[00:25] <Bray90820> more then 1
[00:26] <Ben64> Bray90820: make it run a script
[00:27] <Bray90820> ben64 can you help me write a script
[00:27] <Bray90820> its ok if you say no
[00:28] <Ben64> Bray90820: start with #!/bin/bash, then the things you want it to do
[00:28] <Bray90820> Ben64 i am a nube when it comes to script writing
[00:28] <dr_willis> !abs
[00:28] <Bray90820> never actually written one
[00:28] <dr_willis> example script.. 2 lines..
[00:29] <dr_willis> #!/bin/bash
[00:29] <dr_willis> ls -al
[00:29] <dr_willis> *done*    ;)
[00:29] <ia9371> hello
[00:30] <ia9371> i was installing iubuntu server and i forgot to check all the optional apps like SQL server Apache etc
[00:30] <Bray90820> well what i want to do is i want to enable the onscreen keyboard and change a setting in firefox
[00:31] <dr_willis> keyroard most likely would be a gconf or dconf settine - altered by  i think dconf-editor or gconf editor. (i never do stuff that way)
[00:31] <dr_willis> firefox. no idea on that one
[00:32] <bastidrazor> iarp: 'sudo tasksel' will help you
[00:32] <ia9371> hello
[00:32] <bastidrazor> ia9371:  'sudo tasksel' will help you
[00:32] <Inky2000> is there a possibility of changing the repetition rate of one specific key on the keyboard?
[00:33] <Bray90820> what would actually be perfect
[00:33] <dr_willis> never sdeen that done Bray90820   check as askubuntu.com perhaps
[00:33] <dr_willis> bbl.
[00:33] <Bray90820> what would actually be perfect is if i could have the script run when i rotated the screen
[00:34] <Bray90820> into tablet mode
[00:35] <eagle747> any tips on port forwarding, i have done all the moden settings, but port is still closed?
[00:37] <Morgawr`urd> 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] <Morgawr`urd> I know on other desktop environments like LXDE or XFCE the program appears immediately
[00:38] <Morgawr`urd> what command do I have to run or what do I have to do to have it show up properly?
[00:38] <Inky2000> 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] <Morgawr`urd> the program installs in /usr/share/apps or something like that (following the DE standards)
[00:41] <fully_human> In Firefox does anyone get a bug where popup menus (like the "bookmark" widget) don't appear if you navigate to a certain site?
[00:41] <wolfgang42> I just ran apt-get remove and accidentally took out my currently running kernel. Can someone look at the output ( http://pastebin.com/pfcErRP9 ) and give me a pointer on how to fix it if needed?
[00:42] <Bray90820> Inky2000 can you explain more about that
[00:42] <jrib> wolfgang42: just install it again?
[00:43] <SonikkuAmerica> wolfgang42: [ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.2.0-37-generic ]
[00:43] <wolfgang42> 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.
[00:43] <SonikkuAmerica> Although why are people still on Linux 3.2?
[00:43] <nearst> im still at 3.2
[00:44] <puznel> wolfgang42: apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`
[00:45] <son_> anybody here know how to configure mail server behid router?
[00:45] <son_> dsl modem > router > server?
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_:  other than not configuring one?
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_:  most residential ISPs will block all mailservers
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> son_: and most residential ISP-origin mail servers will get blacklisted
[00:47] <son_> yeah my ISP block port 25
[00:47] <son_> i can send mails outside but cannot receive them
[00:47] <TheLordOfTime> then you can't do anything about it.
[00:50] <MoPac> 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] <MoPac> What do I need to do?
[00:52] <Inky2000> 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.
[00:52] <Inky2000> sh gets executed whenever i rotate my screen to tablet mode.
[00:53] <Inky2000> the event is actually a file
[00:56] <KI4RO> Using 12.10.  I recently received a Linux update.  What if something goes wrong with it on my system and I want to go back to the previous image, how do I do that since it no longer seems to be an option in GRUB?
[00:57] <unheeding> KI4RO: hold down shift while booting
[00:57] <unheeding> select advanced options for ubuntu
[00:57] <unheeding> you'll be presented with a list of all available kernels
[00:57] <KI4RO> unheeding, Okay, I'll try it and be back
[00:57] <unheeding> i had to do this today :)
[00:57] <spdupee> Iwant to try 13.4 what is the easiest way to upgrade
[00:58] <Inky2000> Bray90820 That's the way i am doing this at the moment. 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] <unheeding> spdupee: edit your apt-sources.list to point to raring instead of quantal
[00:58] <unheeding> spdupee: it's a lot of stuff to download and not exactly stable
[00:59] <unheeding> see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082861
[00:59] <wolfgang42> OK, well, I reinstalled the currently running kernel. We'll see what happens next time I restart...
[01:03] <Inky2000> Bray90820 the xrotate command in the second script is the xrotate.py of magick-rotation  https://launchpad.net/magick-rotation
[01:03] <KI4RO> unheeding, That worked...thank you...now if I can just get it to restart I'll be good LOL
[01:03] <unheeding> lol restarting is usually the easy part
[01:03] <unheeding> just remember to update-grub if you're removing kernels etc
[01:04] <KI4RO> unheeding, Not on this machine.  sudo update-grub?
[01:04] <unheeding> yup
[01:05] <KI4RO> unheeding, Well I'll give it a go...I'll be back...hopefully! LOL
[01:05] <unheeding> if you're not back in ten minutes we'll send out a search party
[01:05]  * unheeding sometimes misses people leaving and coming back with join/parts hidden
[01:06] <dr_willis> i like weechats smart  filtering of parts/joins for just that reason
[01:06] <unheeding> dr_willis: i'm intrigued.  tell me more about x
[01:07] <dr_willis> if person joins.. never talks or dosent  talk for like 10 min. it auto hides them parting
[01:07] <unheeding> does it do the same thing for joins?
[01:08] <dr_willis> so id see you part.. but not people poping in..
[01:08] <dr_willis> cant say ive noticed it for joins.. or how it would work for joins..
[01:09] <dr_willis> alt-=   is the weechat hotkey to toggle/show all the filtered part/join messages also
[01:09] <dr_willis> so weechat is handy in huge channels
[01:09] <KI4RO> unheeding, Still won't restart/reboot.  I've used boot-repair and sent them my results and all but still waiting to hear back....think they want $$$ to talk to me LOL
[01:10] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  i think they just monitor what errors people have so they can make a better tool
[01:10] <MoPac> Does anyone here use zeitgeist for full-text search instead of an alternate application/lens?
[01:11] <KI4RO> dr_willis, I C...maybe that's why I don't get any help back LOL
[01:11] <dr_willis> KI4RO:  if they offer a service.. id never harrd of it befor
[01:12] <dr_willis> bbl. got a job to do.. ;(
[01:12] <KI4RO> dr_willis, Hate that for you
[01:15] <Inky2000> is there any way to change auto repetition mode of one specific key?
[01:16] <atuo> I just performed a fresh install using the alternate amd64 install .iso that is slightly over 700mb. When installing, I thought I selected desktop, but I didn't, and only installed the base system. Currently I have installed xinit and xorg-server, and am now downloading and instlaling the 'unity,' package. What is the name of a unity desktop session - as in, do I add 'exec unity,' to ~/.xinitrc to make startx launch Unity? Thanks.
[01:18] <Inky2000> installing ubuntu-desktop should have the same effect as selecting it in the installer
[01:19] <atuo> Is there any bash script or package that comes with the ubuntu-desktop metapackage that will set my configs to be idiot friendly? I am installing this system for someone who is quite old, and they actually prefer Ubuntu to Windows. I am upgrading from 11.04 to 12.04. I personally run Gentoo and know my way around GNU/Linux, but the person I am doing this install for -doesn't-, so it's imperative that this is as user-friendly and idiotproof
[01:20] <atuo> make that 12.04.2*
[01:21] <bryguy_> update today broke my nvidia drivers, I still have the module loaded but I'm only getting 68fps on glxgears
[01:22] <bryguy_> anyone else have this issue?
[01:22] <Inky2000> so you installed 12.04 and update to 12.04.2?
[01:23] <bryguy_> sorry I'm using 12.10 (I think? new to ubuntu, not sure how to check release), installed software updates- kernel and mesa
[01:24] <atuo> Inky2000: No. I wiped the drive, inserted a usb with the 12.04.2 .iso burnt to it (using dd), ran through the text installer, and rebooted. Only command I have ran soforth is 'apt-get update && apt-get install xinit xorg-server zsh zsh-doc vim vim-doc lm-sensors irssi lynx htop,'
[01:24] <Inky2000> during installation of ubuntu-desktop it aks for your prefered login manager and should set up the environment to start this dm
[01:24] <Inky2000> *display manager
[01:24] <atuo> thanks Inky2000 ! I'll let you know if I run into further problems
[01:26]  * Jeruvy daydreams
[01:46] <bravis> Wazz up

[01:48] <bravis> well seeing what cool things i can do with ubuntu
[01:51] <NorCalDan> Just finished installing Raring 13.04 on a MBP, flawless.  No more vm's for me, time to move in fulltim
[01:53] <uw> anybody else have a strong desire to smash their speakers when booting ubuntu because of the GOD AWFUL startup song
[01:53] <uw> it's been going on for years now
[01:53] <uw> actually as long as i can remember using ubuntu
[01:53] <uw> always had that same terrible song
[01:53] <escott> uw, its also way too loud
[01:54] <escott> uw, but if you go into gnome-session-properties you can toggle the startup sound off
[01:54] <uw> escott, yes i agree!  bad song and blairing loud for some reason
[01:54] <escott> uw, although you have to make it visible first by digging into gconf
[01:54] <NorCalDan> ended up turning it off (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1320500)
[01:54] <escott> uw, http://maketecheasier.com/disable-login-sound-in-ubuntu-oneiric-quick-tips/2011/09/15
[01:54]  * uw slaps forehead
[01:55] <uw> i thought they were going away from gconf?
[01:55] <uw> phasing it out?
[01:55] <escott> uw, gconf/dconf its all the same
[01:55] <uw> i guess you still need it for this?
[01:55] <escott> just a different backend
[01:56] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[01:56] <uw> oh i see
[01:57] <nearst> hello mate :)
[01:57] <escott> uw, in any case the transition is still going on so you have to check both or something
[02:00] <kal-lel> Hello... Greetings folks!
[02:00] <NorCalDan> Greetings
[02:01] <kal-lel> Maybe Preload doesn't work to turn my O.S. faster....
[02:10] <escott> kal-lel, was there a question there
[02:10] <tripelb> !gnome2 | tripelb
[02:11] <bigbadben> Hey I am back, what exactly is Xorg?
[02:12] <escott> bigbadben, it is the X server. it is a key part of the graphical interface
[02:13] <kal-lel> escott: ??
[02:13] <tripelb> i have 12.04 and u want to use gnome2. How can I do that?
[02:13] <bigbadben> What does it mean when it crashes
[02:13] <tdrusk> 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] <Ben64> !nounity | tripelb
[02:13] <escott> bigbadben, if X crashes you will be logged out of the graphical interface and all your applications will crash
[02:13] <escott> kal-lel, did you have a question or were you just commenting?
[02:14] <apwbdjp> tdrusk: I'd say maybe your grub conf file didn't get the arguments right, from the Opensuse install
[02:14] <kal-lel> escott: Was a question, a comment... No one answer... No one care... You care.. Thank you...
[02:15] <escott> kal-lel, no one will respond unless there is an actual question to respond to
[02:15] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, I think running "sudo update-grub2" in a terminal, from your ubuntu install, and rebooting, should fix it
[02:15] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: Will that break my opensuse grub or just replace it with the Ubuntu one?
[02:15] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: great idea btw
[02:15] <escott> 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] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, neither, that will just re-detect all installed OSes on the machine, and make the right grub.conf file for that
[02:16] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: sick. I will try that. Thanks :)
[02:16] <kal-lel> 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] <kal-lel> **to
[02:17] <escott> kal-lel, you seem to misunderstand the purpose of RAM
[02:17] <escott> !atemyram | kal-lel
[02:18] <apwbdjp> kal-lel, prelaod works well for slow disks, not for low ram
[02:18] <apwbdjp> kal-lel, you need plenty of ram to load things before even using them
[02:18] <kal-lel> I really misunderstanded so.. Ok..
[02:19] <kal-lel> Thank you all...
[02:20] <kal-lel> good night folks.. I am outing!
[02:21] <tripelb> I give up. i want a ainple desktop of gnome2. i guess i want http://www.fuduntu.org/
[02:22] <Ben64> tripelb: gnome 2 is dead
[02:22] <tripelb> i.had to.come.back to say this in case of feedback
[02:23] <kk0710> Hey guys, I am in need of help.  I have never had a problem like this.  I just did a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 on a friends laptop but ubuntu won't boot.  It just goes to h is laptops boot options which offer ubuntu and the harddrive but when I choose one of them it just goes back to the menu
[02:24] <Ben64> tripelb: dunno what that means, but ok
[02:24] <Ben64> keep in mind that you can't get support here for fuduntu
[02:24] <b0ot> can someone help me get scp between two machines working without passwords
[02:24] <b0ot> I need to be able to upload pictures from one /var/www/.../foo to the remotes /var/www/.../foo
[02:25] <apwbdjp> kk0710, Do you mind rephrasing that last line?
[02:25] <Ben64> b0ot: look into key based authentication
[02:25] <b0ot> Ben64, I have followed multiple guides with no luck
[02:25] <Guest8857> I need a wifi hack
[02:25] <b0ot> I create my rsa key
[02:25] <b0ot> copy over the public
[02:25] <kk0710> apwbdjp: sorry, when I boot the laptop it goes to the boot menu.  For some reason there is a choice for the harddrive AND ubuntu but neither one of them work
[02:25] <b0ot> then cat /key.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[02:26] <b0ot> with no luck
[02:26] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: update grub did not work. any other ideas?
[02:26] <Ben64> b0ot: you might need to restart ssh and/or the computers for it to take effect
[02:26] <franl> b0ot, you need to have perms on your .ssh directory set to 700 and the files set to 600.
[02:26] <amicrawler2012> hey guys how do i make new source list for this distro  it is giving me a 404  error  even in the old  releases  am i doing something  wrong
[02:26] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I have tried installing several times as a dual boot but had nothing but problems so I cleaned the hard drive and did a clean install
[02:27] <b0ot> how do I restart ssh
[02:27] <vincentS> b0ot, sudo service sshd restart
[02:27] <escott> b0ot, sudo service ssh restart
[02:28] <apwbdjp> kk0710, Choice for the hard drive? You mean there's some menu other than grub that asks you on which device you want to boot?
[02:29] <vincentS> thanks for correcting me ;)
[02:29] <kk0710> its the boot menu, bios boot menu it is not grub.
[02:29] <apwbdjp> tdrusk, Sorry I'm running dry, here..
[02:29] <tdrusk> apwbdjp: okay. thanks anyway :)
[02:29] <kk0710> apwbdjp: like for some reaosn the bios now has an ubuntu option for boot order but whether I pick that OR the harddrive it does not boot

[02:33] <Ben64> no, you need to upgrade
[02:33] <Kr3m> i have a qucik question.  if i'm putting ubuntu onto an older machine, should i use 12.04 so i can use Unity 2d or should i just consider using KDE or Gnome and leave 12.10 on it?
[02:33] <escott> !br | eduardo
[02:33] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, not after End Of Life
[02:33] <amicrawler2012> then what is eol link for ?

[02:34] <Ben64> Kr3m: for older machines, you shouldn't use 12.10, because it doesn't support cpus without pae
[02:34] <Ben64> amicrawler2012: to upgrade to a newer release
[02:34] <Kr3m> thanks Ben64.
[02:34] <amicrawler2012> i have a amd xp3200 with 512 ram
[02:34] <kk0710> vincentS: I just installed from liveusb.  I installed before as a du al boot but it refused to work, so I deleted al partitions rebooted and installed clean.

[02:35] <vincentS> kk0710, i would boot into live again and confirm that u have a bootable patition
[02:35] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, then I'd advise Lubuntu or your own install with LXDE
[02:36] <kk0710> vincentS: Already did it.  It clreates 3 parititions, a fat32 partition that is about 99 megs that is bootable.  then the ext4 and then the swap
[02:36] <amicrawler2012> can i install  12.10  with a AMD xp3200 with 512 ram
[02:36] <apwbdjp> A linux install created a fat32 partition?
[02:37] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, I just said, go for Lubuntu, with those specs, man.
[02:37] <escott> apwbdjp, for UEFI that would be needed
[02:37] <b0ot> What do I need to do to be able to scp from /var/www to remote /var/www without needing sudo?
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> i see
[02:37] <escott> kk0710, what method are you booting? bios or efi?
[02:37] <apwbdjp> escott, oh.. explains why it's tricky in this case. Thanks!
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> so it is a sol
[02:37] <Ben64> not sure if that cpu supports PAE
[02:37] <Ben64> so if 12.10 doesn't work, thats why
[02:37] <amicrawler2012> sad out of luck
[02:38] <kk0710> escott: I dont know what efi is
[02:38] <Ben64> b0ot: i've already told you
[02:38] <escott> kk0710, well boot the livecd and look at what directories are in /sys/firmware
[02:38] <apwbdjp> amicrawler2012, dude just upgrade to 12.10 and install lxde if it's too slow for you. This shouldn't take more than an hour
[02:38] <alt0> I installed Ubuntu base system from the alternate-amd64-12.04.2 .iso and after installing xorg-server, xinit, unity, and ubuntu-desktop packages/metapackages, now trying to install any package with aptitude returns the following error: sudo aa-complain cupsd ; sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model ; export PRINTS=cupswrapperMFC3240C-1.0.2-3.i386.deb;  sudo apt-get install tcsh ; dpkg  -i  --force-all $PRINTS     What can I do to remedy this? Ti
[02:39] <kk0710> escott: acpi efi memap
[02:39] <darkhelmet46> hey all
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, ok so it is booting efi
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, does it have windows 8
[02:39] <darkhelmet46> anyone know if Ubuntu One has unlimited peer-to-peer sync?
[02:39] <amicrawler2012> is xp3200 a x64 ir i386 cpu
[02:39] <kk0710> escott: no
[02:39] <escott> kk0710, is it a dual boot at all?
[02:39] <b0ot> Ben64, I'm able to transfer normal files without a password but when I try to transfer from /var/www/... to remote /var/www... it doesn't work
[02:40] <Ben64> b0ot: then check permissions on the remote /var/www
[02:40] <alt0> ahh, my error pasted wrong. THe error I am having is "errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools" This happens anytime I use apt. It says --configure is failing.
[02:40] <Ben64> amicrawler2012: depends if it has "64" in the name
[02:40] <kk0710> escott: no I tried to make it du al boot but it wouldn't work so I deleted the harddrive
[02:40] <kk0710> partition*
[02:40] <escott> 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] <escott> kk0710, what tool did you use to delete the partition?
[02:41] <ClientAlive> has anyone here had an experience upgrading from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10? Does stuff break?
[02:41] <kk0710> escott: gpart
[02:41] <kk0710> escott: gparted
[02:42] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, I did. Went fine.
[02:42] <escott> 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] <vincentS> kk0710, did u say the fat32 was bootable
[02:42] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: and you did so using apt-get? <- is that even possible? Does it take a long time?
[02:42] <alt0> Does anyone know how to solve the problem I am facing with initramfs-tools not working anytime I use aptitude?
[02:42] <escott> 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] <kk0710> escott: how do I switch it though?  I didn't tell it to do it it just did it on its own?
[02:43] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, I did that the usual way: sudo do-release-upgrade
[02:43] <vincentS> kk0710, cause i think /boot is on ur ext4 partition shouldn't that be bootable then since fat32 is still empty
[02:43] <escott> kk0710, its in the firmware. can't tell you what those options will look like
[02:43] <kk0710> escott: are you saying its in the bios?
[02:43] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, most of it is downloads, so if you got a decent connexion it's fine
[02:43] <escott> kk0710, what you are calling bios yes, but its not bios. it is efi
[02:43] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: right on. Suppose I'll give it a try.
[02:43] <kk0710> escott: I dont udnerstand, WHERE do I go to change the option?
[02:44] <kk0710> escott: I m not familiar with EFI
[02:44] <escott> kk0710, i can't tell you. it is in your efi setup which varies by manufacturer
[02:44] <vincentS> kk0710, u have some sort of recovery option in ur bios where it restores to factory default
[02:44] <ffffuuuumnnbnb> lkjsfd\

[02:46] <deadly> hey, is anyone able to help setup ftp on ubuntu? please
[02:47] <anonymousjude> hey all whats up
[02:47] <apwbdjp> kk0710, When you boot up your machine, you should read somewhere on a corner "Press ??? to access Setup" or something like that?
[02:47] <deadly> anyone help setup server? please.
[02:47] <bravis> better stay away from arch you will have an aneurysm..
[02:47] <anonymousjude> was wondering if anyone knows how to get beats subwoofer on HP laptop to work through Ubuntu?

[02:48] <ClientAlive> guess the \n doesn't work that way in irc... woopsie  :p
[02:49] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, then you should check our version, maybe you got 12.10
[02:49] <Kr3m> !updateca kr3m
[02:49] <ClientAlive> I'll double check
[02:49] <Kr3m> oops

[02:50] <cihhan> Can I change the number of the lines of the top output? Any info about it? For example I can change the column size using "COLUMN=512 top" command, but what about line size?
[02:51] <apwbdjp> deadly, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html
[02:51] <ClientAlive> apwbdjp: "Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS"
[02:51] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, well you downloaded the LTS version (Long Term Support), when you did the install
[02:51] <deadly> i was having a look at that one last night, my problem occurs when i join my guest account 'ftpguest' he is able to see outside of the set home directory
[02:52] <deadly> ive set the guest home directory to /home/FTPAccess
[02:52] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I found an intel manage engine bios extension but still cannot find anything for EFI
[02:52] <vincentS> cihhan, you can go pg/up pg/dn in top
[02:52] <deadly> however he can go out back into root folder
[02:52] <Ben64> ClientAlive: by default LTS versions only upgrade to other LTS versions
[02:52] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, this version will only upgrade to the next LTS version (It's been made for big companies who don't wanna upgrade too often)
[02:52] <ClientAlive> I see. Is there a way to upgrade then?
[02:52] <ahoneybun> kk0710, that tricky beast
[02:52] <apwbdjp> ClientAlive, if you REALLY wanna move to 12.10, I think I found a quick workaround, I'll google that for you
[02:52] <cihhan> vincentS: im using a script to read some values but i want to do it for only a couple of lines
[02:53] <Ben64> there is, but you could just wait for 14.04 and upgrade directly to that
[02:53] <ClientAlive> I thought Ubuntu is doing away with LTS anyway
[02:53] <Ben64> instead of doing 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 13.10 -> 14.04
[02:53] <ahoneybun> ClientAlive, just talks nothing big yet or set in stone
[02:53] <kk0710> 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] <ClientAlive> I see
[02:53] <ClientAlive> thans fellas (ladies/ genlemen)  :)
[02:53] <vincentS> cihhan, use grep with awk
[02:54] <apwbdjp> 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] <ahoneybun> ClientAlive, you can set that up in Software Sources and switch from LTS releases to normal releases
[02:54] <cihhan> vincentS: grep/head is not useful since im using -n 2
[02:54] <ahoneybun> kk0710, EFI is tricky
[02:54] <george_> hello
[02:54] <cihhan> to print twice
[02:55] <ahoneybun> hello george_
[02:55] <george_> are there chinese?
[02:55] <george_> who is chinese
[02:55] <george_> ?
[02:55] <ahoneybun> george_, american sir
[02:55] <escott> !cn
[02:55] <kk0710> Ill take that as a no and just give up on ubuntu for this machine
[02:55] <kk0710> thanks
[02:55] <ahoneybun> kk0710, well my Mac is efi and I installed ubuntu
[02:55] <ahoneybun> it has the efi bios
[02:56] <ahoneybun> just not enabled
[02:56] <kk0710> well it wont work for me no matter what I do so far
 american ?
[02:56] <kk0710> ahoneybun: thats why it boots because its disabled, I am trying to find out HOW to disable it and see NO options
[02:57] <ahoneybun> george_, as in I am not Chinese and do not speak it
[02:57] <ahoneybun> kk0710, well when you boot a live cd/usb does it say "secure boot is disabled"?
[02:57] <george_> oh
[02:58] <ahoneybun> !cn
[02:58] <darkhelmet46> anyone know if Ubuntu One has unlimited peer-to-peer sync?
[02:58] <apwbdjp> !cn | george_
[02:58] <kk0710> ahoneybun: where would it even say that?
[02:58] <george_> i see
[02:58] <deadly> quick question for someone, when it says comment, do i put a # infront of the line or take it away?
[02:58] <ahoneybun> kk0710, on the screen when it boots from the cd/usb for me on my MacBook
[02:58] <george_> but i just want to make friends with you ~~~~~
[02:58] <kk0710> I dont think its the same for me so not sure you can help
[02:59] <ahoneybun> george_, thats not a problem just want help you the best we can
[02:59] <apwbdjp> deadly, well both work, # in the beggining of the line gives you the option of bringing it back
[02:59] <george_> i konw
[02:59] <vincentS> deadly, starting with a # is a comment  line
[02:59] <george_> i know
[02:59] <ahoneybun> kk0710, my desktop did the same as it has EFI just it was hard to dual boot
[02:59] <deadly> ok, im just reinstalling my vps now, and ill go from there
[03:00] <kk0710> ahoneybun: im no longer trying to dual boot this is a clean install of ubuntu
[03:00] <apwbdjp> kk0710, I met a bios like that, that doesn't allow you disable any of the features
[03:01] <ahoneybun> kk0710, oh well I just install the boot loader on the main harddrive like sda and it worked
[03:01] <kk0710> apwbdjp: yah I just looked again I see no options relating to EFI, or any keywords I dont recognize.
[03:01] <kk0710> 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] <george_> is there anybody want to make friends with me ?
[03:02] <escott> kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi
[03:02] <kk0710> escott: well I dont knwo how to access efi!!!
[03:02] <kk0710> ive tried all options available to me
[03:02] <ahoneybun> george_, what's up!
[03:02] <escott> kk0710, if it says BIOS or LEGACY that would switch the mode to BIOS from EFI
[03:02] <Ben64> george_: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[03:02] <kk0710> theres no options like that
[03:02] <apwbdjp> escott, what should that option look like anyway? Something like "Enable Legacy BIOS"?
[03:03] <ahoneybun> escott, now I learned something
[03:03] <deadly> so ive just installed vsftpd and made sure both local_enable=YES write_enable=YES are configured, then just restarted...
[03:03] <escott> kk0710, your firmware is EFI. i dont care if you call it BIOS. it *IS* EFI
[03:03] <apwbdjp> Just curios, in case you've met it
[03:03] <deadly> now i need to add a user
[03:03] <deadly> ?
[03:03] <kk0710> ok I just want to boot ubuntu, how do I do that
[03:03] <escott> kk0710, so once you get into your firmware setup you are in the EFI setup
[03:04] <george_> who can give me your google talk ID ?
[03:04] <kk0710> ok so once again how do I boot ubuntu
[03:04] <Ben64> george_: not here
[03:04] <george_> ok
[03:04] <george_> just give me
[03:05] <deadly> @apwbdjp groupadd ftp-users chown root:ftp-users /home/ useradd -g ftp-users -d /home/ spy passwd spy
[03:05] <george_> ^_^
[03:05] <deadly> my next thing to do?
[03:05] <escott> 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] <george_> i have some problems
[03:05] <kk0710> escott: that brings me back to what I was trying to say earlier, I see no way to do that
[03:05] <escott> kk0710, also the FAT partition should not be "bootable" i dont believe such a flag exists in GPT/EFI
[03:05] <george_> how xfce open 3D ?
[03:06] <kk0710> escott: well it was, I etried turning it off and turning boot on for ext4 part but that didnt work either
[03:06] <ahoneybun> escott, there is a option in the windows 7 DVD I believe
[03:06] <kk0710> everythign in the bios says bios nothing about efi
[03:06] <escott> 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] <escott> kk0710, did you read my previous?
[03:07] <kk0710> which previous exactly?
[03:07] <BoBo_> 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] <escott> kk0710, it *IS* efi. its not going to have options that say anything about efi
[03:07] <Ben64> BoBo_: no
[03:07] <kk0710> excott
[03:07] <kk0710> I feel like we are not communcating well here
[03:08] <kk0710> I know you said that then you said usb legacy mode and I was telling you there is no option for that
[03:08] <apwbdjp> BoBo_, a proper OS install requires a couple of reboots, so no
[03:08] <escott> kk0710, if an option says anything about BIOS it would be my suggestion that you enable it
[03:08] <kk0710> we are going in circles here
[03:09] <Bray90820> Inky2000 sorry i was gone
[03:09] <BoBo_> i also have serial console access if that would help
[03:09] <escott> 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] <kk0710> you've said that
[03:09] <kk0710> I understand that
[03:09] <escott> kk0710, if you dont enable the bios emulation you have the default which is efi
[03:09] <Bray90820> can you explain the tablet thingy again
[03:09] <Nothing_Much> gnome -restart
[03:10] <apwbdjp> 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] <bazhang> !touch | Bray90820
[03:10] <Bray90820> no not that lol
[03:10] <george_> how xfce open 3D?????
[03:10] <bazhang> Bray90820, thats where it is
[03:10] <kk0710> well I've just checked, the only legacy options are for usb s upport.
[03:10] <Ben64> !details | george_
[03:10] <Bray90820> Inky2000 was talking about using her convertible netbook/tablet
[03:11] <Bray90820> or his
[03:11] <george_> 6_6!!!
[03:11] <bazhang> Bray90820, how is that related to ubuntu support
[03:11] <george_> i just want to open xfce 3D ~
[03:11] <escott> kk0710, and you are booting cd?
[03:11] <Ben64> george_: what does that mean
[03:11] <Bray90820> because it was spesificly about using is with ubuntu
[03:11] <bazhang> george_, then install ccsm
[03:11] <kk0710> escott: liveusb
[03:12] <escott> kk0710, so why dont you enable the legacy options for usb then
[03:12] <kk0710> 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] <bazhang> !ccsm | george_
[03:12] <apwbdjp> 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] <kk0710> escott: how does that help me get it installed?  It boots fine from the usb
[03:12] <escott> kk0710, id like to actually see the table not your description of it
[03:12] <george_> ccsm???what is it ????
[03:12] <bazhang> george_, I just send you info about it
[03:12] <ViralFrost> george_ - compizconfig-settings-manager
[03:13] <kk0710> apwbdjp: I searched all advanced tabs and could find nothing relating to it
[03:13] <apwbdjp> 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] <escott> kk0710, because if you boot efi you have to install efi
[03:13] <Bray90820> 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] <george_> how can i install it
[03:13] <ViralFrost> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[03:13] <escott> 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] <apwbdjp> 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] <apwbdjp> And there was just nothing to do
[03:14] <escott> apwbdjp, this has nothing to do with IDE vs SATA
[03:15] <apwbdjp> escott, not what I mean. I mean some BIOSes don't let you go back to Legacy mode, on some stuff
[03:15] <kk0710> legacy usb su pport is already enabled
[03:15] <Bray90820> Inky2000 are you still in here
[03:16] <kk0710> so that idea wont work I guess
[03:16] <Ben64> Bray90820: there is nobody here with that nick
[03:16] <escott> 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] <Bray90820> ok
[03:16] <Bray90820> there was a few hours ago
[03:16] <Bray90820> that's why i asked
[03:16] <kk0710> escott: well like I said I see no way to do it and ive been looking for a while now
[03:17] <kk0710> if you want I will read off the options in the bios
[03:17] <Ben64> Bray90820: you could just look at the user list or hit tab to find names
[03:17] <Bray90820> maybe they changed there nick
[03:17] <escott> kk0710, it wouldn't be very informative. each implementation behaves differently
[03:18] <georgetso> greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started?
[03:18] <georgetso> greetings! got a question, how could my ubuntu server execute a set of "grant privileges" statements after mysql started automatically?
[03:18] <kk0710> well I guess my friend is fucked until I we can get win 7 back on here then
[03:18] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:18] <kk0710> ubuntu just isn't going to work
[03:18] <bazhang> kk0710, no cursing here
[03:18] <escott> 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] <kk0710> yah we are making no forward motion here so this is pointless.  Thanks anyway
[03:20] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:20] <george_> i find xfce can not open 3D ~~
[03:20] <Ben64> george_: stop spamming, and you might want to say what you mean by "open 3D"
[03:20] <Bray90820> So anyone wanna help me write a script
[03:20] <Bray90820> or help me take a look at one that has already been made
[03:20] <Ben64> Bray90820: #bash ?
[03:21] <kk0710> hopefully ubuntu will fix this soon enough
[03:21] <Bray90820> ben64 i'm not sure
[03:21] <Ben64> kk0710: it's not ubuntu's fault that computer manufacturers are locking down their hardware
[03:21] <apwbdjp> Ben64, thank you! Finally someone who gets me!
[03:22] <apwbdjp> Bray90820, what do you want your script to do, anyway?
[03:22] <kk0710> Ben64: that is true but it is there fault they haven't worked with the new setup yet.
[03:22] <Ben64> kk0710: no, its not
[03:22] <kk0710> If you say so
[03:23] <Bray90820> 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] <kk0710> 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] <Bray90820> apwbdjp and then another one to disable all of that when i rotate it back to laptop mode
[03:24] <Ben64> kk0710: because they do other stuff like secureboot
[03:24] <escott> 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] <deadly> how do you save a file when editing in putty?
[03:25] <Ben64> deadly: putty is a windows program
[03:25] <deadly> im running a vps
[03:25] <escott> 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] <Ben64> deadly: ok? putty is still a windows program
[03:25] <apwbdjp> deadly, you can't really edit IN putty, that depends on the editor you're using inside it
[03:26] <escott> kk0710, in a 5-10 years it will hopefully all just work, but right now its just a pain
[03:26] <deadly> is there another way to get access to my vps to do so?
[03:26] <deadly> 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] <Bray90820> apwbdjp what i was thinking was maybe assigning it to a hot key or something
[03:26] <escott> kk0710, so support is there, but thats not a guarantee that toshiba did their part correctly or according to the specification
[03:27] <Ben64> deadly: so then you want to know how to save with "vi", the answer is "<escape>:wq<enter>"
[03:27] <apwbdjp> deadly: when you edit inside vi/vim, do [esc] (escape) a couple of times, then :w then enter, to save
[03:27] <escott> kk0710, since you said toshiba ill point you to: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/#entry-22028
[03:27] <apwbdjp> deadly, if you don't know how to use vi, you should be using nano instead
[03:27] <deadly> whats that?
[03:28] <Ben64> !info nano | deadly
[03:31] <colinb_> Hi all.  I am thinking of trying Ubuntu, and I am interested in using fvwm as my DE.. does anyone anticipate I will have much trouble getting fvwm running?
[03:31] <deadly> wow i am soo confused with all this server setup stuff
[03:31] <deadly> just for a basic ftp transfer
[03:31] <Ben64> colinb_: little to none
[03:31] <colinb_> Ben: awesome!
[03:32] <Ben64> it's in the repositories, so you should just need to install it and go
[03:32] <colinb_> sweet!
[03:32] <dn4> how do I find my usb hdd on my computer
[03:34] <airlynx> 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] <Capnpat> Could someone help me with a networking/Atheros driver issue?
[03:35] <escott> 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] <airlynx> 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] <Bray90820> apwbdjp would you be able to help me write the script
[03:38] <apwbdjp> 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] <apwbdjp> Bray90820, I also know nothing about how to detect when a convertible switches to Tablet mode
[03:40] <Bray90820> well i didn't really wanna change the conf of firefox just click a button
[03:40] <Bray90820> just to enable and disable an exstention
[03:40] <Bray90820> i could do that manually tho if i had to
[03:40] <Vivekananda> 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] <escott> Vivekananda, well thats just a display format issue. you could use a gui tool like meld or gvimdiff
[03:42] <Vivekananda> escott: meld or gvimdiff has diff as the background ?? is gvimdiff already installed ??
[03:42] <Bray90820> anyways i gotta go
[03:42] <escott> 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] <Bray90820> i will be back in like an hour or so
[03:42]  * Bray90820 is away
[03:44] <escott> Vivekananda, if you have gvim installed you can use gvim. but thats still just diff with colors
[03:45] <escott> Vivekananda, if you want something that is not line oriented like http://diffxml.sourceforge.net/
[03:45] <Vivekananda> 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] <Vivekananda> I tried gvimdiff but it is just one huge line :(
[03:46] <Vivekananda> I will try meld
[03:46] <escott> Vivekananda, then put a newline character in your xpath output
[03:46] <Vivekananda> hmm
[03:48] <escott> 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] <Vivekananda> 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] <crippledmonk> Vivekanada, does VIM do what yo want?
[03:49] <Vivekananda> I guess will have to manually sift through the code
[03:49] <Vivekananda> ok hold on I will just paste what I have ---
[03:49] <escott> Vivekananda, what is your xpath query?
[03:50] <escott> Vivekananda, and what xpath tool are you using to run the query
[03:51] <Vivekananda> http://pastebin.com/HF7P2MLG
[03:51] <dn4> where are the fonts located in ubunt
[03:51] <Vivekananda> escott: This is just for the database class and I am running this on their online interactive page(Stanford :))
[03:51] <escott> dn4, /usr/share/fonts i believe
[03:52] <escott> Vivekananda, so Oracle?
[03:52] <Vivekananda> nope sql but this is not sql but xpath
[03:53] <Vivekananda> we have a sample file and have to run queries ( practice basically)
[03:53] <escott> Vivekananda, yes i got that. but is it the XML modules in Oracle?
[03:53] <chaz68> Anyone using new Teamviewer 8 with Ubuntu 12.04 and getting this?:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/1094218
[03:54] <holstein> chaz68: ive been using it and not getting it.. 64bit 12.04
[03:54] <Vivekananda> I dont understand your question. here is the link if you want to look at it but not sure if you could open the page itself
[03:54] <Vivekananda> http://class2go.stanford.edu/db/Winter2013/interactive_exercises/XMLCourse-CatalogXPathandXQueryExerciseschallenge
[03:54] <chaz68> Hmmm... My 12.04 was an upgrade from 10.04...
[03:55] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, unable to replicate, but you should read this first: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+question/222611
[03:55] <chaz68> holstein:  Is your 12.04 "a ground-up from scratch install"?
[03:55] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, the bug was converted into a question, by the way, it contains a workaround
[03:56] <holstein> chaz68: fresh install
[03:56] <TheLordOfTime> as is mine.
[03:56] <holstein> chaz68: not that im implying that is the issue... have you tried as another user?
[03:58] <chaz68> Guess I could, but that would kill the whole purpose of using Teamviewer.  The error / crash doesn't disable the system and I'm able to launch Teamviewer later.
[03:58] <chaz68> (Without login as this user, certain files and directories on the network would not be available and would hamper my user support effort...
[03:59] <holstein> chaz68: im saying, in an effort to troubleshoot.. if it works as expected as a new user, then the issue is with your config
[04:00] <chaz68> TLOT / holstein:  What do you think of TheLordofTime's referenced workaround?
[04:00] <TheLordOfTime> chaz68, no need to ping me, you know... you may want to also try as a separate user
[04:00] <TheLordOfTime> just in case.
[04:00] <holstein> chaz68: what do you think of it? does it work?
[04:00] <ubuntu> Heya
[04:00] <dn4> Error opening file '/usr/share/fonts/opentype/stix/MathJax_AMS-Regular.otf': Permission denied
[04:01] <dn4> why wont it let me move files into fonts
[04:01] <TheLordOfTime> dn4, that folder's a root-owned folder, you need superuser/sudo to move into there.
[04:02] <Juest> i have no idea why 1) sound automatically mutes 2) i can't run Source Engine cuz OpenGL problem, i have installed ati drivers properly
[04:02] <Juest> im on 12.1
[04:02] <Juest> 10
[04:02] <Juest> can someone help me please?
[04:03] <chaz68> I guess I should say, "is it necessary"?  I mean I get an error at boot but I can still run the program...
[04:03] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[04:03] <holstein> dn4: you can move as root.. sudo
[04:03] <dn4> I did
[04:03] <dn4> or I tried
[04:03] <dn4> how do I cp them ?
[04:03] <Juest> Hello holstein
[04:03] <holstein> dn4: you can cp them as root... sudo
[04:04] <holstein> !sudo | dn4
[04:04] <holstein> dn4: or, just add them for your user http://askubuntu.com/questions/18357/how-to-install-otf-fonts
[04:04] <Juest> eh
[04:04] <Juest> im /ignored or what
[04:04] <holstein> Juest: nope, its just not a social channel.. try the OT channel for chat
[04:05] <Juest> Well i have a problem with the system holstein
[04:05] <escott> Vivekananda, its been a while since i have worked with xpath and only on oracle, but there should be a way to output a newline after each result
[04:05] <holstein> !sound | Juest
[04:05] <Juest> 12.10: i have sound muted everytime i go in lightdm or any session
[04:06] <Juest> holstein: Sound is muted every time session changes (lightdm or user logged on)
[04:06] <Juest> Checked the apple
[04:06] <holstein> Juest: that is different than what i read above.. you login and sound mutes? can you unmute it?
[04:06] <holstein> Juest: the apple?
[04:06] <Juest> it's odd that it always muted
[04:06] <Juest> applet*
[04:06] <Juest> Even at login it's muted
[04:07] <Juest> and i unmute it
[04:07] <Juest> and it mutes again!
[04:07] <Juest> holstein: also i seem to have problems with graphics
[04:07] <Guest31079> hy
[04:07] <escott> dn4, just put your fonts in ~/.fonts
[04:08] <Juest> I have the lastest stable ati driver, but i can't run counter strike source, Might be because kernel update?? (yes, i updated kernel)
[04:08] <Juest> holstein
[04:08] <holstein> Juest: you have the latest driver from the repos?
[04:08] <dn4> escott, I cannot find that
[04:08] <Juest> Gnome shell doesn't work
[04:08] <Juest> holstein: Not from repos, from ATI
[04:08] <Juest> Repos have old fglrx
[04:09] <escott> dn4, make the folder then
[04:09] <Juest> Mutter doesn't work
[04:09] <Juest> compiz does
[04:09] <holstein> Juest: i would use the one from the repos and test
[04:09] <colinb_> is there any performance difference between a fresh install and a shared Windows install?
[04:09] <Juest> holstein: But the repo version is way too old: 9.x
[04:10] <Guest31079> hy all
[04:10] <holstein> Juest: i suggest testing with it.. you dont have to
[04:10] <bazhang> colinb_, wubi?
[04:10] <dn4> escott, ok I put a folder with the fonts in .fonts
[04:10] <dn4> is that ok"?
[04:10] <colinb_> yes I believe so
[04:10] <Guest31079> newbi
[04:10] <Juest> umm, what part of old driver you don't understand holstein ?
[04:10] <bazhang> Guest31079, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[04:11] <manicmac> How do I fix this: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[04:11] <manicmac> When trying to apt-get bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
[04:11] <escott> dn4, with .fonts in your home directory yes
[04:11] <bazhang> colinb_, a native install is much preferred to wubi
[04:11] <dn4> hmm mozilla isn't picking it pu
[04:11] <escott> dn4, did you restart mozilla
[04:11] <dn4> yes
 i connot speak englis
[04:11] <Juest> i have updated to new kernel and i have problems now, how i fix?
[04:12] <colinb_> bazhang, that's what I thought.. I just don't have a cdrom drive on this laptop nor a usb stick
[04:12] <bazhang> Guest31079, what language
[04:12] <escott> dn4, you might try logging out or putting the font files in ~/.fonts and not a subfolder of ~/.fonts
[04:12] <holstein> 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] <Juest> oh well
[04:12] <Guest31079> bazhang indonesia
[04:12] <Juest> But supported driver is not supported actually holstein
[04:12] <Guest31079> my englis is bad
[04:12] <bazhang> !id | Guest31079
[04:13] <Guest31079> ubottu makasi om
[04:13] <holstein> Juest: enjoy then! maybe another volunteer can help you
[04:13] <Juest> idk
[04:13] <colinb_> bazhang, is there anyway to do an install without cdrom or usb?
[04:14] <Juest> kernel update caused this kind of problems, how i fix?
[04:14] <bazhang> !repeat | Juest
[04:14] <Juest> colinb_: You can't, only on a vm
[04:14] <Juest> bazhang: How do i fix really?
[04:15] <dn4> mozilla is still not getting the fonts
[04:15] <Juest> It's urgent, that'why !repeat
[04:15] <dr_willis> select an older kernel at the grub menu
[04:15] <bazhang> Juest, dont repeat every five seconds.
[04:15] <Guest31079> ubottu caranya saya pendatang baru di ubuntu om
[04:15] <Juest> dr_willis: can't, i delete old kernels
[04:15] <dr_willis> reinstall them.
[04:15] <holstein> 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] <Juest> dr_willis: reinstall what? where i get the old kernel?
[04:16] <dr_willis> the old kernels are still in the repos...
[04:16] <Juest> holstein: idk, but i know that the repo package is OLD, should i reinstall the ati fglrx driver?
[04:16] <holstein> yeah,, and in your grub list Juest .. you can see them at boot time
[04:16] <ejv> you could (technically) use 'dd' to install ubuntu from an existing drive image, doesn't require USB or CDROM. good luck.
[04:16] <Juest> holstein: oh well, i delete the kernels i said
[04:16] <Guest31079> ubottu how to join ubutu-id
[04:16] <dr_willis> this is why you noemally keep 1 or 2 old kernels
[04:16] <IdleOne> Guest31079: /join #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia
[04:17] <Juest> Guest31079:  /join #ubuntu-id
[04:17] <holstein> 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] <Juest> holstein: oh well, i got to go anyway, Thanks, will reinstall fglrx
[04:17] <Juest> anyway
[04:18] <Juest> fglrx had survived kernel update
[04:18] <holstein> Juest: oh well?
[04:18] <Juest> it's just this kernel causing problems
[04:18] <Juest> upgraded from .23 to .25
[04:18] <holstein> Juest: you can install the ealier one and confirm that
[04:19] <holstein> earlier*
[04:19] <kevdog> in the house!!!
[04:19] <dn4> how do I see cp copy files
[04:19] <kevdog> ?
[04:19] <dn4> is there some verbose mode "?
[04:19] <IdleOne> dn4: cp -v
[04:20] <acu> hello, is there a channel with people who know about outer space - temperature at shadow or when fully facing sun ?
[04:20] <dr_willis> that was odd.. got muffled by floodbot
[04:20] <colinb> I wonder if one can boot from an SD card?
[04:21] <holstein> !ot | acu might be more appropriate
[04:21] <dr_willis> colinb:  my netbooks could
[04:21] <holstein> colinb: i use unetbootin on sdcards just like usb sticks
[04:21] <colinb> I suppose it is BIOS dependent?
[04:21] <dr_willis> colinb:  i whuld say yes.
[04:21] <holstein> colinb: i use PLOP to boot what i like, but i use PLOP from cd
[04:23] <dr_willis> ive had a full ubuntu install on sd card for my netbook
[04:23] <escott> dr_willis, stop being so helpful, you are flooding the channel
[04:24] <colinb> :)
[04:24] <Juest> i have my sdcard broken LOL
[04:24] <Juest> and i can't run gnome-shell
[04:25] <Juest> and i deleted old kernels
[04:25] <Juest> (to save space)
[04:25] <kevdog> why can't you run gnome-shell?
[04:25] <Juest> i can confirm kernel broke graphics
[04:25] <Juest> somehow
[04:26] <kevdog> you probably just need to reinstall video driver
[04:26] <holstein> kevdog: you mean, how can one run gnome-shell?
[04:26] <Juest> kevdog: i have flgrx installed
[04:26] <Juest> fglrx
[04:26] <Juest> and it's lastest
[04:26] <kevdog> that
[04:26] <kevdog> that's the ati driver right?
[04:26] <Juest> Yep
[04:26] <holstein> Juest: you can reinstall the kernel that worked/works
[04:27] <Juest> idk, i told u that i deleted kernel
[04:27] <dr_willis>  latest from the repos or from the ati sites Juest
[04:27] <holstein> Juest: you can *reinstall* them...
[04:27] <kevdog> if your internet still works cant you just use apt-get to get old kernel?
[04:27] <Juest> ati site dr_willis
[04:27] <bazhang> Juest, reinstall the old ones
[04:27] <Juest> works far better than 9.5x from repo
[04:27] <dr_willis> Juest: thats a huge part of your problem then
[04:27] <Juest> Why you guys insist with an older driver?
[04:28] <kevdog> because new one doesn't work??
[04:28] <bazhang> Juest, pay attention
[04:28] <dr_willis> we dont support non repo drivers
[04:28] <Juest> should i try reinstall these drivers?
[04:28] <Juest> idc, i want help anyway
[04:28] <holstein> Juest: the "help" is, you need to install something.. either the kernel that worked, or the driver that will likely work
[04:29] <Juest> gnome-shell and mutter don't run
[04:29] <dr_willis> yu MUST manually install the ati driver for each kernel if you use the one from the ati site
[04:29] <Juest> There's no kernel specification in ati website
[04:29] <Juest> only Xorg version
[04:29] <holstein> yeah, its likely just that you need to reinstall manually again Juest
[04:29] <holstein> Juest: its a module that gets built, since you are not using the repo version
[04:34] <coolroot> 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] <bazhang> coolroot, the installer will do that
[04:35] <coolroot> i tried using usb stick with bootable ubuntu 10.04 distro but i got error :(
[04:37] <bazhang> coolroot, any reason not to use 12.04 the most recent LTS?
[04:38] <dr_willis> !10.04
[04:39] <coolroot> hmmm might be too huge i mean i'm having a low spec in my laptop
[04:41] <kevdog> 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] <holstein> coolroot: i would try xubuntu 12.04 or lubuntu
[04:42] <cnblue> Hi, ibus can't switch to any IME  in WINE apps , anyone know a fix to that ?
[04:42] <escott> kevdog, you are on a dead-end desktop anyways
[04:42] <holstein> kevdog: i would backup everything, and expect to lose everything.. usually most settings try to be preserved
[04:42] <dcope> anyone in here bought the xps dell 13 (sputnik)? curious on the build quality.
[04:43] <bazhang> dcope, try ##hardware
[04:44] <escott> kevdog, i believe metacity still exists in 12.04 but it will be gtk3 based so won't be identical
[04:44] <kevdog> backup everything -- what's best way to do that other than like a clonezilla
[04:44] <PadNet_201> 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] <dcope> bazhang: thanks
[04:44] <dcope> i'll try there
[04:44] <bazhang> cnblue, check the appdb and ask in the wine support channel    #winehq
[04:44] <bazhang> !appdb | cnblue
[04:44] <dr_willis> !fsck
[04:44] <kevdog> I'm running compiz ontop of metacity -- and from my understanding compiz doesn't work in 12.04 -- or is that FUD
[04:45] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  id use the fsck command from a live cd
[04:45] <dr_willis> kevdog:  your whole statement is false..
[04:45] <bazhang> kevdog, compiz is a bit problematic yes
[04:45] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, is that b/c u can't run it on a mounted system?
[04:45] <dr_willis> compiz replaces metacity
[04:45] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  you dont fsck a mounted fs.. correct
[04:45] <bazhang> kevdog, but its with unity, not metacity
[04:45] <escott> PadNet_201, dr_willis +1 i wouldn't be touching anything on a filesystem if i was uncertain of its validitiy
[04:46] <kevdog> yea - -- but didn't gnome fallback get rid of unity?
[04:46] <dr_willis> compiz works ok for most people on 12.04 - it depends on your hardware and drivers
[04:46] <chaz68> 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] <dr_willis> kevdog:  get rid? it dosent uninstall it.
[04:47] <kevdog> arggh -- you can see I'm not using the correct language here.
[04:47] <bazhang> chaz68, acroread? should be in either partner or medibuntu repo, let me check
[04:47] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, escott, thx
[04:47] <dr_willis> kevdog:  if you want a light old skool desktop - try lubuntu
[04:47] <chaz68> 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] <faryshta> hi, can I install kik on linux?
[04:48] <dr_willis> faryshta:  and whats kik?
[04:48] <bazhang> chaz68, not to my knowledge
[04:48] <chaz68> 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] <faryshta> dr_willis, its a messenger for phones or something I am not sure
[04:48] <apb1963_> 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] <chaz68> 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] <dr_willis> faryshta:  you are not sure what it is...  but you want to install it.. is it a windows app or what exactly?
[04:49] <kevdog> 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] <dr_willis> kevdog:  you can make a custom compiz session if you really wanted to
[04:50] <dr_willis> compiz + a dock +  whatever ;)
[04:50] <faryshta> dr_willis, http://kik.com/
[04:51] <kevdog> Wasn't support for compiz like being dropped about that time -- or is that FUD as well.
[04:51] <dr_willis> kevdog:  compiz is still goint strong..
[04:51] <dr_willis> going
[04:51] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, any ideas why my browser tries to load and just crashes w/o warning? the fsck went well
[04:51] <kevdog> good to know !!!
[04:52] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  extensions would be my guess.. run it with a default empty/clean session perhaps
[04:52] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, wilco
[04:52] <dr_willis> compiz needs work in a great many areas.. but itsa getting better.
[04:54] <escott> kevdog, compiz is unity only these days
[04:54] <escott> kevdog, these days being 12.10 and up
[04:55] <faryshta> is it possible to install kik on ubuntu?
[04:56] <dr_willis> faryshta:  if its a windows app. you can try it in wine
[04:57] <PadNet_201> dr_willis, Imagine that, my reddit enhancement suite extension was causing problems... thx!
[04:57] <dr_willis> PadNet_201:  the revenge of /r/lolcats
[04:57] <PadNet_201> lol
[04:58] <dr_willis> i only seem to read redit from my phone...
[04:58] <Anirban> I am having problem installing Vuze from Software Centre....I cannot see it in the launch bar
[04:58] <dr_willis> not sure if fan of redit.. or of imgur
[04:59] <PadNet_201> lol I know what u mean
[05:01] <Anirban> I am using uuntu 12.04LTS
[05:02] <chadford1324> so where should I go for questions on trying to get a certain program to work?
[05:02] <chaz68> chadford1324:  What program?
[05:02] <chadford1324> c3 for voice chatting
[05:03] <Anirban> I have installed and removed Vuze both from the software centre and the command to terminal but of no avail
[05:03] <bazhang> Anirban, why not try a more stable torrent client
[05:03] <gwinbee> chadford1324: I'd assume the best method would be to find out if *they* run a chat and ask there.
[05:03] <bazhang> chadford1324, what is c3
[05:04] <chadford1324> its like an off-brand teamspeak
[05:04] <chadford1324> and its free lol
[05:04] <Anirban> Earlier I installed qBittorrent client , but it use to crash now and then so I tried Vuze.
[05:04] <bazhang> chadford1324, where is the source for installation
[05:04] <chaz68> chadford1324:   C3 a Windows platform?
[05:04] <gwinbee> Anirban: have you tried Transmission? Or utorrent via wine for that matter?
[05:04] <bazhang> Anirban, transmission and deluge are much more used
[05:05] <chadford1324> yeah it is for windows. I'm using wine to get it to install
[05:05] <chadford1324> I'm allow to post links right?
[05:05] <Anirban> @bazhang : Is Vuze not stable in Ubuntu ? Its quite stable in my Windows
[05:05] <apwbdjp> gwinbee, utorrent runs on Linux too, server version
[05:05] <gwinbee> apwbdjp: I did not know this
[05:05] <bazhang> Anirban, the java based torrent client? its not stable on any platform
[05:05] <ClientAlive> 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] <gwinbee> I switched to transmission years ago though...
[05:05] <dr_willis> !info vuze
[05:05] <apwbdjp> gwinbee, you just run it, and go to  http://localhost:8080/gui
[05:06] <gwinbee> interesting.
[05:06] <apwbdjp> It has a nice web interface
[05:06] <chaz68> 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] <dr_willis> most torrect clients can do a web interface these days
[05:06] <chadford1324> here is the link for the install bazhang http://www.downloadc3.com/
[05:06] <apwbdjp> And all the power of utorrent, with very very little resources usage
[05:07] <chadford1324> excuse my nubness but crossover?
[05:07] <chaz68> CrossOver's web page if you don't get it working in WINE:  http://www.codeweavers.com/
[05:07] <gwinbee> 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] <Anirban> 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] <crazyhorse> 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] <chadford1324> Ok cool thanks. I'll give this a try :)
[05:08] <crazyhorse> 2) how do you add a directory to the list of directories in the file explorer?
[05:09] <chaz68> gwinbee:  Utorrent is on LInux now????
[05:09] <safridzal> 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] <dr_willis> 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] <dr_willis> chaz68:  has been for some time
[05:10] <crazyhorse> 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] <chaz68> 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] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: just double click the titlebar?
[05:10] <gwinbee> chaz68: from what apwbdjp says, yeah. Server-based, you access it via your browser. see apwbdjp in backlog for details.
[05:11] <crazyhorse> 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] <crazyhorse> sorry in slice 1
[05:11] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: some badly written apps do that.
[05:11] <chadford1324> ohh ok chaz68 . I just started using ubuntu like 3 days ago or so lol
[05:11] <chaz68> dr_willis:  I see alpha download here...   http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux
[05:11] <chaz68> very cool - wasn't aware of that.
[05:11] <chadford1324> So I'm still learning my way around all of the programs and stuff
[05:11] <crazyhorse> pooh worked it out
[05:12] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: what video drivers and card?
[05:12] <crazyhorse> you have to drag to the bottom edge between slice2/slice3
[05:12] <Anirban> I have a incomplete torrent in my transmission . I want to start it
[05:12] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: macbook pro 6,1 (whatever that is)
[05:12] <crazyhorse> oh and i'm running in a VM so i'm guessing that makes it even more confusing :)
[05:12] <chaz68> chadford1324:  Didn't find C3 in the Crossover database.  Free 14 day trial.  May really like it if it works for your app.  Probably should see if your game works first...
[05:13] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: I've got so much work to finish i didn't want to go with the more risky partitioning option.. i'll do that later
[05:14] <crazyhorse> how do i lock the explorer window to always show list view?
[05:14] <chaz68> 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] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  ubuntu uses "nautilus" for its filemanager
[05:16] <Anirban> Can anyone tell me how to launch transmission
[05:16] <bazhang> Anirban, it has a menu icon
[05:16] <crazyhorse> ok in nautilus, how do you lock it so that it always shows list view?
[05:16] <dr_willis> Anirban: run transmission-gtk perhaps
[05:16] <chadford1324> Ok I'll talk to the people with c3 and some others Thanks for you help :)
[05:17] <Anirban> @bazhang : I cannot find it in the launch bar...
[05:17] <dr_willis> crazyhorse: no idea. never tried. askubuntu.com may know
[05:17] <crazyhorse> been googling :?
[05:17] <crazyhorse> :/
[05:17] <bazhang> Anirban, in unity?
[05:18] <dr_willis> i alays hit askubuntu.com befor i google
[05:18] <Anirban> 12.04 LTS 64 bit
[05:18] <dr_willis> 12.10's help lense searches askubuntu.com i recall. ;-)
[05:19] <bazhang> Anirban, thats not the shell. which one do you use
[05:19] <dr_willis> Anirban: run transmission-gtk perhaps and just pin it.
[05:19] <dr_willis> !find transmission-gtk
[05:20] <cheshair> Hi! How can I change my Ubuntu single sign-on username?
[05:20] <dr_willis> !info transmission-gtk
[05:21] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: awesome... yeah it was on there.. Edit > Preferences.. it's weird using a gui for an operating system you've used the command line for,for 5 years haha
[05:21] <bja> is there a known chrubuntu channel?
[05:21] <bja> either here or somewhere else?
[05:22] <theixle> bja, if you find one let me know. I'm curious about chrubuntu and the acer c7
[05:22] <bja> just wanted to talk over getting a newer kernel onto the machine
[05:22] <ttoti> There is a blog where someone posts instructions on how to install Chrubuntu
[05:23] <bazhang> bja, what is chrubuntu
[05:23] <ttoti> Its Ubuntu for the Chromebook
[05:23] <theixle> ttoti, Yeah read that blog
[05:23] <bja> ubuntu installed onto a google chromebook using the chromebook's native linux kernel
[05:23] <bja> I'm on it now
[05:23] <bja> am tracking 13.04
[05:23] <bja> but still using the kernel that shipped with the machine
[05:23] <ttoti> How is that running? I have Debian running on my CR-48 and its pretty good
[05:24] <bja> 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] <bja> fine
[05:24] <bja> I've sank about US$430 into it
[05:24] <bja> it now has a 128GB SSD, 16GB RAM, and an uprated battery
[05:25] <bja> (total including the $200 for the laptop)
[05:25] <theixle> wow, that's a nice upgrade
[05:25] <Anirban> I am still waiting or a answer
[05:25] <bja> but it's been my daily driver for almost two weeks now
[05:25] <ttoti> bja, nice! How is the upgrade?
[05:25] <bja> was pretty easy
[05:25] <bazhang> bja, thats out of scope for this channel
[05:25] <bja> 1 screw
[05:25] <bazhang> Anirban, answer to what
[05:26] <ttoti> I might get my hands on a Chromebook Pixel in may so hopefully there will be a port by then. I just wish ChromeOS was better
[05:26] <ttoti> Its really crippled due to the whole idea of it being on the internet
[05:26] <bja> started #chrubuntu
[05:26] <bazhang> !ot | ttoti bja
[05:26] <jiko> the only thing i hear about the pixel is people complaining about the price
[05:27] <bazhang> Anirban, he told you to run transmission-gtk from the run dialog and pin it to the launcher
[05:27] <Anirban> @bazhang : How to find the shell ?
[05:28] <bazhang> Anirban, alt f2    transmission-gtk    then right click launcher keep in launcher
[05:30] <dr_willis> the dash should bring up transmission  if you start to type it in also...
[05:30] <topper4125> any one know a terminal command to force the fan to high, then back to 'auto'?
[05:37] <Anirban> ok !!! I typed the command in the terminal and it worked
[05:38] <dr_willis> you act suprised... ;)
[05:38] <corehook> hi all! please help me, i change unity to classic gnome shell
[05:38] <corehook> and alt+tab now dont work
[05:39] <corehook> settings->keyboard->shortcuts->navigation->switch application is Alt+Tab
[05:39] <dr_willis> corehook:  what ubuntu version
[05:40] <anunnaki> corehook: are you able to edit it and change it to another key and see if that works?
[05:40] <corehook> 12.109
[05:40] <corehook> 12.10*
[05:40] <corehook> anunnaki, no, i try now.
[05:40] <corehook> changed to alt+`
[05:40] <dr_willis> see if super-tab works
[05:41] <corehook> but not work
[05:44] <rain> qqq
[05:44] <vivid> how can i set my microphone's default level? pulseaudio always sets this to some value that is nearly inaudible, every time i change it and reboot i have to change it again
[05:44] <crazyhorse> with chromium under ubuntu, does it update itself automatically or do you have to update it through apt-get?
[05:45] <rain> what's  you name?
[05:45] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  it uses the same package manager as all other stuff
[05:45] <rain> what's  your name?
[05:45] <topper4125> if you got it through a PPA it should auto update
[05:45] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  same for most everything you install via apt-get
[05:45] <rain> do you like ubuntu?
[05:45] <crazyhorse> ok.. the current guide i'm reading says sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium... to install, does that sound about right?
[05:45] <dr_willis> rain chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  that uses apt  and a ppa..
[05:46] <rain> ppa?
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  why do you need the ppa version?
[05:46] <dr_willis> !ppa
[05:46] <crazyhorse> dr_willlis: i'm not sure
[05:46] <crazyhorse> i just googled ubuntu chromium install
[05:46] <dr_willis> crazyhorse:  then i suggest NOT using a ppa then
[05:47] <dr_willis> its in the default repos
[05:47] <dr_willis> !info chromium-browser
[05:47] <crazyhorse> ok txs
[05:47] <topper4125> Chrome is PPA only cuz of closed sourse blog
[05:47] <topper4125> *blob
[05:47] <dr_willis> theres google-chrome from googles ppa you might want
[05:48] <rain> 找我
[05:48] <crazyhorse> rain: 闭嘴
[05:50] <rain> 这是干什么的
[05:51] <rain> 有人搭理我吗
[05:52] <dr_willis> !english
[05:52] <rain> ok
[05:56] <rypervenche> !cn | rain
[06:02] <Reece> So I did something stupid today. 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] <dr_willis> err.. minimal should be  using grub2
[06:02] <dr_willis> you got a grub menu? you can get to a root shell
[06:03] <dr_willis> i just dont remember how. ;)
[06:03] <Reece> 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] <dr_willis> Reece:  should be able to
[06:04] <dr_willis> remember to backup the original just in case
[06:04] <Reece> fantastic. I'll try that. thanks!
[06:04] <Reece> oops
[06:04] <dr_willis> and  use root rights to alter it
[06:04] <tripelb> #
[06:04] <Anirban> @bazhang : After checking my installed list I found that I have Vuze (2 items) installed still ( I was wrong!!). Now how to launch Vuze like transmission
[06:04] <dr_willis> ive made a root shell auto start up on tty6 befor also for a experimental system ;) that broke a lot
[06:05] <makara> hi. I have about 500 torrents I want to transfer from Transmission to Deluge. How to do?
[06:05] <dr_willis> Anirban:  tried searching for vuze in the unity dash?
[06:05] <Anirban> whats unity dash ?
[06:05] <dr_willis> Anirban:  you are using ubuntu/unity?
[06:06] <Anirban> where to find it . I am a newbie
[06:06] <dr_willis> tap the super key = brings up the 'dash'
[06:06] <dr_willis> !manual | Anirban  time to read the manual i think
[06:06] <Anirban> super key ???
[06:07] <dr_willis> yes. microsoft stole the super key and renamed it the windows key
[06:07] <dr_willis> super = brings up dash. alt = brings up the hud
[06:07] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:10] <Reece> I also eviscerated my groups settings for the default user; does anyone know where I can find the groups list for the default user in ubuntu-minimal?
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> so I've got ubuntu installed, but the first time I booted up, x crashed each time I started firefox
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> and now it fails to start at all and I am working in ttys, but I have a mouse
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> it's kind of weird.
[06:11] <sircmpwn_> 12.10
[06:13] <topper4125> weird mine started doing that too today SirCmpwn_ except my machine completely shuts down...
[06:14] <sircmpwn_> "kvm: disabled by bios"
[06:14] <sircmpwn_> I might blame nouvau or however you spell it
[06:15] <sircmpwn_> let's grab those propritary drivers, shall we? How does one shut off x from the command line in 12.10?
[06:17] <topper4125> sudo service gdm stop
[06:17] <sircmpwn_> sudo service lightdm stop, actually
[06:17] <KamranMackey> is anyone actually ere
[06:17] <KamranMackey> *here
[06:19] <sircmpwn_> well, that failed pretty quick
[06:19] <sircmpwn_> how does one get rid of nouvau
[06:21] <sircmpwn_> oh, apparently nvidia drivers are included in repos
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> trying to use jockey-text per the wiki to install proprietary drivers
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> fails and says to look in the log, log says: could not find module nvidia_current
[06:24] <sircmpwn_> which is interesting, because I installed it and it shows up in jockey-text --list
[06:25] <coolroot> why i try to upgrade using the terminal it stuck at grub 2 installation why? it took so much time like i leave it for 4hrs when i get back same still there without improving :(
[06:27] <sircmpwn_> well, I got x up again, at 640x480
[06:27] <lispghost> .
[06:27] <cellofellow> what would be the proper way to clone the MBR and first two partitions (not the others) of a hard drive to another?
[06:28] <cellofellow> oh, and those first two partitions are inside a larger extended partition, which I might have to resize but that's ok.
[06:28] <sircmpwn_> except, there's no unity around it
[06:28] <sircmpwn_> let's give it a reboot
[06:32] <coolroot> why i try to upgrade using the terminal it stuck at grub 2 installation why? it took so much time like i leave it for 4hrs when i get back same still there without improving :(

[06:39] <LoneTrooper> hi, is it possible to change length for windows buttons with labels less than 50 pixels in Xfce? Setting XfceTasklist::max-button-length = 32 in gtkrc won't make it.
[06:43] <LoneTrooper> Does anyone knows good spreadsheet application in text mode (launched via terminal)?
[06:44] <bazhang> LoneTrooper, try apt-cache search spreadsheet
[06:44] <coolroot> if i need to reformat my dualboot do i only need to reformat ext4 /dev/sda root? or do i need alway to get rid of linux-swap?
[06:45] <LoneTrooper> oh thank you bazhang i will try that
[06:45] <bazhang> coolroot, for a reinstall of 10.04?

[06:53] <kchengue> hello  veryone

[07:04] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[07:04] <ShapeShifter499> 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] <ShapeShifter499> I know the concepts of ssh -x  but I don't know how to start that on a different tty
[07:06] <dr_willis> using vino. or x11vnc would let rhem see/remote your desktop ShapeShifter499
[07:06] <dr_willis> they just run a vnc client and connect.
[07:06] <dr_willis> teamviewer could work also
[07:06] <ShapeShifter499> no its my own computers
[07:07] <dr_willis> so?
[07:07] <dr_willis> i vnc to my pc across the room...
[07:08] <ShapeShifter499> 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] <dr_willis> xdmcp sets you run a desktop on a remote pc and see it locally also.. but its not visible on the server
[07:09] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  you can xforward a xterm rhen start a whole desktop. but it may be very laggy
[07:09] <dr_willis> you would want to setup a special minimal x session i imagine
[07:10] <coolroot> dr_willis: can i use gparted to reformat my dualboot in ubuntu 10.04?
[07:10] <dr_willis> you can use gparted to do most anything..
[07:11] <dr_willis> disk wise that is. ;)
[07:11] <dr_willis> gparted exists in 10.04 i imagine. or use a gparted live cd
[07:11] <dr_willis> so im not clear on what your actual problem is
[07:11] <Kartagis> hi
[07:11] <coolroot> 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] <dr_willis> mount them and see what they are.
[07:12] <dr_willis> sudo blkid may give info also
[07:12] <dr_willis> i dont know what you want to do exactly
[07:13] <dr_willis> i would be SURE to make a recovery cd/dvd set  befor messing with stuff.
[07:15] <coolroot> i tried but nothing works i really do messed up my system bigtime
[07:15] <coolroot> can't use anything
[07:16] <Godel_> 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.
[07:16] <coolroot> i'm able to use apps if i'm booting in usb stick bootable 10.04 lucid in live mode
[07:16] <Godel_> http://superuser.com/questions/508511/slower-wireless-speed-in-ubuntu-12-04-64-bit-on-asus-usb-n13/509479#509479
[07:16] <corehook> guys, me@0day.kz:/$ sudo dmidecode -t memory|grep Maximum
[07:16] <corehook> 	Maximum Capacity: 16 GB
[07:16] <corehook> is it mean that i can put 2 modules with 8 gb ?
[07:16] <home> hola!
[07:17] <corehook> hola!
[07:19] <nn> htop seems to show process memory usage in percentage and not megabytes. Any way to change that?
[07:19] <EmLeX> Hola
[07:19] <cakeboss> Can anyone help me get opencv running in ubuntu?
[07:19] <cakeboss> erm...install it, I mean
[07:19] <cakeboss> I don't think  I did it correctly
[07:19] <pnorman> 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] <corehook> http://dpaste.org/y5U2Y/ here is dmidecode output for memory
[07:19] <corehook> so can i upgrade to 16gb ?
[07:20] <coolroot> 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] <dr_willis> corehook:  ask in #hardware perhaps
[07:20] <corehook> thx
[07:21] <dr_willis> coolroot:  mount them both and look. a normal install makes a / and a swap partition.
[07:21] <dr_willis> sudo blkid or sudo parted -l, or sudo fdisk -l may give info also
[07:21] <Godel_> Any thoughts on the wireless card? Or can you tell me where I should get help from?
[07:21] <dr_willis> if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap
[07:22] <dr_willis> Godel_:  you may want to check askubuntu.com also
[07:23] <Kartagis> hi
[07:23] <Godel_> 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] <Sara_> monitor shows that im downloading with 30kb/s but I don't know what it is downloading.
[07:24] <Sara_> so confiused
[07:24] <Kartagis> I'm broadcasting using mixxx. I'm trying to listen to it with clementine but what should the protocol be?
[07:24] <Godel_> dr_willis, also somebody on a Linux Mint website is suggesting this:
[07:24] <Godel_> 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] <coolroot> dr_willis: postimage.org/image/ttsie8no3/
[07:24] <Godel_> But I don't understand what that means and what I can do about it.
[07:25] <coolroot> dr_willis:  paste.ubuntu.com/5572725
[07:25] <coolroot> dr_willis:  paste.ubuntu.com/5572725/
[07:25] <Sara_> system monitor shows that i am downloading with 30 kb/s but I didn't ask it dowload anything whats going on?
[07:25] <dr_willis> coolroot:  so you have 1 linux partition ext4, and 2 swap partitions for some odd reason
[07:27] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: could be anything, what are you running now?
[07:27] <coolroot> so which one should i go to reformat?
[07:27] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: irc would be a good guess :)
[07:27] <coolroot> the /dev/sda7 which is my ext4?
[07:27] <dr_willis> coolroot:  since all 3 are part of a linux install..  you format all 3
[07:28] <dr_willis> if you are reinstalling you normally format your old / and swap   <<<<
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> 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] <MorpheusChalice> Do I have to add anything to the fstab file?
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> I am not really sure about the syntax that I am supposed to put into it.
[07:28] <dr_willis> MorpheusChalice:  yes
[07:28] <Sara_> aeon-Ltd: nope its not Irc and I was uploading some files using thunderbird but it should be finished by now
[07:28] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[07:28] <coolroot> what about the /dev/sda5? which is unknown? but yet it was under from a linux filesystem?
[07:28] <MorpheusChalice> dr_willis, ah.... what am I supposed to put in it, though?
[07:28] <dr_willis> coolroot:  i have no crystal ball that tells me what it is...
[07:28] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: thunderbird may be checking for new mail?
[07:29] <dr_willis> coolroot:  leave it alone if you dont know
[07:29] <coolroot> ok thanx alot dr_willis  i'll go and reformat my /dev/sda7 :D
[07:29] <dr_willis> MorpheusChalice:    the ntfs-3g docs and homepage show examples
[07:30] <MorpheusChalice> All right. Thank you for telling me about it. =).
[07:30] <MorpheusChalice> I will try to see if that works.
[07:30] <aeon-ltd> Sara_: i need to leave, i'm sure others here will take a crack at your problem
[07:30] <Sara_> its IMPaeon-ltd_: Its on IMAP it should not download by itself
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_: Its on IMAP it should not download by itself
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_: ok
[07:31] <Sara_> aeon-ltd_:thanks anyway
[07:32] <iceroot> anyone else facing "no sound" after the latest update of libdbus-glib-1-2? seems like pulseaudio can not connect
[07:33] <Godel_> The same question is asked on AskUbuntu.com without an answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129478/asus-n13-usb-and-n13-pci-cards-are-slow-on-12-04
[07:36] <dr_willis> might   be worth testing 12.10  and 13.04 to see if the issue is still there with them Godel_
[07:37] <dr_willis> it would seem a weird bug that affects both pci and usb cards
[07:37] <Godel_> I have 12.10 on my computer now.
[07:38] <dr_willis> i need to move up to 13.04 some weekend.. ;) i keep putting it off.
[07:39] <Godel_> Okay. I guess I will need to get a wireless device that works with Ubuntu.
[07:39] <Godel_> Do you know of anything that you have personally tried dr_willis ?
[07:39] <EarthDragon> when ubuntu 13.04 is coming?
[07:39] <dr_willis> i got several usb wifi dongles off amazon that work out of the box.
[07:39] <dr_willis> EarthDragon: 13.04 is the version and the date
[07:39] <dr_willis> 2013 4th month
[07:39] <EarthDragon> oh good to know
[07:39] <EarthDragon> thx
[07:40] <Godel_> Thanks  and good night
[07:41] <EarthDragon> hope they wont screw graphic drivers support further in 13.04 a lot of ppl have been complaining about 12.10
[07:42] <EarthDragon> and many switched to linux mint
[07:42] <dr_willis> people complain no matter what is done or not done...
[07:42] <EarthDragon> yet i managed to work xubuntu 12.10
[07:42] <dr_willis> and ive seen a lot of mint users switch back.
[07:42] <EarthDragon> lol
[07:43] <dr_willis> mint still seems unable to configure their irc clients to join the proper mint channles by default.. instead of here..
[07:43] <dr_willis> ;)
[07:43] <Fuzzles> im an ex mint user :P
[07:43] <nn> ha
[07:44] <nn> It joined the mint channels by default for me when i used it
[07:44] <EarthDragon> is that problem with pre installed irc client then?
[07:44] <dr_willis> ati and nvidia driver issues have always been a top 10 problem item.
[07:44] <dr_willis> along with flash, and wireless drivers.
[07:44] <dr_willis> the top 4 items i would say
[07:45] <EarthDragon> at least theres is the guide for ati card owners http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page
[07:45] <vsMS01> Hi. Does someone know about how to configure dnsmasq to only ask nameservers from the interface that provides the route to the default gateway?
[07:45] <EarthDragon> nvidia users have harder way i assume
[07:45] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  and that guide might actually work for some.
[07:45] <DrManhattan> ati is bad enough in windows, nearly worthless in linux
[07:45] <dr_willis> ive had no issues with nvidia on my machines
[07:45] <EarthDragon> dr_willis - i helped me a lot to install 13.1 catalyst drivers
[07:45] <dr_willis> i dont have any 'just came out last week' hardwaree either
[07:46] <ferronica> Need Help The installation or removal of a software package failed.
[07:46] <EarthDragon> without that guide i would be hanging out with glitching outdated driver
[07:47] <nn> >Not using debian and joining #ubuntu for faster support
[07:47] <nn> LinuxMint users i shigggy diggy
[07:47] <pnorman> 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

[07:50] <walidace> total = 0
[07:50] <wat__> someone kick walidace
[07:50] <marta> I would like to know, why i do apt-get distro upgrade command and the ubuntu dont go for the latest version of ubuntu...
[07:50] <ferronica> dr_willis, command please
[07:51] <dr_willis> ferronica:  pastebin 'df -hs 'output  i gave the command     <<<<<<<<<<<<<
[07:51] <dr_willis> df -hs
[07:51] <dr_willis>  ;)
[07:51] <ferronica> dr_willis,  df -hs df: invalid option -- 's'
[07:51] <dr_willis> marta:  there is no apt-get distro upgrade command.. what are you using
[07:52] <dr_willis> try without the s then. ;)  its du -hs   for  disk ussage.. heh
[07:52] <marta> ubuntu 12.04 i guess
[07:52] <dr_willis> df = disk free   du = disk ussage
[07:52] <wat__> -h humanreadable :)
[07:52] <dr_willis> marta:  and the command you are using is?
[07:52] <ferronica> Sorry
[07:53] <doomlord> wireless networking not showing up- how can i tell if the hardware is ok
[07:53] <marta> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:53] <dr_willis> marta:  that does not upgrade to a new release... ie:  12.04 to 12.10
[07:53] <ferronica> dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/5JKeH5V1
[07:54] <dr_willis> !upgrade | marta
[07:54] <marta> Ok thanks
[07:55] <marta> just one more question, should i change ubuntu gnome to xfce, or its better a xubuntu fresh install ?
[07:55] <EarthDragon> 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"?
[07:55] <dr_willis> ferronica:  your /boot is way too tiny.
[07:55] <marta> Thanks for the help :)
[07:55] <dr_willis> ferronica:  and is filling up
[07:55] <ferronica> dr_willis, what to do now to clean up
[07:55] <EarthDragon> well it was hard to unpack that run file i had look for every required libraries
[07:55] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  you found a guide that converted a .run to .debs  - thats handy
[07:56] <dr_willis> ferronica:  i would not have used a /boot/ that small. uninstall any old or extra kernels to free up space on  /boot/
[07:56] <EarthDragon> but dr_willis can i use these deb drivers on another fresh install or do i have to unpack run again?
[07:57] <ferronica> dr_willis, tell me command to clean all unwanted kernels
[07:57] <dr_willis> EarthDragon:  no idea
[07:57] <dr_willis> ferronica:  i dont know the exact command. because theres a lot of diffeerent kernels
[07:57] <dr_willis> i dont see why you used a seperate /boot/ in the first place.
[07:58] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has some guides on removeing old kernels
[07:58] <EarthDragon> oh omg well i better stay with my present os then

[07:59] <dr_willis> ferronica:  and that is what? the one you are using?
[07:59] <ferronica> dr_willis, yes
[08:00] <dr_willis> then i suggest you dont remove that one.. just older ones ferronica
[08:00] <dr_willis> those that end in 37 or below

[08:01] <lone_coder> hi novice ubuntu user here,, needed some help in installing vlc 2.0.4
[08:01] <dr_willis> looks like you got 2 you can remove. the 3.2  35 and 3.2 32
[08:02] <fullbuster> hi
[08:02] <EarthDragon> lone do u have ubuntu or ubuntu based opeating  system (like xubuntu)?
[08:02] <lone_coder> its only ubuntu
[08:03] <EarthDragon> thats good cos its easy to install vlc on ubuntu
[08:03] <ferronica> dr_willis, command to remove those image safely
[08:03] <ferronica> dr_willis, sudo apt-get remove ??
[08:03] <dr_willis> ferronica:  no idea..  i suggested checking the askubuntu.com guide for a reason
[08:04] <dr_willis> my /boot is 3tb in size.. ;)
[08:04] <tuxinator> hi all
[08:04] <dr_willis> !info vlc
[08:04] <PapaSierra> i just read that nginx needs to have read permissions on all folders in the hierarchy all the way up to /, does that make sense? seems a bit strange to me
[08:04] <tuxinator> dummy question, why i don't see a mount filesystem script in rc.x in ubuntu
[08:05] <dr_willis> tuxinator:  perhaps upstart handles it
[08:05] <ferronica> dr_willis, E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[08:05] <dr_willis> PapaSierra:  to access /foo/bar/folder       you need read rights to all 3  .. i belive
[08:05] <dr_willis> ferronica:  that tells us nothing withoug the command you used
[08:08] <PapaSierra> dr_willis: understood. ty
[08:09] <dr_willis> PapaSierra:  i thought foldere needed execute and read permissions however..
[08:10] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  keep it in the channel. and i suggest using the repo version of vlc, or finding a ppa if you need newer verrsions
[08:10] <lone_coder> i get error at the last step make install
[08:11] <dr_willis> you did make install or.. 'sudo make install'
[08:11] <lone_coder> sudo...
[08:11] <lone_coder> the error is: ./make-alias: Permission denied
[08:11] <lone_coder> make[2]: *** [cvlc] Error 126
[08:12] <dr_willis> perhaps that file is not executable when it should be.
[08:13] <lone_coder> any solution?
[08:13] <dr_willis> make it executable
[08:13] <lone_coder> pls explain.. new to linux
[08:13] <dr_willis> new to linux and you are compiling vlc? thats running befor you can crawl..
[08:14] <dr_willis> chmod +x foo    makes foo executable
[08:14] <lone_coder> ;)
[08:14] <dr_willis> !permissions | lone_coder  time to read up a little
[08:14] <lone_coder> thank u sire
[08:15] <dr_willis> you do realixe theres vlc ppa's so compiling is most likely pointless
[08:15] <dr_willis> !ppa
[08:19] <lone_coder> chmod: cannot access `foo': No such file or directory
[08:24] <nearst> hi ppl
[08:24] <lone_coder> Any expert ubuntu user here???
[08:24] <tuxinator> when starting my multipathed disk on iscsi gets not mounted
[08:25] <tuxinator> and i get a bootup error
[08:25] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  it dosent take an experet to tell you 'foo' is an example name
[08:25] <tuxinator> but iscsi and multipathd are started correctly because if i skip and then mount after bootup is complete it works
[08:25] <lone_coder> oh sorry,, m jst a beginner
[08:25] <lone_coder> what should be the executable name for vlc??
[08:25] <d1gital> #ubuntu, I had ubuntu installed on /dev/sda2.  Today I ran the installer and chose the "replace ubuntu" partitioning option.  Instead of overwriting /dev/sdb2, my /dev/sdb1 (/home) was formatted instead.  What's my best shot at recovering my lost data?
[08:26]  * dr_willis rambles about kids these days.. compiling vlc instead of helloworld.c, not knowing foo and bar for example names... and get off my lawn......   ;)
[08:26] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  that would be 'vlc'
[08:26] <nearst> yeah
[08:26] <nearst> ima not believe im installing w8 . lol
[08:26] <dr_willis> im amazed you actually got it compiled
[08:27] <lone_coder> Thank you,,, i just believe in taking a BIG STEP
[08:27] <morteza> Hi dear guys!

[08:27] <lone_coder> chmod: cannot access `vlc': No such file or directory
[08:28] <dr_willis> sounds like you are in either the wrong die. or the scripta/code is confused
[08:28] <nearst> locate vlc?
[08:28] <dr_willis> whats the exact command you are doing
[08:28] <T3X> how do i run a command and have it running for ever?
[08:28] <dr_willis> T3X:  what command? and define forever. ;)
[08:28] <lone_coder> sudo chmod +x vlc
[08:28] <MindSpark> T3X: you can't some day, the computer will die
[08:29] <dr_willis> no need for sudo
[08:29] <MindSpark> T3X: you can put it in the background though
[08:29] <nearst> vlc &

[08:30] <dr_willis> vlc is not in your current directory

[08:30] <Ben64> T3X: don't ping google forever
[08:30] <lone_coder> it's in documents
[08:30] <Fuzzles_> if i install the newiest kde using backports how can i back grade if i dont like it?
[08:30] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and your shells current working diectory is not..
[08:30] <MindSpark> another way of doing it is using screen. but you'll have to read the manual
[08:30] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  run 'pwd'
[08:31] <zloifei> hello. little question.. in BackTrack(Ubunta 10.0) I can`t find something like a "fstab" ...or other utility, which show me partitions size of each mount point(home, user, etc) ..pls, tell me how can I see this? thks
[08:31] <T3X> MindSpark: i tried that and procces killed
[08:31] <Ben64> zloifei: we don't support backtrack here
[08:31] <T3X> Ben64: google just and example i am pinging our local server
[08:31] <lone_coder> it says i am inthe vlc-2.0.4 dir
[08:31] <dr_willis> zloifei:  df -h    and sudo blkid
[08:31] <belgianguy> argh, my Ubuntu stopped booting after an update
[08:31] <nearst> !backtrack
[08:31] <MindSpark> T3X: does your process run if you execute it in foreground?
[08:31] <belgianguy> how can I force it to use VESA drivers from the root prompt?
[08:31] <MindSpark> or does it die shortly after you start it?
[08:32] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and wheres the vlc binary at..    use ls to see if its in the current directory
[08:32] <T3X> MindSpark: yes please it rans for couple days and stop
[08:32] <zloifei> dr_willis, thanks, man! =)
[08:32] <lone_coder> yup, there's a folder called bin
[08:32] <Ben64> T3X: whats the point of pinging constantly anyway?
[08:32] <XATRIX> Hi, is there any way to control fan speed or on/off via ACPI ? Feb 28 09:13:36 HP-Compaq-nc4010 kernel: [    1.169880] ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on)
[08:33] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  most likely iys in there.. and allready executable
[08:33] <MindSpark> T3X: I am not sure, but doesn't the ping command just do a limited  number of pings?
[08:33] <MindSpark> or was that windows?
[08:33] <Ben64> MindSpark: by default its forever in linux, windows is 4
[08:33] <belgianguy> isn't there a tool that lists the available gfx drivers?
[08:33] <belgianguy> I think fglrx or X as a whole is faulty
[08:33] <lone_coder> after i cmd make install,, it runs for sometime until that error comes
[08:33] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  in 12.04- theres the jockey-gtk tool
[08:33] <d1gital> I just accidentally formatted a 1TB parition.  Am I screwed as far as getting my data back?
[08:34] <belgianguy> dr_willis: does that have a txt only variant?
[08:34] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  its failing to compile so its not there is my guess...
[08:34] <T3X> Ben64: just to audit what times our host is not reachable, then investigate whey it is down.
[08:34] <nearst> belgianguy, and quantal still not yet support with latest fglrx.
[08:34] <Ben64> d1gital: formatted from what, to what? did you do a quick format? have you put any data on after formatting?
[08:34] <iciraus> A forever ping might be usefull.. if your having some problems.. just run a ping and let terminal be open while you try to fix your connection

[08:35] <d1gital> Ben64: it was a quick format, ext4->ext4, formatted by ubuntu installer (install completed)
[08:35] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  did you make the file make-alias executable? sounds like you may have deeper issues
[08:35] <Ben64> d1gital: so you installed on it?
[08:35] <d1gital> Ben64: yes
[08:35] <lone_coder> m into this from y'day night,, pls help
[08:36] <EarthDragon> u can download property drivers from amd website and unpack run file into3 deb packages and install them
[08:36] <Ben64> d1gital: well... photorec could get some stuff off of it
[08:36] <MindSpark> Ben64:  right :)
[08:36] <MindSpark> T3X: are you sure the process dies? did you try to find it in ps or top?
[08:36] <shape> Hello, I used to run ubuntu 8.04 and I remmeber I could type a command and see which processes were  running and get their PIID (?? I forgot what it's called) but it's a number and I could use kill +  that number to end the program?
[08:36] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we covered how to make a file executable at the start of this..  'chmod +x foo'  remember?
[08:36] <nearst> belgianguy, ikr. same like me too.. but it just nk work good unless got support in 1.13 xorg
[08:36] <d1gital> Ben64: Thanks; I'll give it a try
[08:36] <XATRIX> Hi, is there any way to control fan speed or on/off via ACPI ? Feb 28 09:13:36 HP-Compaq-nc4010 kernel: [    1.169880] ACPI: Fan [FAN] (on)
[08:36] <Ben64> shape: ps? top? htop? atop?
[08:36] <EmLeX> shape: please dont repeat questions so quick
[08:37] <EmLeX> but as ben says shape anu of those works
[08:38] <lone_coder> i have made it executable,, running make install again
[08:38] <shape> Ben64: It's not those for sure but yes, similar, it was all the running programs, like task manager in windows, and it was just one command and I could get the PID.
[08:38] <Ben64> shape: pstree?
[08:38] <dr_willis> all those were just 1 command.. ;)
[08:38] <shape> Ben64: nope :(
[08:39] <Ben64> its definitely one of those
[08:39] <dr_willis> ps ax | grep commandname
[08:39] <Ben64> i'm pulling for "ps"
[08:39] <dr_willis> ;)
[08:39] <dr_willis> ps has like 1000 options
[08:39] <T3X> MindSpark: yes it dies
[08:39] <shape> Ben64: I just tried PS and pstree and I'm running firefox for example and it doesn't appear there
[08:40] <dr_willis> ps ax | grep firefox
[08:41] <lone_coder> everything is done without error but cant find vlc in software center
[08:41] <shape> dr_willis I see, but I remember it was something simpler, that would list me all the programs. That works, but what if I don't know the name of the program to grep?
[08:41] <EmLeX> shape: ps aux |grep firefox
[08:41] <tuxinator> how to restore init scripts from a ubuntu package
[08:41] <EmLeX> shape: then run ps aux
[08:41] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  err.. if you are compiling from source.. that is NOT using the software center
[08:42] <lone_coder> now,, how to open vlc?? ;-)
[08:42] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  and vlc is in the software center.. theres no need to be messing with the source code
[08:42] <shape> emlex OMG! are those all the running processes for sure?
[08:42] <EmLeX> lone_coder: type vlc in terminal == profit
[08:42] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  did make install actually work?
[08:42] <EarthDragon> lolz
[08:42] <lone_coder> ya..;)
[08:42] <EmLeX> shape: yea if u are not jailed
[08:42] <EmLeX> then run it as root
[08:43] <EarthDragon> i want TORRENT
[08:43] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  the text should have said where it installed to..
[08:43] <Ben64> !torrent | EarthDragon
[08:43] <shape> Emlex: NICE, thanks a lot! Btw I remember the command i used to use to get the PID was something like chk or something do you know anything about that?
[08:44] <lasers> !torrents
[08:44] <lone_coder> vlc==profit dint return anything
[08:44] <EarthDragon> torrents FTW
[08:44] <EmLeX> never heard about a pid command starting with chk

[08:45] <shape> Emlex: Either way, it works and it gets me what I want and it's super simple, Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!
[08:45] <EmLeX> Thank Ben64 he did say ps before me :)
[08:45] <lone_coder> how to use pastebin,,, pls elaborate
[08:45] <dr_willis> or read the messages.. ;) it should say where its installing to...
[08:45] <Ben64> ps was one of the first things i ever learned about linux
[08:46] <dr_willis> !pastebin | lone_coder
[08:46] <EarthDragon> for someone who doesnt know about torrents https://images.encyclopediadramatica.se/9/99/Bt2.jpg
[08:46] <Ben64> EarthDragon: don't paste stuff like that here
[08:46] <EarthDragon> k
[08:46] <dr_willis> i only torrent from the neighbors open wifi. ;)
[08:46] <dr_willis> at 3 am...
[08:46] <nearst> hehe
[08:47] <shape> EmLeX: I did thank him before you :)
[08:47] <lone_coder> pastebin: command not found
[08:47] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  so install it?
[08:47] <EmLeX> oh.
[08:47] <dr_willis> its pastebinit
[08:47] <dr_willis> !info pastebinit
[08:48] <lone_coder> the make install is finished,, where to find vlc?
[08:48] <Ben64> lone_coder: you should just be able to type "vlc" and have it open now
[08:48] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  the messages say where it installed to.. could be /usr/local/ or /opt/ we dont know
[08:48] <dr_willis> if itsa in your default path you just run 'vlc']
[08:48] <EmLeX> shape: remember linux is as powerfull as u want it to be.. u can combine lots of commands to make it do exacly what u want it to do
[08:48] <EmLeX> when u get bether
[08:49] <shape> EmLeX: Yeah, That is the purpose of all this, me trying to learn Linux :)
[08:49] <Ben64> also remember "--help" and "man <command>"
[08:49] <Ben64> works on almost everything
[08:49] <lone_coder> bash: !info: event not found
[08:49] <Ben64> lone_coder: ... what are you doing
[08:49] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  becauase !command are channle bot commands....
[08:50] <dr_willis> when in the channel
[08:50] <dr_willis> and bash history commands in bash
[08:50] <lone_coder> i dnt undstand,, pls explain

[08:51] <nearst> huhu
[08:51] <EarthDragon> omg lone coder why dont u install vlc via ubuntu software center
[08:51] <Ben64> yeah what he said
[08:51] <cronus> hello, I have copied casper directory from live usb to hd. Now, when I boot from usb, it finds the casper directory on hd and boots from there. Is there a way to force it to boot from usb? thanks
[08:51] <nearst> i think umplayer is more good than vlc. have subs finder too
[08:51] <dr_willis> he wants to learn how to code.......  and cant start with hellowworld.c
[08:51] <lone_coder> it's almost done... help me guys
[08:52] <EarthDragon> nope SMplayer is better
[08:52] <lone_coder> :-D
[08:52] <Ben64> mplayer is the best
[08:52] <EarthDragon> no u
[08:52] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we dont normally compile vlc here..  better to ask in #vlc
[08:52] <lone_coder> i knw the basics of c pogramming
[08:53] <lone_coder> in #vlc, i have to start all over again.. pls help
[08:53] <Ben64> i made a hello world program in 68 bytes
[08:54] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  i would guess vlc installed to non standard directories..  and the lib files are in some odd placd.. thats about all i know
[08:54] <EarthDragon> thats so unoptimized for such a program
[08:54] <EarthDragon> try assembler
[08:54] <Ben64> i did have it down to 44 bytes, but it isn't working on this kernel
[08:54] <Ben64> i did use asm
[08:54] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  start with 'sudo updatedb'  then 'locate libvlc.so.5'
[08:55] <lone_coder> Then, Can u guide me in studying linux deeply
[08:55] <EarthDragon> try machine code then
[08:55] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  we have been sending you urls to read all night
[08:55] <nearst> lone_coder, make clean, and proceed to apt-get installl vlc. u may love to handing compile later :P
[08:55] <dr_willis> sudo make uninstall
[08:55] <dr_willis> ;)
[08:56] <lone_coder> :-(.. 17 mb wasted
[08:56] <EarthDragon> or Ubuntu software center...
[08:56] <nearst> ya. make uninstall clean
[08:56] <nearst> usually compile binary in on /usr/local/bin ?
[08:56] <belgianguy> okay, I'm back in GUI, but X doesn't load and there's no Unity
[08:56] <burtonium> lone_coder: why bothering compiling player from source, when you can't even understand errors?
[08:56] <belgianguy> when I run startx, I get a FATAL:module fglrx not found
[08:57] <belgianguy> but I just installed that, as well as fglrx-amdcccle
[08:57] <lone_coder> i run windows on the same machine which has all the sftware.. jst wanted to learn linux
[08:57] <EarthDragon> probably u dont have required libraries lone coder to compile VLC
[08:57] <dr_willis> lone_coder:  compiling vlc is not learning linux
[08:57] <burtonium> lone_coder: you've started it wrong way
[08:57] <deo> 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
[08:58] <lone_coder> ;-0
[08:58] <deo> its sayd /usr/bin/python: Permission Denied :(
[08:58] <deo> what should i do?
[08:58] <dr_willis>  id bet vlc put the libs in /usr/local/libs or somthing and he needs a sudo ldconfig
[08:58] <EarthDragon> sudo!
[08:58] <lone_coder> Thanx for everything guys,, Bye
[08:58] <burtonium> lone_coder: read, read, read a bit first? to get familiar with concept a bit, and how things actually work. You won't learn by asking on chat, about things you even don't understand
[08:59] <deo> have anyone tried to fix missing launcher in ubuntu 12.04?
[08:59] <lone_coder> cn u refer to some good resources?

[09:01] <deo> guys any ideas?
[09:02] <Ben64> hmm, someone downloaded my program on a droid
[09:02] <jony> why I can't write to USB stick in ubuntu 12.04<
[09:02] <jony> ?
[09:02] <EarthDragon> im linux beginner too and whats the point of compiling programs when u can install deb packages?
[09:02] <deo> anyone tried fixing missing launcher in ubuntu?
[09:02] <Ben64> jony: we're gonna need quite a few more details in order to help you
[09:02] <Ben64> !anyone | deo
[09:02] <deo> i give it already Ben64
[09:02] <nearst> !ask
[09:03] <jony> firstly th attached USB stick didn't showed up at all
[09:03] <Ben64> EarthDragon: sometimes you want to modify it, or have a newer version
[09:03] <EarthDragon> oh thx ben64 for info
[09:03] <deo> 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] <jony> after I've installed usb-mount, it shows up, but in read only mode only
[09:04] <marta> !mv
[09:04] <Ben64> jony: ubuntu by default mounts all usb drives, you shouldn't have to install usb-mount or anything like that. what version of ubuntu?
[09:04] <marta> !move files
[09:04] <Ben64> marta: ???
[09:05] <jony> 12.04
[09:05] <Ben64> jony: ubuntu? kubuntu? xubuntu? lubuntu? something else?
[09:05] <jony> ubuntu
[09:05] <marta> Sorry.... trying to move files from a folder to a folder that was root permissions only
[09:05] <Ben64> desktop version? server version?
[09:05] <SierraAR> What's the difference between all of those?
[09:05] <marta> but i can only move the folder...
[09:05] <Ben64> marta: sudo
[09:05] <jony> desktop 32 bit
[09:05] <marta> i know i do that ... but still
[09:05] <Ben64> SierraAR: desktop environment mostly
[09:06] <marta> i tryed also sudo mv -b ... mv -t ... nothing
[09:06] <Ben64> jony: does it not show up in Places in the menu?
[09:06] <SierraAR> marta: Have you tried copying them, then deleting from the original location?
[09:07] <SierraAR> Won't solve the issue of mv not working, but if that works it should be the same end result
[09:07] <marta> humm.. no i didnt. Im gonna try that :) thanks for the help
[09:08] <EarthDragon> 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] <jony> it mounts in /media/usb0
[09:08] <marta> Thank you very much EarhDragon
[09:08] <EarthDragon> np
[09:09] <belgianguy> 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] <belgianguy> can I force my system to use VESA, and make X run in "safe mode" ?
[09:09] <belgianguy> jockey-text doesn't do anything
[09:10] <belgianguy> so maybe I need to install those drivers first
[09:10] <thejollygrimreap> stepspermm
[09:10] <belgianguy> I'm working through tty2 atm
[09:10] <thejollygrimreap> stepspermm?
[09:12] <jony> how can I insert the persons noickname before writing my message here?
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> put a :
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> in front
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> eg jony:
[09:12] <thejollygrimreap> jony:
[09:12] <nearst> shutdown -t 002 /g
[09:13] <SierraAR> 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] <dr_willis> !tab
[09:14] <jony> Ben64, it mounts in /media/usb0
[09:14] <jony> SierraAR, TY!
[09:14] <Ben64> jony: yeah, well you're using usbmount, and i don't ever use that
[09:14] <SierraAR> jonathaN: Np
[09:14] <SierraAR> Jony*
[09:14] <SierraAR> (And that was me derping with autocomplete!)
[09:14] <jony> Ben64, ok, but it didn't worked at all before
[09:15] <Ben64> maybe it did and you didn't see it?
[09:21] <ZadYree> One quick question: Is there a recent guide for reinstalling a system (ubuntu) whose hard disk was encrypted by LUKS (cryptsetup) ? The aim would be to keep /home directory

[09:31] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  login at the console.
[09:31] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  your .Xauthority file may be owned by root.. rename it
[09:32] <marta> humm... i change the settings tab to gksu %s and it went to user swap mode, asked my pass but give me an error saying permission denied
[09:33] <marta> im using PCManFM 0.9.10
[09:35] <marta> lol i did it.... tryed only gksu... sorry for the "spam" ;)
[09:35] <dr_willis> settings for what exactly?
[09:35] <dr_willis> ;) i was going to suggest that
[09:35] <marta> thank you
[09:37] <bellaseem> hello
[09:37] <belgianguy> I think my X installation is totally borked
[09:37] <belgianguy> can one reinstall X?
[09:38] <dr_willis> you can..  but it may not fix anything
[09:38] <dr_willis> depends on what you borked
[09:39] <nearst> apt-get install --reinstall X bla bla
[09:41] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I keep looping on the login screen
[09:41] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  that dosent mean x is borked
[09:41] <bellaseem> not alot of ubuntu fans in here huh
[09:41] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  make a new user and see if they can login
[09:41] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  at console 'sudo adduser billgates'
[09:41] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I'll try that
[09:43] <joey8> belgianguy➤ i had similar prob i had to use "sudo usermod -u <yourusername>" and it fixed it. this may not apply to you but i am offering it fwiw
[09:43] <dr_willis> every time ive seen the issue. it was the users .xauthority file. or other user config giles crashing  the desktop
[09:44] <dr_willis> no idea what usermod -u even does.   ;)
[09:44] <nearst> chmod ?
[09:44] <bentinata> "can't connect to mysql.sock(2)" what's that mean?
[09:45] <dr_willis> bentinata:  mysql is not accepting the connection perhaps
[09:46] <stevegjacobs> join #openstack
[09:53] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I could log in, but immedetlty got an error that Compiz quit unexpectedly (crash)
[09:53] <belgianguy> immedeatly*
[09:53] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  compiz crashed on a newly made user?
[09:53] <belgianguy> dr_willis: correct
[09:54] <dr_willis> but the desktop dident close back to the login screen?
[09:54] <belgianguy> dr_willis: no, it did not close back
[09:54] <belgianguy> I did try to reinstall fglrx earlier, as I thought it broke
[09:54] <dr_willis> so that points to some driver issue. not working with compiz/3d
[09:55] <belgianguy> but it won't let me clean it out and reinstall
[09:55] <dr_willis> you could install lubuntu-desktop for a working desktop to use untill you get it figured out.
[09:55] <dr_willis> i dont mess with fglrx enought to know what to fix
[09:56] <belgianguy> dr_willis: fglrx is a world of pain
[09:56] <dr_willis> you used fglrcx from the repos or from the ati site?
[09:56] <belgianguy> dr_willis: the one I had was from the ATI site,the one I installed was from repo
[09:56] <dr_willis> you did uninstall the ati site one first?
[09:56] <Lynxx> is the ubuntu update thingy down?
[09:57] <antonys>  /Server irc.irc-hispano.org
[09:57] <Lynxx> i keep trying to update and it returns 404 not found
[09:57] <belgianguy> yes, but it complained about certain folders
[09:57] <dr_willis> lynxx could be a local mirror is down.
[09:57] <belgianguy> I removed those manually, otherwise the new one refused to install, even with the -f flag
[09:58] <belgianguy> is there a way to reset the whole gfx environment to "basics", as in "not use fglrx"
[09:58] <Lynxx> ok
[09:58] <ShapeShifter499> dr_willis: sorry my internet connection crashed, where is the .Xathority file located?
[09:58] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  remove the fglrx drives should do that
[09:58] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  in your home
[09:58] <belgianguy> sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* then ?
[09:59] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  guess you can try. ;)
[09:59] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  you may want to install some backup desktop and console irc client just in case
[10:01] <belgianguy> 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] <bentinata> "can't connect mysql.sock(2)" any help?
[10:03] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  copy imporntant files over to other pc..  reinstall perhaps? ;)
[10:03] <bentinata> Anyone?
[10:04] <ShapeShifter499> dr_willis: thank you that worked
[10:04] <belgianguy> 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] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  running some stuff via sudo instead of gksudo can do that
[10:06] <ShapeShifter499> dr_willis: I'd like to run virtual box in another tty, how do I do that without sudo?
[10:06] <dr_willis> belgianguy:   you did remove the old xorg.conf after removeing fglrx drivers?
[10:06] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I'm still removing them
[10:06] <belgianguy> should I delete the xorg.conf again?
[10:06] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:   no idea on the right way to spawn a 2nd x session these days.. askubuntu.com may know
[10:07] <ShapeShifter499> Ok thank you
[10:07] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  default drivers should auto config
[10:07] <belgianguy> tbh I made aticonfig generate a new one, but that didn't help in the least
[10:07] <bentinata> Anyone?
[10:07] <dr_willis> if you are not using fglrx then that xorg.conf will be wrong
[10:08] <belgianguy> okay, so the remove of fglrx just completed
[10:08] <belgianguy> any recommendations on what to do next?
[10:08] <dr_willis> you did reboot aftet removeing the .run drivers and installing ghe fglrc drivers?
[10:09] <dr_willis> i imagine you need to reboot after uninstalling the fglrx drivers via apt also
[10:09] <dr_willis> and remove the xorg.conf
[10:09] <belgianguy> first reboot, then remove xord.conf?
[10:10] <belgianguy> xorg*
[10:10] <dr_willis> id remove it first
[10:10] <belgianguy> ok
[10:12] <g0tcha> hey guys, i installed redmine through apt-get and im wondering how can i update these packages?
[10:12] <belgianguy> dr_willis: seems it didn't exist anymore :s
[10:12] <belgianguy> just reboot then?
[10:12] <belgianguy> (there are a lot of backups though)
[10:14] <dr_willis> g0tcha:  apt should update them as updates come out.
[10:14] <dr_willis> g0tcha:  if you want nrwer versions you will need to look for a ppa most likely
[10:14] <ypwong> anyone has the missing bluetooth-applet problem on raring?
[10:14] <dr_willis> !info redmine
[10:14] <ypwong> now i got a new cloud indicator but the bluetooth one is gone :)
[10:15] <dr_willis> ypwong:  rareing support in #ubuntu+1
[10:15] <ypwong> dr_willis, thx
[10:16] <g0tcha> dr_willis, thanks.. is there a way to check if there is a "backport" for redmine that has a recent version?
[10:16] <g0tcha> im not sure if backport is the right one
[10:16] <rsthelord> 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] <imran2> how can i keep pidgin keep running in the background
[10:18] <belgianguy> dr_willis: rebooted, now just a flashing cursor after GRUB selection
[10:18] <dr_willis> time to try nomode set option
[10:18] <dr_willis> nomodeset
[10:18] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[10:18] <belgianguy> I'll boot ir recovery mode, here I can't do much
[10:19] <dr_willis> hmm. silly bot..
[10:19] <dr_willis> edit grub menu at boot..  'quiet splash' becomes 'quiet nomodeset nosplash'  ;)
[10:19] <belgianguy> dr_willis: forums are down
[10:19] <dr_willis> i hate splash
[10:20] <pvh_sa> 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] <dr_willis> boot.. grub menu.. hit 'e'
[10:20] <belgianguy> dr_willis: how does one drop into that mode again at th egrub menu?
[10:20] <belgianguy> ah okay
[10:20] <belgianguy> this window doesn't auto scoll
[10:20] <dr_willis> grub-fu 101 ;)
[10:21] <dr_willis> theres also the 'text' option. to get ubuntu to boot to a fallback text console
[10:22] <belgianguy> dr_willis: it already has nomodeset
[10:22] <dr_willis> hmm.. wonder if that was breaking your fglrx drivers...
[10:23] <dr_willis> i dont use them enough to know
[10:23] <dr_willis> try removeing it i guess
[10:23] <belgianguy> dr_willis: probably not, it's been good for months
[10:23] <dr_willis> you did try booting with older kernels?
[10:26] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I tried with some, could login, but X didn't work there either
[10:26] <belgianguy> now I can't start recovery mode of my most recent kernel, bummer
[10:27] <dr_willis> hmm.. none of this should break recovery mode
[10:27] <dr_willis> or 'text' mode
[10:29] <dr_willis> 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] <deo> hi guys how do we re install unity?
[10:29] <deo> i found my launcher is missing after a reboot :(
[10:29] <deo> how can we get it back ? any ideas?
[10:29] <belgianguy> dr_willis: atm I tried the 3rd kernel in the list, am back to looping at login
[10:29] <dr_willis> deo:  why do you need to.    what launcher? that may not be unity broke
[10:29] <belgianguy> proceed with reinstalling ubuntu-desktop?
[10:30] <dr_willis> deo:  first test would be to make a new user saee if they work right
[10:30] <deo> dr_willis: what i mean is i cant find those menus above
[10:30] <deo> im using 12.04
[10:30] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  yea. i dont see how it could hurt
[10:30] <dr_willis> deo:  if a newly made user works.. then its a  user setting issue with the problem user
[10:30] <dr_willis> not a unity/system issue
[10:31] <deo> hmmn okay will try to create anothe dr_willis
[10:31] <deo> can it be done using command line?
[10:31] <dr_willis> deo:  at console/term   sudo adduser billgates
[10:32] <deo> dr_willis: do i need to reboot after creating the user?? i already created a new user..
[10:32] <deo> using command line...
[10:32] <belgianguy> dr_willis: just tried logging in with my billgates account
[10:32] <deo> rebooting machine
[10:32] <belgianguy> that works
[10:32] <belgianguy> eg unity and the Dash
[10:33] <deo> belgianguy: ur launcher lost too?
[10:33] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  thats good
[10:33] <belgianguy> deo: my system stopped working when I rebooted yesterday
[10:33] <dr_willis> so now you can clean out old problematic settings from  the problem users homes.
[10:34] <imran2> how can i keep pidgin keep running in the background???????????????
[10:34] <belgianguy> dr_willis: what would I look for? Log files?
[10:34] <dr_willis> move the dirs like   .compiz and .local  and .Xauthority to some backup dir
[10:34] <deo> imran2: minimize it ;p
[10:34] <dr_willis> i forger other names
[10:34] <dr_willis> forget
[10:35] <dr_willis>  .config also
[10:35] <belgianguy> yeah, I do think Compiz was the biggest issue here
[10:35] <deo> created a new user dr_willis .. but logging in takes time
[10:35] <dr_willis> or just move what looks related to compiz/unity ;)
[10:35] <deo> wil just wait
[10:35] <dr_willis> i am cleaning out my home constantly during beta testing
[10:35] <Giovads> ciao
[10:36] <dr_willis> no list here. ;)
[10:36] <deo> dr_willis: .. im on the new user created... but still no launcher or menu found :(
[10:36] <Giovads> !list
[10:36] <dr_willis> deo:  that points to a driver/3d driver/compiz issue
[10:36] <deo> so what should i do dr_willis :(
[10:37] <dr_willis> deo:  since i dont know what drivers or 3d card you got... some info would be nice..
[10:37] <dr_willis> but ita about time for me to leave for a few hrs.
[10:37] <deo> what info do u need dr_willis
[10:38] <dr_willis> deo:   what drivers or 3d card you got..
[10:38] <dr_willis> and 3d card..
[10:38] <deo> hmmm i dont have 3d card dr_willis
[10:38] <deo> im using a dell vostro laptop
[10:39] <dr_willis> i dont think theres a chipset out  thats dosent have 3d  support
[10:39] <dr_willis> at least not in the last feqw years
[10:39] <dr_willis> and its video card is a?
[10:39] <dr_willis> lspci can give info
[10:39] <Azure_> hi
[10:40] <deo> Intel HM67 dr_willis
[10:40] <dr_willis> id check askubuntu.com for info on that chipset.. see if any known issues are with it
[10:41] <deo> hmmnn
[10:41] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I have no idea what's associated to compiz/unity, I moved .compiz, .local, .Xauthority and .config
[10:41] <dr_willis> intel tends to be problem free for most people
[10:41] <deo> something weird on my system thoug dr_willis ... wheneever i tried to install something
[10:41] <lonix> Any good clues off why (and/or how to prevent) inoticoming for processing the same file 2times. (in rapid sucession)
[10:41] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  thats why i said move.. so you can get them back
[10:42] <deo> it says No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
[10:42] <deo> dr_willis: ^
[10:42] <deo> even installing for a vim package
[10:42] <dr_willis> deo:  thats fixable also.. askubuntu.com has a guide on it
[10:42] <dr_willis> thats just a warning as far as i know. not an errro
[10:43] <dr_willis> errror'
[10:43] <dr_willis> time for me to leave work. back in a few hrs.

[10:45] <deo> im in /var/lib/dpkg/status - how to know if the package is corupt?

[10:47] <Fuzzles> how do i scan with my wifi kodak printer, i know how to print just not use the scan feature?
[10:48] <foo357> cfhowlett: hmm maybe it's me who haven't set some path but on the other hand this shouldn't be necessary when installing through packages
[10:48] <zumaz2003> Can someone help it`s stuck at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-25-generic and wont pass it .
[10:48] <DJones> Fuzzles: You should be able to use Simple Scan or XSane to scan
[10:48] <cfhowlett> Fuzzles, well simple scans is the app ....
[10:48] <Fuzzles> i know but it says cand find my scanner? its an AIO printer
[10:48] <foo357> I'm running 12.04.2 LTS x86_64. It's related to Freetype (-dev?) the file ft2build.h in /usr/include incorrectly tries to include freetype/config/ftheader.h when it actually should try to include freetype2/freetype/config/ftheader.h
[10:49] <cfhowlett> foo357, beyond md5sum, IDK enough to advise you more thoroughly.  sorry.  ask the question againn
[10:49] <DJones> Fuzzles: Which model printer is it
[10:49] <Fuzzles> DJones, its a kodak esp 7 AIO
[10:50] <cfhowlett> Fuzzles toadd a wifi printer, I needed to specify the url ... search didn't see it until then
[10:51] <Fuzzles> cfhowlett, what you mean?
[10:51] <ozcanesen> hey i have a foss project, will you translate it to your language? https://translations.launchpad.net/terra thanks.
[10:51] <cfhowlett> Fuzzles, to add a scanner  the scanner over a wifi connection you might to provide the URL
[10:52] <Fuzzles> cfhowlett, how do i do that?
[10:52] <baumy> how can i get artwiz fonts in 12.04.2 64 bit?
[10:52] <baumy> there used to be an xfonts-artwiz2 package but it doesn't seem to exist anymore
[10:52] <cfhowlett> ozcanesen, better discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic.  also forums might be useful
[10:52] <cfhowlett> Fuzzles, you'll have to ask someone who has a scanner...   ask in channel
[10:53] <ozcanesen> cfhowlett, ah sorry i didn't know offtopic channel
[10:53] <DJones> Fuzzles: I can't see much help for that model printer/scanner, the UBuntu forums are down so I can't check there either
[10:53] <cfhowlett> ozcanesen, no worries.  best of luck
[10:53] <Fuzzles> ok thnaks anyways guys

[10:54] <skillz_> hi there...quick one...I'd like to use my zte mf190 3g  usb modem on my ubuntu 12.04 machine...how can I go aboutdoing so?
[10:54] <belgianguy> so at least that was what was causing it (the folders), I am putting .local back, and see if it still works
[10:54] <belgianguy> I bet .compiz is the culprit
[10:54] <cfhowlett> baumy, several etnries for xfonts in the universe repos..  you might want to check your repo settings and try again
[10:55] <dr_willis> belgianguy: i cant see how that would affect wifi
[10:56] <baumy> cfhowlett: xfonts-artwiz or xfonts-artwiz2? I'm not seeing it for precise
[10:56] <borov> Hi, everybody! Guys, i have a problem! How could i save the layout of my desktop icons (Xubuntu, xfce 4.10)? After system restart all my icons shifting to the left.
[10:56] <dr_willis> !find artwiz
[10:56] <cfhowlett> baumy, i'm not familiari with the packae, but you can likely download it direct from the package maintainer site
[10:58] <belgianguy> dr_willis: I meant that probably compiz was the problem, but it's odd that I don't have any connection at all
[10:58] <cfhowlett> borov, look in settings .. there's an autosorter configuration of some sort somewhere in there
[10:58] <belgianguy> can't ping even
[10:58] <belgianguy> not with wired, not with WiFi, yet the system bar lists them both
[10:58] <belgianguy> and this pc is right next to it

[11:08] <belgianguy> dr_willis: seems .Xauthority caused the login loops
[11:09] <belgianguy> moved it back into its backup dir, still no connection though, could those settings have been stored in .config?

[11:33] <LS\MFT> lol
[11:33] <LS\MFT> that's a lot of games
[11:33] <ikonia> why is that funny ?
[11:33] <LS\MFT> I thought there were only 10 or 20
[11:34] <Ben64> that was like when the first version of steam linux came out
[11:34] <LS\MFT> And is it mandatory to use the 310 beta driver?
[11:34] <Ben64> no, but its better
[11:34] <LS\MFT> And is it stable to be used on non-Steam things?
[11:34] <LS\MFT> Unity, for example.
[11:34] <Ben64> yeah, works great here
[11:35] <Ben64> well, i don't use unity
[11:35] <ikonia> LS\MFT: there have been some warnings
[11:35] <Ben64> unity slows performance in steam stuff i've heard
[11:35] <ikonia> LS\MFT: so be cautious
[11:36] <LS\MFT> Ow
[11:36] <nutterpc> i never really liked Unity
[11:36] <LS\MFT> I can install another DE to use Steam, anyway.
[11:36] <LS\MFT> XFCE for example.
[11:36] <nutterpc> hence why i always used MATE
[11:36] <DJones> 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] <LS\MFT> Oh, Uplink is on Steam and it's available for Linux, lovely!
[11:36] <Ben64> but mate isn't supported on ubuntu
[11:36] <nutterpc> doesnt bother me though :)
[11:37] <LS\MFT> I have a GeForce 9300M GS
[11:37] <LS\MFT> 3.5 kernel iirc
[11:37] <snodo> ftp connection refused. i have opened the ports from firewall, and install vsftp any tips.
[11:37] <Ben64> i tried mate when i installed 12.04, couldn't get used to it. seemed like a bastardization of gnome2
[11:37] <LS\MFT> The bad thing of MATE are the themes.
[11:37] <nutterpc> i like it imo, since i always liked gnome
[11:37] <LS\MFT> Because there aren't a lot of themes compatible for both GTK2 and GTK3.
[11:37] <bazhang> !ot | LS\MFT
[11:37] <nutterpc> i just get rid of the fluff stuff i dont use
[11:37] <Ben64> LS\MFT: that gpu won't be getting you very much power
[11:37] <LS\MFT> !ot Ben64
[11:37] <aman_> hii
[11:38] <aman_> any1 there?
[11:38] <LS\MFT> !ot | Ben64
[11:38] <kazuya> hello
[11:38] <kazuya> !list
[11:38] <nutterpc> anyways
[11:38] <Ben64> yeah, i know, we don't need to see !ot message that many times
[11:38] <nutterpc> off to bed for me, night all
[11:39] <thebull> hi, i'm trying to dual boot windows8 + ubuntu. i've disables uefi and secure boot. i made a live USB and set the boot order to begin with usb. but ubuntu on the usb is not booting.. i'm stuck with the lenovo welcome screen (lenovo z580)..
[11:39] <ikonia> thebull: sounds like the device is not bootable
[11:39] <Guest82315> hello,very one..
[11:40] <worm> exit
[11:40] <Ben64> thebull: also, i don't think windows 8 will boot in bios mode
[11:40] <thebull> ikonia : i've been using the same pendrive with an older version before..
[11:40] <belgianguy> hmm, after struggling to get back into my user account, I no longer have access to internet/network
[11:40] <belgianguy> not on WiFI, not on Wired
[11:40] <ikonia> Ben64: boots on my desktop that doesn't have uefi
[11:40] <belgianguy> is there a way to force Ubuntu to redetect these ?
[11:40] <Ben64> ikonia: but was it installed with uefi enabled?
[11:40] <ikonia> thebull: yes, so the new version may not have been installed properly, hence not bootable
[11:40] <thebull> Ben64 : i've changed the boot mode to legacy boot..
[11:41] <belgianguy> they are both listed in the top bar as connected, and the system respons when I pull them out/turn them off
[11:41] <ikonia> Ben64: my bios doesn't support uefi on that dekstop, it's an old bis
[11:41] <belgianguy> but they don't "work"
[11:41] <ikonia> bios
[11:41] <thebull> ikonia : iinstalled twicw after formatting.. i think prob lies with win8
[11:41] <Ben64> from what i've read, windows 8 from uefi won't boot in bios mode
[11:41] <ikonia> Ben64: it installed and booted fine on my old desktop, no uefi, it only has an old bios
[11:41] <Ben64> 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
[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] <thebull> Ben64 : i'm using 12.04.2 lts it does have uefi support..
[11:42] <bazhang> !permissions | _dreamer
[11:43] <_dreamer> yes
[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] <jrib> _dreamer: well what group are you talking about?  What permissions?  And what folder?
[11:44] <Ben64> _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] <vincentS> _dreamer, did you understand this http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html
[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] <Ben64> you may want to look into sftp or scp to transfer files instead of regular ftp
[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] <vincentS> _dreamer, what are ur permissions  rw-rw-rw-
[11:48] <Ben64> then everything would have to be owned by ftp, which is a pretty weird solution
[11:49] <nearst> Ben64, why not use filezilla
[11:50] <_dreamer> drwxrwxr-x
[11:50] <vincentS> _dreamer, you can start unsecure with " chmod -c 777 * " which would make everything world read/writable
[11:50] <Ben64> nearst: that can use sftp, i don't see your point?
[11:50] <llutz> 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] <nearst> aw.. client with multiprotocol
[11:51] <_dreamer> but I cannot delete files
[11:51] <vincentS> _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] <Ben64> _dreamer: what you're trying to do is likely to be insecure
[11:52] <_dreamer> so how should I do it?
[11:52] <Ben64> sftp, have the files owned by your user
[11:53] <MindSpark> _dreamer: setuid
[11:53] <Ben64> 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] <Ben64> 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] <Ben64> ssh/sftp
[11:55] <_dreamer> I use putty on windows
[11:55] <vorlket> any resolution to the python2.7-dev installation dependency issue on ubuntu 12.04 amd64? http://pastebin.com/Cjz6XAxM
[11:56] <Ben64> 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] <Ben64> you'd have to get an sftp client, like winscp or filezilla
[11:57] <wat__> _dreamer
[11:57] <wat__> winscp
[11:57] <vincentS> filezilla :D
[11:57] <_dreamer> I have filzilla
[11:57] <_dreamer> filezilla
[11:57] <wat__> filezilla supports sftp?
[11:57] <Ben64> yep
[11:58] <_dreamer> should I use the ssh port instead of ftp or what?
[11:58] <vincentS> yes
[11:59] <_dreamer> still can't do anything
[11:59] <joshu> 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] <Ben64> _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] <Ben64> sudo chown -R <your username> /var/www
[12:01] <vincentS> $USER
[12:01] <Ben64> vincentS: if you want to be fancy about it
[12:01] <vincentS> :P
[12:02] <captain_cook> 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] <vincentS> 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] <captain_cook> vincentS: has it got an easy to use GUI?
[12:03] <Ben64> ripping dvds is pretty tough, frame rate changes, interlacing, telecine
[12:03] <captain_cook> Ben64: oh ok...
[12:03] <synju> ddd
[12:03] <Ben64> _dreamer: you wouldn't need proftpd if you use sftp
[12:03] <vincentS> captain_cook, no gui there
[12:03] <_dreamer> ok
[12:04] <captain_cook> 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] <Ben64> _dreamer: sftp works over ssh, so since you can ssh already, you can sftp
[12:05] <vincentS> 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] <synju> 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] <dr_willis> captain_cook:  one of the online linux magazines had an artical on that just last week ..
[12:05] <Ben64> _dreamer: you probably have to change the client to use sftp
[12:05] <captain_cook> vincentS: thank you.
[12:05] <dr_willis> http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-70/
[12:05] <captain_cook> dr_willis: cool
[12:06] <_dreamer> holy shit, how do I do that with Filezilla
[12:06] <_dreamer> ?
[12:06] <_dreamer> XD
[12:06] <FloodBot1> _dreamer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:06] <dr_willis> 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] <vincentS> 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] <dr_willis> captain_cook: dvdfab does work in wine for me.
[12:07] <vincentS> captain_cook, or dvdrip http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/
[12:07] <synju> Can someone help me with regards to themes on ubuntu 12.10 ?
[12:07] <captain_cook> dr_willis: ahh.. ok.. just switched from windows to linux.. lol.. and do not want to go back anymore.. ;)
[12:08] <dr_willis> captain_cook:  for ripping some of these annoying protected dvds ive not found an alternative to dvdfab. yet
[12:08] <captain_cook> dr_willis: thank you
[12:08] <Ben64> i find it easier to download movies than ripping them :|
[12:08] <captain_cook> vincentS: thanks a lot..
[12:08] <synju> Ben64, agreed.
[12:09] <vincentS> captain_cook, have you conciderd just taking them as .iso
[12:09] <dr_willis> Ben64:  Yep.  But the wife allready has the disks.. and I couldent find Love Boat Season2  anywhere else. ;)
[12:09] <synju> Lol!
[12:09] <Ben64> i own a ton of movies, but don't really use the discs ever
[12:10] <synju> Ben64, dr_willis, could you guys please help me get themes going on my ubuntu 12.10
[12:10] <vincentS> i just have the discs so the downloads arent illegal :D haha ( You lair )
[12:11] <Ben64> i don't think its legal to rip discs either :P
[12:11] <synju> It's legal to make backups.
[12:11] <captain_cook> vincentS: .iso would do.. yes...
[12:11] <Ben64> synju: but not to bypass copy protection
[12:11] <synju> Lol.
[12:11] <dr_willis> 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] <synju> True.
[12:11] <vincentS> 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] <Ben64> look at what happened when decss came out
[12:12] <vincentS> captain_cook, then u could just iso them much easier and maintain the dvd menu structure
[12:12] <synju> can you give me an example link of a ppa site?
[12:12] <dr_willis> 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] <captain_cook> vincentS: ok.. how?
[12:12] <dr_willis> synju:  the webupd8 blog site has one
[12:12] <captain_cook> vincentS: with one of your programs suggested?
[12:13]  * synju googles
[12:13] <vincentS> captain_cook, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso
[12:13] <synju> wow i thought it was just slang
[12:13] <synju> k tnx brb!
[12:14] <captain_cook> vincentS: huh? :)
[12:14] <vincentS> captain_cook, dd is pretty easy    if =    say inputfile   of=   say output file  thats it
[12:16] <dr_willis> captain_cook:  again. depending on the disks.. that dd trick might not work.
[12:17] <vincentS> then all u have to do to watch is mount the iso with  mount -o loop file.iso /media/iso
[12:17] <captain_cook> vincentS: oh I got it.. I will try.. thank you.
[12:18] <deejy> hello friends.. i have problem to install the Flash Player in ubuntu 12.04
[12:18] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:18] <Ben64> !flash | deejy
[12:18] <vincentS> 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] <dr_willis> vincentS:  some of the new dvds out have a very annoying copy protection that keeps stuff from getting read correctly.
[12:19] <dr_willis> vincentS:  i have legal dvds that do not play in a legal dvd player - due to its age.
[12:19] <dr_willis> vincentS:  look for  a little dvd anti-copy icon on the back of the dvd boxs.
[12:20] <deejy> ubottu, thanks
[12:20] <dr_willis> 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] <vincentS> 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] <vincentS> but good to know there still trying
[12:22] <dr_willis> vincentS:  this is a new form they keep alterning.. been in use for a year or more now
[12:22] <dr_willis> you cant even play some of these dvds on a pc.. without somthing like dvdfab
[12:23] <captain_cook> dr_willis: the issuers are restricting our rights!
[12:23] <Ben64> well that's not nice
[12:23] <vincentS> dr_willis, i always liked dvd_encrypter bbut don't know if that is available for *unix
[12:24] <captain_cook> the dvd is my property and I should be able to store it however I like, right?
[12:24] <vincentS> yes
[12:25] <vincentS> hhahaha sony is announcing the playstation4 with lots of promisses  like  there was linux on ps3 but now theres not.
[12:25] <vincentS> You have no rights what so ever   ever....
[12:26] <macrox> 有人嘛
[12:27] <macrox> ……
[12:27] <vincentS> that is why  linux is above windows it gives you freedom and the right to do with your computer whatever you like
[12:27] <rocket_hamster> word!
[12:27] <vincentS> i will shut up now ;)
[12:27] <rocket_hamster> why? ur right
[12:27] <jpds> !ot
[12:28] <macrox>  only english support here ?
[12:28] <vincentS> imo yes
[12:28] <DJones> macrox: Yes, this channel is English only
[12:28] <DJones> macrox: What language do you want?
[12:29] <macrox> chinese
[12:29] <macrox> lol
[12:29] <DJones> !cn | macrox
[12:29] <dr_willis> captain_cook:  the end user basically has no rights these days.. ;)
[12:29] <macrox> poor english
[12:30] <macrox> thanks
[12:30] <marta> Hi again, i entered sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , how can i change back to the original ?
[12:30] <marta> i already tryed the back option on ubuntu but nothing...
[12:31] <dr_willis> marta:  what back option?
[12:31] <dr_willis> what original.. ;)
[12:31] <vincentS> marta, what do you mean back to original you want to start gnome instead or u want xubuntu uninstalled
[12:33] <belgianguy> dr_willis: seems my unity launcher no longer remembers my settings, nor does it record any new ones
[12:33] <marta> i cant even add users in ubuntu... these is soo odd
[12:33] <belgianguy> dr_willis: and no network connectivity whatsoever, even though eth4 and wlan1 are in the ifconfig lists
[12:33] <belgianguy> (but that used to be eth0 btw)
[12:34] <captain_cook> dr_willis: we need to fight for our rights.. lol
[12:35] <belgianguy> I'm backing up like mad, as I feel as if my installation is falling apart
[12:35] <marta> when i try to add user using gui, it doesnt make a thing.... well..
[12:35] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[12:35] <captain_cook> well, dr_willis and vincentS, thank you for giving me hints. see you ... bye
[12:36] <marta> is there any command to erase desktop interfaces, and to return to the ubuntu gnome ?
[12:36] <belgianguy> I think my system is too far gone and that a reinstall is unevitable
[12:36] <marta> im gonna try synaptic
[12:37] <Haris> Hello all
[12:37] <Ben64> marta: you choose your DE when you're logging in
[12:37] <belgianguy> marta: ubuntu-desktop would be the default one I reckon
[12:37] <Haris> what do the keywords mean in the preseed file, the ones for partitioning ?
[12:38] <brun0> hi all, what is the easiest way of capture bash output inside of a shell script ?
[12:38] <marta> yes i understand, but i installed the xubuntu, and now only if i log out and log in i can change it (gui) when login again
[12:38] <marta> Hi Haris
[12:38] <Haris> where's this ( https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html) relevant section on help.ubuntu for 12.04lts ?
[12:38] <Ben64> marta: what?
[12:38] <brun0> i'd like to check if a message is printed on bash inside of a shell script
[12:39] <marta> Sorry, i did, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop on terminal
[12:39] <marta> so now... i would like to undo these command
[12:39] <vincentS> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[12:39] <Ben64> marta: 12.04?
[12:40] <marta> lts
[12:40] <vincentS> apt-get --purge remove xubuntu-desktop
[12:40] <synju> ok... I downloaded the theme, and I downloaded 'customize look and feel' from the ubuntu software center but when I try apply the theme, it doesnt change anything.
[12:40] <Ben64> vincentS: no
[12:40] <Ben64> marta: so yes, 12.04?
[12:41] <marta> yes 12.04 lts
[12:41] <Ben64> marta: http://pastebin.com/Q8nmG0Nu
[12:41] <synju> what am I doing wrong? I cant see it in the 'Appearence' app either.
[12:41] <Haris> 40 50 100 ext3    $primary{ } $bootable{ }     method{ format } format{ }     use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    mountpoint{ /boot } <- what do the first 3 numbers from the left mean ?
[12:41] <wubino> is there a way add custom search results to the unity search bar?
[12:41] <marta> Thank you all for the help, once again ;)
[12:42] <synju> Hello? Anyone?
[12:43] <wubino> synju: what is your question?
[12:43] <Antar> Hi
[12:44] <Antar> any one here ?
[12:44] <Ben64> 1751 people
[12:44] <vincentS> Antar, anyone just left :D
[12:44] <Antar> :)
[12:44] <Antar> thank you
[12:44] <Antar> ok my question
[12:45] <Antar> can liliusb support ubuntu 12.10
[12:45] <Haris> 40 50 100 ext3    $primary{ } $bootable{ }     method{ format } format{ }     use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    mountpoint{ /boot } <- what do the first 3 numbers from the left mean ?
[12:45] <Haris> this is from preseed file on https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/preseed-contents.html
[12:45] <llutz> Haris: http://debian.ues.edu.sv/compartidos/neozerosv/ciberues/partman-auto-recipe.txt
[12:45] <wubino> is there anyway to write ubuntu lenses in golang or haskell?  I think the repeated python processes are adding too much memory overhead.
[12:46] <Antar> can liliusb support ubuntu 12.10
[12:46] <Ben64> !patience | Antar
[12:46] <Esor> Hi. Would anyone help me how to set esekeyd? http://thearchway.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/global-volume-control-with-esekeyd/
[12:46] <dr_willis> Antar:  the lili  usb maker tool should.. but i rarely use it.  i use otehr tools from the pendrivelinux site
[12:47] <Esor> I'd like to install it to adjust volume on fullscreen games
[12:47] <dr_willis> !find esekeyd
[12:47] <belgianguy> so I'm up for a reinstall
[12:47] <dr_willis> !info esekeyd
[12:48] <dr_willis> My nomal media keys do that on my keyboard anyway..
[12:48] <belgianguy> any advice, I have a complete physical disk to start Ubuntu from
[12:48] <belgianguy> so I wouldn't really need GRUB, right?
[12:48] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  ubuntu uses grub.. so... yes. you need grub
[12:48] <Esor> i mean on fullscreen games like Psychonauts
[12:48] <dr_willis> Unless its on a mac or somthing
[12:48] <belgianguy> (it carried over from old HDDs, with some Windows partition etc)
[12:48] <dr_willis> Esor:  Hmm.. my Multimedia keys work on fullscreen games also...
[12:49] <belgianguy> ah k, I was thinking of winning some boot seconds
[12:49] <Esor> have you tried with Psychonauts ?
[12:49] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  thats not very clear...
[12:49] <Esor> for me work only with TF2
[12:49] <Esor> or CS:S
[12:49] <belgianguy> dr_willis: the grub menu, it waits there for several seconds
[12:49] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  so? thats a setting...
[12:49] <belgianguy> while I'm so accustomed to it I'd rather have it boot immedeatly, _unless_ things are borked
[12:50] <vincentS> i don't ever see my bootmenu
[12:50] <belgianguy> vincentS: how'd you do that?
[12:50] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  thats a setting  you can change,.  /etc/default/grub
[12:50] <dr_willis> grub2 has loads of docs and settings. ;)
[12:51] <vincentS> belgianguy, dunno just never seen it don't know if i have it but apperently i have
[12:51] <belgianguy> vincentS: something more advanced than setting the timer to 0?
[12:51] <dr_willis> yes you can set grub2 to 'hide'
[12:52] <Ben64> when you don't have any other operating systems, grub2 defaults to booting immediately and without the menu ever showing
[12:52] <dr_willis> belgianguy:  belgianguy  look in  /etc/default/grub
[12:52] <vincentS> belgianguy, i just checked and i have /boot/grub
[12:52] <dr_willis> vincentS:  you do have grub.. its just hiding its menu
[12:52] <vincentS> belgianguy, and no settings changed everything is default here
[12:53] <kjazdh> Hi
[12:53] <kjazdh> what is the best tool for create live ubuntu usb drive ?
[12:53] <Ntemis> hello
[12:53] <Ntemis> anyone familiar with reserve space for raid hdds?
[12:53] <belgianguy> ok, since I'll format the drive that'll be fine then
[12:53] <dr_willis> kjazdh:  one that works for you. not all have gthe same featreset
[12:54] <Ntemis> can i use it all?
[12:54] <Ntemis> use tune2fs to my benefit?
[12:54] <belgianguy> I also saw some people partition space for /, /boot, /var recently, is that common?
[12:54] <Ntemis> like tune2fs -m 0 /dev/md0
[12:54] <belgianguy> (that was a CentOS server)
[12:54] <llutz> Ntemis: since the "reserve" is a filesystem-thing, yes, tune2fs -m   is ok
[12:54] <kjazdh> dr_willis> dont understand .wich tool
[12:55] <Ntemis> will it remove metadata?
[12:55] <vincentS> belgianguy, this depends on your own preferance you could easly replace/backup partitions this way
[12:55] <Touhou11> belgianguy: I only see the point in separate / and /home partitions, the others are a throwback to poor filesystems
[12:55] <llutz> Ntemis: no
[12:55] <vincentS> belgianguy, but i have 1 partition  only   /
[12:55] <Ntemis> llutz: will i be able to recover from raid5 -1 hdd fail?
[12:55] <dr_willis> kjazdh:  i use the tools from the pendrivelinux site... thers dozens of tools out there
[12:55] <belgianguy> ahh, so it's more a nicety for a server ?
[12:55] <llutz> Ntemis: what does that have to do with root-reserved space?
[12:56] <Ntemis> isnt there that metadata is kept?
[12:56] <dr_willis> what metadata?
[12:56] <belgianguy> just when my system fails, Ubuntu Forum offline :/
[12:56] <Ntemis> for the raid information and structure
[12:56] <Haris> am I here or did I just get disconnected again ?
[12:56] <vincentS> belgianguy, yea separate your home from your / would be good imo
[12:56] <belgianguy> long live Google Cache
[12:57] <vincentS> Haris, is here
[12:57] <belgianguy> vincentS: and are those partitions, then? or something else
[12:57] <lmn> 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] <vincentS> 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] <vincentS> belgianguy, and don;'t forget some swap space
[12:59] <vincentS> also a partition or disk but suggest a partition since it only needs around 1 or 2 Gb
[12:59] <Touhou11> Real men don't have swap space
[12:59] <synju> 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] <vincentS> true but my netbook only supports 2 Gb RAM
[13:00] <wubino> sorry not familiar with the Appearance app
[13:00] <vincentS> a little extra for virtualbox is needed :D
[13:00] <wubino> Are scopes and lenses language agnostic?
[13:01] <synju> wubino, ok, anyone else?
[13:01] <belgianguy> what's ideal swap space, 2x RAM?
[13:02] <llutz> belgianguy: if you intend to hibernate swap>RAM, if not, a 500MB swapfile is more than enough
[13:02] <vincentS> that depends i guess on ur usage if u have 8Gb ram swap is probably useless
[13:04] <belgianguy> vincentS: I only have 2 GB :(
[13:04] <mojtaba> Hi, Does anybody know how can I install microsoft office 2013 in ubuntu 12.10?
[13:04] <Ben64> !appdb | mojtaba
[13:04] <eduardo__> Good Morning!
[13:06] <jayar> mojtaba: OpenOffice does all the same stuff
[13:06] <llutz> jayar: it doesn't (VBA)
[13:06] <jayar> 'cept that
[13:06] <vincentS> belgianguy, me aswell and have 4Gb swap just because 4Gb is nothing to me and i have enough diskspace
[13:06] <jayar> ;-p
[13:07]  * vincentS doesn't know what hes doing and just added 4Gb of swap for fun 
[13:07] <user> Hi
[13:07] <user> help please
[13:08] <lmn> does anyone here know a way around my constant remmina disconnects? it's unusable right now.
[13:08] <user> How can i check if my usb flash drive accept to make a live ubuntu usb
[13:08] <vincentS> user, if it has sufficient space it will
[13:08] <user> vincentS jsut the space
[13:09] <user> jsut*
[13:09] <vincentS> user, yes and u need to be able to boot from flash but thats bios depended
[13:09] <guepar> hello, i need some help
[13:09] <user> vincentS and how can i know that the ubuntu iso file is work
[13:10] <guepar> i have just upgrading my linux to 12.04 version and the wireless driver has gone
[13:10] <vincentS> user, if you downloaded it from ubuntu.com it works because noone else is complaining
[13:11] <user> ?
[13:11] <user> ok but how can i check this
[13:11] <user> or there is no way ?
[13:11] <ikillcypher> ok guys how do I burn a windows ISO into my usb drive im using ubuntu x64 ??
[13:11] <DJones> !md5 | user
[13:11] <vincentS> user, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[13:12] <vincentS> ikillcypher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[13:13] <user> vincentS Universal usb installer is it better
[13:13] <belgianguy> I'm a unetbootin fan myself
[13:13] <bananahammock> Hi, I have a question about a script I wrote which changes the IP adresses in configration files for nagios. http://pastebin.com/jzkCtciP but when I run it, it shows that I changed the ipadress, but when I do a cat afterwards, it is not changed. I do a sudo infront..
[13:14] <vincentS> user,  not sure if it will work with linux but for windows that is a good sollution
[13:16] <puznel> ikillcypher: what Windows version?
[13:18] <Aeros> Howdy!!  Folks
[13:20] <vincentS> ikillcypher, check http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool for windows on usb
[13:20] <Aeros> 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] <ikillcypher> I want to burn WIndows 7 professional x86
[13:22] <krux> grab a ligther and start burning it
[13:22] <krux> :P
[13:22]  * ikillcypher is not used to linux :( 
[13:22] <ikillcypher> it just wont work for me the more I want it too
[13:22] <ikillcypher> trust me 10 years of windows and 2 days of linux
[13:23] <matt_symes> bananahammock: use seds in place edit switch -i
[13:23] <puznel> ikillcypher: search for "winusb".
[13:23] <matt_symes> bananahammock: that will edit the file directly
[13:23] <puznel> ikillcypher: it will let you burn a Windows 7 DVD to a USB drive (and boot/install from the usb later).
[13:24] <matt_symes> bananahammock: you are never actually editing the file
[13:24] <martingardner> How do I install plugins on firefox globally on a machine that I have multiple computers booting from it via diskless boot?
[13:24] <bananahammock> matt_symes: ahh okay.. so seds -e -i 'blabla' ??!
[13:25] <matt_symes> bananahammock: yeah
[13:25] <bono_> !man sed
[13:25] <zonum_> @nick zonum
[13:25] <zonum_> !nick zonum
[13:25] <Pici> zonum_: /nick zonum
[13:25] <Ben64> zonum: commands on irc start with /
[13:25] <zonum_> Thanks
[13:29] <Data909> if i play music from another computer via smb it havnt got good sound why ?
[13:31] <bananahammock> thanks matt_symes it works
[13:31] <matt_symes> np bananahammock :)
[13:32] <Eagleman_> What would be the fastest way to read/write to another disk on another machine over the network
[13:32] <matt_symes> ikillcypher: That does not sound like a legal copy
[13:32]  * ikillcypher got it from his CD
[13:32] <ikillcypher> I rip it off
[13:33] <matt_symes> ikillcypher: I'll not help you then
[13:33] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: dd + gzip + netcat I guess :D
[13:33] <Eagleman_> MasterOfDisaster: i mean, its for always, some sort of storage server
[13:34] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: backup? enterprisey?
[13:34] <ikillcypher> wtf
[13:34] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: if both no: rsync
[13:34] <Eagleman_> 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] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: ok - so not just filetransfer.
[13:35] <Eagleman_> MasterOfDisaster: i dont think i need all of those, i want to mount a remote disk
[13:35] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: what's wrong with NFSv4 then?
[13:35] <Eagleman_> exactly
[13:36] <Eagleman_> Never used NFS, does it achieve near speeds compared with the disk itself?
[13:36] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: there's *always* network latency
[13:37] <Eagleman_> MasterOfDisaster: Every guest OS is on the same machine
[13:37] <MasterOfDisaster> If you want to keep VM images in sync across multiple hypervisors, have a look at DRBD and (perhaps) ganeti.
[13:38] <ikillcypher> so you guys are not helping me at all
[13:38] <Eagleman_> I'm just seperating servers / services for security and learning
[13:39] <vincentS> 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] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: you shouldn't let your hypervisors do anything else than hosting VMs. Put publicly accessible services elsewhere.
[13:39] <Eagleman_> MasterOfDisaster: this is a home situation
[13:40] <Eagleman_> The hypervisor itself only hosts VM's, i'm talking about what the VM's will be doing
[13:41] <MasterOfDisaster> oh, I'm sorry. I missed that
[13:41] <Eagleman_> 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] <ikillcypher> unetbootin only allows build ISO ?
[13:41] <Eagleman_> You'r saying NFS will do the job?
[13:42] <vincentS> ikillcypher, no you could write iso to disk aswell
[13:42] <MasterOfDisaster> Eagleman_: yes, it will. NFSv4 is the way to go for linux filesharing.
[13:42] <crazyhorse> 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] <crazyhorse> what window tricks are there to display a hidden window?
[13:43] <Eagleman_> Is there also a way of bypassing the switch and let all this network traffic travel on the hypervisor only?
[13:44] <crazyhorse> this is driving me nuts
[13:44] <crazyhorse> ok.. how am  i supposed to click and drag a window.. i can't click on it in either monitor
[13:45] <crazyhorse> if i click and drag it just disappears,
[13:45] <dr_willis> crashes? or what
[13:45] <crazyhorse> it's not crashed
[13:45] <crazyhorse> it's just not visiable
[13:46] <crazyhorse> 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] <dr_willis> you can drag things from that unity expose mode that zooms out
[13:46] <ikillcypher> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582831
[13:46] <crazyhorse> dr_willis: doesn't work
[13:46] <LS\MFT> Which port does apt-get use?
[13:46] <ikillcypher> how do I burn a windows 7 ISO into the USB :(
[13:46] <crazyhorse> if i click and drag it just zooms back out
[13:46] <jpds> LS\MFT: 80.
[13:46] <crazyhorse> and then disappears
[13:46] <LS\MFT> jpds, thanks :)
[13:46] <dr_willis> ikillcypher:  and bruning app should work.
[13:47] <crazyhorse> hmm i give up, killed it, restarted seems to be working
[13:47] <dr_willis> any burning...
[13:47] <dr_willis> ! burn
[13:48]  * ikillcypher into USB
[13:50] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: try dd or ask in #windows
[13:50] <dr_willis> onto a usb... :)
[13:52] <Squarepy> ikillcypher, netbootin
[13:52] <ikillcypher> you guys dont understand
[13:53]  * ikillcypher is using ubuntu x64 now
[13:53] <Squarepy> unetbootin, let's you write a bootable usb from iso
[13:54] <belgianguy> urgh I stopped my USB backup because I thought eSATA would be faster
[13:55] <belgianguy> the eSATA speed is about to duck under the USB speed :(
[13:55] <yogg> wrong converter?
[13:55] <Squarepy> belgianguy, eSata 1 2 or 3
[13:55] <yogg> my esata is much faster than usb 2.0
[13:55] <belgianguy> Squarepy: no idea, it started out at 20MB/s
[13:55] <belgianguy> now its almost down to 3
[13:56] <belgianguy> and it steadily drops, not recovering
[13:57] <BluesKaj> hat file system is it writing to
[13:57] <Squarepy> just local?
[13:57] <BluesKaj> what
[13:57] <somsip> belgianguy: big partition on NTFS?
[13:57] <belgianguy> from ext3 to ext4
[13:57] <belgianguy> 80 GB ext4 external HDD
[13:57] <Squarepy> ikillcypher, did that do it for you?
[13:58] <belgianguy> (I'm backing up my home dir)
[13:58] <Squarepy> well should be something, cause even sata 1.0 is twice as fast as usb 2.0
[13:58] <somsip> belgianguy: lots of little files then? That can make a difference
[13:59] <belgianguy> somsip: yeah, lots of little files, but you'd expect it to recoup some speed
[13:59] <belgianguy> it's at 2.9 MB/s now
[13:59] <yogg> belgianguy: how do you copy the files?
[14:00] <belgianguy> yogg: through nautilus from folder to folder
[14:00] <somsip> belgianguy: I only know that big files are usually quicker to copy than little ones. You using rsync?...Oh Nautilus...hmmm
[14:01] <ikillcypher> guys what is sudo fdisk -l ??
[14:01] <yogg> rsync would be the better solution, but I don't think it would be faster.
[14:01] <somsip> ikillcypher: shows what disks are attached
[14:01] <belgianguy> atm I'm anticipating the transfer speed to peter out around 0 and then I can start over
[14:01] <ikillcypher> use dd will make my usb bootable
[14:02] <belgianguy> tbh my system is borked completely, unity doesn't work anymore and the network software is defect as well
[14:02] <belgianguy> so all in all I'm happy it can still copy things
[14:02] <dr_willis> dd images to the usb.. if yhe image is a bootable disk it will
[14:02] <belgianguy> I've never had it go this bad
[14:03] <Chib> 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] <Squarepy> my sympathy belgianguy
[14:03] <Squarepy> Chib, what is personal 'home'?
[14:04] <yogg> 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] <Chib> hmm, i guess, tbh i'm not sure as i haven't used it in a while
[14:04] <belgianguy> 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] <Chib> an old EeePC i'm giving to my dad and it's a nighmare to reinstall things s:
[14:05] <belgianguy> would the order of partitions matter?
[14:05] <belgianguy> like if you ever wanted to extend one
[14:05] <belgianguy> which is the most logical order, or is there a set order to create them in?
[14:05] <somsip> Chib: you could add a new user and vape the old user home. Depends if you saved anything out of home though...
[14:06] <llutz> 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] <Squarepy> ^^
[14:06] <Chib> hmm, that sounds good, cool thanks guys
[14:06] <yogg> belgianguy: swap should be at the beginning because the hdd is faster there (on ssd it does not matter).
[14:07] <belgianguy> yogg: ahh, good to know, I always placed it last until now :$
[14:07] <phschwartz> 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] <Squarepy> yogg, on ssd I prefer not to have swap
[14:07] <llutz> belgianguy: you won't see any practical difference, swap always will be slow
[14:08] <belgianguy> but I don't have an SSD yet:)
[14:08] <belgianguy> llutz: yeah, true
[14:08] <satish> 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] <satish> any help is appreciated
[14:08] <Squarepy> satish efi?
[14:08] <satish> yup
[14:08] <yogg> belgianguy: if you want to manage many partitions and resize them you should use lvm. Makes live easy ^^
[14:08] <Squarepy> did boot-repair detected that
[14:09] <satish> yes, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5572798/
[14:09] <belgianguy> yogg: yeah, I've been looking into lvm for my server side project
[14:09] <satish> that was from my last boot-repair run
[14:09] <belgianguy> what would be a good size for home on a 302 GB disk?
[14:10] <belgianguy> I'm a developer, so I do install a lot of thngs
[14:10] <yogg> Squarepy: if you want standby on disk you need the swap. But yes swap on ssd is not good ^^
[14:11] <Squarepy> yogg, sleep/hibernate is also bad for ssd :)
[14:11] <belgianguy> tbh my current installation couldn't hibernate
[14:11] <belgianguy> nor could you close the lid
[14:11] <belgianguy> lightdm would poop out
[14:11] <llutz> Squarepy: why should sleep affect a ssd?
[14:11] <hero100> 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] <yogg> belgianguy: i have 15GB root and 80 GB home. I have Eclipse for php, java and c++ and some virtual windows drives
[14:12] <CrazyGangster> Hello, there is any way to create a similar ReadyBoost USB for Ubuntu?
[14:12] <Squarepy> llutz, you're right, sleep doesn't write a lot
[14:12] <llutz> Squarepy: it doesn't write anything
[14:12] <Squarepy> kk
[14:13] <Squarepy> satish, what master record supports so many partitions?
[14:13] <jayar> i did chown username /dir/ but it still says i'm not the owner...
[14:14] <dr_willis> CrazyGangster:  linux has a preloading features allready.. no need for readyboost gimicks
[14:14] <jrib> jayar: what filesystem?
[14:14] <dr_willis> jayar ls -ld dirname    and look
[14:14] <belgianguy> but a clean disk should also clear some stuff up I accumulated over the years
[14:14] <belgianguy> there's a Windows 7 installation there somewhere
[14:15] <llutz> Squarepy: see line "105 GUID Partition Table detected"
[14:15] <somsip> hero100: press enter when you have the match you want. Then press n to cycle to next match
[14:15] <jayar> its a wordpress directory, hmm... its owned by www-data
[14:15] <jayar> so i gotta chgrp?
[14:15] <ikillcypher> guys how to know which is my USB Drive ?
[14:15] <satish> Squarepy, i did the partitioning some time back, I don't recollect but I am sure gparted had something todo with it :)
[14:15] <ikillcypher> /dev/sdb1  < ??
[14:15] <CrazyGangster> dr_willis: that "preloading features" are just swap?
[14:15] <hero100> somsip: Great! Thank you.
[14:15] <dr_willis> chown user:group file
[14:16] <dr_willis> CrazyGangster:  no
[14:16] <somsip> jayar: WP is particular about the owner and a solution is to chown www-data and chgrp {user}.
[14:16] <jayar> oh ok
[14:16] <Squarepy> llutz, thanks
[14:16] <dr_willis> !info preload
[14:16] <ikillcypher> guys how to know which is my USB Drive ??
[14:16] <Squarepy> satish, so you have two disks?
[14:16] <dr_willis> ureadahead is its name i think
[14:16] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: try sudo blkid
[14:16] <llutz> ikillcypher: sudo parted -l
[14:17] <guza> fdisk -l and u can see how much space u have on drive
[14:17] <guza> :)
[14:17] <satish> the other one is a usb stick containing livecd, that's how I am here right now

[14:17] <ikillcypher> ty dr_willis
[14:17] <ikillcypher> you sound like a linux expert
[14:18] <BuenGenio_> Hi, I've started the NFS server and I see port 2049 open when I nmap from localhost, but connection is refused from outside. What could it be apart from the firewall, which is not filtering it
[14:18] <Squarepy> satish, ok
[14:18] <BuenGenio_> ?
[14:18] <guza> do u setup /etc/exports
[14:19] <BuenGenio_> guza: yes
[14:19] <dr_willis> are you doinf nfs over the internet?
[14:19] <BuenGenio_> dr_willis, yes
[14:20] <dr_willis> err.. i thought that was not secure
[14:20] <BuenGenio_> just need it for a day to move stuf
[14:20] <ronniestigs> Hey Guys
[14:20] <dr_willis> :)  may be better to use sshfs
[14:20] <guza> maybe your isp block connections on that port
[14:21] <ronniestigs> Hey whats the latest version of ubuntu that supports ARMV6??
[14:21] <guza> try fuse fs :)
[14:21] <ronniestigs> ??
[14:21] <dr_willis> hmm. what arm is in the raspberry pi? an arm 6 ?
[14:21] <llutz> dr_willis: yes
[14:21] <ronniestigs> Yes
[14:22] <dr_willis> then no ubuntu supports arm6  that i know of.
[14:22] <OerHeks> ronniestigs, non, ubuntu can run on arm7, join #ubuntu-arm
[14:22] <BuenGenio_> guza, fuse is over SSH right?
[14:22] <ronniestigs> Im looking to experiment with it, but I want to find out what the latest version of ubuntu is that supports arm v6. I know it does up to a certain point
[14:22] <dr_willis> no pi-buntu :-(
[14:22] <guza> yes
[14:22] <BuenGenio_> I was looking to avoid the encryption overhead - tends to be slower
[14:22] <guza> for me work great
[14:23] <dr_willis> ronniestigs:  not that ive seen. ask in #ubuntu-arm perhaps
[14:23] <guza> well it is more secure then nfs
[14:23] <dr_willis> !info sshfs
[14:23] <BuenGenio_> I'm more interested in why on earth it's not working :)
[14:23] <dr_willis> sshfs is very handy
[14:25] <ikillcypher> sudo dd if=/home/ikillcypher/Downloads/X17-24280.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ? this right
[14:26] <llutz> ikillcypher: no
[14:26] <dr_willis> ikillcypher:  /dev/sdb    no 1
[14:26] <yogg> i hope sdb is the stick and nothing else ^^
[14:26] <dr_willis> and yse a bs=4M option or it will be slow.
[14:27] <dr_willis> be sure   sdb is right
[14:27] <dr_willis> this will erase the stick
[14:27] <dr_willis> this will erase sdb
[14:27] <ikillcypher> well this what is shows
[14:28] <ikillcypher> /dev/sdb1: LABEL="MYLINUXLIVE" UUID="6ECF-52B5" TYPE="vfat"
[14:28] <llutz> ikillcypher: sudo parted -l
[14:28] <ikillcypher> so how could it be not sdb1 ?
[14:28] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: so is that your usb stick?
[14:28] <llutz> ikillcypher: you don't write disk images to partitions
[14:28] <dr_willis> its your data.. if you mess up..
[14:29] <ikillcypher> /dev/sdb1: LABEL="MYLINUXLIVE" UUID="6ECF-52B5" TYPE="vfat" < IS MY USB
[14:29] <Aeros> 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
[14:29] <dr_willis> dd to sdb  not sdb1
[14:29] <ikillcypher> i want to wipe it and install windows 7
[14:29] <ikillcypher> why not sdb1
[14:29] <llutz> ikillcypher: you don't write disk images to partitions
[14:29] <ikillcypher> so writing sdb will ?
[14:29] <dr_willis> you want it to work?
[14:29] <dr_willis> use sdb
[14:29] <dr_willis> sdb1 wont ;)
[14:29] <dmaroulidis> how can I delete the apt-get cache and reupdate it
[14:29] <llutz> dmaroulidis: sudo apt-get clean
[14:30] <ikillcypher> does sudo dd if=/home/ikillcypher/Downloads/X17-24280.iso of=/dev/sdb < format the USB
[14:30] <dmaroulidis> thanks
[14:30] <llutz> dmaroulidis: then"sudo apt-get update"
[14:30] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: it images the iso onto the usb removeing all existing data
[14:30] <dr_willis> thats not the same as formating
[14:31] <ikillcypher> ok so how do I format to NTFS ?
[14:31] <ikillcypher> and write it
[14:31] <ncmcxx> hello, I have two nics and two internet connectoos netstat -r shows traffic being only routed to one. how do i set up a proxy so that i can send traffic to the other nic occassionaly?
[14:31] <llutz> ikillcypher: that iso is a bootable image of some OS?
[14:31] <ikillcypher> yes it is Windows 7
[14:32] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: you are not formating.. you are making an iso966o on the usb
[14:32] <llutz> ikillcypher: then you don't "format" anything, just write it to /dev/sdb
[14:32] <ikillcypher> the sdb has ubuntu x64 whjich i want to wipe
[14:32] <llutz> ikillcypher: so "sudo dd if=/home/ikillcypher/Downloads/X17-24280.iso of=/dev/sdb  bs=4M"
[14:32] <ikillcypher> what does it do ?
[14:33] <BuenGenio_> yeah sshfs so much easier :)
[14:33] <BuenGenio_> already burning it!
[14:33] <llutz> ikillcypher: [15:30:36] <dr_willis> ikillcypher: it images the iso onto the usb removeing all existing data
[14:33] <ikillcypher> ok
[14:38] <dmarouli1> I cleaned the apt-get cache and reupdate it but whenever I try to install a package apt-get exits with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5573453/
[14:40] <jpmh> I want to configure my system to automatically get security updates rather than need me to do it.  How do I make this config change from the command line?
[14:41] <Stdedos> Dash does not display available applications, fresh installation
[14:42] <ikillcypher> what is bs "4m"

[14:52] <llutz> ikillcypher: is that the normal win7 dvd-image?
[14:52] <triple_> And what do i need.
[14:52] <ikillcypher> yes
[14:52] <llutz> ikillcypher: you cannot just write it to usb, its not hybrid afaik
[14:52] <Fuzzles> triple_, you trying to play a game in steam?
[14:52] <triple_> Yeah.
[14:53] <llutz> ikillcypher: use unetbootin or whatever tool

[14:58] <mindracer> I have a Dell Studio 1557 laptop with Radeon HD 4xxx graphics.  Everything installed well, ONLY thing missing is HDMI Audio (drivers).  Ive been googling this topic for over an hour and confusing as heck.  Anyone have experience?
[14:59] <nibbler> sruli: partially. depending on what you need i'd suggest owncloud with postfix and dovecot, but.... depending on what you need.
[15:01] <kwtm> How do I find what package will give me a certain command, again?  I'm looking for the "aa-complain" command.  What package do I install?
[15:01] <ikillcypher> my usb drive isnt detected by ubuntu now !!!
[15:01] <sruli> nibbler: i need full exchange functionality
[15:01] <BluesKaj> mindracer, the installed audio driver installed should be active on the HDMI audio
[15:03] <SAngeli> is it normal that when trying to install Ubuntu server 12.10 I always get "isolinux: image checksum error. Sorry. ? I checked the file and it is OK. What to do?
[15:03] <Marky_> Hello!  I need some help with Ubuntu and hardware RAID.  Can anyone advise me?
[15:03] <compdoc> Marky_, whats the issue?
[15:03] <vorlket> how do you fix broken dependencies?
[15:03] <nearst> sup. hi ppl
[15:04] <sruli> nibbler: owncloud is for file sharing, what about email?
[15:05] <Marky_> 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] <Marky_> HOwever when I install Ubuntu I can only see 1.4TB of disc space.
[15:05] <Marky_> The rest of the RAID volume cannot be seen.
[15:05] <Marky_> I don't know how to overcome this.
[15:06] <nibbler> sruli: read what i said
[15:06] <Marky_> I am not by my machine now so can't test things right now.
[15:06] <llutz> !find aa-complain  | kwtm
[15:06] <nibbler> sruli: and owncloud is way more, eg calendar, adresses, etc
[15:06] <mr_chris> 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] <compdoc> 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] <Marky_> 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] <Marky_> The onboard RAID controller creates a volume providing capacity just under 2 drives which is correct.
[15:08] <mr_chris> 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] <compdoc> Marky_, and you created a GPT partition table?
[15:09] <mindracer> 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] <Marky_> 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] <ikillcypher> how do I open a bin file ?
[15:10] <ikillcypher> when I already click allow it to be excuted >
[15:10] <compdoc> 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] <ikillcypher> anyone kinda urgent
[15:11] <h00k> ikillcypher: you can double click on it, or run it from a terminal:  $ ./filename.bin
[15:11] <Marky_> Those points aside, where is the option to see the full capacity of the drive?
[15:11] <compdoc> for volume sizes larger than 2.1TB, you should use the GPT partititon type
[15:12] <Haris> 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] <compdoc> and if you want to boot froma volume larger than 2.1TB, you need a UEFI bios
[15:12] <ikillcypher> ./unetbootin-linux-494: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:12] <Marky_> I don't boot from the RAID.  I have a Corsair SSD for boot.  The raid volume is for /home.
[15:13] <compdoc> good
[15:13] <Dennis8162> :
[15:13] <shelbydz> hey all, since upgrading to 12.10, I can't log into a secondary account from the login screen. When I type in the password, the screen goes back to the terminal real quick then back to the login screen.
[15:13] <Dennis8162> Ubuntu wont install
[15:13] <Dennis8162> cant mount oartition /
[15:13] <Haris> an SSD for just booting ?
[15:13] <Marky_> How do I set the GPT partition type?
[15:13] <compdoc> gparted is best
[15:13] <Marky_> At which point do I set it?
[15:13] <Haris> guys => 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

[15:14] <Marky_> Back to point one, I see no option to create GPT from the install menus at the partition creation screen.
[15:14] <ikillcypher> help !
[15:14] <compdoc> gparted is great for creating the partition
[15:14] <shelbydz> ikillcypher: you're missing some dependencies
[15:15] <h00k> ikillcypher: unetbootin exists in the repositories, you can just install it from  htere. You don't have to grab the binary and run it from there
[15:15] <h00k> ikillcypher: sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[15:15] <h00k> ikillcypher: or find it in the Software Center
[15:15] <ikillcypher> h00k : the one does not allow you to burn windows
[15:15] <compdoc> Marky_, its under the Device menu
[15:15] <Marky_> Okay.  I will check that when I get home and see what I can see there.
[15:15] <ikillcypher> . Some users have reported that some recent Unetbootin versions no longer let you select an USB drive formatted to NTFS and by formatting it to FAT, the Windows 7 installation fails. So here's what to do: download Unetbootin version 494 from HERE (version tested and it should work).
[15:17] <shelbydz> anyone have ideas on my login issue (:
[15:18] <ingsoc> how do you change date/time permanently on ubuntu without it switching back
[15:18] <ingsoc> (ubuntu 12.04)
[15:18] <llutz> ingsoc: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[15:19] <ikillcypher> wow no one is helping me at all
[15:19] <h00k> ikillcypher: sudo apt-get install libpng12-0
[15:19] <h00k> !patience | ikillcypher
[15:19] <sruli> nibbler: postfix and dovecot do not have webmail, do you know any others which do?
[15:19] <h00k> ikillcypher: looks like it's missing some libraries it needs.
[15:19] <llutz> sruli: add roundcube
[15:20] <shelbydz> ikillcypher: try a google on that missing library, find out which rpm it's in and install that.
[15:20] <sruli> nibbler: llutz: or does a webmail plugin exist for those?
[15:20] <ikillcypher> libpng12-0 is already the newest version.
[15:20] <ikillcypher> The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
[15:20] <ikillcypher>   linux-headers-3.5.0-17
[15:20] <llutz> sruli: no
[15:20] <h00k> shelbydz: so...it would be a deb and not an rpm.
[15:20] <BluesKaj> shelbydz, rpm

[15:28] <belgianguy> what are good precautions to protect my future dev machine?
[15:28] <clb> I'm looking for some form of VNC server on ubuntu, and VNC client on windows, right?
[15:28] <llutz> belgianguy: protect from what?

[15:28] <belgianguy> llutz: losing it due to format
[15:28] <belgianguy> I know backups
[15:28] <shelbydz> ingsoc: did you make that change as root?
[15:28] <llutz> belgianguy: take backups
[15:28] <brightspark> clb: openssh-server on linux, and vcxsrv with Putty on the Windows machine.
[15:29] <belgianguy> but the tweaks I made to get the Android NDK to debug or to make Eclipse debug PHP at breakpoints
[15:29] <ingsoc> how do you run the date/time applet as root ?
[15:29] <belgianguy> were very valuable, but now lost
[15:29] <ingsoc> shelbydz:  how do you run the date/time applet as root ?
[15:29] <shelbydz> ingsoc: from a terminal window
[15:29] <llutz> !backup | belgianguy
[15:29] <ingsoc> shelbydz: what is the command
[15:29] <shelbydz> sec
[15:29] <compdoc> clb, I like vnc4server, and for windows, the realvnc client
[15:30] <clb> brightspark: ooh.. that looks cool
[15:30] <clb> compdoc: thanks, I'll look into those vnc software
[15:30] <innatech> clb: take a look at x11vnc
[15:30] <clb> what do you think are pros/drawbacks of using a X server-client connection vs a VNC connection for this? which is better for remote desktop access
[15:30] <llutz> belgianguy: if they were " very valuable", why don't you have backups then?
[15:31] <compdoc> cant remember, but I think x11vnc has some drawbacks
[15:31] <belgianguy> llutz: I don't know, I have data backups
[15:31] <belgianguy> but not images of my hdd backups
[15:31] <llutz> belgianguy: you always should backup $HOME and /etc too
[15:32] <innatech> You can use VNC over SSH forwarding -- see http://babilonline.blogspot.com/2012/06/ubuntu-1204how-to-use-vnc-even-at-login.html  or http://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/ for representative write-ups
[15:32] <belgianguy> oh well, guess spring cleaning comes early this year
[15:32] <brightspark> clb: X server-client is simpler, less to go wrong.  VNC is more feature-rich.
[15:32] <llutz> !info rsnapshot  | belgianguy
[15:33] <llutz> belgianguy: no need to waiste diskpace with images
[15:33] <belgianguy> llutz: yeah, but now my system was so damaged that it was too late, I'm already reinstalling after backing up what I had
[15:33] <mindracer> anyone have audio over HDMI problems with ATI cards in 12.10? i read somewhere I should downgrade to 12.04.  audio over hdmi is not an option in my sound choices.
[15:33] <llutz> waste*
[15:33] <belgianguy> llutz: it has to store them somewhere, right?
[15:34] <llutz> belgianguy: thats how backups work, yes
[15:34] <sruli> llutz: so far the features of Kolab and Roundcube seem to be worth further investigation and trials for me... would u recommend any others i should investigate?
[15:34] <clb> innatech: thanks! those look very helpful
[15:34] <shelbydz> ingsoc: so if i go to the time settings window, switch to manual, change the time and hit CTRL-S, my time changes
[15:34] <innatech> clb: happy to help
[15:34] <belgianguy> heh, I'm just happy I decided to implement my server on a physical machine rather than ob my dev box
[15:35] <llutz> sruli: sorry no, i'm not very versed with groupware etc. i just saw you missing a webmail-frontend
[15:35] <belgianguy> or I'd be doubly screwed
[15:35] <ingsoc> shelbydz: it keeps switching back
[15:35] <sruli> llutz: between kolab and roundcube which would u recommend?
[15:35] <clb> also, this is a brand new ubuntu box I installed - a Giada miniPC. It has a wifi adapter, but it isn't working in linux. How would I go about troubleshooting on how to get it working, if possible?
[15:35] <belgianguy> roundcube is nice, looks better than squirrelmail
[15:36] <shelbydz> ingsoc: are you a sudo user on this computer?
[15:36] <belgianguy> a bit hard to setup if you don't know mail protocols (like me)
[15:36] <innatech> anyone ever seen a mdadm raid5 array decide to re-assemble with a spare drive marked active? Because I'm getting ready to exorcise my fileserver.
[15:36] <llutz> sruli: i only know roundcube, i installed it once for a company. it does its job. no idea about kolab.sry
[15:36] <brightspark> clb: Hook it up to a wire and search for proprietary drivers.
[15:36] <innatech> (as in shutdown with a five disk array, which becomes a six disk array on reboot)
[15:36] <ingsoc> shelbydz: i can sudo yes.  I just don't know how to sudo to load the date applet
[15:36] <Jezarith> So I have a run away process that is killing my load average on a server. It is running MySQL, so I'd prefer not to finger it. I can't log in... sits forever. Is there a solution to that?
[15:37] <delac> is there a way to convert svg to svg tiny with inkscape?
[15:37] <sruli> llutz: tnx, regarding ubuntu server how easy is it to upgrade to next version.. in other words should i go for LTS version or 12.10?
[15:37] <belgianguy> for server I'd say LTS
[15:37] <sruli> tnx
[15:38] <llutz> sruli: i'd go with lts, even though i only use debian on servers
[15:38] <shelbydz> ingsoc: i didn't run it as sudo. I opened system settings, clicked on Time and Date. switched to manual, changed time and hit CTRL-S
[15:38] <belgianguy> stability over features
[15:38] <shelbydz> ingsoc: then after about 2 sec my clock changed.
[15:38] <belgianguy> I'm experimenting with CentOS for servers
[15:38] <belgianguy> seems pretty decent as well

[15:38] <clb> brightspark: hmmh, did you refer that I should install vcxsrv on windows?
[15:39] <sruli> ubuntu server is without a GUI, right? i am new to linux and have only been using ubuntu for past year
[15:39] <llutz> sruli: yes
[15:39] <shelbydz> okay, repeating my q: My computer has 2 accounts on it. Mine is the main. and my wifes. After upgrading to 12.10, my wife cannot log into Unity. At the login screen, types in password, it briefly drops to a terminal then back to the login screen, like lightdm did a restart.
[15:39] <mr_chris> sruli: It is.
[15:40] <shelbydz> and I hear the startup noise.
[15:40] <sruli> can i install a GUI or is it a waste of time?
[15:40] <mr_chris> sruli: You should consider looking through there. https://library.linode.com
[15:40] <mr_chris> That has a lot of comprehensive howto's on doing common server tasks.
[15:40] <llutz> sruli: better to learn configuring it from commandline, but you could install X
[15:40] <holstein> shelbydz: if its just that user account, then its likely just that users config.. i would just remove/move/rename the .config files and test..
[15:40] <mr_chris> The arch linux wiki alwo has a lot of stuff.
[15:40] <brightspark> clb: Yes, that's how I connect to my Mint boxes
[15:41] <shelbydz> holstein: the ones specifically for lightdm?
[15:41] <ingsoc> shelbydz: looks like i had to switch off auto update in the applet.  save.  then run sudo date MMDDHHMM
[15:41] <mr_chris> sruli: You could install a GUI for some things. You could also set up webmin. Once you learn the command line way, though, that is when you become the most flexible and unhindered.
[15:41] <delac> holstein: thanks, but both these pages are pre 2007. Any more current info?
[15:41] <shelbydz> ingsoc: awesome! glad it's working.
[15:41] <ingsoc> shelbydz:  OMG it is still switching back
[15:41] <ingsoc> :(
[15:42] <sruli> it will take me a long time to learn to configure all form command line.. i am getting used to it slowly..
[15:42] <holstein> shelbydz: i usually do *all* of them, and test, and put them back.. the ones i need/want, i put back and then test until the broken config's are reset, and i am confortable with what i have returned
[15:42] <innatech> shelbybdz: what's in  cat /var/log | grep lightdm ?
[15:42] <shelbydz> ingsoc: did you install anything else time related while trying to fix this?
[15:42] <sruli> so which distro would u most recommend for server?
[15:42] <shelbydz> holstein: okay, thanks!
[15:42] <llutz> sruli: since there is no config/setup-gui, the only difference would be that you editor has a gui
[15:42] <clb> brightspark: can you point to some instructions on how that works? I have now ssh connection working ok with putty to the ubuntu box, and I installed vcxsrv
[15:42] <llutz> sruli: and its always worth the time to learn vim
[15:42] <clb> but I'm not sure what to do next
[15:43] <holstein> delac: if you can save or export to "svg tiny", thats the way i would do it.. open or create svg... export/save-as tiny svg.. shouldnt matter when support for that got implemented.. otherwise try the inkscape support
[15:43] <mr_chris> sruli: It is a slow process. I would suggest something like webmin as an alternative to installing X. Just don't leave it running when you are not configuring something as that would be a security hole.
[15:43] <llutz> !webmin | mr_chris
[15:43] <brightspark> clb: Okay I don't have the computer with vcxsrv handy but I'll try from memory
[15:43] <mr_chris> llutz: Ah. I didn't know that.
[15:43] <sruli> is there an alternative?
[15:44] <llutz> !ebox
[15:44] <brightspark> clb: It ought to have come with a program called Xlaunch, run that and select fullscreen.
[15:44] <llutz> sruli: ^^ see above
[15:44] <brightspark> clb: you can use the windows key to get back to the desktop
[15:44] <llutz> sruli: but as i said, better to take the hard way once
[15:44] <clb> brightspark: ok, done that
[15:44] <ingsoc> shelbydz: it would seem the time/date applet is sensitive
[15:44] <ingsoc> shelbydz: i have achieved what i wanted to do now
[15:44] <delac> 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...
[15:45] <ingsoc> shelbydz: thanks for the help
[15:45] <clb> brightspark: it asks "Start no client", "Start a program", "Open session via XDMCP"
[15:45] <belgianguy> sruli: I use nano
[15:45] <mr_chris> 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. However, if time constraints are an issue it's understandable to use a little help.
[15:45] <aartist>  Looking for some sort of status management of
[15:45] <aartist>                 issues by date/category etc. Which is an
[15:45] <aartist>                 appropriate package?  Or should be looking for some
[15:45] <aartist>                 external software?  Suggestions welcomed.
[15:45] <FloodBot1> aartist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:45] <belgianguy> also vey easy
[15:45] <shelbydz> ingsoc: yup. glad to be of service.
[15:45] <coolroot> what is linux-swap?

[15:45] <aartist>  Looking for some sort of status management of issues by date/category etc. Which is an appropriate software ?
[15:46] <brightspark> clb: I generally start no client from within vcxsrv; I use putty
[15:46] <chamunks> 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] <llutz> chamunks: getent passwd
[15:47] <innatech> mdraid 5 disk creation / 6 disk assembly pastebin here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5573624/
[15:47] <brightspark> clb: if Xlaunch gives you more options, just choose the defaults
[15:47] <chamunks> 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] <clb> 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] <brightspark> 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] <clb> brightspark: ok, did that. Any other options that need to be edited?
[15:50] <innatech> 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] <brightspark> clb: just the location of the computer to log into but it sounds like you got that sorted out.
[15:51] <tcarter> 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] <shelbydz> ingsoc: Was it changing back when you closed the time window?
[15:51] <llutz> 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] <holstein> tcarter: you can try it, though i would look for a PPA, or just build it yourself
[15:52] <clb> brightspark: ok. If I then log in and type e.g. 'gedit', I get "No protocol specified ** (gedit:3930): WARNING **: Could not open X display No protocol specified"
[15:52] <holstein> !ppa | tcarter
[15:52] <holstein> clb: you can use nano in CLI
[15:52] <holstein> !info nano
[15:53] <tcarter> holstein: thanks, i'll just try it. how do i do this - ie. how to intstruct apt to pick the newer one?

[15:53] <brightspark> clb: I don't know for sure if this is right in ubuntu; like I said I ssh into mint mostly, but try 'gnome-session' at the prompt
[15:54] <darkhelmet46> Howdy peeps and good morning to those of you in the US.
[15:54] <Juest> contstanly every few times im getting System problem detected and that other abrt dialog
[15:54] <shelbydz> ingsoc: ahh. makes sense.
[15:54] <holstein> 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
[15:54] <clb> brightspark: it says "No protocol specified"
[15:54] <Juest> ANyone?
[15:54] <holstein> Juest: what "system problem" ?
[15:54] <darkhelmet46> 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.

[15:55] <holstein> Juest: cool.. just eleborate for one of the volunteers here to try and assist

[15:56] <Jezarith> 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

[15:58] <Juest> holstein: ^
[15:58] <Jezarith> 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] <Juest> I have a noticiable lag in animations and such
[15:59] <Juest> it's possible that the kernel driver doesn't load?
[15:59] <holstein> 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] <holstein> Juest: you added that kernel module manually, so yes, anything is possible
[16:00] <darkhelmet46> 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] <foxx> @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] <Juest> holstein: i haven't, the ati installer did

[16:06] <holstein> 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

[16:19] <Juest> Jeez, nothing about ufs
[16:19] <irosi> My package manager actually still works, dpkg doesn't though

[16:20] <switchblade> can anyone help me with a BOOT problem?  grub2 sees neither Ubuntu, not Windows, but they're there.
[16:20] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: it's a series of numbers
[16:20] <darkhelmet46> holstein, thanks for the link.  I tried this, but it's not working?  chmod -rwxrwxrwx /media/mjoseph/Mule

[16:21] <Juest> see now
[16:21] <mr_chris> irosi: Are you using a separate boot partition? If so, how much space is left on it?
[16:21] <irosi> Juest: I already did that because I had the same error. :(

[16:21] <dragonfly> Hey guys, My system stuck with a lower resolution after a random compiz crash. only available resolution is 1024x768 and 800x600
[16:21] <dragonfly> can anyone help ?
[16:21] <darkhelmet46> xsl, I want read/write/execute.  It us a USB hard drive.  When I plug it in, GEdige pops up saying I don't have permissions.
[16:21] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: WTF its 5573713 and going up to 5573717
[16:22] <elijah> My external monitor detection stopped working in one of the recent updates on 12.04, with Nvidia -experimental 310 drivers all along. Any ideas?

[16:22] <Juest> and it's a series
[16:22] <FloodBot1> Juest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:22] <xsl> darkhelmet46, on my opinion you can work with a udev rule to make it automatic
[16:22] <irosi> mr_chris: It's a fresh install so I doubt it is full
[16:22] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: it goes up to 7 that paste id
[16:23] <mr_chris> irosi: I'll take that as everything is on one partition. Rules that out.
[16:23] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: I see not.
[16:23] <SonikkuAmerica> *now
[16:23] <Juest> :P
[16:23] <irosi> mr_chris: No, everything is not on one partition. One second, I will pastebin
[16:23] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: Im trying to uninstall fglrx
[16:23] <Juest> because kernel update broke libgl
[16:23] <Juest> actually
[16:23] <Juest> it's not broken, it's drivwer
[16:23] <Juest> driver*
[16:24] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: Did you manually edit a config somewhere?
[16:24] <mr_chris> irosi: "sudo update-initramfs -u" does nothing you said?
[16:24] <darkhelmet46> xsl, that didn't work either.  Weird!  Should I try /dev/sdb1 instead of /media/mjoseph/Mule ?
[16:24] <mateobur> hello
[16:24] <darkhelmet46> xsl, "Mule" is the volume name of the external hard drive.
[16:24] <switchblade> hi
[16:24] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: Nope, a kernel update broke this
[16:24] <mateobur> with the new dnsmasq, how are you supposed to set manual host entries?
[16:24] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: What does [ lsusb ] give you?
[16:24] <dragonfly> Juest, Can you help me ? I cant seem to change the screen resolution to anything higher than 1024x768
[16:24] <irosi> mr_chris: You are actually correct it would seem. gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[16:25] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: it's amd latest driver
[16:25] <xsl> darkhelmet46, you might need also to apply to the files and folder that are inside that USB disk
[16:25] <Juest> dragonfly: What you got?
[16:25] <darkhelmet46> sonda, i see the device listed here: Bus 002 Device 016: ID 1058:0740 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. My Passport 1TB
[16:25] <irosi> how can I grow my /boot partition? I am used to it only needing 32-50MB
[16:25] <Juest> dragonfly: What's the native resolution for your screen?
[16:25] <xsl> darkhelmet46, chmod -R a+wrx /directory
[16:25] <darkhelmet46> sorry, meant that for SonikkuAmerica
[16:25] <Guest21463> hi everyone.  I've set up a remote repo with apache.  I can browse to my repo, and even check out from it (but it's empty at this point).  I'm a little unsure as to how I commit my initial project though.  any tips?
[16:25] <Juest> irosi: GParted, on live cd
[16:25] <Esor> I need help
[16:25] <Guest21463> irosi, is if filling up?  you could remove some of the older, unused kernels
[16:25] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Oh no, wait: use [ sudo chmod 777 /path/to/whatever/diectory/you/wish ]
[16:26] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: so?
[16:26] <Esor> how to write it in a single command line primusrun /home/x/desura/common/beans-quest/./BeansQuest
[16:26] <xsl> chmod 777 = chmod a+rwx
[16:26] <mr_chris> irosi: I would give it about 200 MB. You can boot a rescue disk with gparted on it. system rescue cd or partedmagic will do.
[16:26] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: Give me a second :)
[16:26] <SonikkuAmerica> xsl: Correct
[16:26] <irosi> Juest: I only have the alternate install .iso. Could I just unmount /boot (/dev/sda1) with umount -l and use gparted without rebooting?
[16:26] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: No prob
[16:26] <irosi> also, does fdisk have similar functionality? That's already installed and I prefer CLI
[16:26] <mr_chris> 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] <Juest> irosi: you might need to resize the / too, so it's better livecd because nothing is in use
[16:27] <belgianguy> yay, on the fresh machine again
[16:27] <dragonfly> Juest, the resolution should be 1366x768 at least, I have an ATI graphic card
[16:27] <mr_chris> Then resize the partitions.
[16:27] <sKeiths> got rid of the huge logs (20gb worth), log.rotate, rm *.gz, rm *.1,  now to cause the reboot again.
[16:27] <irosi> Guest21463: I actually already removed 2 older images. apt loves pulling in worthless dependencies I guess
[16:27] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: Are you sure it was the kernel and not Xorg that broke this?
[16:27] <belgianguy> god I missed my xchat
[16:27] <Juest> dragonfly: you using radeon driver?
[16:27] <dragonfly> Juest, Nope, using X.org drivers
[16:27] <Juest> dragonfly: wierd, my computer renders in native resolution, which is 1366x768
[16:27] <Juest> dragonfly: lol, Xorg drivers is radeon open driver
[16:27] <belgianguy> where can I activate to use binary proprietary drivers?
[16:28] <irosi> Juest: I am on DSL connection and it would take an hour to download the CD, and I only have around 40 minutes right now. Could I umount -l /boot and /home, shrink /home by 300MB, and then grow /boot by 300MB?
[16:28] <darkhelmet46> xsl, and SonikkuAmerica, I tried chmod -R a+wrx and no-go, then i tried chmod 777 and no-go.  :(
[16:28] <Juest> irosi: Get Parted Magic
[16:28] <belgianguy> iirc, there was somewhere an option you had to activate
[16:28] <Juest> irosi: A small image
[16:28] <dragonfly> Juest, actually this happened after a random compiz crash ehen I was trying to tweak some windoes settings with CCSM
[16:28] <Juest> irosi: as long nothing affects the system you can unmount
[16:28] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: You sudo 'ed it right?
[16:29] <Juest> dragonfly: lol, compiz never crashed for me
[16:29] <belgianguy> compiz completely shat itself last night and forced me to reinstall :(
[16:29] <Juest> but i have problems using mutter
[16:29] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, i am running terminal as root.
[16:29] <darkhelmet46> got a # prompt
[16:29] <SonikkuAmerica> o
[16:29] <SonikkuAmerica> kk
[16:29] <xsl> darkhelmet46, let me see if I get the picture... your mouting a USB disk ... ( so you must be using fuse ) and you cant edit the files within? .. is it in NTFS ? see if you have ntfs-3g on your system ( dpk -l|grep ntfs)
[16:29] <irosi> quick question... why does Ubuntu take up so much space on /boot to begin with? the ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed 3 kernel images and moduels to go along with each image.
[16:29] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: Yes, unless Xorg was updated
[16:29] <SimpleUser> 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] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: Kernel did broke
[16:29] <dragonfly> Juest, It crashes very frequently for me. anyway, can you suggest any workaround this problem ? Its really irritating :(
[16:29] <SonikkuAmerica> xsl: Is that  dpkg -l?
[16:29] <darkhelmet46> xsl, not exactly.  I plug the thing in, it mounts, and I can't even read the root directory.
[16:30] <irosi> am I carelessly using apt? usually I use pacman or BSD ports (since I am used to Arch and FreeBSD)
[16:30] <jrib> irosi: which 3?
[16:30] <SonikkuAmerica> xsl: Is that  dpkg -l?
[16:30] <ikonia> irosi: shouldn't install 3 kernels
[16:30] <Juest> dragonfly: Get the flgrx from amd
[16:30] <mr_chris> irosi: You could remove unused kernels to free up space.
[16:30] <dragonfly> Juest, ok, will try installing that too
[16:30] <xsl> SonikkuAmerica, dpkg -l lists all packages on your system ... and grep will filter it
[16:30] <irosi> mr_chris: I have already done that with all unnecessary kernels
[16:30] <Juest> dragonfly: and that's the propietary drivers
[16:30] <darkhelmet46> xsl, I see what you're getting at.  Ubuntu can't natively read NTFS file systems?
[16:30] <ikonia> irosi: which kernels did it install
[16:30] <SimpleUser> I always succeed to have a correct sound but today, nothing great. What is the best configuration of the sound level ? A 100% volume tuned up for microphone ? What the difference between internal microphone, and simple microphone ?
[16:30] <SonikkuAmerica> xsl: You typed dpkg -l last time
[16:30] <SimpleUser> What is mic boost and internal mic boost ?
[16:31] <xsl> darkhelmet46, depends on the version you have... or the flavour you have installed
[16:31] <ikonia> darkhelmet46: it can read ntfs, it can't write without ntfs-3g
[16:31] <dragonfly> Juest, Yeah, I know that. just wanted to stick with X.org drivers
[16:31] <irosi> ikonia: one second. I actually purged one and installed another, so you will only be able to see 2/3
[16:31] <SonikkuAmerica> (Mental note: reverse mIRC colors)
[16:31] <darkhelmet46> xsl, I am running 12.10.
[16:31] <Juest> dragonfly: ya, but that's the old radeon driver, you are better off with propietary drivers,
[16:31] <SonikkuAmerica> xsl: Or rather just dpk -l
[16:31] <Juest> dragonfly: because of acceleration
[16:31] <xsl> the "g" ran away
[16:31] <darkhelmet46> xsl and SonikkuAmerica i do have it installed
[16:32] <dragonfly> Juest, cool. Thanks for the tip :)
[16:32] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: what i do?
[16:32] <Juest> dragonfly: btw, im suffering a problem with drivers, kernel update broke libgl/fglrx/acceleration (desktop is laggy)
[16:32] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: That's a good question. It seems like your Catalyst driver is broken. :(
[16:32] <irosi> 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] <sKeiths> anyone know the equivelent of cat, that give you up down scroll thru action for looking at logs.
[16:33] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: It's, but i can't uninstall
[16:33] <darkhelmet46> xsl and SonikkuAmerica and yes, the drive is NTFS.

[16:34] <SonikkuAmerica> dbolton: It says you have version 304 of nVidia drivers
[16:34] <xsl> darkhelmet46, as root do a ls -l /directory and what you see as permissions of the file you wish to edit

[16:34] <irosi> I'm going to try rebooting, logging into root, dropping to console and launching parted after unmounting /boot and /home, I'll let you guys know how it goes.
[16:34] <dragonfly> Juest, simply did dpkg --remove for that, or apt-get should do as well

[16:40] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: so, what do i do?
[16:40] <darkhelmet46> 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.
[16:41] <Juest> btw Graphics in Details say: VESA: WRESTLER
[16:41] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: I don't know. I've never worked with AMD graphics modules before.
[16:41] <irosi> Any way to kill unity without it automatically relaunching? Or will I need to modify runlevel
[16:41] <Croatian> Looks like lots of people are complaining about Intel graphics today.
[16:41] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: To tide you over, you might add "nomodeset" to your "linux" line in GRUB.
[16:41] <irosi> pkill unity kills unity, but it immediately relaunches
[16:41] <Juest> lol, Kernel Broke intel
[16:41] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: why nomodeset?
[16:41] <sKeiths> anyone here make sense of drbd or is there a specific channel? I think its drbd thats causing my reboots.
[16:42] <dragonfly> Croatian, Yeah, it looks like some recent update messes up fglrx somehow :P
[16:42] <Juest> also, KVM doesn't work
[16:42] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: nomodeset will get you into failsafe X mode.
[16:42] <Juest> The automatic resolution
[16:42] <xsl> darkhelmet46, what file you wish to edit? have you tried to do a ls -l on the file ?
[16:42] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: idk, i think i can't ever run failsafe x
[16:42] <Juest> SonikkuAmerica: btw, command for failsafex?
[16:42] <Croatian> @dragonfly: Thank you! I see that I'm not alone. Oh, well :-(
[16:43] <darkhelmet46> xsl, that is the last line of the pastebin.  It's not a file, it's the root directory of the drive.
[16:43] <xsl> darkhelmet46, what your ls -l shows is that user mjoseph can read write and execute
[16:43] <Juest> (i want to run failsafe x now)
[16:43] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: Reboot into GRUB, select  Ubuntu ... (recovery mode)  and when the recovery menu shows up, select  failsafeX .
[16:43] <darkhelmet46> xsl, it's lying.  :)
[16:43] <dragonfly> Croatian, same problem with graphics driver ??!!
[16:43] <Juest> How do i run failsafe x without restarting?

[16:43] <Juest> or activate recovery mode without reboot
[16:43] <SonikkuAmerica> Juest: There isn't a way to do that AFAIK
[16:43] <xsl> darkhelmet46, what are you trying to acomplish? edit a file? is the user trying to write to the media mjoseph ?

[16:45] <darkhelmet46> 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] <Juest> Mutter doesn't work
[16:46] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Where was the last place you used the USB drive?
[16:46] <xsl> darkhelmet46, your using Unity?
[16:46] <Juest> airlynx: Choose manual
[16:46] <Juest> airlynx: and use 64bits 12.10
[16:46] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, in a Windows 7 OS.  xsl, Yes.
[16:47] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Did you "safely remove" it?
[16:47] <airlynx> Juest, if I choose manual will Grub be able to detect win8 later?
[16:47] <medeng963> 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] <Juest> airlynx: maybe, grub entry have a condition "script"'
[16:47] <xsl> darkhelmet46, so instead of opening nautilus... your opening gedit?
[16:47] <levo> how to make a flash memory bootable (it's an iso file i should put it on a flash memory)
[16:47] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, define "safely" ;)  j/k, actually I removed it after shutting down the computer.
[16:47] <SonikkuAmerica> medeng963: I assume it's plugged in now?
[16:48] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: I mean the little menu in the Win 7 systray
[16:48] <darkhelmet46> xsl, no, I am not that much of a noob.  :)
[16:48] <Juest> Finding via uefi otherwise search for it :P
[16:48] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Oh. In that case, I hope it unmounted correctly.
[16:48] <xsl> darkhelmet46, instead of pressing the icon that appears with the usb mount.. open nautilus yourself and browse to the USB device
[16:48] <darkhelmet46> xsl, tried that too, same thing.
[16:49] <xsl> darkhelmet46, the thing that is cracking my head is "why gedit shows"
[16:49] <medeng963> 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] <Juest> How do i uninstall faulty fglrx? ( can't use amd-uninstall.sh or fglrx-uninstall.sh)
[16:49] <Croatian> @SonikkuAmerica: It reinstalls, but it's still the same.
[16:49] <SonikkuAmerica> airlynx: Hopefully it does... if not, boot into Ubuntu after it's done installing and run  sudo update-grub  in a terminal.
[16:50] <Juest> How do i do?
[16:50] <darkhelmet46> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: OK, we can rule that out at least...
[16:50] <darkhelmet46> xsl, apparently that's what happens when you don't have permissions to read the file or folder.
[16:50] <xsl> darkhelmet46, does your USB disk have a special partition that stores an .exe or autorun ?
[16:50] <Juest> can someone help me?
[16:50] <xsl> i never seen that to be honest
[16:50] <airlynx> Should I create an empty partition for Linux before booting the installer, or should I do it in the installer?
[16:51] <Juest> anyone?
[16:51] <darkhelmet46> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> airlynx: If you don't have one, you should at least define an ext4 partition.
[16:52] <SonikkuAmerica> airlynx: The installer will do the job if you select "Something else"
[16:53] <airlynx> okay, I'll give it a shot, if all else fails I do have recovery disks, lol
[16:53] <darkhelmet46> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Can you read/write to it OK?
[16:54] <xsl> darkhelmet46, so the problem is the binding of that button ... for some reason it thinks it can open a folder using gedit
[16:54] <xsl> and gedit its like notepad or vim
[16:54] <mandla> 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] <mandla> please help.
[16:55] <mandla> what can be the problem?
[16:55] <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.
[16:55] <lordcyfer> Who can give me the names of the packages handling keyboard mapping for the desktop ?
[16:56] <darkhelmet46> xsl, actually it is happening with my Windows7 partition too.  Same error.
[16:56] <KI4RO> Anyone know how to get a Toshiba satellite to restart under Ubuntu 12.10?
[16:57] <darkhelmet46> xsl and SonikkuAmerica: Are we having FUN yet?  :D
[16:58] <dragonfly> Juest, I just fixed the resolution problem by resetting unity and compiz and rebooting in an older kernel.
[16:58] <darkhelmet46> dragonfly, you rock.
[16:58] <xsl> darkhelmet46, wen  you executed "dpkg -l|grep ntfs" what did it show ?
[16:59] <dragonfly> darkhelmet46, not really, I believe its the kernel actually causing problem. I booted into .19 and everything is fine again.
[16:59] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: <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] <darkhelmet46> xsl, it shows ii  ntfs-3g                                   1:2012.1.15AR.5-4ubuntu3
[17:00] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Either that, or you clicked on the DEVICE rather than the mounted DIRECTORY
[17:01] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, yes I clicked the Device.  I do not see a mounted directory?
[17:01] <alainus> hi artists
[17:01] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Do this:  cd /media/ && ls
[17:02] <alainus> 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] <darkhelmet46> ok I am in /media and contents are a folder called mjoseph
[17:02] <darkhelmet46> the drive should be mounted in /media/mjoseph/Mule
[17:02] <alainus> (i  know how to find the software center)
[17:02] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: OK, then  cd mjoseph
[17:02] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: and then  ls  again
[17:03] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, Permission denied.  :O
[17:03] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: As root?
[17:03] <Guest92188> Has anyone used Bouml?
[17:04] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, as root it works.  So I need to chmode /media/mjoseph instead of /media/mjoseph/Mule like I was doing before?
[17:04] <darkhelmet46> chmod*
[17:04] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Yes.  sudo chmod 777 /media/mjoseph/
[17:04] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Oh no wait... you can't do that.
[17:05] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: File system mismatch: NTFS vs. ext4
[17:05] <darkhelmet46> SonikkuAmerica, you think I should plug the thing into a Windows box and mess with permissions there instead?
[17:05] <llutz> darkhelmet46: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,umask=000 /media/mjoseph/Mule
[17:06] <SonikkuAmerica> darkhelmet46: Your  chmod commands aren't working because of that. Check out llutz's suggestion above.
[17:07] <darkhelmet46> llutz, didn't work.  :(
[17:07] <belgianguy> how does one unlock the experimental driver of AMD in 12.10?

[17:08] <belgianguy> no experimental one

[17:11] <darkhelmet46> i just closed it and opened it again, and now it works.  wow.  der.
[17:11] <darkhelmet46> llutz, wow, now all my NTFS paritions are working too.
[17:12] <llutz> !ntfs| darkhelmet46 you don't use chmod/chown on ntfs
[17:12] <llutz> !NTFS-3g | darkhelmet46
[17:12] <darkhelmet46> Thanks very much, llutz.  I bookmarked those.

[17:42] <Groggster> So I've got some problems with FGLRX... can anyone to help me? The problem is that it sets itself to the wrong refresh rate after a reboot, so every time I start my computer I have to go into catalyst control centre and choose the correct setting, and this is getting really annoying.
[17:42] <ClientAlive> I'm not sure what's going on with my graphics. I just bought this laptop and wanted to use myunity for some configurations. It tells me I'm running in 2d mode so not much it will let me do. Well, when I start looking into that and into stuff like lshw things don't seem right.
[17:42] <ClientAlive> I opted for an upgrade graphics card with my purchase (a nvidia gt 650) but lshw says something about "msi..." Did I get screwed by hp?
[17:42] <holstein> Groggster: i would set a custom xorg.conf
[17:43] <ikonia> ClientAlive: first - find out what video card you have
[17:43] <Groggster> Yeh, the correct refresh rate is set in xorg.conf...
[17:43] <llutz> ClientAlive: "lspci |grep -i vga"
[17:43] <ikonia> ClientAlive: get screwed by HP ?? what
[17:43] <ikonia> ClientAlive: second - find out if you are using the correct xorg configuration
[17:43] <holstein> Groggster: i would just see that its setup properly in the xorg... see that it is being loaded and all that

[17:44] <holstein> c2tarun: i run vbox in 12.04
[17:44] <ClientAlive> ikonia: ok. one sec. sorry bout the other day btw. I got a little too hot about something stupid .
[17:45] <c2tarun> holstein, is vbox same as virtualbox?
[17:45] <Groggster> c2tarun: Yes, it's the same thing...
[17:46] <holstein> c2tarun: i run the application virtualbox that you asked about in ubuntu 12.04 without any issues
[17:46] <c2tarun> holstein, how did you fix kernel missing module issue?
[17:46] <ClientAlive> ikonia: zAo^: lspci |grep -i vga  shows both the intel integrated graphics and the nvidia. How can I find out if I'm using the correct xorg configuration? Or where can I get info to do so?
[17:47] <ClientAlive> I guess the -i flag makes a difference  :s
[17:47] <c2tarun> holstein, I am getting this error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)    while trying to start any virtual operating system.
[17:47] <ikonia> ClientAlive: so it's an optimus card, which probably explains th eproblem
[17:47] <ClientAlive> ikonia: an optimus card?
[17:47] <holstein> c2tarun: i would just reinstall vbox, and see if that fixes the issue for you
[17:47] <ClientAlive> ikonia: how can you tell that?
[17:47] <zAo^> ClientAlive: xvinfo should show the current
[17:48] <c2tarun> holstein, already tried, purged and reinstalled thrice.
[17:48] <ClientAlive> zAo^: when I ran that, all I see is uuid or uid (something like that).
[17:48] <ClientAlive> I'll run it again, what am I looking for?
[17:49] <c2tarun> holstein, meanwhile I am downloading latest version of virtualbox from oracle site, I think latest is not in repositories.
[17:49] <c2tarun> BTW can anyone please tell me, if I install a package directly from .deb file by dpkg --install, then how can I remove it later?
[17:49] <ikonia> ClientAlive: because it's intel and nvidia
[17:49] <holstein> c2tarun: you can remove it using the package manager of your choice
[17:50] <c2tarun> holstein, ok, thanks :)
[17:50] <ClientAlive> ikonia: ok, thx.

[18:03] <byt3b0mb> good morning
[18:04] <michealPW> I recently put Ubuntu 12.10 (64-bit) on my MacBook Pro w/ Retina. 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] <byt3b0mb> can anyone help me get my ultrabook to dual boot win 8 and ubuntu secure remix
[18:04] <michealPW> Any ideas? :|
[18:04] <michealPW> I've also tried downloading the driver package from nvidia.com..
[18:04] <michealPW> 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] <ubo> chi mi puo aiutare
[18:04] <byt3b0mb> 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] <eggi67> i want to know if the ubuntu (in particular xubuntu) installation disk offers the possibility to create and resize ntfs partitions
[18:04] <holstein> 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] <michealPW> 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..

[18:07] <holstein> darkhelmet46: sure.. but in the big scheme, whats the issue? are you getting support for all your ram?
[18:08] <darkhelmet46> 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.

[18:21] <darkhelmet46> holstein, cool.
[18:25] <blargg> Anything support smart playlists on iPod/iPhone?
[18:25] <mehdi> wat is hd3 format?
[18:25] <belgianguy> ugh, found the culprit that made the machine go down
[18:25] <belgianguy> fglrx once again
[18:26] <belgianguy> switch to OSS gfx drivers, and it all works
[18:26] <belgianguy> wasted a whole day because those shoddy programmers at AMD/ATI can't do it
[18:30] <crazyharry> I am trying to download office 2010 for Ubuntu, when I goto microsoft website all they give me is the exe file but not the iso file, how do I download iso of Office 2010
[18:32] <dn4> how do I remove a directory and everything inside of it using command
[18:32] <dn4> I tried rm
[18:32] <dn4> rm: cannot remove `backup/': Is a directory
[18:33] <belgianguy> dn4, be carefult with what I'm about to tell you, execute it wrongly and you'll delete too much
[18:33] <belgianguy> and probably break your system
[18:33] <belgianguy> rm -rf backup
[18:33] <belgianguy> will get rid of the backup folder
[18:33] <belgianguy> and everything in it
[18:33] <mafoelffen_> @crazyharry Under PlayOnLiinux
[18:33] <dn4> ahhh so I need to force it
[18:34] <belgianguy> I don't understand why Linus was so aggressive vs Nvidia, but not a peep about AMD
[18:34] <dn4> belgianguy, great that worked; any idea where the files went now?
[18:34] <belgianguy> I've had more headaches from AMD in 2 days than I ever had with Nvidia
[18:35] <belgianguy> dn4, gone forever
[18:35] <belgianguy> rm = remove
[18:35] <dn4> belgianguy, forever ? not even the FBIs can get it ?
[18:35] <belgianguy> well, no
[18:35] <crazyharry> mafoelffen_, does playon linux has office 2010 iso ?
[18:35] <belgianguy> then you'd need shredding/bleaching techniques
[18:36] <Pici> crazyharry: You would need to contact Microsoft if you need the ISO from them.
[18:36] <crazyharry> ohh ok
[18:36] <belgianguy> dn4, you can also use dd to overwrite a patch you don't want to use anymore
[18:36] <dn4> lost me there with dd
[18:36] <belgianguy> but there are some bleaching programs available as well, which erase free space
[18:36] <belgianguy> bleachbit IIRC
[18:36] <mafoelffen_> No, but the the ISO will install and run under it...
[18:37] <dn4> ok thanks again belgianguy
[18:37] <mafoelffen_> Wait one, I have link for instructions...
[18:39] <mafoelffen_> http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-install-ms-office-2010-in-linux.html ... except that instaead of installing that commandline, you can install the base package of PlayOnLinux from the repo's
[18:39] <Milan-86> Hi everone! How to fix maximize window lag animation on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit? I have ati radeon hd 5670 and i used 13.2 beta 6 driver. I turned off sync to vblank, rebooted the system, but no luck
[18:40] <yacc_> Any idea what would a linux bridge cause not to function? Adding the IP address to the underlying ethernet device works fine, but doing it to the bridge and brctl addif-ing the hardware interface does not work.
[18:40] <mafoelffen_> You still have to have a M$ Office ISO or download it from M$
[18:40] <darkhelmet46> Holy crap, Virtualbox runs so much better in a non-Wubi install.
[18:41] <lordcyfer> yacc  run vb as root to test
[18:42] <fleixius_> During bootup, what script is executed that displays the 'starting <process> [OK]' messages?
[18:42] <yacc_> lordcyfer, vb?
[18:42] <fleixius_> I have a hung process that doesnt let me boot, cant figure it out
[18:42] <lordcyfer> sorry yacc_
[18:42] <lordcyfer> Virtual box
[18:42] <lordcyfer> but i mess up two lines in the chat
[18:43] <yacc_> No VirtualBox here ;)
[18:43] <yacc_> root shell yes, but no vb involved ;)
[18:44] <rax-> does apt-get autoremove actually remove old kernels?
[18:44] <lordcyfer> i saw bridge problems and few lines later Virtualbox
[18:44] <ert3go> Hello, I've got a weird problem.All the websites don't load fast.For e.g I can easily browse reddit but imgur.com times out.
[18:44] <lordcyfer> no rax-
[18:44] <yacc_> rax: nope.
[18:44] <Milan-86> How to fix AMD Radeon card lag on Uubntu 12.10?! :((((
[18:44] <rax-> is there a way to do that via apt?
[18:45] <lordcyfer> yes
[18:45] <lordcyfer> apt-get remove
[18:45] <diphtherial> apologies for this kind of silly question, but i'm currently running debian and i'd like to install some packages that are available only for ubuntu
[18:45] <rax-> yea but I need to do it automatically
[18:45] <mafoelffen_> @crazyharry, Did you understand that you can get a backup/online ISO dl from there...
[18:45] <diphtherial> would it be a bad idea to run a virtual machine with ubuntu installed within debian so that i could use those packages, but not disturb my existing system?
[18:45] <mafoelffen_> But it's still going to ask for a product key?
[18:46] <lordcyfer> You may have your reason but you will need to script it
[18:47] <mafoelffen_> And that ISO is still WIN OS, but can run on-top-of PlayOnLinux...
[18:47] <diphtherial> this question is probably more appropriate for a debian channel, on second thought; thanks anyhow :)
[18:47] <crazyharry> mafoelffen_, yeah thanks
[18:47] <lordcyfer> it is dirty rax dpkg --list | grep linux-image-3 | cut -d ' ' -f 3
[18:47] <lordcyfer> it will give you the list
[18:47] <lordcyfer> play with tail and head
[18:48] <lordcyfer> to remove everything but the last one
[18:48] <rax-> mm thanks
[18:48] <lordcyfer> really be careful
[18:48] <mafoelffen_> @fleixius What message does it hang at?
[18:48] <lordcyfer> removing old kernel on a distro with so frequents update is not sage
[18:48] <lordcyfer> safe

[19:22] <Pwnguin1> Hello, I have some problems with Ubuntu. My desktop looks different. I think it has something to do with some settings I changed when booting up. I don't have a wallpaper anymore, I have a different thing. I could upload a screenshot online and send the URL here to show you what I mean.
[19:22] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5574262/
[19:23] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, that was from snaptic
[19:23] <Pwnguin1> But print screening doesn't seem to work either. It works with Win7.
[19:23] <harrisr> i tried reinstalling everything that was already installed dealing with update since i search update
[19:23] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica,
[19:24] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: (?) No dependency tree?
[19:24] <harrisr> what?
[19:24] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, what?
[19:24] <eduardo> Hello, Good afternoon!
[19:24] <harrisr> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5574262/
[19:24] <eduardo> I'm learning English! I'm from Brazil.
[19:25] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: Oh no, I'm thinking about  sudo apt-get install $WHATEVER
[19:25] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, this is outcome from what jrib  made me type in command line http://paste.ubuntu.com/5574262/
[19:26] <harrisr> jrib, u still there
[19:26] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: Yeah... but it just looks like something's wrong in the post-install scripts... they are trying to reference unknown commands or function calls.
[19:26] <eduardo> Someone could help me?
[19:27] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, what can i do i just want to update my pc and use it
[19:27] <harrisr> eduardo, with what
[19:28] <eduardo> I need to learn to speak English!
[19:28] <eduardo> I'm from Brazil!
[19:28] <eduardo> kkkk
[19:28] <SonikkuAmerica> !br | eduardo, easy solution here
[19:28] <jrib> harrisr: as a guess, what's the output of "type pyclean"?
[19:29] <harrisr> wait i enter                     type clean
[19:29] <harrisr> type type pyclean
[19:29] <harrisr> typo
[19:29] <harrisr> type pyclean
[19:30] <eduardo> I know, more i want learn the speak English!
[19:30] <eduardo> kk
[19:31] <jrib> SonikkuAmerica, harrisr: i have to go, but a couple of things: 1) it's an issue with prerm scripts; is update manager getting removed? why?   2) if it turns out pyclean is not the issue, I would try adding "set -x" to the prerm scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ for the packages
[19:31] <peppo> hi. I've scoured launchpad but not been able to find anyone with similar issues: choppy performance in chrome/flash/youtube fullscreen, which was great until a few days ago, and works great in firefox. anyone else with this? on 12.10
[19:31] <SonikkuAmerica> jrib: Got it
[19:32] <harrisr> what a what what
[19:32] <harrisr> english please
[19:32] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: What jrib is trying to say is that the pre-removal scripts seem to be calling update-manager, which it can't find for some reason.
[19:33] <harrisr> ok so how can we fix it asap
[19:34] <harrisr> since i want to get back to learning python
[19:34] <diphtherial> hello; i'd like to run ubuntu as a guest OS, but without any of the gui stuff...is there are a specific version i should download that doesn't include any gui stuff?
[19:34] <diphtherial> (perhaps the server version?)
[19:34] <diphtherial> i'd like it to be as stripped down as possible
[19:34] <SonikkuAmerica> diphtherial: You might try the minimal ISO
[19:34] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: Start by running pyclean (install it if you don't have it if you can)
[19:35] <diphtherial> is there a minimal version of ubuntu server or just ubuntu?
[19:36] <diphtherial> *or is it just for ubuntu?
[19:36] <harrisr> how do i install "sudo apt-get install pyclean"
[19:36] <diphtherial> install it...? you just run that command, sudo apt-get install pyclean
[19:36] <SonikkuAmerica> diphtherial: Ubuntu Server is minimal unto itself, but if you just want a desktop install get the minimal Ubuntu ISO off the Web site.
[19:36] <Pilif12p> Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to change a key, like pause, on my keyboard to act as a sysrq key instead.
[19:36] <SonikkuAmerica> diphtherial: Actually it's included in the Python stuff
[19:36] <Pilif12p> is this possible?
[19:37] <diphtherial> SonikkuAmerica: ah, i'll go with ubuntu server, then :) i don't want a desktop install (this is for my headless home server into which i only ssh)
[19:37] <SonikkuAmerica> Pilif12p: SysRq is hard-coded into Alt+PrtScrn
[19:37] <Pilif12p> SonikkuAmerica: oh, did not know that.
[19:38] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica, how do i install "sudo apt-get install pyclean"
[19:38] <away> harrisr, type that in a terminal
[19:38] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: If you have Python (you should) it's already included.
[19:39] <harrisr> i dont have python     and Reading package lists... Done
[19:39] <harrisr> Building dependency tree
[19:39] <harrisr> Reading state information... Done
[19:39] <harrisr> E: Unable to locate package pyclean
[19:40] <Dra|n> harrisr dude what do you want to do ?
[19:40] <Dra|n> update the tree of apt-get?
[19:40] <diphtherial> you'll probably want to install python as well if it's not already installed
[19:41] <diphtherial> as SonikkuAmerica mentioned, pyclean's part of the python package
[19:41] <harrisr> what is the code to install python
[19:41] <diphtherial> the command to install a package is always sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[19:41] <shock_jpc> sudo apt-get install python (i think?)
[19:41] <Pilif12p> python should be installed automatically, isn't it?
[19:42] <diphtherial> Pilif12p: most likely, yeah...
[19:42] <diphtherial> harrisr: maybe just try running pyclean directly?
[19:42] <Pilif12p> i mean, when i was new to Linux I removed Python... and GNOME broke completely
[19:42] <shock_jpc> yeah, but it didnt come on my mint...
[19:42] <harrisr> diphtherial, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5574331/
[19:43] <diphtherial> harrisr: how bizarre...i have no idea :\
[19:44] <diphtherial> oof, ubuntu srver is minimal at 672mb? @_@ or is it there just a lot of wasted space in the iso?
[19:44] <harrisr> Dra|n, i have a error message saying a problem occured while checking for the updates. so i went to synaptic and search update and reinstalled everythin this was already installed and that where i got the errors
[19:44] <SonikkuAmerica> EEEEEEE! Ubuntu bases about half its stuff on Python! NEVER EVER EVER remove Python!!
[19:44] <diphtherial> not to mention that python is awesome
[19:44] <harrisr> i dont have ubuntu i have pear linux based on ubuntu 12.04

[19:47] <harrisr> i just need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[19:47] <diphtherial> indeed o_o
[19:47] <NepgearGoddess> harrisr: You need at least 20 exclamation marks to be granted help
[19:48] <harrisr> i just need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[19:48] <harrisr> happy

[19:50] <smcguinness> i setup an HAProxy service a little while ago, and I'm having to do it again
[19:50] <selena2013> is this channel for general ubuntu help or is there another channel ?
[19:50] <SonikkuAmerica> selena2013: You found the right channel
[19:50] <smcguinness> I remember using a command that was like "haproxy on" or something that allowed it to start automatically on boot
[19:50] <selena2013> thanks
[19:50] <smcguinness> does anyone know what I'm talking about?
[19:51] <switchblade_> can anyone help me with a boot problem?
[19:51] <switchblade_> please
[19:52] <bekks> !anyone | switchblade_
[19:52] <mr_chris> switchblade_: Don't ask to ask just ask.
[19:52] <paperplane> 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] <switchblade_> i did earlier and nobody answered
[19:52] <switchblade_> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> paperplane: Depends. How recent is your C library?
[19:53] <switchblade_> i know because i have it booted up on a live disc now
[19:53] <diphtherial> hmm, is the mini CD install for both the server and desktop versions?
[19:53] <smcguinness> nm found it: "chkconfig haproxy on"
[19:53] <SonikkuAmerica> paperplane: Do  gcc --version  in a terminal
[19:53] <mr_chris> 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] <diphtherial> (i.e. can i choose at installation time which one i want?)
[19:53] <switchblade_> thanks, mr. chris
[19:53] <selena2013> switchlade use repair-boot to fix it
[19:53] <mr_chris> switchblade_: One second. I'll find you a tutorial that may help you with this.
[19:53] <switchblade_> how do i know which partitian is my root?
[19:54] <OerHeks> diphtherial, no, server is a different iso
[19:54] <diphtherial> OerHeks: even for a minimal CD, huh? :\ i haven't been able to find it
[19:54] <diphtherial> i've been able to find the 600mb+ ubuntu server iso, though
[19:54] <mafoelffen_> technode can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[19:54] <mr_chris> switchblade_: http://www.knowledge76.com/index.php/Restore_Grub_Bootloader
[19:55] <switchblade_> mr_chris - you the man, i'll try this out
[19:55] <diphtherial> 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] <diphtherial> ah, never mind, that's wrong
[19:55] <mr_chris> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> 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] <diphtherial> 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] <OerHeks> diphtherial, get it from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
[19:56] <mr_chris> 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] <luckybunny> 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] <OerHeks> diphtherial, ubuntu server comes with no gui, never did.
[19:57] <NepgearGoddess> diphtherial: A default server install doesn't include a GUI
[19:57] <diphtherial> OerHeks: argh, heh, ok; i'd just downloaded and then deleted that one when i saw that post about the mini CD
[19:57] <diphtherial> time to download it again, i suppose
[19:57] <diphtherial> any idea why the iso is so huge?
[19:57] <bobolopolis> it includes a lot of commonly used programs that are optionally installed
[19:57] <bekks> Define "huge".
[19:57] <SonikkuAmerica> diphtherial: Which ISO/
[19:57] <diphtherial> http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64.iso
[19:57] <OerHeks> be happy it still fits on a cd+r
[19:57] <diphtherial> that one, which is now apparently going to take four hours to download @_@
[19:58] <NepgearGoddess> That's not huge... it comes with a lot of server type software bundled, LAMP stack etc.
[19:58] <mr_chris> 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] <diphtherial> fair enough, but i really just need the OS and not all the bundled software...
[19:58] <paperplane> SonikkuAmerica: Sorry for the delay. My gcc version is 4.6.3
[19:58] <switchblade_> mr_chris - can i post a screenshot to you?  i forgot how though...
[19:59] <mr_chris> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> paperplane: Now check to see if the es-MX Unicode locale is supported in / Entonces chequea a ver se el local <<es-MX.utf8>> ha soportado en GCC 4.6.3

[20:01] <AcidRain> i need help stopping gnome2 from logging to xsessions-error logs
[20:01] <AcidRain> how do i make gnome2 not log anything?
[20:02] <AcidRain> disk is filling up to 100%
[20:02] <AcidRain> its at 47% now. it was at 11% 5min ago
[20:02] <NepgearGoddess> AcidRain: Why is it logging so much?
[20:02] <bekks> AcidRain: How large is that file now?
[20:02] <mafoelffen> 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] <AcidRain> 50%
[20:03] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: ah, so you can use the mini ISO after all...
[20:03] <bekks> AcidRain: How large is that file now?
[20:03] <NepgearGoddess> AcidRain: You could direct it to log to /dev/null
[20:03] <AcidRain> bekks, its 30gig
[20:03] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: that's exactly what i want, for the record, a purely text-based OS
[20:03] <bekks> AcidRain: Then you should investigate the reason.
[20:03] <mafoelffen> diphtherial Yes.
[20:04] <diphtherial> 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] <AcidRain> bekks, i just ant to make it stop logging all together
[20:04] <AcidRain> i cant even investigate cause its overloading my comp
[20:04] <diphtherial> (the host runs debian, amd64 architecture if that matters)
[20:04] <mr_chris> switchblade_: Of course. Share your screenshot.
[20:04] <ert3go> 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] <SonikkuAmerica> paperplane: You might have luck joining the #gcc channel / Tendrias suerte si junta Ud. con el canal de IRC #gcc
[20:04] <mr_chris> ert3go: What's up?
[20:04] <maetthew> 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] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: so, if i want a very minimal install, is it better to use the mini CD?
[20:05] <ert3go> I posted my problem mr_chris
[20:05] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: and as you said it'll install the server version? or rather, there's no essential difference between the two now?
[20:05] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: i appreciate the help, too :)
[20:06] <mafoelffen> 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] <AcidRain> NepgearGoddess, 60% how can i do that?
[20:06] <AcidRain> this window is about to lock up. and i cant use firefox cause of such insane disk activity
[20:06] <bekks> AcidRain: "tail -f filename"
[20:06] <bekks> AcidRain: And you can see whats going on in realtime.
[20:07] <NepgearGoddess> tailf is better, doesn't thrash the disk
[20:07] <mafoelffen> 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] <luckybunny> 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] <mafoelffen>  The mini downloads most everything.
[20:07] <bekks> If simple logging is trashing the disk, then the whole box has a totally different problem.
[20:08] <mafoelffen> Whereas the server install has alot of those server pkinds of packages on the IASO.
[20:08] <AcidRain> .xsession-errors -> /dev/null
[20:08] <mafoelffen> meant ISO
[20:08] <diphtherial> 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] <AcidRain> this didnt fix it. gnome2 just created a new .xsession-error file
[20:08] <bekks> AcidRain: Of course.
[20:08] <NepgearGoddess> AcidRain: You'd need to configure where it's logging to originally, not sure how though
[20:08] <diphtherial> any words of advice before i go ahead and virt-install this thing? :)
[20:09] <diphtherial> er, would 4GB be sufficient for a non-gui installation?
[20:09] <AcidRain> can anyone just tell me how to stop this logging so i can fix the issue?
[20:09] <bekks> diphtherial: Without a GUI, 512M is enough :)
[20:09] <mafoelffen> diphtherial The mini works great if someone has very minimal hardware or they want to customise their install.
[20:09] <bekks> AcidRain: You need to take a look at the log, to know whats to be fixed.
[20:09] <AcidRain> i cant even browse my disk :/
[20:09] <diphtherial> 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] <switchblade_> mr_chris - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbauman/8516962644/  i think i have some superfluous partitions
[20:10] <diphtherial> it'll be running inside of a virtual machine in any case; it's not the host OS here
[20:10] <bekks> AcidRain: Then, in first instance, stop ALL applications.
[20:10] <bekks> I am sorry for the caps. It will not happen again.
[20:10] <maetthew> 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] <mr_chris> ert3go: Can you please copy the output of "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to http://paste.ubuntu.com?
[20:11] <AcidRain> 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] <Bray90820> Anyone wanna help me with a script
[20:11] <mafoelffen> diphtherial Server iso will come up as minimal server install. What "kind" of package or service? (curious)
[20:11] <mr_chris> ert3go: Please send the output of "host google.com" too.
[20:11] <AcidRain> i cant see any log. but the disk is still filling
[20:11] <AcidRain> 80%
[20:12] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: it's an RPC server called opencpu that hosts R scripts and allows them to be remotely queried via http
[20:12] <bekks> 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] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: if you're curious, https://public.opencpu.org/pages/
[20:12] <Bray90820> what i am trying to to is enable/disable tablet mode on my netbook/tablet hybrid when i rotate the screen
[20:12] <AcidRain> 90%
[20:12] <diphtherial> a colleague of mine worked on it (jeroen, the guy mentioned at the bottom of the page)
[20:12] <mafoelffen> diphtherial Will look.
[20:12] <bekks> AcidRain: Please stop the progress indicator in this channel.
[20:12] <Bray90820> can anyone help me achieve that
[20:12] <ert3go> paste.ubuntu.com is not loading.Same with pastie.org
[20:12] <ert3go> mr_chris ^

[20:15] <Bray90820> Anyone here know about script writing
[20:15] <AndrzejL> guys what's the current kernel and kde version in ubuntu repositories? I am not ubuntu user so I thought I will pop in and ask rather then go googling about it.
[20:15] <AcidRain> bekks, Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks", this is the error for every application
[20:15] <diphtherial> mafoelffen: thanks :) that's pretty intense...considered investing in a rack for them all? :3
[20:15] <AcidRain> the entire log is flooded with this
[20:16] <holstein> !info kde
[20:16] <diphtherial> er, not that you could just stick them in a rack...
[20:16] <bekks> AcidRain: Then change the theme.
[20:16] <AndrzejL> try kdelibs
[20:16] <AndrzejL> or kdelibs4
[20:16] <Bray90820> i have instructions about writing a certain script and i wanna know if i am doing it correctly
[20:16] <diphtherial> i dream of getting a bunch of rackmount servers for my home, though; that'd be incredible
[20:16] <AndrzejL> !info kdelibs
[20:16] <brightkn1ght> What does this mean ignore time stamp file if it is set to epoch in plugins/sudoers/check.c.

[20:19] <AcidRain> if i point the errfile$ to exec >> /dev/null 2>&1 will this fix the error loggings?
[20:19] <holstein> AndrzejL: the link i gave states 3.5.4

[20:21] <switchblade_> hey y'all, which partitions can i delete?   http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbauman/8516962644/
[20:21] <harrisr> i need help asap
[20:22] <AcidRain> ERRFILE=$HOME/.xsession-errors <--- this is the line in question.
[20:22] <selena2013> harrisr explain issue
[20:22] <holstein> harrisr: relax.. open a terminal, run "sudo apt-get update" and report errors
[20:22] <AcidRain> if i set ERRFILE to exec >> /dev/null 2>&1 will this fix it?
[20:23] <bekks> AcidRain: No, since that will not stop the logging. It will onl change the location.
[20:23] <harrisr> there are no errors
[20:23] <moes> harrisr..You have been told pear linux is not supported in this channel
[20:23] <AcidRain> bekks, so there is no way at all to stop logging?
[20:23] <harrisr> it is ubuntu 12.04
[20:23] <bekks> AcidRain: I dont think so.
[20:23] <AcidRain> :/
[20:23] <AcidRain> bekks, are you being a jerk right now. or serious?
[20:23] <harrisr> on other computer same problem
[20:24]  * _goxxsy_ `veche drugari` ! :-) :D
[20:24] <holstein> harrisr: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade ubuntu from there
[20:24] <selena2013> harrisr which version of ubuntu you using ?
[20:24] <harrisr> 12.04
[20:24] <mafoelffen> harrisr I missed what your problem concerned
[20:24] <holstein> harrisr: in a terminal.. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[20:24] <selena2013> amd or intel 32 bits or 64 ?

[20:26] <bekks> AcidRain: And for investigating the issue, I'd just change the theme, as I already suggested.
[20:26] <switchblade_> holstein - do i need 2 swaps?
[20:27] <holstein> harrisr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/195950/package-system-broken-e-sub-process-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-an-error-code-1 is what i would follow
[20:27] <irctoerk> Is it possible to deactivate or activate the hdmi monitor output via bash?
[20:27] <holstein> switchblade_: you dont "need" any swap, but you might want it.. i would let the installer set up the partitioning for ubuntuautomatically if you are uncomfortable with it
[20:27] <moes> harrisr You said this was ubuntu yet your pastebin show pear linux
[20:27] <DJones> harrisr: The link you've just posted says that you're running Pear Linux 6, as you were told earlier, that isn;t supported in this channel
[20:28] <selena2013> omg

[20:52] <holstein> Bray90820: 15:42 < awktion_> but, #bash #awk #sed are all here

[20:53] <Peyam> holstein: Im in the recovery mode couse I cant open the terminal in usual case
[20:53] <Bray90820> #bash
[20:53] <Bray90820> oops
[20:54] <tgm4883> Peyam, can you boot in regular mode then do "ctrl+alt+F1"
[20:54] <Peyam> it says " cannot creat /etc/ati/fglrx-uninstall.log: Read-Only file system
[20:54] <Peyam> tgm4883: I try it now. wait
[20:54] <guntbert> Bray90820: type /join #channelOfYourChoice :-)
[20:54] <holstein> Peyam: " mount -o rw,remount / " as stated at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870817 though i would be careful in there
[20:55] <Bray90820> i know
[20:55] <Bray90820> i just had a mistake
[20:55] <introzen> Does anyone here have knowledge in emulating .cmd files through wine? Please MSG ME!
[20:55] <ClientAlive> I found this thing for being able to watch netflix, red box, and lovefilms on ubuntu. It runs via win and with microsoft silverlight  <-  my question is whether installing/ using this opens up a security risk??
[20:55] <guntbert> Bray90820: no worries :)
[20:55] <ClientAlive> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/watch-lovefilm-and-redbox-videos-in.html
[20:55] <Peyam> tgm4883:  yes I can . it works with ctrl+alt+f1
[20:55] <guntbert> !repeat | introzen
[20:55] <ClientAlive> is the url
[20:56] <ikonia> ClientAlive: it depends on wine, so it's something I'd advise you not to do
[20:56] <tgm4883> Peyam, so it shouldn't be read-only anymore and you can follow that guide
[20:56] <guntbert> !pm | introzen and
[20:56] <holstein> introzen: i would try the #winehq channel
[20:56] <AcidRain> find /home/*/.xsession-errors -type f -size +10k -exec "" > -f
[20:56] <introzen> Thank you
[20:56] <Peyam> okej
[20:56] <AcidRain> will this work?
[20:56] <ClientAlive> ikonia: ok. thx
[20:57] <Peyam> tgm4883: it tells me that my password is wrong
[20:57] <ikonia> AcidRain: what devil is that meant to do ?
[20:57] <tgm4883> Peyam, I can't help you there. You'll need the correct password, or to reset it
[20:58] <AcidRain> ikonia, im trying to make the file size of xsession-errors 0, when its over 10k, ill add this directly to the xsession bash file
[20:58] <Peyam> tgm4883: I have my password it just keep saying login incorrect
[20:58] <ikonia> AcidRain: that won't work
[20:58] <tgm4883> Peyam, is your username correct?
[20:58] <bekks> Peyam: You have a read only filesystem, you said. You should check that first.
[20:58] <AcidRain> ikonia, how do i write to the file that was found?
[20:59] <tgm4883> bekks, he doesn't anymore
[20:59] <holstein> Peyam: you use the recovery console.. you use the guide/command i linked for making the filesystem read/write.. you can reset passwords there too
[20:59] <AcidRain> i DONT want to delete it
[20:59] <Peyam> tgm4883: now it work. the calculator part of my keyboard wasn't on
[20:59] <bekks> tgm4883: Ah, ok.
[20:59] <ikonia> AcidRain: why do you want to keep your .xsession file bellow 10k
[20:59] <Markus____> could anyone help me what I have to write in the htaccess, when I want to use php4?
[20:59] <AcidRain> id rather it be under 10k than over 100GIG
[20:59] <ikonia> AcidRain: it won't be 100gb
[21:00] <ikonia> AcidRain: what are you trying to fix
[21:00] <AcidRain> ikonia, .... im trying to stop it from filling my disk to 100% again
[21:00] <diphtherial> i realize this is a long shot, but are any of you familiar with virsh?
[21:00] <ikonia> AcidRain: your .xsession file is filling your disk
[21:00] <ikonia> AcidRain: how big was it ?
[21:01] <AcidRain> it was all my files + xsession = 100%
[21:01] <ikonia> AcidRain: ok, so xsession isn't going to be your problem
[21:01] <ikonia> AcidRain: I believe you're fixing a problem that doesn't really exist
[21:02] <AcidRain> ikonia, it is an issue. because ubuntulooks doesnt exist of my computer. and that is the error
[21:02] <AcidRain> and i dont know how to stop it from logging. so might as well limit its size
[21:03] <ikonia> AcidRain: lets step back
[21:03] <ikonia> AcidRain: how big is your .xsession file growing to ?
[21:03] <ikonia> (on average)
[21:03] <AcidRain> ikonia, on average if completely fills the drive. this could be anywhere from 60gig to 70gig
[21:03] <ikonia> AcidRain: your .xsession file should be static
[21:03] <AcidRain> if my drive was bigger, it would grow more
[21:04] <ikonia> it's a static file
[21:04] <AcidRain> (gnome-terminal:10890): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks",
[21:04] <ikonia> AcidRain: that should be in the xsession-errors
[21:04] <AcidRain> here is the last error. i dont have ubuntulooks. ubuntulooks is not int he repo
[21:04] <ikonia> AcidRain: ubuntulooks is a theme
[21:04] <AcidRain> ikonia, right. sry
[21:04] <AcidRain> ikonia, im confident that ubuntulooks is not installed on my computer
[21:05] <ikonia> AcidRain: of course it's not, thats the problem
[21:05] <ikonia> AcidRain: your theme wants to use it....but it's not there
[21:05] <AcidRain> ikonia, i cannot install it.
[21:05] <ikonia> AcidRain: as a test try going to the default ubuntu theme
[21:05] <ikonia> see if it still logs those errors
[21:05] <AcidRain> what is the default theme? i havent used it in 3yrs
[21:06] <ikonia> AcidRain: I'm sure someone with a clean install can confirm the default theme name, I don't have it here
[21:06] <ikonia> AcidRain: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=43255
[21:06] <ikonia> AcidRain: that is the gtk theme it wants
[21:09] <AcidRain> ikonia, it appears to have stopped. let me try and install this theme u linked me to
[21:09] <Penguin_> Has anyone seen COLORS on here lately?
[21:10] <Peyam> holstein: how do I come back from ctrl+alt+f1 to the original state?
[21:10] <holstein> !tty | Peyam
[21:11] <linguini> My mom, trying to follow steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne#Setting_up_printers_to_use_HPLIP asks: "Where do i find the 'system' to go to admisistration?  it is not set up like the old ubuntu"
[21:11] <AcidRain> ikonia, just so we are sure. i download. extract. and copy to .themes in home folder?
[21:12] <Bray90820> so the people in bash said it wasn't a question i should be asking there
[21:12] <ikonia> AcidRain: read the install instructions, I've not
[21:12] <AcidRain> it didnt come with any?
[21:12] <ikonia> AcidRain: read the web page
[21:12]  * tgm4883 wonders what Bray90820 is trying to do
[21:12] <ikonia> AcidRain: it says it did
[21:13] <Peyam> holstein: it stops at "battery state" And I have a desktop
[21:13] <holstein> Peyam: it?
[21:13] <Bray90820> tgm4883 i added setkeycodes                 e073 148 & setkeycodes e074 149 exit 0
[21:13] <Bray90820> to /etc/rc.local
[21:13] <Peyam> holstein: the ctrl+alt+f7
[21:14] <Bray90820> so tablet mode would be enabled when i rotated my netbook screen
[21:14] <holstein> Peyam: i thought you were in the recovery console... sudo reboot
[21:14] <Bray90820> but i want to add a comand to turn on/off the onscreen keyboard when i rotate it as well
[21:14] <Bray90820> apperently what it does is send a keystroke every time i rotate the screen
[21:15] <Peyam> holstein: it come back to the ctrl+alt+f1 state
[21:16] <holstein> Peyam: it?
[21:16] <Peyam> holstein: my computer
[21:16] <Bray90820> tgm4883 sorry this is what i added
[21:16] <Bray90820> setkeycodes                 e073 148 & setkeycodes e074 149 exit 0
[21:16] <Bray90820> no
[21:16] <Bray90820> it's wrong again
[21:16] <Bray90820> setkeycodes e073 148 & setkeycodes e074 149 exit 0
[21:16] <Bray90820> there that's teh correct one
[21:17] <holstein> Bray90820: maybe try running something and get an error to troubleshoot
[21:17] <Bray90820> holstein i don't need to troubleshoot
[21:17] <Bray90820> i just need to know what to add
[21:17] <Peyam> holstein: when I rebooted my system it went again to the ctrl+alt+f1 state.. and I can't see my desktop
[21:18] <holstein> Peyam: what error from "startx" ?
[21:18] <Bray90820> everything i have done so far has worked so far i just don't know where to go from here
[21:18] <AcidRain> (gnome-screensaver:2305): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libubuntulooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[21:18] <AcidRain> this is the new error
[21:18] <Peyam> holstein: what is startx?
[21:19] <holstein> Peyam: its a command, that you type in, and then hit the enter key, and share errors
[21:19] <escott> AcidRain, you need the 64bit version
[21:19] <AcidRain> escott, im on a 32bit os...
[21:19] <Peyam> ohhh holstein  big errors. no screens found (EE) please consult the x.org foundation support....
[21:20] <escott> then that is strange
[21:20] <holstein> !ati | Peyam and you have installed the proprietary driver suggested here ?
[21:21] <Peyam> holstein: I followed this http://www.itworld.com/software/306225/install-amd-catalyst-1210-driver-ubuntu-1210
[21:22] <holstein> Peyam: let me know how it goes when you follow the guide i linked..
[21:22] <Styler2go> Hello
[21:23] <Peyam> holstein: I dont get anything of the
[21:23] <holstein> Peyam: ?
[21:23] <Peyam> holstein: I dont get it..
[21:25] <holstein> Peyam: no problem, just start at the beginning, and read it, all of it, and ask for help here with the parts you dont understand, and hopefully a volunteer can help
[21:26] <Peyam> holstein: http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.se/2012/10/solved-amd-catalyst-and-ubuntu-1210.html this one is easier
[21:27] <holstein> Peyam: that one is not supported here, so you can email the creator of that page and ask for support
[21:27] <holstein> Peyam: the open driver is not working for you?
[21:28] <holstein> Peyam: if you have added any PPA's, you might want to purge them, and start fresh
[21:28] <cloneG> hello
[21:28] <cloneG> I am having a weird problem...
[21:28] <cloneG> I was using an account protected with password
[21:28] <cloneG> that is I need to type the password in order to login
[21:29] <cloneG> but I got tired of that and removed password from user accounts...
[21:29] <cloneG> the problem is that now I cannot access sudo via terminal
[21:30] <cloneG> anyone knows why and how do I fix it?
[21:30] <TheGrey> o/
[21:30] <holstein> cloneG: i would leave a user as admin, or sudo, and add other limited users with no passwords if you must
[21:31] <Peyam> holstein: my system went to hell by this
[21:31] <holstein> Peyam: this?
[21:31] <cloneG> holstein : that is to say, to access sudo you must have an account protected with password isnt it?
[21:31] <Peyam> the link I sended you holstein
[21:32] <holstein> cloneG: i would want that. sudo access password protected.
[21:32] <TheGrey> my soundcard (M audio 2496) is all of a sudden not recognised by aplay -l, or by its mixer (envy24control). Lspci shows it's ID though. Do I need to turn of the onboard soundcard in the BIOS? But at the moment my Nvidia HDMI is the default card! Thanks..
[21:32] <holstein> Peyam: that link adds a PPA.
[21:32] <marahin> Hum.. How can I check input/output on Ubu12.10?
[21:32] <marahin> apt-cache search iostat gives nothing (even after apt-get update)
[21:32] <holstein> TheGrey: was it an upgrade that "broke" it?
[21:32] <holstein> !info iostat
[21:33] <Peyam> holstein: im a newbie
[21:33] <cloneG> holstein: thanks
[21:33] <marahin> holstein, mokay.
[21:33] <linguini> I'm sure this is a frequently asked question.  How can I get some interface other than Unity?
[21:34] <TheGrey> holstein: even if it was, I've checked my edited ICE1712 alsa conf files and all the other workaround scripts and they're all fine.
[21:34] <holstein> linguini: just install what you like
[21:34] <linguini> holstein: What does that mean?
[21:34] <holstein> linguini: sudo apt-get install xfce4 for example
[21:34] <holstein> linguini: it means, you just literally search and install whatever other one you want
[21:36] <holstein> linguini: the comman i gave will install XFCE and you can choose it when you login instead of unity
[21:36] <holstein> TheGrey: the kernel or alsa support could have been effected by an upgrade
[21:37] <Peyam> holstein: I have two monitors connected to my graphic card. How do I know that xubuntu uses my graphiccard when Im playing?
[21:38] <holstein> Peyam: playing? i would expect the monitors will be working.. i use arandr wth XFCE to setup dual head
[21:38] <holstein> Peyam: sometimes i find i need the proprietary graphics drivers.. but you should be able to test for that from a live CD with no trouble
[21:38] <Peyam> holstein: no no My question is : Does xubuntu uses my integrated graphic from cpu or graphic card?
[21:39] <holstein> Peyam: "it" uses which ever you want it to use and configure it to use, assuming both are supported...
[21:40] <Peyam> holstein: xubuntu doesnt have any 'additional drivers' option
[21:40] <ert3go> Thanks to mr_chris for being a patient listener and helping me solve my doubts!
[21:40] <mr_chris> ert3go :)
[21:40] <Peyam> holstein: as long as I dont have the appropriate driver xubuntu will not use the hardware.. right?
[21:41] <holstein> Peyam: xubuntu *is* ubuntu. you can follow the guide i linked to install what you need
[21:42] <holstein> Peyam: i would just try the hardware from a live CD and see if it works using arandr
[21:42] <Peyam> holstein: it works.. I have both monitors connected to the graphic card. but I dont know if it really use the graphic cards in games
[21:43] <Peyam> holstein: I mean I dont have the AMD driver install but I still can connect the monitor into the graphic card. it is strange
[21:43] <holstein> Peyam: i would just play games.. if you have no issues, not make any
[21:43] <holstein> Peyam: the open driver might work just fine for you
[21:44] <Peyam> hmm you are right. Thank you so much! and have a great night :) tgm4883 thanks to you as well. :)
[21:45] <diphtherial> hello; anyone happen to know how to run the mini ISO installer in text mode?
[21:45] <diphtherial> i thought it ran that way by default, but perhaps not
[21:46] <holstein> diphtherial: i just fire it up and follow the prompts
[21:46] <diphtherial> holstein: i'm trying to install ubuntu server as a guest OS using libvirt and i'm guessing that something's wrong with the console config...
[21:47] <diphtherial> when i attempt to connect to it, i don't see anything, but this is kind of a chicken and egg problem as i can't fix the console unless i can connect to it :|
[21:47] <diphtherial> anyhoo, i think i found the --extra-args option that i'm supposed to add to virt-install to configure the console properly; hopefully that'll work
[21:47] <holstein> diphtherial: let us know
[21:48] <diphtherial> holstein: thanks, will do
[21:48] <AcidRain> where do i get a 64bit ubuntulooks theme?
[21:48] <AcidRain> :/
[21:49] <dsprc> how do i search for multiple pkg tags? i.e. all pkgs tagged for ncurses and are also for monitoring etc?
[21:49] <holstein> diphtherial: i do apt-cachce search curses
[21:49] <holstein> diphtherial: sorry... dsprc ^^
[21:50] <holstein> apt-cache search **
[21:51] <dsprc> holstein: then i have to trudge through a huge list. i just wanna search for things tagged _only_ with ncurses _and_ monitoring or games _and_ X11 etc
[21:52] <holstein> dsprc: i might just use synaptic then.. i think the search tool can be dialed in pretty specifically
[21:52] <dsprc> holstein: i have not an Xserver running. can use aptitude but not a clue how to such for multiple tages at once.
[21:53] <dsprc> s/such/search
[21:54] <ahoneybun> dsprc, I don't think aptitude has that feature
[21:55] <cagrijost> hello guys, i accidentally installed win8 on a mbr setting, and it screwed up my partition table. can anyone help me?
[21:55] <dsprc> ahoneybun: i know it has that feature. it is one of the underpinnings of the pkg management system. just dont know _how_
[21:55] <holstein> !grub | cagrijost its probably just grub you need to recover
[21:56] <cagrijost> nono, i never installed ubuntu, but i intended to.
[21:57] <cagrijost> the thing is, ubuntu couldnt see my partitions because of the MBR format, for some reason. now im trying to install win8 again, but i cant merge the unallocated disks into one, and format it to GPT
[21:57] <holstein> i would just clean it and start over
[21:57] <nafeldo> who can help me about toor?i need to config "toor"
[21:57] <mcrawfor> so, in quantal, there's no ripping profile settings. *and* the default mp3 rips at 32kb.
[21:57] <mcrawfor> 'the hell, man.
[21:57] <bekks> cagrijost: The MBR format is definitely not a reason for Ubuntu not seeing your partitions.
[21:57] <cagrijost> thats what im trying to do. i did clean it. and im at the windows install screen(on another laptop)
[21:58] <nafeldo> Nobody can help me about "tor"?
[21:58] <cagrijost> bekks: people said it was because of that before though. anyway. its a 3tb hdd, and i was gonna switch to gpt anyway
[21:59] <surgeagainsthema> Is Ubuntu as user-friendly as Windows? I am not a tech-head and I've found Linux to be difficult
[21:59] <tix> surgeagainstthema: lawl!
[21:59] <holstein> surgeagainsthema: try it live, first hand.. otherwise, everything else is just a matter of opinion
[21:59] <holstein> surgeagainsthema: i find windows to be challenging.. but its more what im used to really than what is "better" or "easier"
[22:00] <dsprc> nafeldo: try #tor on irc.oftc.net
[22:00] <StephenS> tor is full of illegal things
[22:01] <surgeagainsthema> I have a awful o/s (I can't even download Ubuntu to try without it hanging on me)
[22:01] <clb> I have a command that I'd like to run every time the system starts up. Where should I register that?
[22:01] <dsprc> StephenS: right. damn those repressive regims and their anti-free speech policies!
[22:01] <cagrijost> anyone?
[22:01] <holstein> surgeagainsthema: every OS can be "broken" or "misconfigured"
[22:02] <holstein> cagrijost: i would just blow it all out and start over..
[22:02] <surgeagainsthema> holstein: Yeah, if only I knew how to fix it or reconfigure
[22:02] <dsprc> holstein: some of them come that way be default, however :)
[22:02] <cagrijost> holstein: im trying to do that...
[22:03] <holstein> cagrijost: go for it... maybe ask in a windows support channel for help with the windows setup
[22:03] <cagrijost> know anyone?
[22:03] <holstein> cagrijost: know what? why you cant see a partition made from a windows installer from the ubuntu installer?
[22:04] <bekks> cagrijost: How do you look for it...?
[22:04] <selena2013> ubuntu is easier than windows by now
[22:04] <cagrijost> when i tried to install ubuntu, it showed an empty 3tb partition
[22:05] <bekks> cagrijost: Ws the disk empty?
[22:05] <holstein> cagrijost: it? the ubuntu installer? gparted? what were you expecting to see?
[22:05] <cagrijost> even though i had win8 in mbr format (2,2 tb drive and an unallocated 800gb drive)
[22:05] <bekks> cagrijost: Ubuntu works fine using MBR.
[22:05] <holstein> cagrijost: an unallocated 800bg partition?
[22:06] <cagrijost> bekks: is there any other reason it doesnt show?
[22:06] <bekks> cagrijost: Most likely, you are using GPT already.
[22:06] <surgeagainsthema> Selena2013: Do you have the live cd? I can't even download to try Ubuntu
[22:06] <cagrijost> bekks: no im not, i accidentally initialized it as mbr when i first installed win8. know anyway i can revert that?
[22:06] <SonikkuAmintica> surgeagainsthema: You can't get it at http://ubottu.com/y/dl?
[22:06] <holstein> surgeagainsthema: be sure to come back when you are ready... try the offtopic channel for chat.. cheers!
[22:07] <bekks> cagrijost: There is no such way. And again: MBR is not the problem.
[22:07] <bekks> cagrijost: All you could do is reinstalling Win8.
[22:07] <linguini> holstein: Thanks; I'll give that a go.
[22:07] <holstein> install linux first, then windows.. then grub, if you want
[22:08] <SonikkuAmintica> holstein: What.
[22:08] <cagrijost> bekks: okay, do you know how to merge the unallocalted disks into one bit hdd?
[22:08] <bekks> cagrijost: By just using gparted.
[22:08] <cagrijost> so i need to install ubuntu first?
[22:09] <bekks> cagrijost: No.
[22:09] <holstein> SonikkuAmintica: when you are ready to download and try it, or install it, let us know, otherwise, we need to take chat to the OT channel
[22:09] <holstein> cagrijost: youy dont need to, but you can if you prefer and find it easier
[22:09] <michealPW> Ugh.. Can't get it to work. LOL I give, I'll wait for 13.04 or whatever :/
[22:10] <SunMoonStar> Does anyone else have the issue where LibreOffice opens and can open documents, but when you choose any options that would open a dialog box, it does nothing. For example, if you go to Conditional Formatting, it does not open the Conditional formatting dialog box (nothing happens)
[22:10] <SonikkuAmintica> holstein: Oh. (Never saw the context)
[22:10] <you-tee-f> hello, does one know about a good regexp plugin for gedit3 ?
[22:11] <holstein> SunMoonStar: i can try and replicate.. i am on 12.04 32bit.. whats the issue? open "conditional formatting"?
[22:11] <SunMoonStar> holstein: actually it is working now. It's wierd, on and off issue
[22:11] <SunMoonStar> holstein: but yes
[22:13] <holstein> SunMoonStar: where is that option?
[22:13] <SunMoonStar> Format menu
[22:13] <holstein> SunMoonStar: dont see it in LibreOffice 3.5.7.2
[22:14] <SunMoonStar> holstein: oh ok i have 3.6.2.2
[22:14] <holstein> SunMoonStar: in 12.10?
[22:14] <SunMoonStar> holstein: it's probably some hard to replicate bug, seeing how reopening the program made it work
[22:14] <SunMoonStar> holstein: correct
[22:15] <holstein> SunMoonStar: i could install that and replicate/test if needed...
[22:15] <SunMoonStar> holstein: it's not necessary thanks anyways :)
[22:15] <holstein> SunMoonStar: well, in the future.. if you get a bug report going, and need some help, let us know
[22:16] <SunMoonStar> okay
[22:16] <brightknight> What is setting the time to epoch?
[22:19] <dsprc> brightknight: setting something to UNIX time
[22:23] <harrisr> Hey guys my laptop is making a crackle noise how do I stop it
[22:24] <diphtherial> try to figure out where it's coming from, first
[22:24] <StephenS> smoke weed
[22:24] <cagrijost> can anyone do some linux advertising for me, im thinking bout shifting to linux as a main os
[22:24] <StephenS> and you wont feel it harrisr
[22:24] <harrisr> Well
[22:24] <cagrijost> harrisr: its your fan
[22:24] <StephenS> cagrijost, don't switch if you dont want BYE
[22:25] <diphtherial> well, it could be some other mechanical device, like the hard disk
[22:25] <diphtherial> or it could be coming from the speakers
[22:25] <harrisr> No I remeber fixing it before but I cant remember what is was it was something eith power saving
[22:25] <cagrijost> stephens: the thing is i kind of want to, but i want to know the good parts
[22:25] <harrisr> And I had to type a terminal code
[22:25] <apwbdjp> cagrijost, start by switching to it as a secondary OS, if you like it, that's all the advertising you need
[22:25] <StephenS> good part is you can read system source
[22:25] <StephenS> NEXT subject
[22:27] <diphtherial> hey, so the mini CD installs using a text-based installer by default, correct?
[22:27] <diphtherial> anyone had much luck installing it into a vm? i'm still kind of a newbie with the whole libvirt/virsh thing
[22:28] <diphtherial> (the host OS is debian, guest OS is intended to be ubuntu server, fwiw)
[22:28] <diphtherial> (and i can't use GUI tools at any step in this process; it's all CLI)
[22:30] <diphtherial> in virsh, ttyconsole <id> reports /dev/pts/4, so i assume there's a tty device
[22:30] <diphtherial> console <id> just gives me an empty console with no prompt :\
[22:30] <diphtherial> i'd specify --extra-args, but you apparently can't do that from a --cdrom install? :\
[22:31] <rribeiro> Hello to all! After the last updates my sound breaks on inspiron 1525, I'm with the version 12.10, any clue on how to solve it?
[22:31] <eduardo> Guys, help me please! My download rate is too slow! More neither is the internet, because in the Ubuntu Software Center it over the normal low rate falls Navigator 150 KB / s to 12 KB / s!
[22:32] <eduardo> I'm from Brazil and not speak English very good!
[22:32] <dwatkins> are you using a mirror in Brazil, eduardo?
[22:32] <eduardo> yes
[22:33] <dwatkins> 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] <harrisr> Well
[22:34] <eduardo> My internet not is shared!
[22:35] <rribeiro> 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] <eduardo> Sorry by the English, i'm from Brazil and not speak English very good!
[22:35] <dsprc> eduardo: maybe the mirror is just under heavy load or have broken configs
[22:35] <dsprc> !br | eduardo
[22:35] <eduardo> no
[22:36] <eduardo> I've tested it on several servers and all are slow!
[22:36] <harrisr> He wants to learn english
[22:37] <SonikkuAmerica> eduardo: If you know Spanish (it's close to Portuguese) you can try #ubuntu-es
[22:38] <harrisr> SonikkuAmerica I need help
[22:38] <bekks> SonikkuAmerica: It isnt clos to portuguese, in fact. :)
[22:38] <bekks> harrisr: Do you use Ubuntu meanwhile?
[22:38] <SonikkuAmerica> bekks: It is a Romantic language... I think it's closer to Italian?
[22:38] <harrisr> Wait guys is there a website that I can use for irc
[22:39] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: http://webchat.freenode.net
[22:39] <SonikkuAmerica> harrisr: Same problem as before?
[22:41] <rribeiro> 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
[22:43] <rribeiro> Does anyone can help me with a sound card problem that I'm with?
[22:45] <harrisr> 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] <phunyguy> so am I missing something? I am looking for the "alternate" install media download... I can't find it.  please help...
[22:46] <phunyguy> 12.10
[22:48] <harrisr> well anyone
[22:49] <harrisr> ui need help ASAP
[22:49] <rap424> 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] <rap424> does anyone know why this is happening?
[22:50] <rap424> the exact commands I am using "create user 'user'@'%' identified by 'password'; grant all on *.* to 'user';
[22:51] <harrisr> who was helping me before
[22:54] <diphtherial> anyone happen to know how to install ubuntu server using a text-based installer?
[22:54] <diphtherial> 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] <diphtherial> i have a feeling thati 'm not going to figure this out :\
[22:55] <mcrawfor> the alternative install page has ISO for text-only and net installation
[22:56] <Bray90820> to add a comnd to a bash script would you add the terminal command
[22:58] <brkc> Bray90820, could you rephrase that?
[22:58] <Bray90820> would i add the terminal comand to a bash scrip to enable the action
[22:59] <rap424> Bray90820: you can add any terminal command to a bash script and it will run that command when executing the script
[22:59] <brkc> The lines within a bash script do the same thing as if you were typing them on the command line.
[22:59] <Bray90820> rap424 thank you
[23:00] <Bray90820> that's all i needed to know
[23:00] <vandemar> 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] <benlu> fingerscrolling on right side of touchpad don't work suddently. What can I do? Under settings no chance effected...
[23:03] <benlu> I have Ubuntu 12.04
[23:04] <Bray90820> rap424 would i just add it to the bottom of the file or what
[23:04] <Bray90820> can i just add the terminal command to the bottom of the file
[23:05] <holstein> Bray90820: try it... you can script a command
[23:05] <rap424> 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] <rap424> anything after that can be commandline commands
[23:05] <diogo_79> hi
[23:05] <diogo_79> guys
[23:05] <Bray90820> yes
[23:05] <smilingcake> 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] <rap424> is anyone else having trouble creating user accounts in mysql?
[23:06] <Bray90820> but lets say i had a script with 4 commands and i wanted to add a command to remove a file
[23:06] <Bray90820> could i just add something like...
[23:06] <vandemar> nvm I found the answer about encryption
[23:06] <Bray90820> r. etc/fgh/nine.txt
[23:06] <Bray90820> and have it remove that file
[23:06] <Bray90820> rm etc/fgh/nine.txt
[23:06] <rap424> Bray90820: in scripts each command is run sequentially, one after the other
[23:06] <rap424> yes that will work
[23:07] <diogo_79> 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] <Bray90820> rap424 i know that but im wondering the actual layout of the file
[23:07] <Bray90820> do i just list the commands 1 after another
[23:07] <rap424> Bray90820: yes that will work
[23:07] <brkc> Each command has to be on a separate line.
[23:07] <Bray90820> ok
[23:08] <Bray90820> then all is good
[23:08] <Bray90820> now my next question
[23:08] <Bray90820> is there a command to do custom actions in firefox
[23:09] <brkc> Probably not, but it depends on what "custom action" you want to do.
[23:09] <rap424> Bray90820: I do not know the answer to that, but I would say there aren't any BASH commands that do that.
[23:09] <Bray90820> there is a plugin in firefox that i wanted to enable/disable when i execute my script
[23:10] <brkc> Do you want to keep other extensions enabled?
[23:10] <Bray90820> yea
[23:10] <Bray90820> i just wanted to turn off my touch scrolling
[23:11] <brkc> You can create profiles within firefox that have different settings.
[23:11] <brkc> Alt+F2, then type "firefox -ProfileManager"
[23:11] <Bray90820> could i have it switch profiles with a terminal command
[23:12] <brkc> Yes, you can launch a profile with a certain name with 'firefox -P "myprofile"'
[23:13] <Bray90820> thank you
[23:13] <Bray90820> that will work until i find a better solution
[23:13] <brkc> No problem.
[23:15] <blackwc> 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] <blackwc> 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] <Racha> 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] <Racha> tips*?
[23:16] <MarconM> good night
[23:18] <brkc> Racha, just delete that partition within Windows and let the installer see the free space.
[23:18] <box1> 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
[23:18] <Guest37359> oh wait these are connected chats.
[23:18] <Guest37359> never mind
[23:18] <Racha> brkc, i did try that but then i cant create it with installer. It shows as unusable
[23:19] <Bray90820> is there a touch friendly twitter/facebook client
[23:19] <fetzbeast> ö
[23:19] <fetzbeast> l
[23:19] <brkc> Hmm, are you sure there are only four partitions rather than five?
[23:19] <brkc> You can only have four primary partitions.
[23:19] <Racha> Might be 1 more as Windows gets 100MB one just for fun
[23:20] <brkc> You'll have to find some way to free one up then.
[23:20] <DarkHalo> #winehq
[23:20] <Racha> Would like to but, no way i have a lot of stuff on each of them.
[23:21] <Satiro> Hi
[23:21] <tgm4883> Racha, the 100MB one is for recovery and bitlocker, and isn't mandatory (although it thinks it should be)
[23:22] <Racha> How can i change my "Files" Partition to be idk ... secundary ?
[23:24] <harrisr> hey guys how do i change icon theme
[23:24] <tgm4883> 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] <Racha> Or just getting another SDD/HDD :)
[23:25] <Racha> SSD*
[23:25] <tgm4883> or format the drive with GPT rather than MBR
[23:25] <tgm4883> then you aren't limited by the 4 primary partitions
[23:26] <Racha> to late for that i guess as i dont have any storage to backup my files
[23:26] <tgm4883> Racha, new hard drive it is then
[23:28] <Racha> 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] <Racha> Whats the prons and cons of WUBI ?
[23:29] <Racha> pros*
[23:29] <harrisr> tgm4883, how do i change the icon theme
[23:30] <tgm4883> harrisr, wave a magic wand?
[23:30] <blackwc> 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] <escott> Racha, there are pros?
[23:31] <blackwc> which btw is what I did.. I uninstalled easily with wubi and installed it without it
[23:31] <blackwc> additionally, with wubi you use the windows boot manager which doesn't give as many options as grub
[23:31] <blackwc> by default, anyway
[23:32] <DarkHalo> having a lot of problems with flash player when i upgraded to 12.10, is lightspark a decent alternative?
[23:32] <blackwc> 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] <DarkHalo> that's unfortunate
[23:33] <blackwc> yup
[23:33] <harrisr> escott,  how do you change icon theme
[23:34] <DarkHalo> do you think they will support flash 10+ soon?
[23:34] <tgm4883> harrisr, have you tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/136473/how-do-i-change-the-icon-theme-in-ubuntu
[23:34] <DarkHalo> or would chromium be a better alternative to firefox?
[23:35] <npf> 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] <brkc> DarkHalo, Adobe Flash is bundled with Google Chrome.
[23:36] <tgm4883> npf, are you the dbrom user?
[23:36] <DarkHalo> so that might be what i will do
[23:36] <npf> yes
[23:36] <brkc> You will have to download the deb from their site.
[23:36] <escott> npf, probably Videos
[23:36] <ikonia> npf: ls -la /home/dbrom/Video
[23:36] <ikonia> npf: (use a pastebin if it's long)
[23:36] <brkc> I assume it's a different version from the one in the repositories.
[23:37] <npf> B****  your right ...what a rooky mistake
[23:37] <ikonia> npf: please don't use star'ed out words
[23:37] <ikonia> npf: we know what they mean
[23:38] <npf> now t just goes to the same directory...
[23:39] <npf> im doing a cd ~/Videos and its just going to the same directory
[23:39] <escott> npf, yes
[23:40] <tgm4883> npf, what are you trying to accomplish
[23:40] <xibalba> how can i get a PGP key?
[23:40] <smcguinness> does anyone have any experience generating .pem files for SSL, specifically for use with HAProxy?
[23:40] <escott> !info gpg | xibalba
[23:40] <npf> shouldnt it go to /home/user/Videos
[23:40] <xibalba> !info php
[23:40] <escott> npf, ~ is $HOME
[23:40] <xibalba> !info pgp
[23:40] <escott> !info gnupg | xibalba
[23:41] <xibalba> do i need to go to a site to get a key?
[23:41] <Tellmarch> Hello. Is it safe to install the nvidia driver on a laptop with dual intel/nvidia graphics?
[23:42] <benlu> how can I restart the touchpad program? my touchpad don't work fully after I started X programs via ssh -X
[23:42] <brkc> Tellmarch, what you want is Bumblebee.
[23:42] <SunMoonStar> Is there a way to redirect a result to kill ring?
[23:42] <npf> 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] <Tellmarch> brkc, ok, thx, i'll look into it
[23:42] <escott> !info xclipboard | SunMoonStar
[23:43] <escott> npf, it does
[23:43] <SteevB> 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] <SunMoonStar> so man xclipboard then? thanks
[23:43] <DarkHalo> would i have to change ownership of flash in order to have it access my webcam?
[23:44] <escott> !find | SunMoonStar yes xclipboard is the tool you want
[23:44] <escott> !find xclipboard | SunMoonStar yes xclipboard is the tool you want
[23:44] <SunMoonStar> escott: does that use the same kill ring/clipboard as when you select text ?
[23:44] <SunMoonStar> manually
[23:45] <escott> SunMoonStar, there are two clipboards in Unix. you can access wither through xclipboard
[23:46] <SunMoonStar> escott: oh
[23:46] <DarkHalo> do i have to give flash special permissions in order for it to access my webcam?
[23:46] <escott> SunMoonStar, one is what you are calling the kill ring although i thought that was more of an emacs terminology
[23:46] <SunMoonStar> escott: didn't realize there were 2
[23:46] <escott> DarkHalo, you shouldnt
[23:46] <SunMoonStar> escott: I picked up the term in emacs docs so maybe
[23:47] <SunMoonStar> escott: the word ring specifically
[23:47] <SunMoonStar> escott: since I don't know that there is the option to go to previous kills in the terminal
[23:48] <escott> 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] <SunMoonStar> escott: is xclip the same as xclipboard that we just discussed
[23:49] <escott> SunMoonStar, no different program
[23:49] <jch2os> 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] <jch2os> I try running apt-get install -f and that doesn't fix it
[23:50] <escott> SunMoonStar, xclipboard is for inserting/removing from the clipboard at the terminal, xclip is for managing the clipboard
[23:50] <jch2os> I downloaded the dpkg for 3.2.0.36.43, and that still doesn't fix it
[23:51] <cagrijost> hey guys, whats the biggest diferrence between ubuntu and other distros?
[23:51] <SunMoonStar> escott: thanks
[23:51] <SunMoonStar> going afk
[23:51] <jch2os> it is failing on installing linux-server
[23:51] <MeanderingCode> anyone else unable to connect to openvpn servers since updating libgnutls26 (yesterday)?
[23:51] <escott> cagrijost, depends on what the "other distro" is
[23:52] <cagrijost> distros* :b
[23:52] <cagrijost> like, mint etc.
[23:52] <dsprc> jch2os: try with aptitude instead of apt-get. it is more sane in conflict resolution
[23:52] <autojack> wtf is up with http://packages.ubuntu.org?
[23:52] <autojack> oh.
[23:52] <autojack> *wap*
[23:52] <brkc> cagrijost, if I had to narrow it down to one, commercialism.
[23:53] <cagrijost> ?
[23:53] <tgm4883> autojack, I'm guessing you just figured out it's .com
[23:53] <autojack> yeah.
[23:53] <autojack> frikkin domain squatters.
[23:53] <dsprc> cagrijost: most other distros dont include keyloggers by default either
[23:54] <MeanderingCode> dsprc: keylogger?
[23:54] <tgm4883> omfg
[23:54] <MeanderingCode> are you referring to the amazon lens search?
[23:54] <cagrijost> lol?
[23:54] <brkc> Ubuntu has Ubuntu One and when you search your files, it returns Amazon results (but you can disable that).
[23:54] <MeanderingCode> no one having openvpn issues as of yesterday?
[23:55] <cagrijost> is that a keylogger?
[23:56] <jch2os> dsprc - ok i will try that
[23:56] <X-warrior> I was thinking about why ubuntu changed the windows buttons position. Is there any old discussion about this? Maybe some usability test?
[23:56] <MeanderingCode> cagrijost: not really, though there is the fact that it is logging searches you make that you suppose are kept private
[23:56] <dsprc> MeanderingCode: indeed i am.
[23:57] <kostkon> !ot | X-warrior
[23:57] <brkc> cagrijost, my answer is arguably no. Some people don't like having their file searches sent off to Amazon.
[23:57] <brkc> though*
[23:57] <dsprc> 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] <tgm4883> dsprc, no it doesn't
[23:58] <cagrijost> i guess you can disable that as you said, are there any good things about ubuntu then?
[23:58] <tgm4883> dsprc, citation needed
[23:58] <MeanderingCode> dsprc: i think of typing something into dash as a search...for a program or file, generally
