| iFlip | specialpurpose im late in this convo but have you setup the interface config file? | 00:08 |
| zykotick9 | user01: #debian-offtopic didn't answer eh? ;) | 00:08 |
| user01 | nope! | 00:08 |

| specialpurpose | iFlip: I was wondering how to do this from the command line but if you know how using the interfaces config file that is a good start | 00:08 |

| nibbler | specialpurpose: did you get my solution? i was playing with my devices, so might have been actually disconnected while telling you how to do this | 00:12 |
| specialpurpose | nibbler: I did not. | 00:12 |
| nibbler | <nibbler> specialpurpose: just figured it out | 00:13 |
| nibbler | <nibbler> specialpurpose: first you create a virtual interface in bridge mode: 'ip link add link eth0 veth1 type bridge' - i believe this means its bound to eth0. certainly the name is veth1. then you add the eth0 to the just created bridge: 'brctl addif veth1 eth0' | 00:13 |
| nibbler | <nibbler> this results in two devices, both accessing the same media. i was able to dhclient both of them - they share one MAC, which is ok for a bridge... | 00:13 |
| nibbler | <nibbler> ...and in general: don't use ifconfig, and double-dont-use-it if you do heave networking stuff ;) | 00:13 |
| FloodBot1 | nibbler: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:13 |
| iFlip | it should look like this http://hpaste.org/82066 | 00:13 |
| Mathnerd314 | SonikkuAmerica: well, I should be able to at least play audio from the phone onto the computer, and that isn't working | 00:14 |
| iFlip | here's the full http://hpaste.org/82067 | 00:14 |
| iFlip | then type: sudo ifdown --- then --- sudo ifup | 00:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mathnerd314, yes, that should be a distinct possibility | 00:16 |
| dxm | xubuntu is amazing | 00:16 |
| nibbler | specialpurpose: tell me if it works... | 00:16 |
| specialpurpose | iFlip: your solution obtains a DHCP address for eth0. I need a static IP address assigned to eth0. I was attempting to obtain a dynamic IP address on eth0:N | 00:16 |
| specialpurpose | nibbler: attempting now -- if I am disconnected I will be back | 00:17 |
| iFlip | oh I thought you wanted dhcp | 00:17 |
| specialpurpose | iFlip: I want DHCP and static both using same physical device. | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mathnerd314, it should be able to connect manually as the computer being the audio sink... see if you can use blueman to send the audio to your computer speakers. | 00:18 |

| LVLAaron | how do I remove it? | 00:27 |

| _DomY-Dom | Hi, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Macbook Pro (8,1) following your tutorials and everything is fine apart from two things. The wireless connection works but browsing suddenly becomes really slow every now and then and I need to "Enable wireless" and disable it again; it's becoming really annoying and this isn't occuring with any other laptop & OS. Any idea what the problem is ? Secondly, the touchpad sensors are really messed up, it is far too sensitive, | 00:41 |
| Mini_anon | another way to put it SonikkuAmerica is: will a change of environment from unity to gnome could hinder the work of some programs that I already have? | 00:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, no chance at all of that! Both are GNOME 3-based shells. | 00:43 |
| Mini_anon | yay! | 00:43 |
| LVLAaron | histo, any ideas? | 00:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, if you're just wanting the DE, just [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ]. | 00:43 |
| Mini_anon | ok thanks | 00:44 |
| histo | LVLAaron: ideas forj? sorry I was away. I would black list the flashcache you where building when everything went south. | 00:44 |
| LVLAaron | I did. I get this: http://i.imgur.com/ii6JdhF.jpg | 00:44 |
| LVLAaron | can I remove /var/lib/dkms/flashcache ? | 00:44 |
| histo | LVLAaron: Well it's obviously not blacklisted | 00:45 |
| Mini_anon | by the way SonikkuAmerica : can you answer the first question like : how different are the admin privileges in ubuntu are from windows? | 00:45 |
| histo | LVLAaron: Also disable it for the volume if you set that up. | 00:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, it's kind of complicated how admin works in Windows. | 00:45 |
| _DomY-Dom | Hi, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Macbook Pro (8,1) following your tutorials and everything is fine apart from two things.

Any idea what the problem is ? Secondly, the touchpad sensors are really messed up, it is far too sensitive, | 00:46 |
| LVLAaron | histo, i have "blacklist flashcache" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 00:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, I'd say the "User Account Control" in Windows (Vista+) is similar to [ gksudo ] in Ubuntu. But typically, in any Linux distro, you never want to login as root unless you know what you're doing. Same with booting in "safe mode" with Windows and selecting login as "Administrator." | 00:47 |
| Mini_anon | SonikkuAmerica: from what i see, i did loose some of my privileges, as admin i cannot see the files of the other regular user, cannot see their weigth cannot delete them | 00:47 |
| Mini_anon | which i could do on windows | 00:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, just [ sudo ] or [ gksudo ] won't let you do that. | 00:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | But pure [ su ] might. | 00:49 |
| Mini_anon | :D | 00:49 |
| histo | !sudo | Mini_anon | 00:49 |
| ubottu | Mini_anon: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:49 |
| Mathnerd314 | SonikkuAmerica: I've been trying things; but there's nothing there in blueman besides "connect to audio source" | 00:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, of course you'd have to do [ sudo passwd root ] before you used [ su ] or else it won't work at all. | 00:49 |
| histo | SonikkuAmerica: NO | 00:50 |
| histo | Mini_anon: dont' do that | 00:50 |
| amiu | are you sure the device supports bluttoth beyond audio streaming? | 00:50 |
| histo | Mini_anon: sudo -i will give you a root console without passwd | 00:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I was just about to say NEVER DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. | 00:50 |
| histo | SonikkuAmerica: you can also sudo su and that works without passwd root. Users shouldn't be enabling root account. | 00:50 |
| Mini_anon | and i don`t know what i will do XD | 00:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And by KNOW I mean... well... my explanation is so graphical it's NSFW. | 00:51 |
| histo | Mini_anon: What are you trying to accomplish? | 00:51 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mathnerd314, I guess your phone just won't do that. It sounds weird, but I can't think of anything beyond that. | 00:52 |
| Mini_anon | i want to be able to see the file of the regular user while im on my admin user : be able to move them, delete them as i would in windows | 00:53 |
| LVLAaron | OK I can't do a blacklist because the module got built into the image, maybe.... | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | Mini_anon: unless they are in an encrypted home, you should be able to get to their stuff with a root shell. | 00:53 |
| Mini_anon | that what i want: histo SonikkuAmerica | 00:53 |
| Mathnerd314 | SonikkuAmerica: I'll also note that various programs (e.g. "gvfsd-obexftp") have been crashing randomly while I've been doing this, so it's probably not a well-tested area :p | 00:53 |
| dr_willis | bluetooth - has such potential.. and been so - well.. under whelming over the years | 00:54 |
| histo | Mini_anon: You can give yourself permissions to their home | 00:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, does [ sudo -i ] or [ sudo su ] work? | 00:54 |
| CavalierPrime | Mini-anon you can use gksudo nautilus to do all that | 00:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mini_anon, or, in histo's terms, use [ sudo chmod ] to mess with permission. | 00:55 |
| histo | SonikkuAmerica: either of those will give you a root shell | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | if the system is using an encrypted homes then root will only see the encrypted stuff. not the actual files. | 00:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | histo: right. | 00:55 |
| histo | Mini_anon: I think gksu nautilus would be the easiest way for you. | 00:55 |

| Malinuss | hello. So I installed ubunto using the "minimal ubuntu", after that I installed the network manager, and gnome. Still even after running the gnm, the window manager doesn't look like the standard ubuntu at all. How can that be? | 01:10 |
| histo | Malinuss: because ubuntu uses unity not gnome | 01:10 |
| Malinuss | histo, oh.. haha well that was a bummer.. facepalm | 01:11 |
| Malinuss | thanks | 01:11 |
| xangua | Malinuss: because you need to install ubuntu-desktop to get...well the whole and default ubuntu desktop | 01:11 |
| KrisB | Followed instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager to make Thunar to be the default file manager. After executing ./defaultthunar cp: cannot stat `nonautilusplease/nautilus-browser.desktop': No such file or directory. | 01:11 |
| Malinuss | xangua, yep I get it now, for some reason I was just sure ubuntu used gnome as the standard window manager, thanks.. | 01:11 |
| histo | Malinuss: You don't need to use the ubuntu-desktop meta package if you are trying to stay lean | 01:12 |
| xangua | Malinuss: ubuntu uses gnome indeed, but with unity as shell | 01:12 |
| histo | !unity | Malinuss | 01:13 |
| ubottu | Malinuss: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 01:13 |
| histo | Malinuss: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package that pulls all the other default apps. What exactly are you trying to accomplish. | 01:13 |
| Malinuss | well now I got confused. Sorry I'm very new to linux. I want a lean installation of ubuntu, that "looks" like the orginal ubuntu, just without all the extra software, histo | 01:14 |
| histo | Malinuss: Then install unity | 01:14 |
| Malinuss | just "install unity". so the unity-desktop would install the whole package? | 01:15 |
| histo | Malinuss: unity-desktop is probably another meta package. There is a unity package. | 01:15 |
| histo | Malinuss: I've never tried to do what you are trying to accomplish. | 01:15 |
| histo | Malinuss: If I wanted lean I'd avoid unity in the first place. | 01:15 |

| sirdotalus | anyway, i want to bring my ubuntu ack to ground zero is there any way to do that without having to download and re install the whole OS | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | sirdotalus: what all did you do to it? ;) | 01:23 |
| BlueNeXuS | I just started using docky instead of the other options.. so i am new to it.. but anyhow.. i just want to change some of dockys icons for the apps in it.. and i went through dockys settings but theres nothing there.. how do i change icons in docky to make a long story short | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | Given how you could hae done all sorts of wonkyness to a system.. theres no guaranteed way sirdotalus ... it just depends. | 01:23 |
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: histo made a GOOD point ...unity and lean are kinda conflicting terms :-) | 01:23 |
| xangua | BlueNeXuS: change your icon them, then docky will use them | 01:24 |
| Terabyte | hi, when I try to run wubi from windows 7, it doesn't run (the security dialog pops up as expected) but the process starts, and then promptly dies, with no visual cues, just task manager showing wubi.exe and then not showing it. | 01:24 |
| Malinuss | Tex_Nick, I'm open to sugestion for others, nice looking, and easy to use, windows managers :) | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | Malinuss: lubuntu | 01:24 |
| sirdotalus | didnt do much downloaded a few games from the software centre has some problems installing nethack (the game not a real hack) so i removed nethack, been having internal errors ever since. i havent had this computer but a couple weeks and ubuntu about that long(on this sytem) | 01:24 |
| pr1nt | _ | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | sirdotalus: use the terminal. see what sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get upgrade say about the systems package manager status | 01:25 |
| BlueNeXuS | okay, thank you zangua.. simple enough | 01:25 |
| === dirtypillows is now known as ShameSpiral | ||
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: what hardware platform are you using ... if your system is fast enough ... use unity ... otherwise people here can help you downscale to your needs | 01:26 |
| sirdotalus | ive run full updates and i still get the errors. i believe they lie within a missing package within /lib but i dont know which is missing/malfuntioning | 01:26 |
| Malinuss | Tex_Nick, well it's running on the acer aspire d255, but I want a as fast as possible experience. So it *can* run with the full ubuntu package, I just want something more lightweight | 01:27 |
| Terabyte | is there any proper support for wubi? | 01:27 |
| Terabyte | plenty of google results for my problem. no proper solutions | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | sirdotalus: pastebin the exact error messages.. | 01:28 |
| histo | Malinuss: I think you want a DE not a window manager | 01:28 |
| Malinuss | "DE"? | 01:28 |
| histo | Malinuss: Desktop environment | 01:28 |
| sirdotalus | dr willis. i was attempting to fix this issue earlier tonight using | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | a window manager is the foundation of your desktop. ;) | 01:28 |
| sirdotalus | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair | 01:28 |
| histo | Malinuss: Window managers just handle decorations and the way windows are drawn and where. | 01:28 |
| war59312 | why no usb mouse work.. ugh! drving me insane | 01:28 |
| sirdotalus | and it refuses to even download or install the boot repair packages | 01:28 |
| Malinuss | histo, and the DE? | 01:29 |
| sirdotalus | so i cant even get those packages installed | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | sirdotalus: do one command at a time.. look for error messages.. you missed a && in there also | 01:29 |
| histo | Malinuss: Check out xfce or lxde. If you want even lighter you can run just straight openbox or lookat tiling window managers that can hold up on their onw. | 01:29 |
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: i don't keep up with lappys much ... what cpu does that use & @ what speed ... how much memory | 01:30 |
| sirdotalus | ih/o let me run them again to regain the errors | 01:30 |
| Malinuss | histo, wait, so I don't even need a window manager? | 01:30 |
| === DeadWeasel is now known as Mongrel | ||
| amiu | the machine doesnt. do you? | 01:30 |
| histo | Malinuss: right you can run just X if you really wanted to. | 01:30 |
| histo | Malinuss: Google xubuntu or lubuntu xubuntu uses xfce lubuntu uses lxde. You can get an idea of what they look like. | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | you want to use a window manager.. :) the Lightest Full featured desktop will be Lubuntu which uses LXDE | 01:31 |
| Malinuss | histo, could you pleas take another minute to explain the difference between a window manager, and a desktop enviroment? | 01:31 |
| histo | Malinuss: dr_willis is correct. If want even leaner than that you would go with X and awesome or openbox. | 01:32 |
| Malinuss | I still don't get the difference | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | Malinuss: window manager = Foundation of the house | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | house = the desktop | 01:32 |
| iorweth | You can install the other desktops environments from the software manager. | 01:32 |
| melty | lol | 01:32 |
| histo | Malinuss: for instance I can run gnome with openbox or awesome as my window manager. | 01:32 |
| KxTwo | hmm anyone know of a channel that might be able to offer me insight on computer organization and design | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | http://xwinman.org/ guide to window managers and desktop environments for The X Window System, | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | KxTwo: thats 2 rather vague buzzwords... ;) | 01:33 |
| Malinuss | Tex_Nick, 1GB ram, and dual core 1.66Ghz | 01:33 |
| sirdotalus | ready for this dr willis? | 01:33 |
| sirdotalus | i just received this errpr | 01:33 |
| sirdotalus | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update | 01:33 |
| histo | Malinuss: You are asking for something that looks like ubuntu.... Well uubntu uses gnome with unity as the shell. But then you want lighter. unity is not very light because it uses a lot of compiz stuff. | 01:33 |

| dr_willis | KxTwo: for Hardware info - theres #hardware | 01:34 |
| histo | Malinuss: For your specs I think you would be more than happy with xubuntu | 01:34 |
| KxTwo | not sure hardware would take care of it | 01:34 |
| histo | Malinuss: if you don't want all the othe bloat that xubuntu-desktop brings in then just install xfce | 01:34 |

| === Mongrel is now known as DeadWeasel | ||
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: or cpu intensive games ? | 01:36 |
| Malinuss | histo, what is the window manager then? (just tryign to understand this) | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | Malinuss: the foundaton the rest of the desktop uses... | 01:36 |
| Malinuss | Tex_Nick, now, but I just want as fast multi-tasking (normally, browsing+music+notes+video) | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | the wm draws the windows borders... and a few other things | 01:36 |

| === ErtanERBEK is now known as Guest93320 | ||
| sirdotalus | then i dont understand what action youy are asking me to take | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | Malinuss: its trivial to have a dozen+ window managers and desktops | 01:38 |
| histo | Malinuss: Keep in mind that page has some really old screenshots but you will get the basic idea | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | sirdotalus: paste any error messages and logs to the pastebin sites.. do NOT flood the channel with 10+ line log/error messages | 01:38 |
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: looks to me like what you want to run just won't require that much computing power ... you might just install unity ... it's the latest eye-candy ...try it for a few days ... if it seems slow the downscale :-) | 01:40 |
| apokalypse | why doesn't unity sort your apps by category? then it might be useful | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | thers catatory listings in the dash i recalll.... | 01:40 |
| alcb | At 0:27 in this video (12.04) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGMZkC6Y5fE), he does a something to scale just the one application that has focus. Is that a separate compiz plugin than stock? | 01:40 |
| Malinuss | okay, so normally, a window manager is the program that displays all the windows, how they look etc... And a desktop environment is like this whole package, that includes a window manager, but also has a lot of other things (standard programs, browser etc.).. Right? | 01:41 |
| sirdotalus | you could have simply said that in the first place instead of saying pastebins three times in a row undefined | 01:41 |
| musafir2 | hi, I am currently on gnome and I wanted to install kde, will I get the last 4.10 kde ? im running the last version of ubuntu ? | 01:41 |
| xangua | alcb: the Scale plugin scales windows :) | 01:41 |
| histo | Malinuss: basically yes | 01:41 |
| histo | !info kde | musafir2 | 01:41 |
| ubottu | musafir2: Package kde does not exist in quantal | 01:41 |
| xangua | !latest | musafir2 | 01:42 |
| xangua | musafir2: most likely no | 01:42 |
| ubottu | musafir2: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | musafir2: theres some new ppas for the latest kde | 01:42 |
| iorweth | Have anyonet tried out ubuntu on nexus 7? | 01:42 |
| xangua | not the latest kde if that is what you ask musafir2 | 01:42 |

| musafir2 | aha thanks yes I found the back repo but I was thinking if there is any official, thanks a lot guys | 01:42 |
| xangua | !doesntwork | fbdystang | 01:42 |
| ubottu | fbdystang: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 01:42 |
| sirdotalus | already pasted to the paste bin, now may i ask if you have a clue whats happening? | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | musafir2: the webupd8 or omgubuntu site just had a posting on how to get the latest kde. and mentioned some potential issues | 01:43 |
| fbdystang | ouch. It ran fine until latest update. Now I get a blank screen here: http://www.break.com/index/the-most-brutal-soccer-foul-you-ll-ever-see-2413076 | 01:43 |

| Malinuss | one question about the unity/gnome. So right now, even though it looks like the orginal ubuntu, I don't have any of the icons on the left sides, how would I add those ? | 01:47 |
| xangua | Malinuss: did you install ubuntu-desktop ¿ | 01:48 |
| ahmedipa | how can I solve this problem ? | 01:48 |
| Malinuss | xangua, yeah | 01:48 |
| Malinuss | xangua, no wait, no... just unity-desktop. I think | 01:48 |
| xangua | there is no 'unity-desktop' package | 01:49 |

| ahmedipa | although ubuntu not stable , I love it | 01:50 |
| ahmedipa | I can not install ubuntu one | 01:51 |
| Tex_Nick | Malinuss: idon't want to confuse your issue, but the term "original ubuntu" original ubuntu goes back many years ;-) | 01:51 |
| xangua | Malinuss: if you can get to install a desktop from the minimal iso, i suggest you to download and install the normal dektop iso | 01:51 |
| Malinuss | Tex_Nick, yeah I know. What I mean by "orginal ubuntu", is how the desktop looks when you install the normal desktop | 01:52 |
| xangua | ahmedipa: still no make sence, ubuntu one comes preinstalled in ubuntu and neither you provide an error output | 01:52 |
| Malinuss | xangua, yeah I should propably do that, I just kinda wanted to play around and see for myself if I could get the same looks, but without anything extra | 01:52 |
| ahmedipa | xangua: I want to upload image problem what is best link to upload | 01:53 |

| dr_willis | sirdotalus: seems to be a rather weird but in pycurl. or the server you are trying to get the update info from is having issues.. thats defintly not a normal error message | 02:02 |
| ahmedipa | anyone can give me feedback about what just I said | 02:02 |
| xangua | ahmedipa: if you want to install or not security updates is mostly up to you | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | ahmedipa: do an apt-get auto-remove and apt-cache clean afterwards | 02:02 |

| histo | !best | jab416171 | 03:29 |
| ubottu | jab416171: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 03:29 |
| fbdystang | histo; ok let me try that | 03:30 |
| whoever | jab416171: samba | 03:30 |
| jab416171 | histo: will both work with both a Windows client and NTFS drives? | 03:30 |
| jab416171 | whoever: why? | 03:30 |
| whoever | jab416171: yes - | 03:30 |
| Gavilan3 | My ubuntu is kind of frozen (the clock still works) | 03:30 |
| Gavilan3 | what can I do? | 03:30 |
| histo | jab416171: Yes | 03:30 |
| histo | jab416171: the fact that the drives are ntfs doesn't matter. | 03:30 |
| whoever | jab416171: because samba is for sharing betwing LAN nodes and it will work by setting permissions | 03:31 |
| histo | Gavilan3: ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a tty and sudo restart lightdm | 03:31 |
| jab416171 | are they both just as easy to set up on the Windows side? Just "Add a shared drive"? | 03:32 |
| histo | jab416171: What version of windows? | 03:32 |
| jab416171 | 7 | 03:32 |
| whoever | jab416171: if its your first time doing it, then no, | 03:32 |
| fbdystang | histo: I get a folder when extracting. do I put the entire folder in the plugin directory, or just one file? | 03:32 |
| Wug | im full of problems today aren't I | 03:32 |
| histo | fbdystang: What are you extracting? | 03:33 |
| whoever | jab416171: if you need help with setting up samba you should go to #samba | 03:33 |
| jab416171 | whoever: then which one is easier on the windows side? | 03:33 |
| Gavilan3 | histo: I went there and it says: SYSTEM RESTART REQUIRED... what does that mean? | 03:33 |
| histo | Wug: I remember you from yesterday, So I take it testdisk wasn't able to repair the partitoin table? | 03:33 |
| Gavilan3 | why would it say that? | 03:33 |
| Wug | the next one is that for some reason, on ubuntu 12.04 with default settings, attempting to login crashes X, which brings me back to the login screen | 03:33 |
| histo | Gavilan3: You installed updates that won't be active until you restart | 03:33 |
| Wug | histo: its going, but its a slow process and I had to stop to sleep | 03:33 |
| histo | Gavilan3: After restarting lightdm it should take you back to a GUI if not ctrl+alt+F7 will take you there. | 03:34 |
| melty | lol | 03:34 |
| fbdystang | histo: drop.geekbox.info/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz | 03:34 |
| Gavilan3 | how do I restart lightdm? | 03:34 |
| Wug | testdisk did hang due to aforementioned bug while copying files off, but they were in the recycling bin so I dont care | 03:34 |
| histo | Gavilan3: sudo restart lightdm | 03:34 |
| BluesKaj | fbdystang, the file looks something like libfashplayer.so , may not be exactly that but there should only be one .so file | 03:34 |
| Wug | ill just skip that folder | 03:34 |
| whoever | jab416171: it depends what are you tring to atchieve , just share them to anyone that wants them without security or do you need security | 03:34 |
| Gavilan3 | and what is this lightdm thing? | 03:35 |
| fbdystang | BluesKaj: found it, buried in the folders. do I replace my old one with it? | 03:35 |
| histo | jab416171: samba will just work on the windows side. NFS will work if you have nfs support enabled in windows, which most people don't by default so that would require some tinkering. | 03:35 |
| whoever | jab416171: and now that i thing about it even connecting to the shares if thery where on windows from ubuntu , though the gui, you are still using samba | 03:35 |
| User_San | Hello, i need help. I can't login on Ubuntu (except by Guest). Everytime i type the right password, lightdm restarts, not loggin in... | 03:35 |
| jab416171 | ok thanks, that's what I was looking for | 03:35 |
| histo | Gavilan3: lightdm is the display manager that starts unity after you login etc.. | 03:35 |
| User_San | Please, help | 03:35 |
| Wug | User_San: mine does the same thing | 03:36 |
| Gavilan3 | ok | 03:36 |
| Gavilan3 | thanks | 03:36 |
| Wug | I believe it to be graphics driver related | 03:36 |
| picaroo | User_San: do you know the root password? | 03:36 |
| histo | picaroo: there is no root password | 03:36 |
| User_San | picaroo: yes | 03:36 |
| Wug | I'm probably going to reinstall the entire graphics system when I get around to it | 03:36 |
| BluesKaj | which old one , fbdystang , i didn't see a flash...so file in any of your posts | 03:36 |
| histo | User_San: What were you doing when this happened? | 03:36 |
| User_San | picaroo: sudo | 03:36 |
| h00k | !root | picaroo | 03:36 |
| ubottu | picaroo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:36 |
| picaroo | User_San: log in as root, and try changing your password | 03:36 |
| histo | fbdystang: Again is there a reason you aren't using flash from the repos? | 03:36 |
| whoever | jab416171: go to #samba, and i'll walk/guide you | 03:37 |
| histo | fbdystang: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer will install flash for you in the proper place | 03:37 |
| User_San | histo: i have no clue... i was just using it normally... so i turn it off... on the next turn on it got this error... | 03:37 |
| Gavilan3 | histo: Thanks! | 03:37 |
| histo | picaroo: Please don't suggest people do that. | 03:37 |
| histo | picaroo: The root account is disabled by default in ubuntu and does not need to be enabled. | 03:37 |
| User_San | picaroo: i log in on tty1, not a password problem :) | 03:37 |
| Wug | the ubuntu way is the sudo way | 03:37 |
| histo | User_San: What were you doing when this happened? | 03:38 |
| User_San | histo: i have no clue... i was just using it normally... so i turn it off... on the next turn on it got this error... | 03:38 |
| Wug | User_San: did you install upgrades before you turned it off | 03:38 |
| Wug | (I'm pretty sure mine was triggered by upgrading to 12.04) | 03:38 |
| User_San | maybe | 03:38 |
| histo | User_San: So mostlikely there is an error with something in your users settings. | 03:39 |
| Wug | it worked before that, and suddenly didnt | 03:39 |
| BluesKaj | histo, the flash plugin shouid be installed with the restricted -extras , if he has it | 03:39 |
| Wug | I had to reinstall my graphics drivers, and they still dont seem quite right | 03:39 |
| User_San | Wug: i am on 12.10... i didn't had this problem yesterday | 03:39 |
| histo | Wug: What type of graphics card? | 03:39 |
| Wug | User_San: did you upgrade to 12.10 a while ago and not restart? | 03:39 |
| Wug | histo: 7970 | 03:39 |
| User_San | Wug: histo , still, i may have upgraded | 03:39 |
| Wug | it worked fine last release | 03:39 |
| Wug | then i upgraded and it borked | 03:39 |
| User_San | Wug: no, it's an (old) fresh 12.10 install | 03:40 |
| Wug | it sort of works though, I can sudo startx from a tty and that gives me a root desktop environment | 03:40 |
| Wug | lightdm just silently fails to login though | 03:40 |
| histo | User_San: You'd most likely have to plug around in your ~ and look at what is running on startup for your user. | 03:40 |
| User_San | histo: as I said, i may have upgraded, but i just remember upgrading google-chrome | 03:40 |
| User_San | histo: how do i do that? | 03:41 |
| fbdystang | BluesKaj: histo: and all others. Manually putting that .so file into the the plugins directory worked!! I can now see that video :) Thanks y'all | 03:41 |
| User_San | histo: i mean, where is the file | 03:41 |
| histo | User_San: Let me poke around and see what I find it. | 03:42 |
| BluesKaj | fbdystang, glad to hear that :) | 03:42 |
| histo | fbdystang: That's all the other installers do that's what I was telling you. It's not a complicated process | 03:42 |
| User_San | histo: i tried to create a new user: it had the same problem | 03:42 |
| User_San | histo: the only thing that works is guest user | 03:43 |
| fbdystang | histo: right, i completely understand. the problem for the last 45 mins on this chat room was than NONE of the automated processes were working | 03:43 |
| fbdystang | and we tried a few | 03:43 |
| Wug | User_San: can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 03:43 |
| histo | User_San: right because the guest user doesn't have the same config as you. You could create a new user and try to login to just to proove i'm right. | 03:43 |
| Wug | histo: he just mentioned that he tried that and was unsuccessful | 03:44 |
| picaroo | User_San: How do you know Lightdm is the problem? Also, have you checked the lightdm log file for usefeul information? It's probably located here: /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 03:44 |
| Wug | my graphics driver and my card apparently dont agree | 03:44 |
| fbdystang | Wug: I had the same problem yesterday with updates and fglrx | 03:45 |
| User_San | histo: i just said: i created a new user: same problem | 03:45 |
| histo | User_San: sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | pastebinit | 03:45 |
| histo | User_San: after you try and login ofcourse | 03:45 |

| User_San | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1631937 | 04:01 |
| Wug | marz: sounds like windows broke grub | 04:01 |
| Wug | it likes to pretend its the only one in the world | 04:01 |
| User_San | histo: we mey have found the error's source | 04:02 |
| fbdystang | you have to install windows first, then ubuntu. This allow ubuntu to add grub correctly | 04:02 |

| loudaslife | Can anyone help with this ubuntu software center error? http://pastie.org/6107593 | 04:03 |
| User_San | the .Xauthority belongs to the user... | 04:03 |

| histo | User_San: What error were you talking about I got side tracked. | 04:05 |
| Tex_Nick | fbdystang: hey great to see you got your flash working ... you had some good help on that one ... you had the patience to work through it also :) | 04:05 |
| User_San | histo: i think you are talking about this one 944784 | 04:06 |
| histo | User_San: Have you restarted and you are still experiencing the problem? | 04:06 |
| fbdystang | Tex_Nick: yea, I have been doing this for years but that threw me for a loop. I "used" to trust the auto package installers :( Anyway, just paying it forward now | 04:06 |
| User_San | histo: several times | 04:06 |
| Wug | User_San: it would help us a lot if you added the rest of the pastebin link to those numbers | 04:06 |
| User_San | Wug: not a pastebin, an ubuntu error | 04:07 |
| histo | User_San: What is 944784? | 04:07 |
| User_San | histo an ubuntu error | 04:07 |
| Tex_Nick | fbdystang: out of curosity ... did you ever determine why it would not install through the normal methods ? | 04:07 |

| User_San | histo: so what now? | 04:16 |
| histo | User_San: Lets make a fresh lightdm.log and check | 04:16 |
| KrisB | Hello, how to use memdisk? | 04:16 |
| histo | User_San: sudo mv /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log.old && sudo touch /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 04:17 |
| Wug | KrisB: you mean the ramdisk boot kernel thing? | 04:17 |
| KrisB | Wug, Yea, I wanna additionally install another distribution of Linux. | 04:18 |
| Wug | linux16 /path/to/memdisk [newline] initrd16 path/to/image.iso | 04:18 |
| Wug | it doesn't work quite like you'd expect it to however | 04:18 |
| histo | Wug: What are you talking about? | 04:18 |
| User_San | histo: pretty strange: no new logs again | 04:19 |
| Wug | any kernel that thinks its on a CD will continue to think its on a CD and will attempt to open the CD device to read stuff | 04:19 |
| User_San | i will reboot, | 04:19 |
| Wug | since there is no CD device, this will fail | 04:19 |
| User_San | histo: ill be right back | 04:19 |
| histo | User_San: k | 04:19 |
| Wug | some simple utilities will work though, like memchk | 04:19 |
| Wug | memtest* | 04:19 |
| histo | KrisB: What are you trying to do? | 04:20 |
| Wug | I was unable to get past the splash screens for either the ubuntu 12.10 CD or the GParted CD | 04:20 |
| Free-Info | hi | 04:20 |
| histo | Wug: Doing what? | 04:20 |
| KrisB | histo: install Debian. I don't have CD-ROM, my motherboard doesnt support USB booting etiher. | 04:20 |
| Wug | histo: memdisk is a utility that loads an ISO image into ram and attempts to boot to it | 04:20 |
| histo | Wug: from within another os? | 04:21 |
| Wug | the lines I gave earlier were grub commands | 04:21 |
| Em_ | Help, I can't fix grub. I followed the steps in this lin: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html. But when I enter the command "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda5" it gives me an error message. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1631979/ | 04:21 |
| Wug | no, its a kernel | 04:21 |
| histo | oh gotcha | 04:21 |
| Wug | i was playing with it last week so its fresh on my mind | 04:21 |
| Free-Info | help me please --- I've a done wrong use of "#mv" command. Example: | 04:21 |
| Free-Info | # Mv/home/USER/Downloads/piff.pdf /root/PDFs | 04:21 |
| Free-Info | then the directory "/root/PDFs" has been changed to a plain text file. | 04:22 |
| KrisB | Wug: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ which one is memdisk? | 04:22 |
| Free-Info | I can undo the command? I can retrieve the directory? | 04:22 |
| histo | Free-Info: mv /root/PDFs /root/piff.pdf | 04:22 |
| Wug | histo: I think he means there was a /root/PDFs folder there before | 04:23 |
| Free-Info | PDFs is a directory | 04:23 |
| Wug | KrisB: if you're using ubuntu you can sudo apt-get grub-imageboot | 04:23 |
| Wug | which includes memdisk (I think it puts it in /boot/memdisk) | 04:24 |
| Wug | Free-Info: is it really important | 04:24 |
| histo | ohh | 04:24 |
| histo | Free-Info: Wsa there anything in PDFs directory before? | 04:24 |
| KrisB | Wug: in that case, i only need to add the line for iso? | 04:24 |
| Wug | if its not, then you can probably just get the contents back by redownloading them or whatever | 04:25 |
| Free-Info | yes, i have importants doc in the PDFs directory | 04:25 |
| Wug | KrisB: there is a utility that grub-imageboot comes with that generates grub entries for isos in a certain folder | 04:25 |
| Free-Info | :) | 04:25 |
| Wug | /boot/images or something | 04:25 |
| histo | Free-Info: you had docuemtns in there prior to the move? | 04:26 |
| Wug | if you look in /etc/default/grub-imageboot.conf it has the directory and you can set it to wherever | 04:26 |
| Free-Info | SU | 04:26 |
| Free-Info | root sys | 04:26 |
| histo | ? | 04:26 |
| Wug | it has to be on the root partition, there's a bug if you put it on a different one (you should be able to fix said bug with a little bash expertise if you really want to) | 04:26 |
| histo | Free-Info: Did you have docuements in the /root/PDFs/ directory prior to your move? | 04:26 |
| Wug | histo: I think that was the implication, yeah | 04:27 |
| Free-Info | histo: yes | 04:27 |
| Wug | Free-Info: I know testdisk would be able to recover them | 04:27 |
| User_San | histo: i got no new errors on X.. i have a strong feeling the error is on unity-greeter | 04:27 |
| Wug | boy do I know testdisk well right now | 04:27 |
| Wug | not sure you should install it on the system since it might overwrite some of the data | 04:28 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest83060 | ||
| histo | Free-Info: What is the problem? piff.pdf should be in /root/PDFs | 04:28 |

| Wug | windows would be good, there is a windows version of testdisk | 04:29 |
| KrisB | Wug - I just installed grub-imageboot, and I do have the Debian .iso file. What should be the next step? | 04:29 |
| histo | User_San: Yeah do you have new errors in lightdm.log? | 04:29 |
| Free-Info | Wug: yes, a Debian in USB pendrive | 04:29 |
| Wug | KrisB: find the config file (which has the folder to stick the iso into), put it in there, and do sudo update-grub | 04:29 |
| Wug | Free-Info: ok, write these instructions down so you can reboot immediately | 04:30 |
| User_San | histo: yes some... but only when lightdm started, not on logins | 04:30 |
| Free-Info | histo: cd: /pentest/PDFs: not is a directory. | 04:30 |
| histo | Free-Info: okay now i'm confused you were saying /root/PDFs now you are syaying /pentest/PDFs which is it? | 04:31 |
| histo | Free-Info: and what command did you issue? | 04:31 |
| Free-Info | rsrsrs | 04:32 |
| User_San_ | histo: wait a sec | 04:32 |
| User_San_ | histo: i will send the logs | 04:32 |
| Wug | Free-Info: 1. boot into debian on the pendrive 2. install testdisk (its probably in a repository or on their website, ubuntu package is 'testdisk') 3. open testdisk as root with "testdisk <harddrive>" where <harddrive> is the device in /dev 4. analyze for partitions 5. pick whichever partition is the right one 6. Browse Files 7. copy the folder | 04:32 |
| histo | User_San_: I'm at a loss as to what's going on. I would post on askubuntu | 04:32 |
| KrisB | Wug - I didn't quite understand which config file to find. | 04:33 |
| Free-Info | # mv FILE.pdf /root/PDFs | 04:33 |
| Wug | KrisB: /etc/defaults/grub-imageboot.conf | 04:33 |
| blah | Hi everyone, I'm ssh'd into an ubuntu machine and I dont have vnc running on it yet. Is there a way to turn on the vncserver from the terminal? | 04:33 |
| histo | Free-Info: yeah that would put FILE.pdf in /root/PDFs directory | 04:33 |
| Free-Info | and now /root/PDFs not is a directory. is a plain text file | 04:33 |
| histo | Free-Info: assuming /root/PDFs existed before the move. | 04:33 |

| User_San_ | histo: look, i have a strong feeling about unity-greeter | 04:35 |
| User_San_ | histo: how do i get an older version from apt? | 04:35 |
| Wug | User_San_: you might try shotgun reinstalling huge swaths of packages until you eventually find one thats broken | 04:35 |
| histo | User_San_: sounds like a possiblity. You could install gdm and use that instead of lightdm | 04:36 |
| histo | User_San_: That's what i would od | 04:36 |
| histo | User_San_: Just to make sure it's lightdm that's the issue | 04:36 |
| Wug | I actually rather like recent unity | 04:36 |
| KrisB | Wug - okay, there is the link "IMAGES="/boot/images"" should I put iso in this folder? | 04:36 |

| Wug | KrisB: yeah, or change the folder to something else on the same device | 04:36 |

| RustyShackleford | cfhowlett, for debugging, or because openbox sucks? | 04:39 |

| RustyShackleford | I think I just need to apply some antialiasing/font rendering/whatever settings | 04:43 |
| Wug | ok so I have this idea | 04:44 |
| histo | Wug: What? | 04:44 |
| Wug | I'm going to author a setup that includes almost nothing but qemu and autoconfigs to pick an ISO from some folder somewhere, boot the ISO with qemu, and pass all storage devices to the VM | 04:45 |
| Wug | it will be almost as good as booting from any ISO without any extra hardware | 04:46 |
| RustyShackleford | http://i.imgur.com/dK1rUC0.png | 04:47 |
| RustyShackleford | I feel like it looks better in the picture than in my VM | 04:47 |
| RustyShackleford | don't the font's look kinda thin though. Look at the semicolons or m's | 04:47 |
| histo | RustyShackleford: thin compaired to what? | 04:48 |
| RustyShackleford | what ubuntu mono usually looks like | 04:48 |
| histo | RustyShackleford: What font are you using? | 04:48 |
| RustyShackleford | ubuntu mono 12 | 04:48 |

| wiggmpk | yatriga: now "lsmod" in pastebin | 06:36 |
| w500ubuntu | DaemonicApathy, I did that too, through opacity, but it makes the text transparent too, very hard to read. if there was a way to make the background only transparent. | 06:37 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: and "what" is telling you it cant find wlan0, when/where do you see that? | 06:37 |
| Tex_Nick | w500ubuntu: can you just autu-hide it ... would thaT HELP ? | 06:38 |

| BillyZane | what's the command that I type in terminal to open up a second session? Like, when I type ctrl+alt+F# , I should be able to access a second login screen right? But before I do that, I have to type in a command in terminal. Anyone know what that is? | 06:39 |
| yatriga | wiggmpk dont know | 06:39 |
| magn3ts_ | Can someone please help me... I can't login at all | 06:40 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: well how did you find out that it cant find the device? | 06:40 |
| magn3ts_ | And shocker, I can't figure out what log would help me, if any. | 06:40 |
| Tex_Nick | w500ubuntu: SUPER+ALT right click on panel ... properties ... general tab ... auto hide | 06:40 |
| magn3ts_ | When I login, it's sucessful and then it immediately loops backand dumps me in the login scnreen agai | 06:40 |
| w500ubuntu | Tex_Nick, lol im aware of that one. just was wondering if full transparency was possible. | 06:41 |
| aeon-ltd | magn3ts_: sounds like the DE you're using is crashing | 06:41 |
| Tex_Nick | w500ubuntu: i'm using 12.10 with gnome classic de now ... & have the top & bottom pannels set to auto-hide :) | 06:41 |
| magn3ts_ | aeon-ltd: it was all the DEs because I was an idiot and used bash syntax in my .profile. | 06:41 |
| magn3ts_ | aeon-ltd: sorry for the false alarm | 06:41 |
| DaemonicApathy | BillyZane: run "startx" in a tty: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/multiple-x.html | 06:42 |
| aeon-ltd | magn3ts_: it's cool :) better than having problems right? | 06:42 |
| w500ubuntu | Tex_Nick, =), i won't give up yet. | 06:42 |
| magn3ts_ | That having been said, I'd still happily welcome anyone who can tell me what the hell ubiquity is doing on my system when it goes off the deep end and hangs. | 06:42 |
| tigrang | i just had a kernel panic in ubuntu 12.10. I was editing a file and now that file is empty. is there any way for me to recover the contents of that file? | 06:42 |
| magn3ts_ | aeon-ltd: very much so. at first I thought it was because /home is on my BTRFS RAID array and it had been hosed. That was going to put me in tears. | 06:42 |
| magn3ts_ | tigrang: what editor? | 06:43 |
| tigrang | PHPStorm | 06:43 |
| yatriga | wiggmpk dont know | 06:43 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: i dont see the driver module loaded that your wireless care is using.. so you should try to load the module and then restart the networking service.. "sudo modprobe w10" to load the driver then "sudo service networking restart" to restart the networking | 06:43 |
| magn3ts_ | tigrang: not sure, sorry. | 06:43 |
| melty | lol | 06:43 |
| yatriga | wiggmpk how do i load the module | 06:44 |
| OerHeks | magn3ts_, known issue, see http://askubuntu.com/a/241989 >> sudo chown user:user .Xauthority and start lightdm again | 06:44 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: sudo modprobe w10 | 06:44 |
| tigrang | I dont want to rewrite all that code =/ | 06:44 |
| DaemonicApathy | tigrang: save often | 06:44 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: then you can do "lsmod" again and look for it to be sure | 06:44 |
| tigrang | I did save | 06:44 |
| tigrang | DaemonicApathy, after kernel panic that file is empty | 06:45 |
| yatriga | wiggmpk ok | 06:45 |
| DaemonicApathy | *shrug* | 06:45 |
| magn3ts_ | OerHeks: already got it, I screwed up .profile likea dummy. thanks though! | 06:45 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: it doesn't work still at MTU 1452 or 1492 | 06:45 |
| wiggmpk | yatriga: if you see the module loaded then restart the networking service.. "sudo service networking restart" | 06:46 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: damn, ok so question.. you have a router.. and modem? or a combo deal? | 06:46 |
| pranav | i've a wireless router | 06:46 |
| pranav | which connects to the gateway ip | 06:47 |
| pranav | and then creates a lan for us | 06:47 |
| pranav | wlan | 06:47 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: ok, so your router is initiating the connection to your ISP, then using NAT and DHCP for your LAN side network? | 06:47 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: in other words, your router is being assigned a WAN facing IP from your IP? | 06:48 |
| wiggmpk | ISP* | 06:48 |
| pranav | yes | 06:48 |
| pranav | exactly | 06:48 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: is your router acting as the DNS or just relaying the DNS from your ISP? | 06:48 |
| pranav | everything works fine under windows. even under ubuntu, but some pages like youtube, fb, ms.. they end up rendering half | 06:49 |
| pranav | often with missing thumnails and images totally | 06:49 |
| pranav | i've tried 4 different browsers | 06:49 |
| pranav | its same | 06:49 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: so this problem exists on a Windows OS as well? | 06:50 |
| pranav | No | 06:50 |
| pranav | not at all | 06:50 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: different machines? difference in connection medium? cat5 vs wireless | 06:50 |
| pranav | nope. i've dual boot in my system | 06:51 |
| pranav | same router, same lan.. | 06:51 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: using any proxy at all system wide or browser based on ubuntu? | 06:51 |
| pranav | and when i use same settings with a netgear router. its completely fine also with UBUNTU. that proves that I have 'none' system wide proxy settings | 06:51 |
| jmcantrell | how do i turn off the launcher web app thingy? | 06:52 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: ok stupid question... have you tried power cycling all the networking equipment? | 06:52 |
| KrisB | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux Without CD Section. Afteer "apt-get install grub-pc linux-image", the error: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for libnih-dbus1, probably a dependency cycle." | 06:52 |
| pranav | you mean reset.. ? there's only 1 router. it has been resets on power cuts which are frequent | 06:53 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: well not reset per say, just removing the power for like 30seconds, then powering up each 1 at a time with like a 15ish sec lag between devices | 06:53 |
| Noskcaj | any idea what happened to the ultimate edition website? | 06:54 |
| pranav | huh! no | 06:54 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: what is it supposed to do btw.. ? wait | 06:55 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: im assuming you have a DSL modem connected to the router (cant remember if you told me that or not) | 06:55 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: thats like rule 300 and something in IT, if it doesnt work unplug it and plug it back in lol | 06:55 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: yes, a WiFi interface which connects to this WirelessRouter | 06:56 |
| pranav | diretly | 06:56 |
| Tex_Nick | jmcantrell: could you please explain that in more detail ? | 06:56 |
| pranav | and the WirelessRouter in turn is connected to a cable that came from ISP | 06:57 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: just a cable? no modem? | 06:57 |
| pranav | yes | 06:57 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: and RJ11 line? regular telephone cord? right into the back of the router? | 06:58 |
| ASHER1 | Hello i need please help about control panel i can run in ubuntu? | 06:58 |
| KrisB | so how to fix "Couldn't configure pre-depend multiarch-support for libnih-dbus1, probably a dependency cycle."? | 06:58 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: that is connected to the modem of isp, but its not in our place | 06:58 |
| pranav | its far off the pole | 06:58 |
| Tex_Nick | jmcantrell: what distro & desktop enviornment are you using ... and what exactly does the "launcher broweser thingy" refer to :) | 06:59 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: thats weird | 06:59 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: is this like a reseller ISP, like a small town? | 06:59 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: yes, you got it right | 06:59 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: has this always been a problem or just more recently? | 07:00 |
| ASHER1 | someone? | 07:00 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: i just subsribed to them | 07:00 |
| pranav | *subscribed | 07:00 |

| pranav | this fails to load with TPRouter | 07:01 |
| pranav | and loads well with NetGear | 07:01 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: how old is the TProuter vs the Netgear? | 07:01 |
| pranav | netgear 1 month, and TPLink 1 week | 07:01 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: do you think i should start watching for packets in wireshark | 07:02 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: did your ISP give you the TPLink ? | 07:02 |
| pranav | no, i bought it | 07:02 |
| pranav | and compare the changes in packets for both routers | 07:02 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: i mean you could if you know how to read them, im not really familiar with wireshark | 07:02 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: me too | 07:02 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: is there any benefit to using the TPLink router over the Netgear? | 07:03 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: Netgear is my friends router. not any known benefit. a bit expensive. but the cp has lesser settings to change | 07:05 |
| pranav | i tried to compare all the fields like RTS, MTU | 07:05 |
| pranav | its mostly same | 07:05 |
| melty | lol | 07:05 |

| Ben64 | if its working with one router and not the other, it sounds like a router problem | 07:07 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: exactly. | 07:07 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: true, but he said when he's in Windows using the router that doesnt work with Ubuntu he doesnt have the issue | 07:07 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: yes | 07:08 |
| Ben64 | bad lan drivers in linux? | 07:08 |
| ASHER1 | ? | 07:08 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: possible I guess, but with his friends Netgear router the issue isnt present either | 07:08 |
| Ben64 | yeah, some routers suck | 07:09 |

| wiggmpk | I hear that | 07:11 |

| wiggmpk | pranav: in my opinion... its a 2 sided coin.. different equipment works so it could be the router.. but it also could be drivers in your ubuntu installation | 07:14 |

| pranav | wiggmpk: never seen a word "firewall" in any pages of CP for both the router | 07:22 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: ok, guys thanks for the coordination.. :) | 07:23 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: anything like Internet NAT redirection or Multicast something like that? | 07:23 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: one more question... both of the routers.. are they giving out IPv4 address's or IPv6? | 07:23 |
| pranav | wiggmpk: couldn't get. my LAN IP, and router's WAN is IPv4 | 07:24 |
| Tex_Nick | pranav: i haven't scrolled up to see the entire issue ... if you're only loosingpartial data on partial protocols intermittently ... can you just plug your pc direct into the cloud ... or have you already done that & determined probnlem is with a specific device ? | 07:24 |

| pranav | wiggmpk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1632240/ | 07:31 |
| hilarie | is there anything bad that could happen if I 'sudo rm -r /var/log/* | 07:31 |
| hilarie | ' | 07:31 |
| wiggmpk | hilarie: an absence of logs... but probably not | 07:32 |
| hillary | Thanks i have managed. just copy the extracted folder to /var/ww/. then type in the browser localhost/folder then press enter.there you are to access itlocally | 07:32 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: looks like your getting both ipv4 and 6 address's | 07:32 |
| hilarie | Hillary, your name freaks me out | 07:32 |
| Tex_Nick | pranav: you mentioned wireshark earlier ... it's a good tool for what you want to do | 07:32 |
| Tex_Nick | have you asked in #ubuntu-server | 07:32 |
| kunji | I'm on Lubuntu and I just noticed something kind of odd. All I have open is a terminal window. If it's open I get a little bit of static on the analogue audio out, if it's minimized the static disappears. It's not really a problem, but I was wondering about any speculation on why this might happen? | 07:33 |
| tigrang | After a kernel panic occurred, the file I was editing is now empty. Is there any way to recover its contents? | 07:33 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: you can try and look for the file with the ~ after it.. should be hidden | 07:34 |
| pranav | Tex_Nick: yes, i will try the process of elimination and then go for it for some clues ;) | 07:34 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: example /etc/hosts vs /etc/hosts~ | 07:34 |
| hillary | hilarie, oops ! why? | 07:34 |
| tigrang | wiggmpk, there isn't a file like that | 07:34 |
| wiggmpk | pranav: if you have the option to disable IPv6 on the router, try that too | 07:34 |
| Tex_Nick | pranav: good luck man ... report back :) | 07:34 |
| pranav | ok | 07:35 |
| hilarie | hillary ? | 07:35 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: guess you didnt make a copy of the original before editing? | 07:35 |
| hillary | hilarie, Good name eah! change yours to hillary | 07:36 |
| tigrang | it started off as an empty file, I wrote all of it | 07:36 |
| hilarie | someone had already registered it! | 07:36 |
| histo | Wonder who? | 07:36 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: no save in between editing eh... unless someone else has a trick I think you lost it | 07:37 |
| tigrang | wiggmpk, yes, there were many saves | 07:37 |
| hillary | hilarie, but this is hillary man from kenya not hillary clinton!! good sunday | 07:37 |
| tigrang | but it crashed while I was saving (again) | 07:37 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: then there should be a ~ file.. it's hidden though.. enter the directory and try ls -la | 07:37 |
| tigrang | wiggmpk, doesnt that depend on the editor? There isn't a file like that (wish there was lol) | 07:38 |
| wiggmpk | tigrang: which editor were you using? | 07:38 |
| Tex_Nick | kunji : sounds like an emi vertical refresh interference ... usually caused by a bad decouple capacitor on motherboard ? | 07:38 |
| tigrang | wiggmpk, phpstorm | 07:38 |
| tigrang | it keeps local history of files, but that directory got corrupted too | 07:39 |
| hilarie | hillary It's hilarie Duff! | 07:39 |
| hilarie | tyvm | 07:39 |
| hilarie | Well, I backed up the log file to another drive, and deleted it, if it fills up again, I guess i will be back! | 07:39 |

| tigrang | k | 07:40 |

| histo | hilarie: what log file? | 07:40 |
| hilarie | histo the mail, and the auth, and xorg, were all over a gig | 07:41 |
| Tex_Nick | kunji : if you move the window around os type into it ... do you hear hissing ? | 07:41 |
| theadmin | hilarie: Make sure logrotate and some sort of a cron daemon are installed | 07:41 |
| hilarie | theadmin it was less then a week from it being tiny, to this | 07:41 |
| theadmin | hilarie: Yeah, tends to happen when logrotate is missing. | 07:41 |
| kunji | Tex_Nick: Are those the bigger caps that you can usually replace yourself? All of those look ok to me (no leaking, no bulging, perfectly flat tops). It's a very slight change, so I was thinking it's probably not a hardware 'flaw' per se, that is maybe in the design, but I think the components are good. I may not have expressed my question well. | 07:42 |
| hilarie | there were a couple .olds and stuff, would that have been log rotate? | 07:42 |
| kunji | Tex_Nick: Hmm, I do hear a modulation in the static, it's not really a hiss though, more of a very quiet buzzing who's frequency changes a little as a move the window around. | 07:43 |
| theadmin | hilarie: Not sure what makes those, but I have logrotate installed, the system is running for about a month now and /var/log is only 9 meters big | 07:43 |
| theadmin | hilarie: Err, megabytes. | 07:43 |
| Tex_Nick | kunji : no those are filter caps ... the ones i'm talking about are the size of small ants :( | 07:43 |
| histo | hilarie: You can take a look at logrotate configs and see what it's set for. But .old is not something it usually does. | 07:43 |
| kunji | Tex_Nick: Oh, ... those ones, yuck, would just need to live with it if there's a problem with one of those | 07:44 |
| hilarie | Well, /var/log hit 4gb in less then a week | 07:44 |
| histo | hilarie: is it full of errors? | 07:44 |
| theadmin | hilarie: sudo apt-get install logrotate # Should fix your issue. | 07:44 |

| theadmin | yatriga: It can set the fan speed to desired one according to defined temperatures in the config file | 07:47 |
| kunji | Tex_Nick: Well, it's no show stopper at least, this machine has been solid for almost 3 years now, I don't use the audio on it much though, so I probably just never notice (has mostly been serving as a linux based router). | 07:47 |

| lupfantomo | Hi all. I've recently upgraded to 12.10 and my connection is painfully slow whether plugged in or wireless. I've followed everything I can find googling for a solution with no luck. Any ideas? | 07:49 |
| dan_ | hi i am having trouble getting wine to work | 07:50 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest55717 | ||
| Guest55717 | about half the time i run it it says it can't find my .exe file | 07:50 |
| Guest55717 | the other half it works fine | 07:50 |

| tripelb | i've neen asking here for 1.5 weeks about my partitions. 5 min on #linux and the advice was delete the non-windows ones. I go discover cfdisk...do it. Magic! gparted and the installer now work. Whew. Been a long strange trip | 07:50 |
| _dan_ | anyone know how to debug it? | 07:51 |
| amiu | "Download Ubuntu One for Windows!" <--- Why is this so damn funny? | 07:51 |
| amiu | wrong room... | 07:51 |
| lupfantomo | theadmin: I've done that. I've also updated the drivers, and tried wicd(now back on network manager). Nothing seems to help. Windows is fine with it so I don't think it is a hardware issue. | 07:51 |
| hilarie | tripelb lol, nice | 07:51 |
| tripelb | :P | 07:51 |
| kunji | hilarie: I actually opted to have a different machine handle the other two functions, mainly because of a lack of a good way to get fast file I/O on this machine (only USB 2.0 and only space inside for a single drive). I'm now repurposing it as a light desktop system since I got a new router and put dd-wrt on it. | 07:51 |
| tripelb | hil | 07:51 |
| theadmin | lupfantomo: Hm... Interesting. | 07:52 |
| theadmin | lupfantomo: (that means I don't know what the problem is :D) | 07:52 |
| _dan_ | or, any advice for updating wine to a non buggy version? i assumed the one in the repos would be ok | 07:52 |
| _dan_ | i am using 12.04 | 07:52 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:52 |
| theadmin | _dan_: Wine doesn't have a "non-buggy version", it's not perfect, probably will never be | 07:52 |
| Tex_Nick | kunji : i hear you ... a kludge would be to place a capacitor ( polyethelene non-polarized ) .o1 pf across the audio sig &gnd lines ... problem is the noise is on the buis ... i wonder if it might get worse with time ... maybe start causind data corruption | 07:52 |
| lupfantomo | theadmin: I've yelled in rage a few times and am horribly close to turning the laptop into a paper weight. :D | 07:52 |
| kunji | _dan_: There is not non buggy version | 07:52 |
| kunji | *not a non.. | 07:53 |
| _dan_ | well ok, one that at least is consistent in failing :/ | 07:53 |
| lupfantomo | Guess I'll go back to 12.04. But tomorrow. My head is aching too much now. | 07:53 |

| kunji | Tex_Nick: Hmm, well, I'll just watch it carefully for now, if it give me any further problems I'll try that, thanks ^_^ | 07:53 |
| histo | _dan_: the other option is running a winblows virtual machine seamlessly | 07:53 |
| _dan_ | that is not going to be fast enough | 07:54 |
| _dan_ | i want to run avisynth, virtualization would bloat it too much i think | 07:54 |
| histo | _dan_: what does avisynth do perhaps there is an opensource alternative | 07:54 |
| tripelb | hilarie: thanks. no one here could deal with partitions. nice to know where to go. Moral we need a page on how to overwrite an ubuntu pver a prev. installation. or an option to do so in the installer. i guessed and messed it up. | 07:54 |
| kunji | _dan_: Dual boot is the the best way to do it, as much as I hate to run Windows.... | 07:55 |

| histo | _dan_: I would try the linux version over running through wine. and there is this I also found http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/AviSynth_v3 | 07:57 |

| _dan_ | avisynth v3 is not even in alpha state yet :) | 07:58 |
| amiu | theres avidemux | 07:58 |
| yatriga | amiu i can spend? | 07:58 |
| kunji | Yatriga: I don't think I've heard of anyone using a gui for it, nor of a program with that name on Ubuntu, I could be wrong though. | 07:58 |
| amiu | yeah. a thing that goes in one of your empty drive bays with knobs that you turn yourself to control fan speed | 07:59 |
| yatriga | kunji dont u think we need one | 07:59 |
| kunji | _dan_: Are you trying to edit video or convert files, if the later, then I would suggest ffmpeg, though it has a steep learning curve. | 07:59 |
| amiu | theres a lot of stuff id like to have. like an overclocking tool for something becides GPU | 08:00 |
| theadmin | kunji: There's winff which makes it easier :P | 08:00 |
| kunji | theadmin: Yeah, but it doesn't cover a lot of cases, good place to start though. | 08:00 |
| we6jbo | I have a PPA USB to Serial Adapter and I want to plug a serial device into it and access it through Ubuntu | 08:01 |
| _dan_ | i am mostly converting files | 08:01 |
| kunji | tigrang: In my experience yes, the first time at least takes quite a while to sync. | 08:01 |
| tigrang | kunji, ok, thanks | 08:01 |
| histo | _dan_: then use ffmpeg | 08:02 |
| amiu | i've been using OpenShot for conversion | 08:02 |
| theadmin | _dan_: Then just use winff or ffmpeg or mencoder | 08:02 |
| amiu | little overkill but it does the job n its easy to use | 08:02 |
| yatriga | Thanks | 08:03 |
| user__ | how are you | 08:04 |
| kunji | amiu: I'm pretty sure OpenShot uses ffmpeg underneath. It might be good for his uses, I haven't tried it before, I don't know how much of ffmpeg's functionality it exposes. | 08:04 |
| histo | we6jbo: plug it in and use it then | 08:05 |

| lucido | hi, how can I active remote desktop from the terminal? | 08:09 |
| histo | we6jbo: lookat dmesg and see what port it actually is | 08:10 |

| ubottu | lucido: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 08:11 |
| we6jbo | Ill have to try that when I'm in the car again sometime tomorrow | 08:12 |
| amiu | okay how about is there anything that has more features (prefurably WYSIWYG) than Bluefish? | 08:13 |
| histo | we6jbo: If the machine hasn't been shut off the info is still probably in dmesg | 08:13 |
| histo | we6jbo: Also i'm assuming that's probably the wrong portname | 08:13 |
| we6jbo | it wouldnt be in /dev would it? | 08:14 |
| histo | we6jbo: Yes but it depends which usb port it's plugged into. | 08:15 |
| histo | we6jbo: It may be on a different port depends where you plug it in etc... | 08:16 |
| histo | we6jbo: But basically when you have the hardware in front of you. sudo dmesg -c to clear dmesg. Then hook up your stuff. and check the output of dmesg It should show you the device name. | 08:18 |
| MK` | How do I check which programs are using an amount of bandwidth? | 08:20 |

| histo | we6jbo: just below that. | 08:22 |
| histo | we6jbo: dmesg | grep usb | 08:22 |

| kunji | Come to think of it, how do you overclock in Ubuntu? Or do we basically just let the BIOS handle things like that? I know for the Raspberry Pi you can do it with directives in a file that is read on boot (for Raspbian), but they're dealing with a pretty particular piece of hardware. | 08:34 |
| Wug | kunji: let the bios do it | 08:35 |
| Alocer | :P | 08:35 |
| BlackDalek | what is an easy/fastest way to convert ogv video file to an mpeg2 mpg file of similar quality? | 08:36 |
| kunji | Wug: Right, that's my general approach, I suppose the question is, does it always go through the bios. So do apps for overclocking basically just change the bios/send bios directives. Or is there something actually exposed directly to the OS level that could allow more direct runtime changes? | 08:37 |
| vedic | I have setup logwatch which is sending email every day and log file as attachment to that email. I am creating log file manually by running logwatcher --output to file and then using commandline email client to send that log file as attachment. Logwatcher was sending log data from ssh log file and other network attempts but now logwatcher is sending only disk status no network data. Why logwatcher is not able to get all data? | 08:39 |
| kunji | Wug: Or maybe you want to force a particular level of cpu scaling and the bios doesn't happen to support this in their GUI, whereas Catalyst would actually allow you to set this on WIndows, but I believe it does not on Ubuntu. | 08:39 |
| Wug | generally the bios will let you use levels of scaling that are far beyond what the cpu is capable of | 08:40 |
| kunji | BlackDalek: Probably Winff | 08:40 |
| Wug | unless you mean a cpu with a locked multiplier or something | 08:40 |
| kunji | BlackDalek: Or maybe OpenShot, ffmpeg will for sure work, but using it directly isn't the easiest thing | 08:40 |
| Wug | but I don't think you need to worry about breaking 6GHz for a while :D | 08:40 |
| Wug | I'm going to post a guide of exactly how I unborked my partitions later | 08:41 |
| kunji | Wub: I don't mean that, I mean the dynamic scaling they often do for power saving | 08:41 |

| lupfantomo | This is ridiculous. I can't even surf thanks to it. Getting rid of ubuntu once and for all I think. Each update only has more problems and it's become more hassle than it's worth. | 08:41 |
| BlackDalek | kunji, I have been trying ffmeg but every time it makes a hideously pixelated low quality file... trying openshot right now, but it's very slow... | 08:41 |
| Wug | BlackDalek: post the arguments you're using (or pastebin them if theyre huge) | 08:42 |
| defekt | !botsnack | 08:43 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 08:43 |
| kunji | BlackDalek: Well, conveting video will always be slow. Also the problem you're having with ffmpeg is almost certainly that you're not giving it the right arguments. Almost every conversion tool on linux uses ffmpeg underneath, including OpenShot. So if OpenShot ends up giving better results, then you know for sure you just weren't giving ffmpeg the right arguments for preserving quality, etc.. | 08:43 |

For getting help with that you should probably provide exactly what the device, you can find this using: lspci Also any errors that might be related in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/syslog Also check that the correct module is present, and being loaded (this part I'm unfortunately fuzzy on, pr | 08:51 |

| * Halite hate Windows | 09:14 | |
| * Halite falls in love with Ubuntu | 09:14 | |
| ibqn | kunji, what is accessible from windows? | 09:14 |
| kunji | ibqn: You've checked the hardware switch right? Then in Windows that comes on it, using the fn+f5 toggles the wireless in firmware (this is the part I don't know how to access from linux). | 09:14 |
| * Halite has a baby with Ubuntu | 09:14 | |
| ibqn | kunji, it was working well | 09:15 |
| Halite | I plan to make a web development kit - how can I make a multiline rich textbox in Glade Designer for the HTML | 09:15 |
| ibqn | kunji, and fn buttons still work as well | 09:15 |
| kunji | ibqn: And windows hasn't been booted since? Then it's probably not a hardware specific problem. The buttons do work for other things, but not for that (i.e. they work for volume, brightness, etc.. ) | 09:16 |
| Tex_Nick | Halite: this channel is not for programming support ... try ##programming :) | 09:17 |
| kunji | ibqn: Ok, hmm, the wireless won't work at all? Are you using the network manager, or have you swapped it for something else? | 09:17 |
| Halite | where was that ubuntu development channel again | 09:17 |
| Halite | was it ##ubuntu-development | 09:17 |

| patrycjusz | anyone can help me with my question ? witch is better for personal use, vagrant of ubuntu instalation from scratch on VirtualBox | 09:21 |
| kunji | ibqn: Ah, then we get to look at all kinds of things. Check for errors in /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/syslog that are related to the wireless. Also pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, (or describe the setting you're using to connect if you're using network manager). Also describe the network you're trying to connect to, (Open, WPA, WEP, WPA2, needs a signed cert, etc... ). | 09:21 |
| kunji | ibqn: Oh, also the output of lspci just in case they used more than one kind of wireless card in this model. By the way, if it's the same as the one in mine, using it as an access point and in the other modes actually works really well. | 09:23 |

| FnorZ | i seek a gaming keyboard with which i can use the billions of special keys under linux | 09:47 |
| kunji | FnorZ: My guess is that it depends how much is done on the keyboard itself (if it stores the macros on it's own there) or if it's done through the driver or what. | 09:47 |

| FnorZ | kunji, yep, thats a point | 09:47 |

| sencha | theadmin, yeah, like the workspace switcher, but not with 3d effects | 09:50 |
| sencha | theadmin, a pager just shows all the desktops and you can click on them individually to bring them up | 09:50 |

| sencha | plus they're "fatter" | 09:51 |
| kunji | eni: Hmm, I think with modprobe, but you could have the right ones installed and still be having problems. So you should check the x logs in /var/log for error messages etc.. | 09:51 |
| kunji | isasha_: Doesn't have to be win8 though, that's just the cause for my seeing so many lately | 09:51 |
| Axio | Threepwood: right now I am on 3.5 on 12.04, lirc works fine. How come it stops working with 3.8? | 09:52 |
| isasha_ | kunji: oh well. So what do I do? | 09:52 |
| kunji | isasha_: Pastebin that other command for me, sudo parted -l | 09:52 |

| isasha_ | kunji: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1632475/ | 09:52 |
| Threepwood | Axio: I have no idea, I am not a kernel expert, just thought it is strange you couldn't kill the process | 09:53 |
| kunji | eni: Any of the logs with an x in the name I think, the one with the 0 as well has the most recent logs I think | 09:53 |
| kunji | isasha_: huh, that's weird, nothing under File System. Are you running a GUI? If so, try using gparted. Install it with sudo apt-get install gparted | 09:55 |
| eni | kunji, it looks fairly ok to me | 09:56 |
| dydzEz2 | vmware doesnt load grub, does virtual box by oracle load grub? | 09:56 |
| kunji | isasha_: Or we can just go ahead and try mounting it as ntfs and see if it works. NTFS is usually my first bet when people are having trouble with permissions on drives(because it does not respect posix permissions). | 09:56 |
| dydzEz2 | oh it does, i remember | 09:56 |

| julian__ | hi everyone. i've recently installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop (toshiba satellite pro l500-1t1), and everything just worked fine, including changing the display brightness. then after the first upgrades (just ran the update manager), the display brightness seems is not changed anymore when using the hotkeys, even though the notification still pops up. i've tried various methods i've read on the forums, none of them worked. is there | 10:00 |
| julian__ | anything i can do to fix or troubleshoot this? | 10:00 |
| kunji | isasha_: Sorry, I have no idea what your knowledge is on any particular topic | 10:01 |
| kunji | isasha_: In that case it should be respecting normal posix permissions though, so it's a matter of setting them with chmod I would think | 10:01 |
| Arvendu | which ubuntu version is best for my laptop config 2GB Ram and C2D proce | 10:01 |
| kunji | Arvendu: I would probably go with Lubuntu on that, I think it would handle standard Ubuntu, but it wouldn't be as snappy. | 10:02 |
| Arvendu | k but i already have windows in c drive can i install ubuntu in D drive ? | 10:04 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Absolutely, make sure to move out any data you need to keep first though :P (I'm assuming D drive is an HD and not a cdrom, floppy, or the like, though installing to external HDs works as well). | 10:06 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Or even to usb drives, though they aren't made for the sort of file access operating systems do, so using one for that could shorten it's life considerably. | 10:06 |
| Arvendu | yea ofc ...:P and what about License validity @ kunji | 10:07 |

| Arvendu | tx then downloadin start 12.04 | 10:09 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Ah, Ubuntu uses an open source license (I forget which one though), but it's completely free, you can use it basically as you wish. | 10:09 |
| Arvendu | which one is better 12.04 or 12.10 .. | 10:09 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Umm, one thing to be careful of is if you live in a country that bans the import of encryption algorithms. | 10:09 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Neither is better per se, they have different purposes. | 10:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Arvendu 12.04 has longer support, but they're both good | 10:10 |
| kunji | Arvendu: 12.04 is an LTS release, so it will generally be more stable, and it will be supported for I think 5 years | 10:10 |
| Arvendu | i just want to use for basic purpose ...like surfing watching videos etc | 10:10 |
| kunji | Arvendu: 12.10 is the newer version, and it not LTS, so I think it is supported for 2 years (I might be remembering wrong though). There is a new release every 6 months. | 10:11 |
| kunji | Arvendu: And a new LTS (Long Term Support) release every 2 years. | 10:11 |

| kunji | Arvendu: Usually, there are some cases where they do not, but they work out of the box on like 95% of the hardware I try these days. | 10:13 |
| kunji | Arvendu: Wireless is what people have trouble with most often | 10:14 |

| jeyem | hi im new to ubuntu, just want to ask something | 11:06 |
| ikonia | jeyem: just ask | 11:06 |
| jeyem | i have a lenovo think pad, i tried installing the new VMw are and i did try everything in the ubuntu forums but i still get the message that my system doesnt support 64x | 11:07 |
| ranxi_ | hello i have a problem with my graphic card. I am totally new to ubuntu. I was trying to install the proper ati drivers and it looks like i totally screwed up. Now i can't see my desktop. Going into terminal and this channel have been all i could do. | 11:10 |
| M4573R | . | 11:11 |
| M4573R | can i have" ntfs" partitions beside "ext4" partitions in gnu/linux? | 11:14 |
| theadmin | M4573R: Sure | 11:14 |
| theadmin | M4573R: You can't install to NTFS or FAT though (needs to be a UNIX filesystem), but you can access about any filesystem imaginable | 11:15 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: sudo apt-get remove fglrx\* | 11:15 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: That will roll you back to the default driver | 11:15 |
| jeyem | question admin, is there a way to install the new VMware even if my system doesnt support 64x | 11:16 |
| theadmin | jeyem: I dunno about VMWare. Why not use Virtualbox? It works fine on 32-bit systems. | 11:16 |
| ranxi_ | can i do these without quitting irc? | 11:16 |
| kunji | ranxi: What did you do to try and install them? | 11:16 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: uh, sure, don't see why not | 11:16 |
| jeyem | i did but the backtrack linux distro doesnt have an image in virtualbox | 11:17 |
| M4573R | ...which is better? (i mean for best performance ) erase all my disk and change file system to "ext4" or keep 2 partitions "ntfs" beside ? | 11:17 |
| theadmin | jeyem: Don't need one, just grab the ISO and boot the Virtualbox VM from it | 11:17 |
| kunji | ranxi: Can you view this page someplace? http://askubuntu.com/questions/206228/compiz-has-broken-after-installing-12-10-with-ati-catalyst-12-10-drivers If so, follow the directions for Uninstalling the ATI driver, assuming it was installed. | 11:18 |
| jeyem | thanks bro | 11:18 |
| theadmin | M4573R: ext4 performs better than NTFS for sure. | 11:18 |
| ranxi_ | kunji: actually i have tried everything i have found on the issue. Including creating my debpackage which i have downloaded atis website. | 11:19 |
| M4573R | so you suggest ext4 file system for all disk? | 11:19 |
| kunji | ranxi: So your graphics is probably it really bad shape, so REMOVE the proprietary driver. | 11:19 |
| theadmin | M4573R: Depends on other things really. Does the disk need to be readable by Windows? | 11:20 |
| Umair | how to fix broken system packages on 12.10? | 11:20 |
| ranxi_ | theadmin: how can i do this? | 11:20 |
| fatima | hello can anyone help me please? | 11:20 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: Just enter the command into any terminal you can access | 11:20 |
| Alocer | sudo apt-get install -f | 11:20 |
| ranxi_ | kunji: and how should i do this? | 11:21 |
| Umair | Alocer: it says 2 no upgraded | 11:21 |
| kunji | ranxi: I linked the site, under the header Uninstall ATI driver, sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fgl..... etc.. | 11:21 |
| Alocer | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:22 |
| M4573R | no i don't want to have windows! | 11:22 |
| fatima | I'm trying to enter the world f Ubuntu for the first time and I instaled it on an Asus A6, but now I'm not able to have wireless. Can Anyone help me? | 11:22 |

| jeyem | admin last question, my laptop uses a broadcom driver and i found out many of us are having problems in regards to wifi connection, we get disconnected every 20 - 30 mins. in the forums the ask us to change the router from N to b or g but nothing changes we still get disconnected | 11:23 |
| Umair | Alocer: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded | 11:23 |
| Umair | with update and upgrade | 11:23 |
| Alocer | ok sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:23 |
| M4573R | theadmin .....i don't want to have windows ........i want just instal gnu/linux | 11:23 |
| theadmin | jeyem: Huh. I had no such problems with broadcom drivers... Dunno | 11:23 |
| kunji | ranxi: Also, one of the methods you tried may have been a working method, but may have failed because of changes made by things you had already tried that didn't work. So for this kind of thing, try only one thing at a time, and make sure to undo everything before trying then next one. | 11:23 |
| theadmin | M4573R: Okay, then just make the whole drive ext4 | 11:23 |
| jeyem | oh ok | 11:23 |
| theadmin | M4573R: Well, actually, better go for two ext4 partitions (/ and /home) and one swap. | 11:24 |
| M4573R | what about (/var) do you suggest ext4 for it?or something else? | 11:24 |
| Umair | Alocer: it's downloading those 2 missing packages | 11:24 |
| kunji | jeyem: Is that particular to 12.04? Or rather the kernel in 12.04? | 11:24 |
| theadmin | M4573R: I don't see any reason to put /var on a separate filesystem, actually... | 11:25 |
| jeyem | kunji: i really dont know, tried everything i was able to read but it seems that nothing works. | 11:25 |
| kunji | jeyem: Were you searching for exactly your chip? | 11:26 |
| woo | How could I take a snapshot of my current operating system in order to restore it later? | 11:26 |
| jeyem | i was able to install the wireless firmware | 11:26 |
| Umair | Alocer: you think I'm good to do apt-get install build-essential now? | 11:27 |
| ranxi_ | theadmin: i have tried and i received an error. It says "there are no instances of module fglrx. | 11:27 |
| kunji | woo: ddrescue or dd_rescue, umm, one of them is gnu ddrescue, both should work, the gnu version is a bit better. | 11:27 |
| opalepatrick | trying to copy windows docs from ntfs via ubuntu to external hard drive. If I drag and drop, it looks like its done the job, but plugged into a windows laptop there is just one file. I tried cp via terminal but get cp: omitting directory the one I want to copy) any ideas? | 11:27 |
| theadmin | opalepatrick: cp -r | 11:27 |
| M4573R | ok good ..............thanx | 11:27 |
| woo | ty kunji | 11:27 |
| opalepatrick | doh theadmin | 11:28 |
| kunji | jeyem: Right, but it's dropping, correct? | 11:28 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: Uh, that doesn't look like an error, more of a warning to me | 11:28 |
| jeyem | yes | 11:28 |
| theadmin | ranxi_: Try rebooting and see if it works now | 11:28 |
| jeyem | i tried restart the network-manager after i get disconnected, but its a fail | 11:29 |
| kunji | jeyem: Searching the exact device will make it much easier to find any existing bug report for the card, or if there is not one, then it is information that should be provided as part of a bug report | 11:29 |
| Umair | Alocer: tried installing build-essential and it's giving same error "Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) but it is not going to be installed" | 11:29 |
| jeyem | kunji: ok ill search for that. thanks bro | 11:30 |
| ranxi_ | theadmin: alright. I hope i will be back here if it does not work. | 11:31 |
| woo | kunji: so apt-get install ddrescue -> dd_rescue && apt-get install gddrescue -> ddrescue. :) | 11:31 |
| kunji | jeyem: You can find the device in the output of lspci for pci cards, or in lsusb for dongles | 11:31 |
| kunji | woo: Oh, you don't need them both, I would go with just ddrescue | 11:32 |
| M4573R | theadmin ........and what a bout partitions if i want to have 2 distros...is it better that i installeach of them to 1 partition ( for example:ubuntu in /sda1 and arch in /sda2)with seperate " /home"? | 11:32 |
| M4573R | :) | 11:33 |
| woo | kunji: I used apt-get autoremove ddrescue and kept the gnu | 11:33 |
| theadmin | M4573R: The idea is to have different / and the same /home, actually, for example: /dev/sda1 -> arch's /, /dev/sda2 -> Ubuntu's /, /dev/sda3 -> /home (for both) | 11:33 |
| fatima | I'm not understanding how to do it! | 11:33 |
| woo | kunji: im on the gnu site learning about it. | 11:33 |
| theadmin | M4573R: That way you can keep application configuration across distros (browser bookmarks, history, etc) | 11:34 |
| M4573R | ok...nice | 11:34 |
| kunji | woo: That would be my preferred tool, there's lots of other stuff as well though | 11:34 |
| kunji | !backup | woo | 11:34 |
| ubottu | woo: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 11:34 |
| M4573R | and if i want to remove on of distros which is better (shared home....or seperate home)? | 11:35 |
| khussein78 | can I run two applications using X over ssh tunnel | 11:35 |
| khussein78 | at the same time | 11:35 |
| kunji | khussein78: yes | 11:35 |
| theadmin | M4573R: Won't matter | 11:35 |
| fatima | I'm trying to enter the world f Ubuntu for the first time and I instaled it on an Asus A6, but now I'm not able to have wireless. Can Anyone help me? Hi really don't know how to do it | 11:36 |
| theadmin | M4573R: There's nothing distro-specific at all stored in /home | 11:36 |
| woo | kunji: im going to use kickstart and ddrescue. If I remember last time I used kickstart on an ubuntu machine I messed it up. | 11:36 |

| Halite | I like Ubuntu | 11:52 |
| Guest72577 | ok I have problems with libflac++6:amd64 | 11:52 |

| Guest72577 | libflac++6:amd64 | 11:53 |
| theadmin | jonah: That has nothing to do with sudo... You sure you don't mean apt-get? | 11:53 |
| Umair | gvo: can you tell me why this is happening because ignoring depends is not a good option I think | 11:53 |
| gvo | Umair: But it could break something. | 11:53 |
| jonah | theadmin: Hi yes but I mean I can't install anything as it says something already has the admin lock | 11:53 |
| * Halite happy | 11:54 | |

| gvo | 12.04 and 10.04 | 11:54 |
| jonah | theadmin: also does it with aptitude, so something has locked my dpkg... | 11:54 |
| lasers | martinPL: With find's -exec *command* -- Maybe? Or use xargs. | 11:54 |
| Umair | gvo: which is better of them? | 11:54 |
| theadmin | jonah: Try removing that file (sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock) and then running sudo apt-get -f install | 11:55 |
| Guest72577 | lasers? | 11:55 |
| day | gvo: yeah the longterm version work really well. | 11:55 |
| Guest72577 | any one? | 11:55 |
| gvo | Umair: Both are lts 12.04 is newer if you replace Unity with something reasonable. | 11:55 |

| Umair | I will try 12.04 now then | 11:56 |

| Guest88890 | what is? | 12:03 |
| Guest88890 | help | 12:03 |
| gvo | Helmuthonian: I suspect you're missing a development package. | 12:03 |
| Guest72577 | it happens with apt-get | 12:03 |
| Helmuthonian | gvo: oooo I'll try this thanks | 12:04 |
| gvo | Helmuthonian: Look for a xxx-dev where xxx is the dbus lib/program that's missing. | 12:04 |
| kunji | martinPL:Well this isn't the best way I'm sure, but you could use sed to turn that list into a file containing lines that each say: chmod 664 filename; Then make the file executable and run it to change the permissions. | 12:04 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: right, so that's a different question than what you asked | 12:04 |
| gvo | Helmuthonian: Usually when ./configure throws an error its a missing -dev package. | 12:05 |
| yeehaw | Guest72577: Did you try an apt-get update before installing? | 12:05 |
| Guest72577 | ok how do i fix it | 12:05 |
| Guest72577 | ? | 12:05 |
| Guest72577 | yes i tried that | 12:05 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: have you run the auto-remove as the error suggested ? | 12:05 |
| Guest72577 | yes i tried | 12:05 |
| martinPL | kunji, I have just tried the find -exec and it seems to work - the file list is really long so it hasnt finished yet, but no errors so far ;) thanks for the help | 12:05 |

| gvo | No backslash | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: what's the problem | 12:08 |
| Star_Light | ikonia I have an unfair ban from one channel | 12:08 |
| Star_Light | one year ago | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: so try removing libflac++6:amd64 and ubuntu kernel channel | 12:08 |
| makara | hi. again with Nautilus, 2 things. It is possible to hide the folder pane instead of the tree pane? | 12:08 |
| yeehaw | Guest72577: You could try purging it, with dpkg --purge libflac++6:amd64 | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: if you join #ubuntu-ops we can talk about it | 12:08 |
| Star_Light | ok thank you | 12:09 |
| Guest72577 | how do i remove libflac and kernel channel? | 12:09 |
| kunji | ikonia: I thought #freenode dealt with that stuff? | 12:09 |
| Star_Light | I am going to ubuntu-ops | 12:09 |
| ikonia | kunji: not the ubuntu channels, no | 12:09 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: just put them on one line for remove of purge | 12:09 |
| M4573R | so i should divide my Disk to these : dev/sda1/(root & boot & /var ) dev/sda2 (home) no needed seperate partitions for keeping our files? | 12:10 |
| kunji | ikonia: Generally I mean, it wasn't clear to me it was an Ubuntu channel he was talking about. | 12:10 |
| ikonia | kunji: me neither, but we'll find out when he joins #ubuntu-ops | 12:10 |
| kunji | ikonia: yeps ^_^ | 12:10 |
| yeehaw | M4573R: What are you planning on using Ubuntu for? As a Desktop? | 12:10 |
| Guest72577 | tried purge returns error | 12:10 |
| ikonia | M4573R: /root should not be a seperate partition | 12:10 |
| Guest72577 | package is in a very bad incosistent state | 12:10 |
| M4573R | so what ikonia.........? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: try running it through the gui | 12:11 |
| ikonia | M4573R: so don't put it on a sepreate partition | 12:11 |
| Guest72577 | which gui? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: whatever package manager gui you are using | 12:11 |
| Guest72577 | ok thanks let me try | 12:11 |
| Star_Light | ikonia, there is no one in the room :( | 12:12 |
| gvo | Guest72577: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: try again | 12:12 |
| ikonia | Star_Light: yes there is, it's #ubuntu-ops | 12:12 |
| Guest72577 | GUI cant remove it either | 12:12 |
| makara | and why whenever I open Nautilus does the name column always expand way off to the right. I always have to scroll and reduce | 12:13 |

| M4573R | ikonia ......... i have a disk...right? and i want to have just ubuntu(and not alongside with windows) sould i have seperated partitions for keeping my files or this is not necessary? | 12:15 |
| ikonia | M4573R: totally up to you | 12:16 |
| ikonia | pros/cons to both | 12:16 |
| M4573R | which way is better? | 12:16 |
| Guest72577 | thanks very much ikonia it worked | 12:16 |
| ikonia | M4573R: totally up to you | 12:16 |
| Guest72577 | and thanks gvo | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Guest72577: it was gvo that helped | 12:16 |
| Guest72577 | ok thanks both of you :) | 12:16 |
| yeehaw | ikonia: What cons are there to using seperate partitions? I think it would be advisable to keep /home on a separate partition at least | 12:17 |
| makara | gvo, kindof | 12:18 |
| kunji | M4573R: I would recommend it myself, for two reasons. It can simplify backing up just your user data, and if you're installing more than one distro they can share the same /home partition. | 12:18 |
| wdp | yeehaw, ack. | 12:18 |
| ikonia | yeehaw: totally up to you | 12:18 |
| ikonia | /home should not be shared between different distros | 12:18 |
| gvo | makara: it's doing a resize based on the length of the file name. Rename the file. | 12:18 |
| ikonia | the different versions of gnome and shells in /home should not be shared | 12:18 |
| makara | gvo, when I go to another folder it doesn't resize the column again | 12:19 |
| makara | gvo, but sometimes it does. Inconsistent | 12:19 |
| kunji | ikonia: Oh, hmm, interesting | 12:19 |
| mirak | hi | 12:19 |
| mirak | i changed my cdrom drive, and now it seems it's referenced as /dev/cdrom1 instead of /dev/cdrom | 12:19 |
| disharmonic | Well the con for separate partitions is that it's harder to manage your diskspace that way. | 12:20 |
| gvo | makara: Sounds like a bug. | 12:21 |
| yeehaw | ikonia: Ok, I see your point. | 12:21 |
| kunji | ikonia: You mean for the same DE right? Because for different ones I don't see how it would be different than having multiple DEs installed on one distro. | 12:21 |
| makara | it would be great if I could set the column size no matter what the content. I want an explorer that feels solid. | 12:21 |
| ikonia | kunji: doesn't have to be the de - the .profile for the shell, the .compiz directory etc etc | 12:22 |
| makara | trying to resize the tree pane is also a pain. The new space-saving scrollbar keeps popping up | 12:23 |
| kunji | ikonia: Hmm, I see what you mean | 12:23 |
| matlock | guys, i got ubuntu up on an eeepad | 12:23 |
| Jpmh | I have a running ubuntu system. I have a working usb stick with lubuntu which seems rather good. How do I install it side by side with my ubuntu on my hard drive? | 12:23 |
| matlock | but it's the SL 101, and the onboard keyboard don't work | 12:23 |
| matlock | any help? | 12:23 |
| yeehaw | matlock: If I look at the other people on the internet who have tried it, your probably out of luck. What does lsusb give you? (via paste.ubuntu.com please) | 12:26 |
| matlock | heh | 12:27 |
| matlock | can't internet on it | 12:27 |

| yeehaw | matlock: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28379/where-are-android-drivers-located-in-the-system Says that you would probably need to recompile the keyboard driver in the kernel | 12:31 |

| matlock | hmm, i wonder if there's anything to the Linux4Tegra associated with this then.. thx for the thread man!! | 12:32 |
| kunji | F1skr: I typically use the driver in the repos, unless there was a security fix, or some particular reason I should use a newer driver than that. | 12:33 |

| kunji | Guest74003: Sounds like you should ask your bro | 12:40 |
| Guest74003 | <kunji> I thought this a open chat room ...Who will help beginners | 12:41 |
| yeehaw | matlock: I'm no developer, but it should be possible. I think you would have dependency problems because of different versions e.g.. | 12:42 |

| mand_ | Hi, how can I remove entries from the Unity launcher? Somehow it imported old gnome panel custom launchers during upgrade and now is too stupid to keep them apart | 12:42 |
| kunji | Guest74003: It is, but you should really have a particular question in mind. I would say it's more of a support channel than open chat, open chat would be in #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:42 |
| woo | Guest74003: try #freenode to set up your username and password for IRC | 12:42 |
| mand_ | eg. I start a gnome terminal and it thinks I started a custom vnc session | 12:42 |
| mand_ | Just because my custom VNC launcher also uses Gnome terminal | 12:43 |
| Guest74003 | :) | 12:43 |
| 16WAAEUPB | I believe that Android uses a forked Linux kernel and I'm not really sure they're fully compatible at all. | 12:43 |
| kunji | matlock: Why would you want to do that? It's possible, but the devices would be ARM, so what good would compiling them amd64 or i386 do? Unless there's a particular piece of hardware from your phone you want to use on your desktop install. | 12:44 |
| matlock | well Linux for Tegra uses the 12.04 filesystem, and I'm wondering if that would help me at all.. or if i'm barking up the wrong tree. | 12:44 |
| 16WAAEUPB | 12.04 filesystem?.. | 12:44 |

| matlock | link is above, the nvidia one | 12:46 |
| OerHeks | stakt, try #centos | 12:47 |
| matlock | I know there's a driver package there too, but not sure if it includes modules specific for the eeepad (most likely not) | 12:47 |
| yeehaw | makara: No, they are talking about installing linux on tegra devices. They happen too use the Ubuntu filesystem, but that's not kernel related. So that would not help you with the driver | 12:47 |
| kunji | matlock: Oh, that, still you would not recompile for that usually. That should be compiled for ARM, and recompiling for Ubuntu to run on that device would still be ARM | 12:47 |
| 16WAAEUPB | matlock, they're talking about installing their own Linux flavor using a host running Ubuntu. | 12:47 |
| matlock | no | 12:47 |
| makara | yeehaw, ok | 12:47 |
| klaatu_ | ma cosa cazzo è | 12:47 |
| kunji | matlock: The ubuntu team right now is also using the android kernel for ubuntu installs on devices, and hence the same modules | 12:47 |

| disharmonic | iceroot: well apt-cache doesn't display licensing info. Not sure if there is a way | 12:56 |
| OerHeks | iceroot " apt-cache show python " does not show license info, so i think apt-get won't show either | 12:56 |
| 16WAAEUPB | datsmoida, I'd start with checking the place where phpmyadmin stores it's authentication data. | 12:56 |

| jonah | defo got something wrong | 12:58 |
| theadmin | iceroot: If that's of any help, the "vrms" tool can help detect any non-free software installed on your system. | 12:58 |
| disharmonic | OerHeks: i agree, it should be included in apt-cache showpkg | 12:58 |
| iceroot | kunji: i need a generic way for all installed packages to see if they are GNU related to find out how much GNU/Linux is in Ubuntu :) i guess i will write a script to parse the local files | 12:59 |
| iceroot | so that we will see x% of all installed default packages are GNU | 12:59 |
| kunji | iceroot: Ah regexs and sed? Fun times | 13:00 |
| arand | iceroot: You can use the "cupt" package manager instead, "cupt copyright packagename". | 13:00 |
| iceroot | kunji: because of that i asked for an easy way with apt-get and so on :) | 13:00 |
| iceroot | arand: thanks that sounds interesting | 13:00 |
| kunji | iceroot: Hmm, which do you count as a default system? With or without the checkbox for the nonfree packages? | 13:01 |
| iceroot | kunji: a default ubuntu 12.04 unity installation | 13:01 |
| 16WAAEUPB | Or you could write your own package manager! Now this is fun times. | 13:01 |
| kunji | iceroot: Yeah, but they ask during the install, also about encryption and lvm, so I think you can end up with a few different sets of packages. | 13:02 |
| iceroot | kunji: that is not a default installation | 13:03 |
| iceroot | kunji: imo | 13:03 |
| arand | iceroot: I wouldn't suggest using cupt for normal package management though, but it's handy for that prticular thing. | 13:03 |

| Malinuss | hello. So I installed ubuntu "mini". And after that I installed the gnome-desktop, or was it unity-desktop? I don't remember, neverless, it looks completly like the "normal" ubunut installation. Now, is there actually any software that isn't installed there, that is installed with the normal ubuntu installation? | 13:04 |
| iceroot | Malinuss: depending which package you installed for your desktop, if it was ubuntu-desktop you will have the same packages as a normal installation | 13:04 |
| Malinuss | iceroot, I think it might have been ubuntu-desktop. So right now, my installation is precisly the same, as if I just used the "normal" installation? | 13:05 |
| iceroot | Malinuss: yes | 13:05 |
| Malinuss | I see, thanks | 13:06 |
| iceroot | Malinuss: the normal installation is "ubuntu-minimal", "ubuntu-base" and "ubuntu-desktop" | 13:06 |
| iceroot | Malinuss: you are missing ubuntu-desktop on the minimal-installation | 13:06 |
| iceroot | Malinuss: maybe minimal will be not using ubuntu-base but ubuntu-desktop will pull that package, so its the same at the end | 13:07 |

| pranav | i used to add many stuffs in gnome top panel by right clicking and "add to panel" but does unity lacks this feature. there is a menu instead ? | 13:29 |
| MusikPolice | pranav i'm having that problem as well | 13:30 |
| Malinuss | iceroot, okay, thanks for the clearing up. One last thing - so after installing the minimal installation, but I want the "desktop ubuntu" look, without all the software. How would I go about that? Install gnome and what more? | 13:30 |
| theadmin | pranav: There's no such functionality in Unity, yes, applets are deprecated by GNOME3 in general. If you want functionality similar to GNOME 2, I suggest using Xubuntu (or just installing Xfce) | 13:30 |
| MusikPolice | Malinuss: I've selectively installed the packages that I need, but also found a helpful guide here http://debianhelp.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-12-10-aka-quantal-quetzal/ | 13:31 |
| GermainZ|Phone | (reposting because a bunch of new people logged in) [15:11] (GermainZ|Phone) Hey guys, I'm having a few issues... Not sure why, probably some drivers issues. Most Fn keys have no effect (e.g. Keyboard illumination, brightness), others show popups correctly (e.g. Sound) but don't actually do anything... (sound and brightness are always locked to the max, for example). Any ideas? | 13:31 |
| MusikPolice | theadmin: what about the clock and widgets that appear in the top right-hand corner of a stock install? I've done a stripped down install of the desktop, and those weren't included | 13:31 |
| pranav | theadmin: MusikPolice hope it comes the next version :) | 13:31 |
| theadmin | pranav: Will not. | 13:31 |
| theadmin | pranav: The GNOME team got rid of applets because they want to provide simplicity and beleive too many options confuse users... and probably because they smoke something really strong, too :/ | 13:32 |
| theadmin | pranav: Just use Xfce, it's great and looks and works almost exactly like gnome2 | 13:32 |
| pranav | but then again the left panel in unity is so useful for stacking many icons | 13:33 |
| MusikPolice | theadmin, pravnav: sounds about right. but there are some applets up there. not application specific, but for network, battery, the user menu etc. what package is that in? | 13:33 |
| GermainZ|Phone | You can do the same in xfce | 13:33 |
| arand | theadmin: It's pretty easy to add custom applets via extensions though. | 13:33 |
| GermainZ|Phone | You need to add a desk bar panel if I'm not mistaken | 13:33 |
| theadmin | MusikPolice: Look at the packages starting with "indicator-" for those. For instance, the clock is indicator-datetime | 13:33 |
| MusikPolice | i basically just want my clock back, and the logout/shutdown buttons | 13:33 |
| MusikPolice | theadmin: thank you, i'll look into those | 13:34 |
| pranav | theadmin: "indicator-" ok :) | 13:34 |
| pranav | will also try xfce desktop again.. | 13:34 |
| pokkerface | hi all, could anyone got working sopcast or maze in ubuntu 12.10? | 13:35 |
| theadmin | pranav: Those still don't provide the exact same functionality as gnome2 applets. Seriously, for a similar feel, just use Xfce. I'll shut up now though because I already said that 3 times and feel like I'm being annoying | 13:35 |
| Em_ | I just installed Ubuntu 12.10, but my Wireless and Ethernet are port are not working. What am I supposed to do now? | 13:35 |
| pranav | theadmin: i was a fan of lightweight xfce like 3 years before. i will try it. thanks again :) | 13:36 |
| theadmin | pranav: :) There's a version of Ubuntu that comes with Xfce preinstalled, it's called Xubuntu -- works great for me, it's the one I use. Took a while to get U1 working on Xfce though but I got that as well :) | 13:36 |
| pranav | theadmin: yup, xubuntu was the only option for me back with 256MB ram :P | 13:38 |
| theadmin | pranav: Ouch, that sounds pretty evil | 13:38 |
| GermainZ|Phone | I have xubuntu with 8gb of ram | 13:38 |

| pranav | don't you guys think that "launcher" in unity is quicker to navigate then "cairo-dock" in gnome using touchpad ? *any views* ? | 13:47 |
| TrolLlet | then that means i need to manually reboot? | 13:47 |

| arand | TrolLlet: Yeah, see grub-set-default(8), I'm not sure you need to enable something in the grub cfg before that as well... | 13:54 |
| pranav | theadmin: hey, you told that there is this vertical stacking navigator in xfce as well, what should i install for it ? | 13:54 |
| TrolLlet | arand: thx for help.. was exactly what i was searching for | 13:54 |
| GermainZ|Phone_ | Right click a panel, add new panel, choose deskbar | 13:55 |
| GermainZ|Phone_ | @pranav | 13:55 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: too slow - is there some way I can install side-by-side like I cam install side-by-side with windoze | 13:55 |
| TrolLlet | arand: would i be going to install windows first then ubuntu or ubuntu first? | 13:55 |
| Dmnchild | If when setting up partitions, I mount them as /home/username/ would that limit the user to the space of that partition? | 13:56 |
| arand | TrolLlet: For a dual boot, it's better to install windows first (in almost all cases) | 13:57 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, as I said, easiest way is to install one OS, the add the meta packages of the other. when finished, just purge the one you don't want. OR, install in an extended partition i.e. "side by side" | 13:57 |
| TrolLlet | arand: Thank you! | 13:57 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: but that will not be a complete lubuntu install | 13:58 |
| theadmin | pranav: That's a part of Unity, I'm afraid it doesn't exist in Xfce. But, xfce4-panel provices similar functionality. You can configure the "Window Buttons" applet to not display window titles, for instance, and add a few launchers. Also, you can use docky, cairo-dock etc to get similar functionality as well | 13:58 |
| Gr0tB4gz | [@ubottu] thanks 4 that | 13:59 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, false. apt-get install lubuntu-desktop will add the lubuntu core to your pre-existing OS ... all packages and apps and artwork will be present | 14:00 |
| pranav | theadmin: doing.. | 14:00 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: but if for example one has an older kernel than the other? | 14:00 |
| MusikPolice | theadmin: thank you for your earlier help, i managed to get my applets back by installing the indicator-* packages that you recommended | 14:02 |
| pranav | MusikPolice: which did you install, CPU graph, temperature ? | 14:02 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, I'd advise running all updates and upgrades on your present OS first. If booting the other OS causes a Kernel conflict, boot an earlier kernel. FYI: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:02 |
| MusikPolice | theadmin: just a note though that the network indicator is broken somehow. it disabled all of my network interfaces and i had to manually re-enable them. i wouldn't recommend it to a new user | 14:02 |
| MusikPolice | pranav: i added sound, clock, and user I think | 14:02 |
| theadmin | MusikPolice: That's not exactly true, but yes, NetworkManager overrides most command-line-style configurations. | 14:03 |
| pranav | MusikPolice: those were there in my unity already | 14:03 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: ok - but whyy can't I install two linuxes if I can install linux and windoze? | 14:04 |
| MusikPolice | pranav: my situation is a bit different. i started with a headless server install and then added a barebones unity desktop. nice because you don't get any bloatware, but annoying because some of what i would consider *core* features are missing | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, you can! note that you can only use 4 mbr partitions on a mbr computer .... efi is different. | 14:05 |
| llutz | cfhowlett: "gpt is different" you also can use gpt on mbr/bios computers | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | llutz, noted. please advise jpmh on his project? | 14:06 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: ok - so how do I do it, since the installer does not give me the choice, | 14:07 |
| llutz | Jpmh: do manual partitioning, its no problem to have several linux-installations parallel. you just have to decide which bootmanager you want to have into the MBR | 14:08 |
| pranav | MusikPolice: nice. did u also tried LXDE (open box) hehe | 14:08 |
| Jpmh | llutz: perfect ty | 14:09 |
| guang_ | after i run command 'lsusb | grep -i 'bluetooth',it does not return anything.does it mean there is no bluetooth adapter on my notebook? | 14:09 |

The connection to my router always gets disconnected but when I'm in windows, which I'm currently using, it doesn't. | 14:09 |
| funch | Jpmh with a note that you can have linux on extended partition but windows will work on physical partition only, when you get into partitioning | 14:10 |
| matlock | actually | 14:10 |
| matlock | you can run windows from an img file | 14:10 |
| Jpmh | funch: ty - and windoze is long since gone anywy | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 14:11 |
| matlock | actually it's a vhd file | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, and all of the partition/mbr/gpt/extended stuff is precisely why I installed lxde into my Ubuntustudio. I can switch at will and/or purge lxde when I want | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, but that's just me. YMMV | 14:11 |
| Jpmh | cfhowlett: ty so much | 14:12 |
| cfhowlett | Jpmh, best of luck | 14:12 |
| ThinkT510 | cfhowlett: what does your choice of desktop environment have to do with partitioning? | 14:13 |

| ikonia | Em_: worth looking at your dns settings | 14:26 |
| jrib | Umair: you don't want to use "apt-cache search"? | 14:26 |
| Umair | I was thinking if there is some search engine website | 14:26 |
| ikonia | search for what ? | 14:26 |
| jrib | Umair: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 14:26 |
| chiliblue | alacart keeps crashing on my when I try and add a new item. | 14:27 |
| Umair | jrib: so I can find anything here which I can install with apt-get install package right? | 14:27 |
| ikonia | Umair: no, that is s list of packages | 14:28 |
| ikonia | that does not mean all are available for installation/compatability with your current distro version | 14:28 |
| jrib | Umair: it searches ubuntu's official repositories. I don't see why one would not use apt-cache search to search all of their enabled repositories instead | 14:28 |
| MusikPolice | Em_: try sudo ifconfig from the terminal, see if your wireless adaptor is getting an ip address | 14:28 |
| janisozaur | hi, i (dis)connect my webcam pretty often, every time i do that, i have to select my camera's mic. is it possible to have PA select it whenever it is connected? | 14:28 |
| Umair | jrib: you're right | 14:28 |
| MusikPolice | Em_: you can reset your wireless adaptor with sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 | 14:29 |
| Umair | but does it guarantee to search everything? | 14:29 |
| MusikPolice | Em_: if that doesn't work, check if there's a hardware switch on your laptop that is disabling the adaptor. | 14:29 |
| Umair | or just cached ones? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | Umair: apt-cache will search everything that is in your current repo | 14:29 |
| Umair | thanks got it | 14:29 |
| cfhowlett | Umair, is there a specific package you're seeking? | 14:30 |
| Umair | I was looking for how python and python-dev are different | 14:30 |
| ikonia | Umair: one contains the binaries, the other the devlopment info, such as headers | 14:31 |
| ikonia | hence the name -dev | 14:31 |
| Umair | you know when I installed pypy which is python package and then Scrapy by pypy, I read it requires python-dev | 14:32 |
| ikonia | so ? | 14:32 |
| ikonia | the dependency checker within the package manager/packages will handle that | 14:32 |
| Umair | I'm currently testing this myself but not sure if that's true. It makes me think why this would need dev version whereas this is just for dev stuff | 14:32 |
| chiliblue | my alacarte issue seems to be python related too. is there any known issues with alacarte that I have missed | 14:33 |
| parshant | how to install euca2ools | 14:33 |

| ikonia | parshant: is that an ubuntu package / | 14:33 |
| ikonia | ? | 14:33 |
| parshant | yes | 14:33 |
| ikonia | parshant: open pakage manager, find package, click install | 14:33 |
| parshant | sudo apt get install euca2ools | 14:34 |

| parshant | where is package manager | 14:34 |
| plaYer2k | iam looking for someone who could help me with configuring WizardPen under ubuntu 12.04 | 14:34 |
| ikonia | parshant: I sugest you read https://help.ubuntu.com to learn the basics of using the desktop | 14:35 |
| Umair | how can I check if I have python-dev installed or not? I can check python is installed by checking its version | 14:35 |
| ikonia | Umair: why does it matter ? just install the package you want, and it will auto install the dependencies that are missing | 14:35 |
| theadmin | Umair: You can do "sudo apt-get install python-dev" and see if that installs anything... | 14:36 |
| parshant | no euca2ools package is found, | 14:36 |
| ikonia | parshant: then it's not an ubuntu package | 14:36 |
| Umair | I installed Scrapy and because it depends on Twisted which it tried to install and failed with gcc code 1 | 14:36 |
| theadmin | !info euca2ools | ikonia, parshant | 14:36 |
| ubottu | ikonia, parshant: euca2ools (source: euca2ools): managing cloud instances for Eucalyptus. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.2-1ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 148 kB, installed size 835 kB | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Umair: how did you install scrappy | 14:36 |
| ikonia | parshant: there you go, then the package is there | 14:37 |
| Umair | pip install Scrapy. but under virtualenv | 14:37 |
| theadmin | parshant: Run "sudo apt-get update" then, sounds like you're missing package lists | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Umair: pip ? | 14:37 |
| Umair | pypy is a package manager for python | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Umair: right, so that's no the ubuntu package manager | 14:37 |
| Umair | pip is command for pypy | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Umair: so it won't be aware of any ubuntu packages | 14:37 |
| Umair | are you sure? | 14:38 |
| Umair | it requires Python to run | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Umair: does it deal with .deb packages ? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Umair: reuquiring python to run, does not make it a deb package manager intergrated into the ubuntu package system | 14:38 |
| Umair | I'm not sure if it deals with .deb | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Umair: then it won't be aware of ubuntu packages | 14:39 |
| theadmin | ikonia: It's not a deb package manager, it installs python "packages" which are basically sets of python modules | 14:39 |
| ikonia | theadmin: which makes sense | 14:39 |
| theadmin | ikonia: Yep. | 14:39 |
| woo | llutz: :) this is going to take a really long time over wifi huh? | 14:39 |
| Umair | right | 14:39 |
| llutz | woo: sure, depends on the image-size. imageing wihtout gbit-network is a pita | 14:40 |
| Umair | so when it says it failed with gcc code 1 it doesn't mean it will be solved by installing python-dev | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Umair: it means it's trying to compile something, hence gcc | 14:40 |
| woo | llutz: to safely exit dd its crtl+c? | 14:40 |
| llutz | woo: yes | 14:40 |
| woo | ty | llutz | 14:40 |
| Umair | there is a chance compilation would need python-dev? | 14:41 |

| Umair | so is there a way I can check if a particular package is installed already? | 14:41 |
| jrib | Umair: apt-cache policy | 14:42 |
| jrib | !apt | Umair | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Umair: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Umair: dpkg -l | grep python-dev | 14:42 |
| ikonia | Umair: or just try to install it...see if it installs | 14:42 |
| Umair | it just installed | 14:42 |
| Umair | how can I fix this gcc error? | 14:43 |
| woo | ThinkT510: I don't like using 802.11 for large transfers. was lazy at the beginning to not get up. so... but I understand | 14:43 |

| phoenixsampras | help!! how to dvd rip a DVD? | 14:46 |
| ikonia | !dvd | phoenixsampras | 14:46 |
| ubottu | phoenixsampras: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 14:46 |
| ikonia | phoenixsampras: check up on https://help.ubuntu.com for the basics of using multimedia tools | 14:46 |
| theadmin | phoenixsampras: There are numerous tools for this in the repos, the easiest one to use is probably k9copy | 14:47 |
| phoenixsampras | theadmin: and for gnome? | 14:47 |
| cfhowlett | phoenixsampras, also look into #ubuntustudio | 14:48 |
| theadmin | phoenixsampras: There are handbrake, dvd::rip and so on. But you can install k9copy in a gnome environment as well, nothing to stop you from doing that. I just don't find others intuitive/easy to use. | 14:48 |

| war59312 | welcome back | 14:58 |
| scratchy_ | But today's technology and social media is kinda forcing me back into my old ways | 14:59 |
| scratchy_ | I need a little freshning up course though | 14:59 |
| scratchy_ | XD | 14:59 |

| cfhowlett | scratchy_, greetings. this channel's focus is ubuntu support. What are your questions? | 14:59 |
| scratchy_ | Well, my question is the following, Just installed ubuntu on a laptop with some GPU troubles | 15:00 |
| llutz | woo yes | 15:00 |
| akyama | @indonesianbacktrack.or.id | 15:00 |
| llutz | woo:or just: sudo dd if=/dev/sda | ssh user@server 'dd of=sda.img' | 15:00 |
| woo | llutz: can I script pws into the script?? | 15:00 |
| scratchy_ | do you have any advice for me to install my desktop system with the least possible graphical resources | 15:00 |
| scratchy_ | like a text only system | 15:00 |
| llutz | woo: no, ssh won't take passwords from commandline (without hacks) | 15:01 |
| cfhowlett | scratchy_, what kind of problems are you having??? | 15:01 |
| scratchy_ | Well I blew out my 3d graphics acceleration a while ago on this awesome laptop. Still works fine with text though | 15:01 |
| scratchy_ | So i want to use ubuntu again to up my linux skills, so dont really need the graphical desktop | 15:02 |
| scratchy_ | is there a way to deinstall it and still use ubuntu to the fullest ? | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | scratchy_, you installed ubuntu12.04 | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | ? | 15:02 |
| scratchy_ | yeah, should I have installed another version ? | 15:03 |

| scratchy_ | One more question for you awesome support guys | 15:03 |
| scratchy_ | Is there a channel where I can talk linux and ubuntu without having questions | 15:04 |
| scratchy_ | I mean like just topical chat | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | scratchy_, ubuntu 12.04 has unity which requires a gpu. Not sure but I think perhaps lxde or xfce desktop interfaces less and MIGHT fly with a hobbled gpu | 15:04 |
| ThinkT510 | scratchy_: #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:04 |
| war59312 | sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /media/RAID NOT working but no error either.. ugh! | 15:04 |
| scratchy_ | ok kewl :) | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | scratchy_, best of luck | 15:04 |
| scratchy_ | Yeah I was thinking of installing gentoo | 15:04 |
| scratchy_ | but then I remembered the hassle with the USE enviro's | 15:05 |
| scratchy_ | so kinda dont wanna go through that again lol | 15:05 |
| scratchy_ | So maybe a minimal install of ubuntu would do the trick | 15:05 |
| r_a_f | unity is only a candy - not require to anything | 15:05 |
| STMelon | scratchy_: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | scratchy_, if you can get a command line, try sudo apt-get xfce && sudo apt-get install lxde then logout, login and choose one or the other to test | 15:05 |
| scratchy_ | is xfce still out there ? | 15:06 |
| scratchy_ | awesome :) | 15:06 |
| scratchy_ | Ok Thanks for the tip...Im gonna try it out | 15:06 |

| dedunu | with memory | 15:13 |
| dedunu | then i installed xfce | 15:13 |
| war59312 | is rc.local really the best place for me to be mounting network drives... fstab is a no no.. don't want it print text on bootup that it cant access them.. text is still print even if using the _netdev option. | 15:14 |

| Seagull | cfhowlett, If i understand you, additionl drivers is a GUI tool? I haven't any GUI installed. just a little console server. | 15:32 |
| cfhowlett | Seagull, I'm pretty sure if you just do the broadcom Linux STA driver, it will overwrite the previous driver. However, you could apt-purge the previous driver if you wih | 15:33 |
| cfhowlett | Seagull, understood. | 15:33 |
| phoenixsampras | im a dvd ripper... wohoo | 15:33 |
| dedunu | Malinuss did it work? | 15:34 |
| cfhowlett | Seagull, so I think the process would be to install the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA and see if that fixes things. If not, then purge the previous driver and reboot and try again. | 15:34 |

| Jeruvy | mojtaba, yes if you need help feel free to ask in #vmware. | 15:50 |
| Chiku|dc | SolarisBoy, I installed passenger gem | 15:50 |
| mojtaba | Jeruvy: ok, thanks | 15:50 |
| dinkel | histo, the very recent update of 12.04 killed my eeepc. no fully booting through because of graphics problem. any idea? | 15:51 |

| voldyman | cfhowlett, thanks. :) | 15:51 |
| cfhowlett | voldyman, and feel free to mail that old phone my way ... | 15:51 |
| SolarisBoy | Chiku|dc: you need to then run the binary which ships with the gem if it wasn't run yet to install the module - it may try to install nginx afaik | 15:51 |
| ioria | bat_ : well, if neither start works, maybe the problem is deeper | 15:51 |
| Chiku|dc | SolarisBoy, yes but it will compile new nginx which is not more the ubuntu package one ? | 15:52 |
| bat__ | ioria: yes, I got the same feeling. By any chance, do you know where is the log for 'service' ? | 15:52 |

| Naeblis | Hi. I'm suddenly having sound troubles in Ubuntu 11.04. Tried Troubleshooting, and ran a script to re-install all the ALSA related stuff, but hasn't worked. Help! | 15:52 |

| Naeblis | uhh....yeah | 15:54 |
| Naeblis | so no way I'm getting help for this version? | 15:54 |
| SolarisBoy | Chiku|dc: otherwise the way i have done it is to just compile nginx using the ruby module (sounds backwards but yea, no repo installed nginx), or you can try one of the repo's (ppas) out there that seem to provide the module and nginx as well in package form if you want to stick to the ubuntu methods. | 15:54 |
| Boreeas | For some reason, hibernation fails for me. The computer suspends, but when I boot it again, the saved state is lost. dmesg tells me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1633474/ | 15:54 |

| Chiku|dc | SolarisBoy, I will compile nginx with gem module | 15:55 |
| SolarisBoy | Chiku|dc: sounds food. | 15:56 |
| Chiku|dc | what about init.d script ? | 15:56 |
| SolarisBoy | *good =) | 15:56 |
| Naeblis | cfhowlett: thanks, but that's not an option at the moment. I might move in a few days. | 15:56 |
| Naeblis | :( | 15:56 |
| cfhowlett | Naeblis, ok then... | 15:56 |
| SolarisBoy | Chiku|dc: the nginx init script is pretty simple just repoint it to /opt where i believe it will install by default in the software compile | 15:56 |
| cfhowlett | Naeblis, any warning messages on your audio fail??? | 15:56 |
| Naeblis | cfhowlett: that's the weird part. The devices are all recognized, and usually, the ALSA script (which I got from a very helpful person on Ubuntu forums) always fixed everything, but it's not working. | 15:57 |
| Naeblis | cfhowlett: closest I got was that usergroup 63 (I think) doesn't exist | 15:57 |

| theuser | Can i prevent ubuntu from automatically start using a keyboard as an input device? | 16:20 |
| cfhowlett | ethanr, xubuntu or lubuntu are designed for low spec and older machines. either should work well. I'd suggest you install 12.04 for Long Term Support | 16:21 |
| ethanr | cfhowlett, i don | 16:21 |

| ethanr | dinkel | 16:22 |
| ethanr | i have the exact same hd config as you | 16:22 |
| dinkel | yes | 16:22 |
| escott | Boreeas, yeah everything looks ok with the swap partition itself. | 16:23 |
| invariant | dinkel, you can use bind mounts. | 16:23 |
| dinkel | invariant, bind mounts ... never heard of it | 16:23 |
| invariant | !bind | 16:23 |
| dinkel | ok | 16:23 |
| invariant | dinkel, just google it. | 16:23 |
| invariant | dinkel, it allows you to put e.g. your usr on your 16GB drive. | 16:24 |
| cfhowlett | 16:24 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 16:24 |
| escott | dinkel, an unsupported configuration is to put /usr on a different disk | 16:24 |
| invariant | cfhowlett, .... | 16:24 |
| dinkel | escott, alrigth | 16:24 |
| theuser | I was in awe when i realized my 4-5year old mini asus aspire one L110 could do 1080p on the vga out | 16:24 |
| invariant | cfhowlett, have you even googled it yourself? | 16:24 |
| dinkel | is it straightforward to do and secure? | 16:24 |
| invariant | cfhowlett, it cannot be much simpler. | 16:24 |
| dinkel | or am i getting in a whole lot of other troubles? | 16:24 |
| invariant | cfhowlett, type 'bind mount' and press enter. | 16:25 |
| invariant | escott, what kind of nonsense is that? | 16:25 |
| escott | invariant, ? | 16:25 |
| invariant | escott, who told you that? | 16:25 |
| escott | invariant, told me what? | 16:25 |
| dinkel | invariant, thx | 16:26 |
| invariant | escott, that putting /usr on a different disk is unsupported? | 16:26 |
| invariant | dinkel, I am not using it for usr, but I am using it for some other myself. | 16:26 |
| devdyd | SolarisBoy: this won't output to the console though right? | 16:26 |
| trap24 | which is the offtopic channel for ubuntu :D | 16:26 |
| escott | invariant, there are binaries in /sbin that use libraries in /usr. so /sbin is broken without /usr | 16:26 |
| cfhowlett | !ot|trap24, | 16:27 |
| ubottu | trap24,: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 16:27 |
| dinkel | invariant, but it doesnt look straightforward to me | 16:27 |
| invariant | escott, how is that even remotely related to what I asked you? | 16:27 |
| dinkel | google doesnt really clarify things | 16:27 |
| escott | invariant, if you dont use those binaries you might not have any problems but developers aren't making promises that separate /usr will work for everyone | 16:27 |
| dinkel | invariant, i wonder anyway why a basic install chews up 4 GB | 16:27 |
| dinkel | anyway ... | 16:28 |
| invariant | escott, again, where did you read that? | 16:28 |
| OerHeks | dinkel you could boot from 2nd ssd, and use the small 4 gb for data/backup | 16:28 |
| invariant | escott, there is no reason... no reason at all why that wouldn't work. | 16:28 |
| llutz | invariant: " ldd /sbin/*|grep usr" | 16:29 |
| dinkel | OerHeks, yes, i wanted to avoid that ... but under these circumstances its probably the most straightforward solution | 16:29 |
| invariant | llutz, how is that related? | 16:29 |
| invariant | llutz, I know what the command does, and as far as I am concerned the output is irrelevant. | 16:30 |
| llutz | invariant: any binary from /sbin using libs in /usr/* will fail to run until /usr is mounted | 16:30 |

| cfhowlett | Physicist, steam is still in beta ... | 16:32 |
| escott | invariant, upstream fedora/systemd has already declared it to be completely unsupported and is started down the path of eliminating /usr entirely. debian is likely to try and keep it running a bit longer, but i think it is fair to say it is "unsupported" in the sense that it is not guaranteed to work for everybody, and its not guaranteed to continue to work in the future | 16:32 |

| Physicist | tonsofpcs, Only possible change opening the game.. And the game does not open. | 16:37 |
| cfhowlett | nightwalkerkg, i'm thinking flash issues ... what browser are you in?? | 16:37 |
| nightwalkerkg | Firefox. | 16:37 |
| alami | why i can't found irssi-plugin-silc on ubuntu 12.10 | 16:38 |
| escott | invariant, i have zero interest in arguing design decisions with you. im saying that if i suggest to someone they put /usr on a different disk im also going to warn them that it may break because the lead developers of core software don't consider that to be a valid configuration | 16:38 |
| tonsofpcs | Physicist: search the steam forums for an answer, I guess | 16:38 |
| nightwalkerkg | Also,something is chewing my CPU,it's more then 60% all the time. | 16:38 |
| nightwalkerkg | And i don't have anything opened. | 16:38 |
| cfhowlett | nightwalkerkg, try youtube.com/html5 to see if that format works | 16:38 |
| Physicist | tonsofpcs, Thank you! | 16:38 |
| Physicist | cfhowlett, Thank you! | 16:39 |
| cfhowlett | Physicist, best of luck | 16:39 |
| invariant | escott, I am pretty sure those developers can go and prepare to be forked then, because users don't want that. | 16:39 |
| ioria | nightwalkerkg: do you use flash 10 or 11 ? | 16:39 |
| invariant | escott, and you still haven't provided any proof, btw. | 16:39 |
| invariant | escott, no link to a mailinglist or manual or standard. Nothing. | 16:39 |
| invariant | escott, I also have no interest in arguing with you, because apparently you don't understand the rules of a discussion. | 16:40 |
| invariant | escott, you are supposed to present proof or don't say anything at all. | 16:40 |
| invariant | All I have seen now is scare-mongering. | 16:41 |
| nightwalkerkg | ioria, well according to Firefox it's Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 | 16:41 |
| escott | invariant, then please dont | 16:41 |
| * cfhowlett ... if we can get back to actual support please??? | 16:41 | |
| invariant | escott, I believe I said that it was you that shouldn't say anything at all. | 16:41 |
| ioria | nightwalkerkg: youtube, vimeo, google video, not working at all ? and no messages from firefox ? | 16:42 |

| xangua | nightwalkerkg: did you install any other flash plugin¿ gnash for example | 16:42 |
| alami | any one can tell one why i can't find irssi silc client package | 16:43 |
| nightwalkerkg | xangua, no,this is a fresh install i just installed ubuntu res. extras from the USC. | 16:43 |
| cfhowlett | nightwalkerkg, on the html5 youtube? also, after installing restricted extras you might wish to reboot... | 16:43 |
| ioria | nightwalkerkg: i had a issue like that... i installed flash 10 (you have to download from the site) | 16:43 |

| smee | does ubuntu call subwoofer "rear center" speaker? | 16:48 |
| tonsofpcs | no | 16:48 |
| tonsofpcs | subwoofer is LFE. | 16:48 |
| Halite | How can I tell if I have 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu | 16:48 |
| tonsofpcs | rear center is rear center if such a speaker exists | 16:48 |
| cfhowlett | !hardware|larry_, | 16:49 |
| ubottu | larry_,: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 16:49 |

| llutz | Halite: uname -m | 16:49 |
| larry_ | thanks ubottu | 16:49 |
| smee | Thats what I thought. speaker-test is set to 6 channels but i hear voice rear center instead of subwoofer | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj | smee, subwoofer is probly called LFE | 16:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | larry_: The only way we know is if someone tries a card and reports it. | 16:49 |
| Halite | what does x86_64 mean | 16:49 |
| llutz | Halite: 64bit | 16:49 |
| Halite | llutz: Wait a minute, I thought I had 32-bit Ubuntu | 16:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | Halite: Do you have /usr/lib64? | 16:51 |
| llutz | Halite: then it would be "i686" | 16:51 |
| smee | alsamixer gives me lfe but speaker test voice is rear center. Is this a bug in speaker-test? | 16:53 |

| spyros | i got ubuntu 12.04.i cant use skype(for calls ) while i am listening to music(youtube or audaciosu) | 16:56 |
| cfhowlett | spyros, that would be normal behavior ... | 16:56 |
| cfhowlett | spyros, do one or do the other, you sound server is dedicated to the selected app | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | smee, does front center work properly , if so then the speaker test isn't set for rear center | 16:57 |
| escott | spyros, you wouldnt want to anyways. skype's echo cancelation is junk | 16:57 |
| spyros | im pretty sure i could on 11.10 :/ :/ | 16:58 |
| larry_ | nope spyros , cant have more than one audio stream at a time | 17:00 |
| escott | spyros, if its not working at all make sure you have pulseaudio installed and are using the pulse device for input/output in skye and not the real device | 17:00 |
| smee | bluesKaj: the front center appears to work just it is through the rear right! | 17:00 |

| * cfhowlett :) | 17:06 | |
| lundy | how can I format a Pen Drive? | 17:07 |
| BluesKaj | smee, try the spdif out instead , hdmi audio might be misinterpreting the discrete location | 17:07 |
| mandoguit | Arvendu: standard formatting these days compatibilty wise, afaik, is fat32 | 17:08 |
| escott | lundy, install and use "gparted" | 17:08 |
| lundy | i wanna install ubuntu onto it so I can install Ubuntu on another desktop | 17:08 |
| cfhowlett | lundy, startupdisk creator will do it nicely as will unetbootin | 17:08 |
| mandoguit | lundy: gparted and unetbootin would be one way. see pendrivelinux.com | 17:08 |
| lundy | kk ta | 17:09 |
| GermainZ|Phone | The live cd already has gparted so you can do it directly from there | 17:09 |
| lundy | gparted wont find my pens | 17:09 |
| mandoguit | lundy: check the right hand upper corner of gparted where you can change the device to be partitioned | 17:10 |

| cfhowlett | Ravus, on what computer? | 17:19 |
| Ravus | Custom built pc. | 17:19 |
| kdeuser | Ravus: Install windows first and then *buntu | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | when in doubt.. make backups... | 17:20 |
| GermainZ|Phone | Ravus I did it without issued... | 17:20 |
| Folorn | thanks guys brb | 17:20 |
| cfhowlett | Ravus, install 12.04 Long Term Support ... less bleeding edge but quite likely better supported for your hardware | 17:20 |
| Ravus | I am on windows right now, I will be adding ubuntu. | 17:20 |
| GermainZ|Phone | I installed grub in linux's partition, tho | 17:20 |

| Ravus | Is the Windows installer any good? | 17:22 |
| cfhowlett | Ravus, do I read correctly that you running both nvidia AND ati GPU??? | 17:22 |
| kdeuser | Ravus: you mean wubi? yes | 17:22 |
| Ravus | cfhowlett That's right. | 17:22 |
| cfhowlett | Ravus, wubi is great for TESTING ubuntu .. it's stated purpose. It's not a permanent install solution ... | 17:22 |
| cfhowlett | Ravus, and you might have to do a bit of jiggering with 2 competing gpu's... | 17:23 |
| kdeuser | Ravus: Get the desktop version of ubuntu and try it out from the disc to check if you have any problems with any hardware | 17:23 |

| Arvendu | ;) | 17:27 |
| Ravus | cfhowlett Is that a native program on Ubuntu, such as an app market? | 17:27 |
| Arvendu | is it linux internet have faster access then windows? | 17:28 |
| nexus` | no | 17:28 |
| cfhowlett | Ravus, right, the Ubuntu Software Center ... | 17:28 |
| ThinkT510 | Arvendu: network speed has little to do with the os | 17:28 |
| nexus` | your internet speed is based on the config file your ISP sends to the modem | 17:28 |
| nexus` | you can do a little tweaking on your end but not a whole lot | 17:28 |
| nexus` | messing with the MTU and such | 17:28 |
| Arvendu | kk | 17:28 |
| nexus` | ive never noticed much of a difference though | 17:29 |

| Arvendu | but one thing more ...when i run live mode of ubuntu i am not able to see my ssid wifi network but network is enable | 17:29 |
| nexus` | download network manager | 17:29 |
| nexus` | or that may be an issue with live cd i dunno | 17:30 |

| ThinkT510 | Arvendu: lspci | 17:31 |
| xsrHunt | you can not modify your internet speed from some config file sent by your isp !! | 17:31 |
| nexus` | not anymore | 17:31 |
| Arvendu | i am in windows right now | 17:31 |
| xsrHunt | the speed of your internet connection is programmed at the phone exchange | 17:31 |
| nexus` | years ago you could uncap your cable modem with some ISP's | 17:31 |
| nexus` | surfboard 4200 | 17:32 |
| ThinkT510 | Arvendu: open up the device manager then | 17:32 |
| xsrHunt | oh, sorry, i must of came half way, my apologies | 17:32 |
| nexus` | trick it into reading the config file from your computer instead of the ISP network | 17:32 |
| nexus` | but wha ti was getting at is that you can change your computer network settings | 17:32 |

| ErtanERBEK | it is mean I am using ecryptfs home folder now but working very slowly and I want delete that feature without delete my home folder | 17:36 |
| escott | ErtanERBEK, copy your files (excluding ~/.Private) out of $HOME and into a new folder in /home/newhome or the like. then switch homes, and then delete the /home/oldhome/.Private | 17:36 |
| cfhowlett | ErtanERBEK, ah yes. I read a tutorial for that as I also installed ecrypt. I decided that I'lll just have to wait for the next point release, reformat my drive and reinstall ... | 17:36 |

| escott | ErtanERBEK, you also have encrypted swap which you might want to swapoff, mkswap on the real device and then swapon as well as doing whatever to decommission the dmcrypt swap device | 17:38 |
| nexus` | at the bottom it says for wired but that thing it is downloading is a start | 17:38 |
| ErtanERBEK | escott, I am not use any swap area | 17:38 |
| nexus` | you need it apparently | 17:38 |

| ErtanERBEK | how ecryptfs system downgrade my disk system speed I am realy not understand | 17:39 |
| nexus` | just repartition them | 17:39 |
| nexus` | what do you mean mass with D | 17:40 |
| Arvendu | i do not want to delete D Drive becz there is my backup available | 17:40 |
| nexus` | when you are running the installation of ubuntu just select the C to reformat and partition | 17:40 |
| fox__ | اه | 17:41 |

| ErtanERBEK | I am getting my home folder now aftr try escott suggestion | 17:41 |
| cfhowlett | fox__, eglish??? | 17:41 |
| ErtanERBEK | Sorry my bad englis, I gettin backup my home folder to another USB3 disk after try change home folder | 17:42 |
| nexus` | Arvendu: you have 1 HDD right? | 17:42 |
| nexus` | and C/D are the partition on it correct? | 17:42 |
| nexus` | if that is the case then during install just reformat C and tell ubuntu to use the free space partition to install | 17:43 |
| nexus` | D will be left alone | 17:43 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: be careful, or you might loose file permissions and hidden files, depending on how you copy your home folder. | 17:43 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: if you copy to an usb formatted as FAT32, you will loose file permissions | 17:43 |
| Arvendu | k just suppose if i want to delete both drive and Create two partiton then ? | 17:43 |
| nexus` | u wanna get rid of D? | 17:44 |
| Arvendu | yes | 17:44 |
| ThinkT510 | !partitioning | Arvendu | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Arvendu: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 17:44 |
| nexus` | then just reformat the whole drive | 17:44 |
| ErtanERBEK | I open all hidden file firstly ctrl+h and reslect all file with crtl+a after start copy progress | 17:44 |
| luisgmarine | hello guys I'm trying to set up a nice basic home server running out of my desktop machine. I just want to be able to access all my movies , music, etc from the other machines on my network. I've googled several how to tutotirials but no matter what I try I can never see the file from any other computer | 17:44 |
| nexus` | during install you can create partitions | 17:44 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: unless you compress it with tar.gz, as follows: 'tar cvzf filename.tgz /home/<your_home>' | 17:44 |
| ErtanERBEK | Thank you for your suggestion JC_SoCal | 17:44 |
| nexus` | it's fairly simple the GUI will tell you how | 17:44 |
| JC_SoCal | which suggestions was this? | 17:44 |
| Arvendu | k guys :) will back in few moments after installation done :) | 17:44 |
| escott | ErtanERBEK, don't do it through nautilus | 17:44 |
| Arvendu | Byee Thanks TC :D | 17:44 |
| nexus` | good luck | 17:44 |
| ErtanERBEK | JC_SoCal, I have 60 GB daha in my home folder My idea tar.gz not god selection for me :D | 17:45 |
| JC_SoCal | um ... your welcome? | 17:45 |
| escott | ErtanERBEK, you dont want a tar. you need to be able to use your copy to verify it is correct | 17:45 |
| Mehrdad | google sucks | 17:45 |
| ErtanERBEK | jcabo_, I have 60 GB daha in my home folder My idea tar.gz not god selection for me :D | 17:45 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: if I were you, I would copy to a different directory in the same harddisk, outside /home/<your_Home>, which will not be under ecryptfs | 17:45 |
| JC_SoCal | ^^ haha mistaken identity | 17:45 |
| Mehrdad | Bing > Google | 17:45 |
| nexus` | blasphemy Mehrdad | 17:46 |
| nexus` | google is a programmers #1 best friend | 17:46 |
| nexus` | and anyone who uses linux | 17:47 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: or first copy the big files to a usb, so that what you have to put in the .tgz are just the configuration files of home. | 17:47 |
| nexus` | a lot of questions that are asked in here are solved easily by being able to know how to use google right | 17:47 |

| Mehrdad | nexus` again, what? | 17:47 |
| nexus` | ? | 17:47 |
| Mehrdad | also what is the offtopic channel for ubuntu ? | 17:47 |
| nexus` | idk | 17:47 |
| nexus` | ##linux? | 17:48 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: 'cp -a' is recursive and preserves file permissions | 17:48 |
| ErtanERBEK | Dear Friends, I want ask to you | 17:48 |
| ThinkT510 | !offtopic | Mehrdad | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Mehrdad: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 17:48 |
| nexus` | he'll have to use cp -r to do the directory jcabo_ | 17:48 |
| ErtanERBEK | first of all I get my all data to another disk | 17:48 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: 'cp -a' is recursive and preserves file permissions | 17:48 |
| ErtanERBEK | after delete my home folder and re copy all data another disk to my main disk | 17:48 |
| nexus` | oh nvm jcabo_ you are right | 17:48 |
| escott | nexus`, -a includes -dR | 17:48 |
| nexus` | just looked at the man | 17:48 |
| obert | hello, i am trying to install kate via package manager but everytime i got it installed as root | 17:49 |
| nexus` | manual | 17:49 |
| nexus` | learned something new | 17:49 |
| nexus` | :) | 17:49 |
| FloodBot1 | nexus`: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:49 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: On the other hand, if all you care about is data, and not configuration files, then copy to usb is fine. | 17:49 |
| ErtanERBEK | but how can stop ecryptfs system | 17:49 |
| Wizek | Hello! Do .desktop files support drag-and-drop funcionality from the unity launcher? | 17:49 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: to stop ecryptfs is easy: just create another user (see System Settings) | 17:49 |
| ErtanERBEK | I mean how can I stop ecryptfs mount system | 17:50 |
| Wizek | I mean drag and drop onto them | 17:50 |
| ErtanERBEK | jcabo_, But I want use same user | 17:50 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: after you created another user, copy the files from /home/<old_user> to /home/<new_user>/ | 17:50 |
| ErtanERBEK | because I have many configuration at password and group side and other system folder for this user | 17:50 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: maybe this will help you, it involves creating another user as an intermediate step though: http://virtually-a-machine.blogspot.com.ar/2010/08/howto-disable-ecryptfs.html | 17:52 |
| ErtanERBEK | Thank jcabo_ | 17:53 |

| zetheroo | You have a bunch of text - enough for 10 - 20 pages - and you want to have this text laid out in a document with embedded audio files which you can click on to listen to. -- How would one accomplish this in Linux? :D | 17:55 |
| cfhowlett | zetheroo, libreoffice impress??? | 17:55 |

| BEC | adamk, I also tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/35968/multi-screen-problems-virtual-size-does-not-fit-available-size (Catalyst reply!) | 17:56 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: before you try that guide, do a backup of important data first though! | 17:56 |
| zetheroo | cfhowlett: unfortunately my experiences with LibreOffice in this regard have been dismally negative :P | 17:56 |
| zetheroo | marchtemp: so basically making a website out of it ... ? | 17:57 |
| marchtemp | I have a problem with ALSA in Ubuntu minimal, I've installed alsa-utils, and alsa-tools, but the sound only works in headphones. | 17:57 |
| marchtemp | zetheroo: Not a website, but a bunch of HTML pages. | 17:57 |
| zetheroo | marchtemp: right | 17:57 |
| zetheroo | marchtemp: but for someone who knows nothing of coding in HTML is there a program that can do this ? | 17:58 |
| marchtemp | zetheroo: I know there are projects that help you create a local media library with HTML. | 17:59 |
| zetheroo | marchtemp: hmm .. sounds interesting .. | 17:59 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: perhaps ask in ##linux since your question isn't really ubuntu specific | 18:00 |
| marchtemp | zetheroo: I don't know your background, I suggest learning HTML, it's easy. | 18:00 |
| marchtemp | ThinkT510: I have an Ubuntu specific question. | 18:00 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: good thought ... how do you like your T510? Did the T510 already come with the chicklet keyboard? ;) | 18:01 |
| nayris | Hello everone, am new to Ubuntu and i need some help to set my Thunderbird , Any one ? | 18:01 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: not sure what you mean by chicklet but i like my thinkpad very much | 18:01 |
| ThinkT510 | marchtemp: i have no issues with alsa so i can't really help you sorry | 18:01 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: your first Thinkpad? | 18:01 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: nope, my first was a t40 | 18:02 |
| nayris | i am using a thinkpad my self :D sl510 too | 18:02 |
| marchtemp | ThinkT510: Does 12.04 use pulse or alsa or both? | 18:02 |
| ThinkT510 | marchtemp: both | 18:02 |
| marchtemp | ThinkT510: How do they not conflict? | 18:02 |
| marchtemp | Maybe I need to install pulse. | 18:03 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: ok, then is the keyboard on the T510 the same as the T40? | 18:03 |
| ThinkT510 | marchtemp: i'm not the most knowledgable regarding the sound system but i think pulse and alsa do slightly different things | 18:03 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: no | 18:03 |
| ClientAlive | I need to move about a dozen files over ssh to my other other computer. Is there a way to pipe the filenames in or something? (some easier way to issue the command so I don't have to type out every file name)? | 18:03 |
| marchtemp | ClientAlive: Tar or zip them and scp the archive. | 18:04 |
| jcabo_ | nayris: you can move your thunderbird profile and retain all configuration and emails from a previous thunderbird installation (even from windows) | 18:04 |
| marchtemp | jcabo_: I think he quit. | 18:04 |

| zetheroo | ThinkT510: just checked .. the T510 still has the legendary Keyboard - nice!! ;) | 18:08 |
| jcabo_ | ErtanERBEK: that guide will work fine too | 18:09 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: i made sure my t510 wasn't optimus | 18:09 |
| ErtanERBEK | thank you for your assitance dear jcabo_ | 18:09 |

| zetheroo | ThinkT510: by Optimus your referring to the NVIDIA gfx? Why did you avoid it? | 18:10 |

| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: so i could have a working laptop | 18:11 |
| ClientAlive | well, it seems to me if I put everything in one directory on the sending computer I will still have to get the contents of that directory out on the recieving computer - and that takes me right back to typing out 12 long file names into a ludacrous long command (or compying and pasting 12 long file names into a ludacrous long command) - in order to get the files back out of the directory I sent them to the other computer in. | 18:11 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: I have ATI/Intel switchable on my T400 ... and it's running Ubuntu 12.04 fine ... | 18:11 |
| Chiku|dc | listening on tcp6 with ipv4 address ? | 18:11 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: you just have to disable the auto-switching in the BIOS - but you can still use both cards | 18:12 |
| ClientAlive | So I'm wondering if there is a way to use a pipe or variable in the command so I can send the 12 files outside of a containing directory and into the existing directory on the other machine that already contains over 100 similar media files. | 18:12 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: why get it in the first place if you can't autoswitch? | 18:12 |
| l3g3nd | how do i add ip blockers like on windows with the application called peerblock | 18:12 |
| ioria | marchtemp: i disintalled pulseaudio and i'm ok ... but i'm on lubuntu here. | 18:13 |
| ClientAlive | I can't afford for anything to get clobbered or corrupted in this process - these are the only copies | 18:13 |
| marchtemp | ioria: The problem is: ALSA works with headphones only. I have no idea what is going on. | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | marchtemp, laptop ? | 18:14 |
| zetheroo | ThinkT510: well if I need the higher powered gfx for something in particular I can boot into BIOS, select the ATI gfx and then boot into Ubuntu ... since I have an SSD in my T400 the boot time is lightning fast - so I can switch the gfx card within less 30 seconds | 18:14 |

| Threepwood | ClientAlive: you can also use a gui-approach (filezilla) if typing 12 times the "same" scp command is too much :) | 18:15 |
| ThinkT510 | zetheroo: that sounds awfully clunky to me, but i'm glad you are happy with the solution | 18:15 |
| marchtemp | BluesKaj: Ubuntu minimal 12.04, Installed alsa-base, alsa-tools, alsa-utils.. | 18:15 |

| ioria | marchtemp: maybe you should change the settings of your player | 18:17 |

| ClientAlive | I can see that isn't syntactically correct tho and not sure if it would even work | 18:17 |

| BluesKaj | marchtemp, open a console , type pulseaudio | 18:19 |
| Threepwood | ClientAlive: I think you can also "add" the files to your existing folder, scp ist "the same" as a lokal cp (at least it got very similar behaviour) | 18:19 |
| ClientAlive | Threepwood: well, not really, scp can take multiple files to send in it's command. If I can get them into the stream without typeing them out I'm golden | 18:19 |

| Taylr0x | Thanks ThinkT510. Is there any desktop environment you know of that's quite clean and minimalistic? I like the default Gnome but it just seems too 'beginner friendly'. | 18:25 |
| obert | ThinkT510: default config is weird: no line number and such | 18:25 |

| Taylr0x | Ah many thanks! | 18:26 |
| marchtemp | ioria: What preferences, I don't have Unity installed. | 18:26 |
| Taylr0x | How simple is that to install/replace the default desktop environment on Ubuntu? | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | ioria, his headphone work , his speakers don't | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | headphones work | 18:27 |
| xangua | Taylr0x: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , if you want xfce | 18:27 |
| ioria | marchtemp: i meant mplayer preferences, btw | 18:27 |
| threepi | for some odd reason i can't seem to access any programs that are installed int he /opt folder, albeit proper permissions set... is there a knowable reason for this? | 18:27 |
| ThinkT510 | Taylr0x: no need to remove anything, just login to that desktop via the login manager (it will be default for next time) | 18:27 |
| BluesKaj | ok ... this going nowhwere ..bbl | 18:27 |
| Taylr0x | Simple as that? Lovely. Many thanks for the help ThinkT510 and xangua! Will take a peak at that now. Looking at the screenshots it seems to be near what I'm after! | 18:28 |
| marchtemp | ioria: Speakers don't work with aplay or speaker-test. I'm pretty sure, mplayer will fail too. | 18:28 |
| === dns_poisoner is now known as hackoo | ||
| obert | ThinkT510: no way to fix it? | 18:28 |
| Taylr0x | Before I do anything, can I install desktop environments on a USB live CD boot? Or do I need to have this installed as my main OS before doing anything that involved? | 18:29 |
| Taylr0x | Also, is there anything you recommend I run before installing Ubuntu to make sure all hardware is supported? As I have a feeling my graphics card may not be. | 18:29 |
| ThinkT510 | obert: edit the config file with a text editor via sudo (commandline) or gksudo (graphical) | 18:29 |
| cfhowlett | !hardware|Taylor, check the list | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Taylor, check the list: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 18:30 |

| cfhowlett | IboS, xubuntu and lubuntu are both lightweight | 18:36 |
| ThinkT510 | !lubuntu | IboS | 18:36 |
| ubottu | IboS: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 18:36 |

| heywood | anyone else having issues with ssh like this? do ubuntu upgrades mess with /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny ? | 18:38 |
| l057c0d3r | heywood.. no sure but you should check to make sure its all set up right.. maybe check the ssh key like you did when you created it for the first time ext.... | 18:39 |

| matiasbatero | hi big_mike | 18:40 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: here is a website, the comments in the article might give some clues: http://edoceo.com/notabene/ssh-exchange-identification | 18:41 |
| heywood | jcabo_: heh. i'm looking at that very page in another window... | 18:41 |
| MrL0ngbowman | KDE ftw! | 18:41 |
| matiasbatero | what is your problem?.. i'm not expert.. | 18:41 |
| WhiteRussian | +OK FE5691v18Ky1KpcUr07lXNX. | 18:41 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: sorry I can only give you a website, I haven't experienced the problem personally. Also, review the sshd configuration (login as root is almost always disabled for instance) | 18:42 |
| heywood | jcabo_: no worries. problem is that i'm not in the same place as the server, so i have to walk someone through troubleshooting. | 18:42 |

| big_mike | matiasbatero: Yeah so this happened multiple times, where XOrg would crash and and my cpu usage goes through the roof because nouveau is logging to it. I end up with a 2+ gb log file of the same message | 18:43 |
| heywood | jcabo_: FWIW, not logging in as root. (root sshd logins are disabled, as is root in general on that machine.) | 18:44 |
| llutz | obert: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && find ~/.kde -type f -iname '*kate*' |xargs ls -l |pastebinit" | 18:44 |
| llutz | obert: then paste the resulting link here please | 18:44 |
| heywood | jcabo_: weird thing is that the problems started right after i rebooted following the dist-upgrade. up until then, everything was working just fine. | 18:44 |
| heywood | so the ubuntu update seems to have changed/borked something. | 18:45 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: in this website: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com.ar/2010/02/dist-upgrade-misnomer-confusion.html a comment says "I've found that during a run of do-release-upgrade I'll be unable to ssh in to that machine" | 18:45 |
| obert | llutz: that will make my computer exploding? | 18:45 |
| stevesmename | I could use some assistance understanding what "alsamixer" is and will do? I have a current problem where I have no sound cards found. I read something that alsamixer is just an app that will allow you to change your volume settings but I have a problem where sound cards are not seen. I ask here because I saw another post that states "alsamixer" installed will find your sound cards too. | 18:45 |
| llutz | obert: no, it will just give us the chance to look at some permissions of kate-configfiles | 18:45 |
| obert | ls -l isnt enought?:) | 18:46 |
| Arvendu | Hello guys i m back :D | 18:46 |
| llutz | obert: paste those lines,but use pastebin NOT here | 18:46 |

| obert | llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1633948/ | 18:46 |
| heywood | stevesmename: it's text-based, which is clunky, but it might work. | 18:46 |
| ThinkT510 | stevesmename: alsamixer is run in a terminal, it lets you manage your sound settings | 18:46 |

| Arvendu | when i am logged in it is just normal user how can i logged in using root user? | 18:47 |
| ThinkT510 | !root | Arvendu | 18:47 |
| ubottu | Arvendu: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:47 |
| obert | llutz: i never use sudo | 18:47 |
| Argo | Hello guys | 18:47 |

| matiasbatero | Arvendu: use sudo, or gksu | 18:49 |
| obert | done | 18:49 |
| llutz | obert: did you copy those configs from somewhere then? by default those wouldn't be root-owned | 18:49 |

| Argo | I'd love to try Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro, but when I use the instructions ( http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx ) and reboot with rEFIt installed, i get a "error loading operating system". | 18:49 |
| obert | llutz: i only launched ubuntu software and installed it as user | 18:49 |
| llutz | obert: thats odd, sounds like a bug | 18:50 |
| obert | -as user perhaps:p | 18:50 |
| heywood | jcabo_: do you know if apt's postflight scripts for ssh(d) automatically start the daemon once it's up and running? | 18:50 |
| heywood | er, i mean, once it's installed? | 18:50 |
| obert | why? shouldnt be correct to have http://paste.ubuntu.com/1633948/ ? | 18:50 |
| llutz | obert: userconfigs are not to be root-owned | 18:50 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: yes, after an upgrade to sshd it automatically comes back up | 18:51 |
| obert | llutz: no? | 18:51 |
| llutz | obert: you cannot change them, if they are | 18:51 |
| llutz | obert: it makes no sense at all | 18:51 |
| obert | llutz: now it seems to be fixed anyway | 18:51 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: if it wasn't up, you would get a different error, like ' computer refusing connection' or something | 18:51 |
| heywood | jcabo_: ok. lastly, would a remove/install overwrite /etc/ssh/sshd_config? | 18:51 |
| llutz | obert: "find ~ -uid 0" | 18:51 |
| heywood | jcabo_: no, no, i'm quite sure it's up. | 18:52 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: yes (especially with -purge option) | 18:52 |
| heywood | i can telnet to the port and get the ssh prompts. | 18:52 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: if you do apt-get remove (without -purge option) it should be left intact | 18:52 |
| obert | llutz: what is htat | 18:52 |
| isaias | How do I dualboot Ubuntu and Windows when I have ubuntu already installed? | 18:52 |
| llutz | obert: find more files root-owned | 18:52 |
| llutz | obert: there shuldn't be any | 18:52 |
| obert | heh lots of them instead. llutz: this is a vm btw | 18:53 |
| heywood | jcabo_: i can do something like "cp sshd_config sshd_config.bak", unless the remove -purge step removes the entire directory. | 18:53 |
| llutz | obert: vm/no-vm doesn't matter, something is odd there... | 18:53 |
| obert | llutz: a bug could be acceptable perhaps | 18:53 |
| heywood | does -purge do anything else that might be useful for the clean install? | 18:53 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: let me see | 18:53 |
| obert | llutz: dunno, thanks for the tip though and help | 18:54 |
| heywood | sorry, if i were sitting at the machine this would be trivial to check. but i'm like a thousand miles away from there :o | 18:54 |
| janisozaur | is there libreoffice 4 ppa for precise? | 18:54 |
| obert | llutz: when i install something via software package config files should be owned by user? | 18:54 |
| llutz | obert: if you encounter more issues, just check/repair permissions. this only is valid for users $HOME, not outside! | 18:54 |
| Argo | Does anyone have experience with booting ubuntu on OS X using a USB-drive? | 18:55 |
| llutz | obert: packages won't install personal-configs in most cases. they will be created when a user runs the program and then will be user-owned | 18:55 |
| obert | llutz: yup, but i destroied a machine some years ago trying to fix permissionsd, since that i never plaied anymore with them | 18:55 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: take a look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.postrm in the 'purge)' section, that is what it does | 18:55 |
| obert | my typing is horrible, sorry | 18:56 |
| Yankee_Bruce | new to linux/ubuntu. do i need a virus protection application? | 18:56 |
| obert | Yankee_Bruce: no virus under linux | 18:56 |
| heywood | jcabo_: erm, i'd sort of need to be at the console, no? is that source available online somewhere? | 18:56 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: the conffiles removed with purge are those listed in the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.conffiles | 18:56 |
| ThinkT510 | !av | Yankee_Bruce | 18:56 |
| ubottu | Yankee_Bruce: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 18:56 |
| llutz | obert: as i said, usually there shouldn't be any files inside your $HOME not being owned by you | 18:56 |
| obert | oh | 18:57 |
| Yankee_Bruce | lack of trying, or it is inherently resistant | 18:57 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: let me see about pastebin'in | 18:57 |
| heywood | jcabo_: if you have that handy on your machine, could you pastebin it? | 18:57 |

| heywood | jcabo_: sweet -- thanks. if i read it right, there's no harm in blowing away the host keys -- i'll just get the prompt to add the public side upon first connection. but if i don't create sshd_config.bak, the entire /etc/ssh gets deleted. | 19:02 |
| Arvendu | Thanks :D | 19:02 |
| Guest37383 | :) | 19:03 |
| isaias | Argo: Mac was made using linux, so it shouldn't be a problem for it to work. I don't recommend using an usb drive due to the small amount of memory. External HDD would work best. Or a dualboot would work alright though | 19:03 |
| Guest37383 | k******** | 19:03 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: I dunno, but I hope it has been helpful to you | 19:03 |
| heywood | jcabo_: maybe i'll have my friend do a "cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/sshd_config.bak" -- so i keep a reminder of what i did for the configs, but allow the remove/uninstall -purge to proceed cleanly. | 19:03 |
| biglinux-buddha | opa!!! | 19:03 |
| isaias | Argo: and the speed. Ubuntu would run slow because of usb | 19:04 |
| heywood | jcabo_: yes, that's been extremely helpful. thanks!! | 19:04 |
| jcabo_ | heywood: you're welcome!! | 19:04 |

| janisozaur | ClientAlive, and what is the problem? if you know file names you can use bash "echo number{one,two,three}" expansion syntax | 19:05 |

| mefistofeles | hey, what's the boot parameter to load vesa generic driver? Ubuntu tries loading with radeon driver and that crashes the computer... | 19:17 |
| ThinkT510 | mefistofeles: you may need to force it by using a xorg.conf | 19:18 |
| ThinkT510 | !xorgconf | mefistofeles | 19:18 |
| ubottu | mefistofeles: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

Both the USB and Cd work since I tested it on another system, actually just installed ubuntu on another system using this USB 30 minutes prior. any suggestions on how ot fix this? | 19:23 |
| Threepwood | ThinkT510: normally it should be 42, but they didnt come to 74 .. yet | 19:23 |
| marahin | alienaut, for example 64 bit OS cannot into >4GB RAM. | 19:23 |

| ozy | i'm trying to boot ubuntu off a usb stick, and all I get is some goofy icon at the bottom of the screen for a whie. It looks like a 'movie' icon, a dash, and then a person spread eagle with a cricle around it. After a while. it goes to a flashing underscore at the top left of the screen and does nothing else... | 19:25 |
| marahin | alienaut, because 32 bit version works on both 64 supporting CPUs, and thom which don't | 19:25 |
| ThinkT510 | alienaut: 32bit will work on both | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | alienaut, , that's only if you're unsure of the architecture | 19:25 |

| datsmoida | you guys have any idea about after i upgraded ubuntu to 12.04 mysql is running properly but i cannot log in to phpmyadmin | 19:36 |
| jrib | shade34321: also, you should actually verify the contents of the cd (it's an option somewhere when you boot from the cd/usb) | 19:36 |
| shade34321 | jrib: ok, I'll try that first | 19:37 |
| jrib | shade34321: I don't actually know anything about the error that you mentioned; I'm just suggesting things to try | 19:38 |
| GeekSquid | ozy: you build in adb, (really offtopic) ... there is room #Cyanogenmod with 430 people in it | 19:38 |
| shade34321 | jrib: lol, the only reason why I haven't verified the contents is because I just used it and they worked but it can't hurt to check it. | 19:39 |

| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: RTL 8187, are those bugging with ALFA awus036h? Icouldn't find anything googling | 20:11 |

| GeekSquid | Terry: let me save you some time, don't download thunderbird, apt-get it.... "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" | 20:13 |
| ThinkT510 | Terry: thunderbird should already be default, no need to download it | 20:13 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Hmm, the Hak5 forums might have some info, as I know they like to use alfa's, not sure which models though | 20:13 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: wow thats old router :) | 20:13 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: I thought about that, it's passed a lot of packets, should I just upgrade | 20:13 |
| DeadWeasel | ? | 20:14 |
| Terry | So is apt-get on the desk top? | 20:14 |
| DeadWeasel | it could be hardware, but it doesn't happen on other machines | 20:14 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: ^ | 20:14 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel:Also have you checked ping from just the router out? | 20:14 |

| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: if your lazy and have the money to spare just buy a wifi card with more support | 20:14 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel:I recently had a case where just one machine was getting about 15% packet loss, oddly enough rebooting my modem is what fixed it | 20:14 |
| DeadWeasel | not sure how on tomato router. let me look that up. kantlivelong | 20:14 |
| yeik | escott, it shouldn't be encrypted as I always have screen sessions up, so it isn't the first login, just first session from that device (like my phone, if rebooted and connecting back via ssh) | 20:14 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: rebooting sets me straight for a while. although I reboote dthis time and had 22% loss, now Im' at 0% loss. weird | 20:15 |
| Terry | Book marked that and will give it look...thanks | 20:15 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Right, I know you tried rebooting the comp, but also try the router and the modem | 20:16 |
| W|cKeD | http://paste.ubuntu.com/1634201/ <=== help pls | 20:16 |
| DeadWeasel | oh, the router, brainfart, thanks. I will do that when this connection gets bad. I'm watching my packet loss right now. | 20:16 |
| DeadWeasel | anyone know a good command to measure packet loss? | 20:17 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: ping | 20:17 |
| kantlivelong | lol | 20:17 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: ping w/ flood option is good too | 20:17 |
| DeadWeasel | ping is what I was doing, but I have to stop and start it repeatedly, I'll loook up flood | 20:17 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: ^ | 20:18 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: mtr | 20:18 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: <3 mtr | 20:18 |
| DeadWeasel | so put in mtr 0.0.0.0 | 20:18 |
| DeadWeasel | or external I p? | 20:18 |
| DeadWeasel | whoa, that's a sweet tool! kantlivelong | 20:19 |
| DeadWeasel | thanks! | 20:19 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: everytime im on a windows pc i cringe when i have to use ping/tracert | 20:19 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: no doubt. so glad I'm not doing IT anymore! | 20:20 |
| Taylr0x | Good evening all. | 20:20 |
| tomv_ | I think this is a quickie.. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. when I search for a file from the unity dash, I can see the file, but I can't figure out how to open the containing folder, or learn where it is located... | 20:20 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: eh ive moved up from user support and just talk to servers all day.. the servers dont say mean things ;) | 20:21 |
| ACubed10 | what's up everyone | 20:21 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: and they don't give you the stinkeye when you are helping them :) | 20:21 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: hehe... | 20:21 |
| mathias__ | Hello guys, I got a problem with my microphone under ubuntu 12.04 | 20:22 |
| mathias__ | It keeps picking up every sound on my computer | 20:22 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: from the supported hardware page: Support for encrypted wireless during installation is currently limited to WEP. | 20:22 |
| mathias__ | let's say I'm in a skype call and watch a youtube clip at the same time. the people in the conversation will hear EXACTLY what I'm listetning to | 20:22 |
| XATRIX | Hi guys, how can i start proprietary driver installation utility from console ? | 20:22 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: WPA, I recall reading something on that, has issues | 20:22 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: ah... well if your in a secluded area WEP isnt too bad :P | 20:23 |
| DeadWeasel | I guess I could do wep and do MAC filtering? kantlivelong | 20:23 |
| gelph | mathias__ put headphones on is the only real answer | 20:23 |
| GeekSquid | XATRIX: gksudo jockey-gtk | 20:23 |
| kunji | tomv_: Hmm, in 12.10 you can right click it and there is an option to "Show in folder" but I think there were changes to the dash from 12.04 to 12.10, so I guess I'm not sure | 20:23 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: i wouldnt recommend that.. anyone that hacks WEP knows mac filtering is a joke :) | 20:23 |
| DeadWeasel | oh yea, mac spoofing | 20:24 |
| DeadWeasel | balls | 20:24 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: just grab another wifi card | 20:24 |
| DeadWeasel | but i don't think WPA is supported in general | 20:24 |
| tomv_ | kunji: cool. does not work in 12.04 -- I was surprised to see no options when I right click. | 20:24 |
| DeadWeasel | https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/hardware-supported.html | 20:24 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel:.. i use WPA2 daily on various card w/o issues | 20:24 |
| bekks | DeadWeasel: Correct. WPA is deprecated too. USe WPA2 at least. | 20:24 |
| tomv_ | kunji: glad they fixed that in 12.10. | 20:24 |
| kantlivelong | dunno if its just WPA | 20:24 |
| kunji | mathias__: using speakers right? I would recommend using headphones for that. | 20:24 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: Support for encrypted wireless during installation is currently limited to WEP. | 20:25 |
| DeadWeasel | WEP only supported :( lame | 20:25 |
| kantlivelong | during install.. oh heh | 20:25 |
| gelph | WEP can be broken in 56 seconds | 20:25 |
| joshu | Is there a way to make an ubuntu install into a "firmware"? in other words it would be updated remotely and some mechanism in place in case the update goes wrong | 20:25 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: pretty sure ive used WPA2 on install | 20:25 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: there are a couple of unsecure networks I can see, so I won't be low hanging fruit. | 20:26 |
| yeik | DeadWeasel, kantlivelong, another option is a second ssid that is free, but give it limited access or one of those payment features with ads. nobody needs to hack wep if you have free wifi. | 20:26 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: I'm using it right now. but it's the only thing I can point to for my packet loss... | 20:26 |
| bekks | joshu: Which has nothing to do with a "firmware" - and you could just restore a backup when something goes wrong. | 20:26 |
| Taylr0x | How do you stop xchat from joining that debian channel upon startup? | 20:26 |
| kantlivelong | yeik: people arent always hackng wifi for free wifi :P | 20:26 |
| bekks | Remove that channel from your favorites. | 20:26 |
| DeadWeasel | yeik: maybe, i'll think about that. | 20:27 |
| Taylr0x | Brilliant, thank you bekks | 20:27 |
| joshu | bekks: but if the ubuntu desktop install is in a remote location it is not as simple as that | 20:27 |
| bekks | joshu: As long as SSH is still reachable, it is that easy. | 20:27 |
| GeekSquid | kantlivelong: more like free credit card numbers, but I wouldn't know anything about that | 20:27 |
| yeik | kantlivelong, no, it is a big portion. and if you are worried about access to your computers, segragated networks and vpn/ssh tunnels | 20:27 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: MTR has sent 500 packets, 16 IPs for google.com, AVG is 5% loss | 20:27 |
| tomv_ | kunji: I figured it out, just go back t to basic nautilis for 12.04, kinda lame. Windows 7 is better. Glad they fixed it in 12.10 | 20:27 |
| kunji | tomv_: Yeah, nautilus is pretty nice in my opinion though. | 20:28 |
| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: any loss when hitting your router? | 20:28 |
| === salih is now known as Uzmanium | ||
| Taylr0x | bekks, do you know where you find your favourite lists? I cant seem to find it. | 20:29 |
| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: great q, checking now. not yet. | 20:29 |
| tomv_ | kunji: Much slower, does not seem to have access to the same index that dashboard uses to quickly find the file. | 20:29 |
| joshu | bekks ok perhaps i'll give some more detail explaining what i'm looking to do. i'm thinking of creating an ubuntu os thin client which will be read-only e.g. no user information is stored locally. this would be deployed via a livecd which is installed locally on a user's computer. | 20:29 |
| DeadWeasel | i'll keep an eye on it kantlivelong | 20:29 |
| pasquale | !ciao | 20:29 |

| kantlivelong | DeadWeasel: or the card driver | 20:30 |

| DeadWeasel | kantlivelong: should I try another RTL driver? like 8169? | 20:30 |

| rusfus_ | escottwhat should i do?? | 20:56 |
| trueneu | Hm, yeah, right, ozy. | 20:56 |
| escott | rusfus_, clearly the password is deemed not to be correct. you can monitor the actual handshake and communication with the remote server by doing "ssh -vvv user@host" but (the more v's the more verbose) but it sure sounds like you dont have the right password | 20:56 |

| DeadWeasel | Ok, I rebooted the modem and router, then I changed the attenae back to the small one on my ALFA wirless card, now when I try to reconnect to my network the "CONNECT" button is red and won't allow me to click it! kantlivelong kunji | 21:01 |

| GeekSquid | seferis: unity doesn't look right on 2 screens ... install gnome-desktop-environment and you will have a better desktop... when you log in click session and click gnome classic | 21:01 |
| kunji | seferis: Click on the gear in the upper right, go to system settings, then to Displays, I believe there should be an option in there for it | 21:01 |
| escott | LanaMay, 127.0.0.1:22 is port 22 on localhost | 21:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GeekSquid, do you mean gnome-panel? | 21:01 |
| kunji | seferis: The Launcher placement one | 21:01 |
| DeadWeasel | Why would the connect button be not clickable? | 21:01 |
| GeekSquid | SonikkuAmerica: no, I am talking about replacing unity (the default desktop) with gnome (bigger better desktop) | 21:02 |
| trueneu | LanaMay, second refers to loopback interface, and third refers to all available usually. Not so sure about the first one, looks like some form of IPv6. | 21:02 |
| bekks | LanaMay: :::22 is IPv6 localhost Port 22, 127.0.0.1:22 is IPv4 localhost port 22, 0.0.0.0:22 is every IPv4 address configured in a system port 22. | 21:02 |
| escott | LanaMay, ::22 is an ip6 address for something that is all zeros and 22 at the end | 21:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GeekSquid, for what version? | 21:02 |
| escott | LanaMay, i dont know what :::22 would be | 21:02 |
| Atum | alooc | 21:03 |
| seferis | kunji: Aha! That helps a lot! Thank you! | 21:03 |
| trueneu | Ah, thanks bekks, that's useful about :::22. | 21:03 |
| GeekSquid | SonikkuAmerica: All versions of ubuntu desktop have the option of gnome | 21:03 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Hmm, I really don't know. Is this connect button in the dropdown menu for connections? | 21:03 |
| Tunnelpojken | Hi! Anyone here got any idea of how to remove unity and enable the gnome desktop? | 21:03 |
| alami | Zero_Chaos: i mean wpa accept only letter and number, and i mean if it's possible to make a dictionary with all possibility of word and letter less or equal to 64 | 21:03 |
| DJones | !nounity | Tunnelpojken | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Tunnelpojken: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 21:03 |
| rusfus_ | escott GeekSquid practically with "ssh-v sometimes-antisocial@192.168.1.64" in terminal it asks me to insert the psw which then tells me it wrong and gives me access denied | 21:04 |
| pasquale | !link | 21:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GeekSquid, are you talking the transitional package then? | 21:04 |
| LanaMay | escott: so if i have apache running on 22 on my local host, I have pv4 and pv6 traffic through it? or are each of these different ports | 21:04 |
| escott | rusfus_, the password is probably wrong | 21:04 |
| GeekSquid | Tunnelpojken: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment .... then login and when you login click on session.. 2 options gnome classic(which is gnome2) or gnome3 | 21:05 |
| trueneu | Maybe the password is... wrong? | 21:05 |
| GeekSquid | SonikkuAmerica: the transitional package installs the dependencies | 21:05 |
| escott | LanaMay, its the same port, just coming over a different ip version | 21:05 |
| kunji | LanaMay: I think you do, unless you disabled IPv6 | 21:05 |
| Tunnelpojken | GeekSquad! Thanks! :) | 21:05 |
| rusfus_ | escott how do I solve the problem? I is a doubt: but wants psw PC or router? | 21:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | GeekSquid: There's a better way to do it in 12.10, if that's what we're dealing with. | 21:06 |
| Tunnelpojken | Gonna check when the virtual machine get's on, but I believe I got 12.10 atm | 21:07 |
| LanaMay | escott: and kunji: thanks so much! | 21:07 |
| fronc | the remastrer sys wich programe look like it on windows | 21:08 |
| pasquale | !ciao | 21:08 |
| escott | bekks, shouldn't it be ::1:22 | 21:08 |
| pasquale | !link | 21:08 |
| bekks | escott: Oh, thats correct. | 21:09 |
| escott | bekks, thats still ambiguous... how does one distinguish the port from the ip | 21:09 |
| kunji | Hmm, where does gnome-network-manager keep it's settings (accessible via terminal)? Because it doesn't write them to where you would use if not using the network manager (/etc/network/interfaces). | 21:09 |
| escott | bekks, ::22 would be 0000:0000:0000:0022 right. ::1:22 could be 0000:0000:0001:0022 | 21:09 |
| rusfus_ | escott psw PC and exact, and the only thing that I have set up access automatically when the pc, but to install or uninstall programs that use the pwd and the usual | 21:10 |

| Arvendu | hello guys why python is taking too much ram :S | 21:14 |
| kunji | Arvendu: How much is it taking? | 21:15 |
| yeik | Arvendu, python is a language, is it an IDE that is taking up too much ram, or an application written in python you are running? | 21:15 |
| Arvendu | somtimes 100 MB and somtimes 200-300 | 21:16 |
| escott | LanaMay, also why do you have apache running on your ssh port? | 21:16 |
| kunji | yeik: I'm guessing he means IDLE, but I'm not sure | 21:16 |
| LanaMay | escott: i don't I was using that as an example for conceptual understanding | 21:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | No, he means IDE | 21:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !ide | 21:16 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 21:16 |
| escott | LanaMay, ok. well ::22 is not port 22 on localhost. [::1]:22 is | 21:17 |
| ozy | after installing from the liveCD, grub doesnt have the correct boot arguments -- it dropped the arguments I added when booting the live CD, and it has the wrong root= option -- where/how do I fix that? /etc/grub2.cfg is not here... | 21:17 |
| kunji | SonikkuAmerica: Yeah, the python IDE, IDLE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDLE_%28Python%29 | 21:17 |
| yeik | SonikkuAmerica, IDLE is a python IDE | 21:17 |

| rusfus_ | escott one thing that I was doing back mentr the installation of ssh. I use xubuntu and nautilus was not installed. and normal? I ask because I touched and install it from the terminal | 21:18 |
| ozy | escott: ty | 21:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | kunji, yeik: OK | 21:18 |
| escott | rusfus_, xubuntu would not include nautilus. that would be normal for xubuntu | 21:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | rusfus_: Xubuntu uses Thunar. Studio, however, uses Nautilus. | 21:19 |
| onitaL | Hi, how do I tell Ubuntu to build the virtualbox guest modules? only thru command line?. I do have dkms installed, but the kernel headers wasn't installed in the last upgrade | 21:19 |
| bekks | onitaL: Then you have to use the commandline, yes. | 21:19 |
| ozy | escott: I dont see how to change the root= option.... | 21:19 |
| yeik | Arvendu, what application is this exactly? | 21:19 |
| Arvendu | yeik ? | 21:19 |
| escott | ozy, its in your default grub line. root=UUID= | 21:19 |
| onitaL | bekks, why only the image was upgraded and not the headers? | 21:19 |
| LanaMay | escott: netstat -lnptu prints out with the same result.... i have sshd running a listener on all available(0.0.0.0:22) and the pv6-like one(:::22) | 21:20 |
| rusfus_ | SonikkuAmerica escott can 'be that's why I do not work and I recognize the psw? | 21:20 |
| yeik | Arvendu, are you using an application or trying to write in python? or you just opened task manager and see a python at 200 mb ram? | 21:20 |
| Arvendu | yes just task manager and see python | 21:20 |
| LanaMay | escott: sry i mean same result in zshell and bash shell, not that it would be diff | 21:20 |
| bekks | onitaL: Because the headers werent installed - so they couldnt be upgraded. | 21:20 |
| escott | ozy, looks like you have to disable that first if you dont want to use UUID. #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID then GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 21:20 |
| ozy | escott: I see how to disable the UUID line, | 21:21 |
| ozy | ah, ok | 21:21 |
| yeik | Arvendu, ok. What applications do you use on your computer? | 21:21 |
| === nik is now known as Guest784 | ||
| escott | rusfus_, no | 21:21 |
| onitaL | bekks, they were for the kernel before. However, i just noticed linux-headers-generic isn't | 21:21 |
| escott | LanaMay, ::::22 just seems wrong. i would not interpret that as a port. i would interpret that as 0:0:0:22. netstat probably needs a patch to get ipv6 printout correct | 21:22 |
| bekks | onitaL: And that package couldnt be upgraded because it wasnt installed. | 21:22 |
| toperharrier | theres any way to get upbar notifications on new xchat pms or calls in chat (i mean typing my username)? | 21:22 |
| rusfus_ | escott I give up for now thank you. | 21:22 |
| rusfus_ | Hello and good evening | 21:22 |
| Arvendu | can anyone tell me how to install hexchat? | 21:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | There's no apt-get package for it? | 21:23 |
| yeik | escott, i don't see anything wrong with that for ipv6 ports. although it is a little odd. | 21:23 |
| AaronMT | sudo apt-get install hexchat | 21:23 |
| escott | LanaMay, basically that :::22 is very easy to misparse. :: in an ipv6 means fill out to 128 bit with nibbles of 0000 | 21:23 |
| LanaMay | escott: okay, i have a new window manager, that is prob y it looks different | 21:23 |
| onitaL | SonikkuAmerica, hexchat or xchat? | 21:24 |
| unheeding | hexchat!? are you crazy | 21:24 |
| unheeding | irssi is the only irc client | 21:24 |
| LanaMay | oo | 21:24 |
| AaronMT | wrong | 21:24 |

| onitaL | ohh, excelent. Thanks for showing me hexchat :3 | 21:25 |
| LanaMay | escott: standards are good, but 128 bit address is nonsense right? | 21:25 |
| LanaMay | escott: so it would not do anything if it was misparsed? | 21:26 |
| escott | LanaMay, but :::22 is meant to be the same as [::]:22 and that is the same as [0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000]:22 (if i got enough nibbles) | 21:26 |

| unheeding | Arvendu: I don't know why you'd use hexchat though. Xchat is free on Linux | 21:27 |
| escott | LanaMay, ipv6 is 128 bit its ipv4 ^ 4th power | 21:27 |
| yeik | there are some beta ext3 drivers but it isn't suggested. if you need to have files seen between both filesystems, fat32 is suggested. | 21:27 |

| rzec | after I set my timezone with : dpkg-reconfigure tzdata : to UTC it automatically changes back to EST. Is there some else I need to do to change the timezone and keep it that way? | 21:29 |
| MoPac | I guess then the next question is: is there any better native way now to resize LUKS system partitions, or do I have to in terminal manually resize the filesystem, the dm-crypt, the volume, etc, etc,? | 21:29 |
| unheeding | rzec: have you tried changing your time zone? | 21:29 |
| escott | LanaMay, yeik is probably correct that :::22 will be properly parsed as a ip+port by a standards compliant parser... all i can say is that my brain is certainly not standards compliant | 21:29 |

| escott | MoPac, dangerous in that if you mess it up its all gone. yes | 21:33 |
| yeik | MoPac, depending on your partitions, it can be a major pain to resize again. I personally have partitions for several different folders, and swap. vs windows that just has 1 partition (windows 7 now includes a 100 mb partition at the beginning for proprietary things) | 21:33 |
| jatak | Alright, I've got a bit of an annoying problem. | 21:33 |
| Beast1 | I just opened a file browser with gksudo and sent some root owned files to the trash, only now I see that root does not have a Trash at least I can't find it. So where might these files have gone? | 21:33 |

| MoPac | escott: yeik: Is the resizing procedure at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4530641 the kind of thing that's very safe if you follow the steps, or risks messing it up even if you type the right things? | 21:34 |
| jatak | So I'm guessing that there's a separate folder somewhere full of binaries or symlinks for my apps. | 21:34 |
| jatak | But I don't know how to find it. | 21:35 |

| yeik | MoPac, shrinking partitions with encrypted data is complex, as well as expanding it. I am not very familiar with the LUKS encryption but that is usually entire partition/drive and I would suggest if you are going to do anything with resizing, backup all your data. | 21:38 |

| yeik | MoPac, really that guide looks decent, but there can always be unseen issues. if you are able to clone a drive, or create sufficient backups, you can try it if your restores give minimal downtime for you, it isn't a big deal. if it is critical and you can't make good backups. i would suggest against trying it. | 21:39 |
| escott | MoPac, and performance is going to suffer. | 21:39 |
| arvendu | kk | 21:39 |
| Beast1 | escott: Agreed. I just wanted to make sure the files were somewhere taking up space needlessly. | 21:39 |

| yeik | MoPac, why do you need full-disk encryption? | 21:40 |
| MoPac | yeik: Short answer is institutional requirement. | 21:41 |
| rzec | is there something on ubuntu server that automatically updates the timezone, seems like it keps getting reset every minute of the on the 20th second? | 21:41 |
| escott | MoPac, if the policy is you have to do it then you have to do it | 21:41 |
| dmku | escot: Why? There is way to turm on TRIM for LUKS, isn't it? | 21:41 |
| MoPac | Slightly longer answer is: potentially very sensitive data | 21:41 |
| Beast1 | escott: will do it line command next time | 21:41 |
| Richturd | I've got a faulty version of Ubuntu | 21:41 |
| escott | dmku, that would seem a bad idea. if you allow the fact that some block is blank to flow down through encryption layer that leaks information | 21:41 |
| yeik | MoPac, in linux though, the sensitive files are all in profiles. so unless you are worried about people seeing what programs are installed on the computer, shouldn't be an issue. | 21:41 |
| Richturd | anyone know how to fix my ubuntu | 21:42 |
| questo | Hi | 21:42 |
| bekks | Richturd: Which "faults" do you experience? | 21:42 |
| escott | dmku, imagine if you wanted to have a deniable hidden encrypted partititon that was unlocked with a different key. well you can't use trim on that disk anymore | 21:42 |
| questo | Microhphone trouble, all sound in the background get's picked up by the microphone | 21:42 |
| MoPac | yeik: Yeah, but needing a new SSD is a couple years is actually a lot less frustrating than trying to justify to a bureaucracy that breaking this FDE culture isn't a problem | 21:42 |
| escott | dmku, because i can tell that you are refusing to trim some blocks which amount to X-gigs | 21:42 |
| yeik | MoPac, I understand the requirement. I work with HIPPA. SSD drives are very horrible with read/write cycles as well. I have seen them die within a couple months. | 21:43 |
| MoPac | I've actually been using TrueCrypt with Win7 on this SSD, with it nearly full, for a couple of years with really great results | 21:43 |
| yeik | MoPac, years would be lucky on a ssd. especially with big files. I am gathering that you are installing linux and windows on this ssd? | 21:43 |
| Richturd | CAN I GET SOME HELP ABOUT MY UBUNTU | 21:43 |
| dmku | escott, i have to read more about. Thanks. | 21:44 |
| escott | !details | Richturd | 21:44 |
| ubottu | Richturd: 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 ..." | 21:44 |
| questo | am I the only one who experienced a performance dipp from 12.04 to 12.10? | 21:44 |
| yeik | MoPac, you must be lucky. i bought a ssd in November, no encryption. died last month. | 21:44 |
| trueneu | We use SSDs as hosts for some heavy loaded databases. No faults, half a year. Maybe we'll experience some in future though. | 21:44 |
| amiu | Richturd, !ask | 21:44 |
| amiu | bah | 21:44 |
| questo | !ask microphone trouble | 21:44 |
| ubottu | questo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:44 |
| MoPac | yeik: Indeed. I accept that I might need to replace the drive on short notice: that's okay. What's more important to me is not losing tons of time re-configuring everything when I do have to replace it, or resize the partitions, or whatnot | 21:44 |
| MoPac | yeik: My files are securely and redundantly backed up -- the annoying would come with needing to reconfigure all my OS settings and everything | 21:45 |
| yeik | MoPac, so it is going to be backed up then. you are just worried about configurations and partitions? | 21:45 |
| === debsan__ is now known as debsan | ||
| escott | MoPac, the problem is that encryption is by necessity in opposition to quickly resizing the disk | 21:45 |
| questo | I have a problem with my microphone, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS atm. The problem I'm having is that my microphone picks up all the background sound from the computer | 21:45 |
| escott | MoPac, so you better guess correctly about how much you need for linux/windows because its going to be painful if you have to change it later | 21:45 |
| MoPac | yeik: Right, so if I accept that I might need to wipe my Linux partitions and/or replace the whole disk, and I've got all my actual files backed up perfectly well, then is there an easy tool to back up my OS configuration? | 21:46 |
| yeik | MoPac, so if you want to have something to easily give to someone. the best option would be to keep something preconfigured without it encrypted. when its changed, change partitions, then encrypt and copy data. | 21:46 |
| Sendoushi | guys... how can i change display resolution? talking about ubuntu server | 21:46 |
| questo | For example, if i'm in a skype/teamspeak call and watching a youtube clip at the same time, my microphone then picks upp all the sound from youtube | 21:46 |
| questo | or whatever media is playing | 21:46 |
| escott | MoPac, alternately go conservative initially and leave some of the disk unused (this is better for the SSD anyways) you can add an additional encrypted volume to whatever OS needs it later | 21:46 |
| questo | and sends it to the microphone | 21:46 |
| Richturd | I am not able to use my mouse pad at all or my keyboards keys are glitchy | 21:47 |
| questo | Almost like an echo | 21:47 |
| yeik | MoPac, linux doesn't really need much backup. if you keep a list of software, all the settings per user are stored in the user folder. back that up and restore it and nobody will know any difference. | 21:47 |
| Richturd | I think Ill need a new version of Ubuntu or something | 21:47 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: kantlivelong, Looks like RTL8187L driver is preferable over RTL8187. You can get it off the Realtek site. | 21:47 |
| DeadWeasel | down to 2% packet loss | 21:47 |
| DeadWeasel | can connect to my wifi | 21:47 |
| questo | Can anyone shed some light on my microphone problem please? | 21:47 |
| escott | !clone | MoPac | 21:47 |
| ubottu | MoPac: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 21:47 |
| jatak | trism: Hey, that command you gave me just displays the apps pinned to the Unity sidebar | 21:47 |
| escott | !info etc-keeper | MoPac | 21:48 |
| ubottu | MoPac: Package etc-keeper does not exist in quantal | 21:48 |
| escott | !info etckeeper | MoPac | 21:48 |
| ubottu | MoPac: etckeeper (source: etckeeper): store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs. In component main, is optional. Version 0.61ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 28 kB, installed size 223 kB | 21:48 |
| MoPac | yeik: escott: So there's no equivalent of, say, a Windows system restore point. But if I tell Crashplan to back up all my OS folders in addition to my user files (with Win you just ignore the OS files), I can easily restore the OS back? | 21:48 |
| jatak | trism: I meant there are multiple applications launchers in the Unity launcher thing | 21:48 |
| escott | MoPac, snapshots in btrfs | 21:48 |
| jatak | trism: The "start menu" | 21:48 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Hmm, 2% still isn't good, but at least it's working, and it's much better than what it was. | 21:48 |
| Richturd | !ask | 21:48 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:48 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel:Thanks for letting us know what happened with that | 21:48 |
| DeadWeasel | it's holding around 3.3. kunji | 21:48 |
| jatak | trism: The dash is what I meant | 21:48 |
| DeadWeasel | I'll keep on it. It was the ALFA awus036h USB wifi card | 21:49 |
| Richturd | I AM UNABLE TO USE ALL THE KEYS ON MY KEYBOARDS OR MY MOUSE VERY WELL | 21:49 |
| questo | My microphone picks up all the sound on my computer and sends it through the microphone, | 21:49 |
| Richturd | SINCE I GOT UBUNTU | 21:49 |
| escott | MoPac, putting /home on a different partition. the think about open-source is that since the software is free reinstalling isnt such a big deal (you dont have to hunt for disks and license keys) | 21:49 |
| jatak | Richturd: How about you turn off caps lock before asking for help. | 21:49 |
| yeik | MoPac, best thing to do is test it. as long as it does file permissions it shouldn't be an issue. not the best route but easy to do. | 21:50 |
| Richturd | then someone answer jatak | 21:50 |
| escott | Richturd, PLEASE DONT YELL. also what does that mean cant use them well? | 21:50 |
| kunji | !details | Richturd | 21:50 |
| ubottu | Richturd: 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 ..." | 21:50 |
| MoPac | escott: It's not so much the package installs that are such a headache, but all the settings tweaks: it can take me a whole afternoon or a day to get Cinnamon the way I want it, for example | 21:50 |
| escott | MoPac, backup $HOME | 21:50 |
| DaemonicApathy | What would be the best way to fix issues resulting from the deletion of /tmp and /var/tmp ? | 21:50 |
| jatak | Richturd: If nobody answers, then either you didn't ask the question properly, or nobody here knows the answer | 21:50 |
| yeik | MoPac, those are stored in the user folder or /home | 21:50 |
| Richturd | I am unable to use my left clicker or my mouse pad clicker and I cant use all the keys on my keyboards | 21:50 |
| Richturd | *keyboard | 21:50 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, recreate /tmp and /var/tmp and reboot | 21:50 |
| questo | I have a perculiar microphone issue. My microphone doesn't only send my voice, but all the sound on my computer. all media playing gets sent through the microphone. So i can never skype conversate with anyone because of all the background sound emitting from my end | 21:51 |
| amiu | sounds like they are broken | 21:51 |
| amiu | @ Richturd | 21:51 |
| DaemonicApathy | escott: That seems to cause a login loop. | 21:51 |
| yeik | SonikkuAmerica, just like that huh? interesting. | 21:51 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, do you have the sticky bit set on those directories? | 21:51 |
| questo | It's almost like my microphone is set to "What you hear" all the time | 21:51 |
| jatak | Richturd: You might have to install a driver for your touchpad. As for your keyboard, I wouldn't have a clue. | 21:51 |
| MoPac | escott: yeik: Ah okay, sorry for the noob-ness. As a Win user, I'm used to knowing what's stored in Program Files, what's in C:/Windows, and what's in the user AppData folder, and I really don't know when it comes to Ubuntu things | 21:51 |
| DaemonicApathy | escott: No idea. | 21:51 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, should be 777+sticky | 21:51 |
| Richturd | do I need a new version of UBUNTU, because ever since I installed this version of ubuntu it's happened | 21:52 |
| jatak | Richturd: What version are you using? | 21:52 |
| escott | !fhs | MoPac | 21:52 |
| ubottu | MoPac: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 21:52 |
| quandtum | Richturd: why don't you share your version of Ubuntu so folks can help. Can't tell if you need a new version if we don't know your current version. | 21:52 |
| amiu | you need to stop bashing your keyboard and mouse | 21:52 |
| jatak | Yes, that would helpt too | 21:52 |
| Richturd | HOw do I find out what version it is? | 21:52 |
| Richturd | quandtum | 21:52 |
| jatak | Are you using Unity? | 21:52 |
| DaemonicApathy | Quantum Quetzal is 12.10 | 21:53 |
| kunji | Richturd: Hmm, maybe you installed from a corrupted disc/usb, did you make sure to do a checksum before installing? | 21:53 |
| questo | Is there anyone online that can try to shed some light on my microphone issue? | 21:53 |
| MoPac | I've read the system tree overview, but I still found myself not intuitively knowing, e.g., if I tell a Cinnamon applet extension not to pop up a dialog window when I do X, where in the filesystem is that? I know it's something I'll just have to feel out over time. In the meantime, I'm hoping to be able to do a pretty comprehensive backup | 21:53 |
| DaemonicApathy | escott: Can I actually put "777+sticky" into chmod? | 21:53 |
| jatak | Richturd: Just click the little "gear" icon in the upper right corner of the screen, then click "About this computer" | 21:53 |
| Richturd | I didnt do the install kunji | 21:53 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, no | 21:53 |
| jatak | jatak: By that I mean the shutdown menu icon | 21:53 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, you would have to lookup how to set the sticky bit | 21:53 |
| DaemonicApathy | escott: Ok, thought I was going crazy for a moment. I can handle that, thanks. | 21:54 |
| escott | DaemonicApathy, o+s maybe... not sure | 21:54 |
| Richturd | jatak there is no gear icon in the upper right hand | 21:54 |
| Richturd | theres only the power icon | 21:54 |
| questo | Hello, I have a problem with my microphone, my issue is that it keeps picking up background sound and sends it through the microphone when I talk. can someone help me? | 21:54 |
| kunji | questo: Hmm, could you give some more details | 21:54 |
| jatak | Richturd: Yeah that's what I meant | 21:54 |
| quandtum | Richturd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckingYourUbuntuVersion | 21:54 |
| questo | kunji, my microphone picks up all the background sound on my computer | 21:55 |
| jatak | Richturd: I forgot I have a different icon theme, sorry | 21:55 |
| escott | MoPac, easier way. you run as MoPac. you can only modify files in /home/MoPac and /tmp. /tmp is deleted on reboot so its definitely not there. therefore it must be in /home/MoPac | 21:55 |
| kunji | questo: Isn't that normally how a microphone works? | 21:55 |
| arvendu | how can i open /home/user/.mozilla ? | 21:55 |
| questo | kunji, it's only supposed to send my voice, not youtube sounds for instance | 21:55 |
| questo | kunji, it doesn't "isolate" my voice | 21:55 |
| escott | arvendu, open nautilus. ctrl-L "/home/user/.mozilla" | 21:55 |
| MoPac | escott: That's a very helpful rule of thumb; thanks | 21:55 |
| yeik | questo, are you using headphones? | 21:55 |
| Taylr0x | Is it just 'sudo apt-get update' I need to type to update my system or is there another command to go along with it? | 21:56 |
| questo | yeik, I am using a headset | 21:56 |
| === kaputt-nik is now known as _nik_ | ||
| DaemonicApathy | Taylr0x: after that, sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:56 |
| questo | yeik, it's almost like my microhone is set to "What you hear" all the time, if you know what I'm saying | 21:56 |
| escott | Taylor, update just updates the list of software that could be installed. upgrade installs the safe stuff. dist-upgrade the potentially dangerous stuff | 21:56 |
| === _nik_ is now known as kaputt-nik | ||
| kunji | questo: Oh, should have said so, so you're saying the sound routing inside your machine isn't right, I don't think that has to do with your mic at all | 21:56 |
| questo | kunji, I guess so | 21:56 |
| Taylr0x | Thanks DaemonicApathy & escott. | 21:57 |
| yeik | questo, if the microphone can hear the things coming from the speakers, it will send it on. it doesn't discriminate on sounds it picks up. | 21:57 |
| questo | kunji, I have no clue what to do about it tough | 21:57 |
| yeik | other than that, kunji is right. and that gets a little more complicated but should be easy to fix. | 21:57 |
| questo | yeik, I am not using speakers, I am using headphones/headset | 21:57 |
| yeik | yeah, but if you have the music loud enough, it still can be picked up. not very common but it does happen. | 21:58 |
| questo | yeik, kunji any suggestions? | 21:58 |
| kunji | questo: First thing I would check is the sound settings through the normal settings menu in Ubuntu. After that I would probably go on the command line and see what can be changed by using alsamixer | 21:58 |
| Sendoushi | how can i create a file with console? | 21:58 |
| escott | Sendoushi, touch filename | 21:59 |
| Sendoushi | touch? | 21:59 |
| DaemonicApathy | questo, in the sound settings, what is your input device? | 21:59 |
| jatak | Sendoushi: That's the command | 21:59 |
| jatak | touch filename | 21:59 |
| NaN123 | using a text editor | 21:59 |
| Sendoushi | thanks | 21:59 |
| Sendoushi | it worked :) | 21:59 |
| questo | DaemonicApathy, On the input tab it says Microphone, which is weird | 21:59 |
| yeik | Sendoushi, what are you trying to do? | 21:59 |
| DaemonicApathy | Switch to headphones, then back to microphone. Test, and let us know. | 21:59 |
| Sendoushi | yeik: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ | 21:59 |
| questo | DaemonicApathy, wait, just a sec | 22:00 |
| DeadWeasel | when looking at LSMOD, what does USED BY number signify? | 22:00 |
| kunji | questo:I think having mic there is normal, the trouble is that something else is being output to the mic I think | 22:00 |
| yeik | Sendoushi why do you need to create a file from the console with that tutorial? | 22:00 |
| onitaL | 22:00 | |
| ShukkoO | Hello, is there annyone that can please give me a link to a howto where i can replace my macOS to ubuntu. The last one i tryed gave me an bad OS :( | 22:00 |
| onitaL | !apropos account | 22:01 |
| questo | kunji, yes | 22:01 |
| Sendoushi | yeik: "create a /etc..." | 22:01 |
| bekks | DeadWeasel: The number of other modules using this specific module. | 22:01 |
| Sendoushi | to config the 10gen i guess | 22:01 |
| questo | DaemonicApathy, doesn't help | 22:01 |
| DeadWeasel | bekks: thanks, so if it's listed at all, at least one module is using it? | 22:01 |
| yeik | Sendoushi, ahh. that line, it wants you to edit the file, nano, vi, ed, are all good programs to edit a file | 22:01 |
| Sendoushi | yep i've used nano | 22:01 |
| DaemonicApathy | questo, ok then, alsamixer in the command line was a good suggestion | 22:01 |
| bekks | DeadWeasel: No. If it is listed at all, it is loaded at least. | 22:01 |
| jatak | Or gedit | 22:01 |
| Sendoushi | i'm understanding more of the linux console now :) | 22:01 |
| yeik | ok. | 22:01 |
| Sendoushi | i installed vim but... for what i want... i just removed | 22:02 |
| DeadWeasel | bekks: ok | 22:02 |
| yeik | nano can create files too, so you don't have to use touch first. | 22:02 |
| Sendoushi | ah... ok then | 22:02 |
| Taylr0x | How do you do a search for software via the terminal? | 22:02 |
| Sendoushi | it's good to know also so... | 22:02 |
| Sendoushi | now... how can i do a nfs folder so i can access on the host OS ? | 22:02 |
| yeik | Taylr0x, what do you mean, are you looking for where? or software to install? | 22:02 |
| kunji | DaemonicApathy: Do you know the sound system in Ubuntu well? Because after alsamixer I'm kind of stumped for general troubleshooting... the linux sound system could use some simplification. | 22:03 |
| Taylr0x | yeik, I'm trying to find Open Office to install. But can't seem to find it on the software centre? | 22:03 |
| yeik | Sendoushi, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-export-directory-with-nfs4/ for linux export nfs | 22:03 |
| g16 | Taylor: apt-get install libreoffice | 22:03 |
| Sendoushi | thanks mate :) | 22:03 |
| g16 | OpenOffice.org is defunct. | 22:03 |
| g16 | .. or slowly dying | 22:04 |
| DaemonicApathy | kunji: I used to, but for now I'm kind of limited. :-) | 22:04 |
| jatak | Does anyone know how to find where an application shortcut in the Unity Dash is pointing to? | 22:04 |
| questo | DaemonicApathy, I think I've solved it | 22:04 |
| mugsy__ | pulseaudio volume control app can be helpful | 22:04 |
| DaemonicApathy | g16: might want to s/libreoffice/libreoffice* | 22:04 |
| * yeik agrees that the linux sound system has its issues. you have several different ways of doing things and sometimes it just doesn't work right. | 22:04 | |
| gueriLLaPunK | anyone familar with x2go? I want my programs to be running even if I log out of it. how do i do that? | 22:04 |
| mugsy__ | it's more verbose and lets you see all the inputs etc | 22:04 |
| questo | DaemonicApathy, lowered some stuff and now it doesn't pick up | 22:05 |
| jatak | I have multiple copies of the same application in the Unity Dash, so I think that there's multiple shortcuts in different locations | 22:05 |
| bekks | jatak: There arent multiple shortcuts. All you can see is the same thing twice. | 22:05 |
| jatak | bekks: Yes, but why would it show the same thing twice? | 22:06 |
| kunji | questo:Oh hmm, interesting, might even have been crosstalk on some wires because of the volume rather than an actual source/sink issue. | 22:06 |
| ShukkoO | Hello, is there annyone that can please give me a link to a howto where i can replace my macOS to ubuntu. The last one i tryed gave me an bad OS :(. | 22:06 |
| bekks | jatak: Thats a question I cant answer, because I never experienced that particular problem. | 22:06 |
| g16 | DaemonicApathy: thank you | 22:06 |
| mugsy__ | questo: have you tried looking at the levels in pavucontrol? | 22:06 |
| bekks | jatak: But basically, there is no such folder where the content of the starter is stored. | 22:07 |
| jatak | bekks: Oh, an I uninstalled LibreOffice earlier, but there are still those extra shortcuts in the dash | 22:07 |
| Taylr0x | g16, DaemonicApathy, what is the difference between the two commands you both typed? | 22:07 |
| kunji | questo: This might be helpful if you have any other sound issue later: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 22:07 |
| questo | mugsy__, will do that now | 22:07 |
| questo | kunji, thanks alot | 22:07 |
| jatak | bekks: I know there *shouldn't* be a folder like that, but what I'm saying is maybe a I (or some program) created a directory full of symlinks | 22:08 |
| DaemonicApathy | Taylr0x: apt-get install libreoffice* will install all the components. No *, probably no luck without specifying which component. | 22:08 |
| KxTwo | hey guys are there any console emulators for linux? So far all my em's are for windows | 22:08 |
| g16 | Without *, it brings a functional LO on my system. | 22:08 |
| bekks | jatak: Which did not happen, as I told you three times now. :) | 22:08 |
| g16 | Never tried the *-version | 22:08 |
| kunji | KxTwo: There are indeed | 22:08 |
| bekks | KxTwo: Whats an "em"? | 22:08 |
| kunji | bekks: Short for emulator I guess | 22:09 |
| jatak | bekks: You don't know that, and repeating it three times doesn't make it any more true | 22:09 |
| Taylr0x | So am I typing apt-get install s/libreoffice/libreoffice* ? | 22:09 |
| KxTwo | kunji, what consoles??? | 22:09 |
| bekks | jatak: Well, then prove me wrong, once you found out "the truth". | 22:09 |
| Richturd | when was the new version of ubuntu released? and where can I obtain it? | 22:09 |

| KxTwo | I'd love a ps2 emulator but I hear they are buggy and need a ton of power | 22:11 |
| bekks | Richturd: Watch your language. | 22:11 |
| Richturd | bekks: how old is the version before this new one? | 22:12 |
| kunji | OerHeks:Right, there used to be a PS one in the repos, it's been gone for ages though, I'm sure a ppa or something can be found though | 22:12 |
| bekks | Richturd: The current version was released in October 2012. | 22:12 |

| OerHeks | kunji, KxTwo and see this post > http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11381491&postcount=3 old but still valid i think | 22:12 |
| Richturd | bekks: do you like it? | 22:12 |

| KxTwo | nice link OerHeks, how did you find that so quickly! | 22:13 |

| Taylr0x | Richturd, what version are you running at the moment? | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | KxTwo, some games can run slow, but it all depends on amount ram available and your CPU/driver | 22:14 |
| Richturd | Taylr0x: i dont know, i didnt install it | 22:14 |
| Sendoushi | how do you do a { on server? is it with altgr? | 22:14 |
| Taylr0x | Richturd, have a nose through your menu and you should be able to find something that will give you the information on the current install. usually reads 'about' etc | 22:15 |
| KxTwo | OerHeks, I should be fine for older systems up until at least n64. Not sure if my laptop can handle anything higher than that. I am running 4 gigs of ram with a turion dual core | 22:15 |
| Richturd | I'm running 2.6.38 with Linux, Taylr0x | 22:15 |
| jatak | Richturd: ...I don't think you are | 22:16 |
| Taylr0x | Richturd, as an alternative, download the current 12.10 release and boot from a CD or USB stick (Live CD) and see if it works in the new version. If so, reinstall. | 22:16 |
| Richturd | Thats what it says at the boot up screen jatak | 22:16 |
| kunji | KxTwo: http://www.epsxe.com/download.php not sure what you need to do to run it, but it's available in executable form, will probably run out of the box. | 22:16 |
| jatak | Richturd: That would be the kernel version, you don't need to worry about it | 22:16 |
| bekks | 2.6.38 is a horrible old kernel :) | 22:16 |
| Richturd | jatak I dont know what that means im a linux/ubuntu uber noob | 22:17 |
| bekks | Richturd: So which Ubuntu version do you run currently? | 22:17 |
| kunji | KxTwo:Well, with the bios of course, which we won't be talking about here | 22:17 |
| jatak | Richturd: Like I said before, click the power icon in the upper-right hand corner, then click "About this computer" | 22:17 |
| KxTwo | ?? | 22:17 |
| Richturd | bekks that one | 22:17 |
| Richturd | 2.6.38 | 22:17 |
| bekks | Richturd: Thats not an UBUNTU version, but a KERNEL version. | 22:17 |
| onitaL | c: | 22:17 |
| bekks | Richturd: Whats the output of "lsb_release -sd" in a terminal? | 22:18 |
| kunji | bekks: Sounds like 12.04 though right? | 22:18 |
| bekks | kunji: Sound more like 10.04 :) | 22:18 |
| Richturd | thats great bekks so what do I do if I want my asus eeepc 701 to run smoother | 22:18 |
| KxTwo | oh nice | 22:18 |
| DaemonicApathy | Alright, I'm back in business. Thanks for the permissions help, I haven't dealt with tmp folders much. | 22:18 |
| KxTwo | I can get pcsx right from software center | 22:18 |
| bekks | Richturd: First, you have to answer my question. | 22:18 |
| kunji | bekks: Oh, hmm | 22:18 |
| KxTwo | really wish they listed hw requirements | 22:18 |
| Richturd | bekks how do i get to the terminal from my desktop? | 22:19 |
| kunji | bekks: Ah, 11.04 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases | 22:19 |
| bekks | Richturd: By clicking the menu item which is named "Terminal". | 22:19 |
| Taylr0x | Is there a standard Firewall that everyone runs nowdays or do people still rely on just common sense and the solid restrictions of the OS itself? | 22:19 |
| DeadWeasel | how to tell which WIFI driver i am ACTUALLY using? | 22:19 |
| bekks | 11.04? Thats not supported anymore. | 22:20 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: I believe with modprobe, but I'm not sure how exactly | 22:20 |
| gueriLLaPunK | so if i want to run a program at start up (eg. a program in WINE) do i make a cron job or something? | 22:20 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: thanks, i'm looking it up | 22:20 |
| onitaL | kunji, DeadWeasel not modprobe, but lsmod | 22:21 |
| Richturd | bekks I think I should just reboot and maybe that'll take me to the terminal because there is no terminal in the menu | 22:21 |
| onitaL | DeadWeasel, try wpa_cli status | 22:21 |
| kunji | onitaL: Ah, thanks, my bad | 22:21 |
| bekks | Richturd: Which will not take you to a terminal. And your Ubuntu version isnt supported anymore, if it is 11.04 - and there IS a menu entry named "Terminal". | 22:22 |
| mandoguit | DeadWeasel: install the following cuts down on a lot of messing around when figuring out what is installed etc imho http://code.google.com/p/inxi/ | 22:22 |
| Richturd | its not 11.04 it's 2.6.38!!!! | 22:22 |
| Zeduke | does anyone have steam working on 12.10? | 22:22 |
| Richturd | i hate this damn thing | 22:22 |
| bekks | Richturd: No. The KERNEL version is 2.6.38, which is NOT the UBUNTU version. You already have been told that. | 22:23 |
| |nv|s|b|e | Richturd> go to menu / admin / system monitor | 22:23 |
| kunji | Richturd: 11.04 would be the Ubuntu release corresponding to that kernel. Released in the 4th month of 2011, see the Table of versions here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases | 22:23 |

| DeadWeasel | i have downloaded them, make clean, make install, etc. rebooted. still on old driver. | 22:45 |
| Senjai | DeadWeasel: Ubuntu doesnt support many of the proprietary drivers for hardware. | 22:45 |

| DeadWeasel | I'm fed up | 22:46 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Hmm, I don't think it's all that bad, it's something I haven't had to do yet though. I think it basically consists of installing the new driver and blacklisting the old one to make sure it doesn't load. | 22:46 |

| === juzprawiedaz is now known as DaZ | ||
| Senjai | DeadWeasel: yes it is possible, to answer your question, you can hook a disk drive up to your sound card and use it. It is definitely possible to route internet through another device | 22:47 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: what error do you get | 22:47 |
| KxTwo | No error, it just tries to connect for a while then pops up with the password screen | 22:47 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: I can recommend something better than a card, TP-Link has a nano router powered through usb that can be used in an adapter mode to provide wireless through the ethernet connection. | 22:47 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: restart networking or the computer and try again. | 22:48 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: either that or its not interacting with DHCP properly and you might have to setup a static IP | 22:48 |
| KxTwo | Senjai I have tried all the basic stuff, thats why Im here. | 22:48 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: that sounds like another pile of problems, have you tried this in 12.04 x64? | 22:48 |
| KxTwo | senjai its a school network no static ip | 22:48 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: Uhh yea, school networks use a different infrastructure than your standard WiFi, and you need to be able to identify that infrastructure before you can connect to it. | 22:49 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: The router, yes, the connection are both very basic right, it's just using the usb connect for power, so to the computer it looks like it's on a wired network just using ethernet | 22:49 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: generic home/small business wifi should be no issue | 22:49 |
| KxTwo | Well it connects to the open network | 22:49 |
| KxTwo | slowly though, just not the secured one | 22:49 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: Yes, but it doesnt have to auth to it. | 22:49 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: Authenticated to a network like that is a whole different story | 22:49 |
| Senjai | !networking | KxTwo | 22:49 |

| kunji | DeadWeasel: I can also connect the router to a switch instead and provide internet to a bunch of wired machines | 22:50 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Yeah | 22:50 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: Its one of the things ubuntu doesnt do well on its own and you have to tinke rwith. | 22:50 |
| KxTwo | what is the fix? | 22:50 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: basic NANO model? | 22:50 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: you have to mimic the networks configuration | 22:50 |
| michal_ | how can i instal league of legend on ubuntu? | 22:50 |
| KxTwo | I've had no problem with any of the other systems I've done this too. | 22:50 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: meaning you need to know a little about how linux/gnu works. | 22:50 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: Or there's a pretty good dongle TP-Link has as well that you can probably find for < 10$ on Amazon | 22:50 |
| Senjai | KxTwo: No two systems are identical | 22:50 |
| DeadWeasel | kunji: gotta go take the lamb roast out and eat it, back, well, sometime... thank you for all your help! | 22:50 |
| KxTwo | oi vey | 22:50 |
| KxTwo | ok thanks | 22:50 |
| Senjai | michal_: Wine, but its not supported. | 22:51 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel:No problem, I'll go find that dongle as well so I can give you the model number | 22:51 |

| Atum | Hey Fels | 22:51 |
| Fels | i wanted to install ubuntu as a 2nd choice on my Win 7 | 22:52 |
| Fels | how can I do this | 22:52 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel: It's a TP-Link TL-WN821N | 22:52 |
| Atum | You can dual-boot your system | 22:52 |
| Fels | Atum, even thought I already running hte win 7 for about a year and I rely on it and cannot trash it | 22:53 |
| Senjai | !install | Fels | 22:53 |

| Atum | Fels, check http://bit.ly/33jLwN | 22:53 |
| Atum | Fels, you can install it on a unnused HD space, by partitioning it | 22:54 |
| Fels | what about "Live" ?? | 22:55 |
| dunleavy | can any one assist with kvm guest bridge problems on ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 22:55 |

| Senjai | Atum: please only reccomend the officiall !install reccomendations. | 22:55 |
| dunleavy | enabled all settings as per the wiki for sysctl.conf and parse the changes | 22:55 |

| dr_willis_ | Fels: a live cd is not an installed system.. so works a little differntly | 22:56 |
| Fels | dr_willis_, thx - I need to run the mobile dev tools - | 22:57 |
| dr_willis_ | no idea what you mean by mobile dev tools.. | 22:57 |
| Fels | Ubuntu mobile. ? | 22:58 |
| kunji | DeadWeasel:http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WN821N-Wireless-N-802-11b-Wireless/dp/B002D5EIT4 Hmm, I guess prices went up (I got it around black friday I guess. Here is the router I mentioned: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=33-704-134 It's just a little bit annoying to set up because you need to assign your comp a static ip on the same subnet to configure it, but after that it just works | 22:58 |
| oojava | Hi I was wondering if there was a way to make a live cd that could not install on the host computer? I'm going to be giving a live cd to some of my not so tech savy friends to try and want to make sure that destruction of all of their files is not a click away... | 22:58 |
| meelu | what is easy method adding ipv6 block | 23:00 |
| === grep is now known as Guest64190 | ||
| Senjai | meelu: gotta be more specific | 23:00 |
| meelu | my isp provided gateway netmask and ip with /64 | 23:00 |
| escott | oojava, you could make a liveusb with persistent storage and then remove ubiquity or you could just install to a usb directly. otherwise look for a non-distro based livecd | 23:00 |
| Senjai | oojava: its really simple. As long as they dont select the "Use whole drive" option | 23:00 |
| Senjai | err nvm | 23:01 |
| Senjai | dont listen to me | 23:01 |
| mandoguit | or rewritable dvd/cd | 23:02 |
| oojava | oh ok I'll lookinto that... so if I install to a usb it wont allow for full install? | 23:02 |
| dr_willis_ | a full install to usb wont allow for installing to the hd.. but they could still access ther windows stuff and delete junk. ;) | 23:02 |
| escott | oojava, if it doesnt have ubiquity it doesnt have the installer | 23:03 |
| oojava | thanks dr_willis_ | 23:03 |
| Senjai | dr_willis_: that's my favorite part. | 23:03 |
| oojava | escott: how do i remove the ubinquity | 23:03 |
| Senjai | dr_willis_: I remember when someone was argueing with me saying windows is secure and cant be physically broken in too. Couldnt believe I could do it with a USB stick haha. | 23:03 |
| Senjai | Good times. | 23:03 |

| === Guest2289 is now known as Seeking | ||
| oojava | wow thanks for the help all im going to go do more research | 23:04 |
| kunji | oojava:Why give them a liveCD? You can do a full install to a usb instead, and that will not have ubiquity (I think) | 23:04 |
| oojava | ok how much space do i need on the usb inorder to fully install | 23:05 |
| kunji | Anybody know if ubiquity is installed during the install process? I think it's not, but I'm not sure | 23:05 |
| dr_willis_ | physical access to a box = very little security | 23:05 |
| KxTwo | why would software show up on the software list but then say I can't download it. | 23:05 |
| kunji | oojava: Like 4 gigs, I would go for an 8 though | 23:05 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: we would need a more specific error message.. like one from the apt-get install command | 23:06 |
| oojava | kunji: k thanks | 23:06 |
| meelu | Hello again, I need to setup ipv6 on my server which has ubuntu 12.x, I have the Gateway, Netmask and Ip/64. Can anyone give me the easiest method which i can use with ubuntu please, i tried editing /etc/network/interfaces but it doesn't seem to make any difference. | 23:06 |

| KxTwo | ubuntu software center, zsnes emulator no install option, more options says: There isn’t a software package called “zsnes” in your current software sources. | 23:06 |

| meelu | escot, i don't see the ip given to me with ip -6 addr show dev eth0 | 23:07 |
| meelu | though | 23:07 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: its in the universe repo. what ubuntu reelase are you using? | 23:07 |
| meelu | escott, * | 23:08 |
| KxTwo | 12.04 | 23:08 |
| kunji | meelu: I thought ipv6 was used out of the box? Hmm, I haven't really played with ipv6 yet though. Probably also ask in ##networking | 23:08 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: be sure universe is enabled. then do a sudo apt-get update. and sudo apt-get upgrade. and try installing it again | 23:08 |
| oojava | one last novice question if they download or install anything using apt-get (like if I demo the command to them) will it messup or leave a trace on their windows box? | 23:09 |
| escott | meelu, where are you and what kind of connection to the internet do you have? | 23:09 |
| KxTwo | where do you go to do that? | 23:09 |
| KxTwo | im in software sources | 23:09 |
| Senjai | oojava: no. | 23:09 |
| meelu | escott, is this relevant? | 23:09 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: use the terminal. | 23:09 |
| escott | meelu, yes | 23:09 |
| Senjai | oojava: if your using persistent storage no | 23:10 |
| Senjai | oojava: otherwise you cant install anything anyway. Or if you install onto their disk drive. | 23:10 |
| KxTwo | dr_willis_, I do not know how to enable or check repos in terminal | 23:10 |
| meelu | escott, the server is in netherlands, the ipv6 works, i forgot how i set it up before. Just reinstalled the server again. | 23:10 |
| kunji | oojava: Nope, it will install the packages to the USB drive in the case of a full install. In the case of the liveCD they are installed to the virtual disc per se and will not survive a reboot. | 23:10 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: use the gui apps if you want to be sure universe is enableed. | 23:10 |
| KxTwo | dr_willis_, thats what im asking about lol | 23:10 |
| oojava | thanks kunji and Senjai | 23:11 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: then use the terminal to do the update/upgrade | 23:11 |
| KxTwo | I thought it was under the synaptic package manager and software sources | 23:11 |
| escott | meelu, ok. i just wanted to make sure you werent some residential internet user whose isp may or may not have enabled them | 23:11 |
| dr_willis_ | use the dash to search for 'software sources' perhaps | 23:11 |
| meelu | thanks. | 23:12 |
| KxTwo | thats wher eim at | 23:12 |
| KxTwo | you can access it through a few different ways | 23:12 |
| KxTwo | but see no option for universe repo | 23:12 |
| KxTwo | wait yes I do | 23:13 |
| KxTwo | and its already activate | 23:13 |
| Sendoushi | so... i've made some nfs shares. gone to mac os and stroked it and it finds a open port and tcp on this ip. when i try to connect to the nfs server it says: "You do not have permission to access this server" | 23:13 |
| KxTwo | ok dr_willis_ I did it and still no luck | 23:14 |
| KxTwo | !zsnes | 23:15 |
| oojava | just saw that there is also a live cd that works for mac does this allow the same root access that the live cd does on windows? | 23:15 |
| dr_willis_ | KxTwo: did what exactlky.. and what error messages? use pastebin for long pasted./ | 23:16 |
| KxTwo | its the same as before | 23:16 |
| KxTwo | universe is enabled | 23:16 |
| KxTwo | I updated and upgrade | 23:16 |

| Sendoushi | iceroot: /Users/user/Desktop | 23:36 |
| escott | kevinch, du will take a long time | 23:36 |
| tama92 | I have an android device and tablet and they both can't connect | 23:36 |
| kevinch | okay | 23:36 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: which system is using such strange folders? | 23:36 |
| Sendoushi | mac os | 23:36 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: ... | 23:36 |
| tama92 | They are stuck at "obtaining IP address" | 23:36 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: ##aple ##jail or something like that, ask them how to access nfs | 23:37 |
| Oakdawg | do i select nomodeset? | 23:37 |
| escott | Sendoushi, i always thought it was /Users | 23:37 |
| tama92 | Seems to be a dhcp problem | 23:37 |
| Sendoushi | iceroot: anyway ubuntu side is ok right? | 23:37 |
| Senjai | tama92: that is a problem with your router. Nothing on your computer should be able to affect the router | 23:37 |
| Senjai | tama92: I agree | 23:37 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: and dont mount something directly into an existing folder, specially not in Desktop | 23:37 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: ubuntu side is fine | 23:37 |
| Senjai | tama92: you can fix that bit assigning static IP addresses to your computer | 23:37 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: the export files is looking fine | 23:37 |
| Sendoushi | ok thanks for all :) | 23:37 |
| escott | tama92, perhaps yours router is misconfigured to only give out a single ip address | 23:37 |
| Senjai | tama92: I generally stay away from DHCP | 23:38 |
| tama92 | But when I turn off the wifi on the computer, they can connect again :/ | 23:38 |
| Sendoushi | iceroot: permissions fine right? | 23:39 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: yes | 23:39 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: for reading yes, not for writing | 23:39 |
| Oakdawg | anyone able to answer that question i asked? | 23:39 |
| tama92 | I already tried disabling the dhcp setting of the router, but it didn't work | 23:40 |
| Sendoushi | iceroot: ooohhh how can i set it to write? | 23:40 |
| Senjai | Oakdawg: I cant understand your issue, you're description is very garbeled | 23:40 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: nfs will by default dont use the user root (uid 0), it will always connect you as nobody when using root by default | 23:40 |
| Senjai | tama92: leave it on on the router, you assign static Ips using your computer, not the router, so it requests specific static information everytime | 23:40 |
| tama92 | Also, when using Windows, all the devices can connect | 23:40 |
| Sendoushi | iceroot: sorry but... what does that have to do with writing abilities? dont the nobody has the same permissions? | 23:41 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: no | 23:41 |
| brightknight | How to change the hard disk encryption password? | 23:41 |
| Oakdawg | my display goes all funny looking when installing... which f6 other options selection do i use to fix this on the install | 23:41 |
| JuJuBee | Oakdawg: have you tried the "nomodeset" boot option? | 23:41 |
| bean | !nomodeset | Oakdawg | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Oakdawg: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:41 |
| escott | brightknight, luks or ecryptfs | 23:41 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: rwxr-xr-x means the owner (root) can write (w) the group and others can only read (r) and execute (x) | 23:41 |
| Sendoushi | iceroot: on apple channel they are telling me i should be using SMB | 23:41 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: and nfs is mapping root to "nobody" | 23:42 |
| Oakdawg | ok that was what i had thought just wanted to make sure | 23:42 |
| nomodeset | Please don't call me! | 23:42 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: smb is fine | 23:42 |
| bean | lol, nomodeset | 23:42 |
| brightknight | escott: I think it is luks it was the one used during setup. | 23:42 |
| Sendoushi | i'll jsut delete the nfs package and do that | 23:42 |
| iceroot | !samba | Sendoushi | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Sendoushi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:42 |
| escott | brightknight, was this whole disk or encrypted home | 23:42 |
| tama92 | When assigning a static ip I can connect but can't open anything | 23:42 |
| brightknight | escott: I am asking about the whole disk which is luks then. | 23:43 |
| iceroot | tama92: because you did not set dns and gateway | 23:43 |
| BEC | can somebody help me reduce the size of a pdf? | 23:43 |
| escott | brightknight, | 23:43 |
| escott | http://askubuntu.com/questions/95137/how-to-change-luks-passphrase | 23:43 |
| tama92 | dns is 8.8.8.8 ? | 23:43 |
| iceroot | tama92: for example, or your router | 23:43 |
| BEC | I have a 4.1MB color one & another 7.9MB; I need them to be 1MB | 23:43 |
| Senjai | BEC this is not relevant to Ubuntu, you'll have to ask somewhere else. | 23:43 |
| magn3ts | How can I install KDM and have it NOT prompt me to choose between Lightdm and KDM? | 23:44 |
| tama92 | Hmm, I'll try | 23:44 |
| escott | tama92, thats google dns | 23:44 |
| semi- | start --verbose mysql just says "job failed to start". how do i debug upstart scripts? | 23:44 |
| magn3ts | I'd like to "preconfigure" it somehow | 23:44 |
| tama92 | Thanks. | 23:44 |
| laurus | How do I purposely keep a package from updating in the package manager? | 23:45 |
| iceroot | laurus: with "hold" on dpkg "man dpkg" | 23:46 |
| bean | !pin | laurus | 23:46 |
| ubottu | laurus: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:46 |
| onitaL | echo $1 hold | dpkg --set-selections | 23:47 |
| laurus | Thank you! | 23:47 |
| kevinch | 16gb in /var | 23:47 |
| kevinch | normal?? | 23:47 |
| escott | kevinch, for some | 23:47 |
| bean | kevinch, probably depends on what you have installed | 23:47 |
| iceroot | kevinch: depending what you have stored there | 23:47 |
| kevinch | any idea how i can trim the fat? | 23:47 |
| laurus | What about "sudo aptitude hold package_name" ? | 23:47 |
| laurus | Does making that choice in aptitude affect apt-get as well? | 23:48 |
| kevinch | or could I mount one a partition on one of my big drives to it? | 23:48 |
| iceroot | !aptitude | laurus | 23:48 |
| ubottu | laurus: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 23:48 |
| iceroot | kevinch: sure | 23:48 |
| kevinch | I'd have to move everything off of it first correct and then mount it? | 23:48 |
| kevinch | or if i set it in fstab to /var/ will it automatically take care of it and remove it off my boot hdd and put it on my larger drives | 23:49 |
| kevinch | that i set it to | 23:49 |
| iceroot | kevinch: correct but dont mount it directly in /var/. use /var/lib/mysql/ as the mountpoint | 23:49 |
| kevinch | bad wording sorry | 23:49 |
| escott | kevinch, yes | 23:49 |
| bean | kevinch, no, you need to move the data yourself | 23:49 |
| kevinch | iceroot: why /var/lib/mysql/? | 23:50 |
| iceroot | kevinch: i thought you are facing no free space because of big mysql databases | 23:50 |
| kevinch | probably | 23:50 |
| iceroot | kevinch: sudo du -sh /var/ | 23:50 |
| iceroot | kevinch: should show /var/lib/ and then /var/lib/mysql/ | 23:50 |
| onitaL | kevinch, what services has your system? | 23:51 |
| kevinch | mysql folder only has 16mb | 23:51 |
| Or6itz | I just installed Ubuntu on a second harddrive. I am trying to boot into it, but all I am getting is grub4dos?? | 23:51 |
| tama92 | Tried both dns, not working (destination host unreachable) | 23:52 |
| bean | kevinch, then is it /var/log that has a bunch? | 23:52 |
| tama92 | Is it because of dhcpd ? | 23:54 |
| kevinch | let me see | 23:55 |
| escott | tama92, dns is a layer above basic connectivity. if you cannot ping 8.8.8.8 then you cannot use 8.8.8.8 as a dns server. sounds like you dont have an ip address/gateway configured | 23:55 |
| kevinch | there a way to limit du to one level right? | 23:55 |
| escott | kevinch, --depth i think. check the man page | 23:55 |
| kevinch | nvm got it | 23:55 |
| Sendoushi | how can i set max permissions to a folder? | 23:55 |
| Sendoushi | read-write for root and everybody | 23:55 |
| kevinch | sudo chmod 777 /somefolder | 23:56 |
| iceroot | Sendoushi: chmod 777 /Folder | 23:56 |
| Sendoushi | thanks | 23:56 |
| tama92 | I put my gateway IP (192.168.1.254) with a static IP. That's the one used by my computer | 23:56 |
| ubuntu-nooby | escott: Swapped to a brand new Sata cable and the errors dropped off instantly and my boot time is much lower too? Thank you very much for your help. | 23:56 |
| werzer23 | how can I map port 8080 to port 80? | 23:56 |
| escott | ubuntu-nooby, i would fsck the filesystem as well. hopefully none of the errors got onto the medium | 23:57 |
| matlock | cross your fingers about that too | 23:58 |
| onitaL | werzer23, you want to do that without a router? | 23:58 |
| kunji | werzer23: Umm, in a typical situation you would do that as it goes through your router, could you provide more details? | 23:58 |
| === FreakingTea is now known as BecomingTea | ||
| tama92 | I couldn't ping the router too :/ | 23:59 |
| ubuntu-nooby | escott: will do. Atleast now I know my disk doesn't have to get tossed into the trash | 23:59 |
| kevinch | found the culprit | 23:59 |
| kevinch | 16G/var/lib/backuppc | 23:59 |
| kevinch | I don't even use that any more | 23:59 |
| kevinch | just was messing around with it | 23:59 |
| matlock | tama92, you're trying to what? | 23:59 |
| ubuntu-nooby | escott: Thanks again, and take care | 23:59 |
