB adapter.
[00:13] <histo> TheFizzMeister: what chipset is on the adapter?
[00:13] <TheFizzMeister> And I assume that it's not necessarily a driver issue because it actually detects the wireless network, but it just fails to either connect or to sustain a connection.
[00:13] <kaiblocks> Wow! Great news, I think I got this fixed
[00:13] <histo> TheFizzMeister: it still could be a driver issue
[00:13] <padhu> Ubuntians, I need an driver for EPSON FX 2175 printer on ubuntu 12.04
[00:13] <tripelb> hard shutdown. can only diacuss now
[00:14] <_helios_> TheFizzMeister: I have a LinkSysWireless-G USB adapter and I could never get it to work instead I spent 13 bucks on a Belkin Wireless G Adapter and have had no problems with it.
[00:14] <TheFizzMeister> ohir, damn it. I just looked up what the chipset was to get it working on Windows 7 (I'm dual-booting) and closed it. Lemme find it again.
[00:14] <newbie_to_ubuntu> i need to know where to go to get help with a gcc problem
[00:15] <_helios_> newbie_to_ubuntu: try #gcc
[00:15] <histo> TheFizzMeister: lspci  or lsusb will show you
[00:16] <newbie_to_ubuntu> thanks helios
[00:16] <_helios_> newbie_to_ubuntu: np
[00:16] <TheFizzMeister> LinkSys WUSB54G v4 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2500USB]
[00:16] <TheFizzMeister> The last part is what you need, I think?
[00:17] <TheFizzMeister> I did try a few things Google suggested, but they didn't seem to help.
[00:17] <newbie_to_ubuntu> not much activity in that room
[00:18] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: So, what did google suggest?
[00:18] <histo> TheFizzMeister: it's a ralink chipset
[00:18] <_helios_> TheFizzMeister: you have a different one than I had, mine was WUSB54GSC v2 and it sucked never got it working.
[00:18] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: What does ifconfig say about it?
[00:18] <histo> Savage_CL: Also you can place .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart/
[00:18] <TheFizzMeister> usr13: Didn't say a whole let, hence me coming here.
[00:19] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Sorry, what does iwconfig say about it.  (typo)
[00:19] <TheFizzMeister> usr13: Just a few minor things, like changing some config stuff.
[00:19] <_helios_> newbie_to_ubuntu: you can try to ask your question here in detail and if someone know's the answer to the problem you are having I'm sure they will help
[00:19] <TheFizzMeister> usr13: What specifically from iwconfig do you need?
[00:19] <histo> TheFizzMeister: Have you tried connecting to an open network? For instance create one with your smartphone if you have one and then try to connect to that.
[00:19] <TheFizzMeister> eth0 and lo say 'no wireless extensions'.
[00:20] <TheFizzMeister> histo: Yes, I did. Changed my router to open temporarily and it didn't work either.
[00:20] <histo> TheFizzMeister: No a different network
[00:20] <newbie_to_ubuntu> basically, the way ld and linking works changed between Ubuntu 10 and 12.  The linker used to allow indirect references.  Say an executable needs lib A and lib A references lib B.  Old behavior is you just had to link lib A.  Now, in Ubuntu 12.04 you need to link lib A and lib B explicitly.
[00:21] <histo> TheFizzMeister: not one on your router
[00:21] <_helios_> TheFizzMeister: My advice to you from the luck I've had trying to use ndiswrapper is to just purchase a wifi adapter that is compatible with Linux.
[00:21] <newbie_to_ubuntu> I'm looking for a way to find-out how to get the "old linker" behavior back
[00:21] <TheFizzMeister> histo: Ah. I don't have the means to do that unfortunately.
[00:22] <Savage_CL> Alright, so I have a cli php script that I run at login, but it requires user input. how can  I open xterm or something similar and have it close when the script finishes?
[00:22] <histo> _helios_: his card should work in linux
[00:22] <TheFizzMeister> _helios_: I had a feeling that could be the answer. I'm pretty broke right now, so I'll have to find a stop-gap solution in the meantime.
[00:22] <histo> TheFizzMeister: you card should be working. I recomend connecting via iwconfig to see any relevant errors.
[00:23] <TheFizzMeister> I have iwconfig up now, as usr13 suggested.
[00:23] <k1l> newbie_to_ubuntu: old linker?
[00:23] <TheFizzMeister> eth0 and lo say 'no wireless extensions'. wlan0 has some more information.
[00:23] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: ndiswrapper works but I'm just not convinced that particular device needs it.
[00:23] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: So what does it say about wlan0?
[00:24] <Savage_CL> Anybody?
[00:24] <TheFizzMeister> I'm on my laptop as I write this, so let me write it out.
[00:24] <nikolam> anyone has an idea, how to burn (x)ubuntu live .ISO file to USB drive, to install. Platform is Solaris, where I downloaded .ISO file :)
[00:24] <TheFizzMeister> 'IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any'
[00:24] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Is there a switch?
[00:24] <TheFizzMeister> 'Mode:MAnaged Access Point: Not-Associated TX-Power=20 dBm'
[00:24] <TheFizzMeister> A switch on what? The card?
[00:24] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: It's a laptop, right?  Is there a toggle switch somewhere on the laptop that toggles the WiFi on/off?
[00:25] <TheFizzMeister> nou, the problem is on my desktop.
[00:25] <histo> TheFizzMeister: rfkill will tell you if it's off
[00:25] <TheFizzMeister> *No
[00:25] <TheFizzMeister> I'm just on my laptop right now because it will connect to the internet.
[00:26] <zykotick9> nikolam: as root, cat the iso to the root of the usb device (ie. no partition specified)
[00:26] <newbie_to_ubuntu> k1l old linker would be the linker in Ubuntu 10.X
[00:26] <TheFizzMeister> rfkill list gives me: "1: phy1: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no"
[00:27] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: If you see wlan0 in the output of iwconfig, that pretty much means the WiFi device is working.
[00:27] <TheFizzMeister> Hrm.
[00:27] <usr13> TheFizzMeister> 'IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any'  means it's turned off.
[00:28] <nikolam> will try it, zykotick9 ;)
[00:28] <TheFizzMeister> I had disabled it for the time being when I did iwconfig the first time.
[00:29] <TheFizzMeister> I have it trying to connect again, and this is the information
[00:29] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: But, to test, you can assign an essid for it,  iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys
[00:29] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: iwconfig wlan0   #See if it shows the essid "linksys"
[00:30] <TheFizzMeister> SET failed on derive wlan0 ; operation not permitted.
[00:30] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: sudo
[00:30] <TheFizzMeister> o
[00:30] <TheFizzMeister> Durr.
[00:32] <TheFizzMeister> Alright, the information for wlan0 now is:
[00:33] <TheFizzMeister> "IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"[my wireless network]"
[00:33] <TheFizzMeister> "ModE:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:E0:98:FA:35:FE"
[00:33] <TheFizzMeister> "Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm"
[00:33] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: iwconfig wlan0 key "my-wifi-passwd"
[00:33] <TheFizzMeister> Okay.
[00:33] <TheFizzMeister> One moment.
[00:33] <usr13> sudo
[00:35] <TheFizzMeister> It's giving me invalid argument for the password. Is it supposed to have quotes around it?
[00:35] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Only if it has characters that need them.
[00:35] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Probably not.
[00:37] <TheFizzMeister> YeahRight, still giving me invalid argument.
[00:37] <TheFizzMeister> *Right
[00:38] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: After what command? ____________________?
[00:38] <TheFizzMeister> key
[00:38] <usr13> sudo iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxx
[00:39] <TheFizzMeister> invalid argument "xxxxxx"
[00:39] <kaiblocks> thanks folks for yer help
[00:40] <TheFizzMeister> It seems like it, nevertheless, is attempting to connect after the invalid argument error, though.
[00:41] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: After what command?
[00:41] <TheFizzMeister> The iwconfig command you had me send through (or the ones with what should be the correct password).
[00:42] <TheFizzMeister> sudo iwconfig wlan0 key foo
[00:43] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: If that is the command you gave, it should work.  Only thing I can figure is that you misstyped. Try again, is all I can think of.
[00:43] <canaima> hola
[00:44] <canaima> ey you
[00:44] <canaima> hola panas
[00:44] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Try with quotes. sudo iwconfig wlan0 key "foo"
[00:45] <canaima> no joda
[00:45] <grevy> Hi
[00:46] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: (Shouldn't need the quotes unless there are special characters or spaces in the passphrase.)
[00:46] <TheFizzMeister> Still not going through.
[00:46] <TheFizzMeister> And no, there aren't. All alphanumeric.
[00:46] <sw2band> .
[00:46] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: I don't know.  Try the network manager?
[00:46] <TheFizzMeister> The full error is: "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : invalid argument "mypass""
[00:48] <bravis> waz up
[00:48] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Turn encryption off and try to connect.
[00:49] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: sudo iwconfig wlan0 linksys;dhclient wlan0
[00:49] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: sudo iwconfig wlan0 linksys;sudo dhclient wlan0
[00:49] <TheFizzMeister> Should that be essid linksys?
[00:49] <PhysicsBrain_> Greetings!Look that guys: Later i have installed a new driver in my ubuntu by ppa, do not start in Ubuntu environment, only in CD Cairo Dock. I will have to remove the newest graphic driver?
[00:50] <histo> PhysicsBrain_: what?
[00:50] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Yes, (if linksys is really the essid of your AP).
[00:50] <histo> !english | PhysicsBrain_
[00:51] <Coded1> PhysicsBrain_: which ppa is it?
[00:51] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[00:51] <canaima> hola
[00:52] <canaima> hola que tal
[00:52] <usr13> !es | canaima
[00:52] <TheFizzMeister> usr13: Alright, I did that and it looks like it's reporting my wireless network.
[00:53] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: So connect to it.
[00:53] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys;sudo iwconfig wlan0 key xXxXxXx;sudo dhclient wlan0
[00:54] <histo> !
[00:54] <usr13> (where linksys is the essid of your AP)
[00:55] <TheFizzMeister> I'm still getting the 'invalid argument' problem when I try sudo iwconfig wlan0 key my-key.
[00:55] <histo> usr13: keep in mind if it's wpa he can't use key xxxxx
[00:55] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: If you turn off encryption, you can do away with the key part....
[00:55] <TheFizzMeister> ohir, shit.
[00:55] <histo> usr13: that would only work for wep based encryption
[00:55] <TheFizzMeister> ... why does 'ohir' keep showing up when I say 'Oh'.
[00:55] <usr13> TheFizzMeister:  What kind of encryption are you using?
[00:55] <TheFizzMeister> Must have an accidental replace on XChat or something.
[00:56] <TheFizzMeister> WPA. Let me disable that.
[00:56] <histo> TheFizzMeister: becuase you are hitting tab and autocompleting ohir's name
[00:56] <NullDev> its a bot fizz
[00:56] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: see man iwconfig
[00:57] <TheFizzMeister> Sorry, let me disable encryption.
[00:57] <usr13> TheFizzMeister: Everything I've been telling you is hypothetical, (because I do not know anything specific about your network).
[00:57] <PhysicsBrain_> Code1: "ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers". my Ubuntu only start with Cairo Dock now!
[00:58] <Tex_Nick> TheFizzMeister:  about the ... Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) ... this has some usefull info ... http://superuser.com/questions/42460/can-you-explain-how-to-understand-what-the-iwconfig-command-displays-in-ubuntu ... usr13 has you going in the right direction though ... follow along
[00:59] <NullDev> physicsbrain as youve used a 3rd party repo maybe youve been kitted
[01:00] <grishma> yo
[01:03] <esph> Any opinions on using bcache vs. just putting / on my small SSD?
[01:04] <bencc> I'm trying to build this from source http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-sandbox.git;a=summary
[01:04] <bencc> ./configure gives me ./configure: No such file or directory
[01:04] <bencc> what can I do to build and install it?
[01:05] <NullDev> bencc are you in the extracted archive directory?
[01:05] <dns53> bencc you probably need to run autoconf or something to generate a ./configure script
[01:05] <Sna4x8> Is configure there? (ls)  Is it executable?
[01:05] <Tex_Nick> TheFizzMeister : i'm using WUSB54G v2 & v4 dongles on linux ... they've always just worked for me though without problems ... you guys should be able to connect to it
[01:05] <bencc> dns53: how do I run autoconf?
[01:06] <bencc> I have autogen.sh and autobuild.sh there
[01:06] <NullDev> bencc whats your cwd
[01:06] <bencc> NullDev:  I'm inside the repo dir
[01:07] <dns53> bencc so autoconf is another tool (i think it is included by build-essential) that you run first, then you can do autoconf, ./configure, make, make install
[01:07] <NullDev> bencc the repo dir?
[01:07] <usr13> bencc: sudo apt-get install get
[01:07] <Aghwhyme> How do I make it less purple?
[01:07] <kazoo> how can I change Ubuntu to get the old style of Gnome running
[01:07] <kazoo> Gnome w/o the dashboard
[01:07] <bencc> dns53: so I should run first: ./autogen.sh ?
[01:07] <bencc> dns53: or autoconf?
[01:08] <usr13> kazoo: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
[01:08] <kazoo> 12.10
[01:08] <dns53> bencc see what happens, i think autogen.sh should call autoconf but there is no reason not to try everything until it works
[01:08] <dandaman> escott: hey you around?
[01:08] <gh0stz> I have a ubuntu 12.04 box at work and am using a macbook air at home.  I can connect in via vpn and and ssh into my machine.  However I need a remote desktop or vnc session for a small talk
[01:09] <bradlee> ubuntu
[01:09] <gh0stz> what is the easiest way to do this
[01:09] <kazoo> usr13: Ubuntu 12.10
[01:09] <m__> hey guys, i got a tricky problem
[01:09] <usr13> kazoo: Try xfce. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[01:09] <gh0stz> I just installed tightvnc server on the ubuntu box
[01:09] <m__> i got an ide usb case for hdds
[01:09] <riegersn_> is it possible to get two-finger click to perform right click?
[01:09] <usr13> gh0stz: x11vnc
[01:10] <gh0stz> ok, so just install x11vnc instead?
[01:10] <usr13> yes
[01:10] <NullDev> mate is good if you like gnome classic although I havent used it the classic mode in gnome3 sounds good
[01:10] <kazoo> usr13: There's no way for me to remove dashboard and use the original Gnome
[01:10] <gh0stz> ok I'll give that a shit
[01:11] <k1l> !notunity | kazoo
[01:11] <m__> I got and HDD case IDE to USB - but ubuntu wont find the device
[01:11] <m__> and idear how i can see
[01:11] <usr13> kazoo: There probably is a way to get close to the old Gnome2 but I dono.  Better off to just use xfce or lxde
[01:11] <roy__494> im sorry to interrupt ... im new here and i need help with something ... someone can help me ??
[01:12] <usr13> kazoo: I use xfce and am very happy with it.  thunar is nice, it's a good DE that stays out of your way and lends itself to efficent/productive system.
[01:12] <NullDev> kazoo you can always compile and fight dependency hell and install from source
[01:12] <dandaman> hey all, im moving all my stuff from my old hd(which has ubuntu installed on it) to my new ssd drive. I was told to choose these mount options since its an ssd, noatime, no diratime,discard. Are these options supposed to be specified in the fstab file?
[01:12] <roy__494> the last patch on ubunto 12.10 totally messed up my laptop
[01:13] <NullDev> kazoo gnome2 that is
[01:13] <hilo> hello
[01:13] <usr13> kazoo: If I were you, I'd install xfce and lxde and see which one you like best.
[01:13] <folorn> could anyone tell me how to move a whole folder to a new destination i forget again?
[01:13] <NullDev> kazoo mate pretty much replicates gnome classic
[01:14] <folorn> i know the command just not the syntax
[01:14] <NullDev> folorn mv
[01:14] <pztrick> mv -R source target ?
[01:14] <usr13> folorn: cp -a Documents/ /mnt/point/
[01:14] <usr13> folorn: mv Documents/ /mnt/point/
[01:15] <kazoo> usr13: I usually don't use lite desktop environments unless I'm running OpenBSD and OpenBOX it's either gnome or terminal systems
[01:15] <folorn> oops thanks guys :)
[01:15] <m__> could some help me ?
[01:15] <NullDev> folorn mv -v /source /dest
[01:15] <hilo> I've come here asking about this before but I've had very little luck. I use X11VNC for remote desktop, as well as remote assistance. The catch is, when ssh in and start the X11VNC app, there is no notification of any kind. I can see and control (if I want) user's screens and they will have no idea. How can I get a notification to popup on there screen when I start the server so my users can feel safe that I am not spying without their know
[01:15] <hilo> ledge?
[01:15] <kazoo> Does Gnome 3 take up more ram then Gnome 2?
[01:16] <k1l> kazoo: slightly?
[01:17] <usr13> kazoo: Why don't you use "lite desktop environments unless I'm running OpenBSD and OpenBOX it's either gnome or terminal systems"?
[01:17] <jacksmithz> what are some of the better supported laptop video cards for 3d hardware acceleration (3d modelling, and gaming), for linux?
[01:17] <kazoo> Does Ubuntu support OpenBox
[01:18] <sazzert> It has it in the repo...
[01:18] <k1l> !lubuntu | kazoo
[01:18] <m__> could nobody help me to find my hdd ?
[01:18] <usr13> kazoo: Yes
[01:18] <k1l> besides the ability to run openbox on its own
 in what way one thats not mounted?
[01:19] <sazzert> I like openbox on it's own more than with lxde. Just put xfce4-panel and synapse and you are good :)
[01:19] <usr13> kazoo: sudo apt-get install openbox
[01:19] <m__> NullDev: could u explain to me what u mean ?
[01:20] <NullDev> kazoo if you like old skool Gnome try Mate if you havent already
[01:20] <m__> its just a usal external hdd case
[01:20] <pztrick> m__: does lsblk show it?
[01:20] <kazoo> Mate never heard of it
[01:20] <sazzert> Linux Mint with Mate would probably be better than installing it through ubuntu
 you want to find your HD you dont mean where you lost it ?
[01:20] <Tex_Nick> !best | jacksmithz
[01:21] <usr13> kazoo: Are you 12.04?  If so, see:  http://www.unixmen.com/install-mate-1-4-in-ubuntu-12-04-linuxmint13-and-debian/
[01:21] <kazoo> Hm last time I tried LinuxMint it was buggy as hell
[01:21] <jacksmithz> i dindt ask for the best
[01:21] <kazoo> but that was when it first came out
[01:21] <wjtaylor_> any way to stop the screen from locking out while watching you tube?
[01:21] <Tex_Nick> jacksmithz:  have a look at ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards
[01:21] <jacksmithz> thanks
[01:21] <usr13> kazoo: I recommend sticking with ubuntu.  (I use xubuntu)
[01:21] <NullDev> kazoo Mate is a fork of Gnome 2
[01:21] <m__> NullDev: jeah, thats ritgh i try to connet it via usb
[01:21] <k1l> well, mint or mate are not supported here. that goes into the mint support please.
[01:22] <m__> but doesnt find it
[01:22] <k1l> kazoo: what about the gnome-fallback solution or the lxde/xfce for ubuntu?
[01:22] <esph> Anybody know how big I can reasonably expect /var to get on a domestic laptop?
[01:22] <wjtaylor_> kazoo: just install gnome-shell and use gnome classic.   I'm using it now and it's good.
[01:22] <m__> its connected vias usb and i need a way to find how dies it is connected
 it should auto mount on plugin but sudo fdisk -l will show you all devices that are connected
[01:23] <kazoo> I'll try out mate first
[01:23] <NullDev> wjtaylor Ive heard good stuff about the gnome classic on gnome 3 you got any screen shots?
[01:24] <wjtaylor_> NullDev: no, It looks like gnome 2
[01:24] <usr13> esph: Maybe 400M or so
[01:24] <NullDev> wjtaylor sounds good!
[01:24] <m__> NullDev: its not connected / he cant fin it
[01:25] <esph> usr13: really? On arch mine get to be about 10GB sometimes.
[01:25] <wjtaylor_> BTW: if you want the xchat to minimize to the panel in gnome in 12.04 you have to add a "Notification Area" to the panel and then it's good.
 what , that isnt fdisk output?
[01:25] <m__> there is for my usal internal hdd
[01:25] <usr13> esph: Example:   341M /var
[01:25] <wjtaylor_> NullDev: I have unity installed because it's got a touch screen and I MAY use it... but for real work gnome is good.
 sudo fdisk -l | grep /dev
[01:26] <k1l> kazoo: i wouldnt go with a desktop that relies on an old codebase. same for the kde3 fork trinity. that future is limited.
[01:27] <NullDev> wjtaylor personally I hate how our desktops are being tailored for computer illiterates
[01:27] <sankey> i have a box running 12.04 (stock kernel 3.2), and it uses a wifi kernel module currently only included in the 3.6 kernel.
[01:27] <sankey> is there a chance that ubutnu 12.04 will ever include this wifi module in the stock kernel before the release of ubuntu 14.04?
[01:27] <sankey> in particular, this is my situation: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466
[01:27] <wjtaylor_> kazoo: stay close to the source... to many bastardized versions out there.... just leads to problems.
[01:28] <wjtaylor_> NullDev:   If I wanted a tablet, I'd just go get an ipad.
[01:28] <m__> NullDev iam not sure if it will show more
[01:28] <esph> usr13: Any idea why Ubuntu's /var would be so much smaller than Arch's?
 what?
[01:28] <usr13> esph: Nope
[01:28] <esph> I mean I expected they would be different, but that's very different
[01:28] <anonymous_> slm
[01:29] <anonymous_> türk varmıı
[01:29] <jrib> esph: use du to see what's bigger?
[01:29] <m__> NullDev: postet it via querry
[01:29] <k1l> !tr | anonymous_
[01:29] <wjtaylor_> ACTUALLY, I have a touch screen laptop and wish they'd  just go all the way with a TOTAL touch screen interface like an iphone... It should have a touch keyboard and the whole 9 yards...
[01:29] <usr13> esph: I have a Desktop system that has 548M
 the disk isnt being detected for some reason is it dead? Try re-plugging
[01:30] <wjtaylor_> Anyone know how to stop the screen from locking when youtube, etc is playing???
[01:31] <NullDev> wjtaylor yeah turn your screen saver off ;)
[01:31] <m__> NullDev jeah thats my problem i tryed to reconnect, switch the jumper tryed an other  hdd
 sata/scsi or ide?
[01:31] <m__> ide
 in a usb caddy?
[01:32] <m__> jeah
[01:32] <m__> ;)
[01:32] <usr13> esph: More aggressive/comprehensive logging ?
[01:32] <esph> usr13: could be...
[01:32] <wjtaylor_> I think I just found a solution... caffeine
[01:32] <esph> I think I'll go ask in #archlinux and see if they know
 you using lvm or software raid?
[01:33] <m__> nothink
[01:33] <esph> make sure it isn't just my user habits
[01:33] <m__> its just an usall usb case
 and the drives working?
[01:33] <m__> as far as i know there no driver needed
[01:34] <m__> i even doesnt know the producer of ther case
 not sure then tbh might need drive manufacturer, firmware etc to fix this.
 might be a bug doesent sound normal
 or the drives dead you got any other devices you can attach it to?
[01:36] <m__> i think it could be broken thats i wanna listen if there are any tiny bits on the usb port nonnectot to

[01:36] <m__> thats the case
[01:37] <xibalba> i have a server with 128 gigs of ram, are there any adjustments i need to make?
[01:37] <Blue1> I installed kubuntu 12.04 -- when it boots up, I get the login screen, see another screen with a hard drive, tools etc, then I get a completely black screen with just the mouse cursor.  What did I do wrong?
[01:38] <m__> i think it could be broken thats i wanna listen if there are any tiny bits on the usb port nonnectot to
[01:38] <histo> xibalba: just make sure you are urnning 64bit
[01:38] <NullDev> 128 Gb yeah take them sticks and put them in your PC
[01:38] <xibalba> histo, yes but have some funky stuff in my DMESG
[01:39] <histo> xibalba: like?
[01:39] <xibalba> posting dmesg in a sec
[01:39] <histo> !paste | xibalba
[01:39] <Tex_Nick> xibalba :  i think you have adjusted it to the max already ;-)
[01:39] <xibalba> apparently mail isn't installed
[01:39] <NullDev> xibalba man syslog
[01:39] <xibalba> i know how to use syslog
[01:39] <histo> xibalba: dmesg | pastebinit
[01:39] <xibalba> oh didn't know about that
 hmm not sure tbh drive sounds dead though fdisk doesent see it
[01:40] <m__> could the device be broken ?

[01:41] <histo> m__: What kind of drive is this?  Sorry came in late.
[01:41] <m__> I need an HDD a grabeed this one,as far as i remeber the HDD where broken so i open the case and used a new hdd
[01:41] <m__> in the case
[01:41] <xibalba> histo, notice anything odd ?
[01:41] <m__> or better say i try to
[01:42] <xibalba> or NullDev did you take a look?
 you broke into a usb caddy?

[01:42] <NullDev> xibalba not had a look just verbal
[01:43] <xibalba> NullDev, check this http://lethalnetworks.com/~reza/foo
[01:43] <m__> the hdd insade the case i broken
[01:43] <histo> m__: What is your native language?
 have you "opened a usb caddy" and inserted a disk?
[01:43] <m__> german
[01:43] <xibalba> histo, 1st posts says to go 64bit, i am
[01:43] <m__> NullDev: yes
[01:44] <m__> histo: german
[01:44] <xibalba> oh
[01:44] <xibalba> i dont have enough CPU for the RMA
[01:44] <xibalba> RAM*
[01:44] <kimsia> hi there
 Looks like you broke the caddy then, do you have any others (not manufactured to inseret the disk to?
[01:44] <histo> xibalba: if you continue reading about the mtrr stuff seems to have fixed his issue.
[01:44] <kimsia> i have an issue with installing a php_perl module in ubuntu server 12.10. I got this error make: *** [php_perl.lo] Error 1 ERROR: `make' failed
[01:45] <xibalba> i only had 4 CPU assigned to this box
[01:45] <m__> I though the old hdd that where inside wherer broken thats why i open the case and inserted a new one
[01:45] <histo> xibalba: What kind of server is this running on that you assigned 128G of ram?
[01:45] <m__> so yes i already have an other hdd
[01:45] <xibalba> big ass vmware server with 192+ GB of RMA
[01:45] <histo> xibalba: is there a reason you are assigning 128g to ubuntu?
[01:46] <xibalba> histo, testing
[01:46] <xibalba> for a client who will need it
[01:46] <NullDev> kimsia most likely the dependencies on the repo dont cater for the source. Need more than that error message though usually the last 8 lines of a compile give enough
[01:46] <histo> xibalba: What is a client going to do with it?
[01:46] <escott> xibalba, so those are related to programming the MTRR
[01:46] <histo> xibalba: Im just curious
[01:47] <kimsia> NullDev: http://askubuntu.com/questions/245996/unable-to-install-pecl-extension-for-perl-in-ubuntu-server-12-10 near the bottom of my question i have the entire error message
[01:47] <histo> xibalba: also curious on specs of the server do you have the model/manuafacturer?
[01:48] <NullDev> kimsia Im not familiar with pecl thought you meant ./configure
[01:48] <wjtaylor_> Does anyone have the google talk ppa in their repos?
[01:49] <kimsia> NullDev: i am also not familiar with ./configure too. Where can i run ./configure?
[01:49] <NullDev> kimsia you dont need to your (well I thik) compiling from c
[01:50] <NullDev> not*
[01:50] <kimsia> NullDev: In that case, what should be my next step?
[01:51] <NullDev> kimsia Like I said Im not familiar with pecl so not sure
[01:52] <NullDev> kimsia your running Ubuntu server?
[01:52] <kimsia> NullDev: yes
[01:53] <NullDev> kimsia you logged in via shell. If so whats php -v show?
[01:54] <kimsia> NullDev: PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.1 (cli) (built: Nov 15 2012 01:18:34)  Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies     with Xdebug v2.2.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by Derick Rethans
[01:55] <Num83rGuy> I am having trouble with a 0 sized folder with files in it.
[01:55] <NullDev> kimsia and you want to install the pecl mod?
[01:56] <kimsia> NullDev: the php_perl module yes
[01:56] <\\Mr_C\\> is there a shortcut key to open a terminal in the gdm/gui?
[01:56] <RollinV2> if a non admin user is granted admin rights during their login session, does that user have to relog to gain the admin rights?
[01:57] <NullDev> kimsia I think thats in the repos (unless you need a newer version) whats aptitude search pecl show
[01:57] <kimsia> NullDev: i am sorry what is that command?
[01:58] <Tex_Nick> \\Mr_C\\ :  CTRL+ALT+T
[01:58] <NullDev> kimsia Is this a headless server, how you logged in GUI or SSH?
[01:59] <kimsia> NullDev: it is headless and i logged in via SSH
[01:59] <histo> Num83rGuy: can you describe "trouble"
[01:59] <histo> !details | Num83rGuy
[02:00] <NullDev> kimsia ok type everything in the quotes without the quotes "aptitude search pecl"
[02:00] <kimsia> NullDev: I got a list of results
[02:00] <kimsia> NullDev: how to display?
[02:00] <NullDev> kimsia long?
[02:01] <kimsia> NullDev: very long
[02:01] <Num83rGuy> Kubuntu 12.10.  A folder that I made long ago in my home folder that contains some files is now 0 length and unaccessible when before it was.
[02:01] <NullDev> kimsia we probably want to grep it some , you got alot of lib*-pecl?
[02:02] <histo> Num83rGuy: open a termianl and run ls -l | pastebinit
[02:02] <kimsia> NullDev: you mean lib*-perl?
[02:02] <Num83rGuy> All file managers and command line cannot access not even root
[02:02] <kimsia> NullDev: not lib*-pecl
[02:02] <NullDev> kimsia any lib- basically
[02:02] <kimsia> NullDev: plenty of lib-
[02:02] <Tex_Nick> Num83rGuy :  have you tried to copy the files to a new directory ?
[02:02] <kimsia> NullDev: and plenty of lib*-perl
[02:03] <kimsia> NullDev: Don't see any lib*-pecl
[02:03] <NullDev> kimsia ok "aptitude search pecl | grep -v lib-" should narrow it down abit
[02:03] <histo> Num83rGuy: what are the permisions for the directory and attributes  you can find out with ls -l   /path/to/directory
[02:03] <Num83rGuy> histo: will do hold on need to install pastbinit  Tex_Nick: they are unaccessible
[02:04] <NullDev> histo you can find them all out
[02:04] <kimsia> NullDev: nothing happens
[02:05] <chadster1975> I've been running Ubuntu/backtrack dual boot on a PC i built in 2006. Ready to go mobile. Any advice on a decent laptop I should be looking for?
[02:06] <NullDev> kimsia its not installed then or in the repos Im not sure Im a RH/CentOS admin I only use Debian/Ubuntu as desktops
[02:06] <Num83rGuy> histo: http://pastebin.com/B7c3RiBy
[02:06] <Guest7336> exot
[02:06] <Guest7336> exit
[02:06] <kimsia> NullDev: thank you for your help. Is there any thing else i can do?
[02:07] <histo> Num83rGuy: is the Icons folder the one that has issues?
[02:07] <kunji> NullDev: aptitude isn't really recommended right now, I know it's not related to the command you told him to run, but I think we should be encouraging use of apt-get instead because of some issues with aptitude and a lack of multi-arch support, something like that.
[02:07] <fbdystang> Hey all, ubuntu not finding my internet connection out. But it works coming in. I am behind a router with ethernet. Please advise. Thanks!
[02:08] <NullDev> kimsia pastebin the last 50 lines off /var/log/messages maybe but you could try the ubuntu server channel think its ubuntu-server
[02:08] <histo> Num83rGuy: ls -l /home/paul/Pictures   and paste the Icons line in here
[02:08] <Num83rGuy> histo: Yes it has some icons I made for various things
[02:08] <histo> Num83rGuy: if it's l9onger than 4 lines pastebinit
[02:08] <kimsia> NullDev: thank you. I would go to ubuntu-server then
[02:08] <Num83rGuy> histo: OK
[02:09] <NullDev> kimsia good luck
[02:09] <kunji> kimsia: installing pecl is a bitch, you'll need to spend some hours on google looking for the magic code words, I would tell you, but I don't remember them T.T
[02:09] <Num83rGuy> histo: drw-rw-rw- 3 paul paul     36864 Nov 21 20:30 Icons
[02:09] <kimsia> kunji: thankyou. I have now spent days actually
[02:10] <polarbearinc> i need an f6 driver
[02:10] <esph> 8GB of ram: swap or no swap?
[02:10] <kunji> kimsia: Hmm, maybe they made it harder T.T, I last did it on 11.04 I think.
[02:10] <histo> Num83rGuy: chmod a+x /home/paul/Pictures/Icons
[02:11] <histo> Num83rGuy: you changed the permissions of the directory at some point. It is no longer executible that is your problem. That chmod command will make the Icons directory executible again by all
[02:11] <Num83rGuy> histo: Great that worked! Now tell me what that did.
[02:11] <kimsia> kunji: I am frustrated. i now have 4 irc channels opened. so far, no closer to an answer
[02:12] <histo> Num83rGuy: Directories need to be executible to enter them
[02:12] <NullDev> kimsia WHATEVER do not use 3rd party .deb. WE DONT SUFFER FROM VIRUSES. We are succeptable to rootkits trojans and yes viruses (are hierachry prohibits the spread)
[02:12] <histo> kimsia: what are you loooking for?
[02:13] <histo> kimsia: or what are you trying to build?
[02:13] <NullDev> histo php-specl
[02:13] <kunji> histo: He's trying to install the perl module for pecl I think
[02:13] <NullDev> histo php-pecl *
[02:13] <histo> NullDev: his initial issue was install php-perl
[02:13] <Num83rGuy> histo: LOL haven't a clue when that happened but, thanks for the fix and knowledge.  Probably due to some bad sector creep my drive had not too long ago.

[02:16] <histo> NullDev:  kimsia | i have an issue with installing a php_perl module in ubuntu server 12.10. I got this error make: *** [php_perl.lo] Error 1 ERROR: `make' failed
[02:17] <histo> That's what he cam ein here with. how'd we get on pecl???
[02:17] <NullDev> histo that error is useless justsays make failed to compile the source
[02:17] <kunji> histo: Do we know what is installed an working, or is this being treated as a clean install?
[02:17] <kunji> *and
[02:17] <NullDev> histo ah seen the php_perl
[02:18] <histo> kimsia: So again now. What are you trying to build and is there a reason you are building from source instead of installing an official deb?
[02:19] <histo> quinn_: Have you tried a test call? Also this is ubuntu support not Skype support
[02:19] <NullDev> histo php-perl isnt in the ubuntu repos though
[02:19] <kimsia> histo: what you mean by installing official deb?
[02:20] <histo> kimsia: Software that is in the repositories
[02:20] <kunji> histo: I think that might be PECL that builds from source, isn't it?  I think he is trying to do it the way PECL describes.

[02:20] <saloomi2012> help
[02:21] <ClientAlive> I'm having trouble finding instructions to delete an old set of ssh keys on an ubuntu system using open ssh. Can someone help me?
[02:21] <NullDev> kimsia if your compiling add an unprivilaged user and do it under that user!
[02:21] <saloomi2012> how to keep both ubuntu and windows on a desktop?
[02:21] <kimsia> NullDev: i don't understand what you mean by that?
[02:22] <ClientAlive> I see instruction to create new keys but not clear instruction on deleting old keys.
[02:22] <histo> ClientAlive: On the ssh server or the client?
[02:22] <kunji> histo: right, but the versions of those in the repos may be too old, etc... I remember having to do this runaround at an internship I had, I had to duplicate their current working environment so I had to get exact versions of many php modules that were newer than those in the repos, so I had to get pear and pecl and update their repos somehow and then they would finally install, but like I was saying, it required some magic.
[02:23] <histo> kimsia: you are trying to install software from source and then coming into a ubuntu chat room for support.
[02:23] <NullDev> kimsia if your compiling from source it should all go in usr/local so it shouldnt matter
[02:24] <ClientAlive> Well I have two computers to connect on my local netwrok (a desktop and a laptop). Both my old lappy and the desktop were all set up to connect either direction but now this new lappy is not. I want to have both ssh server and client on both machines, delete the old keys on the desktop, then start fresh.
[02:24] <ClientAlive> I can handle making new kesys on my own but don't know how to remove the old keys from the desktop
[02:24] <histo> ClientAlive: well the client keys are in
[02:24] <ClientAlive> I'm looking for a fresh start
[02:24] <histo> ClientAlive: ~/.ssh
[02:25] <ClientAlive> ok
[02:25] <sudarshan> hellow..
[02:25] <ClientAlive> aret there two sets? A set for server and a set for client?
[02:25] <histo> ClientAlive: the server keys are in /etc/ssh
[02:25] <sudarshan> क्या बात है.
[02:25] <ClientAlive> ok
[02:25] <kimsia> NullDev: I think i am getting somewhere... i managed to compile the perl.so successfully
[02:25] <ClientAlive> so I merely rm them?
[02:25] <kimsia> NullDev: you and the #perl people gave me some clues. Thank you.
[02:26] <histo> ClientAlive: You can althought I don't understand why you are.
[02:26] <histo> ClientAlive: You most likely just want to copy your new keys to authorized keys
[02:26] <nuf0xx> ClientAlive: the old keys are in ~/.ssh for the client and /etc/ssh for the server
[02:26] <NullDev> clientalive not the best but > .ssh/known_hosts . Ideally nano +line that ssh warns you about (think its near the bottom somewhere) and delete thatg line
[02:27] <ClientAlive> histo: bc this will be my second time doing somthething like this. I have learned better ways to config the stuff since tha first time plus I want the exper of doing it a second time
[02:27] <ClientAlive> appreciate you help so very much histo
[02:27] <ClientAlive> thx
[02:27] <SnapSnap> Hi. I'm having trouble with the backup utility.
[02:27] <histo> ClientAlive: The better way of learning would be removing the old keys from the authorized_keys file  in the ~/.ssh   and then placing the new ones in htere
[02:27] <NullDev> clivealive if your on an untrusted network never nuke your known_hosts
[02:27] <nuf0xx> if you edit the file and delete the lines it will ask you to accept (yes|no) the next time you connect
[02:28] <histo> ClientAlive: That's all you really have to do I would stay out of /etc/ssh
[02:28] <ClientAlive> ok
[02:28] <ClientAlive> so it's just the stuff in authorized_keys I need to be concerned with?
[02:28] <NullDev> histo why lol
[02:28] <histo> NullDev: that's his issue
[02:29] <NullDev> histo I meant about /etc/ssh
[02:29] <histo> NullDev: Becuase if he deletes the host keys he needs to reconfigure ssh server
[02:29] <NullDev> If your running a Linux server thats the first /etc/sswh/sshd_config
[02:30] <NullDev> histo I think you mean .ssh/ ?
[02:30] <histo> ClientAlive: the host keys in /etc/ssh are generated upon openssh server being installed.  So if you delete those you need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
[02:30] <SnapSnap> Can anyone help me with the backup utility?
[02:30] <histo> NullDev: No He asked about deleting the server and client keys
[02:30] <histo> !details | SnapSnap
[02:31] <NullDev> histo yeah the host key is regenerated but. You cant trust the host key auuth no you need to really "trust" the server
[02:31] <histo> ClientAlive: Also I would recomend transfering the client keys to the host via ssh-copy-id command
[02:31] <histo> NullDev: Yes the fingerprint
[02:32] <histo> ClientAlive: also clear out your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. That will ahve the old fingerprint from the server
[02:32] <NullDev> histo from what I know dsa/rsa doesent do that?
[02:32] <Tex_Nick> !backup | SnapSnap
[02:32] <SnapSnap> histo, I get an error when I try to perform a backup. I'm running Ubuntu version 12.10. When I try to perform a backup, I get this error: "Backup Failed. BackendException: Could not initialize backend: No module named couch.auth"
[02:32] <histo> NullDev: I know as well. He just asked I epxlained why he shouldn't be really concerned with /etc/ssh
[02:33] <NullDev> histo ok lol
[02:33] <ClientAlive> histo: sounds good. I also have a thumd drive here. Perhaps I'll use sneakernet to do the transfer  :)
[02:34] <NullDev> histo And thats why I told him to modify the keys line only (Is better than nuking it , I do that alot)
[02:34] <aimalk510> hi
[02:35] <aimalk510> anyone know of Vulnhub
[02:35] <histo> ClientAlive: why when you can ssh-copy-id unless you disabled password logins
[02:35] <histo> !anyone | aimalk510
[02:35] <kimsia> NullDev: Okay I am left with an issue that is ubuntu related
[02:36] <kimsia> i am getting this error
[02:36] <kimsia> http://pastebin.com/Z32Xy2jr
[02:36] <felix_> compiz doesn't work =(
[02:36] <RollinV2> the point of ssh key is so password login can be disabled
[02:36] <aimalk510> im trying to figure out the john the ripper
[02:36] <kimsia> i tried sudo locale-gen en_SG.UTF-8 en_SG and sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[02:37] <kimsia> then i logged out and back in. didn't work
[02:37] <histo> RollinV2: Not only that reason.
[02:37] <SnapSnap> !backup
[02:37] <histo> aimalk510: good
[02:37] <NullDev> kimsia not sure what local your on but if its noe en- your locales arent set
[02:38] <histo> !locale > kimsia
[02:38] <RollinV2> histo, true key auth is good for many reasons
[02:39] <lolhii> New to unix, what's ubuntu server for? I don't code on it right?
[02:39] <lolhii> It's for setting up a lampstack?
[02:39] <ClientAlive> histo: I thnk I made a mistake man. I knew that ubuntu 12.04 will automatically generate some files if they are missing - so I deleted the files in ~/.ssh (thinking they be regeneratied with the defaults). They didn't. What can I do?
[02:39] <histo> RollinV2: For instance i've used it so cronjobs have access without being prompted for passwd. But I can still leave password authentication enabled.
[02:40] <NullDev> one thing against doing things in bash scripts , you actually forget how to do it
[02:40] <escott> ClientAlive, nothing will ever touch the contents of $HOME. but its just an identity. you can create a new one with ssh-keygen
[02:40] <histo> ClientAlive: Now regenerate your keys and go forward
[02:41] <ClientAlive> thank you fellas
[02:41] <histo> ClientAlive: your known_hosts will be regenerated upon connecting to an ssh server
[02:41] <histo> ClientAlive: You'll be prompted about the fingerprint ofcourse
[02:41] <ClientAlive> so the exact command "ssh-keygen" <enter>  then proceed with creating the new ones?
[02:42] <NullDev> lol I was confused by the fingerprint. I always see that as a warning screen (I never read them do you?)
[02:43] <aimalk510> does anyone run backtrack here?
[02:43] <histo> ClientAlive: I would use rsa keys ssh-keygen -t rsa     enter
[02:43] <histo> ClientAlive: hold up I made a youtube video doing all this I'll get you a link
[02:43] <k1l> !backtrack | aimalk510
[02:43] <Tex_Nick> !backtrack | aimalk510
[02:43] <NullDev> aimalk510 dont run it as a distro as thats not what its made for but have used i
[02:44] <histo> ClientAlive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ0CnfLJHVc
[02:44] <ClientAlive> histo: ahh great. I''m also seeing how it works in the web page i'm looking at. I just hadn't read all the way through it before asking hot to remove keys.
[02:44] <k1l> lolhii: server version comes without a preinstalled desktop
[02:44] <ClientAlive> got it
[02:44] <ClientAlive> thank you
[02:44] <lolhii> k1l, if im supposed to be good in unix for a job, should i be using desktop?
[02:44] <RollinV2> histo, thats an interesting way to evade a password requirement
[02:45] <NullDev> lolhii now its all servers/super computers
[02:45] <histo> RollinV2: well I was using rsync ina  cronjob for off site backup and didn't want ot mess with it any other way
[02:45] <k1l> lolhii: depends on which skills you need for that job.
[02:45] <bel3atar> how do I install ubuntu?
[02:45] <NullDev> no*
[02:45] <k1l> !install | bel3atar
[02:45] <lolhii> k1l, NullDev they said nginx and things
[02:46] <bel3atar> what's the best way to do it k1l ?
[02:46] <NullDev> Ive hear alot about Ngnix never used it and I love Apache
[02:46] <k1l> lolhii: that sounds like servers stuff. but that can be installed on a desktop, too
[02:46] <RollinV2> bel3atar, figure out if you want to dual boot, run ubuntu in a virtual machine, use wabi (oh noes), or use ubuntu as primary and only OS
[02:46] <lolhii> k1l, Memcached, Redis, HAProxy, AWS EC2, Monit, and Ganglia.
[02:46] <k1l> bel3atar: make a usb-stick with ubuntu on and install it into own partitions
[02:46] <histo> RollinV2: only way I can think of doing that is with keys
[02:47] <lolhii> k1l, i dont know any of those terms :|
[02:47] <bel3atar> RollinV2: can I install it on a USB stick?
[02:47] <NullDev> lolhii !!
[02:47] <histo> bel3atar: yes
[02:47] <RollinV2> histo, you can include the password in a script
[02:47] <NullDev> didnt think irc would be as good as bash ;)
[02:47] <bel3atar> histo: and it will run everywhere?
[02:47] <histo> RollinV2: I think keys are more secure
[02:47] <RollinV2> but thats a security issue in and of itself
[02:47] <RollinV2> histo, ya
[02:47] <histo> bel3atar: yes
[02:48] <ClientAlive> histo: wow that's great. You have a deep voice btw  :)
[02:48] <RollinV2> bel3atar, ya if you install ubuntu on a usb stick the usb acts as both a live install and as the installer
[02:49] <bel3atar> RollinV2: but there is a risk it would erase itself
[02:49] <histo> ClientAlive: np glad it helped
[02:49] <kimsia> NullDev: histo got it to work
[02:49] <NullDev> Dongt want to disrupt the channel but most if not all mainseam distros do that now
[02:50] <k1l> bel3atar: what should erase itself?
[02:50] <RollinV2> bel3atar, im not experienced enough with running ubuntu from usb to attest to data preservation if you use that method
[02:50] <kimsia> the trick was to set LC_ALL inside /etc/envirionment and reboot
[02:50] <kimsia> everything else such as locale-gen failed
[02:50] <bel3atar> k1l: installing from and to the same usb
[02:50] <kimsia> thank you, NullDev and histo
[02:50] <NullDev> kimsia nice what was it?
[02:50] <kimsia> i have to go now. bye!~~~
[02:50] <NullDev> kimsia night
[02:51] <kimsia> NullDev: well, basically  i have to set LC_ALL ="en_SG.UTF-8" inside /etc/environment
[02:51] <kimsia> and reboot
[02:51] <kimsia> everything else failed
[02:51] <k1l> bel3atar: wel, yes. that is not gonna work that way. either you need to install it on it or (the better version) you make a so called persistent usb stick
[02:51] <aldo_raine> hi guys
[02:51] <kimsia> i am going to pay it forward by writing out a long answer in askubuntu
[02:51] <kimsia> hopefully other people will benefit from this
[02:51] <kimsia> nights
[02:53] <Tex_Nick> aldo_raine :  hello ... if you have an ubuntu related question ... please ask :-)
[02:53] <NullDev> kimsia you didnt have to reboot just needed to 'set you enviroment variables, where your home directory is basically) restarting gnome or just typing bash if via ssh
[02:54] <aldo_raine> Tex_Nick: thanks a lot, but i asked in #ubuntu-server :)
[02:55] <NullDev> Linux only EVER needs rebooting to loadf the new kernel (although, Ive heard of a non rebootable kernel in the works)
[02:56] <acovrig> I switched from an ati card to an nvidia card, and now I get GLX is not available on the system, how do I fix this?
[02:56] <source> if anyone is familiar with goverment/police forensics i would appreciate a pm
[02:57] <Tex_Nick> source : in what fields ?
[02:57] <RollinV2> 2013 = the year of everyone locking down their computers and finally giving a crap about data security
[02:57] <source> well i have a situation that happened recently and i had some questions on procedure. its quite the story
[02:58] <NullDev> source you want to try the more advanced Linux channels lol
[02:58] <source> thats a bright idea also
[02:58] <RollinV2> ya go ask in archlinux.. if they dont flame you they will give you an ear full
[02:58] <source> just taking a shot in here though
[02:58] <RollinV2> source, hope everything is ok
[02:58] <Omen__20> Has anyone played around with Glade much?
[02:59] <source> rollinv2 everything is not ok
[02:59] <source> im really looking for advice more than anything
[02:59] <Omen__20> Following some video tutorials I get different behavior than I see in the tutorial.
[02:59] <usr13> source: Police forensics on a PC?
[02:59] <source> yes
[02:59] <dandaman> hey so i just installed my new ssd, i created an ext4 partition to take up the whole thing, when i run sudo fdisk -l in the livecd boot i get Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a vlid partition table
[02:59] <dandaman> whats with that?
[02:59] <NullDev> source anyone can run nessus, metasploit and "hack" that isnt hacking though
[03:00] <NullDev> source whats up?
[03:00] <Tex_Nick> source : my experience is mostly ... hardware related ... i'm interested though ... opening pm now
[03:00] <RollinV2> source, im trying to think of rooms for your situation. but it sounds like you need a lawyer
[03:00] <usr13> He wants someone to PM him about it, (doesn't want to talk about it on the chanel).
[03:01] <RollinV2> ya but he needed to find someone to PM
[03:01] <RollinV2> thats why i was thinking of the rooms
[03:01] <NullDev> << Experienced Red Hat admin and part time hacker (real hackerf hacks how computers work not peoples passwords)
[03:01]  * borkedk attempting to boot from usb
[03:02] <RollinV2> NullDev, im studying for the redhat exams. any tips.
[03:02] <NullDev> Im so drunk Im like what was that last message {to,for}
[03:02] <RollinV2> lol
[03:03] <RollinV2> ill take that as get drunk before the exam
[03:03] <RollinV2> thanks NullDev
[03:03] <NullDev> Rollinv2 what you familiar with?
[03:04] <RollinV2> NullDev, i use CentOS in production. nearly 3+ years exp. but i mainly need to grasp the differences that redhat brings to the table
[03:04] <RollinV2> NullDev, i think i could pass it now. but at $400 per test. i dont want to screw up.
[03:05] <NullDev> Rollinv2 nothing all CentOS do is strip the Red Hat out . Theres sometimes bugs where CentOS havent caught up with RH
[03:06] <NullDev> Rollinv2 If youve spent that long working with it as long as you can set up a LAMP server your sorted
[03:07] <RollinV2> NullDev, thanks. means a lot to hear an encouraging word.
[03:08] <RollinV2> first time i setup a server it toke 2 weeks. i can do it now (assuming scripts dont halt) in about 15min.
[03:08] <ClientAlive> one last thing. I used to have it set up so I could time the host name I see on my command line (ie: ssh mycomputername). I can't recall how I made ssh recognize that rather than a numerical ip address.
[03:08] <NullDev> Rollinv2 no worries always good to spread the Linux love
[03:09] <RollinV2> ClientAlive, did you edit the command line prompt in your .bashrc ?
[03:09] <ClientAlive> I think I edited some file but don't recall which now
[03:10] <ClientAlive> some file that ssh relies on to resolve it
[03:10] <Guest30650> hey
[03:10] <RollinV2> home/username/ssh/config ?
[03:10] <ClientAlive> I'll check. We're starting dinner here and people are yelling at me. I'll have to come back in a while.
[03:11] <ClientAlive> thx
[03:11] <usr13> RollinV2: .config
[03:11] <usr13> RollinV2: Oh, wait, I dono
[03:11] <RollinV2> usr13, its config :-)
[03:12] <usr13> RollinV2: What are you looking for?
[03:12] <RollinV2> not me, clientalive
[03:12] <RollinV2> see his question a few lines up
[03:12] <NullDev> it will be ,ssh/known_hosts
[03:12] <NullDev> . not ,
[03:13] <RollinV2> he wants to see the host name not the ip on the command line in the prompt
[03:13] <RollinV2> that suggests that he was using a custom .bashrc with the command line edited
[03:13] <Guest30650> who can help me
[03:13] <usr13> ClientAlive: ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[03:13] <RollinV2> else.. he had ssh aliases setup and he wants to connect with a command like "ssh server1" instead of typing the ip and key location
[03:14] <RollinV2> but im not sure what he exactly wanted...
[03:14] <dandaman> whats a good file system to use for my portable hd(pretty sure it's a disk), I need it to be usable on windows/osx/linux
[03:14] <dandaman> and android would be nice too
[03:14] <usr13> RollinV2: Oh, he'd have to set that up in the /etc/hosts file, (or preferable on his router).  ClientAlive
[03:14] <dandaman> i'd like to store large files(>4gb)
[03:14] <zenu> Does anyone know how to bypass a man-in-the-middle attack?
[03:14] <RollinV2> dandaman, nfts
[03:15] <Guest30650> 我
[03:15] <Guest30650> 大家好
[03:15] <dandaman> RollinV2: osx can't write to ntfs without 3rd party software
[03:15] <NullDev> thats normal you ssh via ip then next week use FQD it warns you cant trust the host key. It would only work on a trusted network
[03:15] <dandaman> android cant write to ntfs either
[03:15] <vinllen> hello
[03:16] <RollinV2> i dont use an osx machine, it really cant write to nfts?
[03:16] <RollinV2> thats new to me.
[03:16] <saruji> hello, how can i check what drivers where installed for my logitech mouse?
[03:16] <saruji> ubuntu
[03:16] <saruji> 12.10
[03:16] <NullDev> rollinv2 edit .bashrc (in /home) add alias='what i want to alias'
[03:16] <saruji> anyone?
[03:16] <hatake> lsusb
[03:17] <RollinV2> NullDev, wasn't my question.. lol. it was ClientAlive's question
[03:17] <NullDev> lol
[03:17] <NullDev> < drunk
[03:17] <RollinV2> NullDev, but thats a good reminder. i need to finish editing my .bashrc aliases to make git a bit easier on my local machine
[03:18] <NullDev> clientalive!!
[03:18] <saruji> is this the ubuntu support channel?
[03:18] <TheLordOfTime> saruji, yes it is
[03:18] <RollinV2> yep
[03:18] <saruji> TheLordOfTime, sweet thanks
[03:19] <intr0x80> I'm editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub and grub-mkconfig and my config is not being updated. Anybody know what's upwith that?
[03:20] <histo> intr0x80: what are you trying to edit in /etc/default/grub?
[03:20] <NullDev> rollinv2 they can be dangerous (If a switch isnt in your head best not to put it in your profile)
[03:21] <saruji> is somewhere in ubuntu 12.10 where there is an "event viewer", just to see a history of the errors
[03:21] <saruji> ?
[03:21] <intr0x80> histo: I'm trying to set up the serial console
[03:21] <RollinV2> NullDev, ya. i only want to shorten commands like "git log --graph --online --all"
[03:21] <RollinV2> oneline*
[03:22] <Omen__20> So I'm confused, why does there seem to be two strategies between Phone using Qt and Quickly on desktop using Gtk?
[03:23] <RollinV2> #ubuntu-phone might know
[03:23] <RollinV2> almost time for the dev nexus build to release...
[03:24] <NullDev> omen license maybe gtk alows proprietary money making software
[03:24] <NullDev> ^^ nothing wrong with that
[03:25] <NullDev> qt makes you pay
[03:26] <spydon> Does anybody have an iodine-server that I could tunnel through with very lightweight traffic?
[03:28] <NullDev> 127.0.0.1 spydon
[03:28] <NullDev> $10,000 a month ok?
[03:28] <spydon> NullDev: that doesn't really help if you want to get out of the network that is firewalled
[03:29] <NullDev> So you at least know the concept of getting "out of a firewall"
 NullDev: that doesn't really help if you want to get out of the network that is firewalled
[03:30] <hilo> spydon, consider setting up your own at an unrestricted location and having it at the ready. I use openvpn for similar purposes.
[03:31] <NullDev> nice tip hilo
[03:31] <spydon> hilo: A vpn wouldn't work for my purposes I'm afraid and I shut down my servers before I went out backpacking.
[03:31] <intr0x80> How do I know if my installation is grub1 or grub2?
[03:32] <mummyboo> hi
[03:32] <cfhowlett> intr0x80, grub 2 has been default for quite awhile, so if it's a recent ubuntu version ...
[03:32] <NullDev> giganews if anyone are useneters give vpn with one of there think gold accounts
[03:32] <intr0x80> NullDev: okay Ubuntu 12.04 Server is grub2?
[03:32] <intr0x80> it says grub-1.99
[03:32] <josesierra> Okay, so I was on earlier, asking if my gnome-shell process at 120-190MB was more or less normal.  Now, hours later I come back to my computer and check the process, and it's at 301mb.  That smells an awful lot like a memory leak somewhere.  Thoughts?  Or is this really normal memory behavior for Ubuntu w/ Gnome Shell?
[03:32] <intr0x80> Not really sure what that mans. :)
[03:33] <dr_willis> rhats geub2
[03:33] <dr_willis> thats 2
[03:33] <intr0x80> dr_willis: Thanks.
[03:34] <NullDev> intr0x88 now thats done my head in for a while to
[03:34] <AGreyCrane> I'm trying to edit the initrd on the livecd with: lzma -dc -S .lz /mnt/casper/initrd.lz | cpio -id  and I am getting lzma: /mnt/casper/initrd.lz: File format not recognized. Any ideas?
[03:35] <dr_willis> file inited.lz      see uf it is a lz  ;-)
[03:36] <NullDev> whats with the .lz
[03:36] <dr_willis> no idea

[03:37] <Dan_> lol
[03:37] <cfhowlett> Dan_, try /exit
[03:38] <Dan_> not that dumb. try again.

[03:43] <CD2000> Hi everyone! Could someone tell me if I'm at the right place? I am looking for help with trying to setup Grub 2 on my system with 4 HDDs.
[03:43] <cfhowlett> CD2000, you're in the right place.
[03:44] <CD2000> cfhowlett: thank you
[03:44] <CD2000> I'm not sure where to start...
 what you looking at achieving?
[03:44] <histo> !grub2 | CD2000
[03:45] <CD2000> I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on one of my HDs but for some unknown reason, Grub won't install or at least doesn't show up at boot tiime
[03:45] <histo> CD2000: Do you have a EFI system?
[03:45] <usr13> CD2000: Did you tell it to install into the MBR of the drive you have your PC booting to?
 what type of hardisk do you have?
[03:45] <CD2000> Yes I do.  My mobo's docs don't give me enough info to go on...
 have you had grub installed?
[03:47] <histo> !efi | CD2000
[03:47] <CD2000> I have a 240 GB ssd for disk0, a 2 TB WD drive as disk 1, a 320 GB Seagate HDD as disk2 and a 320 GB WD HDD as disk 3.
[03:47] <usr13> CD2000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[03:47] <histo> !uefi | CD2000
[03:47] <CD2000> Ubuntu is installed on disk3
[03:48] <dandaman> escott: hey are you around?
[03:48] <cfhowlett> CD2000, might this be  a server?  perhaps a RAID is called for?
[03:49] <NullDev> when you say disk 3 you mean /dev/[h:s]3
[03:49] <CD2000> No, I have Windows 7 running as my main OS on my 240 GB ssd and Ubuntu is installed on disk3, a 320 GB WD HDD.
[03:49] <cfhowlett> CD2000, I'm going to guess grub is confused ... I know I would be
[03:50] <CD2000> I'm using info from Disk Management module in Windows .
[03:50] <histo> CD2000: Is windows booting in efi mode?
[03:50] <CD2000> I tried to boot from each disk one at a time and all other disks tell me that OS is missing.
[03:51] <histo> CD2000: probably becuase of efi
[03:51] <CD2000> I'm not sure how to tell if Windows is booting in efi mode...
[03:51] <histo> CD2000: can you run boot repair in ubuntu
[03:51] <NullDev> Windows usually blue screens after a dual boot due to errors on the file system prior to disk resize
[03:51] <CD2000> I ran boot repair multiple times with no positive results
[03:51] <histo> CD2000: Is it windows 64bit?
[03:52] <CD2000> Windows 7 Pro 64bit
[03:52] <CD2000> sorry, Windows Ultimate...
[03:52] <usr13> CD2000: And Win7 is booting in efi mode?  If so, Did you read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI  ?
[03:52] <CD2000> I'm not sure how I can tell if Windows 7 is booting in efi mode???
[03:53] <cfhowlett> CD2000, that would be something to ask in ##windows
[03:53] <dandaman> hi all, im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot to install grub on my new ssd(after i copied all the files from my old hd onto it), I already mounted the new ssd via instruction 5, but now i'm on instruction 8 which gave me the output "mount; mount point /mnt/run does not exist"
[03:53] <dandaman> can anyone help me troubleshoot?
[03:53] <NullDev> will people stop swearing please ;)
[03:55] <dandaman> prease :(
[03:56] <CD2000> cfhowlett: Thank you. I will go and read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI for more info. I will be back if I require more help. Thanks again...  :D
[03:56] <cfhowlett> CD2000, best of luck.
[03:56] <CD2000> cfhowlett: Thank you.
[03:56] <histo> CD2000: Shouldn't matter grub should have installed properly you can check ifyou have a EFI partition in disk manager or other utilities.
[03:57] <histo> CD2000: boot repair you should be able to specifiy the efi parititon like on that howto page
[03:57] <CD2000> ok.  ;-)
[03:57] <CD2000> I am now leaving chat room...

 grub-install  /dev/sda as long as you have grub config your system will boot if you get grub> you still can with help
[04:01] <silenceissad> Good evening, gents.  I had a quick question concerning ubuntu, and linux in general: Whenever there's an update to the distro (happens every six months, as I read), can the user perform a live update to the newest version from their current linux distro, or do they have to update as they would a windows OS?
[04:01] <Wug> silenceissad: live update.  though some users will tell you that several consecutive updates can cause weirdly broken things
[04:01] <histo> silenceissad: yes and no
[04:02] <Wug> me being one of them
[04:02] <cfhowlett> silenceissad, you can live update every 6 months in ubuntu.
[04:02] <Wug> but you can initiate the upgrade yourself with the command "apt-get dist-upgrade" (must be run as root)
[04:02] <histo> silenceissad: You will be prompted when a new release is availible. You can then select upgrade at that time.  In between you will receive updates and security fixes.
 depends on your distro really
[04:03] <cfhowlett> silenceissad, for peace of mind, one COULD choose to just install the LTS release and upgrade every 2 years to the next LTS release.
[04:03] <histo> silenceissad: I would recomend running LTS version
[04:03] <NullDev> anyone here done LFS?
[04:03] <histo> silenceissad: and staying with it untill the next LTS
[04:03] <histo> NullDev: I have
[04:04] <cfhowlett> Wug, dist-upgrade will update that release not upgrade to the next release
[04:04] <NullDev> histo how far,and what did you gain?
[04:04] <Wug> well disregard me then, im doing it wrong
[04:04] <cfhowlett> Wug, not if things still work :)
[04:06] <Tex_Nick> silenceissad :  you can control that stuff in... System Settings/Software Sources/Updates :-)
[04:06] <histo> NullDev: I had a working system, I don't remember if I built X or not.  I gained knowledge on how things all worked together. I didn't have much understanding at first going through the book but It all came together in the end. I feel you could gain almost as much knowledge setting up an Arch system.  Other than compiling things from source etc...
[04:07] <histo> NullDev: Like you have to build the tools just to build the build tools.  It's kind of confusinig in the begining if you are not familiar with building packages.
[04:07] <silenceissad> thank you all for the prompt and very well explained setup.  I've played with ubuntu a couple of times in the past, but never long enough to be prompted for the update.  This puts me at ease, knowing that the LTE can be live updated, as it lowers the risk of me botching an upgrade when I only have one system to work with.
[04:08] <histo> silenceissad: yes you can go LTS to LTS
[04:08] <histo> silenceissad: if you go to an in between update like lets say 12.10 and then 14.04 comes out.  You'd have to 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04
[04:09] <Rarrikins> Why does `apt-get uninstall mysql-server; apt-get install mysql-server` not install all the files and ask me to set the database password?
[04:09] <histo> silenceissad: that's where people have issues. But 12.04 to 14.04 will be supported
[04:09] <NullDev> histo personally I learned quite a bit from LFs until pass 3 on gcc (I was building on a virtualbox Wether thats me being wet from the ears then Im not sure, but I could never get the results to compare with mine)
[04:09] <cfhowlett> silenceissad, in my experience, while live update is nice, clean install is better and actually leads to few headaches.  Just sayin' ...
[04:09] <cfhowlett> *fewer headaches*
[04:09] <rats_> silenceissad: the 12.94 release is good for 5 yrs
[04:10] <histo> Rarrikins: because the old files were not purged
[04:10] <silenceissad> histo: Thank you for pointing that out.  I just wanted to get that straight *before* I move to the BFE with only one pc to work with.
[04:10] <dandaman> NullDev: sorry, was that paste from cd2000 directed at me?
[04:10] <histo> NullDev: typos most likely I had trouble decerning ' vs `  etc... ON their page.
[04:10] <histo> silenceissad: definately go LTS then before you go to BFE
[04:10] <NullDev> dandaman no
[04:11]  * cfhowlett revealing my ignorance: what is BFE?  
[04:11] <RollinV2> reinstalling ubuntu should be easy. automate your setup tasks with a script.
[04:11] <Rarrikins> histo: What is an easy way to purge the old files?
[04:11] <histo> Rarrikins: you'd have to do something like sudo apt-get purge mysql-server && sudo apt-get install mysql-server       Purge will get rid of the configs etc...
[04:11] <dandaman> damn, well can anyone help me install grub on my new hard drive? im completely lost following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[04:11] <Rarrikins> histo: Thanks :)
[04:12] <histo> dandaman: grubinstall /dev/of/harddrive  isnt' it?
[04:12] <NullDev> why not just find / -iname * | xargs rm -rf
[04:12] <dandaman> histo: the issue is i copied one hard drive to a new one, i think that is messing things up
[04:12] <Rarrikins> No, it's still not letting me set anything, and wouldn't you know it, it doesn't install anything to /etc/init.d if it's not there.
[04:12] <histo> dandaman: How did you copy it?  What tool did you use?
[04:13] <dandaman> rsync -av /oldhd /newhd
[04:13] <histo> Rarrikins: Like what do you want to set?  What behavior are you expecting?
[04:13] <histo> dandaman: oh boy
[04:13] <NullDev> dandaman what grub do you need to install legacy or v2? What distr you running thats its being installed to?
[04:13] <dandaman> that's what people were telling me to do earlier because it is an ssd
[04:13] <dandaman> NullDev: using 10.04 LTS
[04:14] <dBLOOD> hi peopple!
[04:14] <cfhowlett> dandaman, end of life in 3 months you know ...
[04:14] <dBLOOD> can anyone help me?
[04:14] <cfhowlett> dBLOOD, greetings
[04:14] <histo> dandaman: do you know what the device number is for the drive?
[04:14] <histo> cfhowlett: nO it's not
[04:14] <cfhowlett> dBLOOD, ask with details please
[04:14] <silenceissad> Lastly, would you recommend installing a backup OS in the event something crashes the current linux build?  I'm not much for blindly ripping into and adjusting code/script, so I don't think it'd be an issue on my part, but I'm not sure just how stable linux is, and if installing something new might corrupt a setting/script that would corrupt the OS.
[04:14] <histo> cfhowlett: LTS is 5 years
[04:14] <Rarrikins> histo: I want apt-get intsall mysql-server to make a mysql file in /etc/init.d
[04:14] <NullDev> dandaman your gonna need someone local or a remote kvm
[04:14] <dandaman> histo: yes, old one is sda1 new one is sdc1
[04:14] <dBLOOD> can I make my ex4 /home without reinstalling my sys?
[04:14] <histo> Rarrikins: You do realize we are using upstart now right?
[04:14] <cfhowlett> histo, 10.04 desktop has 36 months support, network has 60 months
[04:15] <histo> dandaman: grubinstall /dev/sda1
[04:15] <NullDev> dandaman grub-install /dev/
[04:15] <histo> dandaman: grubinstall /dev/sda
[04:15] <histo> dandaman: stop
[04:15] <dandaman> ?
[04:15] <histo> dandaman: grubinstall /dev/sdc
[04:15] <Tex_Nick> silenceissad :  something to keep inmind though ... clean installs of major releases are sometimes preferable to upgrades ... when you install ubuntu the first time, segregating home onto another partition facilitates that
[04:15] <histo> sorry typo'd the first couple
[04:15] <cfhowlett> histo, LTS is 5 years for desktop and server as of 12.04 ...
[04:15] <NullDev> best to install to the MBR than a partition
[04:15] <dandaman> histo: just do that from a liveboot terminal?
[04:15] <histo> dandaman: grubinstall /dev/sdc   will install grub to the MBR of the new drive
[04:15] <dandaman> dont chroot or anything?
[04:16] <dandaman> histo: but wont it still be on the old one?
[04:16] <dandaman> and also wont my fstab be incorrect?
[04:17] <histo> dandaman: yes it will still be on the old one. Fstab needs to be updated with the uuid's
[04:17] <someGuy5463> hi everyone, i have a problem trying to start apache, (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
[04:17] <MonkWitDaFunk> Hi ubuntu channel. Im interested in removing the desktop enviroment from ubuntu
[04:17] <NullDev> dandaman your fstab will be what the system was built with, your disksm might change but fstab wont.
[04:18] <cfhowlett> MonkWitDaFunk, remove or replace?
[04:18] <dBLOOD> g2g, bye
[04:18] <histo> dandaman: what do you plan on doing with the old disk
[04:18] <TheLordOfTime> MonkWitDaFunk, are you wanting to create a command-line only environment?
[04:18] <TheLordOfTime> MonkWitDaFunk, if not, you will need a desktop environment
[04:18] <silenceissad> Hmm, maybe I should haul out some blank DVDs with me then, in the event of doing a fresh install.  Thanks again to all who replied.  I'll be installing ubuntu once I upgrade my RAM on this laptop, and getting a bigger HDD.
[04:18] <dandaman> histo: i dont have anything mounted, just rebooted the livecd fresh, i ran sudo grub-install /dev/sdc and i got Path '/boot/grub' is not readbable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting
[04:19] <cfhowlett> silenceissad, have fun, be safe
[04:19] <dandaman> histo: probably toss it or use it to store movies, it's super old and is gonna die soon
[04:19] <Intelect> I would like stop a littke with ubuntu.. I am tired!!
[04:19] <NullDev> why /dev/sdc ?
[04:19] <histo> dandaman: you'll also have to recreeate swap
[04:19] <histo> NullDev: becuase it's hooked up as a third disk
[04:19] <histo> NullDev: secondary master
[04:19] <dandaman> histo: already made 4 gigs of swap space with gparted
[04:20] <histo> NullDev: if it was old ide
[04:20] <dandaman> my original is an old ide
[04:20] <dandaman> i have another hard drive which is a 1.5tb storage drive
[04:20] <dandaman> and now this 3rd ssd
[04:20] <NullDev> swap iis long gone Linux doesent need t
[04:20] <histo> dandaman: okay well moun /dev/sdc1    edit the fstab with the new uuid's of the / and /swap on /dev/sdc   then grub-install /dev/sdc    will install grub to the MBR.   Unplug /dev/sda and reboot should be good.
[04:21] <histo> dandaman: Here's a better howto http://radu.cotescu.com/migrating-your-ubuntu-machine-to-a-ssd-drive/
[04:21] <Intelect> What is the channel of sabayon?
[04:22] <histo> dandaman: although he doesn't go into fixing fstab
[04:22] <cfhowlett> Intelect, probably #sabayon ???
[04:22] <histo> dandaman: sudo blkid will list all your uuid's
[04:22] <dandaman> ty
[04:22] <someGuy5463> hi everyone, i have a problem trying to start apache, (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
[04:22] <dandaman> histo: i should be able to handle that
[04:22] <Bsims> Someguy123: what other webservers are you running?
[04:22] <Intelect> Anyone already use the sabayon?
[04:23] <histo> dandaman: K... if you rsync'd you should have /boot   for the other grub stuff. The issue is just the mbr of the drive and fstab
 lsof -i tcp:80
[04:23] <cfhowlett> !ot|Intelect,
[04:23] <dandaman> k, onwards for me
[04:23] <bel3atar>  /j #sabayon
[04:24] <NullDev> you will probably find some stale Apache you need to ill
[04:24] <histo> NullDev: I would recomend still using a swap partition or swap file.
[04:24] <someGuy5463> Bsims: this is the thing, first i instlaled apache from source, then i try to unistalled but the "make uninstall"  command didnt work, so i removed all the apache directories, then i installed it from apt-get
[04:24] <Bsims> Someguy123: does ps aux show apache still running?
[04:24] <Intelect> ubottu: You are a crypted bot! What really are you?
[04:24] <NullDev> histo on a server yes not on a desktop with 8gb
[04:24] <someGuy5463> Bsoms: let me check
[04:25] <someGuy5463> Bsims: let me check
[04:25] <histo> NullDev: No suspend to disk then
[04:25] <someGuy5463> Bsims: yep, its still running
[04:25] <NullDev> histo even on my old 486 never used anythin like that
[04:25] <Bsims> Someguy123: kill -9 the pid
[04:26] <histo> NullDev: I think you missed my point. You can suspend to disk without it.
[04:26] <histo> NullDev: Like hibernating....
[04:27] <NullDev> histo Im old skool I know what hibernating and laptops are (never used them)
[04:27] <someGuy5463> Bsims:, thanks a lot,  i worked
[04:28] <capneon> hi
[04:28] <histo> NullDev: I use it on my lappy when power gets down below5% she hibernates
[04:29] <dandaman> using boot-repair to reinstall grub
[04:29] <dandaman> hope this works
[04:29] <NullDev> ^^Linux saves family
[04:35] <histo> saves family?
[04:35] <dandaman> grub works
[04:36] <dandaman> lets see if fixing fstab worked
[04:36] <dandaman> holy shit, those bootup speeds
[04:36] <dandaman> oh my god, ssd is like 10x faster
[04:36] <dandaman> i cant believe how long i was using that POS hdd for
[04:37] <cfhowlett> dandaman, happy for you, but let's keep it clean, please.
[04:37] <dandaman> soz
[04:38] <dandaman> im super excited
[04:38] <dandaman> any ideas for what i should do with this old hdd?
[04:39] <Tex_Nick> dandaman :  paperweight ?
[04:39] <codepython777> is this reliable: deb http://cmeerw.org/files/debian lucid pdns - or any suggestions where i can get pdns from ?
[04:40] <cocomo> i want to sync folders on two ubuntu machines connected to eachother on lan network.
[04:40] <cfhowlett> codepython777, it's not in repos ...
[04:40] <cocomo> one is ubuntu 12.04 and 2nd is xubuntu 12.10
[04:40] <cocomo> any software that would let me do that
[04:40] <cocomo> ?
[04:41] <codepython777> cfhowlett: seems its not an up2date version
[04:41] <cfhowlett> cocomo, big files, small files?  dropbox for the quick and easy synch
[04:41] <dandaman> it actually wasn't all that bad, 7200 rpm but only 2 MB buffer
[04:41] <RollinV2> cocomo, rsync if larger
[04:41] <cocomo> cfhowlett: i have big files in GBs
[04:42] <cfhowlett> cocomo, dropbox comes free with 5G iirc ...
[04:42] <cocomo> dropbox needs internet connection to sync folders on lan which i probably wont have someties
[04:42] <cfhowlett> codepython777, that page lists the deb files and they're dated 01/27/13 ...
[04:43] <cocomo> i currently use scp but i am looking for some automated solution
[04:43] <lasers> cocomo: lsyncd (or use a damn nas)
[04:43] <zykotick9> cocomo: honestly i think rsync is the best solution for virtually all sync needs.  but look into unison for something a big for conventional.
[04:43] <cfhowlett> codepython777, oh, you mean for the latest ubuntu version ... I'd say contact the package maintainers
[04:43] <codepython777> cfhowlett: I was looking for someone who uses pdns
[04:43] <jinx3d> Hi, I am new to the linux community, I have 7 computer systems out of which I intent to use ones as a server and the rest as clients. What I wanted to do was whenever I get any package or updates on a client I want them to get it from the server and I want the server to keep only one copy of it instead of getting it 6 times from the internet.
[04:43] <Altimeter> cocomo, I'll second rsync.  It's phenomenal.
[04:43] <zykotick9> cocomo: s/big for/bit more/
[04:44] <jarray52> I
[04:44] <cfhowlett> jinx3d, you can set one of your boxes as a private mirror and direct the boxes to that machine
[04:44] <cocomo> ty guys i'll look into lsyncd n rsync
[04:44] <cocomo> is there a way to sync mysql databases on these two systems also?
[04:45] <RollinV2> cocomo, sqldump -> rsync
[04:45] <jinx3d> cfhowlett, how do I keep the updates and the packages once downloaded there?
[04:45] <zykotick9> jinx3d: check out apt-cacher-ng or apt-cacher
[04:45] <RollinV2> cocomo,  but you should write a good script for that one
[04:45] <dr_willis_> jinx3d:  apt-cacher-ng is a must have for a small lan like that. ;)
[04:46] <jarray52> I'm using a second monitor with my laptop. When I click the display settings, the second monitor will only allow me to use 1024x768 resolution. Is that due to my graphics  card driver?
[04:46] <cocomo> i don't know shell script :()
[04:46] <cocomo> i know javascript :)
[04:46] <jarray52> cocomo: They're very different things.
[04:46] <cfhowlett> jinx3d, there are a few articles and tutorials out there.  Sadly, I'm in China and my internet speed is throttled.  Search ubuntu + private + mirror
[04:46] <jinx3d> I'll check it out. Thanks :-) can't type everyone's name I am on a small phone. :-o
[04:47] <Tex_Nick> dandaman :  i had to scroll up to see what your original issue was ... haven't read read the entire thread but ... if you have replaced the IDE drive with your new SSD ... then use the IDE for a data drive
[04:47] <bravis> wee
[04:47] <cfhowlett> jinx3d, I'd imagine the folks in #ubuntu-server have experience with your scenario
[04:49] <jinx3d> cfhowlett, thanks I'll drop by there after I have checked out. Apt cacher
[04:49] <dandaman> Tex_Nick: yeah that's the obvious solution, but i was wondering if there was anything cool to do with it
[04:49] <cfhowlett> jinx3d, best of luck
[04:50] <jinx3d> cfhowlett, thanks! And now your name is my phone dictionary. ;-)
[04:50] <zykotick9> jinx3d: i would recommend using apt-cacher-ng over apt-cacher.  it supports multiple distros and releases at the same time.  apt-cacher can only do one
[04:51] <jinx3d> zykotick9, thanks I actually have mint on the other boxes. I might use ubuntu server for the server
[04:52] <Tex_Nick> dandaman :  hey i have a demo pc i use to instruct some classes ... i removed the top of a hd to demonstrate the inner workings of if ... that's kinda cool ... don't trust QOS on it though ;-)
[04:52] <dandaman> Tex_Nick: that would be neat actually
[04:53] <zenu> How do I troubleshoot issues with X? any application using openGL that I launch crashes with the same error
[04:53] <zenu> X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)

[04:53] <zenu> ?
[04:53] <zenu> wait one second then
[04:54] <zykotick9> zenu: what is you gpu?  "lspci | grep -vi vga"
[04:54] <zykotick9> zenu: ati nevermind
[04:54] <Tex_Nick> dandaman :  yeah ... that type of work needs to be done in a clean-room enviornment :)

[05:04] <CD2000> Ok. I booted Ubuntu 12.10 from a 8GB usb stick. I have Win 7 Ultimate installed on 1st HD (240GB SSD), my second HD is a 2 TB WD 7200 RPM drive (1 NTFS partition), my 3rd HD is a Seagate 320 GB HDD with 1 NTFS partition and my 4th HDD is a 320 GB WD HDD with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit installed. My mobo is Asus P8Z77-V LX with updated BIOS to latest revision. I've just went through UEFI documentation. I ran boot repair several times, installing Grub on all H
[05:05] <cfhowlett> CD2000, if this thing is boot MBR, then you've absolutely got more than 4 partitions and that will make grub do strange things
[05:06] <CD2000> The most partitions I have on any disk is 3 on the 4th disk which has Ubuntu installed on it.
[05:06] <cfhowlett> CD2000, 4 PRIMARY partitions is the mbr limit.  Logical partitions are limitless (?)

[05:09] <CD2000> It just boots to Windows. I try to boot from different disks via the BIOS but it always tells me no OS found

[05:10] <dr_willis_> Hmm. that almost sounds like grub did not get installed on the other disks
[05:10] <usr13> dr_willis_: It did not get installed on sda (which is the drive he boots to).
[05:10] <CD2000> I even tried the option to install Grub on every disk except the USB but it still won't work... I'm really getting confused.
[05:11] <CD2000> I get that Grub didn't install on sda but I've ran boot repair several times already...
[05:11]  * cfhowlett with multiple hdds would cd2000 NOT have to specify WHICH device to load grub on?  sda01, sda02, etc?
[05:11] <dandaman1> dr_willis_: anything beyond that?
[05:12]  * cfhowlett or is the protocol sda, sdb, sdc ?
[05:12] <CD2000> I first tried sda1, that didn't work. Then I tried others but still no go...
[05:12] <usr13> CD2000: Not sda1  sda
[05:13] <CD2000> yes, sorry.
[05:13] <usr13> CD2000: Install grub to the MBR of sda  (not sda1)
[05:14] <CD2000> I will try one more time then I must get to bed... lol
[05:14] <CD2000> Thank you for your support. If you see me back here tomorrow, it's because I failed at getting it to work. Good night everyone and thanks again for your help.  ;-)
[05:15] <dr_willis_> grub sould go on sda sdb sdc    not sda1 and sdb2 from what i know ;) but i dont mess with uefi (yet)
[05:16] <dr_willis_> you could even put grub on a removeable flash drive
[05:16] <Tex_Nick> dandaman1 :  ActionParsnip gave me ti tip on one of his installs ... <ActionParsnip> Tex_nick: I also shove my web cache in tempfs for speed :-). Its good for SSDs too, fewer writes with worthless data
[05:16] <dandaman1> Tex_Nick: wouldn't my web cache be on my ssd anyway?
[05:18] <xibalb> hey folks, do you mind telling me what you think of my ruby blog posting? http://danknox.github.com/2013/01/27/using-rubys-native-nethttp-library/
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> xibalb: not support; please don't post stuff like that here
[05:19] <xibalb> :( ok
[05:19] <xibalb> i wrote it on an ubuntu desktop! =P
[05:19] <xibalb> I just figured there might be some ruby devs here
[05:19] <xibalb> kind of a buzz kill you aeon-ltd
[05:20] <cfhowlett> xibalb, #ruby or ##ruby is what you want
[05:22] <leto_> join #odamex
[05:22] <Tex_Nick> dandaman1 :  i'm not really qualified to discuss the virtues of that issue ... however i've seen benifits for doing so ... search google for tempfs ... you'llget an idea of the benifits
[05:27] <dr_willis_> tmpfs is a 'ram disk' there are some speed benifits of having it there.
[05:28] <dr_willis_>  You set up some directory for the user at boot time via rc.local and link theusers web cache directory to it. for a gain in speed
[05:29] <dr_willis_> bbl
[05:30] <ClientAlive> I'm making ssh keys to connect 2 computers. I see that in /etc/hosts the hostname of the computer I'm trying to connect to is listed with it's ip address. I'm getting the following problem: http://ideone.com/ermsRc  <- Can someone please help me with that?
[05:30] <anthony> quick question guys!. i am booting ubuntu for the first time after just reinstalling it. its on a black screen and says checking battery state. its a desktop computer. its been stuck on that for bout 15 minutes now
[05:32] <anthony> anyone?
[05:32] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|anthony,
[05:35] <anthony> its not just a black scren. as i said.
[05:37] <anthony> it seems to be some sort of pre-boot checklist. but its stuck on "checking battery state"iv tried rebooting twice
[05:39] <anthony> does anyone here know what im talking about???
[05:39] <cfhowlett> anthony, plug in the power cord so it'll bypass battery checks
[05:39] <anthony> its not a laptop. its a deskto.v
[05:40] <anthony> desktop*
[05:40] <makara> Hi. Anyone know how to force batch jobs to execute no matter the system load?
[05:41] <anthony> thats why im a little confused. because there is no battery to check the status on
[05:41] <genoobie> evening all
[05:41] <genoobie> somehow grub is screwed up
[05:42] <genoobie> how can I fix this from inside puppylinux
[05:42] <genoobie> any suggestions?
[05:42] <ClientAlive> I'm having a problem ssh into my other computer. Can't connect to port 22. Is ther eanyone familar with resolving this issue?
[05:42] <cfhowlett> genoobie, ask in #puppylinux support
[05:42] <anthony> i just unplugged it while on (i know im not supposed to do that. but i thinkvthsts
[05:43] <anthony> but i think thst what i did last time it did this when i installed ubutnu the last time*
[05:44] <aeon-ltd> ClientAlive: firewall?
[05:45] <ClientAlive> aeon-ltd: It's a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 desktop. I have no idea what it's defaults are or what to do about it. This is what is going on: ideone.com/ermsRc

[05:47] <rob_p> ClientAlive: Can you ping 192.168.0.12?
[05:47] <ClientAlive> matthewvz: does it suggest anything that I was able to connect with my other old lappy for months now but now, with this new machine, cannot?
[05:48] <ClientAlive> rob_p: let me see
[05:49] <makara> there must be a way to do this. crazy

[05:49] <makara> is there a better channel to ask this question in?
[05:50] <UbuntuNewb> Hi. I think I have a virus. Everytime I boot up my computer, it looks like all my files are encrypted and I have to run ecryptfs to get them running again. Things have been getting weird in a lot of other aspects, as well: I'm trying to make a USB bootdisk, and it's telling me that it's capacity is 14.9 gigs when I know it is a 16 gig drive. When I first inserted the disk, it said that it was 16, and didn't change until I att
[05:50] <UbuntuNewb> empted to load a new distro on it with unetbootin.
[05:50]  * dr_willis missed the question
[05:51] <dr_willis> i doubt if you have managed to find a virus on linux
[05:51] <UbuntuNewb> I know, I know, but it's really acting crazy.
[05:51] <anthony> well i think google solved my problem thid time
[05:52] <UbuntuNewb> I'm currently trying to make a new Ubuntu USB bootdrive on the oddly acting USB disk anyway. If it continues to act odd, I might just have to get someone to make a boot disk from me on another computer. Is there any other solutions that someone can think of?
[05:53] <Tex_Nick> !virus | UbuntuNewb
[05:53] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick I ran ClamAV linux antivirus and found 53 threats. I deleted them, but it's still acting funky.
[05:54] <UbuntuNewb> Linux virus' are rare but they do exist.
[05:54] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, you found 53 threats?  Not going to ask what you've been looking at but that is a LOT ...
[05:54] <genoobie> my grub is broken
[05:54] <cfhowlett> genoobie, puppylinux is not supported here ...
[05:54] <UbuntuNewb> It happened right after I downloaded a torrent
[05:54] <UbuntuNewb> for BackTrack linux.
[05:55] <matthewvz> Just saying grub is broken won't help us help you.
[05:55] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  out of curosity ... what were the threats reported ?\
[05:56] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick Several files with .PDF extensions, something called AwesomiumProcess, etc etc.
[05:57] <UbuntuNewb> When I went to the destinations that the reported viruses were found at, I couldn't see them even if I set it to show .files
[05:57] <dell> i installed ATI drivers, and now unity doesnt work
[05:58] <UbuntuNewb> I googled Awesomium but it said it wasn't a virus but just something for gaming, so it's possible that it's a false alarm but between that and the fact that several of the files had copied themselves throughout my home folder it has me worried, not to mention the random root access requests.
[05:58] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  those appear to be .exe files ... shouldn't ever infect your linux system
[05:58] <Bon-chan> guys, where can i found the config files of my terminal?
[05:59] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick I thought the same thing, but it looks like they were booting themselves through WINE
[05:59] <UbuntuNewb> They had copied themselves from other folders into my WINE software.
[05:59] <Wug> you wouldn't get a virus from a linux torrent
[05:59] <Wug> at least not an official one.
[05:59] <cfhowlett> ubuntulog, more likely that .exe files are set to boot wine on your system
[06:00] <genoobie> matthewvz are you still here?
[06:00] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, .exe files are set to start wine by default if wine is installed.
[06:00] <Wug> if youve gotten something its probably either something that got into your computer with via a weak password
[06:00] <Ben64> !details | genoobie
[06:00] <matthewvz> genoobie: I'm here.
[06:00] <genoobie> okay here's the deal
[06:00] <dr_willis> and worse case... a windows exe malware - would mess up the users files.. not the whole system
[06:00] <genoobie> I have three partitions
[06:00] <Ben64> genoobie: but we cannot help you with puppy linux
[06:00] <dr_willis> unless you ran wine as root. ;)
[06:00] <Wug> killall wine
[06:00] <Ben64> wineserver -k
[06:00] <genoobie> there's /sda1 for winxp
[06:00] <cfhowlett> genoobie, #puppylinux is the channel you want.
[06:01] <cfhowlett> !puppylinux|genoobie
[06:01] <genoobie> there's /sda2 which is swap and sda3 which is for experimental *nix installs
[06:01] <genoobie> for some reason, I've lost my grub
[06:01] <Wug> cfhowlett: dumb things like partitions are common to every linux distro
[06:01] <dr_willis> genoobie:  and what Version of ubuntu are you running?
[06:02] <matthewvz> Boot on a live CD and reinstall GRUB?
[06:02] <red82> I'm trying to turn on ssl for my apache on ubuntu.  I moved default-ssl to sites-enabled.  Do I need to replace _default_:443 with mydomain.com:443 ?
[06:02] <Wug> genoobie: reinstall it with your package manager of choice
[06:02] <genoobie> so I am trying to reinstall, but /sda1 the xp partition is hibernating
[06:02] <genoobie> well I am using a grub installer
[06:02] <UbuntuNewb> Wug I agree, and cfhowlett I see your point as well. It was a torrent downloaded directly from the site (unless I was somehow the victim of fishing). I didn't run WINE as root, or give root permissions to wine files, but the fact that the files copied themselves from one folder into the .wine folder, as well as the random requests for authentication have me worried. Also, why do I need to run ecryptfs on every boot up now?
[06:02] <genoobie> and it is asking where I want the grub files to go
[06:02] <cfhowlett> Wug, correct, but he already said he's running puppylinux ...
[06:02] <dell> genoobie: format everything and reinstall ubuntu and xp
[06:03] <dr_willis> genoobie:  that would be on sda or sdb  depending on your setup
[06:03] <genoobie> so I'm not sure how to respond to this
[06:03] <dell> genoobie: thats what i would do.. in fact i will be doing it in a moment
[06:03] <Wug> cfhowlett: grub behaves the same on all versions
[06:03] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, if you
[06:03] <Wug> it breaks the same way, and you fix it the same way
[06:03] <genoobie> dr_willis, only one dev
[06:03] <genoobie> sda
[06:03] <genoobie> no other hdd
[06:03] <dr_willis> genoobie:  guess you can only give one answer then.
[06:03] <genoobie> so dr_willis, /dev/sda1 for instance?
[06:04] <genoobie> or /dev/sda2?
[06:04] <dr_willis> genoobie:  i said SDA   not sda1
[06:04] <genoobie> oh
[06:04] <genoobie> dr_willis, no /dev?
[06:04] <dell> yeah fool, 1 and 2 are partitions
[06:04] <dr_willis> depends on how its asking.. it may assume /dev/
[06:04] <dell> genoobie: cfdisk /dev/sda
[06:04] <cfhowlett> Wug, noted ...
[06:04] <UbuntuNewb> Also, sometimes when I boot it acts like a fresh install (all items on the Launcher are the same as from original boot, it forgets which items I've given permissions to run as a program, etc) and all my FireFox addons are gone: it looks like I used the Reset FireFox option.
[06:04] <genoobie> okay
[06:05] <M4dN3ss> lol
[06:05] <dell> it is /etc/sda!!!
[06:05] <genoobie> dr_willis, much obliged
[06:05] <dell> maybe /usr/lib/sda
[06:05] <Wug> UbuntuNewb: if you're that concerned about it, format and reinstall
[06:05] <cfhowlett> Wug, but would I go to #redhat for assistance with ubuntu?  same principle ...
[06:05] <Wug> cfhowlett: if he had ubuntu, would you help him fix grub?
[06:05] <dell> cfhowlett: in principle, nobody should help with other distro people... when i do that they dont help me
[06:05] <UbuntuNewb> Wug: Thank you. I'm just still worried about the disappearing room on by USB stick.
[06:06] <Wug> UbuntuNewb: when in doubt format all the things
[06:06] <syazlanj> #kampung
[06:06] <Wug> though it could just be hidden files
[06:06] <dell> i would format
[06:06] <Wug> ctrl+h in the file browser will show hidden foles
[06:06] <UbuntuNewb> Should I worry that whatever this is has somehow transfered itself into the new boot drive? I checked for .files
[06:07] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, a fresh install would overwrite the boot drive ...
[06:07] <dell> i am sure linux viruses are smarter than that.. they would write themselves to /proc somewhere, or something
[06:07] <dell> not as hidden files in your home folder
[06:07] <Wug> proc is a temporary filesystem
[06:07] <Wug> it gets destroyed and recreated fresh when you reboot
[06:07] <UbuntuNewb> Wug: Already tried that, nothing was there. I formatted it again and it still says my max data is 14.9 rather then the 16 it said originally. Is there another way to check for something hidden, like a hidden partition on the USB?
[06:08] <dell> UbuntuNewb: use find
[06:08] <dell> UbuntuNewb: find --help
[06:08] <Wug> UbuntuNewb: 16 fake gigabytes is 14.9 real ones
[06:08] <Wug> 10^3 versus 2^10
[06:09] <Wug> dont worry about it, your drive is still the same size
[06:09] <UbuntuNewb> When I first inserted the USB it said I had 15.9 max, when I used Unetbootin to install BackTrack it changed suddenly to 14.9
[06:09] <dell> yeah, type df
[06:09] <Wug> you probably just misremember its original capacity
[06:09] <dell> UbuntuNewb: cfdisk
[06:09] <UbuntuNewb> It was five seconds ago, I just went out and bought this
[06:09] <nuf0xx> df -h gives it in human terms
[06:09] <dell> UbuntuNewb: in terminal type cfdisk /dev/sda
[06:10] <Wug> then one of them listed real gigabytes and the other fake ones
[06:10] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, what does startup disk creator say is the capacity?
[06:10] <UbuntuNewb> Before I used Unetbootin, 15.9~ and after, it was 14.9
[06:10] <Wug> "real" being 1073741824 bytes and "fake" being 1000000000 bytes
[06:10] <UbuntuNewb> on Startup Disk Creator
[06:10] <Wug> just trust me, its fine
[06:10] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, as wug has stated, that is normal.
[06:11] <dell> i concur
[06:11] <UbuntuNewb> Okay. Thanks.
[06:11] <Wug> people who sell things love to sell less than what you paid for
[06:11] <dell> yeah
[06:11] <UbuntuNewb> It just confused me because it read two different amounts of data on it.
[06:11] <dell> UbuntuNewb: cfdisk /dev/sda
[06:11] <Wug> selling 500GB drives that only hold 465GB is their way of making asses of themselves
[06:12] <Wug> one was proper gigabytes and the other wasnt
[06:12] <histo> Wug: No that's how hard drive works
[06:12] <Wug> histo: why isnt it how SSDs work
[06:12] <Wug> you'd think they could at least pick one.
[06:12] <dell> 500 billion bytes dont make 500 gb, here is the trick
[06:12] <UbuntuNewb> Dell: I get FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
[06:12] <Wug> and everyone in the computer world thinks a gigabyte is 2^30 bytes
[06:12] <histo> Wug: They have picked one. You ahve to account for space of inodes and parittion tables etc...
[06:13] <dell> UbuntuNewb: well then your disk drive has been fried, maybe it is not even there.. i would open the box and look
[06:13] <dell> UbuntuNewb: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda
[06:13] <Wug> dell: or the somewhat more likely diagnosis, "its not sda"
[06:13] <UbuntuNewb> Oh, lol, sudo worked.
[06:13] <dell> hda?
[06:13] <Wug> or sudo was missing.
[06:14] <UbuntuNewb> I see 4 partitions on the drive.
[06:14] <dell> they used to be called hda's... maybe sda means SCSI?
[06:14] <dock> gigabyte has now been standardized as 1,000,000,000.  "Gibibyte" is the new term for the power of two.  Thus GiB vs GB.
[06:14] <Wug> I was thinking more along the lines of sdb
[06:14] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  It's confusing because 1024 bits = a Mbit ... however over the years ... a Mbit has been shortened to 1000 bits
[06:14] <dell> UbuntuNewb: add them up to see how many gb you have
[06:14] <UbuntuNewb> They changed it from 1024?
[06:14] <Wug> dock: when your computer savvy friend says gigabyte to you, what do you think
[06:15] <apm1> wow so ubuntu 12.04 has this new entry in the proprietary driver installer (jockey)experimental xorg and amd binary driver module)
[06:15] <apm1> is this the fglrx driver
[06:15] <apm1> being adapted as a kernel module
[06:15] <dell> apm1: i installed ATI driver a minute ago, and now X wont work, i am on console
[06:15] <UbuntuNewb> dell: 320072.95 MB
[06:16] <dell> UbuntuNewb: that should be enough for a man
[06:16] <apm1> dell, this new module you mean or the stable ones in the 12.04 repo ?
[06:16] <UbuntuNewb> Okay. As long as I'm not hauling around this virus (I swear I'm not paranoid) to my next install :D
[06:17] <dell> apm1: no idea.. i installed in the software center... it is called "ati binary driver"
[06:17] <apm1> dell, did it also say its in experimental stage ?
[06:17] <apm1> in the descriptions
[06:18] <dell> apm1: hmm, didnt really check... it was 82 mb, so maybe thats a clue
[06:18] <apm1> dell, what card do you have ?
[06:18] <dell> apm1: something awesome i am sure, this is a brand new laptop with 6 gb ram
[06:18] <apm1> run "lspci"
[06:18] <dell> ok
[06:18] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  It's just that the marketing people can't perform math ... so they shortened it to 1000
[06:18] <apm1> dell, patebin the result
[06:18] <apm1> dell, don't flood
[06:19] <dell> apm1: Radeon HD 7600M
[06:19] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick I'm sorry to sound repetitive but... how come Startup Disk gave me two different results?
[06:19] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick I'm just confused.
[06:20] <apm1> dell, i don't think the driver which you installed had support for such a new card
[06:21] <dell> apm1: can this card run battlefield 3 in your opinion?
[06:21] <apm1> dell, owners of these new cards need to stay with the default opensource drivers until we figure out how to proprely handle the 13.1 catalyst driver
[06:21] <apm1> dell, i think so yes it can handle it
[06:22] <dell> apm1: ok so you suggest that i use the ubuntu's own driver for the video card? how do i roll back to it? i am on console
[06:22] <dell> apm1: ah, right, i will install aptitide and search for it
[06:22] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  i may be confused on  your issue ... but have you considered the formating overhead
[06:23] <dell> Tex_Nick: i think his harddisk is hexed, it needs exorcism
[06:23] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick My name isn't sarcastic, I really am pretty new to this stuff so... overhead?
[06:23] <purplerain> How do i install driver for Broadcom BCM4313? i tried installing the driver from Jockey but it fail to install, also is there open-source version for this driver? thanks
[06:23] <apm1> ubuntulog, using EFI boot ?
[06:24] <apm1> wrong nick shit
[06:24] <cfhowlett> !broadcom|purplerain,
[06:24] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, using EFI ?
[06:24]  * UbuntuNewb laughs. apm1: It's okay. I don't know what EFI is.
[06:24] <cfhowlett> purplerain, what version of ubuntu on what machine?
[06:25] <apm1> ubuntulog,my mac gives me 2 diff drives to boot from from an ubuntu live cd
[06:25] <apm1> wrong nick again
[06:25] <purplerain> cfhowlett: i have read the doc :/ not sure what i am missing, Kubuntu Precise on Ideapad U310
[06:25] <apm1> FU autocomplete
[06:25] <dell> apm1: he doesnt use EFI, we just got him to get int cfdisk and he could see his partitions
[06:25] <apm1> ok
[06:25] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  ok i wasn't trying to insult you ... when a storage device is created ... there is a portion of it that is dedicated to keeping track of the information it contains
[06:26] <cfhowlett> purplerain, surprised that doesn't just workk ... my lenovo thinkpad got it on the first boot
[06:26] <dell> Tex_Nick: MBR?
[06:26] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick It's cool, I'm learning and that's why I'm using linux, to learn so. Yay, teach me stuff!
[06:26] <cfhowlett> purplerain, you ran setttings > additional drivers?
[06:26] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, did you try booting from any of the 2 options ?
[06:27] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick Is this like a seperate log partition to keep track of the data that goes in and out of it?
[06:28] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, no MBR is master boot record which kinda contains your bootloader
[06:28] <apm1> in ubuntu's case GRUB
[06:28] <purplerain> cfhowlett: yes i did ran jockey, but the driver failed to install. do you want to look at log ?
[06:28] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 I am in the process of installing Ubuntu on the computer in question now, I'm booting normally from the default option usually.
[06:28] <cfhowlett> purplerain, nope.
[06:28] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 So this is what contains the code that tells the computer, "Hey, you can boot with this"?
[06:28] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  that portion is a catalog of all the locations of all the files on it ... so that information requires some space on the device ... therefore the device has less space for actual data
[06:28] <dell> apm1: i installed mesa-utils the other day to run WOW on wine.. could that be why it is broken?
[06:29] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, grub is the thing that boots the kernel
[06:29] <apm1> dell, not sure
[06:29] <UbuntuNewb> Tex_Nick Okay, I think I'm with you guys now.
[06:29] <cfhowlett> purplerain, here's what I did last time on lucid: download the iso and run the broadcom install *no internet access* method.  all the required files are in the 10.04 iso.  3 minuts of CLI work and I had wifi... didn't even need to to reboot.
[06:29] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 Gotchya.
[06:30] <YusufMH> Good morning, i've got a problem with intalling team speak 3
[06:30] <Tex_Nick> dell : no MBR is a small portion at the beginning of the device to point to the os loadersd
[06:31] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 Tex_Nick So this is basically how the drive gets from the BIOS and CMOS into the actual OS and GUI etc right?
[06:31] <YusufMH> Good morning, i've got a problem with intalling team speak 3,it's not .sh or .deb file,, I click on it and not working, although I'm sure i gave the file the permission to be executed, any idea friends?
[06:31] <purplerain> cfhowlett: Ok, is there open source driver for BCM4313? proprietary drivers like those for nvidia always gave me a headache :/
[06:31] <YusufMH> This link is a screenshot for Team speak 3 after the installation,, not running.. http://i46.tinypic.com/rszsdt.png
[06:31] <cfhowlett> purplerain, yes, broadcom has released their opensource driver.
[06:31] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, it isn't that simple since if you wanna learn it , if you wanna just know what it basically does then "yes "
[06:32] <YusufMH> Help please :S
[06:32] <cfhowlett> !patience|YusufMH,
[06:33] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 I was just making sure I was with you guys so far. So, when I made this thing into a boot disk, some of my information was missing because it created an MBR (namely, GRUB)?
[06:33] <YusufMH> Ok sorry.
[06:33] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  MBR is the first sector on a boot device that is read ... it then points to other locations of the device to continue loadfing the system
[06:34] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, i am not sure what exactly is your problem
[06:34] <purplerain> cfhowlett: i read the ubuntu broadcom wiki but it seems like no open source driver for BCM4313 and the proprietary ones had just fail to install. whats the possible solution?
[06:34] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb :  originally had two issues ...
[06:34] <vnc786> using ubuntu 12.04 64 bit gnome. when giving print(network printer) it gives error in ~/xsession-errors-->"gtk printer" only this two words. print status shows job completed. only solution i found till now is to logout and login again and it works fine. on google i didnt found any idea..
[06:34] <cfhowlett> !broadcom
[06:35] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb : (1)  Everytime I boot up my computer, it looks like all my files are encrypted and I have to run ecryptfs to get them running again
[06:35] <Tex_Nick> UbuntuNewb : (2) I'm trying to make a USB bootdisk, and it's telling me that it's capacity is 14.9 gigs when I know it is a 16 gig drive
[06:35] <cfhowlett> purplerain, as I said, I used the *no internet access* method and the 10.04 iso to install broadcom drivers.  Went swimmingly well and had full configuration in less than 5 minutes...
[06:35] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 The issues have been solved, I'm just listening to the explanation now.
[06:35] <apm1> purplerain, i have the same card on my macbookpro and the proprietary drivers are automatically installed (not even jockey interferes )
[06:36] <bizhanMona> HI Is anyone familiar with "boot-repair" utility? Thx
[06:36] <dr_willis> bizhanMona:  a great many people use it.
[06:36] <cfhowlett> purplerain, let's problem solve this.  run in a terminal   lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 and paste the output
[06:36] <purplerain> cfhowlett: i wonder which package is needed, cant do reinstall right now :/
[06:37] <purplerain> apm1: hows that possible when you dont even ran jockey? :o
[06:37] <bizhanMona> dr_willis: thx, I just install the DVD and booted. when I ran the boot-repair, it complains about not detecting internet. However I know my network is up? Thx
[06:37] <cfhowlett> !bootrepair|bizhanMona,
[06:38] <apm1> purplerain, i am not sure but the driver was there activated already in jockey all by itself
[06:38] <purplerain> 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

[06:39] <cfhowlett> purplerain, cool.  the STA -No Internet Access method is the one you want.  get a 10.04 iso and install that bad boy ... here's the link  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[06:40] <bizhanMona> !bootrepair
[06:40] <purplerain> cfhowlett: but i can't install lucid :(
[06:40] <apm1> purplerain, you don't have to
[06:40] <cfhowlett> purplerain, you don't NEED to install lucid, you just use the iso for the source files
[06:42] <purplerain> apm1, cfhowlett: ahh ok :D, can i just install the requeired packages? i dont have lucid iso with me right now :(
[06:42] <cfhowlett> purplerain, the required packages are available on the lucid iso
[06:43] <cfhowlett> purplerain, or you can install the linux STA driver ...
[06:44] <bizhanMona> I don't understand boot-repair comment: "Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources of ...." ? Thx
[06:44] <dr_willis> bizhanMona:  what ubuntu  version are you using?
[06:45] <purplerain> cfhowlett: it is the bcmwl-kernelsource am i right?
[06:45] <bizhanMona> dr_willis: the disk I am trying to recover is RHEL 6.2 but the DVD for boot-repair is ubuntu 12.10 ...
[06:45] <cfhowlett> purplerain, for the STA No internet access method that is correct.  Different methods, different software packages.  Don't confuse them.
[06:46] <dr_willis> bizhanMona:  im not sure boot-repair works for differnt distros other the ubuntu.  You may want to ask int he redhat channels how to best recover a RH install
[06:46] <dell> bizhanMona: if you download and use the first disk of slackware, it has a very simply boot repair utility... you can boot right into your system, and then run lilo
[06:46] <bizhanMona> dr_willis: thx will do.
[06:47] <apm1> dell, there is a slack cd iirc they only provide dvd images :p
[06:47] <bizhanMona> dell: will try to download the slackware, thx
[06:47] <dell> apm1: yes cd's as well
[06:47] <UbuntuNewb> I know have a working computer, yay me. And it turns out some of my text documents had a line added to them and were set to run as a program: mailto:trollingforsoup@gmail.com
[06:47] <UbuntuNewb> now have*
[06:48] <purplerain> cfhowlett: brb rebooting
[06:48] <cfhowlett> PL
[06:49] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, you were cracked
[06:49] <UbuntuNewb> I know.
[06:49] <apm1> how did you manage to put yourself at risk though ?
[06:49] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 All this started when I downloaded that torrent, so unless it was sleeping quietly I have no idea.
[06:50] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, on windows ?
[06:50] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 No, Ubuntu
[06:50] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, by any chance, do you run your admin account as your daily user account?
[06:50] <apm1> he most definitely runs a sudo account
[06:51] <UbuntuNewb> cfhowlett My login pass works for sudo commands? But I'm not running as root
[06:51] <TheCrownedFox> Hi, so I have ubuntu 12.04 running on a desktop that has currently frozen. I can only move the mouse around, however I can access it through ssh on my laptop. what processes should I kill/restart to fix a freeze commonly? I tried restarting unity but it restarts frozen again.
[06:52] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, but the account you run daily is your "admin" account and has admin privileges?  MIGHT want to use a non-privileged account for your daily computing...
[06:52] <dell> UbuntuNewb: if you want to learn linux start with slackware... ubuntu hides everything behind GUI
[06:52] <UbuntuNewb> cfhowlett Thanks :/
[06:52] <UbuntuNewb> dell Slackware. I'll look into that now.
[06:52] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, I might add, same advice for windows use
[06:53] <UbuntuNewb> cfhowlett I didn't realize I was at risk, I thought I would still have to type in my password for anything malicious
[06:53] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, have some fun.  Look at your user privileges, then apply your imagination to worst case scenarios
[06:54] <bizhanMona> Does ubuntu has the "grub-install" utility package?
[06:54] <dell> bizhanMona: lilo is like grub.. use that
[06:54] <UbuntuNewb> cfhowlett How much access is it possible that my cracker has had?
[06:54] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, i think he logged in from ssh
[06:54] <bizhanMona> dell: then one last request where can I download the slackware CD? Thx
[06:55] <bsmith093> i have mate, with 12.10, and xscreensaver. when i clse my laptop lid, i want the screen to lock and nothing else, but instead when i do that. there's a chanche that the screen wo'nt come back on when i re open the lid, is there a fix for this?
[06:55] <cfhowlett> UbuntuNewb, again, look at the privileges of the account you suspect has been cracked...
[06:55] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, in other words every damn thing
[06:55] <dell> UbuntuNewb: type w to see who is online in your system
[06:55] <dell> bizhanMona: www.slackware.com ... download the first CD only
[06:55] <cfhowlett> dell, is there a user log maintained for that w command??
[06:55] <UbuntuNewb> dell Is there a way to see who has been online?
[06:56] <UbuntuNewb> Er.. what he said.
[06:56] <bizhanMona> dell: thx
[06:56] <dell> UbuntuNewb: less /var/log/syslog
[06:57] <dell> UbuntuNewb: less /var/log/auth.log
[06:58] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, do you have gufw installed ?
[06:58] <UbuntuNewb> apm1 Not that I now of.
[06:59] <apm1> UbuntuNewb, run "sudo apt-get install gufw"

[07:03] <MasterOfDisaster> nitin__: is the host directly accessible from the internet? do you need to establish a vpn connection first?
[07:03] <MasterOfDisaster> nitin__: or perhaps sshd is listening on a non-standard port? Did "they" give you one?
[07:04] <nitin__> directly accessible
[07:04] <TheCrownedFox> Nevermind, I figured out why it was frozen. Everything returned to normal once I killed java. Is this something I should be worried about?
[07:04] <hillary> how to remove eclipse install in the opt folder ubuntu 12.04
[07:04] <hillary> any help?
[07:04] <diegojsRW> Hi. There are a software similar to CurrPorts, for Ubuntu Quantal Quetzal, to view realtime TCP connections?
[07:04] <UbuntuNewb> so with the thing open in my GUI ctr+f then type login and enter?
[07:04] <diegojsRW> I tried to emulate CurrPorts with Wine, but it doesn't works
[07:05] <dell> hillary: does "sudo apt-get remove eclipse" help?
[07:05] <dell> UbuntuNewb: yes same thing
[07:05] <MasterOfDisaster> diegojsRW: what about netstat or lsof?
[07:05] <UbuntuNewb> dell Mind if I open a private link with you so I don't spam?
[07:05] <dell> diegojsRW: type in terminal netstat -na
[07:06] <dell> UbuntuNewb: ok
[07:06] <diegojsRW> netstat is command-line. I want a GUI program that does it, in realtime (refreshing each N second)
[07:06] <dell> diegojsRW: search for it in www.freshmeat.net
[07:08] <MasterOfDisaster> nitin__: does 'telnet <ip> 22' give you anything?
[07:09] <dell> MasterOfDisaster: he is probably trying to upload an exploit to someone's system
[07:09] <YusufMH> Still waiting!
[07:10] <MasterOfDisaster> dell: haha poor bugger - got a shiny 0day exploit and no idea how to use it. What a shame :)
[07:10] <cfhowlett> YusufMH, might find better support directly from teamspeak ...
[07:10] <dell> MasterOfDisaster: heh
[07:10] <hillary> dell: Package eclipse is not installed, so not removed. But it is there
[07:10] <Senjai> Hello, I'm trying to uninstall 12.04 LTS (its not working well) and install the latest version. When i previously did this (I think with 10.x) someone here reccomened a program that both could remove the partition, AND fix the MBR / boot issues. Does anyone know about this method?
[07:11] <Senjai> I'm more concerned about the MBR, as I can simply just delete the Ubuntu partition, I'm trying to avoid the system repair disc
[07:11] <TheLordOfTime> hillary, what likely happened is it was installed by hand from source, rather than dpkg, if you're saying it exists but apt-get/dpkg say otherwise
[07:11] <cfhowlett> YusufMH, furthermore, as the channel takes queries, YOUR question gets scrolled up and out of view.  Re-ask your question at reasonable intervals for best results.
[07:11] <dell> hillary: after you type  sudo apt-get remove eclipse, hit on tab twice while your cursor is still right after "eclipse"
[07:11] <cfhowlett> Senjai, you don't need to unintstall, just install the 12.10 over 12.04 ...
[07:12] <dell> hillary: alternatively, open ubuntu software center, and search for "eclipse".. when you find it uninstall
[07:12] <Senjai> cfhowlett, but 12.04 is running horribly slow. I think there was issues when I was installing it the first time. So i'd like to run a fresh install
[07:12] <hillary> TheLordOfTime: you are correct . I installed by hand
[07:12] <YusufMH> Sorry for being rude S:,, i will repost it,,,
[07:12] <YusufMH> Good morning, i've got a problem with intalling team speak 3,it's not .sh or .deb file,, I click on it and not working, although I'm sure i gave the file the permission to be executed, any idea friends?
[07:12] <diegojsRW> I found NetActViewer, but in another site. I'm downloading it and i'll test it. Thanks anyway
[07:13] <cfhowlett> Senjai, ok then reinstall, manually select your partitions and format those partitions.  previous install and configurations get wiped ...
[07:13] <MasterOfDisaster> YusufMH: run 'file' on it, what does it say?
[07:13] <YusufMH> command not found.
[07:13] <dell> hillary:  just do a "ps xa" then delete all the files you see in there that you think is related to eclipse... or just do: sudo rm `which eclipse` .. if it is a binary
[07:14] <TheLordOfTime> hillary, by hand as in you downloaded the files and moved them around per eclipse's installation guides?
[07:14] <Senjai> cfhowlett, okay, but the second part of my question is fixing the boot record (as ubuntu modifies it). I guess this is more of a windows issue and i understand if it cannot be answered here. I was given an exe that simply autorestored it without having to use a sys repair disk
[07:14] <cfhowlett> Senjai, does everything currently boot?
[07:14] <MasterOfDisaster> YusufMH: sudo apt-get install file ; file <yourfile>
[07:14] <Senjai> Yes
[07:14] <Senjai> Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04
[07:14] <hillary> TheLordOfTime: yes
[07:14] <Senjai> cfhowlett, I think the problem with 10.10 (i think) was GRUB, i noticed that there is no Grub this time)
[07:15] <cfhowlett> Senjai, ok then, when the installation reaches that point, install grub  to /dev/sda and you should be fine...
[07:15] <cfhowlett> Senjai, you're reinstalling 12.04?
[07:15] <chaz68> Any of you folks run the Ubuntu / Debian install method for Ajaxplorer here recently?   http://ajaxplorer.info/download/
[07:15] <YusufMH> MasterOfDisaster it says : E: Unable to locate package /home/yusuf/Downloads
[07:15] <Senjai> cfhowlett, I want to remove 12.04, and install 12.10 (i think thats the current version)
[07:15] <YusufMH> but it's in the downloads folder.
[07:15] <chaz68> It works but I've got some errors...
[07:16] <MasterOfDisaster> YusufMH: if the filename contains spaces, run 'file "filename"'
[07:16] <cfhowlett> Senjai, ok, same process.  the current boot/grub will get overwritten by the 12.10 installation
[07:16] <TheLordOfTime> hillary, you'll have to remove them by hand then, or use dell's suggesteion
[07:16] <cfhowlett> Senjai, note: you will be MANUALLY partitioning.  do NOT format your windows, of course
[07:16] <chaz68> Specifically can't run the "runTests.php" diagnostics after the first run anymore in Ajaxplorer.
[07:17] <YusufMH>  MasterOfDisaster This is how I runned the command, looks wrong right? how is the right way?
[07:17] <Senjai> cfhowlett, I know how to remove the 12.04 partition. Should I just format it, install 12.10 in its place (without adjusting the partition)
[07:17] <YusufMH> sudo apt-get install '/home/yusuf/Downloads/Teamspeak_3-3.0.2-Linux-x86-Install'
[07:17] <Senjai> and rely on 12.10 to fix the boot record?
[07:17] <Senjai> Aka, just as long as I dont shut down between removing 12.04 and installing 12.10 i should be fine
[07:17] <chaz68> Platform = 12.04LTS in a VM under VMware V 9.X.
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Senjai, stock ubuntu partition should require about 8 gigs for the /
[07:18] <Senjai> cfhowlett, the one it has allocated atm is 100 gigs
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Senjai, as you're clean installing, yes, format the /
[07:18] <cfhowlett> Senjai, I was speaking ONLY of the / not the /home or data storage.
[07:19] <Senjai> cfhowlett,  I found the program i was previously suggested
[07:19] <cfhowlett> Senjai, as you're reinstalling you might wish to consider making a separate /home for your user data.
[07:19] <Senjai> cfhowlett, http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ for your records, thanks for your help though.
[07:19] <cfhowlett> Senjai, best of luck
[07:19] <Senjai> cfhowlett, I have all my user data backed up to my windows partition for the reinstall
[07:20] <Senjai> I just mounted it in Ubuntu

[07:20] <ClientAlive> I'm having trouble finding any instruction on installing oracle jdk-7 and java EE on ubuntu. I run 12.04 desktop and I've had it so that I didn't have to remove openjdk before. I remember doing something in update-alternatives and being able to keep both but use oracle as the default. Can someone help me understand how to do this?
[07:20] <diegojsRW> To do it, you have to have Windows DVD, to use "Recovery options"
[07:21] <diegojsRW> This assuming you cannot boot onto windows
[07:21] <chaz68> ClientAlive:  There is a repository for Oracle 7.  Let me find it.  Think I have a link...  It's not ubuntu official repository though...
[07:21] <ikonia> ClientAlive: you can install it, the alternatives file just creates symlinks from java to /usr/local/java - or where ever you put it
[07:21] <chaz68> Oracle Java sdk 7 that is...
[07:21] <ClientAlive> this is fine. Is perfect. thank you
[07:21] <diegojsRW> If you can boot onto windows naturally, then you can do it from a Command prompt inside Windows environment
[07:22] <ClientAlive> sweet
[07:22] <diegojsRW> The program used is "bcdedit.exe"
[07:23] <ClientAlive> chaz68: Is it this?  ppa:webupd8team/java
[07:24] <hillary>  what command do i use to completely remove  eclipse directory inside opt folder
[07:24] <ikonia> hillary: rm -rf directory_name
[07:24] <TheLordOfTime> ClientAlive, yes it is
[07:24] <chaz68> Yep:  That's the one:  Instructions I used are here and elsewhere... http://www.blogs.digitalworlds.net/softwarenotes/2013/01/28/install-java-jdk-7-for-ubuntu-12-04/

[07:29] <hillary> any help
[07:29] <ikonia> if you don't know if it's the right one, or how to use it you should not be doing it
[07:29] <TheLordOfTime> agreed with ikonia
[07:29] <ikonia> ClientAlive: you really need to research what you've got and how to use it before considering using it

[07:30] <UltraParadigm> Hi everyone!
[07:30] <Rakko> hi UltraParadigm
[07:31] <Rakko> I wish I could remember the question I came in here to answer
[07:31] <Rakko> oh! that's it.
[07:31] <ClientAlive> ikonia: true - not what I needed to hear. I'm overwhelemed wtih the stuff I already have on my plate. I just want a dev environment I can satisfy my curiosities with. I hope no one is going to expect I become and expert in java development before having jave ee on my machine - else how would I become that expert anyway?
[07:31] <Rakko> First, is there a way to ask ubottu for FAQs? I /msged ubottu help but got no response.
[07:31] <ClientAlive> pointless to argue I guess. seems I'm on my own again.
[07:32] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I have created a /tmp partition in ram.  How do I get rid of the old /tmp that was in my root folder?  I presume it is still there taking up space.
[07:32] <ikonia> ClientAlive: you don't have to be an expert, but a.) knowing how to use the file you are trying to use b.) knowing if it's the right version are critical
[07:32] <ikonia> ClientAlive: as you know neither of these things, I'd suggest at least a basic level of research
[07:32] <ikonia> Rakko: there is no "FAQ"
[07:32] <ikonia> !faq > Rakko
[07:32] <Rakko> thanks
[07:33] <Rakko> dsnyders: you have to unmount the /tmp; that will unshadow it so you see what's there under /tmp on the root partition
[07:33] <Rakko> delete that stuff and then remount /tmp
[07:33] <hillary> I have been using winff to convert mp4 to mp3 etc ubuntu 12.04, but it is no longer converting. what could have happened?
[07:33] <dsnyders> Rakko: /me slaps forehead.  Now why didn't I think of that.
[07:35] <Rakko> OK, I think I'll just ask. -> How do I make mouse scrolling work the old fashioned way, i.e. where scrolling starts instantly instead of requiring a little movement before it gets started?
[07:35] <hillary> ikonia: any idea, i have been using winff to convert mp4 to mp3 etc ubuntu 12.04, but it is no longer converting. what could have happened?
[07:36] <dr_willis> hillary:  have winff show its  commandline/terminal window its using and look at the command output
[07:36] <joy> Hi !
[07:36] <cfhowlett> joy, greetings
[07:38] <UltraParadigm> I just reinstalled Ubuntu.. again. Its like the 5th time in just 2 weeks
[07:38] <UltraParadigm> This time I'm trying Studio64, cause I totally effed up the sound in my regular 12.10.   Sofar, I don't miss unity at all.
[07:39] <UltraParadigm> But I do think I'll get KVirc again.  Xchat isn't impressing me
[07:39] <dr_willis> irc clients dont need to be impressive.. just functional. ;0
[07:39] <hillary> dr_willis, : it display: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1584717/
[07:40] <UltraParadigm> nah nah, they need to have bells, and whistles, and real transparancy.
[07:40] <UltraParadigm> but especially the whistles!
[07:40] <dr_willis> hillary:  but does the command succede
[07:41] <UltraParadigm> I just went through the trouble of getting compiz to work with xfcse, no way am I ending up with an ugly irc.
[07:41] <hillary> dr_willis,  no
[07:42] <dr_willis> try the commands from a bash shell and see if they work. and what errors they give
[07:42] <hillary> dr_willis,  infact it has hanged up. Guide me how to
[07:42] <UltraParadigm> I've reinstalled Ubuntu so many times since I built my new PC that I'm almost ready to install it for other people for a fee :-)  I have a checklist and everything.  I've gotten quite efficient at it.
[07:47] <hillary> how do i kill a hanging process ubuntu 12.04. i window has refused to close!
[07:47] <dr_willis> xkill is one way  hillary
[07:47] <dr_willis> kill -9 , or killall are other ways
[07:49] <hillary> dr_willis, wonderfull lesson!! it has closed
[07:49] <ragz> How do i access domains across two ubuntu machines on the same network?
[07:50] <hillary> dr_willis, still the winff not converting. And it used to convert.
[07:50] <jarray52> I previously had the ATI catalyst driver working on this machine(has a switchable GPU Intel/ATI) on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. After an upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the 3.5.0-22 kernel, I can't recall how I got the ATI radeon drivers working. Any suggestions?
[07:51] <jarray52> I believe my machine is currently using the i915 intel driver.
[07:53] <jarray52> I also had problems with the fglrx drivers provided by the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS repositories.
[07:53] <dsnyders> Rakko: Thanks for your assistance re /tmp.  I had to shut down a few services, like mysql and Xorg, but once I got them shut down I was able to unmount/delete/remount /tmp.
[07:54] <MasterOfDisaster> UltraParadigm: irssi + transparent konsole? *hides*
[07:54] <Rakko> cool, dsnyders
[07:54] <UltraParadigm> I switched back to kvirc
[07:55] <Rakko> this scrolling is driving me nuts
[07:55] <UltraParadigm> console irc, eww, haven't done that in years
[07:55] <UltraParadigm> Wont go back to it
[07:55] <Rakko> I just started liking irssi
[07:55] <dsnyders> Rakko, what scrolling?
[07:56] <hillary> This winff has refused!
[07:56] <UltraParadigm> I used to do iirc back in the days when I used pine to check my email.  hehe
[07:56] <dr_willis> hillary:  if the command that winff is using dosent work. it hangs.. then its not a winff issue
[07:56] <Rakko> dsnyders: whenever I scroll in ubuntu 12.10 it takes me quite a bit of effort before the scrolling actually starts. I'm not sure if that's related to my running this on a Mac or in VirtualBox, or if all scrolling is like this now.
[07:56] <dr_willis> hillary:  winff is just a front end to the cli tools. that command you pasted is doing the actual work
[07:56] <UltraParadigm> I kind of miss pine
[07:57] <Rakko> I think it's supposed to be imitating tablet scrolling, but I'm not sure. I wish I knew some search terms to use to fix it.
[07:57] <UltraParadigm> I have fond memories of pine.  I did some good email reading with that.
[07:57] <Rakko> I still like mutt
[07:57] <Rakko> but anyway I have to do the two-finger swipe *halfway* across my trackpad for scrolling to even start
[07:58] <Rakko> is there a name for this?
[07:58] <dsnyders> Rakko: Is scrolling responsive with your mouse?
[07:58] <Rakko> I haven't tried a mouse
[07:58] <hillary> I will never ever install any software outside ubuntu software center. Am sure i might have messed up myself!!
[07:58] <opalepatrick> trying to track down a problem with the hud opening behind applications on boot (also launcher) - only gets fixed on logout. Trying to work out if a bug has been raised. Obviously not asking the right question.
[07:59] <opalepatrick> launcher opens behind as well*
[07:59] <Kartagis> !ati
[07:59] <dr_willis> hillary:  your imporntant part is --> /usr/bin/ffmpeg -y -i "/home/hillary/Desktop/Muziki/AVSEQ01.mp4" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 160k -ac 2 -ar 44100 "/home/hillary/AVSEQ01.mp3"
[07:59] <dsnyders> Rakko, Plug one in and try.  That would tell you if it is the virtualbox or the trackpad gesture.
[07:59] <dr_willis> somthing may be goofy with the ffmpeg command or the options
[07:59] <UltraParadigm> Alright, automatic nick serv works.  And everyting is as it should be.  The universe is back in balance.    Now to test the one thing that I reinstalled studio for.    jack
[08:00]  * Rakko facepalms
[08:00] <dr_willis> vbox has 2 kinds of mouse polling also.. it can goof up in some areas
[08:00] <hillary> dr_willis, can i remove and reinstall again?
[08:01] <Rakko> problem is I don't know where my mouse is
[08:01] <Rakko> dr_willis, dsnyders: so I gather that neither of you notice the annoying before I'm describing?
[08:03] <quietone> my partner just booted laptop, closed lid, opened lid. Now the screen is blank and kybd unresponsive. Dell Inspiron 15R, 12.04
[08:04] <dsnyders> Rakko, nope.  Mostly because I'm running linux directly on standard PC desktop hardware, including a mouse.  Maybe later, when I get virtualbox going, I might notice it... if I had a trackpad.
[08:04] <quietone> it is set to not suspend when lid is closed
[08:05] <dr_willis> hillary:  removeing and reinstalling the same binaryes dosent change anything.. thats windows thinking...
[08:05] <dr_willis> hillary:  try the command from the terminal. see if it works
[08:06] <dr_willis> Rakko:  ive noticed in some disrtos (like tiny core linux) in vbox I have to enable some mouse settings or sles the pointers are off position. but ive never noticed the issue in ubuntu in vbox
[08:06] <Rakko> ok
[08:07] <hillary> dr_willis, which command please
[08:07] <quietone> Is this the problem "apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1 profile="/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm/lightdm-guest-session-wrapper""
[08:07] <dr_willis> hillary:  the one i pasted above.. the MAIN command of the pastebin you did...
[08:07] <UltraParadigm> quietone:  You should disable the sleepmode at laptop close then.  Probably can't handle it.
[08:07] <dsnyders> Rakko: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36376 maybe?
[08:08] <quietone> UltraParadigm, we don't recall seeing anything for 'sleepmode'. Where is that?
[08:08] <UltraParadigm> quietone:  also, sometimes a bios upgrade will help.
[08:09] <Rakko> dsnyders: could be the same thing
[08:09] <UltraParadigm> quietone: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66723/how-do-i-modify-the-power-options
[08:10] <dsnyders> Rakko: Is the trackpad sensitive enough for normal operations?  Is it just sluggish in virtualbox?
[08:11] <quietone> UltraParadigm, ah, I'll install the tweak tool
[08:11] <Rakko> yeah, in native OS X it's fine
[08:11] <Rakko> and in my Windows VMware VM
[08:12] <quietone> UltraParadigm, I'm sshed into it. is there anything I can do, besides shutdown -r now, to make it usable?
[08:12] <UltraParadigm> there is also another tool option also, if the gnome tweek doens't work.
[08:12] <dsnyders> Rakko: Have you tried asking on a virtualbox chat channel?
[08:12] <UltraParadigm> probably not.  I'm suprised that you can even remote to it
[08:13] <UltraParadigm> if you can indeed remote to it, you can kill the xserver
[08:13] <UltraParadigm> that might help
[08:13] <quietone> UltraParadigm, I'm not fluent in x. how do I do that?
[08:13] <UltraParadigm> run "ps -e | grep X"
[08:14] <UltraParadigm> and then take note of the process number
[08:14] <UltraParadigm> then run "kill -9 [PID]"
[08:15] <Rakko> not yet
[08:15] <Rakko> I've reinstalled guest additions and about to reboot
[08:16] <dsnyders> UltraParadigm: doesn't service gdm stop terminate the xserver?
[08:16] <quietone> UltraParadigm, it makes the login sound but the kybd and screen are still dead.
[08:16] <sweetpea> how long is it meant to take to make a ubuntu usb
[08:16] <UltraParadigm> dsnyders: beats me :-).  I alway kill it when it freezes on me, then it just restarts automatically
[08:16] <sweetpea> i just downloaded it and its taking like 10 minutes so far
[08:17] <UltraParadigm> quietone: ahh, sounds like you are screwed.  I recommend getting a bios update from the manufacturer's website.
[08:17] <hillary> dr_willis,  when i pasted in the terminal it works very well. Look at the terminal output while converting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1584771/
[08:17] <np8> Hi! Could anyone here help me with a partition problem? I have a 30Gb Ubuntu partition (/dev/sda6, ext4). I just took a 80Gb of space from my Windows data -partition, and now it is shown as "unallocated" in GParted. Is there a way to add this 80Gb to be in Ubuntu's use? A screenshot of my partitions (GParted) http://ubuntuone.com/1TjFW2bSBNm0n9XDTUFNe1 (sorry, it's in Finnish)
[08:17] <UltraParadigm> If that doesn't fix the issue, then you will have no choice but to disable the sleeping
[08:17] <quietone> dsnyders, there isn't a gdm but there is lightdm
[08:17] <prih> ciao
[08:18] <iceroot> np8: just use the resize function from gparted
[08:18] <sweetpea> it sounds like youve accidently deleted the windows ntfs partition
[08:18] <iceroot> np8: and resize the ubuntu partition with the unallocated
[08:19] <sweetpea> ow im dumb lol
[08:19] <dsnyders> quietone: That would be your desktop manager.  Gdm is (or was) gnome's.
[08:19] <np8> iceroot: It doesn't work because I can't detach the Ubuntu partition, because it is in use. :/
[08:19] <cfhowlett> np8, you can do so by moving the free partition next to the one you want to add it to.
[08:20] <quietone> dsnyders, yea I used to have to restart gdm a lot on my Debian wheezy.
[08:20] <iceroot> np8: use a live-system
[08:20] <iceroot> np8: never change a partition which is in use
[08:21] <np8> iceroot: What's a live-system?
[08:21] <np8> cfhowlett: The Ubuntu partition is un use, so it doesn't work
[08:21] <dsnyders> np8: linux on cd or linux on usb flash
[08:21] <iceroot> np8: use the ubuntu-iso and start it instead of your installed system, that system will be running directly from you ram
[08:21] <Rakko> nope, that didn't fix it.
[08:21] <antonio_> I'm trying to install adobe air...
[08:21] <iceroot> np8: and so your hdd is not mounted and you can change it
[08:21] <Rakko> Oh well, tomorrow I may find my mouse.
[08:22] <cfhowlett> np8, right.  my bad..  boot an ubuntu usb/cd and run gparted
[08:22] <dsnyders> Rakko: :-(  I'm out of ideas, other than trying a virtualbox chat channel.
[08:22] <cfhowlett> dsnyders, #vobx
[08:22] <cfhowlett> #vbox
[08:23] <Guido1> anyone online who knows a bit about rhythmbox? I'm just working on a crone script, but got stuck at the coment to start a playlist with rhythmbox. the playlist is in the home folder
[08:23] <Rakko> cfhowlett: he meant for me to go there
[08:23] <Rakko> I was in #vbox but it was dead. I was asking a different question there.
[08:23] <np8> cfhowlett, iceroot: I dont have the iso (or a cd-drive, or usb-stick) right now, but is it possible to do this during a reboot?
[08:23] <iceroot> np8: no
[08:24] <cfhowlett> np8, nope.  bad bad bad idea
[08:24] <iceroot> np8: because the hdd will be mounted when you want to start gparted
[08:24] <dsnyders> Rakko, google for the chat channel.  The one here may not be the best/official one.
[08:25] <np8> iceroot, cfhowlett: Ok thanks you guys :) I'll do this when I get home
[08:25] <cub> how do uninstall x?
[08:25] <ripthejacker> i use grep with colorize option but when i pipe it to less it removes the color
[08:25] <dr_willis> cub:  why do you need to?
[08:25] <ripthejacker>  how do i mkae it to keep the colo
[08:25] <TomyLobo> cub: apt-get remove x
[08:25] <cub> just a troll q, dr_willis  :P jk
[08:25] <ripthejacker> *color
[08:25] <cub> im here to help today if i can
[08:25] <cub> haha
[08:26] <dr_willis> ripthejacker:  since less cant display colors.. that makes sence. there might be a color option for less or more.
[08:26] <TomyLobo> dr_willis ripthejacker -R
[08:26] <ripthejacker> but will it colorize only the patterns that grep matched
[08:26] <dr_willis> -r  -R  ....  --raw-control-chars  --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS
[08:26] <antonio_> I'm trying to install adobe air...I've followed these directions..and its not working
[08:27] <TomyLobo> less -R will pass through the colors
[08:27] <Rakko> dr_willis: less *can* display colors
[08:27] <dr_willis> antonio_:  last i looked adobe air has worked on linux in like over a year..
[08:27] <Rakko> sorry, spoke too late
[08:27] <TomyLobo> grep --color=always will make grep emit colors even if it detects a pipe
[08:27] <TomyLobo> gotta run, see ya
[08:27] <Rakko> air has *not* worked on linux in over a year
[08:28] <antonio_> dr_willis: I've gotten it to work before..just can't remember how...
[08:28] <antonio_> I had to make a symbolic link with this command
[08:28] <antonio_> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
[08:28] <antonio_> ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0': File exis
[08:28] <dsnyders> dr_willis: TomyLobo, I've been looking for that for a while, but never got around to asking.
[08:28] <dr_willis>  ls --color=always | less -R
[08:28] <antonio_> how can I delete that symbolic link so I can start over?
[08:28] <dr_willis> rm thelink
[08:28] <ripthejacker> dr_willis, yes that worked
[08:28] <ripthejacker> grep --color-always | less -R
[08:28] <ripthejacker> :)
[08:28] <dr_willis> without the -R - it shows the esc codes
[08:29]  * dsnyders goes to alias less with less -R
[08:29] <dr_willis> i wonder ls and grep  detect they are being piped
[08:29] <ripthejacker> thanks dr_willis , TomyLobo
[08:31] <Rakko> you can also set the LESS env var to -R
[08:32] <dsnyders> dr_willis: they probably detect pipes and shut down coloring because they date back to the days when you piped output to terminals and printers and modems and such.
[08:32] <Rakko> grep also has an env var like that, but I found that if I set it to always send color, some programs calling grep would break
[08:33] <Rakko> dsnyders: even today, piping to other processes is mostly done without color. It would be a huge mess for the pipee to have to decipher the color codes.
[08:33] <dsnyders> true
[08:34] <Guido1> what is the coment to tell crontab to start a playlist in the home directory with rhythmbox
[08:34] <Guido1> ?
[08:34] <Rakko> ls also changes its output to one name per line
[08:35] <dsnyders> Well, I have to be up in 4 hrs, so g'night folks.
[08:36] <atsui> I am currently connected via VNC to a Ubuntu 12.04 machine running vnc4server. I can see the VNC service running with  nmap  as expected. However, when I run "sudo ufw status verbose", it shows that only ports 22 nd 8080 are set as ALLOW IN and the default policy for incoming is set to deny. How come I am allowed to connect?
[08:37] <Ben64> !ufw | atsui
[08:39] <atsui> ubottu, so even though ufw should block the VNC connection, would it be possible the rules for iptables still let in VNC?
[08:39] <atsui> doh lol
[08:40] <adamlis> Hey. I have a Ubuntu Server that I really like. I want to setup a PXE-boot for windows 7 for a few computers here at work without cd-rom.. does anyone know of a good guide? i've tried googling and using the man commando

[08:52] <Rakko> bye
[08:52] <Nitesh> +i Nitesh
[08:53] <Nitesh> hi
[08:53] <cfhowlett> Nitesh, greetings
[08:53] <Nitesh> is there any girl for chat
[08:55] <Ben64> this channel is for ubuntu support only, not for chatting
[08:55] <Nitesh> hi i am Nitesh ...
[08:55] <cfhowlett> Nitesh, wrong channel
[08:57] <cub> how o i install xubuntu on this...
[08:57] <cub> well i mean the desktop environment
[08:57] <cub> i forgot the name of it :\
[08:58] <cfhowlett> cub, 2 choices: pure xfce or xubuntu
[08:58] <cub> well xfce
[08:58] <Guido1> hello?anyone with experinces in starting a playlist in rhythmbox with cron?
[08:58] <cfhowlett> cub, sudo apt-get install xfce will give you DE only, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will give you xubuntu
[08:59] <cub> it wont ruin my unity install will it?
[08:59] <Ben64> cfhowlett, cub: xfce4, not just xfce
[08:59] <Nitesh> #ubuntu
[08:59] <cub> okay, but if i install Xubuntu, can i still log into the unity environment?
[08:59] <Ben64> cub: yes, you can choose before you log in
[09:00] <cub> okay i'll install xubuntu
[09:01] <Ben64> only problem with doing xubuntu-desktop is that you'll have duplicates of certain things, like text editors and whatnot
[09:01] <cub> can that be correcteed Ben64 ?
[09:01] <ClientAlive> This is simply too confusing to me. I NEED to have java sdk and ee installed for school projects. I don't have time to research it the project is coming due. I beg of you. Is there anyone who will help me?
[09:02] <Ben64> cub: well if you don't want two text editors and stuff like that, just install xfce4
[09:02] <cub> when u say two text editors you mean literaly two of the same program?
[09:02] <Sling> ClientAlive: if you still need to install the sdk/ee when your project is almost due, how is that our problem?
[09:04] <ClientAlive> bc damit I came askoing politely for help earlier and all I got was I need to explain how to use it like I'm some expert or I shouldn't be messing wtih it. Damit it's mot my fault if I don't know everythign abotu java ee. i still have to have it. When I asked nicely earlier I didn't expect to get a debate about whether I should be installig it. I have to install it.
[09:04] <cub> if i dont like xubuntu i can uninstall it via 'remove' correct?
[09:04] <cub> apt-get remove <package>?
[09:04] <ClientAlive> I don't uderstand what I'm seeing on google Ifor the last hour) lord knows I tried
[09:04] <cfhowlett> cub, sudo apt-get purge xfce
[09:04] <cub> okay
[09:04] <pixie_dust> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu on my pc, im havving too many issues with getting it on my laptop at the moment, but on my pc i install the flgx? or whattever driver, for my graphics, and when i restarted i had no desktop,
[09:05] <ClientAlive> 1698 other ppl and the only ones will talk to me want to give me shit?
[09:05] <hammerAndsickle> Where is terminal located in the GUI?
[09:05] <cfhowlett> ClientAlive, attitude is everything
[09:05] <Ben64> cub: not really.... xubuntu-desktop is a meta package, installs many other ones. if you keep a list of what it installs you can undo it
[09:05] <cfhowlett> cub, if you want JUST the de, install xfce
[09:05] <pixie_dust> so i rightclicked and went to appearance and navigated back to software sources and set it back to xorg, they are the only 2 drivers in addition drivers so what drivers should i use
[09:05] <DaemonicApathy> hammerAndsickle: click on the ubuntu logo at the top left, type in "terminal" and click on the correct icon.
[09:05] <cub> okay well i'll give it a shot
[09:05] <cub> its not that it will bother me just that this hd is so small
[09:05] <cub> i need to upgrade it
[09:06] <DaemonicApathy> I feel the same way about my SSD, cub.
[09:06] <cub> 15gb hard drive...
[09:06] <cub> theres a place here selling 80 gb hard drives for 15 dollars tho
[09:06] <cub> gonna try getting a hold of one
[09:07] <antonio_> I'm trying to install Adobe Air on my system...it works fine, then a terminal window pops up asking me for root password...when I put in the root password it says su: Authentication Failure
[09:07] <antonio_> http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshotfrom2013-01-28230338_zpsf82819a3.png
[09:07] <hammerAndsickle> Thanks Daemonic, So there is no icon based app system like OSX?
[09:07] <Guido1> hello? anyone with experinces in starting a playlist in rhythmbox with cron?
[09:08] <Guido1> what is the coment to start a playlist located in the home folder?
[09:08] <antonio_> I'm using the right password, so I have no idea whats going on
[09:08] <elblaze0> <---------------installing ubuntu 12.04  on virtual box right now for first time  =]
[09:09] <cub> well brb
 <---------------installing ubuntu 12.04  on virtual box right now for first time  =]
[09:10] <elblaze0> any advice?
[09:10] <away> regarding?
[09:10] <elblaze0> DLing iso now
[09:11] <elblaze0> going on win 7 64 machine
[09:12] <hammerAndsickle> It's funny that the Ubuntu that comes with Parallels has so many updates after you install it
[09:12] <tapas> hi, are there repositories to install qt5 on ubuntu 12.04?
[09:12] <DaemonicApathy> hammerAndsickle: The Dash is replacing much of the menu system in Ubuntu.
[09:12] <hammerAndsickle> You'd think they would keep that version updated on their servers
[09:12] <DaemonicApathy> You can still go through categories and lists with it if you want, though.
[09:13] <cfhowlett> tapas, it's not in the repos
[09:13] <hammerAndsickle> so it's evolving into more of a search based GUI
[09:13] <tapas> cfhowlett: yeah, i saw though that there are ppa's for ubuntu 12.10
[09:14] <antonio_> I'm trying to install Adobe Air on my system...it works fine, then a terminal window pops up asking me for root password...when I put in the root password it says su: Authentication Failure
[09:14] <antonio_> http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Screenshotfrom2013-01-28230338_zpsf82819a3.png
[09:14] <DaemonicApathy> hammerAndsickle: Assuming the standard user only uses a small subset of apps on a regular basis, all the necessary ones will be right there.
[09:14] <pixie_dust> basicly i have an amd graphics card, i installed the fglrx driver, and compiz/unity disnt start when i turned my pc on, so which driver should i use, the xorg one makes my pc slow >_>
[09:14] <DaemonicApathy> hammerAndsickle: And one may always pin an app to the launcher at the left.
[09:14] <cfhowlett> tapas, I run LTS only, so I have 12.044, but I will put 12.10 in a virtualbox
[09:15] <hammerAndsickle> yeah i think that way is more efficient, just curious about the evolution of the system
[09:15] <elblaze0> 12.10 better for virtual box cfhowlett?
[09:16] <dr_willis> antonio_:  run the installer as root to begin with perhaps
[09:16] <dr_willis> antonio_:  its trying to su to root i imagine. which is explicitly disabled on ubuntu
[09:18] <tapas> cfhowlett: we have 12.04 here, too
[09:19] <antonio_> dr_willis: I'm not sure what the command line for adobe air would be...is there anyway to find that on my system?
[09:19] <tapas> cfhowlett: so the ppa's aren't useful.. we'll just go with the qt binary download from qt.org
[09:19] <cfhowlett> elblaze0, I can't say, I only use the virtualbox for testing.  It takes the virtualbox guest addition though
[09:20] <elblaze0> cfhowlett thank you for the info. much appreciated.. first install..
[09:21] <cfhowlett> elblaze0, might I suggest you go with 12.04 long term support.  Unless you actually NEED the bleeding edge of 12.10 ...
[09:21] <elblaze0> ok thank you i will try that
[09:22] <jsjc> I am going nuts with an error (CRON) error (grandchild #6871 failed with exit status 127)
[09:22] <elblaze0> cfhowlett would you say there is a big difference in features and support regarding newer version?
[09:22] <jsjc> have checked online and there is info but none of it fits my problem...
[09:23] <jsjc> I can run command d
[09:23] <jsjc> I can run command with the user that I run the cron task but seems something else.
[09:24] <cfhowlett> elblaze0, support: 12.10 is supported for 18 months, 12.04 for 60 months.  Features: some.  It's really up to the user.  Installing every new version means angst and potential heartburn every 6 months.  Installing LTS only means a more polished version with long term support and lifespan ..
[09:24] <dr_willis> anderson:  no idea. I gaave up on air ages ago. I recall getting itinstalled and it still dident work
[09:24] <dr_willis> oops. that was for antonio_
[09:25] <elblaze0> ok thank you very much DLing 12.04 now instead
[09:26] <antonio_> dr_willis: I know it will work, because I
[09:26] <antonio_> because I installed it recently...just can't remember how
[09:26] <phrozen> hello, I havea problemwith apache + mod_fcgid configuration. Still getting error premature end of scripts. It is quite strange, becouse application runs successfully under centos. Permissions 777 Configuration files attached here: http://pastebin.com/2ZwVG0Mg. Can somebody help me?
[09:26] <cfhowlett> elblaze0, good luck.
[09:26] <phrozen> I am trying to migrate to ubuntu already.
[09:28] <Guido1> hello, i'm just working on a cron script, but got stuck at the coment to start a playlist with rhythmbox. the playlist is in the home folder. can someone help me?
[09:29] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: httpd seems fine to me - is the python interpreter set up in the directory that's listed in the fcgi script?
[09:30] <kostkon> Guido1, what's your problem exactly
[09:30] <Pangolin> hello, who else is scratching their head and wondering why QQ 12.10 makes previously simple nvidia driver installation really difficult? I know that proprietary drivers are not the Ubuntu dev's responsibility, but I don't get the removal of Jockey
[09:30] <phrozen> MasterOfDisaster: Interpreter is fine
[09:31] <Guido1> kostkon: rhythmbox is starting, but it doesn't play the playlist
[09:31] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: I suggest searching serverfault or stackoverflow for advice on how to troubleshoot this. Without any debugging output or logfile excerpts it's hard to help
[09:31] <Pangolin> followed loads of guides and tried at least three different versions of the nvidia driver including experimental-304 and 310 (and of course current)
[09:31] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4336757/500-server-error-premature-end-of-script-headers
[09:31] <Ben64> Pangolin: its not very difficult
[09:32] <kostkon> Guido1, are you calling rhytmbox or rhythmbox-client?
[09:32] <Pangolin> it has been for me, I keep having to revert to nouveau to get Unity back
[09:32] <belgianguy> is iptables still seen as secure?
[09:32] <Ben64> Pangolin: need help?
[09:33] <Pangolin> not at that machine now but I'd welcome any suggestions
[09:33] <belgianguy> (I ask because I'm reading a 3yr old book, which references it)
[09:33] <Pangolin> I've also tried with Bumblebee
[09:33] <Guido1> kostkon: at client;  i gues something is wrong with "play-uri=file:home/Lahannya-Dystopia.m3u"
[09:33] <Ben64> Pangolin: do you have dual gpu
[09:33] <kostkon> Guido1, do you start rhythmbox first?
[09:33] <Ben64> Guido1: that file probably doesn't exist
[09:33] <Pangolin> yes, Dell XPS L510x with Intel GMA and a mid-range nvidia GT540M
[09:34] <xkernel> what is the impact of disabling the avahi-daemon ?
[09:34] <Ben64> Pangolin: oh, well i don't know about those, sorry
[09:34] <Pangolin> np
[09:34] <Guido1> kostkon: yes, i start it first using:
[09:34] <Guido1> XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority
[09:34] <Guido1> DISPLAY=:0.0
[09:34] <Guido1> 58 19 * * * rhythmbox
[09:34] <FloodBot1> Guido1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:34] <Pangolin> the Intel drivers seem fine
[09:35] <pixie_dust> can anyone help me
[09:35] <MasterOfDisaster> belgianguy: iptables is just a management software for the kernel's netfilter tables
[09:35] <Ben64> Pangolin: the whole dual gpu thing was kind of rushed and there are weird implementations of it, so its kind of a mess currently
[09:35] <kostkon> Guido1, and you wait for a couple of secs and then you call rhythmbox-client? what error are you getting from cron
[09:36] <pixie_dust> i just need help with drivers..
[09:36] <antonio_> dr_willis: think I got it solved http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1488609
[09:36] <Ben64> !details | pixie_dust
[09:36] <theadmin> pixie_dust: What's the problem? Sorry, just joined.
[09:36] <Guido1> kostkon, Ben64: the file exist :-S is somthing wrong with the path?
[09:36] <Ben64> Guido1: looks like it wouldn't exist
[09:36] <pixie_dust> i did. um
[09:37] <kostkon> Guido1, try changing it to file:///home/Lahannya-Dystopia.m3u
[09:37] <pixie_dust> basicly i have an amd graphics card, i installed the fglrx driver, and compiz/unity disnt start when i turned my pc on, so which driver should i use, the xorg one makes my pc slow >_>
[09:37] <Guido1> kostkon: no error. rhythembox is starting, but doesn't play
[09:37] <Ben64> Guido1: where is the file exactly
[09:38] <kostkon> Guido1, then try starting rhythm in debug mode next time and see what you'll get
[09:38] <pixie_dust> should i try the drivers on the amd website..? ive been told in the past not to do that
[09:38] <theadmin> pixie_dust: The opensource one worked fine for me when I was on AMD. But don't go to the website, that's just fglrx so if you have that that won't fix anything.
[09:38] <theadmin> And fglrx is in the repos anyway
[09:39] <theadmin> pixie_dust: You could try the experimental version
[09:39] <theadmin> !info fglrx-experimental-9 | pixie_dust
[09:39] <pixie_dust> oh.. well when i installed the fglrx one from the addition drivers section of software sources, i rebooted and compiz and unity didnt start, just a blank desktop
[09:39] <theadmin> Eh, that's from precise
[09:39] <theadmin> SOrry
[09:39] <Guido1> kostkon: i will try that
[09:39] <Guido1> Ben64: in the home folder
[09:40] <pixie_dust> im on 12.10 on my pc, this is my laptop
[09:40] <theadmin> pixie_dust: I see... Hm, do you have dual graphics?
[09:40] <kostkon> Guido1, e.g. rhythmbox -D > ~/Destktop/rhythm_out.txt
[09:40] <Ben64> Guido1: the home folder or _your_ home folder
[09:40] <kostkon> Guido1, sorry, that should be: rhythmbox -d > ~/Destktop/rhythm_out.txt
[09:40] <pixie_dust> no no, just the ati 7950
[09:40] <phrozen> MasterOfDisaster: but where can I find any helpful logs? Apache is giving only information about premature end of script headers. Only this error log I can see.
[09:40] <theadmin> pixie_dust: Okay... Hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 and log in, then type "sudo aticonfig --initial"
[09:41] <theadmin> pixie_dust: Then "sudo reboot" and see if it starts working.
[09:41] <pixie_dust> theres the xorg one which is lame and slow, and theres the 2 fglrx propiety, and one with updates.
[09:41] <pixie_dust> ok ill try that
[09:41] <Guido1> Ben64: my home folder
[09:42] <Ben64> Guido1: then it wouldn't be /home/Lahannya-Dystopia.m3u
[09:42] <theadmin> Ben64: Use $HOME or ~ to refer to your home folder from the terminal
[09:42] <pixie_dust> currently i keep getting a compiz has had a critical error, close/relaunch, will this fix that?
[09:43] <theadmin> pixie_dust: Maybe. Not too sure.
[09:43] <theadmin> I'm with nvidia nowadays, no problems at all :)
[09:43] <Ben64> theadmin: I know, but Guido1 was doing this -  "play-uri=file:home/Lahannya-Dystopia.m3u"
[09:43] <theadmin> Ben64: Oh, bah, sorry wrong person
[09:43] <theadmin> Guido1: Use $HOME or ~ to refer to your home folder from the terminal
[09:43] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: are you sure your files didn't get messed up somehow? encoding trouble, dos vs. unix line endings, etc.?
[09:43] <pixie_dust> ummm
[09:44] <pixie_dust> i cant use the d key on my desktop
[09:44] <pixie_dust> so i cant type sudo
[09:44] <pixie_dust> usually i find a d and ctrl + c it
[09:44] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: try running it from the shell in your python interpreter, it should be at least able to read it.
[09:44] <Guido1> theadmin: so it would be play-uri=file:~/Lahannya-Dystopia.m3u"?
[09:45] <phrozen> MasterOfDisaster: and it is.
[09:45] <Ben64> pixie_dust: ctrl+shift+u+64
[09:46] <Ben64> pixie_dust: but seriously, buy a new keyboard, they aren't expensive
[09:47] <Tex_Nick> theadmin : regarding nvidia ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpOyKCNZYw ...; @^@
[09:47] <theadmin> Ben64: Thanks, that's the code I was looking for :D
[09:47] <pixie_dust> lol thank you, it only just broke yesterday
[09:47] <MasterOfDisaster> phrozen: I'm out of ideas, sorry. go ahead and ask on stackoverflow.com.
[09:48] <theadmin> Tex_Nick: That's about Optimus
[09:48] <pixie_dust> theadmin i still have the same issue
[09:48] <theadmin> pixie_dust: Damn... Welp. No idea then, sorry.
[09:48] <pixie_dust> :(
[09:48] <phrozen> MasterOfDisaster: Thank you.
[09:48] <mahesh_> can any one please help me to resolve an issue with packages? I am not able to install any thing by apt-get command in kubuntu 12.04 LTS. I am getting error as : "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."
[09:49] <pixie_dust> can anyone help me with an ati driver issue
[09:49] <dr_willis> and you did try 'sudo apt-get -f'  mahesh_ ?
[09:49] <Tex_Nick> theadmin : link is what linus torvalds thinks about nvidia :-)
[09:49] <mahesh_> yes, but it didn't work
[09:50] <pixie_dust> i guess ill try the ati drivers from the website.. nothing else i can do
[09:50] <Guido1> Ben64, theadmin: still a bit stuck
[09:50] <theadmin> Tex_Nick: Well, don't care much what Linus thinks. It works for me :P
[09:51] <Ben64> Guido1: you should try making a script to do what you want, then have crontab call it
[09:51] <theadmin> Tex_Nick: Then again this is a Dell computer, sooo...
[09:52] <Guido1> Ben64: how do i make such a script, where do i have to save it etc?
[09:52] <theadmin> mahesh_: Try running "sudo apt-get update" first.
[09:52] <theadmin> Guido1: Doesn't matter at all. Just make a file starting with "#!/bin/bash", followed by all your commands, one per line.
[09:52] <pixie_dust> what does sudo apt-get update do?
[09:53] <theadmin> pixie_dust: Gets the package lists.
[09:53] <pixie_dust> oh
[09:53] <Guido1> Ben64: if i could do it with parole it would also be fine; how do i know tthe right coments?
[09:53] <Tex_Nick> theadmin : i use nvidia on several boxs also ... works for me too ... was just injecting some humor ;_)
[09:54] <Ben64> Guido1: look at what theadmin said.
[09:54] <mahesh_> Ok, trying now...:)
[09:54] <Guido1> i'm trying to make a alarmclock since the timer of my musicenter is broken :-S
[09:54] <belgianguy> ah, thanks MasterOfDisaster, I'll just continue onwards then configuring it
[09:54] <Guido1> Ben64: i'm trying to make a alarmclock since the timer of my musicenter is broken :-S
[09:54] <Ben64> Guido1: you might want to look into "at" then
[09:54] <Ben64> !info at
[09:55] <Guido1> Ben64: how do i look into that?
[09:56] <kdns> Please, can anyone well me the correct two ways (sysvinit and upstart) to set a service to start manually or automatically?
[09:56] <Ben64> Guido1: the manual for at, google
[09:56] <Ben64> !upstart | kdns
[09:57] <kdns> Thanks Ben, I know what upstart is and what sysvinit is, I just can't find an authoritative "correct" way to do this for ubuntu precise
[09:57] <kdns> just a million different answers when I google.
[09:57] <Ben64> check the link from ubottu
[09:59] <theadmin> Guido1: Uh, well, something like "30 6 * * MON-FRI mplayer '/home/l/Music/alarm.mp3' &" will give you an alarm at 6:30 AM, monday to friday.
[09:59] <theadmin> Guido1: Shouldn't be a problem.
[09:59] <kdns> Ben64: Sorry, it doesn't seem to answer my question.
[10:00] <Guido1> theadmin: want a playlist, don't have mplayer
[10:00] <theadmin> Guido1: Uh, what do you have?
[10:00] <Ben64> kdns: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[10:00] <Guido1> parole and rhythmbox
[10:00] <Ben64> mplayer is quite easy to install
[10:01] <theadmin> Guido1: ...Won't work from crontab, they are graphical
[10:01] <niners> hello... I just did an automatic update and something happened with my wine and there was an error and it's like I no longer have it. can someone please help me
[10:01] <theadmin> Guido1: You need a command-line player, so just "sudo apt-get install mplayer".
[10:01] <Styler2go> hello guys. i am having some problems starting my apache2,, it tells me: bad group name"psacln"
[10:01] <theadmin> Guido1: The syntax for playlists is identical to that above, just use ".m3u" instead of ".mp3" :P
[10:02] <dr_willis> niners:  start with   wine --version    perhaps from a terminal to see if its installed
[10:02] <Guido1> theadmin: okee, then i will try that
[10:02] <Ben64> Styler2go: what os, what control panel, how did you install apache?
[10:02] <kdns> Ben64: Yeh, that's what I looked at, and I don't see where it answers my questions.
[10:03] <nooob> hey guys i am writing a test, pls help me - how to find out if a domain uses a virtual host?
[10:03] <Styler2go> ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Plesk, apache was installed, i coppied my old backup into and it stopped working
[10:03] <nooob> for example www.wikipedia.org
[10:03] <Ben64> kdns: you didn't read all of that in 2 minutes
[10:03] <Styler2go> (after a reboot)
[10:03] <pixie_dust> when i try to install the graphics drivers it says that some kernal headers cannot be found
[10:03] <kdns> Ben no, I read it before I came in here asking questions.
[10:03] <dr_willis> !headers
[10:03] <Ben64> pixie_dust: 64 bit?
[10:04] <nooob> can anyone help me please? which command do I use?
[10:04] <pixie_dust> yeah
[10:04] <niners> but I dont have an entire wine installation. I installed a collection of packages one of which goes with wine.  Sole purpose was to get netflix to work on this os.
[10:04] <niners> Dr. Willis I meant
[10:04] <Ben64> pixie_dust: sudo apt-get install linux-headers`uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g`
[10:05] <pixie_dust> O_o
[10:05] <theadmin> nooob: You can't find that out, you need their server config..
[10:05] <pixie_dust> sudo apt get *raindance*
[10:05] <kdns> Ben64: I searched through it using search terms I gathered when I got the thousand other mixed responses
[10:05] <dr_willis> niners:  that netflix ppa thing - installs its own special wine  and firefox.
[10:05] <mahesh_> @<theadmin> : same issue after update
[10:05] <nooob> theadmin: okay, that really sucks..... I have to find out :/
[10:05] <niners> dr willis... yeah?
[10:05] <dr_willis> yes...
[10:05] <Styler2go> How could i reinstall apache2?
[10:05] <kdns> Ben64: You seem to think I want to learn about upstart. I actually don't right now. definitely later, but right now, I want to get my computer working.
[10:06] <Styler2go> apt-get remove and then install or is there a command to reinstall?
[10:06] <niners> so... I dont see what you're getting at dr
[10:06] <mahesh_> mahesh@Mahesh-System-Kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gedit
[10:06] <mahesh_> Reading package lists... Done
[10:06] <mahesh_> Building dependency tree
[10:06] <mahesh_> Reading state information... Done
[10:06] <mahesh_> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[10:06] <FloodBot1> mahesh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:06] <mahesh_> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[10:06] <Ben64> Styler2go: we can't really help you with plesk
[10:06] <theadmin> Styler2go: sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2
[10:06] <dr_willis> apt has a reinstall option
[10:06] <nooob> theadmin: so should write there that virtual hosts cannot be found?
[10:06] <nooob> theadmin: but that would be weird...
[10:06] <theadmin> nooob: I suppose... How would you find  that out? That's private information anyway. And if it's your server you could access it...
[10:07] <kdns> Ben64: I came in here because I did the searching and reading docs and forum posts and sifting through different years' and different versions' correct ways, and I came up blank, and I'm hoping someone can give me an answer.
[10:07] <Styler2go> and: what can i do against this message? /bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
[10:07] <niners> Dr. Willis? You talking to me? I cant really tell
[10:07] <nooob> theadmin: well, I have to find out virtual servers for www.archlinux.org and www.wikipedia.org
[10:07] <nooob> theadmin: but that task is pointless then
[10:07] <Ben64> nooob: not really an ubuntu question
[10:07] <nooob> i know :D
[10:07] <Ben64> then.... not in this channel
[10:08] <dr_willis> niners:   check that netflix things repository  and see what all it installs using synaptic. it pulls in quiet a bit of stuff.
[10:08] <pixie_dust> xBen64 it said the optopn r fro  -r is not known
[10:08] <niners> dr willis.... oaky then what
[10:08] <Ben64> pixie_dust: you have to type it in exactly as i had it
[10:08] <pixie_dust> i did
[10:08] <Ben64> no you didn't
[10:08] <Tex_Nick> Styler2go :  you might also ask in #httpd & #ubuntu-server
[10:09] <kdns> Ben64: If you know the answer, if you could just tell me, that would be nice. if you don't, you could just tell me you don't, or not answer. I don't need to be told RTFM, I have the discipline to do that myself, I just lack the time right now.
[10:09] <Styler2go> but whats with this problem? /bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
[10:09] <nooob> okay then, i hope that theadmins answer is right... thx
[10:09] <dr_willis> niners:  Im not clear on what the original problem is
[10:09] <theadmin> kdns: Sorry, uh, what's your problem again?
[10:10] <theadmin> Styler2go: Might need to generate that locale... sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 && sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[10:10] <kdns> Please, can anyone well me the correct two ways (sysvinit and upstart) to set a service to start manually or automatically?
[10:10] <Styler2go> thank you so much <3 :)
[10:10] <Styler2go> i will try to fix apache on my own.. :)
[10:10] <dr_willis> kdns:  upstart services have a config file in /etc/init/*.conf  that start them at bootup.

[10:11] <kdns> I know various ways to do it... but I want to know the *RIGHT* way.
[10:11] <theadmin> kdns: For upstart, in the .conf file, "manual" anywhere in the file on a separate line for manual startup, or "start on runlevel [2345]" for automatic. I'm not too familiar with SysVInit, though.
[10:12] <kdns> dr_willis: so the .override file is the right way then?
[10:12] <dr_willis> overfide file can turn it OFF - disable it...
[10:12] <dr_willis> the upstart cookbook web site - details 3 ways to disable a service i recall
[10:12] <kdns> hah, it ain't working then. Stops one of these two services from starting auto, but doesn't stop it altogether.
[10:13] <kdns> exactly - three ways. which one is the *right* way.
[10:13] <dr_willis> there is no right way. it depends on your needs
[10:13] <Styler2go> how can i COMPLETLY remove apache2? apt-get remove apache2 ; is this enough?
[10:13] <dr_willis> you asked how to start them..
[10:13] <Styler2go> or should i ask in another channel?
[10:13] <dr_willis> Styler2go:  i belive theres some apache2 settings packages also
[10:13] <cfhowlett> Styler2go, sudo apt-get purge apache2*
[10:13] <kdns> Why would programmers allow three ways to do it without purpose for three ways?
[10:13] <Ben64> Styler2go: purge, but with plesk, anything we suggest may not work
[10:13] <kdns> I doubt that...
[10:13] <niners> the wine package that came with the collection is saying that it is unable to properly operate as it's looking for 1.14.12ubuntu3 which was a part of the older version of the os
[10:13] <dr_willis> kdns:  the override method does NOT work for older ubuntu releases..
[10:14] <kdns> Right, this is precise
[10:14] <dr_willis> kdns:  theres also future features of upstart documented that are not in the current release ofupstart
[10:14] <niners> dr_willis: the wine package that came with the collection is saying that it is unable to properly operate as it's looking for 1.14.12ubuntu3 which was a part of the older version of the os
[10:14] <dr_willis> i just rename the whatever.conf file if i want to disable a  upstart service.
[10:14] <theadmin> kdns: Please see my answer. There's no "right" way to do it if there are multiple ways, Tim Toady. But the easiest is probably what I described.
[10:15] <Guido1> theadmin, Ben64: for some reason "14 11 * * MON-FRI mplayer '/home/alarm.m3u' &" doesn't work and how do i stop the alarm?
[10:15] <dr_willis> niners:  i updated that netflix stuff today. here on 12.10  - havent tried it yet.
[10:15] <Mrokii> Hello. Is there a logout command I can use from a TTY to break out of a failing log-in process?
[10:15] <theadmin> Guido1: /home is NOT your home directory.
[10:15] <theadmin> Guido1: it's /home/username/
[10:15] <Ben64> also, i would use "at" for an alarm, not cron
[10:15] <niners> Dr. Willis: I have 12.04
[10:15] <kdns> I disagree. Many ways to do it does not automatically imply that they are all equally correct.
[10:16] <dr_willis> niners:  and i am on  12.10 - so thats about all i can offer
[10:16] <Guido1> theadmin: okee and how do is stop the alarm?
[10:16] <niners> Dr. Willis... so what should I do exactly
[10:16] <niners> just get windows?
[10:16] <theadmin> Guido1: Uh... killall mplayer
[10:16] <kdns> The *right* way may have a bunch of dependencies on your situation or whatever...
[10:16] <Styler2go> lol its running...
[10:17] <theadmin> Guido1: Also, uh, the line should be without quotes in the crontab, is that so?
[10:17] <theadmin> Guido1: i.e., just: 14 11 * * MON-FRI mplayer '/home/alarm.m3u' &
[10:17] <Guido1> theadmin: yes
[10:17] <theadmin> Guido1: Well, more of: 14 11 * * MON-FRI mplayer '/home/guido1/alarm.m3u' &
[10:18] <theadmin> Guido1: That will play at 11:14, monday to friday.
[10:18] <kdns> I really appreciate the help guys but I don't think anyone here actually knows best practice for having these two tools behave as desired... Any idea where to find out?
[10:18] <Ben64> Guido1, theadmin: probably need a -playlist after mplayer
[10:18] <theadmin> Ben64: Huh, thought it'd work that way.
[10:18] <theadmin> Ben64: I don't know, I don't do playlists, I do folders.
[10:18] <theadmin> lol
[10:18] <Ben64> me too
[10:18] <Ben64> mplayer Music/*
[10:19] <niners> Dr. Willis?
[10:19] <dr_willis> kdns:  you may want to clarify the question and post it on askubuntu.com - its not really clear on what you are asking.
[10:19] <Guido1> theadmin: how do you do folders?
[10:19] <dr_willis> niners: ?
[10:19] <kdns> I'm sorry I wasn't clear
[10:19] <niners> Dr Willis... So what is it you suggest i do exactly
[10:19] <theadmin> Guido1: Just dump a bunch of files in a folder and play the folder
[10:20] <dr_willis> niners:  no idea. Im not on the same release as you. You just said its missing some package. so sounds like the ppa maintainer has some issues.
[10:20] <kostkon> Guido1, for a simpler solution, check this: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/alarm-clock-applet/
[10:20] <Guido1> theadmin: but what is the coment?
[10:20] <Ben64> Guido1: just curious, why not use one of the alarm applications available?
[10:20] <kdns> It's actually four questions
[10:20] <theadmin> Guido1: ?
[10:21] <niners> the wine package that came with the collection is saying that it is unable to properly operate as it's looking for 1.14.12ubuntu3 which was a part of the older version of the os
[10:21] <theadmin> Ben64: And why do use them? I mean, installing extra stuff when there's an excellent built-in scheduler is just bloating your system
[10:21] <Tex_Nick> !best | kdns
[10:21] <Guido1> Ben64, theadmin: course i couldn't find one suporting playlists, Cd or folder
[10:21] <dr_willis> looking for what exactly niners ? you jus gave a version #... not a package name
[10:21] <kdns> What is the best practice to set an upstart service to start manually only? What is the best practice to set an sysvinit service to start manually only? What is the best practice to set an upstart service to start automatically? What is the best practice to set an upstart service to start automatically?
[10:21] <pixie_dust> i did that command you said but i get the same error
[10:21] <Ben64> theadmin: well i have an alarm clock for alarming
[10:21] <theadmin> Guido1: Well mplayer supports all of those :P
[10:21] <Styler2go> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)  what does that mean?
[10:22] <Ben64> Styler2go: something had a problem
[10:22] <kdns> Tex, I am not asking what app is best. I am asking for the best practice for the tools. Instructions, not opinions.
[10:22] <theadmin> Styler2go: That means something went wonky when you were doing stuff to packages. Can't tell what without the actual error (should be above that)
[10:22] <kdns> Tex_Nick:
[10:22] <niners> Dr. Willis.... I have no idea... my friend whose kinda a computer person did this all for me and I didnt get a chance to watch him do it so I'd know how this all works. He doesn't even know what the name was
[10:22] <Styler2go> http://pastebin.com/gXXdtqSg
[10:23]  * cfhowlett them dern kids, again!
[10:23] <Ben64> Styler2go: as i said before, we can't really help you with plesk
[10:23] <Styler2go> is this a plesk related problem?
[10:23] <Ben64> installing plesk messes with the whole system
[10:24] <Guido1> theadmin: yes, got it working :-))) thanks a lot
[10:24] <theadmin> Guido1: Yays
[10:24] <Styler2go> so nobody can help me with this problem? :-/
[10:25] <theadmin> Guido1: 11:14 is a weird time for an alarm though, why not 15?
[10:25] <niners> Dr. Willis:  I have no idea... my friend whose kinda a computer person did this all for me and I didnt get a chance to watch him do it so I'd know how this all works. He doesn't even know what the name was
[10:25] <cfhowlett> Guido1, snooze function
[10:25] <antonio_> for some reason I can't open PDF's in 12.10 when I run xpdf from terminal I get this output http://pastebin.com/cr826a0P
[10:25] <Ben64> Styler2go: plesk maybe? or if you get rid of plesk and reinstall ubuntu or something
[10:25] <Styler2go> yeah, but how to reinstall.. lets look...wait :D
[10:25] <Guido1> theadmin: whats the coment for pause? adjust the volume (during playing) 11.14 was becourse of testing ;-)
[10:25] <Styler2go> (its a vServer)
[10:26] <pixie_dust> can anyone help me?
[10:26] <pixie_dust> im trying to install ati drivers and it says im missing kernal headers
[10:27] <Ben64> pixie_dust: i've already told  you how to install headers
[10:27] <dr_willis> !headers
[10:27] <pixie_dust> i tryed it didnt work..
[10:27] <Ben64> you did not type it correctly
[10:27] <dr_willis> then you could have said so. ;)
[10:27] <antonio_> neither of my pdf viewers will stay open...how can I diagnose the problem?
[10:27] <Ben64> sudo apt-get install linux-headers`uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g`
[10:27] <Ben64> works perfectly
[10:28] <Styler2go> i just can reinstall it... nothing about install without plesk or so...
[10:28] <Guido1> theadmin: and the comand for playing audio CD (audio traks on it, no mp3)
[10:30] <theadmin> Guido1: To play an audio CD you can use mplayer /dev/dvd
[10:30] <theadmin> Guido1: And to pause you can use killall -STOP mplayer (to continue, killall -CONT mplayer)
[10:31] <Styler2go> ok i am installing it without plesk... plesk is nice because it has an app for controlling cpu / ram usage...
[10:31] <theadmin> Probably the wrong way to do it but I don't want to bother reading the docs for the commands :P
[10:31] <Styler2go> that was the only reason i used it.. :D
[10:32] <pixie_dust> wooo
[10:32] <pixie_dust> thank you ben
[10:32] <pixie_dust> i was pressing ' instead of `
[10:32] <Ben64> oh
[10:33] <Guido1> theadmin: thanks :-)) then i don't even have to make a new playlist, but can just put another Cd into it in the evening :-)
[10:34] <theadmin> Guido1: Wait, scratch that, for the audio CD use: mplayer cdda://
[10:35] <Guido1> theadmin: (y)
[10:43] <joao> how can I remove the background squares from my launcher bar?
[10:45] <MonkeyDust> joao  guess you need programming skills to edit the source, to that end
[10:45] <joao> MonkeyDust ok fine, but where's the source at?
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> joao  use sudo apt-get source [package name]

[10:57] <histo> mutant: what is systemctl?
[10:57] <mutant> histo: is the command for systemd
[10:57] <cockroacher> Aknot install amdccc 12.6 or 13.1 from amd.com website
[10:57] <Aknot> inst amdccc same thing as the fglrx driver?
[10:58] <mutant> histo: it allows me to load something at boot automatically at every boot, how do i do that in ubuntu?
[10:58] <Aknot> cockroacher i have catalyst controle center it comes with fglrx
[10:58] <histo> mutant: are you running 12.10?
[10:58] <cockroacher> then Aknot enable screen tearing option

[11:05] <makara> hi. What's the ctrl+key shortcut to complete a command FROM HISTORY?
[11:05] <cockroacher> > Aknot your chip and GPU work on linux and ubuntu awesomely i had same config and nothing works together better than those two
[11:05] <cockroacher> send me an e-beer Aknot
[11:06] <Aknot> i would if i knew how :D
[11:07] <histo> mutant: What service are you trying to restart?
[11:08] <TomyLaptop> if i compile vs the libboost1.48-dev package, do i need to have any packages to run it?
[11:08] <july_> How create a launcher on the desktop of gnome classic? It's not avaible on right click.
[11:08] <TomyLaptop> because i dont see any libboost1.48 package
[11:08] <histo> mutant: try using initctl
[11:08] <cockroacher> july press ALT+super+right click
[11:08] <histo> mutant: or man initctl
[11:08] <july_> !cmd
[11:09] <TomyLaptop> what is "super"?
[11:09] <TomyLaptop> shift?
[11:09] <elliria> makara: ctrl-r might be what you're looking for.
[11:09] <belgianguy> hmm I added:    alias ebrc="nano ~/.bashrc"     to my .bashrc file
[11:09] <bitch-slapper> TomyLaptop the windows key on the keyboard
[11:09] <histo> TomyLaptop: windows key is super
[11:10] <belgianguy> then used source to reload it
[11:10] <belgianguy> but when I try to use my ebrc command, it crashes :/
[11:10] <TomyLaptop> no, windows isnt super :D
[11:10] <july_> cockroacher: no, the possibility are create a folder, create a new document, align the icons... but not create a launcher.
[11:10] <histo> makara: ctlr+r
[11:10] <TomyLaptop> i thought that key was called meta
[11:10] <bitch-slapper> ok july
[11:11] <histo> TomyLaptop: I've heard it refered to both ways.
[11:11] <TomyLaptop> KDE calls it meta. i just checked
[11:11] <bitch-slapper> TomyLaptop no patents yet if im correct
[11:12] <makara> elliria, histo Thankyou
[11:12] <elliria> makara: Any time. (:
[11:12] <belgianguy> it's not the " or ' either, it crashes on both
[11:13] <TomyLaptop> ok there is libboost1.48-dbg which depends on libboost1.48-dev, but no libboost1.48
[11:13] <TomyLaptop> what the heck?
[11:13] <TomyLaptop> isnt it usually the way that both -dbg and -dev depend on the main package?
[11:14] <histo> TomyLaptop: someone else was in here looking for libboost recently.
[11:15] <yann2> hello! I m looking to speak to the guy who does laptop certifications for canonical, anyone know who that might be?
[11:15] <akis> My 12,04 system recognizes my camera and lsusb gives: Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0553:0002 STMicroelectronics Imaging Division (VLSI Vision) CPiA Webcam. Why adobe cannot recognize this cam and any webcamtest fails?
[11:15] <bitch-slapper> akis install cheese and check
[11:15] <belgianguy> akis: tried cheese or mplayer or vlc?
[11:16] <histo> yann2: You'd probably have to talk with canonical support and ask them would be a start.
[11:16] <yann2> histo, that'd be assuming I have support?
[11:16] <histo> yann2: That's how cannonical makes money
[11:17] <akis> belgianguy. the cam works with vlc
[11:17] <TomyLaptop> i guess he wants to pay for the cert but not for support
[11:17] <yann2> just want to report that one of their certificated hardware doesnt work, thought it might interest them even if I m not supported
[11:17] <histo> yann2: http://www.ubuntu.com/support
[11:17] <TomyLaptop> oh or that
[11:17] <yann2> If I was supported and they told me to go for it I d probably be quite upset
[11:18] <histo> yann2: What hardware are your referring to and why do you think its' certified?
[11:18] <histo> yann2: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[11:18] <yann2> T430s, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201202-10634/  , and actually I might still have a support contract
[11:18] <yann2> it sa  personal one though, and this is my work laptop
[11:19] <belgianguy> akis: well that's good, but wouldn't know how to continue from there
[11:19] <belgianguy> akis: xawtv might be able to help
[11:19] <histo> yann2: What problem are you experiencing?
[11:20] <yann2> random freeze - searching for "t430s ubuntu freeze" seems I m not alone
[11:20] <akis> belgianguy. i want adobe to be able to see the webcam. why cannot access it althougt the system can recognise the devise?
[11:20] <histo> yann2: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[11:20] <yann2> 12.4 LTS
[11:20] <belgianguy> akis: codecs I guess
[11:21] <histo> yann2: I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2065734  Where it's marked as solved
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187
[11:21] <belgianguy> VLC has its own codecs on board, the OS probably doesn't recognize the webcam codec
[11:21] <bitch-slapper> akis have you checked with cheese
[11:22] <yann2> guy marked as solved because he got his motherboard changed, but my laptop is brand new
[11:22] <yann2> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1055922  there is a bug here
[11:23] <yann2> seems unresolved
[11:23] <yann2> but with kernel patches
[11:24] <histo> yann2: Okay so have you installed kernel patches?
[11:25] <yann2> at the moment, I just wanted to notify the certification guy of the issues
[11:25] <yann2> regarding patches, recompiling a kernel is not a small task
[11:25] <yann2> (and maintaining it)
[11:26] <yann2> did I say something wrong? you seem quite hostile
[11:26] <histo> yann2: on the certification page there is a link for more info and the procedure for becoming certified. I'm sure those  would be the same people.
[11:26] <akis> bitch-slapper. no.if vlc can connect the cam what do i get more with cheese?
[11:26] <histo> yann2: No i'm not being hostile just trying to help. Sorry it's coming off that way.
[11:27] <yann2> I' ll get support and get it fixed this way.
[11:27] <yann2> from my previous experience I m not that hopeful though.
[11:27] <histo> akis: Because flash is terrible
[11:27] <Shakibaaaaaa> meee is feeeling horny?
[11:27] <Shakibaaaaaa> anyone up for sex?
[11:28] <histo> yann2: Really? I've never experienced canonical support.
[11:28] <histo> !ot | Shakibaaaaaa
[11:28] <Ben64> !ops
[11:28] <bitch-slapper> Shakibaaaaaa hi
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> Ben64  don't call the ops too easily, just ignore the kid
[11:28] <Ben64> MonkeyDust: seemed a bit more than normal trolling
[11:29] <histo> bitch-slapper: don't feed the trolls
[11:29] <bitch-slapper> k histo
[11:29] <yann2> actualy, it doesnt seem easy to subscribe.
[11:30] <yann2> ok its in the ubuntu shop.

[11:31] <yann2> sure
[11:32] <linux> no  spahe
[11:32] <l0lh4rd> any tricks on sorting slow internet connection in xubuntu
[11:32] <bitch-slapper> lolh4rd no substitute for fast connection
[11:33] <l0lh4rd> I m gonna but still the present connection which I m using is much more faster in Windows than in Linux(xubuntu)
[11:33] <bitch-slapper> what you using cable or 3g???
[11:33] <l0lh4rd> DSL
[11:33] <l0lh4rd> cable
[11:33] <erupter> l0lh4rd, my connections usually perform the same (if not faster) under ubuntu
[11:34] <erupter> l0lh4rd, what is the reating of the line you're talking about?
[11:34] <erupter> *rating
[11:34] <MonkeyDust> l0lh4rd  picked this up in this channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/1585659/
[11:34] <bitch-slapper> it should be fast but not like installing Downoad Accelerator etc
[11:35] <erupter> bitch-slapper, does it really give you any advantage nowadays???
[11:35] <l0lh4rd> rating?
[11:35] <bitch-slapper> on windows yes you can see the increase not sure on linux how
[11:35] <erupter> bitch-slapper, with multi-mega-bit lines, I don't see the point in compressing the stream... unless we're talking fullhd :p
[11:35] <erupter> l0lh4rd, yeah rating: megabits

[11:36] <erupter> uh
[11:36] <l0lh4rd> :(
[11:36] <bitch-slapper> erupter correct but windies works diff from linux
[11:36] <bitch-slapper> so thats 30KBps effective l0lh4rd
[11:36] <erupter> l0lh4rd, so you can't get 25K/s out of your line?
[11:36] <erupter> bitch-slapper, I usually divide by 10 to allow for overheads :)
[11:37] <l0lh4rd> yes
[11:37] <erupter> l0lh4rd, have you tried www.speedtest.net ?
[11:37] <bitch-slapper> kool
[11:37] <l0lh4rd> it does not load in my browser
[11:37] <bitch-slapper> ya do that l0lh4rd
[11:37] <l0lh4rd> takes a lot to load
[11:38] <mad-monkey> yes line is sloww...
[11:38] <erupter> l0lh4rd, yes it's all flash based, quite heavy on such a slow line
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> ironically, you need to have a fast pc to know how fast your pc is
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> or fast line
[11:41] <l0lh4rd> Core i3, 4GB RAM
[11:41] <mad-monkey> MonkeDust not really networking is independent
[11:41] <mad-monkey> very very powerful l0lh4rd
[11:44] <l0lh4rd> anyways thanks for the tips
[11:45] <l0lh4rd> I have no other choice then to upgrade my plan
[11:45] <mad-monkey> yes sir
[11:47] <l0lh4rd> btw, there's only slight difference between ubuntu and xubuntu right?
[11:47] <erupter> l0lh4rd, unfortunately given that any newspaper homepage is going to weight in the multi-megabytes range, you are in a situation similar to the latest machines equipped with floppy disks: they could go much faster and host much more data, still they were limited by the awfully slow and small floppy
[11:47] <erupter> l0lh4rd, not much, just aesthetics
[11:47] <l0lh4rd> thanks erupter
[11:48] <erupter> l0lh4rd, what changes is the UI the OS presents, you can also change it yourself should you want to
[11:48] <erupter> l0lh4rd, xubuntu uses XDE, ubuntu uses Unity
[11:48] <erupter> l0lh4rd, you can still install any on any distro
[11:48] <erupter> l0lh4rd, in your case something along the lines of $sudo apt-get install unity
[11:48] <auronandace> erupter: xubuntu uses xfce
[11:48] <erupter> or
[11:49] <erupter> auronandace, yeah right, it's kubuntu that uses kde :p
[11:49] <erupter> l0lh4rd, to install the usual unity desktop you'd do $sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg  <-- different DE's
[11:49] <erupter> l0lh4rd, that would install everything you need, and then at the start you can choose to load unity or xfce
[11:50] <l0lh4rd> thanks
[11:50] <erupter> l0lh4rd, you can do the same for KDE or any other interface
[11:51] <erupter> MonkeyDust, I suppose the most refined are (right now) Kde and Unity? I think they got the most active devs behind... or is it?
[11:51] <erupter> I read a bit of fuss around Gnome3 since it got dumped by Canonical, but I don't know hot it fares...
[11:52] <ThinkT510> erupter: unity is build on top of gnome3
[11:52] <Reddictor_> gnome3 's gk3 is used in unity so only DE gnome-shell is dumped
[11:52] <erupter> uh then why all the fuss about dumping gnome and going unity in the latest distros?
[11:52] <histo> erupter: gnome3 is very unity like
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> erupter  ther's something about KDE no longer fully supported, or something
[11:53] <l0lh4rd> downloading ubuntu desktop gonna take 1hr 18 mins +/-
[11:53] <Reddictor_> unity is a de just like Gnome-shell but i guess easy to program
[11:53] <histo> erupter: there basically dumping the gnome-shell
[11:53] <erupter> l0lh4rd, yeah it's a lot of megs :(
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> unity is a shell over gnome3
[11:53] <Reddictor_> correct
[11:53] <l0lh4rd> 150 to be precise :(
[11:53] <histo> MonkeyDust: kind of.
[11:54] <Reddictor_> gnome3 is for touch panels so its kinda kinky business
[11:54] <erupter> mmm my concept of shell is kinda blurring right now :p
[11:59] <pixie_dust> a while back when ubuntu first got unity, it had an intergrated music player in the start menu, what happened to it
[12:01] <pixie_dust> hello?
[12:01] <kdns> netsplit
[12:01] <erupter> pixie_dust, I still have it
[12:02] <Reddictor_> hi pixie
[12:02] <erupter> pixie_dust, 12.04 at least
[12:02] <bobweaver> erupter,  what are you talking about ?
[12:02] <bobweaver> music player for the dash ?  erupter
[12:03] <erupter> bobweaver, sorry -_- start menu -> top bar
[12:03] <erupter> I got it wrong
[12:03] <bobweaver> ahh the unity-panel
[12:03] <Onkeltem> Hi all. I wonder how to configure Right Alt to type special symbols like Euro sign. Any ideas?
[12:04] <erupter> €
[12:04] <erupter> to me it does automatically
[12:04] <erupter> it depends on the keyboard layout I suppose
[12:04] <bobweaver> pixie_dust,  if you like I have a ppa it is only 12.04 but it plays music when you hover over the music item in the dash
[12:05] <bobweaver> pixie_dust,  NM it is not stable enough yet sorry and not supported here either
[12:06] <Onkeltem> setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,ru -option lv3:ralt_switch,grp:caps_toggle,misc:typo,grp_led:caps - how this correlates with Ubuntu GUI? I mean, how to configure, say, "lv3:ralt_switch" in Ubuntu GUI?
[12:06] <poee> hi. are there any .debs for java plugin and java?
[12:07] <Styler2go> can u please repost me how i can fix this problem?  /bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
[12:10] <erupter> poee: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[12:11] <Styler2go> anyone knows how i can fix this error? warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
[12:12] <pixie_dust> yeah
[12:12] <pixie_dust> i think it was banshee?
[12:13] <poee> thanks erupter
[12:13] <poee> I ll check it out
[12:15] <Styler2go> does somebody know a monitor software for ubuntu? that i can see cpu / ram usage anywhere...? maybe with app for android?
[12:15] <poee> doesnt ubuntu have its own system monitor?
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> conky
[12:15] <Styler2go> can i reach it remotely?
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> !sensors | Styler2go
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> Styler2go: sure, you can run it via SSH if you want
[12:16] <Styler2go> i just want cpu / ram usage... conky looks good
[12:17] <erupter> Styler2go, KDE has integrated widgets for that
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> Styler2go: you may be able to use snmp
[12:18] <Styler2go> can u guys pls help me starting mysql? or is this the wrong channel for that?everytime i want to start it gives me root@v0132:~# service mysql start start: Job failed to start
[12:18] <Sling> Styler2go: and what happens if you start it directly, without the upstart script?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> Styler2go: i'd ask in #mysql
[12:18] <sillypants> Hello, I can't seem to find the error here, line 92. I'm getting "undefined reference to ListItem::ListeItem(int const&, QString const&, int const&, int const& QObject*)..." http://pastebin.com/h9m6JPCd  , maybe someone could give me a hint?
[12:18] <erupter> Styler2go,  suppose something like /join #mysql would be better
[12:18] <Sling> if its not the upstart, then #mysql indeed
[12:19] <erupter> sillypants, ##programming may be better suited
[12:19] <sillypants> woops wrong channel
[12:19]  * erupter feeling like a tourist information kiosk :p
[12:26] <kgs> hello everyone. I want to reinstall Ubuntu 12.10 without losing data for my applications.
[12:26] <kgs> what's the safest way to do this?
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> kgs  backup, then fresh install
[12:27] <kgs> backup how? /home is enough?
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> kgs  during install, consider creating an separate /home partition
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> !backup
[12:29] <kgs> Can there be some way to backup without booting into Ubuntu?
[12:30] <kgs> Problem is, I can't see anything on the display. I have no idea what was done, but this is how it is.
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> kgs  if you have more than 1 pc in the same network, you can ssh to it
[12:31] <Rin> redobackup.org
[12:31] <justmeh> there's a ton of methods kgs
[12:31] <justmeh> even acronis works with linux, as does ghost. there's a TON of free programs, but if you want to be lazy you can just dd the drive
[12:32] <justmeh> !imaging
[12:32] <justmeh> lame bot
[12:32] <kgs> well, http only, everything else is blocked. This is on an office network
[12:32] <bharath> how  can I update libnl 3.2.3 to 3.2.7?
[12:33] <Rin> i highly suggest every one get to know Redo! backup & restore.  its very powerful and even the most inexperienced elderly person can use it. and it works for windows, linux and mac
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | bharath
[12:33] <ironhalik> how can I executa a command on every user login and resume from sleep? I need to assing two finger tap to middle click every reboot, logiin and resume from sleep
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> Rin: I prefer acronis
[12:33] <kgs> Rin: thanks, I guess that's what I'll use.
[12:34] <justmeh> !clonezilla
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: you can add the command to the autorun stuff and it will run at login
[12:34] <justmeh> wtf is wrong with this bot
[12:34] <Rin> clonezilla is too difficult for most ppl
[12:34] <justmeh> rin
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> i use rsync -a to backup during the night
[12:34] <somsip> justmeh: try !info {packagename]
[12:34] <justmeh> who is most
[12:34] <salvatorek> hi
[12:34] <justmeh> ah somsip thx
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: look into thaw and wakeup for the place to add it when the system resumes
[12:34] <Styler2go> there is nobody in #mysql :D
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: she is fine, responding to the triggers
[12:35] <Styler2go> how can i start without "service"? :o
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Styler2go: check the logs in /var/log   it may give clues
[12:35] <justmeh> ActionParsnip, while technically its running as intended i'm disparaging its abilities.
[12:35] <justmeh> dpkg > ubottu
[12:36] <justmeh> discuss.
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: you can suggest factoids and they may get added
[12:36] <justmeh> :>
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> !info dpkg | justmeh
[12:36] <justmeh> ActionParsnip, see #debian
[12:36] <Rin> how do i go about adding !redo
[12:36] <Styler2go> mysql.log empty and mysql.err empty too
[12:37] <Alocer> doese anyone knows  : will i get problems by installing kopete in unity or not ??
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Rin: you#d type something like:    /msg ubottu !redo is Redo is an application that does stuff
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Alocer: it should be fine
[12:37] <Alocer> ty ActionParsnip
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: what else do you want her to do?
[12:38] <justmeh> ActionParsnip, just forgive my hostilities @ bots
[12:38] <justmeh> really?
[12:38] <justmeh> it should list every command its got
[12:38] <justmeh> along iwth common syntax
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> !brain | justmeh
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: it does
[12:38] <justmeh> !factoids
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: just because YOU don't know how, doesn't mean its not possible
[12:38] <justmeh> no good i gotta go there to get it?
[12:38] <justmeh> ~_~;
[12:39] <justmeh> meh
[12:39] <justmeh> anyway better ubottu than no bot.
[12:39] <justmeh> moving on ;)
[12:39] <Styler2go> found this:  /etc/init.d/mysql: line 51: awk: command not found root@v0132:~#
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: try asking rather than assuming
[12:39] <justmeh> shush
[12:39] <justmeh> ive been here a long time
[12:41] <Styler2go> what is awk? does anyone know how i could fix htis?
[12:42] <jrib> Styler2go: how did you install ubuntu...?
[12:42] <justmeh> !compile
[12:42] <bharath> how to add quantal repo to 12.04? for libnl update version
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> bharath: that will make a big mes
[12:43] <jrib> bharath: mixing repositories for other ubuntu versions is not supported
[12:43] <Styler2go> ubuntu was pre installed
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> bharath: I suggest you find a ppa
[12:43] <jrib> Styler2go: by whom?
[12:43] <Styler2go> i just copied my backuo over the files after i was done installing everything :-/
[12:43] <Styler2go> its a vServer
[12:43] <justmeh> bharath,
[12:43] <justmeh> it can be done
[12:43] <justmeh> what you are looking for is called pinning.
[12:43] <justmeh> !pinning
[12:44] <justmeh> !apt-pin
[12:44] <justmeh> !apt-pining
[12:44] <FloodBot1> justmeh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:44] <Styler2go> :D :D
[12:44] <justmeh> shush u stupid bot
[12:44] <jrib> Styler2go: you should complain to whoever is managing the server as it's very strange for you to not have awk and there's likely to be more things broken
[12:44] <justmeh> however bharath in general its VERY STRONGLY recommended to nOT do this
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> its not pinning, bharath wants a later version than is in Precise
[12:44] <justmeh> yes
[12:44] <Styler2go> how can i "clean up" my apt-get ?
[12:44] <justmeh> pinning ActionParsnip
[12:44] <Styler2go> it tells me many strange things
[12:44] <bharath> ActionParsnip, while building gnome-shell using jhbuild I got this error  http://pastie.org/5929206
[12:44] <justmeh> http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html
[12:44] <justmeh> basically
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Styler2go: sudo apt-get clean     will remove the old debs from the cache, freeing up space
[12:45] <justmeh> you leave your current repos in your apt
[12:45] <jrib> Styler2go: I suggest you reinstall
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: its not pinning
[12:45] <justmeh> it is pinning
[12:45] <justmeh> then you add more repos
[12:45] <RB> does anyone know how I can detect the state of my display? I want to start and close a program as the display is turned on and off
[12:45] <justmeh> then you select which is the preferred
[12:45] <justmeh> so
[12:45] <Styler2go> cant i just install awk?
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: how is wanting the version of a later release in an older release pinning?
[12:45] <justmeh> ActionParsnip, stfu and read the link lol
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: but the version desired isn't in the repo for Precise
[12:45] <justmeh> what happens is you go to install xyz and it will prefer WHICHEVER repo you specified when you pin
[12:46] <jrib> Styler2go: yes. However, like I said, there are likely other things wrong.  Also, it's very strange for the mysql package to even be successfully installed when awk isn't there
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: user wants the version from Quantal to be in Precise
[12:46]  * justmeh sighs
[12:46] <justmeh> ActionParsnip, please
[12:46] <justmeh> please shush and let me finish
[12:46] <justmeh> right.
[12:46] <MrSassyPants> recommend me a really slim wm
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: 12:42 < bharath> how to add quantal repo to 12.04? for libnl update version
[12:46] <Styler2go> http://pastebin.com/CY7H0y9c here is some log with, i think, some (or many?) errors
[12:46] <justmeh> yes
[12:46] <jrib> MrSassyPants: xmonad, awesome, dwm
[12:46] <justmeh> that's right.
[12:46] <justmeh> set it all up
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> MrSassyPants  jwm
[12:47] <jrib> MrSassyPants: if you don't want tiling, try fluxbox and openbox...
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> justmeh: so if the package is not available in the Precise repos, how will pinning do anything
[12:47] <justmeh> action
[12:47] <justmeh> please
[12:47] <justmeh> s
[12:47] <justmeh> t
[12:47] <justmeh> f
[12:47] <FloodBot1> justmeh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:47] <justmeh> u
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> justdave: you still haven't answered
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> thanks
[12:47] <justmeh> jeez
[12:47] <justmeh> now then.
[12:47] <justmeh> once the quantal sources are in your apt sources
[12:48] <jrib> justmeh: we know what pinning is.
[12:48] <justmeh> AND you have specified the pinning, it should first look in your default repo
[12:48] <ayman> how to update lib-c6 to 12.3  +  on ubuntu lucid ??
[12:48] <justmeh> now, for a specific package such as this, you can specify which of your repo sets you want to pull from
[12:48] <jrib> justmeh: please stop.
[12:48] <IdleOne> justmeh: You are wrong on two counts. Mixing repos is not recommended or supported, your attitude towards other users needs to change to reflect the !guidelines you were linked.
[12:48] <justmeh> lulz
[12:48] <justmeh> first
[12:48] <justmeh> i said it wasnt suggested
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> high spirits today...
[12:48] <justmeh> second it is doable
[12:49] <justmeh> third that's what ubuntu is - a mix of debian that's been pushed a bit and twisted here and there
[12:49] <Styler2go> so i shoudl reinstall the server?
[12:49] <ayman> how to update lib-c6 to 12.3  +  on ubuntu lucid ? any help here
[12:49] <justmeh> and fourth it can be done.
[12:49] <Styler2go> no other way?
[12:49] <IdleOne> !wfm
[12:49] <justmeh> finally, when you actually pull the package in this way it may bring in other stuff. which is where the acutal danger is. it often breaks stuff
[12:49] <justmeh> you would have got that line minutes ago but....
[12:49] <jrib> Styler2go: of course there's another way.  But you don't know why it's broken.  So I suggest you reinstall fresh so you know what you are dealing with
[12:50] <justmeh> so anyway it might be easier to compile from source if you really need that one package
[12:50] <bharath> ActionParsnip, how can I update libnl 3.2.3 to 3.2.7?
[12:50] <Styler2go> i sent u the log... doesnt that help you? :-/
[12:50] <justmeh> but your going to have to track down all the requireds
[12:50] <jrib> Styler2go: no because you can't tell me why it is that way.  I suspect you just have a broken install
[12:50] <Styler2go> ah, fuck off, i will jst reinstall it...
[12:51] <justmeh> and that is the CORRECT and full answer.
[12:51] <Styler2go> so i have to wait again...
[12:51] <jrib> Styler2go: please mind your language here
[12:51] <justmeh> Styler2go, whats your issue
[12:51] <Styler2go> i am sorry ...
[12:51] <IdleOne> justmeh: You have proved your point. You know a lot about how stuff in debian distros work. Now please learn the Ubuntu way of doing things if you wish to continue supporting users in here.
[12:51] <justmeh> dont just reinstall willy nilly.. its good to try to fix things. thats where the learning comes in
[12:51] <justmeh> IdleOne, please read all that i said
[12:52] <ayman> how to update lib-c6 to 12.3  +  on ubuntu lucid ? any help here
[12:52] <justmeh> minus the telling ActionParsnip to well shush excessively
[12:52] <justmeh> i was right on all points
[12:52] <justmeh> and
[12:52] <Rin> ...
[12:52] <jrib> justmeh: stop pressing enter so much
[12:52] <IdleOne> I did. You are wrong for even suggesting to do something that will break his system
[12:52] <MonkeyDust> justmeh  know when to stop
[12:52] <Rin> as a manager i'd send you home
[12:52] <justmeh> we could have a discussion about supported vs allowed vs possible
 how to update lib-c6 to 12.3 +  on ubuntu lucid  ??
[12:53] <justmeh> but the idea behind helping someone is to not just force them into your method, but to teach why
[12:53] <IdleOne> justmeh: The idea behind supporting in #ubuntu is to do it the ubuntu way. Now please drop it.
[12:53] <justmeh> don't pm me
[12:54] <justmeh> IdleOne, do you have an issue with the truth?
[12:54] <ayman> any help here
[12:54] <Rin> consistency. there are plenty of ways to do things, not all are correct
[12:54] <ikonia> ayman: you don't do that
[12:54] <justmeh> because, since ubuntu came from debian, and pinning is supported, and its there in ubuntu, and its supported.. its just not wise or recommended most of the time.
[12:54] <ikonia> ayman: you use the libraries provided by the packages in the official ubuntu repo that match your version
[12:54] <IdleOne> justmeh: this isn't a debate. drop it please. You are right in saying that it could be done. You are wrong in saying it in this channel. that is it.
[12:55] <aeon-ltd> CORNSWAGGLE

  v 11.7
[12:55] <jrib> Styler2go: so you have awk now?
[12:55] <ikonia> ayman: that's just a number, that has no context to what you've just said
[12:56] <justmeh> ayman, might i suggest a better method of asking this?
[12:56] <ayman> sorry  just need to update that  lib-c6 to version 12.3 or hi
[12:56] <justmeh> i have version xyz of abc in my system. my system is setup as follows (whatever). i want to upgrade abc to version def, because i want to _something_

[12:57] <andybrine> Just a quick question
[12:57] <jrib> Styler2go: so you have awk now?
[12:57] <aeon-ltd> justmeh: don't you mean upgrade version xyz to xzy2? if you want newer packages compile or use a ppa
[12:57] <andybrine> I have just updated my ram on my laptop and its not showing up in "About this computer"
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> bharath: there may be a PPA with the newer version

[13:07] <justmeh> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[13:08] <Psi-Jack> justmeh: See the section: Recommended alternative to pinning
[13:08] <Psi-Jack> That's even Debian's recommended pinning method. Just so you know.
[13:09] <justmeh> Psi-Jack, see the word recommended! lol
[13:10] <justmeh> and i suppose it depends on what you want actually being there.
[13:11] <Psi-Jack> IdleOne: Still around?
[13:12] <IdleOne> Psi-Jack: sorta
[13:12] <Psi-Jack> IdleOne: Okay. Just wanting to suggest the potential removal of him. He ran off to ##linux to complain about #ubuntu there, and yet still continues here despite all warnings.

[13:13] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:18] <wdl> hi
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> hi wdl
[13:21] <wdl> hi
[13:23] <aeon-ltd> it's weird that support happens in clusters and the channel always experiences 5-10 minutes of silence every few hours
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> aeon-ltd: it means things are working :)
[13:25] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip, true indeed.
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> aeon-ltd  may be timezone-related
[13:27] <cristian_c> Hi
[13:27] <usr13> or, no-one-broke-anything
[13:27] <cfhowlett> cristian_c, greetings
[13:27] <cristian_c> I've found that I can send commands to my irc client from a configuration file: perform.conf
[13:27] <cristian_c> for example: cmd = /join #ubuntu
[13:27] <cristian_c> I could launch a script in the same manner: cmd = /exec -o ~/scriptname
[13:28] <cristian_c> I'd like to use this tecnique for use a personal quit message in irc
[13:28] <cristian_c> How can I do to get this?
[13:28] <usr13> cristian_c: irssi?
[13:29] <cristian_c> usr13, no
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  try /quit [your personal message here]
[13:29] <cristian_c> Monkeyok, but in this manner, I exit now
[13:29] <cristian_c> Monkeyok, i'd like to use this quit message when I'll quit
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  whar IRC client?
[13:30] <cristian_c> *MonkeyDust
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> wht*
[13:30] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, lostirc
[13:31] <Jun> How to create a launcher on the Desktop? When I use Ctrl+super+right click, only create a new folder oer create a document empty document appear, but no launcher.
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Jun: you use .desktop files. The only way I know how is to copy one from~/.config/autostart   then modify
[13:33] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[13:33] <Jun> Hi ActionParsnip. Where are .desktop files?
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: does your irc client have a support channel of its own?
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> Jun: in ~/.config/autostart   if you want one of an installed app, you can simply copy the relevant one from /usr/share/applications to the desktop
[13:34] <kostkon> Jun, check also in ~./local/share/applications. put your own custom .desktop files in there too
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  type /set to know the right setting, i guess, or use a more common client to get better support
[13:35] <cristian_c> ah, ok
[13:35] <Jun> In fact, I want the execute a script in a terminal
[13:35] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, lostirc is a lightweight irc client
[13:36] <usr13> cristian_c: If you want more features, try irssi
[13:36] <kostkon> Jun, and you want to create a desktop file for it?
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  yes, but try a more common lightweight IRC client
[13:36] <cristian_c> MonkeyDust, If I type /set, nothing happens :O
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  it seems nobody had ever heard of lostirc
[13:36] <usr13> cristian_c: You have to give it some arguments
[13:37] <kostkon> Jun, you can always use a gui app, if you want, like this here: http://www.iloveubuntu.net/menulibre-1301-released-significant-under-hood-improvements
[13:37] <cristian_c> usr13, irssi is a command line client
[13:37] <usr13> cristian_c: /set quit_message <my personal quit message>  if it's irssi.  I dono about others.
[13:37] <Jun> kostkon: Yes. The script is already created. I want to click  on an icon on the desktop to launch the script.
[13:37] <cristian_c> usr13, oh, ok
[13:38] <shadow98> if i use file connect to server and connect to web dav server..how do i access that via  command line
[13:38] <kostkon> Jun, ok, then create the .desktop file, copy it to your desktop
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> cristian_c  consider using something else, if your client is too hard to use or configure
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> Jun: if you mark the file as executable, then right click the script -> properties. You can tell it to run in a terminal.
[13:39] <usr13> cristian_c: http://www.irssi.org/documentation
[13:39] <kostkon> Jun, pick a .desktop file from ~/.local/share/applications, copy it to your desktop, modify it accordingly and you are ready.
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: look in /run/username/gvfs   I belive. run: mount   should show you
[13:40] <kostkon> Jun, for all the possible keys and values you can use, check the spec here, if you want: http://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.1/ar01s05.html
[13:41] <Jun> kostkon: I check it
[13:41] <kostkon> Jun, good
[13:41] <cristian_c> usr13, I see
[13:42] <kostkon> Jun, don't forget to make it executable after you finish with it
[13:42] <davividal> hi all. How can I redirect all traffic to *.example.org to 127.0.0.1:8000 using dnsmasq?
[13:44] <cfhowlett> davividal, edit /etc/hosts ?
[13:44] <atmosx> can someone help me get rid of this message? http://pastebin.com/MESx7Vs9
[13:44] <atmosx> which file do I need to edit to setup proparly locales?
[13:44] <atmosx> properly idem
[13:44] <matthewvz> davividal: Can't you use iptables?
[13:44] <usr13> davividal: "all traffic"?
[13:45] <usr13> davividal: What exactly are you wanting to do?
[13:45] <davividal> cfhowlett, it didn't worked... don't know why :(
[13:45] <davividal> matthewvz, could... but dnsmasq seemed simpler
[13:45] <erupter> atmosx, do you get that on an arm embedded?
[13:46] <atmosx> erupter: no, on x86 HP laptop
[13:46] <usr13> davividal: Oh, all traffic for a particular domain name.  Well, that would be a function of your router really, or the /etc/hosts file.  Is your PC also a gateway router?
[13:46] <davividal> usr13, I'm consuming some API for a system I'm developing, and the API needs to post to my system and I can't set "127.0.0.1" as a return URL
[13:46] <erupter> atmosx, try this http://perlgeek.de/en/article/set-up-a-clean-utf8-environment
[13:47] <atmosx> erupter: I am trying now this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[13:47] <atmosx> erupter: than I'll take a look, thanks
[13:47] <kostkon> davividal, oauth callback? :P
[13:47] <davividal> usr13, nah; just a dev box. I don't want to mess with the router... /etc/hosts worked yesterday. Didn't work today and I went for another solution :)
[13:47] <davividal> kostkon, payment gateway :)
[13:47] <kostkon> davividal, nice :P
[13:48] <usr13> davividal: Not sure why /etc/hosts would work one day and not the next.  Something must have changed...
[13:50] <davividal> usr13, yeah, it's weird. That's why I went for dnsmasq (that and I'm lazy enough to don't want to learn bind)
[13:53] <Styler2go> Hey Guys, i have another Question :D i have some problems on my new server with ffmpeg, it misses some codecs, is there a "codecpack" or some common codecs i need for ffmpeg convertion?
[13:54] <Rin> vlc
[13:54] <MonkeyDust> Styler2go  restricted extras
[13:54] <Rin> that too
[13:54] <Styler2go> what do you mean with restrict extras?
[13:55] <Rin> its a collection of non-free codecs
[13:55] <kostkon> Styler2go, install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:55] <cfhowlett> Styler2go, restricted extras is the codec-pack you want
[13:55] <Styler2go> ok installing...
[13:55] <Styler2go> why is it called "restricted"?
[13:56] <moonraker> hi
[13:56] <kostkon> Styler2go, and medibuntu offers some more. if you want, add it to your software sources list.  http://www.medibuntu.org/
[13:57] <Styler2go> lets see...
[13:57] <Jun> kostkon: works, thanks
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> Styler2go  because it's not open source, mp3 is the most common closed source coded (mpeg1 layer3)
[13:57] <kostkon> Jun, :)
[13:58] <erupter> guys I have a grudge with the unity notifications
[13:58] <Rin> mp3 is not free, (along with some others) some one has to pay for them so its best not to install them untill needed.
[13:58] <erupter> they become transparent and don't allow me to click on them
[13:58] <erupter> how can I solve this?
[13:58] <Styler2go> now it works (the ffmpeg convertion)
[13:58] <Styler2go> thank you guys
[13:59] <kostkon> erupter, they are not clickable by design
[13:59] <erupter> kostkon, they're useless then -_-
[13:59] <kostkon> erupter, you can't do anything about it
[13:59] <Rin> help the planet, ditch mp3 and use free codecs like ogg
[13:59] <kostkon> erupter, :/
[14:00] <erupter> kostkon, no ok not useless, but most notification when clicked bring focus to something you ought to respond to, this way you can't
[14:00] <Styler2go> :D
[14:00] <kostkon> erupter, that's why we have indicators ;)
[14:00] <theseus> I am getting logged out of ubuntu 12.04 when I minimize or exit windows.  Any ideas?
[14:00] <amanaaa> teamviewer like tool to manage thru SSH behind NAT for ubuntu?
[14:00] <kostkon> erupter, especially the messaging menu
[14:01] <erupter> kostkon, well I'm talking dropbox or skype notification or even email notification
[14:01] <erupter> indicators can't make up for the lost functionality
[14:01] <erupter> anyway I have to get along with it
[14:02] <kostkon> erupter, you can integrate skype in the messaging menu. and dropbox i think has its own indicator
[14:03] <kostkon> erupter, check this for skype: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/skype-wrapper-for-ubuntu-gets-updated
[14:03] <erupter> kostkon, thanks
[14:04] <kostkon> erupter, np
[14:04] <repsaj> sorry, newb here, but running a home web server off of ubuntu (desktop) and have lost all connection to the root domain (no http, ping, or ssh). i still have full access to subdomains. any clue what might be up?
[14:05] <ikonia> repsaj: what do you mean root domain / sub domain
[14:05] <ikonia> repsaj: could you expand a little please
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> repsaj: if you dig the domain name, does it resolve ok?
[14:06] <repsaj> i cannot access example.com, but another.example.com works
[14:06] <ironhalik> is it a good idea to install raring kernel in quantal? :>
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: root domain is like google.com   subdomain is   maps.google.com
[14:07] <ikonia> ActionParsnip: I know what they are, however I wanted his definition
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: its not advised or supported, but it is possible
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: gotcha
[14:07] <ikonia> repsaj: does the dns lookup show the same IP
[14:07] <ikonia> ironhalik: no, it's a terrible idea
[14:07] <amanaaa> Any teamviewer like tool to manage thru SSH behind NAT for ubuntu?
[14:07] <ironhalik> I'm looking into 3.8 kernel, or 3.7.5 for my quantal install
[14:07] <ikonia> ironhalik: why ?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: raring doesn't use 3.8
[14:07] <ironhalik> some power improvements
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> amanaaa: why do you need to see the desktop?
[14:07] <ironhalik> there are raring 3.8 builds in the mainline ppa
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: yes, its a PPA though
[14:08] <usr13> repsaj: Apparently, something has changed on the server, (apache, right?), so think of what you might have done.  (Your question is a bit to general for us to give any specific advise.
[14:08] <ironhalik> ActionParsnip: still, it may or may not blow up in my face, i presume? :>
 remotely manage my device...
[14:09] <repsaj> hmm, the primary domain is being just served from /var/www/ from a static html file
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: maybe, maybe not, it won't be supported here is you get problems
 like switching off..
[14:09] <Rin> vnc
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> amanaaa: yes, but to achieve what?
[14:09] <repsaj> the subdomain is currently being run from a separate nginx server
[14:09] <ironhalik> ActionParsnip: that's no problem
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> amanaaa: you can switchoff via ssh:  sudo shutdown -h now
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: its your system, do as you desire
 but not from behind NAT
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> amanaaa: you'd need to port forward, just like you would with any remote access
[14:10] <usr13> repsaj: And the primary domain works ok?
 not possible as my ISP not allows this..
[14:10] <theseus> I am getting logged out of ubuntu 12.04 when I minimize or exit windows.  Any ideas?
[14:10] <ironhalik> ActionParsnip: just wanted to know if there are any makjor issues to be expected
[14:10] <repsaj> @usr13 the primary domain is down, but the subdomains work sorry for the confusion
[14:11] <ignerous> anyone knows about c++ irc channel??
[14:11] <usr13> repsaj: Are you running apache and nginx on the same machine?
[14:12] <repsaj> running nginx for the subdomain
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> ignerous  ##c++
[14:12] <repsaj> the primary domain is just reading from a static html file in the /var/www/ folder
[14:12] <usr13> repsaj: Are you running apache and nginx on the same machine?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> ironhalik: who knows, its not an official ubuntu kernel, so the options and settings cannot be garunteed
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> amanaaa: then you won't get any connectivity, NAT will block any incoming connection if there is not a rule to allow the traffic through
 any other tool...
[14:13] <repsaj> usr13 i'm running nginx for subdomain but the primary domain is just reading from a static html file in the /var/www/ folder
 okay......... thnx....
[14:14] <usr13> repsaj: And  /var/www/index.html  is the one that is not working?
[14:14] <Rin> amanaaa,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/168878/how-do-i-install-a-vnc-server

It seems that this issue is somehow connected with a section in the files, for when I remove some parts of the code, it successfuly compile. The error under acroread is : there was a problem reading this document (14). Is it a known problem ?  The same c
[14:15] <jet_^> ode successfully compiles using pdflatex under windows. I  suspect an encoding problem maybe ?
[14:16] <repsaj> usr13: yes, i cannot get a response to /var/www/index.html
[14:17] <repsaj> usr13: also to note, i cannot ssh into user@primarydomain.com, but can ssh into user@sub.domain.com
[14:17] <shadow98> ActionParsnip: that was the location thanks for your help...not quite but pointed me in the right direction
[14:18] <usr13> repsaj: service --status-all   #See if apache has [+]
[14:18] <usr13> repsaj: Oh, so you have a network problem.
[14:19] <repsaj> usr13: yeah, and apache has as [-]
[14:19] <usr13> repsaj:  if you "cannot ssh into user@primarydomain.com, but can ssh into user@sub.domain.com", then you simply have a network issue
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> shadow98: if you reached the goal then that's all I need :)
[14:19] <usr13> repsaj: Then restart apache
[14:20] <usr13> repsaj: apache is not running so start it.
[14:20] <pixie_dust> is it possible to mak emy pc my modem/ router?
[14:20] <usr13> repsaj: service apache2 start

[14:21] <repsaj> grrbox.com is not responding
[14:22] <ikonia> what is grrbox.com ?
[14:22] <repsaj> the domain that is not responding
[14:22] <usr13> ikonia: Its just on his LAN, (or thats what he said...)
[14:22] <usr13> repsaj: Are you trying to access it from outside?  (From another PC on your LAN?)
[14:22] <repsaj> sorry guys, to clarify, the domain is public ~
[14:23] <usr13> repsaj: Are you running apache and nginx on the same machine?
[14:23] <repsaj> usr13: i'm outside of my lan network, normally i can connect, but i noticed this morning i couldn't ssh into the machine to do work
[14:23] <repsaj> usr13: i'm running nginx on the machine to serve the subdomains, apache is not running
[14:24] <ikonia> repsaj: either a.) your dns is screwed b.) your port forwarding is screwed
[14:24] <usr13> repsaj: And the domain you are complaining about is served by apache.  Right?
[14:24] <pixie_dust> is it possible to make my ubuntu pc a router/modem without any extra boxes and things?
[14:25] <repsaj> usr13: it's just a static file in /var/www/index.html, is that served by apache?
[14:25] <MonkeyDust> pixie_dust  is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router
[14:26] <usr13> repsaj: And that is the one that is not working.  Right?
[14:26] <repsaj> usr13: yes
[14:26] <ignerious> can you help me to compile a c++ code using g++???
[14:26] <ikonia> usr13: forget apache, he can't ssh
[14:26] <pixie_dust> kind of, is it possible for it to be a modem too?
[14:26] <ikonia> usr13: it's a higher level than that
[14:27] <usr13> repsaj: Why are you not running all if it from apache?  (Why do you also have nginx running on the same machine?)

[14:28] <usr13> ikonia: Some of what he says does not make sense, but well yes, if he has no access to a domain name that he did before, there is a network problem for sure.

[14:29] <cfhowlett> !patiience|ignerious,
[14:29] <ikonia> !vpn > raheel
[14:29] <cfhowlett> !vpn
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> !repeat | ignerious
[14:29] <raheel> yes
[14:30] <niklasfi> ignerious: what is your problem?
[14:31] <niklasfi> ignerious: please don't pm me, use this channel
[14:31] <ignerious> ok
[14:31] <niklasfi> well you run g++ <filename>
[14:32] <StFS> Hello. How can I get apt-get (or aptitude in command line mode) to install one package and remove another "at the same time". That is, I'm replacing a package A with package B and there are a bunch of packages C through Z that depend on either package A or B and I don't want to have to remove those. I can do this in the aptitude TUI but I'm not sure how to do it as a single command line.
[14:32] <ignerious> niklasfi: i am getting following error
[14:32] <ignerious> niklasfi: $ g++ Pattern.cpp -o pattern
[14:32] <ignerious> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o: In function `_start':
[14:32] <ignerious> (.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
[14:32] <ignerious> collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
[14:33] <cfhowlett> StFS, why use a single command line?  purge the first package, the install the preferred package. Cleaner/clearer
[14:33] <niklasfi> ignerious: please use a pastbin, such as pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com
[14:33] <repsaj> usr13: sorry, since i want to development many sites on this machine, i choose the web server for each project. but usually this is not a problem. today all of a sudden, i lost ssh connection. i can still ssh into subdomain.grrbox.com, but cannot ssh into grrbox.com
[14:33] <StFS> cfhowlett: because then I get a dependency error on packages C through Z... they need either A or B installed
[14:33] <cfhowlett> StFS, but if you HAD to go with one command line: sudo apt-get purge foo.deb && sudo apt-get install foo2.deb
[14:33] <cjae> 10.04 still supported and is chntpw in it?
[14:34] <StFS> cfhowlett: nope that doesn't work... the first one would crap out because packages C through Z need either foo or foo2 installed
[14:34] <niklasfi> ignerious: this is not really the channel to discuss these issues, since this is clearly a c++ programming problem. I would suggest you ask in #c++-basic. However the problem you are experiencing is caused by a missing main() function, as the error message states
[14:34] <lesshaste> in unity, the left hand column is blank .. how can I get it back to so I can choose apps?
[14:34] <lesshaste> this is in quantal
[14:34] <ignerious> niklasfi: ok
[14:35] <StFS> cfhowlett: besides, that's technically not a single command... those are two commands with the second one dependant on the first one
[14:36] <ignerious> niklasfi: i have main function in the code
[14:36] <usr13> repsaj: We would have to know more about your network in order to determine what is wrong.
[14:36] <lesshaste> I don't know what the right name is.. the panel?
[14:36] <niklasfi> ignerious: we can continue this discussion in #c++-basic
[14:37] <cjae> cant believe you need to have a persistence file to do a synaptic update off a liveusb
[14:37] <ignerious> niklasfi: please join the channel you mention
[14:37] <usr13> repsaj: Do you just have all port 80 traffic forwarded to this server VIA it's router?  Do you have alias(s) for various sites?  or...?
[14:37] <IdleOne> lesshaste: in terminal type: unity --reset-icons
[14:37] <niklasfi> ignerious: sorry, its ##c++-basic
[14:37] <IdleOne> lesshaste: that should set it back to default icons
[14:38] <vitimiti> o/
[14:38] <repsaj> usr13: yes, all 80 and 22
[14:38] <usr13> repsaj: Are you using alias's?
[14:39] <dBLOOD> Hi people!
[14:39] <usr13> repsaj: How are you resolving the domain names to that particular server?
[14:40] <repsaj> usr13: all request go from router to server, then nginx picks up the request, then routes it based upon which subdomain is being requested.
[14:40] <ikonia> nginx is acting as s dns server ?
[14:40] <repsaj> usr13: i was never sure how the root domain ever worked
[14:40] <repsaj> ikonia: yeah
[14:41] <usr13> repsaj: The bottom line is that if the site that is served by apache2 is not accessable, and apache2 is not running, then task #1 would be to start apache.  service start apache2
[14:41] <repsaj> usr13: i do not usually have apache running though
[14:42] <dBLOOD> Can I merge two ext4 partition, one being a system partition, so that I don't have to reinstall my system?
[14:42] <usr13> repsaj: service start apache2
[14:42] <usr13> repsaj: What version of Ubuntu is running on this server?
[14:43] <usr13> dBLOOD: You can, but will need to re-write your /etc/fstab file to reflect changes.
[14:43] <usr13> repsaj: 10.04?  12.04?  _________?
[14:44] <repsaj> usr13: if i do that, it says unable to resolve host grrbox.com
[14:44] <repsaj> 12.10
[14:44] <dBLOOD> how can I do that?
[14:44] <dBLOOD> if the system was on sda1, grub was also on it, for example
[14:44] <repsaj> sorry 12.04.10
[14:45] <usr13> repsaj: But it's running now?  service apache2 status
[14:45] <dBLOOD> right, 12.04 xubuntu if it was for me
[14:46] <repsaj> usr13: it is not running
[14:46] <dBLOOD> after the merging, the new partition will have a new uuid?
[14:47] <repsaj> usr13: i logged out of ssh on the subdomain, and relogged in and tried to start apache, i get the error: (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
[14:47] <dBLOOD> *will the new etc.
[14:47] <usr13> repsaj: pastebinit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
[14:47] <dholbach> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek Day 1  starting in 13 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom
[14:47] <ikonia> repsaj: something is already running on port 80
[14:47] <repsaj> usr13: yes, i believe it is nginx
[14:47] <ikonia> repsaj: or you didn't start it as root
[14:47] <usr13> repsaj: sudo
[14:47] <Guest5932> kd
[14:47] <repsaj> usr13: yes i used sudo
[14:47] <dBLOOD> because my fstab has only has one
[14:47] <dBLOOD> -has
[14:48] <repsaj> ikonia: yes, nginx runs on 80
[14:48] <usr13> dBLOOD: Yes
[14:48] <ikonia> repsaj: then how can you expect to run apache on 80 ?
[14:48] <ikonia> repsaj: I would a.) resolve you resolution problems first b.) resolve your web server problems second
[14:48] <repsaj> ikonia: i actually don't expect it to run on 80, i usually have nginx handle this, but usr13 is saying i should turn on apache
[14:49] <dBLOOD> oh, so in a nutshell: boot from outer os, merge, copy-paste new uuid into fstab, and done?
[14:49] <dBLOOD> do I have to do anything with that bloody grub?
[14:49] <usr13> repsaj: It's like I said before.  It would be simplier to just run one server and have all your domains running on the one server.  How many do you have? 2 or 3 or???
[14:50] <repsaj> usr13: i'm pretty sure i only have nginx running
[14:50] <SeanyRocks> Hello everyone
[14:50] <usr13> repsaj: No, you told me you had both running. (I assumed you had them running on two different ports.)  Sorry, I missunderstood you.
[14:51] <repsaj> usr13: no, i'm sorry for the confusion, i'm a newb, i think i saw a message saying that i had apache running, so i just assumed that it was.
[14:51] <usr13> repsaj: So how do you have nginx set up?  Do you have VirtualHosts?
[14:52] <cjae> 10.04 still supported and is chntpw in it?
[14:52] <cjae> it is in 9.04 and 12.10 why wouldnt it be in 1.04
[14:52] <cjae> 10.04*
[14:53] <usr13> repsaj: You should probably join #nginx
[14:53] <dBLOOD> okay, thanks
[14:53] <ikonia> repsaj: you should really solve your name resolution problems first
[14:53] <repsaj> ikonia: yes, i'm having an issue with that.
[14:53] <dBLOOD> I knew I would have decent answers if I choose #ubuntu instead of #ubuntu-hu
[14:53] <ikonia> repsaj: before you are certain that is working %100 you are wasting your time with anything else
[14:53] <dBLOOD> bye
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> !info chntpw lucid | cjae
[14:53] <usr13> dBLOOD: What partitions do you want to merge?  (What is mounted on them?)
[14:54] <repsaj> usr13: i have virtual hosts set up via nginx
[14:54] <cjae> MonkeyDust: cool thanks, but I enabled  universe and still dont see it
[14:54] <usr13> repsaj: /join #nginx
[14:54] <SeanyRocks> I had a really stupid question which I haven't been able to find a suitable answer for by googling. Perhaps i'm searching the wrong keywords but how do i remove items from the Ubuntu's dash (I'm using 12.10) ? I've tried Alacarte but nothing changes. I've also tried editing .desktop files in /usr/share/applications which works but is not an ideal solution. For example if I hide the Universal Access app it removes that entry from System Settings
[14:54] <SeanyRocks> well. I would like it stay in system settings but I dont need to have it shown in the dash too.
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> cjae  try sudo apt-get update, first
[14:54] <SeanyRocks> Sorry for the long post
[14:55] <usr13> repsaj: I'd like to help, but don't know much about nginx  The folks at  #nginx would be better ones to ask.
[14:55] <usr13> repsaj: pastebinit the config file and share it.
[14:55] <repsaj> usr13: thanks for the suggestion, do you think that this is an nginx issue? i haven't touched the config files since i set up the subdomain a few months back and this problem just started happening this morning
[14:56] <cjae> MonkeyDust: well I just pressed reload before but I must have just been one sec too early cause it is there now, thanks for the bot tip too :-)
[14:56] <usr13> repsaj: I don't know for sure.  How are you having the domain names resolved?
[14:56] <tqrst-> can someone explain to me why I can't alt-fX anymore in the terminal? I'm stuck in this one terminal. Capslock doesn't do anything either.
[14:57] <repsaj> i have sites-available config files which routes requests
[14:57] <tqrst-> it used to work just fine, and I haven't changed anything that I can remember
[14:57] <ironm> Hello. Please allow me one question. Is there a free available ClearCase package for ubuntu? Thank you in advance for any hinst.
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> !find clearcase
[14:58] <usr13> repsaj: See my PM
[14:58] <zykotick9> tqrst-: try alt+(LorR)arrow as an alternative/test
[14:58] <tqrst-> zykotick9: ah, that works
[14:58] <tqrst-> zykotick9: odd
[14:59] <MonkeyDust> ironm  what's clearcase?
[14:59] <tqrst-> zykotick9: ah! f-lock
[14:59] <tqrst-> zykotick9: worst feature ever
[14:59] <ironm> thank you MonkeyDust
[15:00] <tqrst-> zykotick9: thanks
[15:00] <pluesch0r> hi everybody. i'd like to rename my ethernet device (from eth4 to dmz0) - but without a reboot (i know about the udev persistent-net & reboot-way); any idea how i can do that?

[15:03] <SeanyRocks> Sorry for the long post
[15:04] <repsaj> ikonia: thanks for your help
[15:04] <sote> SeanyRocks, Try installing a second or third DE instead
[15:06] <kostkon> SeanyRocks, try this app: http://www.iloveubuntu.net/menulibre-1301-released-significant-under-hood-improvements
[15:06] <helmut_> hi
[15:07] <SeanyRocks> sote: I know this sounds crazy but I actually want to use Unity.
[15:07] <SeanyRocks> thanks kostkon I will give it a read
[15:08] <bel3atar> hello, running this: sudo arpspoof -i wlan0 192.168.1.1 outputs nothing. what's wrong?
[15:13] <Lionthinker> hi
[15:13] <hje841> isn't read and write to/from a USB device supposed to be determenistic?
[15:15] <sote> My issue is, VLC Player has no sound.
[15:16] <sote> xine works fine but I miss VLC
[15:19] <Xetius> is there a way to set 'per-app' keybindings
[15:19] <Xetius> or to have an app which overrides the system key bindings when it is active
[15:20] <jrib> Xetius: try imwheel
[15:21] <Lionthinker> hi guys, i'm in the classroom session but can't post to it, is there a reason?
[15:21] <jrib> Xetius: hmm.  I *think* it works for regular keys too though maybe it's only mouse buttons
[15:21] <JoseeAntonioR> Lionthinker: Yes, you can chat in #ubuntu-classroom-chat, not in #ubuntu-classroom
[15:23] <BlackCyber> ji
[15:23] <BlackCyber> hi
[15:25] <jrib> Xetius: the other way is to turn on editable menu accelerators and then you can just edit the shortcuts straight from the menu
[15:27] <greek> Hi. I am using XChat. I've enabled system tray notifications. But for some reason when I minimise XChat it doesn't shot up in my system tray (and it's still in my taskbar, which I don't want)
[15:27] <skp1> can someone help me? the global menu for my terminal has dissapeared
[15:27] <usr13> skp1: F11?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> skp1: do other apps have global menu?
[15:28] <skp1> usr13: doesnt do anything, just maximises the terminal
[15:28] <lesshaste> IdleOne, that was quite exciting
[15:28] <skp1> ActionParsnip: yes
[15:28] <lesshaste> but still the unity-panel is empty
[15:28] <greek> I'm on 12.4
[15:28] <Xetius> jrib, Thanks.  IMWheel appears to only work for the mouse wheel...  I don't want to change the accelerators, but I want, for example, Ctrl-Alt-L to lock my machine, but when I'm using IntelliJ I want it to layout my code and not lock the machine.
[15:29] <lesshaste> IdleOne, oh! they are there.. just invisible!
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> skp1: does xterm work as expected?
[15:30] <jrib> Xetius: I don't know of an app that does that offhand.  You could hack something together so that when you press ctrl-alt-l it runs script_lock_or_layout and inside the script check for which window has focus
[15:30] <skp1> ActionParsnip: except for the global menu, yeah
[15:30] <skp1> it has a menubar inside the window though
[15:31] <usr13> skp1: Is it only gnome-terminal ?
[15:31] <skp1> ActionParsnip: which i had disabled
[15:31] <skp1> usr13: yes
[15:31] <Xetius> jrib, OK, thanks.  Just wondered if I was missing something obvious and just being stupid
[15:31] <Alessio> How do i change language of my ubuntu installation? / or install language packs. The guide says Preferences->language support. but there is not a such voice in the menu
[15:31] <jrib> Xetius: did you check ccsm?  I haven't looked at it in a while, but I know you can bind keys there (don't think it's per-app though)
[15:32] <TomyLobo> i'm trying to use reprepro to merge a bunch of PPAs into one repo. currently i'm creating repo/conf/updates. what do i enter after "VerifyRelease:" for a PPA?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> skp1: do you have the gnome-globalmenu package installed?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> skp1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544171
[15:34] <TomyLobo> it supposedly is a 16-hex-character key, but i can only find a 40 character fingerprint and some signing key with an 8 character hex thingy after it
[15:34] <skp1> ActionParsnip: i dont have that package installed
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> skp1: try the activities detailed in the bug
[15:37] <usr13> skp1: If you right-click somewhere on the terminal window, do you get a context menu?
[15:37] <skp1> usr13: yes
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> skp1_: if you use terminal a lot, I can recommend guake
[15:39] <skp1> ActionParsnip: i logged out and back in and the problem is fixed. nm i guess.
[15:40] <skp1> i wonder what caused it though
[15:40] <TomyLobo> i'm trying to use reprepro to merge a bunch of PPAs into one repo. currently i'm creating repo/conf/updates. what do i enter after "VerifyRelease:" for a PPA? it supposedly is a 16-character hex keyid, but i can only find a 40 character fingerprint and some signing key with an 8 character hex thingy after it
[15:41] <auronandace> TomyLobo: merging a bunch of ppas into one repo sounds like a dependency nightmare just waiting to go wrong

[15:43] <MJK1> hey, guys. I have a problem. my iPod Classic won't mount on Ubuntu anymore. I have 12.10. can anyone help me?
[15:43] <shakaponk> hey guyz, its driving me insane. want to install debian on a partition. downloaded an iso file and want to put it on the usb stick. got unetbootin. in nautilus its an executable but i can't run it (in ubuntu)
[15:44] <hsnmck> hello, I have two netowrk interfaces, is there a way to force firefox to use one interface and chrome to use the other one? thanks.
[15:45] <usr13> hsnmck: Strange request.  What are these two interfaces plugged into?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> shakaponk: you'd use unetbootin to put the ISO on the USB stick (I assume you MD5 tested the file)
[15:45] <MJK1> hey, guys. I have a problem. my iPod Classic won't mount on Ubuntu anymore. I have 12.10. can anyone help me?
[15:46] <shakaponk> ActionParsnip: no i didn't but i downloaded it from the original site... doesnt mean anything but ... anyway didn't do it
[15:46] <hsnmck> usr13, I want to use the eth0 to use secure stuff, and the wlan(it's faster but unsecure) to use the other public stuff
[15:46] <aeon-ltd> hsnmck: that'd be cool, but is there any use besides speed testing? if anything you'd want to utilize the max possible bandwidth
[15:47] <FrantiK> hi
[15:47] <FrantiK> i downloaded 12.10 for a quick run
[15:47] <FrantiK> and short to say, i dont like the new interface at all
[15:48] <hsnmck> aeon-ltd, I want to use the eth0 to use secure stuff, and the wlan(it's faster but unsecure) to use the other public stuff
[15:48] <usr13> hsnmck: Why not just use eth0?
[15:48] <FrantiK> is there a tutorial on getting gnome or whatever else instead ?
[15:48] <FrantiK> (is that even doable ?)
[15:48] <hsnmck> usr13, it's slower
[15:48] <erupter> sure is
[15:48] <usr13> hsnmck: wlan is faster?
[15:48] <erupter> FrantiK, just google
[15:48] <hsnmck> usr13, yep
[15:48] <erupter> FrantiK, you can use kde, xfce, gnome, whatever really
[15:48] <hsnmck> usr13, two different sources
[15:48] <usr13> hsnmck: Two different networks?
[15:49] <hsnmck> usr13, yep
[15:49] <FrantiK> erupter, no thanks, as the topic says, this is the official support channel.
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> hsnmck: you can join them into one connection and use the speed of both
[15:49] <FrantiK> erupter, and i'm sure i can use whatever i want, i'm just not sure about the procedure to use to do that
[15:50] <MJK1> can anyone help me here? iPod Classic won't mount anymore
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> FrantiK: Unity is a shell for Gnome, you have gnome installed
[15:50] <hsnmck> ActionParsnip, it isn't what I want, I want to send some traffic through one interface to be secure, I'm afraid to have a man-in-the-middle!
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> hsnmck: its just software on the same PC you are sat at
[15:51] <FrantiK> ActionParsnip, duh, i'd like it to look like the classical gnome then........
[15:51] <FrantiK> because i dont like the way the whole thing is setup right now
[15:51] <hsnmck> ActionParsnip, the gateway is different!
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> FrantiK  try falback
[15:52] <erupter> FrantiK, http://bit.ly/Yf8Mbd

[15:52] <away> FrantiK, quick google query shows http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> FrantiK: install gnome-panel   log off, log in to the new session, or install xfce4 and do the same
[15:52] <erupter> FrantiK, http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[15:52] <erupter> what that really so hard?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> erupter: ubuntu 12.04 uses gnome as the DE ;)
 TomyLobo: merging a bunch of ppas into one repo sounds like a dependency nightmare just waiting to go wrong
[15:53] <FrantiK> as i said, i'm on 12.10
[15:53] <erupter> ActionParsnip, I know, was just giving out options
[15:53] <FrantiK> is the procedure identical ?
[15:53] <TomyLobo> as opposed to using that same bunch of ppas?
[15:53] <erupter> FrantiK, yes
[15:53] <FrantiK> (erupter : use your brain, i already told you i came there because this was the SUPPORT channel)
[15:53] <auronandace> TomyLobo: i avoid ppas altogether
[15:54] <TomyLobo> i dont
[15:54] <FrantiK> brb checking those pages.
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> FrantiK  please stay polite, we're all volunteers
[15:54] <TomyLobo> not when there's something in there that i need
[15:54] <auronandace> TomyLobo: just as long as you know ppas can't be supported here
[15:54] <TomyLobo> how about the whole ppa process itself?
[15:55] <TomyLobo> should be ontopic imo
[15:55]  * erupter believes in "do your best, God will do the rest"
[15:55] <FrantiK> MonkeyDust, i am polite, i just don't like people sending me off to google an answer when i'm in a support channel (and do i even need to state that i looked on google before coming ? i had a reason to come by).
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> FrantiK: if you dislike Unity/Gnome I recommend you install Xubuntu and it won't even be installed :)
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> FrantiK: not unreasonable
[15:56] <FrantiK> nah, i'm testing a "real" ubuntu, i had a kubuntu before
[15:57] <auronandace> FrantiK: kubuntu is officially supported
[15:57] <FrantiK> ActionParsnip, what is unreasonnable is expect me to not be rude when i get a snarky comment like "was that hard"; if he wanna speak to people like they're kids, he should go in a school.
[15:57] <FrantiK> auronandace, i know, i was just mentionning why i'm not installing a xubuntu
[15:57] <orb> Let me google that for you.
[15:57] <orb> *snicker*
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> FrantiK: its a good option for folks not liking Unity, or you could install minimal then install fluxbox and don't bother with the DE at all :)
[15:58] <auronandace> FrantiK: sorry, i don't understand what you mean by "real"
[15:58] <MJK1> hey, guys. I have a problem. my iPod Classic won't mount on Ubuntu anymore. I have 12.10. can anyone help me?
[15:58] <orb> MJK1, will it work with windows?
[15:58] <FrantiK> auronandace, official, not diverted from main branch, not depending/been changed to something
[15:58] <FrantiK> i have my own reasons.
[15:59] <FrantiK> anyway thanks for the help, i'll be on my way to test these pages indications
[15:59] <FrantiK> have a good day
[15:59] <MJK1> orb, I haven't tried it on Windows since I reinstalled W7 a few days ago.
[15:59] <orb> You should. :D
[15:59] <Xetius> MJK1, did it ever work in 12.10?  What changed?
[15:59] <buscon> hi
[16:00] <orb> I mean, just to see if it mounts as a drive, mjrosenb
[16:00] <buscon> how can I edit the grub menu?
[16:00] <orb> er, i mean MJK1
[16:00] <MJK1> Xetius, it worked just fine until a few days ago. I don't know what changed
[16:00] <buscon> i mean, where's the file that contains the menu?
[16:00] <MJK1> orb, I could go and try it out in a few
[16:00] <MJK1> unless someone can help me out before I decide to go to Windows
[16:00] <chieflion> trying to get ubuntu on mac burned image but it wont boot
[16:00] <orb> But if Ubuntu is your only option, see if new /dev/sd* devices appear when you plug in it. Or tail -f /var/log/syslog
[16:01] <chieflion> powerpc g4
[16:01] <orb> Do the last thing I mentioned, MJK1. From a command line.
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> chieflion: what GPU does the mac use?
[16:02] <MJK1> orb, it says my write cache is disabled.
[16:03] <orb> That's a normal message.
[16:03] <Vesko> :)
[16:03] <orb> do a: ls -ltr /dev/sd*
[16:03] <MJK1> orb, I did that. now what?
[16:04] <chieflion> ibook g4 ubuntu possible?
[16:05] <orb> Does the line at the bottom have the time that is from when you plugged in the ipod?
[16:05] <MJK1> orb, yes it does
[16:05] <orb> What is it showing? Like /dev/sdb1 maybe?
[16:05] <MJK1> sdl
[16:05] <MJK1> orb, sdl, and sdl1, actually
[16:06] <orb> For some reason Ubuntu isn't automatically mounting it.
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> chieflion: you didn't answer my question
[16:06] <Dougie187> I'm having a weird issue in the gnome terminal. When ever I type a directory (like /tm for example) and then hit tab to complete it, it finishes the name as /tmp and then adds a space at the end of the directory, instead of a /. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[16:06] <MJK1> and it was doing that just fine last week.
[16:07] <orb> You could automatically mount it.
[16:07] <orb> Have you tried just restarting the OS?
[16:07] <JuJuBee> I installed ubuntu 12.10 on a machine and I use nis, but on the login screen I only see the local user that was created on install.  I can login via ctrl-alt-f1 using my network account, but how do I do this from gui?
[16:07] <orb> You can automatically mount it like this:
[16:07] <JuJuBee> With kubuntu, the login screen was username and password
[16:07] <orb> mkdir /media/ipod
[16:07] <orb> mount /dev/sd1 /media/ipod
[16:07] <MJK1> orb, I've restarted the OS, I've logged out and logged back in, I've restarted the iPod itself, and I've gotten no results. I'll try that right now, thanks
[16:07] <orb> or
[16:08] <orb> /dev/sdl1 actually.
[16:08] <orb> MJK1, it seems crazy that the letter would be l.
[16:08] <usr13> JuJuBee: Just change username
[16:08] <orb> MJK1, do you have sda, b, c, through l?
[16:09] <MJK1> orb, this is what my result was: mount: can't find /dev/sdl/media/ipod in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[16:09] <usr13> JuJuBee: What DE are you using?
[16:09] <orb> well, not sdl
[16:09] <orb> but sdl1
[16:09] <belgianguy> is there an FTp tool that works with password protected SSH keys?
[16:09] <orb> mount /dev/sdl1 /media/ipod
[16:09] <belgianguy> filezilla doesn't support them AFAIK
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> orb: when you last unplugged it, did you use the safe remove feature in the OS, or did you just yank it out?
[16:10] <JuJuBee> usr13: I cannot change username, no box only click on user then get password box
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: gftp, maybe
[16:10] <JuJuBee> Using default ubuntu install, so unity?
[16:10] <orb> ActionParsnip, you mean MJK1 i think
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> oh
[16:10] <MJK1> orb, I get the same result either way. and I have sda, sda1, sda2, sdab, sda5, 4, 2, and 1, and sdl and sdl1
[16:10] <sgtkilljoy> belgianguy: ftp over ssh, sftp?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> MJK1: when you last unplugged the device, did you safetly remove it or did you just yank it out?
[16:11] <belgianguy> sgtkilljoy: yeah, it supports sftp, just not password protected SSH keys
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> orb: thanks
[16:11] <orb> l seems high
[16:11] <MJK1> orb:"mount point /media/ipod does not exist"
[16:12] <MJK1> ActionParsnip, I don't remember. sometimes I eject, sometimes I don't
[16:12] <orb> MJK1, you probably didn't do: mkdir /media/ipod first.
[16:12] <lacrymology> can I get help setting up the sun java runtime? I followed some instructions on the web, but I seem to still have a bad version
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> MJK1: you need to eject each time, i suggest you connect it to a windows system, then safely remove it
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> lacrymology: there is a PPA
[16:13] <MJK1> okay, I just made the directory, I think, orb. now I'm going to try that command again
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> lacrymology: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[16:14] <MJK1> orb: nothing happened. I went to the computer folder and it's named "160 GB Drive". I right-clicked, and tried to eject, and it said it can't be ejected, because it's mounted
[16:14] <orb> MJK1, i may have lost sight of what it is you want to do - you just want to mount the ipod as a drive and access its files?
[16:14] <crypted> how would one patch a very old 1.1.2 to something newer w/o having to redev the entire config for a device?
[16:14] <crypted> err ignore
[16:14] <MJK1> orb: I want my iPod to mount so I can sync it
[16:15] <orb> MJK1, to unmount it, do either of: umount /dev/sdl1
[16:15] <orb> or umount /media/ipod
[16:15] <evanderv> Hi everyone.
[16:15] <noobysauce> hello
[16:15] <orb> MJK1, this is the manual way to do it - you probably want it to work automatically and I don't know why it's not. This manual way of doing it might be more of a pain in the ass than you want.
[16:16] <belgianguy> or is SFTP with password protected SSH keys overkill?
[16:16] <orb> But anyway, once it is mounted it, I assume you can use your ipod program and point it to /media/ipod
[16:16] <MJK1> orb: "umount: /dev/sdl1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[16:16] <orb> try the other, /media/ipod
[16:16] <MJK1> I right-clicked it in Nautilus, and it says it
[16:16] <evanderv> Any idea how I can track down how a zip file is being created every night around midnight?  I have looked through cron files and no such luck.  I know what user creates it.
[16:16] <jkbbwr> how can i block all requests to port 80 unless the source is in a whitelist:?
[16:16] <orb> If /media/ipod isn't mounted, then perhaps Nautilus figured out how to do it on its own.
[16:16] <MJK1> and it says it's mounted*
[16:17] <orb> From the command line simply type the word "mount" and see all things mounted. Try to figure out which one is the ipod.
[16:18] <orb> It won't be an ext filetype and it won't be the thing mounted as /
[16:18] <MJK1> orb, could this be it? "gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/daniel/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=daniel"
[16:18] <orb> hmm, no, not under /run, it would be under /dev i'm pretty sure.
[16:18] <orb> unless it's some kinda new feature i'm unaware of.
[16:18] <orb> Ubuntu 12.04?
[16:18] <MJK1> orb, the only thing under dev is sdb5
[16:18] <MJK1> 12.10
[16:19] <lacrymology> ActionParsnip: I've got oracle-java8-installer, the link you sent talks about java7. Now, if I have that installed, and java -version returns the right thing, how come some java apps complain about the java version? is the app (jDownloader) wrong, or maybe I have two versions of java lying around?
[16:19] <orb> MJK1, that sounds right - can you just paste that line here?
[16:19] <orb> or type
[16:19] <awsoonn> hi all, I just installed ubuntu-server on a computer and the screen size appears to be larger than the physical display. I'm not seeing part of the right and bottom of the screen. What can I do to fix this?
[16:20] <godzirra> Hey guys.  If I'm using ubuntu 12.10, where do I edit my core xorg.conf?  I'm trying to get a displaylink adapter working.
[16:20] <MJK1> orb, sdb5 can't be my iPod, though, because it's an ext4
[16:20] <godzirra> So I need to edit my monitors and such.
[16:20] <orb> awsoonn, is that text only?
[16:20] <awsoonn> yea, just console
[16:20] <shade34321> I am using a nfs mount for /home on a few computers. I recently upgraded this and rsync the home directories between the two. Now when I log in it loads my wallpaper but just freezes there Any idea why?
[16:20] <orb> MJK1, well, it could ext4 if your formatted the ipod by accident.
[16:20] <lacrymology> ActionParsnip: I can confirm that the problem's not with the java command, but with javac
[16:20] <awsoonn> I should note that the grub menu also appears to have the same problem.
[16:21] <orb> MJK1, maybe you should try it on Windows.
[16:21] <orb> That might explain why things aren't working.
[16:21] <belgianguy> okay, SFTP will have to do :p
[16:22] <MJK1> orb, sdb5 is my partitioned hard drive. I split it in two. I'll try to stick it in on Windows. and then I should eject it, and come back on Ubuntu?
[16:22] <orb> I think that depends on what Windows demonstrates.
[16:22] <orb> if it can't mount or use the ipod, you may just have to run an itunes restore of it.
[16:22] <jappleseed> hi
[16:23] <MJK1> orb: what am I hoping will happen on Windows? okay, I can do that.
[16:23] <MJK1> gonna get to it now. I'll come back with my results
[16:23] <jrib> shade34321: check ~/.xsession-errors
[16:23] <orb> MJK1, which would mean formatting the ipod. Hope you had a backup.
[16:24] <shade34321> jrib: ok, give me just a sec since I just restared unity on it to see if that helps
[16:25] <rdffffff> ch rm #pat
[16:29] <jkbbwr> I have ufw installed, I have 80, 8080 and http in the firewall rules
[16:29] <MJK1> orb: worked like a charm!
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> MJK1: the eject made it ok?
[16:30] <jkbbwr> Seriously
[16:30] <MJK1> ActionParsnip: yeah, Windows mounted it, then I ejected and came back to Ubuntu, and it mounted here too
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> MJK1: like I said, you must use the feature. It's there for a reason.
[16:30] <jkbbwr> ufw isn't blocking properly
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> MJK1: thats why its the first thing I ask
[16:31] <MJK1> ActionParsnip: I will from now on, thank you
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> no worries :)
[16:31] <MJK1> have a good day, everyone!
[16:31] <shade34321> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1586302/ that is my ~/.xsession-errors
[16:31] <TomyLobo> "The function gpgme_get_key gets the key with the fingerprint (or key ID) fpr from the crypto backend" - how do i store something in that crypto backend?
[16:31] <shade34321> can I just delete those files and get them remade?
[16:32] <jrib> shade34321: does this happen with a fresh new account?
[16:33] <shade34321> jrib: haven't tried that. Got roughly 40 users and don't really want to make them all new accounts:/
[16:33] <jrib> shade34321: just for troubleshooting purposes
[16:33] <shade34321> jrib: ok. Give me a second
[16:33] <jkbbwr> how can I deny all traffic bar 22 to my system using ufw
[16:33] <jrib> !ufw | jkbbwr
[16:33] <jkbbwr> because atm ufw has the block rule and its still letting traffic through
[16:33] <jkbbwr> 80                         DENY        Anywhere
[16:33] <jkbbwr> 8080                       DENY        Anywhere
[16:33] <jkbbwr> 80/tcp                     DENY        Anywhere
[16:34] <jkbbwr> But I can still hit port 80 just fine
[16:34] <ry|an> I can tell
[16:34] <ry|an> whats the problem here
[16:34] <jrib> jkbbwr: is ufw enabled?
[16:34] <ry|an> you are using ufw instead of iptables
[16:34] <jkbbwr> ry|an: so?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: tried restarting ufw?
[16:34] <martyn> hallo
[16:34] <ry|an> that's obviousyl the source of this problem
[16:34] <MonkeyDust> jkbbwr  type sudo ufw status
[16:34] <ry|an> obviously*
[16:35] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: Fuck
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: ?
[16:35] <jkbbwr> I just nuked my ssh connection
[16:35] <ry|an> thats what you get for not using iptables
[16:35] <thankless> Good day/night fellow ubuntees (old and new)
[16:36] <jrib> ry|an: stop please
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: did you allow 22/tcp through?
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> ry|an: ufw isn't bad at all
[16:36] <ry|an> jrib I'm just trying to save this man from the pain and suffering ufw causes
[16:36] <jrib> ry|an: yes, ok you've made it clear that you prefer iptables over ufw, let's move on to actually offering help
[16:37] <thankless> Anyone willing to spare five minutes (I ask for no more) to help me with an ubuntu deployment?
[16:37] <jrib> !ask | thankless
[16:37] <johnny_bravo> hi
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> thankless  ask and wait
[16:37] <thankless> apologies
[16:38] <johnny_bravo> i would like to use setfacl to give a user permission on a dir same as the owner permission recursivly.
[16:38] <johnny_bravo> i cant find any doc on this
[16:38] <moods> Im having a weird issue in Ubuntu 12.10, when playing music in Banshee, Tomahawk or VLC, I sometimes get weird stutters/hitches, it happends maybe once every 5-10 minutes, but ive bene unable to figure out whats going on, it doesnt happend on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.10 aswell.
[16:39] <johnny_bravo> could anyone point me in the right direction?
[16:39] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1586323/
[16:39] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: but I can still hit it
[16:39] <Kazzzbar> My sister got a new laptop with windows 7 starter on ( we dont judge) but cant seem to access her computer on the network, my computer picks up my other XP computer perfectly, we all on same workroup. Running 12.10

[16:40] <thankless> I am trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop through a PXE server (tftp) on Windows 7. I have followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot - the target laptop boots but returns no boot filename received
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> Kazzzbar: have you shared a folder on the Win7 OS?
[16:40] <moods> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a0c67de10ce1134f795104680757995403b2a410
[16:40] <moods> thats my output
[16:41] <erupter> hey gusy: I'm repartition to get a larger space for my ubuntu. I guess once I'm done copying data over with DD won't suffice, what else do I have to do?
[16:41] <Kazzzbar> ActionParsnip: Yes, and also removed password protection
[16:42] <vovarik> у кого есть ключ для GuitarPro 6 под Ubuntu?
[16:42] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: I shouldn't be able to hit it

[16:42] <ouyes> Is there anyway to make my laptop works on dual boot? I installed windows7 and ubuntu, but the grub was installed in the usb hard drive, if I want to boot into ubuntu, I have to insert the usb drive and change the bios uefi settings.
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> Kazzzbar: Win7 uses a weird authentication method, you will need to use passwords
[16:42] <moods> oh right the powersave thing, read about that somewhere.
[16:42] <moods> ill see if it works, thanks :)
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> moods: hope it helps
[16:43] <mozzl3> hello.
[16:43] <mojtaba> Hi, I have recently installed ubuntu 12.10 64x on my sony laptop, but it frequently freezes.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: have you tested RAM from Memtest86+ in Grub?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: have you tried a non-compositing desktop, like XFCE?
[16:44] <Kazzzbar> @ActionParsnip, Typical windows..alright, thanks, I will give it a go
[16:44] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: I am pretty new to linux
[16:44] <mojtaba> could you please let me know what should I do step by step?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> mojtaba: hold SHIFT at boot, select memtest, let it run for 15 - 20 mins. If you see RED, the RAM is bad
[16:45] <mojtaba> ok, thanks, I will do that and let you know the result
[16:46] <mozzl3> hello,i
[16:46] <Jeremy3D> just started ubuntu and had no toolbars after logging in. ran unity --reset and i've got toolbars but terminal is showing a lot of errors/WARNs
[16:47] <jmknsd> every so often my laptop will turn itself on from sleep while it is in my bag
[16:47] <jmknsd> is there a way to tell what is causing this?
[16:48] <ddosantos> maybe you don't close it properly?
[16:48] <jmknsd> I did
[16:48] <jmknsd> and it was off
[16:49] <ddosantos> off or sleep?
[16:49] <jmknsd> sleep
[16:49] <jmknsd> I came back and everything was as I left it.
[16:50] <ddosantos> then it didn't wake¿
[16:50] <jmknsd> It did
[16:50] <Jeremy3D> this thing is still going showing errors, should i be concerned?????
[16:50] <jmknsd> just while it was in my bag
[16:51] <ddosantos> do you have something else in the bag? something that could touch de mouse or whatever? can you lock the laptop?
[16:51] <jmknsd> It was latched shut
[16:51] <jmknsd> no way to bump anything to turn it on from the outside
[16:52] <ddosantos> really weird
[16:52] <vinay_> 260972
[16:53] <jmknsd> it happens every so often
[16:53] <jmknsd> maybe every other month
[16:54] <jkbbwr> seriously ufw isn't working
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> jkbbwr  then take this other guy's advice and use iptables
[16:55] <ehc> seems like smlnj https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/smlnj isn't available in 12.04. Would a earlier version work? Or should I just compile from src?
[16:55] <ouyes_> I find a software in the ubuntu software center, and it is a deb package, I am wondering if it is possible I can download the source of that package?( the develop web is not reachable)
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> ouyes_  try apt-get source [package]
[16:56] <gandhijee_> i know ubuntu 10.10 is unsupported now, but are there any repo's that still maintain its base packages?
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> gandhijee_: none at all
[16:57] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip:
[16:57] <jkbbwr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1586374/
[16:57] <jkbbwr> its still allowing traffic though
[16:57] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade
[16:58] <OerHeks> gandhijee_, see the "old-releases" part >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#Upgrade
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> gandhijee_: i'd go for a clean install of Precise. Its supported til April 2017. If you dislike Unity, install Xubuntu
[16:59] <moods> seems to have fixed it ActionParsnip  :) thanks alot.
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> moods: yay!
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> moods: I suggest you backup that file (or just the command), for reinstalls
[17:00] <ouyes_> MonkeyDust, it is working thats
[17:00] <ouyes_> MonkeyDust, I get the source
[17:01] <gandhijee_> ActionParsnip: i can't i have some software that i need to build or someone, and their system is based on ubuntu 10.10
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: could ask in the ufw channel maybe
[17:01] <gandhijee_> OerHeks: thanks!
[17:01] <usr13> When EOL is reached, that version is unsupported and what unsupported means is that there are no more updates and no repos that maintain it's packages.
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> gandhijee_: how do you mean 'based on 10.10' ?
[17:02] <gandhijee_> ActionParsnip: umm, they took 10.10 and stripped it down to what they needed.
[17:02] <MonkeyDust> gandhijee_  basically, eol means 'dead'
[17:02] <usr13> !lts | gandhijee_
[17:02] <quidnunc> After running sudo my credentials are cached so that I don't have to enter a password for some amount of time afterwards. How do I clear that cache?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> gandhijee_: I see
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> quidnunc: sudo -k
[17:02] <gandhijee_> MonkeyDust: chips are EOL's all the time, but that doesnt mean you cant buy them on the grey market after the are EOL'd
[17:02] <quidnunc> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[17:02] <jkbbwr> what ufw channel?
[17:03] <gandhijee_> EOL doesn't need to imply that the already existing software packages for it MUST disappear.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: #ufw   maybe
[17:03] <gandhijee_> it just means they will no long maintain and provide updates.
[17:03] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: empty
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> gandhijee_: it means no support and no packages
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr:  '#ufw-open' on IRC network 'euIRC'
[17:09] <moods> hehe already saved it to a txt file on my dropbox ActionParsnip  =)

[17:10] <doan> hey guys, I trying to play a native game in 4:3 and lower resolution than my native screen's resolution. I already fix my problem for set up another resolution in fullscreen than the native one. But now I cant fix the aspect ratio 4:3. I got a stretched image.
[17:11] <doan> I looked into the GPU Scaling but I didn't find any useful tricks
[17:11] <doan> Btw: Running nVidia proprietary driver 304.51 and Counter-Strike 1.6 beta from steam
[17:12] <afreerunner> heya
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> doan: loved the betas
[17:12] <afreerunner> hello?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> afreerunner: howdy
[17:12] <doan> ActionParsnip, what do u mean ? =)
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> doan: from the early 2000s
[17:13] <paoloumali> anyone here who is using vagrant?
[17:13] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: this is pathetic
[17:13] <jkbbwr> :(
[17:13] <fidel> !anyone | paoloumali
[17:13] <doan> ActionParsnip, yeah it was just a useless precision
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: never used it, i use my router as a firewall

[17:15] <doan> There was a scaling option in the nvidia-settings but it's gone
[17:16] <magma> hi, how can I restart the X ?
[17:16] <magma> or kill the X
[17:16] <magma> the shortcut ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work
[17:16] <llutz> jkbbwr: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-4-block-all-incoming-traffic-but-allow-ssh.html
[17:16] <magma> with unity
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> magma  stop lightdm ?
[17:17] <Aknot> IS there irc network for art/music/politics/culture and so on
[17:17] <jkbbwr> llutz: and I wanna configure on the fly
[17:17] <qhartman> magma, hit ctrl-alt-f1 to go to a virtual terminal, login, and enter the command "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart"
[17:17] <jkbbwr> llutz: without learning iptables
[17:17] <magma> qhartman, ok thanks
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> Aknot  type /msg alis list *culture* or replace culture with some other keyword
[17:18] <magma> qhartman, if I enter the virtual terminal and then want to go back to X, what's the shortcut for that?
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> Aknot  that is, with the asterisks
[17:19] <Aknot> doesnt that show only channels in this network?
[17:19] <Aknot> monkeydust
[17:19] <qhartman> magma, ctrl-alt-F7
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: tried gufw ?
[17:19] <jkbbwr> ActionParsnip: its a server, no x
[17:19] <MonkeyDust> Aknot  correct
[17:19] <magma> qhartman, amazing, how did you know that?
[17:19] <usr13> magma: if you are in tty6, just Alt-Right-Arrow
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> Aknot  well, if the channel has double #, it's outside freenode
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: ahhhh
[17:20] <afreerunner> all america?
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> jkbbwr: could try in #ubuntu-server
[17:20] <qhartman> magma, been doing this since 1994
[17:20] <usr13> magma: I don't skip down to tty1, I always just go next door to tty6.
[17:20] <qhartman> or so
[17:20] <wine> hello
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> afreerunner: UK here
[17:20] <afreerunner> lol
[17:20] <qhartman> usr13, but the longer walk will do his legs some good.
[17:20] <wine> India here!
[17:21] <magma> qhartman, what distro did you use back then?
[17:21] <Aknot> monkeydust is there a way to search for channels across ALL networks?
[17:21] <usr13> qhartman: and he may not be as lazy as I am.
[17:21] <afreerunner> cool
[17:21] <atlef> norway
[17:21] <NewbieBodhi> does anyone know which version of the game, the package warzone2100 is?
[17:22] <jkbbwr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1586439/
[17:22] <llutz> !info warzone2100 | NewbieBodhi
[17:22] <ddosantos> I am still having some issues when mounting my external drive :-s
[17:22] <atlef> !warzone2100
[17:22] <usr13> magma: tty1-6 are console systems that you can use (on most all Linux systems).
[17:22] <ddosantos> I have my path /media/drive with permissions 777 and owned by root
[17:22] <atlef> !warzone
[17:22] <ddosantos> then mount the device
[17:22] <atlef> hmm
[17:23] <ddosantos> the path becomes owned by my user
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> Aknot  guess that would take centuries
[17:23] <ddosantos> and permissions change
[17:23] <magma> usr13, what's a console system?
[17:23] <ddosantos> so I can't share it by samba
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> ddosantos: what file system are you mounting?
[17:23] <ddosantos> ntfs
[17:23] <ddosantos> an Iomega device
[17:23] <usr13> magma: It's a mode not necessarily a system.
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> ddosantos: thought so, sharing ntfs with samba is painful
[17:24] <magma> ok
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> ddosantos: you need to set the permissions on the mount so that everyone has full access, you cannoy chmod / chown ntfs
[17:24] <usr13> magma: tty1-6 are console terminals.  tty7 is for the GUI and tty8 and above are not used, (on most linux systems, not all).
[17:24] <ddosantos> yeah but I thought I could chmod /media/drive before mounting
[17:24] <magma> I see
[17:25] <magma> thanks
[17:25] <ddosantos> didn't expect it would loose the permissions AFTER mount
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> ddosantos: its set at mount time. I suggest you add an entry in /etc/fstab so it mounts correctly
[17:25] <ddosantos> yes, I did
[17:25] <zykotick9> qhartman: just side note - while it is ctrl+alt+fX from Xorg, once in a virtual console you only require alt+FX to switch (or alt+arrow key)
[17:25] <ddosantos> UUID="D27431CF7431B6D7" /media/drive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=es_ES.UTF-8 0 1
[17:26] <ddosantos> it does mount when typing mount /media/drive
[17:26] <ddosantos> but permissions become drwx------
[17:27] <ddosantos> they are drwxrwxrwx when umounted
[17:27] <llutz> ddosantos: you use mount-options like uid/gid/umask, not chown/chmod on non-unix-filesystems like ntfs
[17:28] <ddosantos> llutz can you explain a little more?
[17:28] <mojtaba> ActionParsnip: It is completed with no error
[17:28] <mojtaba> What could be the next step?

[17:39] <mojtaba> Does anybody know what should I do?
[17:40] <anon> thanks
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> !repeat | mojtaba
[17:40] <llutz> ddosantos:it is, but you are missing the mount-options (uid, gid, umask) to give user access to the fs. try "UUID="D27431CF7431B6D7" /media/drive ntfs-3g defaults,locale=es_ES.UTF-8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 0 1"
[17:40] <recon_lap> mojtaba: have a look in you logs and see if there are any error messages. /var/log
[17:41] <mojtaba> recon_lap: ok thank you, I will take a look
[17:42] <MichaelT1> I have Ubuntiu 10.04 and 12.04.  In File Browser, how do i add my own shortcuts to the left most window which shows PLACES, TREE, etc.?
[17:42] <recon_lap> mojtaba: and is it a hard lock, you can check by using the CAPS LOCK key, if the CAP light on your keyboard does not change then it's a hard lockup.
[17:42] <ry|an> !autism
[17:42] <ry|an> ok
[17:43] <mojtaba> recon_lap: there are lots of files in that directory
[17:43] <mojtaba> My keyboard does not have light!
[17:43] <ddosantos> llutz: uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002 does this give permissions to everyone?
[17:43] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Which one should I check?
[17:43] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Actually I am pretty new to linux era
[17:43] <ddosantos> rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 that is what I saw in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[17:44] <recon_lap> mojtaba: think the end of /var/log/dmesg
[17:44] <llutz> ddosantos: read "man mount", no it doesn't. it gives rwx to uid/gid=1000, and rx to others
[17:44] <mojtaba> recon_lap: let me see
[17:44] <marscher> hi
[17:44] <mojtaba> recon_lap: There is 5 dmesg file
[17:44] <marscher> i want to downgrade a package (libdrm2) to a specific version, but this will produce broken dependancies
[17:44] <marscher> how can i temporarly ignore this?
[17:44] <recon_lap> mojtaba: and is there a trigger for the crashes? a program you use a lot?
[17:44] <MichaelT1> I have Ubuntiu 10.04 and 12.04.  In File Browser, how do i add my own shortcuts to the left most window which shows PLACES, TREE, etc.?
[17:45] <mojtaba> dmesg, dmesg.0, dmesg.1.gz
[17:45] <mojtaba> to 4
[17:45] <MichaelT1> Not sure who to ask in this HUGE room!
[17:45] <vasilakisfil> how can I install (from cli) all packets that their name start with the same prefix, like packet0.10-
[17:45] <vasilakisfil> ?
[17:45] <bipul> Is there anyway to Connect vboxnet0 and eth0, in order to communicate with each other.
[17:45] <mojtaba> recon_lap: I just close the lid and then, it is freezed
[17:45] <marscher> apt-get install -f libdrm=version does not work
[17:45] <meddie> marscher, man i don't think it can be ignored
[17:45] <MonkeyDust> MichaelT1  ctrl D or Bookmarks > add bookmark
[17:46] <banlieue> hi everyone, anybody play counter strike beta with intel vga? i cant disable vsync..
[17:46] <vasilakisfil> when I hit sudo apt-get install packet0.10- it actually removes a bunge of packets..
[17:46] <mojtaba> recon_lap: I have set it to do nothing when the lid is closed
[17:46] <MichaelT1> Thanks!  How simple can you get!
[17:46] <marscher> pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[17:46] <recon_lap> mojtaba: and that triggers the crash every time? if so , you probably need to check you bios for power saving setting on lid closing
[17:47] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Could the problem be with the graphic card?
[17:47] <marscher> but i dont have any holded packages
[17:47] <mojtaba> recon_lap: would you please let me know from where I can do that?
[17:47] <krux> so i am setting an ad-hoc with ubuntu 12.04 but i can connect 2 client pcs to it when i don't set a password.. for some odd reason the 2 clients are windows pcs keep saying wrong password.. anybody got any idea ?..
[17:48]  * v4creations first time to ubuntu-in
[17:48] <recon_lap> mojtaba: hard to know, but i'm thinking you got a power management issue. what the make and model of the computer
[17:49] <mojtaba> recon_lap: It is vpccw21fd
[17:49] <ddosantos> llutz: I edited fstab and mounted again but it changed again, drwx------, and owned by my user
[17:49] <ddosantos> I am giving it a reboot
[17:50] <meddie> mojtaba perhaps you have an amd processor and installed i386
[17:50] <mojtaba> meddie: how can I check that to be sure?
[17:50] <nIcestAdie> WOOOOO NICEST!
[17:50] <mojtaba> I think it is intel I3
[17:50] <meddie> what is your processor model mojtaba
[17:50] <meddie> ohh
[17:51] <ddosantos> thank you all, I'll be back after rebooting
[17:51] <meddie> i have that kind of problem before with old spec laptop
[17:51] <mojtaba> meddie: Is there any command which shows the model of the processor
[17:51] <MichaelT1> Is there a way to CTRL-C from a bash script and run a command before exiting the script?

[17:51] <OerHeks> sorry MichaelT1 , was for mojtaba > lscpu
[17:52] <kiki67100> I would like to extract all emails
[17:52] <kiki67100> I use it
[17:52] <kiki67100> J'utilise ceci find . -print | cat | grep --mmap @ >> email_a_nettoyer.txt
[17:52] <meddie> mojtaba perhaps you should install lubuntu or any lightweight DE
[17:52] <mojtaba> recon_lap: It is Intel Core I3
[17:52] <mojtaba> 2.13 GHz
[17:53] <kiki67100> I use it find . -print | cat | grep --mmap @ >> email_a_nettoyer.txt
[17:53] <kiki67100> it the faster way ?
[17:53] <mojtaba> meddie: It was working with no problem on windows 7.
[17:53] <meddie> hmmmm
[17:53] <mojtaba> but I want to be free. :)
[17:53] <meddie> lol
[17:53] <MichaelT1> Is there a way to CTRL-C from a bash script and run a command before exiting the script?
[17:53] <krux> anybody ?.. ad-hoc set up without a password works fine 2 clients conneck OK.. if i set up with password they just fail at password prompt on clients.. ??..
[17:53] <recon_lap> mojtaba: can you describe how you computer crashes? is there any pattern, does it boot ok, how long before it crashes, does it crash faster after the first time?
[17:54] <jrib> MichaelT1: what do you actually want to accomplish?  Be specific
[17:55] <MonkeyDust> MichaelT1  better ask in #bash, i guess
[17:55] <recon_lap> mojtaba: and when it crashes, do you get a black screen of does the screen freeze
[17:55] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Actually I have just installed ubuntu 1 day ago and when I close the lid, or do not use it for long time, it just freezes. I can move mouse around, but nothing else
[17:55] <skp1> can someone help me? my ubuntu 12.10 installation froze and i used alt ctrl prt scrn b to reboot and now when i login my mouse pointer wont move
[17:55] <mojtaba> recon_lap: No, I do not get a black screen. Just nothing works.
[17:55] <nuf0xx> skpl, that happened to me this morning. mouse only works with a usb
[17:56] <MichaelT1> jrib: I have a script that end in an endless loop.  I want "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop" called upon exit.
[17:56] <recon_lap> mojtaba: ok, sound like your screen is not restarting after sleep
[17:56] <MichaelT1> I'll try #bash too
[17:56] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Could the problem be with the graphic card?
[17:56] <jrib> MichaelT1: you can trap sigint
[17:56] <ddosantos> llutz: thanks for your help
[17:56] <recon_lap> mojtaba: hang on, you can see the mouse on a blank screen ?
[17:57] <ddosantos> llutz: now it can be shared
[17:57] <ddosantos> llutz: at least when the device is on when booting
[17:57] <ddosantos> I have to try with the device off
[17:57] <MichaelT1> jrib: I will look into that, thanks.
[17:57] <jrib> MichaelT1: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/SignalTrap
[17:57] <llutz> ddosantos: how do you mount the device manually?
[17:58] <mojtaba> recon_lap: There is no black screen. I can see my background, and move mouse around. But nothing else does work. even when I use Alt+Tab it does not work.
[17:58] <bipul> i have vboxnet0 :192.168.56.1 which is mine host only adaptor, and i want to connect that to my etho . is it possible. ?
[17:58] <ddosantos> sudo mount, typically
[17:59] <llutz> ddosantos: "sudo mount /media/drive"  should do, even if the drive wasn't there at boottime
[17:59] <MichaelT1> Here is the answer: http://hacktux.com/bash/control/c
[17:59] <recon_lap> mojtaba: that sounds more like a window manager bug
[17:59] <ddosantos> but the line in fstab is set to auto, so I think the system tries to mount it at boot
[17:59] <ddosantos> llutz: yes, thanks again, I will try it
[18:00] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Then, what should I do? I have run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade, and my machine is updated
[18:03] <recon_lap> mojtaba: next time it gets stuck try use ctrl-alt-f6 to open a tty console
[18:04] <mojtaba> recon_lap: last time it freezed, I tried to use ctrl-alt-del, but I did not work and I turn it down by holding the power key. :(
[18:04] <usr13> mojtaba: Ctrl-Alt-Del only works in tty1-6
[18:04] <millennia> mojtaba | are you using unity?
[18:05] <mojtaba> millennia: yes
[18:05] <skp1> can someone help me? my mouse wont move.
[18:05] <recon_lap> mojtaba: you issue sound a lot like this one http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/33980/mouse-clicks-stop-working-after-random-time-using-awesome-wm-gnome
[18:05] <mojtaba> usr13: I have used Ctrl-Alt-Del in tty-7 before, and it asked to logout.
[18:05] <usr13> mojtaba: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should stop or restart the X-server (when you're in the GUI, tty7).
[18:06] <quinn_> So my computer keeps telling me I have "incomplete language support"
[18:06] <usr13> mojtaba: Correct, but if it's frozen do you expect it to do anything?
[18:06] <mojtaba> usr13: I will try to use it the next time it crushes
[18:06] <mojtaba> usr13: actually not.
[18:06] <banlieue> (19:46:17) banlieue: hi everyone, anybody play counter strike beta with intel vga? i cant disable vsync..
[18:07] <naresh_> hello any one free
[18:07] <mojtaba> recon_lap: when It get stuck in GUI, then what should I do in tty6, if I could log in there?
[18:07] <quinn_> Will we ever get decent AMD APU support in Ubuntu?
[18:07] <usr13> mojtaba: If the system is totally locked up you'll get no response from keyboard or mouse at all.  In that case you may or may not be able to login via ssh from another PC on your LAN, in which case you can give command to shutdown or reboot.
[18:07] <millennia> mojtaba | would you say this is a problem of the mouse clicks no longer being detected?
[18:07] <kaneda^> is there an easy way to compile DLLs on ubuntu or *nix in general?
[18:07] <naresh_> when i install graphic card
[18:08] <usr13> mojtaba: If the system is totally locked up, it is more than likely bad RAM. In which chase I recommend memtest
[18:08] <naresh_> my screen defers in its size
[18:08] <recon_lap> mojtaba: first step to working out whats wrong, but I'm using a different window manager to gnome/unity, so cant really help much more. having a look to see if i can find a bug report
[18:08] <mojtaba> millennia: mouse just move around, it does not click
[18:08] <mojtaba> usr13: I have run it and it was green
[18:09] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Thanks a million
[18:09] <millennia> mojtaba | a moving mouse means it is not a system lockup from bad ram
[18:09] <usr13> mojtaba: How much RAM do you have?
[18:09] <mojtaba> usr13: 4G
[18:09] <mojtaba> millennia: I think so
[18:10] <millennia> mojtaba | can you try a different mouse?
[18:10] <usr13> mojtaba: Is your install 32bit or 64bit?
[18:10] <mojtaba> millennia: what do you mean?
[18:10] <mojtaba> usr13: 64
[18:10] <millennia> mojtaba | do you have the ability to plugin a different mouse to use?
[18:10] <usr13> mojtaba: When the mouse won't click on anything, is the keyboard still working ok?
[18:11] <mojtaba> millennia: The mouse is running well under other OSs and machines.
[18:11] <mojtaba> usr13: no
[18:12] <millennia> mojtaba | that may well be, but plugging in a different mouse would help you narrow down the problem
[18:12] <mojtaba> The keyboard is not working also, I guess. because I tried to use alt-tab, alt-ctrl-del, and no one worked.
[18:13] <millennia> mojtaba | is your keyboard usb?
[18:13] <usr13> mojtaba: Are your mouse and keyboard ps2 or usb?
[18:13] <recon_lap> mojtaba: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1077805
[18:14] <usr13> mojtaba:   Does that look like your issue?    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
[18:15] <mojtaba> millennia: I will check that the next time. but if we suppose the problem is not with the mouse, what would be the next step?
[18:15] <mojtaba> millennia: no, it is on the laptop
[18:15] <mojtaba> usr13: no, both are for the laptop
[18:16] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Thanks, I will check it now
[18:16] <millennia> mojtaba | on some newer laptops, the keyboards are usb devices
[18:16] <Lae_> Hi, I'm looking for a hand with getting a stable network connection between two ubuntu boxes, and some windows machines (vista and 7).  The problem I am having is network stability, I seem to be having trouble communicating between the linux system and the vista system if I have file shared recently between the windows 7 system and the vista system.  A restart of the vista system and then the linux system after fixes this problem.
[18:16] <mojtaba> usr13: I must check that. :-P
[18:16] <skp1> can someone help me? i rebooted my frozen ubuntu installation using alt ctrl prt scrn b and now my mouse wont respond
[18:17] <skp1> my internet connection is broken, too
[18:17] <millennia> mojtaba | maybe you have a usb drive problem?
[18:17] <millennia> mojtaba | maybe you have a usb driver problem?
[18:18] <mojtaba> millennia: mine is attached to the laptop.
[18:19] <macswell> I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 installed that kernel panics whenever the ac-power(mains) is unplugged. It panics 1-2 seconds after being unplugged. Can anyone help?
[18:19] <millennia> mojtaba | that doesn't mean it's not usb
[18:19] <mojtaba> millennia: How can I check that?
[18:19] <usr13> skp1: If the install did not complete, you're probably going to need to start over.
[18:20] <millennia> mojtaba | see if your keyboard or mouse show up in "lsusb"
[18:20] <millennia> mojtaba | if you have no use at all in ubuntu, see if windows says it's a usb kb+mouse
[18:20] <usr13> mojtaba: The USB plugs are rectangular (wide, flat), PS2 is round.
[18:21] <mojtaba> millennia: How can I check it?
[18:21] <millennia> mojtaba | in windows you can check from device manager
[18:21] <skp1_> usr13: it's not a new install, i've been using this for a few days now. i set 'random effects for all events' in compiz and it froze so i pressed alt ctrl prt scrn b to reboot now when it logs in i cant use the mouse
[18:22] <skp1_> usr13: i know the mouse works cuz i've used it with a live cd and a usb drive with 12.10 on it
[18:22] <escott> i have a friend who needs to use the NVIDIA drivers but not the apt packaged ones. For some reason Xorg is trying to use the 310.32 but the kernel is loading the old modules
[18:22] <usr13> skp1_: What is "alt ctrl prt scrn b"?
[18:22] <recon_lap> mojtaba: this seem like the same bug, but a older report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/41301
[18:22] <millennia> mojtaba | windows might be the only way to check if your ubuntu is not responding
[18:23] <skp1_> usr13: i read on the net that it is a safe way to reboot your computer if the os hangs
[18:23] <escott> !reisub | usr13 skp1_
[18:23] <usr13> skp1_: Ok.  I'll take your word for it.
[18:24] <mojtaba> millennia: let me see
[18:24] <usr13> escott: Tnx
[18:24] <skp1_> escott: oh, ok
[18:24] <usr13> skp1_: What kind of mouse is it?
[18:24] <usr13> skp1_: PS2 or USB ?
[18:24] <skp1_> usb
[18:25] <usr13> skp1_: Try un-plugging and plugging in again.
[18:25] <skp1_> usr13: i did
[18:25] <mojtaba> millennia: It is not in the list
[18:25] <usr13> skp1_: Are you sure the mouse is ok?  (Not broken?)
[18:25] <skp1_> usr13: also unity loads very slowly and my internet connection wont work
[18:26] <skp1_> usr13: yes, i was just using it
[18:26] <millennia> mojtaba | that's strange, windows device manager always lists my keyboard and mouse as devices
[18:26] <mojtaba> usr13: I knew that, but the question is about the integrated ones.
[18:26] <skp1_> usr13: i booted a usb drive and it worked
[18:26] <usr13> mojtaba: Oh, ok.
[18:26] <mojtaba> millennia: how can I do that?
[18:26] <usr13> mojtaba: Did you look at that bug report?
[18:27] <mojtaba> millennia: let me see
[18:27] <skp1_> usr13: i just booted into an older kernel and the mouse and internet work fine. what should i do?
[18:28] <usr13> skp1_: Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file?
[18:28] <skp1_> usr13: no
[18:28] <usr13> skp1_: How new is the newest kernel?  (How long ago did it get installed?
[18:28] <mojtaba> usr13: There were many information, I could not understand it
[18:29] <skp1_> usr13: this install is only a few days old, but the trouble seemed to start when i was messing with the animations in compiz.
[18:29] <mojtaba> millennia: How can I find device manager?
[18:29] <macswell> I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 x64 installed that kernel panics whenever the ac-power(mains) is unplugged. It panics 1-2 seconds after being unplugged. Can anyone help?
[18:30] <usr13> skp1_: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image*list  #And tell us that last date.
[18:30] <usr13> and version
[18:30] <recon_lap> mojtaba: to summarize, seems like you affected by a unity bug, the bug is reported but no solution has been found yet. options from here are extreme.
[18:31] <Cortez> hey guys, i need some help with ufw. You see when i do a ufw status i get 5 ports allowed, but when i do a nmap -sS 127.0.0.1 i only get 2 open ports?
[18:31] <millennia> mojtaba | depending on your version of windows, it should be a part of your system settings applet
[18:31] <skp1_> usr13: jan 29
[18:31] <escott> zykotick9, can't remember if you have much experience with nvidia
[18:32] <usr13> skp1_: I'd say, just use the previous kernel for now.
[18:32] <mojtaba> millennia: I can not find it in the system setttings
[18:32] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Then what should I do?
[18:32] <JuJuBee> I want to migrate users from one server to another.  I want to make sure that the UID's are the same and that their respecitve GID's are the same for the group that matches their username.  Can I create the groups first then users? or is there a better way?
[18:32] <skp1_> usr13: is there no command i can use to reset compiz?
[18:33] <millennia> mojtaba | I'm sorry then, I'm pretty lost in windows, I stopped using windows around vista
[18:33] <usr13> skp1_: It quit working after reboot and so there is something wrong with the compiz settings on this new kernel, so, I'd just use the previous one for not.
[18:33] <mojtaba> millennia: I am not using windows.
[18:33] <usr13> skp1_: You could go back into compiz settings and change it back to what it was before.
[18:33] <mojtaba> millennia: I just installed ubuntu yesterday on windows 7
[18:34] <skp1_> usr13: i already did
[18:34] <usr13> skp1_: Then just use the previous kernel for now.
[18:34] <usr13> at least until the next kernel update
[18:34] <millennia> mojtaba | Oh I thought you were. But if you are not using windows, I can't think of any way to check whether your kb and mouse are usb, given that your ubuntu is locked up and unresponsive
[18:36] <recon_lap> millennia: his ubuntu is not locked up, he is losing mouse click events.
[18:36] <millennia> recom_lap | oh. I thought he said his keyboard was locked up too (?)
[18:37] <zykotick9> escott: while i have used nvidia drivers extensivly, i have never used non-repo versions - since... i can't remember when...
[18:37] <millennia> recon_lap | oh. I thought he said his keyboard was locked up too (?)
[18:37] <mojtaba> millennia: I just tried alt-tab and alt-ctrl-del and did not work, then I just restart it by holding power button
[18:37] <Axljackass> #batangas
[18:38] <LiquidDemocracy> Anybody knows how to kill truecrypt via shell?
[18:38] <macswell_> My Ubuntu 12.04 x64 laptop kernel panics 1-2 seconds after unplugging ac-power(mains). Any idea how to fix this?
[18:38] <LiquidDemocracy> When I start truecrypt it says that it was already running. However, I can not find a process.
[18:40] <recon_lap> mojtaba how long have you been using ubuntu?
[18:40] <mojtaba> recon_lap: I have just installed ubuntu on my sony laptop yesterday
[18:40] <mojtaba> I am pretty new to linux
[18:41] <recon_lap> mojtaba: had are you set on ubuntu/unity or would you consider xubuntu ?
[18:41] <Axljackass> anyone from singapore
[18:41] <quillo123> do you know the asterisk IRC channel ?
[18:41] <mojtaba> recon_lap: I have no idea about that
[18:41] <escott> zykotick9, ok. a friend of mine who was doing some CUDA work wanted to update the CUDA stack and tried to go non-repo... X was loading the newest driver but the kernel kept probing the old module and i couldn't figure out from where
[18:41] <Axljackass> *singapore
[18:41] <escott> zykotick9, i think he is just going to reinstall (this is what happens when people do things without asking first :))
[18:42] <zykotick9> escott: in cases like that, i'd suggest removing all the old nvidia stuff, and simply reinstall the new... but that is just a very "gerneral" type suggestion.  sorry, don't have any specific suggestions...
[18:43] <kevinmthomas> hi everyone.  I have ubuntu server installed and a wireless printer set up on a local 192 port.  I installed cups how do I set it up to print correctly?
[18:43] <escott> zykotick9, no problem... thats pretty all i can think to do myself
[18:45] <recon_lap> mojtaba: as it stands I think you stuck with the bug, so i'd suggest xubuntu, it uses a different window manager(xfce) and a good chance that it will not have the same bug. it's got a old fashioned GUI though.
[18:45] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Can I add xfce to my machine from the unity?
[18:45] <kevinmthomas> anyone?
[18:46] <recon_lap> mojtaba: you only installed a day, I'd recommend a clean install, should only take about 45 min
[18:46] <zykotick9> kevinmthomas: try cup's web interface, on port 631
[18:47] <kevinmthomas> how might i set up cups web interface?
[18:47] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Actually It is my brother's laptop and he synced all of his files.
[18:47] <zykotick9> kevinmthomas: if cups is installed, should be running.
[18:47] <kevinmthomas> yes it is runnning
[18:47] <kevinmthomas> ok so do i type
[18:48] <kevinmthomas> lp -d 192.x.x.x:163 filename
[18:48] <zykotick9> kevinmthomas: 631
[18:48] <vevais> Hi
[18:48] <zykotick9> kevinmthomas: NO, use a web browser to go to that address/port
[18:48] <s4ltfuzz> hi im here to find out how to install lilo on lubuntoo
[18:48] <kevinmthomas> oh i have only ubuntu server set up just console
[18:49] <zykotick9> kevinmthomas: a) try from another computer on your network b) use a text browser, i'd suggest elinks
[18:49] <kevinmthomas> ok
[18:49] <kevinmthomas> got it now on chrome
[18:49] <arussel``> I have a script in /etc/init.d and all the link in /etc/rc* created by update-rc.d, but last reboot, my service wasn't started. In which log file can i have a look ?
[18:49] <away> mojtaba, http://askubuntu.com/questions/223536/how-can-i-install-xfce-along-side-unity
[18:50] <kevinmthomas> ok i have the webpage loaded on anotehr comptuer
[18:50] <kevinmthomas> and a terminal fired up in ubunto
[18:50] <recon_lap> mojtaba: it's up to you, but thats what i'd do :)
[18:50] <mojtaba> away: Thanks
[18:51] <mojtaba> recon_lap: Will it freezes, if I log in to the xfce instead of unity?
[18:51] <usr13> mojtaba: Try it and see.
[18:51] <recon_lap> mojtaba: sorry, cant guarantee that.
[18:51] <kevinmthomas> i see a network path addrss
[18:52] <recon_lap> mojtaba: maybe you should create a live usb and try it out. see what you think
[18:52] <kevinmthomas> so how do i print in ubuntu?
[18:53] <Alaskanhawg> is it ok to run unbuntu on a VM
[18:53] <bekks> Alaskanhawg: Sure.
[18:53] <Alaskanhawg> I want to learn what all the hype is behind linux anywhere you recommend i start
[18:53] <kevinmthomas> cups seems to be running and I have an IPP network path 192.168.1.50:631 however how do I actually print in ubuntu?
[18:54] <arussel``> where are the log created when starting a service in /etc/init.d ?
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> Alaskanhawg  better start with a live cd or usb, it's faster than an virtual machine
[18:54] <kevinmthomas> anyone
[18:54] <kevinmthomas> ?
[18:55] <Alaskanhawg> ok i kinda dont have that resource available where im at
[18:55] <Alaskanhawg> only thing i have is internet
[18:55] <Alaskanhawg> currently deployed
[18:56] <kevinmthomas> any ideas?  I have an IPP network path however when i try to lp -d filename
[18:56] <rekha> anybody know how to use the scanning function of a brother dcp-8040 on linux? i wanna scan something to pdf
[18:56] <kevinmthomas> printer or clas does nto exist
[18:57] <kevinmthomas> lp -d?
[18:57] <evanderv> hello
[18:58] <kevinmthomas> i have teh listen set up in the conf file as well
[18:58] <fas> When logging in by ssh I don't get my omzsh shell until I do 'su user' after I already logged in as that user. Why is this?
[18:58] <tab1293> I'm trying to share files from my ubuntu server to windows using samba. I want to setup this share using a vpn. I have already set up a tun device on my server but I am not sure how to use this to set up the actual vpn. I want to be able to connect to this vpn from windows built in vpn client. how can i do this?
[18:58] <kevinmthomas> still not printing
[18:58] <kevinmthomas> printer or class does not exist
[18:58] <millennia> rekha | you would first scan it from xsane, I think
[18:59] <rekha> millennia yep, just looked at that and simple-scan (running xubuntu here) doesn't detect it as a scanner. checking out the driver from brothersoft
[19:05] <prodnix> Anyone know of a good channel to ask for help on linux storage?

[19:19] <johny-b-goode> hello folks. I plug in a netgear usb wifi stick into an ubuntu machine. what needs to happen for it to recognize it? Do I need to search which packages needs to be installed?
[19:19] <Narel> Hi
[19:19] <banlieue> usr13: i said i have an intel vga
[19:20] <banlieue> its not my request i guess
[19:20] <Narel> I've a problem with gnash vaapi build
[19:20] <johny-b-goode> this is a Live USB image

[19:21] <zykotick9> johny-b-goode: try to find the actual chipset name (netgear means nothing).  lsusb show it?
[19:21] <Narel> no I don't want, beacause there is no vaapi support in Ubuntu gnash package
[19:22] <Narel> and I want hardware accel
[19:22] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: lsusb shows NetGear, Inc. MA111(v1) 802.11b Wireless [Intersil Prism 3.0]
[19:24] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: iwconfig shows wlan0 and wlan1 (this is netgear). however networkmanager say wireless disabled
[19:24] <zykotick9> johny-b-goode: verify that firmware is being loaded for that device, try "dmesg | grep -i firmware" and see if you see any "missing" messages
[19:25] <zykotick9> johny-b-goode: that's a good sign i think.
[19:26] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: that shows - prism2_usb: Firmware not available, but not essential.
[19:26] <zykotick9> johny-b-goode: that "might" be a good sign?
[19:26] <macswell> My laptop running ubuntu 12.04 x64 kernel panics 1-2 seconds after unplugging ac-power(mains). How can I fix this?
[19:26] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: lol, the itnernal wifi is hosed I think. External usb stick is also nto working. lol kinda hard to get stuff on there.
[19:27] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: right-click on network-manager shows "Enable Wireless" line disabled.
[19:28] <zykotick9> johny-b-goode: sorry, i've no personal experience with Prism wireless.  and i'm no longer current with Network-Manager procedures.  so i don't think i can help further.  best of luck.
[19:28] <johny-b-goode> zykotick9: thanks for looking. :)
[19:29] <johny-b-goode> anybody else have any ideas on how to get a wifi adapter going? network-manager shows "Enable Wireless" is disabled. iwconifg shows a wlan1.

[19:41] <nitish> I will let you what problem I am facing tomorrow
[19:41] <nitish> good night..:)
[19:42] <ege_> Who have ubuntu for androids
[19:42] <ege_> ?
[19:42] <Pici> !phone
[19:42] <ege_> omg
[19:42] <ege_> obottu
[19:42] <NetFlamBot> mean that
[19:43] <ege_> ubottu
[19:43] <krywk> Anyone?
[19:43] <krywk> :T
[19:44] <ege_> :-)
[19:44] <ege_> Hello!
[19:44] <ege_> What a problem?
[19:44] <zykotick9> krywk: a) what did you use to calibrate it?  b) is there constant input coming from the joystick? (this would be a problem) to test, in a terminal "cat /dev/input/js0" is there characters output rolling across the screen constantly?  there should only be character output when you press button or move stick.  close the terminal to quit, it will most likely corrupt that terminal.
[19:44] <ege_> Say somethink
[19:45] <intrinsic> sorry, forgot to say hello
[19:45] <intrinsic> hi
[19:46] <krywk> zykotick9, a) jscalibrator b) No constant output, just adding characters when pressing buttons or moving axes.
[19:46] <ege_> hello
[19:47] <krywk> Oh.
[19:47] <krywk> I didn't press on 'Calibrate' on jscalibrator.
[19:47] <krywk> :facepalm:
[19:47] <shomon> hi, since a recent update, ubuntu has been going very slowly
[19:47] <shomon> do you know how I can diagnose this?
[19:48] <DuncanNZ> just an apt-get upgrade?
[19:48] <shomon> just the update manager
[19:48] <DuncanNZ> k
[19:49] <shomon> i think it's the latest version but not sure how to find out
[19:49] <DuncanNZ> not sure why that would happen
[19:49] <DuncanNZ> you could type in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:49] <DuncanNZ> to check everything happened properly
[19:50] <krywk> zykotick9, well, no, it's still the same.
[19:50] <shomon> okay thanks DuncanNZ
[19:50] <zykotick9> krywk: if that cat test isn't showing output, i can't explain what you are experiencing in game.  sorry, i don't have any other suggestions - best of luck.
[19:51] <krywk> zykotick9, I mean, it could also be WINE's problem. Sorry if using WINE was an important detail
[19:51] <krywk> :T
[19:51] <ege_> NetFlamBot?
[19:51] <NetFlamBot> ege_: would was
[19:51] <shomon> DuncanNZ: it's a tiny laptop though
[19:51] <arussel> I see from the log that the my script in /etc/init.d was run. What is the difference between doing 'sudo /etc/init.d/foo' and when the script run at boot time ?
[19:51] <DuncanNZ> ok
[19:51] <shomon> maybe ubuntu's recent changes make it too slow on this computer.. but from one day to the next..
[19:51] <NetFlamBot> maybe ubuntu's recent changes make it too slow on this computer.. but from one day to the next..
[19:51] <Pici> NetFlamBot: what?
[19:51] <NetFlamBot> Pici: cat problem.
[19:52] <DuncanNZ> yea seems odd
[19:52] <DuncanNZ> so did you run the command?
[19:52] <zykotick9> krywk: i wouldn't think so, but not sure.  i'm not much of a wine person anymore (beverage or software ;)
[19:52] <IOmegaZ> hi
[19:52] <krywk> Haha. Well, if it's of any help, I'm trying to play 'DmC: Devil May Cry' with joystick.
[19:52] <krywk> I'll go ask in WINE.
[19:52] <IOmegaZ> when i try to install from ubuntu installer i get
[19:52] <shomon> DuncanNZ: yes
[19:52] <intrinsic> hi ege_  , i have laptop acer emachines e-644g  with ubuntu 12.10 and it dosn't work on  full hd, had windows installed before and it worked
[19:53] <IOmegaZ> an error occured list index out of range
[19:53] <DuncanNZ> umm other than a reboot i cant think of anything else sorry
[19:53] <shomon> ok apparently the slow thing is in the internet
[19:53] <ege_> mhm
[19:53] <ege_> full hd
[19:53] <shomon> it's when you go on youtube
[19:53] <shomon> or some websites, not others
[19:53] <IOmegaZ> when i try to install from ubuntu installer i get
[19:53] <sisgovuk_> platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd
[19:53] <IOmegaZ> an error occured list index out of range
[19:53] <DuncanNZ> youtube uses flash which isnt well supported on linux
[19:54] <banlieue> anybody play counter strike beta with intel vga? i cant disable vsync..
[19:54] <ege_> intrinsic: Maybe its drivers only problem
[19:54] <DuncanNZ> use youtube.com/html5 to use HTML5 video instead of flash
[19:54] <sisgovuk_> is platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd the standard keyboard interface for 64bit ubuntu???
[19:54] <shomon> aah flash
[19:54] <ege_> NetFlamBot: Who are you?
[19:54] <DuncanNZ> flash is bad
[19:54] <IOmegaZ> when i try to install from ubuntu installer i get
[19:54] <IOmegaZ> an error occured list index out of range
[19:55] <ege_> NetFlamBot?
[19:55] <Pici> ege_: Is that your bot?
[19:55] <krywk> ege_, he/she/it was banned.
[19:55] <ege_> netflambot?
[19:55] <Pici> ege_: Do not join your bot to this channel.
[19:55] <sisgovuk_> is platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd the standard keyboard interface for 64bit ubuntu???
[19:56] <ege_> mhm ok but its not my!
[19:56] <ege_> Maybe my friend -> Marek
[19:56] <shomon> no, I tried html5.. it's just as slow
[19:56] <Pici> ege_: its on your connection. Thats a pretty strange coincidence.
[19:56] <DuncanNZ> shomon: even with youtube in HTML5 not flash I still get problems with overheating etc on my slow laptop
[19:56] <shomon> yes but until yesterday this laptop was fine
[19:56] <DuncanNZ> but if you never used to and now u do its different
[19:56] <Pici> ege_: anyway, its not here anymore. If you want to play with it, do it is your own channel.
[19:56] <DuncanNZ> yea
[19:57] <ege_> ok ok
[19:57] <wjtaylor_> Does 12.04 support verizon aircards?
[19:57] <DuncanNZ> @shomon sorry but i cant think of anything else
[19:57] <ege_> I try with my friend to get irc log to do bot on neurlar netwotk
[19:57] <ege_> bye!
[19:57] <shomon> that's okay
[19:58] <intrinsic> it's running on 1366x768 when it should be working on 1920x1020
[19:58] <shomon> I'll reboot and come in again maybe with some output of top or dstat
[19:58] <DuncanNZ> yep
[19:58] <DuncanNZ> and : sudo top
[19:58] <DuncanNZ> oh you said that :)
[19:59] <IOmegaZ> duncan some help
[19:59] <DuncanNZ> @IOmegaZ ok..
[20:03] <histo> wjtaylor_: yes
[20:03] <histo> wjtaylor_: Most of them i've seen just work out of the box. You configure them jsut like any other network in the upper right corner using network manager
[20:04] <wjtaylor_> sweet!
[20:05] <DuncanNZ> lost connection...
[20:06] <ampau> hi I have a very slow flash plugin since the most recent update
[20:06] <ampau> how do I fix this?
[20:06] <DuncanNZ> hmm your the second person with that exact same problem

[20:08] <ChillOut_Dreams> i need help with my wifi card in ubuntu 12.04
[20:08] <judahitewarrior7>  Hi, I am having problems accessing Hebrew fonts in LibreOffice Writer. Whenever I try to select a certain Hebrew font, it will not switch from the default Hebrew font "Lohit Hindi". Can anyone help?
[20:09] <roasted> Question - I just installed two 3TB HDDs. They have GPT tables as per GParted from Lubuntu LiveUSB 12.04. In GParted, the first sector is listed as 2048. However, if I run fdisk -l against them even though fdisk isn't supported for larger disks, it says the first sector is 1. Why is fdisk reporting 1 while gparted is reporting 2048?
[20:10] <przemek> hello do you know guys how to format usb drive in ubuntu?
[20:10] <zykotick9> roasted: don't use fdisk.  end of story.
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: :D
[20:10] <zykotick9> roasted: parted -l does same as fdisk -l
[20:10] <roasted> zykotick9: is there an equivalent to "fdisk -l" for gdisk or parted?
[20:11] <roasted> bingo
[20:11] <roasted> nailed it. appreciate it zykotick9
[20:11] <DuncanNZ> przemek gparted
[20:11] <przemek> :D
[20:11] <roasted> zykotick9: parted -l reports my "start" as 1049kB...
[20:12] <DuncanNZ> @premezek: you can right click a partition in gparted and choose "format to"
[20:12] <threex5> hi, i disabled compositing manager in compizconfig settings, and it seems to have killed unity entirely. I can't even logout. what do i do?
[20:12] <mibofra> hi
[20:12] <zykotick9> roasted: same for me on 3TB drive...
[20:12] <roasted> zykotick9: ah okay
[20:13] <mibofra> Can I ask for a problem of supybot plugin PackageInfo ?
[20:13] <roasted> zykotick9: I just wanted to make sure things were aligned properly. I kept hearing 2048 was the first sector that should be written to, which is what gparted reports but this 1049kB for parted confuswed me.
[20:13] <vevais> hello
[20:13] <ThinkT510> mibofra: we support ubuntu here
[20:14] <mibofra> ThinkT510, I joined here 'cose PackageInfo usually it's only used by ubots .
[20:14] <Pici> mibofra: Try #ubuntu-bots or #ubuntu-bot-team
[20:14] <zykotick9> roasted: i've only done a small amount of reading on the subject, so i'm in no position to say what is correct.  sorry.  i'm happy with my drives performance...
[20:14] <mibofra> Pici: thanks :) .
[20:15] <histo> roasted: becuase fdisk doesn't do larger disks
[20:15] <roasted> zykotick9: good enough :D
[20:18] <threex5> I'm totally stuck. even logging into gnome classic gives me a blank desktop. i messed something up here and can't get anywhere except via command line.

[20:19] <kaserelsanam> good night
[20:19] <kaserelsanam> how  to  go to paltlak   by ubuntu
[20:19] <threex5> ok my guest session is still intact
[20:19] <blsh0p> ok, so im trying to dual boot ubuntu on my intel mac, and i was able to get the ubuntu 12.04 ISO file, convert it to img, and then "burn" it to a flashdrive. so i reboot mac and click the usb stick i used, and it opens up to the ubuntu start screen. my next option is, "install ubuntu", and when i click it, the screen goes all black to a terminal, with a couple error messages. what am i doing wrong?
[20:20] <histo> roasted: if you use parted it will understand larger disks
[20:22] <scary_one> hey guys... Ubuntu noob here I have a Intel GMA 3150 video card, and I've tried to install XF86-Video-Intel and now my ubuntu boots into low-graphics mode
[20:22] <kaserelsanam>  how  to  go to paltlak   by ubuntu
[20:24] <Guest84473> Greetings. My Ubuntu 12.10 is crashed and stop in the initial purple screen. How can I fix it?
[20:24] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | Guest84473
[20:26] <kaserelsanam>  how  to  go to paltlak   by ubuntu
[20:26] <Anubie> Anyone up to answer a few quick questions about ubuntu?
[20:26] <Guest84473> Thanks. So this is a kernel problem?
[20:27] <arussel> what is the difference between running a script with 'sudo /etc/inid.d/foo' and when the server starts ? (assuming all the rc* links have been done properly)
[20:27] <scary_one> how to fix ubuntu if it boots into low graphics mode
[20:27] <ThinkT510> Anubie: you are in a support channel so yes people will answer questions
[20:28] <ampau> in "top" I have very high numbers under "id%"
[20:28] <Guest84473> thinkT510: Is this a kernel problem?
[20:28] <ampau> what does that do?
[20:28] <ThinkT510> Guest84473: more of a driver problem
[20:28] <ThinkT510> Guest84473: some drivers don't play nice with kernel mode setting
[20:28] <millennia> scary_one | if you look in /var/log/xorg.0.log ,it should have error messages which might tell you what the exact problem is
[20:29] <Anubie> Alright, I heard that there's a program called 'wine' that lets me run windows executables. I'm in the middle of installing ubuntu, so I'd like to know if the executables can be set up to just work how they normally would. (installer, click to run without any excess effort)
[20:30] <lanetzky> \quit
[20:30] <lanetzky> \part
[20:30] <ThinkT510> Anubie: yes
[20:30] <ThinkT510> !appdb | Anubie
[20:30] <Guest84473> ThinkT510: Right. How can I access nomodeset? Waht is the command and what I have to do?
[20:30] <ThinkT510> !nomodeset | Guest84473
[20:30] <millennia> lanetzky | use a forward slash
[20:31] <Anubie> Ah, thank you. And lastly, are there any good translation tools available for linux? e.g, bitext programs or Translation Memorys?
[20:32] <jimmy> ciao
[20:32] <jimmy> !list
[20:36] <ampau> hi where is there an explanation of what some of the numbers in top do?
[20:36] <Anubie> Oh, nvm. I found a relatively decent website listing some linux apps. Two of the ones I use all the time here on windows are listed ^_^ Apparently, linux is so open-source that it even has free handwriting (kanji) recognition apps. Thanks for putting up with me

[20:38] <ampau> video doesn't play well in chrome but it does in firefox..
[20:39] <ampau> should I get rid of chrome and use chromium or would it have the same problem?
[20:39] <usr13> Use firefox
[20:40] <usr13> ampau: I dono, I've been messing with chrome and chromium off and on for couple years and I just don't see the point.  Firefox works fine and chrome and chromium seem ok but problematic at times, so...
[20:41] <ampau> why would chrome suddenly get slower
[20:41] <usr13> as of late, I don't use chrome or chromium any more.
[20:41] <ampau> is it now 32 bit in ubuntu packages?
[20:42] <ampau> chrome itself is tracked by google, every site you visit
[20:42] <ampau> but not chromium
[20:43] <ampau> anyway I'm trying to fix chrome, not convince someone to go to firefox
[20:43] <usr13> probably someone else here could help you but as I said, I just don't use it anymore.
[20:44] <millennia> midori is a nice little browser
[20:44] <usr13> I like stuff that works
[20:45] <akar1m> who has BNC for irc ?
[20:45] <ampau> millennia: so is dillo and lynx
[20:46] <AndroidBeing> I have a AMD Radeon HD 6800, I have found that X is a bit unstable and have crashed a number of times. Am running the additional closed source drivers. Does anybody know if there is anything I can do to make this run better?
[20:46] <ThinkT510> ampau: midori uses webkit, you can hardly compare it with dillo
[20:46] <millennia> midori is at least graphical, lynx is only text-based
[20:46] <ampau> also w3m is great
[20:46] <ampau> depends what you are aiming for
[20:47] <ampau> in this case, it's a school laptop, only chrome used there
[20:47] <ampau> video playing is very slow
[20:48] <ampau> also javascript, or dynamic sites. only since 2 days ago, before it worked fine
[20:49] <zzach> Is there a maximum number of users in passwd/shadow when logging in via gdm / gnome-shell? It does show a login window for high number of users in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (3000 - 4000 users). For < 3000 users, login window and login to Gnome shell are OK. For higher number of users, messages like:   Jan 29 21:21:18 HV25 kernel: [ 5140.148278] gnome-shell[1794]: segfault at bf014f0c ip

[20:56] <vbgunz> I just installed ubuntu one in Kubuntu and am stuck at "getting information, please wait"
[20:56] <vbgunz> how do I get pass that ?
[20:56] <agrestringere> My system seems utterly broken
[20:58] <vbgunz> hmm, all of a sudden it's working. after about 10 minutes just hung with that message, it appears to be working now :|
[21:00] <subcool> could someone assist me for a quick mine? i am plugging in my SD card from my phone, but its not letting me move anything around. The SD card is not on write protect, and the appear to have full permissions to the card, but- it wont let me do anything to it.
[21:01] <DuncanNZ> @subcool: with nautilus?
[21:02] <subcool> DuncanNZ, dolphin
[21:02] <DuncanNZ> do you get an error message?
[21:02] <DuncanNZ> or just nothing happens?
[21:03] <MonkeyDust> DuncanNZ  it's easier to read if you omit de @ and use su [tab]
[21:03] <subcool> DuncanNZ, dolphin says its unable to copy
[21:04] <DuncanNZ> subcool, u said its not write protected, have you checked the switch on the side of the card itself
[21:04] <subcool> DuncanNZ, ya- thas what i meant
[21:04] <DuncanNZ> MonkeyDust, ok
[21:04] <DuncanNZ> ok
[21:04] <DuncanNZ> is it microsd?
[21:05] <subcool> yes- i put it into a converter
[21:05] <agrestringere> Does anyone here know how to fix a broken apt situation that's critical?
[21:05] <subcool> DuncanNZ, it says access denied. Could not write to /media/location
[21:05] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: does it involve ppas?
[21:06] <DuncanNZ> subcool, ls -l /media
[21:06] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, Ubuntu Main Server
[21:06] <agrestringere> check bug #1109207
[21:07] <agrestringere> I'll get you terminal output hold on
[21:07] <Guest84473> I cant access the "nomodeset". When i be there, what i have to do. How can I choose the right mode?
[21:07] <DuncanNZ> subcool, although you said u checked permissions so im probably not helping. sorry don't have any other ideas.
[21:08] <subcool> DuncanNZ, its ok- thanks.

[21:09] <bubo_> How do I fix this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587061/
[21:10] <SonikkuAmerica> bubo_: Go to System Settings
[21:10] <bubo_> I am headless linux
[21:10] <bubo_> ubuntu 11.10 x64
[21:10] <SonikkuAmerica> bubo_: What?
[21:10] <bubo_> SonikkuAmerica: I got that problem on my VPS. I can't go into system settings
[21:11] <bubo_> SonikkuAmerica: it's terminal only
[21:11] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: have you installed any ppas?
[21:11] <SonikkuAmerica> bubo_: OK
[21:11] <agrestringere> Yes, but not any that installed libc6
[21:11] <agrestringere> ThinkT510 how do I get a list?
[21:12] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: check your sources.list
[21:12] <bubo_> SonikkuAmerica: any idea how to fix it?
[21:12] <SonikkuAmerica> bubo_: I couldn't tell you the first thing about Ubuntu Server
[21:12] <bubo_> It's Ubuntu 11.10, not Ubuntu Server..
[21:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Bubo, you said it was a terminal-only vps
[21:13] <ThinkT510> Bubo: 11.10 has both server and deskop versions
[21:13] <marcos> does any body here can help me to acces to #asterisk ? I just cant
[21:13] <Bubo> Oh. THen it's the server one, sorry
[21:13] <marcos> any idea ?
[21:13] <ThinkT510> Bubo: same thing underneathe
[21:14] <y2j> using amd firepro w8000, how do install latest catlyst and use extend displays
[21:14] <y2j> using two montiors want the task bar on the left screen?
[21:14] <SonikkuAmerica> I couldn't run a VPS sans gui anyway.
[21:14] <Bubo> So can anyone help me with this locale problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587061/
[21:15] <agrestringere> ThinkT510 here is the sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587079/
[21:17] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: anything interesting in sources.list.d?
[21:19] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: any reason you're using the proposed repo/
[21:19] <ThinkT510> ?
[21:20] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, because I wanted access to later software, but is there a way I can roll back?
[21:21] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: you realise proposed is like testing right?
[21:21] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, didn't know that, how can I revert?
[21:22] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: disable the repo in software sources and sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:23] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, should I also check OFF Backports?
[21:23] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: up to you, i've never used either
[21:26] <dns53> agrestringere have you tried using ppa-purge?   you install the app (it is not in the distro, it has a ppa) and run ppa-purge ppa:name   this removes any packages installed from that ppa and installs the normal version of the package
[21:26] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, to get the latest Nvidia Drivers I should use X-SWAT PPA yes?
[21:26] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: i avoid ppas
[21:27] <agrestringere> ThinkT510, then should I install directly from the deb package for that?
[21:27] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: why not stick to the software in the repos?
[21:28] <ThinkT510> agrestringere: thats why there are repos
[21:29] <agrestringere> Restarting brb
[21:31] <Bubo> I have multiple python, python2.6, python2.7. How can I make easy_install use one of them? only python2.7 and not others?

[21:32] <Bubo> I just installed a higher version and still can't get the mysql-python saying I am using another version of distribute.. any idea?
[21:34] <Pici> Bubo: Is this winthin a virtualenv?
[21:34] <Bubo> No Pici
[21:34] <Bubo> no virtualenv
[21:34] <Pici> Bubo: Is there a reason you're not using the package in the repositories?
[21:35] <Bubo> What package Pici
[21:35] <Bubo> It says "The required version of distribute (>=0.6.28) is not available," and in the paste I gave you, the first command installs a version higher than that one.. Which is weird
[21:36] <Michelfp> i'm trying to compile eggdrop but i get this error

[21:37] <Michelfp> o
[21:37] <Pici> Bubo: one moment
[21:37] <Bubo> Pici: I am on ubuntu 11.10
[21:38] <Bubo> Also Pici, can you look at this too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587061/ please
[21:38] <ironhalik> do I need cpufreqd if I already use tlp or laptop-mode-tools?
[21:41] <Pici> Bubo: does it work if you run easy_install2.7 ?
[21:41] <Bubo> Pici: I found python-mysqldb, which worked.. I just hope it's not some old, old, version
[21:41] <Bubo> Pici: from the repos, apt-get install python-mysqldb
[21:41] <Pici> Bubo: Its nearly the same version thats in the current Ubuntu release.
[21:46] <source_> Hello
[21:47] <source_> Would anyone know why I have to log out then log back in for my mouse to work?
[21:47] <ThinkT510> source_: perhaps your mouse is just too awesome for your desktop to handle
[21:47] <Bubo> Ok Pici. Any idea for my other problem??
[21:48] <source_> Hahaha I wish. It only clicks certain windows. Unless i log out and login. Then it works fine.
[21:48] <nibbler>  i'm just migrating to digikam, was using f-spot before. when importing my collections, sometimes the tags, saved in Subject (XMP i assume) like "tag1, tag2, tag3" get imported as ONE tag, sometimes they get split, resulting in three distinct tags. how to make it distinct tags everytime?
[21:50] <dartos> What video drivers should I get for the GTX560Ti?
[21:50] <dartos> The only drivers I see on the software center say they are for gtx 600+
[21:52] <daftykins> dartos: doesn't matter. those'll be fine.
[21:52] <Castial> hey I have a Gnome-shell/Unity issue and its an issue on both machines
[21:53] <Castial> I need to add wine to the "open with" as default
[21:53] <dave_ubuntu> hi, whenever i try and install the 13.1 catalyst drivers for my ati4850, it'll create an xorg.conf and when i reboot it'll make my monitors out of range on the login screen, if i remove the xorg it still doesn't work. any help?
[21:53] <dartos> daftykins: I think I'll try the ones from their site. I didn't know they had Linux versions from the geforce site. Sorry for the bother
[21:54] <daftykins> dartos: i'd recommend using the hardware drivers over downloading manually. APT is healthier
[21:54] <dartos> daftykins: What do you mean APT? I am pretty new to linux...
[21:55] <daftykins> dartos: it's the way software packages are downloaded and installed automagically
[21:55] <Castial> dave_ubuntu, you have odd monitors probably try opening the xorg.conf files with a text editor, and set the htz to 60 and set the resolution to what it is the monitors are suppose to have
[21:55] <dartos> Oh
[21:55] <dartos> apt-get
[21:55] <Castial> simply deleting the xorg will recreate it with the ati drivers
[21:55] <daftykins> dartos: yep. just try the latest version the hardware drivers program offers you and see how it goes
[21:56] <dartos> I had to get that additional drivers program from the software center
[21:56] <Castial> how do I add Wine to the programs list, there is no "use custom command" anymore
[21:56] <dartos> but there are 4 drivers in that thing...
[21:56] <dartos> 2 beta and 2 non-beta
[21:56] <dave_ubuntu> Castial, I've tried that. Gave them a VertRefresh (iirc) for my range.
[21:56] <Castial> you dont need to
[21:56] <dartos> daftykins: your talking about jockey-kde right?
[21:56] <Castial> just set it to 6-htz
[21:56] <Castial> 60 rather
[21:56] <Bubo> How do I fix this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1587061/ - thanks
[21:57] <Castial> and set it to the proper resolution
[21:57] <ubuntu346> im trying to recover a RAID0 array, using testdisk, after resetting it through RAID BIOS - but testdisk is accessing the disk with CHS 34632452345 1 1 - and throwing warnings left and right, about incorrect sectors and/or heads... would these errors keep me from finding my original partitions ?
[21:57] <dave_ubuntu> my monitor doesn't support 60, that's the issue
[21:57] <daftykins> dartos: sure
[21:57] <Castial> then get a better monitor
[21:57] <dave_ubuntu> its 70-85 by the looks.
[21:57] <Castial> then set it to 85
[21:57] <dave_ubuntu> yeah i'll do just that
[21:57] <daftykins> dave_ubuntu: is it a CRT?
[21:57] <Castial> if its crt it supports as low as 56
[21:57] <dave_ubuntu> its 2 x flat
[21:58] <daftykins> all LCDs support 59/60
[21:58] <Castial> if none of the higher ones work, set it to 56
[21:59] <Castial> daftykins, not all some only support "56" but are oh heavens whats that word
[21:59] <Castial> there is no refresh rate per say and its set to 56
[21:59] <dartos> daftykins: it seems that the driver install failed
[21:59] <Castial> how do I get the latest nvidia drivers
[21:59] <daftykins> Castial: yeah. never seen 56 :O that's a new one on me and i've seen a lot
[21:59] <OerHeks> Castial, resetting the monitor with its own menu might help
[22:00] <Castial> I had them installed through the terminal and an update broke them
[22:00] <Castial> so I had to revert to the 304 ones
[22:00] <Castial> is there a deb of the 310 ones?
[22:02] <dartos> I tried installing the nvidia drivers but it failed :'(
[22:02] <dartos> here is the log from jockey
[22:02] <dartos> http://pastebin.com/i6xUgy6U
[22:02] <Castial> oh ok they are in the repositories as "experimental"
[22:02] <Castial> cool
[22:02] <dartos> If anyone would be so kind to help me out
[22:02] <Castial> remove the nvidia drivers
[22:03] <dartos> Castial: there are none fresh install...
[22:03] <Castial> sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[22:03] <Castial> sudo apt-get update
[22:03] <Castial> sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:03] <dartos> Castial: already updated and upgraded
[22:03] <Castial> sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings-experimental-310+
[22:03] <dartos> Castial: oh the experimental one... that might do it
[22:03] <Castial> get rid of the + at the end there
[22:03] <Castial> they arent beta
[22:03] <Castial> they are in final form
[22:04]  * dartos shrugs
[22:04] <dartos> okay
[22:04] <no-n> why are there guides  for "safely removing pulseaudio".. what is "unsafe" about just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio?
[22:04] <Castial> they are "experimental" because they are the latest ones
[22:04] <zilkomaa> How is movies playing with vlc in ubuntu nowdays? Does they run smooth .mkv files i mean.
[22:04] <ubuntu346> exit
[22:04] <Castial> zilkomaa, works fine here
[22:04] <Castial> I use vlc for everything
[22:04] <zilkomaa> Castial, what gpu u have?
[22:05] <Castial> vlc is the only media player iirc that plays blu rays
[22:05] <Castial> nvidia gtx 550
[22:05] <jhutchins_wk> I was going to ask about blu rays.  How about mplayer?
[22:05] <zilkomaa> Castial, okok i have hd 6950 and thinking to try ubuntu again
[22:05] <Castial> you will hate using linux with an ati card
[22:05] <zilkomaa> Castial, I need to have smooth playback
[22:06] <Castial> that one anyway
[22:06] <zilkomaa> Castial, wow really..
[22:06] <Castial> any amd card after the 7k series is awesome
[22:06] <Castial> but 6k and lower still suck
[22:06] <zilkomaa> dam
[22:07] <zilkomaa> have a win7 now and i am not going to install win8 i hate it
[22:07] <usr13> zilkomaa: Good luck with that.
[22:08] <zilkomaa> usr13, with what? ubuntu?
[22:08] <Castial> windows 8 isnt bad
[22:08] <usr13> Castial: Really?
[22:08] <Bubo> I get """ Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
[22:08] <Bubo> via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM} configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
[22:08] <Bubo> option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
[22:08] <Bubo> """ on anything I try with adduser
[22:08] <Castial> I use it on my new laptop
[22:08] <FloodBot1> Bubo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:08] <zilkomaa> Castial, i dont like it at all
[22:08] <Bubo> Oh it pasted in lines, sorry.
[22:08] <Castial> works great with a multi-touch touchpad
[22:08] <DuncanNZ> it's unusable!
[22:09] <Castial> gestures are amazing
[22:09] <usr13> Castial: Well, I've yet to try it on a touchpad
[22:09] <Castial> its completely different than using a mouse
[22:09] <usr13> Maybe it's good for that.
[22:09] <Castial> it makes using the touchpad actually nice
[22:09] <Castial> using 2 fingers and scrolling with the UI is awesome
[22:10] <kevinmthomas> question: I have CUPS installed on ubuntu server and i have a network printer installed at 192.168.1.50
[22:10] <no-n> why are there guides  for "safely removing pulseaudio".. what is "unsafe" about just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio?
[22:10] <Castial> I prefer Gnome-Shell, but I need windows for random stuff here and there
[22:10] <kevinmthomas> i am not able to lp -d print from linux and I have edited the conf file
[22:10] <MonkeyDust> kevinmthomas  #ubuntu-server
[22:10] <kevinmthomas> sorry
[22:10] <kevinmthomas> ill go there
[22:10] <usr13> kevinmthomas: firefox localhost:631
[22:10] <Castial> kevinmthomas, with cups do you have it set to print to network or local?
[22:11] <usr13> kevinmthomas: Or, yes, as MonkeyDust suggests, #ubuntu-server
[22:11] <Castial> you can point to the ip all you want if its set to local printer, it wont print because of the firewall settings
[22:11] <Castial> common overlooked mistake
[22:12] <Castial> ive actually done it a few times
[22:12] <zilkomaa> Castial, do u know how hard is to get hdmi work in ubuntu?
[22:12] <Castial> with nvidia, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[22:12] <usr13> Castial: What do you mean "it wont print because of the firewall settings"?
[22:12] <zilkomaa> sound and all no problems
[22:12] <Castial> im sitting on a 50" hd tv now
[22:13] <Castial> I use the sound card
[22:13] <zilkomaa> through av receiver to hdtv
[22:13]  * Castial shrugs
[22:13] <zilkomaa> ok
[22:13] <Castial> lemme check
[22:13] <Castial> yes working on nvidia
[22:13] <Castial> heh now I have sound on my tv speakers
[22:13] <Castial> which I never use
[22:13] <zilkomaa> hhe
[22:13] <UpBrain> hello guys. My system broke due to driver installed which could not access via Grub. I am now accessing via LiveCD Ubuntu 12.04. I can configure my 12.10 system broken by here?
[22:13] <Castial> I use my turtle beach headphones and my surround sound
[22:14] <Wug> UpBrain: you can reinstall grup via the livecd
[22:14] <Wug> grub*
[22:14] <Castial> I love gnome shell
[22:14] <Castial> so much more usable than it once was
[22:15] <UpBrain> Wug. How partner?
[22:15] <zilkomaa> i remember 32bit version worked better with programs
[22:16] <zilkomaa> guess i install that
[22:16] <Wug> UpBrain: here's a thread on ubuntuforums detailing the process: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1326991
[22:16] <Wug> it was written in 2009 for an older version of ubuntu but it should still be pretty much the same process
[22:17] <UpBrain> Can I remove a all drivers by Livecd?
[22:17] <usr13> kevinmthomas: firefox localhost:631  Set as server default
[22:17] <Castial> I dont understand the gnome-shell hate
[22:18] <Wug> UpBrain: you could, but I don't know how. you'd have to wait for someone who knows
[22:18] <Wug> The thread I have you just links here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:18] <Wug> there are instructions in there (somewhere) for reinstalling grub
[22:18] <zilkomaa> Castial, i dont understand any shell hate .D
[22:18] <Castial> I dont hate Unity, I just prefer the gnome experience
[22:18] <beowulf2> how do you find out what version of ubuntu you have?
[22:18] <UpBrain> Wug, thank you.
[22:19] <Castial> beowulf2, the one you downloaded
[22:19] <beowulf2> also my brother's movie player isn't playing .avi files for some reason
[22:19] <k1l> Castial: the #ubuntu-offtopic was the right channel to discuss this topic :)
[22:19] <beowulf2> i mean from terminal castial
[22:19] <Wug> UpBrain: after one more link click, you get here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[22:19] <UpBrain> Anyone know how can I uninstall drivers and configure the grub by Live CD?
[22:20] <madprops> i made a shortcut to sudo apt-get install. small bash script http://radpaste.com/554/
[22:20] <Wug> this page has the instructions you're looking for (ctrl+f "reinstall")
[22:20] <joey8> beowulf2➤ try lsb_release -a
[22:20] <Castial> beowulf2, lsb_release -a
[22:20] <dartos> well now my computer won't boot right -_-
[22:20] <dartos> unity wont load
[22:21] <UpBrain> I have access to files of my system broken, but, how can I reconfigure grub and remove installed drivers?
[22:21] <beowulf2> i'm using release 10.04 and for some reason the movie player wont play .avi files, can someone help fix this?
[22:22] <MaynardWaters> beowulf2: i suggest trying vlc
[22:22] <ZeloZelos> UpBrain, i suggest copying/saving personal data and files, and do a full re-install
[22:22] <beowulf2> "an error occured, could not read from resource" is the error
[22:22] <ms3> ?
[22:22] <rpaddock> any particular reason Compiz PUT -> Next Output  wouln't work?
[22:22] <ThinkT510> beowulf2: just so you know 10.04 desktop support ends in april
[22:22] <Castial> is there a way to auto-mount volumes on boot?
[22:23] <Castial> windows volumes I mean
[22:23] <Castial> lots of files on the volume and I am too lazy to switch it to ext4 yet
[22:23] <Castial> brb need to reboot
[22:24] <ZeloZelos> Castial, use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[22:24] <Dessimat0r> hmmm
[22:24] <UpBrain> ZeloZelo ' I really want!! But, I will lost everything... programs.. and all..
[22:24] <Dessimat0r> for some reason I have no SSH upstart service
[22:24] <Dessimat0r> even though openssh-server is installed
[22:24] <Dessimat0r> and I had it rescan manually
[22:25] <ZeloZelos> UpBrain, you will probably find that even if you get the system to work again. those programs n such may still not work
[22:25] <Dessimat0r> any way to fix this?
[22:27] <UpBrain> ZeloZelos, thank you! I will download the QQ and re'install. It is better. Good night everyone!!!
[22:28] <Castial> this is really beginning to bug me
[22:28] <Castial> Wine shows up in the right click menu
[22:28] <Castial> how do I add it to the other programs list
[22:29] <Castial> there is no "use command" button anymore
[22:29] <Castial> what do I do?
[22:29] <Castial> it is the same on both Gnome-Shell and Unity
[22:30] <ZeloZelos> Castial, the run command is still there, hit the window button, type run...if i remember correctly..havent used it in a while
[22:31] <Castial> I wish they would allow me to "create link"
[22:31] <Castial> why the hell did canonical remove that
[22:31] <Castial> its so damn annoying
[22:31] <ZeloZelos> drag n drop to desktop makes links still i think
[22:31] <Castial> nope just a copy
[22:32] <Castial> I make a link, and if the link isnt in the folder it doesnt work
[22:32] <Castial> they took a completely workable system and completely broke it
[22:32] <Castial> ok cool I got the link on the desktop
[22:33] <Castial> but there is no way to change the options anymore
[22:33] <dave_ubuntu> it was the resolution that needed to be defined and used with the aticonfig tool
[22:33] <Castial> it used to be easy god
[22:33] <dave_ubuntu> fun tmes
[22:33] <ZeloZelos> Castial, maybe you will like mint better instead
[22:33] <dave_ubuntu> cheers for the help guys
[22:33] <Castial> dave_ubuntu, same for Nvidia
[22:33] <Castial> ZeloZelos, ill give it a go later
[22:34] <dave_ubuntu> when in doubt, build your own closed source undocumented tool
[22:34] <Castial> it just seems ass backwards to not allow me to make desktop icons to applications
[22:34] <Castial> dave_ubuntu, same for Windows, OSX, Hurd, and any other system
[22:34] <Castial> even Intel has a tool now iirc
[22:35] <dave_ubuntu> you don't **need** one in windows
[22:35] <dave_ubuntu> for special driver specific stuff maybe
[22:35] <Castial> dave_ubuntu, because Microsoft dictates to them "you MUST use our system" on Linux hardware vendors have the freedom to do that
[22:35] <Castial> hence the term "freedom"
[22:35] <dave_ubuntu> indeed
[22:36] <Castial> I mean if thats your biggest annoyance you have other issues to learn like the fact they need you to add a repository to use up to date software
[22:37] <Castial> they need to keep the software in the repos more up to date
[22:37] <Castial> its annoying as piss to have 100000 repos for all the apps I use when 1 repository should do it
[22:37] <Castial> that was what they were meant to do, they were meant to remove confusion
[22:38] <bipul> Please if any one know how to fix this issue, then let me know http://pastebin.com/F5S54HVT
[22:38] <Castial> 1 repo to rule them all
[22:38] <Castial> not to mention Canonical removed all the emulators it used to have
[22:38] <Castial> it removed codecs
[22:39] <Castial> it removed anything that wasnt disney friendly
[22:39] <beandog> that is a gross oversimplification
[22:39] <Castial> beandog, the sad fact is it is true though
[22:40] <Castial> what once was, that made Ubuntu great is now seemingly gone
[22:40] <calwig> lo
[22:41] <Castial> bipul, looks like a known bug
[22:41] <spydmobile> Hi folks, I have a headscratcher and need some bright ideas. I have a ubuntu server: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-36-generic x86_64) that has a nealy full root partiton but for the life of me I have tried every trick I know to find why or how, but I cannot seem to find the bloat.
[22:41] <beandog> how full is full
[22:42] <spydmobile> beandog: /dev/mapper/smvmbackup64-root      15G   14G  373M  98% /
[22:42] <beandog> eh
[22:42] <beandog> that's normal
[22:42] <beandog> but install ncdu and run it at / and you can poke around to see what's using the most
[22:42] <beandog> If I had to guess, I'd say /home /var/log /tmp and /var/tmp
[22:42] <Castial> my gentoo server uses like 90% all the time for temp files
[22:43] <SolarisB1y> Castial: do you really think one repo is the answer to that?
[22:43] <Castial> clear your temp files and get janitor
[22:43] <beandog> Castial: tmpwatch ftw
[22:43] <Castial> beandog, that too
[22:43] <beandog> never used janitor
[22:43] <bipul> Castial, ?
[22:43] <Castial> janitor is a front end with some custom commands
[22:43] <Castial> same thing as tmpwatch but for other things
[22:43] <SolarisB1y> it seems like ubuntu like all other distros controls versions of software uploaded to their repo - i think it's normal and without it if those ppa versions got pushed to standard repos everyone would have a broken system
[22:44] <Castial> no we wouldnt
[22:44] <SDr> hello. using the command-line mail program, how can I scroll down in the list of incoming mails? (ie: got more, than 200 mails in there, need to check latest ones)
[22:44] <Castial> not if they did it right
[22:44] <spydmobile> beandog: ncdu shows my /usr at 650mb and my /var at 495mb
[22:44] <beandog> spydmobile: yah, that's a gig total, that's not much
[22:44] <SolarisB1y> which would in turn be making the core libraries unstable to do it "right"
[22:45] <Castial> not core libraries but applications
[22:45] <SolarisB1y> when each ppa pulls in it's own list of deps etc its gonna break stuff
[22:45] <Castial> like gimp wasnt the latest for over a year after its release
[22:45] <SolarisB1y> apps end up depending on core libraries somwehere it can't be prevented
[22:45] <bipul> is there any one who has performed network simulation emulation in ubuntu.
[22:45] <spydmobile> beandog: exactly, I have scoured and cant find anything even remotely big enough, this was a fresh install with a hand full of thingks like openssh etc...
[22:45] <Castial> I suppose its still annoyingly broken
[22:46] <chris__> Does anyone know how I can change the user that an upstart service is run as?
[22:46] <beandog> spydmobile: oh yah?  Hmm, because I generally do about 15G for a fresh install too.  You said server, right?
[22:46] <spydmobile> ?q
[22:46] <Castial> later peeps been real helping and all
[22:46] <SolarisB1y> install x and it wants to install it's own version of a-lib b-lib etc. where a-lib and b-lib required by app c which is also system app - broken system - there needs to be a working location to start from, thats why they did ppa's to let you break your own systems
[22:46] <beandog> Castial: laters
[22:46] <SolarisB1y> peace
[22:46] <spydmobile> bea
[22:46] <spydmobile> beandog: sorry, you mean a base server install should hover near 15GB?
[22:47] <beandog> spydmobile: no, I was saying I'd probably do the same thing
[22:47] <beandog> spydmobile: a 15gb root install
[22:47] <beandog> spydmobile: anyway.  Dunno.  ncdu / will show something though
[22:47] <spydmobile> beandog: right, ya, more than enough for running KVM
[22:47] <lunarjar> Hi, I'm planning to move to 13.04. Can I use the daily and the just will have to update through repos, or will I have to rsync a new daily everytime I want to update?
[22:47] <jrib> !13.04 | lunarjar
[22:48] <shinobi_420> greetings #ubuntu
[22:53] <xibalba> hey folks, anyone know if there is an Ubuntu OVF I can deploy quickly?
[22:54] <millennia> what is OVF?
[22:54] <xibalba> I dont want to have to run through the installer
[22:54] <xibalba> OVF = Open Virtual Format
[22:54] <xibalba> like a VM template
[22:54] <millennia> are you doing mass deployment to identical machines?
[22:55] <xibalba> no, i just need one handy because i generally quickly deploy an ubuntu box, test something, throw it away
[22:55] <xibalba> I can make my own, figured someone might have one already
[22:55] <jhutchins_wk> xibalba: So make your own.
[22:55] <xibalba> jhutchins_wk, well that requires more time than i obviously wanted to invest...
[22:55] <xibalba> jhutchins_wk, wonderful input btw, very helpful
[22:56] <Dessimat0r> i have no /etc/init.d/ssh or no /etc/init.d/sshd or /etc/init/ssh or /etc/init/sshd file with openssh-server installed on 12.10. What to do?
[22:56] <Dessimat0r> i reinstalled openssh-server
[22:56] <Dessimat0r> and nothing happened
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> i expect that the upstart script to detect ssh is missing
[22:57] <jrib> Dessimat0r: you have no idea why this is?
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> for whatever reason
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> but how to put that back?
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> i guess it is because of some hard disk corruption i suffered a while back
[22:57]  * xibalba throws jhutchins_wk a few packets to eat
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> but what package needs reinstalling in that case?
[22:57] <jrib> Dessimat0r: just purge openssh-server and install it again
[22:57] <Dessimat0r> something that handles the upstart init scripts
[22:58] <Dessimat0r> i did apt-get install openssh-server --reinstall
[22:58] <jrib> Dessimat0r: ok, now purge and install it again
[22:58] <Dessimat0r> that isn't the same as a purge/install?
[22:58] <Dessimat0r> ok
[22:58] <malkauns> in 12.10 why do i have no compress dialog when i want to compress a file in nautilus?
[22:58] <malkauns> nothing pops up

[23:00] <spydmobile> beandog: Wow, I found it - crazy. somehow, my huge backup partion must have not been mounted and a huge backup was made to the mountpoint then later when the backup partion was mounted and emptied, it hid the 12 gig of files backup there!!!!
[23:01] <spydmobile> cd ..
[23:01] <xibalba> jhutchins_wk, learn from OerHeks
[23:02] <agrestringere_> ThinkT150 solved my issue today with the libc6 broken download wanted to thank the room #ubuntu for the help
[23:04] <xibalba> jhutchins_wk, you must be bitter living in Kansas
[23:15] <Rayshi> Hello I'm a new ubuntu user, I've been having problems to install ubuntu on my computer. I had some issue which I pinpointed to my Ahci and I was led to believe using the option acpi=off should fix it. And it did for that issue. But now a new error has shown up http://imgur.com/PPxTVqI this screen just flashes until I shut down the pc. Thanks for any help ahead of time
[23:17] <Chriys> Hi guys, does somebody has a great link on how to configure postfix ?
[23:18] <Chriys> Because i configured mine but it cannot send email outside of the local network
[23:20] <DuncanNZ> test
[23:21] <histo> !postfix | Chriys
[23:21] <DuncanNZ> test
[23:21] <histo> !test | DuncanNZ
[23:24] <Rayshi> any other official channels where I may find some help regarding my issue?
[23:24] <Chriys> what is your issue Rayshi
[23:25] <Rayshi> I've been having problems to install ubuntu on my computer. I had some issue which I pinpointed to my Ahci and I was led to believe using the option acpi=off should fix it. And it did for that issue. But now a new error has shown up http://imgur.com/PPxTVqI this screen just flashes until I shut down the pc. Thanks for any help ahead of time
[23:25] <beandog> Rayshi: kernel panic.  That sucks.  Which version are you installing
[23:25] <Rayshi> 12.10 i believe the lastest stable
[23:25] <ekristen> is there any tool out there to manage a apt repository via a GUI or web interface? following that question I'm looking at running dozens of ubuntu servers internally, is there a way to have an APT mirror, but where I can approve packages before they show up in the mirror?
[23:26] <beandog> Rayshi: what kind of hardware
[23:27] <Rayshi> Beandog: EVGA X58 Classified3 samsung 830 128GB any other part in specific?
[23:28] <Chriys> ekriten: to generate repository here is a lin =>http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[23:28] <Chriys> ekristen but what is the exact issue that you have
[23:29] <Chriys> do you have a particular error message
[23:29] <beandog> Rayshi: yah, dunno.  I dunno where to start with that
[23:30] <Rayshi> I'm going to try to update the bios
[23:30] <Rayshi> see if that helps any
[23:30] <beandog> Rayshi: okay.  My first inclination was to say to reset the bios to factory defaults.  If you feel comfortable with that.
[23:31] <Chriys> me too.
[23:32] <Rayshi> beandog: well I think the problem might be on ahci but I have to use ahci for TRIM
[23:33] <remontees> €€€$$$
[23:35] <histo> Chriys: Also it's quite possible your ISP is block port 25 outbound
[23:36] <tab1293> I am trying to set up a pptp server on ubuntu but I am not sure what to use for the remote and local ip in pptpd.conf. here is my ifconfig output http://pastebin.ca/2308764
[23:36] <Chriys> histo: good remark. i have open the 25 on my router. do you know a way to verify that.
[23:38] <millennia> http://www.lunarforums.com/email_troubleshooting_and_tips/videotron_implements_outgoing_port_25_block-t26357.0.html
[23:39] <millennia> Chriys | yes it appear they did block port 25, and probably still do
[23:39] <Chriys> millenia thanks for the link. do you know if i can ask them to unblock it on my modem ?
[23:40] <histo> Chriys: A lot of ISP's block outbout port 25 to avoid people from setting up server to spam with.
[23:41] <Chriys> but question how thunderbird do to send email ?
[23:41] <histo> Chriys: becuase your isp's server is sending email out.  Not thunderbird
[23:41] <Chriys> histo: can i use another port instead of the 25 ?
[23:42] <millennia> Chriys | with a big isp like videotron, not much chance
[23:42] <millennia> Chriys | you can usually use port 465
[23:42] <barrett> my raid hard drives are beeping, this is not good, I rebooted and now the array didn't come up.  what can I do to test them?
[23:43] <millennia> Chriys | port 465 is smtp with ssl
[23:43] <Chriys> thanks millenia and how do i know if this port is open ?
[23:44] <histo> Chriys: I've only looked into setting up a mail server and understand the fundamentals. I've never actually done it. Because I was worried about spammers.  You may have better luck in #ubuntu-server.
[23:44] <Chriys> thanks histo
[23:44] <millennia> Chriys | you can tell if 465 is open by looking at videotron's faq, or by trying to use it with some mail server that offers ssl
[23:46] <_helios_> Finaly got my ssh server running had to change the port from 22 I think my ISP was blocking it.
[23:47] <histo> Chriys: You also might be able to use your isp's mail servers to relay messages
[23:48] <Chriys> that one can be cool histo
[23:50] <entreri> hey there, I added a new user and then deleted the old one. Now, I can't run sudo because my new user is not in sudoer file, the old user had administrator privilege... what can I do to grant privileges to new user ?
[23:50] <zykotick9> entreri: add the user to the sudo group (which might be tricky, as it requires sudo)
[23:51] <jrib> entreri: reboot in recovery mode to add the user to the sudo group
[23:51] <millennia> entreri | boot with the live cd and edit the group file
[23:52] <nIcestAdie> WOOOOO NICEST
[23:52] <entreri> lol, there is a way maybe to login as root ?
[23:52] <malkauns> in 12.10 how do i get empathy to remember my yahoo contacts?
[23:52] <jrib> entreri: reboot in recovery mode to add the user to the sudo group
[23:52] <ESphynx> hey guys, why is Quantal sooooo slow in VirtualBox ? And how do I disable these transitions or what not? clicking on a dock icon takes like 10 seconds with a super slow animation
[23:52] <ESphynx> note: I have 'animations' turned off in compiz settings manager
[23:52] <entreri> jrib: in recovery mode we have root access ?
[23:52] <jrib> entreri: yes
[23:53] <entreri> jrib: I will do that thanks
[23:53] <ESphynx> Quantal it's basically unusable in VirtualBox
[23:53] <Frozenthia> Hello, I have a graphics card: GeForce GTX 580 from NVIDIA. I'm using the latest Kubuntu version, for KDE. KDE freezes for nouveau, saying something like "nouveau lockup" if I give it a chance to blackscreen. It doesn't blackscreen at the logo fade, but it freezes.
[23:53] <jrib> I wonder if he knows how to add a user to a group
[23:54] <histo> ESphynx: That's possibly due to the removal of unity2d
[23:54] <ESphynx> histo why on earth would that be done
[23:54] <mattwj2002> hi guys ubuntu for android
[23:54] <ESphynx> histo know any work around?
[23:54] <mattwj2002> is that available yet?
[23:54] <mattwj2002> if so where is it at?
[23:55] <barrett> I'm really desperate is there anyone that can help me with my mdadm array not coming up?
[23:55] <Frozenthia> That was weird.
[23:55] <barrett> the hard drives seem to be making noises, beeping, I need to run some diagnostics or get it online to copy data off if its failling
[23:55] <histo> ESphynx: try a different desktop environment
[23:56] <kryl> hi, what about backup ntfs partition (with win vista) I used dd to backup & restore like normal. And don't touch the master boot record. But for the second time when I boot after restoring this partition win stay locked on the logo. Any advices please ? What am I doing wrong ?
[23:56] <histo> !phone | mattwj2002
[23:56] <mattwj2002> thanks histo
[23:56] <mattwj2002> :d
[23:56] <Frozenthia> Anyway,when I install Nvidia-Current, and reboot, a "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" error comes up.
[23:57] <ESphynx> histo: Is there an easy way to switch? I don't care much for Unity.
[23:57] <millennia> ESphynx | xubuntu is good
[23:57] <ESphynx> millennia: i don't want to reinstall
[23:57] <histo> ESphynx: sure you can sudo apt-get install xfce   or kde or lxde or whatever DE you want to run.  Or you can install the meta packages like xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop  etc...
[23:58] <millennia> ESphynx | all you have to do is replace unity with xfce and it's xubuntu :)
[23:58] <gmachine_24> Hi. I am wiping a laptop hd to reinstall Windows Vista (I am selling the computer) - there is an easy way, I believe, to overwrite the grub boot files etc. otherwise I end up dd'ing the entire drive.
[23:58] <histo> ESphynx: You don't need to reinstall to get xubuntu. Just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop    and at the login screen click the ubuntu logo by your name to change the default session.
[23:58] <ESphynx> can I install cinnamon?
[23:58] <ESphynx> cinnamon is decent.
[23:59] <gmachine_24> Sorry, I am booting from a Ubuntu flash drive with 12.04 LTS live install
[23:59] <gmachine_24> ....... eegads...... flash drive as in USB drive
[23:59] <histo> gmachine_24: yeah dd is your safest bet. Something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
[23:59] <histo> gmachine_24: assuming /dev/sda is the drive you want ot wipe
[23:59] <gmachine_24> histo yeah that's what I typically do ......... otherwise grub remains. Just looking for a shortcut
[23:59] <millennia> ESphynx | cinnamon is a forbidden topic
