[00:06] it wasn't overheating, just instability with the default setting provided by asus, [00:06] thanks & i' [00:06] 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] i'll be careful!

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. Did I edit the correct file? Or is something else changing my IP? [00:45] tomreyn: Let's say a janitor walks by.

[01:53] VlanX, you probably just have an application writing to the disk. check with iotop [01:54] escott: already done, just formatted the drive, happened with two HDD's [01:54] escott: iotop only says jbd2 [01:54] I have seen ext4 freak out a few times, but a restart fixes it for me. (It usually hard-freezes my system) [01:54] w/ ext2 this doesnt happen [01:54] jbd2 is journaling IIRC [01:54] phunyguy:restarted the system, nothing changed [01:55] any smart errors, VlanX? [01:55] phunyguy: i thought of that, but both drives?? [01:56] and if i format them with ext2 this doesnt happen [01:56] what ubuntu version, VlanX? [01:56] 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 [01:57] bsmith093: ISTR you're okay with ext4. It's ext3 that has a 32,000 limit [01:58] phunyguy: 12.10 [02:00] Anyone have experience installing HP8600 all in one -- in particular the scanner?

[02:02] tomreyn: i would say 5-15% [02:02] tomreyn: yep, everything up to date [02:03] 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. === chrisward is now known as Guest8882 [02:05] VlanX: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119742/ext4-jbd2-journaling-active-even-on-empty-filesystem#answers [02:05] tomreyn: its all text files anyway, so there just going to be compressed when its done, but thanks [02:06] 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.

[02:31] run update-manager [02:32] ok [02:32] 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] 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 [02:33] xangua: thanks for your help [02:34] im installing ubuntu alongside windows 8 and followed post 2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2103961 [02:34] he says turn secure boot off, as well as quick boot, but leave UEFI mode on [02:35] is that how it has to be even after im done installing? [02:35] quick boot just skips diagonostics [02:37] k [02:41] Couple questions that I can't seem to find answers to anywhere... I grew up on windows software(no laughing) but been using linux exclusively now for almost 8 months. Having an issue on my Satellite 305D with the screen blanking after about 10 min of no input like its a power save function. I have unchecked "Dim to Save Power" and set "Turn Screen off" to NEVER. Still blanks out and I can't figure out which process is causing it. I have Tweak and Compiz Config [02:44] Hello, i am looking to know if their is some package for ubuntu server which allows a constant "remote desktop" like access to files. For example i would like to open a text file on a network computer and be able to just press ctrl+s and save it on the server without going through ftp and having to move it everytime. [02:47] someone wanna help me with a surely stoopid reason I can't get cp -r to work? === Pinkamena_D is now known as chaos_zero [02:48] "cp -r /dir_one/*.jpg /dir_two/jpgs/" does not seem to recurse [02:49] Is there a way to tell apt to never install jenkins from the ubuntu repository, no matter what?? [02:49] if a match for *.jpg is in /dir_one it will copy those files, but not anything in a subdirectory, and if *.jpg is only in a subdirectory the command will fail with "file not found" === solid is now known as Guest84053 [02:52] !pinning | pabst^ [02:52] pabst^: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [02:52] hey guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu12.04 on a netbook, but once the system boots into ubuntu (usb live install), neither the keyboard or the trackpad work. I have reason to believe they keyboard does not work because the hardware supports multiple langs. Can I get past this somehow? [02:52] pabst^: but if you have a PPA for Jenkins, it won't install the official repo version. [02:53] If I can change the locale from the boot options somehow, I would be good, but I don't know how to change the boot options in a USB install [03:06] Can someone help me please? [03:06] helloh! [03:06] Wow. I did a bios update on my dell e4200 and I'm shocked with the performance increase i received. [03:06] nvm, I was using a unetbootin installer which does not give you those options, but the native ubuntu installer does [03:06] I've assigned keyboard shortcuts to VOlume up and VOlume Down [03:06] but the incriments are too large. Any idea how to adjust that? [03:06] Can someone help me please! im having a bad problem! [03:07] Anyone help me? [03:07] jimaji123, [03:07] whatsyerissue?

[03:13] what a surprise [03:13] have to go when asked for an example [03:14] somsip, On windows it is important to have always the newest update version of java. Does Ubuntu use backported patches on jdk 7 up9 because I guess the exploits will also harm linux systems [03:14] (There is already jdk u14) [03:15] esing: no idea. But do you understand that the exploits are (AFAIK) affecting browser plugins and not desktop applications? [03:16] howcode: did you get it sorted? the wireless + kernel update? [03:17] somsip, I think the exploits will also work if you run a java file on your desktop [03:17] aaiutoo [03:17] na vita che non uso irc..che faccio?

[03:28] jimaji123: asked you 3 times for an example, please give an example [03:28] jimaji123: you said it happens with others [03:28] jimaji123: give me a different example [03:28] jimaji123: there was no linux download on that page, although we have found one later [03:28] http://linux.toribash.com/ [03:28] jimaji123: please give me a DIFFERENT example [03:28] Okay. [03:29] Do you know what steam is? [03:29] That has games [03:29] jimaji123: I'm well aware of steam [03:29] jimaji123: I'm asking for an example of your failing download please.

[03:30] jimaji123: no - I want an example that is failing [03:30] jimaji123: you said everydownload fails [03:31] this should be easy to give me examples [03:31] Yes. [03:31] Okay ill gvei you one thats failing. [03:31] Hang on [03:31] great, so give me an example [03:31] http://www.extremevelocity3d.com/download.aspx [03:31] jimaji123: there is no download on that page [03:32] http://www.extremevelocity3d.com/download.aspx?CacheBuster=2%2f3%2f2013+9%3a30%3a57+PM& [03:32] jimaji123: I suspect your problem is you are trying to open files that are not archives [03:32] No. [03:32] This link, you have to login to download it. [03:32] jimaji123: so far the files you've looked at are not archives [03:32] jimaji123: that download link requires me to create an account, it's not going to happen [03:32] Ok ill tell you whats going on [03:32] When i click on any download [03:32] I'm pretty sure I can see what's going on [03:33] It opens the Archive Manager [03:33] Its says Open with [03:33] Then it has Archive Manager [03:33] instead of clicking save to disk, you click open [03:33] and these files are not archives, so it's failing [03:33] I click on Ok [03:33] why are you trying to open these files with archive manager....they are not archives [03:33] download them and save them to disk [03:33] Ok. [03:34] anyone is aware of any other wickness of hotmail and tamper data reset? [03:34] Wait. [03:34] Ikonia [03:34] otherenergy: nothing to do with ubuntu [03:34] Want me to give you a screen shot on what it says? [03:34] no [03:34] I've told you the problem [03:34] and the solution [03:34] I don't need a screen shot [03:34] Wait [03:34] Lets start all the way over. [03:34] Okay [03:34] why ? [03:34] Im download this game [03:34] From [03:34] I've told you the problem and the solution [03:34] http://www.extremevelocity3d.com/download.aspx?CacheBuster=2%2f3%2f2013+9%3a30%3a57+PM& [03:34] jimaji123: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:34] what u mean with? nothing to do with ubuntu [03:35] extremevelocity3d doen't have a linux installer. jimaji123 [03:35] otherenergy: hotmail weaknesses are nothing to do with ubuntu [03:35] otherenergy: this channel is for ubuntu only [03:35] So if its not archive, then i cant have it? [03:35] what channel do you recommend? [03:35] otherenergy: no idea [03:35] Ikonia. [03:36] Im downloading something and it says [03:36] Im using firefox [03:36] And it says what should firefox do with this file? [03:36] jimaji123: I know what is happening [03:36] * rootpt is away: bbl [03:36] And i has open with Archive Manager [03:36] jimaji123: I've told you 3 times the problem....and the solution [03:36] Okay so what to do. [03:36] jimaji123: stop doing that [03:36] What to click on [03:36] download it to disk - not open [03:36] !away > rootpt [03:36] rootpt, please see my private message [03:36] It dont say download to disk. [03:36] It says save file thoe. [03:36] come on.... [03:37] I click on save file [03:37] save file = download to disk [03:37] and it downloads it to disk [03:37] Now its download [03:37] Oh. [03:37] great, so no problem, your downloads are working [03:37] I didn't know wjat save file. [03:37] Okay its downloading on the firefox thing [03:37] as I told you 3 times, you where trying to open non-archive files with archive manager [03:37] * IveBeenBit is back (gone 02:19:42) [03:37] !away > IveBeenBit [03:37] IveBeenBit, please see my private message [03:38] Well, how am i suposed to open non-archiv stuff? [03:38] jimaji123: with the right tool....depending on the file type [03:38] And what does wine do? [03:38] I just installed lubuntu and unity booted. I thought lubuntu was supposed to use lxde? [03:38] jimaji123: trys to run windows programs in linux, not something I suggest you do [03:38] Okay now Ikonia its done downloading [03:39] Now what to do now. [03:39] jimaji123: what type of file is it (what's it's extension) [03:39] Its Exe. [03:39] LOL [03:39] Its Setup.exe [03:39] jimaji123: then you don't use it on linux [03:39] jimaji123: you use it on windows [03:39] I alternate from windows to ubuntu [03:40] Sorry, im just new to this [03:40] Okay, so how would i install steam then [03:40] jimaji123: the URL you gave me earlier [03:40] yea this one [03:40] jimaji123: again, not something I'd recommend you do, because it's in beta [03:40] http://store.steampowered.com/about/ [03:40] and you don't seem to have much idea what you are doing [03:40] Whats in beta [03:40] Ubuntu? [03:41] jimaji123: steam on linux [03:41] Oh. [03:41] 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] so it's not something I'd suggest you do [03:41] So, that means that most games are for windows than linux... [03:41] correct [03:41] >=I [03:42] That means i cant play my games anymore =O [03:42] use windows [03:42] Dang. [03:42] So no games are for linux? [03:43] jimaji123: that is false. [03:43] the majority are written for windows [03:43] jimaji123: There are lots of games for linux [03:43] But what about the games i play =/ [03:44] 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] 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] no it doesn't [03:44] playonlinux is just a wine wrapper [03:44] I have the suspend times set for 5 minutes and 30 minutes on AC. [03:44] and something I'd strongly suggest you keep away from [03:45] 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] Save file? Or open with this archiv thing [03:45] jimaji123: what ? [03:45] 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] ... [03:45] jimaji123: what are you downloading ? [03:45] Im downloading Playonlinux [03:45] And its asking [03:45] Open with [03:45] then I'nm not helping [03:45] Or save file [03:45] it is a BAD idea [03:45] jimaji123: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] save file [03:46] if you wnat to play windows games - use windows [03:46] LOL.. oh jeez. Sorry. My bad. [03:46] i can help [03:46] So, ikonia usually it would say either download for windows linux or mac? [03:47] jimaji123: sorry - I'm helping with this [03:47] And what is PlayOnLinux anywase? It has games? [03:47] i suggest you just go with wine [03:47] no, [03:47] it does not have games [03:47] I suggest you use windows to play windows games [03:47] as you will not progress with any other method [03:47] 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] ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] And i have another problem ikonia. [03:47] what is wine? [03:47] it's an emulator to run windows programs [03:47] Your Mileage May Vary [03:48] How do i install wine? [03:48] !wine [03:48] 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] jimaji123: it's something I'd strongly recommend you do not do [03:48] Why? [03:49] I just wanna play games =/ im starting to fell that all my windows games are not for linux. [03:49] 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] I just want to get games =/ [03:49] jimaji123: then use windows [03:49] jimaji123: may i recommend rocksndiamonds [03:49] But im going to download steam [03:49] 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 [03:50] jimaji123, advise your game publishers of your interest or explore linux games. or why not both! Wine is no guarantee. [03:50] if all you want to do is game, you're going to have to give up a few specifics [03:50] Okay, so how do i install steam since im on linux? [03:50] jimaji123: check if the games you want are on steam for linux first [03:50] you would need to either A: install wine, which is not recommended for you at your level, [03:50] jimaji123: also the steam platform is in beta [03:50] or B: wait for the linux version of steam to come out properly [03:50] jimaji123: and will depend on your hardwares support if it works [03:50] jimaji123: as I told you earlier [03:50] jimaji123: I actually haven't installed steam on linux, I've been thinking about it though, since CS 1.6 joined the Beta lineup [03:51] what sorts of games do you prefer btw [03:51] I like toribash and steam [03:51] steam is not a game [03:51] I usually play steam most of the time. [03:51] I kniw. [03:51] steam only has a few games available on linux [03:51] Its what i get games on [03:51] so again - check if the game you want is on steam for linux [03:51] 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] I usually play tf2 on steam [03:51] cant find a way to hide it [03:51] jimaji123: I'm sorry - you need to start listening to what's being said to you [03:51] GreaseMonkey: Do you still need WINE for it? I thought you didn't anymore. [03:52] 'Ikonia i know. [03:52] dydzEz2_, sounds like a windows 8 issue and not an ubuntu issue ... [03:52] You said that i need to see if the games support the games. [03:52] 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 [03:53] dydzEz2_, ##windows might know [03:53] 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] If I uninstall a unity-webapp, how do I get the entry removed from the indicator-applet? [03:53] Kunji, you play steam? [03:53] even a restart didnt remove it. [03:53] dydzEz2_: I dual boot 8, but mine don't show up. [03:53] jimaji123: steam is not a game ! [03:53] Ikonia i know. [03:53] jimaji123: so how would someone "play steam" [03:53] jimaji123: may i suggest sume other games, because right now you're not going to be playing TF2. [03:53] I metn to ask him does he "have" steam [03:54] kunji did you dual boot in UEFI mode? [03:54] So linux dont work for tf2? [03:54] assaultcube is a personal favourite of mine [03:54] 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] jimaji123: do you have windows on your machine ? [03:54] as far as you're concerned, TF2 will not work on linux [03:54] Yes i do [03:54] I have win 7 and ubuntu [03:54] wait what tf2 sais there is a linux version on steam's website [03:54] jimaji123: right - so to play windows games.....why will you not use windows ? [03:54] dydzEz2_: Nope, I stuck with regular MBR for now [03:54] then if you really, really want to play tf2 then go on windows [03:54] jimaji123: the games where designed for windows..... [03:54] Yes, i would [03:55] I know. [03:55] 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] Oh alright, gotcha kunji -- one more question -- did you have to use boot repair in ubuntu? [03:55] jimaji123: It should work for TF2 [03:55] jimaji123: right ? so why is this conversation happening, you want to play windows games, use windows, you have windows, job done [03:55] 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] gabessdsp_: check your boot order or something [03:55] and i've got it working in wine before as well.. along with skyrim [03:55] Kunji, tf2 will work for linux? [03:55] oh that too [03:55] secure boot? I'll look for it [03:55] But i want to play some games on lunix. [03:55] yeah turn secure boot off, that thing is cancer [03:56] I will have to see some of them old games i used to play. [03:56] They were for lunix. [03:56] rocksndiamonds perhaps? [03:56] 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] jimaji123: why ? you don't have experience at this time, you struggle to listen to instructions, [03:56] jimaji123: if you actually want to play the game, windows is the platform you need [03:56] ryzome and realms online are good mmo's with native linux clients [03:56] 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] Ikonia, im only 13 [03:56] Give me a break. [03:56] jimaji123: so ? [03:56] gabessdsp_: So you burned an ISO of Ubuntu to a CD or DVD disc? [03:56] I do'nt see how age is a factor [03:56] Knoledge is. [03:56] you want to play windows games, you have windows, job done [03:56] it's 20MB too large for a CD-R so I buirned it to a DVD-R [03:57] thanks for the answers kunji [03:57] jimaji123, time to get yourself educated maybe? [03:57] *burned [03:57] jimaji123: I said it twice already, it does work for linux. [03:57] Lol. [03:57] Most 13 years olds have more knowledge the 30 year olds L:/ [03:57] Okay i will be installing tf2 right now. [03:57] Kunji, but how? [03:57] Look at this link [03:57] http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/?snr=1_7_suggest__13 [03:57] steam linux awesome [03:57] And the computer you are trying to boot to has a DVD player right? [03:57] !who [03:57] 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] yes [03:58] People still use optical media? [03:58] fairly certain [03:58] Kunji that link does not have anything that says "linux" [03:58] 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] gabessdsp_: When booting are you selecting your boot device manually or do you have a priority list set in the bios? [03:58] How do i use linux binary? [03:58] 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] I have the priority list set in bios [03:59] gabessdsp_:Make sure. You can't play a DVD in a CD Player. Make sure it says DVD on it. [03:59] !mini|gabessdsp_, [03:59] 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] 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] it's called cdrom on the front....the other is called DVD/CD Writer [03:59] Okay. [03:59] there is 2 [03:59] Well im just downloading steam right now [04:00] ravens WON! [04:00] YEAHHH! [04:00] jimaji123: This might be helpful: http://steamcommunity.com/linux [04:00] Kunji [04:00] gabe [04:00] I am having a problem now. [04:00] o_o [04:00] yes trage? [04:00] /w/w 2 [04:00] oops. [04:00] 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] I installed steam. and now it opened ubuntu software center. === mike is now known as Guest65873 [04:00] And it says [04:00] 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] I need help [04:01] It says Wrong architecture'i386' [04:01] !details|Guest65873, [04:01] 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] 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] gabessdsp_: a writter does both... [04:01] gabessdsp_: Try putting it in the DVD writer drive. Think that will work out better for you. [04:02] oh...I feel stupid....I'll try that then. I'll be back to report... [04:02] gabessdsp_: Goodluck and have fun. [04:02] jimaji123: You need the 64 bit version of Steam [04:02] Kunji, then were do i get it? [04:02] 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 [04:03] reformat is what i want to do === gangnamstyle is now known as gbyers[Away] [04:03] 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] Omfg, linux is hard for downloading games. [04:03] Guest65873, download the iso. Make a bootable cd or usb re-install [04:03] Why do I have to buy some apps for $0.00 ??? [04:03] * cfhowlett annnnnnnnd it begins ... [04:03] jimaji123: how many times have I said to you "use windows" [04:04] how do i do that [04:04] I know, but i just wanna try a steam game on linux. [04:04] jimaji123: but you are not trying [04:04] 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] you've not done/read anything - enough now [04:04] 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] Guest65873, you're on the internet now, right? get the ubuntu download page, recommend you download via torrents [04:04] jimaji123: what are you trying to do? [04:04] is there a cli web browser in ubuntu? [04:05] howcode: lynx [04:05] im trying to install steam first of all. [04:05] 64 bit [04:05] 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] Im trying to install steam first of all Kunji [04:05] I clicked on the about tab on steam [04:05] gabessdsp_: what are the options [04:05] And it says steam has linux in beta and all that [04:05] howcode: there's lynx and w3m i believe [04:05] THe options are: [04:05] woops [04:05] one sec [04:05] 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] howcode: lynxs, elinks, something like that...wikipedia helps :) [04:06] Were is the .deb? [04:06] howcode: i don't know if there are any that do javascript, i THINK elinks might [04:06] jimaji123: come on, [04:06] jimaji123: hold on [04:06] jimaji123: if you can't even find the download, you have no chance of actually using this software [04:06] greasemonkey, thats ok i was only looking for one for browsing the c++ reference websites [04:06] its easy on windows [04:06] jimaji123: please start actually doing something for yourself rather than just "how, how how how how how" all the time [04:06] The options are: Floppy, LS120, Hard Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and LAN [04:06] jimaji123: then use windows - [04:06] jimaji123, then use windows [04:06] i have to go [04:06] i am atr the download page but their is nothing their [04:07] oy [04:07] okay [04:07] can i ask a question now lol [04:07] gabessdsp_: try CDROM [04:07] gabessdsp_: My money is on LS120 but that even seems odd. Have you tried using this drive to read/write lately? [04:07] 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] trage: an LS120 is a special 120MB floppy disk [04:07] it's definitely not that. [04:07] Guest65873, http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ [04:07] my money's on CDROM [04:07] gabessdsp_: Just wondering if it is hooked up to the motherboard. [04:08] DVD writers usually have *DVD* in the name somewhere. [04:08] just wondering, why do I have to pay $0.00 for some apps on Ubuntu Software Center? Is it a glitch? [04:08] 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] gabessdsp_: it is NOT the LS120 [04:08] grahamcracker, not a glitch [04:09] gabessdsp_: Do you have the data cable plugged into the mobo? If so is it a ribbon or sata plug? [04:09] nothing is happen when i try to open [04:09] It's all ribbon/IDE [04:09] no SATA [04:09] it's old from 2002 [04:09] HP Pavilion 700 [04:09] cfhowlett so i have to put all my credit card info to be able to download? [04:09] gabessdsp_: do you have a dedicated ribbon for the dvd drive? [04:09] LS120? hmmm [04:10] Yes there is a ribbon for the dvd drive, and a separate one ofr the hDD [04:10] *for [04:10] 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] gabessdsp_: does the BIOS detect the DVD drive as a CD drive? [04:10] 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. [04:11] gabessdsp_: or just connect JUST the DVD drive to the mobo. [04:11] Guest65873, download save the torrent. open transmission (torrent manager) and add the torrent. Start download. go have a coffee . [04:11] 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] 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] please please please help [04:11] 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). [04:12] Any suggestion is highly appreciated. [04:12] Any idea? [04:12] mojtaba: Check for proprietary video drivers. [04:12] !details|thomedy, [04:12] 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] 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 [04:13] but i cant get localhost/xampp [04:13] hi all, can anyone recommend a good XFCE theme for a Large screen like a TV? Something with large text and icons? [04:13] trage: From where should I check that? [04:13] 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] sorry that was a lot to type [04:13] thomedy, this might be worth submitting on #ubuntu=server [04:13] #ubuntu-server [04:13] ? is that a room [04:13] thomedy, yes [04:13] okay thanaks [04:14] so what about jumpers? Not sure if you saw my last message or not [04:14] not working [04:14] Guest65873, details help ... [04:15] How can I check for the proprietary video driver? [04:15] so how all my browers are gone for some reason i was able to login to this chat [04:15] traje? [04:16] I mena trage [04:16] this is the only internet brower i have [04:16] *ment [04:16] Guest65873, you've got weird stuff happening then. Did you download the torrent seed? [04:16] ugh cannot type today [04:16] mojtaba: Software Sources in the dash... then click Additional Drivers tab. [04:16] 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] 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] 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 [04:17] Hi everyone! New Ubuntu user here. [04:17] i cant do it and dont know where it would be for me to do this [04:17] *and mounted [04:17] jessemuffin, greetings [04:17] jessemuffin, what's up? [04:17] used to run Ubuntu on my old solid state EEE pc [04:17] 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] jessemuffin, try lubuntu or xubuntu [04:18] Well I dont have that EEE pc anymore [04:18] haha [04:18] jessemuffin, moth are designed for older and lower spec machines ... like the EEE [04:18] I had a customized ubuntu of somesort on it [04:18] netbookuntu or something [04:18] 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] but it's on some pins [04:19] jessemuffin, netbook edition no doubt [04:19] Think so [04:19] how do I add a deb repository to my ubuntu [04:19] trage: There is just one and it is for my wireless [04:19] !repo|guideX, [04:19] 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] jessemuffin, so what's the issue today? [04:20] but what's the command [04:20] 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] Hmm, wanted to see if anyone has gotten the game "League of Legends" to work on ubuntu [04:20] these docs give me a lot to read, but no actual command [04:20] trage: doing that now...one sec === leechradio[away] is now known as leechradio [04:20] guideX, this is to add a PPA is it? [04:21] ug i'm just trying to download something [04:21] how do you do it [04:21] guideX, sudo apt-get install foo.deb [04:21] so you cant help me [04:21] 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. [04:22] Guest65873: any problem can be solved with enough patience. hang in there [04:22] trage: I hvae ATI mobile chipset with the Intel processor. :( [04:22] hmm I have a file like this... zend.deb.repo [04:22] and inside it has "deb parameter" [04:22] cfhowlett it never asked for payment, all is well [04:23] trage: Isn't there anyway to fix it? [04:23] grahamcracker, good to know. Have fun, be safe [04:24] 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] when I do sudo apt-get install zend.deb.repo I get "cannot find any package by regex" or somehting [04:24] guideX, .deb is a deb package. .repo is something else. [04:24] Guest65873: do you have access to the synaptic package manager? [04:25] oh [04:25] guideX, does the download site provide install guidance? [04:25] Anybody here dual-boot with Windows and have full-disk encryption (or know about such things)? [04:25] not sure [04:25] yeah the file says to type 'install_sz.sh [04:25] but when I do it says command not found [04:25] I dual-boot with windows but i used some program called WUBI to do it. Probably bad on my part [04:26] then I found all these repositories, I guess for different types of linux [04:26] it's the zend framework.. [04:26] 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] Guest65873: tell us your situation. do you have ubuntu booted now? what are you seeing on your screen? [04:26] jessemuffin, wubi is a testing environment for ubuntu and should not be considered a long-term installation method. [04:26] 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] yes it is booted now [04:27] anyone using fglrx from xorg-edgers ppa? [04:27] Okay i'll keep that in mind [04:27] 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] Would it run faster if i did it properly? [04:27] but no acess to the browers [04:27] 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. [04:28] *muffin [04:28] where would i find the synaptic package [04:28] jessemuffin, properly meaning a regular dual boot? probably. You could also install virtualbox and test things in that. [04:28] 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] jessemuffin: I would expect it to be a bit faster, but not a lot in most cases [04:28] gabessdsp_: Is there a jumper connecting the 2 pins for CSEL? [04:29] Alright, i just wanted something to get away with windows, a new perspective [04:29] Guest65873: can you click on the button on your task bar that says "Dash Home"? [04:29] trage: yes a little white jumper connecting both pins [04:30] 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] no [04:30] 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] 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] Guest65873, that is not normal functioning and leads me to suspect your boot iso is malformed. [04:30] Guest65873: then on your keyboard press Control Alt and the T button [04:31] 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] jessemuffin, not hard to do. [04:31] I have a 4g memory card, could i use that? [04:31] JokesOnYou77, aren't there such in the Accessibility menu? [04:31] trage: ummmm this is all old back from 2002. But the plugs are black and grey [04:32] Guest65873: when you do Ctrl Alt T does your terminal pop up? [04:32] JokesOnYou77, nvrmnd, I just looked. Not there. [04:32] yes [04:32] gotit [04:32] purple screen [04:32] cfhowlett, yeah. And I',, looking for something preferably designed with an HTPC in mind [04:33] in the terminal type "synaptic-pkexec" [04:33] JokesOnYou77, have you tried xbmc? [04:33] JokesOnYou77, +1 xbmc [04:34] xbmc if its just for media.... [04:34] mythtv for dvr + media! [04:34] i thought myth was out of dev [04:34] 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] now what do i do [04:34] 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] Not at all Queen`Bee where did you hear that? [04:35] ubuntutv site several months back [04:35] What's the best way to install Ubuntu on my windows 7 pc as a dual boot [04:35] trage: hmmm, alright. Well I'll go through all of those, I'll also try the drive (now that it's out) on my main computer. THank you so much for your help! [04:35] JokesOnYou77, www.xfce-look.org [04:35] Mythbuntu is out of dev maybe [04:35] XBMC doesn't have a built in browser and no Netfilx support in Linux, So I need somethign that will let me see some text from across the room while I'm using the browser [04:35] nope [04:35] Guest65873: in the search area at the top type in Firefox [04:35] gabessdsp_: No prob. Good luck. [04:35] Mythbuntun repo is plenty active [04:35] trage: Thanks! [04:35] I get updates every couple of days [04:35] your right, i was thinking of mythbuntu === yamba_ is now known as yamba [04:36] Korny2, mythbuntu uses ubuntu repos [04:36] so of course you get updates [04:36] 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] it is saying not compatable [04:36] mythbuntu has its own repo for fixes [04:36] Sorry, not MythTV, Mythbuntu [04:37] JokesOnYou77, last link I sent has all kinds of xfce eye candy [04:37] its the reverese ubuntu uses mythbuntu repos :P [04:37] *sigh* [04:37] well mythbuntu didn't come out with a 12.10 version. [04:37] Last I reado n mythbuntu is they were going to be not releaseing non LTS builds [04:37] cfhowlett, yeah, I was browsing there for about 20 minutes before I came to ask for suggestions. [04:37] sigh I can't type today [04:38] Guest65873: it seems like you have some serious issues. you will likely need to boot using LiveCD or LiveUSB. [04:38] What's the best way to install Ubuntu on my windows 7 pc as a dual boot [04:38] ahh, ok, well I don't know, just playing devil's advocate [04:38] They are only releases on LTS because mythtv is more of an appliance [04:38] JokesOnYou77, full circle then ... but that probably is the best lresourcee for eyecandy [04:38] !dualboot|jessemuffin, [04:38] jessemuffin,: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:38] phunyguy, Actually I'm running a Mythbuntu 12.04.1 LiveCD right now [04:38] TYY [04:38] I'll be honest though I haven't been to the mythbuntu page in a few months so my info may be incorrect [04:38] Guest65873: Are you installing from the 32bit or 64bit Live Cd? [04:38] Guest65873: it would be best if i turned your problem over to one of the expert level guys here. i can only help with pretty basic stuff [04:42] hi [04:42] ho mojtaba [04:42] hi** [04:42] How can I custom build a driver? [04:42] 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] phunyguy: hi [04:42] mojtaba, as in compile one from source? [04:42] or write one? [04:42] I have ATI mobile chipset with intel processor [04:43] my laptop is very hot, even when no program is running [04:43] phunyguy: I have installed ubuntu recently on it. [04:43] which one do i select [04:43] mojtaba, do you want to write a driver, or build one from source? [04:44] phunyguy: I guess build from source. [04:44] well ATI is closed source, mojtaba so you are probably using the open source community driver [04:44] phunyguy: I just want to solve my current problem actually [04:44] phunyguy: I am not sure, but maybe. [04:44] actually I have switched to linux recently [04:44] either way, what version of Ubuntu? [04:45] 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] phunyguy: 12.10 [04:45] did you get a message saying restricted drivers were available? [04:45] 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] ok now which one do i pick [04:45] phunyguy: I have installed restricted drivers [04:45] Guest65873: If you don't see a 64bit anywhere, then you need the 32bit version. [04:46] let me see [04:46] mojtaba, so it just runs hot? no actual issues? [04:46] are you sure it is due to graphics? [04:46] Whoops.. wrong guest. Damn tabbed autocomplete [04:46] phunyguy: I am not sure, but it is very hot and the fan is always working. [04:47] mojtaba, you may have an issue with processor stepping [04:47] phunyguy: someone in this chatroom told me, may be it is because of the graphic card [04:47] i see alot but dont know which one to pick [04:47] err throttling [04:47] phunyguy: would please let me know what should I do? [04:47] phunyguy: because I am pretty new to linux era. [04:47] i am at the parent dir [04:47] :D [04:47] 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] mojtaba: use the addational-drivers tool to see if theres ati drivers suggested for your card. [04:48] dr_willis: How should I use it? [04:48] 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] mojtaba: you run it.. and click on the driver it suggests.... [04:48] mojtaba, how is your battery life? [04:48] in 12.10 its under the software-sources tool tabs [04:48] dr_willis, he said he already did that [04:49] dr_willis: I mean how should I run it, because I have installed it before. [04:49] phunyguy: It is pretty shorter than windows unfortunately. [04:49] mojtaba, then that is your issue most likely [04:49] 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 [04:50] unless you got some wonky dual-gpu video card setup... then well.. I dont use those. [04:50] mojtaba, please pastebin the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [04:50] sounds more like an apci/powersaveing/bios bug [04:50] 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] that is my thought dr_willis [04:50] What java package should I install? [04:50] !java | Senjai [04:50] 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] Senjai: whatever one you want/need. ;) [04:50] phunyguy: ok [04:51] my computer was windows vista till they completly got rid of it so i dont have acess to it [04:52] Guest65873, to make it easier to identify you, please change your nick with the /nick command (/nick newnickname) [04:52] Guest65873: Then most likely you are going to need to download the 32bit Ubuntu Live Disk Installer. That really should work anyways. [04:52] phunyguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1606897/ [04:52] there are 11 folks in here with the Guest##### username [04:53] thank you dr_willis [04:53] mojtaba, you have one core that is running at full tilt [04:53] do you have a process that is spiking the CPU on you? [04:53] so help me do that [04:53] phunyguy: what do you mean by spiking? [04:53] using 100% [04:54] and i dont know how to change my name [04:54] !nick [04:54] 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] Guest65873: Type "/nick yournicknamehere" without the quotes. [04:54] Guest65873, to make it easier to identify you, please change your nick with the /nick command (/nick newnickname) [04:54] hmmm.... use that /nick command === geudrik is now known as geudrik|AFK [04:54] phunyguy: At the moment I am running virtual machine [04:55] use /nick Bill_Gates :) [04:55] mojtaba, Windows VM? [04:55] VB [04:55] Is there Windows VM available for linux? [04:55] mojtaba, is it Windows in VB [04:55] phunyguy: yes [04:55] !vbox | mojtaba [04:55] 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 . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [04:55] hi all, is there a way to make 100% volume be able to go up above 100% without going into the sound manager? [04:56] mojtaba, then that may be what is hitting your CPU hard [04:56] (make 100% act like 120% or something) === f is now known as xb3 [04:56] try shutting down the VM for a while to see if it cools down. [04:56] i have some nice headphones that really need an amp but i don't want to spring for one right now [04:56] phunyguy: ok, meanwhile how can I update my BIOS? [04:56] mojtaba, that may be beyond the scope of this channel, try in ##hardware [04:57] 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] CalicoJack, you will just need to add a grub entry for the Windows install [04:57] CalicoJack, you'd need to update grub for it to see any changes [04:57] okay i have my lamp install started but when i go to the broswer and hit localhost/xampp [04:57] i get nothing [04:57] it doesn't have a page === VD is now known as Guest33415 [04:57] 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] 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 [04:58] mojtaba, again, that is beyond the scope of this channel [04:58] setting upa mailserver turned out to be a sucky idea [04:58] cfhowlett is that something i can do from the command line? something easy? [04:58] the vendor will provide a CD ISO or the like to boot from/ [04:58] but you need to contact the laptop maker for that [04:58] CalicoJack, sudo-update grub is the command iirc. [04:58] !grub|CalicoJack, [04:58] 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) [04:59] cfhowlett nice thank you [04:59] CalicoJack, have fun, be safe [04:59] Guest65873: when in doubt use the 32bit desktop version - it should run on the most hardware [04:59] mojtaba, did the laptop cool down? [04:59] phunyguy: I closed the VB, but still the fan is working with max speed. [04:59] phunyguy: no. :( [04:59] Guest65873: Go to the Ubuntu Download Desktop page and make sure the 32bit installer is selected... then click on Get Ubuntu 12.10 button. [05:00] Guest65873: 12.04 32bit would be the safest bet. [05:00] please paste your cat /proc/cpuinfo again to see what it looks like [05:00] if you got older hardware. [05:00] phunyguy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1606915/ [05:01] oh god i really need help now [05:01] i love doing this stuff but i hate doing it when i dont know what im doing [05:01] hmmm give it a few more moments mojtaba [05:01] phunyguy: ok [05:01] is this a fairly new laptop/ [05:01] ? [05:02] phunyguy: Actually It is Dell Studio 1555 [05:02] phunyguy: I guess 2 years old [05:02] hmmm... and you get nothing for ATI restricted drivers... [05:02] phunyguy: no [05:03] phunyguy: how can I check that again? [05:03] mojtaba, do you know how to disable the ATI video in the bios? [05:03] and use onboard? [05:03] Hi ubuntu? [05:03] I'm curious to see if it does the same thing then [05:03] Hi Harlingen [05:03] 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] Harlingen, greetings [05:03] Hi phunyguy [05:03] then I end up with the file ubuntutest in /tmp [05:03] Hello Cfhowlett [05:04] phunyguy: actually I have not seen such possibility in BIOS [05:04] I'm installing ubuntu desktop at the moment. [05:04] if I had the line: su -m tomcat7 -c "exec touch /tmp/tomcat7test", I don't, any idea why ? [05:04] It seems to be a .zip file. [05:04] I'd like to burn it to a DVD. [05:04] So that I may make it bootable for CD-ROM on this blank laptop. [05:04] Harlingen, then open the iso you downloaded with burning software and not an archive app [05:04] !unetbootin|Harlingen, [05:04] 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] what am i suppose to look for when i go to the page because their is alot of diffrent kinds [05:05] Thanks [05:05] cfhowlett, he wants to burn, not USB [05:05] Okay, like nero correct? [05:05] 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] can you copy a link where i can just click [05:05] Harlingen, are you in Windows? [05:05] * cfhowlett facesmack into the window [05:05] phunyguy: How can I do that? [05:05] mojtaba, do what? [05:05] At this moment phuny? Yes my Step brother wants ubuntu on his laptop that apparently has a already reformatted partition. [05:05] Guest65873: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [05:06] Harlingen, then learn how to burn an ISO [05:06] phunyguy: phunyguy: mojtaba, do you know how to disable the ATI video in the bios? [05:06] It's a blank Laptop with no OS on it currently. [05:06] I'm guessing it'd be easier using usb? [05:06] mojtaba, that would be laptop specific, I was just curious if you knew about the option [05:06] if you have windows7 all you have to do to burn an .ISO is double click to open it then click burn [05:06] I have a 4gb usb here. [05:06] Would that work easier? [05:06] Harlingen, forgive me for previous bad intel. [05:06] phunyguy: I have not seen such possibility in the BIOS. [05:07] Queen`Bee, not necessarily, the file-associations could be changed with something like winrar [05:07] It's okay I understand how it's like having a noob ask retarded questions. [05:07] I'm just trying to my best not to annoy you fine gents. [05:07] please help.. i just want my server back [05:07] phunyguy: Do you know something I could do? [05:07] 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] Hmm.. [05:08] mojtaba, unfortunately no. [05:08] winrar doesnt associate to .iso by default. thats something a user would do, [05:08] phunyguy: actually at the moment just I have terminal and pidgin running, but the fan is blowing up. [05:08] Harlingen, or make a boot USB ... [05:08] Queen`Bee, yes it does. Fact. [05:08] Thank you cfhowlett. [05:08] That would be much easier I assume. [05:08] Third party program would be requried to do so right? [05:08] Does anybody know what should I do to cool down my laptop? [05:08] since what version? winrar leaves that checkbox unchecked last i installed [05:08] !unetbootin | Harlingen [05:08] 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 [05:08] Harlingen, yes, unetbootin is a fine example [05:09] ok i am their now what should i pick [05:09] Queen`Bee, don't know, but its been a while. He may have an old version [05:09] it never did [05:09] open with or save file [05:09] Guest65873: The one that says (reccommended) [05:09] save [05:09] and even if not, a simple "select all" would do it [05:09] 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] ...

[05:10] Queen bee? [05:10] Lili seems pretty cool. [05:10] lili is the best [05:11] Awesome [05:11] So I download ubuntu then I use lili to put the file unto is to use as " Bootable usb " [05:11] yes [05:11] simple [05:11] I have a 4gb usb stick is that enough? [05:11] yes [05:12] Beautiful. [05:12] Thanks guys [05:12] You all rock. [05:12] Also, winXP and ubuntu... [05:13] Should I make the switch coming from an HP Mini? [05:13] thats not something i can answer for you [05:13] Harlingen, depends on your needs [05:13] as far as security is concerned, XP is dead your better off with any linux [05:13] I see [05:13] Harlingen, for a mini? try lubuntu or xubuntu. both are optimized for low spec and older machines. [05:14] Nice [05:14] Xubuntu would probably be ideal [05:14] xubuntu is my fav [05:14] Yea, Its been using winXP for 3years. [05:14] xubuntu is the foundation for ubuntustudio [05:14] I love it but for some reason it's hell booting up you know? [05:14] Ubuntu Studio is actually better but requires more hard drive space [05:14] Lol [05:15] 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] but a simple series of ps -e | grep "thing i need" worked fine [05:15] btw Queen`Bee, I am installing wine to test your theory on winrar ;) [05:16] ok so now what do i do [05:16] i've been using winrar since the 90s and .iso has never been checked by default [05:16] we will see. [05:17] I still love winXP. [05:17] :P [05:17] i loved it since its beta days but going back to it... its like going back to WinME [05:17] Really? [05:18] Guest65873: Did you download the ISO? [05:18] I've seen programs for Ubuntu the only thing that turned me off was it had an " App Store " [05:18] You also had to use " Wine " for windows programs. [05:18] Which is fine I know thats not it's intended purpose. [05:18] I just really wish I knew what the OS was for.. mainly. [05:18] if you use any desktop manager becides the default one called "unity" that amazon stuff is not present [05:19] i belive so [05:19] oh the software center [05:19] I mean... [05:19] well the software center (or app store) makes things A LOT easier [05:19] Guest65873: And you are currently using Windows Vista? [05:19] Windows is for hackers and is easily hacked into etc. [05:20] iOS is for people who just want to chill out or something. [05:20] i wish i was [05:20] Lets keep this on-topic [05:20] !ot please [05:20] I'm I off topic? [05:20] yes [05:20] Sorry, I just want to know the difference between the 3. [05:21] Sparking up conversation thats all. [05:21] Harlingen, best we have that talk in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel please [05:21] * Queen`Bee invites to Harlingen #ubuntu-offtopic [05:21] I think I've over stayed my welcome. [05:21] Thanks guys for the help [05:22] Queen`Bee, I am afraid you are wrong [05:22] * Harlingen shakes Queen Bee's Hand. [05:22] :) [05:22] whiat version? [05:22] Guest65873: Okay, what OS are you currently using? [05:22] 4.11 [05:22] i guess i never made it that far [05:23] http://i.imgur.com/WfPnAkq.png [05:23] Queen`Bee, it has been like this for YEARS. [05:23] i believe ya [05:23] so that is why I said, it was something like WinRAR that is opening the ISO [05:24] ubuntu one [05:24] Guest65873: What kind of computer? [05:24] dell inspiron 1520 [05:25] it had windows vista [05:28] 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] Windows Vista :) [05:29] trage, ubuntu one is similar to dropbox not an OS [05:29] I used it before the beta's were out, when it was still called longhorn [05:29] cfhowlett: Thats what I thought. When i asked Guest65873 what OS they are currently running they told me Ubuntu One. I scratched my head. [05:30] trage, :_) [05:31] lol [05:31] :) [05:32] i am so lost what i want to do is just get my computer running [05:32] I was where you are now two days ago Guest65873 [05:32] Guest65873: try strapping it to a horse [05:32] when my copy of ubuntu 11.04 exploded [05:32] lol [05:33] :) [05:33] Guest it's not running? [05:33] 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] how are you here now [05:33] i will stumble if their is someone to pick me up [05:34] Guest65873: Good question. If it doesn't work, are you using a different computer to download? [05:34] is it very slow? [05:34] no i am on the one with all the problems [05:35] where do i go to download the iso can you copy the link for me [05:35] 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 " and you will be surprised what you can learn. [05:36] 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] ubuntu [05:37] Confused* Must be passed my bed time. Good luck. [05:37] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=latest&bits=32&distro=desktop&status=zeroc <- link for iso [05:38] i'm not sure if you can just go there like that but..

[05:48] 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] yeah phunyguy [05:49] [05:49] Guest65873 you want to download the 32bit .ISO [05:49] yes [05:49] Brewmaster619: that's weird [05:49] http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qcksrv.com%2Fsupport%2Fwww%2Fdelivery%2Fafr.php%3Fzoneid%3D35%26refresh%3D110%26cb%3D1359956956898%26beacon%3Da35aba04%26n%3Da56aab52&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US [05:50] i copy the link and pasted it into the search area on top of this page and nothing happen [05:50] jab416171, qckserv.com is the problem not ubuntu [05:50] I know [05:50] but my browser thinks qckserv has inserted content on ubuntu.com [05:50] Guest65873, did you hit ENTER?

[05:51] I am dumb but not that much [05:51] 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 [05:52] Brewmaster619, there it is... [05:53] fortunately ubuntu isn't blocked...I don't know why they would block Adobe. [05:53] 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?

[05:57] * phunyguy thinks google chrome is unsupported here [05:57] how can i reload my vista and get rid of ubuntu [05:57] there's still different browsers?!

[05:58] see the problem is i cant find my browser for some reason it is not on my list just this chat is their [05:59] jab416171, well then you get nothing :) [05:59] Guest65873, start browser from a terminal [05:59] nothing? lol [05:59] you mean no support? [05:59] definitely not for chrome on windows [05:59] * cfhowlett phunyguy, it's "You get NOTHING!" [05:59] nevermind just chrome [06:00] how do you get to the terminal [06:00] I wasn't really asking for support, was just puzzled why my browser started telling me ubuntu.com was malicious [06:00] Guest65873, are you in a ubuntu OS? [06:00] Guest65873: ctrl + alt + T [06:00] ok then type in what [06:00] Guest65873, firefox & [06:00] cfhowlett: i walked him through getting to the terminal almost 3 hours ago. Guest65873 is going in circles. === preee22 is now known as help === help is now known as joselon [06:01] Just remember, if someone tells you ctrl-alt-F1, that ctrl-alt-f7 gets you back :-) [06:01] i sure am [06:01] anonymousraptr, noted [06:01] her [06:01] Guest65873, your browser if probably firefox. type that in the terminal to start it. [06:01] Brewmaster619: you can also do chvt 7 [06:02] no it was google chrome [06:02] chvt 7? [06:02] "change to virtual terminal 7" [06:02] same as ctrl+alt+7 [06:02] thanks. learn something new every day [06:02] i did that [06:03] yeah, learned it from this post: http://superuser.com/questions/545329/blank-screen-if-kids-yell-too-much [06:03] then i type in firefox google and nothing happen [06:03] I've gotten stuck in tty1 before...took me a long time to figure out how to get out of it...easy when you know how. [06:03] Guest65873: are you connected to the internet? [06:03] Guest65873: you are not currently using the ubuntu operating system are you? [06:03] yes i am [06:03] yeah Brewmaster619 the first time I did it I was so confused [06:03] Guest65873, firefox google? of COURSE that won't work. NO such program. [06:03] cfhowlett: he typed in "google" into firefox [06:03] Guest65873, we are losing hope [06:03] 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)? [06:04] it looks that way [06:04] Guest65873: you cant be. google chrome is not loaded onto ubuntu. [06:04] Guest65873: in a terminal, type in "dig google.com" [06:04] I guess its going to cost me 100.00 to fix the computer [06:04] anonymousraptr, not by default. [06:04] Guest65873: what do you get? [06:05] 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.

[06:06] ok well that one worked dig google.com\ [06:06] My Unity isn't working either...had to change the login to Gnome [06:06] Guest65873: what was the output?

[06:17] Guest65873, good nighht [06:17] Queen`Bee: or use an alternate browser [06:17] Queen`Bee: or wget [06:17] Queen`Bee: he's been given options, he chooses not to listen [06:17] /headdesk [06:18] unity was too confusing to find firefox apparently and wget is scary and confusing if you dont know linux [06:18] scary? lol [06:18] and pressing ctrl+f2 and typing "firefox" is too difficult as well? [06:18] sorry, alt+f2 [06:18] 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] he left. [06:19] he did find xchat, though [06:19] heh [06:19] I think he hosed his video drivers, and that's why he couldn't find unity. [06:19] was he using xchat? [06:19] yes [06:20] are you sure? [06:20] that's not installed by default, right? [06:20] he'd have to made his name "guest" [06:20] no, his name was mike [06:20] nickserv made it guest [06:20] ah [06:21] i agree with however told him to take it to some one who knows what they are doing. [06:21] whoever* [06:22] being unable to navigate ubuntu.com is a sign they need more help than we can give [06:23] i think guest65873 was trolling [06:23] he had the right link; I went to it with my Chrome, and immediately started downloading the iso. [06:23] Brewmaster619: he found the link? or someone gave it to him? [06:23] Brewmaster619, same same and moving on ... [06:24] jawohl [06:24] cfhowlett: how long until you gave up?

[06:24] not bad [06:25] first time I ever had a computer with a blue ray player in it. I try to play the disc in VLC and I get the following: "" [06:25] Blu-Ray error: [06:25] Your system AACS decoding library does not work. Missing keys?

Will I find the answer at those links? What exactly should I look for there? [06:26] ClientAlive, at minimum, you'll want ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:26] ClientAlive: theres some extra stuff you got to instal is all i recall. [06:26] ok [06:26] I'll look at those links and fire up synaptic [06:26] thx :) [06:27] first google hit for 'ubuntu blueray' = http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/how-to-get-encrypted-blu-rays-working.html [06:27] thats using a special vlc ppa it seems.. [06:28] For Ubuntu 12.10 and newer, you only need to run the last command above [06:28] which says --> sudo apt-get install vlc libaacs0 libbluray-bdj libbluray1 [06:28] I've nevr had a bluray..maybe sometime. any troubel with tem, other than non-free formats? [06:29] we are not installing bluray players by default? [06:30] I can think of otehr defaults i need more then a BR player [06:31] blueray uses nonfree codec [06:31] libbluray1 is default [06:31] you can install non-free apps during install [06:33] what is SpaceFM? [06:33] !info spacefm [06:33] Package spacefm does not exist in quantal [06:33] dont sound familer to me [06:34] SpaceFM is a multi-panel tabbed file and desktop manager for Linux with built-in VFS, udev- or HAL-based device manager, [06:34] http://ignorantguru.github.com/spacefm/ [06:34] me neither but im reading an article that mentions it while talking about gtk3 [06:35] im reading one of his rants right now [06:35] http://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes/ [06:36] looks like a file manager that comes on the gparted live cd.. [06:36] 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] ah [06:36] is there a terminal that is transparent the way that the default term in backtrack 5 is transparent? [06:37] you can configure it to be tansparent [06:37] edit -> prefs -> appearance [06:37] most of the terminal apps can have a transparany option.. [06:37] compiz can make ANY window transparent.. ;) with the right plugin [06:37] 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. [06:38] Nothing to do with any backtrack 'features' '_ [06:38] anonymousraptr: i use gnome-terminal and i can change the setting for transparent [06:38] makara-, press alt+spacebar and select move [06:38] makara-: hold alt key. click anywhere. drag... [06:38] dr_willis, yes! [06:39] 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] both [06:39] you can move thingsd in the workspace switcher also [06:39] people over look that feature [06:39] i forget about it [06:39] dr_willis, I thought it was CTRL 'cause that's what Photoshop uses [06:40] never used photo shop... [06:40] great app [06:40] X has the alt-click to move feature.. its been a feaature for decades [06:40] I dont want or need photoshop.. ;P [06:40] haha [06:40] I dont want anything to do with adobe either. [06:41] hi everyone [06:41] ccwm is nice [06:41] very principled [06:41] blake, greetings [06:41] greetings.. ^_^ welcome me back after 5 years [06:42] i installed compiz-plugins and compiz-plugins-extra .. do i configure it thru the term or the ubuntu GUI?

[06:48] you could always use screen :) [06:48] is there a terminal that re-wraps the text when you resize it, like the mac terminal?

[06:49] what white space background? [06:49] with all these whites spaces, It hurts my eyes T_T and I don't want to use high contrast..is there alternative way? [06:50] like, opening a window, like say my folder, then on the background its all white.. [06:50] how do I change this? [06:50] do any of you know of a terminal that re-wraps the text when you resize it, like the mac terminal? [06:50] apperance? [06:50] jab416171: never seen one [06:51] dr_willis: have you seen the mac terminal? [06:51] that would be nice, but never seen one. [06:51] jab416171: years and years ago...

[06:58] *your [06:59] how do i get wine to automatically open .exe files on ubuntu 12.04? [07:00] if they are executable it should do that allready [07:00] that seems awfully dangerous to open .exe automatically [07:00] when you double click them [07:00] i find the idea nasty also. ;) [07:00] it opens with another program [07:00] what other program? [07:00] archive manager [07:00] theres a wine-preloader-app thats is ran [07:01] which archive manager? [07:01] Cub, not the best idea ... [07:01] i have to right click > and select open with wine loader [07:01] i wouls suggest sticking to the right-click to run... method... [07:01] Just Archive Manager for Gnome [07:01] that is teh safest way to do it [07:01] it can save you a lot of grief [07:01] are .exe files used on *nix anyways natively? [07:01] just curious [07:01] s/teh/the [07:02] Cub, not natively [07:02] 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] they can delete all your users files in their home.. which could include stuff in your dropbox and other online accounts.. [07:03] or infect stuff on them [07:03] system should be safe.. but your homework... not so much [07:03] that could go for nearly any program though right? [07:03] Cub, or infect your contact list ... [07:03] hmm okay yeah [07:03] Cub, definitely could infect your .pdf's [07:04] it could infect your Cat Pictures!

[07:10] fedor: you could at least give a small sumamry of the issue [07:10] 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] shoop: sitting idling in X11 here with irc going.. a few % points [07:10] well its at about 80% [07:10] 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... [07:11] shoop: use htop - see whats usong it all [07:11] its compiz [07:11] fedor: yep, flash and webcams seem tobe4 a common issue. [07:11] shoop: that is weird. What video chipset? [07:11] and java is at 25% [07:11] shoop: java? you got a browser open? [07:12] i have minecraft running and skype as well as this [07:12] well there ya go. [07:12] Minecraft is a hog. [07:12] but idle i still geet 80% [07:12] i was thinking about nvidia cards but then i saw that issue discussed and now i am thinking to deal with flash [07:12] shoop: what cpu is this? [07:12] skype is probably pretty hungry as well [07:12] amd radeon [07:12] skype is really low [07:12] shoop: more specific than that please [07:13] what can i type in to the terminal to find that out kinda new but kinda not [07:13] fedor: i find i have the best luck with nvidia cards that i find at the 'most power for the price' :) the last years cards that are being replaced by newer cards.. been out a while. been tested.. and are now decently priced === mysteriousdaren is now known as mysteriousdarren [07:13] htop shows all sorts of info shoop [07:13] shoop: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:14] what is fusion?

[07:14] top does as well [07:14] type 'top' in terminal, gives cpu usage etc [07:14] IIRC htop gives you more [07:14] but top works great [07:14] im too lazy to apt-get :\ [07:14] htop is worth dl'ing [07:15] just use top then?

[08:09] bazhang: yea I do. [08:09] N03L, then ask it [08:10] Is it ideal to use the actual linux terminal to write html? Or am I better off using something like notepad etc. [08:10] Just wondering if the former is possible. If so, how do I go about doing that? [08:10] N03L: use the editor which you can handle best [08:11] N03L: some are using an editor on the cli (vim, emacs), some are using an editor with a gui [08:11] N03L, matter of opinion. Use what works for you. [08:11] iceroot: Is it possible to just use the ubuntu terminal? [08:11] N03L: with a cli-based editor, yes of course [08:12] !editor | N03L [08:12] N03L: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [08:12] Ok cheers guys. [08:13] 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 [08:15] does anyone have experience here with snapraid?

[09:39] thx [09:40] we have config files throught the file system so i dont think the ones in /home is it [09:40] cfhowlett, procedure please [09:40] theadmin, http://www.pastebin.ca/2310564 [09:41] gnomefreak, and thus you have revealed the precise frontier of my ignorance ... [09:41] hi everyone [09:41] 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] vnc786, greetings [09:42] i don thtink there is an easy way if it is possible at all [09:42] 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] hi vnc786 [09:42] !dd|vnc786, [09:43] vnc786: save what you want on a usb stick than just transfer the files [09:43] Is there any way to the the return status of the first command in a pipe sequence in dash? [09:43] vnc786, if your old disc is damaged I'd take a look at gddrescue. dd stops on the first error; gddrescue not. [09:43] cfhowlett, sorry i meant the software update center settings [09:43] hillary, ah, so software sources and such??? [09:44] cfhowlett, exactly! [09:44] hillary, wait one, I've got the link to do it ... [09:44] 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] cfhowlett, ok [09:45] because OS takes 1/2 hour to boot [09:45] 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] vnc786: with that much im not sure [09:46] vnc786: install new system to new hdd, install old hdd to the computer and you can copy what you need from there [09:46] cfhowlett, Thanks let me read it [09:46] that sounds way too easy [09:46] vnc786, you might be better off just clean installing your system and take the failing HDD to a data recovery specialist...just sayin' [09:47] now that i can get behide but im going to guess it will not be cheap [09:48] cfhowlett: i can access my data using systemrescue cd :) [09:48] gnomefreak, depends on what needs to be save, innit? [09:49] 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] not that it will take a looooong time.. [09:49] note* [09:50] .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] (google didnt help) [09:50] dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda will this be ok or i have to add more parameters..? [09:50] cfhowlett, This is personal. Currently am reading for certification in linux. I have started reading on ubuntu then later to redhat.I wish to be RHCE(Redhat certified Engineer) could you be knowing good source of study materials? Or you have any advice for my career path? Our Kenya government is embracing open source softwares hence positioning my self. Thanks. [09:51] vnc786: if and of shouldn't be equal [09:51] 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] vnc786: you should set bs=yyM to speed it up a bit [09:52] 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] llutz: yes need some parameter help what shuld i keep like bs=???? [09:52] 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 [09:53] vnc786: bs=4M is a value giving reasonable speed here (while dd always will be slow) [09:53] why would dd always be slow? [09:53] it's one of the fastest writing methods as far as I know === bubulle_ is now known as leagris [09:54] dd is for exact copying it should be slower than others [09:56] 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? :) [09:57] 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. [09:58] cfhowlett, ok i will try ask [09:58] hillary, very best of luck to you. [09:58] 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. [09:59] wdp: thats what i meant... tried to simplify [10:00] 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 [10:01] vnc786, if your HDD won't even boot at the bios stage, gddrescuse won't fix it ... === railsraider_ is now known as railsraider [10:01] no no it's booting just it takes time... === nanun_ is now known as help [10:02] vnc786, [10:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery === help is now known as Guest75921 [10:02] "Imaging a damaged device, filesystem or drive" [10:03] vnc786, "http://www.kingletas.com/2012/07/restore-ubuntu-to-the-default-settings-without-re-installing-it.html" [10:03] vnc786, scratch that. === Guest75921 is now known as nanun [10:05] yes sure i will do little study on that and tommorow i will let u know ...thank u everyone..i was confident that i will get something new from u guys ...cheers..

[11:19] i have a program called a.out in a folder 0.1.3 [11:19] put the full path in it [11:19] if im in 0.1.3 i can just type ./a.out [11:19] when i try the full path i get Segmentation fault (core dumped) so i must be doing something wrong [11:20] i may be doing the path wrong so was wondering if someone can provide a sample of how it should look [11:20] Chiko, maybe it links to something in cd? [11:20] 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] 0.1.3/a.out [11:20] cd? [11:20] the program? [11:20] current directorty [11:20] ah [11:21] the program does access a file within its current directory [11:21] that _may_ be it? [11:21] but if the file didn't exist it would create it [11:22] and it also shows a message before reading any file so i would see that [11:22] Chiko, launch it with ldd or even strace maybe to see what is going on? [11:23] hmm [11:23] few /usr/lib/x64_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so files~ [11:24] those propably arent problems there [11:24] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=W0bkbWyk [11:26] yep it was that thanks [11:26] strace helped [11:26] try launching it with strace from different directory to see the last syscalls before it secfaults [11:26] fails on loading a file open("blah.txt", O_RDONLY); [11:27] so just need to figure out how to run the app but also tell it to use its current directory [11:28] simplest would be a shell wrapper like sh -c 'cd /to/whatever/place; a.out' [11:28] or any other wrapper eg [11:28] start-stop-daemon [11:29] you sir [11:29] are a king amongst men [11:29] thank you that works great [11:29] glad i could help [11:33] how to make subdomains like stuff.example.com on Ubuntu? [11:34] flcl: that's configuration you have to do with your webserver + dns server [11:34] 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] 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...

[11:46] the upside was that it was actually quite nice to work with once it ran... and subdomans etc was easy i even managed to hack its code to support SNI witch is kind of unique but usefull for a webhosting pannel [11:46] .

Tonnes of people install k3b for some reason [13:01] dr_willis, miranda, tortoise svn [13:01] ActionParsnip, Aware that they can but running of flash drive limited space ....okular required lots of added programs [13:01] Dr_willis put it togeather so i can paste it. [13:01] firefox and thunderbird seem to be 32 bit though [13:01] Something on my machine is sending emails, using SENDMAIL, how can I find out what initiates this process?

[13:03] so, apt-get install gnome-shell, will install gnome full desktop? [13:03] jimaji123: ok your OS is 64bit, run: sudo apt-get install wine and pastebin the whole output please [13:03] ActionParsnip: True story - however it also adds to the complixity of the system maintain :) [13:03] How do I install sun-java on ubuntu 12.10 ? [13:03] phoenixsampras: The session with Unity shell is a full Gnome desktop. Just has a different shell.

[13:20] ActionParsnip, jimaji123 : i _think_ "dpkg --add-architecture i386 ; apt-get update ; apt-get -y -f install" would add i368 arch and enable the installation of multiarch-support which would enable wine to install. but thats only a guess use at own risk [13:20] Like before i came here [13:20] thats definatly NOT a default/standard sources.list file [13:20] .Well, send me link were you downloaded ubuntu from [13:20] 12.04 or 12.10? jimaji123 [13:20] I downloaded ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com [13:20] day 2 on Ubuntu and I have to say <3 it, added in few keyboard shortcuts to help change between workstations <3 [13:20] I got 12.10 [13:21] jimaji123: you have done somthing to your sources.list or somthing did [13:21] jimaji123: sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_old; sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/quantalsources.list [13:21] country?

[14:11] 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] is there anyway to switch off brace {} matching in vim...? it slows my armbox down.. lags bad.. [14:13] renderer, means i can leave it running on my PC, ans send audio to it emotely from another device [14:13] ShapeShifter499: no idea. [14:13] kmc_ aaah ok like a service [14:13] Dave77: I'd ask in #vim [14:14] yeh I guess it could be a service but really, it should be something transient whioch advertises itself when it becomes available [14:14] TakeItEZ, ok well, other than that everything seems fine, hostapd (for my wifi router) and other services restarted just fine === neo is now known as Guest4426 [14:18] hello === ke5pcv-away is now known as ke5pcv [14:18] desktop folders do not open for 30 seconds in new ubuntu studio... anyone else get this prob?

[15:02] 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.

[15:05] 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] phet: numerous tools in the repos for that. [15:05] dr_willis: can you name a few? or how can I search them? [15:06] 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] phet: ffmpeg. mencoder, and the dozens of front ends to them. then you have the nonlinear video editor tools [15:06] :~$ apt-cache search video editor [15:06] i love windows [15:07] dr_willis: that defeats the plug-n-play purpse of upnp.

After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [15:23] No. This user connected to an IRC network I am staff on and abused on that network. I want get details on who was operating the Ubuntu Cloud account at that time. [15:24] therianthrope, that has nothing to do with this channel, or ubuntu support [15:24] therianthrope: You could try #canonical-sysadmin [15:24] how do I open port 5900 for use in vnc? [15:25] Is Canonical keylogging my instance, or monitoring my traffic?

[15:25] You can join us in IRC on irc.freenode.net, in the #ubuntu-cloud channel [15:25] Noriandir, whats closing the port? [15:26] therianthrope: What was it connecting too? If you read the server MOTD you'll notice that freenode runs a port scanner to find open proxies. [15:26] not sure. i've added it to the router port forwarding, and to iptables... [15:26] jpw: they're not talking about freenode [15:27] Hmm.. so you can lease a server on the cloud.. ;) I really dont use such things.. guess its similer to the amazon ec2 stuff? === fought`` is now known as fought [15:27] Pici: clearly im not with it today im off [15:27] compdoc, not sure. i've added it to the router port forwarding, and to iptables... [15:28] SoundConverter still not working for FLV's, right ? [15:28] 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] compdoc, i've tried vino and x11vncserver [15:29] well, ubuntu has no firewall out of the box [15:29] does it work locally? [15:29] 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] Hello can i get newbie help here? [15:30] you want help to be a newbie? [15:30] compdoc, yes. with both vino and x11vncserver. but not with other pc in the network [15:30] kmc__, neat its only 76 kb [15:31] 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 [15:32] 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] I believe the boot flagged 200mb partition is preventing me from accessing the data of said backup partiton [15:33] I cant access the drive either from windows or my usb ubuntu os [15:34] I believe the hdd was formatted via osX but i dont have any mac os`s around [15:34] MBR or GPT？ === markusCClassic is now known as C_Classic [15:34] Zirconi I think its gpt [15:35] Is there a way to check to be sure? [15:36] Salyangoz: The boot flag only affects how certain DOS systems see the partition. Deleting a partition does not affect access to other partitions on the drive. [15:36] maybe you should use UEFI to boot this HDD, I guess`` [15:37] SoundConverter time to finish starts incrementing till no stop... wow [15:37] anyone know a easy way I can get ubuntu running on a mac w/ bootcamp & windows on it [15:37] passion: in a vm perhaps [15:38] yeah thats what I was thinking [15:38] Hello everyone. I have lucid and I did a force fsck on reboot. Now for some reason it is performing disc check every time it starts. How do I disable that [15:38] hmm.. [15:38] !fsck [15:38] Hello, I was hoping somebody could help me. I searched on google but I can't find the awnser myself. When I open a .sh with a dubble click it just opens the terminal. 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] 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 [15:39] Sorry disconnected [15:39] karpuragauram: make sure theres no /forcefsck file perhaps? [15:39] 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 [15:40] Yes I did do forcefsck. Should I check in the home/ for it [15:40] karpuragauram: ext4? [15:41] Nope 3 [15:42] sooo, this ubuntu phone, is it on the market yet? [15:42] TomyLobo2: #ubuntu-phone [15:43] ubuntu coming out with all this stuff even running on android.. i can't believe they haven't developed a way to install on macs that isn't too technical like they did for windows [15:43] I have a couple of users that cannot logout. Nothing happens when they click logout ( they are using kde) [15:44] Hello, I was hoping somebody could help me. I searched on google but I can't find the awnser myself. When I open a .sh with a dubble click it just opens the terminal. 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?

[15:47] jhutchins_wk: yes it does [15:47] jhutchins_wk, #!/bin/sh [15:47] this isnt windows :) [15:47] Hey everyone [15:47] TomyLobo2: You are correct. [15:47] so Karpuragauram is also my nick [15:48] it just opens a new terminal whenever I double click [15:48] so I just wanted to ask , where should I look for the forcefsck fiel [15:48] Vivekananda: ls -l /forcefsck [15:48] It doesn't seem to want to run the script [15:48] entreri, you can move it with [alt] mouseclick anywhere in window to reach the edges [15:48] file on lucid?? It is like a hidden . file under home ? [15:49] ntr0py: nice, that solves my problem, thanks ! [15:49] TakeItEZ: Should I do sudo rm /forcefsck to stop the reboot checks or do I have to edit the /forcefsck file ? [15:50] Vivekananda: does it even exist? if it exists, remove it [15:50] it is an emty file too [15:50] Vivekananda: sure [15:50] Vivekananda: it should have been removed after fsck was done. [15:51] TakeItEZ: I see a file named forcefsck in the root / directory now [15:51] Vivekananda: sudo rm /forcefsck === jack is now known as wNz [15:53] !list [15:53] Vegeta85xyz: No warez here!

[15:54] how evil is a package that adds a file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d? [15:55] TomyLobo2: that has nothing to do with being evil. if you grab stuff from outside the repos, it tries to get updates via apt [15:56] devsys_, the bot was very likely assessing that vegeta guy's intentions correctly [15:56] by adding the repo [15:56] SAngeli: ntfs-3g is installed by default [15:56] !info ntfs-3g [15:56] ntfs-3g (source: ntfs-3g): read/write NTFS driver for FUSE.

[15:57] so does steam [15:57] TomyLobo2: add-apt-repository exists [15:57] SAngeli: no idea on that.. It should be installed allready [15:57] ok. I will look into this [15:58] sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g [15:58] and see. ;) [15:58] TakeItEZ, that adds to sources.list, no? [15:58] TomyLobo2: no it does not [15:59] TomyLobo2 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/STUFF [15:59] but the manpage says it does [15:59] TomyLobo2: either sources.list or sources.list.d according to man-page [15:59] these days you rarely see anything touching the actual sources.list [15:59] TakeItEZ, so it randomly picks? :) [15:59] except in badly done blogs. ;) and guides that are written by old timers. [16:00] 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] ppa entries are in sources.list.d [16:00] TomyLobo2: nope, ppas are created in sources.list.d, all other patterns in sources.list (as i read it) [16:00] yep. my repo is not a ppa [16:00] ergo it goes to sources.list [16:01] Vivekananda: Lubuntu is a light desktop good for lower end pcs./ [16:01] TomyLobo2: true, so forget about add-apt-repo, its crap [16:01] kmc__, there is also rygel for gnome in the repos works even nicer [16:01] so, .deb that adds it :P [16:01] dr_willis, I see what you mean.

I already know this is not so Ok to install NTFS under Linux [16:05] ntfs-3g is a package name and a specific command.. You are worrying too much [16:05] Any idea dr willis? [16:05] Bot2Help: Guys is there anyway to take drivers from backtrack to ubuntu? [16:05] 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] the ntfs-3g package adds support for ntfs under linux. ;) [16:05] someone good at ffmpeg? [16:05] Trying to remove okular "sudo apt-get remove --purge ~/path/to/okular"...getting E:couldn't find package [16:05] SAngeli: so mkfs.ntfs will format it to ntfs just fine. [16:05] SAngeli: you then MOUNT it with the ntfs-3g command [16:05] moes: apt-get expects a package name, not a path [16:05] moes: apt-get wants packagenames not pathes [16:06] Bot2Help, hi [16:06] ? [16:06] how to see the licence of a package with apt-get? [16:06] Bazhang I turn off bot [16:06] 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] !info ntfsprogs [16:06] 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] Hmm.. they have moved ntfsprogs to ntfs-3g ;) [16:07] dr_willis, and how about the mount line, I have to add into fstab? Currently I have "/dev/md0 /mnt/array_0 ext4 relatime,acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1" what sould it be? Perhaps like this? "/dev/md0 /mnt/array_0 ntfs-3g relatime,acl,errors=remount-ro 0 1" [16:07] Os is bt5r3 and lucid [16:07] jrib Thanks its removing now !!! [16:07] SAngeli: md0? You are using a array with ntfs? why [16:07] dr_willis, for RAID-1 using mdadm software-raid [16:08] SAngeli: never used that stuff. so no idea. You are planing on letting windows also see this raid eh? [16:09] 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] Vivekananda: it will update to ubuntu unless you also have the lubuntu packages installed as well.. it updates whatever you got installed. [16:09] one of the reasons lubuntu is lighter.. is its not using compiz... [16:10] 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] thats nothing to do with the desktop. ;) [16:10] SAngeli: good luck. ;) you are in an area ive never gone. [16:10] SAngeli: so you are going to use it as ntfs on a linux server... and share it to a windows box via samba? [16:11] does anybody know why in win7, i have to disable ipp to print to a shared ubuntu printer? [16:11] 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] hi to all [16:11] 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] Vivekananda: yes. but it will be easier to just install lubuntu-desktop later [16:11] SAngeli: it seems weird to convert it to ntfs just to share.. samba wont care... [16:11] need help with arm kernel compile ... [16:12] in fact samba may have issues with ntfs being shared. [16:12] 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] I recall having to twiddle with fstab options to mount a ntfs partion to share it once... been a while. [16:12] 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] you would think that the ipp settings in CUPS would play nice with anyone trying to use it. [16:12] it is gcc 4.3.3 [16:12] Vivekananda: compiz is a compositing window manager... Lubuntu uses openbox as its wndow manager. [16:13] 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] compiz is ONLY a window manager. [16:13] 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] jim8888: at least /etc/shadow holds the password-hashes [16:13] someone good at ffmpeg? [16:13] SAngeli: i dont know if switching to ntfs will help in any way.. and may cause more issues.. [16:14] dr_willis, I am testing so far [16:14] : how secure are the hashes? could someone decrypt them to cleartext? [16:14] i have a ntfs volume shared through samba with no issues [16:14] SAngeli: could be you may nees some more of the advanced features of samba also. [16:14] jim8888: yes, if he has time and computerpower [16:14] samba will be translating permissions no matter what fs you use i imagine [16:15] 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] How can I adjust overscan on Ubuntu Server 12.04? [16:15] and doing other translations [16:15] dr_willis, will see. I can always switch back to ext4 at anytime. How abotu the fstab line? Any help? [16:15] Vivekananda: the desktop dosent matter [16:15] : with rainbow tables and brute force cracking? [16:15] SAngeli: i just follow the examples at the ntfs-3g homepage. [16:15] ok [16:15] jim8888: just a matter of time and/or computerpower [16:15] SAngeli: the fact you want to share it.. will mean you may need to set up specific permissions/options also [16:16] : ok i will exclude that file from my backups! [16:16] dr_willis, yes all these done via Samba [16:16] dr_willis, the official homepage for linux would be? [16:16] ive only setup my ntfs to be shared vis samba as guest acconts [16:16] SAngeli: the ntfs-3g homepage.. [16:17] I do not find it googling around. [16:17] 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] has examples and faqs and some good docs on ntfs [16:17] I get so many entries and do not know which one is it. I believe it should be this one: [16:17] Vivekananda: Puppylinux is a totally differnt disrto.. but it should be able to run the same apps [16:17] dr_willis, http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ [16:18] Vivekananda: all the *buntus are the same core OS . with differnt desktops and some other changes. [16:18] Test [16:18] Vivekananda: Puppylinux is perhaps the weirdest of all Linux Disrtos in existance. ;P [16:18] 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? [16:19] dr_willis: when you say "different desktops with some changes" what are those differences and changes between L and gnome ?? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [16:19] and why is puppy weird :) [16:19] Vivekananda: see the LXdE homepage to see wht features lxde has === Guest53368 is now known as pabst^ [16:20] Start usiing puppy... and get into it.. then go use any other disrto and you will see [16:20] Only disrto ive seen that comes close to Puppys 'uniqueness' is Tiny Core Linux. [16:21] I really like them, but they trade off performance for less ram/cpu usage [16:21] A bit too hardcore [16:21] and Puppy is a feral mongral with Rabies compared to Tiny Core. [16:21] But that is the goal after all === ganiutomo is now known as g4man [16:25] 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. [16:26] pranavk: something like: find /path -type f -exec chmod -x {} \; [16:26] pranavk: find /path -type f|xargs chmod -x [16:26] Pici: You gotta escape the {}, too. [16:27] Pici: Ah, my bad, it's zsh being all featureful :D [16:28] pranavk, i believe you can strip permissions of just files with #chmod -x /some/dir/to/strip/*.* [16:29] can i build ubuntu packages on a debian machine? === DejaVu1 is now known as DejaVu === Catbuntu is now known as Meredith [16:31] tomylobo: no [16:31] danman1453: *.* won't match filenames without extension (and its not recursive) === adiaswin is now known as tomywin [16:32] i thought the problem was it was being recursive... [16:32] tomywin, have you tried? [16:33] would chmod -R -x /some/dir/* work? [16:33] danman1453: no [16:33] danman1453: That'd do it with directories too. === nick__ is now known as Netbus [16:33] no [16:33] ah.... [16:34] just not the working directory [16:34] ? [16:34] tomywin, then how do you know? [16:34] chmod -R -x /path && chmod -R +X path/ should do, but i'd prefer find/xargs [16:35] i have no experience with the find... [16:35] how does it compare? [16:35] danman1453: find /some/dir/* -type f -exec chmod -x '{}' \; [16:35] you're in luck, there's an enormous wealth of documentation! [16:35] man find [16:35] danman1453: find /path -type f|xargs chmod -x [16:36] danman1453: you just search files and chmod them [16:36] so, using the find, then add the chmod permission changes to just the results? [16:36] yes [16:36] packages are the newest ubuntu and debian does not install due consseque [16:36] lack of dependencies [16:36] and from what I know you could only do it if you are using debian testing [16:37] danman1453: Both versions (mine and what TakeItEZ suggested) will strip executable bits from files only, recursively. [16:37] hmmm.... i will have to try it out [16:37] and soryy my bad english [16:37] im using google translate [16:37] tomywin: Would #ubuntu-br be more helpful? [16:38] 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] still works with files with no extensions? [16:38] danman1453: a file is a file [16:38] danman1453: extensions are for humans [16:38] silly rabbit. :) [16:38] I've been trying for over a week now to get Ubuntu installed on a laptop with UEFI boot. I've followed this guide, but Ubuntu just won't boot. I get the UEFI grub menu, but then it hangs after that. Any suggestions? [16:39] I know ubuntu but it a real mess [16:39] The guide I've followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [16:39] !uefi | tchaffee [16:39] 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] brilliant MonkeyDust lol [16:39] <_methods> tchaffee: what kind of laptop? [16:39] 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. [16:40] ubottu should really just scrape all chat data, and chime in when it finds something in its database [16:40] ejv: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:40] has anyone had an issue with installing ubuntu on a raid1? [16:40] I was already banned from it for nothing [16:41] theadmin: yes and thats why extensions are for humans who think they need shelscript named .sh or a text .txt [16:41] _methods: It's a Toshiba P845t. [16:41] 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] It installs fine and then after it restarts it just hangs after the asus splashscreen with a blinking - [16:41] TakeItEZ: Those... "humans" have another name which I'd rather not pronounce here. [16:41] danman1453: man find (-name '*.txt' [16:41] dromios: Grub did not install correctly. [16:42] ok [16:42] thanks for the correction to my methods... it does seem easier than chmod'ing each and every directory/file. [16:42] dromios: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [16:42] it's hardware [16:44] TakeItEZ, neat. [16:44] 110 [16:44] . [16:44] jhutchins_wk it's a hardware raid but I don't get prompted for any special drivers during the installation [16:44] danman1453: read the man-page or some tutorials about gnu-find, it is a handy tool [16:45] Wie kann ich die Themen in Xubuntu 'ndern_ [16:45] TakeItEZ, will do. like i said, never used it before.

I'm trying to install this program, Unetbootin/494 on Linux, I marked it as executable but it still won't install [18:38] 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) [18:39] is there a way to reset my openssh server config files to default in the /etc/ssh ? [18:39] 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 [18:40] Yeah but that's a new version [18:40] I need v494 [18:40] Ramtron: Oh, why is that? [18:40] to supposrt NFTS files [18:40] I'm trying to make a bootable flash drive for windows 7 [18:40] Unless you have a better way [18:40] Ramtron: There's a better way for that. Please see http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html [18:41] Thanks I'll read that and come back [18:41] i would just use wine and the universal usb installer [18:42] it works for me perty well [18:42] eh i want the easiest way possible [18:42] i belive you can dd the windows iso for newer versions to usb and they will boot [18:42] I'll never use ubuntu again [18:42] go ask in #windows for the reccomend tools perhaps [18:42] dd? the only thing is I need an NFTS file [18:42] winUSB will work I'm sure [18:42] How can I get all the ATTRS displayed for a given device file? [18:42] No idea what you mean by a nfts file. [18:42] I'm sorry NFTS format [18:42] not file [18:43] Huh? [18:43] Ramtron: do you mean NTFS? And even then, what? [18:43] is there a way to reset my openssh server config files to default in the /etc/ssh [18:43] :) [18:43] Who knows what I mean hahah [18:43] to boot windows 7 from flash drive [18:43] shadoqflww, purge/reinstall the config files. [18:43] you still have to put the ISO on the usb [18:44] Ramtron, asking for Windows goals in a Linux channel is a bad idea. [18:44] Lol [18:44] Ramtron, mostly because lots of people don't even use Windows anymore. [18:44] I dunno how you guys can handle using ubuntu [18:44] if you mean you need for format the USB to be NTFS - thats not to hard to do [18:44] I find myself having so many problems [18:44] using the built in rdp in ubuntu 12.10, I keep getting this message from rdp client "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress" [18:44] Ramtron, Linux users want to use a real computer.

[18:46] as i said,.. you can use dd to put the iso file on the USB i belive.. and it will be a bootable windows installer.. but you may want to double check in #windows [18:46] in what way ramtron? [18:46] Ramtron, there is nothing wrong with ubuntu its great... its just the desktop environment that isnt the greatest [18:46] Ramtron, you can create swap files. [18:46] I like cinnamon [18:46] the kernel and apt are great [18:46] Ramtron, you don't need swap partitions. [18:46] Ramtron, but you already know everything, right?!! [18:46] how i can [18:46] eh not really, just some things [18:46] mail in ubuntu [18:47] i mostly hate ubuntu cause skype sucks on it [18:47] mail command line [18:47] Ramtron, please consider that you know absolutely nothing about computing before saying anything else.

[19:00] How do I disable automount of USB devices in Ubuntu 12.10? [19:01] jilebedev: I seem to recall that it helps if there is a drive on that port when the system boots so that the BIOS activates it. After that you can swap all you want. [19:01] jhutchins_wk: dmesg is filled with all kinds of spam - the new drive isn't mounted, partitioned, or formatted: you think it's safe to just unplug it, start following syslog, and then physically plug it in?

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.

[19:57] beatmasher, what ubuntu release? [19:57] 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] *ubuntu whoops [19:57] 10.10 [19:57] 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] !10.10 [19:57] 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] beatmasher, can you install anything>? that is an EOL release [19:58] 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] Ubuntu bug 1006776 in openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) "openjdk-6-jdk ssl negotiation incompatibility" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:58] traubisoda: Ah, that sounds rather familiar, it's a kernel power problem. Modify /etc/default/grub, add "reboot=bios" to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [19:58] Hi guys, [19:58] anybody using Plank? [19:58] theadmin: thanks, i'll try that right now [19:59] Hi there, is there any way I can use cpufreq-set during an Ubuntu 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. [19:59] traubisoda: Then you'll have to forcefully shutdown somehow (pull the plug), but "sudo sync" first, to avoid data loss. [19:59] traubisoda: After a reboot, it'll work fine, I hope. [19:59] it is a bug with ubiquity when i install with raid and encrypted home [19:59] is there a solution? [19:59] theadmin: i hope so too :) [20:00] may i download 12.04 again and try? maybe it has been solved [20:00] traubisoda: Oh, sorry, after editing the file you'll also need to "sudo update-grub" for the changes to be applied. [20:00] I keep forgetting that part... God, grub1 was easier [20:00] yeah:) [20:00] dr_willis,i cant download even hearts game [20:00] 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... === hybirdd_zzz is now known as hybirdd [20:01] beatmasher: 10.10 is not a supported Ubuntu release. The repositories have been closed off. [20:01] by the way... how do i tell ubuntu to install only frree software? [20:02] 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. [20:03] 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. [20:05] Is there anyone who can help with Plank dock?

What release of linux would be best for laptop with sempron 3100+ @1,8Ghz 1gb ram intel chipset graphics [20:09] so my computer is really jacked up now [20:09] somethin' little [20:09] 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] !dhcp | bizhanMona [20:09] 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] all i have is the xfce4-panel, [20:10] thats all that was in my script, so is that all thats going to start? [20:10] 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] ph1rmw4r3: why are you doing this if you have no idea what you are doing or trying to do [20:10] ikonia: thanks [20:11] all i wanted was xfce4-panel to auto start at login [20:11] bizhanMona: out of interest, why are you connected to the uplink port of a switch ? [20:11] so i made a script that starts it, and linked to it via ~/.profile [20:12] and now it works but nothing else works lol [20:12] theadmin, where is taht option? [20:12] Hi [20:13] hi === ferni_ is now known as ferni [20:13] 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] ikonia, where did i go wrong? [20:14] 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] hi all [20:14] i don't have the second option [20:14] Zentaur: Oh, then I guess booting in Free Software mode removes it from the installer. That's clever. [20:15] Wasn't aware of that [20:15] #xbuntu [20:15] :) thanks theadmin [20:15] you are great [20:15] maybe ubuntu is not for me i suppose yes? [20:16] ph1rmw4r3: what are you trying to do? [20:16] all i want is my panel to auto start on login [20:16] ph1rmw4r3: if you want to use xfce, install xubuntu? ;x [20:16] noo [20:16] all i want is the panel from it [20:16] and it works [20:17] so you have a script but it's not working? [20:17] but i have to start it manualy with the command xfce4-panel [20:17] did you chmod +x the script? [20:17] the script works [20:17] yeah i chmod 777 [20:17] but how to auto start? [20:17] that's not exactly the way to do that, but ok [20:18] what's the base distro? a standard ubuntu 12.10 ? [20:18] yesh [20:19] ph1rmw4r3: tried running the 'startup applications' program? [20:19] open the dash, type 'start' and it'll show up [20:19] daftykins, no where can i find that? [20:20] ph1rmw4r3: i just said [20:20] ph1rmw4r3: also: http://askubuntu.com/questions/159887/where-did-the-startup-applications-preferences-program-go [20:20] oh there is no dash [20:21] 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 [20:22] is there a command to open the start up apps [20:22] is there something for ubuntu 12.10 mysql in a ui (other than workbench)? [20:22] Hello I renamed a directory, and now Unity will not find any of the files in that folder, is there a command to make unity redo its index or something? [20:22] ph1rmw4r3: read that website. [20:22] phpmyadmin is great for sql admin === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [20:23] hmm in a ui would be nice [20:23] a program or such [20:23] not a webpage or in the terminal if possible [20:23] no its a web ui [20:23] its a web page but it is very nice [20:23] have you tried the MySQL workbench? [20:23] guideX: there's probably a channel for mysql. [20:24] yeah I don't really like the workbench [20:24] I can't figure out how to create a database or restore [20:24] i'm used to like sqlyog or ms management studio [20:24] i'm in mysql, but I can't remember the nickserv login command to identify myself heh [20:24] so I can't speak [20:25] it's like nickserv login user password right? [20:25] Hi all, How to use grep command to find a 'String' in a directory but also in sub directories? [20:25] if you feel adventurous you can use wine to get sqlyog [20:25] guideX: /msg nickserv hello [20:25] ug wine, I was hopeing for something native to avoid issues heh [20:25] Tanelt: "ls -r /path | grep -i " ? [20:26] Hi all [20:26] guideX: /msg nickserv identify i think [20:26] is there anything other CD burner for linux with the same feature as Brasero, like splitting one large file in multiple tracks? [20:26] correct daftykins [20:27] Thanks daftykins [20:27] djzn: xfburn and k3b are popular alternatives. [20:27] 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 [20:28] any ideas? [20:28] theadmin, K3B does not split audio, does it? [20:28] kike_: has it got multiple tracks, data and audio? [20:28] should have some kind of _ucking DRM isn't it? [20:28] Tanelt: grep -R [20:28] djzn: I am not sure, honestly. [20:28] no, just Data [20:28] Tanelt: no need to pointlessly pipe with ls [20:29] tqrst: my bad [20:29] the whole world will end now that one extra command got used :'( [20:29] ;) [20:29] kike_: i'd try and dd it to an image [20:29] 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] daftykins: and it will be all your fault :p [20:30] tqrst: that's some serious pressure [20:30] daftykins: piping is serious business [20:30] 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] if you use them all up, there won't be any left for anyone [20:30] sorry daftykins but i don't understand "dd" [20:30] kike_, you sure its a cd and not a dvd? [20:30] Thanks for the additional useful information tqrst [20:31] or it may be a dual-data optical disk. music and data [20:31] kike_: as in, the use of it? [20:31] yes, CD not DVD [20:31] kike_, so it is an audio cd? [20:31] no, it's only a data CD [20:31] djzn there's also this http://danilodellaquila.com/blog/how-to-split-an-audio-.flac-file-using-ubuntu-linux [20:31] then just copy the files from it to a directory. [20:31] just files inside [20:31] hey, so i just installed ubuntu 12.04 (Desktop) whats the best app to modify the appearance? and resize the launcher icons? [20:32] kike_: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/write/image.iso [20:32] unless its like a PC game... [20:32] kike_: where 'cdrom' is your optical device of course [20:32] it's a CD for kids [20:32] those wich comes with school books === Techi is now known as Arrick [20:32] a data cd,,, that does what.... its got programs on it you run on a windows machine? [20:32] daftykins, will give it a try thanks [20:33] 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] Dr_willis, yes, of course they are programs for windows, some kind of virtual book and utils === Ixateht_ is now known as Ixateht [20:33] kike_, then its possible theres also audio tracks on the cd the apps use. [20:33] that can confuse copy apps. [20:34] 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] dd should be able to copy it. unless its some really weird protection [20:34] Dr_willis, no, it's not possible. no audio tracks on this cd [20:34] let's go for dd [20:34] if theres no audio tracks.. then just copy the files to a directory. No need to image the whole disk [20:34] :) i'll be back asap [20:35] does anybody know how to update the installer while trying ubuntu? [20:35] making a 700mb image thats holding 20mb of a game.. :) is a little overkill [20:35] was thinking in make an image cause it's easier for me to move and/mount in the netbook [20:36] 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] djzn i know, that's what i said 'comes close to what you want to do' [20:36] 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] promts a weird error [20:37] "/media/kike/SANTILLANA"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: block device /dev/loop0p1 is write-protected, mounting read-only [20:37] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0p1" [20:37] to be more exactly... [20:37] kike_: i'd personally just mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/image.iso instead of using an archiving prog [20:38] !iso [20:38] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - 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] thats the generic 'mount failed' error message. [20:38] ^ that too, if you wanna have it actually work [20:39] * daftykins tips his hat to Dr_willis [20:39] MonkeyDust, I actually don't want to SPLIT the file... [20:39] MonkeyDust, I want to create a cuesheet that goes with it, so its burnable from the cue... === wesley is now known as whurdwfd [20:41] daftykins, your option for mounting says "Warning [...] seems to be read only" and doesn't mount it :( [20:42] kike_: see the ubottu message Dr_willis triggered after i said that [20:43] i see... basically the same witout ISO specs... let's try! [20:44] ok, just the same [20:44] moans it's read only? 0o [20:44] an iso file would get mounted read only,, yes === sergiugg is now known as sergiudd [20:45] didn't know it said that [20:46] Dr_willis, looks like it works! [20:47] so, the iso was made well [20:47] it's the mounter wich isn't working? [20:48] I can at least see the files, as it's a windows CD... let's see if Wine can open it! [20:49] Dr_willis, daftykins THANK YOU so much, help me a lot [20:49] kike_: np :) [20:50] i'll try your mentioned dd option too, just to see how it works (have to take a look at the man dd first:) [20:52] Hi, i just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and i want to move the menu bar down to the window borders instead of having them in the top bar. How would i do that? [20:53] any one know a way to do that? [20:54] Frojdholm: saw a tutorial to doing it in webupd8 a long time ago [20:54] xangua: ok i'll search their site [20:54] by the time 12.04 was released [20:55] Ok, one question daftykins , in order to make the dd, i need to know the dev for my cd-rw USB device [20:55] more /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info says something like sr0 [20:56] is /dev/sr0 my usb cd-rw unit? sounks weird, used to hdx and sdx ¿? [20:56] kike_: /dev/cdrom [20:56] kike_: unless you hvae multiple cdroms [20:56] kike_: "ls -l /dev/cd*" will probably say that it's cdrom0 / cdrom [20:57] anyone use drivers other then default for their broadcom NIC chipsets? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man4/bge.4freebsd.html [20:57] MAC os x tool GeekTool , alternative for ubuntu [20:57] is any [20:58] yes! lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 feb 4 21:24 /dev/cdrw -> sr0 [20:58] ?

[21:01] why is it so difficult for game dev to make their current games for ubuntu/linux? Is that all there is for 3D OpenGL?

[21:05] ejv: They should work faster ;) [21:05] kike_: thats more an issue with the amd legacy drivers than valve [21:05] yes, basically [21:05] I know :( [21:06] i can't understand why a 1GB DDR5 card is LEGACY. [21:06] but it's legacy in windows too and it works there as a charm [21:06] instead of complaining, do something about it, file a report [21:06] hate them all :) [21:07] aaa [21:07] ejv, i read a lot, there is one official workarround and they don't seem to be receptive to requests [21:07] should have to buy a new one [21:08] kike_: I was thinking about trying Steam soon... guess I should expect trouble with my 4870? [21:08] with propietary drivers YES [21:09] what's the package name of the default unity theme? [21:09] kike_: Is it just Steam that isn't behaving for you, or is the problem more general? [21:09] anyone seen a weird issue where the lock screen falsely gives invalid password? [21:10] 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] with the ones that comes with ubuntu worked, but too slow (in a phenom 2 x6 1045) [21:10] at least for me [21:10] not an expert as everyone can see :) [21:11] Well the whole point of the legacy driver update was to get better steam compatibility afaik [21:11] kunji, now with the legacy amd drivers installed through ppa (can't remember wich one) it's just steam [21:12] i have no other graphical problem, 3d is able even in vmware [21:12] enabled (excuse my english) [21:13] what's the package name of the default unity theme? [21:13] 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. === Guest69925 is now known as Juniper` [21:13] but you have to do it every time you want to play [21:15] bel3atar, Ambiance iirc [21:15] Hello - I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 and I don't see any support for L2TP/IPSec VPNs in the connection menu.

[21:30] chop: its not mounted permanently, its timeout based and when you want to reach the mount a new connection will be established [21:31] I have a problem with right click in Firefox. Whenever I right click in Firefox, the menu appears for a split second before disappearing again. Using KDE if it's relevant. [21:31] iceroot: oh, cool. thanks. [21:32] how to see the licence of a package with apt-get? [21:32] hello [21:32] anyone there [21:32] knoppix: /n [21:33] hello [21:34] hello monkey [21:34] <_helios_> Has anyone ever figured out what the .goutputstream-XLKJDKFJ is all about I have to do a rm .goutputstream* like twice a day now kinda annoying lol [21:34] um no clue [21:34] Ok, so I went ahead and turned on the ATI graphics and now I have no menus or icons. [21:34] try resetting it [21:35] it might help [21:35] anyone got info of doing dual boot on my android tablet? [21:36] im having issues trying to copy over knoppix 7.03 to my HDD and i am having issues with it [21:36] <_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] _helios_, Will it also disable the ATI driver? === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [21:37] <_helios_> dforthman: no it will just reset the gui without rebooting [21:37] I've restarted twice and the GUI still hasn't come back. [21:37] So it might be an incompatibility with my card. [21:37] _helios_, thanks, i keep this command for the future [21:38] dforthman, something like that happened to me... an i had to uninstall unity and gnome, and the i installed cynnamon [21:38] after that i installed gnome again [21:38] <_helios_> kike_: np I use it when my gui freezes on stuff [21:39] I'm just going to go back to the opensource driver haha [21:39] <_helios_> dforthman: good choice ;) [21:39] can anyone talk me how to write litle script for check is it samba server online and if it is to mount it ... ? [21:40] Ah, never mind, it seems to be one of the plugins causing this. [21:40] <_helios_> AHaKuH: I never had good luck with SAMBA so I use SSH [21:41] SSH ? is it better _helios_ [21:41] ? [21:41] somebody kicked me or just my wifi falled again? [21:41] how do I fix my theme ?? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/22/image1360010677216513.jpg/ [21:41] <_helios_> AHaKuH: It wont give you access through nautilus like samba but you can do secure transfers and remote connect etc. [21:42] _helios_: i see but the smb server is at my local net so i do not need secure transfers [21:42] _helios_: i just want to check is it online and if it is to mount it ... [21:43] Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit crashes when installing and choosing encrypted /home [21:43] any idea how to solve it? [21:43] hello [21:43] any hibernation involved? :) [21:43] <_helios_> Zentaur: have you tried without encryption? [21:44] yes, it works [21:44] but i need to encrypt it [21:45] <_helios_> Zentaur: why not use full disk encryption? [21:45] i need it to be easy, i'm not an expert ;) [21:46] <_helios_> Zentaur: full disk encryption is easy it's just a option you check when installing, I've got two machines full disk encrypted and it works good. [21:46] Can someone help me install wine so i can download games that are for windows? [21:47] <_helios_> jimaji123: You should beable to install it through the Ubuntu Software Center [21:48] When i try to install it, it gives me a error [21:48] jimaji123: not this again [21:48] jimaji123: how many times do you need this explaining to you [21:48] Ikonia, its not working at all anymore. [21:48] it won't work at all for what you want [21:48] this was explained to you in great detail less than 24 hours again [21:48] _helios how do i do that? is it thechackbox when you enter the user, pssw, machine name....? [21:49] Ikonia, this morning some other people were helpnig me [21:49] <_helios_> Zentaur: yes [21:49] They said that if i use wine, i get to install stuff that is for windwos. [21:49] Windows* [21:49] that doesn't change anythin [21:49] anything [21:49] it will not work [21:49] that's what crashes [21:49] Ikonia, then why did they say that wine will let me install stuff for windows. [21:49] 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. [21:50] Ikonia, your not helping me. [21:50] Your going over the stuff from yesterday, how about help me. [21:50] Im trying to install steam. [21:50] jimaji123: correct because your needs are not compatible with the current solution [21:50] Zentaur: for 12.04 you need to use the alternate iso, the option is not there in the desktop installer [21:50] And its not letting me. [21:50] jimaji123: you just said you where trying to install wine [21:50] ... [21:50] jimaji123: now you're trying to install steam less than 20 seconds later [21:50] Not anymore. [21:50] Ikonia. [21:50] Just help me install steam please, and stop being so rude. [21:50] jimaji123: this was half the prblem yesterday...you don't research/listen and just flit around every 20 seconds [21:50] jimaji123: I'm not being rude [21:51] mmm i'm afraid it is, well if we are talking of the same option [21:51] Ikonia. [21:51] So, am i suposed to use the ubuntu software center for everything i want to download? [21:51] Why is it so hard to switch between monitors unless you're streaking your mouse across the two at lightning speed? [21:51] jimaji123: correct [21:51] <_helios_> I'll be back [21:52] Okay. [21:52] Ikonia. [21:52] I will search for steam [21:52] jimaji123: and accept the limitations of the current platform [21:52] And ill tell you what happens when i try to install steam, okay? [21:52] jimaji123: steam is not ther [21:52] jimaji123: there was explained to you 10 times yesterday [21:52] jimaji123: it's a beta produt - you have the URL for how to install it [21:52] this was explained to you in great detail approxitmatly 10 times less than 24 hours agao [21:52] Ikonia. [21:52] So how else am i suposed to dl it. [21:53] Dont say anything mean just help. [21:53] I know its in beta for linux. [21:53] But how do i get it. [21:53] exactly as the URL says [21:53] as you've been told 10 times [21:53] READ the url then FOLLOW the instructions [21:53] just got here, whats in beta? [21:53] Ikonia. [21:53] jimaji123: I again strongly advise you to use windows to play windows games [21:53] jimaji123: some apps work with wine some don't, here is a list of known apps that do work ... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&sTitle=Browse%20Applications&sOrderBy=appName&bAscending=true [21:53] Im on steam website right now. [21:53] Zentaur: 12.10 encrypted home directory is different than full disk encryption. unless they changed the installer recently, 12.04 only shows the encrypted home directory option unless you use the alternate installer [21:54] Do you know any possibilities to not include the knife in the kitchetn. [21:54] Ikonia. [21:54] i'll try [21:54] iiulian: ? [21:54] ikonia, UPnP [21:55] anyway, the option for encrypting my home doesn't work [21:55] iiulian: what about it ? [21:55] there must be a workarround [21:55] Ikonia. [21:55] Im messaging you. [21:55] Zentaur: you've repeated this many times today [21:55] In the other tab [21:55] jimaji123: I don't want a message outside of this channel from you please. [21:55] Ok. [21:55] Well, since steam in is beta, cant i download it from the website? [21:56] jimaji123: you have the steam/valve linux URL [21:56] Zentaur: i've only used the full disk encryption, never used encrypted home so can't really help with that [21:56] No. [21:56] jimaji123: READ it [21:56] jimaji123: no what ? [21:56] Link me. [21:56] ok, i'll try full encryption :) [21:56] jimaji123: no, you gave it to me yesterday, so I know you have it [21:56] Was it this? http://store.steampowered.com/about/ [21:56] no [21:57] !steam |JZ| [21:57] JZ|: 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. [21:57] oops [21:57] jimaji123, http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Install+Steam+on+Ubuntu [21:57] runs the machine slower with that kind of encryption?

[21:58] getting the Steam client onto Linux with full functionality [21:58] steams linux list is empty anyone atm so dont go ape installing that [21:58] jimaji123, all you have to do is read and follow directions, which is the same exact thing you would do if someone were to spell it out for you here. [21:59] if my cmputer is stollen i don't want my informtion to be stollen too [21:59] Zentaur: what sort of information is that sensitive ? [21:59] this happened to a friend [21:59] jimaji123: /join #ubuntu-steam ... this isn't the proper channel for steam discussion [21:59] it is informtion sensitive enough not to say here ;) [22:00] But im having problems with installing stuff anywase. [22:00] I very much doubt that [22:00] jimaji123: no you are not [22:00] we went through this yesteday in great detail again [22:00] Ikonia yes i am. [22:00] When i download something for a website. [22:00] jimaji123: what can you not install ? [22:00] It opens the Archiv manager [22:00] jimaji123: it opens in archive manager and fails ? [22:00] Yes. [22:00] hello.....everyone [22:00] ikonia, I want to play music from Rhythmbox to my Samsung TV [22:01] I am not trolling dude im serious right now. [22:01] jimaji123: did I, I did I not explain this to you yesterday [22:01] I setup my 12.04 for RDP, but I got a Connection Refused message, can't get in. (port is correctly forwarding to my local IP) [22:01] When it opens the archive manager and it fails. [22:01] Then i cant get it. [22:01] ikonia, in my phone I can select the device where to output the music but I cannot from my PC [22:01] Why does it fail?? [22:01] ay ideas how to get rdp working from outside my network? [22:01] jimaji123: did I not explaint to you, you where trying to open non-archives in archive manager and you should download it to your hard disk ? [22:02] Okay ikonia [22:02] jimaji123: did that happen yes/no [22:02] When it installed it opens in the ubuntu software center [22:02] well deadweasel u prolly want to fwd ports on the active network u wanna rdp into [22:02] jimaji123: did that happen yes/no [22:02] And this part is the problem [22:02] Ikonia wait. [22:02] jimaji123: did that happen yes/no [22:02] moritz_89 === klaus__ is now known as moritz_89 [22:02] It opens in the ubuntu software center and i says " Wrong architecture i386 [22:02] jimaji123: did that happen yes/no [22:03] Caldrops: the ports are correctly forwarded, I was rdping into my win7 machine fine, then I switched to ubuntu, made sure IP was same, and can't get in after doing setup tasks. [22:03] Why does it say wrong architecture i386 ikonia. [22:03] jimaji123: did that happen yes/no [22:03] No. [22:05] Hello.. I have a clean and formatted usb drive, but my laptop says invalid system disk [22:06] just the iso is on the drive [22:06] No_One: Thats not a bootable USB drive. [22:07] No_One: How did you create the drive? [22:07] ? [22:07] No_One: Sorry. [22:07] ._. [22:08] No_One: The system is trying to boot from a disk that does not have a boot image. Where is the bios trying to boot from? What are you trying to do? [22:08] i need a wallpaper changer like it's build in windows 7 [22:08] for ubuntu [22:08] will it work if I compile a c++ binary on Ubuntu 12.10 and run it on 8.04 with 12.10's libstdc++ ? [22:08] hello [22:08] hello [22:09] where are you from? [22:09] hi [22:09] Saludos, alguien por aqui? [22:09] I start to love ubuntu....great os especially sequrity [22:09] jhutchins_wk, I have a usb flash drive cruzer micro, and I downloaded the iso to the flash/usb drive and tried restarting, going into boot menu and using the usb setting, and it spit out that it was an invalid disk [22:10] CVLC - how to increase the buffer size / caching time for streams? [22:10] English? or Spanish? [22:10] http://www.iloveubuntu.net/master-your-wallpapers-variety-and-slidewall-ubuntu-software-center NeoMatrix55 i use varietywhen i am bored :P [22:10] NeoMatrix55: the most important part is that it is free software (as in free speech) [22:10] I'm from Lithuania [22:10] !es > b0t [22:10] b0t, please see my private message [22:10] Ok [22:10] hello! it is possible to share user's home folder on separate partition with ubuntu? so I wanna mount this hdd to ubuntu as home and share same user folder between ubuntu and mac os === linuxthefish` is now known as linuxthefish [22:11] [23:08:41] will it work if I compile a c++ binary on Ubuntu 12.10 and run it on 8.04 with 12.10's libstdc++ ? [22:11] there's a term for what you will go through if you try that [22:11] library hell [22:11] I meant current home directory belongs to mac system [22:11] TomyLobo: That will most likely just break your 8.04, when you're going to use a newer libstdc++ [22:12] mechanism: I'm not aware of any problems with this. an nfs share? [22:12] no I mean if I just copy the single libstdc++.so and use LD_LOAD_LIBRARY [22:12] mechanism: that's commonly done [22:12] szx: Why dont you compile a static binary then? [22:12] so it's doable. thanx a lot [22:12] so i just got vhosts working on my Ubuntu server. although when i go to my server IP adress in a browser I get one of my folder sites. my default doesnt have a dir so I dont know why it would do that. I want to put a small admin page for it [22:13] My ubuntu is complaining on unmet dependencies for mysql-server, how do I make it ignore the error and remove the crap? [22:13] !who [22:13] 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 :) [22:13] I wasnt sure if ubuntu wanna deal with user home directory formatted in mac filesystem [22:13] jhutchins_wk, this is what it looks like in my drive [22:13] http://prntscr.com/rl4vj [22:13] anyone want to give me some pointers on using modprobe?? [22:14] mechanism: well as long as it's a shared folder you'll use nfs or samba as the protocol. Im honestly not sure wha the default fs of osx is but ubuntu wont care. you're talking about a network share right not dual boot? [22:14] i'm talking about dual boot [22:15] i 'upgraded' to 12.04...i don't always understand why items that used to work in previous versions don't work in newer versions === flavio is now known as Guest28684 [22:17] why isn't libavutil updated in Ubuntu's repos ? === Guest28684 is now known as Django [22:18] hi [22:18] anyway, i'm trying to get my wireless to stay working, i figured out how to disable a conflicting driver and use a working driver, stop and start networking to pick up the working driver, but i would like to make this a permanent change [22:18] anyone that wants to put input on my problem is free to help [22:19] should be easy for someone versed in modprobe i believe [22:19] 42 [22:20] scott_puopolo: Probably just put bad driver name in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and good module name in /etc/modules === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [22:23] is there a way to improve performance with ubuntu 12.10/unity? the animations are VERY slow [22:23] it's like watching paint dry [22:23] scott_puopolo: I'm not really familiar with using modprobe, but the man page looks helpful [22:23] sometimes I just reset the vm instead of waiting for the animations to finish [22:23] hey guys, i just installed steam and i want to uninstall it , so how can i uninstall [22:23] genii-around: what is the function of modprobe.d folder? [22:24] kunji: thanks for the tip, i have been reading it but i'm seeing redundant locations and wasn't sure which area to use [22:24] scott_puopolo: Wen te system detects hardware it goes there first to see if there are certain drivers over overs it sould load, or ones to blacklist if there is certain hardware combinations or quirks. [22:25] * genii-around smashes on his "H" key for a minute to loosen it up [22:25] guideX: virtual machine¿ why are you using unity on it¿ better try xfce or kde without efects [22:25] i'm trying to learn the hierarchy of which folders are looked at and in which order [22:25] but I wish to run unity... [22:25] scott_puopolo:modprobe.d has it's own manpage :P [22:25] isn't there a way to run it without the animations? [22:26] coucou :) [22:26] does anyone kunji, genii-around, know of a good reference for understanding which folders / files are read in what order? [22:27] scott_puopolo: Sorry, not offhand. [22:28] my hdmi suddenly stopped working. I am using the standard ubuntu 12.10 display manager with an intel i915 video card. Where can I start troubleshooting this? [22:28] it's not often that I come in here to ask questions. My php installation on my webserver is somehow setting it's path to just "/bin [22:28] " [22:29] any one have any ideas where this is set normally. [22:29] 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: php.ini ? [22:29] Can't seem to find it in there, ikonia [22:29] how can I turn on "universe" in 12.04? [22:30] julian-dephiki: php.ini or mods-available php5.conf [22:30] 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 [22:31] scott_puopolo: Seems like it will use all configuration files in modprobe.d, I don't think the order matters [22:31] j`ey, open software center and go to edit. Look for sources on that menu and left click it. You can choose what you want on the first tab [22:31] hi all, i have an .xsession-errors file in my home dir that is 238.9 GIGS! and rising [22:32] Ha! You're screwed. [22:32] Hope you have a back-up =P [22:32] O? [22:32] Oh look! There's a manpage for modprobe.d! [22:32] lol [22:32] ok, don't hate on me but i'm used to Haiku / BeOS method which uses a system hierarchy as the base and then uses whatever it uses under the /home/config as a supercede to the system config [22:32] i need a simple bash endless loop with 1 second delay - how would that look like? [22:32] nOStahl: you should read it and see why it's so big [22:32] hey guys does anyone have any idea why my microphone input is too quiet ? [22:33] raven_: look into "sleep" [22:33] I can't open a text file 239 gigs big [22:33] jrib, do you know the syntax for the loop function? [22:33] scott_puopolo: I doubt we will. What's the problem? [22:33] raven_: for i in 1 2 3; do echo $i; done [22:33] nOStahl: I think I would probably kill X, remove the file, then restart X and see what's populating it. [22:33] ran tail on it, PM Authentication deferred - ignoring client message [22:34] nOStahl: you can use head and tail to investigate the beginning and end of it [22:34] jrib 123? [22:34] is there anything i can do about it ? [22:34] raven_: whatever you want to loop over [22:34] oh, it's a bug [22:34] time to report that shit! [22:34] raven_: you can also use while... [22:34] !cli | raven_ [22:34] raven_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [22:34] Open it with "less" [22:34] Anybody recommend a encryption cli/gui for 12.04? [22:34] I need to import keys and whatnot [22:34] DeadWeasel: gpg? seahorse? [22:35] ss64.com/bash/ [22:35] i can read the manpages but i'm looking for the flow..which file(s) are read in which order? if there is a manpage or a web reference that documents this, just point me in that direction [22:35] scott_puopolo: what context? [22:35] sliva: Maybe, have you tried the stuff in the graphical mixer? Also have your tried alsamixer? [22:35] ss64.com/bash/ Might do the trick [22:36] kunji: just tried both :) [22:36] pulseaudio and alsamixer [22:36] nOStahl: Are you running vnc? [22:36] not really much better [22:36] yes === erika is now known as Guest31501 [22:36] scott_puopolo: Files in /lib/udev/rules.d are read and processed in numerical order. [22:36] jrib: hardware init, modprobe, overriding default system init behavior [22:36] The LibreOffice package in 12.04 LTS is 3.5.4.2. The LO QA team tells me that even 3.5.7 is EOL. Any idea on when we'll see a bump to 3.6? Are the maintainers waiting for 4.0 to drop? [22:37] genii-around: thank you for that [22:37] is there anything else worth trying ? [22:37] nOStahl: Something is not configured properly, or it may be a bug. Toss the message into google. [22:37] colonelqubit: I do not believe you will see a jump [22:37] k [22:37] ty [22:38] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/275998 [22:38] Ubuntu bug 275998 in alsa-lib (Fedora) "internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio" [Unknown,Won't fix] [22:38] looks to be a popular problem :) [22:38] scott_puopolo: You can do your own rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ as well [22:38] scott_puopolo: Generally files are either concatenated or parsed in the same order that the directory listing is read, which is alphabetical. It depends on what's reading them. Linus isn't one program that does things the same way all the time. [22:38] ikonia: That sounds crazy to me. 12.04 will have support for the next 5 years -- is it going to be stuck using the LO 3.5 branch the entire time? [22:38] colonelqubit: you can try the libre office ppa (on your own) if you wish to use a recent one [22:38] colonelqubit: I believe so yes [22:38] xangua: Sure, I'll do that. [22:39] xangua: So the official ubuntu policy is: If you want something newer that LO 3.5, you need to upgrade your distro? [22:39] !sru | colonelqubit [22:39] colonelqubit: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [22:39] I just want to know so I can tell users who ask LO for information [22:39] sliva: Hmm, anything after that starts to get kind of messy, but you could try. I haven't read it yet, but this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting#Line_Input.2BAC8-Microphone_Troubleshooting [22:41] ok all, not looking to be spoonfed, just looking for opinions on how it's normally done, hearing that it varies from distro to distro is 'disturbing' [22:41] jrib, do you know how to close cvlc on any error? because without closing cvlc the script does not make sense... :) [22:41] raven_: what are you trying to accomplish exactly? [22:42] xangua: How supported are the PPAs? (you break it, you get to keep both pieces?) [22:42] scott_puopolo: we don't know what "it" is in your sentence [22:42] colonelqubit: It might not use the 3.5 branch the whole time, it's pretty rare for them to do a major version update on a LTS release, but it is not entirely unheard of. [22:42] jrib: sorry, i was looking above for some help with the proper use of modprobe [22:43] scott_puopolo: Not from distro to distro as much as from daemon to daemon. [22:43] kunji: Given the development pace of LO, 3.5 is already pretty outdated [22:43] colonelqubit: ppa's are supported by the ones who maintain them [22:43] jrib, i need to record a stream using cvlc but sometimes the stream link disappears for 3 seconds. setting caching up and http-reconnect did not prevent the recording to stop so i at least try to restart the recording [22:43] can someone help me out with seahore-nautilus? i installed it but can't find the right key to import [22:43] scott_puopolo: Have you read the relevant man pages? [22:43] kunji: 4.0 fixes a lot of things in 3.5. In just 2 years, 3.5 will basically be a dinosaur [22:44] i have a wireless chipset that was working in previous versions but was not working in 12.04 [22:44] raven_: I'd ask the #vlc channel how to best approach that [22:44] I don't expect the LO QA team to do anything more than tag and file bugs for that branch [22:44] jrib, i do already [22:44] anybody know a good channel for helping with encryption? [22:44] DeadWeasel: #math? What is your actual question? [22:44] jhutchins_wk: that's just it, i'm not exactly sure where to modify so i'm not sure which to read; i did read modprobe.d, modprobe.conf [22:45] ubotu "ubuntu-desktop" === klaus__ is now known as moritz_89 [22:45] how do I do ubotu? [22:45] kunji: tnx i will give it a try [22:45] colonelqubit: Yeah, but the intent is for it to be super stable, so in a general sense even when the old version isn't as good, upgrading could break the workarounds that people have been using. I would indeed recommend not using the LTS release if you want more recent versions. [22:45] !ubotu [22:45] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [22:45] !ubotu ubuntu-desktop [22:45] ClientAlive: what do you want ot know [22:45] jrib - i created my keys, copied the entire folder output by pgp, now i'm trying to import into ubuntu. It doesn't seem to see what I want to import [22:45] " Sorry, I don't know anything about ubotu ubuntu-desktop" [22:46] colonelqubit: I can't speak on Ubuntu's official policy though, I, and most others in here, are just other users and are not representative of Ubuntu by and large. [22:46] DeadWeasel: what doesn't seem to see what you want to import? How are you trying exactly? [22:46] scott_puopolo: Basically either one can be used. modprobe.d exists so that packages can drop files there rather than trying to edit modprobe.conf. [22:46] ikonia: when I try to get rid of evince it tells me it has to also remove "ubuntu-desktop" <- this sounds bad to me but I really don't know what it is [22:46] !ubuntu-desktop | ClientAlive [22:46] ClientAlive: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [22:46] ClientAlive: it's a metapackage, it won't cause damage removing it, but I'd advise not removing it unless you have to [22:47] using ubuntus "Password and Keys" I went to File>import [22:47] jhutchins_wk: so these files are merged at startup? [22:47] So I have XChat installed, with the indicator plugin, and it seems to open a new xchat instance when I select it from there... is this STILL a bug? === grep is now known as Guest82074 [22:47] kunji: Okay, maybe I'll talk to the ubuntu guy who works on LO [22:47] anyone know what the private key is named by default? [22:47] !who | DeadWeasel [22:47] DeadWeasel: 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 :) [22:47] colonelqubit: Yeah, that would be good ^_^ [22:47] hi guys, i've installed 12.04 server on several mac mini core i7 late 2012's in the past few days…. trying the same today on a core i5 late 2012 is giving me issues…. it just goes into a "blinking" prompt after selecting the disc… and the efi boot just doesn't work at all [22:47] ikonia: is there any way to get rid of evince (preferrably entirely) that you would suggest? [22:47] anyone know any issues with that specific mac mini? [22:48] DeadWeasel: did you mean gpg when you said "pgp"? [22:48] !details | DeadWeasel [22:48] DeadWeasel: 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 ..." [22:48] yes [22:48] ClientAlive: why do you want to get rid of it [22:48] jrib yes [22:48] ikonia: That's really all I need to do (I use okular and I'm tired of fighting with ubu about default applications) [22:48] ClientAlive: remove it then [22:48] jrib i'm afraid I failed to get my private key [22:48] ikonia: but ubuntu-desktop. will I lose features if ubuntu-desktop goes? [22:49] jrib any idea what it might be called? [22:49] DeadWeasel: I don't know what the gui program expects but I believe your secret key is saved to ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg [22:49] ikonia: if I reinstall ubuntu-desktop will it bring evince back in with it? [22:49] ClientAlive: correct === andrew is now known as change [22:50] ikonia: to which of the 2 questions? [22:50] ikonia: both? [22:50] jrib, good, I have that. but "Passwords and Keys" in 12.04 LTS desktop doesn't see it when I navigate to the folder. [22:50] ClientAlive: if you re-install ubuntu-desktop it will re-install evince === change is now known as indyman1123 [22:50] is there a way I can ssh into the ubuntu box I have? it won't connect for some reason [22:50] I have no firewall or anything [22:50] guideX: ssh server running? [22:50] scott_puopolo: What are you actually trying to do? [22:50] I do not know, how do I check [22:50] DeadWeasel: I don't know what that program expects [22:51] ikonia: ok. so what does ubuntu-desktop bring in? What do I lose if I take that off the system? [22:51] it picks up .key and .asc mebbe i need to convert somehow? jrib [22:51] hello everybody [22:51] ClientAlive, nothing! [22:51] guideX: If you try telnetting to port 22 it should say something. [22:52] SonikkuAmerica: err... yeah, bs [22:52] !details | DeadWeasel [22:52] DeadWeasel, please see my private message [22:52] guideX: Did you install the ssh server? [22:52] SonikkuAmerica: sorry, but I call bs [22:52] I'll look it up [22:52] DeadWeasel: what does help → about say for the name of that program? I'll try to open it here [22:52] thx [22:52] I did not ddo anythign extra to get ssh running, I do not know how [22:52] 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] !ssh | guideX [22:52] 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] it's just so painfully slow, i'm looking for an alternate way to get to it [22:52] 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] works nicely :) [22:53] installing on the i5 now… i'll host it somewhere for everyone else [22:53] ClientAlive, good luck with the Google-fu, it'll confirm what I said. You don't lose a thing. :) [22:53] 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' [22:54] how to close cvlc on 404 error? [22:54] so no way to get ssh on it or [22:54] 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] guideX: did you read the guide that ubottu sent you? It tells you how to enable ssh access [22:55] lokl this guide is huge [22:56] 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] why must everything be so complex :( [22:56] 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] every time I need to do something there's another 10 page guide to read [22:57] 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] 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. [22:58] 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] guideX: what page are you reading exactly? [22:58] configuring [22:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring [22:59] guideX: why don't you start with the install instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html [22:59] ClientAlive, I was talking in terms of "it doesn't remove any packages that might already exist on the system." :) [23:01] jrib, genii-around, jhutchins_wk: thank you all for your help! [23:02] 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] ubuntu-desktop from particular application then can remove the app without effecting ubuntu-desktop. [23:02] 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] jroo: this channel is for ubuntu support, not sure what linux lite is [23:02] ok [23:03] 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. [23:05] 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] A metapackage is just a symbolic link to other packages (kind of like incorporations in Solaris) [23:06] And yes, don't hate on me for having used Solaris/OpenIndiana before. :) [23:06] SonikkuAmerica: oh, nevermind. I found something -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages [23:06] thank you sir [23:07] widad-charai: choufi ch7al ta3 lbachar lay7fed [23:08] everybody welcome widad-charai [23:08] 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] As in "removed from..." [23:09] That just means they dropped the rarian libraries from being a dependency for that package. [23:09] 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.

The compiz plugins that used to do it have been phased out. [23:35] 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? === _gcx is now known as gcx [23:38] . [23:39] hm. dunno roasted. but it probably uses inotify then. Maybe that'll help you find your thing. [23:40] jrib: lets say i wanted to go to the next line and write another word there too then? [23:40] Shaan: you can append to a file with: echo foobar >> file [23:41] oh perfect thank you [23:42] did ubuntu just change a bunch of stuff from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin? [23:43] pewter_tao: no. Apt should never be touching /usr/local/bin [23:44] tnx :) [23:45] Is there a way to run rsync as a daemon so it'll continually sync source to destination 247? [23:47] how do i apply the change after editing /var/spool/cron/crontabs/user manually? (not through crontab -e) [23:49] JPeterson: sudo service crontab restart [23:49] JPeterson: Edit with crontab -e. Not manually. [23:49] doesnt make a difference [23:49] What difference? You are doing things without defined behaviour. === zim is now known as Guest24662 [23:50] so your point is ignorance is bliss? [23:51] link me to your stack exchange account [23:52] gustav_: [23:52] one would think that crontab -e is easier... [23:52] why not use it? [23:53] 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] unless you are editing for a different user? [23:53] JPeterson: If you want to know how crontab works I suggest you look at the source. [23:53] good point, didnt think of that [23:53] *sigh* [23:53] gustav_: the link [23:53] Anyone have a decent partman recipe for small device (20G) vms [23:53] to your stack exchange account [23:53] ? === andersbr_ is now known as andersbr [23:54] 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? [23:55] gustav_: the link [23:55] gustav_: whats your top three reupations on stack exchange? [23:55] by site [23:55] JPeterson, this probably isn't the place for that [23:55] it is now because gustav has spoken [23:55] no it isn't. [23:56] if speaking its reasonable that there exist a way to determine of knowledge exist [23:56] 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] JPeterson: stop that. [23:56] capoderra, depends on the hardware [23:57] Nvidia GeForce m... i think 330 [23:57] it's uncalled for to ask for the http://askubuntu.com/ rating for a person that gives a retarded answer? [23:57] are you in LiveUSB now? [23:57] capoderra, ^^^ [23:57] yes [23:57] capoderra, 12.10? [23:57] it seems like that opinion would demand a reasoned discussion [23:57] JPeterson: yes it is. last time now: drop that and stick to the issue or leave the channel === Eth0Z_ is now known as Eth0Z [23:57] heya [23:57] 12.10 [23:57] JPeterson, it may, but this isn't the place for the discussion. [23:58] capoderra, go into software sources via the dash [23:58] done [23:58] then additional drivers tab [23:58] see if anything comes up for graphics. [23:59] Hmm? what additional drives tab? [23:59] 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
