[00:00] the stick is probably mounted where root has rights. not users [00:00] How do I run gksu nautilus [00:00] Gumby, yeah with the new sshd_config file it runs fine [00:00] nicekiwi: get the ssh server working first, then worry about locking it dow [00:00] n [00:00] dr_willis: Yes! You are. [00:00] user___: alt+f2, then type it in. or you type that into your terminal [00:00] type it in a terminal user___ [00:01] nicekiwi: check /var/log/syslog for errors after replacing the edited sshd_config and restarting ssh [00:01] Physicist: great. do i get paid? [00:01] That gave me full access. [00:02] user___: close that nautilus window when done... it can be dangerous....

[00:05] ftruzzi: best to use a light desktop with vnc. unity will have issues and be slow [00:05] bel3atar: pae is default in 12.10+ [00:05] dr_willis: the problem is that NOTHING is displayed [00:05] ftruzzi: which vnc sever? [00:06] Gumby, there are some messages there, but non relating to SSH [00:06] nicekiwi: after re-starting ssh with the custom config? [00:06] okay, i've got 12.04 lubuntu running, having issues with flash / chromium but that's not unique [00:06] I wan't to assist a friend maybe via VNC, but she's firewalled. Any easy trick to solve this? [00:06] dr_willis: vncserver4 idk if it has a something under it [00:06] Gumby, with the old one, ssh wont start [00:07] however, someone suggested that the video driver might be part of the problem [00:07] with the new installed one, it runs file [00:07] ftruzzi: you edited the. vnc/xstartup to run what you want? [00:07] nicekiwi: exactly. check the logs to see why :) [00:07] quick q, anyone know of a better pdf read than xpdf [00:07] dr_willis: the problem is the xstartup config, there is no working setup on the internet, I tryed from classic gnome to unity , nothing works [00:07] .vnc/xstartup [00:08] nicekiwi: or, stop ssh (service ssh stop) then put your custom config in, and start ssh by doing /usr/bin/sshd hopefully that will show something on the screen as to why it wont start [00:08] Gumby, yeah I did. but theres nothing relating to ssh there asfar as i can see [00:08] k [00:08] ftruzzi: just have it run xterm & and a minimal window manager as a test [00:08] bbl [00:08] going to try puppylinux [00:08] eww [00:08] ;-) [00:08] well, can't get *ntu to work [00:09] genoobie: what cpu? [00:09] at least not well and puppy linux has a version that can use untu packages [00:09] PIII 800 [00:09] Gumby, hmm maybe they were related.. ssh: Could not resolve hostname restart: Name or service not known [00:09] theres a puppy for legacy hardware.. [00:10] dr_willis, you mean wary? [00:10] its not the ubuntu varant [00:10] dr_willis: it opens a xterm, as expected but launch everything from xstartup or from xterm is pain in the ass [00:11] ftruzzi: now have it just run the term.. exec xterm with no wm. then try the other desktops [00:11] nicekiwi: that isnt always a fatal error. [00:11] start them from the xterm.. looking for error messages [00:12] dr_willis: i siad the xterm is working, but i want a wm [00:12] Gumby, true.. [00:12] nicekiwi: I suggest replacing the unmodified config and then begin working on fixing the modified one. Something you have changed in it is not corrrect [00:12] so launch one.. [00:13] Gumby, yeah :/ but what [00:14] lol... buffering [00:15] guys, Im having a problem [00:15] itatitat: format that pc and it's gonna be alright [00:15] I need to see a file, in a folder .ssh, hidden, but from the user jenkins, I cannot see with my normal user, is in local [00:15] Gumby, weirdly it seems to be working now with the modified config [00:15] XD [00:15] nicekiwi: hrm [00:15] did you restart ssh?

I'm not an ssh expert. check if the same error shows if you log in locally via the VPS web console [00:20] itatitat: try ls -l to check permissions on the folder [00:20] itatitat: But it is more-than-likely a directory. So: ls .ssh/ [00:21] Gumby, nvm. removed the custom script. no error now [00:21] jum............I made sudo ls -a .ssh/ [00:21] but in the result I dont see anything [00:21] itatitat: boot with a live cd and you will be able to access all the files [00:21] XD [00:21] itatitat: Yes. You see? It is a directory. [00:22] itatitat: is it empty? [00:22] yes, I know is a folder [00:22] but I think is empty because I havent permissions [00:22] ls -al ? [00:22] itatitat: Ok.

[01:12] dr_willis, u use ati display? or nvidia?

[02:09] jrib: the other OS is Backtrack 5 R3.. not sure which grub they use [02:09] valve can only open the doors, users have to walk through. ATI/nvidia will only make drivers with demand. e.g. if valve's settop box succeeds [02:09] chadster1975: well, you can get rid of the backtrack partition and if you have trouble booting, just follow ubottu's directions on restoring grub after windows [02:09] !grub | chadster1975 [02:09] chadster1975: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[02:12] This is what I have to do now since I have an older GPU. http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/ My question is will I have to do this again in 13.04 [02:13] ok. so first order of business in removing bactrack is to use gpart to remove the partition and then resize the ubuntu partition to take up the whole drive? [02:14] the help files for grub assume grub is lost or damaged, so thats for after i change partition stuff right? [02:16] chadster1975: you'll only need that if you currently have backtrack's grub handling your boot [02:17] jrib: so dont worry about the grub stuff if i use gpart to remove the whole partition right? [02:17] hows it going yall? [02:17] whole backtrack partition, not the ubuntu one. [02:20] dedpends on which os is handling grub. ;) [02:20] boot to ubuntu and have it reinstall grub.. to be sure ubuntu is the os thats got controll of grub.

I have a gts 450 card and an integrated intel card :) [02:33] civixier: gimme a sec, see if i can figure out whats up [02:35] seyfarth: I really appreciate it. I try my best to figure it out, but this seems to be as far as I can get.

[02:38] <_helios_> dr_willis: so it will start preloading files next boot up. [02:38] it has to generate a profile of whats going on so it will know what to preload. [02:39] nothing to worry about. ;) [02:40] Just installed 12.04... first LInux and IRC in years... hope it is like riding a bike [02:41] Lots of google hits on this error, but all point to installing linux-headers, which I have installed. Not sure what I'm missing. [02:41] <_helios_> bob__: it's easier than riding a bike the first time in my opinion, a heck of allot easier than it use to be. [02:41] bikes still don't have a graphical user interface [02:41] nor a package management system.

[02:47] I put 10.04 on an old dell desktop.. and just put 12.04 on a Dell (still old) Latitude 620 and it seems to be handling the load. [02:47] chadster1975: unmount any partions you want to alter first [02:48] <_helios_> bob__: You could put Xubuntu which is basicaly still Ubuntu just uses the Xfce desktop enviroment instead of Unity/Gnome I run Xubuntu 12.1064bit on my older desktop and 12.1064bit Unity on my laptop. [02:48] chadster1975: you may need to do sudo swapoff also [02:48] Not sensing my Broadcom 4311 Wireless though.. and when I added the driver.. it killed the kernel.. [02:48] when i use "sudo umount /dev/sbd6" or any other sdb# it says "not mounted" [02:49] yse the mount command to see whats mounted [02:50] <_helios_> bob__: You could probably use ndiswrapper but I would just suggest purchasing a new wifi card that has native linux drivers for it because it will save you allot of hassle. [02:51] Laptop.. and a Dell 620... not sure what I am going to do.. yet.. sort of locked into it.. have not heard of ndiswrapper.. so I will look at that... so much to learn again [02:51] dr_willis: there is a lot there, but device-wise i only see /dev/sdc1...and i think thats the ubuntu live usb, right? [02:51] I have a question about unity restoration. I had a problem with unity yesterday morning. following some nefarious forum posts I uninstalled it. Now I can't boot because when I try, I get a popup that I am in low graphics mode and it just sits there. Is there a way to restore unity using a boot disk? [02:51] Well , wife is calling .. been a pleasure helios.. thx [02:52] I will be back later [02:52] chadster1975: no idea. sudo blkid may give a clue [02:54] <_helios_> dasgud: You should beable to restore using the Live CD/USB [02:54] dr_willis: i have two /dev/loop then sdb1, 5,6,and 7. weird they dont show up under mount. maybe i switched the "d" and the "b" in sdb.. ill try again [02:55] hi ppl [02:55] <_helios_> nearst: hello [02:57] <_helios_> Ok one more question for the night, How are some people on this server getting there host to say freebsd/user/blah or user/unaffiliated [02:57] <_helios_> I know that it could be a virtual host but I've never seen a vhost in that format. [02:57] c0re [02:57] can someone help me with an issue im having [02:57] im new to ubuntu :$ [02:58] @ helio Thank you for answering. When I try I don't get an option to restore, only to format and clean install, install alongside or change partitions. nothing about restoring [02:58] _helios_, u can apply for user/anaffiliated at #freenode [02:59] <_helios_> nearst: thanks [02:59] _helios_, just ask for the staff and request for it :) [03:00] <_helios_> dasgud: I'm not an expert by any means but what you should try to do is boot from a Live CD, backup all important files you can on the drive and then just do a fresh install, Unfortunetaly that's all I would know how to do I'm still a half newb [03:00] before i installed ubuntu i copied some documents to my phone internal storage. now im trying to copy back simple pdf and .doc files and its not copying the files saying that they are not supported. [03:00] right helios. thanks again. I have that planned too. that would be part two of my question === BlueFall is now known as Fanatic [03:02] <_helios_> dasgud: To backup your data just boot from the Live CD and use the Try Ubuntu option when the desktop loads that's when you can read the drive and get your important data off it via external HD or flash drives. [03:02] and i tried to look info online but couldnt find anything. ! [03:03] I have copied my whole ~/ folder to a hard drive. I'm just wondering if there is anything I should copy still. [03:04] dr_willis: i was able to delete the old partition but only by using the swapoff command in the menu of gparted and not by using "sudo swapoff -a" in terminal. odd, but at least it worked [03:05] i mentioned swapoff earlier..... ;-) [03:06] live cd auto enabled the seen swap partition [03:06] dr_willis: you totally called it, just weird the swapoff command didnt work from terminal and only from inside gparted. usually command line is the most solid. [03:09] Hi! I am on 12.10 Quantal and my browsers not able to play youtube - no audio [03:11] Does anyone know if there is an app for saving my window positions? I'm a dev and I like to have my browser open and sized with a couple other terminals opened and sized and positioned.

[03:13] pci [03:13] Tex_Nick : Yeah! firefox and chrome [03:14] Tex_Nick : there are 2 sound card on my PC [03:14] what type [03:14] Tex_Nick : pulse audio gets hooked on to the motherboard audio [03:14] broadcom BCM4322 [03:15] Ramsrambo: ah ok ... you prefer to use the pereferal audio card ? [03:15] Tex_Nick : there is also a SBX usb card which is on ALSA [03:15] try with jockey? sudo jockey-gtk [03:15] Ramsrambo: not sure if this applies to situations using pulse, but with firefox - i can ONLY get sound out of first sound devices listed in /proc/asound/cards (hope this info is helpful, i'm not sure it is) [03:16] nearst: don't know anything about jockey. I'll do some reading. [03:16] Tex_Nick : what I need to change to make it play in my USB card ? [03:16] after partitioning and resizing ubuntu partition im getting "grub rescue>" is there a fix for this or should i reinstall? [03:16] Ramsrambo: if you don't use the motherboard audio ... i would first disable it in BIOS [03:17] Silverfox, http://askubuntu.com/questions/218986/how-to-fix-a-broadcom-43224-rev-01-in-ubuntu-12-10-running-on-a-macbook-pro [03:17] Tex_Nick : not sure if I can do that - I do not think there is an option in BIOS to do that [03:18] Ramsrambo: what MoBo are you using ... or what PC make and model [03:18] Tex_Nick : this motherboard is old intel 865gbf so the BIOS will not have that option [03:19] full error is "error: no such partition" then "grub rescue>" [03:19] nearst: think it makes any difference that I'm on a Dell laptop here? [03:19] Dell E6400 [03:19] chadster1975: what exactly did you change [03:19] Tex_Nick : in /proc/asound there are two directories card0 and card1 [03:20] Tex_Nick : anyway to blacklist or something like that [03:20] Ben64: had ubuntu 12.10 and Backtrack 5 R3 dual boot. used gparted to delete backtrack partition [03:20] I see the module loaded in lsmod, but iwconfig shows no interfaces. I'm thinking I need to tell the module to look for wlan0 or something. Just not sure where. [03:21] Tex_Nick : when I click on audio ICON it crashes so I cannot change anything there [03:21] nearst: thats basically what I'm doing. I am compiling my own module, however, because broadcom has released a fix for the driver that caused several channels to not be visible. [03:22] Ramsrambo: i'm i'm looking for a solution [03:22] Tex_Nick : I am here and waiting [03:23] Silverfox, im not too sure about that channels issue :( [03:23] chadster1975: did you have backtrack installed first? [03:24] Ben64: yeah, i think it would boot into backtrack as priority. [03:24] Tex_Nick : when I play on youtube in browser it is going to pulse audio bcos I can see that on PULSEAudio Volume meter [03:24] chadster1975: if i were you, i'd use the boot-repair utility with an ubuntu live cd, it should be able to detect and fix the problem [03:24] Silverfox, http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/fixing-broadcom-43xx-wireless-card.html [03:24] Ben64: will give that a try right away [03:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [03:28] hey can anywher ehere give me some live assistant?

I hv done that [03:31] most likely issue is grub [03:32] <_helios_> BroBert: have you checked your boot device priority in your bios? [03:32] Tex_nick : in /etc/modeprob.d/alsa-conf all of them are 2 [03:32] _helios_: yes and EFI is the first boot device [03:32] who is more stable. Ubuntu or Debian Sid?

[03:36] <_helios_> BroBert: try to follow ubottu's link it might have the fix you need. [03:36] Ramsrambo: not sure ... you're probably going to need more help than i can i can provide ... i'm still looking though [03:36] my mouse on ubuntu is too fast. system setting mouse set on minimum but still pretty much unusable [03:37] Ben64: boot-repair not working very well so far. starts to load then locks up just after loading the optical mouse [03:37] _helios_: im going to [03:37] Silverfox, working good?

I've tried gparted but it doesn't work form me. All those functions are greyed out. [03:38] nearst: no, the bcmwl and bcm43 drivers in the official repos have bugs/problems and don't work with certain AP's. [03:38] which is why I'm trying to get my compiled module working [03:38] keithclark_, in 12.10 the software "disks" has that option [03:38] <_helios_> keithclark_: goto http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-format-usb-pen-drive/ it has step by step instructions using the terminal. [03:39] It is that complicaterd? [03:39] keithclark_, disks? no, it's GUI [03:39] Silverfox, u try manually change to specific channel? iwconfig channel ? [03:39] <_helios_> keithclark_: It's not hard but I just don't know it by heart lol [03:40] nearst: I'd rather get a good driver installed. I can't log into every AP and change the channel. Starbucks frowns on that sort of thing. [03:41] Tex_Nick : It started working I just clicked on system speaker and it is working now [03:41] please i just need an operating system, i completely got rid of windows on my brand new notebook because i was sure ubuntu would work, i have no idea whats going on [03:42] I just want to 'burn' an o/s onto my usb stick drive but it does not seem to work with unetbootin [03:42] Ramsrambo: cool ... how easy was that ;-) [03:42] <_helios_> johnathan: what's the problem you are having? [03:43] Is it possible to use an ubuntu 12.04 dvd to upgrade a 10.04 install? My ISP is terrible and the downloads (during upgrade process) keep borking when the connection drops. [03:43] helios im trying to install ubuntu on my aspire one d270-1895 netbook. the live install side launches but it crashes when i try to try it, if i install it it will install but then when i try to boot it it crashes the exact same way [03:43] Tex_Nick : I do not know - I just changed the device for O/p [03:43] !alternate | craigbass1976 [03:43] craigbass1976: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [03:43] mmmmm....

[03:44] xangua, not sure what you're saying. I've got the regulat 12.04 dvd [03:44] regular [03:44] craigbass1976: you need the alternate iso, not the desktop http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [03:44] and there are several guides out there to use the alternate to upgrade [03:45] xangua, fah... I'll just fresh install then [03:45] Tex_Nick : Thnx for all the help [03:45] Ramsrambo: looks like you're good to go ... ^5 and good going :-) [03:48] !alternate | xangua [03:48] xangua: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [03:48] <_helios_> johnathan: I've been doing some searching and from what I've read so far your notebook should be compatible with Ubuntu 12.10, What is the error message your are getting? [03:49] bazhang: already read it...whice now, thanks :) [03:49] * xangua insets sarcasm here [03:50] after booting the last thing i see helios is a long list of [ok]s and the last on the list is "stopping anac(h)ronistic cron, it gets stuck here , ive waited for like hours and all i get is a flashing - [03:50] x will not start [03:50] and i cant access any other tty [03:50] <_helios_> johnathan: Have you tried to make a different CD? [03:51] im installing from thumb drive, ive reformatted it about 15 times now lol man i just dont get it [03:51] <_helios_> johnathan: I feel your fustration trust me I've had problems with acer before. [03:51] ive tried both 64 bit and 32 bit, as it turns out my system is 64, but its the same error either way [03:52] ya man it just blows lol [03:52] i got the netbook for my it course and i literally need ubuntu on it lol [03:52] how old is the netbook? could it have harddrive damage [03:52] its brand new, bought it today [03:53] i have seen this issues on another system of mine with a failing drive [03:53] well then there goes that idea lol [03:53] ya, it had a perfectly functional copy of windows 7... if you can concider windows functional [03:53] have you tried a diffrent USB stick? i have also seen that be a issue [03:54] <_helios_> johnathan: You should try to make a Live CD instead of the USB. [03:54] i only have the one, i would try that if i could, a curious thing is this happens with any flavor of linux i try [03:54] helios this netbook has no cd rom [03:55] you could hook up the USB Drive and do a true clean on it by writeing it all out and formatting it and then rebuilding your start up drive [03:55] what are you useing to create you bootable USB? [03:55] say what now? lol [03:55] ive tried 2 peices of software [03:56] both of the recommended [03:57] i forgot the name of the app but it does a true format of any type of drive by filling the drive with all 0's then formatting it so it removes all traces of information [03:57] its worth a fuckin try honestly [03:57] it would be easier to just use another USB drive or [03:58] makeing it from another system [03:58] how big is the live install? a couple megs right? i have a usb drive but its only like 1.5 gigs, ill try that i guess [03:58] i belive it has to be at leat a 2gig stick [03:58] ok then im fucked [03:58] lol [03:59] <_helios_> johnathan: you should beable to fit it on 1.5gb [03:59] !language | johnathan [03:59] johnathan: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:59] sorry [03:59] ok ill try it [03:59] afk [03:59] ya its worth a shot [03:59] ill let you know how it goes [03:59] also when you try the install use a diffrent USB port on the system [03:59] <_helios_> johnathan: good luck and I'll keep looking this problem up cause its got me curious [03:59] just incase its a voltage issue [04:00] johnathan: dont stress. you may not be able to pull this off at this moment, but you will get what you need and get it going eventually === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [04:00] <_helios_> Well everyone I am so tired I will ttyl ;) [04:01] chadster i hope i can, im going to try this out and try to calm down lol thanks for all the help anyone i really appreciate it [04:03] JUST TO VERIGGY lol 32 bit version will still work on 64 bit computer right? [04:03] verify* [04:03] yes [04:03] ok [04:03] 32 bit would be better for a netbook any way [04:03] i use 64bit on all my 64bit systems. ;) [04:03] even my netbooks [04:03] of course only 1 of my netbooks can do 64bit [04:04] 64 bit is better for a 64bit system and systems with more ram [04:04] my netbook only has 1 gig [04:04] but 32 bit works as well [04:04] then for sure use 32bit [04:04] I set up apt-cacher-ng on my lan - so its easier for me to use 64 bit on everything [04:04] i doubt if you will notice much differance either way [04:05] i am slowly losing all semblance of sanity lol [04:05] XD [04:06] these little issue happen from time to time but in the end it teaches you lots of cool new thigns [04:06] i know, i love fixing stuff so i can learn... but i worry that i wont be able to fix it xD [04:07] as long as it still has its magic smoke it can always be fixed lol [04:07] lmao [04:08] or it doesn't give smoke [04:08] 1 min and 20 secs till the moment of truth >_> [04:10] ok its making the disk [04:11] brb [04:12] back [04:12] ok 70% [04:13] 80..90...80..70... wut? [04:13] :) [04:13] lolol [04:14] ive seen just such thingss on progress meters [04:14] ok guys i tried burnign to the boot repair to the flash and starting it but its telling me to use gparted and change the flags of my partitions [04:15] yes.. gparted can be used to change flags.. :) so whats the problem? [04:15] i have no idea what this means i just want to get ubuntu working and i know theres nothing wrong with the installation i used [04:15] ok the very vist thing im going to do is try to test it, if that doesnt work then i know its not going to work [04:15] run gparted.. and se the flag on the partions as its saying. [04:15] what flag is it saying to change anyway? [04:16] Guys, later I have changed my password editing the image - grub, my Ubuntu don't start anymore. When I type my password and enter, return to initial screen. Any suggest? Or I'll have to re-install my system again? [04:16] dr_willis: Any suggest to my problem? [04:17] Physicist: can you login to the console with that user/password? [04:17] its not clearn what you mean by editing the image grub... [04:17] its not working [04:17] FACEPALM [04:17] 'dont start any more...' well its aparently booting up.. if its asking for a user/password.. do give DEtAILS as to what you mean... [04:18] what it doing? [04:18] i got a flashing - [04:18] for the past 5 minutes or so [04:19] i am assuing you told it to boo from cd [04:19] yes [04:19] usb i mean' [04:19] !nomodeset [04:19] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:19] im going to cry ubottu is that for me? [04:19] LOL [04:19] those were supposed to be seperate messages [04:19] XD [04:20] black screen just showing a _ _ _ _ = try the nomodeset option [04:20] to me it sounds like the boot image of you usb drive is not working [04:21] dr_willis: Grub - press: e, and edit with: initi=/bin/bash. To enter my password, the system will apparently start, but will not start. the screen goes black, the sound is original and reissued as an infinite loop! Does not start. [04:21] im gonna check this disk for defauls then il try ni mode set [04:21] errors* [04:21] Physicist: the sound is original? what ssound? [04:22] dr_willis: Initial sound of the log screen! [04:22] Anyone have advice on whether or not to use the encryption option when i install ubuntu? any history of trouble or cause systems to be significantly slower? [04:23] if you are using init=bin/bash it shouldent even be loading the Lightdm login manager as far as i know... [04:23] Physicist: try the 'text' option to see if you can boot to a normal console mode [04:23] !text [04:23] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [04:24] that nomodeset seems to have worked thus far... its just a waiting game now [04:24] e in grub -> quiet splash ---change to --> noquiet nosplash verbose text [04:24] it... didnt... work [04:24] xD [04:24] XDD [04:26] guys is freeBSD guaranteed to atleast install right? if so i could try to build from that... it would be a learning experience lol [04:26] err.. freebsd is not linux [04:26] i know [04:26] dr_willis: So, when I'll be there what should I do? [04:26] and nothing is every guarentted [04:27] Physicist: did it sucessfully boot to the console? [04:28] dr_willis: To the graphical normally mode doctor! [04:28] Huh? the text option should not boot to the graphical login screen.. b ut to the console login: display [04:29] Anyone seen their unity disappear completely? Screenshot: http://twitter.com/Tony_Lech/status/297921985470664705/photo/1 [04:29] seyfarth: turn off the unity pluygin setting in ccsm ;) and it will vanish [04:30] dr_willis: ccsm? [04:30] !ccsm [04:30] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [04:30] anyone familiar with battery charging issues? Setup ubuntu on my Samsung Laptop, plugged in charger, and it doesn't charge (though it doesn't seem to be draining). I have tried to find a solution, but must be missing it [04:30] unity can crash/not show if compiz for somepreason dosent load properly [04:30] Ok, doctor. I'll try.. Thank you! [04:31] see if the guest user account works properly. if so.. try making a new user.. ssee if the new test user works properly [04:32] Yes! I'm in the guest user now! [04:32] they really need to work on some fallback mode for when unity goofs up [04:33] dr_willis: one of many reasons I don't think they should have made it default already [04:33] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [04:33] if you dont push forward... you fall back... ;) [04:34] the failsafe-x feature was tried.. then tossed i recall... not sure what happened to it. [04:34] just pushes users to xfce, kde, lxde, and gnome-fallback [04:34] dr_willis: i like your style. [04:34] gnome-fallback is scheduled for elimination in the future.. [04:34] well i've got it for at least 4 more years :D [04:34] helios are you still here? [04:34] dr_willis: Guessing it has to do with the beta nvidia drivers I just put on there. New user has the same issue [04:35] seyfarth: can you open a terminal [04:35] johnathan: i think he signed off for the night, said he was tired [04:35] seyfarth: that would be a good guess.. the guest user also fails i imagine? [04:35] ok [04:35] Yeah. I can get a terminal. Unity fails for all users [04:35] Need to get additional driver screen open somehow [04:35] id bet its actually compiz failing. ;) [04:36] seyfarth: ok, open one up and type "sudo lshw -c video | grep -i driver" [04:37] install some light/simple window manager to use as a tempary fix.. such as jwm or openbox.. if you want a useble desktop for trouble shooting [04:37] Ben64: two drivers. But then, this is a two driver laptop. One of those weird nvidia/intel hybrids [04:38] oh. [04:38] theres your problem. (probably) [04:38] Ben64:well it works fine with one. Just need to get back to "additional drivers" app somehow (jockey?) [04:38] what are you trying to do? get rid of nvidia? [04:39] Ben64: Yeah. It's what I just added [04:39] you might want to look into http://bumblebee-project.org/ [04:39] Usable system first :) [04:39] I'm on irc via smartphone haha [04:40] then sudo apt-get install icewm [04:40] will give you a window manager to work with [04:40] <3 [04:41] in 12.10 addational drivers is in a tab of the software sources tool [04:42] in 12.04 it would be jockey-gtk [04:43] they should have made that conmand in 12.10 pyll up the siurces tool with tgat tab focused.. ;-) [04:50] Blasting the nvidia driver fixed it. Thanks for your help guys <3 [04:51] http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/11/how-to-boot-iso-file-from-your-hard.html [04:51] nearst: yep. handy feature [04:53] dr_willis, grub-legacy support for this or its feature from grub2?

[04:58] hey guys, how can i fix "booting without full network configuration" my computer started doing this thing where it takes extra time during startup and then boots without full network configuration, when it finally starts up It takes a bit and then networking starts working, but it would be great if i can get it back to working as it used to.

In the terminal my wireless connection is fine but in the gnome interface i cant connect [05:14] thats not the adapter-s fault, thats gnome shell, gnome shell is crap [05:15] oh my professor suggested it [05:15] try cinnamon or unity [05:15] I like them both [05:15] nice morning :) [05:15] http://alternativeto.net/software/getdeb/ [05:15] mate for gnome2, but atm gnome shell is kinda buggy [05:15] lame [05:16] well with the backlash they stopped caring [05:16] I have firefoxBrowser, but I need one more. is it a good idea to install 'xxxterm' !!? [05:16] gnome shell should be using the same network manager tools in ubuntu [05:16] Ya for some reason I couldn't get connected in the gnome shell. Not even when I wired into my router. [05:17] ive seen it dr_willis where it works in Unity but not in Gnome-shell [05:17] on my system my wireless connects b3for i even login [05:17] like gnome shell just doesnt want to connect when installed next to unity [05:17] just yes or no. help, help!!? [05:18] justmmt: with?) [05:18] ive never heard of xxxterm [05:18] !info xxxterm [05:18] xxxterm (source: xxxterm): Minimalist's web browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.11.3-1 (quantal), package size 170 kB, installed size 421 kB [05:18] so minimal its most lukely useless [05:18] I dont see how firefox isnt enough [05:18] which webBrowser is good to install, other than firefox!!? [05:19] ff. chrome. opera. [05:19] some people like chrome or chromium but I prefer firefox always have always will unless they do something really stupid and break everything [05:19] for full flash, im use chrome [05:19] flash works fine for me here [05:19] in firefox [05:20] afaik, ubuntu now configure flash auto [05:20] they use the open source one [05:20] you can choose to install the one from adobe [05:20] huh? i dont think so [05:20] you install flash same as you alw%ys have [05:20] did they change it? I didn't notice the difference [05:21] thought so [05:21] google chrom comes with its own flash [05:21] I love how adobe were all like "we wont support Linux with flash anymore" 2 revisions later [05:22] yea, I need flash to work!! [05:22] lol [05:22] Justasic: works fine here [05:22] you must not have it installed [05:22] so you use ff or chrom then ;-) [05:23] try flashplugin-installer then [05:23] install them all. ff. chrome. and chromium [05:23] we may be under 8% market share but we are a consistant bunch, much more consistant than Mac users lol [05:24] ignoring us is futile, ask Samsung about all the bad press lmao [05:24] Hey [05:24] howdie [05:24] I found a solution and have a question [05:24] my problem was that certain apps like steam wouldn't start [05:24] dr_willis, I think I'll install chrome. [05:25] my solution was to delete all previous drivers [05:25] i install all 3 [05:25] I have a thinkpad t500 [05:25] Nils_: amd or nvidia card? [05:25] Should I keept it this way? [05:25] dr_willis, which !? [05:25] amd radeon 3650 [05:25] and intel [05:25] idk amd sucks [05:25] it's a hybrid situation [05:25] I refuse to use their rubbish [05:25] justmmt: ff. chrome and chromium [05:26] my macbook which is running mint 14.1 is hybrid nvidia and intel and it works fine [05:26] so the propieritary driver has caused trouble so far [05:26] what should I do [05:26] use the newest 310 driver [05:26] dr_willis, is there a big difference between chrome and chromium!? [05:26] er for amd idk [05:26] hmmm [05:26] look [05:26] flash is the main diff. [05:26] hold on ill research it [05:27] nils-, im already keep try patching, making package since last night. able to install but kmod not load the module [05:27] tried installing the newest one but it failed [05:27] I don't know if someone else had this issue with matlab [05:27] http://xpressrazor.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/how-to-setup-amdintel-hybrid-graphics-cards-in-linux-ubuntu/ [05:27] when I install the additional driver it causes trouble [05:27] aticonfig: No supported adapters detected [05:28] but when using it, like for ex doing "bench" it causes my pc to restart [05:28] this is why I like nvidia, it works with minimul hassle [05:28] all turns black and that's it [05:28] nvidia optimus is also a pain [05:28] Castial, that is for hd 5x00 series, 2x00-4x00 known as legacy now [05:29] anyone has an idea of what may be causing the problem? [05:29] dr_willis, ok, [05:29] also, it's matlab r2012b [05:29] thanks for all :) [05:29] Sosumi: mpressive a user ran app can restart the pc [05:30] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB [05:30] indeed [05:30] hi [05:30] or its some hardware crashing [05:30] i need some help. my fan is blowing like crazy when idle and im running one tab of firefox [05:30] Sosumi: Ubuntu 12.04 and up are not supported OSes [05:31] my laptop is a dell inspirion n4110 [05:31] of matlab [05:31] wait for the march update or go back to using Ubuntu 11.10 [05:31] well, I also tested with fedora 18 [05:31] known bug [05:31] and it did the same thing [05:31] right [05:32] i want to roolback on my updates. this happened when i updated yesterday [05:32] dr_willis, oh no, I think Ive not chrome in my repository, just chromium. it's the one which doesn't support flash isn't it!? [05:32] its a known kernel bug [05:32] *rollback [05:32] wait til march for the update, matlab isnt FOSS software so we only get updates when they are promised to us [05:32] http://saravananthirumuruganathan.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/fixing-matlab-errors-in-ubuntu-12-10/ [05:33] until then use a "supported operating system" [05:33] that works too [05:33] anyone? [05:33] unfortunatelly that seems so [05:33] bump [05:33] I just know for a few applications like matlab I am currently booting my other netbook to 11.10 til march [05:33] GProg, try "top" to see which process is running? [05:33] ok [05:33] GProg: saying "bump" wont get you any help [05:34] how do i know what's taking up cpu? Im a linux noob [05:35] system monitor [05:35] and afaik (I could be wrong) I dont believe there is a way to rollback updates [05:35] found the issue [05:35] 1297 root 20 0 69660 3092 2292 R 97.7 0.1 11:49.48 cupsd [05:35] 6321 root 39 19 380m 281m 7332 D 56.2 4.8 0:43.46 update-apt-xapi [05:36] cupsd? [05:36] cups is printer [05:36] its taking 97 percent of my cpu [05:36] thats weird [05:36] sudo kill 1297 [05:36] sudo kill 6321 [05:36] ok [05:36] service cups stop [05:36] GProg, you may kill that process to see what will happen [05:37] will do [05:37] sudo service cups stop [05:37] cups is noramally real stable [05:37] yeah in the recent years its been a dream [05:38] I hooked my kodak AIO to my both USB and Wifi and it works without a single configuration [05:38] plug and go [05:38] Hi, I ran an update and now i've got an error from dpkg. You'll note that the required version and the installed version are the same except for the ~ Message: [05:38] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of initramfs-tools: [05:38] initramfs-tools depends on initramfs-tools-bin (<< 0.99ubuntu13.1~); however: [05:38] Version of initramfs-tools-bin on system is 0.99ubuntu13.1. [05:39] hmmmm, they are not closing and my fan is still running like crazy [05:39] any ideas? i've cleared my dpkg cache and updated, etc. [05:39] afraid to reboot [05:39] howdy, any feedback on getting the latency of microphone input playback to a level that is not a total mindfuck? [05:39] sudo apt-get install --fix-missing [05:39] pbajp: wow just backup and reinstall lol [05:39] its still running [05:39] how did you mess up your boot table it would be faster to reinstall then it would to fix it [05:39] cannot kill it [05:40] GProg, sudo kill -9 1297 [05:40] sorry forgot the -9 [05:40] pbajp: tried a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade recently? [05:40] Castial: heh, i'd rather edit /var/lib/dpkg/status, but humm [05:40] yeah dist-upgrade breaks a lot [05:41] it was easier for me to simply reinstall [05:41] thats weird.. it shouldent break anything [05:41] holy crap, its still running [05:41] i didn't do anything to the boot, it just updated initramfs tools [05:41] from 13 to 13.1 [05:41] dr_willis: for me it broke the entire init too [05:41] it goes to 6638 and so on [05:41] is cupsd a virus? [05:41] I simply have /home on another drive so it was easier to format / and install 12.10.1 [05:42] no matter how many times i kill it it goes to another line [05:42] amd or intel, plz comment ? [05:42] dr_willis: nope. should I? [05:42] GProg: yes XD no its the printer service [05:42] i'm at 12.10 [05:42] !cups gpog [05:42] linux dont get viruses foo [05:42] only rootkit [05:42] pbajp: try it and see what it suggests [05:42] well i have an intel [05:42] Has there never been a proper virus that affects Linux systems? [05:42] hatake: get what your budget can affrd [05:42] how do i end this printer service? its still going, lol [05:43] GProg, kill -9 [05:43] well I gotta reboot after 121 updates [05:43] GProg, tha's weird. I am not familiar with these cupsd thing [05:43] i'm pretty sure that's not gonna fix this, btw i've been using linux since 96. this is the first time i've had to ask for help on irc... [05:43] but thanks anyway! [05:43] pbajp: see what it suggests.. it may be a dead end anyway [05:43] the verssion #s seem weird.. [05:43] yah, still [05:43] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [05:43] initramfs-tools : Depends: initramfs-tools-bin (< 0.99ubuntu13.1~) but 0.99ubuntu13.1 is installed [05:43] E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. [05:43] wow, wtf is going on [05:43] and i've done -f [05:44] aa [05:44] aaa [05:44] http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-managing-services-with-update-rc-d/ [05:44] yeah... [05:44] fraa_lio: sorta. you might want to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Viruses_and_trojan_horses [05:45] try scan with rkhunter or chkrootkit [05:45] pbajp: could be some wwirdness or bug in some packages that got made. [05:45] yeah [05:45] I dont recall ever seeing a ~ in a version # befor [05:45] i updated this yesterday, now look what happened [05:47] "wah I updated my free OS that I paid nothing for, with no implied warranty and something broke and instead of googling and doing what others have posted im going to continue to whine and moan" [05:47] dr_willis: et al. could you send me what this outputs? I'm curious what your initramfs-tools is saying it requires... [05:47] grep initramfs-tools-bin /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep Depends [05:47] im on my cell phone. ;) [05:47] dude its like legos sometimes things come apart and ya gotta put them back together [05:47] * cfhowlett and THEN I'm going to MSoft! Fedora! Mint! ... [05:47] im not whining, just want my ubuntu to go back to normal :) [05:48] GProg, have you run a print job recently? [05:48] nope [05:48] cfhowlett: better yet I love when mac fanboys come in here complaining about everything === xiambax is now known as systemx [05:48] its a bug [05:49] no its not because I just printed something [05:49] try removing cups [05:49] reboot [05:49] reinstall cups [05:49] remove cupsd? how [05:49] ubuntu software center [05:49] just a reboot may be easier to try firtst [05:49] right [05:50] cups is normally a very solid bit of code... [05:50] going to ubuntu software [05:50] could be its got confused about somthing or somthign else crashed and got cups all confused [05:50] dr_willis: remember back in 03-04 holy f--- it didnt used to be [05:51] i hope my laptop wont over heat [05:51] its doing 71 c [05:51] my simple HP laserjet-5l has worked great in linux for decades. ;) === systemx is now known as system [05:51] http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx it has a .deb, wondering if there is a canonical or community repo I can apt-get from? [05:51] when you say reboot. do you mean reinstall ubuntu? === system is now known as systemx [05:51] CarlFK, nope. [05:51] GProg: .. i mean reboot the pc.... [05:52] oh [05:52] cfhowlett: thanks. [05:52] oor power off... let it cool a bit.. then power back on === systemx is now known as xiambax [05:53] ok, removing [05:53] now a reboot [05:53] tools/modprobe.c:550: print_action: Assertion `kmod_module_get_initstate(m) == KMOD_MODULE_BUILTIN' [05:53] i suggested just rebooting first...... [05:53] tried it^ [05:53] :) [05:53] brb [05:55] hmm, so im trying to use a program called filebot. i have it installed on a system, but im going to be using its command line options for scripting. When i run the app, im getting: ** (process:22546): WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=5c686fcd4b7fc19b5fd84dfc00000009 --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n [05:55] repeated multiple times. Is there a setting i might be missing in ubuntu or is it just the app requiring x11? [05:56] MACscr, filebot is not an ubuntu package and is not in the repositories. Suggest you go to the package maintainer for support [05:56] http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/getdeb_apps/quantal/apps/getdeb/filebot [05:57] Hi. Dumb question here which Google couldn't answer: What's the quickest way and easiest way to make an encrypted dir? [05:57] lol, cupsd is still there [05:57] bitplane, ecryptfs [05:58] hmm I don't think the FS method is good for me. I want the files backed up via dropbox [05:58] it's a few text files, will maybe one day be 1mb [05:58] macbr: almost looks like itst rying to start up X11 itself.. which is weird [05:58] password protected like encryptfs, but backed up to dropbox and other cloud storage [05:58] dr_willis: i know, im not sure what my options are [05:59] should i reinstall ubuntu? [05:59] GProg: cupsd should be there, it's what lets you print [05:59] MACscr: try running it from a x terminal [05:59] does file-roller and archive mounter do password protected archives? [05:59] GProg, to disable cups http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1701098 [05:59] are you trying to get rid of it? [05:59] dr_willis: its a headless system =/ [05:59] GProg: so its still there.. but is it sucking down the cpi? [05:59] MACscr: try it in a vnc session [05:59] yes [06:00] GProg, I'd say no. Cupsd is a service. you should be able to default to NOT start on launch ... [06:00] dr_willis: not really going to help since this is something that is going to run in an automated fashion from another app [06:00] Hi is it possible to login to a server without a username or password? [06:00] bitplane, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-how-to-encrypt-and-decrypt-files-with-a-password.html [06:00] MACscr: that will let you know if it needs a X session... [06:00] where can i make this thing not luanch? [06:00] thanks :( [06:00] *launch [06:00] :) [06:00] MACscr: ive no idea what that app is doing. ;) [06:01] cups file on /etc/init/cups afaik, GProg refer to url i give u [06:01] GProg, on 12.10? system settings > startup IIRC [06:01] riqdiiz: using what service? or you mean automateeed login over ssh? [06:01] dr_willis: you drinking tonight? your tab autocomplete for names is pretty bad tonight =P [06:02] im on 12.10. I feel so noobish here. I switched to linux because i had enough of windows 7 [06:02] looks like they have been spot on to me... [06:04] if theres a cups bug that just came out thats causing it to suck down 100% cpu. i imagine its going to get noticed and worked on/fixed very quickly.. ;) [06:04] dr_willis:automated over dialup . [06:04] * cfhowlett dailup? [06:04] riqdiiz: i'm not sure what you mean (kinda scared to ask actually). but you can use ssh+keys to login remotely without requiring inputting username and password (username is obviously still used). [06:05] why not use teamviewer instead :D [06:05] dialup? ;) like a BBS systm? [06:06] or the old days of dialup isp serivice. [06:06] Good Old Netzero. ;) [06:06] Dialup isp service [06:07] theres guides on making your own personal dialup isp type system. saw them ages ago on tldp.org [06:07] not seen anyone actually do it in years [06:08] pstn + PABX world [06:10] is there a reason I cannot the ownership of a directory I own on a server? [06:10] why is empathy so buggered in 12.10? === Tux is now known as Wither [06:12] yva: rephrase that perhaps? its not clear [06:13] dr_willis, oups sorry. I'd like to change the ownership of a directory say test drwxrwxr-- 4 yva yva 4096 2013-02-03 06:05 but when I do chown it says operation not permitted, why? [06:13] does ubuntu make a recovery partition [06:14] yva you mean permissions? your owner is yva [06:14] is there an updated version of empathy that will allow me to store my IRC password properly? [06:14] yes, and I'd like to "give" the file to another user chown test/ daniel [06:15] im not sure users can unown stuff that way. [06:15] yva, you'd actually chown -R daniel test [06:15] dr_willis, yeah, you can [06:16] cant say ive ever tried to do it. ;-) [06:16] or newded to [06:16] question... i'm using ./configure with "export CFLAGS="xyz" is it possible instead of setting FLAGS environment variable to pass it in as a command line parameter to configure? [06:17] you can do cflags=foo ./configure [06:17] bittu, it really depends on the way the developer wrote the ./configure script [06:18] nyRednek, i thought so, thanks [06:18] nyRednek, dr_willis, nope same problem, I cannot [06:18] yea.. exporting world be best === Wither is now known as Tux [06:18] yva: what kind of server is this. is this a samba share? [06:19] nope, a ubuntu, latest lts [06:19] err samba is a service on ubuntu [06:19] ;-) [06:20] so you are just sshing into the server? [06:20] dr_willis, i even have a proprietary router that has CIFS in its code [06:21] hello [06:22] theundertaker, greetings [06:22] SUCCESS!!! [06:22] greetings [06:23] Thanks everyone [06:23] hey guys, im doing rmdir /var/run in the bash prompt at startup, but it says Not a directory, however ive verified that it is there.. how can i get ti [06:23] my laptop runs normally now [06:24] brady2600: i think /var/run is a link to /run - why would you want to remove it? [06:24] hey guys im trying to rmdir /var/run in the prompt before startup however it results in Not a directory, however ive checked and i know the folder exists. [06:25] i want to remove it because ive been given instructions in a tutorial to do so [06:25] brady2600: a tutorial to do what [06:26] brady2600: and if you read in a howto to jump off a bridge would you do that as well? this is a BAD idea. [06:26] hi, i am having trouble getting debug info/logs from bluez [06:26] ive purged lightdm , the network manager, the display manager, and supposedly this folder needs to be deleted, so i can reinstall all that stuff, so my computer stops "booting without networking" [06:27] well, now what do i do? [06:27] ask questions about comp. science. [06:27] anyone here computer scientist? [06:27] !ot|GProg, [06:27] GProg,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:28] the purpose of the tutorial was to get networking to stop acting crazy [06:28] its involving on ubuntu. OS questions etc.. [06:29] careful gprog, the room is a nazi hammer if you don't stay on topic. it's weird [06:29] ok [06:29] I'll take that advice. [06:29] brady2600: if the channel weren't so full and busy at times, it would matter less [06:29] anyways, how do i fix this cupsd? do i need it in the future? [06:30] anyone have a good understanding of proxy servers and x-forwarded-for ? [06:30] im only responding because you said that to me.. but ive never seen the room here scrolling so fast to justify such behavior [06:30] bobafett, #ubuntu-server question maybe??? [06:30] squid, if anything [06:31] yeah, its a support server. [06:31] quit: later [06:31] quit/see ya [06:31] well thanks everyone(click the x button). [06:32] brady2600: thats the point [06:33] no what im saying, is i don't find it believable. [06:34] unnecessarily restrictive and conflict creating for a problem that does not exist, its a human compatibility fail. [06:34] the problem doesn't exist because of the rules [06:35] ^^ [06:35] like i said.. I don't find that contention realistic. [06:35] can i change the function for the middle button with the right button? [06:35] in the terminal [06:35] but back to my problem [06:35] if you had 20 users in here all talking about different subjects it would be hard to get questions answered. now think about it, there are 1631 users in here. make sense now? [06:36] brady2600, stop that ranting, Ubuntu 11.10 has migrated away from /var/run, /var/lock and /dev/shm and now uses /run, /run/lock and /run/shm instead (respectively). [06:36] hello all [06:36] thomasd, greetings [06:36] i have not ranted. I have simply responded for what was said at me [06:36] thanks cfhowlett [06:36] I'm trying to start a script on boot, but I'm obviously doing it wrong can someone explain me why "update-rc.d astransk default" returns "astransk start runlevel arguments (none) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 4 5)". My /etc/init.d/astransk file is here : http://pastebin.com/4VFxrJYi [06:36] ah it's `xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2"` [06:36] I thought I would need to create the rc?.d links manually, so I did, but the update-rc.d doesn't work any better ... [06:38] !upstart | thomasd maybe this will help? [06:38] thomasd maybe this will help?: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:38] ok yes, but i still want to delete the folder, i have backed it up so i can manually replace it from another computer if needed. [06:38] brady2600: why would you need to delete /run [06:40] ls [06:42] Ben64, stanger than that >rmdir /var/run [06:42] *stranger [06:42] OerHeks: either way it's weird [06:43] the /run stuff is a specual dynamic directory like /proc i thought [06:43] Ben64: OerHeks neither "strang" nor "weird" quite describe it... [06:44] strang? [06:44] Hi All. Using kubuntu 12.04. Muon has become unresponsive during configuring a new kernel. Can someone please advise the most graceful recovery from this? Kill it and sudo dpkg -configure -a ? [06:44] Cub: s/strang/strange/ sorry [06:44] zykotick9: impossible? [06:45] Ben64: oh, if you want to break your system - i'd think it's possible. [06:45] oh well, time to try it in a vm [06:46] I have weird issues with file permissions d????????? ? ? ? ? ? . [06:46] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .. [06:46] -????????? ? ? ? ? ? 23551209-2013-02-03-07-16-08.775.json [06:46] any ideas where this would be coming from? [06:46] kdns, reboot with an earlier kernel should get you back up [06:47] yva: could you pastebin "ls -ln" in the directory you're talking about? [06:47] http://askubuntu.com/questions/169495/what-are-run-lock-and-run-shm-used-for [06:47] cfhowlett I'm still up now, I am on this box, it's not that it is not booting, just what I said. If I alt+tab, I can see it sitting there, not moving. [06:48] kdns, OK [06:48] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/4iaqR6UU [06:48] it's really weird [06:49] and I don't even seem to be able to get the file back [06:49] yva: mght be time for a fsck on that fs. [06:49] is it a local drive? [06:49] It's a server [06:49] so i connected successfully to a bt device that was giving me problems, using hidd [06:49] I was try to move some files around [06:49] and then i powered it down [06:49] and did a test on this file first [06:50] and when it came back up it wouldnt reconnect [06:50] what do you mean server? its a network share? [06:50] it wont even find the device anymore [06:50] im not sure what hidd would have changed [06:50] i did a find /etc -mtime -1 and nothing useful comes up [06:51] Ben24 an amazon ebs [06:51] come on, give more information [06:52] not sure what else I can tell you === archigos is now known as armedengineer [06:53] how are you accessing it? is it local to where you have the shell running or is it over the network? what type of drive is it? where is it mounted? what filesystem? what device? [06:55] alright, single quadro 6000, dual monitors does nothing but mirror the screen, will not extend the screen, any thoughts? [06:56] quadro? that a nvidia chipset? [06:56] dr_willis, yes [06:56] Ben64, it is mounted as sda [06:56] proprietary drivers, or nouveau? [06:57] installed the nvidia drivets? [06:57] drivers [06:57] kingbeast: what happens when you try to extend the screen [06:57] Ben64, ext4 [06:57] kdns, defaults back to mirror right after I apply [06:59] !nvidia [06:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [06:59] think it could be the combined res is too high? I have two 30" dells on it [06:59] 2560x1440x2? [07:00] 2560x1600 [07:00] x2 [07:00] does it work with another OS, or haven't tried? [07:00] I only use Ubuntu [07:00] just upgraded cards though [07:00] the old one worked? [07:01] yeah [07:01] I only use Ubuntu/2 [07:01] was it a quadro too? [07:01] but the old card was dual link dvi x2, this one is displayport [07:02] kingbeast: are u talking about something like Xinerama? [07:02] kingbeast: did you preview? Did it work? [07:02] no, it's randr these days [07:02] I'll figure it out [07:03] probably have to just write my own xorg file [07:03] no [07:04] kdns, why no [07:05] because usually it's not needed these days, so statistically speaking, you probably don't need to at all. [07:05] well I give it a few more attempts in different ways, just seeing if anyone else has had a problem with it [07:06] using nvidia-settings to do it? [07:07] it wouldn't reactivate nouveau drivers if switching cards, would it? [07:07] Ben64, I have tried both [07:08] is there a limit in the number of directories one can have in a directory? [07:08] kingbeast: how about trying the 310 drivers? [07:08] kepler, nah it's using the right driver [07:08] yva: yes [07:08] aeon-ltd, any idea how many is a limit? [07:08] yva: though i can't recall the number [07:09] thanks guys I'll figure it out and post the fix in the forums [07:09] I am new to development, and I am trying to boot up Ubuntu with testdrive for the first time. When I do, Ubuntu starts to boot, but then prints out the error message "BUG soft lockup..." Has anyone seen this before? === tom__ is now known as fortunateye [07:10] kingbeast: I had running 3 monitors with more than full hd on 2 nvidia cards with the nvidia drivers, so this should not be any problem [07:10] 1 [07:11] yva: quick googling says it's 64000, though i'm searching more to confirm [07:11] patrick__, lots of search hits on ubuntu + bug + soft + lockup [07:12] badday_, I think it's a resolution restriction or something. I'll try different monitors and if it works I know what it is then [07:12] display port should be able to handle it [07:12] you have those dongle things to connect through? [07:12] Is it possible to use a Displaylink monitor(USB monitor) as a third monitor using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? Some posts online suggest that it must be set as a separate screen in xorg.conf. Any suggestions? [07:12] kingbeast: I am not sure, I was actually using 2048x on DVI, so I guess yours should not be an issue [07:14] cfhowlett: Thanks. I had looked quickly on the net and didn't see any quick fixes. I was hoping someone here might have recognized it as a known problem. [07:14] badday_, if you combine the two I am trying to run it's 5120x1600. that's a huge resolution [07:15] patrick__, check bug reports. If your particular configuration/fail is not listed, you might consider filing a new bug [07:15] !bug|patrick__, [07:15] patrick__,: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [07:15] i run 5760x1200 w/ 3 monitors/2 cards via dvi, so unless it is a DP issue, i dont think there is a resolution problem [07:15] kingbeast: well, I was running 2 on a simple Nvidia card, too, almost the same resolution as u, so I guess it should work [07:16] could just be the card, idk I'll figure it out. thanks guys I'm headed to bed [07:16] night, gl! [07:16] aeon-ltd, seems to be 64 indeed [07:16] would that be true for files too? [07:18] cfhowlett: Thanks. I see there is a bug listed that looks like it might be similar for Ubuntu 12.04. It looks like there might be a fix available already. I'm looking into it. [07:18] hi, my virtualbox cannot connect to network. I have the same problem with all my vms which shows something wrong from my host side. cant figure out whats the problem. my ubuntu is 12.04, i have the vbox 4.2.6 installed from virtualbox.org [07:19] ugh displayport...why........ [07:19] i have to add, settings for my vms are all bridged network, and they used to work fine, suddenly few days ago they started having problems... [07:19] kdns: because hdmi costs too much [07:20] hey there, i have some questions about wireless in ubuntu. any one can help me [07:20] hi everyone. I am using chrome on my u12-04 and some extensions do not work particularly in Ubunty in w8 they work though. I do not know what is the reason for that. What i want to know is if anyone who uses ad blocker extension for u12-04 has (or had) issues with it? Can i make it work as it works in win-8 and if yes, how? thanx in advance [07:20] yva: i'd assume so [07:21] !ask | sunsetlover [07:21] sunsetlover: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:21] Can someone help me figure out why 1444 ( http://i.imgur.com/KqexRM3.png ) is not listenning to a remote telnet? [07:21] thats funny.. i just changed it to NAT it works... so why you think bridged does not work? [07:21] ok thank you [07:22] not responding that is [07:23] yva: according to wikipedia 4 billion is the limit of ext4 [07:23] Ben64: How's that? [07:23] ok, which groups in ubuntu 12.10 should i belong to be able to mount removable storage devices in kde? [07:23] aeon-ltd, yes, I was checking but I had more file that 64k in the directory [07:23] i belong to plugdev, what else? [07:23] yva: you'd run out of hdd space before you hit that if it's true [07:23] aeon-ltd, any idea how to be sure? [07:24] i'm running kde with startx with xinitrc containing exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startkde [07:24] the question is also if it's files or directories [07:25] yva: no idea on that, besides testing it (though that's out of the question really) [07:25] aeon-ltd, http://www.whatastruggle.com/maximum-number-of-sub-directories-in-ext4 [07:26] nvm silly aws setting [07:26] hey all [07:26] very old hardware here. [07:26] yva: also interesting http://serverfault.com/questions/104986/what-is-the-maximum-number-of-files-a-file-system-can-contain [07:26] just wondering if I can run minecraft for my kids [07:26] PIII 800MHz, 284M [07:26] 384MB I mean [07:27] eeeek [07:27] installing jre now [07:27] phunyguy_tab, no go? [07:27] isnt it a java based game? [07:27] yes [07:27] eeeek [07:27] oh [07:27] genoobie: that's pushing it, i've run it on a celeron m 3gb ram, couldn't hit 30fps even with optifine [07:28] clock at 2ghz i think [07:28] this is crazy, for the quality of game that it is, I mean shouldn't it run smooth? [07:28] i'd intalled ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop (hp g6) with windows 7, well every thing goes well but yesterday i found that the wireless not working good, because the router is not far of me (just 2 meters) and in windows the signal is full, but in ubuntu i found that the signal is low and lossing the connection without to internet for more one time in few minutes. will you please inform me what [07:28] happened with me? n.b: i tested the connection in windows and i found it working very good [07:29] ok tx [07:29] aeon-ltd, yep, I've read the same thread [07:29] cool :) [07:29] boy, this machine is really borderline [07:29] :) [07:29] minecraft smooth on a PIII 800mhz? :) thats... amuzeing.. [07:30] genoobie: running now on a c2d 2.4ghz/x3100/4gb ram/optifine i can hit 30-40 on tiny short distances [07:30] dr_willis, but the game seems so basic... [07:30] minecraft doesn't look good, but requires a lot of power [07:30] Ben64, that's what I am curious about [07:30] why? [07:30] more for lan play [07:30] java is the pig in this case i am sure [07:30] genoobie: and perhps very unoptmizzed [07:30] phunyguy_tab, any way to "optimize" [07:30] think about how many blocks are being computed at once [07:30] lots and lots of blocks [07:30] i feel like ubuntu made a partition that, in windows, looks like a recovery partition (so i cant delete it, as ive already deleted the main ubuntu partition), is it normal to have 2 recovery partitions? 1 is like 9gigs and the 2nd is 1gig [07:30] take so so code.. and maganify it... [07:31] 128*16*16*20 at the least [07:31] i have no idea [07:31] oh, hrm [07:31] adding texture....now! [07:31] dydzEz2_: windows7 normally has a boot partion and its main partion.. then the pc maker may have 1 or more recovery partions [07:31] :) [07:31] okay, forget it then, I was hoping it might work [07:32] maybe infiniminer :) [07:32] you should get a better computer [07:32] Ben64, yes [07:32] I am thinking about that now. [07:32] My Raspberry Pi proberly has more oomph then that thing. ;) [07:32] dr_willis, not really [07:33] Donate some bitcoins 1838oUxQED5WSM3HfwXZYdv7SfrCu5iRa2 [07:33] dr_willis is it possible ubuntu could even emulate a recovery partition [07:33] on a regular install [07:33] it probably does [07:33] you can play the minecraft built for rPi [07:33] seriously? [07:33] Ambushed: don't spam stuff here [07:33] its got moar ram.. and i can overclock it to 900mhz ;) [07:33] isn't it based on ARM? [07:33] yep [07:33] that'd be the cheapest you could get a minecraft machine [07:33] dydzEz2_: i wouldent think so [07:33] pentium 3 is very very very old [07:33] okay, hold a sec [07:34] * genoobie is googling rpi [07:34] if you can get one. :) or more... and not have to wait weeks [07:34] i have an amd64 sitting here doing nothing, its got to be many times faster than your p3 [07:34] Hi there I've installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS though I have no wireless , What do I do ? [07:34] Ben64: same here.. several older pcs in the garrage [07:34] jellow: more information please: what means "I have no", what hardware do u use etc. pp. [07:34] clusters! [07:35] oh [07:35] jellow: huh? you mean to be asking 'how do i get wireless working?' [07:35] Ben64, wanna trade? [07:35] :) [07:35] no, i don't want a p3 [07:35] tossed out all that stuff quite a while ago [07:35] ugh, [07:35] makes me feel a bit foolish [07:36] Ben64: same here... goodwill wants them [07:36] well.. they took them [07:36] amd64 3200+ is the oldest computer i have now [07:36] Ben64: what if it were 1ghz? [07:36] working on this PIII 800MHz, right now [07:36] aeon-ltd: nah [07:36] badday_: I'm on a Desktop PC does not pick up any interfaces , My card is RTL8101E/RTL8102E === patrick_ is now known as plafratt [07:36] genoobie: get something better, you'll probably save money in power usage [07:37] Ben64, heh [07:37] guys, no one answer my question until now [07:37] jellow: what does ifconfig tell u? [07:37] !patience | sunsetlover [07:37] sunsetlover: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [07:37] okay, will consider it [07:38] genoobie: if you lived anywhere near me i'd just give you this cpu+mobo [07:38] IT'S A TRAP! [07:38] badday_: eth0 and lo [07:38] aeon-ltd, of course it is :) [07:39] new york is quite far from california though [07:39] Has anyone run raring on testdrive successfully? [07:39] eh, i've given components to irc people before [07:39] jk [07:39] what if I send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope :) [07:39] plafratt: who is testdrive [07:39] it won't fit in [07:40] risky too [07:40] !13.04 | plafratt [07:40] plafratt: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [07:40] it's too bad that these machines aren't very useful [07:40] is module r8169 ethernet or wireless ? [07:40] word processing and some simple word searches with puppylinux or something [07:40] old machine - ssh - terminals ;) [07:40] simple internet searches I mean [07:41] loading up "minetest" [07:42] ubottu: Thanks. I had gone over there earlier and that channel look inactive. Do you know happen to know if there is a time that it is more active? [07:42] plafratt: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:42] i also have a core 2 duo with a broken motherboard [07:42] whoops [07:42] plafratt: it is like 3AM on sunday morning. :) ( usa time) so its going to be slow [07:43] super bowl sunday [07:43] everyone is busy posting pictures of their cats on reddit........ [07:43] ;_ [07:43] heh [07:43] yeah, I dunno, I am not going to buy laptops for my 9yo [07:44] dr_willis: Ah, :). Well, I thought this one when developers got most of their work done. [07:44] let them write up some text games in basic [07:44] that's what I did [07:44] they can play zork or something [07:44] maybe run an emulator :) [07:44] they have a Wii [07:44] genoobie: thats sort of the target audience for the Raspberry Pi [07:44] kids learning koding [07:44] turn your kid into a linux pro [07:45] and hardware hacking [07:45] well they will be on the PIII 800Mhz [07:45] :) [07:45] I've run through about 10 different distributions [07:45] finally settling on puppylinux [07:45] it almost ran minecraft :) [07:45] better than windows [07:45] genoobie: low end build/donations? you could probably build a pentium/celeron box for a few hundred, if you have donor parts it could be less. prices might drop when intel's haswell line comes in though [07:45] problem with Puppy is that they can break it easially.... but not like it matters much [07:46] dr_willis, how do you figure? [07:46] you mean like dragging files around and such? [07:46] genoobie: i used puppy for some time.. you can easially break your setup [07:46] aeon-ltd: few hundred? I could make a gaming computer for that much [07:46] genoobie: but the way it uses save files.. makes it faily easy to restore.. [07:47] yes, how would you resture? [07:47] restore I mean. [07:47] so you have some pup.sfs [07:47] you make a copy? [07:47] you backup your save files... yes. [07:47] they bork the one file [07:47] gotcha [07:47] restore [07:47] genoobie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:48] okay, anyhow, nite, it's almost 3AM here [07:48] peace and thanks for the advice everyone [07:48] BTW, I will never buy another thing off of craigslist again. [07:48] you paid money for that? ;) [07:48] no [07:48] thank god [07:48] not that dumb, but maybe someone else is :) [07:49] hmmm [07:49] bbl [07:49] yep [07:49] nite [07:49] so, anyone knows how to activate console kit session? [07:51] wsky: exec ck-launch-session nameofde/wm as your .xinitrc if you use startx [07:51] yes i got this [07:51] but the session is inactive [07:52] so, basically, dosent work [07:53] Yo is it possible to skip unmet dependencies? It wants me to install fglrx but I'm worried it'll break my current version and i dont want to do it anyways because i'd have to not be using it to do it [07:54] the latest rabbitsvn integrates very nicely in 12.10 [07:54] in unity === TheRainbowDusk is now known as TheRainbowDawn === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:59] hey everyone [07:59] hi randi [07:59] hi [07:59] :0 [08:01] playing the wireless drivers game tonight.. how about you guys/gals?

[08:11] !zh | idea [08:11] idea: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [08:12] Neither do most english speakers [08:12] I support the simplified spelling foundation, so we can all understand it. lol. [08:12] the new metric alphabet! [08:14] the world should just communicate in c code [08:14] * dr_willis runs classic books through grammer checkers to watch the programs explode [08:14] hehe [08:15] guideX: so the same, but with printf? [08:15] yeah [08:15] replace the caps lock key to type 'printf' then i'm on board [08:16] can ubuntu be used some how to burn a cd from a cd drive, on another ubuntu box? [08:17] remote burning? [08:17] you mean burn to a cd on a differnt machine? [08:17] my wifes computer runs ubuntu. I have no cd burner, her computer does. [08:17] make an iso.. send it over.. burn it there [08:17] ssh? then burning application? [08:18] or save the ISO to a USB drive for transport to the other box. [08:18] and then do the burn over on their computer [08:18] thats not the question im asking, im asking if its possible to load up some application on my machine, and have it miraculously burning on her machine. [08:18] why not use something like hamachi to setup vpn between the two machines [08:18] im not interested in the usb stick route [08:18] brady2600: never seen such an app [08:18] brady2600: no, any such application would be existing on their system and be being accessed from yours [08:18] probably via x-forwarding [08:19] but... [08:19] i wouldn't even trust *that* [08:19] via x forwarding , i can load the iso that is on my machine [08:19] well with x foerwaerding - you would be making the cd on their system. ;) since it wont be accessing local files [08:19] brady2600: you would need to scp it to their system [08:19] scp / ssh file transfer [08:19] brady2600: scp /path/to/file/locally user@remotesystemaddress:/path/to/save/file/at/on/remote [08:20] *maybe* [08:20] you can use neorouter to setup vpn between the two pc's brady... just an idea [08:20] never heard of scp [08:20] !scp [08:20] scp is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [08:20] i use x11 to get to my raspbian system [08:20] brady2600: i'm also assuming the remote system has sshd on it [08:20] (aka SSH access) [08:21] s/SSH access/a way for you to SSH to it/ [08:21] it would be cool if there was some sort of ssh tunneled x11 server that could do scp , but intigrated as a drive somehow [08:21] you can have your wife downstairs, yelling the individual bytes from downstairs [08:21] :P [08:22] there may be some network burning services out there.. but uve never noticed them.. never needed them [08:22] ONE ZERO ONE ONE ZERO ZERRO!! [08:22] burnind across the network would seem to have high potential for bad burns/underruns [08:22] brady2600: turns out to be rick astley [08:23] you could make up a service that takes iso files from some upload directory and burns them automacially [08:23] rick astley? [08:23] never gonna give you up [08:24] dr_willis: dropbox then scripting? [08:24] damn.. i believe my music taste diqualifies me from understanding that [08:24] i imagine scping or ftpong to thee server would be faster [08:25] i cant even recall the last time i burnt a cd or dvd... [08:25] of rick astley ? [08:26] havent bought any blanks in ages... even the dual layer dvds seem to 'tight' on space to store much to them ;) [08:27] * dr_willis wouldent know rick astley if he saw him... [08:27] Does anyone knows how to get the function keys to work in Byobu? [08:27] Hund: you using the console? or gnome-terminal? or what exactly withit? [08:28] dr_willis: I have tried both gnome-terminal, xfce-terminal and urxvt [08:28] some terminal apps ocverride the byou f keys.. [08:28] override [08:29] check the terminal apps settings.. [08:29] i hate it when a terminal emulator decides IT needs my F10 key.... [08:30] almost as annoying as keeping f1 dedicated for a 'help menu' ;) [08:30] dr_willis: lol, I forgot to test tmux with urxvt. That worked. :P [08:30] i only use tmux/byobu over my android phone. ;) rarely use it in an actual terminal app [08:31] dr_willis: Im using it on my server. I run a bunch of stuff there and its esier to manage them all with byobu. :) [08:34] hello, anyone knows where is the file that the language,lang locale var is defined by language support ? === ubuntu is now known as Guest74828 [08:36] xinglenick, whereis locale [08:37] nearst: you mean /etc/default/locale file ?

I made a .desktop file but when i launch it directly it still shows no icon, http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/6106/71677374.png [08:48] directly mesning? [08:48] Hello, is there something like internet download manager in ubuntu ? [08:48] meaning? [08:48] theadmin, yes, i have change it to LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and LANGUAGE=en, then ran sudo update-locale, but locale still not unchange [08:49] sorry, locale still the same [08:49] xGeek, thereis a lot like wget, aria2. google uget for gtk downloader [08:49] nearst: and i can downlad facebook video with ? [08:50] xinglenick: Are you sure your user doesn't have it's own locale set? [08:52] xGeek, not sure. usually video stream in linux located at /tmp . never thought to download facebook vids [08:52] theadmin, i also ran sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 , sudo update-locale, but it still not work [08:54] theadmin, i cheack my ~/.profile .bashrc but i can't see anything about LANGUAGE, LANG locale var [08:54] xinglenick: Maybe you should "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" === badday_ is now known as badday [08:55] is there anything like gedit which has syntax highlighting but as simple as say notepad for windows? [08:55] try geany [08:56] geany eh [08:56] ok [08:56] guideX: or "leafpad" standard editor on lxde/lubuntu === badday_ is now known as badday [08:56] iceroot: I don't think leafpad has syntax highlighting. [08:56] !info xfte [08:57] Package xfte does not exist in quantal [08:57] !info fte [08:57] fte (source: fte): Text editor for programmers - base package. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.50.2b6-1 (quantal), package size 87 kB, installed size 323 kB [08:57] only beef I have with gedit, is the code looks ugly in other editors afterwards [08:57] guideX: looks ugly? [08:57] wwhat a weird 'beef' [08:57] theadmin, my locale shows me LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8, LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en_US:en [08:57] the tabs and spaces don't look right [08:57] a beef meaning, I'm mad at it [08:58] set your edittors to show tabs the same.... [08:58] guideX:how a tab is displayed is part of the editor. in the text itself there is just a \t [08:58] guideX: gedit is not changing the code [08:58] hmm weird [08:58] I wonder why it's so different then [08:59] when I get it back to any of the editors I'm used to, the code looks like it's all over the place [08:59] the zh_CN:en_US:en sequence is the same as "language support" shows [09:00] theadmin: you are right, it does not have syntax-highlight [09:03] xinglenick: Well, in desktop systems, use that app to change language preferences. [09:06] iceroot: Also, I think gedit (as well as some other editors) replaces tabs with 4 spaces or such. [09:06] yeah I was really hopeing for an editor with configurable tab [09:06] so I can change it to two spaces :> [09:06] guideX: You can try FTE or Geany [09:07] hmm ok [09:07] theadmin: i have just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, and the command is successfully executed, but locale still shows me the same [09:08] xinglenick: Again, if you are on a desktop system, use gnome-language-selector ("Language Support") to reconfigure languages. [09:10] sorry guys my computer crashed so i didn't followed the answer about my question, so inform me if you get an answer === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [09:13] hi [09:13] No one seems to be alive in xubuntu. Does anyone here know how to do stuff to it if I describe a problem I'm starting to have? [09:14] donnie: Well, describe it first [09:14] what to do when ubuntu installer is not detecting the free space ? [09:14] I'm starting to run sluggish. All I have open is Chrome, and audacious. How come I'm freezing up, and my fan goes into crazy mode? [09:14] vrnithin: tell some more details, please [09:14] vrnithin: such as hardware configuration etc. [09:14] i was trying to install ubuntu 12.10 out side windows 7 [09:14] donnie: Open any kind of task manager and see what's consuming CPU time and memory. [09:15] donnie: htop, for example [09:15] vrnithin: that means that u have windows on one partition and some space free on the HDD? [09:15] is there a windowed task manager out there? [09:15] ya [09:15] theadmin: be nice if it'd stop bouncing around :) [09:15] I really miss "task manager" from windows [09:16] guideX: Yeah, all Ubuntu versions come with one built-in. [09:16] guideX: never say something like that on this channel, never! [09:16] badday: but i cant check select that free space for making a ext4 root and swap [09:17] oh didn't know about the built in one [09:17] vrnithin: tell me something about the partition sheme of ur HDD please [09:17] Isn't swap supposed to be a way of allowing things to move around freely and not clog stuff up? [09:17] badday: i have 3 partitions in windows one C D E [09:17] donnie: Sorta... But slowness is often caused by an extensive CPU use. [09:17] vrnithin: Er. Are they all primary? [09:17] badday: ya [09:18] theadmin:ya [09:18] vrnithin: Well then, you can only create one more partition, you don't have enough free partitions for two more. [09:18] vrnithin: So here's what you do: make an extended partition, put the swap and root inside it. [09:19] theadmin: when i tried to create one partition from my free space its showing some warning about dynamic disc or something [09:19] I could use PCBSD.. I heard that's fast and light [09:19] guideX, try htop [09:19] vrnithin: That doesn't tell me anything, I'd need the exact warning... [09:20] I like htop, but it'd be nice if it were a windowed app [09:20] donnie: You could try Xubuntu. That's light. Or Lubuntu. [09:20] something with a real listbox [09:20] guideX: Search for "Task Manager" in the menus. You most certainly have one. [09:20] theadmin. I am on xubuntu and that's why I'm surprised it's going sluggish [09:20] hmm ok [09:20] donnie: Hm... yeah that's odd [09:20] guideX: Well, if it's a default Ubuntu install, it'd be gnome-task-manager [09:20] guideX: On Xfce it's xfce4-task-manager [09:21] Err, xfce4-taskmanager [09:21] !info gnome-taskmanger [09:21] Package gnome-taskmanger does not exist in quantal [09:21] !info gnome-task-manager [09:21] Package gnome-task-manager does not exist in quantal [09:21] Eh. [09:21] when i type task manager it doesn't come up [09:21] guideX: Actually, it's gnome-system-monitor, my bad [09:21] in the dash menu [09:21] ah ok [09:21] theadmin: when i tried to create a partition in ubuntu installation time i cant select the free space [09:22] htop just cool [09:22] theadmin: is it because i have already 3 primary partition ? [09:22] http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/how-to-use-xfce4-terminal-06x-as-drop.html << remember me of yakuake kde application [09:22] aha... [09:22] system monitor is good [09:22] vrnithin: You have 3 primary partitions... That's too many, Ubuntu needs root and swap and root has to be a primary so... [09:22] has the list of programs, and a "kill it" button :) === adrian is now known as Guest40259 [09:23] vrnithin: Well, you could do a manual partitioning and go without swap, if you have enough RAM for that. [09:24] theadmin: i have 4 gb ram [09:24] theadmin: but i cant even create root [09:24] vrnithin: Well, that's more than enough. Just a side note, you won't be able to hibernate without swap. [09:24] vrnithin: Huh. That's odd, to say the least. How much free space do you have? [09:25] guideX: Just so you know, htop reacts to mouse input too === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [09:25] morning all, iv just installed Ubuntu 12 onto my Laptop, im just wondering how can i change this left hand dock [09:25] hi, theadmin i fixed it, i found my /default/locale changed, but i not sure it was changed by the gnome-language-selector or it was changed by dpkg-reconfigure locales because i had forgotten to check the contents of /etc/default/locale after ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure lacales [09:25] so that iv got icons left to right on my screen [09:25] well yeah, but system monitor was exactly what I was looking for [09:26] lundy: Unfortunately there's no way to move the Unity dock around yet :/ Crazy thing. [09:26] If user forget password for ssh login and tries for say 10 times before successfully login, will denyhosts ban his ip address? [09:26] anyway of removing it or changing my desktop [09:27] lundy: You can change your desktop. I suggest trying Xfce for an uncluttered user experience, click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/xubuntu-desktop [09:27] oo geany looks nice [09:28] kk [09:28] !purexfce | lundy, also see this for removing the packages from plain Ubuntu: [09:28] lundy, also see this for removing the packages from plain Ubuntu:: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [09:29] theadmin: 50 gb [09:29] vrnithin: Huh. Okay, now I'm confused. [09:29] theadmin: i made that 50 gb by shrinking of of my primary partition [09:30] If user forget password for ssh login and tries for say 10 times before successfully login, will denyhosts ban his ip address? [09:30] how do I install the wifi drivers for my mac mini in ubuntu? I can't use ethernet as a heads up. [09:30] vrnithin: Shouldn't matter where it came from :D [09:31] theadmin: why cant i do anything on that free space ? [09:31] theadmin: i changed the order of language via gnome-language-selector, then i ran sudo update-locale, but locale still not changed. Then I cat /etc/default/locale, i found the content was different from before: some other LC_* added, so i changed LANGUAGE to en_US:en:zh_CN and sudo update-locale . now it work [09:32] vrnithin: Honestly no idea. [09:33] theadmin: so whats to do to install Ubuntu ...i dont want it along windows [09:33] vrnithin: So, you want to destroy Windows? Then just delete the Windows partitions (unless you have important data, then back that up) and install Ubuntu on the empty drive [09:35] im looking for cloud which offers great storage for free or very cheap... Google and DropBox just ant good storage for the price ... [09:35] anyone know any [09:35] theadmin: i want both..:) [09:35] lundy: tried Ubuntu 1? [09:35] 5gb free ? [09:35] lundy: yep [09:36] ill need like 300gb :/ [09:36] theadmin: thank you for you help! [09:36] I did try "owncloud" and installed onto my web server... but the desktop client is crap for windows, dont think it will be much good on linux [09:37] lundy: why do you need 300GB in the cloud? [09:37] Rip003, music, video, documents ... [09:38] lundy: is it just to sync across your home? it might be worth looking at a router that hooks up to an external drive? [09:38] Rip003: There's sparkleshare for syncing across computers without the need of actual storage. Part of the GNOME project. [09:39] Rip003, that would cost cash which I dont have at the moment [09:39] Rip003: Or owncloud, for installing on your own server. [09:39] I used owncloud on my web server [09:40] but the windows client kept coming up "cannot sync a file" [09:40] this rocks [09:40] owncloud [09:40] just found that it wasnt up to the standard of Google Drive or DropBox [09:42] lundy: I don't know what to suggest then, I can't think of a cloud service that'll offer that sort of space without charging [09:42] how to enable ufw on remove server? I am connected to that server via ssh and if I enable ufw, it will stop my ssh. Is it possible to allow ssh before enabling ufw? [09:42] Rip003, i was thinking about turning my old PC into a server but dunno if the WIfe will let me ... as it will bump up our electric bill [09:43] vedic: sudo ufw allow ssh [09:43] theadmin: that will enable as well as allow ssh? [09:43] lundy: you could do that I guess, you don't have to leave it running all the time just switch it on when you need it, a pain but saves the electric [09:43] theadmin: currently ufw is not active [09:43] vedic: It won't enable UFW yet, just create the rule. [09:44] vedic: You can enable it later. [09:44] ok [09:44] Rip003, was thinking that .. [09:44] vedic: Just "sudo ufw enable" for that. [09:44] anyone here have a thinkpad x1 carbon [09:44] or anyone here dual boot iwndows 8 with grub? [09:45] theadmin: yea that has worked. Thank you === ben__ is now known as nb-ben [09:45] lundy: that's more practical than forking out for masses of cloud storage and you already know it works [09:46] theadmin: How to disallow all other ports? ufw verbose shows that 22 is allowed from anywhere but no information about disallowed [09:46] vedic: sudo ufw default deny incoming [09:46] Rip003, yeah but wot software would the server run off to have the cloud on it? [09:47] lundy: you mean your old pc? haven't a clue, don't mess with networks an awful lot, don't understand ssh and all that jazz [09:48] ah kk, i know enough to get me past [09:48] theadmin: That has changed the default incoming to deny. But ufw status or verbose shows only 22 allowed. No mention of any other thing [09:48] vedic: Well, yes, that's how it is. Those are the rules you have, currently you have only ssh, that is, port 22 allowed for incoming, anything else blocked. [09:48] hey [09:49] theadmin: I see [09:49] vedic: Creating rules for *every* port is just too much, so that's what the default rule is for. [09:49] ok [09:49] how do you setup a hostname in ubuntu? [09:49] theadmin: If user forget password for ssh login and tries for say 10 times before successfully login, will denyhosts ban his ip address? [09:50] in windows, I would edit the "hosts" file [09:50] the ubuntu installer seems to create mbr partion, is it a problem i i give him a gpt partioned disk (and so not repartitoning it at install) ? [09:50] !hostname | guideX [09:50] guideX: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [09:50] if i* [09:50] guideX: /etc/hosts is the hosts file on Ubuntu. Same format as on Windows. [09:50] ah ok [09:50] cool thx [09:50] !gpt [09:50] I hope to almighty Linus that this guide I found for my mac's wifi works [09:50] guideX: Well, it's easier to just update /etc/hostname and reboot, it will auto-update hosts [09:51] that's what i'll do [09:51] Does ubuntu12.04 use lightdm as the default or gdm [09:52] BlackWeb: lightdm [09:52] BlackWeb: On Kubuntu, it's KDM, but lightdm for all others. Since 12.10, lightdm is default on all Ubuntu versions. [09:52] oh you've gotta be kidding me [09:52] sorry to seem a noob here but iv installed Xubuntu desktop but dunno how to enable it [09:52] I've been trying to change the login screen for a long timenow I've googled all possible solutions and seems like nothing works [09:52] the b43-fwcutter deb packaged on the cd requires an internet connection? [09:53] lundy: Log out, click the sessions icon, choose "Xubuntu Session" and log in. [09:53] :/ [09:53] man i just want to load w8 from grub with xubuntu [09:53] this stupid UEFI thing is so annoying, id install windows 7 if this laptop didnt come with w8 and had a nice system recovery suite [09:53] I'm using 12.04 so its uses it also as default I have gdm installed If I was to remove lightdm then would I'd run into problems with the system? [09:54] BlackWeb: No, there won't be any problem... Just make sure to keep at least some login manager installed [09:54] Would lightdm be the problem to why the login screen wont change? [09:54] change in what way? [09:55] guys how do I install b43-fwcutter offline? [09:55] hi, i extended path variable by include a .sh file in /etc/profile.d/ but the added paths in that file are not found when i do sudo [command], they work okay when i don't acces them as root [09:56] btw i am trying to use 'go' compiler but it isn't found using 'sudo go' but 'go' works [09:56] cocomo: You'd need to update the PATH systemwide for it to work with root, use /etc/environment for that. [09:56] theadmin: okay ty [09:56] why would a compiler need to run as root? [09:57] dr_willis: For crazy commands like "go get". [09:57] dr_willis: it get the files from internet and probably saves it somewhere the root has only access to [09:57] dr_willis: Compilers nowadays :/ They come with package managers, debuggers, crazy stuff [09:57] no idea what go is then. ;) [09:57] !info go [09:57] Package go does not exist in quantal [09:57] go is a no go [09:57] dr_willis: The compiler for Google's "go" language.

[10:01] rigel: please language and patience [10:01] the ubuntu installer seems to create mbr partion, is it a problem if i give him a gpt partioned disk (and so not repartitoning it at install) ? [10:02] if the disk is alllready partioned i would think it would keep the type [10:02] how do I install b43-fwcutter offline? [10:02] you can install to gpt partioned disks from what ive seen.. - never really tried it here. [10:03] !b43 [10:03] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:03] no of course, i meant could ubuntu could have general issue with gpt? [10:03] ok [10:03] we should [10:04] Rip003: the askubuntu.com site may have a more spcific guide also.. I got a $5 usb wireless dongls that dosent need extra drivers.. so for a friends laptop with b43 i just used that dongle to get teh files [10:04] i don't get why ubuntu eliminates non-pae system and still use mbr by defayult [10:04] dr_willis: but the drivers do work once they get installed? [10:05] Rip003: i imagine it depends on your exact chipset.. those b4xxx can be a pain [10:05] dr_willis: I think it's the 4301 in the mac mini [10:05] for under $20 you can get wireless dongles that are fully supported out of the box. ;) [10:06] got a 150speed one for $5 [10:07] hi guys. If I make a clone of my ubuntu partition (which is not the only one on the disk, nor the first) to another disk to resize it and then copy it back, what do I have to be sure remains unchanged in order to boot? === omega_ is now known as Guest47388 [10:08] dr_willis: I have a dongle in the house, don't know if it's supported and I don't know where it is [10:08] make sure the uuids stay the same erupter [10:08] dr_willis: I don't particularly want to have to buy one for the sake of installing drivers [10:08] Rip003: came in handy on several occasions here. [10:09] one of the best $5 i spent [10:09] Does anyone know why when I use x11 forwarding, it looks different than the same program run locally? (the x11 version looks "older") [10:09] erupter: the first 512bytes of the drive (not the partition) are important [10:09] erupter: and of course the partition itself [10:09] Guest47388: whats differnt? the fonts? the window decorations? [10:09] Both [10:09] even how bold the lines are in the application [10:10] Guest47388: its using plain X instead of the theme and so on you are using normally [10:10] Guest47388: so the theme on the real machine will not be used, its just plain x [10:10] Anyway to tell the server to use not plain x? [10:10] it uses the theme and settings on the local box? ive never really noticed [10:11] hi [10:11] howdy [10:11] Ok... so theme up the localbox... now that shouldn't be too hard... [10:11] has anyone with w8 dual boot used boot repair here [10:11] Thanks both of you! [10:12] does anyone know the dpkg command for setting the default desktop manager? [10:12] iceroot, well say I change the number of the partition, would it boot? [10:12] Question...is the UCP still an active cert? [10:12] iceroot, it would most probably also change the uuid [10:12] so that at least I must update in the fstab/boot config [10:13] erupter: reinstalling grub after that i guess i needed [10:13] erupter: and yes /etc/fstab also needs an update [10:14] hello [10:16] Rip003: if you find your dongle this might helpto determine compatibility ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [10:17] Tex_Nick: pretty sure it's a TP-Link but dunno what model lol [10:19] Rip003: i understand ... this lists TP-Link models ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link#USB ... good luck :-) [10:20] Tex_Nick: lol, found it, it's the model right at the top [10:21] Rip003: jeeze you have good Karma ... had it been me ... would have been at bottom of a LONG list ... ;-) [10:23] Tex_Nick: I just hope the wifi works once the drivers install [10:25] Tex_nick: uh oh, looks like wherever it's trying to download the firmware from doesn't exist anymore, keeps timing out [10:28] is the ati driver broken for dual monitors in ubuntu 12.04? [10:29] Rip003: what ubuntu release? [10:29] ubuntu 12.04 [10:29] dr_willis: quantal [10:29] hmmm.. odd [10:30] did yu do a sudo apt-get update first? [10:30] join #ati [10:30] dr_willis: it's not the ppa timing out it's this lwfinger.com where it's trying to download the tarbz2 from [10:30] no idea then.. could be the sites down. or somthing i guess... [10:32] Rip003: you said the model was at the top of the list ... is it the TL-WN321G ?

That's what the version numbers mean, year.month [11:23] hello [11:23] I know but alpha? [11:23] test___: #ubuntu+1 for the discussion of unreleased versions, not here [11:23] the live version for ppc is it only lubuntu ? [11:24] hey i'm running apt-get upgrade and i get The following packages cannot be authenticated! for libnacl-optimized.. now that sounds kinda scary for something that involves ACLs .. any idea why i'm getting the message, if i should continue or what i can do to fix the issues [11:25] hi guys just loaded xubuntu-desktop .... loaded it up and selected "blank profile" :/ how can i load the default template ? [11:25] thoughtfulgoblin: Are you using any third-party repositories (aka PPAs)? [11:25] I'm not sure, it's a default VM [11:25] from my provider.. is there anyway i can check? [11:26] thoughtfulgoblin: Is there anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [11:26] pitti-postgresql-precise.list [11:26] just that [11:26] lundy: Well, you could remove ~/.xfce4/, but just right-click the panel and add whatever you feel necessary, that's more customization for you [11:26] theadmin: inside that file it has deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pitti/postgresql/ubuntu precise main [11:27] thoughtfulgoblin: ...This repo is odd [11:27] theadmin, i want the default one as a template ... [11:27] thoughtfulgoblin: But well, that's not what's causing the problem. [11:27] then ill customize it over time [11:28] lundy: Then remove ~/.xfce4 and re-login [11:28] theadmin: hmmm.. right it looks like that's what it's using for postgres.. but i thought postgres would be in the standard list of packages [11:28] theadmin, im not that good a this stuff just yet :P [11:28] thoughtfulgoblin: "libnacl-optimized" is not in the default repos for Precise, so it must come from that PPA. Assuming that, it should be normal for such an issue to arise. [11:29] lundy: rm -r ~/.xfce4 # Run this from a terminal [11:29] rm: cannot remove `/home/lundy/.xfce': No such file or directory [11:29] theadmin: normal for it complain that it can't authenticate the pacakage? [11:29] i'm assuming libnacl is for getfacl and setfacl [11:29] thoughtfulgoblin: It's from a third-party repo, and it seems you just don't have the key for that repo. So yeah, normal. [11:29] thoughtfulgoblin: Nah, those come from the "acl" package. [11:30] theadmin, would this be it? /usr/share/xfce4/panel [11:30] oh :/ why would i have this thing installed then [11:30] lundy: No, ~/.xfce4 (~ is your home directory) [11:30] lundy: Oh, my bad, it's ~/.config/xfce4 [11:30] worked out what it was from :) [11:31] God those people love to move things around [11:31] some tunneling app called quicktun :) [11:31] lundy@Laptop:~$ ls [11:31] Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos [11:31] Documents examples.desktop Pictures Templates [11:31] L( [11:31] :) lol [11:31] lundy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Also, yay, an i3 user :P [11:33] how do I install the oracle SDK [11:33] theadmin, the fonts are all jagged [11:33] Industrial: Oh, you may need the Microsoft fonts, dunno [11:33] anyone have the isight.fw file for the macbook 4.1 model?

I was asking about the availability of SUN JDK in apt-get because I could not find it [11:36] !java [11:36] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [11:36] how do you block all outgoing connections from a server so that someone with root access still can not make an outgoing connection? put it on a private network and proxy it? [11:37] Industrial: Well, the Oracle/Sun java are not in the Ubuntu repositories [11:37] Industrial: So you have to get them from java.com and manually install. Quite a bother if you ask me :/ [11:37] yeah:\ [11:37] theres unofficial ppa's and repos that have scripts to automate it.. [11:38] nice of oracle to be so supportive of linux [11:38] dr_willis: Well, Sun had a partnership with Canonical which allowed them to provide Sun Java in the repos, but Oracle didn't prolong that. [11:38] dr_willis: Or something along those lines I'm no lawyer, dunno the details :P [11:38] anyone could upload for me the AppleUSBVideoSupport file for ubuntu? my macbook is a 4.1 model [11:39] the whole idea of 'you must download this from us...... even tho we give it away freely' is just silly [11:39] dr_willis, corporate interest is usually silly. [11:39] 'because some guy in a suit said so' :) [11:42] dont get me ranting on the current annoyance i have with coportate anti-copying meaasures on such Highly Pirated DVDs as... lets see..

[11:44] skock : is this related to iSight ? [11:45] Hmm. I see i got a kernel update today.. and its also installing kernel-headers to match the kernel.. Now Just yesterday someone was having issues with his system NOT installing the headers for new kernels.. breaking his video drivers... [11:45] was he confused about this? or was it somthing other then headers he needed? [11:45] dr_willis: The whole kernel upgrade mechanism on Ubuntu is quite odd. [11:46] dr_willis: It might have happened that he removed linux-headers-generic (which is possible and does NOT remove the actual headers, just stops them from upgrading), so... [11:46] yea. i recall him saying every time he got a new kernel.. his X or wifi drivers would break. [11:48] hi hi [11:48] yes Tex_Nick === john___ is now known as JohnSnowstorm [11:49] skock : see if this helps ... http://turanct.wordpress.com/tag/appleusbvideosupport/ [11:50] yes Tex_Nick the link doesnt work [11:50] :( [11:51] oh this is going to take some getting used to coming from windows :/ [11:52] skock : you mean ... http://turanct.wordpress.com/tag/appleusbvideosupport/ ... doesn't work ?

[12:01] POVaddct, dev/ is a folder that always exists, it's just the target folder when I mount. [12:01] It's where I mount onto [12:01] pkg-config question: can anybody think of a way to justify the fact that I'm not seeing all the available libraries from a remote shell, while in local I see them? [12:01] ankr: you are mounting sshfs over /dev? what's the purpose? [12:01] ssa [12:02] sshfs over /dev? that wouldent seem possible. [12:02] dr_willis: i thought so [12:02] I make a /home/username/SSHfs for all mine to go into. ;) [12:02] and a script to remount them all when i login [12:02] dr_willis: POVaddct i guess he uses $HOME/dev not /dev [12:03] POVaddct, ~/code/dev [12:03] ankr: ah okay [12:03] ankr: sudo fusermount -u ~/code/dev [12:03] here we are in a day and age when we can have 100000+ character filenames.. and people still use shortcuts. ;) [12:03] llutz: i was just about to suggest that :) === Guest24700 is now known as DaZ [12:03] Does Ubuntu support installation on NTFS at all?

[12:04] POVaddct: the mountpoint always exist [12:04] llutz: but not the mount itself [12:05] POVaddct: ~/code/dev is the mountpoint, not the content [12:05] Hello, what's the best way to get up-to-date AMD graphics drivers without sacrificing apt-based updating? [12:06] (Also, are the open source drivers or the proprietary ones better for video playback?) [12:06] llutz: i know that. but fusermount -u implies that a *mount* still exists [12:06] I've got an Ubuntu 12.04 Server headless box. After a hard-reboot, it displays a GRUB menu and won't boot until i attach a display and a keyboard and ask him to. How do i make him boot automatically even after a hard-reboot? [12:07] Dark_Apostrophe: proprietary are much better for anything and everything [12:07] or its clearing out some old stale settings/pid files for the fuser stuff... [12:07] Figured as much - but more of a pain as far as updates go? [12:07] dr_willis: correct [12:07] lolmaus: you can configure grub from /boot [12:07] llutz: ah okay [12:08] Dark_Apostrophe: just stick to the ones in the repos.. they should be the most useable and least prone to breaking.

[12:09] or it may be choppy and not due to the ati drivers.. but compiz issues [12:09] dr_willis: No, but with very new hardware, there's a good chance they may be [12:09] Hmm... that's a good point. [12:09] with very new hardware.. you are going tobe prone to more breakage problems [12:10] Is there a way for VLC to auto-disable compiz when it starts?

[12:13] zykotick9: i solved the issue with emacs in text mode: just 'emacs -nw filename' , no need to install emacs-nox [12:13] Dark_Apostrophe, i'm not sure of other ways of doing it.. but on my setup of gnome / cairo-dock i have a composit button on my system tray that i can click to turn compiz on and off...

[12:21] hmm.. Ok.. amazon is getting on my nerves.. trying to watch prime videos - they say 'dont use chrome' use ff.. well i was using ff.. now trying google-chrome and i get this... [12:21] If you're using the Chrome browser with Linux, you must disable PPAPI to continue using Amazon Instant Video. You can also use a different Web [12:21] Dark_Apostrophe: ahhh ok thanks for the feedback ... FYI i,ve done a couple of cheap builds with that APU using a relatively cheap MoBo (ECS) they run 1080p videos without issues, while multitasking [12:21] What is PPAPI? [12:21] hey fellas installed my Nvidia graphic but when i goto dash menu its gets slow wat should i do? [12:22] Tex_Nick: I've got a forum post and pictures of my setup, if you're interested === mint is now known as Visitor___ [12:22] drmagoo? [12:22] I at least partially figures out the problem. MBR partition tables want 4 partitions, but i have like 6. when i run gptsync, it finds my 3 linux partitions and the mac efi partition on top. is there a way to dictate to gptsync which partitions i want it to see for the mbr partition table? [12:23] Dark_Apostrophe: hey would really like to have a look at that :-) [12:23] so in xchat is there a way to setup Auto auth to NIckServ? [12:23] lundy: Yes. its in the server se4ttings i recall. or you can do an on connect command [12:23] Please? [12:24] lundy yes [12:24] cant seem to find it [12:24] oh wait [12:24] got it [12:24] lundy: its where it says "nickserv password" [12:25] take it Connect Command is for auto join channels? [12:25] no wait fav channels is [12:25] connect command is just that, runs whatever on connect [12:26] So I have the worst problem [12:26] Qasaur: get a new computer [12:26] getting there :P thanks guys your very helpful :D [12:26] Ben64, is there a way to make it wait a min before casting that command.. or making it do a command on channel connect instead :-p [12:26] like a sleep() feature [12:26] Qasaur: What is "the worst problem"? [12:26] MBR partition tables want 4 partitions, but i have like 6. when i run gptsync, it finds my 3 linux partitions and the mac efi partition on top. is there a way to dictate to gptsync which partitions i want it to see for the mbr partition table? [12:26] Ben64, [12:26] well [12:26] Okay [12:26] this problem right [12:26] Qasaur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:27] because that has always been my issue with connection commands.. i guess i'm going to have to write a script for what i want to do :-p [12:27] !enter | Qasaur [12:27] Qasaur: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:27] Visitor___: you might want to explain what that means [12:27] My built in soundcard won't work, I have to use my USB headsets because I can't plugin my normal headphones into the headphone jack [12:27] l057c0d3r_: possibly [12:27] This is a laptop by the way. Another problem is that the CD drive won't work === l057c0d3r_ is now known as l057c0d3r [12:27] Qasaur: thats not the worst [12:27] Ben64, well it worked on Windows but stops working on Linux no matter what distro I use [12:28] Qasaur: Which is neither vital, elementary nor "worse" :) [12:28] qasaur what flavor of linux are you using right now [12:28] Fine, :P [12:28] l057c0d3r, Ubuntu 12.04 [12:28] hmm..

[12:29] so thats OS installed and updated hmmm now wot apps can I install [12:29] Qasaur: Does it stop working or did it never work on Ubuntu? [12:29] I know in older versions of alsa you had to configure it for a laptop type or it would play through both the speakers and headphones jacks hehe [12:30] bekks, never worked on Ubuntu [12:30] phoenixsampras: By starting windows and repair it from there. [12:30] and if you have an hdmi output on your computer.. make sure in the sound settings you have the hdmi output off.... and built in card enabled [12:30] Anti-Virus recommended for Ubuntu ?

[12:49] within seconds it went to 38 and now is at 37% [12:50] aw. compiling source to package is not fun [12:50] maybe it didn't have a full charege to start ?

[12:58] i have to admit.. i still like gnome after all these years.. however i hope they never get rid of there gnome(classic) because i am deffinently not a fan of this metro style stuff [12:58] find . -iname "*.jpg" --exec mv {} /my/dir/ \; but that will only copy the files [12:58] move the files . . . [12:59] i'm pretty sure i need to write a script [12:59] you might want #bash [12:59] l057c0d3r, thats cool [13:00] only reason i use ubuntu is for the kernel / apt [13:00] Ben64, agreed, but i might do it in ruby since i know that pretty well [13:00] and because of wubi [13:00] and apt is the big winner there.... [13:00] bonhoeffer: i meant the irc channel === marco is now known as Guest6176 [13:01] i remove everything else that comes with it.. do what i want with the system.... but ubuntu.. is by far my fav system.... gentoo a close second... although a lot harder to work with...

[13:13] One question. [13:14] In which repo is this? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/nitro/ [13:14] (deb line) [13:14] http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/ I used Tomasz's trick, outlined at the bottom there to install it [13:14] Catbuntu: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cooperjona/nitrotasks [13:15] why software update in the GUI app shows more updates that are not shown by apt-ge upgrade? [13:15] flintser: sudo apt-get update [13:15] Sorry about the wait. I posted it in another IRC by accident. [13:15] flintser, by default it's using the PPA?

[13:17] pje335_NL: we really dont have inside info ;) [13:17] Catbuntu: if it is in software manager and you can install it it is somewhere in the default repos i think [13:17] pje335_NL: you may want to check/post the question at askubuntu.com [13:17] Yes, but the odd thing is that it doesn't appear on packages.ubuntu.com [13:17] And the bot can't find it, too. [13:17] ow oke i wil do that:) [13:17] thank you for helping me out:) [13:18] Catbuntu: i dont know much about these things but maybe because it is proprietary? [13:18] mpmc: tryed the nomodeset option yet? weird that an thinkpad would bneed it... [13:18] pje335_NL: new software versions come with new ubuntu releases. so there might be no update after that [13:18] Yep. [13:18] But where are the propietary packages? [13:19] where? if you add their repository. they show up in the package manager tools listings [13:19] dr_willis: I have selected it in the other options at the install screen, but it doesn't have any effect. [13:19] the propietary packages? [13:19] k1l: so in 13.04? [13:19] mpmc: there used to be a fairly active thinkpad forum on the ubuntu forums..

[13:45] Qasaur: the default apps [13:45] xubuntu-desktop is the full xubuntu package.. with extras,, [13:45] things xfce may not include [13:45] well if I want to use XFCE [13:45] what should I download? [13:46] dr_willis from http://www.thumbnailme.com/ [13:46] Qasaur: xfce4 [13:46] i would just install the xubuntu-desktop package [13:46] I want to completely replace Unity [13:47] Qasaur: there is also KDE out there [13:47] Qasaur: don't bother removing unity, it will cause you headaches [13:47] mike160: the current windows version of thumbnailme seems to be 3.0 while that linux deb is version 2.1 looks like it dosent get much linux support... [13:47] auronandace, what do you mean? [13:47] ioria, KDE is a little too bloated for me [13:47] I prefer GTK antway [13:47] anyway* [13:48] Qasaur: install the other desktops.. and try them... dont bother removeing them unless you get tight on hd space. [13:48] Qasaur: lxde maybe [13:48] where are my lulz im here [13:48] Qasaur: just install xfce and use it, no need to remove unity (which will drag a ton of dependencies with it) [13:48] auronandace, I see, [13:49] yeah i know [13:49] mike160: from the errors the software center just gave.. it seems the guy dosent know much about packageing things for linux.. if you need that app badly.. you could try the windows binary in wine. [13:49] but i had it install befor it just cant get it to work now [13:50] This is what i get when i start eclipse in ubuntu 12.04 "An error has occurred. See the log file [13:50] /home/hillary/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/configuration/1359899298456.log." [13:50] Where could be the mess? [13:50] i tryed the windows one with wine wont run [13:51] hillary: read the log file [13:51] mike160: well im not even going to try to install it here to test it... sorry [13:51] np [13:51] auronandace, I seem not to be understanding pleas [13:51] why software update in the GUI app shows more updates that are not shown by apt-ge upgrade? [13:52] hillary: you've just posted exactly where the log file is [13:52] !dist-upgrade | xkernel [13:52] xkernel: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention.

[13:54] auronandace, I have located what do i do with it? [13:54] xkernel: i'd assume so yes, because that deals with dependencies [13:55] hillary: its a log file, you read it [13:55] auronandace, thanks. why the un-supported updates are by default checked in the software sources?

I have /home and / on seperate partitions. If I put the 12.10 CD back in to re-install, and select reformat for / but not /home, would that reinstall 12.10, but leave my homedir alone? [14:32] JonEdney: yes [14:32] iceroot, Thank you. I assumed, but wanted to confirm before I did the needful. [14:32] bonhoeffer: If you want a more automated system, Clonezilla is also good.

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [16:41] I copied the folders from my home folder on my mac onto this stick. I can't access these folders and files now b/c I don' thave permissions. [16:41] Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit [16:42] I used root access in Nautilus to copy the folders to my desktop, but still I can't do anything else with them, no permissions. [16:42] Terminal: when you unplugged it from the mac, did you safely remove it in software before physically unplugging [16:42] yes, I always do. [16:43] terminal: if you hadn't copied them as root, you'd have ownership [16:43] They work perfectly on Mac, just not here. And the Mac is sold. [16:43] Hello [16:43] Terminal: you will need to use chown in terminal to assign ownership to your user [16:43] Can you type the exact command? I don't know terminal. [16:44] I got a problem. Each time I install the propiertary driver for my Hybrid Intel and Radeon 3650 graphics card, applications like steam refuse to start. [16:44] Any advise? [16:44] Terminal: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/Desktop/* [16:44] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1605014/ [16:44] Terminal: run that exact command [16:45] Nils: avoid hybrid graphics [16:45] That's a bit too late [16:45] The files and folders have to be in the desktop right? [16:45] I'm in Root Nautilus. [16:45] Nils_: may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [16:46] Terminal: just run the command, when did anyone advise to run nautilus? [16:46] hi everyone [16:46] F3Speech: try do add : dns-search example.com dns-nameservers 78.46.86.74 212.117.175.185 (or your preferred) [16:46] Nils_: I've never seen a success with that switchable mess [16:47] Did not work. [16:47] Only in "Root Nautilus", are the folders and files visible and off of the stick. [16:47] F3Speech: on two lines [16:48] I think this is becuase I copied the actual "Home Folder" files in Mac to the disk, I should have made my own folders. [16:48] Terminal: run: ls -la ~/Desktop what is output please. Use http://pastie.org to host the output [16:48] ioria: example.com? [16:49] F3Speech: yes, it doesn't mind for now [16:49] thanks [16:51] Did not work. I can only see these files in Root Nautilus. I can't copy or move them anywhere else. Those commands did not work either. "Permission Denied" [16:51] F3Speech: don't forget to restart the network service [16:51] ioria: ok ping google works now [16:51] how can i use unity 2d insted of unity 3d in QQ , how to manually install it !!! [16:51] whats the example.com line all about should havbe me my local domain name? [16:52] F3Speech: try the browser and others stuff to be sure [16:52] Yourimym1: I already answered you [16:52] ioria: its server install [16:52] F3Speech: oh... [16:53] Yourimym1: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/quantal/main/base/unity-2d [16:53] ioria: but since there 2 of me in this channel we can assume its working the other is my server bnc [16:53] I can only bring the files from the USB Stick to the computer when using Root Nautilus, but I can't do anything else with them. [16:54] F3Speech: ok.... maybe ask the long beards for more details about your problem [16:54] Terminal: can you give the output I asked for please [16:55] Action: what output? [16:55] Terminal: do you see the files on you user desktop? [16:55] No, just when in gksudo nautilus === F3Speech_ is now known as F3Speech [16:56] Terminal: then you have put them on root's desktop, not your users as you are running the app as root [16:56] Does anyone know that why this command works wells in bash but does not work in cron: wget -O $(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M").jpg -q -t 1 "http://..." [16:57] I can do that, but then how would I move them to a hard disk, or my user file? I want to unlock them completely. [16:57] Terminal: this is one reason to not run nautilus as root, it confuses new users [16:57] hi, how do I check which flashversion I have installed? It's been awhile since I maintained an ubuntu system (working in gentoo nowadays) and I'm not exactly keen on how it works here [16:57] lol I was told on here to run in root by someone. [16:57] Terminal: cut the files then navigate to /home/your username/Desktop [16:58] Terminal: I don't recommend it, it causes more effort [16:58] terminal: I prefer to work in root when I have the privs :P [16:58] alimj, cron does not run jobs in a shell [16:58] Action: permission denied. [16:59] Won't allow cut/paste. [16:59] Terminal: put the files in your user home then run the chown command [16:59] arvut: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [16:59] I can't get them into my user home at all. [16:59] Root home I can. [16:59] hi all want to point out if play mu that new server http://unlimitedmu.biz medium server is opened [17:00] escott: Do you know anyway to timestamp files in cron? [17:00] alimj, if you want to run it in a shell. then make a shell script for it [17:01] Terminal: you can, you need to go up a folder til you see 'home' then go into your user's folder [17:01] hello world .. anybody familiar with missing flash plugins issues (12.04, on Chrome) === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [17:01] escott: The file I want to download is dynamically changed every 5 minutes, I need cron [17:01] alimj, so have cron call the shell script [17:02] alimj, also every 5 minutes it too frequent to be calling cron IMHO. look at using one of the filesystem event tools [17:02] alimj: escott is suggesting you put your logic in a shell script and then just use cron to call the shell script. You might try giving the full path to wget though, I think what you have should work otherwise... [17:02] I'm at home. My users home. [17:03] Terminal: paste the files [17:03] Permission Denied. [17:03] alimj: alternatively, use this: bash -c "whateveryouwantbutmakesurethequotationmarsareescapedproperly" [17:03] alimj, if you install inotify tools then you can trigger a push on file creation from the remote side [17:03] jrib: I will try that. Thanks [17:04] I only see the files in gksudo nautilus, then I cut, then navigate to my user folder, try to paste, and get error, permission denied. [17:04] Only the folders that were created by OSX are affected by this. [17:04] dstaubsauger: I need to know exactly which version I have installed, as the one that appearently is installed right now (probably the latest one) doesn̈́'t seem to work anymore. its a 10.04 system [17:04] terminal: please prefix what you say with the person's nick if you're speaking to someone specific [17:05] terminal, trying to cut from an OSX partition implies trying to delete. write mode for OSX partitions is only supported if the journal is disabled [17:05] Terminal: are they just files, or are there folders too [17:05] escot, dstaubsauger, jirib: will look into all those solutions, thanks [17:05] also, how do I remove old kernels? can I just delete them from boot and edit grub? or is there another preferable way to do it in ubuntu? [17:05] Action: folders and files. [17:06] arvut: you might laugh, but there's actually a firefox plugin that fixes flash m( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/ [17:06] Action: only ones that are affected are the ones that were created by OS X. But the files in those folders are affected as well [17:06] if you're using ff of cause [17:06] Terminal: sudo cp /root/Desktop ~/Desktop/Desktop [17:06] take a look at my blog and advise me to improve it http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/ [17:06] take a look at my blog and advise me to improve it http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/ [17:07] a11r: don't do that please [17:07] Action: ran it [17:07] allr no polls or solicitations here please [17:07] arvut: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ will tell you what version of flash you have. To remove old kernels, remove the corresponding linux-image* package in apt [17:08] Action: No effect. [17:08] Arvut: if you remove unused kernels it will clean up grub [17:08] Action: my user name is "matthew" in ubunto [17:08] News about twitter: http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/2013/02/twitter-hacked-and-250000-accounts.html [17:08] Terminal: you get the idea. [17:09] News about twitter: http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/2013/02/twitter-hacked-and-250000-accounts.html [17:09] a11r: that's way offtopic [17:09] Action: ? [17:09] a11r: ok, but do you have an Ubuntu support question [17:09] Terminal: use nautilus to copy to your users home folder and chown the files [17:10] News about twitter: http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/2013/02/twitter-hacked-and-250000-accounts.html [17:10] Action: Doesn't work. [17:10] News about twitter: http://pcandnettech.blogspot.in/2013/02/twitter-hacked-and-250000-accounts.html [17:10] can somebody please ban a11r? [17:11] God I wish I was smarter right now. [17:12] ActionParsnip: i tried the steps suggested... but those doesnot seems to work [17:12] hello [17:12] terminal: is root allowed to write in your user's home folder? [17:12] hello [17:13] Suniljoshi: that's all I know. I think compiz is a joke [17:13] dstuabsauger: How would I know that? I'm logged in as matthew now. [17:13] Suniljoshi: could try in #compiz [17:13] ActionParsnip: no problem and thanks a ton for your time and help :) [17:13] I see in the man pages that there is a difference in between upgrade and dist-upgrade. The later respecting dependecies versionning. right. So should I only use dist-upgrade? [17:14] dstaubsauger: isn't root normally above superusers in privs, and can therefor write anywhere? [17:14] terminal: sudo touch /home/matthew/test [17:14] Action/dstaub:I have two Nautilus windows open, matthew's and root's. Files are in root's. [17:14] ActionParsnip: One more thing, uninstalling it will solve the purpose ? [17:14] arvut: root does not neccessarily have write permissions, but it is always allowed to change those permissions [17:14] jil, i usually use upgrade until i get stuck, then use dist-upgrade [17:14] Jil: I use upgrade then dist-upgrade. Gets al updates [17:14] dstaubsauger: what did that command do? [17:15] jil, things that are dangerous (like swapping core libraries or upgrading apt itself) will get stuck behind the dist-upgrade [17:15] Suniljoshi: no, the settings will still stand, so it won't change anything [17:15] terminal: root created an empty file called "test" in your home directory [17:15] but then why two distincs commands? [17:15] dstaubsauger: I see.. sounds rather pointless to be logged in as root without all permissions anywhere in the system. kinda defeats the purpose of root [17:15] Suniljoshi: once again, the warnings on apps aren't there for fun [17:15] i have issues with my webcam. In w8 it works flawlessly while here in u12-04 i am not seen by my converser, i.e. the screen is green for him/her [17:15] sdausager: Negative. [17:15] whoever encountered that? [17:15] Fedor_: if yu run cheese, is it ok? [17:15] terminal, do you have encrypted home? [17:16] ActionParsnip: Totally agree!!! :) [17:16] yep [17:16] escott: yes [17:16] alimj: oh, and you need to escape percent signs because cron treats those as newlines apparently [17:16] That's the problem isn't it. [17:16] arvut, there are some special cases but generally root can do whatever he/she wants [17:16] Fedor_: correct colours etc? [17:16] ActionParsnip: Doing wrong things... will teach more .. else doing things in one go :) [17:16] is there a faster way to remove kernels than purging them one by one? I have around 30 to remove and only want to keep -45-generic and -44-generic [17:16] terminal, but you are logged in at the moment [17:16] escott: Yes. [17:16] is dist-upgrade a kind of super upgrade then, handling importante upgrades? in that case I should not run it as much as upgrade. But from the man it seems more secure.??? [17:17] ActionParsnip: But really appreciate your help and support :)!! [17:17] escott: As matthew [17:17] i do not get it. That occurs in flash-based applications. [17:17] arvut: depends if you can script it faster than you can type it out I guess. There's no built-in way that I know of if that's what you are asking [17:17] escott_, ActionParsnip, thx [17:17] terminal, and you were trying to "sudo touch /home/matthew/test" but couldn't [17:17] escott: yes. [17:17] Arvut: you can use wildcards, so if you have 2.xx kernels and a few 3.xx kernels, you can use an asterisk to remove more kernels in one step [17:17] terminal, that should work, but maybe there is something going on with the encrypted home [17:18] escott: how to unencrypt. [17:18] escott: i do'nt need it encrypted [17:18] Fedor_: ahhh, you use an nvidia gpu don't you? [17:18] jil, i have not read that portion of the man page, but in practice thats what i do [17:18] yes, that's right [17:19] but why than i should have troubles if cheese works properly [17:19] terminal try this: open nautilus, go to /home, right click matthew, give everybody all permissions, copy paste the files to mattew's desktop, revert permissions to what they used to be [17:19] jil: dist-upgrade just install new dependencies when package dependencies change. In practice the only packages I've seen do that is the linux-image-* packages for your kernel. The upgrade update-manager does is more similar to dist-upgrade [17:20] dstaubsauger: I don't see matthew in nautilus [17:20] jirin: scott_: It appears that using a bash script and calling it from cron works (both on my local Ubuntu and My Remote CentOS). [17:20] jil, do move to a non-encrypted home you just copy all the files except the ~/.Private folder to a new directory and then try to make that your home directory [17:20] Fedor: sudo mkdir /etc/adobe; echo "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0" | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg [17:20] jil, sorry [17:20] NM [17:20] terminal, do move to a non-encrypted home you just copy all the files except the ~/.Private folder to a new directory and then try to make that your home directory. but i dont think that should be your problem [17:20] escott_ no problem :) [17:21] hello, suppose you split your terminal in two, are those two foreground or two background processes? [17:21] with screen? [17:21] escott_: Now my question is why should I avoid it for every 5 minute? The file is small (170k) and the remote server is very fast [17:21] terminal: imo you should be pastebinning the result of the ls command ActionParsnip asked you about so that we have more information than "i tried 3 different things and they don't work somehow" [17:21] terminal: alternatively, copy the files to /tmp as root, and then copy them from there to your home directory as matthew [17:22] alimj, having cron wakeup every 5 minutes is a bit heavy. and you are still exposed to race conditions if the network slows [17:22] escott_: I am downloading traffic maps (in jpeg format) from a remote server. Map is updated every 5 minutes. I want to make a video from these maps later [17:22] jrib, if I understand correctly dist-upgrade is an advance upgrade and in that veine it has more chance to "bug" so I should use upgrade and eventually dist-upgrade when I am prompted to do so. [17:22] alimj, any reason you can't pull 20 files once an hour? [17:22] Fedor_: close all browsers and rerun. Should be ok [17:23] jil: I wouldn't call it that. It just allows for packages to change dependencies. But you can certainly use that as your update policy; it's sane. [17:23] alimj, 12 files... can't divide today [17:23] escott: I already explained my reasons above. the files are traffic maps [17:23] i will try it, but can you tell me if i should run one by one, or how, i mean should i copy altogether? [17:23] jil: the gui update manager does the equivalant of dist-upgrade [17:23] escott_: I want to make video of map changes later [17:23] Pastebinnin? [17:24] All: Trying now. [17:24] terminal: trying what? [17:24] escott_: I do not think that network speed and cpu load should be a problem. My remove server is very fast (Dual Core Xeon) and is connected to internet backbone [17:24] alimj, its your system, but if i were an admin and found someone waking up cron every 5 minutes i would hit them over the head with a frying pan for abusing the cron service [17:24] zykotick9, my fingers get quickly tired with the mouse ;) ... Anyway I get it cleared now. Thank you too jrib. === nuxninja is now known as t-1000 [17:25] escott_: The sever is all mine. I am the bad root! [17:25] dstaubsauger: Ok, no matter what method I try, Permission Denied, only on Mac OS X created folders, not ones I created. The files in those OS X Created folders are also affected by this. [17:26] dstaubsauger: I can only copy the files using root nautilus, and only using that. My disk is encrypted, and I would like to remove encryption as well. [17:27] terminal, are these files on an OSX disk? [17:27] escott_: I will monitor everything. Thanks for the help. Bye :) [17:27] escott: Yes. [17:27] escott: Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) [17:27] o/ Basically my audio is playing tricks with me. On some videos (flash internet or vlc/mplayer) I get no audio and on some others I get a weird sensation: perfectly clear background sounds...but no vocals/voices...I've checked my alsamixer and everything is bumped up to the max. What can I do to resolve this issue? I had Pulseaudio and then uninstalled it...What can I do? Troubleshoot me please! [17:27] terminal, as i mentioned earlier thats another concern. you may be able to read the files but you cannot cut and paste them because you cannot modify the OSX disk. nor can you write to other folders in the OSX disk [17:28] terminal, you need to run some of these terminal commands that you were given earlier before anyone can help you further [17:28] escott: I can move the folder to my roots desktop, but still I cannot access it. [17:28] escott: Can I have the commands again? I ran every single one. [17:29] terminal, ls -al $HOME; ls -al /path/to/files/you/want/to/copy [17:30] suppose you split your terminal in two with screen, are those two foreground or two background processes? [17:30] escott: I just tried something, I moved a file from that folder to another usb stick, then from there to my users desktop. It allowed it. [17:30] Kneferilis1, split it with what? [17:30] escott_: gnu screen probably :) [17:30] escott: running commands now. [17:31] escott: screen or tmux [17:31] escott_: (I had the same thought) [17:31] Kneferilis1, now i see you said screen (you didn't the first time) [17:31] Kneferilis1, you should have two bash shells... foreground/background i dont know how to answer that, thats a bash concept not a screen concept [17:32] escott: using root nautilus, I copied folder to another USB stick formatted FAT32, then copied from that to my user's home folder. It allows this. [17:32] Terminal: you probably copied them to root's home [17:32] Hey, what's up guys, anyone know how to select wireless networks from the terminal? what's the manager program? [17:32] Action: Nope, main desktop. [17:33] Action: matthew's desktop [17:34] Terminal: run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; ls -la ~/Desktop | pastebinit [17:34] escott_ ok thanks [17:34] Terminal: what is output.? [17:34] terminal, sounds like your "copy" is actually a "cut" or some other operation that would attempt to modify the OSX partition which is impossible [17:34] JohnSnowstorm: nmcli [17:35] action: one sec [17:35] thanks jrib [17:35] escott/action: about to run that and paste output [17:35] Terminal: the command makes a url. Copy it and paste it here === ubuntu is now known as Guest74884 [17:36] Action: Ok. [17:38] action/escott: that command didn't do anything. [17:39] Terminal: did pastebinit install? === t-1000 is now known as LUND [17:39] action: going now, sorry [17:40] escott/action: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1605221/ [17:40] Terminal: how could it not do anything, when it clearly did...? [17:40] action: sorry, got confused. [17:41] Terminal: did you copy the pictures folder from the other system? [17:41] Actoin: Yes. [17:41] Action: same exact osx folder from moutain lions home folder. [17:42] Terminal: then you have full access and are the owner [17:43] OK, that gives me the network manager with rmeembered networks etc but I can't seem to use it to connect to a network or scan for networks [17:43] any ideas? [17:43] Action: so I use root nautilus to copy from the os x usb stick to roots desktop, then copy that back to another usb stick formatted fat 32, then back to my users dsktop and I'm good to go. [17:43] Action: becuase that's how I did it. [17:43] Terminal: you don't need root nautilus now, you have full access to the data [17:43] hi guys [17:44] Action;: well I mean for all the other folders, there are 15 more === atrius_away is now known as atrius [17:44] I have an laptop, with amd brazos APU, and it has a radeon 6320 graphic chip. I have ubuntu 12.10, with all upgrades, and I can't set up the proprietary drivers [17:45] Terminal: fine but you will need to chown the data every time, why are you using fat? [17:45] i know that the newest amd drivers are supporting the xsever 1.13 [17:45] timon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081559 [17:45] is there a easy way to get them? [17:45] Action: That's just how it was formatted, how should I format it? Best way? [17:46] Terminal: I suggest ntfs, or ext2. There is no outright best [17:46] whjms:well, that is not an option... [17:46] I don't want to downgrade... [17:47] hi, when i enter command in terminal to open something like nautilus the terminal is unusable untill i close nautilus. how can i enter commands so that the program runs and i can still run more commands without close programs [17:47] actoin: for os x in the future prolly ext2 then [17:47] i runned sudo aticonfig --initial, and it stats up [17:47] but it won [17:47] timon: then what? [17:47] but it won't show the unity stuff [17:47] timon: what do you mean? [17:48] it shows that i'm not connected to internet, and that's all [17:48] after that notification, all is see is the wallpaper [17:48] is there a ppa with newer amd drivers? [17:48] cocomo: "nautilus &" will give the terminal back [17:49] action: how to I reformat this stick? Today is first time using Ubuntu sorry. [17:49] ActionParsnip: can i bug you about an issue i'm having here? you're the most knowledgable person active here i know ;-) I'll just start so you don'T need to ask, and you can respond if you have the time... For a few days now, without me knowingly making any changes, network-manager does not start at boot. When I login to this Xubuntu 12.10 I don't have the network manager applet logo. I then sudo start network-manager, and the applet becomes acti [17:49] ve and sets up the LAN connection as it used to be. Would you have any idea why this could be? [17:49] Cocomo: or press cRRL+Z and run: bg [17:49] timon: can you open up a terminal? [17:49] of course... [17:50] timon: because if the wallpaper appears, then the driver isn't totally screwed [17:50] whjms: I've removed them for now, because I want it to be usable... [17:50] Tomreyn: isn't network-manager a service? [17:50] Facebook games need update flash, but I have latest ver. any help , is their a workaround ? [17:51] ActionParsnip: yes, i do "sudo service network-manager start" to run it [17:51] escott/action: chowning the data isn't needed, just copying and pasting in that manner I described works. But why does it do that like that? [17:51] Tomreyn: tried adding the command in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line [17:51] whjms: I checked the logs, and it sayd something like : Compiz: could not start window manager, because another is already running [17:51] or something like that [17:51] timon: did you reboot after uninstalling it? [17:51] yes [17:51] ActionParsnip: that could possibly work as a workaround, but that's not a fix, nor would it help determine what is wrong there. [17:51] with the foss drivers it works nice [17:52] ActionParsnip: so i'm actually trying to find out what is wrong and how to fix it properly. [17:52] hi guys [17:52] Tomreyn: that's all I got [17:52] timon: sorry, i'm not quite sure why fglrx would refuse to work...someone else might be able to help [17:52] ActionParsnip: alright, thanks [17:52] FearfromHell: what's up? [17:53] who test dota2 on ubuntu? [17:53] Tomreyn: you could look through the logs to see what's what. But if the fix makes it work then who cares === stop is now known as solidoodlesuppor [17:54] escott/action/dstau/: thank you all. I have no idea why it works like this without chowning the data, but it does. Beer time.

[18:35] cool...now you should be able to resize it [18:35] Also how can I register my email addy and password with Ubuntu, it isn't in their files although I've been on for 3 months [18:35] sunsetlover: boot a live ISO and use gparted to resize your partitions (can't resize a currently mounted partition). [18:35] MadsRC: uniq can check only specific fields, see its man page. You are sorting too right? [18:36] nronksr: thank you :-P [18:36] MadsRC: "sort -t \: -u" ?

[18:36] jrib, from what I could se in the man page of uniq, you could specify the number of characters to check, but that won't work, as there's an uneven amount of characters before the : (and yes, I sort it first :D) [18:37] i'll be right back after i finish resizing the partition [18:37] sunsetlover: do you remember whan we talk about the live disk ? :PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP [18:37] llutz, Thanks, I'll try that :D [18:37] MadsRC: you can also specify fields [18:38] ioria: you are right. sorry for not listening to you [18:38] ioria: haha, yeah, I was a bit in the backlog.

I am setting up users in a freeNAs box and the users are able to go to /mnt/Users/name then go up to /mnt/Users - whch I dont want [18:47] MadsRC: in the end you don't care about the ports right? You just want a list of unique IPs? [18:48] jrib, unfortunately I need the ports :P [18:48] MonkeyDust, that would work if it would output anything. :-) [18:48] MadsRC: so then sort does the right thing for you? [18:48] nronksr: maybe... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1968353 [18:48] whjms, man page said "pc speaker", but I didn't know which one is meant with that [18:49] t4b: it's internal speaker. yeah, it's confusing. [18:49] jrib, Well, It sorts the mright, but I don't need 2 entries on the same IP with different ports. I just need the IP's listed once, with atleast one of the ports in the list [18:49] whjms, ok, thanks [18:49] whjms: If I delete the Ubuntu partition, I'll can install ubuntu again, right? [18:49] MadsRC: oh [18:49] grweq: i forgot to mention one more thing it shows that the space is used so this is a good thing right? [18:50] Physicist: yeah. of course, you have to be careful to select the right partition during installation [18:50] Physicist: (I would suggest doing that from Ubuntu live media.) [18:50] So the internal speaker is indeed missing. Any way I can redirect beep's beeps to the external ones or is there an alternate programm which, too, can output beeps of variable length and frequency in a simple way? [18:51] jrib, Yeah :P I could just write a quick and dirty python script to do it, but I KNOW there is a way to do it with built-in tools :D [18:51] anyone knows how I can start ubuntu keyboard manager from the command line? [18:52] MadsRC: only way I see is for you to use uniq and to use uniq, you can only *skip* fields. Since the field you care about is first, you could swap them so 1:2 -> 2:1, then use uniq, then swap them back. That's what comes to mind. You can ask #bash for better suggestions [18:52] t4b: [ sudo apt-get install beep ] [18:53] t4b: Only one problem: It assumes you have an internal system bell. (Kind of a recursive problem.) [18:53] jrib, So basicly reverse each line, asking uniq to skip first field and then reverse the line again? [18:53] Hey [18:53] i need some help :P === aknewhope is now known as _aknewhope_ [18:53] MadsRC: that's what comes to mind, yes.

But I don't have an internal speaker (or it's broken, I don't really care). What I would like to do is output those beeps to another speaker anyway. [18:54] problem is, can't boot cuz of nomodeset [18:54] t4b: you might be able to do something with 'aplay'. try 'sudo cat /dev/mem | aplay' just to test [18:54] once i go on nomodeset [18:54] i get a command line [18:54] ElMa: Graphics?

[18:57] MadsRC: awk -F":" '{print $1":"$2}' foo |sort -n -u [18:57] anyone? [18:57] SonikkuAmerica, reinstall ubuntu without change something in backtrack. [18:58] t4b: if you just want to play a specific tone, you can just output '1' a few thousand times to a file and have aplay read it. there's a frequency option for aplay, i think [18:58] Physicist: Yep. (Provided you can boot from that pendrive, or a DVD.) [18:58] i accidentally formatted my external hdd using sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -I /dev/sdc1.how can i restore the files?

[19:10] ahh [19:10] It's pretty cool (literally) even though it crashes every now and then, but I heard the person running it won't be updating anymore and I'd like to have a good alternative if it isn't compatible some day [19:11] ioria: I'll take a look, thnx for the link.

Thanks DJones [19:15] <_aknewhope_> Ubuntu, my friend [19:16] MonkeyDust, sounds like a drug i'd like to try :) what does/did it do ? [19:16] but does the xorg.conf file not exist anymore ?

Is there anything I am missing here?

[19:20] Everytime my computer comes back from standby and before xscreensaver is displayed I get '[2.351259] kvm: disabled by bios'. After reading around I'm still not sure what kvm is but I'm pretty sure it's not installed so I don't know where to start but it'd be nice to get rid of the delay [19:21] Any ideas/ [19:22] does anybody here have encounter graphical problem? speciall with Nvidia? [19:22] i didn't tried to ping on wireless, let me try it, is there any ip must used [19:22] sunsetlover: ping 8.8.8.8 [19:23] mehdi_ what drivers are you using?

The disk escott. [19:26] guest_____, i would just reinstall thats easier [19:26] <_aknewhope_> How come on most tutorials on Apache HTTP the default document root is Shown in /var/www/? [19:26] escott, thanx. [19:26] sunsetlover: ping 8.8.8.8 [19:26] ioria: the ping is not loosing any packets. [19:26] _aknewhope_: its where it installs it [19:26] sunsetlover: so, what's the issue ? [19:27] <_aknewhope_> I compiled from source without setting prefix and its in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ [19:27] <_aknewhope_> On ubuntu [19:27] <_aknewhope_> I did not install from packages [19:27] _aknewhope_: because most people are sane and use a package manager :) [19:27] _aknewhope_: Well, if you isntall it with the package, it comes with a preconfigured directory [19:27] nobody havig a problem with dash menu? [19:27] _aknewhope_: Its best to use /var as by FHS its meant to handle changing data. [19:27] <_aknewhope_> Is var/www/ better? [19:27] Or where changing data is consistantly found [19:27] <_aknewhope_> Senjai: Ok [19:28] _aknewhope_: by FHS, yes [19:28] my router is beside me and in windows the wireless signal is full but in ubuntu it gives me that the signal is low [19:28] NOw i just need help with my issue [19:28] :/ [19:28] <_aknewhope_> FHS is the organization responsible for file structure or directory structure correct? [19:28] _aknewhope_: I strongly suggest you use packages for something like apache. Otherwise, you're responsible for updating apache whenever there is a security issue (and knowing about it) [19:28] sunsetlover: but your browser or your downloads are slow ? [19:29] /srv/www would be more fhs-compliant [19:29] <_aknewhope_> jrib: Most likely you are right but I am a tinkerer. Lol [19:29] ioria: yes [19:29] sunsetlover: are you using broadcom drivers ? (lspci) [19:30] <_aknewhope_> I have two instances on amazon ec2. One using packed and one compiling myself.

[19:31] in my experience anyway [19:31] <_helios_> sunsetlover_: wubi is not good for the full Ubuntu experience. [19:32] sunsetlover: i din't know you are using wubi : / [19:32] _helios_: I beg to differ! [19:32] so what i have to do ? [19:33] <_helios_> SonikkuAmerica2: wubi is slower for the most part, I used it awhile back and it is slower than a real full install. [19:33] sunsetlover: i don't use wubi... sorry [19:33] <_helios_> sunsetlover_: Reinstall Ubuntu as a full install or a true dual boot not using wubi [19:33] _helios_: I had virtually no problems with my 2007-model machine. 10 minutes and boom! It was in. === xubuntu1_ is now known as pppmajor18 [19:34] b [19:34] atael: b?

[20:45] dinosaurvskitten, i guess im not familiar with this gesture then. perhaps it can be toggled in the synaptics command line tool although i would think this is a window manager thing [20:45] escott_: it's a unity thing as far as I can tell [20:45] escott_: I guess someone deemed that feature too awesome to be configurable? :p [20:45] !ccsm | dinosaurvskitten see if it is in there [20:45] dinosaurvskitten see if it is in there: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [20:46] anonymousraptr, i dont follow.

[20:48] ThinkT510: the current solution seems to be "get rid of unity", so that shouldn't be an issue ;p [20:49] dinosaurvskitten: i've never known any touchpad features to be unity specific [20:49] anonymousraptr, are you asking how to check what is slowing things down or asking how to move away from encrypted home? [20:49] ThinkT510: guess I'll have to rip out gnome too [20:49] escott_: i get hiccups in the system frequently, mouse freeze, etc. id love to figure out what i changed from last install that is slowing me down. === heisenberg is now known as Guest23946 [20:50] anonymousraptr, ok what is the output of free -m?

[20:57] is there an irc option i can use in pidgin that will prevent me from constantly seeing all the people entering and leaving the room and just see dialog? [20:57] Hey all... Haven't used Linux in ages... Looking to get back on... interested in Ubuntu over OpenSuSe. Going to install it on 3 computers... What do you all think of the Unity interface? [20:57] Mitchell92: marmite, you can only find out for yourself [20:57] marmite?

Ubuntu seems nice but I very much like gnome... the desktop looks nice but i dislike the launcher.

[21:04] Mitchell92: try it for a while is the only way to find out what grates you [21:04] Mitchell92: cinnamon isn't supported here [21:04] !notunity | Mitchell92 [21:04] Mitchell92: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:04] ok [21:05] Mitchell92: google is your friend on this one [21:05] Is there a way to have my 12.10 lappy only use the external monitor when attached and switch back when unplugged? Doesn't seem to be anyting like that in the preferences. Dont mind editing configs if that's where I need to do it. [21:06] I have an AMD Radeon HD 6620G... How good is the hardware support?? [21:06] Modernmy1h, sounds like you just need to make one monitor as default that is under systemsettings-->apperance->display [21:06] Modernmy1h, i was able to get it working like that... but i had to install binary drivers... and i have to switch manually to the hdm1 when its plugged in... but when i unplug it it goes back to the default on lappy [21:07] and the binary drivers should work great on your card' [21:07] i have an amd radeon hd 7***g series [21:08] Hi. What is the command to reboot with a file system check forced on reboot? Thanks. [21:09] I'm trying to find a desktop mail client that syncs with my outlook.com account. I want to delete or send a file to a new folder and have those changes reflected in the outlook.com web interface. Is there a linux solution? Seems that it may be able to get done with the "Exchange ActiveSync" protocol. [21:09] gmachine_24: It used to be /forcefsck [21:09] Modernmy1h, http://imagebin.org/245396 [21:09] just turn off the one that you do not want to show up [21:11] SonikkuAmerica: As in $sudo reboot /forcefsck ...... ? [21:11] gmachine_24: Yeah, but I don't think that's it. [21:12] hmm that sucks.. every now and then.. like ever other day.. if i leave my computer running i have to type killall cairo-dock then run cairo-dock & otherwise parts of the dock stop responding [21:12] weird === Clovertown_ is now known as Clovertown [21:12] Thanks guys.

[21:17] SonikkuAmerica, if I delete from Thunderbird, the mail is still there if I log on to the web interface, which is the problem. [21:18] IveBeenBit: I see. So it forces POP instead of IMAP [21:18] and then ignores it [21:19] <_helios_> boern: http://askubuntu.com/questions/106878/how-do-i-disable-all-sounds has the answer for that [21:19] don't know why but I'm loving ubuntu wayyy more then windows 7 or 8 on my new laptop so I'm all in now. But I want to change all this orangeness on 12.10. anyone figured this out yet? [21:19] boern, I believe Preferences>Sound> and then you ignore system sounds......... [21:20] thank you very much ;) [21:20] boern, or you can click on the speaker icon in the tray and then pick preferences, etc. [21:21] 'sound preferences' rather [21:21] /NAMES [21:21] boern, anytime. let me know if that does what you want it to [21:21] great, i found it :) [21:21] you are all great [21:22] Sry for my bot [NFBorg3] [21:22] Whats?

[21:24] michael_: You might want to [ sudo apt-get install gconf-editor ] [21:24] Preferences>Screensaver [21:25] preferences ? i'm using unity... [21:25] careless, also check power management prefs while there [21:26] SonikkuAmerica, ok I'm doing that now. I think the reason I was confused was because I was tryying to figure it out with dconf-editor lol [21:26] i dont have any screensaver button in system settings [21:26] michael_: The "d" is for Debian, while the "g" is for GNU Net objects. [21:27] SonikkuAmerica, ok I'm in gconf now where do I go and what do I do? [21:27] where do i check screensaver preferences in 12.10 unity ? :) [21:28] michael_: I think it's somewhere in apps/metacity [21:29] careless, The screensaver theme and activation time out may be configured by clicking on the power button in the top panel, selecting System Settings and then choosing the Screensaver option in the Control Center to access the Screensaver Preferences dialo [21:29] SonikkuAmerica, I'm at metacity/general and it only has 3 options. button layout theme and titlebar. And theme is set for ambiance with no color preferences [21:29] gue [21:29] michael_: Unfortunately I haven't used gconf-editor in ages. === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [21:30] Hey Guys.

[21:33] Styler2go, System Monitor works pretty well [21:33] Styler2go, plus you want to monitor cpu use, ram use, hdd? cpu use and ram use I understand. What about your hard drive do you want to monitor? [21:33] free space [21:34] what KI4RO ......... said....... System Monitor I believe does most of that for your computer [21:34] its a server [21:35] Styler2go: Then I'd setup something like Nagios. [21:35] its for my ubuntu server so it need sto be web based.. or maybe with an android app...

As correctly pointed out on the Wine Buglists, this is not caused by a Wine Issue, but rather by a kernel-based issue centered around alsa and Intel-HDA. [21:52] cute_bettong: Wow.

[22:53] thanks [22:57] im having trouble with the internet speed of my ubuntu machine. its on the same network as a pc and osx machine but getting only half the dl speed. [22:58] anonymousraptr, what nic? [22:58] and drivers? [23:00] ciao [23:00] i'm having an issue that suddenly appeared on my ubuntu 12.10, my wifi can't see my home AP. neither the network manager nor an iwlist scan finds my home network. Though they find multiple(12) other networks. [23:00] ericus: is there a command line to find my nic? [23:00] other devices can see and connect to the wifi fine. [23:00] !list [23:00] galexs: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [23:00] it is NOT an issue with an illegal channel due to region. and the computer could connect fine a few days ago. [23:00] anonymousraptr, try "lspci" [23:00] didn't find much with google [23:01] ericus: Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [23:02] ericde Hi! [23:02] Whats? [23:02] so wifi anonymousraptr [23:03] are you running wifi from the other computers as well? [23:04] anonymousraptr, maybe this might be helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12166616&postcount=12 [23:04] anonymousraptr, seems to be a problem with that nic [23:06] ericus: thanks, no worries. now that i realize its a G card and the other two are 802.11N cards, getting half the download speed is about correct [23:06] hi can anyone please help me getting php working on my lamp localhost? === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki === xubuntu is now known as Guest66766 [23:08] anonymousraptr, hehe yes, if you have a 801.11N-network and are running a 801.11G card, that makes perfect sense ;) === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [23:16] hi [23:16] Hey, I'm having a problem with the xrandr command. Anyone familiar with it? [23:16] jonah: you may want to turn to #ubuntu-server or #php for this. [23:16] can some look at this and tell me what the heck is going on [23:16] http://pastebin.com/3rqUba6e [23:16] Rakyth: a bit, what'S the problem? [23:20] hello xD? [23:20] rictec: may be a kernel bug. which ubuntu version? [23:20] is this a VM? [23:20] good night =D [23:20] tomreyn: 12.04.01 [23:20] tomreyn: when I xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1600x1000 --auto and swap to the external monitor, it still uses the old mode [23:20] tomreyn: a 64 bit system [23:20] er, sorry I was disconnected [23:20] rictec: do you do virtualization there? [23:21] yes i have virtual box in this machine [23:21] tomreyn: usb simple stop working [23:22] Rakyth_: sorry i have no experience with >1 monitor setups. the mode seems uncommon to me, is this actually one which is supported? [23:22] yeah it's supported on the monitor and by the HDMI output [23:22] I can't seem to remove the old mode, either [23:22] delmode/rmmode don't work [23:23] rictec: so this is the host system and you run iother systems below it using virtualbix, right? [23:23] tomreyn: kernel as bean updated [23:24] rictec: were you running virtualbox at the time it happened? [23:24] yes host [23:24] no i just try to debug using android and get this [23:25] tom, are you out of ideas? [23:25] rictec: debug using android? are you saying you run android in a VM for debugging purposes? [23:26] rictec: also, are there any databases running or anything else causing heavy disk I/O on your main ubuntu system? [23:26] tomreyn: no i connect android devices and debug them using adb [23:26] Rakyth_: when you run xrandr without arguments, is this mode listed? [23:26] i disconected my usb 3.0 storage device but gotthe same problem [23:27] which one? [23:27] i beleave usb_modeswith is not working either [23:28] hi all! [23:28] Rakyth_: 1600x1000 [23:28] tomreyn: cat /etc/issue shows thatUbuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l [23:28] who is not sleep ? [23:29] no, just 1600x1000_60.00, and that's only because I added it: I know the HDMI port and the monitor support it [23:29] rictec: what does "uname -a" say? [23:29] tomreyn: my kernel is: Linux ricubuntu64 3.2.0-37-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:28:10 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:29] ok [23:30] sudo service udev restart has no efect [23:30] I have the following physical setup http://www.flickr.com/photos/86435426@N05/8439999171/ , and I'd appreciate if someone here has used snapraid before on ubuntu? Very keen on achieving power saving / caching capabilities which is outlined here: http://snapraid.sourceforge.net/compare.html (snap raid). However, I want to run VM's ontop of the server install, [23:30] what is the recommended hypervisor? for ubuntu. [23:30] paul--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:31] I used gtf to get the modeline, I just can't get the old mode out and the new mode to display [23:31] Rakyth_: okay, i'm not sure whether this will work, since the video card also needs to support it. but i'm really not into multi-monitor setups, so i suggest you just repeat your question and get help from someone else here, or ask on some forums [23:31] I'm also using the stable release of Chromium-OS but very few people in those groups have used xrandr or know its ins and outs, so that's why I went here [23:32] I know the video card supports it because other people with the same hardware have hooked up much larger monitors resolution wise [23:33] Rakyth_: it's not about whether the size is too large, more about whether the exact dimensions are supported. [23:34] tomreyn: from which end, the video card or the monitor? [23:34] can a fella get a bit of help with ruby? I have already been to #ruby, but am looking for some specific help with precise x64 [23:34] rictec: you run the latest kernel for this ubuntu version, so that's not an issue. i'm not sure where to continue. can you check whether there are other issues logged before those lines you pasted. in the same or different logs found in /var/log/ ? [23:35] Rakyth_: both, it needs to match [23:35] tomreyn: no i pasted just when it started no error befoure that [23:36] tomreyn: how would I know for sure? [23:36] rictec: were you saying that it happened right when you connected something to your usb3 port? [23:36] hey [23:36] tomreyn: ya the machine is on hold [23:36] Rakyth_: supported modes are printed when you run xrandr without arguments [23:36] only solution temporary is reboot [23:37] Can someone help me? i have trouble installing Ubuntu. I think it's a vga drivers problem. [23:37] rictec: "on hold" as in it freezes when you connect a device on the usb 3? [23:37] tomreyn: this must have changed task scsi_eh_9:6119 [23:37] tomreyn: on old to get info cos i have to reboot [23:37] elmage: can you explain to the channel what happens so they can help you? [23:38] mouse is working any usb storage i connect is ignored [23:38] ntzrmtthihu777: welcome, and please ask your question, so people can respond if they can answer it. [23:38] yeah, i joined earlier and had some help [23:38] or any other usb [23:38] elmage: welcome, and please ask your question, so people can respond if they can answer it. [23:39] tomreyn: when I xrandr without any arguments I get 640x480 and my mode [23:39] I have located a ruby program I should like to use, but am having hell getting it to work === Brewster[afk] is now known as Brewster [23:40] Всем привет) [23:40] this is what happens: Im trying to install Ubuntu from a USB stick. First, the screen was going black after boot. This was fixed via NOMODESET. Now, when i enable NOMODESET and go to "INSTALL" in the menu, i get a Commands line, and idk what to do from there [23:40] Rakyth_: you open a terminal window, typr "xrandr" (without quotes) and it only outputs a single line, 640x480?

Internet Eletric in US [23:43] Rakyth_: are you using a custom xorg.conf file? proprietary video drivers? [23:44] i've never seen a single modeline listed unless when you have a custom xorg.conf [23:45] anyone? [23:46] windows hide 9 [23:46] i was told it was a video drivers problem, but i dont know how to solve that. [23:46] Hi. Anyone else got their flash screwed up with the last google chrome package update [23:46] ? [23:47] Strav`, Version 24.0.1312.56 Ubuntu 12.10 (24.0.1312.56-0ubuntu0.12.10.3) works great here [23:48] tomreyn: I have no clue how chromeos handles the xorg.conf or the videoo driver, so the answer is probably yes to both [23:48] OerHeks: I'm on 24.0.1312.57 [23:48] great .. [23:49] tomreyn: so you think is a kernel bug? [23:49] elmage: your best bet is probably to use the alternative installer, if that's available for the version of ubuntu you are trying to install [23:49] =( [23:50] alternative installer? [23:50] Rakyth_: chromeos? are you trying to get help with chromeos in #ubuntu? [23:50] tomreyn: what do you think I should research from here? [23:50] Strav`, you can file a bugreport, or use the report button in chrome [23:50] tomreyn: I'm trying to get help with xrandr in #ubuntu [23:50] I suppose not, then [23:50] elmage: which ubuntu version are you trying to install? [23:51] tomreyn: 12.10 [23:51] :S 10 gave me such hell I switched back to .04 untill the new lts comes out [23:51] OerHeks: I don't fill bug reports without investigating if the problem might only on my side. [23:52] elmage: the root problem you're having is that your video card is not well supported by linux, probably because the company whose chip is on the video card, and the company which made the video card, didn't care enough about linux users getting proper support. [23:54] tomreyn: this is probably a kernel bug === Prodego is now known as elapse === elapse is now known as administrivia === administrivia is now known as lar === lar is now known as sql === sql is now known as Prodego === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [23:58] rictec: it's well possible. you can try searching launchpad for it [23:59] heya [23:59] Rakyth_: you said this, which makes me think you are using chromeos tomreyn: I have no clue how chromeos handles the xorg.conf or the videoo driver, so the answer is probably yes to both [23:59] Rakyth_: i have yet to get your answer on whether or not you do. [23:59] remember earlier this morning when I mentioned about matlab crashing/restarting my system? [23:59] tomreyn: thanks doing that and reporting it if not reported yet
