| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, can we use virtualization within wine, to mount the ISO to a virtual CD and from there install it to the internal harddrive, I remember trying that once on a windows 7 before, when they were releasing the Candidate release for windows8, and I alreaded downloaded the windows 8 ISO and I used a virtual CD I think CLoneZilla or something like it, and I mounted a CD and then installed to a harddrive | 00:00 |
| samuelcecilio | what is the most stable version of ubuntu server? someone help me? | 00:00 |
| iceroot | samuelcecilio: 12.04 | 00:01 |
| roothorick | redheat: Wine doesn't do what you think it does. It's more of a Windows simulator, it operates at a much higher level than virtualization software (e.g. VirtualBox) | 00:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ikonia, redheat: Would something like YUMI work in Wine? (Just asking) | 00:01 |
| iceroot | samuelcecilio: maybe 10.04 is more stable then 12.04 but i would recommend 12.04 for a new installation | 00:01 |
| anew | how are you guys seeing your gui remotely? i know i can do command line with putty, but gui ? | 00:01 |
| redheat | I swear, I was asking myself the same question SonikkuAmerica, when I came across someone talking about using Yumi, I mean does it? | 00:02 |
| ssorg | k1l: I'm on a 3.2 kernel, is it possible to update the drivers without the kernel upgrade? This system is very old an needs a lot of updates, I'm just seeing if I can get the video drivers updated (if it is possible) | 00:02 |
| roothorick | anew: assuredly some form of VNC | 00:02 |
| iceroot | anew: rdesktop, vnc, teamviewer, xforwarding with ssh | 00:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !10.04 | iceroot, samuelcecilio, be forewarned | 00:02 |
| ubottu | iceroot, samuelcecilio, be forewarned: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) | 00:02 |
| samuelcecilio | thank you... iceroot | 00:02 |
| k1l | ssorg: which ubuntu? which videocard? | 00:02 |
| redheat | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ | 00:02 |
| redheat | ok I | 00:03 |
| redheat | ok I'll give it a try | 00:03 |
| anew | some form = ... can yo uguys recomend one ? | 00:03 |
| ssorg | k1l: Ubuntu 12.04 and the card is an integrated Intel 945GM | 00:04 |
| roothorick | anew: honestly, remote CLI is much more reliable, I *ONLY* use VNC with Windows hosts | 00:04 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, can I install Yumi to a partition on my External drive, cause it seems it's kind of space-hungry and it wipes out all the drive? | 00:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: NO (unless you mean on the virtual C: drive Wine creates on your Ubuntu drive) | 00:05 |
| anew | roothorick yes but problem is i have to use an app with gui... vnc = realvnc? or is there another one ? | 00:05 |
| roothorick | anew: the quick and dirty answer is to use SSH's X forwarding feature. Keep in mind this requires your local machine to be running a real X server | 00:06 |
| roothorick | anew: but if it's something you'll be doing regularly, I strongly recommend finding a CLI way to do it | 00:06 |
| k1l | ssorg: ok, im not an intel expert. but i would not recommend to update the drivers if there is no need for it like a bug. | 00:06 |
| Synx|hm | Need some networking help, i need a way to create seperate external routes, i have two nic's on two different subnets, both have access to the internet but one via a VPN, problem is i can only have one 0.0.0.0 gate way route, i need some traffic to traverse the VPN and others my local internet gateway | 00:07 |
| anew | hmm cli not possiblewith firefox i dont think? | 00:07 |
| samuelcecilio | can i use SNA/GLAMOR at the same time? | 00:07 |
| roothorick | anew: Firefox!? Why Firefox? | 00:07 |
| anew | roothorick i have to use it with the script i created | 00:07 |
| k1l | anew: you can forward programs with ssh -X | 00:07 |
| Korejora | @histo: OK, it refused to work with any archive programs, because the archive within the archive within the archive was secretly not an archive or something, but for some reason using tar on the main archive worked. | 00:08 |
| roothorick | anew: better idea. Use SSH's proxying stuff and point Firefox on your local machine to it | 00:08 |
| anew | firefox on my local machine... cant do that, i'm testing on my local machine | 00:08 |
| roothorick | anew: man ssh, specifically the -L switch | 00:08 |
| Korejora | @histo: do you have time to help me with the rest? | 00:08 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, Yumi is running flawlessly under wine on my system, | 00:09 |
| Mo0O | hi | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | anew: for ssh's xforwarding, you need an xserver running on your local computer. i assume your on windows, i hear it's possible - but wouldn't have the foggiest idea how. | 00:09 |
| ssorg | k1l: I wanted to see if I could get steam working on this box, but I get an error about not-up-to-date drivers (or incompatable video card). I wanted to update the drivers to rule out the possibility. I don't plan to continue using it on this box, but I figured I would try. Most of my other linux boxes are headless servers; except one, but I wouldn't want steam on it. | 00:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anew, zykotick9: Xming | 00:09 |
| anew | zykotick9: ok so i have to have an xserver running locally and xforward | 00:10 |
| anew | xming will look at that | 00:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anew, zykotick9: Or, if you wish for a broader set of Linux tools on Windows, check out Cygwin. | 00:10 |
| jdukiet | I am running a wubi install of ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS and would like to import my music from my windows user account to rythmbox. Somehow I was able to access it with a prior search, but have not been able to reproduce it. If this is not a proper question for this channel, can someone direct me to where I may find some help? | 00:10 |
| roothorick | anew: so something like ssh -L 127.0.0.1:8080:productionservers_hostname:80 and then point firefox to 127.0.0.1:8080 | 00:10 |
| anew | ah yes i think cygwin is the answer | 00:10 |
| bunjee_ | what program has css encrypted software? | 00:10 |
| anew | what's better cygwin or xming? | 00:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anew: If you use Xming, 6.9.0.31 is the last free version. 7+ are donate-only | 00:10 |
| roothorick | anew: Firefox will be VERY VERY SLOW over X forwarding, FYI | 00:11 |
| redheat | now it is giving me the option to create Windows 7/8 installer | 00:11 |
| redheat | and it gave me the option to use the C, like you said the virtual drive, now What? | 00:11 |
| roothorick | anew: I really think -L is the way to go, unless there's multiple servers involved | 00:11 |
| anew | roothorick i mean i have to run firefox on my away machine, but control it locally, is this correct? | 00:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anew: I've used both, and both work quite well. Only one small hitch with Cygwin: If you want X11 forwarding, you'll need Xwin as well. | 00:11 |
| roothorick | anew: why does it have to be REMOTE firefox? Why can't you connect local firefox to the remote side? | 00:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | anew: It typically comes with Cygwin though. | 00:11 |
| Mo0O | I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch but at this step https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch#Cleanup_the_ChRoot_Environment I've got no /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.**-**-generic in the chroot environement, anyone know why ? | 00:12 |

| Snowie | Hi all. I have Plex, and I want to create a link between a folder I have created /PlexShare from /home/$USER/Videos including all subfolders and files. Could someone tell me if this should be hard/soft link and the best way to go about it. Will this get around permission problems from $USER to root? | 00:12 |
| roothorick | anew: sort of. Firefox would be running locally but connecting to a tunnel set up by SSH that forwards out to the remote machine | 00:12 |
| anew | i see | 00:13 |
| anew | hmmm | 00:13 |
| roothorick | anew: I think I'd need to know more about what you're connecting to. What kind of script is this and where is it hosted? | 00:14 |
| ssorg | k1l: Would you still reccommend I leave the drivers as is, or should I do a full sytem update? | 00:14 |
| anew | roothorick maybe i'm very confused. can i login with putty, boot lubuntu, then relogin with putty again and start my script ? | 00:14 |
| ssorg | k1l: There isn't any valuable infomation on this box; I mostly use it as a testbed for different distros | 00:14 |
| roothorick | anew: what kind of script is it and how do you run it? | 00:15 |
| k1l | ssorg: hmm, i dont know if it is worth a try for a game that maybe wont run well anways | 00:15 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, when I tried to use the C: drive it said it contains, system 32, and then there's another partition called Z with a backward slash \, could that be pointing to Filesystem , and then there's my ubuntu directory, home\redhea | 00:15 |
| anew | roothorick perl script, i run it from cli, but it uses gui (firefox) | 00:15 |
| roothorick | anew: so you run it in a terminal window, and then point firefox to it? | 00:15 |
| anew | well | 00:16 |
| anew | i will give it a shot | 00:16 |
| === lux_ is now known as Guest14175 | ||
| roothorick | anew: let me double check something real quick | 00:17 |
| anew | ok | 00:17 |
| Mo0O | I've no initrd too ... | 00:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Assuming you downloaded the YUMI .exe... | 00:17 |
| anew | honestly i am probably just overthinking the hell out of this and can just log in with putty and run ff that way | 00:17 |
| redheat | yeah I did, and I"m using it right now, just thinking which drive partition to use, obviously it is Z | 00:18 |
| roothorick | anew: on the local machine: ssh -L 127.0.0.1:64008:127.0.0.1:80 scriptmachine | 00:18 |
| anew | ok let me copy that | 00:18 |
| roothorick | anew: replace 80 with whatever port the script listens on if necessary. Then run the script inside that SSH session. Point Firefox on the local machine to http://127.0.0.1:64008 | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: No, install it to the C: drive. | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: The Z: drive is the root dir for Ubuntu. | 00:19 |
| redheat | I tried and it said a filesystem exists and it refused.. | 00:19 |
| roothorick | anew: SSH will forward 127.0.0.1:64008 to the script running on the remote machine through its own built-in tunnel | 00:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: One sec... | 00:19 |
| redheat | I thought so, but it turned out it's an empty directory, cause I added a new drive partiton called D: it gave me the same sign D\.. | 00:19 |
| redheat | take your time | 00:19 |
| anew | ok roothorick thanks a lot for all the help | 00:20 |
| anew | great channel | 00:20 |
| cordyceps | anybody been able to dual boot ubuntu and freebsd? | 00:21 |

| roothorick | anew: keep in mind the tunnel is only kept up as long as that shell session is still open | 00:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *the limitations | 00:21 |

| pblarry49 | I'm using Mythtv 0.26 mythbuntu 12.04 with multiple hdhomerun tuners. Starting with a Ubuntu update last week, I cannot record multiple HD channels simultaneously without getting serious artifacts and audio dropouts.

Before the update last week I could record 5 | 00:26 |
| redheat | I just waited to see, and the moment it said it'll screw up my MBR I took notice and stopped before doing anything | 00:26 |
| redheat | I already have wine cfg open | 00:26 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: I copied and pasted the link itself. | 00:28 |

| redheat | ok.. | 00:29 |
| roothorick | quick question. When 13.04 is released, Can I upgrade my 12.10 Ubuntu-GNOME without clobbering, well, GNOME? | 00:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | roothorick: If you DON'T have the GNOME 3 PPA, I don't see why it shouldn't. | 00:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | If you DO, however, it'll comment it out in your sources.list and you'll have to re-enable it again. | 00:31 |
| roothorick | SonikkuAmerica: does the 12.10 Ubuntu-GNOME installer add that PPA automatically? | 00:31 |
| Akshayr | wat is legacy software | 00:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | roothorick: Not that I know of, you might be able to ask in #ubuntu-gnome, but don't count on an answer anytime soon. | 00:32 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Good to go. DO NOT CHECK THE "FORMAT" BOX, but otherwise, navigate to the ISO and hit Start or whatever the button is. | 00:39 |
| galore | Is there a network specific ubuntu channel ? | 00:40 |
| redheat | my thought exactly, you could never be too careful, SonikkuAmerica | 00:40 |
| galore | i mean, where people discuss netowkring, firewalls etc. | 00:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: That's actually because Wine can't handle that operation. | 00:41 |
| Lartza | Any way to run stuff if Unity won't start? | 00:41 |

| redheat | it can't handle format? ok..I don't know that much about wine and from the way you talk it about it sounds very experimental more than real tested science this whole emulator stuff | 00:42 |

| Tex_Nick | galore : #ubuntu-network | 00:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lol | 00:42 |
| Lartza | SonikkuAmerica, I only get desktop, managed by nautilus. Probably because I removed around a 100 packages before this reboot | 00:42 |

| penth | Anyone else having spikes and pops lately with 12.04 and intel-hda sound architecture? I think it's pulseaudio but can't isolate it. | 01:14 |
| penth | jakey: define "browser," please. I just use the terminal for ssh | 01:14 |
| jakey1 | internet browser | 01:14 |
| lehzeni | penth, spikes and pops often mention ir sharing problems | 01:14 |
| sgerbino | does anyone know if thursday preview of ubuntu phone can be installed on an htc one? | 01:14 |
| lehzeni | irq sharing | 01:15 |
| jakey1 | i.e like firefox, chrome but very light wieght | 01:15 |
| FoolsRun | Hi, quick question: trying to make a slideshow on my TV that automatically shows new photos added to a directory. I can't find anything that can do this. Anyone have suggestions? Command-line tools like fbi would be best as the machine I'm trying to use doesn't have X | 01:15 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Lemme guess... it didn't boot, right? | 01:16 |
| redheat | like you said, it didn't, it all it did it extracted the files, and I tried to run the setup from within the drive | 01:17 |
| redheat | and it told me not enough space.. | 01:17 |

| redheat | open to suggestion dear sir | 01:17 |
| penth | tex, it's background even if I have no apps or strems open using the sound port. | 01:17 |
| redheat | open to suggestion dear friend, (sorry) | 01:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh! So that's what you were trying to do: run the install WITHIN that drive. | 01:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: ^ | 01:18 |
| redheat | which makes no sense at all | 01:18 |
| redheat | I know.. | 01:18 |
| jakey1 | arora anyone? | 01:18 |
| penth | It also happened when I booted off a Fedora 17 disk, but my headphone ports are fine | 01:18 |
| lehzeni | penth, so it's ok from headphones, but not from speakers? | 01:18 |
| redheat | its like you're trying to install windows on a flash drive, makes no sense, I was thinking of copying all the files to another external harddrive, and then trying to install them to the internal drie, but like you said they won't boot.. | 01:18 |
| redheat | a kind of empty loop | 01:19 |
| penth | Correct. Speakers are connnected to the motherboard on the rear port, and I swapped speakers. | 01:19 |
| penth | I'm hoping my mobo isn't flaking on me | 01:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: On a 320 GB space, it shouldn't matter. | 01:19 |
| lehzeni | penth, where are the headphones vonnected to? | 01:19 |
| penth | Front of case bezel via a cable to the motherboard | 01:20 |
| FoolsRun | Anyone know a command-line tool that will show a slideshow and add new photos as they're added to a directory? | 01:20 |
| redheat | anyhow, what you think? we have extracted files and no boot, can I give a you picture of how they look now.. | 01:20 |
| lehzeni | penth, one thing the check is plug the headphones into the back where the speakers have been | 01:20 |
| Tex_Nick | penth : ok, thought i might have a solution, but that's a different problem ... sorry | 01:20 |
| penth | And I get to drag it out from under the desk again :) | 01:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Well, there are a few things we might try... | 01:21 |
| lehzeni | penth, it could either be the rear jack or the speakers that are the problem. either way is fixable | 01:22 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Virtual machine maybe? (Unless you require a frugal install) | 01:24 |
| redheat | I was thinking of that... | 01:25 |
| penth | The pops aren't coming through with the headphones, but I'm still getting the spikes in alsamixer. | 01:25 |
| redheat | let's do it, I already got Virtualization turned on in BIOS..so let's make use of that.. | 01:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: [ sudo apt-get install virtualbox ] | 01:25 |
| lehzeni | penth, do you have a noisy microphone connected? | 01:26 |
| barraponoponopo | what package should I install to have a lightweight LXDE option? | 01:26 |
| penth | no microphone at all. | 01:26 |
| cfhowlett | barraponoponopo, sudo apt-get install lxde | 01:26 |
| barraponoponopo | (im already using ubuntu) | 01:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Only thing is, though, this would put a virtual image on your internal HDD. | 01:26 |
| barraponoponopo | cfhowlett: thanks. i was looking for something like lubuntu-desktop... | 01:26 |
| penth | but headphone, pcm, and front keep getting jacked up to 100% if I try to change them | 01:27 |
| cfhowlett | barraponoponopo, note: this will give you the lxde destkop environment, not the lubuntu metapackages | 01:27 |
| cfhowlett | barraponoponopo, then apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 01:27 |
| barraponoponopo | cfhowlett: yeah, but i won't uninstall libreoffice | 01:27 |
| redheat | you mean a virtual image of the installation file, but a not a virtual image of windows, cause I don't want that..? | 01:27 |
| redheat | is that what you meant? | 01:27 |
| cfhowlett | barraponoponopo, you don't have to uninstall anything ... | 01:27 |
| barraponoponopo | cfhowlett: is there anything i should install from lubuntu desktop? | 01:27 |
| lehzeni | penth, well that's all wrong. 100% could maybe make you hear clicks and pops | 01:28 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Oh that's not what you want. | 01:28 |
| barraponoponopo | cfhowlett: i mean, whats the point of installing gnumeric or abiword if im not gonna use them? | 01:28 |
| penth | That's the point. I can't see what's forcing that to happen | 01:28 |
| barraponoponopo | (i mostly do everything with markdown) | 01:28 |
| cfhowlett | barraponoponopo, nothing I'd recommend but go ahead and install the lubuntu-desktop to see the goodness. anything you don't need/like you can remove/purge | 01:28 |
| lehzeni | penth, what do you have pulseaudio volume set to? | 01:28 |
| brian_ | CavalierPrime , unfortunately it looks as though no fix has been found yet. I couldn't find any solutions in "Ask Ubuntu", which BTW, is a pretty cool help option I didn't know about. Thanks anyway. | 01:28 |

| barraponoponopo | bandwidth is still an issue in brazil :/ | 01:29 |

| FoolsRun | Does anyone know a Linux (preferably command line) tool that will display a slideshow and watch for new photos added to a directory and add them to the slideshow? | 01:29 |

| redheat | let's give it a try though, and see how it goes, it has nothing to do with whether I like it or not, I"m still thinking about that whole idea of install windows from within windows using virtualization | 01:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Wait a sec.... there is a way to get VBox to boot from an external HDD though. | 01:30 |
| barraponoponopo | maybe, if i convince the pc user it's a good switch. i hope lxde does the trick meanwhile. | 01:30 |

| FoolsRun | cfhowlett: fen requires x, yeah? I'll give it a shot. | 01:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: How it works is via symbolic linking. | 01:31 |
| cfhowlett | FoolsRun, haven't used it, so I don't know ... | 01:32 |
| barraponoponopo | thanks bot! | 01:32 |

| penth | Guess I'll try the daily builds. | 01:32 |
| cfhowlett | FoolsRun, display can also do montages | 01:33 |
| FoolsRun | cfhowlett: the big question is whether these tools can watch for new photos and automatically add them to the slideshow | 01:33 |
| lehzeni | penth, over the front jack, is the sound quality to your liking? | 01:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: So go ahead and install VBox, and then... | 01:33 |
| redheat | symbolic linking, was it Vista or Windows 7, I think Vista were the first to introduce Symbolic LInking, of files and folders | 01:33 |
| redheat | ok | 01:33 |
| redheat | its installed | 01:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Here in Unix, we use the [ ln -s ] command. | 01:34 |
| penth | It's a little flat and I want to keep the front open for my headset because I use it for voip | 01:34 |
| cfhowlett | FoolsRun, as they're command based, I'd suggest you pipe a directory search then launch the results in the display | 01:34 |
| penth | but I can limp with it a while | 01:34 |
| FoolsRun | cfhowlett: everything I've found indicates I'd have to stop and restart the slideshow to pull that off | 01:34 |
| redheat | ok, I was talking about a whole different issue, remember those files on the destkop, with big arrows, called Symbolic linking..anyhow I got it... | 01:35 |
| lehzeni | penth, I was just looking at the rear jacks on mine, and there is more than one audio output to plug into ... | 01:35 |
| redheat | ok so what do I do? | 01:35 |
| cfhowlett | FoolsRun, would this be a looping montage or something? | 01:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: OK, now make sure your HDD is connected... | 01:35 |
| redheat | it's already setting comfortably in the laptops compartment,.. | 01:35 |
| FoolsRun | cfhowlett: it's actually for a photo booth. I want it to loop all photos saved to a dir and add newly saved photos to the end of the loop | 01:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Check with GParted to see what the XX in /dev/sdXX is... | 01:35 |
| redheat | ok | 01:36 |
| cfhowlett | FoolsRun, ok then. command-line fu: after X number of runs, research the directory and pipe to a new montage | 01:36 |
| redheat | it's dev/sda | 01:36 |
| penth | Line out as opposed to speaker? That gets really flat but I can go back into the mixer and play with it. | 01:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: In a terminal, [ cd ~/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/ ] | 01:37 |

| ironhalik | Is there a way to update synaptics touchpad firmware from ubuntu? | 01:40 |

| chalcedony | skyler, look at rsynch | 01:41 |
| skyler | penth, I can only use one at a time | 01:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Open Nautilus and do it that way | 01:41 |
| lehzeni | skyler, you can copy it directly from the 70 to the 250 without going through the 40 | 01:41 |

| lehzeni | skyler, home much free space on your 40 internal drive? | 01:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Now, for the tricky part: | 01:44 |
| penth | plug in the 70 and do a du -s on it; you might be able to get everything off with rsync and compression | 01:44 |
| skyler | lehzeni, almost all of it, other than what the ubuntu install takes | 01:45 |
| skyler | lehzeni, after the drivemaker's lies and the ubuntu install I am left with 30ish gb | 01:45 |
| redheat | ok I'm ready, but first should I clean the clutter on my internal drive or should I leave 'em there? | 01:45 |
| skyler | the source drive only has ~60gb taken | 01:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Paste this in a terminal (Ctrl+Shift+V) and see what happens: [ ln -s /dev/disk4 ExternalDiskDeviceLink ] | 01:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | NOOOO | 01:46 |
| penth | What type of data is on the 70? | 01:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: NOT disk4 | 01:46 |
| wiiw | chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 , how to set this as system default ? | 01:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: use /dev/sda instead | 01:46 |
| skyler | penth, a windows install and some programs. Also some music, but I can't figure out how to delete it as it says the drive is read only. | 01:46 |
| lehzeni | skyler, so I guess you need to mount drive 70, copy half the files to a director on the 40 with "cp -R -p", copy those to the 250, then erase the holding directory on the 40 and repat a second time | 01:47 |

| BobLfoot | I am running 12.04.01 LTS - i386 fully updated as an Oracle VirtualBox Guest on a Windows 7 host. TF2 was installed from Steam and is also current. Problem in instead of game video I get a black screen. What would be a logical next step to troubleshoot? | 01:57 |
| aartist | How I can do midi input ? | 01:57 |
| julian-delphiki | KxTwo, http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12400 says its not compatible | 01:57 |
| BlackDalek | lehzeni, How do I know if there is a BIOS limitation? In the Bios setup screens all 2 Gb counts up fine and no ram errors show during POST.... | 01:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: You'll need the packages it mentions, first off.. | 01:58 |
| julian-delphiki | KxTwo, you could try and old version of znes, 1.42 or older. | 01:58 |
| redheat | ok, I thought because we didn't write sda in that megalith, it turned back an error | 01:58 |
| aartist | skyler: NO. the keyboard doesn't have midi out. It has a USB cable, that I am connecting to laptop. It is connecting to /dev/midi1 | 01:58 |
| KxTwo | julian-delphiki, I saw other people suggest it but no confirmations on whether or not it worked. You think going backwards might do the trick? | 01:59 |
| lehzeni | BlackDalek, what does 11.10 say in response to your 2gb? | 01:59 |
| julian-delphiki | KxTwo, the thread i linked says yes | 01:59 |
| redheat | I'll get it from synaptic | 01:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: The other thing is, you'll also need this: [ useradd -aG vboxusers redheat ] | 01:59 |
| KxTwo | julian-delphiki, that is the same forum I was reading but it was a different article, must be my search was typed poorly. Now for the uber noob question. How do I install the older version? | 01:59 |

| skyler | I've followed the guilde on EOL upgrading to no avail | 02:03 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Yeah? | 02:04 |
| redheat | sorry, the last one was that a command line that I should enter into the terminal | 02:05 |
| skyler | lehzeni, I bought a computer and it came with 6.06 on it. I am having trouble upgrading to 8.04 so I can upgrade to 10.04 and then to 12.04, because it doesn't have a cd drive and doesn't like to boot from usb | 02:05 |

| packetfrog | cfhowlett brb :) | 02:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: What that does is throw you in the workgroup "vboxusers" so that you have privileges to mess with VBoxManager. | 02:06 |

| navetz | i have no window decorator either, there are no close minimize and max buttons | 02:08 |

| wiiw | why has so many ttySNN in /dev/ | 02:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Just try running the VBoxManage command again: (Press the up arrow a few times in terminal, it should pop up) | 02:09 |
| redheat | ok | 02:09 |
| cfhowlett | packetfrog, have you deleted desktop environments? Perhaps reinstalling xfce ... | 02:09 |
| redheat | not a few times just one time, there's something they keep barking about the "a" before the G is no "compute" for the terminal | 02:10 |
| lehzeni | Blackdlek, I found one other mention of a problem like your, and device pnpa03:00 was related to power mangement | 02:10 |

| liahimcociuba | @jgcampbell - some resources to read http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/HOWTOs | 02:10 |
| packetfrog | if I reinstall regular xfce it wont be the ubuntustudio version right? | 02:10 |
| packetfrog | configured the same anyway | 02:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Don't worry about the useradd command. Just run the VBoxManage one. | 02:10 |
| packetfrog | really id like to get rid of all this crud and just use fluxbox but i cant get the cairo-dock to work right | 02:10 |
| redheat | ok..it gave me a list when I just wrote VBoxManage | 02:10 |

| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, same old same old : http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=11707 | 02:14 |
| lehzeni | Blackvalek, the other mention of that device was decided to be a kernel bug. (?) so maybe if you removed the second gig and upgraded to something newer than 11.10, then you could put the second gig back again and everything woulf be happy | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | skyler, that actually sounds good! | 02:14 |
| packetfrog | cfhowlett it wont go transparent and looks clunky. | 02:14 |
| navetz | SonikkuAmerica: I did not change anything, it was working for about 3 weeks on my new laptop, then I updated and everything broke. Any idea how I can fix it? | 02:14 |
| cfhowlett | packetfrog, well, one thing at a time. did xfce reinstall and fix things? | 02:14 |
| packetfrog | brb | 02:14 |
| skyler | cfhowlett, how in the hell would I go about doing any of that? I could use gparted to make the partition but after that I would just be lost | 02:14 |

| dcope | I have something setup as * * * * * root foo and it never runs from my crontab | 02:28 |

| lehzeni | Pagos, you have grub installed and running on your internal drive, right? | 02:29 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, you should format the ubuntu filesystem as ext4 | 02:29 |
| turtal | when I installed it from windows I didin't had to format the drive though. I still have some files on that drive and I can't back them up since I have no storage space on other drives | 02:30 |
| Pagos | lehzeni, yeah I think. | 02:30 |
| darkhelmet46 | Anybody here have any success in getting Evolution to work with Exchange 2007? | 02:30 |

| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, you still there | 02:30 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, you don't have to format the drive! JUST the partition for ubuntu! | 02:30 |
| Pagos | Windows can shrink an active drive, why can't ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| lehzeni | Pagos, so put the iso image on the 250, and configure the grub on thee internal drive to boot that 250 gig drive | 02:31 |
| turtal | okay | 02:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Yeah | 02:31 |

| Pagos | darkhelmet46, not active ones | 02:31 |

| cfhowlett | turtal, the windows installer (wubi) is a testing platform for ubuntu. It is NOT a long-term installation solution. If you only want to test, you're better served by putting ubuntu in a virtualbox | 02:35 |

| redheat | no problem, I went to the directory as you said, and I got the same error again.. | 02:38 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, yes "wubi" is the windows installer | 02:38 |
| ctmjr | !panels | 02:38 |
| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 02:38 |
| Pagos | if I'm going to dd the ubuntu 12.04 install iso onto it, does the format of the partition matter? | 02:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: You may need to [ ln -s ] again. | 02:39 |
| packetfrog_ | im not using gnome | 02:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: [ ln -s /dev/sda ExternalDiskDeviceLink2 ] | 02:39 |
| redheat | so you want me to type that command again alon,e or is there something else you want me to add to ln -s | 02:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: See above. | 02:40 |
| peanuter | upon doing anything with apt-get the 'reading packages list' is taking around 20 minutes. Does anyone know how to clear the packages list and rebuild it? | 02:40 |
| turtal | while installing do i need to do anything from "edit partition" (Change option) | 02:40 |
| Pagos | if I'm going to dd the ubuntu 12.04 install iso onto it, does the format of the partition matter? | 02:40 |
| ctmjr | packetfrog: I know thought it would be more helpful than that | 02:40 |
| turtal | or let me ask like this, which option do I need to pick in order to install ubuntu without partitioning the drive | 02:41 |
| Bsims | peanuter: it's hanging on apt-get update? | 02:41 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, speaking of the packages they wanted me to install I installed every single linux-headers-generic package out there along with the Virtualbox dme package so nothing was left out | 02:41 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, you have to partition to install ubuntu to a hdd. If you'd rather not, I'd suggest the virtualbox method | 02:42 |
| peanuter | reading packages list after using apt anything the last thing it does can take upto 20 minutes | 02:42 |
| peanuter | i think i have managed to corrupt it somehow and was looking to rebuild it | 02:42 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, you have to partition because linux needs its own partition to live! | 02:42 |
| redheat | the last command, it says file exists... | 02:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: OK, good. You'll be prompted to auto-remove the ones it doesn't need. | 02:42 |
| turtal | okay I got my answer. how come it's possible to do it from windows and not from usb though? | 02:42 |
| peanuter | it works just takes 20 mintues to 'read packages list' | 02:42 |
| Bsims | peanuter: not sure | 02:42 |
| turtal | it doesn't make any sense :) | 02:42 |
| redheat | so what do you want me to do? | 02:42 |
| peanuter | going to try rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf | 02:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Use this: [ ln -s /dev/sda blah ] | 02:43 |
| Bsims | peanuter: try apt-get clean then apt-get update again | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | turtal, the windows installer creates a "fake" windows application called ubuntu. | 02:43 |
| darkhelmet46 | Seriously, though. Why is it so GD hard to get Exchange to play with Ubuntu? Can't someone write a mail program that uses ActiveSync? | 02:44 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, so the new link was created | 02:44 |
| cfhowlett | darkhelmet46, that would be a conversation for the good folk in Redmond ... | 02:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Good. Now: [ VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ExternalDisk.vmdk -rawdisk $PWD/blah ] | 02:44 |
| Bsims | peanuter: do this "sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update" | 02:44 |
| lehzeni | Pagos, the iso contains it's own format | 02:44 |
| Pagos | so I should be fine with whatever? | 02:44 |
| turtal | thanks for your help cfhowlett. have a good day o/ | 02:45 |
| redheat | before I move on with this, what should I write in place of "filename"..and External Disk.. | 02:45 |
| peanuter | ok | 02:45 |
| darkhelmet46 | cfhowlett, I might be ignorant, but it seems like the framework is there. All mobile devices can sync with Exchange, why can't there be a desktop app that uses the same protocols? | 02:45 |
| lehzeni | maybe you should ask one of the others to be sure, I usually just burn discs, I've never done the iso copying to hdd before | 02:45 |
| peanuter | upon doing apt-get update, I am presently at 4% "Reading packages list... 4%" | 02:45 |
| lehzeni | Pagos, maybe you should ask one of the others to be sure, I usually just burn discs, I've never done the iso copying to hdd before | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | darkhelmet46, there are several tuts online .. even a couple of vids. I've never done myself as I don't manage an Exchange box ... | 02:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: The " -filename " is a switch option. | 02:46 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, what should I write in place of filename, and external disk, or should I just copy it as is? | 02:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Copy it as is. | 02:46 |
| redheat | oh ok.., as is then.. | 02:46 |
| cfhowlett | darkhelmet46, ubuntu + exchange + evolution were the search terms | 02:46 |
| Zahid | guys whats the best screen recording software for Ubuntu. something good for youtube videos, good quality, and audio recording too | 02:46 |
| Zahid | Thanks :) | 02:46 |
| peanuter | we are now upto %11 it might appear a hair faster but still going to take about 10 minutes | 02:46 |
| darkhelmet46 | cfhowlett, Yeah I am trying to get Evolution to work, but I keep getting an error message on authentication. The Googling I've done suggests that Evolution's integration with Exchange is mediocre at best. | 02:47 |
| lehzeni | Pagos, I think, but am not sure, that you simply dd the iso file to a blank hdd and that's that | 02:47 |
| cfhowlett | darkhelmet46, at best. after the last update, you had to do backflips just to integrate hotmail with evolution ... | 02:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: With any luck it should go through with no problems. | 02:48 |
| rioko | can any one help me with cloneing a system? | 02:48 |
| DarkAceZ | wat | 02:48 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, same error again...: VBoxManage: error: Cannot open the raw disk '/home/redheat/Library/VirtualBox/HardDisks/blah': VERR_ACCESS_DENIED | 02:48 |
| redheat | VBoxManage: error: The raw disk vmdk file was not created | 02:48 |
| lehzeni | Pagos, then you config grub to boot that drive, and you can begin your install. But upgrading isn't supported from 6.06, so you will need to do a complete fresh install back to your 40gb internal drive | 02:48 |
| peanuter | Bsims: at about 20% now | 02:49 |
| DarkAceZ | h JoshDreamland | 02:49 |
| DarkAceZ | oh, box2d | 02:49 |
| lehzeni | and Pagos was gone anyways | 02:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Go back to the terminal, press the up arrow once, move to the beginning of the command with the left arrow key, and type "sudo" followed by a space, then hit ENTER again. | 02:49 |
| darkhelmet46 | Woa! Anybody else in here watching Walking Dead right now? | 02:50 |
| lehzeni | Do th walking dead use ubuntu? | 02:50 |
| JoshDreamland | hello, DarkAceZ | 02:50 |

| redheat | VM name and OS Type | 02:53 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, VM nam and OS type | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Just give 'em something to go by, you're only using the VM once. | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redhat: OS is Windows 7 (I forgot, 32- or 64-bit?) | 02:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: OS is Windows 7 (I forgot, 32- or 64-bit?) | 02:54 |
| redheat | I called it windows 7, figures 8 , 64 Bit | 02:55 |
| redheat | I gave it 4 gigs of RAM | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK. | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That's fine. | 02:55 |
| redheat | 64 bit or 32 bit won't affect anything | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yes it will. | 02:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: It makes all the difference in many cases. | 02:56 |
| peanuter | reading packages list after using apt anything the last thing it does can take upto 20 minutes. any ideas? | 02:56 |
| redheat | ok, start-up disk is checked, new one, or use existing one.. | 02:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: This is where I said STOP. | 02:56 |

| redheat | sorry wait.. | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: If ExternalDisk.vmdk isn't there, you'll need to browse for it (you know where it is) | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | darkhelmet46: Zenternet... lol | 02:58 |

| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Where have I seen that before? We'll need to close VBox for now and run Nautilus one more time. | 03:01 |
| redheat | roger that.. | 03:01 |
| redheat | ok | 03:01 |
| redheat | navigate to the .mvk file | 03:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: When you open Nautilus, there should be a little 'eject' button next to the '320 GB Filesystem.' Click it. | 03:02 |
| redheat | ok | 03:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: No, we don't need to go to the .vmdk file. | 03:02 |
| n0sq | hmm, i'm wondering how ubuntu is doing time sync when ntp isn't installed | 03:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Now, kill Nautilus. | 03:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: ^ | 03:02 |
| redheat | ok done | 03:03 |
| redheat | repeat the virtualbox manager again? | 03:03 |

| redheat | ok | 03:07 |
| === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | In the 2nd wizard, select ExternalDisk.vmdk | 03:08 |

| Tex_Nick | about 6 months ago i burned a bunch of mp4 videos onto DVD's while booted into win xp ... out of 14 DVD's i can only read 1 disk in quantal ... i verified each disk after i burned them ... any ideas what the problem might be ? | 03:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: kill VBox again, go back to the terminal and type this: [ gksudo virtualbox & ] | 03:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Then STAY IN THE TERMINAL | 03:09 |
| redheat | roger that.. | 03:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Are you back in the terminal? | 03:09 |
| redheat | yes I did, and the moment I wrote the above command VB popped up.. | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Good. Type [ disown -h virtualbox ] in the terminal. | 03:10 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (That will detach the process from being dependent on the terminal.) | 03:10 |
| thieh | Question: What factors might make me want to use filesystem other than ext4 as / ? | 03:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: After that's done, close your terminal. | 03:11 |
| redheat | SonikkuAmerica, it says, bash: disown: virtualbox: no such job | 03:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | thieh: If you want it compatible with older versions of distros, MAYBE. I don't see another good reason. | 03:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | redheat: Fine. MINIMIZE the terminal and go back to VirtualBox and repeat the 1st wizard again. | 03:12 |
| redheat | ok | 03:12 |
| redheat | repeated the 1st wizard.. | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | 2nd wizard: Existing, select ExternalDisk.vmdk | 03:13 |
| redheat | ok | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (you'll need to browse to it) | 03:14 |
| redheat | ok..looking good, it caught the vmdk, file not a blemish.. | 03:14 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Awesome. Keep going with the wizard. | 03:15 |
| redheat | ok | 03:15 |
| thieh | SonikkuAmerica, so no good reason to use stuff like XFS, Btrfs and the like with a new install for the time being? | 03:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | When you're done, start the VM by double-clicking on it. | 03:15 |

| jakey1 | what reason would you need to be logged in as root | 03:24 |
| cfhowlett | !root|Jakee`_, | 03:24 |
| ubottu | Jakee`_,: 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 | 03:24 |
| jakey1 | cfhowlett, everything done with sudo is done as root? | 03:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | jakey1: Yep! | 03:25 |
| cfhowlett | jakey1, indeed | 03:25 |
| jakey1 | whats the difference | 03:25 |

| Brewmaster619 | need, that is | 03:26 |
| histo | !sudo | jakey1 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | jakey1: 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 | 03:26 |

| phschwartz_ | Hi all. I have a system that has a dense file structure for a big data system off of /var/lib/HPCC. I am seeing while the system is under load if I try to do a chown -R USER:GRP on the dir that it can take 3-4 moin or more to complete. I am doing it to verify that all files and dirs are owned by the correct user/group. I was under the impression that it should be a null op if no change is needed. Is this correct or is there a better | 03:31 |
| phschwartz_ | way to do it? | 03:31 |
| dr_willis | why would you think its a "null op" use find to look and see if any files need changed. then change them | 03:33 |
| jrib | phschwartz_: you could try using "find ! -user blah -exec chmod bleh", but either way (using find or chown) the entire filesystem is going to have to be traversed... | 03:33 |
| darkhelmet46 | Every once in a while, Ubuntu will totally lock up on me for like 10-15 minutes. | 03:34 |
| jakey1 | how do i run a command as a different user is it su -l foo? | 03:35 |
| phschwartz_ | jrib: would that be cleaner then just doing the chown on all to start? | 03:35 |
| jrib | phschwartz_: I suppose that depends on whether or not chown is a no-op if no change is needed. I don't know offhand. This should be something you only do once. Are you planning on this being a regular thing? (why?) | 03:36 |
| Adirolfx | Need some help. Webcam only displays gray screen. Same in Cheese and Skype | 03:36 |

| philipn | Still happening with a new user account. http://mathburritos.org/menu.jpg | 03:37 |
| phschwartz_ | jrib: I was planing on it in the start scripts for the software in case an outside source decided to change file permissions. (probably overkill) | 03:37 |
| agu10^ | I'm trying to enable compiz cube under my ubuntu guest inside virtualbox. But it's not working. not doing anything. Wobbly windows doesn't work either. Any clues? | 03:39 |
| jrib | jakey1: you can use su with the "-c" switch | 03:40 |
| jrib | phschwartz_: I don't know the details, but you could use ACLs to ensure some default permissions for files created in a certain directory | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | agu10^, virtual gpu may/may not be up to it ... | 03:40 |
| ansikt | Is there a way to make the appearance application search my wallpapers directory?? | 03:40 |
| phschwartz_ | jrib: Any chance you know of any examples I could follow? | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | agu10^, but your settings for the VBox should be 2D and 3D enabled | 03:40 |
| jakey1 | jrib, when I do su -l foo I get just $ not foo@bob? | 03:41 |
| jrib | phschwartz_: man setfacl, man getfacl, man mount (you need to add the "acl" mount option). I don't know of any short tutorials, but the man pages shouldn't be too painful | 03:41 |
| jakey1 | after i have entered the password | 03:41 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : yesterday you gave me some insight on your experience with the compiz cube and dual monitor setup ... i decided to give it a shot ... with 4 workspaces, the cube automatically turned into an octagonal prism ... 8 faces (sides) with top & bottom | 03:41 |
| jrib | jakey1: yes, and? | 03:41 |
| Ubiquity4321 | hello all | 03:41 |
| jakey1 | should it not bee foo@bob not just a $ | 03:42 |
| jrib | jakey1: that depends entirely on how foo has setup his shell | 03:42 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : kinda hard to explain what it looks like ... an octagonal prism whirly-ma-gig ? tis kinda cool actually ... just giving a little feedback ... thanks for your thoughts yesterday :) | 03:42 |
| Ubiquity4321 | i've got my first headless server set up | 03:42 |
| jakey1 | I see | 03:42 |
| phschwartz_ | Would doing a find /var/lib/HPCC ! -user USER -exec chown USER:GRP {} \; work? | 03:42 |
| Ubiquity4321 | but I've accidentally banned myself from sshing into it | 03:42 |
| Ubiquity4321 | how can I reset this? | 03:42 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: How did you ban yourself? | 03:42 |
| phschwartz_ | I want to try that before I start trying acl's | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | too many invalid passwords | 03:43 |
| agu10^ | I'm trying to enable compiz cube under my ubuntu guest inside virtualbox. But it's not working. not doing anything. Wobbly windows doesn't work either. Any clues? Both 2D and 3D acceleration on virtualbox are enabled. I have been able to do this in the past. The virtual GPU is fine for this. | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | i forgot that I changed it to a $ instead of a % | 03:43 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: Ahh fail2ban? | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | you got physical access to the box? Ubiquity4321 | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | i'm talking from the box | 03:43 |
| jrib | phschwartz_: sure but that only checks for ownership. Maybe you care if a file does not have the right group too | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | found an old crt monitor | 03:43 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: Are you using fail2ban? | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | i am not | 03:43 |
| Ubiquity4321 | that I know of | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | what are yu using then | 03:44 |
| Ubiquity4321 | just vanilla openssh | 03:44 |
| Ubiquity4321 | i guess | 03:44 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: Well using the wrong password will not ban you by default | 03:44 |
| phschwartz_ | jrib: I think ownership would be fine as it is setting it to the service user that the software runs as | 03:44 |
| Ubiquity4321 | then i guess ive got to figure out why I suddenly can't ssh into the box... | 03:44 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: check with netstat if it's still listening. | 03:45 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: also try and ssh username@localhost since you are on the box now. | 03:45 |
| Ubiquity4321 | histo: how do I do that? | 03:45 |

| silverone | kunji: i'm screwing around grub2 at mac os x. i managed to install it without using the mac version, which would not give me EFI | 04:36 |

| kunji | silverone: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, if you're not running Ubuntu you should probably look for future help elsewhere, I think Grub2 has it's own channel (most likely, I haven't actually checked). | 04:38 |

| silverone | kunji: i am running ubuntu on my macbook pro, it is not virtualized in parallels. sorry, i'm kind of a irc virgin. | 04:38 |
| vedic | zykotick9: That is what I wanted to know what is that low level stuff? Doesn't seem any good reason why to keep it | 04:39 |
| silverone | kunji: currently it's very hard to get hybrid graphics on this thing, it requires you to compile the kernel so ... poor me :( | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | vedic: idk, it's all up to you. but when you try and remove it doesn't it want to remove a bunch of your system? if it's only a couple of nothing packages - go for it. i don't see the point myself. | 04:40 |
| kunji | silverone: Yeah, I know what you mean, just keep it in mind for the future, I just checked, you should be able to get further help with grub2 in #grub Do you know how to switch channels? | 04:40 |

| silverone | histo: thank you :) | 04:53 |
| myersg | ok, how do I properly install a old kernel, I need to install the kernel that came with ubuntu 11.10, on ubuntu 12.10 | 04:53 |
| vedic | histo: I believe safe upgrade will also do kernel header upgrade | 04:53 |
| vedic | so no | 04:53 |
| Juest | myersg: Why? | 04:53 |
| myersg | my sound isn't working.. | 04:54 |
| Juest | lol | 04:54 |
| myersg | and yes, it worked then, I found out its the kernel | 04:54 |
| histo | vedic: Is there a reason you don't want to upgrade the kernel? | 04:54 |
| vedic | histo: many | 04:54 |
| Juest | can someone help me? | 04:54 |

| histo | !patience | Juest | 04:54 |
| ubottu | Juest: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:54 |
| vedic | that would break if I upgrade kenel headers | 04:54 |
| histo | vedic: It will break if you upgrade the kernel. | 04:55 |
| myersg | so should, I just go back to use 11.10? | 04:55 |
| myersg | but the problem being, its not supported in another 2 months | 04:55 |
| Juest | when i activated propieraty driver in 12.10 kms broke and i think splash doesn't work anymore, help me please? | 04:55 |
| histo | vedic: You can either rebuild the packages each kernel upgrade or pin the current running kernel | 04:55 |
| Juest | btw, old kernels are kept on upgrade | 04:55 |
| Juest | well | 04:55 |
| histo | !pin | vedic | 04:56 |
| ubottu | vedic: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 04:56 |
| histo | myersg: You should probably try and see if a bug has been filed for your soundcard and see if a fix is released | 04:56 |
| histo | !bug | myersg | 04:56 |
| ubottu | myersg: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 04:56 |
| myersg | old kernels are kept if I upgrade? so if i install 11.10, and upgrade to 12.10 will the kernel stay? | 04:56 |
| vedic | histo: then manually clean new kernel header? Else will keep occupying space | 04:57 |

| Juest | Where's my answer? | 04:59 |
| histo | vedic: It's not the kernel header that's the issue. IT's the kernel | 04:59 |
| vedic | histo: 1) Its both 2) pinning is not advised as I read the link you sent. I may break other things | 05:00 |

| rkhshm | any ideas guys? | 05:06 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: for? | 05:06 |

| cfhowlett | MK`, possible: yes. adviseable? .... | 05:06 |
| MK` | No PPA no :P | 05:07 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: there are ntfs tools to try and defrag your drive might be possible with those. | 05:07 |
| holstein | :/ | 05:07 |
| Arandur | Is this the appropriate place to ask for support? Or is this simply a conversation channel? | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | rkhshm, pretty esoteric request. Sorry, | 05:07 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: I would switch it to a ext4 partition though and not worry about it. | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, yes this is support - askk | 05:07 |
| Juest | how i access software sources? "shell" is "broken"' | 05:07 |
| kunji | MK`: If you don't have the dependencies I don't think it would work even if you extracted it though.. unless they've taken some liberty with what a dependency is | 05:07 |
| rkhshm | cfhowlett: can you let me know which would be an appropriate channel at least | 05:07 |
| holstein | rkhshm: i might go to the language you are using.. the support channel for that language | 05:07 |
| rkhshm | ok thanks | 05:08 |
| holstein | Juest: i use the command line, or synaptic to see/edit sources | 05:08 |
| Arandur | Just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a Dell laptop, dual-booting with Windows 7. Ubuntu cannot detect any wireless networks. How can I fix this issue? | 05:08 |
| MK` | kunji: I'm on 64-bit Ubuntu. It's a 32-bit program that depends on 32-bit xdg-utils, so when I installed it earlier it threw an error saying my software index was broken and asked if I wanted to uninstall half my programs, including ubuntu-desktop. I said no, and uninstalled the initial package. But I still want to find a way to use it | 05:09 |
| holstein | Arandur: i would try and wire it up, and see if you are offered any extra drivers... | 05:09 |
| Ubiquity4321 | I am running 12.04 server. It has a NTFS formatted drive on it, but it isn't the main drive. Is there a way I can defragment the drive either remotely from windows or directly on linux? | 05:09 |
| histo | MK`: What version of ubuntu are you on? | 05:09 |
| MK` | 11.04 | 05:09 |
| kunji | MK`: Hmm, are you using apt-get? You should be if you're doing multi-arch stuff. | 05:09 |
| holstein | Ubiquity4321: not that i would trust, or am aware of.. i would want to defrag natively | 05:10 |
| MK` | I am | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | MK`, 11.04 is end of life , you know ... | 05:10 |
| MK` | I know | 05:10 |
| Arandur | I'm wired up now, and nothing's obviously popped up at me. Is there some way to manually initiate a driver search? I should note that, upon initial installation, it detected the wireless networks fine; it was only after the initial restart that it was no longer able to. | 05:10 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, settings > check additional drivers | 05:10 |
| Juest | well | 05:10 |
| kunji | MK`: Hmm, well, that may be the way to go, though grabbing the source seems perhaps simpler | 05:10 |
| MK` | A friend told me it's because if you install 32-bit xdg-utils, it will force everything else that uses xdg-tils to use 32-bit | 05:11 |
| Juest | how i can get native res on console? | 05:11 |
| histo | Ubiquity4321: No I guess you cant defrag ntfs in linux | 05:11 |
| Arandur | cfhowlett, by 'settings' do you mean 'System Settings'? | 05:11 |
| MK` | which is of course not feasible for me | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, correct | 05:11 |
| Juest | how i can debug the problems with propetary driver? | 05:11 |
| holstein | !tty | Juest | 05:11 |
| ubottu | Juest: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 05:11 |
| cfhowlett | Juest, go to support from the package maintainer | 05:11 |
| holstein | Juest: you mean, tty resolution? | 05:11 |
| Juest | yea, but it should be autodetected | 05:12 |
| kunji | MK`: Ah, that's too bad, wish I could help more, but I don't remember much about deb packing | 05:12 |
| Arandur | cfhowlett, I do not see an option by that name. The closest I see is "Network". | 05:12 |
| MK` | alright | 05:12 |
| histo | MK`: You need to upgrade | 05:12 |
| MK` | Pretty sure it's a fail dependency. And I am aware, I am just unable to right now | 05:12 |
| histo | !eol | MK` | 05:12 |
| ubottu | MK`: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 05:12 |
| holstein | Juest: i usually just file bugs, and move on.. hte proprietary drivers and just that.. propietary.. not many folks can or will be able to do anything about the issues you have | 05:12 |
| Ubiquity4321 | I guess I'll have to find a different way then | 05:12 |
| Ubiquity4321 | thank you! | 05:12 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, nope. look around. you want to check for "additional drivers" | 05:13 |
| Juest | can i get "fixed" driver from amd by installing catalyst? | 05:13 |
| cfhowlett | settings/system somewhere | 05:13 |
| histo | !sound > myersg | 05:13 |
| ubottu | myersg, please see my private message | 05:13 |
| histo | MK`: Also what package are you trying to install by the way? | 05:14 |
| Arandur | cfhowlett, there are 24 icons in the System Settings window, divided into three sections: Personal, Hardware, and System. None of these icons say anything about drivers. Am I in the wrong place? | 05:14 |
| histo | !ati > Juest | 05:14 |
| ubottu | Juest, please see my private message | 05:14 |
| holstein | Juest: you can try.. amd maintains that.. not sure if it supports your hardware or not.. but it wont hurt to try it | 05:14 |
| MK` | histo: it's an emulator called Gens/GS | 05:14 |

| Arandur | cfhowlett, thanks for the help. | 05:15 |
| kunji | Arrandur: Yep, no problem ^_^ | 05:15 |
| holstein | twoflowers: 10.04, then 12.04.. 14.04, hopefully | 05:16 |
| holstein | twoflowers: AFAIK, that could be changed.. anytime... | 05:16 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, best of luck. FWIW, I suspect you have a broadcom wifi card which sometimes requires post-installation configuration to activate | 05:16 |
| kunji | holstein: I suppose they could change it for 14.04, but there hasn't been any indication of that as far as I know. | 05:17 |
| holstein | twoflowers: its typically every 2 years... 12.04.. april (04) of 2012 (12) .. and so on.. but it could change | 05:17 |

| cfhowlett | !root|Juest, | 05:17 |
| ubottu | Juest,: 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 | 05:17 |

| histo | ubuntuw1204: What are you doing with it? | 05:30 |
| histo | Juest: Can you pastebin the error/message you are getting | 05:30 |
| Juest | NO errors, and sources.list.d doesn't exist | 05:31 |
| _Dude_ | has anyone managed to get steam to install on ubuntu 12.04.2 without it trying to remove a bunch of stuff? looks like it tries to downgrade the xorg server to the version that comes with 12.04.1 | 05:31 |
| _Dude_ | seems like multiarch is broken | 05:31 |
| histo | Juest: sources.list.d is a directory. Inside of it you will find other sources files | 05:32 |
| Juest | oh wait | 05:32 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: i want to stay updated | 05:32 |
| Juest | it's an empty folder | 05:32 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: What are you going to be using the computer for? | 05:32 |
| Juest | ubuntuw1204: get 12.10 :P | 05:32 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: i use it for basic everyday work ,internet, gimp, inkscape, office, etc | 05:33 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: 12.04 is lts 12.10 is just a regular release | 05:33 |
| histo | !lts | ubuntuw1204 | 05:33 |
| ubottu | ubuntuw1204: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 05:33 |
| _Dude_ | that needs to be updated | 05:33 |
| _Dude_ | it's now 5 years desktop and server | 05:33 |
| histo | _Dude_: it says that. | 05:33 |
| histo | if you read passed the exception line | 05:33 |
| _Dude_ | oh duh | 05:33 |
| _Dude_ | sorry i didn't read the whole thing lol | 05:33 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: what is the genral practice to upgrade every 6 months | 05:34 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: how can i quickstart libreoffice | 05:34 |
| Juest | im using gnome-shell and no menus appear | 05:35 |
| Juest | is that a bug? | 05:35 |
| Juest | or i have to uninstall unity? | 05:35 |
| Tex_Nick | ubuntuw1204: 12.10 won't give you more for what you want to do ... 12.04 provides long term support | 05:35 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuw1204, why upgrade every 6 months? | 05:35 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuw1204, unless you actually NEED the bleeding edge, install LTS, maintain it and install the next LTS in 2 years ... or keep it for it's lifetime of 36 - 60 months | 05:36 |

| jakey1 | do people prefer to run ubuntu with a virtual machine of windows or the other way round? | 05:37 |
| cfhowlett | jakey1, no polls please. | 05:38 |
| cfhowlett | jakey1, but if you have an actual "how do I ...?" | 05:38 |
| jakey1 | is it better to run ubuntu with a virtual machine of windows or the other way round? | 05:38 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: You get security fixes and updates along they way. When a new release comes out you will get asked if you want to upgrade to that release. Upgradign from LTS to LTS is supported. But ugpraded from 12.10 to the next LTS is not. You have to upgrade eache version along the way if you are running just a regular release | 05:38 |
| jakey1 | is it better to run ubuntu with a virtual machine on windows or the other way round? | 05:39 |
| histo | jakey1: I don't use windows that's my prefered method | 05:39 |
| jakey1 | haha | 05:39 |
| histo | jakey1: Why do you need windows? | 05:39 |
| kunji | cfhowlett: I wouldn't exactly call the 6 month releases bleeding edge (maybe from a server perspective, but not for everyday desktop). | 05:39 |
| jakey1 | for a number of programs you cant get on linux | 05:39 |
| jakey1 | or crash when you use wine | 05:40 |
| Arandur | cfhowlett, thank you for all your help. My issue is fully resolved. | 05:40 |
| cfhowlett | kunji, OK | 05:40 |
| cfhowlett | Arandur, congrats. go forward, be safe, have fun | 05:40 |
| Arandur | Woo! | 05:40 |
| histo | jakey1: What sort of programs? | 05:40 |
| histo | jakey1: there are many free open source alternatives i'm sure. | 05:40 |
| cfhowlett | !alternatives|jakey1, | 05:41 |
| ubottu | jakey1,: To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. | 05:41 |
| Tex_Nick | jakey1: which os do you use the most ... if MS, then box ubuntu ... if ubuntu, then bow MS | 05:41 |
| Juest | jakey1: dual boot it | 05:41 |
| Tex_Nick | bow = box | 05:41 |
| cfhowlett | jakey1, ooops, ignore that factoid. but there ARE dozens of free alternatives | 05:41 |
| MK` | cfhowlett: I dunno if you saw earlier, but I misspoke, i am on 11.10 | 05:41 |
| sloofus | Evening folks. | 05:41 |
| cfhowlett | MK`, good. you've got some left in that. | 05:41 |
| MK` | yeah | 05:41 |
| jakey1 | gimp =! photshop | 05:41 |
| _Dude_ | so how do you resolve 32bit dependences on 64bit ubuntu 12.04.2? seems to be broken.. all attempts to install 32bit libs results in it trying to remove the new xorg packages from quantal included with 12.04.2 a long with a bunch of other stuff | 05:41 |
| _Dude_ | i keep reading about multiarch but it seems to be broken | 05:42 |
| _Dude_ | if i try installing package:i386, i get the same thing | 05:42 |
| histo | jakey1: run ps in wine if not suffer with your windows crutch and dualboot | 05:42 |
| antonio_ | this is pissing me off | 05:42 |
| MK` | I had the same issue just earlier _Dude_. It asked me to uninstall ubuntu. I said no and just left it hehind | 05:42 |
| MK` | behind* | 05:42 |
| antonio_ | now my damn usb headset wont work | 05:42 |
| sloofus | i broke my partition table. i do not know how to fix this | 05:43 |
| antonio_ | I have a VERY important audio interview to do right now and the headset wont take any input!!! | 05:43 |
| Juest | Why ubuntu is so complex and problematic? | 05:43 |
| histo | _Dude_: There is no steam 64bit at the moment. You may want to ask if anyone has had success with installing steam on 64bit ubuntu or try askubuntu.com or search the forums if no one hasn't | 05:43 |
| Juest | Fedora works better than this | 05:43 |
| Juest | GRR | 05:43 |
| histo | Juest: please explain. I have no issues | 05:43 |
| kunji | jakey1: Sure it's not equal, I prefer gimp for many things, but some things only photoshop does. I'm not so sure photoshop plays nice in wine. Even in a virtual machine, well you can't dedicate full resources to it, I think dualboot is the way to go for that. | 05:43 |
| Tex_Nick | !details | antonio_ | 05:43 |
| ubottu | antonio_: 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 ..." | 05:43 |
| cfhowlett | Juest, it's not, it just requires more hands from the user than "idiot proof" osx and windows | 05:43 |
| Juest | Im an experienced user | 05:43 |
| antonio_ | tex_nick: here are the details...my usb mic isn't taking any input..running 12.10 | 05:44 |
| Juest | btw, fedora works better | 05:44 |
| cfhowlett | Juest, then perhaps you should use fedora | 05:44 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i know there's no 64bit, but that was never a problem before with any 32bit program i wanted to install.. i just install the 32bit libs | 05:44 |
| _Dude_ | in older distros | 05:44 |
| cfhowlett | Juest, afterall, freedom means free to use ubuntu or not. | 05:44 |
| ubuntuw1204 | ok thanks a lot, i will stick to lts | 05:44 |
| histo | _Dude_: let me try and install steam and see what you are talking about | 05:44 |
| kunji | Juest: That's a matter of opinion.. which I would strongly disagree with... Fedora... | 05:44 |
| Juest | i need help with the os, | 05:44 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i've been reading up on this all day - forums, did google searches, looked through the steam forums on the linux group | 05:45 |
| _Dude_ | a lot of people are having this problem | 05:45 |
| sloofus | hey guys im running ubuntu off a live disk right now. I want to dual boot with windows. When I open gparted to partition my drive, gparted goes out of whack about this possibly being a damaged GPT table. Like no linux application will get near this drive. Any discussion on the topic is much appreciated. | 05:45 |
| _Dude_ | it's a known problem | 05:45 |
| Juest | system was installed with original cdrom packages, and i updated then | 05:45 |
| _Dude_ | wish i read about it earlier before i installed 12.04.2 - i would've stuck with 12.04.1 | 05:45 |
| fh | hey guys. is there a way that i can lock a window? i want it to be non resizable, non removable.. any ideas? | 05:45 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: has it ever worked ? | 05:45 |
| histo | _Dude_: Then sounds like a problem with steam | 05:45 |
| histo | shocker | 05:45 |
| antonio_ | yes.. | 05:45 |
| MK` | tldr; steam was designed for 12.04.1 and then they released 12.04.2 shortly after and steam is half-broken; it's a steam issue | 05:45 |
| antonio_ | it worked yesterday | 05:45 |
| cfhowlett | sloofus, i had to kill the gpt on my previous hackintosh'd dell. after that, no problem | 05:45 |
| antonio_ | I didn't install anything or change anything..this is such bullshit | 05:46 |
| _Dude_ | histo: not really. i tried installing other 32bit packages and i'm having the same problem | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | any package to protect from java exploits? | 05:46 |
| _Dude_ | any 32bit package i try to install using package:i386 or if i do apt-get install ia-lib32, results in it trying to remove a bunch of packages | 05:46 |
| MK` | lotuspsychje: I don't know any packages specifically designed to remove java for you, no | 05:46 |
| _Dude_ | including the new quantal xorg packages that were backported | 05:46 |
| poz | hi guys, i am trying to install cinnamon on my computer | 05:46 |
| sloofus | well the plot thickens. I had already had ubuntu set up for dual boot in the past. i thought i erased everything properly but now i worry it did not | 05:46 |
| antonio_ | normally in the sound manager it would say logitech...now its showing "clear chat comfort usb headset" | 05:46 |
| sloofus | windows still boots just fine | 05:46 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: does it have a level control on the cord or mute switch ? | 05:46 |
| poz | i think i installed it okay | 05:46 |
| sloofus | my bios still sees "ubuntu" however | 05:46 |
| antonio_ | tex_nick: its not that | 05:46 |
| kunji | fh: Yes, there are different type of windows that are supported. The conky people do a good job explaining it in their documentation, I think it would depend on your desktop environment though. | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | sloofus, as I found, even formatting the disk didn't kill the gpt table. | 05:47 |

| _Dude_ | histo: i read that post already | 05:47 |
| Juest | also | 05:47 |
| _Dude_ | nothing in there works | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | sloofus, oh it IS easy! don't be depressed! | 05:47 |

| _Dude_ | histo: the package manager wanting to remove a bunch of packages when installing any 32 bit lib or package, is an issue with ubuntu | 05:50 |
| sloofus | cfhowlett: tut one starts off by recommending the application "gdisk". it isnt installed by default. sudo apt-get install gdisk give me E: Package 'gdisk' has no installation candidate | 05:50 |
| _Dude_ | i've tried it with other packages | 05:50 |

| MK` | what unmet dependencies does it have _Dude_ ? | 05:53 |
| odra | Juest: Get permanent sudo? | 05:53 |
| Juest | Wikipedia it | 05:53 |
| _Dude_ | i have two choices: wait until someone fixes it or let it remove the stuff and downgrade to the 12.04.1 xorg packages | 05:53 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuw1204, kde is not a distro. It's a desktop environment. You can try it out by installing kde | 05:53 |
| Juest | odra: lol, how? | 05:53 |
| odra | persistent even. | 05:53 |
| Juest | !root | odra | 05:53 |
| ubottu | odra: 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 | 05:53 |
| _Dude_ | which is what the package manager is trying to do | 05:53 |
| _Dude_ | basically downgrade to the 12.04.1 packages | 05:54 |
| odra | Juest: Sudo -l | 05:54 |
| odra | Also I didn't say persistent root. I said persistent sudo :/ | 05:54 |
| _Dude_ | from what i've read, i'm guessing people got it working by just letting it remove those xorg packages and downgrading to the 12.04.1 xorg packages | 05:54 |
| histo | _Dude_: Why do you not think this is a valve problem? | 05:54 |
| Juest | lol | 05:54 |
| cfhowlett | odra, root is disabled by default in ubuntu | 05:55 |
| _Dude_ | but id on't want to downgrade lol so i was hoping there was another solution :p | 05:55 |
| Juest | Wish i can use root :P | 05:55 |
| histo | _Dude_: their package requrements are the issue i'm done discussing it. | 05:55 |
| ubuntuw1204 | which Desktop Environment is more stable or more compatible with ubuntu? | 05:55 |
| odra | Again. I didn't say root O__O | 05:55 |
| Juest | ubuntuw1204: Unity, but it sux | 05:55 |
| histo | !best | ubuntuw1204 | 05:55 |
| ubottu | ubuntuw1204: 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. | 05:55 |
| Juest | lol | 05:55 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: recently unity really grew on me. | 05:55 |
| MK` | _Dude_: what does it say when you run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? | 05:55 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: which is the default DE | 05:55 |
| odra | I suppose in ubuntu you can get "root" access by sudoing with an admin user. | 05:55 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i'm not talking about just steam though.. any 32bit package causes the same problems | 05:56 |
| lotuspsychje | guys stick to ubuntu support | 05:56 |
| odra | So just sudo -l in your admin account. | 05:56 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntuw1204, all the recognized canonical distros have more than one DE. try them and choose. they're all stable | 05:56 |
| histo | _Dude_: Why are you installing 32bit packages? | 05:56 |
| _Dude_ | histo: if i try installing 32 bit libs, the package manager still wants to remove the quantal xorg packages | 05:56 |
| _Dude_ | to get steam to work | 05:56 |
| _Dude_ | or any 32bit app (might install skype later - i'm not sure that has a native 64bit version) | 05:56 |
| Juest | _Dude_: why install 32-bits on 64bits os? you should installed 32bits os | 05:56 |
| antonio_ | damnit | 05:57 |
| MK` | _Dude_: what does it say when you run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? :o | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | the 32bit should work on a 64bit ubuntu install | 05:57 |
| antonio_ | ubuntu sucks! | 05:57 |

| histo | ubuntuw1204: I would if it's your first experience with linux. See what you think. It's easy to change very easy. | 05:57 |
| _Dude_ | histo: that's not 64bit, it links to the 32bit packages - still has 32bit dependences and i told you it doesn't work.. there's another error you get when you try to install it | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | poz: at the login manager screen. theres a gear icon | 05:57 |
| cfhowlett | poz, logout. choose a different session from the list. login. | 05:58 |
| antonio_ | my usb headset was working perfectly fine yesterday..then it just doesn't work today..bullshit | 05:58 |
| poz | a gear icon eh | 05:58 |
| AcidRain2013 | i have a 64bit processor with 32bit os, no issues | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | about the only icon on the login screen near your name | 05:58 |
| poz | i will look harder, but i did not see an option | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | !langaugeantonio_, | 05:58 |
| MK` | _Dude_... please respond, I am trying to help :P | 05:58 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: how about gnome 3 ? | 05:58 |
| odra | What is this side bar thing called in ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| histo | !unity | ubuntuw1204 | 05:58 |
| ubottu | ubuntuw1204: 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 | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | odra: the left side launcher you mean? | 05:58 |
| Juest | ubuntuw1204: that's gnome-shell, it's available on fedora | 05:58 |
| odra | drYeah | 05:58 |
| poz | well i tryed installing a few differernt enviroements, the ubuntu defalt is no longer there... | 05:58 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: unity is a shell runningn on tope of gnome3 | 05:58 |
| poz | but i will be right back | 05:59 |
| BHXSpecter | man, I have fought all day to try and fix the error I got after installing Steam on ubuntu with no luck at all...stupid libdrm-nouveau2 error...has my system locked up so I can't do anything, but don't want to do a fresh install......to add to the problems, told desktop to upgrade to 12.10, but it froze and now I get a blank screen after selecting the kernel *fun day* | 05:59 |
| histo | Juest: it's availible in ubuntu also | 05:59 |
| AcidRain2013 | odra: sudo aptitude install gnome-shell <--- save a life | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | poz, unless you deleted it, it's there | 05:59 |
| okee | Did Ubuntu ever come up with a UEFI boot loader alternative for Windows 8? | 05:59 |
| Juest | yes i know | 05:59 |
| Juest | but it sucks | 05:59 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: have you by any chance changed the usb port it was plugged into yesterday ? | 05:59 |
| Juest | no menu | 05:59 |
| FloodBot1 | Juest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:59 |
| histo | okee: yes | 05:59 |
| antonio_ | tex_nick: don't think so | 05:59 |
| histo | !uefi | okee | 05:59 |
| ubottu | okee: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/10228/whats-the-right-terminology-for-unitys-ui-elements/10245#10245 | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | okee, 12.04.2 has the uefi support ... | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | for what things are called | 05:59 |
| antonio_ | I can hear sound on it just fine...not inputing my voice | 05:59 |
| histo | okee: keep in mind you need to use 64bit | 06:00 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: should i install gnome shell and use gnome 3? | 06:00 |
| Juest | Why no 32bits ubuntu with uefi support like win8? | 06:00 |
| antonio_ | damnit! | 06:00 |
| okee | Have you tried it? How well does it work? I am thinking of installing mint (Ubuntu edition), dual boot with win XP 32-bit on a 64-bit motherboard, and wondering if this is a good idea? | 06:00 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_, have you disabled speaking with the mic hardware switch? | 06:00 |
| antonio_ | what hardware switch? | 06:00 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: That's up to you. You can do whatever you want. | 06:00 |
| Juest | okee: Yes, i | 06:00 |
| Juest | lol | 06:00 |
| Juest | Doh | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | okee: i recommend sticking with ubuntu , and not using mint. | 06:00 |
| ubuntuw1204 | histo: ok thanks a lot bye | 06:00 |
| Juest | okee: Sry | 06:00 |
| cfhowlett | antonio_, read your hardware manual. the set has a voice mute button | 06:00 |
| histo | ubuntuw1204: You can also do all of this from a livecd and see which one you like. All the install disks are live bootable | 06:01 |
| antonio_ | nope..its not that cfhowlett: | 06:01 |
| Juest | Mint is a spin of stable distros | 06:01 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: doesn't return any output | 06:01 |
| MK` | Hm. Well that's good, means there's no package causing the issue I think | 06:01 |
| odra | Fine I'll install gnome shell | 06:01 |
| odra | Isn't a gnome that thing in snow white story btw? | 06:02 |
| histo | Juest: Do you have a ubuntu related support question? | 06:02 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: did you have a look at the link i provided a bit ago ? | 06:02 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: right, because i hit 'n' when it asked me if it wanted to remove those packages | 06:02 |
| antonio_ | tex:nick: didn't help | 06:02 |
| Juest | histo: this channel is pissing me off really | 06:02 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: and then i tried the steam deb package and then had to apt-get -f remove | 06:02 |
| poz | thank you everyone that helped me before. cinnamon seems to be working now | 06:02 |
| poz | so how many of you guys have experience with bitcoins? | 06:02 |
| histo | IdleOne: Thank you | 06:02 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: try another usb connector | 06:03 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: so it wouldn't keep me from installing anything else | 06:03 |
| cfhowlett | IdleOne, thanks | 06:03 |
| BHXSpecter | looks like it is safe to say not to use steam on ubuntu any time soon as it seems to just cause a lot of headaches :( | 06:03 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: usb port | 06:03 |
| antonio_ | tex_nick: tried that | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | steam is a little weird in how it does things from what ive seen. | 06:03 |
| histo | BHXSpecter: atleast until valve gets there stuff together. | 06:03 |
| histo | BHXSpecter: should be soon. | 06:03 |
| Juest | What happened? | 06:03 |
| AcidRain2013 | valve is good. but it should be for free | 06:04 |
| histo | Juest: You were kicked by an operator | 06:04 |
| _Dude_ | histo: and someone fixes the way 12.04.2 so it doesn't try and uninstall the new xorg quantal packages included with 12.04.2 whenever you try installing 32bit anything | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, steam IS free | 06:04 |
| MK` | _Dude_: when you ran apt-get -f install, what did it attempt to install? Aside from the things it requested to remove | 06:04 |
| AcidRain2013 | cfhowlett: rly? | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | _Dude_, 12.04.2 precise doesnt' HAVE quantal packagees | 06:04 |
| histo | _Dude_: please explain what 32bit package you are trying to install that want's to remove xorg? | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, steam is free. games are not. | 06:05 |
| odra | Yes. | 06:05 |
| odra | Not just free software. | 06:05 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: yes, but i didn't want to proceed because it's the same thing i'm getting | 06:05 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: You didn't know that? o__O | 06:05 |
| MK` | I mean, when it lists the packages to remove, it also lists the packages it is attempting to install. What were they? | 06:05 |
| AcidRain2013 | cfhowlett: :/ snap. | 06:05 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: There are some free games. Such as TF2. | 06:05 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: hold on let me try this again | 06:06 |
| AcidRain2013 | odra: cfhowlett: so what your telling me is i can go buy lfd2 and install steam from repos, and play for free... online? | 06:06 |
| BHXSpecter | I installed it, first time I ran steam it said to add x-swat/x-updates to ppa, everything was up to date until adding that, when I told it to update it acted like it was going to do fine, but stopped on a dependency for libdrm-nouveau2 and now can't install/remove/update/upgrade or anything due to dependency error and no way to fix it apparently | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | TF2 is very impressive for a free game. ;) | 06:06 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, as I understand it, yes. | 06:06 |
| _Dude_ | cfhowlett: i'm talking about these packages: xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-sisusb-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-tdfx-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-trident-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-vesa-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-video-vmware-lts-quantal | 06:06 |
| _Dude_ | cfhowlett: they are included in 12.04.2 | 06:06 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: What? | 06:06 |
| _Dude_ | cfhowlett: they backported some stuff in 12.04.2 and made it part of 12.04.2 | 06:06 |
| MK` | 12.04.2 includes quantal backports yeah | 06:06 |
| histo | AcidRain2013: I don't think it's unreasonable that game developers want money for spending countless hours and money making a game. Wouldn't you contribute to an humble indie bundle? | 06:06 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: You install steam from the repo, buy lfd2, install it from steam, and play it. | 06:07 |
| odra | Since you bought lfd2 it's not free lol | 06:07 |
| _Dude_ | cfhowlett: "To help support a broader range of hardware, the 12.04.2 release adds an updated kernel and X stack for new installations on x86 architectures, and matches the ability of 12.10 to install on systems using UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled." | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | _Dude_, my bad. just torrenting 12.4.2 now and hav not installed yet. | 06:07 |
| AcidRain2013 | histo: just as linux does. i will donate. | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | left4dead does not have a native linux port from what im seeing... | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | _Dude_, learn something new every day ... | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | so its not going to be runable from the linux steam client | 06:07 |
| histo | _Dude_: Where are you seeing that? | 06:07 |
| _Dude_ | histo: whenever i install 32bit anything | 06:08 |
| _Dude_ | histo: libs, programs, steam, doesn't matter | 06:08 |
| histo | _Dude_: I have no quantal packages here on 12.04.2 | 06:08 |
| AcidRain2013 | odra: well i didnt say i bought it ;) how i acquire games apparently will get you ban | 06:08 |
| MK` | _Dude_ please put the entire output of apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 06:08 |
| MK` | so we can peruse it | 06:08 |
| Brewmaster619 | I just tried Steam about two hours ago..it won't run, an icon shows on the launcher for about 10 seconds, then disappears | 06:08 |
| Tex_Nick | antonio_: in "system settings" / sound / input ... what do you see there ? | 06:08 |
| _Dude_ | mk`: ok | 06:08 |
| histo | _Dude_: are you sure your didn't backport some things? | 06:08 |
| _Dude_ | histo: yea i'm sure - i turned off the backports option under software sources | 06:09 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i did that before i did an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade | 06:09 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i also saw a lot of other people having the same problem | 06:09 |
| histo | _Dude_: I have no quantal packages here and i'm up to date | 06:09 |
| GeekSquid | Brewmaster619 you can try to run it in a terminal and see what kind of output it is spitting out and see if it is missing something somewhere | 06:09 |
| histo | _Dude_: cat /etc/issue please | 06:10 |
| BHXSpecter | this is basically the error I get when I do anything for trying to update/remove/install/upgrade..in this case I tried doing a force remove http://paste.ubuntu.com/1675787/ | 06:10 |
| aPpYe | I am wondering why the kde-desktop metapackage requires anacron ... is it required for the update manager to work properly? | 06:10 |
| _Dude_ | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS :p | 06:10 |
| _Dude_ | i know what i'm using lol | 06:10 |
| _Dude_ | i just installed it like last night | 06:10 |
| _Dude_ | i've been using ubuntu since 8.04 and before that linux on and off over the years (though never as a main os until ubuntu) | 06:11 |
| _Dude_ | hold on let me try and installt his game and post stuff on pastebin for you guys to look at | 06:11 |
| _Dude_ | *this again | 06:11 |
| AcidRain2013 | _Dude_: it may take years for Steam to make a perfect client. | 06:12 |
| AcidRain2013 | well id say if they havent done it in 2ish, then they will remove project | 06:12 |
| _Dude_ | acidrain2013: oh i have no doubt of that.. but my issue doesn't just occur with trying to install steam | 06:12 |
| GeekSquid | aPpYe: Consider as a sys admin, wouldn't you want to be able to schedule tasks from your desktop | 06:13 |
| _Dude_ | seems like 32bit anything is broken in 12.04.2 | 06:13 |
| histo | !info xserver-xorg-video-sis-lts-quantal precise | 06:13 |

| histo | hrm... | 06:13 |
| AcidRain2013 | _Dude_: did you do a upgrade to distro from another version? | 06:13 |
| wiggmpk | GeekSquid: system admin and desktop is more of a Windows mindset | 06:13 |
| suka|janda | wtf http://thehackernews.com/2012/12/ubuntu-linux-is-spyware.html | 06:13 |
| _Dude_ | acidrain2013: no fresh install | 06:13 |
| MK` | suka|janda: amazon? old news | 06:14 |
| Brewmaster619 | anyone know what PAC is? I ran steam in a terminal, and among other things, it complained about lack of PAC support, don't know w hat that is. | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | suka|janda: old news. and basically FUD. and not really On topic. | 06:14 |
| BHXSpecter | _Dude_: be glad you are having my problem. Spent the whole day at steam forums just to be told a fresh install was the only way to fix my error (which was brought about after installing steam and doing what it said to do) | 06:14 |
| cfhowlett | suka|janda, easily bypassed by login with a different deskktop environment. no unity, no amazon lens | 06:14 |
| wiggmpk | suka|janda: pure speculation of someone's opinion | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | suka|janda: and you can disable the amazon lens if you want to | 06:15 |
| AcidRain2013 | _Dude_: how long ago did you do this fresh install? | 06:15 |
| Brewmaster619 | amazon leans easy to disable | 06:15 |
| suka|janda | nice info dude | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | wife likes the amazon lens.. makes her shopping easier.. | 06:15 |
| Brewmaster619 | I liked it better when somone got me an amazon gift card.... | 06:16 |
| _Dude_ | acidrain2013: actually i did it within the last 24 hours, like sunday afternoon | 06:16 |
| histo | _Dude_: In the release notes it says the stack is only indeded for use on x86 hardware | 06:16 |
| Juest | hey, it's normal if steam takes long to start up? | 06:16 |
| histo | _Dude_: do you have the linux-generic-lts-quantal and xserver-xorg-lts-quantal packages installed? | 06:16 |
| AcidRain2013 | _Dude_: then my advice to you, is to take the 20min that it takes for ubuntu to install, and install a better flavor | 06:16 |
| BHXSpecter | my day and a half 'tech support' for trying to fix my problem => http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864959809948651461/ | 06:16 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: ... | 06:17 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: You have to buy the game in steam. | 06:17 |
| histo | _Dude_: Please look above.... let me know. | 06:17 |
| odra | AcidRain2013: That is one of the two main points of steam existing. | 06:17 |
| AcidRain2013 | odra: i havent ever used steam:/ | 06:17 |
| odra | I noticed. | 06:17 |
| _Dude_ | histo: right, this is x86 hardware (64bit x86 hardware) and on the ubuntu site, all download links go to 12.04.2 (even 64bit).. there are 64bit isos | 06:17 |
| AcidRain2013 | lol | 06:17 |
| _Dude_ | histos: maybe it's not important, but i did use the alternate disk to install | 06:17 |
| AcidRain2013 | x86 = 32bit? | 06:17 |
| wiggmpk | AcidRain2013: correct | 06:18 |
| histo | _Dude_: Do you have those packages installed? | 06:18 |
| _Dude_ | usually they say i386 for 32bit | 06:18 |
| _Dude_ | hold on | 06:18 |
| poz | anyone know what file to add ppa's too? | 06:18 |
| histo | _Dude_: dpkg -l | grep quantal | 06:18 |
| poz | i forget | 06:18 |
| dr_willis | Juest: steam takes about 30-40 sec to start here.. ive never really counted.. | 06:18 |
| AcidRain2013 | _Dude_: right. you cannot run 64bit software on 32bit hardware... to my knowledge | 06:18 |
| wiggmpk | 386, 686, x86, all = 32bit | 06:18 |
| cfhowlett | _Dude_, idiotic question to ask , but have your run get dist-upgrade recently ? | 06:18 |
| _Dude_ | histo: yes i have those installed | 06:18 |
| histo | _Dude_: please remove them. I don't know how you got them installed | 06:18 |
| _Dude_ | cfhowlett: there's no other updates to install so dist-upgrade wouldn't do anything | 06:19 |
| _Dude_ | histo: hmm really | 06:19 |
| dr_willis | there could be some held packages. that dist-uprade may pull in | 06:19 |
| cfhowlett | _Dude_, ... indulge me ... | 06:19 |
| histo | _Dude_: I don't have them on my system running 12.04.2 64bit here | 06:19 |
| histo | _Dude_: Did you install from a 12.04.1 cd? | 06:20 |
| _Dude_ | well if there not meant to be installed, and if the desktop disk doesn't install them, but the alternate disk does - then the alternate disk is borked | 06:20 |
| _Dude_ | seems it would be a bug with the alternate disk | 06:20 |
| _Dude_ | histo: no 12.04.2 iso that i put on a usb stick | 06:20 |
| poz | what file do i add ppa's to? | 06:20 |

| histo | wiggmpk: these new hardware stack packages | 06:20 |
| _Dude_ | the quantal packages that they include in 12.04.2 (at least that's what i assumed) | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | poz: best to use the ppa manager commands.. they have files n /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 06:21 |
| cfhowlett | AcidRain2013, urban something or other | 06:21 |
| AcidRain2013 | cfhowlett: thats it. let me google | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | Urban Terror | 06:21 |

| histo | hrm.. | 06:22 |
| _Dude_ | 3.5.0 is the new kernel from quantal | 06:23 |
| _Dude_ | that was backported | 06:23 |
| _Dude_ | 12.04.1 comes with like 3.2 kernel by default unless you run apt-get install on those packages that happen to have quantal on the end | 06:23 |
| _Dude_ | at least that's what i read | 06:23 |
| histo | _Dude_: Yeah my system isn't even installing 3.5 | 06:23 |
| wiggmpk | histo: im running 3.2.0-37-generic on 12.04.2 | 06:23 |
| _Dude_ | so that's why i assume this is normal to have those installed | 06:23 |
| _Dude_ | histo: huh odd | 06:23 |
| histo | wiggmpk: Right but if you install from disk today he's saying you'll be running 3.5 | 06:24 |
| wiggmpk | histo: interesting | 06:24 |
| histo | _Dude_: you can obtain an 12.04.1 CD from old-releases.ubuntu.com | 06:24 |
| wiggmpk | histo: guess i'll download it and throw it in VM | 06:24 |
| histo | _Dude_: I would also file a bug | 06:24 |
| histo | wiggmpk: I am right now also | 06:24 |
| histo | wait I just downloaded mini.iso | 06:24 |
| _Dude_ | histo: i also have a 12.04.1 alternate and desktpo image (wishing i installed that instead lol) | 06:24 |
| wiggmpk | histo: are we talking strictly alternate image or the desktop image too? | 06:24 |
| EpicCyndaquil | does libmozjs2d_1.9.1.16-10_amd64.deb or something similar exist within the standard ubuntu repo? | 06:24 |
| _Dude_ | i had used the desktop image to install 12.04.1 on another, but on this one i put 12.04.2 on it | 06:25 |
| _Dude_ | i was about to install 12.04.1 on this but then saw 12.04.2 was released | 06:25 |
| _Dude_ | like 4-5 days after i downloaded the alternate image | 06:25 |
| histo | wiggmpk: well i'm trying the 64bit mini.iso right now we'll see. | 06:25 |
| wiggmpk | histo: for 12.04 right? | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | once you do an apt-get update. apt-get upgrad eon a 12.04.1 instell.. it should be identical to 12.04.2 | 06:26 |
| _Dude_ | actually you have to install the new kernel and xorg packages manually if you want them if you're going from 12.04.1 -> 12.04.2 (not sure if it only becomes 12.04.2 when you install those packages) | 06:26 |
| histo | wiggmpk: _Dude_ Perform an update or upgrade to Precise from a previous Ubuntu release. Only those installing from the 12.04.2 media will automatically receive a newer hardware enablement stack by default. | 06:26 |
| === LKJ_ is now known as Guest71319 | ||
| histo | dr_willis: that's not the case anymore | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | a dist-upgrade should pull those in i would imagine. | 06:27 |
| histo | dr_willis: wiggmpk _Dude_ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#LTS_Hardware_Enablement_Stack | 06:27 |
| histo | dr_willis: I just did a dist-upgrade it doesnt | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | histo: that would seem... weird... | 06:27 |
| wiggmpk | histo: thanks | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | but im on 12.10 :) so cant test | 06:28 |
| StormTwo | hey is there any of you guys that could help me with terminal? | 06:29 |
| dr_willis | give us some details StormTwo | 06:29 |
| histo | dr_willis: Additionally, anyone upgrading to Precise will not be automatically upgraded to the new Quantal enablement stack. Again, they can electively choose to do so by manually installing the appropriate meta package. | 06:29 |
| librarystudent02 | -_- | 06:29 |
| Tex_Nick | about 6 monts ago i burned 14 DVD's in win xp .with identical parameters .. i verified the disks after burning ... only one of the disks will read in quantal ... any ideas why ? | 06:29 |
| _Dude_ | i'm pretty sure by x86 they mean 32bit and 64bit (the 64bit download option on ubuntu.com will also get you the 64bit iso of 12.04.2 which comes with the enablement stack from quantal) | 06:29 |
| _Dude_ | which is what i installed | 06:30 |
| _Dude_ | and despite the problem with the 32bit libs, everything works great | 06:30 |
| StormTwo | for example, how could terminal fix the computer booting problem | 06:30 |
| StormTwo | ? | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | histo: sounds like somthing thats going to cause a lot of confuseion. | 06:30 |

| Guest31726 | hello | 06:31 |
| _Dude_ | yea it does unless you want to remove part of the enablement stack (the xorg packages).. which i guess works too because some people on the steam forums who probably doesn't understand that they are uninstalling a lot of stuff are doing it anyway | 06:31 |
| _Dude_ | to get steam working | 06:31 |
| _Dude_ | and they say it works | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | Try a more original Nik. ;) | 06:32 |
| _Dude_ | so maybe is hould just do that.. it's not like i have anything important on this linux install (yet anyway) | 06:32 |
| wiggmpk | The hardware enablement stack is only intended for use on x86 hardware at this time. | 06:32 |
| _Dude_ | so if i bork it i can just reinstall | 06:32 |

| histo | !notunity | AirCombat | 06:37 |
| ubottu | AirCombat: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 06:37 |

| cfhowlett | josvis, vlc has a capture mode | 06:39 |
| cfhowlett | odra, desktop environment | 06:40 |
| Nz17 | How do I make sure environmental variables exist for all shells/non-shells and not just bash? i.e., Like .bashrc but for all. | 06:40 |
| AirCombat | im wondering the same thing: at my login screen I dont see any options to change the DE. | 06:40 |
| odra | cfhowlett: I haven't actually selected any. Does it stay as default after you select it once? | 06:40 |
| cfhowlett | odra, yes it does | 06:40 |
| AirCombat | is it true that 12.10 has no more dropdown menu for DE? | 06:41 |
| odra | AirCombat: I think it's the circle button on the login screen in the top right of your account name | 06:41 |
| cfhowlett | AirCombat, on 12.10 logout. find the "gear" icon. select a different de from the dropdown menu. login. | 06:41 |

| histo | krnxrat: Unmounting a partition won't hurt anything did you do anything else? | 06:43 |
| krnxrat | Not really, the thing is i unmounted the partition even after I received an error | 06:43 |
| odra | Woo | 06:44 |
| odra | I'm on gnome shell now :D | 06:44 |
| odra | And clicking stuff in the taskbar still won't minimize them. | 06:45 |
| odra | But, the taskbar looks cooler. | 06:45 |
| histo | odra: the menu bar? | 06:45 |
| histo | krnxrat: what error did you receive? | 06:45 |
| odra | Why can't it be task bar? | 06:45 |
| odra | Why is there a task bar in windows, a launch bar in unit and a menu bar in gnome shell? | 06:46 |
| histo | krnxrat: Also what happens when you try and start windows? | 06:46 |
| krnxrat | This one "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda3 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting." | 06:46 |
| krnxrat | and this one "Partition(s) 2 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes." | 06:46 |
| AirCombat | odra, LOL | 06:46 |
| histo | odra: the menubar is at the top. the launch bar is on the left both in unity and I believe gnome has one. | 06:46 |
| AirCombat | im just logging in/out to see how it runs... brb | 06:46 |
| odra | Ok. So... | 06:47 |
| histo | odra: Windows has a tasks bar because "tasks" or applications are listed there. This is not the case in unity or gnome shell. | 06:47 |
| odra | How can I click to minimize in the "menu bar" | 06:47 |
| krnxrat | and when I try to boot up windows, it gives me the option to either go into recovery (which doesn't work without the CD) or start normally. If I start normally it stays on the "Starting windows" screen | 06:47 |
| histo | odra: mouse up on the menubar and click the minimize button | 06:47 |
| odra | histo: I can't find a minimize button. | 06:48 |
| histo | odra: or take the window out of full screen mode and window controls will be in the upper left corner of the window | 06:48 |
| cfhowlett | krnxrat, 1. your windows install is still there (probably) 2. you need the windows disk to repair windows | 06:48 |
| apb1963_ | Is this something that I should be concerned about? The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. | 06:48 |
| odra | Oh this is great. Before I had a launcher that didn't minimize windows if I clicked their icons. Now I lost even the minimize button in the windows. | 06:48 |

| histo | odra2: AirCombat Are you both using gnome-shell and not unity? | 07:01 |
| odra2 | GIMP has two windows. The main window and a toolbox. | 07:01 |
| AirCombat | as far as I know. I'm definitely not using unity anymore | 07:01 |
| odra2 | And yet only one shows in this weird "activities" thing or whatever. But if I click it both windows show. | 07:01 |
| odra2 | I wonder what kind of sorcery is this. | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | odra2: theres some sort of gimp-single window mode also. | 07:01 |
| histo | odra2: because one window is the main window the others are closable and the main will stay open with gimp. | 07:02 |
| odra2 | dr_willis: Yes I know. But I'm more interested in how did it turn out like that. | 07:02 |
| odra2 | histo: Hmm............. | 07:02 |
| odra2 | I need to learn how to make windows like that. | 07:02 |
| histo | odra2: AirCombat yeah if you aren't using unity that's what happened to the minimize button | 07:02 |

| AirCombat | odra2, yes, as far as I can tell | 07:04 |
| === odra2 is now known as odra | ||
| Tex_Nick | odra : for those that use multi monitor setup ... the gimp workspace can fill an entire monitor, while the toolbars can be moved onto another monitor ... photoshop, illustrator, autocad & other graphics heavy apps also do that :) | 07:06 |
| sv_in | I just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. Now when I try to login with my account (with correct password), ubuntu is bringing me back to login page with no error message. Guest session is working fine. Any ideas? | 07:07 |
| odra | Tex_Nick: I'm wondering because I'm making an app and I would like the windows to be grouped like that | 07:07 |
| Tex_Nick | odra : ok ... cool design practice ... if your app workspace demands a lot of screenspace :) | 07:10 |

| knot | hello there. I've been working at a new PC/LAN gaming center and I have a few questions. I used a drbl server to deploy a 1tb HD image to all 40 stations, but I'm concerned with the upkeep of game updates and game adding in general. is there a way to use some sort of rsync over a network? to push smaller updates instead of a whole re-image. just looking for some alternatives | 07:27 |
| vnc786 | can pdf be converted to any other format like doc,xls etc if the pdf it self is made from excel or doc i tried online as well libre pdfimport it gets converted but the text is not in order.. | 07:27 |
| knot | sorry for wall of text :P | 07:27 |
| RealKillaz_ | I just want to force the removal and purge everything of freeradius | 07:28 |
| RealKillaz_ | jjust make the system forget freeradius is installed | 07:28 |

| cfhowlett | RealKillaz, oooh, a challenge! | 07:32 |
| vnc786 | usr13: thanks for info what i beleive is pdf cannot be converted in any other format (can be converted condition is that pdf should contain some simple text) am i right...? | 07:32 |
| cfhowlett | RealKillaz, ps -ax didn't reveal what service is running it? | 07:32 |
| RealKillaz_ | cfhowlett, the server can not go down | 07:32 |
| usr13 | vnc786: Well, it can be converted to another image type. | 07:33 |
| cfhowlett | RealKillaz, understood, but ps -ax should reveal your working processes. | 07:33 |
| RealKillaz_ | there is no service running freeradius | 07:33 |
| RealKillaz_ | so I dont't undertstand where the init script gets the pid | 07:33 |
| usr13 | RealKillaz_: service --status-all | 07:34 |
| RealKillaz_ | ps aux | grep radius does not reveal anthing | 07:34 |
| RealKillaz_ | usr13, that shows: [ ? ] freeradius | 07:35 |
| usr13 | RealKillaz_: Maybe a lock file? | 07:35 |
| vnc786 | usr13: but not to any proper text format like doc,xls...and there is no utility available which can convert ...just want to confirm i searched a lot and didnt got too...so asking here finally here to settle down | 07:35 |
| RealKillaz_ | usr13, hmm ok | 07:36 |
| usr13 | RealKillaz_: service freeradius stop | 07:36 |
| vnc786 | so that i stop doing my R&D on that ...:) | 07:36 |

| RealKillaz_ | the same PID | 07:37 |

| usr13 | RealKillaz_: lsb_release -r | 07:40 |
| RealKillaz_ | usr13, ok a quick look in the daemon script revealed the problem | 07:41 |
| Tm_T | ak5_: yes, it uses $EDITOR | 07:41 |
| RealKillaz_ | rm -r /var/run/freeradius/freeradius.pid | 07:41 |

| iceroot | flintser: for my setup you need 4 hdds, i would not suggest to use raid just to get more speed, use a ssd instead | 07:51 |

| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 08:03 |
| dr_willis | its very likely that plymouth is not the issue.. its whats supposed to start up after plymouth thats the issue | 08:05 |

I used a drbl server to deploy a 1tb HD image to all 40 stations, but I'm concerned with the upkeep of game updates and game adding in general. is there a way to use some sort of rsync over a network? to push smaller updates instead of a whole re-image. just looking for some alternatives | 08:12 |
| flintser | !id | AlakullihalLinux | 08:12 |
| ubottu | AlakullihalLinux: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 08:12 |
| cfhowlett | knot, local mirror maybe??? | 08:12 |
| knot | I would like it to be automated via a scheduler | 08:13 |
| AlakullihalLinux | I want ask only, are anyone from indonesia | 08:13 |
| leotr | hello! I need some advice. I want to modify ubuntu server installation CD to do the following: 1) add some packages to it (i want them to be automatically installed during installation) 2) put some files to CD and extract them after installation (run some custom script after everything has been installed). I want to do these steps fully automatically and without Internet Connection. ... | 08:14 |
| cfhowlett | |!remastersys|leotr, | 08:14 |
| flintser | knot, i don't know but maybe you could do backup of the 1tb image to all of the 40 stations and keep it synchronized ;F | 08:15 |
| flintser | ;D* | 08:15 |
| knot | that's what I've done | 08:15 |
| knot | but how would I keep it synchronized | 08:15 |
| ak5_ | knot: depending on how you lock down the pcs, you may like the 'reset' of reimaging | 08:16 |
| ak5_ | rsync is not the right tool for that imho | 08:16 |
| knot | reset of re imaging? | 08:16 |
| AlakullihalLinux | no body here #ubuntu-id | 08:16 |
| histo | knot: yeah you could use rsync to transfer config files | 08:17 |
| histo | knot: instead of transfering the whole disk image if you don't want to. | 08:17 |
| leotr | I want CD to be run fully automatically. Yesterday i tried RemasterSys but produced ISO file didn't install anything (some error occured) cfhowlett: I'd like to do it in manual way without remastersys. | 08:17 |
| flintser | knot run somekind of backup software with the drbl and set it to sync images automatically maybe every hour? | 08:17 |
| knot | I dont need transfer of config files. I would need a transfer of game directories to deploy games easier | 08:18 |
| leotr | So i have some questions... | 08:18 |
| histo | knot: yeah you can accomplish that with rsync | 08:18 |
| cfhowlett | leotr, ask | 08:18 |
| histo | knot: it only copies the changes from source to destination | 08:18 |
| knot | that's fine | 08:18 |
| knot | I would have the game installed on the 'master image' then sync to the others | 08:19 |
| histo | knot: yeah mount the master image rsync from the game folder to all the other machines | 08:19 |
| leotr | 1) Packages have dependencies. E.g. i want to install python-pyside package but it has dependencies. How do i figure out what packages do i need to include all of them to ISO file? | 08:19 |
| histo | knot: are you using diskless remote boot on the machines? | 08:19 |
| knot | but how would I automate that for weekly? | 08:19 |
| flintser | leotr: use sudo apt-get -d install to just download packages, it sorts out dependencies too | 08:20 |
| histo | knot: with cron | 08:20 |
| knot | yes drbl has a pxe server too | 08:20 |
| histo | knot: Do the clients have drives or are they booting off the server? | 08:20 |
| knot | they boot from drives | 08:20 |
| histo | knot: ahh yeah then an rsync cronjob is the way to go it sounds | 08:20 |
| knot | windows7 | 08:20 |
| histo | ewww | 08:20 |
| knot | yes. well. Games man | 08:21 |
| leotr | flintser: thank you. May i do this command on some ubuntu desktop distro or it should be done on clean server installation? | 08:21 |
| knot | the drbl server is ubuntu though | 08:21 |
| knot | so I could have a cronjob to wake on lan each machine and rsync from the master image and then shutdown when completed? | 08:22 |
| histo | knot: well you could share each client drive... mount them all on the server and just rsync to the mounts via a cron job. You will find that windows filesystem times differ from that of linux though. But if you are rsyncing from a windows source drive to windows client mount shouldn't be an issue. | 08:22 |
| histo | knot: yeah | 08:22 |
| histo | knot: either way it's up to you on how you want to implement it but there are many options. | 08:22 |
| knot | would I need static ips or just use computer names | 08:23 |
| flintser | leotr: any machine with internet and apt | 08:23 |
| histo | knot: I'd use static ips just to keep things sane. | 08:23 |
| histo | knot: or you can use winbind and use netbios names or whatever. | 08:23 |
| knot | I'm sort of a linux noob, I'm trying to wrap my head around this | 08:23 |
| ga_sk8er | no matter what i do, my video card wont run the steam games. i guess my card isnt supported on ubuntu. is there a site to tell what version of linux is best for my system? | 08:23 |
| histo | knot: you sound like you understand the concept. Why are you using a drbl server? | 08:23 |
| leotr | In other words i think that apt-get -d will download packages that are dependencies and missing (not all dependencies) and doing so on ubuntu desktop will not download all required packages. Or maybe i'm wrong and it's possible to specify directory with available packages and apt will analyse what else is requried? | 08:24 |
| knot | for the initial deployment of the master image | 08:24 |

| dr_willis | and we have seen how much breakate thats been causeing. ;) | 08:28 |
| flintser | leotr: if you have installed the software before using the -d switch, the .deb files are in /var/cache/apt/archives, if you use -d and they aren't installed, it just downloads them to /var/cache/apt/archives | 08:28 |
| ga_sk8er | when i tried to open my game earlier it said something about openGL | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | if you got a spare 16gb usb flash you could try installing 12.10 to it and see if they happen to work. ;) | 08:29 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: don't have 2.0? | 08:29 |
| leotr | flintser: i'm sorry for making so many clarifications... If i understand correctly /var/cache/apt/archives on ubuntu desktop contains packages which might be downloaded before and may contain packages that are actually not required by my distribution. Is it possible to override this directory, copy debs from server CD and download packages that need to be added to server CD? | 08:29 |
| ga_sk8er | aeon-ltd 2.0 of what? | 08:29 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: opengl | 08:29 |

| ga_sk8er | aeon-ltd is open gl in the software center or do i install it by terminal command? | 08:31 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: opengl support will come as part of the driver for your gpu | 08:32 |

| ga_sk8er | aeon-ltd my pc doesnt call it mobility...i think that's a laptop version | 08:33 |

| cousteau | can't find that warning in dmesg | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | it wouldent be in dmesg i imagine.. check your fstab file for a invalid entry. | 08:44 |
| flintser | Fuzzles: i think kubuntu uses more recources since kde has updatet so much and different kinds of widgets are default | 08:44 |
| cousteau | dr_willis, seems to be swap | 08:45 |
| cousteau | swap seems not to be mounted | 08:45 |

| cousteau | or how should I fix it? | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | guess you can try it and see.. you may have to mkswap on the swap partition | 08:55 |
| cousteau | the problem is that the swap partition seems to have fubared | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | delte it. remake it. mkswap on it.. | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | or just mkswap on it | 08:56 |

| superdo | I installed on a laptop, and more faster than Win7, the install and after the install, during usage | 09:28 |
| superdo | it doesnt mean i like win :) | 09:29 |
| PeTaz | win7 is losing suport | 09:29 |
| ga_sk8er | nobody does...its why im trying to get a stable version of linux for my pc | 09:29 |
| superdo | thanks for the tips!! | 09:29 |
| ga_sk8er | in april of this year there wont be anymore win updates for xp | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | ga_sk8er: for a 10 yr old pc... well.. thats going to be problematic | 09:29 |
| Halite_CryingIRL | edwardk | 09:29 |
| superdo | ga_sk8er, dont say.. i have unsolved problen on 12.10 my LAN vs. Wifi arghh.. | 09:30 |
| PeTaz | win8 runs great on 10 years old machine | 09:30 |
| ga_sk8er | dr_willis im running fine except for my video driver. on windows i ran a think to see & my pc is able to run win7 but im not gonna buy an OS for that price when linux is free | 09:31 |
| kaho | just test | 09:31 |
| * dr_willis would like to see benchmarks of that. | 09:31 | |
| ga_sk8er | *thing | 09:31 |
| thufir_ | I'm running xfce. When I click on a .zip file, there's no option to "extract here". How do I get that functionality? I don't want open the archive manager. | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | Theres several legacy type disrtos out for older hardware | 09:31 |
| PeTaz | like xubuntu | 09:31 |
| === Halite_CryingIRL is now known as Halite | ||
| dr_willis | no.. i mean actual Legacy designed disrtos.. Not just light mondern disrtos. | 09:32 |
| ga_sk8er | dr_willis i might even reinstall through my mom's laptop into my hd by my usb reader | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | Puppylinux has a few. disrtowatch i recall lists others | 09:32 |
| kaho | /join #ubuntu-cn | 09:32 |
| PeTaz | damsn samal | 09:32 |
| PeTaz | damn small | 09:32 |
| histo | PeTaz: xubuntu or lubuntu will run on 10 year old hardware | 09:33 |
| ga_sk8er | moms laptop has win7 so it should run pretty good...better than my little dinosaur lol | 09:33 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: It doesn't matter what the the hardware is currently running | 09:33 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: basically it's like this ubuntu could run on some really old hardware; however, now we have unity which requires a 3D video card. If you don't have that it will run horribly slow. If you switch DEs it would be fine. | 09:34 |
| PeTaz | 4mlinux is the best distro | 09:34 |
| l057c0d3r | heh my brother has an older computer... | 09:34 |
| histo | !requirements | ga_sk8er | 09:34 |
| ubottu | ga_sk8er: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 09:34 |
| ga_sk8er | histo my issue is my i cant get my video card driver cause i think its kinda old so the hardware does matter some | 09:34 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: That's not the problem older hardware is usually better supported in linux | 09:35 |
| l057c0d3r | i still say it has something to do with his video card driver... because youtube and vlc ext.. basicly all video lags if full screen | 09:35 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: did you look at the directions from ubottu? | 09:35 |
| histo | !ati | ga_sk8er | 09:35 |
| ubottu | ga_sk8er: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | its possible a 10 yr old ATI card has never had decent linux support... | 09:36 |
| === Halite is now known as Halite_CryingIRL | ||
| cfhowlett | dr_willis, I'd say it's probable ... | 09:37 |
| ga_sk8er | the ati website lists a driver there for linux but it dont tell what distro of linux it is for | 09:37 |
| === Halite_CryingIRL is now known as Opt | ||
| dr_willis | and how old does it say that driver is? | 09:37 |
| === Opt is now known as Halite | ||
| cfhowlett | ga_sk8er, then it's agnostic and might just work | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | id bet they droped support for it at least 5 yrs ago | 09:38 |
| lestus | why would you want to have something from 10 years ago? | 09:38 |
| ga_sk8er | cfhowlett i hope so | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | i bet i got newer hardware in my garrage ready for the trash. ;) | 09:39 |
| lestus | i mean a starter amd card is like 25 bucks | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | lestus, not everyone has that luxury. for many, if it works, why bother with new/shiny stuff. | 09:39 |
| === Guest80442 is now known as Benjdodote | ||
| PeTaz | you could use shipit to get new ubuntu with unity + discret gfx card | 09:40 |
| PeTaz | you could use shipit to get new ubuntu cd with unity + discret gfx card | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | PeTaz, shipit? not anymore ... | 09:41 |
| cfhowlett | !shipit | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program. For more information please see http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 !LoCo teams can request CDs through this link https://forms.canonical.com/lococd/ | 09:41 |
| * dr_willis thought that sounded strange | 09:41 | |
| lestus | cfhowlett, new sure, shiny at that price, doubt it, either way, 25 bucks is not really a luxury, im speaking as someone who comes from poor city, my dad works two jobs sometimes doing 16 hour shifts just to pay bills, yet we have better hardware than that 25 buck card | 09:42 |
| cfhowlett | lestus, perspective. I'm in Beijing. $25 is a weeks salary for a whole LOT of folk. | 09:42 |
| lestus | yea thats what im saying | 09:42 |
| lestus | and guess waht | 09:43 |
| dr_willis | go dumpster diveing. ;) | 09:43 |
| * Tex_Nick says, send me that old hardware ... NO CRT's though :-) | 09:43 | |
| lestus | $800 card is a week salary for folk in some countries also | 09:43 |
| lestus | but they get it | 09:43 |
| lestus | after saving up | 09:43 |
| ga_sk8er | if i was rich enough i wouldnt be on a donosaur pc installing a free OS.....apparently, im broke | 09:44 |
| lestus | so if 25$ is difficult fair enough, but surely its not impossible if you are stuck with 10 year old hardware | 09:44 |
| lestus | i mean surely at SOME stage in those ten years $25 could have been afforded? no? | 09:44 |
| l057c0d3r | ga_sk8er, nothing wrong with free os... | 09:45 |
| lestus | ga_sk8er, valid point | 09:45 |
| superdo | do I need anything more than set info in network/interfaces file to get a static ip address? because I get diff. IP after every boot | 09:46 |
| superdo | It was enough on 11.10 | 09:46 |
| histo | superdo: is this a GUI system? | 09:47 |
| l057c0d3r | im still trying to figure out what is sending key signals in the background on my setup.. | 09:47 |
| l057c0d3r | tried to set keys in zsnes.. and when i press the button joy04 is sent within seconds... | 09:48 |
| cousteau | interesting... googling for "ladrones" (spanish for "thieves") leads to the homepage of the SGAE again | 09:48 |
| ga_sk8er | http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Installing_Proprietary_Drivers_a.k.a._Catalyst.2Ffglrx | 09:48 |
| l057c0d3r | and if i push the set all button it just sets that to all of them... | 09:48 |
| ga_sk8er | that link there tells me to use an older version...even lists my card as example...x300 | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: weird. | 09:48 |
| l057c0d3r | which didn't happen when i was running lubuntu.. and ubuntu for that mater | 09:48 |
| === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby | ||
| superdo | histo: yes | 09:48 |
| ga_sk8er | guess i'll install an older version sometime tomorrow | 09:48 |
| l057c0d3r | but since i started with a minimal.. and built up... it does... | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: tested with a live cd to see if it happend os n other disrtos? | 09:49 |
| === tangostudio is now known as SebLeb | ||
| l057c0d3r | dr_willis, it only happens on this customized mini install.. | 09:49 |
| l057c0d3r | tried different live cd's already | 09:49 |
| superdo | histo: tried adding data for static address, but the Save button was greyd out | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: check what modules are loaded.. there may be some odd joydev modume | 09:49 |
| l057c0d3r | i'm thinking about just droping the minimal install.. and going back to ubuntu/unity.. then just adding a different desktop environment... | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | i never bother with minimal. ;) dont see the point | 09:51 |
| ga_sk8er | i have an ubuntu 9 disc i'll use tomorrow...that should be old enough | 09:51 |
| l057c0d3r | since i've been using gnome3 since my gnome-shell/cairo-dock setup acts up... | 09:51 |
| l057c0d3r | and has to be restarted every few hours... | 09:51 |
| ga_sk8er | if that dont work, then i have fedora 12 | 09:51 |
| histo | superdo: you need to use sudo to edit that file. | 09:51 |
| l057c0d3r | well dr_willis.. i was trying to save hdd space... and only install the things i wanted.... trying to keep track of dependencies and what came in with what ext.. | 09:52 |
| l057c0d3r | which all kind of seems pointless now | 09:52 |
| histo | superdo: also if you are using network manager you may just want to configure your static ip in there. | 09:52 |
| superdo | histo, yes i talked about netw. manager | 09:52 |
| l057c0d3r | ga_sk8er, what are you trying to accomplish again.. | 09:52 |
| superdo | histo, there was the save button grayed out | 09:53 |
| l057c0d3r | because i have an old old old computer.. that runs amazing with lubuntu | 09:53 |
| ga_sk8er | i want to get my video card working right so i can play my steam games under linux | 09:53 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: NO don't use ubuntu 9 | 09:53 |
| l057c0d3r | what kind of video card was it | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | installing steam on ubuntu 9 -- will be a challange i bet., | 09:53 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Use a current version. if it doesn't ahve a 3d video card use xubuntu derivative. Or don't run unity | 09:53 |
| ga_sk8er | ok where would i get the xubuntu? | 09:54 |
| l057c0d3r | histo, i was thinking he should just run lubuntu.. its rather light | 09:54 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: May I please suggest using xubuntu That still won't solve your video card issue as it's just a desktop environment. All the other software kernel etc.. is still the same. | 09:54 |
| l057c0d3r | and would help him out when it comes to gaining every bit of power that he is going to need for his games if he gets them working | 09:54 |
| histo | !ati | ga_sk8er | 09:54 |
| ubottu | ga_sk8er: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 09:54 |
| histo | l057c0d3r: People ahve this really messed up sense on what hardware is required to run ubuntu. Minimum specs are rather low. | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | and it goes full circle again.. hes got a 9+ yr old ati card. so if he uses a newer disrto.. it wont have the fglrx drivers.. and the open sourced drivers dont work well enough to play the games i imagine. | 09:55 |
| l057c0d3r | histo, i under stand that... | 09:55 |
| l057c0d3r | and people tell me that.... | 09:55 |
| l057c0d3r | yet every old computer i put it on.. runs like crap. | 09:56 |
| l057c0d3r | slow slow slow.. xp was faster on them | 09:56 |
| l057c0d3r | so we go with xbuntu or lubuntu on them | 09:56 |
| histo | Because of the video card | 09:56 |
| histo | it's not the rest of the system specs. It's due to unity requiring a 3d video card | 09:56 |
| l057c0d3r | right... | 09:56 |
| ga_sk8er | ubottu http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide#Installing_Proprietary_Drivers_a.k.a._Catalyst.2Ffglrx | 09:56 |
| histo | if ga_sk8er installs video drivers his system will be fine | 09:57 |
| orangemax | hi guys | 09:57 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Have you read the page from ubottu about video drivers? | 09:57 |
| l057c0d3r | i think im starting to like gnome3 | 09:57 |
| aeon-ltd | histo: i suppose that's the problem though, for ubuntu to remain relevant it has to a true alternative to win8 osx. which means utilizing the latest hardware | 09:57 |
| solfern | l057c0d3r, strong words xD | 09:57 |
| aeon-ltd | *be a | 09:57 |
| [RussiaMale36] | hi all | 09:58 |
| jarco | I did like it... Untill I actually installed on my work desktop. Got rid of it in three weeks :) | 09:58 |
| orangemax | oh yeah unity is a total fail | 09:58 |
| histo | aeon-ltd: right but they should still have a fallback mode for hardware that doesn't ahve 3d support in nix. or low end non gaming video cards. | 09:58 |
| l057c0d3r | i've found that shell extensions are a must though | 09:58 |
| jarco | orangemax, Why? | 09:58 |
| histo | aeon-ltd: like unity-2d | 09:58 |
| l057c0d3r | because the default setup rather blows | 09:58 |
| Halite | cry | 09:58 |
| ga_sk8er | histo yeas ive read his page but the link i sent him claims that the older cards wont work & even lists mine as 1 of the examples that dont work | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: i find i get so many extensions.. it gets confuseing. :) then some dont want to get removed.. heh. | 09:59 |
| aeon-ltd | histo: they probably assumed with so many forks of ubuntu they wouldn't need to | 09:59 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Which link? | 09:59 |
| orangemax | coz its unusable | 09:59 |
| orangemax | preffer kubuntu | 09:59 |

| supaplex | hello, I have a problem with dualbooting windows7+ubuntu and dont know how to fix this | 10:00 |
| ga_sk8er | when u click to go to section 3, theres a warning at top about cards no longer supported | 10:00 |
| supaplex | can someone help me? | 10:00 |
| orangemax | supaplex, GRUB problems? | 10:00 |
| shoot | I am trying to forward a connection to my vm from the host. For example, i have RDP/3389(192.168.78.128) on windows vm. My host machine is Ubuntu(192.168.1.115). So if i connect to my local machine using rdesktop 192.168.4.2 then i want the connection to redirect to windows vm rdp | 10:00 |
| jarco | orangemax, Why is it unusable? It works great at my home setup. | 10:00 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: That sux that ati did that. If you use an older version like 8.04 you will not be able to install steam I can garantee that. | 10:00 |
| l057c0d3r | i will say.. removing the task bar.... not a fan.... still kind of wonder what gnome team was up to when they made all the changes. | 10:00 |
| supaplex | orangemax: think so | 10:00 |
| shoot | i was following this guide http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-redirecting-network-traffic-to-a-new-ip-using-iptables/ | 10:00 |
| ga_sk8er | histo but on an older version i should be able to run the windows version under wine, right? | 10:01 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: if that was your whole goal... I've been in and out so I missed most of the conversation. | 10:01 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: you're intel integrated probably has a better chance :) | 10:01 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Can that card even run steam games natively in windows? | 10:01 |
| ga_sk8er | aeon-ltd integrated what? for some reason this mobo doesnt have a built-in video card | 10:01 |
| orangemax | supaplex - what exactly happens when you turn on pc? Does grub boot normally? | 10:01 |
| ga_sk8er | histo yeah i play them all the time in windows | 10:01 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: wow, dude. what oem? | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | ga_sk8er: what games exactly? | 10:02 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : have you chatted with ActionParsnip lately ... haven't seen him here in a while | 10:02 |
| ga_sk8er | i do team fortress 2 but i did have half-life & team fortress classic on my hd before...removed them for disc space cause i dont play them that often | 10:02 |
| ga_sk8er | aeon-ltd windows xp | 10:03 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: On this hardware? | 10:03 |
| aeon-ltd | ga_sk8er: oem not os | 10:03 |
| ga_sk8er | histo yes | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | Tex_Nick: nope. not seen him lately. I was going to show him a URL about a servivce/trick to put all the browsers caches in the tmpfs that he loves so much. ;) | 10:03 |
| l057c0d3r | like dell.. hp.. | 10:03 |

| l057c0d3r | take care peeps | 10:05 |
| ga_sk8er | histo it installs steam fine. i even waited for the game to install. when i run it it gives me an error code | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: sad that amazon prime is now broken on linux. ;( | 10:05 |
| l057c0d3r | really | 10:05 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Have you tried steam support? | 10:05 |
| l057c0d3r | how they manage to break it.. | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | the flash updates broke/changed some DRM stuff. so it dont work any more. | 10:06 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: What sort of error code? | 10:06 |
| dr_willis | I need to try it again - i think i saw a flash update this week | 10:06 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : strange you say that ... he gave me a pointer on something similar ... hope he is well :) | 10:06 |

| l057c0d3r | there was an update.. and then a week later another if i remember correctly | 10:06 |
| roundyz | How can I debug my networking routing table? | 10:07 |
| ga_sk8er | histo Could find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError' Either your video card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated. | 10:07 |
| ga_sk8er | im betting its the outdated card option | 10:07 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : ok man ... could share that ;-) | 10:07 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: Yeah you may not experience that running through wine. It's worth a try | 10:08 |
| supaplex | oh orangemax left | 10:08 |
| histo | ga_sk8er: YOu may want to update your card. May I suggest someone non ATI since they just hosed you like that. | 10:08 |
| supaplex | can someone else help me with a dualboot problem | 10:09 |
| histo | !ask | supaplex | 10:09 |
| ubottu | supaplex: 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 | 10:09 |
| histo | supaplex: did you follow the boot repair procedure? | 10:09 |
| supaplex | I did boot-repair and that fixes the boot procedure | 10:10 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : lol ... i found the post he gave me ... <ActionParsnip> Tex_nick: I also shove my web cache in tempfs for speed :-). Its good for SSDs too, fewer writes with worthless data | 10:10 |
| supaplex | However when I run windows again it seems to corrupt the boot | 10:10 |
| histo | supaplex: Howso? | 10:11 |
| supaplex | As long as I dont use Windows I will get the dualboot screen, but when I run windows and restart I wont get the dualboot screen again | 10:12 |
| ga_sk8er | supaplex....u might have to do 3 partitions...on ur windows partitme room & install another ubuntu then that should redo the loader when it installs that. then u can go in & remove the new ubuntu on the smaller partition | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | supaplex: sounds like windows may have some av software or somthing thats overrideing the mbr with a diffderfnt one.. | 10:13 |

I tried to set the ip address manually, but the computer still can't ping it (destination not reachable). What can I do? | 10:25 |

| ga_sk8er | i got wine installed through software center then i installed the windows version of steam but when i enter my login info & click to login, it kinda hangs | 10:30 |
| k1l_ | ga_sk8er: for wine support with the windows programs and the different wine versions see the wine appdb and the wine support | 10:32 |
| k1l_ | !wine | ga_sk8er | 10:32 |

| dr_willis | the linux steam client - only has the linux native games.. wine/steam ive found cant play all games. and only some will work. | 10:32 |
| sharkk | join #gnuplot | 10:32 |
| sharkk | ups | 10:32 |
| dr_willis | be GREAT if the linux steam client could use wine for some games | 10:33 |
| Tex_Nick | ga_sk8er: my personal experience with wijne is that it sometimes only provides marginal functionallity ... and steam is so new to linux that you might encounter multiple problems | 10:34 |
| ga_sk8er | im encountering problems now...dont hurt to try | 10:38 |
| supaplex | Is there anyway I can stop windows to stop overwritting my grub boot loader? | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | figre out what in windows id doing it.. and disable it.. | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | could be AV software. could actually be a MBR virus in windows for all wee know. | 10:39 |
| dr_willis | I recall some bios's have a MBR protection feature. but that dosent seem to be the case for you | 10:40 |
| Tex_Nick | ga_sk8er: yeah , i wasn't trying to be critical ... it's people like you that will make it better by using and sharing your experience ;-) | 10:40 |

| AppleJuice | supaplex, As a alternative to dr_jesus solution, you could disable writing to the boot loader if your bios supports it. | 10:41 |

| ga_sk8er | idk what i did but when i was in the folder i right clicked & it suddenly closed out & i cant access my ubuntu desktop in top corner | 10:45 |
| ga_sk8er | my icons on desktop are suddenly gone too | 10:46 |
| dr_willis | You broke the internet. ;) | 10:46 |
| superdo | i never chose "install alongside Windows" option, what it does? | 10:47 |
| AtuM | I guess this is still true: "kernel has a maximum lenght for process names that appears to be 15" this means that "start-stop-daemon" fails when tring to stop a deamon called "ocfs2_clusterd.cman" - but that's what appears to run when one calls "service o2cb stop" - what can I do to fix this? | 10:47 |
| dr_willis | superdo: thats a wubi install.. avoid wubi. | 10:47 |

| zelo | i want to find some files with log extensions and echo empty value to overwrite them. AFAIK something like """ find ./ -name "*.log" -exec echo "" > {} \; """ should work but im sure im making some stupid error here. Can someone help me with that? | 10:50 |
| StrassenJunge | Hey, I was wondering if you could help me, I am trying to installl Ubuntu via USB and im using Universal USB Installer. | 10:50 |
| XtremeWiz | StrassenJunge: What error do you get? | 10:50 |
| abhinavmehta | is ubuntu is based on BSD-unix?? | 10:50 |
| StrassenJunge | Everytime I use it I get these error messages "" | 10:51 |
| StrassenJunge | Well | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | abhinavmehta: bsd is not linux. | 10:51 |
| DJones | abhinavmehta: No, its based on Debian | 10:51 |
| StrassenJunge | I cant copy and paste but | 10:51 |
| StrassenJunge | There is these 10 files that it says are "broken" | 10:51 |
| StrassenJunge | Holy Schmolly! | 10:51 |
| abhinavmehta | dr_jesus, DJones ohh..k thnaks | 10:51 |
| StrassenJunge | Now there is 170 of them | 10:51 |
| leotr | hello! i need someone who has experience in creation of custom installation CDs (add packages that i want, install them during installation, add some additional directory to disk and perform postinstallation script from CD). I want CD to be self-contained (so i don't need internet connection for installation). I want to understand how installer works. I don't want to use some gui tookits for it. | 10:52 |
| leotr | Has anybody such experience and maybe we could talk about it in private conversation. How much would that cost? | 10:52 |
| StrassenJunge | An example would be | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | !remaster | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

| Myrtti | leotr: we are all volunteers here | 10:54 |
| StrassenJunge | Anybody have any idea what these errors could mean? I cant help but think that this would interfere when i try to install if all these files are "broken" | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | whats saying they are broken exactly? | 10:55 |
| Sebzzz | fail | 10:56 |
| StrassenJunge | There is about 178 of these such messages and they are about all the files that it is trying to put onto my usb | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | StrassenJunge: could be the iso image file is bad. you did check its md5sum? | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | the pendrivelinux site has tools that can put the iso on the flash and boot that via grub2 also. or you can image the iso to usb other ways. | 10:57 |
| StrassenJunge | Erm. I am quite a newbie, but I am also eager to learn, how do I check the md5sum? | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | !md5sum | 10:57 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | I Think some of the tools at the pendrivelinux site can download and check the sums also.. ive not used them in some time | 10:57 |
| StrassenJunge | Alright well I'll do this and report back. Thanks for the help | 10:58 |
| leotr | Myrtti: okay, but if one needs specific help, why not being paid for that? I need some detailed explanation for some parts of InstallCDCustomization, but it's more that 2-3 questions. | 10:58 |

| johnnydepp39 | So, I tried to install Ubuntu on my PC this morning, and this is what popped up: http://i.imgur.com/LNeEEkR.jpg -- any ideas? | 11:05 |
| StrassenJunge | Well it says the Checksums are different. Does this mean my iso isnt good? | 11:07 |
| dayWalker51288 | maybe | 11:07 |
| Tex_Nick | StrassenJunge: yep ... if checksums don't match ... means there is file corruption | 11:08 |
| StrassenJunge | So I just redownload it and try again? | 11:09 |
| XtremeWiz | StrassenJunge: yep | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | or use the torrents | 11:09 |
| === J22 is now known as guest4298 | ||
| Tex_Nick | StrassenJunge: see what dr_willis posted ... torrents might be faster | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | a torrent should also verify the data | 11:11 |
| dr_willis | you could even point the torrent to the .iso file and it might fix it. ;) | 11:12 |
| StrassenJunge | alrighty | 11:12 |
| Tex_Nick | dr_willis : that's an interesting concept ;) | 11:12 |

| ubottu | megha: SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor | 11:16 |
| mvt007geek | is anyone familiar with iozone?it's a testing tool | 11:17 |
| megha | :) | 11:17 |
| StrassenJunge | Well the torrents are excruciatingly slow | 11:17 |
| dr_willis | if you point it to the iso you allready have downloaded.. it should be able to verify/check and only download thebad parts | 11:18 |
| StrassenJunge | Really? Will do then. | 11:19 |
| StrassenJunge | Thats quite interesting | 11:19 |

| shadowshell | hi all, this question isn't ubuntu specific but is related. | 11:21 |
| Tex_Nick | StrassenJunge: an after-thought here ... you did use the same checksum hash on your file that the server you downloaded from used ? ie: md5 or sha ... etc ? | 11:21 |
| StrassenJunge | Well it says it will still take 30 minutes | 11:21 |
| megha | is there anything like sandbox present on ubuntu ? | 11:21 |
| StrassenJunge | Yes I did | 11:22 |
| shadowshell | I recently watched a screencast that was recorded directly to a service that ended in a .io domain. Anyone know the name of this service? Its like shelr.tv, but not it. | 11:22 |

| shadowshell | megha: you mean like chroot? | 11:22 |
| megha | shadowshell: ya kind off.. | 11:22 |
| shadowshell | megha: there is something that is part of the deb package building toolchain | 11:23 |
| shadowshell | megha: can't recall name | 11:23 |
| shadowshell | megha: its used to build packages in a clean sandbox env without hurting the installed system | 11:24 |
| shadowshell | The screencast service I mentioned, I meant that it recored a terminal session | 11:24 |
| shadowshell | so it was like a terminal session screencast like shelr.tv, but another service. anyone heard of this? ends in .io domain? | 11:25 |

| dr_willis | well 12.10 needs a DVD.. 12.04 can use a cd | 13:49 |
| wonki | dr_willis: theres a POSIX programmers manual page for it, but you're right, it is a built in command | 13:49 |
| dr_willis | wonki: :) had issues with builtin vs a normal command the other day for a guy in here is why i rembered that. | 13:50 |
| Kralle | i have downloaded 12.10 | 13:50 |
| usr13 | Kralle: CD or USB | 13:50 |
| dr_willis | you can make a bootable usb flash with a persistant save file. if you want to test ubuntu out Kralle - which is handy. | 13:50 |
| driotinto | dr_willis: thank you. I see loads of information on Ubuntu for Phone but not much on Ubuntu for Android. I don't want to get rid of my Android OS on the mobile (yet) but would love to have the capability to transform it in a Ubuntu running computer. | 13:50 |
| tarelerulz | dr_willis: Just one shows up. | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | driotinto: 'for android' as in a vm/chroot thing? theres several on the android market. | 13:51 |
| Kralle | Can i burn it on DVD ? | 13:51 |
| Kralle | i dont have a CD | 13:51 |
| fuad | why is it running slower under bumblebee >usr13 any ideas? | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | Kralle: we said 12.10 NEEDS a dvd | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | or like a 2+gb USB flash. | 13:51 |
| usr13 | Kralle: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-desktop-latest | 13:52 |
| driotinto | dr_willis: As in they show in the website: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android | 13:52 |
| k1l_ | driotinto: why are you refusing to join the phone channel where the specialists sit? | 13:52 |
| Kralle | ok | 13:52 |
| Kralle | so i burn 12.10 to DVD? | 13:52 |
| Kralle | a do what after? | 13:52 |
| Kralle | i have burn it | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | driotinto: thats running natively on the phone.. Not in a vm/chroot - so its differnt then the ubuntu on android things you see in the market place. | 13:52 |
| driotinto | K1l_ Oh, I didn´t know! Sorry, I´lll move on there. Thanks! | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | Kralle: you boot it. ;) | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | that was a fast burn. | 13:53 |
| driotinto | dr_willis: Yes, not VM. Is running natively but alongside Android, not substituting ir. | 13:53 |
| driotinto | dr_willis: Thanks for the help, I will join the Phone channel to see if I can get more info. | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | driotinto: i will belive in it - when i actaully see it being done. ;) ive seen to many dead promises about android devices lately. | 13:53 |
| Burritoh | Kralle: you can insert the DVD into your DVD drive, and then restart your computer. Many times the computer would boot from the DVD by default. But if it does not, you might have to change your computer's Setup (BIOS) settings so that it can boot from the DVD drive. | 13:54 |
| Kralle | Ok | 13:54 |
| Kralle | I find a DVD now | 13:54 |
| Kralle | and burn it | 13:54 |
| Burritoh | Kralle: and then select "try out Ubuntu" or similar... and you can come back here by finding the IRC chat client called X-chat :) | 13:54 |
| Burritoh | inside that environment | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | Kralle: if you put it on a USB flash. you can test it out and keep saved/changes.. without installing.. and Befor you install it onto your hard drive.. make backups of your system just in case | 13:55 |
| Kralle | I dont have usb flash | 13:56 |
| Burritoh | Kralle: also note that the DVD or USB would be slower than the real install (because the read and transfer time between those devices is slower than your hard drive) | 13:56 |
| Kralle | I found DVD now. | 13:56 |
| Burritoh | but after install to hard drive, it will be good | 13:56 |
| Kralle | Ok | 13:56 |
| Kralle | Now it burn. | 13:56 |

I have googled around and tried many solutions to this problem, but none of them have worked so far. Here are some of the solutions I've tried:The drive has no tangible switch or button.Formatting the drive won't work, even in command line, even "low level formatting", because the drive is (after all) write protected.Changing certain registry keys to 0 does | 15:22 |
| dr_willis | reinstalling to fix things - is a windows mindset | 15:22 |
| aPpYe | dr_willis, I was thinking that, but ti does not get pulled in as a dependency for any of the individually installed apps. At least none of the ones I have installed so far. I was thinking it might have something to do with the muon updater, but I am not sure. | 15:22 |
| dr_willis | yourimym1: see if you can dd to it and blank it. | 15:22 |

| yourimym1 | dr_willis: how is that can be performed | 15:23 |

| dr_willis | (and run the command as root of course) | 15:23 |
| Gordana | can somebody tell me if you can actually see me?? | 15:24 |
| aPpYe | yourimym1, that is a pretty standard behaviour for a worn out flash drive though. | 15:24 |

| dr_willis | flintser: i use 64bit on all my 64bit hardware. | 15:48 |
| dr_willis | most everything i have now a days is 64bit | 15:48 |
| schnoodles | So sudo chown josh:josh /media/partition ? Is there a way to do that through fstab so it is automatic ? | 15:48 |
| Touhou11 | flintser: 64-bit should be the default, unless you have a valid reason for 32-bit | 15:48 |
| dr_willis | schnoodles: once the file permissions/owner are set... they are set.. fstab does NOT override them | 15:48 |

| dr_willis | flintser: if you have No clue what 32 or 64bit mean.. they reccomend 32bit | 15:50 |
| Touhou11 | flintser: The Ubuntu site only recommends 32-bit because some people wouldn't know which architecture their CPU has | 15:50 |
| schnoodles | Do I chown the mount point at all? I just find it weird that I cannot interact with the mount at all unless its through sudo. | 15:50 |

| Kralle | but how can i do? | 16:49 |
| kaero | then reuse the cd/dvd, if you cannot, then you can run the ubuntu installer from within ubuntu itself | 16:49 |
| FloodBot1 | Kralle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:49 |
| theadmin | Kralle: Just go through the install process again and overwrite the previous install, there's a button for that. | 16:49 |

| theadmin | mojtaba: What's this "security feature"? | 16:50 |
| Kralle | How overwrite? | 16:50 |
| kaero | The ubuntu installer will detect your existing installation, it should give you an option. | 16:50 |
| theadmin | Kralle: I can't quite remember how the installer phrases it, but there's a reinstall button | 16:50 |
| mojtaba | theadmin: In windows you can put a password on it, which comes with the drive. It has a read-only partition for this purpose | 16:50 |
| theadmin | mojtaba: Ah, that'd be easy. Look up "TrueCrypt". | 16:51 |

| zefuros | antony: i wanted to select the same option but had doubts. In order to select install alongside windows mu the disk be split or have free space unformatted or the installer does it by itself? | 17:35 |

| ubottu | arrr: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 17:36 |
| antony | zefuros: when you select that it partitions your hard drive, so you can have windows on one partition and ubuntu on the other. | 17:36 |
| arrr | also doch | 17:37 |
| arrr | :D | 17:37 |
| zefuros | antony | 17:37 |
| zefuros | antony: so before selecting the option i leave my drive as one partitation with windows on it? | 17:37 |

| Orpheon | I'm having underrun problems with Alsa, and I saw that apparently that /proc/asound/card0/.../prealloc should have atleast a value of 128, while on mine it has only 64. This would also explain some clicking noise I get in certain applications. I can't find out how to set it though, as when alsa is running this file is write-protected, and even if I tell alsa to switch to another device, change it, and put alsa back, I still need to resta | 17:37 |
| Orpheon | rt it which involves rebooting, which of course resets the file to 64 | 17:37 |
| Orpheon | so my question: Where does alsa get this 64 from, and where could I change that value? | 17:38 |
| antony | zefuros: yes, but you dont need to parition the hard drive yourself ubuntu can do it for you, it will ask u how much space you wish to give each operating system and just split the hard drive between them. | 17:38 |
| zefuros | antony: nice thats usefull and when install is complete it will boot with brug or mbr? | 17:39 |
| PoolShark_ | is it possible to have both a 64bit and 32bit kernel available on an ubuntu installation, selectable at boot time? | 17:39 |
| === Catbuntu is now known as armiel | ||
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 17:39 |

| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| zefuros | antony: can i cchange that to mbr? i heard grub is very sensitive | 17:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: Most linux installers will allow you to "shrink" a well-defragged NTFS partition to create installation space, you can also do partition management before installing. | 17:40 |
| RZAFC1 | so does anyone know if; me having a ppc with lubuntu will cause any issues for downloading gcc? | 17:40 |
| Tex_Nick | zefuros: mbr & grub are totally different entities | 17:40 |
| antony | zefuros: i dont know. | 17:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: Installers have been designed to install multi-boot systems since the mid -90's. | 17:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | Tex_Nick: grub writes it's own mbr. | 17:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | Tex_Nick: zefuros is using EFI though, which is slightly different. | 17:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: Read the efi article again. Using mbr is what they mean by "legacy mode". | 17:42 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest65317 | ||
| RZAFC1 | so does anyone know if; me having a ppc with lubuntu will cause any issues for downloading gcc? | 17:42 |
| zefuros | jhutchins_wk yeah but when i had grub before i had issues cause it went missing many times and i dont fully trust it in case of a power cutoff | 17:42 |
| Kralle | hello | 17:42 |
| zefuros | mbr is more stable and more easy to restore | 17:42 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: You are on the leading edge here, so your installation is going to be a bit of an experiment. It can be smooth and easy, especially if you're familiar with OS boot systems, but it can be difficult if you don't know much about computers and don't follow the directions carefully. | 17:42 |
| rking | OK, first time seriously using Ubuntu. I have to make a spiffy dev env on 10.04, so I'll be using some form of bleeding edge software. If I want a rather new tmux and vim, is it likely I can use some backports for it? | 17:42 |
| Kralle | now i have installed ubuntu | 17:42 |
| Kralle | and it work. | 17:43 |
| Guest65317 | hello | 17:43 |
| Tex_Nick | jhutchins_wk: i was refering to ... <zefuros> antony: nice thats usefull and when install is complete it will boot with brug or mbr? ... trying to make sure that grub would not be confused with mbr ;-) | 17:43 |
| Kralle | but how to install mumble server? | 17:43 |
| Kralle | someone can help? | 17:43 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: If grub was "going missing", it was due to things you were doing to the system. It doesn't spontaneously disappear, and has been stable and reliable for decades. | 17:43 |
| === kelyeAW is now known as kelye | ||
| Kralle | Someone can help me with ubuntu. | 17:44 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: In particular, windows "system restore" procedures can wipe it and your installation. You should arrange a way to restore windows without using a factory restore program if you anticipate needing to do that. | 17:44 |
| Kralle | i need install mumble server . | 17:44 |
| Kralle | but how? | 17:44 |
| zefuros | jhutchins_wk its harsh to judge someone's skills from a text chat, i didnt done anything wrong i lost grub two times. 1 due a normal shutdown and 2 due a power cutoff | 17:44 |
| maikel | What can the problem be when my comp cant boot Ubuntu Secure mix, (efi compatible) created by live usb? | 17:45 |
| Kralle | To do it? | 17:45 |
| Kralle | anyone can help? | 17:45 |
| jhutchins_wk | zefuros: grubb is just as reliable as the windows bootloader if not more so. There are always things that you can do to mess it up, but it doesn't spontaneously disappear. | 17:46 |
| compdoc | maikel, what happens? | 17:46 |
| antony | i need some assistance now, was just wondering if there was a way to make windows 7 boot by default, after the 7 seconds or so? | 17:47 |
| RZAFC1 | So does anyone know if; me having a ppc with lubuntu will cause any issues for downloading gcc? | 17:47 |
| maikel | compdoc: comp dosent notice theres a bootable usb insterted | 17:48 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know how can I change the name of the volume? (NTFS, flash drive) | 17:48 |
| compdoc | maikel, so a bios issue. | 17:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | RZAFC1: What kind of issues were you worried about? | 17:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | maikel: Did you verify the image on the usb? | 17:48 |
| maikel | Verify ? | 17:49 |
| zefuros | antony: get grub configurator , you can configure the menu the appearance as well the default OS and wait seconds | 17:49 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know how can I change the name of the volume? (NTFS, flash drive) | 17:49 |
| rulezz | hi there | 17:49 |
| jhutchins_wk | !repeat | 17:49 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 17:49 |
| Martin-Dutchie | <mojtaba> Only by reformatting the drive you can select a name. | 17:49 |
| zefuros | antony: got that? | 17:50 |
| antony | zefuros: were do i get it? | 17:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | Martin-Dutchie: Nah, there are ways to rename drives without reformatting. It's just a string in the drive headers. | 17:50 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba: I'd have to look it up on Google, been to long since I did ntfs. | 17:50 |
| mojtaba | Martin_1: How come? In windows you can change the volume name easily!! | 17:50 |
| maikel | compdoc: yea probably... | 17:50 |
| rulezz | somebody here know a tool for ubuntu to create bootable USB | 17:51 |
| mojtaba | jhutchins_wk: Thanks, because I am pretty new to linux era. | 17:51 |
| mojtaba | :) | 17:51 |

| chaz68 | Any good ideas to keep my log file "lightdm.log" in "/var/log/upstart" from swelling up and hogging my whole hard drive? | 17:52 |
| antony | zefuros: yes pm it me. | 17:52 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba: install ntfsprogrs, use the ntfslabel program to show/change the label. | 17:53 |
| Orpheon | I'm having underrun problems with Alsa, and I saw that apparently that /proc/asound/card0/.../prealloc should have atleast a value of 128, while on mine it has only 64.

| Haris | what's the latest 64 bit server version of ubuntu ? | 17:54 |
| mojtaba | jhutchins_wk: Thanks | 17:54 |
| Haris | I'm confused. the download page says support for 12.10 will end in 18 months. And 12.04.2 LTS is .. current ? | 17:55 |
| Kralle | I have now installed mumble on ubuntu | 17:55 |
| Kralle | But how it works? | 17:55 |
| Kralle | Where can i see the ip adress and all? | 17:55 |
| mgolisch | Kralle: read its documentation? | 17:56 |
| Kralle | Where? | 17:56 |
| RZAFC1 | jhutchins_wk: issues like whether it will compile | 17:57 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: LTS releases are supported for 5 years, whereas the normal releases (12.10) are only supported for 1,5 years. | 17:57 |
| MonkeyDust | Kralle why did you install it, if you don't know what it is? | 17:57 |
| Haris | ok | 17:57 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: It's weird at first, but that is just how that cookie crumbles. | 17:58 |
| Haris | Martin-Dutchie: do the LTS release get updates during that period ? | 17:58 |
| Kralle | Where? | 17:58 |
| Kralle | Where can i find that? | 17:58 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: Only security bugfixes and such I believe, no new functionality | 17:59 |
| mgolisch | sure everything else would be crazy | 17:59 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: This to keep that release as predictable as possible, instead of having to relearn your server every 6 months | 17:59 |
| Haris | meaning no upgrades to php or httpd or such ? | 17:59 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: not sure, but you can always install them manually | 18:00 |
| Haris | don't we have conflicts with libs or lib packages or some such on ubuntu with manual installs ? | 18:00 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: Which is the best course of action anyway, imagine your server auto-updating and bricking your website | 18:01 |
| Haris | I'v seen alot of that on centos | 18:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | RZAFC1: Shouldn't be any problems. gcc should come pre-compiled anyway. | 18:01 |
| Tex_Nick | Kralle: in terminal, have you tried info mumble or man mumble ? | 18:02 |
| odce | have a sound output issue with an Intel onboard audio device, listed as 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02). The front output works great and use it with alsa audio output just fine, but my computer case has an extra headphone jack in the front that is plugged into the soundcard module (motherboard item as I mentioned) and I have no clue whether it shows up as a rear device or something different. Tried all the usual outputs fr | 18:02 |
| inhabitant | sexnet.org | 18:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | Haris: You can avoid conflicts and problems by building and installing a .deb package. | 18:03 |
| Martin-Dutchie | Haris: As long as you install the new packages through apt, you should not be experiencing conflicts, I found an example article about upgrading PHP on 8.04: http://www.simmonsconsulting.com/2009/03/08/howto-upgrade-ubuntu-lts-804-server-to-php-528/ | 18:03 |
| jhutchins_wk | odce: Sometimes those are physically switched outputs - it's the same circuit as the speakers, but bypasses them if it's plugged in. | 18:04 |
| odce | anyone know if I should see a device 1 listed (instead of device 0) to somehow output to it. there was only one place to plug in that extra set of jacks (which includes things like headphone out, mic in, and usb firewire.) so I assume its connected to the intel sound unit ok. my other issue was whether I needed to find a front rear or surround audio file to test it. | 18:04 |
| odce | ok great i will try to unplug one of them then. | 18:04 |

| jhutchins_wk | SolarisBoy: .bashrc | 18:27 |

| jhutchins_wk | Dang tab. | 18:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: .bashrc | 18:28 |
| maikel | Tex_Nick: trying to boot super grub disk to be able to do partition, but the main intention is to get ubuntu on my win 8 pc yea. | 18:28 |

| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: Find where it's being set. | 18:29 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: Yes. The bashrc file is read everytime you start a terminal session | 18:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | ruinen: Generally lxde is "lighter". | 18:29 |
| SimpleUser | No more space in / . I launched a big install in apt-get and it crushed during it. So i erased /tmp, made clean & autoclean (apt-get). But now apt-get tells me the system is broken and i have to make -f install... and install the big program (a game). But i still don't have 350 mo to install it. | 18:29 |
| SimpleUser | Any advice ? | 18:30 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: So it will be reset back to "ape" everytime you start a new session. | 18:30 |
| eutheria | ruinen, how slow is your laptop? | 18:30 |
| Soelen | Odd-rationale: what am I going to do then? | 18:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | SimpleUser: Try purging the program. | 18:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: Find where it's getting set to ape and change that. | 18:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: It isn't preserved in memory somewhere, it's in a conf file. | 18:31 |
| Tex_Nick | maikel: ahh ok ... that provides a lot more info ... i don't use win 8 ... but now other people here have a better idea of what your issue is | 18:31 |
| Soelen | jhutchins_wk: I dont understand what you mean | 18:31 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: /etc/bashrc and ~/.bashrc are a couple of possiblities. | 18:31 |
| maikel | yea, when i do a Live usb ubuntu disk there is no "efi" folder, and therefor i cant boot it | 18:31 |
| KylieBrooks | hi, um | 18:31 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: Can you just change it to "grape" in the ~/.bashrc? | 18:31 |
| maikel | anyone know what to do, or what to add? | 18:31 |
| KylieBrooks | i would like to reduce memory consumption of ubuntu. | 18:32 |
| Soelen | Odd-rationale: I would like to do that via command instead editing the file all the time | 18:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | I guess it's /etc/bash.bashrc these days... | 18:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: Since each new sessions environment is created at login, editing a file is the only way to preserve it for the NEXT session. | 18:33 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: So you have a situation where sometimes you need it "ape" and sometime you need it "grape" ? | 18:33 |
| Soelen | Odd-rationale: it's just an example | 18:33 |
| === armiel is now known as Camel` | ||
| KylieBrooks | i would like to reduce memory consumption of ubuntu. tips please? | 18:33 |
| Soelen | jhutchins_wk: is there a possibility to save a variable into a file and restore it in every session? | 18:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: If you always need it to be "grape", then just set that in the .bashrc | 18:34 |
| Soelen | Odd-rationale: I dont always need it | 18:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: Then you can wrap the export line in an if statement. | 18:34 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: .bashrc and .bash_profile | 18:34 |
| Tex_Nick | maikel: i see a few people here that might be able to help you ... they might be tied up now ... be patient ask your question every 5 minutes or so ... you'll probably get some help with that | 18:35 |
| Soelen | Odd-rationale: why if stement? | 18:35 |
| Soelen | statement | 18:35 |
| Soelen | jhutchins_wk: what are you trying to tell me? I need the variable to be stored and to be reseted each session | 18:36 |
| Odd-rationale | Soelen: Then the var will only equal "grape" when the if statement is true. | 18:36 |
| SimpleUser | jhutchins_wk, can't purge it. Apt-get tells me i have to make apt-get -f install and install it | 18:37 |

| Odd-rationale | Soelen: Sorry, I guess I don't quite understand your issue then... | 18:37 |
| jhutchins_wk | Soelen: I don't know how to be any plainer. I suggest you read some bash documentation: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/chap_03.html | 18:37 |

| VonGuard | and all i can see when i mount the ubuntu partition is the stuff you'd see in windows: the ubuntu installer and such | 18:40 |

| jhutchins_wk | VonGuard: Sounds like you're booting the installer. fdisk -l should show partitions, then you can mount the partition with /etc on it. | 18:48 |

| TuxBlackEdo | MonkeyDust, well, technically this is backtrack-linux | 19:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TuxBlackEdo: You're welcome. Check out MonkeyDust's comment above, though. | 19:37 |

| chalcedony | brightknight, can you be a little more specific, please? | 19:40 |
| DX099 | DJones, yes, I've already downloaded them with evolution on another install | 19:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TuxBlackEdo: maybe #backtrack-linux might have some ideas. | 19:40 |
| TuxBlackEdo | oh... ok... no one barely talks in there, and when i ask a question, i idle there for about 3 days with no response | 19:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TuxBlackEdo: Although you might tell me what kind of errors apt-get gave you. | 19:41 |
| TuxBlackEdo | apt-get returns a error code 245 on gnome-applets | 19:42 |
| brightknight | chalcedony: then check the smart status and see how many unreadable sectors there are and find a utility to locate them and see if they are in those files if the drive is failing you need an expert turn the computer off and see an expert | 19:42 |
| chalcedony | brightknight, thank you very much | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | TuxBlackEdo don't forget to mention it's backtrack | 19:42 |

| TuxBlackEdo | SonikkuAmerica, "subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 245" | 19:43 |
| brightknight | chalcedony: i say turn it off because the more the drive is used the more damage that may be done | 19:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | TuxBlackEdo: Thought so, check your PMs. | 19:43 |
| k1l | TuxBlackEdo: that is backtrack specific since backtrack changes thinks like the root account and such. so ask them (maybe in forums or mailinglists if the channel is no active enough), they know what they changed and what should work | 19:43 |

| ThinkT510 | Pagos: you can only modify partitions when they are unmounted | 19:48 |

| bean | Pagos he's trying to use POP to download his mail from hotmail, in thunderbird. | 19:49 |
| Pagos | Oh, okay | 19:49 |
| bean | DX099: pop messages are only downloaded once, usually. | 19:50 |
| Pagos | So there's no way to shrink an ext3 partition unless i unmount it? | 19:50 |
| wN | Pagos: right | 19:50 |
| wN | Pagos: well, ext3 file-system. | 19:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Pagos or any other kind of partition | 19:51 |
| Pagos | Weird, windows can shrink active partition, I wonder why I can't on Linux | 19:51 |
| wN | you could always cut the end off of your partition :D | 19:51 |
| DX099 | Pagos, yes. You have to unmount it. And then you can use gparted. | 19:51 |
| ejv | perhaps because NTFS != $GNU/LINUX_FS | 19:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Pagos or use windows, if that suits you more | 19:51 |
| Pagos | Nah, I don't like windows at all | 19:52 |
| ejv | also not all filesystems were created equal, for example, xfs only supports filesystem growth operations, not shrinkage. good luck. | 19:52 |
| dreambox | ThinkT510: thanks, I already generated a general Xorg file ... doesn't work | 19:52 |
| DX099 | Pagos, why can't you afford a few 15 mins to do your operations ? | 19:53 |

| DX099 | Pagos, no USB drive huh ? Mmh an extreme solution would be booting off network. | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | Pagos: You can configure grub2 to loop boot an iso file, and pass that live system the "toram" kernel parameter, but it's a little complicated and in the (unlikely) event that there is a problem (for instance, losing power during the resize) you will be stuck without any bootable media. | 19:57 |

| Pagos | Jordan_U, well what I am trying to do is make a partition and dd the contents of the 12.04 install iso to it and then boot into that to install 12.04 over my current 6.06 install. But this is a little too complicated | 19:58 |
| bean | DX099: most people would tell you to just use IMAP for your problem btw, but I don't think hotmail supports imap | 19:58 |
| Pagos | At this point I'm considering walking to the drug store and paying $10 for some CDs | 19:58 |

| Guest34564 | hello , it is possible to connect to an ubuntu server via remote desktop , from win7 ? | 20:00 |
| Pagos | DX099, I do have a usb drive and a few ports, but I can only boot from IBM drives as far as I know | 20:00 |
| ejv | i would just backup your home dir, and anything else that's critical to $STORAGE; then completely re-install | 20:01 |
| Jordan_U | Pagos: You can relatively easily and reliably boot a netboot install image, but really I think you want to just walk to the drug store. | 20:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest34564 yes, with putty | 20:01 |
| DJones | DX099: I guess another solution could be to set hotmail to forward all incoming emails to a gmail (or similar) account, and configure that account in thunderbird so that the reply to address was the hotmail one, you'd get imap via the gmail account then | 20:01 |
| Guest34564 | thank you , monkeydust | 20:01 |

| bean | DX099: there may be some setting on either your hotmail or gmail to download all, pop often deletes emails once they're downloaded though, and I don't know enough about your configuration | 20:03 |
| === ident is now known as Guest65633 | ||
| AcidRain2013 | DJones: but you can install a gui on ubuntu server right? | 20:03 |
| DX099 | DJones, yes maybe I'll do that. But POP3 has an option for redownloading ALL messsages so I wondered why Thunderbird didn't have it. | 20:03 |
| Jordan_U | Pagos: In short, download the netboot kernel and initrd and add an entry to Ubuntu 6.06's grub legacy to load that kernel and initrd. For detailed instructions you'll have to wait until after I eat lunch :) | 20:04 |

| Akiva-Desktop | bean why not 1? | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | Pagos: Also remember that without any other bootable media, if installation fails for any reason you're up the creek. | 20:05 |
| bean | Akiva-Desktop: because there are three. | 20:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest34564 keep it in the channel please | 20:05 |
| Guest34564 | ok | 20:06 |
| Akiva-Desktop | bean: why 3 and not 1? | 20:06 |

| ejv | Pagos: I think you're confused on what PAE offers. It's a feature that allows 32bit processors to address space outside of the 4GB range; therefore if you're using *any* x86 based chip you could (technically speaking) roll a PAE-enabled kernel. | 20:29 |

| bartzy | Hey | 20:37 |
| Pagos | Does anyone know how to back up an ubuntu install into the ibm thinkpad predesktop area? | 20:38 |
| bartzy | Why hostname completion with tab for ssh (i.e. ssh some-ma<TAB>, completes to some-machine) - is taking 1 sec to do ? :| | 20:38 |
| krnxrat | thank oyu | 20:38 |
| ejv | bartzy: high load on the system? who knows without more information on your environment. | 20:39 |
| MonkeyDust | !details | bartzy | 20:39 |
| ubottu | bartzy: 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 ..." | 20:39 |
| bartzy | No load, ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, modern machine (SSD blah blah) ... | 20:40 |
| bartzy | It just takes like 1.5 sec to complete. It's of course not horrible, just annoying, cause it only needs to look at /etc/hosts, I think ? | 20:40 |
| DX099 | pagos, what do you mean "predesktop area" ? you mean backup fro | 20:41 |
| DX099 | m CLI ? | 20:41 |
| krnxrat | wait, but as a WUBI install, doesn;t my ubuntu use the windows booter? | 20:41 |
| ejv | bartzy: you could try another shell and benchmark | 20:42 |
| ejv | bartzy: zsh for example | 20:42 |
| ejv | you'll thank me later | 20:42 |

| sanguisdex | so I just came back to ubuntu for a work station, and when I go to start nginx I get the message that port 80 is already taken on a pretty vanilla install, what is gvfsd-http and how do I keep it away from port 80? | 20:43 |
| ejv | i was suggesting that zsh's completion implementation might be more efficient. | 20:43 |
| psichas | lubuntu-desktop it is just lxde lubuntu much more | 20:44 |
| hmsck | what is more friendly for hardware...lubuntu or lubuntu desktop? | 20:44 |

| Pagos | hmsck, what kind of hardware? | 20:46 |
| hmsck | laptop | 20:46 |
| DX099 | hmsck, basically lubuntu-desktop should install every possible thing that makes lubuntu lubuntu. | 20:46 |
| Pagos | hmsck, uhm... what kind of laptop? | 20:46 |
| DX099 | but you're still doubting, doing a clean install of lubuntu won't hurt. | 20:46 |

| Pagos | hmsck, actually there are some problems with thinkpad fans, if you are looking to reduce that noise try getting a FRU fan from lenovo. But if you are looking for something that will make it run cooler then lubuntu is a good choice | 20:48 |
| llutz | hmsck: have you tried using tlp, thinkfan or tpfanco to get the fan less noisy? | 20:49 |

| Pagos | I agree with Ben64, it's not an issue really | 21:01 |
| bartzy | thanks | 21:01 |
| qubit | Ben64: unless I'm doing complex things like ensuring that servers sitting behind a load balancer aren't accessable until the boot process is fully complete and the firewall restrictions are removed | 21:01 |

| ajp | trism: I'm trying to get my upstart script (http://pastebin.com/xjACPjk4) to work, it launches this script (http://pastebin.com/zUjJ9G8c) but when I reboot the server (12.04 headless) the script does not work. I had it working a few weeks ago. | 22:22 |
| tjbiddle | ajp: Ensure it's executable and owned by root. Also add /bin/bash in front of the command - Although you may have a shebang, I'd still do it for debugging purposes. | 22:25 |
| ares_ | Maybe someone can help me with sound? :[ | 22:25 |
| tjbiddle | Guys, setting up an NTP server. I have it running it on one machine, and another machine using that one as it's ntp server. Looks like it is receiving an offset + jitter, but has yet to update itself. iburst is set. Is there a way to force it to sync so I know it's working? | 22:26 |
| tjbiddle | Nevermind - Looks like it just went through. | 22:26 |
| ajp | trism tjbiddle: well the initctl reload-configuration worked and now it's up after reboot | 22:26 |

| bean | tjbiddle: yep, you have to wait *a bit* before it'll actually sync. | 22:27 |
| ajp | tjbiddle: nope, but good suggestion none the less | 22:27 |

| abcdeef | i dont understand, please help | 22:36 |
| BluesKaj | OerHeks, do you have the regional code set in the dvd | 22:36 |

| escott | nahata, ldconfig deferred just means that it deferred ldconfig until after all packages are installed | 22:58 |
| escott | nahata, ie you "sudo apt-get install A B C | 22:59 |

| poolssen | hi every one | 23:28 |
| DoctorDoom | Hello.. Where is located the update software manager on kubuntu? | 23:29 |
| DoctorDoom | OerHeks: Thank you. | 23:30 |
| mumbles | somsip: nope | 23:30 |
| mumbles | this kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu pae | 23:31 |
| escott | !pae | mumbles | 23:31 |
| ubottu | mumbles: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 23:31 |
| Ben64 | should change that factoid | 23:31 |
| escott | mumbles, you will have to get a non-PAE kernel if you want to run 12.10 | 23:31 |
| escott | yeah i think they are keeping it that way because 12.04 doesn't require PAE | 23:31 |
| escott | at least the link is correct | 23:31 |
| shwaiil | http://askubuntu.com/questions/257972/user-session-lost-device-settings-or-drivers-while-guest-working-fine | 23:32 |
| escott | shwaiil, your harddrive may be failing | 23:32 |
| shwaiil | escott: thanks for looking. but some how I switch to guest and it works fine | 23:33 |
| escott | shwaiil, you should boot the liveCD/liveUSB and run fsck as well as check the smart status | 23:33 |
| escott | shwaiil, guest is working because files in the users $HOME were corrupted. there may be other corruption on the system | 23:33 |
| shwaiil | escott: fsck can help fix it ? | 23:33 |
| mumbles | goes to try again . | 23:33 |
| escott | shwaiil, fsck attempts to repair corruption, but if the cause of the corruption is a hardware failure you need to buy new hardware | 23:34 |
| ImEunify | trying to put backtrack or ubuntu on a mac is hard since it wont boot my usb!!!! | 23:34 |
| === james is now known as Guest57306 | ||
| shwaiil | escott: this computer is 3 months old :Z | 23:35 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: is it a newer mac? | 23:35 |
| escott | shwaiil, so you should be identifying the cause with the disk utility | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | escott ..Xauthority issue ? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2095895.html | 23:35 |
| ImEunify | no its a mid june 09 i believe | 23:35 |
| shwaiil | win7 worked fine, guest session under ubuntu :( | 23:35 |
| Guest57306 | hey guys don't know if any know this but on both intel and amd machines steam client from steam broke my x stack on ubuntu 12.04.2 | 23:35 |
| escott | shwaiil, and nothing new ever breaks | 23:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | escott, shwaiil sudo shutdown -Fr now | 23:35 |
| jhutchins_wk | Will reboot & fsck. | 23:35 |
| shwaiil | escott: Ill run the fsck | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | seen that .Xauthority bug a lot lately | 23:35 |
| wiggmpk | shwaiil: 10% of hard drives fail from the factory.. date of purchases doesnt guarantee it will continually work. hard drives are volatile.. moving parts and all. | 23:36 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: oh ok , no need for live cd ? | 23:36 |
| Guest57306 | had to do a reinstall of x stack to get back to descktop | 23:36 |
| ImEunify | i tried refit uefi and it wont boot. | 23:36 |
| escott | shwaiil, and check the smart status | 23:36 |
| shwaiil | ok ok I-ll brb thanks guys | 23:36 |
| shwaiil | i'll run sudo shutdown -Fr, do I need the live cd ? | 23:36 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: not sure if Mac's from 09 were using refit yet.. have you tried installing via CD? | 23:37 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk my dvd drive wont read disk its all messed up thats why i have to use a usb and boot it up and then install it to a mac partion that i made in diskutil | 23:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | shwaiil: No, that's the advantage. | 23:38 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: ok cool run it now | 23:38 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: are you sure your creating the LiveUSB correctly? | 23:39 |
| escott | OerHeks, the Xauthority thing isnt a bug, its user error. but in this case he directly indicates filesystem corruption so he needs to start there. no point fixing login if the disk is toast | 23:39 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk is there like a special way to make it so it can boot on a mac? | 23:39 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: oh I have no idea.. I wouldn't think so (as long as your using an image fixed for installing on a MAC) | 23:40 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk image fix? | 23:40 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: but you just can copy/paste the iso onto a USB flash drive and expect it to work | 23:40 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: gimme a sec, lemme find you a link | 23:40 |
| holako | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAldzcyqtMY | 23:41 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk thank you :) | 23:41 |
| holako | you will see it again I am sure | 23:41 |
| Ben64 | but you just *can't* copy/paste the iso onto a USB flash drive and expect it to work | 23:41 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: the command its not working, sudo shutdown -Fr | 23:42 |
| wiggmpk | Ben64: thanks ben.. fat fingered that one | 23:42 |
| shwaiil | Try `shutdown --help' for more information. | 23:42 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: what version of Ubuntu are you looking for? | 23:42 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk i was going to use either ubuntu 12 the newest one | 23:43 |
| Praxi | I added a second disk to my computer, and I'm not sure its mounted. I did a df -h but I don't see the right size in there, what other command line tool can I use to see if I have the disk attached? | 23:43 |
| Praxi | This is on ubuntu server 12.04 x64 | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | sudo fdisk -l | 23:43 |
| escott | Ben64, stop using fdisk | 23:43 |
| Ben64 | never | 23:43 |
| escott | Praxi, cat /proc/partitions | 23:43 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: cant find a link for 12.10, but look at this http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/precise/release/ | 23:43 |
| escott | Ben64, in that case don't ever purchase another computer again | 23:44 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: notice the Desktop CD says 64-bit Mac... "This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems." | 23:44 |
| braaaains | so... for anybody having trouble with install from usb try the latest ubuntu 12.10, 12.04 doesn't work for some reason | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | i've never purchased a computer | 23:44 |
| Praxi | ahh thanks Ben I see the drive there | 23:44 |
| Praxi | and in cat /proc/partitions | 23:45 |
| yomi | Hello. | 23:45 |
| Praxi | thanks escott | 23:45 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk thanks for the link ill give it a try :) and get back to you to see if it worked or not. last time i made a linux liveusb and try to boot it up my mac kept giving me a non-system file press any button to reboot. | 23:45 |
| yomi | What's the default setting for ubuntu's kernel preemption model? | 23:45 |
| Guest57306 | I did 2 installs from 12.04 usb install on intel and amd machines all went fine | 23:45 |
| braaaains | weird, kept telling me the cd rom could not be initialized... perhaps because I was using the server install ? | 23:46 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: are u still around there the shutdown -Fr is not working | 23:46 |
| Guest57306 | steam messed up my xstack but still running from those installs now | 23:46 |
| kubotsu | so, can't i just start seeding from an existing .iso or i have to start with a new torrent download ...? | 23:46 |
| wiggmpk | ImEunify: good luck, I'm not familiar with how to make a bootable USB drive in Mac =/ wish I could help ya out | 23:46 |
| Praxi | is the cat /proc/partitions exlusive to ubuntu? | 23:46 |
| escott | yomi, voluntary i believe "grep -i preempt /boot/config*" | 23:46 |
| escott | Praxi, no | 23:46 |
| Guest57306 | doesn't unetbootin have a mac version for making usb boot drive? | 23:47 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk im pretty sure ill figure it out :) and yes unetbootin works but they dont make it to boot with a mac | 23:47 |
| Praxi | k, is there a command to make the size from cat /proc/partitions more readable? | 23:47 |
| escott | shwaiil, you wont be able to issue that command from the guest account. and it doesn't matter as you can manually run it from the livecd anyways | 23:47 |
| shwaiil | escott: tks for looking! Im in the main acc | 23:48 |
| ImEunify | wiggmpk: im pretty sure ill figure it out and give it a try. :) | 23:48 |
| escott | Praxi, no. i believe its in blocks. alternately "sudo parted -l" will have various formatting options | 23:48 |
| braaaains | yes it does Guest57306, it's what I used to create my USB sticks actually | 23:49 |
| mattwj2002 | hi guys | 23:49 |
| mattwj2002 | what is up with the count down on your main website? | 23:49 |
| kubotsu | let me rephrase, do i have to re-download the .iso in order to seed? | 23:49 |
| escott | kubotsu, you have to have the iso in order to seed | 23:50 |
| wiggmpk | mattwj2002: is says "tablet time!" | 23:50 |
| wiggmpk | it* | 23:50 |
| mattwj2002 | ok | 23:50 |
| kubotsu | i have . i just dont see an option within Transmission to start seeding from it | 23:50 |
| Praxi | thanks escott | 23:50 |
| mattwj2002 | so new ubuntu tablet coming out? | 23:50 |
| mattwj2002 | what about the phone stuff? | 23:50 |
| billkd | I created a PPA, somehow broke it, and then deleted it with the intent to create a new one. But, it seems that after deletion I can't create a new PPA with the same name. How do I fix this? | 23:50 |
| escott | kubotsu, terminate transmission and drop the iso you do have into the folder where it is being downloaded | 23:51 |
| wiggmpk | billkd: explain how you "deleted" it | 23:51 |
| kubotsu | let me add that this is a previously downloaded .iso | 23:51 |
| billkd | wiggmpk: I clicked the "delete ppa" link on launchpad's ppa page. | 23:52 |
| Volta | hmm | 23:52 |
| wiggmpk | billkd: oh, I thought you meant on your system.. no idea with launchpad.. | 23:52 |
| kubotsu | and, i dont have the .torrent file i used to download it with | 23:52 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: you dont need .torrent files to seed torrents | 23:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | shwaiil: How "not working"? | 23:53 |
| k1l | !tablet | mattwj2002 | 23:53 |
| ubottu | mattwj2002: The Ubuntu tablet can be discussed in #ubuntu-tablet or #ubuntu-discuss, please remember that #ubuntu is for support only. | 23:53 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: .torrent files are just a way for your computer to communicate with the tracker to "find" the file on the internet | 23:53 |
| shwaiil | jhutchins_wk: tks for looking! through the command line, I get, shutdown: time expected | 23:53 |
| mattwj2002 | thanks k1l | 23:53 |
| shwaiil | sudo shutdown -Fr, this is the command, im in the main acc | 23:54 |
| wiggmpk | shwaiil: sudo shutdown -Fr now | 23:54 |
| kubotsu | wiggmpk: right, so.. how do i make transmission take my .iso and seed it | 23:54 |
| shwaiil | oh.. now | 23:54 |
| shwaiil | sorry | 23:54 |
| Ice_Strike | Should all the downloaded files go to /usr/src for compiling? | 23:54 |
| shwaiil | ok i-ll do it, brb tks guys | 23:54 |
| billkd | So what channel should I go into for Launchpad? | 23:54 |
| billkd | #launchpad or somewhere else? | 23:54 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: im not sure I understand your question | 23:55 |
| MAL0 | hi | 23:56 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: you open/download a .torrent file.. it gets added to Transmission or whatever torrent client you use.. you finish downloading the file.. leave it be and you will automatically be seeding the file.. if you remove it from the client.. you stop seeding.. if you pause the file.. you stop seeding | 23:56 |
| zZeus | Greetings Ubuntu redditors, quick question | 23:56 |
| zZeus | Windows is to ManyCam like Ubuntu is to ??? | 23:56 |
| MAL0 | ok, here is my problem, i want to up my wlan0 but it says, unknow error 132 | 23:56 |
| kubotsu | wiggmpk: that's exactly right, except i dont want to re-download the .iso; i already have it | 23:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | zZeus: You assume knowledge of windows. What is manycam? | 23:57 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: why? | 23:57 |
| kubotsu | wiggmpk: to save time | 23:57 |
| zZeus | jhutchins, an app that Flash recognizes, where I can set it to my desktop instead of my webcam | 23:57 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: how will re-downloading the same .iso file same time if you already have it? | 23:58 |
| jhutchins_wk | kubotsu: How you seed a new file is mostly up to your client, which has to notify the tracker. | 23:58 |
| wiggmpk | save* | 23:58 |
| kubotsu | jhutchins_wk: so, you know how transmission gets this done? | 23:58 |
| zZeus | I'm trying webcamStudio, wish me luck r/Ubuntu | 23:59 |
| wiggmpk | kubotsu: transmission works as I explained by default | 23:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | kubotsu: Not really. | 23:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | wiggmpk: you did not explain how to seed an existing file. | 23:59 |
