| dsprc | hope i got that out correctly. screen is not playing well with other ncurses tools today | 00:00 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, ah, so what you actually meant was, anything that gets filtered though the amazon scope gets sent to amazon, not "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" | 00:00 |
| invariant | For every ignorant user (and there are a lot of those), it's nothing short of spying. | 00:01 |
| brkc | Ease of use. You can install third-party pacakages from source with PPAs. Canonical offers paid support. Out of all the distributions, it has the most support (Steam supports it for example). Relatively bleeding-edge packages. It looks pretty. | 00:01 |
| === simon___1 is now known as quaisi | ||
| dsprc | tgm4883: no. everything is sent up to canonical & amazon it then gets filtered and routed there. your local machine handles the display of locally installed stuff | 00:02 |
| brkc | Those are my pros, cagrijost, but I think they vary from person to person. | 00:02 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, that link you sent is confusing then. First they say it happens for every search, then they say to stop that just remove the amazon scope. So which is it | 00:03 |
| cagrijost | i guess you can disable that as you said, are there any good things about ubuntu then?? | 00:03 |
| invariant | cagrijost, I think the number of things which Ubuntu does that are indispensable is 0. | 00:03 |
| cagrijost | oops | 00:03 |
| dsprc | tgm4883: read TFA and some of the comments from developers and users on launchpad linked in TFA | 00:03 |
| cagrijost | brkc: would you recommend ubuntu or any other distros? | 00:03 |
| invariant | cagrijost, if you care about these things, just run a community distribution. | 00:03 |
| jch2os | dsprc - I haven't used aptitude much, but aptitude safe-upgrade and full-upgrade both fail with the same error | 00:03 |
| brkc | cagrijost, what kind of user are you? | 00:04 |
| invariant | cagrijost, something like Debian or Arch. | 00:04 |
| invariant | cagrijost, for beginners, I would suggest Debian Stable. | 00:04 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, thanks for being polite about it. I read the article. It literally says to "sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping" | 00:04 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, which is the amazon stuff | 00:04 |
| invariant | tgm4883, the problem is that they can just rename the package at some point. | 00:05 |
| cagrijost | brkc: well i like the desktop to be pretty, and im a student. ill still keep win8 for games and software i guess though | 00:05 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, not sure if serious..... | 00:05 |
| dsprc | jch2os: not a clue then. | 00:05 |
| invariant | tgm4883, very serious. | 00:05 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, sorry, that was sarcasm | 00:05 |
| invariant | tgm4883, I have no doubt that they will do something like that. | 00:05 |
| invariant | tgm4883, I am not sure whether you know what sarcasm is. | 00:06 |
| dsprc | tgm4883: ubuntu is run by a corporation. sure you can opt-out of the spyware by it is installed _by default_. | 00:06 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, why. What would be the point in that. If they seriously wanted to prevent you from removing it, it would be dang easy | 00:06 |
| invariant | tgm4883, that's not the point. | 00:06 |
| jch2os | anyone have any ideas how to fix this, http://pastebin.com/26RPTcyC | 00:06 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, eg. just build it into Unity | 00:06 |
| invariant | tgm4883, are you really this stupid? | 00:06 |
| invariant | tgm4883, let me spell it out for you then. | 00:06 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, so is redhat | 00:06 |
| invariant | tgm4883, the whole idea is that they can say to everyone 'but you can disable it, so it is not a problem!'. | 00:07 |
| dsprc | tgm4883: and red hat doesnt have to throw spyware into the distro to turn a profit... | 00:07 |
| invariant | tgm4883, but meanwhile people will not remain up to date regarding their new changes and as a result they will harvest more information. | 00:07 |
| tgm4883 | dsprc, but you led with "ubuntu is run by a corporation.". Don't say corporations are evil and in the same breath say they are ok | 00:07 |
| invariant | tgm4883, it's all just a marketing trick and you are falling for it. | 00:07 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, I suppose the switches to disable it without uninstalling it are probably just for show to then | 00:08 |
| brkc | cagrijost, yes, but what will you primarly be doing with Linux? Do you want to tinker around with it and learn? Will you be programming? Do you just want to be able to say you run Linux? Do Macs appeal to you? Etc. | 00:08 |
| dsprc | tgm4883: did i say they are evil? i said it was a corporation. meaning the direction of the distro is driven by for-profit interests and not what is best for users or a community | 00:09 |
| invariant | tgm4883, man, I explained it to you and you still don't get it. | 00:09 |
| invariant | tgm4883, how old are you? | 00:09 |
| invariant | tgm4883, you must be the most naive person in the channel now. | 00:09 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, wow, good one | 00:09 |
| cagrijost | brkc: i guess i will be playing around with it, i program on microsoft studios on my studies, so thats win i guess. Guess to just try something new | 00:10 |
| cagrijost | so yeah, i think its tinker around | 00:10 |
| invariant | tgm4883, I will just go and guess that you are paid to spread misinformation now. | 00:10 |

| cagrijost | brkc: ubuntu looks quite good on the website and so on, they are doing good marketing about it, compared to other distros. but i've found some hating blogs on the net that made me reconsider | 00:12 |
| invariant | tgm4883, you are not a Linux system admin. | 00:12 |
| tgm4883 | invariant, providing you want to remove everything in that directory | 00:12 |
| tgm4883 | well, your current directory | 00:12 |
| invariant | tgm4883, or just unexperienced. | 00:12 |
| tgm4883 | well, it wouldn't remove directories actually | 00:12 |

| invariant | tgm4883, try to read a book and don't tell anyone you are a system admin until you understand the answer. | 00:14 |
| brkc | cagrijost, it's mainly due to Ubuntu changing from a traditional interface to one more suitable for tablets, and of course, the Amazon thing. Actually, if this is your first distribution, then yeah, I recommend Ubuntu. | 00:14 |
| tgm4883 | whatever | 00:15 |

| cagrijost | okay | 00:16 |
| brkc | cagrijost, you can customize in Ubuntu, but the methods of customizing it are just less organized. | 00:16 |

| brkc | invariant, about less organized? I mean that you are more likely to find how to customize on Google than the wiki. | 00:18 |
| * tgm4883 rolls eyes | 00:18 | |

| npf | escott: but wht doesnt that work in the script cd ~/Videos | 00:20 |
| brkc | Arch Linux's wiki seems better to me. | 00:20 |

| brkc | invariant, indeed. I agree with you. | 00:20 |
| iter | npf: script may be running in a different context, which is why you should use the full path | 00:20 |
| escott | npf, its running in a subshell which has its own cwd. it wont affect your shell | 00:21 |
| cagrijost | one last question krkc and invariant: do you recommend wubi or a normal install through usb? | 00:21 |
| invariant | cagrijost, normal install. | 00:21 |
| npf | i get it. its opening a shell and running in the background | 00:21 |
| invariant | cagrijost, there is a simple reason for that. | 00:21 |
| invariant | cagrijost, most advanced users never used wubi. | 00:22 |
| invariant | cagrijost, so, there are likely more problems with wubi. | 00:22 |
| invariant | cagrijost, there is of course a chance that everything works as advertised, but really how often does that happen? | 00:22 |
| brkc | cagrijost, normal install, just let it resize your Windows partition. | 00:22 |

| === Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak | ||
| heedly | I don't like waiting for the window group to expand | 00:29 |
| brkc | You could do that in the bash script. | 00:29 |
| Bray90820 | brck yes ;) but what would the command be | 00:30 |
| jch2os | ok I think I got it...had to boot into the older kernel, remove the newer kernels and then I could get apt fixed | 00:30 |
| brkc | What you could do is set an environment variable to the profile name. | 00:30 |
| brkc | export firefox_profile="myprofile" | 00:31 |
| brkc | Then, use "$firefox_profile" instead of "myprofile". | 00:31 |
| Bray90820 | brck i apologize i am just learning bash and i don't really know what you mean | 00:31 |
| Bray90820 | so i just put $ infront of it | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | foo=100 | 00:32 |
| dr_willis | echo $foo | 00:32 |
| Bray90820 | so i use "$firefox_profile" in the bash script | 00:32 |
| brkc | Sorry, you set a variable named firefox_profile to the profile name you want. | 00:32 |
| brkc | environment variable* | 00:32 |
| Bray90820 | so is this correct | 00:32 |
| brkc | That's what the export line does that I did before. | 00:33 |
| brkc | typed before* | 00:33 |
| Bray90820 | $firefox_myprofile | 00:33 |

| Akiva-Mobile | so pressing alt gives a command interface. Unfortunately, without the terminal, I can't do sudo commands when I press alt. Is there a lens I can configure this with? I would love it if I could just press alt + ctrl-v [sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/blender] > Enter password | 00:41 |
| brkc | You can run this script with words after it. These are called arguments. | 00:42 |
| crazyhorse | Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for an IRC client for ubuntu as well as a Git GUI | 00:42 |
| Bray90820 | so i would have ti change the name of the script? | 00:42 |
| brkc | You don't have to, no. It can stay the same. | 00:42 |
| PatrickDickey | Akiva-Mobile: Alt+F2 maybe? You should be able to run sudo commands in there. And what do you mean by "without the terminal"? | 00:42 |
| crazyhorse | http://askubuntu.com/questions/8015/what-irc-clients-are-available << there's a big list here.. but i'd prefer to get recommendation from someone that uses IRC all day long | 00:43 |
| Bray90820 | sorry if i am completely confused | 00:43 |
| Akiva-Mobile | PatrickDickey: Ah, don't like to stretch my hands like that. by terminal, I just meant that the dialogue that follows after you do a command input | 00:43 |
| dsprc | PatrickDickey: i believe they mean the 'run' dialog. | 00:43 |
| pppZero | crazyhorse, xchat if you want a gui, irssi if you use a shell | 00:44 |
| Akiva-Mobile | and alt f2 does not work PatrickDickey | 00:44 |
| PatrickDickey | crazyhorse you could try git-gui for the GUI. As for irc, I use Quassel, others seem to like XChat. It's a matter of preference. | 00:44 |
| Akiva-Mobile | it still won't prompt me for the password to use sudo | 00:44 |
| vick | how do I do a ssh tunnel, can someone help me? | 00:44 |
| crazyhorse | PatrickDickey: nice, ok.. i'll try them both | 00:44 |
| crazyhorse | pppZero: yeah i prefer gui | 00:44 |
| Akiva-Mobile | vick: just do a barrel roll | 00:44 |
| dsprc | Akiva-Mobile: use 'gksudo yourcommandhere' | 00:45 |
| Bray90820 | brkc i put the argument where? | 00:45 |
| brkc | Basically, you can type 'my-script profile1' and use "$*" to get all the words you typed after the script name. | 00:45 |
| Akiva-Mobile | gksudo? mmm I will try | 00:45 |
| Akiva-Mobile | dsprc: nope, does not work | 00:46 |
| pppZero | vick: what sort of ssh tunnel? | 00:46 |
| vick | pppZero: I want to remotely connect to a computer and tunnel it through my browser | 00:46 |
| brkc | Bray90820, by the way, here's an excellent guide to bash if you're interested. It's probably easier than me explaining the intricacies of bash: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 00:46 |
| vick | basically I want to load a site that's behind ssh in my browser..I have the host name and the port.. also have my public key registered with the remote server. | 00:47 |
| valerie_ | is there a setting in inkscape that would allow me to open svg files that are not on my local computer but on a shared network? | 00:47 |
| Bray90820 | brkc thank you | 00:47 |
| PatrickDickey | Akiva-Mobile: So, if I'm understanding you right, you want to be able to enter the command in something like ALT or ALT+F2, and have it execute without showing you anything? | 00:47 |
| Bray90820 | but the argument is "$firefox_profile" right? | 00:47 |

| neon__ | I started the machine with a ubuntu install disk, but it doesn't let me choose the partition or anything, it seem to straight up start installing | 00:51 |
| escott | neon__, no | 00:52 |
| PatrickDickey | Akiva-Mobile: You might want to point that link out, and include jono in it, since he's the one they suggested talking to. | 00:52 |
| vick | pppZero: example.org should be the remote I am conecting too right? | 00:52 |
| vick | what about <remote_machine> then? | 00:52 |
| pppZero | example.org is the machine you ssh into, then remote_machine is the actual other end of the tunnel | 00:53 |
| neon__ | escott, what no? | 00:53 |
| Akiva-Mobile | jono <<< It would be amazing if alt / alt f2 in unity would be replaced by something like this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/259234/where-do-i-find-a-terminal-lens-for-unity | 00:53 |
| escott | neon__, no it won't "just start installing" without asking about partitioning | 00:53 |
| dsprc | Akiva-Mobile: you can use things like 'tilda', 'yakuake' etc. they are drop down (or pop-up) terminals that stay hidden until you hit some hotkeys | 00:54 |
| PatrickDickey | neon__: What exactly do you see on the screen right now? It should have asked you if you want to update while installing, and then ask you if you want to partition. | 00:54 |
| Akiva-Mobile | dsprc: Not integrated into unity though, right? | 00:54 |
| escott | neon__, so you either misunderstood some question it asked earlier about the partitioning or don't know what it is doing right now | 00:54 |
| neon__ | then I think maybe vmware does some wierd install magic | 00:55 |
| Akiva-Mobile | I mean, I could hotkey the terminal to be in a widgit layer too but its not ideal | 00:55 |
| PatrickDickey | neon__: I could be wrong about this, but VMWare has the ability to auto-install certain operating systems. Or it used to at least. | 00:55 |
| PatrickDickey | neon__: But you should have still set up the virtual hard drive in advance, along with other settings. So, it will only use what you gave it. | 00:56 |
| brkc | Bray90820, here's your switch-profile script (http://pastebin.com/AyzXqHke) and here's your start-firefox script (http://pastebin.com/DVWCf73p). That's what I was thinking/talking about. | 00:56 |
| dsprc | Akiva-Mobile: indeed. agree it would be neat though. file a feature request bug or if you have a patch, submit it ;) | 00:57 |

| jstrake | Newbie using 12.04lts on lenovo thinkpad t61. Core2duo@2.2ghz.3.9GiB RAM. Ubuntu is warning me that I only have a few Mb of diskspace left. But a scan shows over a Gb. Help please! | 00:59 |
| Bray90820 | wait the start firefox script just opens firefox? | 00:59 |
| one | Where is the inittab? | 00:59 |
| brkc | Bray90820, yes. | 00:59 |
| escott | jstrake, 5% is reserved for root | 00:59 |
| Bray90820 | ahh | 00:59 |
| Bray90820 | i dont even need that | 00:59 |
| Bray90820 | i just need to switch the profiles | 00:59 |
| Bray90820 | so i'm all good | 00:59 |
| jstrake | escott, which won't show up on the scan? Is there a command that will show me a more accurate reading? | 01:00 |
| brkc | Bray90820, you have to restart firefox to switch profiles. | 01:00 |
| Bray90820 | yes | 01:00 |
| Bray90820 | i know that | 01:00 |
| Bray90820 | i caqn do that | 01:00 |
| Bray90820 | brck but thank you for the help i never expected you to actually create the script for me | 01:00 |
| brkc | Bray90820, for what I was thinking, you have to use the scripts together. Really, it sounds like you want what was suggested before, to change the default Firefox profile. | 01:02 |

| Bray90820 | i just have one more question not about firefox | 01:05 |
| brkc | Bray90820, why don't you just use two different keyboard shortcuts for different profiles? It would make things simpler. | 01:05 |
| Bray90820 | brck that's what i want to do | 01:05 |
| bravis | hmm | 01:06 |
| Bray90820 | one profile is table and another is laptop | 01:06 |
| brkc | Bray90820, okay, well forget my scripts then. | 01:06 |
| brkc | You just need firefox -P. | 01:06 |
| cagrijost | have anyone here installed ubuntu on a win8 pc? | 01:07 |
| Bray90820 | what i want to do is set 1 script to start tablet profile when i hit F6 and another script to start desktop profile when i hit Control+F6 | 01:07 |
| selena2013 | xubuntu uses xfce , ubuntu uses unity | 01:07 |
| Bray90820 | what would be the best if i could sei then to XF86LAUNCH# and XF86LAUNCH2 | 01:09 |
| Bray90820 | because that's what actually happens when i rotate my screen | 01:10 |
| brkc | Bray90820, you know how to set shortcuts? | 01:12 |
| Bray90820 | i do know how to set keyboard shortcuts yes | 01:12 |
| cagrijost | anyone? | 01:12 |
| brkc | Well, set those keys to the specific firefox -P command. | 01:13 |
| holstein | cagrijost: yes, i have | 01:13 |
| pppZero | cagrijost if it runs win8, it'll run ubuntu ... i've installed ubuntu instead of win8 if that helps? | 01:13 |
| cagrijost | holstein: did your installer see your windows partition? | 01:13 |
| brkc | Bray90820, I'm not sure where to begin with your XF86LAUNCH problem though. | 01:13 |
| Bray90820 | brck i can figure that out myself | 01:14 |
| holstein | cagrijost: yes.. i installed it, and it worked... i wiped windows on a few, and shrank the windows partition on others | 01:14 |
| Bray90820 | im just not a bash coder :p | 01:14 |
| remon__ | Hi, i was wondering if it be possibleto stream my desktop through a virtual webcam like mycam tool does? | 01:14 |
| cagrijost | holstein: are you dual booting then? | 01:14 |
| holstein | cagrijost: you can always just install linux first, and see if its "friendlier" for you to install windows next | 01:14 |
| brkc | Bray90820, you should be thankful you aren't. | 01:15 |
| holstein | cagrijost: im not, but the machines i installed on are dualboot | 01:15 |
| Bray90820 | why is that | 01:15 |
| cagrijost | holstein: can you help me through the installer? | 01:16 |
| remon__ | I want to output my desktop to a virtual webcam | 01:16 |
| holstein | cagrijost: i can try, but im running out for a bit. if you are not seeing hard drives, i would test the hard drives | 01:16 |
| recon_lap | holstein: since when has windows been friendly to a dual boot? | 01:16 |
| holstein | cagrijost: whasts the issue? | 01:16 |
| cagrijost | holstein: the "install besides windows 8" option is not there. it doesnt recognize the win8 OS | 01:17 |
| holstein | recon_lap: im not sure.. i just install it alongside.. seems to work when i test it | 01:17 |
| brkc | Bray90820, it's probably the most confusing "programming language" out there. | 01:17 |
| holstein | cagrijost: the OS? or the drive? | 01:17 |
| cagrijost | os | 01:17 |
| selena2013 | install boot-repair in live | 01:17 |
| Bray90820 | i mean i do know a few small basics | 01:17 |
| holstein | cagrijost: go into windows and make a partition you know about, and select that to be replaced | 01:17 |
| Bray90820 | but im no master | 01:17 |
| Bray90820 | anything case sesative is confusing | 01:18 |
| escott | cagrijost, win8 oem? | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | remon__: at one time 'webcamstudio' could do that.. no idea if the app is still being developed | 01:18 |
| remon__ | @dr_wilis: ty i will check it out | 01:19 |
| holstein | cagrijost: use a gparted live CD to create partitions, and see if it "sees" your windows 8 install | 01:19 |
| holstein | cagrijost: install linux, then windows8 and recover grub afterwards | 01:19 |
| Bray90820 | anyways what should i do about my bash script right now | 01:19 |
| holstein | cagrijost: use http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/linux-partition-manager.htm or something like it to create your ext and swap partitions in windows for the linux install | 01:20 |
| SierraAR | Anybody know what exactly this process highlighted in blue is, and why it's eating up my CPU whenever i boot? | 01:20 |
| SierraAR | http://sierrabrown.toxic-productions.com/ss/Screenshot%20from%202013-02-28%2017:14:14.png | 01:20 |
| brkc | Bray90820, what do you mean? There's no need for a bash script. Just set your shortcuts' commands to firefox -P "specific-profile" | 01:20 |
| Bray90820 | brck i was also going to have other non firefox related comands in the script | 01:21 |
| Bray90820 | such as starting the onscreen keyboard | 01:21 |
| PatrickDickey | SierraAR: it's a python script that runs apt-get check (or apt-get update). | 01:22 |
| brkc | Ah, Bray90820, then create two different scripts. | 01:22 |
| brkc | Then have the firefox line be: firefox -P "$*" | 01:23 |
| remon__ | @dr_willis. Thank you. It is still beein=g maintained. Very much what i was looking for | 01:23 |
| SierraAR | PatrickDickey: Is it necessary to run when I boot? Running the update manager or apt-get update doesn't eat up my CPU like this. | 01:23 |
| PatrickDickey | SierraAR: You can kill it, and it will run again when it needs to. | 01:23 |
| brkc | Bray90820, wait, sorry. Scratch that last part. | 01:23 |
| Bray90820 | yes i plan on that | 01:23 |
| Bray90820 | ok | 01:23 |
| brkc | You can just use their real profile names. | 01:23 |
| Bray90820 | brck what is the comand? | 01:24 |
| brkc | Then, just set the keyboard shortcuts to your scripts' names. | 01:24 |
| Bray90820 | sorry for not understanding | 01:24 |
| brkc | Bray90820, what do you mean? | 01:24 |
| brkc | Command for what? | 01:24 |
| neon__ | yes, it was my VMware | 01:25 |
| Bray90820 | changing the profiles for ubuntu | 01:25 |
| neon__ | does ubuntu automaticly output to HDMI when it is connected with hdmi? | 01:25 |
| brkc | Whatever your profile's name is, is what you use. For example, you might have a "Tablet" profile. Then, you would launch Firefox using: firefox -P "Tablet" | 01:25 |
| Bray90820 | yes | 01:26 |
| Bray90820 | but i don't want to launch firefox | 01:26 |
| Bray90820 | just change the profile | 01:26 |
| PatrickDickey | neon__: yes on a physical connection. As for in VMWare, it uses whatever display your host operating system is using. | 01:26 |
| SierraAR | So. PatrickDickey. The process won't die. | 01:26 |

| neon__ | PatrickDickey, I want to move the hard drive to a laptop with a broken screen, and an HDMI output. I won't be able to see anything if it wont output to hdmi , and on boot that laptop don't output to hdmi | 01:27 |
| brkc | Bray90820, I do. It's a bit complicated. You would also have to change how you start Firefox. | 01:28 |
| * SaMOOrai is a cow with a sword.. MooYAH! | 01:28 | |
| SierraAR | PatrickDickey: That got it, thanks. Any idea why the kil function in htop wasnt working? | 01:28 |
| Bray90820 | brck do you think it's worth it | 01:28 |
| SierraAR | And what does the -9 do? | 01:28 |
| neon__ | PatrickDickey, maybe I need to install some drivers/firmwares for the laptop? | 01:28 |
| Bray90820 | to actually get it working | 01:28 |
| neon__ | PatrickDickey, (before moving the HD?) | 01:28 |
| PatrickDickey | SierraAR: it was probably in an uninterruptible state, and -9 is Signal 9, which essentially says "I said KILL IT!" | 01:29 |
| SierraAR | Ah | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | -9 = kill with extreme prejudice | 01:29 |
| neon__ | I think this laptop use GMA | 01:30 |
| PatrickDickey | neon__: I'm not sure on that. You'll need the drivers for the laptop's graphics card installed on the hard drive. If it's the same as what you're currently using (the driver files at least), it might detect the hdmi right away. | 01:30 |
| * PatrickDickey likes dr_willis explanation for -9 better than mine. :) | 01:32 | |
| SierraAR | Is it safe to assume that the excessive CPU usage would explain why the battery wasn't charging? | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | SierraAR: that would seem a little odd. | 01:34 |
| escott | SierraAR, no | 01:34 |
| PatrickDickey | SierraAR: Possibly. If the charger doesn't provide enough power to both charge the battery and run the computer. But it's unlikely. | 01:34 |
| dr_willis | that would be a very underpowered charger | 01:35 |
| neon__ | OK, I don't get this gui for ubuntu. Does it have normal gnome? | 01:35 |
| Bray90820 | brkc do you think i should try to get it working or should i should just turn it off every time | 01:35 |
| Bray90820 | neon__: do you mean like it was in 8.04 | 01:36 |
| SierraAR | I'll see if it charges now that it's not trying to melt itself XD | 01:36 |
| brkc | Bray90820, I don't think it's worth it to have just one firefox shortcut that switches between profiles. | 01:36 |
| neon__ | Bray90820, it is the first time I see a ubuntu running. I am used to old gnome. I can't find here even how to fire up an xterm | 01:37 |
| brkc | Creating one for each profile would be easiest. | 01:37 |

| neon__ | holding it doesn't do anything | 01:44 |

| === proby__ is now known as proby | ||
| dr_willis | phunyguy: how are you going to boot it? theres a installer part/pulldown menu thing that asks where to install it.. i recall you can tell it not to. | 01:49 |
| phunyguy | I am fairly certain they took away the alternate installer images for 12.10 and up | 01:49 |
| dr_willis | No alt-cd for 12.10 - correct | 01:50 |
| phunyguy | dr_willis: grub is already installed on the disk, I will just add the new install to it | 01:50 |
| dr_willis | phunyguy: so some other OS is manageing grub then | 01:50 |
| phunyguy | dr_willis: ubuntu 12.04 is | 01:50 |
| phunyguy | I dont want both managing grub | 01:50 |
| phunyguy | that would get hairy... | 01:50 |
| phunyguy | I will check the installer for the option. Thanks | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | problem may be if you update the kernel on 12.10 - im not sure how it will handle things.. you will have to go back to 12.04 rerun update-grub and it should scan.see the new kernels.. then add entries.. then reboot back to 12.10... | 01:51 |
| dr_willis | ive never done a dual boot of 2 ubuntus. ;) at least not lately | 01:51 |

| === lawrence is now known as Guest83859 | ||
| PatrickDickey | phunyguy: I think that if you choose the "Do something else" option at the partitioning, it gives you the option of where to install Grub. I don't know if you have the option to not install it at all though. | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | hmmm... | 01:54 |
| BareGraceMisery | Hello, I have a question about OpenOffice (I tried #openoffice but no-one was there). | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | well that's stinky | 01:54 |
| phunyguy | I will check though. worst comes to worse, I can let all 3 manage grub. | 01:55 |
| phunyguy | not a deal breaker. | 01:55 |
| bazhang | BareGraceMisery, its #openoffice.org | 01:55 |
| PatrickDickey | phunyguy: More than likely, 12.10 will manage it for everyone. Unless you have a LVM set up. In which case it might get hairy. | 01:55 |
| BareGraceMisery | So, is anyone here familiar with Openoffice spreadsheet, and how one would create a "data plot" with it, which I think is the equivalent of… thank you bazhang | 01:55 |
| phunyguy | PatrickDickey: what do you mean it will manage it for everyone? | 01:56 |
| phunyguy | it will be the only one to make changes? | 01:56 |
| PatrickDickey | It will install it's version of GRUB over the bootloader. So, it will handle GRUB for everyone. Which means if you upgrade a kernel in one of the others, you'll probably have to go to 12.10 and run update-grub. | 01:57 |
| phunyguy | oh. | 01:57 |
| phunyguy | I knew that | 01:57 |
| PatrickDickey | phunyguy: I'm guessing here, as I haven't successfully tried to run two different grubs on one drive. | 01:57 |
| phunyguy | well either way, all the OSs will be listed | 01:57 |
| phunyguy | so I guess it's not all that bad. | 01:58 |

| === PrincessDaybreak is now known as Dawn_ | ||
| PatrickDickey | phunyguy: You could also try chainloading. If you have the option, install GRUB to the partition you're putting 12.10 on instead of the main drive itself (/dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda for example). And then run your update grub on 12.04 and chain load them. | 01:58 |

| dr_willis | or at least i thinkthey all do. :) there maybe other wm's that also use it | 02:18 |
| Nekosan | dr_willis: drop a shortcut in that dir? | 02:19 |
| neon__ | I installed ubuntu on a physical disk in vmware, now I try to boot that disk in a laptop, and it doesn't load | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | a link, a .desktop file. or a script. or even an actual executable... | 02:19 |
| neon__ | anyone know what I should do in order to transfer the disk between machines? | 02:19 |
| dr_willis | neon__: ive seen guides on converting Virtualdisk images onto a real physical disk and visa versa.. but never done so.. | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | also seen MANY warnings to not use vbox (and i assume vmware) to access a real physical disk. - it can cause curruption of data | 02:20 |
| neon__ | dr_willis, it is already on physical disk, I made vmware use the physical disk as is | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | and now it no longer boots normally? | 02:21 |
| dr_willis | or vmware just dosent boot it | 02:21 |
| neon__ | I took the disk back to vmware, and there it boot fine. On the laptop, it started grub ok, but then didn't do anything, I tried again with recovery mode, and then it didn't even get to the grub on the next boot, but on the VMware it was oK. | 02:23 |

| Disk1of5 | hey all, using ubuntu 12.10 and gaming on steam.. i have a multi monitor setup and use twinview.. is there a better solution then twinview i heard it was a quick fix by nvidia and newer drivers use RandR but i can't find any info on how to use randr ? | 02:33 |
| bazhang | !xrandr | Disk1of5 | 02:33 |
| ubottu | Disk1of5: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 02:33 |
| bazhang | Disk1of5, arandr is the front end if you need a gui | 02:34 |
| PatrickDickey | I'll be back in tomorrow. Hopefully my kernel will decide to upgrade between now and then. | 02:34 |
| Disk1of5 | bazhang: perfect thanks! :) | 02:35 |
| vipzrx | holstein: ? | 02:35 |
| Disk1of5 | bazhang: so im looking at this.. and all is good but does this mean i set my nvidia settings back to seperate X windows? | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | i found twinview better then the xrandr stuff here. | 02:38 |
| Disk1of5 | bazhang: only thing is that when i do that i get a white screen on one.. its like unity window manager doesn't recognize the other display | 02:38 |
| dr_willis | i use the nvudia settings tool. not xrandr | 02:38 |
| vipzrx | PatrickDickey: any suggestion ? | 02:38 |
| Disk1of5 | dr_willis: twinview is nice but it messes with most games.. thinking that my desktop is the width of dual monitors | 02:39 |

| dr_willis | Disk1of5: twinview is xinerama with some extensions.. ive only had issues with it in very few apps over the years. what app are you having issues with. i dont think the xrandr tools work well with the nvudia drivers. used to be xrandr did not work at all with nvudia | 02:44 |

| Bray90820 | what o wanted to do was change the firefox profile from a bash script without opening firefox | 03:02 |
| Bray90820 | so i was going to have a command to open it change the profile and then close it | 03:02 |
| dr_willis | you mean change the default profile it uses? | 03:02 |
| === beezy is now known as dward | ||
| holstein | Bray90820: why not just save shortcuts that open whatever profile you want? | 03:03 |
| === abumirqaan is now known as muqayil | ||
| dr_willis | then a link that links the firefox script to the default profile you want. ;) then change the link as needed | 03:03 |
| === mindstor1 is now known as mindstorm | ||

| === Guest76709 is now known as Garr255 | ||
| Grrrrrrrr | hello. Can I ask about an install issue here please? | 03:05 |
| somsip | Bray90820: weren't you told before to use the script to set an environmental variable to point to the profile you want to use, then create a Firefox link to use that ENV? | 03:06 |
| somsip | ...as the -P $FIREFOX_PROFILE | 03:06 |
| dr_willis | or use a soft link you change to run whatever profile/script you need | 03:06 |
| holstein | Bray90820: ^^ i agree with that.. you are doing it wrong to make script | 03:06 |
| Bray90820 | well i could do "firefox -p tablet " but then it opens firefox | 03:07 |
| Bray90820 | i wanted it to change the profile without opening firefox | 03:07 |
| dr_willis | Bray90820: so why does it matter.. if you are opening firefox anyway | 03:07 |
| somsip | Bray90820: you've been given two solutions. What's the issue with them? | 03:07 |
| Bray90820 | both of them open firefox | 03:07 |
| Bray90820 | i don't want firefox to open | 03:08 |
| dr_willis | Bray90820: setting the env variable. or soft links.. will NOT open firefox. | 03:08 |
| Bray90820 | well then i appologize | 03:08 |
| sybariten | oh hai | 03:08 |
| Bray90820 | i didn't know that | 03:08 |
| somsip | Bray90820: You symlink 'firefox' to 'firefox -P tablet' then the script toggles to reset the symlink to 'firefox -P desktop' | 03:08 |
| sybariten | anyone know any good clipboard managers for linux? | 03:08 |
| sybariten | ive aready tried clipit | 03:08 |
| dr_willis | sybariten: theres several in the repos. | 03:08 |
| dr_willis | it depends on your needs and desktop. | 03:09 |
| sybariten | dr_willis: yes, i know. | 03:09 |
| Bray90820 | actually if i enter "firefox -P tablet" in te terminal it opens firefox | 03:09 |
| sybariten | dr_willis: i need to dump a long clipboard history to file | 03:09 |
| holstein | Bray90820: you dont need to switch them.. unless its open.. if its closed, its not doing anything | 03:09 |
| sybariten | or autosave | 03:09 |
| Bray90820 | what i want is for it to set a profile for next time i open it | 03:09 |
| somsip | Bray90820: then don't do that. symlink 'firefox' to a bash file that contains 'firefox -P tablet' and set the keyboard toggle script to switch between that script and another that contains 'firefox -P desktop' | 03:10 |
| somsip | ...to swicth the symlink... | 03:10 |
| Bray90820 | but i am going to have more comands in the bash script | 03:10 |
| somsip | Bray90820: and? | 03:10 |
| Bray90820 | like for teh onscreen keyboard and stuff | 03:10 |
| somsip | and? | 03:10 |
| Bray90820 | i kinda would liek it all from 1 keyboard shortcut | 03:10 |
| holstein | Bray90820: the next time you open it, you open it with the shortcut you made to the profile you want to use | 03:10 |
| Bray90820 | holstein you know that's not a bad idea | 03:11 |
| dr_willis | so the keyboard shortcut calls a 30 line script instead of a 4 line script. ;) | 03:11 |
| somsip | Bray90820: and one of the lines in that 30 line script does the thing with the symlinks | 03:11 |
| Bray90820 | what is a symlink | 03:11 |
| * dr_willis would just make 2 icons... | 03:11 | |

| holstein | vipzrx: ? you run sudo apt-get autoremove emacs-snapshot emacs-snapshot-gtk ibus-el ...then sudo apt-get update.. then see that there are no errors.. then we talk about what you are trying to do that is breaking your system | 03:22 |
| dr_willis | some of the guides on quicklists may be out and a little out of date.. its an expanding feature with each new reelase | 03:22 |

| boldfilter | I looked around | 03:38 |
| evilytwisted | anyone in here know anything about "recordmydesktop"? im trying to get it to record the system audio.. like.. the games im playing and the sound coming from skype | 03:38 |
| packetfrog | I am not complaining. just saying :) your search would be faster if you searched something that responds immediately.. | 03:38 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: i have used it | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | user__: check the bios settings | 03:39 |
| evilytwisted | do you know how to get it to record both game sound.. Like minecraft and skype voice at the same time | 03:39 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: i would use pavucontrol and try and route it.. i was using JACK back when i was using it | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: that seems to be a constant question with that app.. ive managed to get it to record system sounds once or twice.. then never could repeate what i did to do it | 03:39 |
| evilytwisted | i cant get jack to run.. | 03:40 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: im using pavucontrol. | 03:40 |
| holstein | !proaudio | evilytwisted but you should try pavucontrol first | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: and yes i was using jackd. and twiddled with pavucontrol.. | 03:40 |
| ubottu | evilytwisted but you should try pavucontrol first: For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 03:40 |
| evilytwisted | IM using pavucontrol | 03:40 |
| evilytwisted | i cant get jackd to even work | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | had to use both of them i recall.. not looked into it lately | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | it was way way more hassles then it should have been | 03:41 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: that link ^^ shows how to setup JACK, but you should be aboe to route in pavucontrol | 03:41 |
| evilytwisted | ok ty | 03:41 |
| evilytwisted | pavucontrol from what ive seen only lets me record system audio | 03:41 |
| evilytwisted | and my voice.. | 03:41 |
| selena2013 | help help pleaseee | 03:41 |
| evilytwisted | not system audio and skype | 03:41 |
| dr_willis | the wkipe wiki page had some info on recording skype | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | !skype | 03:42 |

| evilytwisted | Ill get the errors | 03:43 |
| holstein | selena2013: sometimes, it can be as easy as installing hhe proprietary graphics driver, if you have one available | 03:44 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: i would try pavucontrol as i suggested above.. make sure everything is open and running | 03:44 |
| evilytwisted | I have everything opend | 03:44 |
| evilytwisted | everything is running, | 03:44 |
| === james is now known as Guest14660 | ||

| dr_willis | and recording? ;) | 03:44 |

| evilytwisted | error * | 03:44 |
| evilytwisted | thats Just trying to run jack | 03:45 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: running JACK for this is overkill.. open a terminal and run "sudo adduser yourusername audio" | 03:45 |
| selena2013 | hhe ??? | 03:45 |
| evilytwisted | The user `evilytwisted' is already a member of `audio'. | 03:45 |
| Guest14660 | 大家好，我用的xubuntu，打开软件中心的时候，闪一下，软件中心就自动退出了，请问应该怎么打开软件中心呢？ | 03:46 |
| evilytwisted | I already have it as audio... | 03:46 |
| user__ | how to set up default output to hdmi? | 03:46 |
| evilytwisted | and holstein heres the other set of errors | 03:46 |
| evilytwisted | http://pastebin.com/VAiK1Ghm | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | user__: on my desktop - it does defailt to hdmi first.. then dvi.. if both are plugged in. | 03:46 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: then, in the terminal... "ps aux | grep jack" see that jack is not running.. then run qjackctl or jack control and hit the setup button and let me know when you are ready | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | user__: so its most likely a bios setting.. you can use the drivers to select what monitor is a primary monitor. | 03:47 |
| darkhelmet46 | Hey guys, I figured out how to make a command to run in startup using the GUI, but how do I get a command to run on shutdown? | 03:47 |
| Guest14660 | 有人在吗 | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | darkhelmet46: a command to do what? | 03:47 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: this says it is running http://pastebin.com/JCT4wevk | 03:47 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: see that it is *not* runnin.. kill it all | 03:48 |
| user__ | dr_willis, my bios don't have that option, and the default is no hdmi output | 03:48 |
| evilytwisted | ok | 03:48 |
| evilytwisted | sorry | 03:48 |
| darkhelmet46 | dr_willis, to save the state of a VirtualBox VM. I know the command I need, I just want to have it run automatically on shutdown. | 03:48 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: for some reason, you have driver set to "null".. set that to "alsa".. then left side, untick "realtime" and see that nothing else it ticked | 03:48 |
| bloopletech | After the latest updates/reboot, I'm getting a black screen with cursor after graphical login; this is on 12.10 | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | darkhelmet46: im not sure id trust the auto-shutdown stuff to do that :) seems a very imporntant thing to do.. | 03:48 |
| evilytwisted | how do you kill jack when theres no programs to kill using the default click x button | 03:49 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: in the center... frames/period 1024, samplerate 44100, periods/buffer 2 | 03:49 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: i use kill pid.. sudo kill all jackd might get it.. or however you want to kill processes | 03:49 |
| darkhelmet46 | dr_willis, I appreciate the concern, but I can take my chances, it's nothing mission-critical. | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | holstein: You should write up a guide on askubuntu.com for this. ;) it seems to be a faq for recordmydesktop | 03:49 |
| evilytwisted | and ty holstein and dr_willis for helping me.. sorry if im being a bit hard to help | 03:49 |
| bloopletech | I'm running official Nvidia drivers version 313.18, and I haven't updated that in a coupl week, and I've had intervening reboots | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | darkhelmet46: ive seen mention where that .config/autorun and /etc/rc.local can both run stuff at shutdown. but never seen how to make it do it. | 03:50 |
| holstein | !proaudio | dr_willis this guide is pretty good, but its a long page to get to what im talking about, and most dont make it down there | 03:50 |
| ubottu | dr_willis this guide is pretty good, but its a long page to get to what im talking about, and most dont make it down there: For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | i just want to record whats in a window.. and exacctly what i hear. ;) or just the audio from that playing video.. | 03:51 |
| dr_willis | but i havent even needed to do that in a year... so ive not looked into it lately | 03:51 |
| user__ | where are the keyboard layout settings? | 03:51 |
| bloopletech | If, after logging in, I switch to a VT, and run DISPLAY=":0" gnome-session, then I get a bunch of compiz stuff, notably FBO IS UNSUPPORTED errors, but I think those have been there before | 03:52 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: i changed the audio driver to alsa.. and the other frames/period and samplerate was the same as you mentioned | 03:52 |
| evilytwisted | Yet it still wont connect to it | 03:52 |
| evilytwisted | and ive killed jack multiple of times | 03:52 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: there is a lot of configuring... and setup.. and JACK *is* overkill for this. but you must wait on me.. for each stop | 03:53 |
| holstein | step* | 03:53 |
| evilytwisted | ok | 03:53 |
| evilytwisted | ty | 03:53 |
| darkhelmet46 | dr_willis, ok i added a line to rc.local, let's see what happens... | 03:53 |
| capella | meh - something happened to gnome-search-tools' "open containing folder" behaviour after I started tinkering with the |exo-open| command ... | 03:53 |
| bloopletech | The only thing I can find is to disable texture compression, however it wasn't switched on, I've added an explicit texture-compression=false to the dconf config, and it's still not working after a reboot | 03:53 |
| evilytwisted | if there was something better to use than record my desktop I would use it.. | 03:53 |
| evilytwisted | IM not trying to make a mountain out of a pile of dirt.. | 03:53 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: so, see that JACK is not running in the terminal.. kill all jack processess.. ps aux | grep jack | 03:53 |
| darkhelmet46 | nope, didn't work lol | 03:54 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: I keep trying to kill jack but it wont die.. | 03:54 |
| evilytwisted | I did pkill jack.. killall jack.... | 03:54 |

| evilytwisted | this holstein is my problem | 03:55 |
| evilytwisted | It says jack is running | 03:55 |
| evilytwisted | But when i try to kill it.. it states it isnt running | 03:55 |

| selena2013 | anyone command autoremove before ? what is good for ??? | 03:59 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: so, you are clear then? nothing but grep when you run ps aux | grep jack? | 03:59 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: To kill a process by name you have to use pkill Otherwise use the pid | 03:59 |
| evilytwisted | I understand waht your saying usr13 IM not trying to come across like a idiot | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | I did pkill i did kill-9 with pid | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | YEt it wont die | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | it keeps rebooting.. | 04:00 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: Did you use kill? | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | Killall pkill kill-9\ | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | Yes | 04:00 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: Why do you need to kill it in the first place? | 04:00 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: asked to make sure jack isnt running | 04:01 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: You can uninstall it. | 04:01 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: Why | 04:01 |
| evilytwisted | holstein: ? | 04:01 |
| bloopletech | it looks like the process name isn't plain 'jack', looks like 'jack_lsp' and 'jackdbus' | 04:01 |
| evilytwisted | Ill show you the lastet attempts to kill it | 04:01 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: gksudo qjackctl ..though, you dont want to run jack as root all the time.. | 04:01 |
| selena2013 | sudo apt-get clean , what it means | 04:02 |
| evilytwisted | http://pastebin.com/zNwMYqtd | 04:02 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: make sure the settings are as i asked.. and see that the interface settings are good.. and try hitting "start" | 04:02 |
| evilytwisted | ok | 04:03 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: pastebin any errors | 04:03 |
| usr13 | evilytwisted: So you killed it. | 04:03 |
| evilytwisted | http://pastebin.com/nxKfZK4r | 04:03 |
| evilytwisted | usr13: No i didnt kill it.. | 04:04 |
| evilytwisted | It keeps apearing | 04:04 |
| bloopletech | evilytwisted: note that the grep jack you're seeing in the ps results is the "grep" command itself, not the "jack" command you're trying to kill | 04:04 |
| evilytwisted | bloopletech: english plz? im sorry i didnt understand | 04:04 |
| darkhelmet46 | How do I edit my .bash_logout file? | 04:04 |
| holstein | evilytwisted: /join #ubuntustudio so we can keep the channel clear | 04:05 |

| thewiredbear | anyone here? | 04:06 |
| bloopletech | when you do "ps aux | grep jack", that starts the grep program, and because of how the shell works, the "ps" command actually picks up on the grep program and will list that along with whatever it is you're searching for | 04:06 |
| evilytwisted | ahh.. | 04:07 |
| evilytwisted | ty bloopletech | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | thewiredbear, what's the issue ? | 04:07 |
| bloopletech | so if you do ps aux | grep choclate, you'll always see grep itself in teh results, even if you don't have ant choclate running | 04:07 |
| bloopletech | np | 04:07 |
| thewiredbear | anyone up for another sound problem, probably already solved before but I don't seem to find the right solution | 04:07 |
| evilytwisted | Ook.. that makes sense but doesnt at the same time | 04:07 |
| evilytwisted | its like a psuedo | 04:07 |
| evilytwisted | But its really not there | 04:07 |
| thewiredbear | Okay, this is the whole outlook, I have ubuntu 12.10.....and it all was working fine, then suddenly, ubuntu stopped reading my soundcards, while alsamixer works perfectly fine and I can manage audio from there, and resulting to all of this, my unity sound control ( the one with rythmbox is gone).....BUT STILL OUT OF ALL OF THIS, ALSA WORKS and I DO HAVE SOUND FROM MY SPEAKERS..... Please help me as soon as possible....it is re | 04:08 |
| thewiredbear | help please on this one! | 04:08 |
| bloopletech | evilytwisted: basically. It's a bit complicated, I'd jus deal with the current issue and ignore it :P | 04:08 |
| thewiredbear | please dude! | 04:08 |
| bloopletech | I get sidetracked myself >_> | 04:08 |
| thewiredbear | I really can't even use my equalizer! | 04:09 |

| thewiredbear | man I could have helped......had I not been a noob myself | 04:09 |
| darkhelmet46 | Anyone know how I edit my .bash_logout file? | 04:09 |
| evilytwisted | thewiredbear: were all a noob at one point in life | 04:09 |
| bloopletech | thewiredbear: max relax ;). Ok so do you get sound in any of your music players? | 04:09 |
| evilytwisted | even bloopletech tech here.. | 04:09 |
| bloopletech | of course | 04:09 |
| thewiredbear | yup I get sound everywhere | 04:09 |
| thewiredbear | point is I have no way to control it | 04:10 |
| thewiredbear | my settings don't show any soundcard | 04:10 |
| thewiredbear | while I can manage from terminal through alsa mixer | 04:10 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: go to the file manager, hit ctrl + h, then see the bach logout file, double click it, | 04:10 |
| bloopletech | thewiredbear: the settings probably are using pulseaudio whereas the alsamixer is using alsa | 04:10 |
| bloopletech | but we can figure it out | 04:11 |
| thewiredbear | yup I tried killall pulseaudio........then terminal says it is a wrong command | 04:11 |
| darkhelmet46 | ty bloopletech! got it. ctrl+h shows hidden files I assume? | 04:11 |
| bloopletech | thewiredbear: well hang on a sec you may actually want pulseaudio | 04:11 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: yep | 04:11 |
| thewiredbear | okay <blooptech> | 04:12 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: on linux files that start with a "." are hidden,by convention | 04:12 |
| vipzrx | holstein: here ? | 04:12 |
| darkhelmet46 | crap, it's not doing what i want it to do anyway... | 04:12 |

| holstein | vipzrx: yes.. you have just what the error says.. duplicate sources.. also, you have 32 and 64bit sources.. its a mess there | 04:13 |
| holstein | vipzrx: you need to clean that up.. if you added anything manually, remove them, and hope you can recover | 04:13 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: note that bash_logout is probably for when you exit a terminal session (or similar) | 04:13 |

| azizLIGHTS | i am having problems with my graphics and s-video to tv | 04:15 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: hmm, /etc/rcblah probably isnt going to cut it, because by the time they run you're already logged out and so the virtualbox instance is killed | 04:15 |
| bloopletech | presuming that you're starting the virtualbox instance after you're logged in | 04:15 |
| holstein | azizLIGHTS: i do that by getting to an alternate menu by tapping or holding shift after the bios screen.. then f6 at the bottom has "nomodeset" | 04:16 |
| vipzrx | holstein: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575364/ is the output of "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" | 04:16 |
| azizLIGHTS | holstein: thank you | 04:16 |
| sahil_ | Good morning people! | 04:16 |
| holstein | vipzrx: just comment out any duplictates | 04:17 |
| darkhelmet46 | bloopletech, any ideas? | 04:17 |
| bloopletech | thewiredbear: can you open a terminal and do "aplay -L" and pastie the output? | 04:17 |
| bloopletech | darkhelmet46: sorry, not off the top of my head, I'm happy enough I've got things working on login | 04:18 |
| bloopletech | There's probably a gnome-specific way to do things on logout | 04:18 |
| bloopletech | but I don't know it myself | 04:18 |
| darkhelmet46 | ok no problem, just trying to make it brainless. | 04:19 |

| dr_willis | darkhelmet46: check askubuntu.com - they might know the proper way. ive seen this asked befor - but never saw a 'good' answer | 04:20 |
| vipzrx | holstein: i find no duplictates | 04:20 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: loook in the sources.list.d/ directory also. the sort command can sort the file and print it out also. ;) | 04:21 |
| holstein | vipzrx: in a terminal... sudo apt-get update .. post errors once more | 04:21 |
| vipzrx | sort? holstein | 04:22 |
| dr_willis | sort /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq ;) i think would filter out all dupes. in that file. | 04:22 |
| sahil_ | hello people! everyone is aware of the "error: sparse file cannot be created" bug of grub,.... i just reinstalled the grub and the problem was solved! | 04:23 |
| dr_willis | as for sources.list.d/ that may take a little more work | 04:23 |
| holstein | vipzrx: whats that? | 04:23 |
| Rallias | mmk... I'm trying to create a bridge device between tap0 and tap1, and have a pre-up script to start openvpn before launching, but it fails because the tap0 and tap1 devices don't exist... how do I correct this? | 04:23 |
| vipzrx | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575383/ holstein dr_willis | 04:24 |
| vipzrx | output of "sort /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq " | 04:25 |
| holstein | vipzrx: sudo apt-get update | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: that should have removed any duplicate lines. :) do a line count on it and the original to see if any lines have been removed | 04:25 |
| dr_willis | sort /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq | wc -l vs output of wc -l /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | uniq requires a sorted input.. i recall from.. years back | 04:26 |
| vipzrx | jb@panda:~$ sort /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq | wc -l | 04:26 |
| vipzrx | 51 | 04:26 |
| vipzrx | jb@panda:~$ wc -l /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:26 |
| vipzrx | 59 /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:26 |
| FloodBot1 | vipzrx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:26 |
| dr_willis | looks like 8 lines were removed.. but those might have been blank/empty lines | 04:27 |
| foobarface | why not just use sort -u instead of uniq then? | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: perhaps when i learned uniq in the 1970s it dident have a -u ;) | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | or sort.. :) | 04:27 |
| foobarface | XD | 04:27 |
| dr_willis | i started years ago on Sun Workstations | 04:27 |
| foobarface | dr_willis: i humbly bow before your many years of knowledge | 04:28 |
| dr_willis | the good old says of High res Greyscale monitors.. ;) i forget the res they used. | 04:28 |

| derrick__ | has anybody ever suddenly had their install be really slow to open up folders in nautilus/nemo? | 04:29 |
| bloopletech | derrick__: sometimes, try Quitting nautlus (right click it in the unity panel and click Quit), then start it again | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | ive had X/driver/compiz issues make all of X slow... | 04:30 |
| dr_willis | but never noticed it just for nautilus | 04:30 |
| derrick__ | bloopletech: it has been constant for the last month | 04:30 |
| derrick__ | my X is super fast | 04:30 |
| bloopletech | derrick__: hmm that is definitely odd. this persists after reboots, etc? | 04:31 |
| derrick__ | just seems like file operations are slow ever since I remove a ntfs RAID from my machine | 04:31 |
| derrick__ | bloopletech: Yeah | 04:31 |
| bloopletech | derrick__: across all filesystems, like portable hard drives / usb drive / other drive paritiions? | 04:31 |
| derrick__ | switching folders, mounting drives, and sometimes loading webpages are slower than they should. | 04:32 |
| foobarface | derrick__: do you have any nfs hard mounts by chance? | 04:32 |
| foobarface | derrick__: nvm, that isn't what i thought it sounded like at first | 04:33 |
| derrick__ | foobarface: I don't, but I actually installed nfs support recently... hmm.. | 04:33 |
| foobarface | derrick__: is it in your fstab file? | 04:33 |
| derrick__ | nope | 04:33 |
| jiltdil | how to find all hidden files present in system instead of this find /path/to/dest/ -iname ".*" -maxdepth 1 -type f any good & short way to find ? | 04:34 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: uniq consider "blank line" ? | 04:35 |
| derrick__ | it takes about 15 seconds to open folders, and my hard drive isn't going crazy with activity. it's super weird. | 04:35 |
| bloopletech | derrick__: sounds suspiciously like something is timing out | 04:36 |
| bloopletech | maybe it's trying to do something nfs-y and ping something that's down etc | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: duplicate lines get removed.. 6 blank lines mean 5 get removed | 04:36 |
| usr13 | jiltdil: What is wrong with the way you just quoted? | 04:37 |
| jiltdil | usr13, nothing... please read my question any short way to find... | 04:37 |
| jiltdil | usr13, Any idea? | 04:38 |
| bloopletech | jiltdil: that find command looks fine to me? Is using find like that problematic for you? | 04:39 |
| foobarface | jiltdil: a shorter command? i suppose you could just find all files, then grep it for begining with a . | 04:39 |
| foobarface | jiltdil: but that's probably not shorter acutally | 04:39 |
| jiltdil | bloopletech, no.but want to type less | 04:39 |
| derrick__ | alright, lets see what happens when i remove nfs-common... | 04:40 |
| bloopletech | jiltdil: you could make a bash alias for it | 04:40 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: did you read my sources.list ?http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575364/ | 04:40 |
| jiltdil | bloopletech, that's not my answer :P Any way i'll try to find if possible | 04:41 |
| bloopletech | add 'alias findhidden="find . -iname \".*\" -maxdepth 1"' to your ~/.bashrc file, open a new terminal, and type findhidden<enter> | 04:41 |
| bloopletech | jiltdil: then what are your requirements? We can't give you an answer unless we know what you need | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: whats the exact error you are having anyway. the sort commands we used showed no dupes that i noticed. | 04:42 |
| jiltdil | bloopletech, Actually i want to write less character in terminal & your aliasing solution is nice .. but what if i don't want to alias :) Thanks for support | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | make a 2 line script. ;-) | 04:43 |
| bloopletech | jiltdil: you could make a script in /usr/local/bin | 04:43 |
| bloopletech | then you could run it from anywhere on the system | 04:43 |
| dr_willis | /home/username/bin for a user | 04:43 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: jb@panda:~$ sort /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq | wc -l | 04:44 |
| vipzrx | 51 | 04:44 |
| vipzrx | jb@panda:~$ wc -l /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:44 |
| vipzrx | 59 /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:44 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: i want to install emacs from ppa, | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | so 51 unique lines in the file.. 59 in original... now count the number of blank lines.. i saw 8 | 04:45 |
| sahil_ | is there any libreoffice 4 ppa?? i am ubuntu 12.04 | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: redundant entries in sources.list wont prevent that | 04:46 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: that means there is no difference | 04:46 |
| cfhowlett | sahil_, you can install lib4 directly | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: so your extra stuff is in /sources.list.d/ somewhere... | 04:46 |
| escott | bloopletech, should your find pattern not be \.* | 04:46 |
| packetfrog | excuse me? Yes? how to hax planet? | 04:46 |
| bravis | can anyone tell me how to correct low soung in Xubuntu?? | 04:47 |
| bravis | sound* | 04:47 |
| sahil_ | cfhowlett_ i kinow that will install the enire suite, infact i have downloaded as well i just need writer and impress | 04:47 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575403/ | 04:47 |
| bloopletech | escott: ah yes, in that case definitely | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: /etc /sources.list.d/ holds added ppa entries | 04:47 |
| vipzrx | this is my problem | 04:47 |
| sahil_ | know* | 04:48 |
| foobarface | jiltdil: does this do what you want? it wont' produce the identical output however. ls -A | grep "^\." | 04:48 |
| jiltdil | foobarface, kindof | 04:48 |
| jiltdil | foobarface, thanks | 04:48 |
| wad | So, on my old debian system, I'd edit /etc/network/interfaces to do things like configure my NICs. But that doesn't seem to be the right way to do it anymore. What file do I edit now? | 04:48 |
| foobarface | jiltdil: no prob, sorry it's not a 100% solution (and therefore not really a solution) | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: and looks like its nothing to do with entries in ypur sources to me. | 04:49 |
| wad | There is a networkmanager thingy now... where do I got to configure my network cards? | 04:49 |
| bloopletech | wad: are you looking to do something custom, or just connect to a network? | 04:49 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575405/ | 04:49 |
| jiltdil | foobarface, no problem. thanks for your valuable time | 04:49 |
| escott | bloopletech, just tested it. find seems to interpret . differently from every other program | 04:50 |
| wad | I'm replacing my old debian machine, acting as a network gateway, with Ubuntu. | 04:50 |
| bloopletech | wad: ah ok. Well the short version is: network-manager is mainly for merely connecting to a network. If you want a custom setup, you're better off configuring the network manually | 04:50 |
| wad | So I'm needing to do a bunch of custom stuff. :) | 04:51 |
| bloopletech | which you can still do via /etc/network/interfaces | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | hmm | 04:51 |
| bloopletech | you can add lines to interfaces to mark certain interfaces to not be automatically managed | 04:51 |
| wad | bloopletech, perfect. So I suppose I need to tell the network manager to... not do things automatically? | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: and looks like its nothing to do with entries in ypur sources to me. | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | vipzrx: the emacs pavkage has an issue | 04:52 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: what should i do next ? | 04:52 |
| wad | bloopletech, so just adding an entry in interfaces is enough to convince networkmanager to not do it automatically? | 04:52 |
| bloopletech | wad: um one sec | 04:52 |
| dr_willis | no idea. i dont use emasc. the error says report a bug | 04:52 |
| wad | sure! Thanks for the help, by the way! | 04:52 |
| bloopletech | wad: what you want is "iface wlan0 inet manual" (or similar) in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:53 |
| vipzrx | dr_willis: ok thank you | 04:53 |
| dr_willis | Please file a bug report against emacs-snapshot | 04:53 |
| wad | bloopletech, got it. Thanks! | 04:53 |
| bloopletech | that's enough to get network-manager out of your hair; then it's up to you | 04:53 |
| DigitalNinja | Yo | 04:54 |
| wad | bloopletech, the first puzzle I've run into: The system is incorrectly assigning eth0 and eth1 to the interfaces. I recall there was a way to force them to be the same every time, at least with debian. | 04:54 |
| bloopletech | wad: humm, the last time I did this was like 6 months ago... | 04:55 |
| wad | I'll look for it. | 04:55 |
| wad | Don't bother. | 04:55 |
| bloopletech | thanks ;) | 04:55 |
| wad | Just checking to see if it was cached. | 04:55 |
| wad | ;) | 04:55 |
| bloopletech | the one tipoff I have is: if you're wanting to share an internet connection from one machine to others, it's a massive PITA, but it is possible | 04:56 |
| bloopletech | I remember hostapd and firestarter being important components | 04:56 |
| wad | bloopletech, I had this all set up under debian. Fancy firewall rules in my iptables, transparent proxy with squid, etc. But that OS finally gave up the ghost, so I'm upgrading to Ubuntu. | 04:57 |
| foobarface | so has anyone successfully gotten steam/tf2/source engine games to work on 12.10 with fglrx? it appears that the repo is pretty far behind (even fglrx-updates has no updates) | 04:57 |
| foobarface | i'm just curious to hear a sucess story, not looking for troubleshooting help | 04:58 |
| thtanner | what card btw | 04:58 |
| foobarface | radeon hd 5470 | 04:58 |
| thtanner | my mobile 4000 series was a right pain | 04:58 |
| mcurran | TOPIC FOR ME = MULTI-BOOTING: What's the most professional way to dual-boot with windows 8, without any fallout problems later on, since ms likes to control what you use on your hardware and if you use their product then no-one else allowed. Can Grub 2 handle passing the required info to WIN8's UEFI secure boot requirements? Because I've tried numerous times, and my OS install only lasted about a week tops outta ten tries. | 04:58 |
| foobarface | ah, i have the mobile 5000 series :( | 04:58 |
| thtanner | its a very different card and considered more modern | 04:59 |
| foobarface | thtanner: did you eventually get it to work though? | 04:59 |
| thtanner | the hd 2-4k got set to legacy | 04:59 |
| thtanner | amd finally released 13.1 | 04:59 |
| thtanner | cleared up my issue | 04:59 |
| foobarface | oh right... didn't they stop supporting the 4k cards in the latest driver? | 04:59 |
| thtanner | reintroduced it i guess | 04:59 |
| foobarface | that was in mid january right? | 04:59 |
| mcurran | PS: I always install my bootloaders for each repective OS in their own respective partitions. | 04:59 |
| bloopletech | foobarface: I would use the drivers directly off the amd website rather than the ubuntu packages | 04:59 |
| thtanner | that was this month I thought | 05:00 |
| thtanner | i agree with bloop. | 05:00 |
| foobarface | bloopletech: thtanner: ok awesome, thanks for the help... this gives me hope! | 05:00 |
| thtanner | just run their installer script and it should hopefully do the rest | 05:00 |
| foobarface | i assume i need to compile a deb from source with them? or do they provide one? | 05:00 |
| kedar_apte | trying to access anymeeting.com on ubuntu 12.04.02 and flash settings cannot be clicked.......works properly on Linux Mint Nadia... | 05:00 |
| thtanner | they have a script that takes care of the kernel blob and such | 05:00 |
| bloopletech | foobarface: I used to have a 5650 HD mobile chipset | 05:01 |
| bloopletech | foobarface: though I switched to the open source drivers eventually | 05:01 |
| thtanner | its all automated for the most part as long as things go well | 05:01 |
| thtanner | open source drivers caused glitching on my 4000 series sadly | 05:01 |
| wad | bloopletech, found it. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to assign NIC names by MAC address. :-D | 05:01 |
| foobarface | thtanner: ah, i think i see it... the .run one? | 05:01 |
| thtanner | correct | 05:01 |
| === c_smith is now known as c_smith_away | ||
| foobarface | awesome, thanks! | 05:01 |
| bloopletech | wad: nice | 05:01 |
| wad | Making the change.... I might drop off. | 05:01 |
| thtanner | gl | 05:01 |
| foobarface | bloopletech: yea, i started using the open source drivers, but i had hdmi output issues (interlaced video for some reason), but more importantly, games would run at 9fps | 05:02 |
| * wad wonders | 05:03 | |
| foobarface | i'm just one of those people who hates to install without a repo, especially for something that I want to be bleeding edge, like video card drivers... but you guys seem to be happy with 13.1, so i'll try it out | 05:04 |
| bloopletech | foobarface: tbh with video card drivers, the official sites are usually more up to date than the repos | 05:04 |
| foobarface | bloopletech: that just seems so strange to me though since it's one of the few packages out there that so many people would use | 05:05 |
| bloopletech | foobarface: well by definition, the repos are just repackaging the stuff off the official site | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | theres a limit to the manpower they can allocate on keeping specific stuff up to date.. ubuntu dosent try to stay up with the nvidia or ati drivers | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | ive also see those various .run installers break things.. | 05:06 |
| foobarface | true, i suppose... | 05:06 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu is not designed to be bleeding edge. ;) | 05:07 |
| foobarface | dr_willis: really? well now i'm scared to even try it haha | 05:07 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: had a guy in here just yesterday was fighting with the .run stuff.. he eventually got it removed and backto the normal fglrx repo drivers | 05:08 |
| dr_willis | this channel basically dosent/cant support the use of the .run drivers | 05:08 |
| argure_ | hai, I'm having some issues getting 12.10 running properly | 05:08 |
| foobarface | dr_willis: do you mean to tell me that a 6 month turn around to get new software is not bleeding edge?? /sarcasm :P | 05:08 |
| argure_ | I've tried installing nvidia-current after building linux-headers `uname -r` and linux-source | 05:08 |
| argure_ | but modprobe nvidia_current throws a nice "Device not found" | 05:08 |
| foobarface | i'm not a fan of using some random .run either... it's just hard when they don't provide another comparable choice | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: isee people in here this month mad that their 8.xx release was no longer supported... | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | or others trying to get steam going on a 8.x install.. | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | im more hampered by the lack of armv6 support. ;) since i cant run ubuntu on my raspberry pi without it, | 05:10 |
| tdrusk | I'm stupid and did a chown tdrusk:tdrusk -R .* in my Videos directory, which seems to have went up to my home directory because it caught the .. folder as well. Does that mean that it went up another directory(/home) and kept going up or does it stop? | 05:10 |
| foobarface | hahaha... well i'm kinda guilty of living in the past too... i was using an unsupported 10.10 install until a little while ago (i'm stupid and should have just used the LTS) | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | i wouldent think -R .* would travel UP... | 05:11 |
| foobarface | dr_willis: i thought someone hacked together debian on the pi | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: rasbian is the official debian variant for the pi. but thats not ubuntu. ;) | 05:11 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: It goes up because *. includes .. | 05:12 |
| alexitcarper | can anyone here help me? | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | tdrusk: ive definatly seen commands use .* that do not go Up and ignore . and .. | 05:12 |
| foobarface | dr_willis: true... i just guessed that if debian works, ubuntu would follow... shame that they do'nt support it though :( can't go wrong with a $25/35 computer | 05:12 |
| bloopletech | alexitcarper: no, we're all angry morons | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: its all about manpower | 05:12 |
| alexitcarper | wow | 05:12 |
| dr_willis | tdrusk: did you use sudo with that command? | 05:12 |
| alexitcarper | i just hooked up a external dvd drive and i cant seem to mount it so i can use it | 05:13 |
| foobarface | tdrusk: dr_willis does -R cover symlinks? | 05:13 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: Odd. I am actually not using Fuduntu, but I figured bash would be the same and I could get a faster answer here. Yes, I ran sudo. After I saw it gave me an error about not being able to change ../.gvfs I ctrl+c to stop it. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | foobarface: never really noticed.. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | tdrusk: fuduntu? thats actually redhat based. not ubuntu at all. ;) sounds like it stopped in the users home.. | 05:14 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: I know but ubuntu chat is pretty snappy and full of smart people. I agree, since /root is still owned by root. | 05:15 |
| bloopletech | tdrusk: it would only go up, not sideways; check ownership of /home | 05:16 |
| foobarface | tdrusk: yea but my IQ will being this chat's avg down | 05:16 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: would the recursion go up to my home directory, finish it's work, and then go up again or is it structured in any way? | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | ls -R .* goes up one directory from what i see here | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | and stops | 05:17 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: Ah, you are right. /home is owned by root. Phew, i didn't want to accidentally my system. thanks a ton for your help. :) | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | tdrusk: but you ran it with sudo.. that could affect /home/ | 05:18 |
| foobarface | good catch, yea it was the .. that did it - i'm not sure why i assumed symlinks lol | 05:18 |
| alexitcarper | im having a problem | 05:18 |
| selena2013 | ubuntu 12.10 i love it | 05:18 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: It could, but it doesn't look like it did if home is still owned by root right? | 05:18 |
| Q17 | new to Linux where the best place to start | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | tdrusk: yep. it stopped at .gvfs at least | 05:19 |
| tdrusk | Q17: Just make it do what you want it to do. Read the forums and try to help others solve their problems. Teaching is a great way to learn. | 05:19 |
| packetfrog | Q17 On your computer. | 05:19 |
| alexitcarper | how am i supposed to mount a external dvd drive | 05:19 |
| packetfrog | :D:D:D | 05:19 |
| bloopletech | Q17: download ubuntu and install it side-by-side with your existing operating system; then come in here if you have any graphics issues etc. after installation | 05:19 |
| tdrusk | dr_willis: Great. No big deal then. Thanks again man. | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | alexitcarper: pop in disk.. use mount command | 05:20 |
| alexitcarper | im not very educated. im having a problem using the mount command | 05:20 |

| bloopletech | Q17: ok. You're probably going to have a better long-term experience if you install it to the system itself. But that's a start | 05:22 |
| maddog | yes it is ubuntu 12.10 | 05:22 |

| keyboardChalleng | hi all, random challenge with ubuntu on a laptop. They keyboard glitches randomly to where I have to hold a key for 3 seconds before it registers and key-combos don't work. It's all fixed if I logout and login. Any clues? (running xfce desktop) | 05:27 |
| foobarface | maddog: also, i had an older computer with overheating issues in linux which turned out to be due to compiz effects, you could try turning down/off any effects to test if that is the issue | 05:27 |
| keyboardChalleng | I'm wondering what might be reloading during logout / login to make the keyboard work again | 05:28 |
| bloopletech | foobarface, maddog: actually yeah compiz could be doing a lot of bad things if you don't have the right graphics drivers; what's the graphics chipset? | 05:29 |

| Q17 | why? | 05:33 |
| packetfrog | backtrack is a security penitration testing distrobution. | 05:33 |

| keyboardChalleng | during logout and login from desktop session, what could be fixing my keyboard issue? | 05:35 |
| segin | There are no complains about missing libraries, just complains of missing symbols | 05:35 |
| lazer | foobarface: That's easy. Tank. :) | 05:35 |
| segin | The program compiles on my FreeBSD box without issue, and I use GNU Autoconf for my build system | 05:35 |

| keyboardChalleng | last time to ask: random challenge with ubuntu on a laptop. They keyboard glitches randomly to where I have to hold a key for 3 seconds before it registers and key-combos don't work. It's all fixed if I logout and login. Any clues? (running xfce desktop) | 05:36 |
| bloopletech | segin: so ./configure passes fine? | 05:36 |
| segin | Is there any known reason why the linker would find the libraries but be unable to resolve synbols? | 05:36 |
| keyboardChalleng | I'm wondering what might be reloading during logout / login to make the keyboard work again | 05:36 |
| segin | bloopletech: yes, it would be trying to link if configure didn't pass | 05:36 |
| tonsofpcs | foobarface: nah, it's more like asking a chevy salesman "ok, what's better: a chevy truck or a fishing boat" | 05:36 |

| bloopletech | segin: can you pastie the makefile and the compilation output? | 05:37 |
| segin | The Makefile is generated from Makefile.am via automake | 05:38 |
| ramoer | hi | 05:38 |
| bloopletech | well then pastie the am file... | 05:38 |
| segin | but like I said, it works perfectly fine on my FreeBSD box | 05:38 |
| foobarface | did anyone switch to using gnome classic and have all their taken-for-granted keyboard shortcuts stop working? (basics like alt-tab) | 05:40 |
| bloopletech | well they are different operating systems so that isn't really enough information to solve the problem | 05:40 |
| foobarface | i know how to set them back, i'm just wondering if this is normal behavior | 05:40 |
| bloopletech | we need to see the compilation log so we can check the flags to gcc etc | 05:40 |
| dr_willis_ | foobarface: not heard anyone else complain | 05:40 |
| packetfrog | :D:D:D | 05:41 |
| foobarface | dr_willis_: ok thanks... i probably just goofed up something then | 05:41 |
| nell | one of my partitions is nearing maximum capacity. is there an easy way to just appoint a new mount or drive? chroot right? | 05:41 |
| apwbdjp | foobarface, switching windows managers does some times mess up with keyboard shortcuts | 05:41 |
| dr_willis_ | whats a new mount going to do? You can mount a new filesystem to some /whtever/ dir and move stuff over. :) if thats what you mean' | 05:42 |
| bloopletech | nell: you want to resize a partition? or make a new one on blank space? | 05:42 |
| foobarface | apwbdjp: ah, ok thanks! glad i'm not just going crazy | 05:42 |
| dr_willis_ | nell: thats nothing to do with chroot | 05:42 |
| apwbdjp | foobarface, I've never switched to Gnome Classic, but I did lose everything when switching to more "from scratch" WMs, like Openbox or FVWM | 05:42 |
| segin | okie | 05:42 |
| dr_willis_ | openvox and fvwm has their own seperate settings from gnome.. so the shorts btween the 2 are not related | 05:43 |
| dr_willis_ | gnome classic uses the same gnome underneeth. so the shortcuts should stay the same.. unless its compiz using the shortcuts in unity.. and whatever the gnomeclassic is using.. is not seeing the settings | 05:44 |
| dr_willis_ | gnome classic/fallback uses mutter dosent it? | 05:44 |
| dr_willis_ | or metacity? | 05:44 |
| foobarface | dr_willis_: i think mutter replaced metacity | 05:45 |
| segin | bloopletech: let me make clean and rebuild using a different terminal emulator... the log got chopped by xterm | 05:45 |
| foobarface | dr_willis_: but that's a good idea... i should check if compiz is messing with it somehow | 05:46 |

| wad | I'm confused again. Need to set up dhcp. But I don't think I need "dhcp3-server" anymore, it says that this is just a transitional package. And there already exists /etc/dhcp. Do I made my changes to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf... but how to I restart the daemon? There is no /etc/init.d/dhcp .... ? | 05:50 |
| segin | wad: DHCP as a server, or as a client to a server on e.g. a router? | 05:51 |
| wad | server | 05:51 |
| wad | Well, both. | 05:51 |
| bloopletech | segin: trying | 05:51 |
| segin | Ah, yeah, dnsmasq does the job | 05:51 |
| wad | Client on eth0, server on eth1. | 05:51 |
| wad | Is /etc/dhcp just the client? | 05:51 |
| segin | Yes. | 05:51 |
| wad | So what should I make of the result of "apt-cache show dhcp3-server" where it says that it's a transitional package that should be removed? | 05:52 |
| segin | wad: dnsmasq is the "recommended" server. It does a few nifty things, for example, it is a DNS proxy, and it can also take the hostnames in DHCP requests and add them to it's DNS cache | 05:52 |
| wad | Ah! | 05:52 |
| wad | New shtuff... | 05:52 |
| bloopletech | segin: well the first problem is your INSTALL file doesn't tell you to run automake first :/ | 05:52 |
| segin | wad: Have you ever been on Windows, and been able to access another computer by hostname without having a local DNS server | 05:52 |
| segin | bloopletech: run 'generate-configure.sh' | 05:53 |
| wad | I don't use Windows. | 05:53 |
| segin | bloopletech: the lack of all those configure bits is because that is "compiled" output that is traditionally not checked into version control | 05:53 |
| wad | Well, okay. I think I'll just do it in dhcp3-server fo rnow. Gotta get this up and running so I can sleep tonight. | 05:53 |
| segin | bloopletech: release packages, of course, would include it. | 05:54 |
| foobarface | oh yea... here's a question i had from a long time ago... is there any way to show all manually installed packages? (when i say manually, i mean packages which the user explicitly installed) | 05:54 |
| bloopletech | segin: hmm ok | 05:54 |
| bloopletech | building | 05:54 |
| segin | wad: Well, you can just set a hostname in Windows on two boxen and they can find each other by resolving their hostnames via broadcast SMB | 05:54 |
| foobarface | there's a way to view all "manual" packages, but ubuntu seems to have marked many as manual during instalation | 05:55 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| AcidRain | is there a bleachbit alternative? i feel like it does more damage than fixing now | 05:55 |
| wad | segin, ah. | 05:55 |
| segin | wad: dnsmasq accomplishes this behavior by adding the hostname reported in the DHCP request into it's DNS cache | 05:55 |
| AcidRain | it seems to do the same thing to me as xsessions-errors | 05:55 |
| wad | segin, that's spiffy. :) | 05:55 |
| segin | wad: You can add a new machine to your network, give it a hostname, and all the other computers can use that hostname without having to edit /etc/hosts | 05:55 |
| segin | wad: dnsmasq will automatically add the new machine's hostname to it's DNS cache | 05:56 |
| wad | segin: I have a different approach. I run DHCP and grab the MAC, and put in into the dhcpd.conf. Then that machine gets the same IP every time. If I want to hit it from another location, I add it to DNS. | 05:56 |
| wad | So I guess I just do it manually. | 05:56 |
| segin | wad: dnsmasq's DHCP server supports such "static DHCP" | 05:57 |

| foobarface | mint_: HELLO! | 05:57 |

| mint_ | foobarface: here is the output of sudo fdisk -lu http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575495/ | 05:59 |
| foobarface | mint_: do you have any free space to store an image of a partition? | 05:59 |
| mint_ | no | 06:00 |
| segin | mint_: Use GPartEd. | 06:00 |
| mint_ | segin: using it but not able to do | 06:00 |
| apwbdjp | segin, is that doable without having to backup data? | 06:00 |
| foobarface | segin: can gparted change a partition in place? | 06:00 |
| segin | Are you booted from the same hard drive you wish to repartition? | 06:00 |

| erkan^ | without PPA | 06:00 |
| segin | erkan^: Why can't you use a PPA? | 06:00 |
| mint_ | In sda1, Mint is installed, sda2, data folder, sda3 swap and sda4 windows8 | 06:01 |
| mint_ | segin: no, using live usv | 06:01 |

| apwbdjp | mint_, I'd say your best way is to back up the data from one of the partitions, then delete it, and recreate it as extended. That's how I did it when I had to | 06:01 |
| segin | erkan^: Downloading random Debian packages from the net is even less trustworthy. | 06:01 |
| mint_ | packetfrog: I need XP for some work-related stuff | 06:01 |
| segin | erkan^: PPAs may be risky, but the risk is low compared to other sources. | 06:02 |
| erkan^ | ok | 06:02 |
| erkan^ | :/ | 06:02 |
| mint_ | apwbdjp: so primary partition cant be changed to have two logical partitions? | 06:02 |
| mint_ | my disk details http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575495/ | 06:03 |
| apwbdjp | mint_, logical paritions can only be inside extended partitions | 06:03 |
| foobarface | apwbdjp: but mint_ said they didnt' have enough space to store an image of it | 06:03 |
| mint_ | apwbdjp: yeah I dont have backup space. Is there any other way. | 06:04 |
| apwbdjp | foobarface, true, but yet making a primary partition become extended isn't any more doable, so he'll have to back up in a way or another (And backing up data is less expensive than backing up an entire image) | 06:04 |

| holywater_ | Is dual boot ubuntu with windows 7 good | 06:05 |
| mint_ | aeon-ltd: no , I need a full installation. | 06:05 |
| apwbdjp | mint_, I agree with aeon-ltd, a virtual machine might save you. It will also avoid you some trouble with the SATA drivers if WinXP is what you wanna install | 06:05 |
| holywater_ | means i feel littt bit slow on dual boot | 06:05 |
| mint_ | apwbdjp: SATA drivers? | 06:06 |
| apwbdjp | mint_, some trouble that WinXP has with modern computers, you might get a BSOD during the install | 06:06 |
| mint_ | apwbdjp: thats OK. I think I need to reinstall everything again | 06:07 |
| segin | bloopletech: Anything so far? | 06:09 |

| Ntemis | i created raid5 on /dev/md0 | 06:21 |
| aeon-ltd | ask; in the future don't ask to ask | 06:21 |
| Ntemis | mounted in home/shares | 06:21 |

| Ntemis | i continue | 06:22 |
| Ntemis | now raid has renamed it self to /dev/md127 o.o | 06:22 |
| Ntemis | wtf | 06:22 |
| Ntemis | i needed to update grub? that is what i did wrong right? | 06:23 |
| Ntemis | so how i name it back to md0? | 06:24 |
| dr_willis_ | !enter | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:24 |
| dr_willis_ | normally grub and the system use the uuid of a device. not the /dev/XXX name.. but im not sure how that applys to raid setups. | 06:25 |
| dr_willis_ | sounds like your fstab entry is incorrect | 06:26 |
| Ntemis | now is | 06:26 |
| dr_willis_ | so this would not be a grub issue if its just a data drive. but a fstab problem | 06:26 |
| Ntemis | is looking for md0 | 06:26 |
| dr_willis_ | and your fstab entry for the device is what exactly? | 06:26 |
| Ntemis | something like /dev/md0 /home/shares ext4 0 0 | 06:27 |
| Ntemis | why he named my raid array md127 | 06:27 |
| dr_willis_ | and you really should be using the uuid. and not the /dev/md* type name i imagine. | 06:27 |
| Ntemis | all was ok until i restarted | 06:27 |
| dr_willis_ | I dont use raid. so no idea why they change. | 06:28 |

| iceroot | Ntemis: use the UUID instead of /dev/md0 | 06:28 |
| dr_willis_ | !uuid | Ntemis | 06:28 |
| ubottu | Ntemis: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 06:28 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: mdadm was changing my name too | 06:28 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: but with UUID i dont have any problems with that | 06:28 |
| Ntemis | really? | 06:28 |
| Ntemis | is that a bug | 06:28 |
| Akiva-Mobile | Before I report it, I just want someone else to confirm it | 06:28 |
| dr_willis_ | Ntemis: /dev/XXX names can change.. uuid shpuldent. | 06:28 |
| dr_willis_ | shouldent | 06:28 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: /dev/sda can also change the name to /dev/sdb, because of that we use UUID | 06:29 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: sudo blkid to get the uuid, use that instead of /dev/xxx | 06:29 |
| Ntemis | ok so uuid it is | 06:29 |
| Ntemis | so is dev/uuidnamexxx? | 06:29 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: UUID=83c95f5a-a171-4079-8a2c-b964dc4c580f /home/michael/storage ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 06:30 |

| Ademan | I'm using a USB wifi adapter with my laptop but network manager keeps reporting "disabled by hardware switch" which is true, the hardware switch is off (otherwise my system is unstable), but this does not affect USB devices, and indeed 'rfkill' shows that the USB device is neither hard nor soft blocked. I don't really like wicd, can I convince network-manager to ignore the hardware switch? | 06:31 |
| zuppy | i use 12.04 on a samsung laptop and since iv done an update i cant connect to my home router via wifi when using wpa2, if i disable encryption it works fine or if i use a cable. | 06:31 |
| apwbdjp | Ademan, the USB Wifi Adapter should act as another Networking card.. Does it show on iwconfig? | 06:32 |
| Ademan | apwbdjp: yeah, it appears in network manager as well, it just is unselectable and has the "Disabled by hardware switch" message. I can associate with every AP I've tried using wicd and even ifupdown | 06:33 |
| iceroot | Ademan: sounds like a bug in network-manager for me but i dont know what the hardware/bios is doing/reporting excactly when the hardware-switch is used | 06:34 |
| dr_willis_ | ive heard some others in here mention that all their wifi cards turned off/failed to work right - if the switch on the laptops built in wifi was off. | 06:35 |
| iceroot | Ademan: i would suggest to open a bug against network-manager | 06:35 |
| diverdude | i have installed gnuplot from the repository, and when i try to plot something no plot window is shown. show terminal also says terminal type is unknown. is there a problem with the repository version? | 06:35 |

| diverdude | Ademan, Linux bdi-ThinkPad-W520 3.5.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 7 01:50:30 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 06:37 |
| mneuro | I am running Xubuntu 12.10 64 bit with Nvidia driver 310 and I'm noticing my performance in games is about half of what I get in Windows. Is this to be expected? | 06:37 |
| Ademan | (I don't really know gnuplot) | 06:37 |
| zuppy | mneuro yeah sounds about right | 06:37 |
| diverdude | Ademan, well it says Terminal type set to 'unknown' | 06:37 |
| judahitewarrior7 | I currently have Ubuntu 12.10 installed, and I am trying to reinstall Windows XP. I can't install it because my hard drive isn't showing up. Can anyone help me? | 06:38 |
| diverdude | Ademan, when i load gnuplot | 06:38 |
| zuppy | mneuro are you using wine | 06:38 |
| Ademan | diverdude: are you launching from a terminal? | 06:38 |
| iceroot | mneuro: wine? or steam? | 06:38 |
| mneuro | zuppy, no. The same games in both Windows and Linux via steam | 06:38 |
| diverdude | Ademan, yes | 06:38 |
| mneuro | One example is Guns of Icarus Online. 30-40 frames per second on full graphics in Windows, 10 frames per second on medium graphics in Ubuntu | 06:39 |
| iceroot | mneuro: i am getting the same/better performance on GNU/Linux on all source-games, so normally it should not be slower (using an nvidia optimus card) | 06:39 |
| zuppy | mneuro does that include TF2? | 06:39 |
| iceroot | mneuro: but i am using the nvidia-driver from the website, not from the repo | 06:39 |

| mneuro | Killing Floor in Linux is nearly unplayable for me, stutters and freezes constantly. In windows its flawless on max settings | 06:39 |
| Ademan | diverdude: how are you invoking gnuplot? (and how are you initiating the plot) | 06:39 |
| judahitewarrior7 | Can anyone help me out? | 06:39 |
| mneuro | TF2 is stuttery and about half as good as Windows | 06:39 |
| iceroot | mneuro: i was also facing big differences on intel cards with the driver from the repo and newer drivers from a ppa | 06:40 |
| diverdude | Ademan, i open a terminal and i write gnuplot | 06:40 |
| iceroot | mneuro: so i guess its just a driver issue | 06:40 |
| packetfrog | judahitewarrior7 Do you want to get rid of ubuntu? | 06:40 |
| mneuro | What driver Should I use if not the one in the repo | 06:40 |
| Ademan | Killing floor has caused me a few kernel panics, but I'm using the open source ATI drivers so meh | 06:40 |
| judahitewarrior7 | packetfrog: Yes | 06:40 |
| KingSphinx | mneuro: Did you use the "experimental-310" driver? Or are you using a Radeon graphics card? | 06:41 |
| packetfrog | judahitewarrior7 Do you have a live usb or dvd/cd of ubuntu still? | 06:41 |
| Ademan | diverdude: Ok so that brings up the gnuplot prompt right? what do you enter there where you're expecting a plot? | 06:41 |
| Ntemis | iceroot do i have to remove the " from uuid? | 06:41 |
| mneuro | experimental-310 | 06:41 |
| judahitewarrior7 | packetfrog: Yes | 06:41 |
| Ntemis | now i have it like this UUID="46273c1f-5095-46c1-9642-2480fdc48f43" | 06:41 |
| Ntemis | should i remove the "" | 06:41 |
| Ntemis | ? | 06:41 |
| zuppy | anyone have any advice about my wifi not connecting to some networks | 06:41 |
| KingSphinx | mneuro: Did you disable compositing? Even if Xfce is light, compositing will cause a performance hit. | 06:41 |
| packetfrog | judahitewarrior7 boot the live ubuntu. use gparted to make a new partition table on your harddrive and format it to fat32 then reboot and install winXP | 06:42 |
| mneuro | Yes, disabled compositing | 06:42 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: use it like in my example | 06:42 |
| iceroot | Ntemis: UUID=83c95f5a-a171-4079-8a2c-b964dc4c580f /home/michael/storage ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 06:42 |
| Ntemis | you dont have " | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | mneuro: disable multi core rendering | 06:42 |
| diverdude | Ademan, yes. and when i launch it like that it says terminal type set to unknown as seen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5575559/. i then try to make a plot by doing plot sin(x) and then nothing happens | 06:42 |
| mneuro | ? | 06:42 |
| segin | Does Lubuntu perform compositing by default? | 06:42 |
| packetfrog | judahitewarrior7 Understand? | 06:42 |
| Ademan | diverdude: interesting, I plotted sin(x) too... works for me | 06:43 |
| judahitewarrior7 | packetfrog: thank you | 06:43 |
| Ademan | diverdude: you're on regular ubuntu? or xubuntu? | 06:43 |
| Ademan | using screen or tmux? over ssh? | 06:43 |
| diverdude | Ademan, its just standard ubuntu | 06:43 |
| diverdude | Ademan, and i cannot do set terminal x11 | 06:44 |
| packetfrog | judahitewarrior7 No problem. | 06:44 |
| diverdude | Ademan, it seems to have problems finding X11 | 06:44 |
| Ademan | diverdude: interesting, try this: "DISPLAY=:0.0 gnuplot" | 06:44 |
| Ademan | diverdude: actually, I'm on 12.04 and your version is 0.2 newer than mine, my test may not be valid | 06:45 |
| diverdude | Ademan, DISPLAY=:0.0 gnuplot => invalida expression | 06:45 |
| Ademan | diverdude: it's a terminal command, not a gnuplot command | 06:46 |
| borillion | guys I have debian running off an sdcard and want to configure the fstab, to /dev/mmcblk# how do I know what number to set # as? | 06:46 |
| Ademan | diverdude: honestly I don't think it will make a difference, because it should already know what the DISPLAY variable is, but it's worth a try I suppose | 06:47 |
| === iorweth_tilbake is now known as iorweth | ||

| dr_willis_ | borillion: i thunk you may want to use the uuid not /dev/somthing | 06:48 |
| Ademan | diverdude: glad to hear it, what'd you do? | 06:48 |

| anuj | hi | 07:07 |
| bloopletech | segin: hey I finally got it working | 07:07 |
| segin | okay! | 07:07 |
| segin | Did you experience the same problem initially, or did it just go? | 07:07 |
| anuj | I want installed application list with thumbnail in ubuntu | 07:08 |
| anuj | how can i get this list in a file | 07:08 |
| bloopletech | segin: I don't know how to configure this in automake, but in the final Makefiles, you have to change the CXXLINK= line to remove $(AM_LDFLAGS), and you have to change the $(CXXLINK) line o add $(AM_LDFLAGS) before $(LIBS) | 07:08 |
| bloopletech | i.e. the -lxyz arguments have to be after the -o blah blah.cpp arguments | 07:09 |
| bloopletech | yeah I had the problem you had | 07:09 |
| === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle | ||
| anuj | im new to ubuntu please help | 07:10 |
| bloopletech | So it helps, these are the packages I had to install to satisfy the configure dependencies: libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libvisual-0.4-dev libtag1-dev libmpg123-dev | 07:10 |
| bloopletech | also: I hope automake is doing something useful for you, because all it seems to be doing is making a giant crappy makefile with tons of stuff that probably never gets used | 07:11 |
| segin | okay | 07:16 |
| dr_willis_ | !clone | anuj | 07:20 |
| ubottu | anuj: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 07:20 |
| dr_willis_ | anuj: theres other commands to get a list of instgalled apps also. i just dont rember them | 07:20 |

| panorain | the first harddrive is running grub v 1.98 | 07:22 |
| panorain | lucid lynx ubuntu | 07:22 |
| panorain | when I installed ghostbsd I did not tick the add bsd bootloader | 07:23 |
| dr_willis_ | anuj some other ways are here --> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=list+of+installed+packages | 07:23 |
| panorain | I plan to use the grub2 bootloader | 07:23 |
| dr_willis_ | panorain: mounting is not the same as booting.. | 07:23 |
| goodtime | ha just installed the kde GUI,"plasma"desktop | 07:23 |
| panorain | how am I able to mount then boot bsd at startup with grub? | 07:23 |
| dr_willis_ | you mount via the /etc/fstab or mount command.. grub configs may pick up the bsd install if you run 'sudo update-grub' | 07:23 |
| panorain | can i mount with fstab through lucid right now? | 07:24 |
| dr_willis_ | you can mount via mount command or a fstab entry normally | 07:24 |
| dr_willis_ | depending on what filesystem its using | 07:24 |
| panorain | ext3 filesystem | 07:24 |
| dr_willis_ | then you should be able to accerrss it fine | 07:25 |
| goodtime | yes panorain | 07:25 |
| panorain | could you help me with the terminal commands a bit? | 07:25 |
| dr_willis_ | !mount | 07:25 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 07:25 |
| dr_willis_ | sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/make-a-directory-first | 07:25 |
| dr_willis_ | sdXX is the location of your fs you want to mount. Use sudo blkid to see where its at | 07:26 |

| dr_willis_ | panorain: of course not | 07:28 |
| panorain | will grub pick it up then? | 07:28 |
| dr_willis_ | grub has NOTHING to do with it. | 07:28 |
| goodtime | remember every thing including hardware is a file in linux unlike windows | 07:28 |
| dr_willis_ | you asked how to mount the filesystem. | 07:28 |
| panorain | how can I get mount to stick through a cold boot | 07:28 |
| oldude67 | panorain, if you run sudo update-grub it will | 07:28 |
| flintser | is grub even able to search partitions from another disk? | 07:28 |
| dr_willis_ | panorain: thats what the fstab file is all about | 07:28 |
| panorain | ahh | 07:28 |
| dr_willis_ | that dosent look like a ext3 filesystem to me either. | 07:28 |
| panorain | will grub pick it up with l-shift on a cold boot then? | 07:29 |
| goodtime | if you overclock it might mess you up on the output for a differnt GUI | 07:29 |
| dr_willis_ | panorain: you rerun 'update-grub' and see if its detected | 07:29 |
| panorain | what does it look like? | 07:29 |
| dr_willis_ | grub dosent scan for the otehr oss.. the update-grub commands do.. then configure grub | 07:29 |
| yacc_ | I just wonder, what during startup configures ethernet devices? It outputs IP-Config: on the console, and it's really fast, udev does not get even enough time usually to rename the devices, which messes up the /etc/network/interfaces based setup. | 07:29 |
| goodtime | but the plasma does suck more resourses | 07:29 |

| dr_willis_ | !java | crazyhorse | 07:33 |
| ubottu | crazyhorse: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| judahitewarrior | flintser: What should I format the hard drive back to, so I can get back into Ubuntu? | 07:39 |
| flintser | judahitewarrior: you formatted the whole drive? you need to install ubuntu again if you did that, since full format wipes the whole disk clean. you need to shrink the ubuntu and create a new partition for the unused space after that. the guide i linked will help you with that once you have ubuntu back | 07:40 |
| goodtime | in the fstab i would first format then mount panorain | 07:41 |
| panorain | I installed bsd through flash drive | 07:41 |

| panorain | bsd is on /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 | 07:48 |
| panorain | ghostbsd gnome frontend same as bsd | 07:48 |
| UBshanky | adamk, I know | 07:48 |
| panorain | gnome 2 | 07:49 |
| panorain | with bsd kernal | 07:49 |
| flintser | judahitewarrior: do you have ubuntu live-media at hand? run it, mount your hard drive (go in the file manager and click on it if you dont want to do it manually) and and use gparted. you can see your partitions there. if it is true that you formatted your whole hd, reformat it and dont do any partitions in it. then try xp install again and see if it shows up. it is also possible that something is wrong in bios, or xp needs some weird | 07:49 |
| flintser | judahitewarrior: also if you can still see the ubuntu in it, you can try to do some grub-fiddling in which i cant help since i sck at it | 07:50 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: see http://bit.ly/15mK78C i'm not sure if that works with your bsd too. add that to the 40_custom file | 07:50 |
| Guest30941 | what is the best linux distro for use with a i7 system using a ssd and a nvidia gtx 670 i thought it was ubuntu but i have a video bug that i cant get fixed and am not sure if ubuntu will be best for me | 07:51 |
| panorain | the one with the chainloader right? | 07:51 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: if you haven't installed a bootloader, you cannot chainload | 07:51 |
| flintser | Guest30941: did you install any nvidia drivers? | 07:51 |
| chaz68 | Hmmm. On update-manager I'm getting "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." | 07:52 |
| Guest30941 | i used the updater and there was only two drivers selectable in the software center and both were buggy | 07:52 |
| panorain | I have grub 2 on my primary hd with lucid right now | 07:52 |
| helmut_ | hi | 07:53 |
| panorain | do I have to have a bootloader on drive 2 for bsd? | 07:53 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: if you haven't installed te bsd-bootloader, you cannot chainload | 07:53 |
| flintser | Guest30941: was it 12.10 ubuntu? if it was you can go to software sources -> additional drivers | 07:53 |
| panorain | oh | 07:53 |
| chaz68 | Something wrong with the repositories today? | 07:53 |
| judahitewarrior | flintser: gparted gives me this error: "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting." | 07:53 |
| panorain | I can't use grub on my primary hd to load bsd then ? | 07:53 |
| panorain | I was reading you could mod grub out | 07:54 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: chainload means "1st bootloader (ubuntu-grub2) loads 2nd bootloader (bsd)" | 07:54 |
| chaz68 | Maybe I just need to re-check / refresh updates... | 07:54 |
| Guest30941 | i tried 12.10 but it kept crashing everytime i tried to open diffrent programs and switched to 12.04 and its still buggy | 07:54 |
| flintser | judahitewarrior: oh sorry! i was completely wrong i see it now, go in the filemanager and unmount the drive. | 07:54 |
| === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` | ||
| panorain | ahh | 07:54 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: have you seen the 2nd/3rd expamples in the bit.ly link? try the 2nd | 07:54 |
| flintser | judahitewarrior: you must not mount the drive before gparted >.< | 07:54 |
| panorain | so put that in my grub now n reinstall bsd with loader? | 07:54 |
| sahil_ | hello | 07:55 |
| snoopybbt | hello there! | 07:55 |
| Guest30941 | i wasnt able to use any mail programs when i had 12.10 on my system | 07:55 |
| sahil_ | does rsync work in ubuntu 12.04 | 07:56 |
| judahitewarrior | flintser: You said go in the filemanager and unmount the drive? I can't exactly find what you're talking about. | 07:56 |
| Guest30941 | i installed the ubuntu restricted on both 12.10 and 12.04 neither helped | 07:57 |
| panorain | im not signed up with that site though | 07:57 |
| bviktor | so, why doesn't 12.10 save my shortcut settings | 07:57 |
| bviktor | it randomly reverts a random subset to their defaults | 07:58 |
| bviktor | after one logout-login, or sometimes two | 07:58 |
| bviktor | (gnome-control-center) | 07:59 |
| Guest30941 | when i go to system settings details graphics the driver for the graphics is unknown | 07:59 |
| panorain | takeitez could I use the example from the first link you sent? | 08:01 |
| panorain | cause I know kernal is in /boot/loader on the newer bsd | 08:01 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: try it | 08:01 |
| panorain | or whatnot I read that | 08:01 |
| sahil_ | hello is rsync terminal dependent?? | 08:01 |
| bviktor | dependent? | 08:02 |
| panorain | so im gonna add it to my 40 file an save it right | 08:02 |
| TakeItEZ | sahil_: its a cli-app, yes. use grsync if you want a gui | 08:02 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: yes, then "sudo update-grub" | 08:02 |
| sahil_ | i was trying rysnc is the terminal made by elementary team it didnt work | 08:02 |
| panorain | is says roo hd0 though | 08:03 |
| panorain | is that gonna work with sbc1? | 08:03 |
| panorain | or sdb sdb1 excuse me | 08:03 |
| panorain | do I need to change that? | 08:03 |
| sahil_ | _TakeItEZ oh..i dint know i guess then rsync is absent perhaps... whats the package name? | 08:03 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: use (hd1,1) | 08:04 |
| TakeItEZ | !info rsync | 08:04 |
| ubottu | rsync (source: rsync): fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool. In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.9-3ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 292 kB, installed size 620 kB | 08:04 |
| panorain | set root=(hd0,1,a) ?????? | 08:04 |
| panorain | so | 08:04 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: did your bsd use slices? | 08:04 |
| panorain | no full drive | 08:04 |
| sahil_ | tHNX :) | 08:05 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: well, then (hd1,1) ... afaik (hd1,1,a) would be 1st slice. sorry its years ago i last used some bsd-stuff | 08:05 |
| panorain | so do the hd1,1 ? | 08:06 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: you'd better ask that in a bsd-channel | 08:06 |

| Aci | Hi, can someone help with ndiswrapper I have the driver installed, the device is detected but sudo modprobe ndiswrapper does nothing, I've tried different drivers, followed the docs but nothing has worked | 08:07 |
| panorain | update grub now then | 08:08 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: grep menuent /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see the created grub-entries (don't paste them again, read them) | 08:08 |
| panorain | ok | 08:09 |
| panorain | what am I looking for I got 3 bsd entries at the bottom of file | 08:09 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: well, so you still have your ubuntu-entries? reboot and test the bsd stuff then, you always may boot back into ubuntu | 08:10 |
| panorain | 11 menuent in red | 08:10 |
| panorain | yes this looks promising | 08:10 |
| TakeItEZ | 11 entries? seems grub has found your bsd now too panorain | 08:10 |
| panorain | what else am I missing before reinstalling bsd with the bootloader? | 08:10 |
| ejv | Aci: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper | 08:10 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: maybe read the bsd-manual | 08:11 |
| panorain | I know i'm working on that | 08:11 |
| panorain | i've been reading since 10 am it now 2 am | 08:11 |
| panorain | I am slow no doubt | 08:11 |
| panorain | I really like lucid lynx | 08:11 |
| TakeItEZ | panorain: if your bsd in freebsd-based, read the freebsd-handbook. its one of the best documentations you can get | 08:11 |
| panorain | i know | 08:12 |
| panorain | I will be doing that | 08:12 |

| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 08:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | does anyone know why when I run virtual box on my ubuntu 12.10 x64 host in another tty x11 session it suddenly has fewer graphic abilities (aero stopped working in windows 7 guest) but when ran normally from the original x11 session started when you log in graphics are fine (aero works in windows 7 guest)? | 08:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | the command I used is "xinit virtualbox -- :1" | 08:17 |
| ejv | Aci: file a new bug report and list your hardware; let them decide for you. | 08:18 |
| ejv | ShapeShifter499: probably best to try #vbox or the vbox-dev mailing list | 08:19 |
| ejv | ShapeShifter499: oh and https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker | 08:20 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ejv, I'll try that thanks | 08:22 |

| burtonium | raedov: go to blender website and download package from there | 08:33 |
| burtonium | raedov: and unpack it where you want it to be, you don't need to install it. Just run the binary | 08:34 |
| ikonia | sahil_: you can copy it - but not move it | 08:34 |
| ikonia | sahil_: something is using your /home directory, so yo ucan't move it | 08:34 |
| sahil_ | umm may be xchat?? i enabled logging? | 08:34 |

| sahil_ | okey so after copying can i do rm ? | 08:37 |
| ikonia | sahil_: not if something is using it | 08:37 |
| ejv | if you completely log out as your normal user, and login directly as root, you could then perform that /mv operation; but that's not recommeded practice here. | 08:37 |
| sahil_ | _ikonika cp: omitting directory `/home' | 08:38 |
| sahil_ | :/ | 08:38 |

| sahil_ | okey then i can copy the content of the clone directory to the new home? | 08:53 |
| panorain | ikonia i'm sorry | 08:53 |
| ikonia | sahil_: you're syncing /home to /media/home - that is your new home directory | 08:54 |
| panorain | mount comes back with only /dev/sda1 on ext4 mounted | 08:54 |
| ikonia | sahil_: what are you trying to do exactly | 08:54 |
| ikonia | sahil_: as you seem to be copying a directory, removing the directory then moving it back, which makes no sense | 08:54 |
| ikonia | sahil_: what exactly do you want to do | 08:54 |
| ejv | technically it's a new "copy" of his home directory; until he mounts home at that position or sets up a symlink | 08:54 |
| sahil_ | i have made a new partion named home, um now i wish to move my current home to the new home along with all the content | 08:55 |
| ikonia | sahil_: where is your new partition mounted ? | 08:55 |
| sahil_ | currently there is nothing in the new partion other den lost and found | 08:56 |
| ikonia | sahil_: where is it mounted | 08:56 |
| ejv | he's not asking you what's inside of it, he's asking where you access it, it's location | 08:56 |
| ikonia | sahil_: please answer the questions I ask - nothing else | 08:56 |
| sahil_ | i dont know i havnt assigned | 08:56 |
| ikonia | sahil_: ok - so this is very simple | 08:56 |
| ikonia | sahil_: please give me the partition name of your new /home partition | 08:56 |
| sahil_ | Home | 08:57 |

| ikonia | sahil_: that's ok | 09:05 |
| ejv | sahil_: if you want more stdout data you can use additional rsync flags like --verbose, --progress, --stats, and --log-file=<target>; you'd do well to read the rsync documentation. | 09:05 |

| ikonia | sahil_: ok - so lets get it mounted, then we'll tidy up | 09:10 |
| number-7 | what do i do? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | sahil_: look in the file /etc/fstab, do you see the line that shows your current /home directory and it's partition identifier ? | 09:10 |
| sahil_ | so i cut paste manually? | 09:10 |
| Ben64 | number-7: get a new wifi card? | 09:10 |

| sahil_ | _takeitez so doing from x wont give me this error mv: cannot move `/home' to `/old_home/home': Device or resource busy | 09:23 |
| number-7 | wow, that Monoprice thing is so tiny, lol | 09:23 |
| MindSpark | ok, peeps, here is one for you. Not necessarily on linux (I am currently on a mac), but I guess you could help me out. Our internal DNS servers are pretty bad, they lock me out of hte internet quite often, so I decided to switch to openDNS. However there are a couple of hosts that are resolved internally with a local domain. Is it possible to kind of set certain hosts to be looked up using specific DNS and the rest on the default one? | 09:24 |
| TakeItEZ | sahil_: you cannot mv /home while logged in in X, there are files open. "pwd" should give you "/home/sahil" then | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | MindSpark: you could just put them in /etc/hosts | 09:25 |
| ejv | MindSpark: yup, there is. | 09:25 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: you know the rules | 09:25 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: we support ubuntu here | 09:25 |
| Ben64 | oh mac, i just skimmed the question heh | 09:25 |
| sahil_ | _takeitez i need to log out first right? | 09:25 |
| ejv | i love yes/no questions, my favorite! | 09:25 |
| TakeItEZ | sahil_: yes | 09:25 |
| TakeItEZ | sahil_: _i'd do_ "sudo umount /tmp/new_home" then logout from X, login at console (alt-ctrl-f1), there "cd /tmp" "sudo mv /home /old_home && sudo mkdir /home && sudo mount /home" then "cd; pwd" | 09:25 |
| TakeItEZ | sahil_: in that order | 09:26 |
| MindSpark | Ben64: I tried that, but that doesn't help. Because apache on that specific host simply does not know how it's called (the hostname is not sent) | 09:26 |
| MindSpark | so it doesn't open the right page, if that makes any sense | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | MindSpark: thats why this is an ubuntu channel | 09:27 |
| sahil_ | okey lets give it a shot | 09:27 |
| number-7 | how do i load windows 3.1? | 09:27 |
| MindSpark | hmmm… sorry about that. Back in my times, linux people were kind of interested in anything related to OS/computers | 09:27 |
| smokie | hey guys, im trying to run something that requires ruby, when i run it, its giving me this msg: Redmine requires Bundler 1.0.21 (you're using 1.0.15). Please install a newer version with `gem install bundler`. | 09:28 |

| MindSpark | things* | 09:28 |
| smokie | does anyone know how to maybe restart gem or ruby? | 09:28 |
| MindSpark | is ruby ubuntu? | 09:28 |
| number-7 | and doenst ubuntu come with wine? | 09:28 |

| crazyhorse | i'm finding chromium on ubuntu is very "sluggish" | 09:30 |
| crazyhorse | and crashes constantly | 09:30 |
| crazyhorse | is it shit for everyone else too? | 09:30 |
| bloopletech | The first problem is that the /etc/alternatives script for the libgl1-mesa-glx package got run, which adds a symlink in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ that points to the mesa libGL.so. | 09:30 |
| smokie | MindSpark, what do you mean? | 09:30 |
| ejv | MindSpark: there's always #linux and #ubuntu-offtopic / #ubuntu-discuss; good luck to you. | 09:30 |
| bloopletech | So any process that tried to use libgl.so tried to use software mode when the nvidia driver was already running and so it barfed all over itself | 09:31 |
| MindSpark | ejv: here's the thing, hadn't I mentioned "mac", noone would have even noticed | 09:31 |
| ejv | MindSpark: lesson learned. | 09:31 |
| MindSpark | smokie: nevermind... | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | except when it didn't work | 09:31 |
| Ben64 | because macs are weird | 09:31 |
| MindSpark | alright, so I have this ubuntu box… ;) | 09:32 |
| MindSpark | and I am trying to set DNS up | 09:32 |
| Ben64 | nope | 09:32 |
| MindSpark | thought so. machines | 09:32 |
| bloopletech | Fixing that got me a desktop background only after login | 09:32 |
| crazyhorse | anyone else use chromium? it's pretty unusable.. i'm just on 12.04, blank install | 09:32 |
| packetfrog | MindSpark They answered your question either way. | 09:32 |
| bloopletech | A couple of hours later, it turns out the reason there's no unity shell is because... the unity shell plugin is disabled! | 09:33 |
| MindSpark | packetfrog: who did? | 09:33 |
| bloopletech | I can only assume that when unity wouldn't start because of the opengl problem, compiz preventatively disabled the unityshell plugin | 09:33 |
| number-7 | how do i load ubunto and XP on the same comp? | 09:33 |
| bloopletech | GRARGH | 09:33 |
| bloopletech | there. Now I feel better | 09:33 |

| lordcyfer | Hello everybody | 09:35 |
| packetfrog | MindSparj /private/etc/hosts mac equiv | 09:35 |
| bloopletech | MindSpark, what's the issue? | 09:35 |
| Ben64 | MindSpark, packetfrog, bloopletech: its a mac issue, doesn't belong in #ubuntu | 09:35 |
| bloopletech | I'm sure it doesn't | 09:35 |
| MindSpark | I am in a network that has some hosts configured to run internally using a domain that only resolves on the local dns | 09:35 |
| MindSpark | however this dns is quite bad and keeps dropping every few minutes, and I decided to use open dns instead | 09:36 |
| MindSpark | but now, these internal hosts are not being resolved | 09:36 |
| packetfrog | Cant you just add those ones in specifically | 09:36 |
| MindSpark | packetfrog: are you still talking about /etc/hosts | 09:36 |
| MindSpark | ? | 09:36 |
| lordcyfer | I need to list of packages use for the keyboard mapping for the desktop environment ? I am doing a very light automatic install. | 09:36 |
| bloopletech | And the clients or the servers are linux boxes >_> ? | 09:37 |
| sahil | _takeitez still showing device busy : | 09:37 |
| packetfrog | So you are using opendns now? | 09:37 |
| MindSpark | bloopletech: some are linux, some are others | 09:38 |
| packetfrog | and it says what when trying to resolve a local host? | 09:38 |
| MindSpark | packetfrog: yes, I am | 09:38 |
| MindSpark | packetfrog: it routes me to the opendns search page | 09:38 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| ejv | MindSpark: I'm going to be the voice of profressional reason here and say that if you're using company equipment, it's a bad idea to start circumventing their DNS. Tread carefully. | 09:39 |
| MistahSpooky | yo | 09:39 |
| packetfrog | Why cant you just add the specific IP's in the host files? | 09:39 |
| MindSpark | packetfrog: I am not sure how familiar you are with webservers, but is I set a virtualhost myserver.bla on an internal webserver and it doesn't point to the docroot, then browsing to that server using the ip won't show the page you're looking for | 09:40 |
| ejv | MindSpark: That being said, if you could find a local linux platform, you could probably use something like Dnsmasq to configure a DNS forwarder for your $HARDWARE. | 09:40 |
| MistahSpooky | im having trouble with usb mounting | 09:40 |
| packetfrog | hmm | 09:40 |

| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: ^^ sry MistahSpooky | 09:40 |
| MistahSpooky | haha | 09:41 |
| Guest41676 | Hi | 09:41 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: I could if I know the directory structure... | 09:41 |
| cute_walker | which tools or packages should i use ? | 09:41 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: if you add them to hosts-file, you just access them by hostname as usual | 09:41 |
| MindSpark | ejv: why do you think it's a bad idea? | 09:41 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: thats the matter of the hosts-file | 09:42 |
| Guest41676 | I need help with running Ubuntu inside VirtualBox on Windows 8. Can anybody assist? | 09:42 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: please read my last message to packetfrog | 09:42 |
| Jeeves_moss | Guest41676, what did you do? | 09:42 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: well, seems you aren't very familiar how hostnames are resolved | 09:42 |
| MistahSpooky | on windows 8? hhhmmmmm | 09:42 |
| Jeeves_moss | MistahSpooky, you should try it. it's annoying | 09:43 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: maybe. But it's still not what I need | 09:43 |
| packetfrog | MindSpark How else do you connect to the webserver if not ip? | 09:43 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: your webserver uses vhosts by hostname, you access them by hostname, so what is your problem? | 09:43 |
| Guest41676 | I installed 12.10 inside VirtualBox and rebooted. The system started. I see X-screen. I do not see any login prompt/window. | 09:43 |
| panorain | TakeItEZ can I ask you another question? | 09:43 |
| === vivek is now known as Guest19002 | ||
| packetfrog | Two cans and a string? :))) | 09:43 |
| MistahSpooky | yeah ived tried messing with it but i dont like it...nor do i like the gnome3 | 09:43 |
| Jeeves_moss | Guest41676, do you have network access to the vbox? if so, shell in | 09:44 |
| ejv | MindSpark: worst case scenario, someone breaks into that system, and starts DNS spoofing / poisoning systems within your workplace. Pink slips hilarity follows. | 09:44 |
| Guest41676 | I do not know. How can I check? | 09:44 |
| MistahSpooky | Jeeves_moss they want a program that can do it for them im assuming | 09:44 |
| panorain | should the insmod in the 40_custom grub file be set zfs for filesystem ? | 09:44 |
| Jeeves_moss | Guest41676, please tag your reply to me so I see it. And how did you set up the networking? NATed, or direct? | 09:45 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: alright, I'll try to explain this again. Maybe I wasn't very clear. So there's a local webserver. It has some running sites, I don't know how this server is set up internally. I.e. I don't have info on virtualhosts and so on. If I connect to that server using ip, I will be sent to document root, and to none of the virtual hosts... | 09:45 |
| MistahSpooky | yo Jeeves how do you tag | 09:46 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: read from my lips: you don't access that host by IP! | 09:46 |
| Jeeves_moss | MindSpark, go look in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 09:46 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: http://weird-srever.local | 09:46 |
| Guest41676 | to <Jeeves_moss>: I used directions from couple of sites. Neither of them said a word about network configuration. I used default. | 09:46 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: good, so I access it by hostname? | 09:46 |
| Jeeves_moss | MistahSpooky, if you start to type my name, and hit tab, it should auto fill. Otherwise, add my name, and a , | 09:46 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: that is why you should add it to hosts-file | 09:46 |
| MindSpark | oh god | 09:47 |
| Touhou11 | panorain: That just means it's loading support for the zfs filesystem as a kernel module afaik | 09:47 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: 1.2.3.4 my.server1.local my.server2.local | 09:47 |
| MistahSpooky | nive | 09:47 |
| Jeeves_moss | Guest41676, sorry then, I'm not sure. Do you have the URLs to hte "howtos" handy? | 09:47 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: what does the hosts file do? | 09:47 |
| MistahSpooky | nice | 09:47 |
| jpds | MindSpark: Yeah, you'll have to add it to the hosts file to trick it into thinking you're coming in from the domain. | 09:47 |
| MindSpark | internally it just translates some name to some ip address | 09:47 |
| Jeeves_moss | MindSpark, it translates host names into IPs locally (not DNS) | 09:47 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: if you dont even know that, why do you refuse to accept that solution? | 09:47 |
| Ben64 | why are we filling the chat with mac support now? | 09:47 |
| panorain | Touhou11 should I add zfs after insmod? | 09:47 |
| MindSpark | Ben64: meanwhile I switched to ubuntu ;) | 09:48 |
| Ben64 | lies | 09:48 |
| MistahSpooky | Ben64, mac and windows | 09:48 |
| Ben64 | take it somewhere else | 09:48 |

| MistahSpooky | anyone had that problem | 09:49 |
| panorain | Or at least I believe it does at this point | 09:50 |
| MistahSpooky | ever since an update it went wakko | 09:50 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: just for your info. Your "solution" does not work. Because I tried it before I even got in here | 09:50 |
| MindSpark | now take it ez | 09:50 |
| panorain | there is a set root=(.....) under the insmod line what device should be added? | 09:51 |
| panorain | would it be the drive output of sudo fdisk -l ? | 09:51 |
| MistahSpooky | panorian, is that directed at me? | 09:51 |
| packetfrog | MistahSpooky what version | 09:51 |
| MistahSpooky | packetfrog, 12.04 | 09:51 |
| panorain | if you could help MistahSpooky that would be great | 09:52 |
| l057c0d3r | sorry just joined what is MistahSpooky problem/question | 09:52 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, thing is it reads it in disk util but wont mount | 09:52 |
| tcarter | is there any way to get a libc++ clang (not libstdc++) in 12.10 or 13.04 without recompiling clang from scratch? | 09:53 |
| panorain | yes MistahSpooky I am having a mounting issue with the drive containing BSD | 09:53 |
| TakeItEZ | MindSpark: for your info: its a mac-issue then, it works fine with linux | 09:54 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, you are? or am i? hahaha im having issues with that too | 09:54 |
| MindSpark | TakeItEZ: then you still do not understand my problem | 09:54 |
| panorain | no I am having problems I am a noob who needs to chill | 09:54 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, haha what ubuntu are you runnin? | 09:55 |
| panorain | MistahSpookey are you setting up GhostBSD on a seperate drive from Ubuntu? | 09:55 |
| panorain | I am running Lucid Lynx 10.04 | 09:55 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, no i used dd to flash the iso to the thumb drive | 09:55 |
| panorain | yes I have the image on a thumb drive myself MistahSpookey | 09:56 |
| panorain | MistahSpookey I have installed GhostBSD on an individual hd | 09:56 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, check if it shows up in disk utility | 09:56 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, if it does then you might be able to mount it from there | 09:57 |
| panorain | It does show up but with unknown filesystem MistahSpooky | 09:57 |
| l057c0d3r | ok i think i understand now.. so you have a volume that has a bsd on it.. and you can't get it to mount | 09:57 |
| l057c0d3r | correct?? | 09:57 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, and why are you running 10.04? its not supported anymore | 09:57 |
| bviktor | just upgrade to 13.04 rofl | 09:58 |
| bviktor | it's sooooo stable | 09:58 |
| panorain | well Mistah Spookey I didn't like 12.04 enough to swap out quite yet | 09:58 |
| l057c0d3r | bviktor, i myself dont mind 12.10 with gnome | 09:58 |
| l057c0d3r | and a but load of extensions to fix it so it feels like a better system... | 09:58 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, you know you can install 12.04 or 12.10 and install gnome panel so it looks like 10.04 | 09:59 |
| bviktor | yeah, i love those random error reports | 09:59 |

| panorain | I did not know that MistahSpooky | 09:59 |
| bviktor | and i also love how the networkmanager guys explain why it's perfectly fine for me (even though it is NOT) | 09:59 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, yeah thats what i use i dont like unity verry much,,,,go figure | 10:00 |
| l057c0d3r | bviktor, sounds like a setting issue. because mine never ask me for network password | 10:00 |
| bviktor | no it's not a setting | 10:00 |
| MistahSpooky | bviktor, ahahahaha | 10:00 |
| bviktor | it's a known bug | 10:00 |

| MistahSpooky | i despise gnome3 | 10:01 |
| l057c0d3r | however gnome-shell is not bad.. u can add a few extensions to make it just like gnome2 was... or even make it better | 10:01 |
| bviktor | wtf | 10:01 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky that would be awesome | 10:01 |

| MistahSpooky | panorain, no i mean the hard drive that wont mount...was it always bsd? | 12:08 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky all I did was pull the PATA cable off my LucidLynx drive and plug into BSD but that sucks really I wanted dual bootability | 12:08 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky no the drive loads great as primary im in GhostBSD login menu now | 12:08 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky nothing wrong with HD sectors on this drive | 12:09 |
| flintser | crazyhorse: you can use konsole for tabs, i cant be sure if it works in unity though | 12:09 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, so you want to have both plugged in? and just pick at startup which one to load? | 12:09 |
| panorain | I just wanted to have them both hooked up to this pc with a grub menu | 12:09 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky yes | 12:09 |
| noaXess | i also see the update manager ;).. but no more unity things.. no logout/shutdown ions.. | 12:10 |
| noaXess | icons ^ | 12:10 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, if you want to do that then they both have to be primary you cant have slave | 12:10 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky I only have 1 PATA cable how can I make both the drives primary? | 12:11 |
| Letatcest | no one on mic problems google voice chat/hangouts? :| | 12:12 |
| grahamsavage | sorry dropped out | 12:12 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, ive tried that but it doesnt work...they both have to be primary and you pick from the bios not the grub....grub is only to pick for parttionss on one drive | 12:12 |

| panorain | MistahSpooky that does make sense so I will revert my grub 40 file back reupdate grub | 12:13 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky jumper settings? | 12:13 |

| MistahSpooky | Dulcin, ok cuz theres more to it | 12:23 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky all the links were pretty direct and helpful | 12:23 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky my bios doesn't enable either harddrive only C:\ | 12:24 |
| MistahSpooky | Dulcin, after you do the get the wget and do the update you gotta run apt-get remove empathy empathy-common | 12:24 |
| Dulcin | MistahSpooky, rebooting now, so brb | 12:24 |
| HeKToN | MistahSpooky, I mean that I`m so beginner with everything don`t even know what is equal to programfiles in ubuntu.... | 12:24 |
| panorain | I guess I can work around it | 12:24 |
| panorain | I never messed much with fdisk and gparted before yesterday | 12:24 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, yup haha hoped i helped some tho | 12:25 |
| MistahSpooky | HeKToN, dont worry you learn as you go | 12:25 |
| HeKToN | anyway which one is equal to it :D | 12:26 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky you did help i'm going to learn more about zfs file system | 12:26 |
| MistahSpooky | HeKToN, you wont learn until you encounter a problem, then you expand | 12:26 |
| HeKToN | makes sense :) | 12:27 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky or get a migraine | 12:27 |

| panorain | MistaSpooky I should | 12:28 |
| HeKToN | programfiles folder on windows is equal to which one in linux | 12:29 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, for gparted try the wikis its a long read but its worth it | 12:29 |

| panorain | MistahSpooky I have been really liking the Launchpad anwsers | 12:30 |
| TakeItEZ | !fhs | HeKToN: there is no real equivalent | 12:30 |
| ubottu | HeKToN: there is no real equivalent: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 12:30 |
| grahamsavage | in terminal what is the paste command? | 12:30 |
| flintser | HeKToN: i believe it is /usr/bin :) | 12:30 |
| MistahSpooky | HeKToN, sorry i still dont understand hahaha sleepyness kickin in | 12:30 |
| TakeItEZ | grahamsavage: pastebinit, if installed | 12:30 |
| grahamsavage | oh sorry, i mean paste shortcut | 12:31 |
| HeKToN | :) | 12:31 |
| HeKToN | thanks | 12:31 |
| grahamsavage | copy/paste shortcut | 12:31 |
| grahamsavage | ctrl-c does - cancel | 12:31 |
| grahamsavage | ctrl-v doesn't work | 12:31 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, launchpad is good just make sure you read the links that are current...some still talk about old stuff | 12:31 |
| flintser | HeKToN: although it wont be the same, but the /usr/bin or the /usr/ in whole act as where you will find your binaries what you run | 12:31 |
| grahamsavage | i've done right click paste about 1000 times today | 12:31 |
| HeKToN | so if I need to find firefox for example I need to go into this folders? | 12:32 |
| MistahSpooky | TakeItEZ, where have you been hahaha i had to solve problems on my own for a while until other showed up or woke up haha | 12:33 |
| TakeItEZ | HeKToN: "which firefox" will tell you, where the binary is (if it exists) | 12:33 |
| panorain | MistahSpooky should I consider getting rid of LucidLynx soon? | 12:33 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, well yeah its not maintained and theres no more updates for it | 12:34 |
| TakeItEZ | HeKToN: usually you won't have to cruise through the filesystem to run things, most is in your $PATH(a variable holding pathes to binaries/scrips) | 12:34 |
| HeKToN | hm much more convenient than windows | 12:35 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky I have been getting updates daily for it there was just a flash update yesterday | 12:35 |
| andybrine | hey guys, im just trying to install adobe air though wine with numerous problems. Has anyone managed to install it? | 12:35 |
| andybrine | adobe have made a right balls up | 12:36 |
| Machtin | Hey guys, is there any direct way to use skydrive like dropbox on ubuntu? Direct meaning not having to use some third-party site? | 12:36 |
| andybrine | have searched everywhere and unable to find a solution] | 12:36 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, yeah but its the last year,, after that then your really out | 12:36 |
| Fra_ButBut_ | Plop all | 12:37 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky yes theres alot of reading etc though thats relatively the same. Unity seemed so odd when I installed 12.04 | 12:38 |
| n8w | is this a correct syntax for imagemagic to keep updating a given image? display image.jpg -update 1 ? | 12:38 |
| TakeItEZ | Machtin: does t support webdav? then use that | 12:38 |
| MistahSpooky | andybrine, adobe is a jerk....they dropped support for linux awhile back | 12:38 |
| param_ | how to launch vm in ubuntu using QEMU ? | 12:38 |
| flintser | HeKToN: for example to create a shortcut to chromium browser at your desktop you'd create text-file at desktop called "chromium" and write "#!/bin/bash <enter> /usr/bin/chromium-browser" in it. that is the equivalent of running /usr/bin/chromium-browser at your terminal. | 12:38 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, yeah but you can install gnome pannel and at the login choose gnome instead of unity and your back | 12:39 |
| ikonia | param_: same way as a normal install | 12:39 |
| ikonia | param_: a vm should be treated the same way | 12:39 |
| andybrine | MistahSpooky, yeah i know they are rubbish | 12:39 |
| andybrine | i just need to install something and at the moment I am unable to due to a conflict with adobe air | 12:40 |
| Machtin | TakeItEZ: I think it does to some extent. Didn't find out how to get the adress though | 12:40 |
| HeKToN | what will be the extension ? | 12:40 |
| TakeItEZ | HeKToN: fileextensions are for humans only, files don't need any | 12:40 |
| flintser | HeKToN: you dont need one :) | 12:40 |
| panorain | MistahGoofy I should probably get moving with it within the next month i'm not super worried about it right now | 12:41 |
| flintser | though ubuntu handles xyz.desktop differently than just xyz | 12:41 |
| flintser | but that is another thing | 12:41 |
| panorain | MistaSpooky have you ever stumbled on Slitaz? | 12:41 |
| MistahSpooky | andybrine, try finding an older version of adobe air for linux and use that...way easier | 12:41 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, yeah i have a cd of the latest one | 12:42 |
| andybrine | managed to get is resolved :) | 12:43 |
| peppo | anyone running 12.10 and Chrome and experiencing Flash fullscreen performance issues? (Flash in Chromium and Firefox is OK) | 12:43 |
| SpecialEmily | whats the current state of installing ubuntu on a mac mini? | 12:43 |
| MistahSpooky | andybrine, what did you do? | 12:43 |
| andybrine | adobe air is such crap but when its needed what can you do :) | 12:43 |
| flcl | what is the command to zip single or few files? | 12:43 |
| andybrine | i just installed the application through play onlinux and it installed adobe air with it | 12:44 |
| dr_willis_ | flcl: checked zip --help for its ussage? | 12:44 |
| TakeItEZ | flcl: man zip (zip foo.zip bar) | 12:44 |
| MistahSpooky | andybrine, ah yes playonlinux haha | 12:44 |
| Machtin | TakeItEZ: I think I got the link to the webdav, but it doesn't seem to just login if I enter webdav://docs.live.com/<mycid> in dolphin, but gets redirected to a login-page | 12:45 |
| MistahSpooky | panorain, why do you ask about slitaz | 12:46 |
| andybrine | playonlinux is awesome :) | 12:46 |
| SpecialEmily | Can someone suggest a mac-mini style device I can run a high-end ubuntu machine on? | 12:46 |

| Milestone5 | hey guys | 13:09 |
| flintser | dawkirst_: if you want to join the computer to the domain, i've used likewise-open succesfully, you need to create the approppriate entry for the domain dns first though. | 13:11 |
| dr_willis_ | Chaitanya: whats to help? you reformat and reinstall.. | 13:12 |
| queer1 | just upgraded from 12.04 LTS to 12.10, or so I thought, on "upgrade" accidentally created new home folder and user, how do I go back? | 13:13 |
| dr_willis_ | queer1: clarify what you mean.. | 13:13 |
| dawkirst_ | somsip, flintser thanks | 13:14 |
| Chaitanya | dr_willis_: Thanks, Thats what i am doing downgrading to 12.04 | 13:15 |
| queer1 | during "upgrade" process, then user setup, no option to resume current user. therefore new user was created along with corresponding home folder | 13:15 |
| === circ-user-q84SX is now known as Ozzyboshi | ||
| queer1 | I want to go back to old user and back to 12.04 LTS | 13:16 |
| jpds | queer1: Wait, so you used a CD to reinstall with an upgrade? | 13:16 |
| dr_willis_ | queer1: what upgrade process? theres no downgradeing.. you reinstall. | 13:16 |
| queer1 | correct | 13:16 |
| dr_willis_ | if your /home/ was on its own partion. you should have told the installer where /home/ was at. | 13:16 |
| dr_willis_ | you can move /home/ to its own partition affterwards | 13:16 |
| jpds | queer1: I think you could of entered the old user details and it would of used that. | 13:17 |
| jpds | dr_willis_: The installer can do a reinstall while preserving /home automagically. | 13:17 |
| dr_willis_ | jpds: must be a new feature. ;) | 13:17 |
| koooli | ( https://github.com/osdlyrics/osdlyrics ) osdlyrics in "osd" mode shows lyrics at the top-left side of desktop, But in gnome-shell the lyrics goes under the top bar?! | 13:17 |
| jpds | dr_willis_: Been around for.... two releases? | 13:17 |
| queer1 | used current partition. during install used "upgrade" option | 13:17 |
| jpds | dr_willis_: You select a / partition and unmark the format flag. | 13:18 |
| jpds | dr_willis_: Then it rm's everything but /home and installs everything. | 13:18 |
| dr_willis_ | jpds: hmm.. i recall always seeing a warning when doing that. ;) but i tend to do clean installs. | 13:18 |
| queer1 | didnt give me that option | 13:18 |
| jpds | queer1: That's another option. | 13:18 |
| dr_willis_ | got my home on its own partition. :) like a good little tux. | 13:18 |
| queer1 | used graphic install interface | 13:19 |
| flintser | dr_willis_: i think it asks at the beginning of install if you want to a) auto-everything b) preserve user-files and do auto-restofit c) do own partitioning | 13:20 |
| queer1 | i still have my old /home folder but that user is not usable now | 13:20 |
| Milestone5 | i always do c) | 13:21 |

| ztane | decci: it is only for ip addresses that are directly connectable, any others go through the gateway | 13:44 |
| decci | ztane: Random IP??? what you mean? | 13:44 |
| ztane | 81.140.78.x. in this case is a RANDOM IP... | 13:44 |
| ztane | it is outside of your colleagues local network obviously | 13:45 |

Can I make some virtual adapters on it and use vpn and connect some stuff together so my test machine from virtualbox would feel like it is inside a private lan with my server? Any ideas on this one? | 16:34 |
| yeehaw | marksaitis: Virtualbox already supports host networking doesn't it? | 16:35 |
| mz` | marksaitis: use a pvlan adapter directly | 16:35 |
| mz` | yeehaw: exactly | 16:35 |
| yeehaw | marksaitis: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html | 16:35 |
| marksaitis | yeehaw, it does... but the scenario I am speeking is a bit more complicated isnt it | 16:35 |
| marksaitis | pvlan ? | 16:36 |
| marksaitis | my linux server has no GUI | 16:36 |
| marksaitis | and i am in my home network and server is in datacentre | 16:36 |

| marksaitis | mz`, yes. vm is on my home computer :) | 16:37 |
| marksaitis | and it will be changing locations | 16:37 |

| mz` | marksaitis: yup, vpn on the server, client on vm | 16:37 |
| mz` | yeehaw: :) | 16:38 |
| marksaitis | yeah for sure :))) I was thinking whether openvpn is the only way | 16:38 |
| mz` | ssh tunnel ? | 16:38 |
| yeehaw | marksaitis: Or IPSEC or anything like that | 16:38 |
| marksaitis | I can't do client on vm, I need my vm to feel like in the network even before OS boots :) | 16:38 |

| marksaitis | mz`, yeehaw I suppose I connect my HOST thru openvpn and then bridge my vm with tap adapter | 16:40 |
| === Corren is now known as kenperkins | ||
| oconnore | mz`: I know that. It's supported with multiarch. | 16:41 |
| oconnore | mz`: or at least, it's supposed to be supported. | 16:41 |
| yeehaw | marksaitis: I think that will work without connecting the adapters if you NAT the vm to the host | 16:41 |
| oconnore | mz`: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures -> i386 | 16:41 |
| marksaitis | I wish there was an quick and easy straight forward openvpn install guide :D | 16:42 |
| yeehaw | s/to/trough/ | 16:42 |

| yeehaw | Ntemis: First of all, did you chmod 777 the complete filesystem? | 16:51 |
| Ntemis | yes | 16:51 |
| yeehaw | Ntemis: I would suggest a complete reinstall. Fixing that will be an utter pain in the ass. Salvage all important data to dropbox or something like that and reinstall | 16:51 |

| Ntemis | why 777 hurts so much | 16:53 |

| blazemore | Oh | 16:55 |
| blazemore | Do that, then | 16:55 |

| yeehaw | Ntemis: There is no data on it? | 16:55 |
| Ntemis | some gigs | 16:55 |
| blazemore | bijoo: Have you tried using the built-in driver installer tool? | 16:55 |
| Ntemis | not much | 16:55 |
| Ntemis | i can stop raid, reformat and re mount | 16:56 |
| bijoo | blazemore: the built-in driver installer tool? Is that the J- something? I actually have not, but I'll try googling it right now. | 16:56 |

| Ntemis | from web links | 16:57 |
| blazemore | bijoo: that should be the first thing to try | 16:57 |

| bijoo | Oh ok.Thanks blazemore . | 16:57 |
| yeehaw | Ntemis: That's a big place you know, the internet | 16:57 |

| lordcyfer | You need a distribution upgrade | 17:14 |
| lordcyfer | sudo su - | 17:14 |

| lordcyfer | then | 17:14 |

| lordcyfer | @thinkn if you use the standard package | 17:32 |
| lordcyfer | oh no the client sorry | 17:32 |

| shark | No, they can't | 17:33 |
| shark | you should . | 17:33 |
| tjingboem | pitty | 17:33 |
| thinkn | lordcyfer, add the command "et" ? then of "/etc/rc.local" ? didnt quite get it | 17:34 |
| lordcyfer | rc.local | 17:34 |
| lordcyfer | is the last script execute before the login | 17:34 |
| thinkn | instead of init.d ? | 17:34 |
| thinkn | oh | 17:35 |
| shark | Is possible i change my desktop interface, i mean the task bar, ? change all the icon of ubuntu or replace it to another icons like backtrack icon ? | 17:35 |
| thinkn | i see | 17:35 |

| eipi10 | #join #linux-kernel | 17:35 |
| thinkn | thnks again | 17:35 |
| lordcyfer | init.d is a folder containing the services | 17:35 |
| lordcyfer | then you have the rcX.d | 17:35 |
| lordcyfer | with X as a runlevel | 17:35 |
| lordcyfer | You don't need all of that | 17:36 |
| llutz | !runlevel | lordcyfer | 17:36 |
| ubottu | lordcyfer: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 17:36 |
| thinkn | lordcyfer, i know, but was thikning you maybe meant i should move it there or something.. didnt understand it at first, but i doo now | 17:36 |
| llutz | !upstart | lordcyfer | 17:36 |
| ubottu | lordcyfer: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 17:36 |

| Capprentice | oh. Ok | 17:49 |
| zAo^ | Capprentice: what is it called in the repos? | 17:49 |
| Capprentice | Just teamviewer | 17:50 |

| zAo^ | ah, there you go. | 17:50 |
| holstein | zAo^: i do use it to and from osx, and it works well | 17:50 |
| zAo^ | vnc should work though | 17:50 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Guest16482 | ||
| holstein | zAo^: should.. but is it server side? can you connect locally on the mac? | 17:50 |
| delinquentme | so I think I'm trying to add the bundler path to my $PATH var ... in my ~/.bashrc .. ja? | 17:51 |
| holstein | zAo^: yes... teamviewer works to and from osx.. i use it to and from osx | 17:51 |
| zAo^ | holstein: yes: vnc betwean macs and Windows works | 17:51 |
| VGusev2007 | I think VNC is a rather slow... | 17:51 |
| holstein | zAo^: so, its client side with ubuntu? have you tried remmina? | 17:52 |
| VGusev2007 | But I use it for Mac, Linux, Windows | 17:52 |
| zAo^ | te | 17:52 |
| holstein | !info remmina | 17:52 |
| ubottu | remmina (source: remmina): remote desktop client for GNOME desktop environment. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.0-1ubuntu8 (quantal), package size 130 kB, installed size 360 kB | 17:52 |
| jY | is there anyway in the interfaces file to set a interface to not load on bootup | 17:52 |
| jY | but i can still do ifup on | 17:52 |
| nacitar | I just changed my /etc/network/interfaces to put a static ip on eth0, but stopping/restarting networking doesn't use it. Furthermore, if I ifconfig eth0 down, restarting networking doesn't bring it back up (and ifup eth0 says eth0 isnt configured) | 17:52 |
| holstein | jY: you can blacklist the module | 17:53 |
| jY | holstein: what if it's like eth0:1 ? | 17:53 |
| holstein | nacitar: i would just double check the static ip config | 17:53 |
| VGusev2007 | You can remove auto eht* from /etc/network/interfaces | 17:53 |
| holstein | jY: you can blacklist the module for the device you dont want to use | 17:53 |
| holstein | !blacklist | 17:53 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 17:53 |
| zAo^ | holstein: trying now, thnx | 17:53 |
| VGusev2007 | it is so hard | 17:53 |
| VGusev2007 | just remove auto eth* from interfaces | 17:54 |
| nacitar | holstein: it's jsut like http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-static-ip/ says to do it | 17:55 |
| zAo^ | holstein: it connects, shows the login screen, but cant type the password | 17:55 |
| holstein | nacitar: sure, but doublecheck your entries.. they will be specific to your network | 17:56 |
| VGusev2007 | jY: go to: /etc/network/interfaces and comment: auto eth0 or whatever you need | 17:56 |
| nacitar | holstein: even if they're wrong, the interface should be coming up though (just not functional), aye? | 17:56 |
| nacitar | holstein: ifconfig isn't even showing the interface when i restart networking | 17:56 |
| jY | VGusev2007: thanks.. works | 17:56 |
| holstein | zAo^: with remmina? what do you use in windows? maybe you can run that natively or in wine.. at least as a test | 17:56 |
| holstein | nacitar: i would start over.. use auto, and see that the device is working... | 17:57 |
| zAo^ | holstein: lol. Sorry, no wine on this machine | 17:57 |
| nacitar | holstein: with just auto eth0, as before, restarting networking still doesn't bring it up | 17:57 |
| nacitar | holstein: ifup eth0 says it "isn't configured" so if i could just figure out why it thinks that it would be swell. | 17:58 |
| nacitar | i feel that these are related problems. | 17:58 |

| kalib | the side panel. | 18:14 |
| Capprentice | You can set it to auto hide. | 18:15 |
| rndbit | has anyone ever heard of or even tried putting boot partition on usb stick (full disk encryption is in place)? I googled to no avail.. idk if i dont know how to search or noone really bothered doing this | 18:15 |
| flintser | kalib: go to appearance where you can change the settings of autovide, then set it to top left corner and sensitivity to lowest. | 18:15 |
| flintser | then it wont come unless super is pressed (it is handy sometimes) | 18:15 |
| Capprentice | Putting boot partition on a USB drive ? | 18:16 |
| kalib | flintser, it will hide the mnus.. but still with the "blank" space. | 18:16 |

| SonikkuAmerica | flintser: Disregard all that, I didn't read what came before it. | 18:59 |
| flintser | translation problems :) google is not not yet perfect. sometimes wheni tell not to it says the opposite. m | 18:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | selena2013: Welcome back | 18:59 |
| BluesKaj | capoderra, I took a break since there were so many suggestions to solve your problem , i thought I'd wait til the dust settled or you got a solution | 18:59 |
| SonikkuAmerica | flintser: lol | 18:59 |
| capoderra | SonikkuAmerica, My problem is that I can't get the audio to output through my TV speakers through HDMI | 19:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | capoderra: Oh... that. What drivers do you have? | 19:00 |
| capoderra | When I test my laptop speakers, I can hear the lady say "front right, front left" | 19:00 |
| capoderra | but nothing happens when I test the digital output | 19:01 |
| capoderra | SonikkuAmerica, I haven't installed drivers | 19:01 |
| flintser | capoderra: install drivers. install pavucontrol. that was the best we could come up with. after that i said that i should have eone my guide in english | 19:01 |
| capoderra | I just installed pavucontrol, it's not making a difference | 19:01 |
| selena2013 | try fix in alsamixer in konsole | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | capoderra: Of course not. You also need the prop drivers for whatever gfx card you have. | 19:02 |
| flintser | digital out is not hdmi still :/ you dont have the hdmi output listed so there is probaply a driver issue | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | flintser: <capoderra> SonikkuAmerica, I haven't installed driver | 19:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | *drivers | 19:02 |
| Capprentice | There is a tool. PulseAudio manager. Look at it. This provides internal details of PulseAudio Server. It might help you. | 19:02 |
| Capprentice | paman is the command to run PulseAudio Manager. | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | Capprentice, have you set pavucontrol to the hdmi output ? | 19:03 |
| Capprentice | I dont have HDMI. | 19:03 |
| Angel0912 | hello i have question regarding ubuntu amd i amble to use my SSD as primary home and use my HDD as secondary storage with a set up partition? | 19:03 |
| flintser | capprentice. it wont. i bet my money for drivers. HDMI doesnt show up because of that | 19:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Angel0912: What? I didn't catch that... | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | sorry Capprentice , wrong nick | 19:03 |
| capoderra | BluesKaj, how do I do that? | 19:04 |
| flintser | ubuntu has handled my audio by dfault after drivers are installed, since very rar away | 19:04 |
| flintser | far* | 19:04 |
| Angel0912 | SonikkuAmerica: right i have 2 drives i want to use my SSD as primary home but i want to know if i can set my HDD as secondary storage as i compile android roms and only have 120Gb ssd | 19:04 |
| BluesKaj | capoderra, , open pavucontrol and choose the options in the audio output dropdown | 19:05 |
| crass | has anyone ever tried to run the iso from an ntfs formatted usb/disk using the grub loopback file? | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Angel0912: I don't see a reason why not. | 19:05 |
| capoderra | there is only one choice: digital output (s/pdif) | 19:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Angel0912: Do you need help setting that up? | 19:05 |
| flintser | nvidia has good support for ubuntu. go to software sources and proprietary drivers tab! install nvidia drivers and them ypu see the hdm! | 19:06 |
| crass | more specifically it lookslike there's a bug in the initrd, where the mount.ntfs3g links to libntfs-3g.so.831 but libntfs-3g.so.835 is in the initrd | 19:06 |
| Angel0912 | SonikkuAmerica: i will do i will install my dual boot linux first then i will come back ok =] | 19:06 |
| crass | can anyone confirm this? | 19:06 |
| flintser | it cannot work without drivers, the end of it. | 19:06 |

| Dennis8162 | Ubuntu is great :D | 19:08 |
| Capprentice | If you want to look intro your installed hardware, the easiest tool to do so is "SysInfo" | 19:08 |
| capoderra | oh right, i forgot to say that choosing additional drivers comes up with nothing | 19:08 |
| Dennis8162 | I installed it about a hour ago and am amzed by it <3 | 19:08 |
| Capprentice | You have to install them, I think you have not installed any yet. | 19:08 |
| selena2013 | Denis which version you amazed ? | 19:08 |
| Capprentice | Ubuntu 12.10 is crappy if you are pointing that. | 19:09 |
| flintser | capoderra, then youd need my guide i pasted. sad it is only in finnish. i might translate it tonight :/ | 19:09 |
| BluesKaj | capoderra, ok . alt+f2 , type additional drivers into the textbox , a dialog with some listed nvidia drivers should launch | 19:09 |

| gmachine_24 | I mean to "get them to start when the computer boots/reboots" ...... ugh. It's Friday | 19:10 |
| Dennis8162 | I got the latest version | 19:10 |

| lifebird64 | Capprentice,bakarat: even on a LAN, shoutcast/icecast still has different latencies on more than one computer, which makes for annoying echos when both computers are close to each other. the FIFO is less prone to those differences, I find. | 19:21 |

| DJones | Capprentice: Wouldn't like to say about Zorin, you probably need to ask in their irc channel | 19:51 |
| mr_chris | rzyz: Try a tool like rcconf. You may need to install it first. Then disable xdm. When you reboot you should start at a console. | 19:51 |
| rzyz | mr_chris, does xubuntu desktop will still be launch? | 19:51 |

| mr_chris | rzyz: If you disable the display manager you will have to launch X manually. To do that, log in through the console and run "startrx". To get xfce to launch you may need to add "exec startxfce4" to your .xinitrc file. | 19:52 |
| mr_chris | rzyz: But if you don't want to have to go through that effort, you should keep xdm. It's a login manager. Its job is to make it easy to launch your desktop. | 19:53 |

| whhhhhh | so damn boring | 20:35 |
| bekks | !java | Dennis8162 | 20:35 |
| ubottu | Dennis8162: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:35 |

| elisa87 | how can I know if the binary created by nvcc (Nvidia CUDA C Compiler) for a simple vecadd.cu (Cuda C) is static or dynamic? | 20:36 |

| Dennis8162 | thanks | 20:37 |
| elisa87 | bekks http://paste.ubuntu.com/5577368/ so is that a dynamic binary now? Can you explain a little more? | 20:37 |

| Dennis8162 | another question, ive installed wine, now will .exe programs just run when i click them? | 20:38 |
| mgore | oops | 20:38 |
| bekks | elisa87: Yes it is. You dont see a "this is a static binary" message, but instead, you can see the linked libraries. | 20:38 |
| elisa87 | bekks thanks a lot | 20:38 |
| matriks404 | Dennis you can right click and click run in wine, or you can change default opening operation | 20:39 |
| bekks | Dennis8162: No. | 20:39 |
| bekks | Dennis8162: Just installing wine does not mean you can execute every .exe file | 20:39 |
| Dennis8162 | isok | 20:39 |
| Dennis8162 | oh ok* | 20:40 |
| elisa87 | bekks can you guess what does this exactly want from me For dynamic binaries, specify an appropriate plugin with an argument to hpcrun. | 20:40 |

| skillo | alguem usando nmap ai ? | 20:55 |
| Dennis8162 | hi ive nstaled java but still get a error | 20:55 |
| flintser | /etc/skel is the folder where from useradd gets its info | 20:55 |
| davis776 | somehow I opened command line in unity, what was the shortcut? | 20:56 |
| packetfrog | alex________, Maybe this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-message-of-the-day-motd-in-ubuntu-server.html | 20:56 |
| flintser | ctrl+alt+t | 20:56 |

| judahitewarrior7 | Can anyone tell me of a program that will run Windows XP programs on Ubuntu better than Wine? | 20:56 |
| alex________ | I'll see thanks again | 20:57 |
| flintser | or ctrl+alt+f<number> changes tty. tty7 is the tty reserved for x | 20:57 |
| bekks | judahitewarrior7: There is no such program. You would have to install a Windows virtual machine. | 20:57 |
| holstein | judahitewarrior7: no.. but any software can be written to run in linux natively. | 20:57 |
| bekks | holstein: Which is not true :) | 20:57 |
| judahitewarrior7 | bekks: How do I do that? | 20:57 |
| davis776 | packetfrog, no, it wasnt terminal, just unity like search and before input was command line | 20:57 |
| billkd | judahitewarrior7: you can use a program like kvm or VIrtualbox to run a vm | 20:57 |
| bekks | judahitewarrior7: You would have to install a hypervisor like virtualbox, and install a windows guest OS after. | 20:58 |
| holstein | bekks: yeah? anyone can write whatever they like.. and can write it for linux.. i cant think of anything that cant be written for linux | 20:58 |
| naegling | you could try crossover | 20:58 |
| naegling | it's like a polished version of wine | 20:58 |
| alex________ | el problema es que tiene que ser un mensaje de bienvenida al abrir el terminal, es obligatorio usar el fichero oculto .profile de /etc/skel. | 20:58 |
| holstein | bekks: i didnt say "ported".. or "compiled".. i mean, if the company or developers want, they can support linux natively | 20:58 |
| judahitewarrior7 | bekks: So how do I set up VirtualBox to run Windows XP? | 20:59 |
| bekks | holstein: s/want/get payed for/ | 20:59 |
| billkd | bekks : what Ubuntu version are you on? 12.10 or 13.04? | 20:59 |
| holstein | bekks: sure. that doesnt make it not true though.. just potentially unlikely do to commercial interest | 20:59 |
| packetfrog | alex________, Asked: the problem is that it has to be a welcome message to open the terminal, it is compulsory to wear a hidden file. profile / etc / skel. | 21:00 |
| bekks | billkd: 12.04 on production system, 12.10 on daily use, 13.04 on testing boxes. | 21:00 |
| billkd | bekks: What version do you want to install Virtualbox on? | 21:00 |

| TheLordOfTime | Dennis8162, there is teamviewer for linux, but we don't do remote support here. | 21:06 |
| billkd | So you need 6? Then uninstall 7. | 21:06 |
| TheLordOfTime | Dennis8162, because of... security issues. | 21:06 |
| flintser | wrong channel.. shouldve been in ot | 21:06 |

| packetfrog | or the motd | 21:08 |
| packetfrog | troulouliou_dev, yes | 21:09 |
| flintser | troulouliou_dev: if you run lots of vm and ram goes low sometimes, you NEED swap otherwise i cannot think of any situation that 32 gb will fill up | 21:09 |
| packetfrog | troulouliou_dev, http://askubuntu.com/questions/103915/how-do-i-configure-swappiness | 21:10 |

| alex________ | solo puedo usar el .profile, es una pregunta de un curso de formacion profesional y tengo que hacerlo como dice. | 21:11 |

| davis776 | why is unity dash so laggy with Intel GPU? | 21:11 |
| packetfrog | why does unity do anything it does? | 21:12 |
| flintser | troulouliou_dev: i say that dont worry abut it. it wont use swap for things that could be run in ram | 21:12 |
| packetfrog | flintser, that link i gave him is not just how to change it it explains it a bit. | 21:13 |
| flintser | i mean after swappiness is correct, but dont remove swap. your system can crash if lots of vms fill up your ram | 21:13 |

| grime | Dougie187, woah it might be the adapter....it could be cheaply built | 22:12 |

| IdontKnowAnythin | the problem is that Dropbox seems to be hung up in Terminal and I cant get it to go away, ive tryed to purg but not working | 22:13 |
| grime | baumy, check alsamixer in terminal and make sure your running on your onboard and not something else | 22:14 |
| grime | Dougie187, have you considered a usb mic? it might work way better | 22:15 |
| baumy | grime: 'alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory" | 22:15 |

| grime | IdontKnowAnything, try dropping dow to tty1 and going fully cli | 22:15 |
| grime | baumy, do you have alsa-utils installed | 22:16 |
| IdontKnowAnythin | what is ttyl | 22:16 |
| grime | Dougie187, hmmm let me find a link to one i used its real nice hold on | 22:16 |

| whjms | cihhan: htop is a pretty good application for what you need | 22:25 |
| baumy | grime: one for my nvidia graphics card, and some weird usb device i dont recognize with a hexidecimal name and no playback controls when i select it | 22:25 |
| magiik | so weird... this AP was working a week or two ago, and now it won't get an IP through DHCP | 22:26 |
| === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away | ||
| cihhan | well, im writing a small monitoring tool for myself to create some reports -- so i dont want to use top | 22:26 |
| magiik | I can connect fine on my android phone to the AP, but ubuntu won't get an ip | 22:26 |
| magiik | anyone got any ideas on what might be wrong? | 22:26 |
| grime | baumy, make sure you have nvidia proprietary drivers installed | 22:27 |
| whjms | cihhan: do you want to find the usage by core, or just the percentage of the total system that is being used (e.g. a process with 400% usage means it's using four cores) | 22:28 |
| baumy | grime: i have the latest nvidia graphics drivers, but i dont think thats relevant? i could be mistaken, but i think the nvidia audio drivers are for audio over hdmi, since my gpu has an hdmi output. my speakers are plugged into my motherboard, which is definitely the intel audio driver | 22:28 |

| baumy | grime: i just noticed something, in the "chip" section at the top left of alsamixer, it says Intel PantherPoint HDMI, which i think is for my motherboard's hdmi out | 22:31 |
| magiik | and why is wpa_supplicant used/needed for WEP security? | 22:31 |
| baumy | grime: so it seems like my motherboard audio device isnt recognized at all? | 22:31 |
| whjms | cihhan: why don't you want to use top? | 22:31 |
| grime | baumy, check in your preferences under sound make sure nothing is muted | 22:31 |

| heraclitis | how does fsck work? | 22:34 |

| ZenMasta | Is there a way to bulk rename a bunch of files? I have a folder with about 5k images and each one is named using a product number. But I want to remove all the dashes from the file names. | 22:46 |
| whjms | ZenMasta: are you looking for a GUI tool? | 22:46 |
| ZenMasta | whjms no shell ideally | 22:47 |
| K4k | ZenMasta: can you provide me an example of one of the file names? | 22:47 |
| ZenMasta | 978-1-4143-1306-1.jpg | 22:47 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 22:47 |
| ZenMasta | the dashes mostly follow that pattern | 22:47 |
| whjms | ZenMasta: and just remove the dashes? | 22:48 |
| basiclaser | whjms: that command runs without complaint but i see no products of it, anything else to do? | 22:48 |
| ZenMasta | just remove, I do not want to substitute | 22:48 |
| whjms | basiclaser: if you run 'ls', do you see any .deb files in the directory? | 22:48 |
| grime | ShapeShifter449, hello | 22:48 |
| ZenMasta | I have a gui tool but it crashes because of how many files there are | 22:48 |
| ShapeShifter499 | my email provider has a quota, I'd like to download that onto my main ubuntu system then "forward" that to my other clients, how would I do this? | 22:48 |
| === lawrence is now known as Guest67409 | ||
| whjms | ZenMasta: maybe using a combination of a for loop, mv, and sed? | 22:49 |
| basiclaser | whjms: no :/ | 22:49 |
| K4k | ZenMasta: the way that comes to mind would be a for loop which uses sed to create the new name for each file and moves them from the old location to the new location | 22:49 |
| whjms | basiclaser: is this the version downloaded from sublime text's site? | 22:49 |
| grime | ShapeShifter449, is it an email that was sent to you or that your sending | 22:49 |
| basiclaser | whjms: yes | 22:49 |
| ZenMasta | ok thanks | 22:49 |
| ShapeShifter499 | grime, this is my own personal email | 22:50 |
| Tex_Nick | ZenMasta: se if this points you in the general direction ... http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/150 | 22:50 |
| grime | ShapeShifter449, are you using the web or an app on ubuntu | 22:50 |
| ZenMasta | ok | 22:50 |
| whjms | basiclaser: does ./sublime_text open up the editor? | 22:51 |
| K4k | ZenMasta: something like 'for file in $(ls); do file2=$(sed .... file); mv file file2; done | 22:51 |
| ShapeShifter499 | grime, its a vary secure service but has a really small quota (under 100 megs) so I would need to download it save it then delete the original off their servers, this leaves new mail on my system but I'd like to get notifications for that mail (and read it too) on my other devices like my iPhone or Android tablet | 22:52 |
| K4k | but I don't know enough sed to complete that | 22:52 |
| ShapeShifter499 | grime, I'm currently using the web, but I could also set up a client | 22:52 |
| whjms | K4k: sed 's_-__g', or something like that? | 22:52 |
| basiclaser | whjms: it says cannot execute binary file when i try that | 22:52 |
| K4k | whjms: yup, just don't know the exact syntax you'll want to replace all - in the name regardless of surrounding characters | 22:53 |
| ShapeShifter499 | grime I know how to set up a client to receive this mail, but I want it to download to my home ubuntu system, if I do this I will not get notified for this mail on my mobile devices | 22:53 |
| whjms | basiclaser: try 'chmod +x sublime_text', then run it | 22:53 |
| grime | Shapeshifter499, there some apps on ubuntu, try PostFix sound like something your looking for | 22:55 |
| K4k | is there a way to list what packages are provided from a particular repo in sources.list.d? | 22:56 |
| grime | ShapeShifter499, and if you are installing PostFix you can install MySQL as well to foward | 22:56 |

| DeliriumTremens | i dont care if it can perform i/o, i just want any user to be able to connect to it | 23:15 |

| grime | panorain, no just make sure you put the path of the iso with the name exactly spelled and then the output to where your usb is then you should be fine | 23:19 |
| grime | safecancel, hahaha | 23:19 |
| panorain | grime i'll give it a try thanks | 23:20 |

| safecancel | grime: I have an external display connected via HDMI to a laptop. When I login using my user account, both displays (laptop and external) display nothing. I have tried rebooting with and without the external display connected. I have also tried brightness and external/internal toggles on the laptop. The guest account works fine though. So I am wondering if there is a way to reset the display settings in my | 23:25 |
| safecancel | user account, using the guest account? | 23:25 |
| grime | safecancel, if your guest account is fine then its a user problem | 23:26 |
| safecancel | grime: seems I can't sudo or even SU to my user account from the guest account | 23:27 |
| aLeSD | Is there a ubuntu mobile channel ? | 23:28 |

| grime | yo | 23:31 |
| kmc__ | Hi all. I have deleted the user "nobody" from my 12.04 system, because it was behaving like a hacker and I didn't know what it was. It isn't nobody at all, it's important. Now I can't login. Can anyone tell me how to recreate it please? | 23:32 |
| enis_ | delete c | 23:32 |
| enis_ | shut down your computer | 23:32 |
| enis_ | jump 3 times | 23:32 |
| enis_ | after open it | 23:32 |
| linxeh | nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh | 23:33 |
| kmc__ | linxeh: thankyou, what should its password be? | 23:33 |
| grime | safecancel, so hows the progress going | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | kmc__: firstly, you shouldn't go around deleting stuff that you don't know what it does. secondly, what made you think it was a hacker? | 23:34 |
| linxeh | kmc__: none | 23:34 |
| kmc__ | kmc__: it was the lesser of two evils. I didn't want to take time to research it because it was running 'find' and I didn't want to wait until it found what it was looking for, if it were a hacker. | 23:35 |
| Linco | I installed 12.10 with no problem. but when it finishes it loads to a purplish wallpaper with no gui. a few moments later i get an error saying compiz has closed unexpectedly. | 23:35 |
| kmc__ | Ben64: | 23:35 |
| linxeh | kmc__: the password will be in the shadow file, but since you dont need to login as nobody it doesnt need an entry | 23:35 |
| grime | Linco, what kind of computer are you running it on | 23:35 |

| kmc__ | linxeh: when I create a user, it insists ona password.....and the system logs in as that user, so I assume it expects it to have a password, or perhaps it su's to it? I dunno, there's no doco I could see... | 23:36 |

| packetfrog | Linco Xubuntu might be a better option. | 23:38 |
| HelloWorld321 | found it: use Ubuntu Software Center to install the package by name, which happens to be libreoffice-nlpsolver | 23:38 |
| Linco | grime: im very new to ubuntu. what's the command to log into unity? | 23:38 |
| grime | packetfrog, lxde is better | 23:39 |

| mikeliss | How do I get a newer version of a package installed than what's in the repos? | 23:39 |

| safecancel | grime: thanks again - just what i was looking for :) | 23:40 |
| grime | Linco at login when the computer starts you can choose a session it normaly says unity or default, click it and see if you can pick unity 2D | 23:40 |
| kmc__ | linxeh: any idea? :/ | 23:40 |
| grime | safecancel, so you got the your screens running? | 23:40 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: see if you can find a ppa for it | 23:41 |
| Linco | Grime: when it starts it loads to the default background. that is all. a few moments later i get a compiz error. no login pops up. | 23:41 |
| grime | Linco, so did you set it to auto login? or since the install did it do this? | 23:42 |
| Linco | Grime: granted during install i set it to auto login | 23:42 |
| Linco | lol, yeah. | 23:43 |
| grime | Linco, that might be a problem haha..........thats wierd tho cuz i know ubuntu has a fallback | 23:43 |
| packetfrog | Linco Linco hit ctrl alt f1 or f2... get to a login and type unity-2d-shell | 23:44 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Failing that? I don't see any. | 23:44 |
| Linco | okay packet. once sec | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: compile it yourself? | 23:44 |
| mikeliss | Ben64: Ugh. There really should be a way to get a version of something without compiling it. Odd that there *still* isn't a way to get things like this. | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | mikeliss: you chose 12.04, so use 12.04 packages, upgrade to 12.10 or do it yourself | 23:46 |
