| tomreyn | Sosumi: glad you found a solution (but i wasn't there at the time). was it overheating? if you think it's a cpu bug and you have an intel CPU then try running this and reboot: sudo update-intel-microcode | 00:04 |

| phoenixsampras | how to speed up unity? | 00:04 |
| tomreyn | MartynKeigher: make sure that you really know what you're doing before you edit files with sudo. you normally don't need to do this. | 00:05 |
| Sosumi | it wasn't overheating, just instability with the default setting provided by asus, | 00:06 |
| MartynKeigher | thanks & i' | 00:06 |
| tomreyn | MartynKeigher: you definitely do not want to escalate your accounts' default authority to root. linux uses a different permission system than windows did for many years, so what you learnt there cannot be applies to linux 1 to 1 | 00:06 |
| MartynKeigher | i'll be careful! | 00:06 |

| MartynKeigher | im wokring on a ruby project and file i need to edit is "ok if i get wrong". if you see what i mean. i will be editing this file a lot. this is a standalone laptop with a plain ubuntu install an di know way will anything go "critaclly" wrong if i have sudo access. how can i get that access? | 00:09 |

| ubottu | JonEdney: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD | 00:34 |
| JonEdney | bazhang, thank you for that. Is there an alternate to installing an OEM copy, for someone else's PC? | 00:35 |

| JonEdney | bazhang, installing on a laptop for a friend, I'd like to install and allow them to set up their own credentials/settings. | 00:36 |
| t_pol | kunji, if i store my script there will it launch as soon as openbox launches? | 00:37 |
| traubisoda | hi | 00:37 |
| kunji | t_pol: It should launch when X starts I believe, so it should be right before... my bad, you need after don't you. I think the .bashrc file should work for you. | 00:38 |

| YesMan | On Ubuntu 12.04, to permanently change the IP address I need to edit /etc/network/interfaces , correct? | 00:41 |
| tomreyn | JonEdney: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/oem-config-remaster should allow for creating an installation CD with OEM install capability. | 00:41 |
| traubisoda | YesMan i may be wrong, but i think that should be done in your router's config | 00:42 |
| cincinnatus | Is there an "remote desktop" application for Ubuntu that keeps the local desktop locked while the user is logged in remotely (like Remote Desktop on Windows)? | 00:42 |

| yourslave | anyone know how i can do sudo in one line shell command | 00:44 |

| cincinnatus | tomreyn: The use case is this: corporate policy requires that all desktops be locked when the employee is not at their desk | 00:45 |
| YesMan | traubisoda: My VPS server has venet0 with an IP address of 127.0.0.2. I want that to be 127.0.0.1. Via sudo, I edited /etc/network/interfaces (which has the IP address for venet0 as 127.0.0.2) to have an ip of 127.0.0.1. I rebooted my VPS and the ip of venet0 was 127.0.0.2.

| tomreyn | jakepiano: the problem is that what you have now will break next time you update the kernel. i suggest you try runnig this: gksudo jockey-gtk | 01:41 |

| VlanX | i have a problem with any internal sata HDD that i mount with ext4 filesystem, i get costant writes (probably journalling?) with average of 4mbps.. please advise! | 01:52 |
| escott | VlanX, you probably just have an application writing to the disk. check with iotop | 01:53 |
| VlanX | escott: already done, just formatted the drive, happened with two HDD's | 01:54 |
| VlanX | escott: iotop only says jbd2 | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | I have seen ext4 freak out a few times, but a restart fixes it for me. (It usually hard-freezes my system) | 01:54 |
| VlanX | w/ ext2 this doesnt happen | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | jbd2 is journaling IIRC | 01:54 |
| VlanX | phunyguy:restarted the system, nothing changed | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | any smart errors, VlanX? | 01:55 |
| VlanX | phunyguy: i thought of that, but both drives?? | 01:55 |
| VlanX | and if i format them with ext2 this doesnt happen | 01:56 |
| phunyguy | what ubuntu version, VlanX? | 01:56 |
| bsmith093 | im running ext4 quantal (12.10) with the dir_index option enabled. how many subfolders can one folder hold? within those subfolders is another folder,( generated dynamically by a script im running) that is dumping hundreds of files into it, but the biggest part of this tree, is the one folders with thousands of subfolders in it. so where is the limit of subs? currently im at 7000+ subs | 01:56 |
| somsip | bsmith093: ISTR you're okay with ext4. It's ext3 that has a 32,000 limit | 01:57 |
| VlanX | phunyguy: 12.10 | 01:58 |
| al__ | Anyone have experience installing HP8600 all in one -- in particular the scanner? | 02:00 |
| tomreyn | VlanX: do you also see high cpu load on the jbd process? | 02:00 |
| tomreyn | VlanX: also, is everything up to date, i.e. all kernel (and other) updates installed? | 02:01 |
| VlanX | tomreyn: i would say 5-15% | 02:02 |
| VlanX | tomreyn: yep, everything up to date | 02:02 |
| tomreyn | bsmith093: i think those limits are documented on the ext website. they should be way higher than that. still, so many entries in a single directory will slow things down. if you are able to influence the application doing this (bad programming) then make it use more levels of subdirectories. | 02:03 |

| bsmith093 | tomreyn: its all text files anyway, so there just going to be compressed when its done, but thanks | 02:05 |
| tomreyn | VlanX: it's probably the initial formatting. if this lasts for way longer than it may be wise to disable the "extents" feature, but be sure to read up on possible issues this can introduce. | 02:06 |
| tomreyn | that's a an ext4 file system feature, so use tune2fs -O ^extents /dev/partitions | 02:07 |

| tomreyn | VlanX: you're welcome, and good night. | 02:12 |
| tomreyn | PeterFA: it may be that the windows partition is using some special partitioning / file system options which ubuntu does not yet understand. | 02:14 |

| entreri | lol forgot to tell that it's bluetooth file transfer | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | howcode: good to hear this. so about your wireless, maybe you need to try an updated driver. please post the output of this command (copy and paste it to a terminal, including the parantheses): ( lsb_release -d; uname -a; dpkg -l linux-image | grep ^i; sudo lspci -knnv| grep -A10 Network ) | pastebinit | 02:26 |

| entreri | xangua: because if blueman works for you, I think xu and lubuntu must use it | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | howcode: sorry, i have to run but this should help others help you. also make sure you install the kernel updates you are missing | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | you'Re not up to date | 02:30 |
| howcode | tomreyn: how do i do that, do you know? is it just a command? | 02:31 |
| MichaelP | Does ubuntu use the mkinitcpio -p command ? | 02:31 |
| tomreyn | run update-manager | 02:31 |
| howcode | ok | 02:32 |
| xangua | entreri: no idea how the default manager is called (it appears as bluetooth-applet in startup apps) but it doesn't even show up even when my dongle is recognized | 02:32 |
| entreri | xangua: and yeah, it's been so many time I use bluetooth for file transfer, internet tethering and backup that I did not even think at USB wire | 02:32 |

| * IveBeenBit is back (gone 02:19:42) | 03:37 | |
| ikonia | !away > IveBeenBit | 03:37 |
| ubottu | IveBeenBit, please see my private message | 03:37 |
| jimaji123 | Well, how am i suposed to open non-archiv stuff? | 03:38 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: with the right tool....depending on the file type | 03:38 |
| jimaji123 | And what does wine do? | 03:38 |
| timgd | I just installed lubuntu and unity booted. I thought lubuntu was supposed to use lxde? | 03:38 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: trys to run windows programs in linux, not something I suggest you do | 03:38 |
| jimaji123 | Okay now Ikonia its done downloading | 03:38 |
| jimaji123 | Now what to do now. | 03:39 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: what type of file is it (what's it's extension) | 03:39 |
| jimaji123 | Its Exe. | 03:39 |
| trage | LOL | 03:39 |
| jimaji123 | Its Setup.exe | 03:39 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: then you don't use it on linux | 03:39 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: you use it on windows | 03:39 |
| jimaji123 | I alternate from windows to ubuntu | 03:39 |
| jimaji123 | Sorry, im just new to this | 03:40 |
| jimaji123 | Okay, so how would i install steam then | 03:40 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: the URL you gave me earlier | 03:40 |
| jimaji123 | yea this one | 03:40 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: again, not something I'd recommend you do, because it's in beta | 03:40 |
| jimaji123 | http://store.steampowered.com/about/ | 03:40 |
| ikonia | and you don't seem to have much idea what you are doing | 03:40 |
| jimaji123 | Whats in beta | 03:40 |
| jimaji123 | Ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: steam on linux | 03:41 |
| jimaji123 | Oh. | 03:41 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: there is not a full set of games available, and the process is in beta and depends a lot on your hardware and linux support | 03:41 |
| ikonia | so it's not something I'd suggest you do | 03:41 |
| jimaji123 | So, that means that most games are for windows than linux... | 03:41 |
| ikonia | correct | 03:41 |
| jimaji123 | >=I | 03:41 |
| jimaji123 | That means i cant play my games anymore =O | 03:42 |
| ikonia | use windows | 03:42 |
| jimaji123 | Dang. | 03:42 |
| jimaji123 | So no games are for linux? | 03:42 |
| timgd | jimaji123: that is false. | 03:43 |
| ikonia | the majority are written for windows | 03:43 |
| kunji | jimaji123: There are lots of games for linux | 03:43 |
| jimaji123 | But what about the games i play =/ | 03:43 |
| voodoomurphy | hey folks, I have a technical issue and I've looked everywhere to correct it. 12.10 fresh install (64 bit) on a HP g6 laptop. It will suspend just fine on when it's connected to AC but on battery it just sits on. The screen never dims or anything. | 03:44 |
| trage | jimaji123: Try googling Playonlinux... that may work for you better. Easy setup of windows games in linux. There is a list of supported games so check out their support docs to see if the one you want to play is there. | 03:44 |
| ikonia | no it doesn't | 03:44 |
| ikonia | playonlinux is just a wine wrapper | 03:44 |
| voodoomurphy | I have the suspend times set for 5 minutes and 30 minutes on AC. | 03:44 |
| ikonia | and something I'd strongly suggest you keep away from | 03:44 |
| kunji | jimaji123: A lot of them will work through particular versions of WINE, some have linux versions, it's not typically easy to get them running smoothly though, which is why ikonia is not recommending it. Also running WINE would allow windows code including viruses to execute on your system. | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | Save file? Or open with this archiv thing | 03:45 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: what ? | 03:45 |
| GreaseMonkey | hey, i'm trying to install lubuntu 12.10 on an old laptop. i'm stuck at the "loading bootlogo" thing. the md5sum of the .iso download *IS* correct. what should i do? | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | ... | 03:45 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: what are you downloading ? | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | Im downloading Playonlinux | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | And its asking | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | Open with | 03:45 |
| ikonia | then I'nm not helping | 03:45 |
| jimaji123 | Or save file | 03:45 |
| ikonia | it is a BAD idea | 03:45 |
| FloodBot1 | jimaji123: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:45 |
| GreaseMonkey | save file | 03:45 |
| ikonia | if you wnat to play windows games - use windows | 03:46 |
| trage | LOL.. oh jeez. Sorry. My bad. | 03:46 |
| GreaseMonkey | i can help | 03:46 |
| jimaji123 | So, ikonia usually it would say either download for windows linux or mac? | 03:46 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: sorry - I'm helping with this | 03:47 |
| jimaji123 | And what is PlayOnLinux anywase? It has games? | 03:47 |
| GreaseMonkey | i suggest you just go with wine | 03:47 |
| ikonia | no, | 03:47 |
| ikonia | it does not have games | 03:47 |
| ikonia | I suggest you use windows to play windows games | 03:47 |
| ikonia | as you will not progress with any other method | 03:47 |
| kunji | jimaji123: I would not recommend that until you have a better idea of how your system works, but well, suit yourself. PlayOnLinux is a wrapper that attempts to make WINE easier. | 03:47 |
| FloodBot1 | ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:47 |
| jimaji123 | And i have another problem ikonia. | 03:47 |
| jimaji123 | what is wine? | 03:47 |
| GreaseMonkey | it's an emulator to run windows programs | 03:47 |
| GreaseMonkey | Your Mileage May Vary | 03:47 |
| jimaji123 | How do i install wine? | 03:48 |
| OerHeks | !wine | 03:48 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 03:48 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: it's something I'd strongly recommend you do not do | 03:48 |
| jimaji123 | Why? | 03:48 |
| jimaji123 | I just wanna play games =/ im starting to fell that all my windows games are not for linux. | 03:49 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: because a.) it is not a platform to depend on b.) you are not capable of maintaining it at your currentl level | 03:49 |
| jimaji123 | I just want to get games =/ | 03:49 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: then use windows | 03:49 |
| GreaseMonkey | jimaji123: may i recommend rocksndiamonds | 03:49 |
| jimaji123 | But im going to download steam | 03:49 |
| kunji | jimaji123: Because you clearly don't know what you're doing yet and WINE is a whole nother can of worms, it would be a miracle for you to get it working, most likely you'll waste a lot of time, make your system less secure, and maybe even make your system stop working | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | jimaji123, advise your game publishers of your interest or explore linux games. or why not both! Wine is no guarantee. | 03:50 |
| GreaseMonkey | if all you want to do is game, you're going to have to give up a few specifics | 03:50 |
| jimaji123 | Okay, so how do i install steam since im on linux? | 03:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: check if the games you want are on steam for linux first | 03:50 |
| GreaseMonkey | you would need to either A: install wine, which is not recommended for you at your level, | 03:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: also the steam platform is in beta | 03:50 |
| GreaseMonkey | or B: wait for the linux version of steam to come out properly | 03:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: and will depend on your hardwares support if it works | 03:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: as I told you earlier | 03:50 |
| kunji | jimaji123: I actually haven't installed steam on linux, I've been thinking about it though, since CS 1.6 joined the Beta lineup | 03:50 |
| GreaseMonkey | what sorts of games do you prefer btw | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | I like toribash and steam | 03:51 |
| ikonia | steam is not a game | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | I usually play steam most of the time. | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | I kniw. | 03:51 |
| ikonia | steam only has a few games available on linux | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | Its what i get games on | 03:51 |
| ikonia | so again - check if the game you want is on steam for linux | 03:51 |
| dydzEz2_ | i hate how the ubuntu drive shows up on my computer in windows 8 and if i click it, it automatically asks for a format | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | I usually play tf2 on steam | 03:51 |
| dydzEz2_ | cant find a way to hide it | 03:51 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: I'm sorry - you need to start listening to what's being said to you | 03:51 |
| kunji | GreaseMonkey: Do you still need WINE for it? I thought you didn't anymore. | 03:51 |
| jimaji123 | 'Ikonia i know. | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | dydzEz2_, sounds like a windows 8 issue and not an ubuntu issue ... | 03:52 |
| jimaji123 | You said that i need to see if the games support the games. | 03:52 |
| dydzEz2_ | sorry just asking, was thinking a lot of people did dual boot with their new w8 laptop or something and had an idea in here too | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | dydzEz2_, ##windows might know | 03:53 |
| kunji | jimaji123: If the platforms support the games, that is if each individual game has or has not been ported, TF2 I believe does have a port | 03:53 |
| phunyguy | If I uninstall a unity-webapp, how do I get the entry removed from the indicator-applet? | 03:53 |
| jimaji123 | Kunji, you play steam? | 03:53 |
| phunyguy | even a restart didnt remove it. | 03:53 |
| kunji | dydzEz2_: I dual boot 8, but mine don't show up. | 03:53 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: steam is not a game ! | 03:53 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia i know. | 03:53 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: so how would someone "play steam" | 03:53 |
| GreaseMonkey | jimaji123: may i suggest sume other games, because right now you're not going to be playing TF2. | 03:53 |
| jimaji123 | I metn to ask him does he "have" steam | 03:53 |
| dydzEz2_ | kunji did you dual boot in UEFI mode? | 03:54 |
| jimaji123 | So linux dont work for tf2? | 03:54 |
| GreaseMonkey | assaultcube is a personal favourite of mine | 03:54 |
| kunji | jimaji123: Nope, but I play the independent versions of some older steam games, so I may take up Steam with it coming to Linux | 03:54 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: do you have windows on your machine ? | 03:54 |
| GreaseMonkey | as far as you're concerned, TF2 will not work on linux | 03:54 |
| jimaji123 | Yes i do | 03:54 |
| jimaji123 | I have win 7 and ubuntu | 03:54 |
| l057c0d3r | wait what tf2 sais there is a linux version on steam's website | 03:54 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: right - so to play windows games.....why will you not use windows ? | 03:54 |
| kunji | dydzEz2_: Nope, I stuck with regular MBR for now | 03:54 |
| GreaseMonkey | then if you really, really want to play tf2 then go on windows | 03:54 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: the games where designed for windows..... | 03:54 |
| jimaji123 | Yes, i would | 03:54 |
| jimaji123 | I know. | 03:55 |
| gabessdsp_ | Trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on my computer, but everytime I try to boot from the disk I get this error: "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" anybody able to help? | 03:55 |
| dydzEz2_ | Oh alright, gotcha kunji -- one more question -- did you have to use boot repair in ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| kunji | jimaji123: It should work for TF2 | 03:55 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: right ? so why is this conversation happening, you want to play windows games, use windows, you have windows, job done | 03:55 |
| trage | You have to diable secure boot in the "bios" in order to dual boot (or boot anything before Win8) until they finish the UEFI support for Linux that is now under dev. | 03:55 |
| GreaseMonkey | gabessdsp_: check your boot order or something | 03:55 |
| l057c0d3r | and i've got it working in wine before as well.. along with skyrim | 03:55 |
| jimaji123 | Kunji, tf2 will work for linux? | 03:55 |
| GreaseMonkey | oh that too | 03:55 |
| gabessdsp_ | secure boot? I'll look for it | 03:55 |
| jimaji123 | But i want to play some games on lunix. | 03:55 |
| GreaseMonkey | yeah turn secure boot off, that thing is cancer | 03:55 |
| jimaji123 | I will have to see some of them old games i used to play. | 03:56 |
| jimaji123 | They were for lunix. | 03:56 |
| GreaseMonkey | rocksndiamonds perhaps? | 03:56 |
| kunji | dydzEz2_: I did not need to, but also I know how to troubleshoot my boot manually most of the time, so I've actually never used the boot-repair. | 03:56 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: why ? you don't have experience at this time, you struggle to listen to instructions, | 03:56 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: if you actually want to play the game, windows is the platform you need | 03:56 |
| l057c0d3r | ryzome and realms online are good mmo's with native linux clients | 03:56 |
| gabessdsp_ | any idea where it would be located? I'm looking in the boot bios menu and don't see anything called secure boot | 03:56 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia, im only 13 | 03:56 |
| jimaji123 | Give me a break. | 03:56 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: so ? | 03:56 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: So you burned an ISO of Ubuntu to a CD or DVD disc? | 03:56 |
| ikonia | I do'nt see how age is a factor | 03:56 |
| jimaji123 | Knoledge is. | 03:56 |
| ikonia | you want to play windows games, you have windows, job done | 03:56 |
| gabessdsp_ | it's 20MB too large for a CD-R so I buirned it to a DVD-R | 03:56 |
| dydzEz2_ | thanks for the answers kunji | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | jimaji123, time to get yourself educated maybe? | 03:57 |
| gabessdsp_ | *burned | 03:57 |
| kunji | jimaji123: I said it twice already, it does work for linux. | 03:57 |
| jimaji123 | Lol. | 03:57 |
| Korny2 | Most 13 years olds have more knowledge the 30 year olds L:/ | 03:57 |
| jimaji123 | Okay i will be installing tf2 right now. | 03:57 |
| jimaji123 | Kunji, but how? | 03:57 |
| jimaji123 | Look at this link | 03:57 |
| jimaji123 | http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/?snr=1_7_suggest__13 | 03:57 |
| grahamcracker | steam linux awesome | 03:57 |
| trage | And the computer you are trying to boot to has a DVD player right? | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | !who | 03:57 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:57 |
| gabessdsp_ | yes | 03:57 |
| Korny2 | People still use optical media? | 03:58 |
| gabessdsp_ | fairly certain | 03:58 |
| jimaji123 | Kunji that link does not have anything that says "linux" | 03:58 |
| kunji | jimaji123: You would need to use the linux binary from Steam, I know it is possible because many people have done it, I'm not one of them though, so unfortunately my usefulness ends here. I might look it up, but you can look it up as easily as I can. | 03:58 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: When booting are you selecting your boot device manually or do you have a priority list set in the bios? | 03:58 |
| jimaji123 | How do i use linux binary? | 03:58 |
| gabessdsp_ | but let's say the problem is that it can;t read DVD's and I need a CD. How can I get a version of UBUNTU 12.10 that fits on a CD-R? | 03:58 |
| gabessdsp_ | I have the priority list set in bios | 03:58 |
| trage | gabessdsp_:Make sure. You can't play a DVD in a CD Player. Make sure it says DVD on it. | 03:59 |
| cfhowlett | !mini|gabessdsp_, | 03:59 |
| ubottu | gabessdsp_,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:59 |
| kunji | jimaji123: Some people have said they only see the link in Steam for the linux Beta if they own the game for another platform already. But I don't even use Steam, so I'm not really the person to ask | 03:59 |
| gabessdsp_ | it's called cdrom on the front....the other is called DVD/CD Writer | 03:59 |
| jimaji123 | Okay. | 03:59 |
| gabessdsp_ | there is 2 | 03:59 |
| jimaji123 | Well im just downloading steam right now | 03:59 |

| Dorito | o_o | 04:00 |
| gabessdsp_ | yes trage? | 04:00 |
| Dorito | /w/w 2 | 04:00 |
| Dorito | oops. | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | jimaji123, pre-emptive reminder: steam in in beta, i.e. still in development and should NOT be expected to work out of the box. | 04:00 |
| jimaji123 | I installed steam. and now it opened ubuntu software center. | 04:00 |
| === mike is now known as Guest65873 | ||
| jimaji123 | And it says | 04:00 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: You are trying to boot with the DVD in the DVD writer drive and that is at the top of your priority list in bios right? | 04:00 |
| Guest65873 | I need help | 04:00 |
| jimaji123 | It says Wrong architecture'i386' | 04:01 |
| cfhowlett | !details|Guest65873, | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Guest65873,: Please give us full details. 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 ..." | 04:01 |
| gabessdsp_ | well I have it in the cd-rom drive ebcause I don't know if the dvd/cd writer can read discs. I thought that's why it's a writer | 04:01 |
| xangua | gabessdsp_: a writter does both... | 04:01 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Try putting it in the DVD writer drive. Think that will work out better for you. | 04:01 |
| gabessdsp_ | oh...I feel stupid....I'll try that then. I'll be back to report... | 04:02 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Goodluck and have fun. | 04:02 |
| kunji | jimaji123: You need the 64 bit version of Steam | 04:02 |
| jimaji123 | Kunji, then were do i get it? | 04:02 |
| Guest65873 | I am running ubuntu one and I cant login to the internet what i want to do is reinstall it dont have a cd or anything | 04:02 |
| Guest65873 | reformat is what i want to do | 04:03 |
| === gangnamstyle is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| kunji | jimaji123: I don't know have you tried googling yet? We've covered that I know as little about steam as you do, so any help I'm giving is me googling and just passing on what I find to you, you could google yourself first and ask when you get stuck | 04:03 |
| jimaji123 | Omfg, linux is hard for downloading games. | 04:03 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, download the iso. Make a bootable cd or usb re-install | 04:03 |
| grahamcracker | Why do I have to buy some apps for $0.00 ??? | 04:03 |
| * cfhowlett annnnnnnnd it begins ... | 04:03 | |
| ikonia | jimaji123: how many times have I said to you "use windows" | 04:03 |
| Guest65873 | how do i do that | 04:04 |
| jimaji123 | I know, but i just wanna try a steam game on linux. | 04:04 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: but you are not trying | 04:04 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: you are just asking "what next, what now, what next, how" | 04:04 |
| * Korny2 is amazed how patient the helps in here are, I think 90% of the users askign questions are trolling, the questions are just odd | 04:04 | |
| ikonia | you've not done/read anything - enough now | 04:04 |
| kunji | jimaji123:... you trolling? Have you tried running commodore64 games on windows yet? Conveniently there's emulators, but no kidding it's not something you should expect to work at all | 04:04 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, you're on the internet now, right? get the ubuntu download page, recommend you download via torrents | 04:04 |
| grahamcracker | jimaji123: what are you trying to do? | 04:04 |
| howcode | is there a cli web browser in ubuntu? | 04:04 |

| jimaji123 | im trying to install steam first of all. | 04:05 |
| jimaji123 | 64 bit | 04:05 |
| gabessdsp_ | alright I put it into the DVD drive. So now I'm in my BIOS trying to make it boot from the DVD drive first. But I don't see any option anywhere that says "DVD" anything | 04:05 |
| jimaji123 | Im trying to install steam first of all Kunji | 04:05 |
| jimaji123 | I clicked on the about tab on steam | 04:05 |
| GreaseMonkey | gabessdsp_: what are the options | 04:05 |
| jimaji123 | And it says steam has linux in beta and all that | 04:05 |
| GreaseMonkey | howcode: there's lynx and w3m i believe | 04:05 |
| gabessdsp_ | THe options are: | 04:05 |
| gabessdsp_ | woops | 04:05 |
| gabessdsp_ | one sec | 04:05 |
| grahamcracker | jimaji123: just goto steam's website and download the .deb then open the deb and itll open the software center then click install | 04:05 |
| xangua | howcode: lynxs, elinks, something like that...wikipedia helps :) | 04:05 |
| jimaji123 | Were is the .deb? | 04:06 |
| GreaseMonkey | howcode: i don't know if there are any that do javascript, i THINK elinks might | 04:06 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: come on, | 04:06 |
| grahamcracker | jimaji123: hold on | 04:06 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: if you can't even find the download, you have no chance of actually using this software | 04:06 |
| howcode | greasemonkey, thats ok i was only looking for one for browsing the c++ reference websites | 04:06 |
| jimaji123 | its easy on windows | 04:06 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: please start actually doing something for yourself rather than just "how, how how how how how" all the time | 04:06 |
| gabessdsp_ | The options are: Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and LAN | 04:06 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: then use windows - | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | jimaji123, then use windows | 04:06 |
| jimaji123 | i have to go | 04:06 |
| Guest65873 | i am atr the download page but their is nothing their | 04:06 |
| grahamcracker | oy | 04:07 |
| grahamcracker | okay | 04:07 |
| grahamcracker | can i ask a question now lol | 04:07 |
| GreaseMonkey | gabessdsp_: try CDROM | 04:07 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: My money is on LS120 but that even seems odd. Have you tried using this drive to read/write lately? | 04:07 |
| kunji | jimaji123: No kidding it's easy on windows, it was designed for windows from the ground up.. anyway, have you read this yet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve | 04:07 |
| GreaseMonkey | trage: an LS120 is a special 120MB floppy disk | 04:07 |
| GreaseMonkey | it's definitely not that. | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ | 04:07 |
| GreaseMonkey | my money's on CDROM | 04:07 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Just wondering if it is hooked up to the motherboard. | 04:07 |
| trage | DVD writers usually have *DVD* in the name somewhere. | 04:08 |
| grahamcracker | just wondering, why do I have to pay $0.00 for some apps on Ubuntu Software Center? Is it a glitch? | 04:08 |
| gabessdsp_ | that's what I had before but that points to the CDROm drive which I now have unplugged. But anyway...I will try the LS120. And no I recently collected this computer from a friend as a donation towards and experimental render farm project | 04:08 |
| GreaseMonkey | gabessdsp_: it is NOT the LS120 | 04:08 |
| cfhowlett | grahamcracker, not a glitch | 04:08 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Do you have the data cable plugged into the mobo? If so is it a ribbon or sata plug? | 04:09 |
| Guest65873 | nothing is happen when i try to open | 04:09 |
| gabessdsp_ | It's all ribbon/IDE | 04:09 |
| gabessdsp_ | no SATA | 04:09 |
| gabessdsp_ | it's old from 2002 | 04:09 |
| gabessdsp_ | HP Pavilion 700 | 04:09 |
| grahamcracker | cfhowlett so i have to put all my credit card info to be able to download? | 04:09 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: do you have a dedicated ribbon for the dvd drive? | 04:09 |
| tonsofpcs | LS120? hmmm | 04:09 |
| gabessdsp_ | Yes there is a ribbon for the dvd drive, and a separate one ofr the hDD | 04:10 |
| gabessdsp_ | *for | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | grahamcracker, I don't think so since $0 cost, but I've never bought anything through USC. Try and checkout and see if the Pay Now option demands your info ... | 04:10 |
| tonsofpcs | gabessdsp_: does the BIOS detect the DVD drive as a CD drive? | 04:10 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Right, but what I'm asking is > Is it the same ribbon used for the DVD drive used also on the CD drive... if so you have to set the jumpers correctly for the mobo to see it. | 04:10 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: or just connect JUST the DVD drive to the mobo. | 04:11 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, download save the torrent. open transmission (torrent manager) and add the torrent. Start download. go have a coffee . | 04:11 |
| gabessdsp_ | originally there was a robbon for the CDROm, and DVD Writer, and another for the FLOPPY and HDD, but I disconnected the FLOPPY, and also disconnected the CDROm now | 04:11 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I have just installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop. When even no program is running the laptop is very hot and the fan is working loudly. Is it common? Should I do something? | 04:11 |
| thomedy | please please please help | 04:11 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: I would make sure the jumpers are set correctly anyways. If its on its own ribbon by itself you can set it to Master or CS (cable Select). | 04:11 |
| mojtaba | Any suggestion is highly appreciated. | 04:12 |
| mojtaba | Any idea? | 04:12 |
| trage | mojtaba: Check for proprietary video drivers. | 04:12 |
| cfhowlett | !details|thomedy, | 04:12 |
| ubottu | thomedy,: Please give us full details. 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 ..." | 04:12 |
| thomedy | i have a a lamp install and i idid it at xampp for linux... and when i started it i found that i had a webserver running already so istopped that an dhtne it said ihad a webserver with ssl running already so i followed the steps at the ubuntu website and now ican start it | 04:12 |
| thomedy | but i cant get localhost/xampp | 04:13 |
| JokesOnYou77 | hi all, can anyone recommend a good XFCE theme for a Large screen like a TV? Something with large text and icons? | 04:13 |
| mojtaba | trage: From where should I check that? | 04:13 |
| gabessdsp_ | there is a part that says master on the ribbon and a part that says slave. I have the master part plugged into the drive. What's this about jumpers though? | 04:13 |
| thomedy | sorry that was a lot to type | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | thomedy, this might be worth submitting on #ubuntu=server | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | #ubuntu-server | 04:13 |
| thomedy | ? is that a room | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | thomedy, yes | 04:13 |
| thomedy | okay thanaks | 04:13 |
| gabessdsp_ | so what about jumpers? Not sure if you saw my last message or not | 04:14 |
| Guest65873 | not working | 04:14 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, details help ... | 04:14 |
| mojtaba | How can I check for the proprietary video driver? | 04:15 |
| Guest65873 | so how all my browers are gone for some reason i was able to login to this chat | 04:15 |
| gabessdsp_ | traje? | 04:15 |
| gabessdsp_ | I mena trage | 04:16 |
| Guest65873 | this is the only internet brower i have | 04:16 |
| gabessdsp_ | *ment | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, you've got weird stuff happening then. Did you download the torrent seed? | 04:16 |
| gabessdsp_ | ugh cannot type today | 04:16 |
| trage | mojtaba: Software Sources in the dash... then click Additional Drivers tab. | 04:16 |
| MoPac | Anybody here have advanced experience with Ubuntu LUKS and/or Linux-ified Truecrypt? Want dual boot with shared files. Wondering about mounting LUKS system volume with FOTFE in Win or mounting Truecrypt Win system volume from within Ubuntu | 04:16 |
| thomedy | i just want to start fresh but i read so many tutorials i dont even know what was right or wrong or what on e i was doing at the time to get this error | 04:16 |
| gmachine_24 | I have a back up file, call it backup.tar.gz; how do I untar that to a drive that has been formatted and mount at /mount/tarhere | 04:16 |
| jessemuffin | Hi everyone! New Ubuntu user here. | 04:17 |
| Guest65873 | i cant do it and dont know where it would be for me to do this | 04:17 |
| gmachine_24 | *and mounted | 04:17 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, greetings | 04:17 |
| gmachine_24 | jessemuffin, what's up? | 04:17 |
| jessemuffin | used to run Ubuntu on my old solid state EEE pc | 04:17 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Look at the back of the DVD drive next to where you plugin the ribbon. There should be 4-5 pairs of pins that can be jumped. Do you see a jumper? | 04:17 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, try lubuntu or xubuntu | 04:17 |
| jessemuffin | Well I dont have that EEE pc anymore | 04:18 |
| jessemuffin | haha | 04:18 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, moth are designed for older and lower spec machines ... like the EEE | 04:18 |
| jessemuffin | I had a customized ubuntu of somesort on it | 04:18 |
| jessemuffin | netbookuntu or something | 04:18 |
| gabessdsp_ | trage: I see a white thing. It's kind compact so I have to take the drive out to actually do anything to it | 04:18 |
| gabessdsp_ | but it's on some pins | 04:18 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, netbook edition no doubt | 04:19 |
| jessemuffin | Think so | 04:19 |
| guideX | how do I add a deb repository to my ubuntu | 04:19 |
| mojtaba | trage: There is just one and it is for my wireless | 04:19 |
| cfhowlett | !repo|guideX, | 04:19 |
| ubottu | guideX,: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 04:19 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, so what's the issue today? | 04:19 |
| guideX | but what's the command | 04:20 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: You have to take the drive out to identify WHAT setting the drive is on. It is usually easily identified by initials under the pins or a pin diagram on the manufacturers product label. I would set to CS or cable select. | 04:20 |
| jessemuffin | Hmm, wanted to see if anyone has gotten the game "League of Legends" to work on ubuntu | 04:20 |
| guideX | these docs give me a lot to read, but no actual command | 04:20 |
| gabessdsp_ | trage: doing that now...one sec | 04:20 |
| === leechradio[away] is now known as leechradio | ||
| cfhowlett | guideX, this is to add a PPA is it? | 04:20 |
| guideX | ug i'm just trying to download something | 04:21 |
| guideX | how do you do it | 04:21 |
| cfhowlett | guideX, sudo apt-get install foo.deb | 04:21 |
| Guest65873 | so you cant help me | 04:21 |
| trage | mojtaba: Then my friend, you have the same problem I have. You probably have an ATI mobile chipset running with a AMD processor. They do get warm and the getting legacy drivers to work on them is like pulling teeth in the dark on a balance beam hovering over a bed of sharp spikes. | 04:21 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: any problem can be solved with enough patience. hang in there | 04:22 |
| mojtaba | trage: I hvae ATI mobile chipset with the Intel processor. :( | 04:22 |
| guideX | hmm I have a file like this... zend.deb.repo | 04:22 |
| guideX | and inside it has "deb <url> parameter" | 04:22 |
| grahamcracker | cfhowlett it never asked for payment, all is well | 04:22 |
| mojtaba | trage: Isn't there anyway to fix it? | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | grahamcracker, good to know. Have fun, be safe | 04:23 |
| trage | mojtaba: Well than you are better off than me. I would reccommend making sure you have the latest bios updates for your box. Aside from custom building a driver for your chipset or trying to get an unsupported one to work would be a shot in the dark. | 04:24 |
| guideX | when I do sudo apt-get install zend.deb.repo I get "cannot find any package by regex" or somehting | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | guideX, .deb is a deb package. .repo is something else. | 04:24 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: do you have access to the synaptic package manager? | 04:24 |
| guideX | oh | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | guideX, does the download site provide install guidance? | 04:25 |
| MoPac | Anybody here dual-boot with Windows and have full-disk encryption (or know about such things)? | 04:25 |
| Guest65873 | not sure | 04:25 |
| guideX | yeah the file says to type 'install_sz.sh | 04:25 |
| guideX | but when I do it says command not found | 04:25 |
| jessemuffin | I dual-boot with windows but i used some program called WUBI to do it. Probably bad on my part | 04:25 |
| guideX | then I found all these repositories, I guess for different types of linux | 04:26 |
| guideX | it's the zend framework.. | 04:26 |
| gabessdsp_ | alright trage: I finally pulled out the drive. THe jumper is already set to something called CSEL, but ther is another option for MASTER or SLAVE | 04:26 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: tell us your situation. do you have ubuntu booted now? what are you seeing on your screen? | 04:26 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, wubi is a testing environment for ubuntu and should not be considered a long-term installation method. | 04:26 |
| gmachine_24 | I have a system back up file, call it backup.tar.gz; how do I untar that to a drive that has been formatted and mounted at /mount/tarhere. I want to extract the tarred files and copy them to /mount/here (which is a hard drive partition /dev/sdc1) so I can boot the system from /dev/sdc1 the next time? (I am going to remove the current drive where Ubuntu is installed). Thanks. | 04:26 |
| Guest65873 | yes it is booted now | 04:26 |
| pepee | anyone using fglrx from xorg-edgers ppa? | 04:27 |
| jessemuffin | Okay i'll keep that in mind | 04:27 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: CSEL is fine. examine the pins on both the mobo and the drive to make sure there aren't any bent or broken pins. | 04:27 |
| jessemuffin | Would it run faster if i did it properly? | 04:27 |
| Guest65873 | but no acess to the browers | 04:27 |
| kunji | jessemuffing: WUBI isn't bad, it won't be as efficient though as a full normal install. It mounts the system as a loopback device I think, if you google it it's not too hard to find the details of how it works. | 04:27 |
| kunji | *muffin | 04:28 |
| Guest65873 | where would i find the synaptic package | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, properly meaning a regular dual boot? probably. You could also install virtualbox and test things in that. | 04:28 |
| gabessdsp_ | tage: alright. Nothing is bent or broken. But f I'm supposed to be using CSEL then what's next in this error? | 04:28 |
| kunji | jessemuffin: I would expect it to be a bit faster, but not a lot in most cases | 04:28 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Is there a jumper connecting the 2 pins for CSEL? | 04:28 |
| jessemuffin | Alright, i just wanted something to get away with windows, a new perspective | 04:29 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: can you click on the button on your task bar that says "Dash Home"? | 04:29 |
| gabessdsp_ | trage: yes a little white jumper connecting both pins | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, install virtualbox in windows. install as many different ubuntus as you like in virtualbox. When you find a flavor you prefer, install a dualboot | 04:30 |
| Guest65873 | no | 04:30 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Some newer drives required a special ribbon cable. These special cables have at least one blue plug. Do you have one of those cables? | 04:30 |
| jessemuffin | Well I've used Virtualbox before :-) I like Ubuntu. I guess I should properly install a dual boot Ubuntu instead of using Wubi. | 04:30 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, that is not normal functioning and leads me to suspect your boot iso is malformed. | 04:30 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: then on your keyboard press Control Alt and the T button | 04:30 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Can anyone recommend a good XFCE theme/tweak for a Large screen, like running an HTPC? Something with large text and big icons? | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | jessemuffin, not hard to do. | 04:31 |
| jessemuffin | I have a 4g memory card, could i use that? | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | JokesOnYou77, aren't there such in the Accessibility menu? | 04:31 |
| gabessdsp_ | trage: ummmm this is all old back from 2002. But the plugs are black and grey | 04:31 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: when you do Ctrl Alt T does your terminal pop up? | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | JokesOnYou77, nvrmnd, I just looked. Not there. | 04:32 |
| Guest65873 | yes | 04:32 |

| Queen`Bee | JokesOnYou77, have you tried xbmc? | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | JokesOnYou77, +1 xbmc | 04:33 |
| Korny2 | xbmc if its just for media.... | 04:34 |
| Korny2 | mythtv for dvr + media! | 04:34 |
| Queen`Bee | i thought myth was out of dev | 04:34 |
| trage | gabessdsp_: Well here is where we are at. Your mobo doesn't seem to be seeing the drive. The only three possibilities I see is left is 1) The IDE port is disabled in the bios... unlikely but possible. 2) Your drive doesn't like your cable... try taking the ribbon cable from the hdd and hooking it up to the DVD. or lastly 3) The drive is dead and won't work no matter what. | 04:34 |
| Guest65873 | now what do i do | 04:34 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Queen`Bee, I love XBMC and I use it regularly. But I'm looking for something that will theme XFCE for example so that I can use it to easily navigate when I'm not actually using XBMC | 04:34 |
| Korny2 | Not at all Queen`Bee where did you hear that? | 04:34 |

| Korny2 | Mythbuntun repo is plenty active | 04:35 |
| gabessdsp_ | trage: Thanks! | 04:35 |
| Korny2 | I get updates every couple of days | 04:35 |

| === yamba_ is now known as yamba | ||
| phunyguy | Korny2, mythbuntu uses ubuntu repos | 04:36 |
| phunyguy | so of course you get updates | 04:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | I'm actually asking about XFCE themes because I'm using MythTV and it runs XFCE I just can't read the text with the default theme | 04:36 |
| Guest65873 | it is saying not compatable | 04:36 |
| Korny2 | mythbuntu has its own repo for fixes | 04:36 |
| JokesOnYou77 | Sorry, not MythTV, Mythbuntu | 04:36 |
| cfhowlett | JokesOnYou77, last link I sent has all kinds of xfce eye candy | 04:37 |
| Korny2 | its the reverese ubuntu uses mythbuntu repos :P | 04:37 |
| phunyguy | *sigh* | 04:37 |
| phunyguy | well mythbuntu didn't come out with a 12.10 version. | 04:37 |
| Korny2 | Last I reado n mythbuntu is they were going to be not releaseing non LTS builds | 04:37 |
| JokesOnYou77 | cfhowlett, yeah, I was browsing there for about 20 minutes before I came to ask for suggestions. | 04:37 |
| Korny2 | sigh I can't type today | 04:37 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: it seems like you have some serious issues. you will likely need to boot using LiveCD or LiveUSB. | 04:38 |
| jessemuffin | What's the best way to install Ubuntu on my windows 7 pc as a dual boot | 04:38 |
| phunyguy | ahh, ok, well I don't know, just playing devil's advocate | 04:38 |
| Korny2 | They are only releases on LTS because mythtv is more of an appliance | 04:38 |

| phunyguy | hi** | 04:42 |
| mojtaba | How can I custom build a driver? | 04:42 |
| Guest65873 | well for some reason i got google open dont know how but it is their and now it is asking for me to download a flash player dont know what to do now | 04:42 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: hi | 04:42 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, as in compile one from source? | 04:42 |
| phunyguy | or write one? | 04:42 |
| mojtaba | I have ATI mobile chipset with intel processor | 04:42 |
| mojtaba | my laptop is very hot, even when no program is running | 04:43 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I have installed ubuntu recently on it. | 04:43 |
| Guest65873 | which one do i select | 04:43 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, do you want to write a driver, or build one from source? | 04:43 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I guess build from source. | 04:44 |
| phunyguy | well ATI is closed source, mojtaba so you are probably using the open source community driver | 04:44 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I just want to solve my current problem actually | 04:44 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I am not sure, but maybe. | 04:44 |
| mojtaba | actually I have switched to linux recently | 04:44 |
| phunyguy | either way, what version of Ubuntu? | 04:44 |
| trage | Guest65873: Depends on what version Win your computer came with. If youc can still boot into your Win7 Install, right click on My Computer and select Properties from the flyy out menu. The window that opens from there will tell you Something like Windows 7 Home Prem 64. | 04:45 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: 12.10 | 04:45 |
| phunyguy | did you get a message saying restricted drivers were available? | 04:45 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: it is hard to figure out where you are. if you can't find the Dash Home button which is ubuntu's most regularly used button, then you have bigger problems then installing flash | 04:45 |
| Guest65873 | ok now which one do i pick | 04:45 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I have installed restricted drivers | 04:45 |
| trage | Guest65873: If you don't see a 64bit anywhere, then you need the 32bit version. | 04:45 |
| Guest65873 | let me see | 04:46 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, so it just runs hot? no actual issues? | 04:46 |
| phunyguy | are you sure it is due to graphics? | 04:46 |
| trage | Whoops.. wrong guest. Damn tabbed autocomplete | 04:46 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I am not sure, but it is very hot and the fan is always working. | 04:46 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, you may have an issue with processor stepping | 04:47 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: someone in this chatroom told me, may be it is because of the graphic card | 04:47 |
| Guest65873 | i see alot but dont know which one to pick | 04:47 |
| phunyguy | err throttling | 04:47 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: would please let me know what should I do? | 04:47 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: because I am pretty new to linux era. | 04:47 |
| Guest65873 | i am at the parent dir | 04:47 |
| mojtaba | :D | 04:47 |
| phunyguy | I would bet that with the restricted drivers, that your issue isn't graphics related, and I have had problems in the past with intel chipsets and processor throttling. | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | mojtaba: use the addational-drivers tool to see if theres ati drivers suggested for your card. | 04:47 |
| mojtaba | dr_willis: How should I use it? | 04:48 |
| phunyguy | for example, with this laptop on 12.04, when I plug the laptop in, it throttles to 1200MHz, and when I unplug it, it puts the laptop at full speed. Seems backwards. | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | mojtaba: you run it.. and click on the driver it suggests.... | 04:48 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, how is your battery life? | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | in 12.10 its under the software-sources tool tabs | 04:48 |
| phunyguy | dr_willis, he said he already did that | 04:48 |
| mojtaba | dr_willis: I mean how should I run it, because I have installed it before. | 04:49 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: It is pretty shorter than windows unfortunately. | 04:49 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, then that is your issue most likely | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | if you instyalled them and rebooted.. double check that they are in use.. if you still ahve issues.. then its most likely not a video driuver pssue then | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | unless you got some wonky dual-gpu video card setup... then well.. I dont use those. | 04:50 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, please pastebin the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | sounds more like an apci/powersaveing/bios bug | 04:50 |
| mojtaba | dr_willis: I have checked the additional driver in the software resources and saw there was just something for my wireless driver, nothing else | 04:50 |
| phunyguy | that is my thought dr_willis | 04:50 |
| Senjai | What java package should I install? | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | !java | Senjai | 04:50 |
| ubottu | Senjai: 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. | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | Senjai: whatever one you want/need. ;) | 04:50 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: ok | 04:50 |
| Guest65873 | my computer was windows vista till they completly got rid of it so i dont have acess to it | 04:51 |
| phunyguy | Guest65873, to make it easier to identify you, please change your nick with the /nick command (/nick newnickname) | 04:52 |
| trage | Guest65873: Then most likely you are going to need to download the 32bit Ubuntu Live Disk Installer. That really should work anyways. | 04:52 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1606897/ | 04:52 |
| phunyguy | there are 11 folks in here with the Guest##### username | 04:52 |
| Senjai | thank you dr_willis | 04:53 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, you have one core that is running at full tilt | 04:53 |
| phunyguy | do you have a process that is spiking the CPU on you? | 04:53 |
| Guest65873 | so help me do that | 04:53 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: what do you mean by spiking? | 04:53 |
| phunyguy | using 100% | 04:53 |
| Guest65873 | and i dont know how to change my name | 04:54 |
| phunyguy | !nick | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. | 04:54 |
| trage | Guest65873: Type "/nick yournicknamehere" without the quotes. | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | Guest65873, to make it easier to identify you, please change your nick with the /nick command (/nick newnickname) | 04:54 |
| phunyguy | hmmm.... use that /nick command | 04:54 |

| mojtaba | phunyguy: At the moment I am running virtual machine | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | use /nick Bill_Gates :) | 04:55 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, Windows VM? | 04:55 |
| mojtaba | VB | 04:55 |
| mojtaba | Is there Windows VM available for linux? | 04:55 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, is it Windows in VB | 04:55 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: yes | 04:55 |
| dr_willis | !vbox | mojtaba | 04:55 |
| ubottu | mojtaba: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org .

| osirisx11 | hi all, is there a way to make 100% volume be able to go up above 100% without going into the sound manager? | 04:55 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, then that may be what is hitting your CPU hard | 04:56 |
| osirisx11 | (make 100% act like 120% or something) | 04:56 |
| === f is now known as xb3 | ||
| phunyguy | try shutting down the VM for a while to see if it cools down. | 04:56 |
| osirisx11 | i have some nice headphones that really need an amp but i don't want to spring for one right now | 04:56 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: ok, meanwhile how can I update my BIOS? | 04:56 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, that may be beyond the scope of this channel, try in ##hardware | 04:56 |
| CalicoJack | hello everyone. quick question: if i install ubuntu on a machine, and then later add a hard drive and install windows on that hard drive, will GRUB automatically detect the windows drive or will i need to reinstall? | 04:57 |
| phunyguy | CalicoJack, you will just need to add a grub entry for the Windows install | 04:57 |
| cfhowlett | CalicoJack, you'd need to update grub for it to see any changes | 04:57 |
| thomedy | okay i have my lamp install started but when i go to the broswer and hit localhost/xampp | 04:57 |
| thomedy | i get nothing | 04:57 |
| thomedy | it doesn't have a page | 04:57 |
| === VD is now known as Guest33415 | ||
| mojtaba | phunyguy: Haven't you do that before? Because actually in the website of the laptop manufacturer they provide an exe file to check the BIOS version under windows os. | 04:57 |
| Guest65873 | my problem is not my nickname right now i need to fix the computer can you please tell me what version to download of the ubuntu | 04:57 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, again, that is beyond the scope of this channel | 04:58 |
| thomedy | setting upa mailserver turned out to be a sucky idea | 04:58 |
| CalicoJack | cfhowlett is that something i can do from the command line? something easy? | 04:58 |
| phunyguy | the vendor will provide a CD ISO or the like to boot from/ | 04:58 |
| phunyguy | but you need to contact the laptop maker for that | 04:58 |
| cfhowlett | CalicoJack, sudo-update grub is the command iirc. | 04:58 |
| cfhowlett | !grub|CalicoJack, | 04:58 |
| ubottu | CalicoJack,: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:58 |
| CalicoJack | cfhowlett nice thank you | 04:59 |
| cfhowlett | CalicoJack, have fun, be safe | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | Guest65873: when in doubt use the 32bit desktop version - it should run on the most hardware | 04:59 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, did the laptop cool down? | 04:59 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I closed the VB, but still the fan is working with max speed. | 04:59 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: no. :( | 04:59 |
| trage | Guest65873: Go to the Ubuntu Download Desktop page and make sure the 32bit installer is selected... then click on Get Ubuntu 12.10 button. | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | Guest65873: 12.04 32bit would be the safest bet. | 05:00 |
| phunyguy | please paste your cat /proc/cpuinfo again to see what it looks like | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | if you got older hardware. | 05:00 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1606915/ | 05:00 |
| thomedy | oh god i really need help now | 05:01 |
| thomedy | i love doing this stuff but i hate doing it when i dont know what im doing | 05:01 |
| phunyguy | hmmm give it a few more moments mojtaba | 05:01 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: ok | 05:01 |
| phunyguy | is this a fairly new laptop/ | 05:01 |
| phunyguy | ? | 05:01 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: Actually It is Dell Studio 1555 | 05:02 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I guess 2 years old | 05:02 |
| phunyguy | hmmm... and you get nothing for ATI restricted drivers... | 05:02 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: no | 05:02 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: how can I check that again? | 05:03 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, do you know how to disable the ATI video in the bios? | 05:03 |
| phunyguy | and use onboard? | 05:03 |
| Harlingen | Hi ubuntu? | 05:03 |
| phunyguy | I'm curious to see if it does the same thing then | 05:03 |
| phunyguy | Hi Harlingen | 05:03 |
| arussel | I have start up script in my /etc/init.d, if I had the line: su -m ubuntu -c "exec touch /tmp/ubuntutest" | 05:03 |
| cfhowlett | Harlingen, greetings | 05:03 |
| Harlingen | Hi phunyguy | 05:03 |
| arussel | then I end up with the file ubuntutest in /tmp | 05:03 |
| Harlingen | Hello Cfhowlett | 05:03 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: actually I have not seen such possibility in BIOS | 05:04 |
| Harlingen | I'm installing ubuntu desktop at the moment. | 05:04 |
| arussel | if I had the line: su -m tomcat7 -c "exec touch /tmp/tomcat7test", I don't, any idea why ? | 05:04 |
| Harlingen | It seems to be a .zip file. | 05:04 |
| Harlingen | I'd like to burn it to a DVD. | 05:04 |
| Harlingen | So that I may make it bootable for CD-ROM on this blank laptop. | 05:04 |
| phunyguy | Harlingen, then open the iso you downloaded with burning software and not an archive app | 05:04 |
| cfhowlett | !unetbootin|Harlingen, | 05:04 |
| ubottu | Harlingen,: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:04 |
| Guest65873 | what am i suppose to look for when i go to the page because their is alot of diffrent kinds | 05:04 |
| Harlingen | Thanks | 05:05 |
| phunyguy | cfhowlett, he wants to burn, not USB | 05:05 |
| Harlingen | Okay, like nero correct? | 05:05 |
| trage | Guest65873: Go to the Ubuntu Download Desktop page and make sure the 32bit installer is selected... then click on Get Ubuntu 12.10 button. | 05:05 |
| Guest65873 | can you copy a link where i can just click | 05:05 |
| phunyguy | Harlingen, are you in Windows? | 05:05 |
| * cfhowlett facesmack into the window | 05:05 | |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: How can I do that? | 05:05 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, do what? | 05:05 |
| Harlingen | At this moment phuny? Yes my Step brother wants ubuntu on his laptop that apparently has a already reformatted partition. | 05:05 |
| trage | Guest65873: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 05:05 |
| phunyguy | Harlingen, then learn how to burn an ISO | 05:06 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: phunyguy: mojtaba, do you know how to disable the ATI video in the bios? | 05:06 |
| Harlingen | It's a blank Laptop with no OS on it currently. | 05:06 |
| Harlingen | I'm guessing it'd be easier using usb? | 05:06 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, that would be laptop specific, I was just curious if you knew about the option | 05:06 |
| Queen`Bee | if you have windows7 all you have to do to burn an .ISO is double click to open it then click burn | 05:06 |
| Harlingen | I have a 4gb usb here. | 05:06 |
| Harlingen | Would that work easier? | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | Harlingen, forgive me for previous bad intel. | 05:06 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: I have not seen such possibility in the BIOS. | 05:06 |
| phunyguy | Queen`Bee, not necessarily, the file-associations could be changed with something like winrar | 05:07 |
| Harlingen | It's okay I understand how it's like having a noob ask retarded questions. | 05:07 |
| Harlingen | I'm just trying to my best not to annoy you fine gents. | 05:07 |
| thomedy | please help.. i just want my server back | 05:07 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: Do you know something I could do? | 05:07 |
| phunyguy | Harlingen, you are better off just looking up how to burn an ISO in Windows, with something like Nero, and then come back if you have issues installing Ubuntu] | 05:07 |
| Harlingen | Hmm.. | 05:07 |
| phunyguy | mojtaba, unfortunately no. | 05:08 |
| Queen`Bee | winrar doesnt associate to .iso by default. thats something a user would do, | 05:08 |
| mojtaba | phunyguy: actually at the moment just I have terminal and pidgin running, but the fan is blowing up. | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | Harlingen, or make a boot USB ... | 05:08 |
| phunyguy | Queen`Bee, yes it does. Fact. | 05:08 |
| Harlingen | Thank you cfhowlett. | 05:08 |
| Harlingen | That would be much easier I assume. | 05:08 |
| Harlingen | Third party program would be requried to do so right? | 05:08 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know what should I do to cool down my laptop? | 05:08 |
| Queen`Bee | since what version? winrar leaves that checkbox unchecked last i installed | 05:08 |
| phunyguy | !unetbootin | Harlingen | 05:08 |

| cfhowlett | Harlingen, yes, unetbootin is a fine example | 05:08 |
| Guest65873 | ok i am their now what should i pick | 05:09 |
| phunyguy | Queen`Bee, don't know, but its been a while. He may have an old version | 05:09 |
| Queen`Bee | it never did | 05:09 |
| Guest65873 | open with or save file | 05:09 |
| trage | Guest65873: The one that says (reccommended) | 05:09 |
| Queen`Bee | save | 05:09 |
| phunyguy | and even if not, a simple "select all" would do it | 05:09 |
| Queen`Bee | save file. if you are using windows and want to boot from USB: this is best: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CD4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linuxliveusb.com%2Fen%2Fdownload&ei=ckIPUczjCof-iQLQ64HwBQ&usg=AFQjCNEVClXlrB5WeGBp9m7qNXrEh10UOA&bvm=bv.41867550,d.cGE | 05:09 |

| Harlingen | Queen bee? | 05:10 |
| Harlingen | Lili seems pretty cool. | 05:10 |
| Queen`Bee | lili is the best | 05:10 |
| Harlingen | Awesome | 05:11 |
| Harlingen | So I download ubuntu then I use lili to put the file unto is to use as " Bootable usb " | 05:11 |
| Queen`Bee | yes | 05:11 |
| Queen`Bee | simple | 05:11 |
| Harlingen | I have a 4gb usb stick is that enough? | 05:11 |
| phunyguy | yes | 05:11 |
| Harlingen | Beautiful. | 05:12 |
| Harlingen | Thanks guys | 05:12 |
| Harlingen | You all rock. | 05:12 |
| Harlingen | Also, winXP and ubuntu... | 05:12 |
| Harlingen | Should I make the switch coming from an HP Mini? | 05:13 |
| Queen`Bee | thats not something i can answer for you | 05:13 |
| phunyguy | Harlingen, depends on your needs | 05:13 |
| Queen`Bee | as far as security is concerned, XP is dead your better off with any linux | 05:13 |
| Harlingen | I see | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | Harlingen, for a mini? try lubuntu or xubuntu. both are optimized for low spec and older machines. | 05:13 |
| Harlingen | Nice | 05:14 |
| phunyguy | Xubuntu would probably be ideal | 05:14 |
| Queen`Bee | xubuntu is my fav | 05:14 |
| Harlingen | Yea, Its been using winXP for 3years. | 05:14 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu is the foundation for ubuntustudio | 05:14 |
| Harlingen | I love it but for some reason it's hell booting up you know? | 05:14 |
| Queen`Bee | Ubuntu Studio is actually better but requires more hard drive space | 05:14 |
| Harlingen | Lol | 05:14 |
| thomedy | okay... i just did it myself... but can i say all that crap online is a waiste... isound angrier than i really am | 05:15 |
| thomedy | but a simple series of ps -e | grep "thing i need" worked fine | 05:15 |
| phunyguy | btw Queen`Bee, I am installing wine to test your theory on winrar ;) | 05:15 |
| Guest65873 | ok so now what do i do | 05:16 |
| Queen`Bee | i've been using winrar since the 90s and .iso has never been checked by default | 05:16 |
| phunyguy | we will see. | 05:16 |
| Harlingen | I still love winXP. | 05:17 |
| Harlingen | :P | 05:17 |
| Queen`Bee | i loved it since its beta days but going back to it... its like going back to WinME | 05:17 |
| Harlingen | Really? | 05:17 |
| trage | Guest65873: Did you download the ISO? | 05:18 |
| Harlingen | I've seen programs for Ubuntu the only thing that turned me off was it had an " App Store " | 05:18 |
| Harlingen | You also had to use " Wine " for windows programs. | 05:18 |
| Harlingen | Which is fine I know thats not it's intended purpose. | 05:18 |
| Harlingen | I just really wish I knew what the OS was for.. mainly. | 05:18 |
| Queen`Bee | if you use any desktop manager becides the default one called "unity" that amazon stuff is not present | 05:18 |
| Guest65873 | i belive so | 05:19 |
| Queen`Bee | oh the software center | 05:19 |
| Harlingen | I mean... | 05:19 |
| Queen`Bee | well the software center (or app store) makes things A LOT easier | 05:19 |
| trage | Guest65873: And you are currently using Windows Vista? | 05:19 |
| Harlingen | Windows is for hackers and is easily hacked into etc. | 05:19 |
| Harlingen | iOS is for people who just want to chill out or something. | 05:20 |
| Guest65873 | i wish i was | 05:20 |
| phunyguy | Lets keep this on-topic | 05:20 |
| cfhowlett | !ot please | 05:20 |
| Harlingen | I'm I off topic? | 05:20 |
| Queen`Bee | yes | 05:20 |
| Harlingen | Sorry, I just want to know the difference between the 3. | 05:20 |
| Harlingen | Sparking up conversation thats all. | 05:21 |
| cfhowlett | Harlingen, best we have that talk in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel please | 05:21 |
| * Queen`Bee invites to Harlingen #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:21 | |
| Harlingen | I think I've over stayed my welcome. | 05:21 |
| Harlingen | Thanks guys for the help | 05:21 |
| phunyguy | Queen`Bee, I am afraid you are wrong | 05:22 |
| * Harlingen shakes Queen Bee's Hand. | 05:22 | |
| phunyguy | :) | 05:22 |
| Queen`Bee | whiat version? | 05:22 |
| trage | Guest65873: Okay, what OS are you currently using? | 05:22 |
| phunyguy | 4.11 | 05:22 |
| Queen`Bee | i guess i never made it that far | 05:22 |
| phunyguy | http://i.imgur.com/WfPnAkq.png | 05:23 |
| phunyguy | Queen`Bee, it has been like this for YEARS. | 05:23 |
| Queen`Bee | i believe ya | 05:23 |
| phunyguy | so that is why I said, it was something like WinRAR that is opening the ISO | 05:23 |
| Guest65873 | ubuntu one | 05:24 |
| trage | Guest65873: What kind of computer? | 05:24 |
| Guest65873 | dell inspiron 1520 | 05:24 |
| Guest65873 | it had windows vista | 05:25 |
| trage | Guest65873: Okay little confused... I was under the impression that Ubuntu One was a cloud based storage solution... not an OS like Windows or Ubuntu or MAC OSX. From here you need to burn your ISO that you downloaded to a disk and then boot from the disk. Once you get to that point the Installer will walk you through the rest of the way. If you don't know how to burn an ISO or boot from a disk there are lots of resources and walk throughs online you can google | 05:28 |
| guideX | Windows Vista :) | 05:28 |
| cfhowlett | trage, ubuntu one is similar to dropbox not an OS | 05:29 |
| guideX | I used it before the beta's were out, when it was still called longhorn | 05:29 |
| trage | cfhowlett: Thats what I thought. When i asked Guest65873 what OS they are currently running they told me Ubuntu One. I scratched my head. | 05:29 |
| cfhowlett | trage, :_) | 05:30 |
| Guest65873 | lol | 05:31 |
| trage | :) | 05:31 |
| Guest65873 | i am so lost what i want to do is just get my computer running | 05:32 |
| guideX | I was where you are now two days ago Guest65873 | 05:32 |
| jab416171 | Guest65873: try strapping it to a horse | 05:32 |
| guideX | when my copy of ubuntu 11.04 exploded | 05:32 |
| Guest65873 | lol | 05:32 |
| jab416171 | :) | 05:33 |
| guideX | Guest it's not running? | 05:33 |
| trage | Guest65873: Then I suggest you take it to a professional if you want it done quickly or you can stumble through it like the reest of us did while we actually learned how our computers worked. | 05:33 |
| guideX | how are you here now | 05:33 |
| Guest65873 | i will stumble if their is someone to pick me up | 05:33 |
| trage | Guest65873: Good question. If it doesn't work, are you using a different computer to download? | 05:34 |
| guideX | is it very slow? | 05:34 |
| Guest65873 | no i am on the one with all the problems | 05:34 |
| Guest65873 | where do i go to download the iso can you copy the link for me | 05:35 |
| trage | Guest65873: We are here to pick you up, but you have to catch up on some basics and there are many good tuts out there already. Just focus on one step at a time 1) Get ISO to disc 2) Boot from disc. Google "How to <insert goal here>" and you will be surprised what you can learn. | 05:35 |
| Queen`Bee | when you turn it on, what do you see? windows? ubuntu? it would really help to know what platform so we can properly guide you. dont wanna suggest windows apps and proceedures if your not using windows | 05:36 |

| Brewmaster619 | that link works for me in Chrome | 05:48 |
| phunyguy | is there a "proceed anyway" button, jab416171 ? | 05:48 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: support can not do that. you will have to click the link provided and then take the time to patiently read the instructions on the page. there is no easy way around your problem. | 05:48 |
| jab416171 | yeah phunyguy | 05:48 |

| Guest65873 | I am dumb but not that much | 05:51 |
| Brewmaster619 | I know the dumb iso server at my hotel is blocking me from downloading anything from Adobe (i.e. my outdated flash), nothing I can do about it | 05:51 |
| cfhowlett | Brewmaster619, there it is... | 05:52 |
| Brewmaster619 | fortunately ubuntu isn't blocked...I don't know why they would block Adobe. | 05:53 |
| phunyguy | So I have a question again, I installed the gmail unity-webapp thing, and then removed it, but the icon is still in the indicator-applet envelope. Even after a restart, it remains. How do I remove it? | 05:53 |

| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: you will need access to a pc or laptop with windows, mac osx, or a linux distribution like ubuntu | 05:56 |
| jab416171 | yeah, looks like about an hour ago a ton of chrome users started seeing it | 05:56 |
| Brewmaster619 | maybe try a different browser? | 05:57 |

| jab416171 | nothing? lol | 05:59 |

| phunyguy | definitely not for chrome on windows | 05:59 |
| * cfhowlett phunyguy, it's "You get NOTHING!" | 05:59 | |
| phunyguy | nevermind just chrome | 05:59 |
| Guest65873 | how do you get to the terminal | 06:00 |
| jab416171 | I wasn't really asking for support, was just puzzled why my browser started telling me ubuntu.com was malicious | 06:00 |
| phunyguy | Guest65873, are you in a ubuntu OS? | 06:00 |
| jab416171 | Guest65873: ctrl + alt + T | 06:00 |

| cfhowlett | Guest65873, firefox google? of COURSE that won't work. NO such program. | 06:03 |
| jab416171 | cfhowlett: he typed in "google" into firefox | 06:03 |
| phunyguy | Guest65873, we are losing hope | 06:03 |
| guideX | is there a program like sql yog or ms management studio for linux? where you can manage your mysql server and create new db's (in a ui)? | 06:03 |
| Guest65873 | it looks that way | 06:04 |
| anonymousraptr | Guest65873: you cant be. google chrome is not loaded onto ubuntu. | 06:04 |
| jab416171 | Guest65873: in a terminal, type in "dig google.com" | 06:04 |
| Guest65873 | I guess its going to cost me 100.00 to fix the computer | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | anonymousraptr, not by default. | 06:04 |
| jab416171 | Guest65873: what do you get? | 06:04 |
| anonymousraptr | cfhowlett: at his current user level (unable to find the Dash Home button or even the toolbar) it is beyond his level to have installed chrome. something is fishy here. | 06:05 |

| Queen`Bee | Guest65873, go to ubuntu.com, click download. you want to download the 32bit .iso | 06:16 |
| Brewmaster619 | pardon me, Queen'Bee | 06:16 |
| Guest65873 | yes that is what using | 06:16 |
| jab416171 | Guest65873: you could use lynx or wget | 06:16 |
| jab416171 | and then dd to put it on a flash drive or a CD | 06:16 |
| Brewmaster619 | lynx isn't installed by default..correct me if I'm wrong | 06:17 |
| phunyguy | it's not | 06:17 |
| Gumby | wget is | 06:17 |
| jab416171 | you're correct | 06:17 |
| Guest65873 | good nite | 06:17 |
| Queen`Bee | we gave him a direct link to the .ISO and chrome is blocking it. he needs to manually navigate to ubuntu.com, go to the download page and select 32bit .ISO | 06:17 |
| phunyguy | good night. | 06:17 |
| cfhowlett | Guest65873, good nighht | 06:17 |
| Gumby | Queen`Bee: or use an alternate browser | 06:17 |
| Gumby | Queen`Bee: or wget | 06:17 |
| Gumby | Queen`Bee: he's been given options, he chooses not to listen | 06:17 |
| phunyguy | /headdesk | 06:17 |
| Queen`Bee | unity was too confusing to find firefox apparently and wget is scary and confusing if you dont know linux | 06:18 |
| jab416171 | scary? lol | 06:18 |
| Gumby | and pressing ctrl+f2 and typing "firefox" is too difficult as well? | 06:18 |
| Gumby | sorry, alt+f2 | 06:18 |
| PatrickDickey | Guest65873: You could always try opening a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type sudo apt-get install firefox If it says it's already at the latest version, then you can type firefox & and it should open it. | 06:18 |
| cfhowlett | he left. | 06:18 |
| tomreyn | he did find xchat, though | 06:19 |
| Gumby | heh | 06:19 |
| Brewmaster619 | I think he hosed his video drivers, and that's why he couldn't find unity. | 06:19 |
| jab416171 | was he using xchat? | 06:19 |
| tomreyn | yes | 06:19 |
| Gumby | are you sure? | 06:20 |
| jab416171 | that's not installed by default, right? | 06:20 |
| Gumby | he'd have to made his name "guest" | 06:20 |
| jab416171 | no, his name was mike | 06:20 |
| jab416171 | nickserv made it guest | 06:20 |
| Gumby | ah | 06:20 |
| Queen`Bee | i agree with however told him to take it to some one who knows what they are doing. | 06:21 |
| Queen`Bee | whoever* | 06:21 |
| Queen`Bee | being unable to navigate ubuntu.com is a sign they need more help than we can give | 06:22 |
| anonymousraptr | i think guest65873 was trolling | 06:23 |
| Brewmaster619 | he had the right link; I went to it with my Chrome, and immediately started downloading the iso. | 06:23 |
| jab416171 | Brewmaster619: he found the link? or someone gave it to him? | 06:23 |
| cfhowlett | Brewmaster619, same same and moving on ... | 06:23 |
| Brewmaster619 | jawohl | 06:24 |
| jab416171 | cfhowlett: how long until you gave up? | 06:24 |
| jab416171 | I saw you were the first to help | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | jab416171, 30 minutes. I'm generally pretty patient plus I'm multi-tasking ... | 06:24 |
| jab416171 | not bad | 06:24 |

| dr_willis | first google hit for 'ubuntu blueray' = http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/how-to-get-encrypted-blu-rays-working.html | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | thats using a special vlc ppa it seems.. | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | For Ubuntu 12.10 and newer, you only need to run the last command above | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | which says --> sudo apt-get install vlc libaacs0 libbluray-bdj libbluray1 | 06:28 |
| Brewmaster619 | I've nevr had a bluray..maybe sometime. any troubel with tem, other than non-free formats? | 06:28 |
| gnomefreak | we are not installing bluray players by default? | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | I can think of otehr defaults i need more then a BR player | 06:30 |
| Queen`Bee | blueray uses nonfree codec | 06:31 |
| gnomefreak | libbluray1 is default | 06:31 |
| gnomefreak | you can install non-free apps during install | 06:31 |
| gnomefreak | what is SpaceFM? | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | !info spacefm | 06:33 |
| ubottu | Package spacefm does not exist in quantal | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | dont sound familer to me | 06:33 |
| dr_willis | SpaceFM is a multi-panel tabbed file and desktop manager for Linux with built-in VFS, udev- or HAL-based device manager, | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | http://ignorantguru.github.com/spacefm/ | 06:34 |
| gnomefreak | me neither but im reading an article that mentions it while talking about gtk3 | 06:34 |
| gnomefreak | im reading one of his rants right now | 06:35 |
| gnomefreak | http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | looks like a file manager that comes on the gparted live cd.. | 06:36 |
| PatrickDickey | I'd say if ubuntu detects a blue-ray drive, then it should install the codecs (if you chose to install non-free ones). Otherwise not. | 06:36 |
| gnomefreak | ah | 06:36 |
| anonymousraptr | is there a terminal that is transparent the way that the default term in backtrack 5 is transparent? | 06:36 |
| Queen`Bee | you can configure it to be tansparent | 06:37 |
| Queen`Bee | edit -> prefs -> appearance | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | most of the terminal apps can have a transparany option.. | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | compiz can make ANY window transparent.. ;) with the right plugin | 06:37 |
| makara- | hi. I can't get to the OK button on a dialog in Avidemux. Is there any way of shrinking the window, or maybe dragging it past the top of the desktop. If I right-click the titlebar > move, I can drag it past the left, right and bottom, but not up. | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | Nothing to do with any backtrack 'features' '_ | 06:38 |
| gnomefreak | anonymousraptr: i use gnome-terminal and i can change the setting for transparent | 06:38 |
| Queen`Bee | makara-, press alt+spacebar and select move | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | makara-: hold alt key. click anywhere. drag... | 06:38 |
| makara- | dr_willis, yes! | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | or check the work space switcher.. and you can drag it across 2 workspaces and have the extra buttons on the 2nd workspace | 06:39 |
| makara- | both | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | you can move thingsd in the workspace switcher also | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | people over look that feature | 06:39 |
| Queen`Bee | i forget about it | 06:39 |
| makara- | dr_willis, I thought it was CTRL 'cause that's what Photoshop uses | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | never used photo shop... | 06:40 |
| makara- | great app | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | X has the alt-click to move feature.. its been a feaature for decades | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | I dont want or need photoshop.. ;P | 06:40 |
| makara- | haha | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | I dont want anything to do with adobe either. | 06:40 |

| gnomefreak | i still have feisty on one of my laptops | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | i cant stand trasparent terminals.. it just makes the text harder to read | 06:45 |
| blake | or anonymousraptr use Guake :D | 06:45 |

| gnomefreak | yep sometimes it does. i have mine set about half | 06:45 |

| dr_willis | Theres also some alternatives to the ~ type pop down terminals i recall.. | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | seen a few new ones here in the last few months | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | !info tilda | 06:46 |

| gnomefreak | i used to love guake | 06:47 |
| gnomefreak | but it was too big for me and i didnt know how to make it smaller | 06:47 |
| anonymousraptr | terminal is so much easier to use now. | 06:47 |
| gnomefreak | you could always use screen :) | 06:48 |
| jab416171 | is there a terminal that re-wraps the text when you resize it, like the mac terminal? | 06:48 |
| gnomefreak | and if someone learns it teach it to me | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/107481/drop-down-terminal-as-smooth-as-gnome-shells-looking-glass | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | screen is not hard to learn. but i tend to use tmux more these days | 06:48 |
| jab416171 | gnomefreak: I hear tmux is better | 06:48 |
| blake | by the way, dr_willis can I ask something about changing white space background to black? | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | what white space background? | 06:49 |
| blake | with all these whites spaces, It hurts my eyes T_T and I don't want to use high contrast..is there alternative way? | 06:49 |
| blake | like, opening a window, like say my folder, then on the background its all white.. | 06:50 |
| blake | how do I change this? | 06:50 |
| jab416171 | do any of you know of a terminal that re-wraps the text when you resize it, like the mac terminal? | 06:50 |
| gnomefreak | apperance? | 06:50 |
| dr_willis | jab416171: never seen one | 06:50 |
| jab416171 | dr_willis: have you seen the mac terminal? | 06:51 |
| Brewmaster619 | that would be nice, but never seen one. | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | jab416171: years and years ago... | 06:51 |
| jab416171 | haha | 06:51 |
| aeon-ltd | dr_willis: before you got your doctorate? | 06:51 |

| jab416171 | most of the employees at my company use macs | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | Im still working on it... :) you never really master becomming a Dr of Love. | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | My old iMACdv only real use as as a ssh terminal. ;) | 06:52 |
| blake | @gnomefreak using appearance, I can't seem to find a way to alter the white space background.. | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | blake: theres dozens of other themes you an install and play with.. i get a lot from the webupd8 and omgubuntu sites ppas and reccomendations | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | blake: i doubt if youa re going to find any tweaking settings for it.. you will have to try out other themes | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | issues ihave with darker 'background' is that then in some cases you cant see text in dialogs.. like black text on a darkbackground | 06:53 |
| blake | yeah..I was just wishing to change this one thing. and not the entire theme I have.. :) anyways.. thanks | 06:53 |
| blake | well, if I have dark background, It will not hurt my eyes, and yea, I'll make text in white. :) | 06:54 |
| dr_willis | there was some theme i saw that you could sort of tweak all the colors.. but i forget what it was called | 06:54 |
| gnomefreak | dr_willis: i dont understand omgubuntu it seems to just be ads | 06:54 |
| gnomefreak | i need wallpapers | 06:55 |

| Cub | how do i get wine to automatically open .exe files on ubuntu 12.04? | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | if they are executable it should do that allready | 07:00 |
| gnomefreak | that seems awfully dangerous to open .exe automatically | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | when you double click them | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | i find the idea nasty also. ;) | 07:00 |
| Cub | it opens with another program | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | what other program? | 07:00 |
| Cub | archive manager | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | theres a wine-preloader-app thats is ran | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | which archive manager? | 07:01 |
| cfhowlett | Cub, not the best idea ... | 07:01 |
| Cub | i have to right click > and select open with wine loader | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | i wouls suggest sticking to the right-click to run... method... | 07:01 |
| Cub | Just Archive Manager for Gnome | 07:01 |
| gnomefreak | that is teh safest way to do it | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | it can save you a lot of grief | 07:01 |
| Cub | are .exe files used on *nix anyways natively? | 07:01 |
| Cub | just curious | 07:01 |
| gnomefreak | s/teh/the | 07:01 |
| cfhowlett | Cub, not natively | 07:02 |
| Cub | because i dont see how a windows virus embedded in a .exe could do anythign to a nix system, maybe screw up wine | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | they can delete all your users files in their home.. which could include stuff in your dropbox and other online accounts.. | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | or infect stuff on them | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | system should be safe.. but your homework... not so much | 07:03 |
| Cub | that could go for nearly any program though right? | 07:03 |
| cfhowlett | Cub, or infect your contact list ... | 07:03 |
| Cub | hmm okay yeah | 07:03 |
| cfhowlett | Cub, definitely could infect your .pdf's | 07:03 |

| dr_willis | fedor: you could at least give a small sumamry of the issue | 07:10 |
| shoop | I have a question for everyone how much cpu should my system be using as a general range I'm currently running ubuntu 12.04 | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | shoop: sitting idling in X11 here with irc going.. a few % points | 07:10 |
| shoop | well its at about 80% | 07:10 |
| fedor | i guess i can copy the issue discussed there. the webcam works OK in cheese and skype, but in Chrome and Firefox (flash 11.2 plugin) it only shows a green screen, I think it is probably a flash plugin issue... | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | shoop: use htop - see whats usong it all | 07:11 |
| shoop | its compiz | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | fedor: yep, flash and webcams seem tobe4 a common issue. | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | shoop: that is weird. What video chipset? | 07:11 |

| aeon-ltd | shoop: running what you said, 80% is reasonable. to truly test if it's still 80% idling you'd have to make sure the processes in top/htop are not running then wait for the next few updates | 07:21 |

| bazhang | N03L, ubuntu support. did you have a support questiion? | 08:09 |
| N03L | cfhowlett: cheers for the warm welcome. | 08:09 |
| N03L | bazhang: yea I do. | 08:09 |
| bazhang | N03L, then ask it | 08:09 |
| N03L | Is it ideal to use the actual linux terminal to write html? Or am I better off using something like notepad etc. | 08:10 |
| N03L | Just wondering if the former is possible. If so, how do I go about doing that? | 08:10 |
| iceroot | N03L: use the editor which you can handle best | 08:10 |
| iceroot | N03L: some are using an editor on the cli (vim, emacs), some are using an editor with a gui | 08:11 |
| cfhowlett | N03L, matter of opinion. Use what works for you. | 08:11 |
| N03L | iceroot: Is it possible to just use the ubuntu terminal? | 08:11 |
| iceroot | N03L: with a cli-based editor, yes of course | 08:11 |
| iceroot | !editor | N03L | 08:12 |

| N03L | Ok cheers guys. | 08:12 |
| iceroot | N03L: normally there is nothing you can only do in a GUI, on GNU/Linux there is normally also a way to do it on the CLI (and normally that is faster then using the gui) but it depends on the skill, preferences and so on | 08:13 |

| theadmin | MoL0ToV: You can search history with arrow keys (up/down). Seems reasonable enough to me. | 08:58 |

| SAngeli | thank you for anyone who can share some answer with me | 09:02 |
| theadmin | ANub: There is no functionality in Skype that would need root priveleges. | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | ANub, ok, I have to ask; what skype functionality are you missing as non-root | 09:02 |
| ANub | <cfhowlett> to be specific .........sending file without root crashes the application | 09:02 |
| ANub | <cfhowlett> I've submitted it on launchpad as well as on Skype bug report | 09:02 |
| cfhowlett | ANub, i'd suspect a misformed installation then. I send files all the time as non-root with no issue. | 09:02 |
| theadmin | ANub: Remove your users' Skype configuration (it's stored in ~/.Skype) and try again | 09:03 |

| cfhowlett | ANub, theadmin's excellent suggestion; delete the user's skype config and start over. | 09:04 |

| cfhowlett | ANub, good luck. really hope it works. don't forget to purge the user configs as well. In fact, a little apt-get purge && apt-get autoremove might be just the thing. | 09:09 |

| changer | guys plz help, i need to find a way to get my screen working without cutting off 10px either side | 09:10 |
| changer | i went from windows 8 (i hate windows 8 ) i now am running opensuse , switching to ubuntu, can i resize screen res there ? | 09:12 |
| changer | cuz when i tried it in opensuse , i got epic errors :-) | 09:13 |
| Nickinator | Should be able to, what video card were you using? | 09:13 |
| Oweoqi | yeah you can | 09:13 |
| BotaniCar | "epic errors" mean they were written in purple ? Aww <3 | 09:13 |
| changer | im using an hd 6500 m (its an faster rebranded 6310 i read) | 09:14 |
| theadmin | sveinse: You can use expr: expr $string : \\.conf > 0 | 09:14 |
| changer | nah epic errors was more like video freeze up | 09:15 |
| Nickinator | That's an AMD Radon isn't it? | 09:15 |
| theadmin | sveinse: Err, make that: expr $string : \\.conf$ > 0 | 09:15 |
| changer | all was perfect, only in playback of hd video the system couldnt handle it, updated drivers etc, but i recon its better to switch to ubuntu, givving it an try | 09:15 |
| changer | yep its an radeon | 09:16 |
| Nickinator | I know there are a selection of AMD Video driver packages for Ubuntu, I'm sure they would've been available in OpenSUSE but probably not as accessible, | 09:16 |
| changer | well i downloaded the update package from amd site | 09:17 |
| changer | worked quite well , but the problem occurs when i need to shave off 10 pix from my resolution so it will be visible on my tv screen | 09:18 |
| Nickinator | I'd try the Ubuntu Live CD, that way you can try it out without wiping everything, | 09:18 |
| Nickinator | I'd also try modifying the X configuration, | 09:18 |
| changer | then desktop etc works fine, but playback video , and it tries to kill you lol | 09:18 |
| changer | hmmm good tip :) , i can try :) | 09:18 |
| changer | just hope this crap tv wont give me more problems lol :P | 09:19 |

| vnc786 | hi everyone | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, if you are speaking of user settings, go into the user /home, display hidden folders and delete everything. Better yet, create a NEW user, log out, login and all those settings will be default. | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | vnc786, greetings | 09:41 |
| gnomefreak | i don thtink there is an easy way if it is possible at all | 09:42 |
| vnc786 | i got my Sata HDD 500 GB. it's head is damage because making noise and I/O is very slow so i have got new HDD 750gb. What is the best way to copy/clone complete old hdd to new hdd. i am having systemrescuecd. what i now is use dd cmd. but want to know is there any gud option which i dont know. | 09:42 |
| gnomefreak | hi vnc786 | 09:42 |
| cfhowlett | !dd|vnc786, | 09:42 |
| gnomefreak | vnc786: save what you want on a usb stick than just transfer the files | 09:43 |
| sveinse | Is there any way to the the return status of the first command in a pipe sequence in dash? | 09:43 |
| wdp | vnc786, if your old disc is damaged I'd take a look at gddrescue. dd stops on the first error; gddrescue not. | 09:43 |
| hillary | cfhowlett, sorry i meant the software update center settings | 09:43 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, ah, so software sources and such??? | 09:43 |
| hillary | cfhowlett, exactly! | 09:44 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, wait one, I've got the link to do it ... | 09:44 |
| vnc786 | cfhowlett: gnomefreak: i got 490gb data on old hdd and since I/O is damn slow so was wondering how shuld i proceed | 09:44 |
| hillary | cfhowlett, ok | 09:44 |

| cfhowlett | hillary, Restore Ubuntu to default settings without reinstalling ... http://www.kingletas.com/2012/07/restore-ubuntu-to-the-default-settings-without-re-installing-it.html | 09:45 |
| gnomefreak | vnc786: with that much im not sure | 09:45 |
| flintser | vnc786: install new system to new hdd, install old hdd to the computer and you can copy what you need from there | 09:46 |
| hillary | cfhowlett, Thanks let me read it | 09:46 |
| gnomefreak | that sounds way too easy | 09:46 |
| cfhowlett | vnc786, you might be better off just clean installing your system and take the failing HDD to a data recovery specialist...just sayin' | 09:46 |
| gnomefreak | now that i can get behide but im going to guess it will not be cheap | 09:47 |
| vnc786 | cfhowlett: i can access my data using systemrescue cd :) | 09:48 |
| cfhowlett | gnomefreak, depends on what needs to be save, innit? | 09:48 |
| flintser | why not so what i suggested? you can also try reflect (win software) to take an imageof the old setup. then extract it on your new hdd | 09:49 |
| flintser | not that it will take a looooong time.. | 09:49 |
| flintser | note* | 09:49 |
| kjelle | .o/ I have an upstart script stuck in "stop/killed" or "start/killed". The process ID does not exist. How do i clean this up, so i can fix my script= | 09:50 |

Our Kenya government is embracing open source softwares hence positioning my self. Thanks. | 09:50 |
| llutz | vnc786: if and of shouldn't be equal | 09:51 |
| flintser | vnc786: if it is a desktop pc install both hdd:s into it and copy paste what you need. (clean install on new hdd) | 09:51 |
| llutz | vnc786: you should set bs=yyM to speed it up a bit | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, I'm not the one ask ... just a hobbyist/user. but the guru's and full bearded turtle neck experts here and in #ubuntu-server can probably advise you ... | 09:52 |
| vnc786 | llutz: yes need some parameter help what shuld i keep like bs=???? | 09:52 |
| nb-ben | vnc786: it's okay, but it will transfer one byte block at each write instead of a bigger block like llutz said, so if you want it faster then you should indeed specify a block size using bs=NNNN | 09:52 |
| llutz | vnc786: bs=4M is a value giving reasonable speed here (while dd always will be slow) | 09:53 |
| nb-ben | why would dd always be slow? | 09:53 |
| nb-ben | it's one of the fastest writing methods as far as I know | 09:53 |
| === bubulle_ is now known as leagris | ||
| flintser | dd is for exact copying it should be slower than others | 09:54 |
| wdp | flintser, i'd be interested in "than others" what alternatives do you have? The only way to achieve more speed would be the use of cat, not sure how useful that is. And "for exact copying" is misleading - Many tools are for that. Or do you get different files out if you use cp and rsync? :) | 09:56 |
| wdp | vnc786, again: if you disc got errors (check dmesg and smartctl) you might rather want to use gddrescue instead of dd. Otherwise it might well happen that the copy-process will stop in the middle and you can start again. | 09:57 |
| hillary | cfhowlett, ok i will try ask | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | hillary, very best of luck to you. | 09:58 |
| wdp | dd does not need to know the filesystem, hence copies _everything_ which is why dd will have to copy _more_ and which is why it is slower. by the way. | 09:58 |
| flintser | wdp: thats what i meant... tried to simplify | 09:59 |
| vnc786 | wdp: whenever i start pc the bios give me error i.e there is problem with drive i used smartctl to check it also says there is error with drive but i am just googling gddrescue havent heard abt can u tell me more how do i use it | 10:00 |

| Korny2 | what do you mean? | 11:18 |
| Chiko | i have a program called a.out in a folder 0.1.3 | 11:19 |
| Korny2 | put the full path in it | 11:19 |
| Chiko | if im in 0.1.3 i can just type ./a.out | 11:19 |
| Chiko | when i try the full path i get Segmentation fault (core dumped) so i must be doing something wrong | 11:19 |

| mcurran | In the past I have successfully added a background to grub2 menu. But this time around, I wanted to change the text (make it bold/bigger and modify the colors) and I would be psyched. I finally got my picture to be used as the background, but there's a big black box covering the whole picture besides the border, what's the deal with that? Is there a grub-dev channel I can go to for help that anyone might know of? | 11:20 |

| Chiko | the program? | 11:20 |
| ntr0py | current directorty | 11:20 |
| Chiko | ah | 11:20 |
| Chiko | the program does access a file within its current directory | 11:21 |
| ntr0py | that _may_ be it? | 11:21 |
| Chiko | but if the file didn't exist it would create it | 11:21 |
| Chiko | and it also shows a message before reading any file so i would see that | 11:22 |
| ntr0py | Chiko, launch it with ldd or even strace maybe to see what is going on? | 11:22 |
| Chiko | hmm | 11:23 |
| Chiko | few /usr/lib/x64_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so files~ | 11:23 |
| ntr0py | those propably arent problems there | 11:24 |
| Chiko | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=W0bkbWyk | 11:24 |
| Chiko | yep it was that thanks | 11:26 |
| Chiko | strace helped | 11:26 |
| ntr0py | try launching it with strace from different directory to see the last syscalls before it secfaults | 11:26 |
| Chiko | fails on loading a file open("blah.txt", O_RDONLY); | 11:26 |
| Chiko | so just need to figure out how to run the app but also tell it to use its current directory | 11:27 |
| ntr0py | simplest would be a shell wrapper like sh -c 'cd /to/whatever/place; a.out' | 11:28 |
| ntr0py | or any other wrapper eg | 11:28 |
| ntr0py | start-stop-daemon | 11:28 |
| Chiko | you sir | 11:29 |

| nb-ben | flcl: that's configuration you have to do with your webserver + dns server | 11:34 |
| ichat1 | ActionParsnip: - the thing i liked about the start buttun was that if there was / is somthing avail that you do not know of... you can browse to it... | 11:34 |
| ichat1 | for example / start / system / configuration / network / some odd feature you never use a 2nd time in your life... .. browsing there via logic at times works batter than searching for the correct cli command.. even if you would add seach to the cli its not automagically a gui replacement... | 11:34 |
| nb-ben | flcl: you're probably using apache2 and bind or your dns might be some other software | 11:34 |

| booboo | texla: yeah. but try it anyway. works for me | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jimaji123: copy and paste the command, instead of trying to type it | 13:00 |

| dr_willis | Mrokii: you mean sounds in flash games? or what sounds? | 13:00 |

| dr_willis | !java | timgd | 13:03 |
| ubottu | timgd: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| dr_willis | thats definatly NOT a default/standard sources.list file | 13:20 |
| jimaji123 | .Well, send me link were you downloaded ubuntu from | 13:20 |

| ActionParsnip | lots easier | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1608662/ | 13:21 |

| jimaji123 | Ok | 13:22 |
| jimaji123 | I did. | 13:22 |
| jimaji123 | Now what... | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jimaji123: did a file download? | 13:22 |
| jimaji123 | I dont know. | 13:22 |

| flintser | i use it for some games, nothing else | 13:32 |

| kmc_ | Hi All, can anyone tell me a KDE/Qt app which will allow me to use my PC to render dlna audio from a server on my lan? | 13:33 |
| Yizi | here are no rules | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | flintser: it will come | 13:34 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ vlc | 13:34 |
| kmc_ | ntr0py: Doesnt woprk. Could yopu be more pecific? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. | 13:34 |
| kmc_ | specific* | 13:35 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ its hidden in the playlist somewhere | 13:35 |
| kmc_ | I know what you're referring to, but it doesn't work. I start the server (my phone) it sees my mythtv setup, but VLC does not show the phone as an available server | 13:36 |
| kmc_ | curiously, vlc doesn't show the myth server either | 13:36 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I run a ubuntu netbook system that I turned into my server for vnc, a wifi router, and various other stuff through a bit of googling, but I can't seem to find an answer for this question though, I would like my ubuntu netbook system to boot into a "server" mode by default, no gui, but at times I'd like to manually start unity (or any other desktop window manager) so I may start firefox to troubleshoot issues with internet | 13:37 |
| ShapeShifter499 | or have it so I could start vnc or push X11 apps to another computer, any ideas on what I can do? | 13:37 |
| TakeItEZ | !nox | ShapeShifter499 | 13:37 |
| ubottu | ShapeShifter499: 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 | 13:37 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ in the playlist under local network it should show up... hmmm but here it doesnt display it neither... maybe it needs an additional module? | 13:38 |
| === geudrik|AFK is now known as geudrik | ||
| Yizi | @TakeItEZ any other ideaS? | 13:38 |
| TakeItEZ | Yizi: sry no | 13:38 |
| Yizi | Thanks anyway | 13:39 |
| TakeItEZ | Yizi: you'd check "tracepath www.google.com" where it stops. check router-settings again... | 13:39 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ oooh if i run "sudo vlc-wrapper" it shows up there... hmm its some kind of network permission problem | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: moveing apps from one X desktop to another.. is a trick icve seen done a few timnes in the past.. but its was never a well done thing | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: best way. have individual vnc instances for each app. you can connect to from each desktop | 13:40 |
| ShapeShifter499 | TakeItEZ, I'm assuming I'd run "unity" or "gnome-session" to start a window manager correct? | 13:40 |
| TakeItEZ | ShapeShifter499: "startx" | 13:40 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ but vlc shouldnt be run as root for sure | 13:40 |
| Yizi | good point there, stops after the gateway 192.168.201.250 | 13:40 |
| kmc_ | ntr0py: well spotted, I'll keep trying ... thanks for the help so far man | 13:41 |
| TakeItEZ | Yizi: so examine your router-settings | 13:41 |
| Yizi | doing it now | 13:41 |
| === geudrik is now known as geudrik|AFK | ||
| ShapeShifter499 | TakeItEZ, dr_willis I've noticed that some updates to grub, wipe out my default config, I may forget I have "text" set, any more permanent solution? | 13:41 |
| ShapeShifter499 | dr_willis, I didn't know you could have individual vnc sessions for each app | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: if you edit /etc/default/grub it should ask if its going to chanve that file | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: just run a minimal window manager + the app... | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: you DONT have to set up vnc to share the current visible desktop.. thats a windows limitation ;) | 13:43 |
| === geudrik|AFK is now known as geudrik | ||
| Yizi | worked! ok problem was the GW | 13:43 |
| ShapeShifter499 | dr_willis, I've successively forwarded X11 apps to my android device, old PowerBook G4 running 10.5, and another laptop with ubuntu just fine btw | 13:43 |
| ShapeShifter499 | through ssh -x | 13:44 |
| dr_willis | but you asked how to move the apps back and forth.. thats a totally differnt sort of task | 13:44 |
| Yizi | big ups for @TakeItEZ thanks | 13:44 |
| TakeItEZ | Yizi: wrong vlan settings? | 13:44 |
| kmc_ | ntr0py: I don't even see the myth server in vlc as root | 13:44 |
| Yizi | changed the interface settings restarted the service and boom | 13:44 |
| ShapeShifter499 | back in forth? no I meant forwarding them via ssh -x | 13:44 |

| Yizi | UK here | 13:45 |
| linuxman44 | UK is a dump | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: ive seen tricks where you open app on pc1. then push it to the desktop of pc2 | 13:45 |
| Yizi | agreed | 13:45 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ hmm i just did a clean install on x64 quantal "sudo apt-get install vlc" and then it showed up only as root here | 13:45 |
| dr_willis | your use of the term push ;) is confuseing heh.. | 13:45 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ah no I never have done that | 13:45 |
| ShapeShifter499 | dr_willis, sorry | 13:46 |
| ShapeShifter499 | nor do I know how to | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | ShapeShifter499: its a idea that people ask about every so often.. a neat idea.. but not really a doable idea | 13:46 |
| ShapeShifter499 | sounds like you would need the same libraries on both comps, instead of just running a X11 server on the other | 13:47 |
| dr_willis | you are still just running the app on one pc.. you are just changeing the DISPLAY on the fly... | 13:49 |
| dr_willis | I did it.. years ago... just to see if it could be done. ;) | 13:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | cool | 13:50 |
| ShapeShifter499 | would be only good for apps like firefox where you might want to pick up where you left off somewhere else | 13:51 |
| ShapeShifter499 | on another pc | 13:51 |

| Dave77 | which text editors do you all use? I tried vim, emacs but find them too difficult to use.. | 14:08 |
| ntr0py | kmc_, "sudo apt-get install djmount" "mkdir ~/upnp" then you can browse in ~/upnp with any player you like | 14:08 |
| ntr0py | it uses fuse | 14:08 |
| ska | Dave77: vim is the standard one, so it makes sense to spend time to learn it. There is no perfect editor. | 14:08 |
| kmc_ | ntr0py: word from the VLC folks is that it can't be a renderer | 14:09 |

| ntr0py | i doubt that | 14:10 |
| kmc_ | ntr0py: That's whaty I was told in #videolan | 14:10 |
| kmc_ | there's a difference between being able to play from a source discovered using upnpo, and being a dlna renderer | 14:11 |
| ShapeShifter499 | TakeItEZ, I rebooted this system remotely, I just walked over to it to see what it looked like, not that it bothers me too much but the main screen it shows TTY1 doesn't have a cli login instead its just blank with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, I have to Ctrl+Alt F2 to get a cli login, know why? | 14:11 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ im not sure if i understand the terminology right here but "renderer" sounds to me like "player" which can discover and play | 14:11 |
| Dave77 | is there anyway to switch off brace {} matching in vim...? it slows my armbox down.. lags bad.. | 14:11 |
| kmc_ | renderer, means i can leave it running on my PC, ans send audio to it emotely from another device | 14:13 |
| TakeItEZ | ShapeShifter499: no idea. | 14:13 |
| ntr0py | kmc_ aaah ok like a service | 14:13 |
| Pici | Dave77: I'd ask in #vim | 14:13 |
| kmc_ | yeh I guess it could be a service but really, it should be something transient whioch advertises itself when it becomes available | 14:14 |
| ShapeShifter499 | TakeItEZ, ok well, other than that everything seems fine, hostapd (for my wifi router) and other services restarted just fine | 14:14 |

| ActionParsnip | Beginner: what is 'Ubuntu RT'? | 14:32 |
| Beginner | Ubuntu Real Time | 14:32 |
| mysteriousdarren | philinux: I would create an admin user, and then later create seperate home directories. Plus make sure you change permissions for the rest as well | 14:32 |
| tongcx | what does /q query means? | 14:32 |
| philinux | mysteriousdarren: the users directories will not be formatted as home on sep partition | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Beginner: you will need the kernel headers, then compile the driver | 14:33 |

| dr_willis | Beginner: you would compile the module for your kernel | 14:34 |

| === slank_away is now known as slank | ||
| dr_willis | Beginner: sudo modprobe modulename | 14:35 |
| TakeItEZ | dr_willis: therefor he had to move the .ko into the /lib/modules/* and run depmod -a before | 14:36 |
| ntr0py | Beginner, but remember you have to redo this on every kernel update or automate it with dkms somehow | 14:36 |
| dr_willis | TakeItEZ: normally one dosent just move modules around or copy/download them from places.. ;) so im not sure what hes doing.. but i bet its going to be wrong | 14:36 |

| dr_willis | huttan: theres #ubuntu-server | 14:50 |
| huttan | dr_willis: thanks | 14:50 |
| ntr0py | maybe the definition for chromium-brower in appamor is messed up somehow? i dont want to disable it completely since its a browser | 14:51 |
| dr_willis | ntr0py: ive not heasrd of anyone else with the issues.. but theres been some flash/browser chaos over the last few days | 14:51 |

| dr_willis | kmc__: names of what? | 14:59 |
| MadEchidna | no WINE buffs around eh | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kmc__: vlc 2.0 can do it | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | MadEchidna: tried in #winehq | 14:59 |

| kmc__ | ActionParsnip: #videolan tell me it cannot. on top of that, nobody knows how to even get the upnp service discovery to work, so it cant even be a client | 15:00 |
| kmc__ | let me explain.... | 15:00 |
| dr_willis | kmc__: use djmount and any video player can access the dlna servers on the network.. | 15:01 |
| === pabst^ is now known as Guest53368 | ||
| dr_willis | just loaded vlc here.. it sees my dlna server downstairs.. | 15:01 |
| _methods | kmc__: if you're looking for a backend transcoder i'd try plex or serviio | 15:01 |
| ntr0py | kmc__, what exactly you want do accomplish? | 15:02 |
| kmc__ | i pick up my phone, which is a upnp server. it has media on it. likewise, so does my myth server. The phone can see the myth server as a source of music, or play music from the phone itself. Then, you can choose a renderer....this is the device (hopefully my ubuintu nachine) that will actually recieve that music and play it. | 15:02 |
| hillary | ActionParsnip, kindly resend it again i have missed and the earlier link is invisible. | 15:02 |
| ryankask | where are keyboard layout options stored? | 15:03 |
| Niladem | hi | 15:03 |
| everestt | Wanted to try out Musique 1.2.1, got this message: "./musique: error while loading shared libraries: libphonon.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" ...what's happening? and how do I solve this? | 15:03 |
| dr_willis | kmc__: xbmc can be a target for that i belive.. i saw that setting just the other day in the xbmc options | 15:03 |
| kmc__ | so... android... dlna control... chosse source (mythtv server, phone, any other dlna server on the lan)...choose music to play...choose renderer...sound comes out of renderer | 15:04 |

| phet | hi! any recommended program for basic video edition? | 15:04 |
| phet | like making the video much smaller in size, or making some parts of it to run faster | 15:04 |
| dr_willis | you need a client that can be controlled by other upnp devices.. | 15:04 |
| kmc__ | dr_willis: I don't need all the other features though, just the renderer...don't want to be always running xbmc and myth on one machine,,,, | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | phet: numerous tools in the repos for that. | 15:05 |
| phet | dr_willis: can you name a few? or how can I search them? | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | kmc__: you have to have somthing running for it to see what to render to.. so its up to you i guess.. use an app like the ubuntu-controler android app to start xbmc when you need to render to it perhaps. | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | phet: ffmpeg. mencoder, and the dozens of front ends to them. then you have the nonlinear video editor tools | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | :~$ apt-cache search video editor | 15:06 |
| Niladem | i love windows | 15:06 |
| kmc__ | dr_willis: that defeats the plug-n-play purpse of upnp. This needs to work for a random dude who walks into my lan with an iphone and no knowledge of my system or anything technical | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | kmc__: so you want him to be able to walk in.. and start playing porn on your pc while you or the kids are doing word processing? | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | with no control? | 15:07 |
| phet | dr_willis: whats the difference between linear and non linear? | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | phet: no idea really. ;) | 15:07 |
| kmc__ | dr_willis: yes. | 15:08 |

| g0bl1n | SoundConverter still not working for FLV's, right ? | 15:28 |
| compdoc | Noriandir, which vnc server do you use? vino? Port 5900 is for desktop sharing, meaning someone has to be logged onto the console | 15:28 |
| Noriandir | compdoc, i've tried vino and x11vncserver | 15:28 |
| compdoc | well, ubuntu has no firewall out of the box | 15:29 |
| compdoc | does it work locally? | 15:29 |
| ntr0py | kmc__, http://gmrender.nongnu.org/ works here as renderer i compiled it "./gmediarenderer" is uses gstreamer to render/play and can be controlled with "./gupnp-av-cp" or android controlpoint i guess to play songs from my avm fritzbox upnp server. but the renderer is cmdline only it seems | 15:29 |
| Salyangoz | Hello can i get newbie help here? | 15:29 |
| compdoc | you want help to be a newbie? | 15:30 |
| Noriandir | compdoc, yes. with both vino and x11vncserver. but not with other pc in the network | 15:30 |
| ntr0py | kmc__, neat its only 76 kb | 15:30 |
| compdoc | Noriandir, i dont understand what you mean. You cannot connect to the computer from another pc on the same lan? that must mean its not working | 15:31 |
| Salyangoz | I was wondering if I could access my ntfs partition on a backup hdd if I deleted another partiton (i didnt know existed) flagged as boot | 15:32 |
| Salyangoz | I believe the boot flagged 200mb partition is preventing me from accessing the data of said backup partiton | 15:32 |
| Salyangoz | I cant access the drive either from windows or my usb ubuntu os | 15:33 |

I don't get the "Run in terminal Display Cancel Run" anymore. The file is marked as "Allow executing..". Is there something I can reset to get the default behaviour? | 15:38 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 15:38 |
| Salyangoz | Sorry disconnected | 15:39 |
| dr_willis | karpuragauram: make sure theres no /forcefsck file perhaps? | 15:39 |
| passion | too bad because most of my memory is already ate up …even though linux is lighter on resources I am sure w/ parallels installed the memory will be pretty much spent | 15:39 |

| SAngeli | I do not get anything in return | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | TomyLobo2: the google chrome package does that i recall.. | 15:57 |
| TomyLobo2 | so does steam | 15:57 |
| TakeItEZ | TomyLobo2: add-apt-repository exists | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: no idea on that.. It should be installed allready | 15:57 |
| SAngeli | ok. I will look into this | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | and see. ;) | 15:58 |
| TomyLobo2 | TakeItEZ, that adds to sources.list, no? | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | TomyLobo2: no it does not | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | TomyLobo2 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/STUFF | 15:59 |
| TomyLobo2 | but the manpage says it does | 15:59 |
| TakeItEZ | TomyLobo2: either sources.list or sources.list.d according to man-page | 15:59 |
| dr_willis | these days you rarely see anything touching the actual sources.list | 15:59 |
| TomyLobo2 | TakeItEZ, so it randomly picks? :) | 15:59 |
| dr_willis | except in badly done blogs. ;) and guides that are written by old timers. | 15:59 |
| Vivekananda | I have asked this before but just t confirm. I have lucid and gnome in it was easier on my system. Now lucid is complaining about partial or full upgrade and I would like to go the next lTS. But I heard that precise is very resource heavy. Also I am afraid of breaking programs that I installed manually ( non repo) . I need advice on both these | 16:00 |
| dr_willis | ppa entries are in sources.list.d | 16:00 |
| TakeItEZ | TomyLobo2: nope, ppas are created in sources.list.d, all other patterns in sources.list (as i read it) | 16:00 |
| TomyLobo2 | yep. my repo is not a ppa | 16:00 |
| TomyLobo2 | ergo it goes to sources.list | 16:00 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: Lubuntu is a light desktop good for lower end pcs./ | 16:01 |
| TakeItEZ | TomyLobo2: true, so forget about add-apt-repo, its crap | 16:01 |
| ntr0py | kmc__, there is also rygel for gnome in the repos works even nicer | 16:01 |
| TomyLobo2 | so, .deb that adds it :P | 16:01 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, I see what you mean. I only had to type sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda1 | 16:01 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: i dont think mkfs.ntfs is part of the ntfs-3g packag3e. ;) | 16:02 |
| testk | Bot2help: i dont think mkfs.ntfs is part of the ntfs-3g packag3e. ;) | 16:02 |
| dr_willis | may be part of the ntfsutils package | 16:02 |

| ntr0py | kmc__, actually "rygel-playbin" | 16:02 |

| felp | Guys is there anyway to take drivers from backtrack to ubuntu? | 16:02 |
| testk | Sry for my test | 16:02 |
| dr_willis | felp: drivers for what? | 16:03 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, well. What to do than? I need to format the hd with the NTFS filesystem and all I know is that I have to use ntfs-3g | 16:03 |
| felp | Like i have 2 devices that work in back track that dont ubuntu 2 network iterfaces | 16:03 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: Err.. No.. You dont have to use ntfs-3g to FORMAT.. | 16:03 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: your command will format it to ntfs just fine. | 16:03 |
| TakeItEZ | !find /sbin/mkfs.ntfs | 16:03 |
| ubottu | File /sbin/mkfs.ntfs found in ntfs-3g | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | for read/write access to a ntfs-filesystem - ntfs-3g is used.. | 16:04 |
| felp | 1 wifi 1 usb eth0 | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | ntfs-3g is a specific command/tool to mount ntfs filesystems | 16:04 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, but, will the command be using the ntfs-3g or what will it be using? This to know. I already know this is not so Ok to install NTFS under Linux | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | ntfs-3g is a package name and a specific command.. You are worrying too much | 16:05 |
| felp | Any idea dr willis? | 16:05 |
| testk | Bot2Help: Guys is there anyway to take drivers from backtrack to ubuntu? | 16:05 |
| Bot2Help | guys/NNS is/VBZ there/EX anyway/RB to/TO take/VB drivers/NNS from/IN backtrack/NN to/TO ubuntu/VB (1) | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | the ntfs-3g package adds support for ntfs under linux. ;) | 16:05 |
| D0minat0r | someone good at ffmpeg? | 16:05 |
| moes | Trying to remove okular "sudo apt-get remove --purge ~/path/to/okular"...getting E:couldn't find package | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: so mkfs.ntfs will format it to ntfs just fine. | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: you then MOUNT it with the ntfs-3g command | 16:05 |
| jrib | moes: apt-get expects a package name, not a path | 16:05 |
| TakeItEZ | moes: apt-get wants packagenames not pathes | 16:05 |
| bazhang | Bot2Help, hi | 16:06 |
| testk | ? | 16:06 |
| iceroot | how to see the licence of a package with apt-get? | 16:06 |
| testk | Bazhang I turn off bot | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | felp: given the lack ot details.. not really. see what modules they are using and see what ones are in ubuntu.. the 2 os's should be very close in that area | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | !info ntfsprogs | 16:06 |
| ubottu | ntfsprogs (source: ntfs-3g): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2012.1.15AR.5-4ubuntu3 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 45 kB | 16:06 |
| dr_willis | Hmm.. they have moved ntfsprogs to ntfs-3g ;) | 16:06 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, and how about the mount line, I have to add into fstab? Currently I have "/dev/md0/mnt/array_0 ext4relatime,acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1" what sould it be? Perhaps like this? "/dev/md0/mnt/array_0 ntfs-3grelatime,acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1" | 16:07 |
| felp | Os is bt5r3 and lucid | 16:07 |
| moes | jrib Thanks its removing now !!! | 16:07 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: md0? You are using a array with ntfs? why | 16:07 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, for RAID-1 using mdadm software-raid | 16:07 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: never used that stuff. so no idea. You are planing on letting windows also see this raid eh? | 16:08 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: When I upgrad to precise through the net, will I get a choice of which manager I choose to download ?? Will it not download the default ( gnome I guess) ?? Also will Lubuntu have the same functionality as gnome. Are there things I cannot do on Lubuntu that I can on gnome eg run compiz ?? | 16:09 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: it will update to ubuntu unless you also have the lubuntu packages installed as well.. it updates whatever you got installed. | 16:09 |
| dr_willis | one of the reasons lubuntu is lighter.. is its not using compiz... | 16:09 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, I mainly use this array under windows and access to the shares via samba. So far all is perfectly running under ext4 filesystem but I have few issues for NTFS needs, like custom folder icons, desktop.ini file and so on. So, I decided to change filesystem | 16:10 |
| dr_willis | thats nothing to do with the desktop. ;) | 16:10 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: good luck. ;) you are in an area ive never gone. | 16:10 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: so you are going to use it as ntfs on a linux server... and share it to a windows box via samba? | 16:10 |
| danman1453 | does anybody know why in win7, i have to disable ipp to print to a shared ubuntu printer? | 16:11 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: So if I install Lubuntu now in lucid then it will automatically get me gnome + lubuntu when I upgrade right ? Also I meant "desktop manager" when I said desktop. :) | 16:11 |
| aZuZu_ | hi to all | 16:11 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, Thanks. Yes. Is this wrong? I need to use this server as NAS and webserver. Can you please only advise me for the mount point line I have to add on fstab? | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: yes. but it will be easier to just install lubuntu-desktop later | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: it seems weird to convert it to ntfs just to share.. samba wont care... | 16:11 |
| aZuZu_ | need help with arm kernel compile ... | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | in fact samba may have issues with ntfs being shared. | 16:12 |
| aZuZu_ | WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14500): Section mismatch in reference from the function map_page_strongly_ordered() to the function .init.text:create_mapping() | 16:12 |
| dr_willis | I recall having to twiddle with fstab options to mount a ntfs partion to share it once... been a while. | 16:12 |
| Vivekananda | Do you mean to say that there is no difference at all in terms of programs execution and evironment in between gnome and L ?? Do you mean to say that if I disable or unistall compiz in gnome then it becomes lubunutu for all intents and purpose?? | 16:12 |
| danman1453 | you would think that the ipp settings in CUPS would play nice with anyone trying to use it. | 16:12 |
| aZuZu_ | it is gcc 4.3.3 | 16:12 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: compiz is a compositing window manager... Lubuntu uses openbox as its wndow manager. | 16:12 |
| jim8888 | does the /etc/ directory contain any sensitive information? i wish to back it up to save configs etc, but do not want to leak passwords etc... | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | compiz is ONLY a window manager. | 16:13 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, this entire array needs for fileserver and backup. I need to make sure that what I replicate here is exactely like on windows and icons+permissions+.... are not. This is why I need to have an alternative to ext4 | 16:13 |
| TakeItEZ | jim8888: at least /etc/shadow holds the password-hashes | 16:13 |
| D0minat0r | someone good at ffmpeg? | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: i dont know if switching to ntfs will help in any way.. and may cause more issues.. | 16:13 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, I am testing so far | 16:14 |
| jim8888 | <TakeItEZ>: how secure are the hashes? could someone decrypt them to cleartext? | 16:14 |
| danman1453 | i have a ntfs volume shared through samba with no issues | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: could be you may nees some more of the advanced features of samba also. | 16:14 |
| TakeItEZ | jim8888: yes, if he has time and computerpower | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | samba will be translating permissions no matter what fs you use i imagine | 16:14 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: ok . But my question is a bit broader and I took compiz as an example only. I use current gnome to run eclipse , servers, firefox and xchat and things like that . Will all these programs be available to me on lubuntu. What will I not have and what will I have. ?? Bacially , what are the major differences between gnome and lubuntu | 16:15 |
| Callum_ | How can I adjust overscan on Ubuntu Server 12.04? | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | and doing other translations | 16:15 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, will see. I can always switch back to ext4 at anytime. How abotu the fstab line? Any help? | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: the desktop dosent matter | 16:15 |
| jim8888 | <TakeItEz>: with rainbow tables and brute force cracking? | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: i just follow the examples at the ntfs-3g homepage. | 16:15 |
| SAngeli | ok | 16:15 |
| TakeItEZ | jim8888: just a matter of time and/or computerpower | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: the fact you want to share it.. will mean you may need to set up specific permissions/options also | 16:15 |
| jim8888 | <TakeItEZ>: ok i will exclude that file from my backups! | 16:16 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, yes all these done via Samba | 16:16 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, the official homepage for linux would be? | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | ive only setup my ntfs to be shared vis samba as guest acconts | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | SAngeli: the ntfs-3g homepage.. | 16:16 |
| SAngeli | I do not find it googling around. | 16:17 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: Does it mean that if I install , say , xubuntu or say puppy linux it wont matter ?? How will I execute the eclipse gui on it if for some reason puppy or x doesnot support it . I still have to learn a lot so request a pointer to reading stuff or a detailed answer if possible :) | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | has examples and faqs and some good docs on ntfs | 16:17 |
| SAngeli | I get so many entries and do not know which one is it. I believe it should be this one: | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: Puppylinux is a totally differnt disrto.. but it should be able to run the same apps | 16:17 |
| SAngeli | dr_willis, http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: all the *buntus are the same core OS . with differnt desktops and some other changes. | 16:18 |
| fomg-optimize | Test | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: Puppylinux is perhaps the weirdest of all Linux Disrtos in existance. ;P | 16:18 |
| fomg-optimize | Hi! I am having issues with access time and somewhat transfer speed on my SSD. I have discard on file system and have run trim manually repeatedly. This is how it looks http://temp-share.com/show/f3Yg9hjkn. I have the same jitter no matter what scheduler I use. How does it look for you? Run gnome disks benchmark please if you have the time? | 16:18 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: when you say "different desktops with some changes" what are those differences and changes between L and gnome ?? | 16:19 |

| dr_willis | Start usiing puppy... and get into it.. then go use any other disrto and you will see | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | Only disrto ive seen that comes close to Puppys 'uniqueness' is Tiny Core Linux. | 16:20 |
| fomg-optimize | I really like them, but they trade off performance for less ram/cpu usage | 16:21 |
| fomg-optimize | A bit too hardcore | 16:21 |
| dr_willis | and Puppy is a feral mongral with Rabies compared to Tiny Core. | 16:21 |

| pranavk | how to remove execute permission from all files but not directories recursively. I tried -X and -x but both are removing the execute bit off from both directories and files but i don't want execute bit to be stripped off from ddirectories. | 16:25 |
| Pici | pranavk: something like: find /path -type f -exec chmod -x {} \; | 16:26 |
| TakeItEZ | pranavk: find /path -type f|xargs chmod -x | 16:26 |
| theadmin | Pici: You gotta escape the {}, too. | 16:26 |
| theadmin | Pici: Ah, my bad, it's zsh being all featureful :D | 16:27 |
| danman1453 | pranavk, i believe you can strip permissions of just files with #chmod -x /some/dir/to/strip/*.* | 16:28 |

| === adiaswin is now known as tomywin | ||
| danman1453 | i thought the problem was it was being recursive... | 16:32 |
| TomyLobo2 | tomywin, have you tried? | 16:32 |
| danman1453 | would chmod -R -x /some/dir/* work? | 16:33 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: no | 16:33 |

| danman1453 | ? | 16:34 |
| TomyLobo2 | tomywin, then how do you know? | 16:34 |
| TakeItEZ | chmod -R -x /path && chmod -R +X path/ should do, but i'd prefer find/xargs | 16:34 |
| danman1453 | i have no experience with the find... | 16:35 |
| danman1453 | how does it compare? | 16:35 |
| theadmin | danman1453: find /some/dir/* -type f -exec chmod -x '{}' \; | 16:35 |
| ejv | you're in luck, there's an enormous wealth of documentation! | 16:35 |
| ejv | man find | 16:35 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: find /path -type f|xargs chmod -x | 16:35 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: you just search files and chmod them | 16:36 |
| danman1453 | so, using the find, then add the chmod permission changes to just the results? | 16:36 |
| TakeItEZ | yes | 16:36 |
| tomywin | packages are the newest ubuntu and debian does not install due consseque | 16:36 |
| tomywin | lack of dependencies | 16:36 |
| tomywin | and from what I know you could only do it if you are using debian testing | 16:36 |
| theadmin | danman1453: Both versions (mine and what TakeItEZ suggested) will strip executable bits from files only, recursively. | 16:37 |
| danman1453 | hmmm.... i will have to try it out | 16:37 |
| tomywin | and soryy my bad english | 16:37 |
| tomywin | im using google translate | 16:37 |
| Pici | tomywin: Would #ubuntu-br be more helpful? | 16:37 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: just run "find /path -type f" and see what you get. the -exec... /xargs just would run chmod on those result-lines | 16:38 |
| danman1453 | still works with files with no extensions? | 16:38 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: a file is a file | 16:38 |

| tomywin | I know ubuntu but it a real mess | 16:39 |
| tchaffee | The guide I've followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 16:39 |
| MonkeyDust | !uefi | tchaffee | 16:39 |
| ubottu | tchaffee: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 16:39 |
| ejv | brilliant MonkeyDust lol | 16:39 |
| _methods | tchaffee: what kind of laptop? | 16:39 |
| theadmin | TakeItEZ: Extensions aren't for humans, they are a silly thing that only sees any use in Windows nowadays. You can determine the filetype by the contents. | 16:39 |
| ejv | ubottu should really just scrape all chat data, and chime in when it finds something in its database | 16:40 |

| dromios | has anyone had an issue with installing ubuntu on a raid1? | 16:40 |
| tomywin | I was already banned from it for nothing | 16:40 |
| TakeItEZ | theadmin: yes and thats why extensions are for humans who think they need shelscript named .sh or a text .txt | 16:41 |
| tchaffee | _methods: It's a Toshiba P845t. | 16:41 |
| danman1453 | to limit the find search, i could use path/*.ext -type f instead of path/* -type -f, to limit it to specific files/extensions, correct? | 16:41 |
| dromios | It installs fine and then after it restarts it just hangs after the asus splashscreen with a blinking - | 16:41 |
| theadmin | TakeItEZ: Those... "humans" have another name which I'd rather not pronounce here. | 16:41 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: man find (-name '*.txt' | 16:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | dromios: Grub did not install correctly. | 16:41 |
| danman1453 | ok | 16:42 |
| danman1453 | thanks for the correction to my methods... it does seem easier than chmod'ing each and every directory/file. | 16:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | dromios: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID | 16:42 |
| dromios | it's hardware | 16:42 |

| salamare | . | 16:44 |
| dromios | jhutchins_wk it's a hardware raid but I don't get prompted for any special drivers during the installation | 16:44 |
| TakeItEZ | danman1453: read the man-page or some tutorials about gnu-find, it is a handy tool | 16:44 |
| rene_ | Wie kann ich die Themen in Xubuntu 'ndern_ | 16:45 |
| danman1453 | TakeItEZ, will do. like i said, never used it before. | 16:45 |
| MonkeyDust | !de | 16:45 |
| ubottu | In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 16:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | dromios: That symptom is typical of grub not being in the mbr. | 16:45 |
| TakeItEZ | jhutchins_wk: does that affect UEFI too? | 16:45 |

| Ramtron | Hey! I'm trying to install this program, Unetbootin/494 on Linux, I marked it as executable but it still won't install | 18:38 |
| tqrst | can anyone recommend an alternative to rxvt-unicode that is as fast and supports xft fonts? I don't care about tabs or transparency. (the reason behind my asking this is that urxvt apparently uses non standard key codes for the F keys, which messes with my vim bindings amongst other things) | 18:38 |
| shadoqflww | is there a way to reset my openssh server config files to default in the /etc/ssh ? | 18:39 |
| theadmin | Ramtron: Unetbootin is in the repositories, you can just use the Software Centre or "sudo apt-get install unetbootin". Or click this: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/unetbootin | 18:39 |
| Ramtron | Yeah but that's a new version | 18:40 |
| Ramtron | I need v494 | 18:40 |
| theadmin | Ramtron: Oh, why is that? | 18:40 |
| Ramtron | to supposrt NFTS files | 18:40 |
| Ramtron | I'm trying to make a bootable flash drive for windows 7 | 18:40 |
| Ramtron | Unless you have a better way | 18:40 |

| Ramtron | Thanks I'll read that and come back | 18:41 |
| shadoqflww | i would just use wine and the universal usb installer | 18:41 |
| shadoqflww | it works for me perty well | 18:42 |
| Ramtron | eh i want the easiest way possible | 18:42 |
| Dr_willis | i belive you can dd the windows iso for newer versions to usb and they will boot | 18:42 |
| Ramtron | I'll never use ubuntu again | 18:42 |
| Dr_willis | go ask in #windows for the reccomend tools perhaps | 18:42 |
| Ramtron | dd? the only thing is I need an NFTS file | 18:42 |
| Ramtron | winUSB will work I'm sure | 18:42 |
| invariant | How can I get all the ATTRS displayed for a given device file? | 18:42 |

| shadoqflww | is there a way to reset my openssh server config files to default in the /etc/ssh | 18:43 |

| Ramtron | to boot windows 7 from flash drive | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | shadoqflww, purge/reinstall the config files. | 18:43 |
| Dr_willis | you still have to put the ISO on the usb | 18:43 |

| Ramtron | Asking help on booting it I guess haha | 19:12 |
| phunyguy | what does this have to do with ubuntu, Ramtron? | 19:12 |
| histo | Ramtron: Are you install windows after ubuntu? | 19:12 |
| Ramtron | yes | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | histo, yep. and im not going to spend hrs again trying to explain concepts like working directory again. ;) | 19:13 |

| kovu | i have downloaded the packege but i do not know the command to installl it on my system | 19:16 |
| Ramtron | Thought so as well | 19:16 |
| histo | Ramtron: If you install windows first then ubuntu second. When ubuntu installs grub it will just work without any configuration on your part. When you install windows second you blew out your grub files from linux. So now you'd have ot reinstall grub etc... | 19:16 |

| Physicist | histo, how can I do that! Note: The upgrade was a suggest of the system. | 19:22 |

| miebster_atwork | theadmin: both, running kwin brought back some functionality, I can now switch desktops, but no kmenu or window decarators | 19:53 |
| traubisoda | hi | 19:53 |
| miebster_atwork | theadmin: nevermind the decarators are fine, I just dont have the desktop and kmenu bar | 19:53 |
| theadmin | miebster_atwork: Ah... Huh, that's odd... I'm not all too sure what provides those, unfortunately, it's something that starts with "plasma", but can't remember the exact name. | 19:54 |

| traubisoda | i'm on 12.10 gnome3 fallback over xrdp. there's no reboot or shutdown option on the GUI, and if i reboot or halt from terminal, it stucks without any error messages during the process. what should i do to fix this? | 19:54 |

| beatmasher | E: Unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-source | 19:56 |
| theadmin | traubisoda: GNOME 3 does not provide reboot/shutdown options in the GUI, that is correct. You have to log out and shutdown from GDM. As for terminal shutdown, you sure it gets stuck? I mean, if it did shut down, the connection would be lost, so your RDP client will hang. | 19:56 |
| Dr_willis | beatmasher done a sudo apt-get update recently? | 19:56 |

| yoloyolo | Hi there, is there any way I can use cpufreq-set during a debian installation? You know, throttle the CPU? I have a bit of a hardware problem - overheating, and I can't go about fixing it as of now, but I need this box working. | 19:57 |
| yoloyolo | *ubuntu whoops | 19:57 |
| beatmasher | 10.10 | 19:57 |
| traubisoda | theadmin: that's correct, but i have physical acces to the pc as well, and during shutdown after a while nothing happens, the animation stops | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | !10.10 | 19:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | beatmasher, can you install anything>? that is an EOL release | 19:57 |
| Mathnerd314 | any good LDAP clients that aren't written in Java? I've tried JXplorer and Apache Directory Studio and they both fail because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/1006776 | 19:58 |

| theadmin | traubisoda: Then you'll have to forcefully shutdown somehow (pull the plug), but "sudo sync" first, to avoid data loss. | 19:59 |
| theadmin | traubisoda: After a reboot, it'll work fine, I hope. | 19:59 |
| Zentaur | it is a bug with ubiquity when i install with raid and encrypted home | 19:59 |
| Zentaur | is there a solution? | 19:59 |
| traubisoda | theadmin: i hope so too :) | 19:59 |
| Zentaur | may i download 12.04 again and try? maybe it has been solved | 20:00 |
| theadmin | traubisoda: Oh, sorry, after editing the file you'll also need to "sudo update-grub" for the changes to be applied. | 20:00 |
| theadmin | I keep forgetting that part... God, grub1 was easier | 20:00 |
| traubisoda | yeah:) | 20:00 |
| beatmasher | dr_willis,i cant download even hearts game | 20:00 |
| jrib | yoloyolo: well it's a live cd, so if you can make it to the point where it loads the live environment safely, you could use the command there... | 20:00 |

| Zentaur | by the way... how do i tell ubuntu to install only frree software? | 20:01 |
| theadmin | Zentaur: On the livecd, you could open the "Modes" menu and choose "Free Software Only". As for the repos, simply disable the restricted and multiverse repos. | 20:02 |
| theadmin | Zentaur: Both will lead to the same result. Although if you don't do the first, then Ubuntu may pull in propretiary drivers for your hardware during the install. | 20:03 |

| bizhanMona | HI, i have a PC board running Ubuntu 12.04 . It has two ethernet ports. One port is connected to an uplink switch. The other port is connected to a local switch. I would like to configure the PC as a DHCP server for devices connected to the local switch. How should I configure the Ethernet ports and server as DHCP server? thx | 20:09 |
| ikonia | !dhcp | bizhanMona | 20:09 |
| ubottu | bizhanMona: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 20:09 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | all i have is the xfce4-panel, | 20:09 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | thats all that was in my script, so is that all thats going to start? | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Zentaur: Yes, also make sure not to mark the checkmark that's about installing the restricted-extras, that pulls in a whole bunch of propretiary stuff like Flash, MP3 codecs... | 20:10 |
| ikonia | ph1rmw4r3: why are you doing this if you have no idea what you are doing or trying to do | 20:10 |
| bizhanMona | ikonia: thanks | 20:10 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | all i wanted was xfce4-panel to auto start at login | 20:11 |
| ikonia | bizhanMona: out of interest, why are you connected to the uplink port of a switch ? | 20:11 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | so i made a script that starts it, and linked to it via ~/.profile | 20:11 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | and now it works but nothing else works lol | 20:12 |
| Zentaur | theadmin, where is taht option? | 20:12 |

| ph1rmw4r3 | hi | 20:13 |
| === ferni_ is now known as ferni | ||
| bizhanMona | ikonia: oh sorry I miss write. There are two switches, an uplink switch and local switch. One of the server's port will be connected to one of the ports on the uplink switch and the other ethernet port will be connected to the local switch. I hope this clarifies the configuration .... | 20:13 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | ikonia, where did i go wrong? | 20:13 |
| theadmin | Zentaur: The second install step, it has "Download updates while installing" and "Install this third-party software". The second one is to be unchecked. | 20:14 |
| ula-atze | hi all | 20:14 |
| Zentaur | i don't have the second option | 20:14 |
| theadmin | Zentaur: Oh, then I guess booting in Free Software mode removes it from the installer. That's clever. | 20:14 |
| theadmin | Wasn't aware of that | 20:15 |
| ula-atze | #xbuntu | 20:15 |
| Zentaur | :) thanks theadmin | 20:15 |
| Zentaur | you are great | 20:15 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | maybe ubuntu is not for me i suppose yes? | 20:15 |
| daftykins | ph1rmw4r3: what are you trying to do? | 20:16 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | all i want is my panel to auto start on login | 20:16 |
| daftykins | ph1rmw4r3: if you want to use xfce, install xubuntu? ;x | 20:16 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | noo | 20:16 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | all i want is the panel from it | 20:16 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | and it works | 20:16 |
| daftykins | so you have a script but it's not working? | 20:17 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | but i have to start it manualy with the command xfce4-panel | 20:17 |
| daftykins | did you chmod +x the script? | 20:17 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | the script works | 20:17 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | yeah i chmod 777 | 20:17 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | but how to auto start? | 20:17 |
| daftykins | that's not exactly the way to do that, but ok | 20:17 |
| daftykins | what's the base distro? a standard ubuntu 12.10 ? | 20:18 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | yesh | 20:18 |
| daftykins | ph1rmw4r3: tried running the 'startup applications' program? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | open the dash, type 'start' and it'll show up | 20:19 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | daftykins, no where can i find that? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | ph1rmw4r3: i just said | 20:20 |

| ph1rmw4r3 | oh there is no dash | 20:20 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | some one told me to add my script to ~/.profile and now it wont start all the way all i have is the panel i wanted | 20:21 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | is there a command to open the start up apps | 20:22 |
| guideX | is there something for ubuntu 12.10 mysql in a ui (other than workbench)? | 20:22 |

| daftykins | ph1rmw4r3: read that website. | 20:22 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | phpmyadmin is great for sql admin | 20:22 |
| === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc | ||
| guideX | hmm in a ui would be nice | 20:23 |
| guideX | a program or such | 20:23 |
| guideX | not a webpage or in the terminal if possible | 20:23 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | no its a web ui | 20:23 |
| ph1rmw4r3 | its a web page but it is very nice | 20:23 |
| hybirdd | have you tried the MySQL workbench? | 20:23 |
| daftykins | guideX: there's probably a channel for mysql. | 20:23 |
| guideX | yeah I don't really like the workbench | 20:24 |
| guideX | I can't figure out how to create a database or restore | 20:24 |
| guideX | i'm used to like sqlyog or ms management studio | 20:24 |
| guideX | i'm in mysql, but I can't remember the nickserv login command to identify myself heh | 20:24 |
| guideX | so I can't speak | 20:24 |
| guideX | it's like nickserv login user password right? | 20:25 |
| Tanelt | Hi all, How to use grep command to find a 'String' in a directory but also in sub directories? | 20:25 |
| hybirdd | if you feel adventurous you can use wine to get sqlyog | 20:25 |
| daftykins | guideX: /msg nickserv hello | 20:25 |
| guideX | ug wine, I was hopeing for something native to avoid issues heh | 20:25 |
| daftykins | Tanelt: "ls -r /path | grep -i <word to search for>" ? | 20:25 |
| kike_ | Hi all | 20:26 |
| daftykins | guideX: /msg nickserv identify <pass> i think | 20:26 |
| djzn | is there anything other CD burner for linux with the same feature as Brasero, like splitting one large file in multiple tracks? | 20:26 |
| hybirdd | correct daftykins | 20:26 |
| Tanelt | Thanks daftykins | 20:27 |
| theadmin | djzn: xfburn and k3b are popular alternatives. | 20:27 |
| kike_ | I have a problem trying to make an ISO from the CD-ROM that comes with my children school books... Neither Brasero nor K3B make a 'mountable0 ISO | 20:27 |
| kike_ | any ideas? | 20:28 |
| djzn | theadmin, K3B does not split audio, does it? | 20:28 |
| daftykins | kike_: has it got multiple tracks, data and audio? | 20:28 |
| kike_ | should have some kind of _ucking DRM isn't it? | 20:28 |
| tqrst | Tanelt: grep -R | 20:28 |
| theadmin | djzn: I am not sure, honestly. | 20:28 |
| kike_ | no, just Data | 20:28 |
| tqrst | Tanelt: no need to pointlessly pipe with ls | 20:28 |
| daftykins | tqrst: my bad | 20:29 |
| daftykins | the whole world will end now that one extra command got used :'( | 20:29 |
| daftykins | ;) | 20:29 |
| daftykins | kike_: i'd try and dd it to an image | 20:29 |
| tqrst | Tanelt: also, consider using ack instead of grep if you are going to be searching through directories that contain source control metadata (.svn, .git etc)\ | 20:29 |
| tqrst | daftykins: and it will be all your fault :p | 20:29 |
| daftykins | tqrst: that's some serious pressure | 20:30 |
| tqrst | daftykins: piping is serious business | 20:30 |
| MonkeyDust | djzn i guess this comes close to what you want to do http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq_i18n?s=files&i=split | 20:30 |
| tqrst | if you use them all up, there won't be any left for anyone | 20:30 |
| kike_ | sorry daftykins but i don't understand "dd" | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | kike_, you sure its a cd and not a dvd? | 20:30 |
| Tanelt | Thanks for the additional useful information tqrst | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | or it may be a dual-data optical disk. music and data | 20:31 |
| daftykins | kike_: as in, the use of it? | 20:31 |
| kike_ | yes, CD not DVD | 20:31 |
| Dr_willis | kike_, so it is an audio cd? | 20:31 |
| kike_ | no, it's only a data CD | 20:31 |
| MonkeyDust | djzn there's also this http://danilodellaquila.com/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-.flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux | 20:31 |
| Dr_willis | then just copy the files from it to a directory. | 20:31 |
| kike_ | just files inside | 20:31 |
| MartynKeigher | hey, so i just installed ubuntu 12.04 (Desktop) whats the best app to modify the appearance? and resize the launcher icons? | 20:31 |
| daftykins | kike_: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/write/image.iso | 20:32 |
| Dr_willis | unless its like a PC game... | 20:32 |
| daftykins | kike_: where 'cdrom' is your optical device of course | 20:32 |
| kike_ | it's a CD for kids | 20:32 |
| kike_ | those wich comes with school books | 20:32 |
| === Techi is now known as Arrick | ||
| Dr_willis | a data cd,,, that does what.... its got programs on it you run on a windows machine? | 20:32 |

| sakkemo | the nipple on my Lenovo doesn't seem to work on 12.10, it did on 12.04. Anyone else had the same problem? | 20:33 |
| kike_ | Dr_willis, yes, of course they are programs for windows, some kind of virtual book and utils | 20:33 |
| === Ixateht_ is now known as Ixateht | ||
| Dr_willis | kike_, then its possible theres also audio tracks on the cd the apps use. | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | that can confuse copy apps. | 20:33 |
| djzn | MonkeyDust, actually all of that is a workaround. I wanted a feature like Brasero does... split the large flac. However, brasero burns STATIC when you do this. | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | dd should be able to copy it. unless its some really weird protection | 20:34 |
| kike_ | Dr_willis, no, it's not possible. no audio tracks on this cd | 20:34 |
| kike_ | let's go for dd | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | if theres no audio tracks.. then just copy the files to a directory. No need to image the whole disk | 20:34 |
| kike_ | :) i'll be back asap | 20:34 |
| Zentaur | does anybody know how to update the installer while trying ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| Dr_willis | making a 700mb image thats holding 20mb of a game.. :) is a little overkill | 20:35 |
| kike_ | was thinking in make an image cause it's easier for me to move and/mount in the netbook | 20:35 |
| Dr_willis | if the game works in wine.. most likely you dont need to mount the iso at all.. just copy the files to a dir.. and run the game from there | 20:36 |
| MonkeyDust | djzn i know, that's what i said 'comes close to what you want to do' | 20:36 |
| kike_ | yes.. but it's about 300 MB. both K3B and brasero make the image... but after an "succesfully done" i'm not able to mount or even oper with the archive manager | 20:36 |
| kike_ | promts a weird error | 20:36 |
| kike_ | "/media/kike/SANTILLANA"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: block device /dev/loop0p1 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 20:37 |
| kike_ | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0p1" | 20:37 |
| kike_ | to be more exactly... | 20:37 |
| daftykins | kike_: i'd personally just mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/image.iso instead of using an archiving prog | 20:37 |
| Dr_willis | !iso | 20:38 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | thats the generic 'mount failed' error message. | 20:38 |
| daftykins | ^ that too, if you wanna have it actually work | 20:38 |
| * daftykins tips his hat to Dr_willis | 20:39 | |
| djzn | MonkeyDust, I actually don't want to SPLIT the file... | 20:39 |
| djzn | MonkeyDust, I want to create a cuesheet that goes with it, so its burnable from the cue... | 20:39 |
| === wesley is now known as whurdwfd | ||
| kike_ | daftykins, your option for mounting says "Warning [...] seems to be read only" and doesn't mount it :( | 20:41 |
| daftykins | kike_: see the ubottu message Dr_willis triggered after i said that | 20:42 |
| kike_ | i see... basically the same witout ISO specs... let's try! | 20:43 |
| kike_ | ok, just the same | 20:44 |
| daftykins | moans it's read only? 0o | 20:44 |
| Dr_willis | an iso file would get mounted read only,, yes | 20:44 |

| kike_ | Dr_willis, looks like it works! | 20:46 |

| kike_ | it's the mounter wich isn't working? | 20:47 |
| kike_ | I can at least see the files, as it's a windows CD... let's see if Wine can open it! | 20:48 |
| kike_ | Dr_willis, daftykins THANK YOU so much, help me a lot | 20:49 |
| daftykins | kike_: np :) | 20:49 |

| kike_ | more /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info says something like sr0 | 20:55 |
| kike_ | is /dev/sr0 my usb cd-rw unit? sounks weird, used to hdx and sdx ¿? | 20:56 |
| histo | kike_: /dev/cdrom | 20:56 |
| histo | kike_: unless you hvae multiple cdroms | 20:56 |

| inv3nt0r | Hi everyone. Does anyone here have experience setting up AFP using 'netatalk' ? | 21:00 |
| Dave77 | why is it so difficult for game dev to make their current games for ubuntu/linux? Is that all there is for 3D OpenGL? | 21:01 |
| kike_ | hmmm that's what i don't like about console... no progress bar! ;) Done sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/kike/Escritorio/santitest.iso and have to have faith about it's progressing! | 21:01 |

| ubottu | Dave77: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their devlopment, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 21:01 |
| cervO | yes inv3ntor | 21:01 |
| tb01110100 | Is dd able to write an image to a DVD? | 21:02 |
| tb01110100 | !source | 21:02 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 21:02 |
| inv3nt0r | cervO: I'm trying to get things going on Server 12.04, and have followed a few different guides but fail to connect. | 21:02 |
| kike_ | BTW - hate valve! got a raeon HD4800 and finally can be able to use it using a ppa wich have to downgrade xorg server and STEAM doesn't work with this version og xorg | 21:03 |
| kike_ | i hate them! | 21:03 |
| inv3nt0r | cervO: On the Mac client, I can see the server but I am unable to connect with any users... It seems to know when a user does not exist, so it looks like it is attempting authentication | 21:04 |
| ejv | you hate a company because software which is essentially in alpha doesn't $work? :\ | 21:05 |
| budmang | is there a seperate 12.04LTS room? | 21:05 |
| inv3nt0r | ejv: They should work faster ;) | 21:05 |
| bobolopolis | kike_: thats more an issue with the amd legacy drivers than valve | 21:05 |
| kike_ | yes, basically | 21:05 |
| kike_ | I know :( | 21:05 |
| kike_ | i can't understand why a 1GB DDR5 card is LEGACY. | 21:06 |
| kike_ | but it's legacy in windows too and it works there as a charm | 21:06 |
| ejv | instead of complaining, do something about it, file a report | 21:06 |
| kike_ | hate them all :) | 21:06 |
| zaven | aaa | 21:07 |
| kike_ | ejv, i read a lot, there is one official workarround and they don't seem to be receptive to requests | 21:07 |
| kike_ | should have to buy a new one | 21:07 |
| kunji | kike_: I was thinking about trying Steam soon... guess I should expect trouble with my 4870? | 21:08 |
| kike_ | with propietary drivers YES | 21:08 |
| bel3atar | what's the package name of the default unity theme? | 21:09 |
| kunji | kike_: Is it just Steam that isn't behaving for you, or is the problem more general? | 21:09 |
| InFlames | anyone seen a weird issue where the lock screen falsely gives invalid password? | 21:09 |
| bobolopolis | amd did update the legacy driver with the latest release a few weeks ago, could try installing it directly rather than the older version in the repos | 21:10 |
| kike_ | with the ones that comes with ubuntu worked, but too slow (in a phenom 2 x6 1045) | 21:10 |
| kike_ | at least for me | 21:10 |
| kike_ | not an expert as everyone can see :) | 21:10 |
| disharmonic | Well the whole point of the legacy driver update was to get better steam compatibility afaik | 21:11 |
| kike_ | kunji, now with the legacy amd drivers installed through ppa (can't remember wich one) it's just steam | 21:11 |
| kike_ | i have no other graphical problem, 3d is able even in vmware | 21:12 |
| kike_ | enabled (excuse my english) | 21:12 |
| bel3atar | what's the package name of the default unity theme? | 21:13 |
| kike_ | and the point is that the only error seems to be that steam requires a simple and stupid RGB call to somewhere than can be fixed with 10 commands. | 21:13 |

| dforthman | Hello - I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and I don't see any support for L2TP/IPSec VPNs in the connection menu. Every search I've done on Google has nothing useful. Has anyone been able to configure Ubuntu to use a L2TP/IPSec VPN client? | 21:15 |
| InFlames | my lock screen is all white, my card is an ati 5450 | 21:15 |
| bel3atar | disharmonic: what's the package name so I can get it with apt-get? | 21:15 |
| nimtz | not sure where's the best place to ask this but here goes, i have a X-less box and I want to globally change the dark blue color to something else? (without using framebuffer console) | 21:15 |

| MonkeyDust | kike_ an op is smart enough to not use IRC as root | 21:24 |
| kike_ | for sure, just tought about something more about a big EGO, not thought someone could even connect here as a root | 21:25 |
| _helios_ | I think it would be worse to have a SSH sever that allows root acces than using IRC as root lmao | 21:25 |

| _helios_ | dforthman: you can try this if you don't want to restart push Ctrl+Alt+F1 after you login to the shell type kill -9 -1 it will reset the gui. | 21:36 |
| dforthman | _helios_, Will it also disable the ATI driver? | 21:36 |

| dforthman | So it might be an incompatibility with my card. | 21:37 |
| kike_ | _helios_, thanks, i keep this command for the future | 21:37 |
| kike_ | dforthman, something like that happened to me... an i had to uninstall unity and gnome, and the i installed cynnamon | 21:38 |
| kike_ | after that i installed gnome again | 21:38 |

| AHaKuH | _helios_: i see but the smb server is at my local net so i do not need secure transfers | 21:42 |

| Zentaur | yes, it works | 21:44 |
| Zentaur | but i need to encrypt it | 21:44 |
| _helios_ | Zentaur: why not use full disk encryption? | 21:45 |
| Zentaur | i need it to be easy, i'm not an expert ;) | 21:45 |

| ikonia | jimaji123: how many times do you need this explaining to you | 21:48 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia, its not working at all anymore. | 21:48 |
| ikonia | it won't work at all for what you want | 21:48 |

| Zentaur | _helios how do i do that? is it thechackbox when you enter the user, pssw, machine name....? | 21:48 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia, this morning some other people were helpnig me | 21:49 |
| _helios_ | Zentaur: yes | 21:49 |
| jimaji123 | They said that if i use wine, i get to install stuff that is for windwos. | 21:49 |
| jimaji123 | Windows* | 21:49 |
| ikonia | that doesn't change anythin | 21:49 |
| ikonia | anything | 21:49 |
| ikonia | it will not work | 21:49 |
| Zentaur | that's what crashes | 21:49 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia, then why did they say that wine will let me install stuff for windows. | 21:49 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: I explained this to you yesterday, it is not appropritate for what you want and how you want to use it | 21:49 |
| _helios_ | Zentaur: It's a full disk encryption option and a home folder you don't want to check the home folder option just the full disk. | 21:49 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia, your not helping me. | 21:50 |
| jimaji123 | Your going over the stuff from yesterday, how about help me. | 21:50 |
| jimaji123 | Im trying to install steam. | 21:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: correct because your needs are not compatible with the current solution | 21:50 |
| bobolopolis | Zentaur: for 12.04 you need to use the alternate iso, the option is not there in the desktop installer | 21:50 |
| jimaji123 | And its not letting me. | 21:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: you just said you where trying to install wine | 21:50 |

| jimaji123 | Just help me install steam please, and stop being so rude. | 21:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: this was half the prblem yesterday...you don't research/listen and just flit around every 20 seconds | 21:50 |
| ikonia | jimaji123: I'm not being rude | 21:50 |
| Zentaur | mmm i'm afraid it is, well if we are talking of the same option | 21:51 |
| jimaji123 | Ikonia. | 21:51 |
| jimaji123 | So, am i suposed to use the ubuntu software center for everything i want to download? | 21:51 |

| TomyLobo | library hell | 22:11 |
| mechanism | I meant current home directory belongs to mac system | 22:11 |
| bekks | TomyLobo: That will most likely just break your 8.04, when you're going to use a newer libstdc++ | 22:11 |
| pepperjack | mechanism: I'm not aware of any problems with this. an nfs share? | 22:12 |

| julian-dephiki | any one have any ideas where this is set normally. | 22:29 |
| scott_puopolo | genii-around: that's ok, so you think it looks at modprobe file to see what should be added to the kernel? | 22:29 |

| julian-dephiki | Can't seem to find it in there, ikonia | 22:29 |

| jhutchins_wk | julian-dephiki: php.ini or mods-available php5.conf | 22:30 |
| genii-around | scott_puopolo: Normally it would be something like udev sees something, then looks in it's rules to see what the usual driver and devicename is... then it looks at modprobe.d to see if there's some special exception for your hardware before it actually loads something | 22:30 |
| kunji | scott_puopolo: Seems like it will use all configuration files in modprobe.d, I don't think the order matters | 22:31 |

| jhutchins_wk | guideX: Did you install the ssh server? | 22:52 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: sorry, but I call bs | 22:52 |
| ClientAlive | I'll look it up | 22:52 |
| jrib | DeadWeasel: what does help → about say for the name of that program? I'll try to open it here | 22:52 |
| ClientAlive | thx | 22:52 |
| guideX | I did not ddo anythign extra to get ssh running, I do not know how | 22:52 |
| scott_puopolo | jhutchins_wk: i have a wireless chipset that used to work until i upgraded to 12.04; i read in ubuntuforums how to use b43legacy under fwcutter; this works, but i need to make it permanent. | 22:52 |
| jrib | !ssh | guideX | 22:52 |
| ubottu | guideX: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 22:52 |
| guideX | it's just so painfully slow, i'm looking for an alternate way to get to it | 22:52 |
| tekk | right… i've just created an ubuntu-spin-off from one of the core i7 mac mini's as an ISO and using ubiquity install | 22:52 |
| tekk | works nicely :) | 22:52 |
| tekk | installing on the i5 now… i'll host it somewhere for everyone else | 22:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ClientAlive, good luck with the Google-fu, it'll confirm what I said. You don't lose a thing. :) | 22:53 |
| scott_puopolo | jhutchins_wk: 12.04 was using 'wl' as default for my wireless chipset but it didn't work, my attempt to use b43legacy was being 'blocked' by 'wl' | 22:53 |
| raven_ | how to close cvlc on 404 error? | 22:54 |
| guideX | so no way to get ssh on it or | 22:54 |
| scott_puopolo | jhutchins_wk: so i'm trying to learn how to blacklist 'wl', enable 'b43legacy', and make these changes permanent (which files do i alter) | 22:54 |
| jrib | guideX: did you read the guide that ubottu sent you? It tells you how to enable ssh access | 22:54 |
| guideX | lokl this guide is huge | 22:55 |
| scott_puopolo | i can do it manually at each startup but i'm trying to make the change take affect permanently (will help me to understand process also) | 22:56 |
| guideX | why must everything be so complex :( | 22:56 |
| genii-around | scott_puopolo: I believe I explained if you put wl in /etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf and put b43legacy in /etc/modules that this should work, without having to know about how udev is working underneath | 22:56 |
| guideX | every time I need to do something there's another 10 page guide to read | 22:56 |
| jrib | scott_puopolo: please realize that unless you are having a conversation with someone (by prefixing what you say with their nick) that you should assume we have a 0-line memory | 22:57 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: Hey, if that's true then FANTASIK! I love it. But it really doesn't make logical sense. Why would they make it for nothing? Anyhow, I'm trying seeing what I can find and if you can confirm it would be appreciated. You deff. get an apology if you can prove me wrong. | 22:57 |
| scott_puopolo | genii-around: thank you so much for this; i think i was using a file called modprobe-b43legacy.conf but it didn't seem to work, i will try your suggestion! | 22:58 |
| jrib | guideX: what page are you reading exactly? | 22:58 |
| guideX | configuring | 22:58 |
| guideX | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 22:58 |
| jrib | guideX: why don't you start with the install instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html | 22:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ClientAlive, I was talking in terms of "it doesn't remove any packages that might already exist on the system." :) | 22:59 |
| scott_puopolo | jrib, genii-around, jhutchins_wk: thank you all for your help! | 23:01 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: ok. But perhaps it provides some functionality that I might not like to lose. So I'm seeing some component of it called ubuntu-recommends -> http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-meta_1.267/changelog <- where it appears it's being used to group applications they want to come with a default install (tying things togeter). I'm wondering if that is a file which can be edited to disconnect | 23:02 |
| ClientAlive | ubuntu-desktop from particular application then can remove the app without effecting ubuntu-desktop. | 23:02 |
| jroo | i just installed last night linux lite and i noticed that my internet is much slower than ubuntu is there a way to speed it up | 23:02 |
| jrib | jroo: this channel is for ubuntu support, not sure what linux lite is | 23:02 |
| jroo | ok | 23:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ClientAlive: That it won't. If it sees a metapackage dependency disappears, there goes ubuntu-desktop, but you don't lose anything else other than the app. That's because ubuntu-desktop is a METAPACKAGE. | 23:03 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: cool. by chance do you have some link I can understand what a meta package is? I know what meta data is (conceptually) but not sure how it is applied in a real system. I'm intersted. :) | 23:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | A metapackage is just a symbolic link to other packages (kind of like incorporations in Solaris) | 23:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And yes, don't hate on me for having used Solaris/OpenIndiana before. :) | 23:06 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: oh, nevermind. I found something -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages | 23:06 |
| ClientAlive | thank you sir | 23:06 |
| bel3atar | widad-charai: choufi ch7al ta3 lbachar lay7fed | 23:07 |
| bel3atar | everybody welcome widad-charai | 23:08 |
| ClientAlive | SonikkuAmerica: So what is this guy doing when he says "Removed rarian-compat from desktop": http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-meta_1.267/changelog | 23:08 |
| ClientAlive | As in "removed from..." | 23:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That just means they dropped the rarian libraries from being a dependency for that package. | 23:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | It's needed for other stuff, so if you happen to install said other stuff, the rarian libraries (librarian) will be installed with other stuff. | 23:09 |

| roasted | I'm having a brain fart. I remember someone telling me about an rsync command that continually runs all of the time, thereby making the source and destination operate in a mirrored fashion. I thought it was async or something like that, but I can't remember. Anybody know what I'm referring to offhand? | 23:35 |

| pewter_tao | did ubuntu just change a bunch of stuff from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin? | 23:42 |
| jrib | pewter_tao: no. Apt should never be touching /usr/local/bin | 23:43 |
| pewter_tao | tnx :) | 23:44 |
| roasted | Is there a way to run rsync as a daemon so it'll continually sync source to destination 247? | 23:45 |
| JPeterson | how do i apply the change after editing /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user manually? (not through crontab -e) | 23:47 |
| gustav_ | JPeterson: sudo service crontab restart | 23:49 |
| gustav_ | JPeterson: Edit with crontab -e. Not manually. | 23:49 |
| JPeterson | doesnt make a difference | 23:49 |
| gustav_ | What difference? You are doing things without defined behaviour. | 23:49 |

| phunyguy | one would think that crontab -e is easier... | 23:52 |
| phunyguy | why not use it? | 23:52 |
| JPeterson | gustav_ link me to your stack exchange account because i'm now curious about the insight present in your messages there regarding your opinion about knowing how things work | 23:53 |
| phunyguy | unless you are editing for a different user? | 23:53 |
| gustav_ | JPeterson: If you want to know how crontab works I suggest you look at the source. | 23:53 |

| xiaclo | I have a really strange issue with logrotate, for some reason /var/lib/logrotate.status is showing a file as rotated even though it isn't. Running logrotate manually obviously says it doesn't need rotating, and logrotate -f works as expected. Any ideas what could be causing it to not rotate or falsely update the status? | 23:54 |
| JPeterson | gustav_: the link | 23:55 |
| JPeterson | gustav_: whats your top three reupations on stack exchange? | 23:55 |
| JPeterson | by site | 23:55 |
| phunyguy | JPeterson, this probably isn't the place for that | 23:55 |
| JPeterson | it is now because gustav has spoken | 23:55 |
| phunyguy | no it isn't. | 23:55 |
| JPeterson | if speaking its reasonable that there exist a way to determine of knowledge exist | 23:56 |
| capoderra | question: if the graphics isn't recognized while using a live USB, does that mean it won't work when I install Ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| k1l_ | JPeterson: stop that. | 23:56 |
| phunyguy | capoderra, depends on the hardware | 23:56 |
| capoderra | Nvidia GeForce m... i think 330 | 23:57 |
| JPeterson | it's uncalled for to ask for the http://askubuntu.com/ rating for a person that gives a retarded answer? | 23:57 |
| phunyguy | are you in LiveUSB now? | 23:57 |
| phunyguy | capoderra, ^^^ | 23:57 |
| capoderra | yes | 23:57 |
| phunyguy | capoderra, 12.10? | 23:57 |
| JPeterson | it seems like that opinion would demand a reasoned discussion | 23:57 |
| k1l_ | JPeterson: yes it is. last time now: drop that and stick to the issue or leave the channel | 23:57 |

| capoderra | 12.10 | 23:57 |
| phunyguy | JPeterson, it may, but this isn't the place for the discussion. | 23:57 |
| phunyguy | capoderra, go into software sources via the dash | 23:58 |
| capoderra | done | 23:58 |
| phunyguy | then additional drivers tab | 23:58 |
| phunyguy | see if anything comes up for graphics. | 23:58 |
| capoderra | Hmm? what additional drives tab? | 23:59 |
| phunyguy | installation probably wont be possible, but it may tell you that one is available, and if so, you would have working graphics after an install of the OS, then an install of the restricted drivers | 23:59 |
