[00:37] hello guys... I have a question. I have developed my own program and upon installing it on Ubuntu (using gnome 3 but users reported the same happens with unity) my program doesn't show up in the list of programs until I refresh the gnome 3 interface or restart the computer [00:38] I know on other desktop environments like LXDE or XFCE the program appears immediately [00:38] what command do I have to run or what do I have to do to have it show up properly? [00:38] Bray90820 on my x220t there is a hotkey that can be used to toggle a script with acpid. So my tablet runs a script whenever i turn the screen. [00:38] the program installs in /usr/share/apps or something like that (following the DE standards) [00:41] In Firefox does anyone get a bug where popup menus (like the "bookmark" widget) don't appear if you navigate to a certain site?

[00:43] wolfgang42: [ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic ] [00:43] jrib: That's what I thought, but I upgraded the kernel and haven't rebooted yet, so I'm not sure which one to install.

[00:50] So, I'm confused about Zeigeist-FTS. It's installed, and the daemon is running, but the dash search does not seem to be looking into any index of file content [00:50] What do I need to do? [00:52] Bray90820 If i rotate my screen into tablet mode, my tablet "presses" a hotkey. First i had to figure out which key gets pressed. I don't remember which programm i used for that. But i think it was some evdev thing. After figuring out which key was pressed, i createt a event in /etc/acpi/events/thinkpad-rotate with following content: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572219/ Therefore the script in /etc/acpi/thinkpad-rotate.

Before I got that working i was using a script that contains an infinite loop an checks the state of tablet mode. That worked for me too, since there is a way to check the tablet mode. If I was in tablet mode "/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_tablet_mode" returned 1. So I executed this script at startup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572225/ [00:58] spdupee: edit your apt-sources.list to point to raring instead of quantal [00:58] spdupee: it's a lot of stuff to download and not exactly stable [00:59] see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082861 [00:59] OK, well, I reinstalled the currently running kernel.

What is the name of a unity desktop session - as in, do I add 'exec unity,' to ~/.xinitrc to make startx launch Unity? Thanks.

[02:10] kal-lel, was there a question there [02:10] !gnome2 | tripelb [02:10] tripelb, please see my private message [02:11] Hey I am back, what exactly is Xorg? [02:12] bigbadben, it is the X server. it is a key part of the graphical interface [02:13] escott: ?? [02:13] i have 12.04 and u want to use gnome2. How can I do that? [02:13] What does it mean when it crashes [02:13] I accidentally my ubuntu. I planned on dual booting opensuse 12.3. I resized the Ubuntu partition, which looked like it succeeded. After installing Opensuse I booted into Ubuntu and I got a "the system is running in low graphics mode error" crap. I am working on fixing it, but I would like to know what would cause this issue. Most likely corruption from the resize correct? [02:13] !nounity | tripelb [02:13] tripelb: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:13] bigbadben, if X crashes you will be logged out of the graphical interface and all your applications will crash [02:13] kal-lel, did you have a question or were you just commenting? [02:14] tdrusk: I'd say maybe your grub conf file didn't get the arguments right, from the Opensuse install [02:14] escott: Was a question, a comment... No one answer... No one care... You care.. Thank you... [02:15] kal-lel, no one will respond unless there is an actual question to respond to [02:15] tdrusk, I think running "sudo update-grub2" in a terminal, from your ubuntu install, and rebooting, should fix it [02:15] apwbdjp: Will that break my opensuse grub or just replace it with the Ubuntu one? [02:15] apwbdjp: great idea btw [02:15] kal-lel, its the difference between saying "i think this dress makes me look fat" and "does this dress make me look fat" [02:16] tdrusk, neither, that will just re-detect all installed OSes on the machine, and make the right grub.conf file for that [02:16] apwbdjp: sick. I will try that. Thanks :) [02:16] escott: preload works only to low ram... I got enough, I do not have too use it.. So, was a comment. Nice exemple.. look fat... Thank you escott. [02:17] **to [02:17] kal-lel, you seem to misunderstand the purpose of RAM [02:17] !atemyram | kal-lel [02:17] kal-lel: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [02:18] kal-lel, prelaod works well for slow disks, not for low ram [02:18] kal-lel, you need plenty of ram to load things before even using them [02:18] I really misunderstanded so..

[02:40] amicrawler2012: depends if it has "64" in the name [02:40] escott: no I tried to make it du al boot but it wouldn't work so I deleted the harddrive [02:40] partition* === ubuntu is now known as Guest20240 [02:40] b0ot, the permissions would be no different than if you were trying to cp to /var/www on the remote machine from that login account [02:41] kk0710, what tool did you use to delete the partition? [02:41] has anyone here had an experience upgrading from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10? Does stuff break? [02:41] escott: gpart [02:41] escott: gparted [02:42] ClientAlive, I did. Went fine. [02:42] kk0710, well if you arent dual booting windows you dont have to boot efi. so it may be easiest to switch to bios boot. if you do so you will have to make sure that the usb stick also does a bios boot [02:42] kk0710, did u say the fat32 was bootable [02:42] apwbdjp: and you did so using apt-get? <- is that even possible? Does it take a long time? [02:42] Does anyone know how to solve the problem I am facing with initramfs-tools not working anytime I use aptitude? [02:42] kk0710, some of these firmwares try to be smart and boot with efi where possible so even though the disks are set to bios they may boot a livecd in efi mode which confuses the installer [02:42] escott: how do I switch it though? I didn't tell it to do it it just did it on its own? [02:43] ClientAlive, I did that the usual way: sudo do-release-upgrade [02:43] kk0710, cause i think /boot is on ur ext4 partition shouldn't that be bootable then since fat32 is still empty [02:43] kk0710, its in the firmware. can't tell you what those options will look like [02:43] escott: are you saying its in the bios? [02:43] ClientAlive, most of it is downloads, so if you got a decent connexion it's fine [02:43] kk0710, what you are calling bios yes, but its not bios. it is efi [02:43] apwbdjp: right on. Suppose I'll give it a try. [02:43] escott: I dont udnerstand, WHERE do I go to change the option? [02:44] escott: I m not familiar with EFI [02:44] kk0710, i can't tell you. it is in your efi setup which varies by manufacturer [02:44] kk0710, u have some sort of recovery option in ur bios where it restores to factory default [02:44] lkjsfd\ [02:44] worst support channel ever [02:44] Gentoo is easier than Ubuntu [02:44] u mad bro [02:44] shit distro [02:44] alt0: feel free to leave [02:46] They actually believe we get paid for this?

Is there a way to upgrade then? [02:52] kk0710, that tricky beast [02:52] ClientAlive, if you REALLY wanna move to 12.10, I think I found a quick workaround, I'll google that for you [02:52] vincentS: im using a script to read some values but i want to do it for only a couple of lines [02:53] there is, but you could just wait for 14.04 and upgrade directly to that [02:53] I thought Ubuntu is doing away with LTS anyway [02:53] instead of doing 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04 [02:53] ClientAlive, just talks nothing big yet or set in stone [02:53] meaning what? Can I not fix this to boot ubuntu, if that is the case I would like to know so I can stop trying [02:53] I see [02:53] thans fellas (ladies/ genlemen) :) [02:53] cihhan, use grep with awk [02:54] ClientAlive, http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-12.04-lts-precise-pangolin-to-12.10-quantal-quetzal-desktop-and-server There you go my man [02:54] ClientAlive, you can set that up in Software Sources and switch from LTS releases to normal releases [02:54] vincentS: grep/head is not useful since im using -n 2 [02:54] kk0710, EFI is tricky [02:54] hello [02:54] to print twice [02:55] hello george_ [02:55] are there chinese?

[02:58] i see [02:58] quick question for someone, when it says comment, do i put a # infront of the line or take it away? [02:58] kk0710, on the screen when it boots from the cd/usb for me on my MacBook [02:58] but i just want to make friends with you ~~~~~ [02:58] I dont think its the same for me so not sure you can help [02:59] george_, thats not a problem just want help you the best we can [02:59] deadly, well both work, # in the beggining of the line gives you the option of bringing it back [02:59] i konw [02:59] deadly, starting with a # is a comment line [02:59] i know [02:59] kk0710, my desktop did the same as it has EFI just it was hard to dual boot [02:59] ok, im just reinstalling my vps now, and ill go from there [03:00] ahoneybun: im no longer trying to dual boot this is a clean install of ubuntu [03:00] kk0710, I met a bios like that, that doesn't allow you disable any of the features [03:01] kk0710, oh well I just install the boot loader on the main harddrive like sda and it worked [03:01] apwbdjp: yah I just looked again I see no options relating to EFI, or any keywords I dont recognize. [03:01] apwbdjp: im assuming ubuntu TRIED to do work with EFI because it did install a 3rd partition that I am unfamiliar with and it is bootable [03:02] is there anybody want to make friends with me ? [03:02] kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi [03:02] escott: well I dont knwo how to access efi!!! [03:02] ive tried all options available to me [03:02] george_, what's up! [03:02] kk0710, if it says BIOS or LEGACY that would switch the mode to BIOS from EFI [03:02] george_: this channel is for ubuntu support only [03:02] theres no options like that [03:02] escott, what should that option look like anyway? Something like "Enable Legacy BIOS"? [03:03] escott, now I learned something [03:03] so ive just installed vsftpd and made sure both local_enable=YES write_enable=YES are configured, then just restarted... [03:03] kk0710, your firmware is EFI. i dont care if you call it BIOS. it *IS* EFI [03:03] Just curios, in case you've met it [03:03] now i need to add a user [03:03] ? [03:03] ok I just want to boot ubuntu, how do I do that [03:03] kk0710, so once you get into your firmware setup you are in the EFI setup [03:04] who can give me your google talk ID ? [03:04] ok so once again how do I boot ubuntu [03:04] george_: not here [03:04] ok [03:04] just give me [03:05] @apwbdjp groupadd ftp-users chown root:ftp-users /home/ useradd -g ftp-users -d /home/ spy passwd spy [03:05] ^_^ [03:05] my next thing to do? [03:05] kk0710, thats not easily answered. EFI is new and crappy. thats why i am suggesting you try to boot in BIOS emulation mode [03:05] i have some problems [03:05] escott: that brings me back to what I was trying to say earlier, I see no way to do that [03:05] kk0710, also the FAT partition should not be "bootable" i dont believe such a flag exists in GPT/EFI [03:05] how xfce open 3D ? [03:06] escott: well it was, I etried turning it off and turning boot on for ext4 part but that didnt work either [03:06] escott, there is a option in the windows 7 DVD I believe [03:06] everythign in the bios says bios nothing about efi [03:06] kk0710, you can paste the output of "sudo parted -l" although i doubt it will tell us anything we don't already know [03:07] kk0710, did you read my previous? [03:07] which previous exactly? [03:07] I have a vps that i only have ssh access to. It is currently running debian but i want to install the latest version of ubuntu. is that possible to do from a linux command prompt? [03:07] kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi [03:07] BoBo_: no [03:07] excott [03:07] I feel like we are not communcating well here [03:08] I know you said that then you said usb legacy mode and I was telling you there is no option for that [03:08] BoBo_, a proper OS install requires a couple of reboots, so no [03:08] kk0710, if an option says anything about BIOS it would be my suggestion that you enable it [03:08] we are going in circles here [03:09] Inky2000 sorry i was gone [03:09] i also have serial console access if that would help [03:09] kk0710, in all probability you will not see any options that mention efi, because why would would you have such an option, thats the default [03:09] you've said that [03:09] I understand that [03:09] kk0710, if you dont enable the bios emulation you have the default which is efi [03:09] can you explain the tablet thingy again [03:09] gnome -restart [03:10] kk0710, stuff is simple: Either there's something about Legacy Bios in the setup, and if there isn't then you should send Futjisu some advice about making computers. [03:10] !touch | Bray90820 [03:10] Bray90820: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [03:10] no not that lol [03:10] how xfce open 3D????? [03:10] Bray90820, thats where it is [03:10] well I've just checked, the only legacy options are for usb s upport. [03:10] !details | george_ [03:10] george_: 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 ..." [03:10] Inky2000 was talking about using her convertible netbook/tablet [03:11] or his [03:11] 6_6!!! [03:11] Bray90820, how is that related to ubuntu support [03:11] i just want to open xfce 3D ~ [03:11] kk0710, and you are booting cd? [03:11] george_: what does that mean [03:11] because it was spesificly about using is with ubuntu [03:11] george_, then install ccsm [03:11] escott: liveusb [03:12] kk0710, so why dont you enable the legacy options for usb then [03:12] parted -l just gives what i told you, it created 3 partitions curing install a 98 mg fat32 bootable, an ext4 and a swap [03:12] !ccsm | george_ [03:12] george_: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [03:12] kk0710, since you know how to make a ubuntu install, then I'll suppose you wouldn't miss any tabs or "advanced" part on the UEFI setup. Then I'll say Futjisu has either released a BIOS update for this, or that computer is really really sad. [03:12] escott: how does that help me get it installed? It boots fine from the usb [03:12] kk0710, id like to actually see the table not your description of it [03:12] ccsm???what is it ???? [03:12] george_, I just send you info about it [03:12] george_ - compizconfig-settings-manager [03:13] apwbdjp: I searched all advanced tabs and could find nothing relating to it [03:13] escott, The live boot works, the install goes flawlessly, it's when he takes off the usb stick and tries to boot the new install that it doesn't want to [03:13] kk0710, because if you boot efi you have to install efi [03:13] what i wanted to do was write a script to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting un firefox everytime i rotated the screen into tablet mode [03:13] how can i install it [03:13] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [03:13] kk0710, and for whatever reason your installed efi system is not booting. so maybe ditch the crappy pointless mess that is efi and try bios [03:14] kk0710, escott, I've met a netbook that wouldn't go bad to legacy IDE for the hard drive, and there was no SATA driver for it, so there was no way to install Windows XP on it [03:14] And there was just nothing to do [03:14] apwbdjp, this has nothing to do with IDE vs SATA [03:15] escott, not what I mean. I mean some BIOSes don't let you go back to Legacy mode, on some stuff [03:15] legacy usb su pport is already enabled [03:15] Inky2000 are you still in here [03:16] so that idea wont work I guess [03:16] Bray90820: there is nobody here with that nick [03:16] apwbdjp, (a) he doesn't have BIOS, (b) essentially all shipping uefi systems have an emulation layer otherwise one would not be able to install win XP-vista [03:16] ok [03:16] there was a few hours ago [03:16] that's why i asked [03:16] escott: well like I said I see no way to do it and ive been looking for a while now [03:17] if you want I will read off the options in the bios [03:17] Bray90820: you could just look at the user list or hit tab to find names [03:17] maybe they changed there nick [03:17] kk0710, it wouldn't be very informative. each implementation behaves differently [03:18] greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started? [03:18] greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started automatically? [03:18] well I guess my friend is fucked until I we can get win 7 back on here then === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [03:18] i find xfce can not open 3D ~~ [03:18] ubuntu just isn't going to work [03:18] kk0710, no cursing here [03:18] kk0710, so its not certain what any such option would actually mean. it could mean, boot bios exclusively, or boot bios if efi signatures are not present or list a bios boot in a menu during boot options (the last is what my uefi does) [03:19] yah we are making no forward motion here so this is pointless. Thanks anyway [03:20] i find xfce can not open 3D ~~ [03:20] i find xfce can not open 3D ~~ [03:20] george_: stop spamming, and you might want to say what you mean by "open 3D" [03:20] So anyone wanna help me write a script [03:20] or help me take a look at one that has already been made [03:20] Bray90820: #bash ? [03:21] hopefully ubuntu will fix this soon enough [03:21] ben64 i'm not sure [03:21] kk0710: it's not ubuntu's fault that computer manufacturers are locking down their hardware [03:21] Ben64, thank you! Finally someone who gets me! [03:22] Bray90820, what do you want your script to do, anyway? [03:22] Ben64: that is true but it is there fault they haven't worked with the new setup yet. [03:22] kk0710: no, its not [03:22] If you say so [03:23] well in reality i would like it to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting in firefox every time the netbook screen is rotated into tablet mode [03:24] what I dont understand is the fact that it says that ubuntu supports uefi booting? If it does why am I having problems? [03:24] apwbdjp and then another one to disable all of that when i rotate it back to laptop mode [03:24] kk0710: because they do other stuff like secureboot [03:24] kk0710, steps forward are either to commit to efi and try to debug why that isn't booting, or to use a live image that can only boot bios to try and do the install. ie damage/remove the efi signatures from the liveusb [03:25] how do you save a file when editing in putty? [03:25] deadly: putty is a windows program [03:25] im running a vps [03:25] kk0710, efi is new, and its a big buggy mess. there is more code in uefi than in the linux kernel, and its completely outside of the open source community [03:25] deadly: ok? putty is still a windows program [03:25] deadly, you can't really edit IN putty, that depends on the editor you're using inside it [03:26] kk0710, in a 5-10 years it will hopefully all just work, but right now its just a pain [03:26] is there another way to get access to my vps to do so? [03:26] im currently up to this step: Add the user: ftpuser save the file and open the vsftp.conf file again: vi /etc/vsftpd.conf Add the following lines at the end of the file and save it: - See more at: http://www.php2s.com/linux/how-to-install-configure-vsftpd-on-rhel-centos-ubuntu-fedora-debian.html#sthash.SrV3tL41.dpuf [03:26] apwbdjp what i was thinking was maybe assigning it to a hot key or something [03:26] kk0710, so support is there, but thats not a guarantee that toshiba did their part correctly or according to the specification [03:27] deadly: so then you want to know how to save with "vi", the answer is ":wq" [03:27] deadly: when you edit inside vi/vim, do [esc] (escape) a couple of times, then :w then enter, to save [03:27] kk0710, since you said toshiba ill point you to: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/#entry-22028 [03:27] deadly, if you don't know how to use vi, you should be using nano instead [03:27] whats that?

[03:31] wow i am soo confused with all this server setup stuff [03:31] just for a basic ftp transfer [03:31] colinb_: little to none [03:31] Ben: awesome! [03:32] it's in the repositories, so you should just need to install it and go [03:32] sweet! [03:32] how do I find my usb hdd on my computer [03:34] escott, that article doesn't state which toshiba models are affected (neither does the bug report it links to) do you have any more info on that? [03:34] Could someone help me with a networking/Atheros driver issue? [03:35] airlynx, i believe there are some links in the comments. but i only follow it like one follows a reality tv show. just to watch the trainwreck [03:36] escott, thanks, I just bought myself a brand new toshiba and trying out Win8 before I install Ubuntu, was just dropping by and noticed your link [03:36] apwbdjp would you be able to help me write the script === m0bz is now known as mobz [03:38] Bray90820, putting up a hotkey for showing the onscreen keyboard is pretty easy (You google "Keyboard Shortcuts Ubuntu"), changing Firefox's conf is not that easy, though [03:39] Bray90820, I also know nothing about how to detect when a convertible switches to Tablet mode [03:40] well i didn't really wanna change the conf of firefox just click a button [03:40] just to enable and disable an exstention [03:40] i could do that manually tho if i had to [03:40] HI there everyone. everyone. Can someone tell me a good way to compare files eg html files. diff is great but with the <> already in it it is a mess to compare them using diff [03:41] Vivekananda, well thats just a display format issue. you could use a gui tool like meld or gvimdiff [03:42] escott: meld or gvimdiff has diff as the background ?? is gvimdiff already installed ?? [03:42] anyways i gotta go [03:42] Vivekananda, if you want a more SGML specific tool there are probably some structured diff tools. perhaps as part of Perl6 but probably also some independent programs [03:42] i will be back in like an hour or so [03:42] * Bray90820 is away [03:44] Vivekananda, if you have gvim installed you can use gvim. but thats still just diff with colors [03:45] Vivekananda, if you want something that is not line oriented like http://diffxml.sourceforge.net/ === atrius is now known as atrius_away [03:45] escott: I am running two xpath queries and want to compare results. The results are showing up as just one huge line instead of separate lines [03:46] I tried gvimdiff but it is just one huge line :( [03:46] I will try meld [03:46] Vivekananda, then put a newline character in your xpath output [03:46] hmm [03:48] Vivekananda, an xml document is perfectly valid even if it is just one long line, and your xpath tool won't prettify the output by putting newlines that aren't required unless you ask it to [03:48] escott: yep I understood that. Just unfamiliar with how to incorporate it into the code. Even if do it wont help coz the correct solution code is also one straight line [03:49] Vivekanada, does VIM do what yo want? [03:49] I guess will have to manually sift through the code [03:49] ok hold on I will just paste what I have --- [03:49] Vivekananda, what is your xpath query?

[03:52] nope sql but this is not sql but xpath [03:53] we have a sample file and have to run queries ( practice basically) [03:53] Vivekananda, yes i got that. but is it the XML modules in Oracle?

[04:09] holstein: But the repo version is way too old: 9.x [04:10] hy all [04:10] Juest: i suggest testing with it.. you dont have to [04:10] colinb_, wubi? [04:10] escott, ok I put a folder with the fonts in .fonts [04:10] is that ok"? [04:10] yes I believe so [04:10] newbi [04:10] umm, what part of old driver you don't understand holstein ?

[04:12] bazhang, that's what I thought.. I just don't have a cdrom drive on this laptop nor a usb stick [04:12] Guest31079, what language [04:12] dn4, you might try logging out or putting the font files in ~/.fonts and not a subfolder of ~/.fonts [04:12] Juest: its a suggestion.. and again, you dont have to, but the driver from the repos will be best supported here, and in the operating system [04:12] oh well [04:12] bazhang indonesia [04:12] But supported driver is not supported actually holstein [04:12] my englis is bad [04:12] !id | Guest31079 [04:12] Guest31079: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia === HEYEAYEAYEAYEA is now known as zz_HEYEAYEAYEAYE [04:13] ubottu makasi om [04:13] Juest: enjoy then! maybe another volunteer can help you [04:13] idk [04:13] bazhang, is there anyway to do an install without cdrom or usb?

[04:15] Juest: the kernel is made to work with the other packages in the repos.. i would try the supported driver, even though its older, just for troubleshooting.. otherwise, ATI, can provide support for the kernel you are using [04:15] dr_willis: reinstall what? where i get the old kernel? [04:16] the old kernels are still in the repos... [04:16] holstein: idk, but i know that the repo package is OLD, should i reinstall the ati fglrx driver? [04:16] yeah,, and in your grub list Juest .. you can see them at boot time [04:16] you could (technically) use 'dd' to install ubuntu from an existing drive image, doesn't require USB or CDROM. good luck. [04:16] holstein: oh well, i delete the kernels i said [04:16] ubottu how to join ubutu-id [04:16] Guest31079: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:16] this is why you noemally keep 1 or 2 old kernels [04:16] Guest31079: /join #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:17] Guest31079: /join #ubuntu-id [04:17] Juest: you can reinstall them... a troubleshooting step will be necessary on your part... just think about if you'd like to test an older kernel with the current driver, or the older driver with the current kernel.. thanks! [04:17] holstein: oh well, i got to go anyway, Thanks, will reinstall fglrx [04:17] anyway [04:18] fglrx had survived kernel update [04:18] Juest: oh well? [04:18] it's just this kernel causing problems [04:18] upgraded from .23 to .25 === kgs is now known as Guest73594 [04:18] Juest: you can install the ealier one and confirm that [04:19] earlier* [04:19] in the house!!!

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:21] colinb: my netbooks could [04:21] colinb: i use unetbootin on sdcards just like usb sticks [04:21] I suppose it is BIOS dependent? [04:21] colinb: i whuld say yes. [04:21] colinb: i use PLOP to boot what i like, but i use PLOP from cd [04:23] ive had a full ubuntu install on sd card for my netbook [04:23] dr_willis, stop being so helpful, you are flooding the channel [04:24] :) [04:24] i have my sdcard broken LOL [04:24] and i can't run gnome-shell [04:25] and i deleted old kernels [04:25] (to save space) [04:25] why can't you run gnome-shell? [04:25] i can confirm kernel broke graphics [04:25] somehow [04:26] you probably just need to reinstall video driver [04:26] kevdog: you mean, how can one run gnome-shell? [04:26] kevdog: i have flgrx installed [04:26] fglrx [04:26] and it's lastest [04:26] that [04:26] that's the ati driver right? [04:26] Yep [04:26] Juest: you can reinstall the kernel that worked/works [04:27] idk, i told u that i deleted kernel [04:27] latest from the repos or from the ati sites Juest [04:27] Juest: you can *reinstall* them... [04:27] if your internet still works cant you just use apt-get to get old kernel? [04:27] ati site dr_willis [04:27] Juest, reinstall the old ones [04:27] works far better than 9.5x from repo [04:27] Juest: thats a huge part of your problem then [04:27] Why you guys insist with an older driver? [04:28] because new one doesn't work?? [04:28] Juest, pay attention [04:28] we dont support non repo drivers [04:28] should i try reinstall these drivers? [04:28] idc, i want help anyway [04:28] Juest: the "help" is, you need to install something.. either the kernel that worked, or the driver that will likely work [04:29] gnome-shell and mutter don't run [04:29] yu MUST manually install the ati driver for each kernel if you use the one from the ati site [04:29] There's no kernel specification in ati website [04:29] only Xorg version [04:29] yeah, its likely just that you need to reinstall manually again Juest [04:29] Juest: its a module that gets built, since you are not using the repo version [04:34] hello, i'm plannin to get rid of my ubuntu 10.04 and reinstall it back, do i need to use gparted? to reformat it? [04:34] coolroot, the installer will do that === gigabotx is now known as gigabot [04:35] i tried using usb stick with bootable ubuntu 10.04 distro but i got error :( [04:37] coolroot, any reason not to use 12.04 the most recent LTS? [04:38] !10.04 [04:38] 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) [04:39] hmmm might be too huge i mean i'm having a low spec in my laptop [04:41] when I upgrade ubuntu version -- specifically 11.10 to 12.04 -- do I lose all the settings for example with gnome-fallback shell with metacity? [04:41] coolroot: i would try xubuntu 12.04 or lubuntu [04:42] Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ? [04:42] kevdog, you are on a dead-end desktop anyways [04:42] kevdog: i would backup everything, and expect to lose everything.. usually most settings try to be preserved [04:42] anyone in here bought the xps dell 13 (sputnik)? curious on the build quality. === PrincessDaybreak is now known as Dawn_ [04:43] dcope, try ##hardware [04:44] kevdog, i believe metacity still exists in 12.04 but it will be gtk3 based so won't be identical [04:44] backup everything -- what's best way to do that other than like a clonezilla [04:44] noob question, how do i force a disk check? fsck or something? My browser won't run right now or i'd google it [04:44] bazhang: thanks [04:44] i'll try there [04:44] cnblue, check the appdb and ask in the wine support channel #winehq [04:44] !appdb | cnblue [04:44] cnblue: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [04:44] !fsck [04:44] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [04:44] I'm running compiz ontop of metacity -- and from my understanding compiz doesn't work in 12.04 -- or is that FUD [04:45] PadNet_201: id use the fsck command from a live cd [04:45] kevdog: your whole statement is false.. [04:45] kevdog, compiz is a bit problematic yes [04:45] dr_willis, is that b/c u can't run it on a mounted system? [04:45] compiz replaces metacity [04:45] PadNet_201: you dont fsck a mounted fs.. correct [04:45] kevdog, but its with unity, not metacity [04:45] PadNet_201, dr_willis +1 i wouldn't be touching anything on a filesystem if i was uncertain of its validitiy [04:46] yea - -- but didn't gnome fallback get rid of unity? [04:46] compiz works ok for most people on 12.04 - it depends on your hardware and drivers [04:46] Did Adobe give up Acrobat / Acrobat Reader development for Linux platforms? Just updating my Ubuntu install and see it's updating to 9.5X something... I've got Acrobat 11 on some Windows desktops around here... [04:46] kevdog: get rid? it dosent uninstall it. [04:47] arggh -- you can see I'm not using the correct language here. [04:47] chaz68, acroread? should be in either partner or medibuntu repo, let me check [04:47] dr_willis, escott, thx [04:47] kevdog: if you want a light old skool desktop - try lubuntu [04:47] bazhang: No it's there... I've got it but it's version 9.5X something. Just curious if it's being abandoned like Flash Player is on Linux... [04:47] hi, can I install kik on linux? [04:48] faryshta: and whats kik? [04:48] chaz68, not to my knowledge [04:48] Like I said, I've got Acrobat version 11.02 on some Windows desktops over here.... Seems to be way behind on the Linux release... [04:48] dr_willis, its a messenger for phones or something I am not sure [04:48] aptitude search "network?" gives a few results, but seems to be missing some obvious hits like "tcpdump"... I can't help but wonder what else I'm not seeing. What am I doing wrong? [04:49] Would use evince or xpdf but there are some clowns who insist on encrypting their PDF's with a AES-256... Only works with Adobe Acrobat Reader... [04:49] faryshta: you are not sure what it is... but you want to install it.. is it a windows app or what exactly? [04:49] I'm not looking for a light desktop per se -- I really just liked the old compiz stuff -- I'm not wed to it - my problem was really the unity toolbar -- took up too much real-estate on the screen. There is probably a way to find it I'm sure -- but it's been like 1.5 years since I've messed with the system setup -- everything runs great on the system but I'm afraid when 11.10 reaches EOL -- which should be like later this year -- I'm i [04:50] kevdog: you can make a custom compiz session if you really wanted to [04:50] compiz + a dock + whatever ;) [04:50] dr_willis, http://kik.com/ [04:51] Wasn't support for compiz like being dropped about that time -- or is that FUD as well. [04:51] kevdog: compiz is still goint strong.. [04:51] going [04:51] dr_willis, any ideas why my browser tries to load and just crashes w/o warning? the fsck went well [04:51] good to know !!! [04:52] PadNet_201: extensions would be my guess.. run it with a default empty/clean session perhaps [04:52] dr_willis, wilco [04:52] compiz needs work in a great many areas.. but itsa getting better. [04:54] kevdog, compiz is unity only these days [04:54] kevdog, these days being 12.10 and up [04:55] is it possible to install kik on ubuntu? [04:56] faryshta: if its a windows app. you can try it in wine [04:57] dr_willis, Imagine that, my reddit enhancement suite extension was causing problems... thx! [04:57] PadNet_201: the revenge of /r/lolcats [04:57] lol [04:58] i only seem to read redit from my phone... === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Dawn_ [04:58] I am having problem installing Vuze from Software Centre....I cannot see it in the launch bar [04:58] not sure if fan of redit.. or of imgur [04:59] lol I know what u mean [05:01] I am using uuntu 12.04LTS [05:02] so where should I go for questions on trying to get a certain program to work? [05:02] chadford1324: What program? [05:02] c3 for voice chatting [05:03] I have installed and removed Vuze both from the software centre and the command to terminal but of no avail [05:03] Anirban, why not try a more stable torrent client [05:03] chadford1324: I'd assume the best method would be to find out if *they* run a chat and ask there. [05:03] chadford1324, what is c3 [05:04] its like an off-brand teamspeak [05:04] and its free lol [05:04] Earlier I installed qBittorrent client , but it use to crash now and then so I tried Vuze. [05:04] chadford1324, where is the source for installation [05:04] chadford1324: C3 a Windows platform? [05:04] Anirban: have you tried Transmission? Or utorrent via wine for that matter? [05:04] Anirban, transmission and deluge are much more used [05:05] yeah it is for windows. I'm using wine to get it to install [05:05] I'm allow to post links right? [05:05] @bazhang : Is Vuze not stable in Ubuntu ? Its quite stable in my Windows [05:05] gwinbee, utorrent runs on Linux too, server version [05:05] apwbdjp: I did not know this [05:05] Anirban, the java based torrent client? its not stable on any platform [05:05] so... on 12.04 the xscreensaver daemon does not start upon booting the computer. So, earlier, I find out there is a typo in a config file for it. Do: "sudo less /etc/xdg/autostart/screensaver.desktop | grep Applicaton" and you see. Now, on 12.10 (which I just installed for a relative, it's the same problem but running the aformentioned command reveals that there is no such file on 12.10. What do I do? Create it? [05:05] I switched to transmission years ago though... [05:05] !info vuze [05:05] vuze (source: azureus): Multimedia BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.3.0.6-5 (quantal), package size 7 kB, installed size 59 kB [05:05] gwinbee, you just run it, and go to http://localhost:8080/gui [05:06] interesting. [05:06] It has a nice web interface [05:06] chadford1324: I may suggest CrossOver for Linux if straight Wine doesn't do the trick. I presume you're trying to get it running in Ubuntu... [05:06] most torrect clients can do a web interface these days [05:06] here is the link for the install bazhang http://www.downloadc3.com/ [05:06] And all the power of utorrent, with very very little resources usage === aj-rascawea is now known as ajacom [05:07] excuse my nubness but crossover? [05:07] CrossOver's web page if you don't get it working in WINE: http://www.codeweavers.com/ [05:07] right now my torrents are going through a win7 computer, I have to admit I only tolerate transmission in linux. I'll try out that web-based linux utorrent next time I need torrenting on ubuntu though. [05:08] I have tried Transmisson , At times It also crashes. Also is there any GUI to launch Transmission ? It only starts when I click on a magnet link [05:08] on multiple monitors, if you divide the screens into 4 vertical slices (across both of them), how do you maximise windows to slice 3 and slice 4? I can't work out how to do it [05:08] Ok cool thanks. I'll give this a try :) [05:08] 2) how do you add a directory to the list of directories in the file explorer? [05:09] gwinbee: Utorrent is on LInux now???? [05:09] hi, anyone know how to edit KDE's shutdown timeout? (not to disable it, but change the value, from 30 sec to 10 or 5) [05:09] crazyhorse: for my nvidia setup i move most of the window to the monitor. then fullscreen it.. it goes to what monitor has the most of the window [05:09] chaz68: has been for some time [05:10] hmmm.. yeah i can only do the half-maximise thing (that they have in windows) on slice 1 and 4 by dragging to the edge of the screen [05:10] chadford1324: Crossover can help you run a lot of stuff natively on the desktop without resorting to a VM.... I've run older MS programs successfully with it but have stayed with VM's now for various reasons... [05:10] crazyhorse: just double click the titlebar? [05:10] chaz68: from what apwbdjp says, yeah. Server-based, you access it via your browser. see apwbdjp in backlog for details. [05:11] dr_willis: nah that makes it occupy monitor 1 (i.e. both slice 1 and 2), i already have an app in slice 2 [05:11] sorry in slice 1 [05:11] crazyhorse: some badly written apps do that. [05:11] ohh ok chaz68 . I just started using ubuntu like 3 days ago or so lol [05:11] dr_willis: I see alpha download here... http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux [05:11] very cool - wasn't aware of that. [05:11] So I'm still learning my way around all of the programs and stuff [05:11] pooh worked it out [05:12] crazyhorse: what video drivers and card? [05:12] you have to drag to the bottom edge between slice2/slice3 [05:12] I have a incomplete torrent in my transmission . I want to start it [05:12] dr_willis: macbook pro 6,1 (whatever that is) [05:12] oh and i'm running in a VM so i'm guessing that makes it even more confusing :) [05:12] chadford1324: Didn't find C3 in the Crossover database.

[05:14] chadford1324: Might want to chat with some advanced users of C3. If it works on Mac, good shot at possibly shoe-horning it into working on Ubuntu. [05:15] crazyhorse: ubuntu uses "nautilus" for its filemanager [05:16] Can anyone tell me how to launch transmission [05:16] Anirban, it has a menu icon [05:16] ok in nautilus, how do you lock it so that it always shows list view? [05:16] Anirban: run transmission-gtk perhaps [05:16] Ok I'll talk to the people with c3 and some others Thanks for you help :) [05:17] @bazhang : I cannot find it in the launch bar... [05:17] crazyhorse: no idea. never tried. askubuntu.com may know [05:17] been googling :? [05:17] :/ [05:17] Anirban, in unity?

I'm curious about chrubuntu and the acer c7 [05:22] just wanted to talk over getting a newer kernel onto the machine [05:22] There is a blog where someone posts instructions on how to install Chrubuntu [05:23] bja, what is chrubuntu [05:23] Its Ubuntu for the Chromebook [05:23] ttoti, Yeah read that blog [05:23] ubuntu installed onto a google chromebook using the chromebook's native linux kernel [05:23] I'm on it now [05:23] am tracking 13.04 [05:23] but still using the kernel that shipped with the machine [05:23] How is that running? I have Debian running on my CR-48 and its pretty good === Jiko is now known as jiko [05:24] I think I understand the principle behind getting a new kernel on there (it needs to include specific patches and then be signed by a special utility that wraps it so the firmware can boot it) [05:24] fine [05:24] I've sank about US$430 into it [05:24] it now has a 128GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an uprated battery [05:25] (total including the $200 for the laptop) [05:25] wow, that's a nice upgrade [05:25] I am still waiting or a answer [05:25] but it's been my daily driver for almost two weeks now [05:25] bja, nice!

[05:28] Anirban, alt f2 transmission-gtk then right click launcher keep in launcher [05:30] the dash should bring up transmission if you start to type it in also...

I removed my default account from the sudoers file accidentally. Is there any way to reverse this WITHOUT using GRUB recovery (GRUB does not exist in ubuntu-minimal AFAIK) [06:02] err.. minimal should be using grub2 [06:02] you got a grub menu? you can get to a root shell [06:03] i just dont remember how. ;) [06:03] really? oh great. let me ask this though: the whole filesystem is on an SD card; can I just edit the sudoers file on my desktop linux box? [06:03] Reece: should be able to [06:04] remember to backup the original just in case [06:04] fantastic. I'll try that. thanks!

I have about 500 torrents I want to transfer from Transmission to Deluge. How to do? [06:05] Anirban: tried searching for vuze in the unity dash? [06:05] whats unity dash ?

[07:04] hi [07:04] I would like to forward a desktop session from a remote computer to a different tty (say tty6) on my local computer, how would I do that? [07:05] I know the concepts of ssh -x but I don't know how to start that on a different tty [07:06] using vino. or x11vnc would let rhem see/remote your desktop ShapeShifter499 [07:06] they just run a vnc client and connect. [07:06] teamviewer could work also [07:06] no its my own computers [07:07] so? [07:07] i vnc to my pc across the room... [07:08] dr_willis, you know how you can start a x GUI app like gedit via "ssh -x" on another computer? couldn't you do that with something like startx or gnome but on a different tty? [07:08] xdmcp sets you run a desktop on a remote pc and see it locally also.. but its not visible on the server [07:09] ShapeShifter499: you can xforward a xterm rhen start a whole desktop. but it may be very laggy [07:09] you would want to setup a special minimal x session i imagine [07:10] dr_willis: can i use gparted to reformat my dualboot in ubuntu 10.04? [07:10] you can use gparted to do most anything.. [07:11] disk wise that is. ;) [07:11] gparted exists in 10.04 i imagine. or use a gparted live cd [07:11] so im not clear on what your actual problem is [07:11] hi [07:11] but i'm not sure on which one should i reformat i got /dev/sda7 ext4 and unknown /dev/sda5 which i believed my dell recovery in win7 [07:12] mount them and see what they are. [07:12] sudo blkid may give info also [07:12] i dont know what you want to do exactly [07:13] i would be SURE to make a recovery cd/dvd set befor messing with stuff. [07:15] i tried but nothing works i really do messed up my system bigtime [07:15] can't use anything [07:16] Hello. I need help with an ASUS N13 USB wireless adapter. I managed to install it on Ubuntu 12.10, but it is very slow. This link claims it fixes the problem, but it didn't for me. I followed it completely.

[07:19] Hola [07:19] Can anyone help me get opencv running in ubuntu? [07:19] erm...install it, I mean [07:19] I don't think I did it correctly [07:19] I'm trying to visualize why a particular package is wanting to install a seemingly unrelated package. I recall seeing a website that did dependency visualization, but can't remember where and can't find it. It might of been for debian, but I believe the dependencies are the same in this case [07:19] http://dpaste.org/y5U2Y/ here is dmidecode output for memory [07:19] so can i upgrade to 16gb ? [07:20] dr_willis: i got a screenshot on my gparted can u try to help me on it? on which one should i go to reformat? [07:20] corehook: ask in #hardware perhaps [07:20] thx [07:21] coolroot: mount them both and look. a normal install makes a / and a swap partition. [07:21] sudo blkid or sudo parted -l, or sudo fdisk -l may give info also [07:21] Any thoughts on the wireless card? Or can you tell me where I should get help from? [07:21] if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap [07:22] Godel_: you may want to check askubuntu.com also [07:23] hi [07:23] dr_willis, I did. I found the solution to installing the correct driver there. But I didn't find a useful discussion on solving the speed issue, except for the link that I sent earlier. [07:23] monitor shows that im downloading with 30kb/s but I don't know what it is downloading. [07:24] so confiused [07:24] I'm broadcasting using mixxx. I'm trying to listen to it with clementine but what should the protocol be? [07:24] dr_willis, also somebody on a Linux Mint website is suggesting this: [07:24] It turns out the N13 wasn't the problem. Apparently, channel interference with another AP was the cause of the dropouts. Changing the channel and lowering the beacon interval seems to have rectified the problem. [07:24] dr_willis: postimage.org/image/ttsie8no3/ [07:24] But I don't understand what that means and what I can do about it. [07:25] dr_willis: paste.ubuntu.com/5572725 [07:25] dr_willis: paste.ubuntu.com/5572725/ [07:25] system monitor shows that i am downloading with 30 kb/s but I didn't ask it dowload anything whats going on? [07:25] coolroot: so you have 1 linux partition ext4, and 2 swap partitions for some odd reason [07:27] Sara_: could be anything, what are you running now? [07:27] so which one should i go to reformat? [07:27] Sara_: irc would be a good guess :) [07:27] the /dev/sda7 which is my ext4? [07:27] coolroot: since all 3 are part of a linux install.. you format all 3 [07:28] if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap <<<< [07:28] Ah... can any of you tell me how do I add NTFS partitions to my Ubuntu Precise Pangolin Installation on vmware upon startup? [07:28] Do I have to add anything to the fstab file? [07:28] I am not really sure about the syntax that I am supposed to put into it. [07:28] MorpheusChalice: yes [07:28] aeon-Ltd: nope its not Irc and I was uploading some files using thunderbird but it should be finished by now [07:28] !ntfs-3g [07:28] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [07:28] what about the /dev/sda5? which is unknown? but yet it was under from a linux filesystem? [07:28] dr_willis, ah.... what am I supposed to put in it, though? [07:28] coolroot: i have no crystal ball that tells me what it is... [07:28] Sara_: thunderbird may be checking for new mail? [07:29] coolroot: leave it alone if you dont know [07:29] ok thanx alot dr_willis i'll go and reformat my /dev/sda7 :D [07:29] MorpheusChalice: the ntfs-3g docs and homepage show examples [07:30] All right. Thank you for telling me about it. =). [07:30] I will try to see if that works.

[07:39] Do you know of anything that you have personally tried dr_willis ? [07:39] when ubuntu 13.04 is coming? [07:39] i got several usb wifi dongles off amazon that work out of the box. [07:39] EarthDragon: 13.04 is the version and the date [07:39] 2013 4th month [07:39] oh good to know [07:39] thx [07:40] Thanks and good night [07:41] hope they wont screw graphic drivers support further in 13.04 a lot of ppl have been complaining about 12.10 [07:42] and many switched to linux mint [07:42] people complain no matter what is done or not done... [07:42] yet i managed to work xubuntu 12.10 [07:42] and ive seen a lot of mint users switch back. [07:42] lol [07:43] mint still seems unable to configure their irc clients to join the proper mint channles by default.. instead of here.. [07:43] ;) [07:43] im an ex mint user :P [07:43] ha [07:44] It joined the mint channels by default for me when i used it [07:44] is that problem with pre installed irc client then? [07:44] ati and nvidia driver issues have always been a top 10 problem item. [07:44] along with flash, and wireless drivers. [07:44] the top 4 items i would say [07:45] at least theres is the guide for ati card owners http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page [07:45] Hi. Does someone know about how to configure dnsmasq to only ask nameservers from the interface that provides the route to the default gateway?

[07:55] oh i have a question well i managed to unpack amd radeon drivers with *.run extension into 3 deb packages i installed them and it worked and what if i reinstall xubuntu can i use them once again these packages on a fresh xubuntu using "sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb"?

[07:57] dr_willis, tell me command to clean all unwanted kernels [07:57] EarthDragon: no idea [07:57] ferronica: i dont know the exact command. because theres a lot of diffeerent kernels [07:57] i dont see why you used a seperate /boot/ in the first place.

[09:02] jony: we're gonna need quite a few more details in order to help you [09:02] !anyone | deo [09:02] deo: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [09:02] i give it already Ben64 [09:02] !ask [09:02] 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 [09:03] firstly th attached USB stick didn't showed up at all [09:03] EarthDragon: sometimes you want to modify it, or have a newer version [09:03] oh thx ben64 for info [09:03] hello guys.. need some help with my ubuntu 12.04 machine, after some sort of upgrades and reboot,, launcher wont show up i tried to open terminal using ctrl alt f1 then issued unity --reset [09:03] after I've installed usb-mount, it shows up, but in read only mode only [09:04] !mv [09:04] jony: ubuntu by default mounts all usb drives, you shouldn't have to install usb-mount or anything like that. what version of ubuntu? === micjan02 is now known as janisozaur [09:04] !move files [09:04] marta: ??? [09:05] 12.04 [09:05] jony: ubuntu? kubuntu? xubuntu? lubuntu? something else? [09:05] ubuntu [09:05] Sorry.... trying to move files from a folder to a folder that was root permissions only [09:05] desktop version? server version? [09:05] What's the difference between all of those? [09:05] but i can only move the folder... [09:05] marta: sudo [09:05] desktop 32 bit [09:05] i know i do that ... but still [09:05] SierraAR: desktop environment mostly [09:06] i tryed also sudo mv -b ... mv -t ... nothing [09:06] jony: does it not show up in Places in the menu? [09:06] marta: Have you tried copying them, then deleting from the original location? === chad is now known as Guest15089 [09:07] Won't solve the issue of mv not working, but if that works it should be the same end result [09:07] humm.. no i didnt. Im gonna try that :) thanks for the help [09:08] marta: if u want to copy files without using terminal then use PCmanFM program. It allows u to copy files easy using GUI. [09:08] it mounts in /media/usb0 [09:08] Thank you very much EarhDragon [09:08] np [09:09] dang, now I get my login screen, but if I enter the correct password, I get a flash of white text on black and it throws me back to the login screen [09:09] can I force my system to use VESA, and make X run in "safe mode" ? [09:09] jockey-text doesn't do anything [09:10] so maybe I need to install those drivers first [09:10] stepspermm [09:10] I'm working through tty2 atm [09:10] stepspermm? [09:12] how can I insert the persons noickname before writing my message here? [09:12] put a : [09:12] in front [09:12] eg jony: [09:12] jony: [09:12] shutdown -t 002 /g [09:13] jony: Usually, type out their username. Some IRC clients have an auto complete feature, where if you type the first few lettes of a nickname, then press 'tab', it'll finish the name [09:13] !tab [09:13] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [09:14] Ben64, it mounts in /media/usb0 [09:14] SierraAR, TY! [09:14] jony: yeah, well you're using usbmount, and i don't ever use that [09:14] jonathaN: Np [09:14] Jony* [09:14] (And that was me derping with autocomplete!) [09:14] Ben64, ok, but it didn't worked at all before [09:15] maybe it did and you didn't see it? [09:21] One quick question: Is there a recent guide for reinstalling a system (ubuntu) whose hard disk was encrypted by LUKS (cryptsetup) ?

[09:38] you can.. but it may not fix anything [09:38] depends on what you borked [09:39] apt-get install --reinstall X bla bla [09:41] dr_willis: I keep looping on the login screen === ericab is now known as ericab_away [09:41] belgianguy: that dosent mean x is borked [09:41] not alot of ubuntu fans in here huh [09:41] belgianguy: make a new user and see if they can login [09:41] belgianguy: at console 'sudo adduser billgates' [09:41] dr_willis: I'll try that [09:43] belgianguy➤ i had similar prob i had to use "sudo usermod -u " and it fixed it. this may not apply to you but i am offering it fwiw [09:43] every time ive seen the issue. it was the users .xauthority file. or other user config giles crashing the desktop [09:44] no idea what usermod -u even does. ;) [09:44] chmod ? [09:44] "can't connect to mysql.sock(2)" what's that mean? [09:45] bentinata: mysql is not accepting the connection perhaps [09:46] join #openstack === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc === indy21_ is now known as indy21 === xubuntu is now known as Guest89300 [09:53] dr_willis: I could log in, but immedetlty got an error that Compiz quit unexpectedly (crash) [09:53] immedeatly* [09:53] belgianguy: compiz crashed on a newly made user? [09:53] dr_willis: correct [09:54] but the desktop dident close back to the login screen? [09:54] dr_willis: no, it did not close back [09:54] I did try to reinstall fglrx earlier, as I thought it broke [09:54] so that points to some driver issue. not working with compiz/3d [09:55] but it won't let me clean it out and reinstall [09:55] you could install lubuntu-desktop for a working desktop to use untill you get it figured out. [09:55] i dont mess with fglrx enought to know what to fix [09:56] dr_willis: fglrx is a world of pain [09:56] you used fglrcx from the repos or from the ati site? [09:56] dr_willis: the one I had was from the ATI site,the one I installed was from repo [09:56] you did uninstall the ati site one first? [09:56] is the ubuntu update thingy down? [09:57] /Server irc.irc-hispano.org [09:57] i keep trying to update and it returns 404 not found [09:57] yes, but it complained about certain folders [09:57] lynxx could be a local mirror is down. [09:57] I removed those manually, otherwise the new one refused to install, even with the -f flag [09:58] is there a way to reset the whole gfx environment to "basics", as in "not use fglrx" [09:58] ok [09:58] dr_willis: sorry my internet connection crashed, where is the .Xathority file located? [09:58] belgianguy: remove the fglrx drives should do that [09:58] ShapeShifter499: in your home [09:58] sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* then ? [09:59] belgianguy: guess you can try. ;) [09:59] belgianguy: you may want to install some backup desktop and console irc client just in case [10:01] dr_willis: this is a different pc altogether, but I'm pretty borked atm as the machine that is down is my dev machine [10:02] "can't connect mysql.sock(2)" any help? [10:03] belgianguy: copy imporntant files over to other pc.. reinstall perhaps? ;) [10:03] Anyone? [10:04] dr_willis: thank you that worked [10:04] dr_willis: tbh I'm a bit scared to do that, I've got quite the extensive install, but the machine must be back up by tomorrow or I'm toast [10:05] ShapeShifter499: running some stuff via sudo instead of gksudo can do that [10:06] dr_willis: I'd like to run virtual box in another tty, how do I do that without sudo? [10:06] belgianguy: you did remove the old xorg.conf after removeing fglrx drivers? [10:06] dr_willis: I'm still removing them [10:06] should I delete the xorg.conf again? [10:06] ShapeShifter499: no idea on the right way to spawn a 2nd x session these days.. askubuntu.com may know [10:07] Ok thank you [10:07] belgianguy: default drivers should auto config [10:07] tbh I made aticonfig generate a new one, but that didn't help in the least [10:07] Anyone? [10:07] if you are not using fglrx then that xorg.conf will be wrong [10:08] okay, so the remove of fglrx just completed [10:08] any recommendations on what to do next? [10:08] you did reboot aftet removeing the .run drivers and installing ghe fglrc drivers? [10:09] i imagine you need to reboot after uninstalling the fglrx drivers via apt also [10:09] and remove the xorg.conf [10:09] first reboot, then remove xord.conf? [10:10] xorg* [10:10] id remove it first [10:10] ok [10:12] hey guys, i installed redmine through apt-get and im wondering how can i update these packages? [10:12] dr_willis: seems it didn't exist anymore :s [10:12] just reboot then? [10:12] (there are a lot of backups though) [10:14] g0tcha: apt should update them as updates come out. [10:14] g0tcha: if you want nrwer versions you will need to look for a ppa most likely [10:14] anyone has the missing bluetooth-applet problem on raring? [10:14] !info redmine [10:14] redmine (source: redmine): flexible project management web application. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.4+dfsg1-1 (quantal), package size 4844 kB, installed size 11796 kB [10:14] now i got a new cloud indicator but the bluetooth one is gone :) [10:15] ypwong: rareing support in #ubuntu+1 [10:15] dr_willis, thx [10:16] dr_willis, thanks.. is there a way to check if there is a "backport" for redmine that has a recent version? [10:16] im not sure if backport is the right one [10:16] I just downloaded the ubuntu server 12.10 (amd64).iso file. I used the universal usb installer and a pendrive. I started the process of installing but i am getting network dhcp error and alot of errors [10:18] how can i keep pidgin keep running in the background [10:18] dr_willis: rebooted, now just a flashing cursor after GRUB selection [10:18] time to try nomode set option [10:18] nomodeset [10:18] !nomodeset [10:18] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:18] I'll boot ir recovery mode, here I can't do much [10:19] hmm. silly bot.. [10:19] edit grub menu at boot.. 'quiet splash' becomes 'quiet nomodeset nosplash' ;) [10:19] dr_willis: forums are down [10:19] i hate splash [10:20] hi there, I'm trying to configure my online accounts with Ubuntu 12.10 (upgraded from Ubuntu 12.04). I'm not sure what is possible. Can I integrate my gmail with contacts, for example? Or is Gnome Contacts looking for Gnome Online Accounts (not Ubuntu Online Account) for example? [10:20] boot.. grub menu.. hit 'e' [10:20] dr_willis: how does one drop into that mode again at th egrub menu? [10:20] ah okay [10:20] this window doesn't auto scoll [10:20] grub-fu 101 ;) [10:21] theres also the 'text' option. to get ubuntu to boot to a fallback text console [10:22] dr_willis: it already has nomodeset [10:22] hmm.. wonder if that was breaking your fglrx drivers... [10:23] i dont use them enough to know [10:23] try removeing it i guess [10:23] dr_willis: probably not, it's been good for months [10:23] you did try booting with older kernels? [10:26] dr_willis: I tried with some, could login, but X didn't work there either [10:26] now I can't start recovery mode of my most recent kernel, bummer [10:27] hmm.. none of this should break recovery mode [10:27] or 'text' mode [10:29] could be the apt-get remove stuff removed too much. you may want to try text/recovery and reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package. or live cd, and chroot in and try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [10:29] hi guys how do we re install unity? [10:29] i found my launcher is missing after a reboot :( [10:29] how can we get it back ? any ideas? [10:29] dr_willis: atm I tried the 3rd kernel in the list, am back to looping at login [10:29] deo: why do you need to. what launcher? that may not be unity broke [10:29] proceed with reinstalling ubuntu-desktop? [10:30] deo: first test would be to make a new user saee if they work right [10:30] dr_willis: what i mean is i cant find those menus above [10:30] im using 12.04 [10:30] belgianguy: yea. i dont see how it could hurt [10:30] deo: if a newly made user works.. then its a user setting issue with the problem user [10:30] not a unity/system issue [10:31] hmmn okay will try to create anothe dr_willis [10:31] can it be done using command line? [10:31] deo: at console/term sudo adduser billgates [10:32] dr_willis: do i need to reboot after creating the user?? i already created a new user.. [10:32] using command line... [10:32] dr_willis: just tried logging in with my billgates account [10:32] rebooting machine [10:32] that works [10:32] eg unity and the Dash [10:33] belgianguy: ur launcher lost too? [10:33] belgianguy: thats good [10:33] deo: my system stopped working when I rebooted yesterday [10:33] so now you can clean out old problematic settings from the problem users homes. [10:34] how can i keep pidgin keep running in the background??????????????? [10:34] dr_willis: what would I look for? Log files?

[11:28] It used to be there. [11:28] still beta [11:29] I thought it was released. [11:29] I saw it on the software center a weeks ago! [11:29] !steam | LS\MFT [11:29] LS\MFT: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [11:30] The wiki says: The Steam Client is available through the Ubuntu Software Center (USC). Run the USC, search for Steam, and install it or click here for a direct link to the USC. [11:30] It's not on the USC! [11:31] LS\MFT: I installed it about a week ago via USC but I can't see it now [11:31] LS\MFT, try in #ubuntu-steam [11:31] Okay. [11:31] LS\MFT: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/steam/ [11:31] I can't see it as well. [11:33] 128 linux games on Steam? [11:33] lol [11:33] that's a lot of games [11:33] why is that funny ? [11:33] I thought there were only 10 or 20 [11:34] that was like when the first version of steam linux came out [11:34] And is it mandatory to use the 310 beta driver? [11:34] no, but its better === Guest7673 is now known as AnRkey [11:34] And is it stable to be used on non-Steam things? [11:34] Unity, for example. [11:34] yeah, works great here [11:35] well, i don't use unity [11:35] LS\MFT: there have been some warnings [11:35] unity slows performance in steam stuff i've heard [11:35] LS\MFT: so be cautious [11:36] Ow [11:36] i never really liked Unity [11:36] I can install another DE to use Steam, anyway. [11:36] XFCE for example. [11:36] hence why i always used MATE [11:36] LS\MFT: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2013-February/035976.html Have a look at that thread on the mailing list [11:36] Oh, Uplink is on Steam and it's available for Linux, lovely! [11:36] but mate isn't supported on ubuntu [11:36] doesnt bother me though :) === tommy_ is now known as Guest82315 [11:37] I have a GeForce 9300M GS [11:37] 3.5 kernel iirc [11:37] ftp connection refused. i have opened the ports from firewall, and install vsftp any tips. [11:37] i tried mate when i installed 12.04, couldn't get used to it. seemed like a bastardization of gnome2 [11:37] The bad thing of MATE are the themes. [11:37] i like it imo, since i always liked gnome [11:37] Because there aren't a lot of themes compatible for both GTK2 and GTK3.

[11:39] thebull: sounds like the device is not bootable [11:39] hello,very one.. [11:40] exit [11:40] thebull: also, i don't think windows 8 will boot in bios mode [11:40] ikonia : i've been using the same pendrive with an older version before.. [11:40] hmm, after struggling to get back into my user account, I no longer have access to internet/network [11:40] not on WiFI, not on Wired [11:40] Ben64: boots on my desktop that doesn't have uefi [11:40] is there a way to force Ubuntu to redetect these ? [11:40] ikonia: but was it installed with uefi enabled? [11:40] thebull: yes, so the new version may not have been installed properly, hence not bootable [11:40] Ben64 : i've changed the boot mode to legacy boot.. [11:41] they are both listed in the top bar as connected, and the system respons when I pull them out/turn them off [11:41] Ben64: my bios doesn't support uefi on that dekstop, it's an old bis [11:41] but they don't "work" [11:41] bios [11:41] ikonia : iinstalled twicw after formatting.. i think prob lies with win8 [11:41] from what i've read, windows 8 from uefi won't boot in bios mode [11:41] Ben64: it installed and booted fine on my old desktop, no uefi, it only has an old bios [11:41] so would have to install ubuntu with uefi enabled, but i'm not sure as I don't buy computers that don't let me do things === HelenCrowley is now known as LS\MFT [11:42] <_dreamer> Hello, I'm not able to find how to manage permissions for a specific group so that it has full permissions to a specific folder [11:42] Ben64 : i'm using 12.04.2 lts it does have uefi support.. [11:42] !permissions | _dreamer [11:42] _dreamer: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:43] <_dreamer> yes === tester is now known as Guest74902 [11:44] <_dreamer> I've read that, however I am confused when it comes to executing this type of command for the group "group" and the folder "folder" [11:44] <_dreamer> how should a command like that be written? [11:44] _dreamer: well what group are you talking about? What permissions? And what folder? [11:44] _dreamer: yeah explain in more detail what you want [11:45] <_dreamer> I have installed an ftp server and want the (lets just call it group) to be able to upload, delete, and read all files in my www folder [11:45] <_dreamer> I have managed to set the root folder to /var/www but I do not understand how to invoke the rights for the group [11:46] <_dreamer> I'm quite new to ubuntu [11:46] _dreamer, did you understand this http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html === AnRkey is now known as Guest29997 [11:47] <_dreamer> Yes, I understand that now the www-data group is the owner of my www folder [11:47] <_dreamer> I only want this group to be able to read from the folder [11:47] you may want to look into sftp or scp to transfer files instead of regular ftp === croppa is now known as croppa_ [11:48] <_dreamer> the ftp group with the user ftp I want to be able to read, write and modify the files in this folder [11:48] _dreamer, what are ur permissions rw-rw-rw- [11:48] then everything would have to be owned by ftp, which is a pretty weird solution [11:49] Ben64, why not use filezilla [11:50] <_dreamer> drwxrwxr-x [11:50] _dreamer, you can start unsecure with " chmod -c 777 * " which would make everything world read/writable [11:50] nearst: that can use sftp, i don't see your point? === Guest29997 is now known as AnRkey_ [11:50] nearst: filezilla is a client, not a protocol [11:51] <_dreamer> when I connect with filezilla I start in the www folder and cannot go back [11:51] <_dreamer> so thats all dandy [11:51] aw.. client with multiprotocol [11:51] <_dreamer> but I cannot delete files [11:51] _dreamer, your files should be accessable then and think it's a user:group configuration fault [11:51] <_dreamer> Ive added a new user and group [11:51] _dreamer: what you're trying to do is likely to be insecure [11:52] <_dreamer> so how should I do it? [11:52] sftp, have the files owned by your user [11:53] _dreamer: setuid [11:53] that's asking for trouble [11:53] <_dreamer> Ive read a guide that says I should add the new ftp user to the group www-data [11:54] <_dreamer> is that secure? [11:54] ftp by itself isn't very secure [11:54] <_dreamer> Indeed [11:54] <_dreamer> but how else am I suppose to remotly manage the content? [11:54] ssh/sftp [11:55] <_dreamer> I use putty on windows [11:55] any resolution to the python2.7-dev installation dependency issue on ubuntu 12.04 amd64? http://pastebin.com/Cjz6XAxM [11:56] thats an ssh client, good start [11:56] <_dreamer> How do I transfer files with putty from my windows machine to my ubuntu server? [11:57] you'd have to get an sftp client, like winscp or filezilla [11:57] _dreamer [11:57] winscp [11:57] filezilla :D [11:57] <_dreamer> I have filzilla [11:57] <_dreamer> filezilla [11:57] filezilla supports sftp? [11:57] yep [11:58] <_dreamer> should I use the ssh port instead of ftp or what? [11:58] yes [11:59] <_dreamer> still can't do anything [11:59] i'm got a macbook air to boot ubuntu 12.04 lived using noacpi=off but if I sleep and try to resume the screen is black..any ideas? [12:00] _dreamer: you have to set yourself as the owner of /var/www and everything within [12:00] <_dreamer> And I do that how and is that not just as insecure? [12:00] sudo chown -R /var/www [12:01] $USER [12:01] vincentS: if you want to be fancy about it [12:01] :P [12:02] hi, I am looking for a program that can rip dvds easily. wanna save some of my dvds on my harddrive and watch them while I am on a journey. [12:02] captain_cook, ffmpeg maybe [12:02] <_dreamer> I run proftpd wich requires me to configure a group and user, should I input the data for my admin account there? [12:02] vincentS: has it got an easy to use GUI? [12:03] ripping dvds is pretty tough, frame rate changes, interlacing, telecine [12:03] Ben64: oh ok... [12:03] ddd [12:03] _dreamer: you wouldn't need proftpd if you use sftp [12:03] captain_cook, no gui there [12:03] <_dreamer> ok === Guest32934 is now known as A2tec [12:04] vincentS: ok.. a pity as I am a pretty beginner.. [12:04] <_dreamer> so I apt-get remove --purge proftpd and install sftp? [12:04] _dreamer: sftp works over ssh, so since you can ssh already, you can sftp === magentar_ is now known as magentar [12:05] captain_cook, ffmpeg -i myfile.vob -target dvd -sameq myfile.mpg pretty easy but let me check for a gui for u [12:05] <_dreamer> not with the ssh port nuber [12:05] hey guys, I just installed ubuntu 12.10 and I'm trying to get a themes for it... can anyone help me out? [12:05] <_dreamer> number [12:05] captain_cook: one of the online linux magazines had an artical on that just last week .. [12:05] _dreamer: you probably have to change the client to use sftp [12:05] vincentS: thank you. [12:05] http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-70/ [12:05] dr_willis: cool [12:06] <_dreamer> holy shit, how do I do that with Filezilla [12:06] <_dreamer> ? [12:06] <_dreamer> XD [12:06] _dreamer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:06] captain_cook: with some of the copy proteted dvds they got out now. I have to use wine and some windows apps sadly [12:06] captain_cook, there is handbrake which is pretty familiar and should have some good support on the net http://danlynch.org/blog/2009/02/handbrake-on-linux/ [12:06] captain_cook: dvdfab does work in wine for me. [12:07] captain_cook, or dvdrip http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ [12:07] Can someone help me with regards to themes on ubuntu 12.10 ? [12:07] dr_willis: ahh.. ok.. just switched from windows to linux.. lol.. and do not want to go back anymore.. ;) [12:08] captain_cook: for ripping some of these annoying protected dvds ive not found an alternative to dvdfab. yet [12:08] dr_willis: thank you [12:08] i find it easier to download movies than ripping them :| [12:08] vincentS: thanks a lot.. [12:08] Ben64, agreed. [12:09] captain_cook, have you conciderd just taking them as .iso [12:09] Ben64: Yep. But the wife allready has the disks.. and I couldent find Love Boat Season2 anywhere else. ;) [12:09] Lol! [12:09] i own a ton of movies, but don't really use the discs ever [12:10] Ben64, dr_willis, could you guys please help me get themes going on my ubuntu 12.10 [12:10] i just have the discs so the downloads arent illegal :D haha ( You lair ) [12:11] i don't think its legal to rip discs either :P [12:11] It's legal to make backups. [12:11] vincentS: .iso would do.. yes... [12:11] synju: but not to bypass copy protection [12:11] Lol. [12:11] synju: I just grab the themes from differnt ppa sites like the webupd8 ones.. they tend to be the best looking ones out.. they got guides on getting them setup also [12:11] True. [12:11] Ben64, in my country it is cause i can have as much backups as i want since dvd is not a forever data carrier [12:12] look at what happened when decss came out [12:12] captain_cook, then u could just iso them much easier and maintain the dvd menu structure [12:12] can you give me an example link of a ppa site? [12:12] Disney said once that if you got 5 kids watching Toy Story - you are supposed to own 5 copies of the disk also... ;) [12:12] vincentS: ok.. how? [12:12] synju: the webupd8 blog site has one [12:12] vincentS: with one of your programs suggested? [12:13] * synju googles [12:13] captain_cook, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso [12:13] wow i thought it was just slang [12:13] k tnx brb! [12:14] vincentS: huh? :) [12:14] captain_cook, dd is pretty easy if = say inputfile of= say output file thats it [12:16] captain_cook: again. depending on the disks.. that dd trick might not work. [12:17] then all u have to do to watch is mount the iso with mount -o loop file.iso /media/iso [12:17] vincentS: oh I got it.. I will try.. thank you. [12:18] hello friends.. i have problem to install the Flash Player in ubuntu 12.04 [12:18] Hi all [12:18] !flash | deejy [12:18] deejy: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:18] dr_willis, how does dd not work that way it copies bit by bit right all protection is copied aswell am i wrong [12:19] vincentS: some of the new dvds out have a very annoying copy protection that keeps stuff from getting read correctly. [12:19] vincentS: i have legal dvds that do not play in a legal dvd player - due to its age. [12:19] vincentS: look for a little dvd anti-copy icon on the back of the dvd boxs. [12:20] ubottu, thanks [12:20] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [12:20] I definatly have several disks that dd could not copy them properly. dvdfab couldent do some of them.. Not tried a newer dvd fab on them yet [12:22] dr_willis, hmm i thought dvd protection was a little outdated but then again i don't own many dvds now a days mostly is streamed from the web [12:22] but good to know there still trying [12:22] vincentS: this is a new form they keep alterning.. been in use for a year or more now [12:22] you cant even play some of these dvds on a pc.. without somthing like dvdfab [12:23] dr_willis: the issuers are restricting our rights! [12:23] well that's not nice [12:23] dr_willis, i always liked dvd_encrypter bbut don't know if that is available for *unix [12:24] the dvd is my property and I should be able to store it however I like, right? [12:24] yes [12:25] hhahaha sony is announcing the playstation4 with lots of promisses like there was linux on ps3 but now theres not. [12:25] You have no rights what so ever ever....

[12:51] yes you can set grub2 to 'hide' [12:52] when you don't have any other operating systems, grub2 defaults to booting immediately and without the menu ever showing [12:52] belgianguy: belgianguy look in /etc/default/grub [12:52] belgianguy, i just checked and i have /boot/grub === kloeri_ is now known as kloeri [12:52] vincentS: you do have grub.. its just hiding its menu [12:52] belgianguy, and no settings changed everything is default here [12:53] Hi [12:53] what is the best tool for create live ubuntu usb drive ? [12:53] hello [12:53] anyone familiar with reserve space for raid hdds? [12:53] ok, since I'll format the drive that'll be fine then [12:53] kjazdh: one that works for you. not all have gthe same featreset [12:54] can i use it all? [12:54] use tune2fs to my benefit? [12:54] I also saw some people partition space for /, /boot, /var recently, is that common? [12:54] like tune2fs -m 0 /dev/md0 [12:54] (that was a CentOS server) [12:54] Ntemis: since the "reserve" is a filesystem-thing, yes, tune2fs -m is ok [12:54] dr_willis> dont understand .wich tool [12:55] will it remove metadata? [12:55] belgianguy, this depends on your own preferance you could easly replace/backup partitions this way [12:55] belgianguy: I only see the point in separate / and /home partitions, the others are a throwback to poor filesystems [12:55] Ntemis: no [12:55] belgianguy, but i have 1 partition only / [12:55] llutz: will i be able to recover from raid5 -1 hdd fail? [12:55] kjazdh: i use the tools from the pendrivelinux site... thers dozens of tools out there [12:55] ahh, so it's more a nicety for a server ? [12:55] Ntemis: what does that have to do with root-reserved space? [12:56] isnt there that metadata is kept? [12:56] what metadata? [12:56] just when my system fails, Ubuntu Forum offline :/ [12:56] for the raid information and structure [12:56] am I here or did I just get disconnected again ? [12:56] belgianguy, yea separate your home from your / would be good imo [12:56] long live Google Cache === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [12:57] Haris, is here [12:57] vincentS: and are those partitions, then? or something else [12:57] hi #ubuntu. I'm having frequent disconnects on remmina 0.9.99.1 running ubuntu 12.10. is there a fix or a workaround? [12:58] belgianguy, disks partitions what u like you can assign a whole disk to /home and another to / or 1 disk with 2 partiton where one is / the other /home [12:58] belgianguy, and don;'t forget some swap space [12:59] also a partition or disk but suggest a partition since it only needs around 1 or 2 Gb [12:59] Real men don't have swap space [12:59] wubino, hey, sorry something was wrong with my xchat... My question: I cant seem to get the theme I installed to display in the Appearance app [12:59] true but my netbook only supports 2 Gb RAM [13:00] sorry not familiar with the Appearance app [13:00] a little extra for virtualbox is needed :D [13:00] Are scopes and lenses language agnostic? [13:01] wubino, ok, anyone else? [13:01] what's ideal swap space, 2x RAM? [13:02] belgianguy: if you intend to hibernate swap>RAM, if not, a 500MB swapfile is more than enough [13:02] that depends i guess on ur usage if u have 8Gb ram swap is probably useless [13:04] vincentS: I only have 2 GB :( [13:04] Hi, Does anybody know how can I install microsoft office 2013 in ubuntu 12.10?

Folks [13:20] ikillcypher, check http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool for windows on usb [13:20] I am trying to get my Behringer Amp to work with Wine, but can't seam to get the usb to recognize the amp. It shows in the lsusb from the terminal [13:21] * ikillcypher is using Ubuntu [13:21] I want to burn WIndows 7 professional x86 [13:22] grab a ligther and start burning it [13:22] :P [13:22] * ikillcypher is not used to linux :( [13:22] it just wont work for me the more I want it too [13:22] trust me 10 years of windows and 2 days of linux [13:23] bananahammock: use seds in place edit switch -i [13:23] ikillcypher: search for "winusb". [13:23] bananahammock: that will edit the file directly [13:23] ikillcypher: it will let you burn a Windows 7 DVD to a USB drive (and boot/install from the usb later). [13:24] bananahammock: you are never actually editing the file [13:24] How do I install plugins on firefox globally on a machine that I have multiple computers booting from it via diskless boot?

[13:31] thanks matt_symes it works [13:31] np bananahammock :) [13:32] What would be the fastest way to read/write to another disk on another machine over the network [13:32] ikillcypher: That does not sound like a legal copy [13:32] * ikillcypher got it from his CD [13:32] I rip it off [13:33] ikillcypher: I'll not help you then [13:33] Eagleman_: dd + gzip + netcat I guess :D === ident is now known as Guest2756 [13:33] MasterOfDisaster: i mean, its for always, some sort of storage server [13:34] Eagleman_: backup? enterprisey? [13:34] wtf [13:34] Eagleman_: if both no: rsync [13:34] I am making several virtual machine on kvm with there own roles, like a file server and a web server. The web server should acces a partition on the file server and read and write to it. [13:35] Eagleman_: ok - so not just filetransfer. [13:35] MasterOfDisaster: i dont think i need all of those, i want to mount a remote disk [13:35] Eagleman_: what's wrong with NFSv4 then? [13:35] exactly [13:36] Never used NFS, does it achieve near speeds compared with the disk itself? === Neptu is now known as _0971 [13:36] Eagleman_: there's *always* network latency [13:37] MasterOfDisaster: Every guest OS is on the same machine [13:37] If you want to keep VM images in sync across multiple hypervisors, have a look at DRBD and (perhaps) ganeti. [13:38] so you guys are not helping me at all [13:38] I'm just seperating servers / services for security and learning [13:39] ikillcypher, dd if=/path/to/windows.iso of=/dev/sdX where X is ur flash drive be sure that is has a bootable partition [13:39] Eagleman_: you shouldn't let your hypervisors do anything else than hosting VMs. Put publicly accessible services elsewhere. [13:39] MasterOfDisaster: this is a home situation [13:40] The hypervisor itself only hosts VM's, i'm talking about what the VM's will be doing [13:41] oh, I'm sorry. I missed that [13:41] MasterOfDisaster: Lets say i run a web server only for web things, i mount a disk ok /var/www which is located on the same physical machine but on another guest OS , so i mount 192.168.1.12/disk/wwebsite on /var/www [13:41] unetbootin only allows build ISO ? [13:41] You'r saying NFS will do the job? [13:42] ikillcypher, no you could write iso to disk aswell [13:42] Eagleman_: yes, it will. NFSv4 is the way to go for linux filesharing. [13:42] i've got two chromium windows that have disappeared, by clicking on the side dock i can get them to appear in a "zoomed out" mode, but clicking on them does not bring them to the foreground [13:43] what window tricks are there to display a hidden window? [13:43] Is there also a way of bypassing the switch and let all this network traffic travel on the hypervisor only? === iorweth_away is now known as iorweth [13:44] this is driving me nuts [13:44] ok.. how am i supposed to click and drag a window.. i can't click on it in either monitor [13:45] if i click and drag it just disappears, [13:45] crashes? or what [13:45] it's not crashed [13:45] it's just not visiable [13:46] unless i click on the side dock and hold the mouse down, and it appears in this zoomed out lets see all the windows this app has open mode [13:46] you can drag things from that unity expose mode that zooms out [13:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582831 [13:46] dr_willis: doesn't work [13:46] Which port does apt-get use?

[13:46] and then disappears [13:46] jpds, thanks :) [13:46] ikillcypher: and bruning app should work. [13:47] hmm i give up, killed it, restarted seems to be working [13:47] any burning...

[13:55] belgianguy, eSata 1 2 or 3 [13:55] my esata is much faster than usb 2.0 [13:55] Squarepy: no idea, it started out at 20MB/s [13:55] now its almost down to 3 === zz_HEYEAYEAYEAYE is now known as HEYEAYEAYEAYEA [13:56] and it steadily drops, not recovering [13:57] hat file system is it writing to [13:57] just local? [13:57] what [13:57] belgianguy: big partition on NTFS? [13:57] from ext3 to ext4 [13:57] 80 GB ext4 external HDD [13:57] ikillcypher, did that do it for you? [13:58] (I'm backing up my home dir) [13:58] well should be something, cause even sata 1.0 is twice as fast as usb 2.0 [13:58] belgianguy: lots of little files then? That can make a difference [13:59] somsip: yeah, lots of little files, but you'd expect it to recoup some speed [13:59] it's at 2.9 MB/s now [13:59] belgianguy: how do you copy the files? [14:00] yogg: through nautilus from folder to folder [14:00] belgianguy: I only know that big files are usually quicker to copy than little ones. You using rsync?...Oh Nautilus...hmmm [14:01] guys what is sudo fdisk -l ?? [14:01] rsync would be the better solution, but I don't think it would be faster. [14:01] ikillcypher: shows what disks are attached [14:01] atm I'm anticipating the transfer speed to peter out around 0 and then I can start over [14:01] use dd will make my usb bootable [14:02] tbh my system is borked completely, unity doesn't work anymore and the network software is defect as well [14:02] so all in all I'm happy it can still copy things [14:02] dd images to the usb.. if yhe image is a bootable disk it will [14:02] I've never had it go this bad [14:03] hey, is there a way to just wipe all my personal data on an install and set it up ready for someone else to use? (without doing a complete reinstall) [14:03] my sympathy belgianguy === tuxinator_ is now known as tuxinator [14:03] Chib, what is personal 'home'? [14:04] belgianguy: you can also try to create an dd image of your home folder (if it is on a seperate partition) that would be 1 sequential read/write that should be much faster [14:04] hmm, i guess, tbh i'm not sure as i haven't used it in a while [14:04] yogg: in the current install (which lasted me years) /home isn't on a seperate partition, in the new one it will be [14:05] an old EeePC i'm giving to my dad and it's a nighmare to reinstall things s: [14:05] would the order of partitions matter? [14:05] like if you ever wanted to extend one [14:05] which is the most logical order, or is there a set order to create them in? [14:05] Chib: you could add a new user and vape the old user home. Depends if you saved anything out of home though... [14:06] Chib: start that installation, create a new user (dad), make him sudoer (sudo adduser dad sudo), then login once as "dad" and remove your old user and his home [14:06] ^^ [14:06] hmm, that sounds good, cool thanks guys [14:06] belgianguy: swap should be at the beginning because the hdd is faster there (on ssd it does not matter). [14:07] yogg: ahh, good to know, I always placed it last until now :$ [14:07] I have 3 vlan interfaces on a 20 systems. And on boot they will randomly come up with differnt routing tables (all setup the same). What can I do to make sure they always come up with the same routing? [14:07] yogg, on ssd I prefer not to have swap [14:07] belgianguy: you won't see any practical difference, swap always will be slow [14:08] but I don't have an SSD yet:) [14:08] llutz: yeah, true [14:08] Booted into win8 after a long time, was forced to run system update, rebooted couple of times, and later couldn't see grub option. Booted into LiveCD, ran boot-repair. Now I cannot boot into either of my os (Win8 and 12.10 64 bit) [14:08] any help is appreciated [14:08] satish efi? [14:08] yup [14:08] belgianguy: if you want to manage many partitions and resize them you should use lvm. Makes live easy ^^ [14:08] did boot-repair detected that [14:09] yes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572798/ [14:09] yogg: yeah, I've been looking into lvm for my server side project [14:09] that was from my last boot-repair run [14:09] what would be a good size for home on a 302 GB disk? [14:10] I'm a developer, so I do install a lot of thngs [14:10] Squarepy: if you want standby on disk you need the swap. But yes swap on ssd is not good ^^ [14:11] yogg, sleep/hibernate is also bad for ssd :) [14:11] tbh my current installation couldn't hibernate [14:11] nor could you close the lid [14:11] lightdm would poop out [14:11] Squarepy: why should sleep affect a ssd? [14:11] when I search in vim by typing /somestring, how can I stay at the place where search found. It come back to the original place after typing 'Esc' [14:12] belgianguy: i have 15GB root and 80 GB home. I have Eclipse for php, java and c++ and some virtual windows drives [14:12] Hello, there is any way to create a similar ReadyBoost USB for Ubuntu? [14:12] llutz, you're right, sleep doesn't write a lot [14:12] Squarepy: it doesn't write anything [14:12] kk [14:13] satish, what master record supports so many partitions? [14:13] i did chown username /dir/ but it still says i'm not the owner... [14:14] CrazyGangster: linux has a preloading features allready.. no need for readyboost gimicks [14:14] jayar: what filesystem? [14:14] jayar ls -ld dirname and look [14:14] but a clean disk should also clear some stuff up I accumulated over the years [14:14] there's a Windows 7 installation there somewhere [14:15] Squarepy: see line "105 GUID Partition Table detected" [14:15] hero100: press enter when you have the match you want. Then press n to cycle to next match [14:15] its a wordpress directory, hmm... its owned by www-data [14:15] so i gotta chgrp? [14:15] guys how to know which is my USB Drive ? [14:15] Squarepy, i did the partitioning some time back, I don't recollect but I am sure gparted had something todo with it :) [14:15] /dev/sdb1 < ?? [14:15] dr_willis: that "preloading features" are just swap? [14:15] somsip: Great! Thank you. [14:15] chown user:group file [14:16] CrazyGangster: no [14:16] jayar: WP is particular about the owner and a solution is to chown www-data and chgrp {user}.

[15:03] how do you fix broken dependencies? [15:03] sup. hi ppl [15:04] nibbler: owncloud is for file sharing, what about email? [15:05] I have bought built a new machine at home with an ASUS P8Z77v-Deluxe motherboard, Intel i7 3770K and attached a single 120GB corsair SSD for Ubuntu 12.10 and 3 x 3TB WD Green drives configured with RAID 5 from the onboard Intel RAID controller. [15:05] HOwever when I install Ubuntu I can only see 1.4TB of disc space. [15:05] The rest of the RAID volume cannot be seen. [15:05] I don't know how to overcome this. [15:06] sruli: read what i said [15:06] I am not by my machine now so can't test things right now. [15:06] !find aa-complain | kwtm [15:06] kwtm: File aa-complain found in apparmor-utils [15:06] sruli: and owncloud is way more, eg calendar, adresses, etc [15:06] SAngeli: Have you tried testing the ISO on a different machine? Have you tried testing it in a virtual machine? Have you tried downloading the ISO from a different mirror? [15:06] Marky_, for one, many ppl say those green drives are not appropriate for raid. there's going to be problems. Secondly, youve created the raid in the cards bios and it sees all the drives? [15:07] Green drives are fine for RAID. I checked with WD and they were cheaper than Red. The later are sold as RAID preferred because under continuous testing they last longer, no other reason WD told me. [15:08] The onboard RAID controller creates a volume providing capacity just under 2 drives which is correct. [15:08] SAngeli: On that note, have you tested it on a boat? Have you tested it with a goat? Have you tested it in a box? Have you tested it with a fox? [15:08] Marky_, and you created a GPT partition table? [15:09] bluekaj: sorry for late reply, im at work. Im reinstalling ubuntu cause i severly cripped my desktop (it was a new install anyway). But in the sound properties there was no HDMI option, just the laptop speakers [15:10] I created the RAID, inserted my install memory stick and started the machine. When I came to the partition creation window I asked it to create a new partition table and then it couuld only see 1.4TB. I see no other options in the install program. [15:10] how do I open a bin file ? [15:10] when I already click allow it to be excuted > [15:10] WD reds have firmware that are raid-aware. made for it. WD green drives can shut themselves off when not in use to save power. this can ruin the array. Although, I understand you might be able to make a change to the drives to prevent the shutdown [15:11] anyone kinda urgent [15:11] ikillcypher: you can double click on it, or run it from a terminal: $ ./filename.bin [15:11] Those points aside, where is the option to see the full capacity of the drive? [15:11] for volume sizes larger than 2.1TB, you should use the GPT partititon type [15:12] through cobbler I'v specified the preseed file in the kickstart options for the relevant cobbler profile -> Kickstart : /var/www/cobbler/ks/preseed-12.04lts.erb <- This doesn't seem to be correct since the 12.04lts netboot installer is not picking up the preseed file from the pxe [15:12] and if you want to boot froma volume larger than 2.1TB, you need a UEFI bios [15:12] ./unetbootin-linux-494: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [15:12] I don't boot from the RAID.

[15:44] !ebox [15:44] zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [15:44] clb: It ought to have come with a program called Xlaunch, run that and select fullscreen. [15:44] sruli: ^^ see above [15:44] clb: you can use the windows key to get back to the desktop [15:44] sruli: but as i said, better to take the hard way once [15:44] brightspark: ok, done that [15:44] shelbydz: it would seem the time/date applet is sensitive [15:44] shelbydz: i have achieved what i wanted to do now [15:44] holstein: unfortunately there is no export/save as tiny option. And for some reason I couldnt send any messages to #inkscape, so I came here... === Err404NotFound is now known as Error404NotFound [15:45] shelbydz: thanks for the help [15:45] brightspark: it asks "Start no client", "Start a program", "Open session via XDMCP" [15:45] sruli: I use nano [15:45] Still, learn the command line on a task by task basis. It will eventually add up. Otherwise you will always be dependent on a crutch.

[15:46] clb: I generally start no client from within vcxsrv; I use putty [15:46] A script that I needed to run created a user in ubuntu how do I list where its gone and created its /home/ directory so that I can install some ssh keys possibly. [15:46] chamunks: getent passwd [15:47] mdraid 5 disk creation / 6 disk assembly pastebin here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5573624/ [15:47] clb: if Xlaunch gives you more options, just choose the defaults [15:47] llutz, awesome thanks alot that did the trick perfectly I couldnt figure out what to google to get that some solutions must be too simple for me to find on google lol [15:48] brightspark: ok, I started xlaunch with "Start no client". I got a black screen. Should I then SSH connect to the linux box with putty? [15:48] clb: then once it's going, open putty, and in the left hand side go to Connection>SSH and click the checkbox to enable x11 forwarding. [15:50] brightspark: ok, did that. Any other options that need to be edited? [15:50] I'm going to have to kill and re-create this damned array again ,aren't I? Seems like all I've done the last two days is watch empty disks restripe themselves.... [15:50] clb: just the location of the computer to log into but it sounds like you got that sorted out. [15:51] is it possible to install a package for such as raring ringtail in quantal quetzal? i'm interested in an up-to-date package for clang (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clang), which is 3.0 for qq, but 3.2 for rr. any ideas? [15:51] ingsoc: Was it changing back when you closed the time window? [15:51] sruli: maybe also worth a look http://www.tine20.org/home.html (no experience with it, just saw a news announcement about it) [15:51] tcarter: you can try it, though i would look for a PPA, or just build it yourself [15:52] brightspark: ok.

[15:54] contstanly every few times im getting System problem detected and that other abrt dialog [15:54] ingsoc: ahh. makes sense. [15:54] tcarter: its not supported here to do that.. so i would just check in on how to install a .deb package.. though, you'll need the dependencies, and you *can* break your system === frenezulo is now known as benjameno [15:54] brightspark: it says "No protocol specified" [15:54] ANyone?

[15:56] Anyone have any ideas how to log into a server that is high load.. login freezes and doesn't complete. I'd really prefer not to reboot it [15:56] clb: I've actually got to dash to class now so I can't stay further; look at the vcxsrv icon in the systray and see if it tells you where the display is.

[15:57] It's stupid, because I can connect to every app on the thing without a problem... but the OS won't respond via shell [15:57] holstein, Nope, can't log in remote or local [15:57] fglrxinfo says this: http://paste2.org/3010612 [15:58] holstein: ^ [15:58] holstein, I suspect it is because we have a bash profile that asks the system a bunch of information and puts it on login header... which we obviously need to disable for the local terminals [15:59] I have a noticiable lag in animations and such [15:59] it's possible that the kernel driver doesn't load? [15:59] Jezarith: im getting a 404 on that URL, and i need to run, but remembering our last enounter, i would just purge the proprietary ATI driver and reinstall [15:59] Juest: you added that kernel module manually, so yes, anything is possible [16:00] Got a question, when I plug in my USB hard drive, a GEdit window pops up saying I don't have permissions necessary to open the file. [16:00] holstein, wrong perosn for that one ;p [16:00] Jezarith: appologies.. Juest ^^ [16:00] @all - having a little bit of confusion with makefiles and pdebuild (20 hours of banging my head against a wall).. the issue seems to be that the DESTDIR is not being passed to the makefile.. so when i attempt to do cp $(DESTDIR) etc, it gives a permission denied error.. but i cant understand why it wouldnt be passed. Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated [16:00] holstein: i haven't, the ati installer did [16:01] holstein: why 404 lol [16:01] Juest: the end result is, a custom added kernel module that you have chosen to maintain on your own [16:02] hello all, is btrfs supported in 12.04 for production ?

[16:04] Jeeez [16:04] Kernel update messed the fglrx [16:05] and i can't uninstall [16:05] says one or more files altered [16:05] Juest: you maintain the module manually.. when you go "outside" the repo packages, you chose to "alter" those packages [16:05] My desktop doesn't load after updating (and after the post-release and experimental graphics card drivers failed to install). When I turn the computer on I get a command line instead of the normal desktop log-in screen. Where's the best place to ask for help?

I tried following this, but it doesn't work for me: http://bkdonline.wordpress.com/2009/05/21/changing-drive-permission-in-ubuntu-through-gui/ [16:06] Juest: i would purge the installed drive, and reintall it, creating (again) the kernel module.. OR, just reinstall and boot the older kernel that you already setup... OR, install the supported driver from the repos [16:06] dbolton: probably you are not in the proper runlevel [16:07] !patience [16:07] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[16:12] !btrfs [16:12] Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [16:12] I can still install packages with aptitude and apt, but dpkg doesn't work at all [16:12] !xfs [16:12] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [16:12] Which is the best fs? [16:12] ext?

I want to input my ssh passfrase once on pc startup. [16:14] irosi: i use ext on / [16:14] Juest: I like ext3 for / because it is more stable than XFS in my experience.

That's already installed and I prefer CLI [16:26] irosi: Be sure to make a full backup of your data first. Clonezilla is a good tool for making full clones to a disk image. [16:26] irosi: you might need to resize the / too, so it's better livecd because nothing is in use [16:27] yay, on the fresh machine again [16:27] Juest, the resolution should be 1366x768 at least, I have an ATI graphic card [16:27] Then resize the partitions.

Could I umount -l /boot and /home, shrink /home by 300MB, and then grow /boot by 300MB?

[16:29] SonikkuAmerica: Yes, unless Xorg was updated [16:29] Hello. I've got an Olympus Voice Recorder (VN-7600) but this crap doesn't have usb connection (haha). So the only way to transfer my records is to use a jack that i plug to the "ear" output in my olympus, to my "mic" input of my asus eeepc... And record it with audacity [16:29] SonikkuAmerica: Kernel did broke [16:29] Juest, It crashes very frequently for me. anyway, can you suggest any workaround this problem ? Its really irritating :( [16:29] xsl: Is that dpkg -l? [16:29] xsl, not exactly. I plug the thing in, it mounts, and I can't even read the root directory. [16:30] am I carelessly using apt? usually I use pacman or BSD ports (since I am used to Arch and FreeBSD) [16:30] irosi: which 3? [16:30] xsl: Is that dpkg -l? [16:30] irosi: shouldn't install 3 kernels [16:30] dragonfly: Get the flgrx from amd [16:30] irosi: You could remove unused kernels to free up space. [16:30] Juest, ok, will try installing that too [16:30] SonikkuAmerica, dpkg -l lists all packages on your system ... and grep will filter it [16:30] mr_chris: I have already done that with all unnecessary kernels [16:30] dragonfly: and that's the propietary drivers [16:30] xsl, I see what you're getting at. Ubuntu can't natively read NTFS file systems? [16:30] irosi: which kernels did it install [16:30] I always succeed to have a correct sound but today, nothing great.

[16:32] dragonfly: btw, im suffering a problem with drivers, kernel update broke libgl/fglrx/acceleration (desktop is laggy) [16:32] Juest: That's a good question. It seems like your Catalyst driver is broken. :( [16:32] since I removed the other kernels I can't be sure ikonia , but it installed a generic 12.04 kernel that I believe was 3.5*, a 3.2* kernel, and the most recent image-3.5-* in the Ubuntu repos [16:33] anyone know the equivelent of cat, that give you up down scroll thru action for looking at logs.

[16:40] SonikkuAmerica, the first chunk is the contents of Mule, which is the USB drive, then I did another ls-l to show the permissions of Mule itself.

[16:45] Hi there, I'm trying to set up Ubuntu 12.10 and Win8 in a dual boot situation, had to disable secure boot in order to boot the disk, but when it came to partitioning the installer did not detect Win8 OS on the system and wanted to erase the whole drive, anybody know a solution to this? [16:45] xsl the user is me. I am plugging in a USB hard drive with the volume name of "Mule". IT shows up as mounted on my little taskbar thingy. I click on it, and a gedit window opens saying "Could not open the file /media/mjoseph/Mule. You do not have the permissions necessary to open the file. [16:45] Mutter doesn't work [16:46] darkhelmet46: Where was the last place you used the USB drive? [16:46] darkhelmet46, your using Unity? [16:46] airlynx: Choose manual [16:46] airlynx: and use 64bits 12.10 === ViVaLaRock is now known as LaRock [16:46] SonikkuAmerica, in a Windows 7 OS. xsl, Yes. [16:47] darkhelmet46: Did you "safely remove" it? [16:47] Juest, if I choose manual will Grub be able to detect win8 later? [16:47] Question, I was running ubuntu on my secondary laptop, which has no battery life left. When ubuntu was shutting down my laptop lost power and now when I go to turn it on I don't get anything on the screen. Doesn't show a boot screen or anything, but the power lights come on. Any ideas on how to go about fixing this? [16:47] airlynx: maybe, grub entry have a condition "script"' [16:47] darkhelmet46, so instead of opening nautilus... your opening gedit? [16:47] how to make a flash memory bootable (it's an iso file i should put it on a flash memory) [16:47] SonikkuAmerica, define "safely" ;) j/k, actually I removed it after shutting down the computer. [16:47] medeng963: I assume it's plugged in now? [16:48] darkhelmet46: I mean the little menu in the Win 7 systray [16:48] xsl, no, I am not that much of a noob. :) [16:48] Finding via uefi otherwise search for it :P [16:48] darkhelmet46: Oh. In that case, I hope it unmounted correctly. [16:48] darkhelmet46, instead of pressing the icon that appears with the usb mount.. open nautilus yourself and browse to the USB device [16:48] xsl, tried that too, same thing. [16:49] darkhelmet46, the thing that is cracking my head is "why gedit shows" [16:49] yeah, when i turn it on all the indication lights come on, but nothing beyond that. the caps lock light flashes at one second intervals... so looks like its stuck before getting to a boot menu [16:49] How do i uninstall faulty fglrx? ( can't use amd-uninstall.sh or fglrx-uninstall.sh) [16:49] @SonikkuAmerica: It reinstalls, but it's still the same. [16:49] airlynx: Hopefully it does... if not, boot into Ubuntu after it's done installing and run sudo update-grub in a terminal. [16:50] How do i do? [16:50] SonikkuAmerica, ok so I booted up a Windows box next to me, plugged the drive in, and it reads/writes ok. I ejected it safely, and plugged it back into the Ubuntu box. Same issues. [16:50] darkhelmet46: OK, we can rule that out at least... [16:50] xsl, apparently that's what happens when you don't have permissions to read the file or folder. [16:50] darkhelmet46, does your USB disk have a special partition that stores an .exe or autorun ? [16:50] can someone help me? === rrittenhouse_ is now known as rrittenhouse [16:50] i never seen that to be honest [16:50] Should I create an empty partition for Linux before booting the installer, or should I do it in the installer? [16:51] anyone? === cl0ak is now known as cloakd [16:51] xsl, no there isn't a special partition. And here's the kicker, I used the thing in Ubuntu before. Dunno why it's not working anymore. [16:51] airlynx: If you don't have one, you should at least define an ext4 partition. [16:52] airlynx: The installer will do the job if you select "Something else" [16:53] okay, I'll give it a shot, if all else fails I do have recovery disks, lol [16:53] xsl, sorry I lied before. I thought I did try opening Nautilis and browsing to the USB drive, instead of clicking on the icon in Unity, but I just tried it again and it works. [16:53] darkhelmet46: Can you read/write to it OK? [16:54] darkhelmet46, so the problem is the binding of that button ... for some reason it thinks it can open a folder using gedit [16:54] and gedit its like notepad or vim [16:54] Hi guys, i have created a cifs mount for a windows share on Ubuntu 12.04LTS now when i try to write to this mount, i get a permission denied, please help. [16:54] please help. [16:55] what can be the problem? [16:55] xsl, shit sorry i lied again. I forgot I had a Nautilus window running as Sudo. THAT works. But I closed it and opened it as a normal user and when I click on the USB drive, it says Could not display /media/mjoseph/Mule. The location is not a folder. [16:55] Who can give me the names of the packages handling keyboard mapping for the desktop ? === resba|Sleep is now known as resba [16:56] xsl, actually it is happening with my Windows7 partition too.

[16:57] xsl and SonikkuAmerica: Are we having FUN yet? :D [16:58] Juest, I just fixed the resolution problem by resetting unity and compiz and rebooting in an older kernel. [16:58] dragonfly, you rock. [16:58] darkhelmet46, wen you executed "dpkg -l|grep ntfs" what did it show ? [16:59] darkhelmet46, not really, I believe its the kernel actually causing problem. I booted into .19 and everything is fine again. [16:59] darkhelmet46: xsl, shit sorry i lied again. I forgot I had a Nautilus window running as Sudo. THAT works. But I closed it and opened it as a normal user and when I click on the USB drive, it says Could not display /media/mjoseph/Mule. The location is not a folder. <<< because you left off the ending / [17:00] xsl, it shows ii ntfs-3g 1:2012.1.15AR.5-4ubuntu3 [17:00] darkhelmet46: Either that, or you clicked on the DEVICE rather than the mounted DIRECTORY [17:01] SonikkuAmerica, yes I clicked the Device. I do not see a mounted directory? === King is now known as Guest92188 [17:01] hi artists [17:01] darkhelmet46: Do this: cd /media/ && ls [17:02] i often see "Open the Software Sources menu by launching the Ubuntu Software Center and selecting Edit->Software Sources. Choose the Other Software tab and click Add.", but I can't find that in Ubuntu 12.10. How is this done ? [17:02] ok I am in /media and contents are a folder called mjoseph [17:02] the drive should be mounted in /media/mjoseph/Mule [17:02] (i know how to find the software center) [17:02] darkhelmet46: OK, then cd mjoseph [17:02] darkhelmet46: and then ls again [17:03] SonikkuAmerica, Permission denied. :O [17:03] darkhelmet46: As root? [17:03] Has anyone used Bouml? [17:04] SonikkuAmerica, as root it works. So I need to chmode /media/mjoseph instead of /media/mjoseph/Mule like I was doing before? [17:04] chmod* [17:04] darkhelmet46: Yes. sudo chmod 777 /media/mjoseph/ [17:04] darkhelmet46: Oh no wait... you can't do that. [17:05] darkhelmet46: File system mismatch: NTFS vs. ext4 [17:05] SonikkuAmerica, you think I should plug the thing into a Windows box and mess with permissions there instead? [17:05] darkhelmet46: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,umask=000 /media/mjoseph/Mule [17:06] darkhelmet46: Your chmod commands aren't working because of that. Check out llutz's suggestion above. [17:07] llutz, didn't work. :( [17:07] how does one unlock the experimental driver of AMD in 12.10? [17:07] I've activated pre-release updates (shudder) [17:08] and now I am looking in the "Other drivers" tab, but there is only the opensource one, fglrx, fglrx-updates [17:08] no experimental one [17:08] llutz, Clarification. It doesn't work in Nautilus, same error as before, but I can browse the directory in Terminal as a normal user. [17:09] darkhelmet46: refresh nautilus [17:09] Hi ? [17:10] lluts, how?

It has a Core i7 with the HD 4000 Intel GPU as well as an Nvidia GeForce GT 650m. I can't seem to get the nVidia GPU to use the proprietary nVidia drivers. I've tried installing nvidia-current, which seems to install successfully but when I tell X.Org to use driver "nvidia" X fails to load nvidia, loads nouveau instead and X fails to start. [18:04] can anyone help me get my ultrabook to dual boot win 8 and ubuntu secure remix [18:04] Any ideas? :| [18:04] I've also tried downloading the driver package from nvidia.com.. [18:04] That seems to get me further through the process. It comes with nvidia-xconfig.. However, still, X.Org won't work with nvidia drivers :( [18:04] chi mi puo aiutare [18:04] i have tried for four days - boot-repair reports successful, but whenever i try to boot ubuntu it consistently gets stuck at loading initial ramdisk [18:04] i want to know if the ubuntu (in particular xubuntu) installation disk offers the possibility to create and resize ntfs partitions [18:04] darkhelmet46: it does, but you can look and see what kernel you are using.. you can open a terminal and type "uname -a" and hit "enter" and note "pae" in the name [18:05] As a result, Ubuntu is *extremely* slow when it has to draw graphics and since the nVidia GPU is powered on the entire time, the MacBook Pro gets extremely hot.. [18:05] i want to know if the ubuntu (in particular xubuntu) installation disk offers the possibility to create and resize ntfs partitions [18:05] hi is it possible to change de background color in nautilus ? i would like more contrast between the main panel andthe sidebar and turn it darker too [18:05] holstein, it just says Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic [18:06] eggi67: yes [18:06] holstein, ok, ty [18:06] darkhelmet46: whats the issue? [18:06] holstein, just confused, it doesn't have PAE in the name, that's all [18:07] darkhelmet46: sure.. but in the big scheme, whats the issue? are you getting support for all your ram? [18:08] holstein, it seems like I am. When I run task manager or look in About This Computer, it sees 8GB, I guess I just wanted to be sure. [18:09] darkhelmet46: "free -m" is what i would run, in the terminal [18:09] darkhelmet46: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAyNzM [18:10] holstein, yep looks good. thanks1 :) [18:11] troulouliou_dev: why not use another theme?

[18:36] ohh ok [18:36] dn4, you can also use dd to overwrite a patch you don't want to use anymore [18:36] lost me there with dd [18:36] but there are some bleaching programs available as well, which erase free space [18:36] bleachbit IIRC [18:36] No, but the the ISO will install and run under it...

[18:45] But it's still going to ask for a product key? [18:46] You may have your reason but you will need to script it [18:47] And that ISO is still WIN OS, but can run on-top-of PlayOnLinux...

[19:52] when I run LANG=es_MX.UTF-8 ./program.py I get Gdk-warning ** locale not supported by C library. How do I run program.py with a different locale? [19:52] i did earlier and nobody answered [19:52] i had a dualboot ubuntu 10.4 / win 7 tobisha laptop, took it apart, now grub doesn't see the hd, but all the info is still there [19:53] paperplane: Depends. How recent is your C library? [19:53] i know because i have it booted up on a live disc now [19:53] hmm, is the mini CD install for both the server and desktop versions? [19:53] nm found it: "chkconfig haproxy on" [19:53] paperplane: Do gcc --version in a terminal [19:53] switchblade_: That's IRC. Sometimes people miss it, sometimes they don't. Sometimes people scroll up and get back to you later. Just ask, if no one answers after awhile, ask again. Patience and persistence. [19:53] (i.e. can i choose at installation time which one i want?) [19:53] thanks, mr. chris [19:53] switchlade use repair-boot to fix it [19:53] switchblade_: One second. I'll find you a tutorial that may help you with this. [19:53] how do i know which partitian is my root? [19:54] diphtherial, no, server is a different iso [19:54] OerHeks: even for a minimal CD, huh? :\ i haven't been able to find it [19:54] i've been able to find the 600mb+ ubuntu server iso, though [19:54] technode can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [19:54] switchblade_: http://www.knowledge76.com/index.php/Restore_Grub_Bootloader [19:55] mr_chris - you the man, i'll try this out [19:55] according to this post, you can use the mini version to install either the desktop or server versions: http://serverfault.com/questions/439309/how-to-install-an-ubuntu-12-04-server-vm-with-virt-install-without-graphics-loca [19:55] ah, never mind, that's wrong [19:55] switchblade_: Here's how to tell where you root is. From and Ubuntu installation disc or a rescue CD mount your partitions to a directory and view the contents. If you see etc, proc, dev, etc you know you have root. [19:56] paperplane: If that's good, check to see if Mexican Spanish is supported on that GCC module / Si es bueno, chequea para ver si espanol mexicano ha soportado en eso modulo de GCC (lo siento, no tengo accentos) [19:56] to take a step back, what i want is a version of ubuntu server that doesn't include any gui components at all [19:56] diphtherial, get it from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server [19:56] One question switchblade_. Do you know what your partition layout currently looks like? Do you have a /boot partition or is everything just mounted on / ? [19:56] I figured out that my machine has been under a brute force attack. .xsession-errors grew to over 380GB in size, all full of failed attempts to access my machine... is there any way to lock it down completely to prevent access like that? [19:56] diphtherial, ubuntu server comes with no gui, never did. [19:57] diphtherial: A default server install doesn't include a GUI [19:57] OerHeks: argh, heh, ok; i'd just downloaded and then deleted that one when i saw that post about the mini CD [19:57] time to download it again, i suppose [19:57] any idea why the iso is so huge? [19:57] it includes a lot of commonly used programs that are optionally installed [19:57] Define "huge". [19:57] diphtherial: Which ISO/ [19:57] http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso [19:57] be happy it still fits on a cd+r [19:57] that one, which is now apparently going to take four hours to download @_@ === Sendoush_ is now known as Sendoushi [19:58] That's not huge... it comes with a lot of server type software bundled, LAMP stack etc. [19:58] switchblade_: Here is something else you could try that may be a little easier. Boot this http://www.supergrubdisk.org/. If that gets you into your Ubuntu installation, run "sudo grub-install /dev/Xda" then "sudo update-grub". Replace "Xda" with your device label (sda, sdb, etc). [19:58] fair enough, but i really just need the OS and not all the bundled software... [19:58] SonikkuAmerica: Sorry for the delay. My gcc version is 4.6.3 [19:58] mr_chris - can i post a screenshot to you? i forgot how though... === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [19:59] mr_chris: A screenshot of? If it's just text use paste.ubuntu.com. If it's an image, use something like imgur. [20:00] paperplane: Now check to see if the es-MX Unicode locale is supported in / Entonces chequea a ver se el local <> ha soportado en GCC 4.6.3 [20:00] *si [20:01] i need help stopping gnome2 from logging to xsessions-error logs [20:01] how do i make gnome2 not log anything? [20:02] disk is filling up to 100% [20:02] its at 47% now. it was at 11% 5min ago === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [20:02] AcidRain: Why is it logging so much? [20:02] AcidRain: How large is that file now? [20:02] diphtherial The reason the mini now works as Server also, is that 12.10 merged the server and generic kernels togetther as the same. Mini iso lest you selct what apckages or service you want... where most people new to it, accidentally leave out a desltop, then wonder why they are not GUI. [20:03] 50% [20:03] mafoelffen: ah, so you can use the mini ISO after all... [20:03] AcidRain: How large is that file now? [20:03] AcidRain: You could direct it to log to /dev/null [20:03] bekks, its 30gig [20:03] mafoelffen: that's exactly what i want, for the record, a purely text-based OS [20:03] AcidRain: Then you should investigate the reason. [20:03] diphtherial Yes. [20:04] i'll be installing it as the guest OS on a machine to which i only ssh, so i have zero need for a gui [20:04] bekks, i just ant to make it stop logging all together [20:04] i cant even investigate cause its overloading my comp [20:04] (the host runs debian, amd64 architecture if that matters) [20:04] switchblade_: Of course. Share your screenshot. [20:04] Sorry,but I am back with the same doubt.I can access few websites easily while some fail to load.I get IP address by DHCP and pinging 8.8.8.8 works fine.I am on ubuntu machine.Can I get some help? [20:04] paperplane: You might have luck joining the #gcc channel / Tendrias suerte si junta Ud. con el canal de IRC #gcc [20:04] ert3go: What's up? [20:04] I'm having major problems getting HDMI sound to work in 12.04 LTS. I have a nVidia card, proprietary drivers are installed. I can see and choose the device in "sound settings" but there is no sound. I can see the display through HDMI though. Anyone got any ideas? I'm stuck :/ [20:05] mafoelffen: so, if i want a very minimal install, is it better to use the mini CD? [20:05] I posted my problem mr_chris [20:05] mafoelffen: and as you said it'll install the server version? or rather, there's no essential difference between the two now? [20:05] mafoelffen: i appreciate the help, too :) [20:06] Yes... But on the Server ISO, will still be minimal install. Not a lot of fluff there. On some where I have a lot of admin tasks... I do add a mimimal X and openbox... so It still comes up as text-based [20:06] NepgearGoddess, 60% how can i do that? [20:06] this window is about to lock up. and i cant use firefox cause of such insane disk activity [20:06] AcidRain: "tail -f filename" [20:06] AcidRain: And you can see whats going on in realtime. [20:07] tailf is better, doesn't thrash the disk [20:07] diphtherial (back) Srver install iso does have a lot of hardware firmware kinds of things that aren't on the mini and is a faster install. [20:07] AcidRain: I have this problem too.... except mine is because of a brute force attack. Investigate if you can, because your system might be compromised [20:07] The mini downloads most everything. [20:07] If simple logging is trashing the disk, then the whole box has a totally different problem. [20:08] Whereas the server install has alot of those server pkinds of packages on the IASO. [20:08] .xsession-errors -> /dev/null [20:08] meant ISO [20:08] mafoelffen: sounds good; i have both isos downloaded now, so i suppose i'll use the larger iso, then, not the mini one [20:08] this didnt fix it. gnome2 just created a new .xsession-error file [20:08] AcidRain: Of course. [20:08] AcidRain: You'd need to configure where it's logging to originally, not sure how though [20:08] any words of advice before i go ahead and virt-install this thing? :) [20:09] er, would 4GB be sufficient for a non-gui installation? [20:09] can anyone just tell me how to stop this logging so i can fix the issue? [20:09] diphtherial: Without a GUI, 512M is enough :) [20:09] diphtherial The mini works great if someone has very minimal hardware or they want to customise their install. [20:09] AcidRain: You need to take a look at the log, to know whats to be fixed. [20:09] i cant even browse my disk :/ [20:09] mafoelffen: hmm, in that case maybe i'll go with the mini; i'm installing this only to test a colleague's software, not to use as my main os or anything [20:10] mr_chris - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbauman/8516962644/ i think i have some superfluous partitions [20:10] it'll be running inside of a virtual machine in any case; it's not the host OS here [20:10] AcidRain: Then, in first instance, stop ALL applications. [20:10] I am sorry for the caps. It will not happen again. [20:10] I'm having major problems getting HDMI sound to work in 12.04 LTS. I have a nVidia card, proprietary drivers are installed. I can see and choose the device in "sound settings" but there is no sound. I can see the display through HDMI though. Anyone got any ideas? I'm stuck :/ [20:10] ert3go: Can you please copy the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to http://paste.ubuntu.com? [20:11] bekks, i dont think u understand. its pointing to dev/null so the file size is 0. but i know fofr a fact that this is the issue. [20:11] Anyone wanna help me with a script [20:11] diphtherial Server iso will come up as minimal server install. What "kind" of package or service? (curious) [20:11] ert3go: Please send the output of "host google.com" too. [20:11] i cant see any log. but the disk is still filling [20:11] 80% [20:12] mafoelffen: it's an RPC server called opencpu that hosts R scripts and allows them to be remotely queried via http [20:12] AcidRain: I do think I understand it very well. Without looking at the error messages in the log - please tell us how you will guess the root cause of the extensive logging? [20:12] mafoelffen: if you're curious, https://public.opencpu.org/pages/ [20:12] what i am trying to to is enable/disable tablet mode on my netbook/tablet hybrid when i rotate the screen [20:12] 90% [20:12] a colleague of mine worked on it (jeroen, the guy mentioned at the bottom of the page) [20:12] diphtherial Will look.

[22:04] ubuntu is easier than windows by now [22:04] when i tried to install ubuntu, it showed an empty 3tb partition [22:05] cagrijost: Ws the disk empty? [22:05] cagrijost: it? the ubuntu installer? gparted? what were you expecting to see?

[22:06] bekks: is there any other reason it doesnt show? [22:06] cagrijost: Most likely, you are using GPT already. [22:06] Selena2013: Do you have the live cd? I can't even download to try Ubuntu [22:06] bekks: no im not, i accidentally initialized it as mbr when i first installed win8. know anyway i can revert that?

[22:27] anyone had much luck installing it into a vm? i'm still kind of a newbie with the whole libvirt/virsh thing [22:28] (the host OS is debian, guest OS is intended to be ubuntu server, fwiw) [22:28] (and i can't use GUI tools at any step in this process; it's all CLI) [22:30] in virsh, ttyconsole reports /dev/pts/4, so i assume there's a tty device [22:30] console just gives me an empty console with no prompt :\ [22:30] i'd specify --extra-args, but you apparently can't do that from a --cdrom install? :\ [22:31] Hello to all!

[22:32] are you using a mirror in Brazil, eduardo? [22:32] yes [22:33] if there are other people using the internet connection, you might get a faster download if they stop using it, but otherwise all I can suggest is trying a different mirror in your part of the world, assuming your internet connection is setup correctly [22:33] Well [22:34] My internet not is shared! [22:35] Hello to all! My sound stops to work since I've updated my ubuntu 12.10, using the update manager. Anyone has deal with some issues like this? I'm with dell inspiron 1525 [22:35] Sorry by the English, i'm from Brazil and not speak English very good!

[22:38] bekks: It is a Romantic language... I think it's closer to Italian?

I'm with dell inspiron 1525 [22:43] Does anyone can help me with a sound card problem that I'm with? === anders__ is now known as MinnesotaBro [22:45] guys my laptop is making pop sounds I have fixed it before with some terminal code since it has something to do with like power saving but i had to fresh install any help? [22:46] so am I missing something? I am looking for the "alternate" install media download... I can't find it. please help... [22:46] 12.10 [22:48] well anyone [22:49] ui need help ASAP [22:49] I am having trouble on both CentOS and Ubuntu with mysql. whenever I create a user, 'user', and set the password and exit, I cannot login as that user. I get err 1045 saying access denied [22:49] does anyone know why this is happening? [22:50] the exact commands I am using "create user 'user'@'%' identified by 'password'; grant all on *.* to 'user'; [22:51] who was helping me before === dark3n|off is now known as dark3n [22:54] anyone happen to know how to install ubuntu server using a text-based installer? [22:54] i'm installing it into a virtual machine and i'm connecting to the host via ssh (no graphics device available, in other words) [22:54] i have a feeling thati 'm not going to figure this out :\ [22:55] the alternative install page has ISO for text-only and net installation [22:56] to add a comnd to a bash script would you add the terminal command [22:58] Bray90820, could you rephrase that? [22:58] would i add the terminal comand to a bash scrip to enable the action [22:59] Bray90820: you can add any terminal command to a bash script and it will run that command when executing the script [22:59] The lines within a bash script do the same thing as if you were typing them on the command line. [22:59] rap424 thank you [23:00] that's all i needed to know [23:00] if I tell ubuntu (12.10) to encrypt the system does that include /home ? Because during user creation it asks if I want to encrypt my home directory and I'm not sure whether that will be redundant. [23:03] fingerscrolling on right side of touchpad don't work suddently. What can I do? Under settings no chance effected... === King is now known as Guest33115 [23:03] I have Ubuntu 12.04 [23:04] rap424 would i just add it to the bottom of the file or what [23:04] can i just add the terminal command to the bottom of the file === cl0akd is now known as cloakd === fisted_ is now known as fisted [23:05] Bray90820: try it... you can script a command [23:05] Bray90820: depends on when you want it to run. usually at the top you will find '#!/bin/bash' to tell where the interpreter is [23:05] anything after that can be commandline commands [23:05] hi [23:05] guys [23:05] yes [23:05] Am I getting confused, or does apt-get purge not always remove packages that depend on the purged packages? For example, I just purged gvfs-backends, and rhythmbox is still installed, though it declares a dependency on gvfs-backends. [23:05] is anyone else having trouble creating user accounts in mysql? [23:06] but lets say i had a script with 4 commands and i wanted to add a command to remove a file [23:06] could i just add something like... [23:06] nvm I found the answer about encryption [23:06] r. etc/fgh/nine.txt [23:06] and have it remove that file [23:06] rm etc/fgh/nine.txt [23:06] Bray90820: in scripts each command is run sequentially, one after the other [23:06] yes that will work [23:07] i have a tmg firewall with ipsec/l2tp psk configuration and i whant to access my network from ubuntu, i have try a number of solutions but with no luck, any one have any idea how i can accomplish this? [23:07] rap424 i know that but im wondering the actual layout of the file [23:07] do i just list the commands 1 after another [23:07] Bray90820: yes that will work [23:07] Each command has to be on a separate line. [23:07] ok [23:08] then all is good [23:08] now my next question [23:08] is there a command to do custom actions in firefox [23:09] Probably not, but it depends on what "custom action" you want to do. [23:09] Bray90820: I do not know the answer to that, but I would say there aren't any BASH commands that do that. [23:09] there is a plugin in firefox that i wanted to enable/disable when i execute my script [23:10] Do you want to keep other extensions enabled? [23:10] yea [23:10] i just wanted to turn off my touch scrolling [23:11] You can create profiles within firefox that have different settings. === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:11] Alt+F2, then type "firefox -ProfileManager" === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood [23:11] could i have it switch profiles with a terminal command [23:12] Yes, you can launch a profile with a certain name with 'firefox -P "myprofile"' [23:13] thank you [23:13] that will work until i find a better solution [23:13] No problem. [23:15] does anyone know a repository location that hacks the launcher bar to all the intuitive features that the dev community seems apt to not implement? Such as minimize on icon launcher click and the ability to customize the location of the launcher bar [23:15] so far I've only been able to find a repository for each of these but not one that contains both of these intuitive hacks. thanks. [23:16] Hello guys, i have a problem. Im trying to install Ubuntu on my PC where im running Win7, I have 3 partitions C, D and E and newly created I for Ubuntu. When i boot up Ubuntu and try to install it it's not showing new Partition it shows only 3 :S Any tis ? [23:16] tips*? [23:16] good night [23:18] Racha, just delete that partition within Windows and let the installer see the free space. [23:18] does anyone know a repository location that hacks the launcher bar to all the intuitive features that the dev community seems apt to not implement? Such as minimize on icon launcher click and the ability to customize the location of the launcher bar === box1 is now known as Guest37359 [23:18] oh wait these are connected chats. [23:18] never mind [23:18] brkc, i did try that but then i cant create it with installer. It shows as unusable [23:19] is there a touch friendly twitter/facebook client [23:19] ö [23:19] l [23:19] Hmm, are you sure there are only four partitions rather than five? [23:19] You can only have four primary partitions. [23:19] Might be 1 more as Windows gets 100MB one just for fun [23:20] You'll have to find some way to free one up then. [23:20] #winehq [23:20] Would like to but, no way i have a lot of stuff on each of them. [23:21] Hi [23:21] Racha, the 100MB one is for recovery and bitlocker, and isn't mandatory (although it thinks it should be) [23:22] How can i change my "Files" Partition to be idk ... secundary ? === Guest50060 is now known as milefork [23:24] hey guys how do i change icon theme [23:24] Racha, that would involve backing up the files, formatting the partition, probably moving other partitions, then creating an extended partition, creating another partition for files (inside the extended partition) and restoring your backed up files [23:24] Or just getting another SDD/HDD :) [23:25] SSD* [23:25] or format the drive with GPT rather than MBR [23:25] then you aren't limited by the 4 primary partitions [23:26] to late for that i guess as i dont have any storage to backup my files [23:26] Racha, new hard drive it is then [23:28] If i install ubuntu inside Windows, as WUBI, is there anything that wont work ? or its same as i install ubuntu normal way with new partition/drive [23:29] Whats the prons and cons of WUBI ? [23:29] pros* [23:29] tgm4883, how do i change the icon theme [23:30] harrisr, wave a magic wand? [23:30] Racha: in my experience it's the same... really the only benefit i've seen is that it allows for easy uninstalling [23:30] * tgm4883 is unsure why you pinged me on that [23:30] Racha, there are pros? [23:31] which btw is what I did.. I uninstalled easily with wubi and installed it without it [23:31] additionally, with wubi you use the windows boot manager which doesn't give as many options as grub [23:31] by default, anyway [23:32] having a lot of problems with flash player when i upgraded to 12.10, is lightspark a decent alternative? [23:32] DarkHalo: as far as I know, a lot of flash alternatives support very little flash 10 and 11 functionality... usually on truly able to render flash 8 in full [23:33] that's unfortunate [23:33] yup [23:33] escott, how do you change icon theme [23:34] do you think they will support flash 10+ soon? [23:34] harrisr, have you tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/136473/how-do-i-change-the-icon-theme-in-ubuntu [23:34] or would chromium be a better alternative to firefox? [23:35] Hello. I am writting ( the beginnings of a bash script) Getting a error of ./movef.sh: line 2: cd: /home/dbrom/Video: No such file or directory The directory exists.... so whats the next solution [23:35] DarkHalo, Adobe Flash is bundled with Google Chrome. [23:36] npf, are you the dbrom user? [23:36] so that might be what i will do [23:36] yes [23:36] You will have to download the deb from their site. [23:36] npf, probably Videos [23:36] npf: ls -la /home/dbrom/Video [23:36] npf: (use a pastebin if it's long) [23:36] I assume it's a different version from the one in the repositories. [23:37] B**** your right ...what a rooky mistake [23:37] npf: please don't use star'ed out words [23:37] npf: we know what they mean [23:38] now t just goes to the same directory... [23:39] im doing a cd ~/Videos and its just going to the same directory [23:39] npf, yes [23:40] npf, what are you trying to accomplish [23:40] how can i get a PGP key? [23:40] does anyone have any experience generating .pem files for SSL, specifically for use with HAProxy? [23:40] !info gpg | xibalba [23:40] shouldnt it go to /home/user/Videos [23:40] xibalba: Package gpg does not exist in quantal [23:40] !info php [23:40] Package php does not exist in quantal [23:40] npf, ~ is $HOME [23:40] !info pgp [23:40] Package pgp does not exist in quantal [23:40] !info gnupg | xibalba [23:40] xibalba: gnupg (source: gnupg): GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement.

Is it safe to install the nvidia driver on a laptop with dual intel/nvidia graphics? [23:42] how can I restart the touchpad program? my touchpad don't work fully after I started X programs via ssh -X [23:42] Tellmarch, what you want is Bumblebee. [23:42] Is there a way to redirect a result to kill ring? [23:42] when I am in a directory and type cd ~ it takes me to /home/dbrom so why doesnt cd ~/Videos take me to /home/dbrom/Videos [23:42] brkc, ok, thx, i'll look into it [23:42] !info xclipboard | SunMoonStar [23:42] SunMoonStar: Package xclipboard does not exist in quantal [23:43] npf, it does [23:43] Whats the name of the popular music player that has the blue icon. I cant for the life of me remember the name. Sorry for not being that specific [23:43] so man xclipboard then? thanks [23:43] would i have to change ownership of flash in order to have it access my webcam? [23:44] !find | SunMoonStar yes xclipboard is the tool you want [23:44] SunMoonStar is not a valid distribution: extras, hardy, hardy-backports, hardy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, medibuntu, oneiric, oneiric-backports, oneiric-proposed, partner, precise, precise-backports, precise-proposed, quantal, quantal-backports, quantal-proposed, raring, raring-backports, raring-proposed, stable, testing, unstable [23:44] !find xclipboard | SunMoonStar yes xclipboard is the tool you want [23:44] SunMoonStar yes xclipboard is the tool you want: File xclipboard found in lxsession, lxsession-dbg, wx2.8-doc, x11-apps, xmanpages-ja, xpra [23:44] escott: does that use the same kill ring/clipboard as when you select text ? [23:44] manually [23:45] SunMoonStar, there are two clipboards in Unix. you can access wither through xclipboard [23:46] escott: oh [23:46] do i have to give flash special permissions in order for it to access my webcam? [23:46] SunMoonStar, one is what you are calling the kill ring although i thought that was more of an emacs terminology [23:46] escott: didn't realize there were 2 [23:46] DarkHalo, you shouldnt [23:46] escott: I picked up the term in emacs docs so maybe [23:47] escott: the word ring specifically [23:47] escott: since I don't know that there is the option to go to previous kills in the terminal === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:48] SunMoonStar, you can run a process like xclip which among other things can store history of clipboard contents and syncronize the two clipboards [23:48] escott: is xclip the same as xclipboard that we just discussed [23:49] SunMoonStar, no different program [23:49] I'm getting this error, linux-server : Depends: linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.36.43) but 3.2.0.38.46 is installed [23:50] I try running apt-get install -f and that doesn't fix it [23:50] SunMoonStar, xclipboard is for inserting/removing from the clipboard at the terminal, xclip is for managing the clipboard [23:50] I downloaded the dpkg for 3.2.0.36.43, and that still doesn't fix it [23:51] hey guys, whats the biggest diferrence between ubuntu and other distros? [23:51] escott: thanks === Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak [23:51] going afk [23:51] it is failing on installing linux-server [23:51] anyone else unable to connect to openvpn servers since updating libgnutls26 (yesterday)? [23:51] cagrijost, depends on what the "other distro" is [23:52] distros* :b [23:52] like, mint etc. [23:52] jch2os: try with aptitude instead of apt-get. it is more sane in conflict resolution [23:52] wtf is up with http://packages.ubuntu.org? [23:52] oh. [23:52] *wap* [23:52] cagrijost, if I had to narrow it down to one, commercialism. [23:53] ? [23:53] autojack, I'm guessing you just figured out it's .com [23:53] yeah. [23:53] frikkin domain squatters. [23:53] cagrijost: most other distros dont include keyloggers by default either [23:54] dsprc: keylogger? [23:54] omfg [23:54] are you referring to the amazon lens search? [23:54] lol? [23:54] Ubuntu has Ubuntu One and when you search your files, it returns Amazon results (but you can disable that). [23:54] no one having openvpn issues as of yesterday? [23:55] is that a keylogger? [23:56] dsprc - ok i will try that [23:56] I was thinking about why ubuntu changed the windows buttons position. Is there any old discussion about this? Maybe some usability test? === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [23:56] cagrijost: not really, though there is the fact that it is logging searches you make that you suppose are kept private [23:56] MeanderingCode: indeed i am. [23:57] !ot | X-warrior [23:57] X-warrior: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [23:57] cagrijost, my answer is arguably no. Some people don't like having their file searches sent off to Amazon. [23:57] though* [23:57] it is not just logging "Searches" every time you type somethign into dash it sends those keystrokes off to a remote server and canonical state that they will share such information to 3rd parties [23:58] dsprc, no it doesn't [23:58] i guess you can disable that as you said, are there any good things about ubuntu then? [23:58] dsprc, citation needed [23:58] dsprc: i think of typing something into dash as a search...for a program or file, generally
