OerHeksgskellig, maybe you want to checkout the #bumblebee channel too00:00
Celsogskellig, stick with bumblebee because with vgaswitcheroo, i can't alternate from intel to ati.00:00
xiusis there anyone around that can help me install 12.04 onto my mac? I'm experiencing some issues I haven't seen in any tute.00:00
gskelligCelso, I'm confused, isn't that the point? That you can switch back and forth00:00
jhutchins_wkSara: Do you understand what happened now?00:01
pamelahi can eny one know program "gnome disk utility" ? I have install it but i cant see my hardrives there00:01
bluntedXius ask away no idea if help can be given00:01
Celsogskellig, well, it is but hybrid graphics on linux is curently problematic. in theory, vgaswitcheroo should work but for now, i didnt found yet a solution.00:02
xiuswhen I ran the installer, it encountered an error when installing grub, so I decided to restart my mac holding "alt" so I could boot into OS X again00:02
xiusexcept, the only disk it showed availible to load was "Windows" which I had not seen before00:03
bluntedGskellig, this doesn't work right windows yet and its nvidia.  I wish you the new of uck00:03
jhutchins_wkxius: Try thatl refit may have mistaken it.00:03
xiusrEFIt didn't even load.00:03
gskelligI'm not really interested in the "hybrid" as much as I am just being able to switch between one or another00:03
gskelligI don't mind doing it manually, I want my laptop on the integrated graphcis 90% of the time anyway00:04
Celsogskellig, for me, to be able to use intell i need to use sleep 6 comand on /rc.local file  but if i dont use that command, i am not able to switch it00:04
gskelligah gotcha00:04
L3topgskellig: I assume you are on an ati hybrid?00:04
roastedWell that's fun. I have my server running with two mirrored drives via mdadm. To test a fault, I powered it off, unhooked one drive, and booted up. I said y to boot degraded and things worked fine on a single drive. So, I powered back off, plugged in the other hdd, powered up, and now it's booting up degraded each and every single flipping time. Nice.00:04

L3topgskellig: you want bumblebee00:05

histoL3top: Also from what Sara describing what happened. She didn't even overwrite any of the vfiles on the ubuntu partition. That data was most likely untouched on the drive.  The partion was deleted it was dual partitioned at the half way point of the disk.  Then windows created a parttion and installed to the begining of the desk where it was originally. Not even touching the second half of the disk00:12

ubottuUbuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic00:16

UlyssesGaHi there!  Repeat question from earlier today (I had to step away).  I'm having a problem dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04.  Non-UEFI system (so no Secure boot).  Each installation is on its own hard drive, with the Ubuntu drive being the set as the primary bootable device in the system BIOS. (grub2 also situated on linux drive).00:40
UlyssesGaIf Win8 is set as the first bootable HD, it starts fine.  If the Ubuntu drive is chosen as the 1st bootable drive and I attempt to boot to Win 8 from grub, Win8 immediately reboots.00:40
dr_willisive seen systems (bios's) that swap hds around. so that whatever hd boots.. becomes sda.  that would mean when you boot the win8 drive directly its sda. but when grub boots it from the 2nd hd.. it would become sdb..  that might confuse windows..   (not sire if this IS the issue. but ive seen that issue)00:43
phoenixsamprashellowzor00:46
OerHeksdr_willis, should UlyssesGa set boot on the 2nd drive and run update-grub to change the windows entry /00:49
OerHeks?00:49

DrumrollI would like to download updates as I install as well03:20
dr_willisDrumroll:  issues ive seen with live  usbs are that if you apt-get install kernel and drivers.. they may not get used by the live setupo03:20
dr_willisDrumroll:  a full install would let you install them however.03:20
dr_willisbut a full instal on usb.. wont let you install to other systems03:21
DrumrollOk so I should install first, then download the packages onto USB later and install them manually03:21

tripelbcfhowlett: roasted it is my fault. I said install and didn't realize that *I* had to make a swap partition. I was trying to replace an Ubuntu partition and if messed me up.03:29

=== mike is now known as Guest19437
dr_willisfresno:  im not sure anyone has  unstood anything you have said in the last half hour.03:31
tripelbcfhowlett: windows is installed. Ubuntu is not. In fact there is no longer a partition there. NT is installed. I used that to run a dell "check your hardware" way back over a week ago when I was given this old underpowered computer.03:31
tripelbI booted to that partition03:32
cfhowletttripelb, old computer?  OK.  Try this.  Stop with the ubuntu and install lubuntu or xubuntu.  Both are optimized for older and lower spec machines.03:32
folornis there a way to do that ?03:33
fresnozliunxs is good03:34
dr_willisfolorn:  do what? ive missed somthing.03:36
cfhowletttripelb, had a thought: if this machine has NT, then I assume it was configured as a server, which would explain why it defaulted to the LVM, i.e. server, partitioning scheme.  Start over, wipe all the buntu partitions, leave the windows partitions in place.03:36
Drumrollis a swap partition always necessary?03:37
DrumrollIf I understand correctly, swap partition comes into use when ram is maxed out. What if you have 16GB ? Can you go without?03:37
cfhowlettDrumroll, only if you want to be able to suspend/hibernate03:37
dr_willisDrumroll:  i got no swap on my desktop box03:38
dr_willis8gb ram.. just hope you dont run out of ram ;)03:38
zykotick9Drumroll: wap CAN be used when ram is maxed, but it's used more often to move non-used stuff out of physical memory.  with 16GB you can certainly get away without swap, but it will be slightly slower (see "/msg ubottu swap" for more details)03:38
janderson91zcan someone help me get the amd catalyst control center to open?03:39
Coded1I'm running a FX-6100 @ 3.2GHz, Vertex 3 120GB SSD, 16GB PC1600 system on 13.04.  Why is software centre so slow?  I click to install one app and it greys out the window for about 40s and remains unresponsive for another 30s.  Clicking to install subsequent packages takes even longer.03:40
dr_willistry running it as  user janderson91z ? if theres no error messages..  not a lot we can really debug.. guess you coud run the debugger    gdb on it as it runs03:40

dartosMaxx__: you are not giving us much to work with here... sorry04:46
dartosCoded1: X didn't start04:46
Maxx__Yes.  When I tried typing the wrong one, it simply highlighted the box and allowed me to re-enter the password. When I enter the right one, it goes off the login screen for a second then comes right back04:46
kunjifas: Have you checked that all is as it should be in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?  Also you can run ssh more verbosely to figure out exactly what is happening.04:47

Coded1ThePhoenix: check out "gstreamer gui" on google04:52
kunjiThePhoenix: ffmpeg, vlc, mplayer, though the later two may use ffmpeg underneath, not sure.  ffmpeg will take some learning to use correctly, but it's by far the most powerful media converter I've seen.04:52
giggazillaI was able to boot into initramfs and run some dmraid commands to see the mappers still listed under /dev04:52
ThePhoenixDidn't know vlc did converting as well as playing04:52
Coded1dartos: what command made it reboot?04:52
giggazillaPlus blkid returns the path to all the partitions I had defined previously04:52
ThePhoenixwill check out those various suggestions, thanks04:52
dartosCoded1: it just kinda did... but it was a normal reboot so...04:53
Coded1dartos: see what happens when it comes back up04:53
kunjifas: I'm not sure, I don't mess with mine, sorry I couldn't be more help.  I would recommend running the ssh daemon with -v or whatever it is for verbose, maybe -vvv?  Then it will give you a lot more output and there may be some indication in all of that of what is happening.04:53

disco-eelI havent checked why casue im lazy04:56
dartosCoded1: GTX 560Ti04:56
dartosCoded1: crysis 2 edition ;)04:56
kunjifas: That's fine, yeah, you would set it on the server side.  I don't want to accidentally lock you out of your server, but i think something like sudo service ssh stop && sudo service ssh start -v  will run both commands and then you can just connect again, you should confirm that with someone else before trying it though.  I'm not sure about the -v when calling it through upstart.04:56
Coded1dartos: do you see anything with "EE" in the error log?04:57

dartosCoded1: It's too big04:59
dartoswait I have an idea... let me try something04:59
kunjifas: Actually it should be that smooth if all is well.  ssh-server should be the package for openssh I think.  I'm not sure about the -v when running it as a daemon though, using the debug modes is probably better, this should help: http://fixunix.com/mandrake/122505-run-sshd-debugging-mode.html05:01

cfhowlettpurplerain, could be hardware or software.  Are you dualbooting?  Is it only ubuntu failing to boot?   Is there any other off-key behavior you've noticed?07:21

WhiteRookI am trying to avoid losing my current install of Win8 (dont have files to reinstall programs) but dont know whether I would be better off dual booting or using VM to run Ubuntu08:05
dysunHi all. I installed GNS3 from source doing the make/make install. i was wondering how I can figure out where the program is located08:05
kunjiWhiteRook: Yes indeed, though not using gpt if that's what your setup is.08:05
subdesignkunji, i installed yesterday latest hp driver, and have the prob so..08:06
fasdysun: most likely in that directory08:06
fasidk GNS3 though08:06
fasjust a guess08:06
opalepatrickI keep moaning about this. unity 12.10 64bit - Every boot up, the hud and launcher are behind all the startup programmes or any that I open. Have logout/in to fix. Any clues what may cause this?08:06

hillarykunji, Help me my ubuntu 12.04 messing me up. when i click libreoffice writer it opens terminal window instead08:06
kunjiWhiteRook: I like to dualboot for the better performance, but you would need to be careful doing the formatting.  A virtual machines is the most fool proof way to keep windows running as normal.08:07
fasWubi is pretty good, but kinda slow08:07
fasDual booting is pretty sure-fire08:07
* gnomefreak cant reproduce that issue hillary sorry not much help08:08
dysunfas: Is there a way to find it? It's been a while since installed the thing. If I do the apt-get install GNS3, it runs an older version f GNS3. I wanted a newer version so i compiled it all from source. If i have the apt-get install instance of GNS3 and i run gns3, it runs the older one, but if I remove it, ti'll run the one i compiled.08:08
fasIf you make a backup of win8 first you should be safe08:08
subdesignkunji, the bug you pasted, comment #10, where to find this code line?08:08
kunjifas: Wubi isn't really slow, Wubi installs are also not virtual machines.08:08
faskunji: my experience has been noticeably slower, but better than VM08:09
faswubi is sightly better at keeping win8 in tact though compared to dual booting08:09
WhiteRookI want to go ahead and repartition now just in case, any suggestions on how much space on my primary HDD to allocate for use in the event I dual boot? Including swap and any other partitions i may need, total size?08:09
fasdysun: sorry, someone else might know08:09
phoenixsampraswhat is wubi?08:09

dysunfas: ok. the question i guess is really more about where software packages go08:10
fashillary: the main site08:10
dysunfas: thanks though08:10
kunjifas: Yeah, that's what I mean, it is somewhat slower than a native install, but I find it vastly faster than in a virtual machine, but that's probably less noticeable on systems where you can devote more resources to the VM.08:10
faskunji: yup. I still prefer dual boot to Wubi though08:10

fasThere is a LOT of documentation08:11
somsiphillary: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/an-absolute-ubuntu-beginners-guide.html08:11
fasWhiteRook: you probably don't need much swap08:11
fashow big of a hdd08:11
fasand how much do you have used by win8?08:11
WhiteRook1TB08:11
WhiteRooki have 150GB used08:12
hillarysomsip, Thanks08:12
fasI'd give 8gb swap (even though it's still overkill08:12
fasThen at least 30gb for the main partition since you can afford08:12
fasBut of course, you can use as much as you want08:12
dysunfas: nvm i figured it out. /usr/local/src is where i put the source. /usr/local/bin is where the 'gns3' command is found08:12
fasPersonally I have a 512gb ssd and have it split down the middle08:13
kunjiWhiteRook: You only really need a root partition (/) and the swap partition (/swap), I would make swap the size of your RAM unless you have a lot.  / I would probably drop between 100 and 200 gigs on if my drive is that size, but you could install with as little as 5... I would use a minimum of 3008:13
WhiteRookYeah i was thinking of freeing up about 100GB as unalocated (to be divided on partitions for ubuntu, swap, and another OS)08:13
fasdysun: I figured it'd be there, but I wasn't confident. :)08:13
fasIf you're going to do a third, I would have more than 10008:14
fasYou don't want to keep on repartitioning to prevent screwing something up08:14
kunjisubdesign: You say you installed the latest driver?  Maybe put back the old one, I'm guess this new driver wasn't in the repos was it?08:14
fasWhiteRook: I mean, you don't want to keep on resizing partitions08:14
subdesignkunji, no08:14
fasI'd suggest taking at least 150gb from your win808:14
subdesigni downloaded the latest deb package08:15
fasthen split that into ubuntu and leave some unallocated for your third08:15
kunjiWhiteRook: Yeah, better not to keep resizing if you don't need to, though personally I've never had gparted screw up, it's better not to chance it.08:15
fasEasier to add unallocated to already existing partitions then resizing existing ones with data08:15
fasI've never had gparted screw up either, but yeah, it has been known to happen08:15
WhiteRookno i just plan on leaving some of the 100 as unalocated for 3rd i meant08:16
fasThat's why backing up is always a good idea08:16
fasWhiteRook: if you think 100 is enough for two whole OSs.08:16
fasYou Do have a 1tb drive. ;)08:16
fasUp to you of course. 100 will be fine for 2 *nix OSs08:16
kunjiWhiteRook: A heads up, windows likes to complain when it gets resized and will insist on checking the filesystem, sometimes it gets in a bad sort of loop where it checks it on every boot, so try really hard to not resize the windows partition08:16
kunjiMmk... I need to sleep, only 2 hours last night and it's 3:18 A.M. where I am.08:18
fasThanks for earlier kunji08:18
fasah balls08:18
WhiteRookIf i were to free up 500GB as unalocated, once I format a partition for ubuntu, would i have issues adding some of the unalocated remaining space to windows parittion if needed? the partitions have to be adjacent dont they?08:18
fasWhiteRook: probabl not too much of a problem, but windows does complain a bit when resized either direction08:19
fasJust make sure to back up win8 before doing anything08:19
WhiteRookhaha yeah08:19

l057c0d3rbut i have to say... im rather happy with the outcome11:30
l057c0d3rstarted with a base lubuntu system..  installed gnome..  changed session to gnome/openbox.  and then run cairo-dock to replace gnome's taskbars ext..  yet keep the gnome classic application menu :-)  and i'm very happy with this setup11:31

icerootinhies: there is nothing special to do11:36
icerootinhies: its all provided in the source-package which will tell if it is "all" or not, if it is not all, the buildsystem will create the amd64 and i386 version11:36

Aknot<l057c0d3r that looks wonderful, if i install latest ubuntu then gnome how can i get it to look like that?11:50
l057c0d3ri started off by installing lubuntu..  then from there installed gnome and cairo-dock.11:50

roastedQuestion - when working with mdadm, is it bad practice to have a file system on your hard drives before adding them to the raid array? I had ext4 on both of my drives before mirroring them, but they seem to work fine (in fact I'm not even sure I set them as a raid f0 or whatever prior, but still the array is running now)11:51
l057c0d3rafter that..  you will have to make cairo-dock autostart with that session..  but for first time to get the cairo-dock to show up...  press ctl-alt-t and type cairo-dock &11:51
Aknot<l057c0d3r do i also need openbox?11:52
l057c0d3ropenbox comes with lubuntu....  since its an lxde/openbox session by default11:53
l057c0d3ri believe if you are using ubuntu instead of lubuntu.. you can just install gnome and cairo-dock.. and from the session menu there should be a cario-dock/gnome session as well11:53
CyLHi, I'm readind online about setting up a ubuntu box (12.04 LTS) as a LAMP server, and there is this article on how to do it using tasksel, however it is outdated (written for 10.04). I'd like to know if this is still a safe and easy approach.11:54
l057c0d3rmy main reason for using gnome over lxde for this setup.. was the fact the gnome menu is better....  just works better then the lxde menu...11:54

judgenSorry to ask what might be a stupid question. I know that Unity depends on gnome bits and pieces. But what parts of unity warrants the dependency of Qt?11:58
judgenDo not get me wrong, i do not mind having Qt, quite the opposite. But why can not the entirety of unity been done in one toolkit?11:59
FlowRiserjudgen, kde is done in qt; Whereas unity+compiz support qt, but don't actually depend on it.12:00
nep1xhi buddies! which is for you a good RSS/Atom reader for ubuntu?12:00
FlowRiserjudgen, if you want a Qt Desktop, get kubuntu12:00
judgennep1x: but if you install unity package it also pulls in Qt?12:00
FlowRiserjudgen, what distro do you have ?12:01
judgenprecise12:01
FlowRiserjudgen, might be it does so for the unity-2d which is done in Qt12:01
opalepatrickanyone else see unity dash and launcher under/behind startup programmes etc? Need to logout and back to get it to act normally12:01
FlowRiserit is unsupported as of 12.1012:01
judgenso it is all gtk now?12:01
FlowRiserjudgen, i'm not sure actually, might be so, but i hear they are looking into something else :D12:02
kostkonjudgen, it isn't realistic to expect the whole desktop to be written in one toolkit. Anyway, it's just the qt deps you have on your system and not the KDE ones. There are a lot of qt apps. Just try to avoid installing KDE apps, there aren't many anyway, and you should be fine?12:04
kostkonjudgen, e.g. the U1 client is a qt app.12:04

jimmy_loI use ubuntu 11.04, I am building webkit, but it shows the messag: configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.4.0) were not met: Requested 'gtk+-3.0 >= 3.4.0' but version of GTK+ is 3.0.8. I use "sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev", but it tells me that libgtk-3-dev is already the newest version.12:06
ThinkT510jimmy_lo: 11.04 is no longer supported12:06
jimmy_loSo I have to manually download and build it12:07
Ben64no, you need to upgrade12:07
ThinkT510jimmy_lo: to get support you need to be using a supported release12:07
jribjimmy_lo: no, you should upgrade your ubuntu version to a supported one (12.04 or 12.10)12:07
jimmy_loYou mean upgrade ubuntu to 11.10 or higher12:08
jimmy_lo12.0412:08
Ben64support for 11.04 ended in October 2012, so you haven't gotten any security updates since then12:08
jribjimmy_lo: yes, though 11.10 will only have support until april, so I'd suggest going to at least 12.04 at this point12:08
jimmy_loOMG, I didn't notice that12:08
bilelHi, I've installed ubuntu last week and I can't get windows + ubuntu to be bootable on my machine, on the first install, it defaulted to windows, I've then run boot repair, this time grub screen was there, but windows not bootable (only ubuntu) because of "secure boot", I've disabled it from BIOS, and ran boot repair again, and now it defaults to windows again, I don't see grub screen, what...12:08
bilel...can I do?12:08
Ben64if you don't like updating, go to 12.04, you only need to upgrade every 2 years with LTS12:08
ThinkT510jimmy_lo: the support schedules are clear12:08
jimmy_loOK, thank you all12:09
jimmy_loWait a minute, so that's why it tells me that libgtk-3-dev is already the newest version.12:10
jimmy_loso apt-get won't get anything new?12:11
ThinkT510jimmy_lo: 11.04 is from april 2011, it was likely the newest back then, the repos obviously have older software if you are using an older release12:11

erupterHi. Problem: I need to give two users write access to a folder on a machine, and have it propagated via NFS. Currently the original owner of the folder obviously has write access. The other user, has correctly mounted the NFS but has only read access.12:54
heshanhbecause even after i kill apache2 i can still view localhost12:54
k1l_compdoc: that is mentioned in the wiki articles. but recommended is to go to an supported release anyway12:54
fidelheshanh: you might start with: apt-cache policy apache2 - which will tell you the installed version via apt & the available in apt12:54
erupterI tried following some tutorials about adding users to groups and changing properties, but so far I only managed to eliminate read access not grant write access to the other user.12:54

ggherdovHi all. a couple of questions: (1) what is the Desktop Environment closest to Gnome 2 I can have on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ? (2) What is the cleanest way to unstall Unity and replace it with said desktop environment?14:02
ThinkT510ggherdov: xfce is great, don't remove unity14:02
ThinkT510ggherdov: also gnome3 has a fallback mode14:03
mahem1#kabbadi-in-canada14:04
ggherdovThinkT510: xfce isn't close enough to Gnome 2 for me. What I need more than everything is the upper panel, with system monitors for RAM, network, disk, system load. And Unity cannot run on my system: it's a virtualbox with very limited RAM and no graphic acceleration14:04
shadow98http://pastebin.com/tKqBTi2d14:05
nuxninjaggherdov14:05
ggherdovnuxninja: yes14:05
nuxninjasudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback14:05
ThinkT510ggherdov: i'm saying don't remove unity if it is already installed, it will leave a mess, i'm not saying you must use unity14:05
Ben64ggherdov: gnome fallback mode then, install gnome-panel and it should bring in everything you need for it14:05
ggherdovThinkT510: understood. nuxninja , Ben64: thanks14:06
ThinkT510ggherdov: there are good plugins for xfce panels too14:06
Ben64not good enough, i wanted the same as ggherdov14:06
ggherdovThinkT510: will check that, thankyou for the heads up14:06
Ben64theres no other panel that matches the cpu and ram system monitors14:07

jim8888yep just tried the built in ubuntu disk / partition managers but no joy...16:00
roastedcompdoc: so it matters where the partition STARTS, not ends?16:00
UbuntuNewbietry gparted16:00
compdocroasted, if you use a modern program like gparted to create the parttion, it will be correct16:00
zykotick9roasted: i didn't actually think alignment was such a big issue with HDs (though it was more a SSD issue?) but i could be wrong.  you might want to consult http://wiki.debian.org/SSDoptimization which discusses alignment and links to some youtube video explaining it.16:01
roastedcompdoc: I ask this because I'm setting up a software array. I want to set my drives to have 100MB remaining. I was messing with gdisk and it asks me at the beginning where I want to start. So I select accordingly. But when it asks about ending, I have NO idea. I wasn't sure if the entire drive should be in specific intervals or what.16:01
compdocroasted, I dont think it matters where it ends, but it might matter where 2nd or 3rd partitions on the same drive start16:01
compdocI always use one large partition16:01
roastedperhaps I should stop with this CLI obsession and just use GParted. :/16:01
compdocgparted is best16:02
roastedthe documentation of a lot of these CLI tools is often half baked, whereas GParted is just kind of an instant winner.16:02

karu_where16:12
karu_I'm new to this16:12
roastedas far as I know Intel's GPU drivers are open sourced, and therefore included within Linux without the need of going to Additional Drivers... whcih is normally the place to go for non-open source drivers, like Nvidia, AMD, etc....16:12
lemos_it's a app16:12

karu_My friends tell me it's in the kernel16:13
lemos_and search16:13
karu_but it keeps booting to black screen16:13
roastedAdditional Drivers is its own application within Ubuntu, outside of the software center.16:13
igneroushow to customize the clock applet in ubuntu 12.1016:13
karu_unless I put in "nomodeset"16:13
roastedkaru_: yes, Intel drivers are open source. Open source software is oten included into Linux (the kernel) by default.16:13
lemos_all the people here,is using the Ubuntu ?16:14
karu_Dunno what's going on16:14
roastedkaru_: in short: There is, as far as I know, no reason to look for external drivers for Intel GPU's because they're already included by default.16:14
karu_Then why does it boot to a black screen16:14
roastedkaru_: it booting to a black screen doesn't mean you don't have the driver, it just means there's an issue somewhere... maybe a bug? It's hard to say.16:14
roastedkaru_: but you have the driver installed because you have the kernel installed because the kernel is part of the entire Linux system.....16:15
roastedkaru_: so there are no additional drivers to get with the Intel GPU you have.16:15
karu_Well it says I'm using some veza graphics driver16:15
roastedI'm not sure. I've never had an issue with Intel so I can't really comment too much further. I just know you won't find any Intel drivers within Ubuntu Software Center or Additional Drivers.16:15

nanashiReio/ everyone. Quite new to using a non windows system for work and i've googled my fingers bleeding. Is there a way to really disable the password prompt or increase the cache time?18:01
nanashiReitbh, it's worth then back in Vista days :(18:01
jribnanashiRei: yes, but what are you doing that requires you to enter the password so often?  It seems unusual18:01
nanashiReiJust the fact that i do have to enter it again after login into my account which is not automatic makes it a hassle in my eyes.18:02
jribnanashiRei: well again, what are you doing that you're being asked for a password?18:03
nanashiReiAnd and i'm a fan ob shell scripts that i can click to enable and disable my development environment, so these require a password. I got rid of the shell prompt with the usual NOPASSWD: sudo thing18:04
nanashiReiAnd i kinda answesered the question you ask with the fact that i'm new to this kind of environment. So i am trying all kinds of software packages18:05
nanashiReiand ... there is 5 Minutes, ofc, between installs.18:05
nanashiReiIt's interrupting my workflow pretty badly :<18:05
nanashiReii see how disabling woud be a security risk if i had ssh installed or someone would ever gain access to that notebook, but that's not going to happen since it's mounted to my desktop :x18:07
jribnanashiRei: you can keep a terminal around with "sudo -i", that will give a you shell where you can install things and such.  You can disable the password altogether with NOPASSWD in sudoers as you mention, but I wouldn't advise it. You could also increase the cache time... IMO you'll run out of things to install soon enough :)18:07

nanashiReiIn general i don't even make use of sudo.18:11
nanashiReiother than elevating me to root with it.18:12
Zeidso i cant see whats going on!!18:12
nanashiReiZeid, finish the installation. And don't use hardware from 1999 :D18:12
nanashiReij/k after installation there is non-opensource drivers at your disposal18:13
jribnanashiRei: that's fine.  You can do that if you are in the situation where you need to do a series of things as superuser (with "sudo -i").18:13

threex5Hi could someone explain to me why my clipboard is so unreliable? It seems like when I copy something, image or text, It doesn't replace what's already in the clipboard half the time and I have to copy it 2 or 3 times to make it work.18:25
=== jeremy_ is now known as Guest3920

threex5I mean I assume if ubuntu can copy/paste, there's a built in clipboard manager by default. Should I remove that?18:28
=== root is now known as Guest68686
jribthreex5: nah, the apps are responsible for what's in the clipboard, that's why if you copy something, close the app, then try to paste somewhere else, you won't get anything18:29
jribthreex5: parcellite does some nice things.  You can sync your two clipboards, you can make actions, you get a history.  It's probably worth it if you use your clipboard a lot18:30
threex5ok i'll try parcellite. do you think it's nicer than glipper?18:30
jribthreex5: I don't know.  Try both in turn and see which you like18:30
kanikiluthreex5: not sure if it applies, but when I copy some text (for example), then before pasting, do something like click-and-drag a file in nautilus to move it, the previous copied text is gone18:30

setienti am awesome.22:21
flintsernwp: actually i'd really like a raspberry pi for that use... small, quiet, reasonably priced, dunno about reliability though.22:23
nwpflintser: although if you have any other suggestions for something that meets that description that doesn't involve Apple, I'm all ears. I have yet to see it though. Pi not fast enough.22:23

DrGrovGood evening everyone. I am having some weird issues on 12.04. I am running Google Chrome and watched some web content via Flash and I get thrown out to the login screen once in a while. Has happened now for 1 time / day for the past few days. Any ideas what might be causing it?22:24

trembyhi. i've got my friend to try out Ubuntu. he has a PDF which needs javascript and Evince can't do that. i tried on acroread on my own machine and it works, so i'm trying to take him through installing it with software center. it won't show up in searches, so i've made sure he has switched on "Canonical Partners". on mine it appears, on his it still does not. i can't find how to force an apt-get update through software centre. any idea?22:24
DrGrovCould it be connected with my xorg.conf configuration and nVidia GPU? I forced 1920x1080 resolution as a modeline in xorg.conf and have not had any issues until now this past week.22:25
jribtremby: do you know the package name?22:25
trembyjrib: yes, it's acroread22:25

trembyjrib: ah but on my other machine i get http://sprunge.us/aCaL22:28
trembyjrib: no, the whole point is that i don't want him to see the command line. i want to do this with software center22:28
DrGrovBrb22:28
trembyotherwise i'd just install it with apt-get for him22:28
jribtremby: just to debug the issue22:28
WBFHello everyone! I have a problem with network manager. I tried to install a network driver but it isn't working and when I say modprobe -l it doesn't list the module I Installed.22:29
jribtremby: instead of apt-get update, you can use refresh or whatever it is in software center22:29
nwpflintser: as I said, can't get it yet but may be an option soon. still hd4000 graphics though, so want to know whether people are having good results with them at all, not just on mini 6,1/6,222:29

trembyso my second sprunge above22:30
jribtremby: so you don't see acroread in software center?22:31
trembynope22:31
jribtremby: how about in synaptic?22:31
jbwivwindows 8 has a nice view in Task Manager where you can see a process's resource usage over time. Makes it easy to see what is abusing resources at certain points...not necessarily just at the moment (like top or the regular Task Manager does). Are there any utilities like this for linux? one that I can run and check back on in an hour and see what processes were most impactful over that time? tia22:31
trembyflintser: doesn't look like it22:31
jribtremby: I think software-center doesn't show certain packages for whatever reason22:31
trembyjrib: thing is, on my laptop i do see it22:31
jribtremby: could be because it is already installed22:32
trembyand see in the output of the command you gave me the 500 messages22:32
tremby500 is a server error22:32
jribtremby: you mean in your paste?22:32
trembyi've uninstalled it on my laptop and it does still appear in software centre22:32
trembyyes i mean in the paste22:32
jribtremby: that's normal, that's the priority22:32
DrGrovIs there any troubleshooting I can do for this Google Chrome issue?22:32
thinklinuxhello22:32
trembyoh, i thought it was an error code22:32
trembyok22:32
trembyi've 99% sure it's just because apt-get update hasn't run22:33
trembyhow do i tell software center to do that?22:33
trembyor does that apt-cache policy line tell you that's not the issue22:33
flintsernwp: now that i look at it i might buy intense-pc for home media center + running irssi and ftp servers22:34
PingITHi just got a fast question here, i can se my wtmp gets a little big, wood it be safe to ln -s /dev/null /var/log/wtmp the file?22:34

thinklinuxanyone ever experienced this, was surfing the web and suddenly shows a black screen (in fullscreen) with a bunch of text scrolling down really fast...had to end up a doing a hard reboot..(ubuntu 12.10)22:34
jribtremby: correct, but if you want to you can go to software-sources in the edit menu and probably just toggle something22:35
chaos_plaguemy terminal window only shows messages in the currect screen it clears any messages that i must scroll up to see is there a way to change that?22:35
JosthynPoweralguien habla español22:35
trembyjrib: i've tried that, toggled various sources off and on and i never get an offer to update and it still isn't showing in searches22:35
jribtremby: does it show up in synaptic ok?22:35
trembybut i do aptitude search acroread and there it is22:35
trembyi didn't install synaptic yet, i'll do that now22:36
thoonaikunji: yuo are great.22:36
WBFthinklinux: was there 2 penguins? an ubuntu symbol? what was there on the top of the screen? the only time I experince that is when I boot my custom linux pc.22:36
jribtremby: not every package is displayed in software-center I think (like dev libraries).  I don't know too much about that22:36
thoonaikunji: thx. I somehow overread the --format tiif flag22:36
flintsertremby why dont you want to use terminal22:37
WBFI'm having an issue too: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1594755/22:37
trembyjrib: like i said, it is now displayed even though it is not installed on my laptop22:37
jribtremby: but it was once installed22:37
flintseri can see acroread too22:37
flintsernever used22:37
WBFand at the end it says invalid module format.22:37
trembyflintser: because i want my friend who is trying out ubuntu for the first time to never see the command line if at all possible, which it ought to be22:37
flintserhe's going to see it eventually :)22:38
chaos_plagueexit22:39
trembyjrib: ok, in synaptic it appears22:39
trembythen i closed software centre and opened it again and now it appears in software centre22:39
trembymaybe synaptic forced an update22:39
trembyapt-cache policy line is identical22:39
jribtremby: weird22:40
flintserbut you can install acroreader now?22:40
trembyit appears in the software center so i assume so. it's totally retarded that it wasn't showing up before. i think it must be a bug, it's not updating after sources are changed22:41
trembyanother retarded thing is that if i search "adobe reader" it doesn't appear in the results, but i search "acroread" and it does, even though its title is "Adobe Reader"22:41

zathras_laptopany ideas how i can fix that? i sort of need mod-wsgi22:43

jribzathras_laptop: sudo apt-get update, then try again.  If it still fails, pastebin « apt-cache policy libapache2-mod-wsgi libpython2.7 »22:43

Triupsiceroot, thats the weird thing...I reboot and you flip the coin.  When it loads up as rename3 it has to do the 60second timeout during booting23:10
WBFDoomhammer: mine is a 8192CU driver23:10
BluPhenix316iceroot: i understand that but 30 minutes to a hour is a long time, i am running a i7, quadcore with hyperthreading and 8gigs of ram, and its never taken longer than a minute23:11
BluPhenix316i tried update-initramfs -u -v and it gets to this line: Adding module /lib/modules/3.5.0-23-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko23:11
BluPhenix316 and just stalls there23:11
flintserDoomhammer: does it even recognize your card?23:11
Triupsiceroot, the p33p* and rename* do not show up there23:11
Triupsiceroot, Ill try manually entering them23:12
icerootTriups: there should be something like SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="24:b6:fd:fc:97:5f", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"23:13
Triupsiceroot, there is a bunch of them to match the nics.  but the nics p33p1, p33p2 do not show up there23:13
icerootTriups: what should that be? vmware? xen?23:13
icerootTriups: are you using something like that?23:14
Doomhammerflintser: yeah, it shows up in ifconfig, and networkmanager tries to get a dhcp lease23:14
Triupsnope...I read thats how linux now names nics.  based on pci slot and port23:14
Doomhammerit "appears" to work, except i never get an ip address23:14
Triupsiceroot, supposedly p33p1 means pci 33 port 123:14
icerootTriups: ah ok23:15
flintserDoomhammer: can you use static ip?23:15
Doomhammerflintser: i tried that, still doesn't work23:15
Triupsiceroot, the problem comes that it doesn't always rename the nic properly to p33p223:16
Triupsiceroot, the file you mentioned does not mention anythign about these nics and sounds like it is auto-generated...has me a bit worried on how to rename the KERNEL parameter specifically23:16
flintserDoomhammer: so you can't get any connection? do you use a router or what?23:17
icerootTriups: i would just create a new line and replace the mac address and a name you want for it23:17
Doomhammerflintser: uh, i'm at an office, i really don't know what they have going on23:17
Doomhammerflintser: i verified that plugging a different pc in with the same port/cable gets a dhcp lease just fine, though23:18
Triupsiceroot, but the kernel parameter...what do I set that to?  the examples show "eth*" but I don't think this nic ever starts out as eth*23:18
flintserDoomhammer: problem might exist on the other end23:19
icerootTriups: you can even put "foobar" in it23:19
icerootTriups: its just a string23:19
icerootTriups: which is related to the mac address23:19
icerootTriups: imo23:19
icerootTriups: so eth1 for example would be fine23:19
flintsercheck your gateway on the other computer and try ro ping that?23:20
flintseri mean check the gw and then plug ubuntu back in and try pinging23:20
Triupsiceroot, I was thinking that string meant what the kernel was calling it and name is what you set it to....Ill try it out23:22
Doomhammerflintser: check the gateway in what way? other machines have an internet connection so the gateway is working apparently23:22
BluPhenix316iceroot: i found out what is causing update-initramfs to hang, but not sure how to fix it23:22
icerootTriups: that string is telling the kernel how to name it23:23
BluPhenix316iceroot: update-initramfs hangs when doing modprobe --set-version=3.5.0-23-generic --ignore-install --quiet --show-depends i91523:23
icerootTriups: so the name "eth0" comes from that file and the kernel is using that name then23:23
icerootTriups: the kernel does not use eth0 before23:23
icerootTriups: the kernel is asking udev what name should be used, so udev is generating that wil23:23
icerootTriups: and you can call it "myfunnynic0" for example23:23
flintserDoomhammer: gateway ip address. if theyre windows 7 go to network and sharing center -> change adapter settings -> right click your connection -> status -> details23:24

icerootBluPhenix316: but the kubuntu-desktop package is not the reason for the kernel-update23:33
BluPhenix316yeah but i've rebooted since the kernel update23:33
icerootBluPhenix316: i would cancel the upgrade and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" after that i would have a look if "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc" is holding any packagenames, if not i would reboot23:34

mojtabaHi, I have ubuntu 12.10 and would like to install Nadia Cinnamon on it. Does anybody know what should I do? Is it possible?23:45
k1l_!mint | mojtaba23:46
ubottumojtaba: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org23:46
k1l_mojtaba: that belongs to their support. so please ask the mint guys.23:47
=== k1l_ is now known as k1l
=== linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish`
BluPhenix316iceroot: i'm debating on going back to 12.04 though23:50
BluPhenix316iceroot: only reason i went with 12.10 is because this is a uefi system, and 12.10's installer had fixed a lot of issues 12.04 had with uefi23:50
kunjidorohoro: what is existing that you don't want to delete?23:50
WBFcan someone help me? my 8192CU drivers aren't working. MORE DETAIL: It's a netgear that isn't working in ubuntu even with modprobe because modprobe comes up with an error on my custom linux box.23:50
kunjiWBF: Custom linux box?  This is the Ubuntu support channel.23:50
WBFkunji:  it is running ubuntu23:50
WBFkunji: it is called custom because it's running on ARMHF23:50
kunjiWBF: Ah, ok, sounded like you were doing linux from scratch or something23:50
dorohorooriginal folder Music from home folder23:51
dorohoroso icons stay same23:51
dorohoroetc23:51
WBFmojtaba: say sudo apt-get install cinnamon or sudo apt-get install  lxde for a lightweight desktop like mint :D23:52
dorohorojust to make him poin on some other folder23:52
mojtabaWBF: Thanks23:52
kunjidorohoro: oh, hmm I think the only difference between Music and other folders is the icon, I'm not sure how that icon is assigned.23:53
dorohorocan i somehow mount folder on folder or something like that23:54
dorohoroi did this once in windows wista when i had it23:54
mojtabaWhy ubuntu is better than mint?23:55
WBFmojtaba: their kind of equal; as in they have most of the same packages. it's your choice but I am trying to guide you.23:57
kunjidorohoro: I think the icon might not be a property of the folder, that is, I think it is handled purely in the outside apps, like nautilus, so I think just deleting Music and creating a symlink should do what you want, but there is a small chance it won't.  Maybe just move Music, (mv Music MusicBackup) and then create the symlink, so you can delete the symlink and put back music if it doesn't work the way you hoped.23:57
phoenixsamprashellow!23:58
dorohorook th23:58
dorohoroi will try something23:58
kunjidorohoro: Or actually I can try it out, I'm not picky about the icon so it's fine if it breaks it for me and I can let you know23:59
