Degrujavi_: Or you type in sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer00:00
javi_ohh okay then.. but what if i want to run a program but ubuntu says its not safe?00:00
zimzum77jackarg, switch back to win for a moment and dosome research, you should be able to run on your chipset00:00
jbuncherJust upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04, and I can't get the "Set Up Mail...." entry in the messaging-menu to change to what it should be for thunderbird (thunderbird was already set up in 10.04).  I have tried reinstalling thunderbird and thunderbird-globalmenu, uninstalling evolution, logging in and out, and restarting with no luck.  Thoughts?00:00
Degruyou type in "chmod +x program"00:00
Random832javi_: the error you got was misleading because the file you downloaded wasn't actually the program00:00
jackargzimzum77 I don't have windows. I failed dual booting00:00
Random832it wouldn't have worked even if you did chmod +x it00:00
Degrujavi_: replace program with the filename00:00
zimzum77then you see, it 'll work for you jackarg00:00
zimzum77oh crap00:01
jackarg:)00:01
jackargyea, I suck.00:01
zimzum77peace bro00:01
Degrujavi_: but for flash you do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer".00:01
zimzum77haha nahhhh00:01
jackargI can use another comp in the house though00:01
jackargok bye00:01
indigo_glowjackarg, more than one way to skin a cat. you can do it with out reinstalling but if you feel that you would be better off reinstalling you can do that as well but its all up to you.. you'll have to re install all of those packkages again00:02

javi_okay i know the difference but im tryin to run a program that i kniw is runnable with java on ubuntu because it works perfectly fine on my windows computer but its meant for ubuntu00:04
javi_i need a bypass00:05
Degrujavi_: Do you have java? run "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre" and then run "java -jar program.jar" to start the program.00:05
ntzrmtthihu777javi_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer00:07
Degruntzrmtthihu777: already told him that twice00:07

Degruzimzum77: what do you mean00:08
javi_how do i run sudoapt blah blah00:09
end_guyjavi_: in the terminal00:09
Degrujavi_: open the program called terminal and type it there.00:09
javi_wheres the terminal?00:09
zimzum77Degru, i mean this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tja6_h4lT6A00:09

javi_got it00:12
javi_ okay what next00:12
end_guytype in your command...00:12

scoobHi, I'm on ubuntu server 12.04 on ESXi 5.1.0. I've got a usb wireless network card plugged into my host and it's passed through to a guest. I can see if on ifconfig -a however I can't bring it up and rfkill list shows its hard blocked. I've tried to unblock via rfkill for no luck.00:12
scoobSome forum posts lead me to believe it may be an ubuntu issue00:13
scoobAny ideas?00:13
end_guyjavi_: You might be better off using ubuntu software center from now on. It'll be in your applications, or you can find it just like you did the terminal.00:13
Degrujavi_: Yes. You can look for stuff in there. flash, java, etc. should all be there00:14
javi_okay now its says "The file '/home/javi/Downloads/UnBrickableResurrectorR40.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit."00:17
scoobYou can't execute a file unless it's marked as executable. Try chmod +x <file>00:17
javi_in terminal?00:17
TOSLinuxHi00:17
scoobmhm00:17
end_guyjavi_: in terminal type chmod +x /home/javi/Downloads/UnBrickableResurrectorR40.jar00:17
TOSLinuxsomeone can help me?00:18

TOSLinuxlookç00:18
end_guyTOSLinux: That's undetermined. Someone can try to help you though.00:18
javi_its not doing anything?00:18
Degrujavi_: it's not supposed to show output.00:18
end_guyjavi_: it's just silent feedback, it means it worked00:19
TOSLinuxgoof00:19
Degrujavi_: now try the java -jar blahblah.jar thing again00:19
end_guytry to execute that file again00:19

javi_okay i will try00:19
scoobAny ideas about my wlan issue?00:19
TOSLinuxend_guy: what version of Ubuntu choice?00:19
TOSLinuxps: my native language is spanish00:20
javi_THANK YOOOUUU!!!!!!!!!!00:20
Degruscoob: Last wlan issue I dealt with was shitty broadcom drivers00:20
scoobDegru: Hrm, I think that if it's actually an OS issue it'd be a logic thing, but I can be wrong.00:20
scoobDegru: Trying to decide if it's an ESX problem or Ubuntu issue00:20
end_guyTOSLinux: 12.1000:21
TOSLinuxend_guy: because?00:21
Degruscoob: Well, I have no experience with wlan stuff. Most installs had working drivers and the only one I had trouble with was broadcom00:21
TOSLinuxend_guy: the battery in the 12.10 version is bad duration00:21
scoobDegru: Ah. This same card worked on a 12.04 desktop install with no issue00:22
scoobLeads me to believe it's likely not a driver issue00:22
end_guyTOSLinux: what kind of computer do you have? You should first turn down the screen brightness until you can just barley make things out, and then throttle your CPU down.00:23
TOSLinuxend_guy: despite using (pcie_aspm=force and acpiosi=Linux in grub and Jupiter applet) <--00:23
Degruscoob: Then you should probably use 12.04 since it's the LTS, especially if it's a server.00:24
Degruscoob: I only installed 12.10 because it fixed my AMD graphics drivers.00:24
darkhalo117Is there any way I can make an exact copy of my router firmware using dd?00:24
TOSLinuxend_guy: sure... compared with 12.04 in 12.04 is major!00:24
TOSLinux*is better00:24
Degrudarkhalo117: I don't think you can do that. DD is only for system stuff.00:25
darkhalo117Damn00:25
Degrudarkhalo117: what do you plan to do?00:25
fstmdarkhalo117, I don't think so, you'd need direct access to the router's flash memory, and the usual ethernet connection doesn't offer that00:26
end_guyTOSLinux: 12.04 isn't better, 12.10 is just not configured to be as battery conservative as 12.0400:26
darkhalo117I had my router hacked a while back and it screwed up my firmware. So I want to have the option to create an exact image of it00:26
darkhalo117Gotcha fstm00:26
darkhalo117I might just flash ddwrt so I don't get hacked in the first place00:26
TOSLinuxend_guy: some form of configure it? some link?... thanks!00:27
darkhalo117Have to thank the roomie for leaving the admin password to it's defaults00:27
fstmdarkhalo117, you can still try a firmware upgrade, if you just wanna get it working00:27
Degrudarkhalo117: if you want better security for your router, see if it supports dd-wrt and use the instructions for you router to install it. dd-wrt is like linux for routers. Adds tons of functionality.00:27
end_guyTOSLinux: You'll need to do things like turning down the screen brightness, and cpu frequencey. Make the laptop sleep after 10 minutes of being idle.00:27
qwebirc83344dd-wrt = no firewall00:27
Degruqwebirc83344: Can't it be installed?00:27
darkhalo117You can install one00:27
end_guythat will increase your battery life00:27
darkhalo117Hence the add ons00:27
Degrudarkhalo117: yep00:27
darkhalo117I'll have to do that then00:28
TOSLinuxend_guy: ok... but another tip?00:28
end_guyTOSLinux: Here's how you can turn down your CPU frequency, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_use_cpufrequtils00:28
qwebirc83344dd-wrt acts like a router or ap rather than a serious firewall00:28
mguyIsn't a NAT firewall all most users need?00:29
Degruqwebirc83344: a router acts like a router or ap. that's true.00:29
end_guyTOSLinux: sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils00:29
tomasz_aenhi00:29
end_guyTOSLinux: then sudo cpufreq-set -g powersave00:29
Degruqwebirc83344: but in dd-wrt you can install a firewall00:29

FarisHello ppl00:40
FarisI'm new to unity. how can I see the available applications ??00:40
Faris(Like the upper applications menu in gnome2)00:41
TOSLinuxFaris: on dash... icon in bottom (Applications)00:41
unheedingTOSLinux: any version should work.  you have enough power.  it just depnds on what desktop you want00:41
FarisTOSLinux: There is no such icon in livecd mode ?00:41

FarisTOSLinux: (I'm using 12.04)00:42
end_guyTOSLinux: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/444/cpu-freq/00:42
end_guyif you use gnome-shell00:42
end_guyyou can use that00:42
TOSLinuxFaris: yes: open DASH (ubuntu logo) and clic in icon (application) positioned in bottom00:42
end_guyTOSLinux: here's a plugin for brightness https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/231/brightness-control/00:43
end_guyyou can do sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and choose GNOME as your session when you login00:43
TOSLinuxend_guy: but use Unity not GNOME Shell!00:43
Kaito@00:43
end_guyTOSLinux: then swap to gnome-shell, it's not difficult, one command and relogin under GNOME00:44
end_guyit's better anyway00:44
TOSLinuxend_guy: hate GNOME SHell :(00:44
FarisTOSLinux: applications are not grouped by category, is it normal ?00:45
end_guyawww, then I dunno. unity sucks because you can really configure it to do awesome things like control cpufreq-set00:45
TOSLinuxend_guy: if only gnome 2 back...00:45
TOSLinuxFaris: yes... in top clic in "Filter" and choose some category!00:45
ntzrmtthihu777TOSLinux: Pinguy Is a very close approximation00:45
end_guyTOSLinux: I agree, I miss somethings about GNOME 2 also00:45
FarisTOSLinux: so many clics to get a tidy application list :(00:46
TOSLinuxntzrmtthihu777: not... i don't like :(00:46
TOSLinuxend_guy: actually use Backrack 5 GNOME 2 (but is obsolete)00:47
TOSLinuxFaris: is simply... open dash and type name of your application and ENTER! button... is very simply!00:48
end_guyTOSLinux: if you just install cpufrequtils it will always default to ondemand, which is good enough00:49
end_guyit will use max CPU only when it needs it00:49
end_guywhich is ideally what you always want anyway00:49
TOSLinuxend_guy: ok00:50
end_guyI really can't seeing 12.04 being *THAT* much better in terms of battery life than 12.1000:50
psusiyou don't need to install cpufrequtils for the ondemand govorner, that is built into the kernel, and there's really no reason to muck with it00:50
end_guypsusi: the idea was to set it to powersaver mode and only use bare minimum to help him with batter life, but honestly I don't know why 12.04 would be that much better in terms of battery life than 12.1000:51
TOSLinuxend_guy: but I yes!00:51
psusiit's actually more energy efficient to *not* slow the cpu down, because then it can finish its work faster, and spend more time in the very low power non executing states00:51
psusimost modern cpus completely power off in their deepest C state00:53
Colin_hello im having a issue when i install updates ubuntu refuses to boot black screens and monitor loses signal im still using standard grpahics driver any idea?00:53
TOSLinuxend_guy: I notice that if ... I will try your tips  - Thanks!00:54
ghotiWhat's the difference between qt4 and gtk20?  Are they different widget sets, different libraries, what?  If I have a choice of building an application using one vs the other, how do I decide which I should pick?00:54
end_guypsusi: that statement is only valid if we assume the user won't be frequently running cpu intensive processes.00:54
TOSLinuxend_guy: one more thing ... as sack Legal Information icon on the dash00:54
nellI want to see my system stats and overclock settings, where should I look to?00:55
end_guyTOSLinux: what?00:55
ejvghoti: you should really ask that on a site like stackoverflow.00:56
TOSLinuxend_guy: how to remove icon "Legal information" form the dash?00:56
psusiend_guy, no, that's the point... if you are running a cpu intensive app, it is better to run full speed, finish in 10 seconds, and the cpu can go back to sleep, rather than spend 20 seconds running at 80% power00:56
ghotiejv: stackoverflow is a programming resource, and a question like this would be off-topic there.00:56
end_guyTOSLinux: I don't use have that problem in gnome-shell :) You should Google that one00:56
TOSLinuxend_guy: i try remove the HTML file from /usr/share/unity/6/....html  but not do nothing00:56

TOSLinuxend_guy: I already did ... and nothing00:57
KI4RO.00:58
mguyIs there something I need to install in 12.04 to use an LVM on a external HD? The disk is my old Fedora install00:58
ghotiejv: while that's a viable rationale, StackOverflow questions that do not include example code, expected results and actual results often get closed.  I don't have any code, I'm asking about the relationship between two toolkits.  That's definitely off-topic for SO.00:58
TOSLinuxSomeone can help me removing the "legal information" icon form the dash of Ubuntu 12.10?00:58
end_guypsusi: If the user is doing this cpu intensive things frequently, then it's comaritive to continuously running a process at max cpu versus continuously running at min cpu00:58
end_guyTOSLinux: it doesn't sound like something you should be able to remove00:59
mguyghoti: What about programmers.stackexchange.com00:59
psusimguy, you need to install the lvm2 package to use lvm, does't matter that it's external00:59
ghotiI'm getting the distinct impression that nobody wants to discuss this.  Okay, well, thanks mguy.01:00
mguyghoti: you could go in the gtk or qt channels and ask them :)01:00
ghotiSure, like I should ask about the difference between Ubuntu and Fedora here in #ubuntu?  Great call.  ;)01:01
mguypsusi: Weird. I figured that would be part of the basic install. Thanks01:01
mguyghoti: Maybe there is a linux-programming channel.01:01
TOSLinuxend_guy: then I have to see the icon every day of my life?01:01
ghotisigh.  I'll just do my own reading.01:01
psusiend_guy, the only time lowering the cpu frequency is a win is if you are running a broken app that always wastes 100% of the cpu no matter what, like running an old dos app..01:02
ghotiOften, folks in irc are able to provide quick, useful answers.  Not tonight, apparently.01:02
Degruit always depends on the issue01:02
mguyghoti: This just isn't the type of channle for that question01:03
ghotimguy: ya, I see that.01:03
mguyWhat's the dpkg or apt command to install missing dependencies?01:05
DegruTOSLinux: I have never had an icon like that in my dash. Try right-clicking and clicking "remove" or "unpin"01:05
TOSLinuxend_guy: simply open the HTML file01:06

muh2000i am trying to build my own package. everything works except for a dependency. during the install process it names the packe it want, but it doesnt install it :(01:09
end_guypsusi: Then we have to try to reproduce their results. I just know that I am frequently using a lot of CPU, so it's often better to use minimum cpu frequency01:09
end_guybecause my CPU processing time is always greater than its idle time01:09
TOSLinuxbye guys!!!!01:10
end_guydoens't matter if I set it to 2.4GHz or 800MHz01:10
psusiend_guy, how did you determine that it was "better"?  the lower you set the frequency, the more time you spend processing vs. idle01:10
psusiagain, unless you are running a broken app that busy waits in a tight loop just wasiting cpu cycles and getting nothing done01:11
end_guyWhen I set it to 800MHz durring a normal work day (software engineering) it lasts 6 hours, ondemand governer it only lasts about 4 hours01:11
SunMoonStarI want to make a copy of a cd and I have instructions to use dd if=/dev/... of=mycopy.iso   ... when i do df -H, it says under column File System: /dev/sr0 and under Mounted On: /media/maks/TurboTax 2012 .... for "if=" do I use /dev/sr0 or the /media.. one?01:11
DegruSunMoonStar: /dev/sr001:11
psusiend_guy, look into what you are running that keeps wasting the cpu01:11
SunMoonStarDegru: thanks. Now, if I used the /media one, would it still work?01:12
psusiflash tends to be a culprit.. very badly written program01:12
end_guyhehe I have. firefox, gnome-shell, ruby, and gnome-terminal are the main processes01:12
DegruSunMoonStar: No; you wouldn't use that with dd since it contains the actual contents of the cd. if you wanted to just copy the files off the cd though...01:12
Degruend_guy: Chrome is a lot better than ff in resource consumption01:13
end_guyDegru: it was worse by default, i had to go in and disable background applications from running when closed01:13
SunMoonStarDegru: I want to make a cd image so I can run it on a laptop later which doesn't have a cd rom drive, I guess by using virtual iso software01:14
end_guyeven still i get a weird bug sometimes, when i copy and paste it'll just freeze up, not to mention i prefer firebug over chrome dev tools01:14
DegruSunMoonStar: So, you want to use the ISO with a windows OS with an is mounting software?01:14
SunMoonStarDegru: yes01:15
SunMoonStarDegru: I was asked to do this because the person doesn't have a cd rom but have a cd they need to use01:15
DegruSunMoonStar: Then you do "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/path/to/destionation.iso/" and let it run01:15
KylieBrookshi. how do i clear the X clipboard?01:15
SunMoonStarDegru: and then I can transfer the iso image to them and have them run virtual iso software to use it?01:16
DegruSunMoonStar: yes. that should work.01:16
SunMoonStarDegru: awesome thanks :D01:16
DegruSunMoonStar: You could also go into the /media thing using the file browser and copy the stuff from there into a folder. Then they could just run the installer without even mounting it.01:17
SunMoonStarDegru: oh.. that might be easier.01:18
DegruSunMoonStar: It's what I usually do. Unless the software requires you to have the actual CD in when running it should work.01:19
SunMoonStarDegru: true. thanks. I think this one doesn't so I will just copy it01:19
DegruSunMoonStar: yeah, last time i checked turbotax didn't need the cd01:20
SunMoonStarDegru: while copying it had input/output error on one of the files01:20
SunMoonStarI did a copy paste for this copy01:20
SunMoonStarmaybe I need to use dd01:20
DegruSunMoonStar: sometimes mounting has issues. in that case use dd.01:21
SunMoonStarDegru: I am thinking maybe the CD has some sort of anti-copying thing01:21
SunMoonStarDegru: I will try dd01:21
DegruSunMoonStar: No, I don't think it's that. I mean, the installer has to actually read the disc, right? Turbotax doesn't have that draconian drm on it. It's most likely a problem with the actual mount, or it's a problem with something else. dd should work no matter what01:23

p014kHello. I recently upgraded to 12.10. I am use to 'ubuntu classic' with the start menus and panel at the bottom. I would like to retain these. I disabled the unity plugin in compiz and installed gnome-panel, gnome-tweak-tool, and gnome-shell. When I boot, I have to open a terminal and type gnome-panel every time to get it to open, how do I get this to start automatically? Also when I do open the panel, the only thing displayed on the top panel is the date02:28
p014k, how do I get the login/shutdown menu, bluetooth icon, battery icon, wifi icon, volume icon, and keyboard language set to show up on it? One other issue is in the panel on the lower right, I set the number of workspaces to 9 (3x3), however when I switch workspaces, the viewpoint preview only shows 4 and I can't switch to the other ones.02:28

jribwad: you can use those cron.daily directories or use crontab; whatever you prefer.  Those directories are mostly to make it easy for packages to install cron jobs02:31

dumontonce 13.04 comes out, and I'm running 12.10, I just have to do apt-get upgrade ? I've upgrade ubuntu before from 10.04 to 10.10 then to 11.04 but the upgrade was incompaible, I'm wondering if I'll be stuck later with a system which cannot be upgraded... requiring a complete reinstall02:33
ion_jrib:yeah I saw the package but I don't know how to remove it ..02:34
jbuncherZiber, I just upgraded to 12.04, and haven't watched DVDs on this machine in a while.  Looks like xine is still installed, so it should be ok, but I haven't tested it.02:34
jribdumont: update-manager will pop up and ask you if you want to upgrade to 13.04 once it is released; then you just click yes02:34
jbuncherdumont, odd.  I've never had that.  I've upgraded from breezy to precise.....02:35
dumontor maybe it was 9.10 ...02:35
jbuncherdumont, AFAIK, you can *always* upgraded to the next ubuntu, even if the release you're running is no longer supported.  You just have to go one upgraded at a time (or from LTS -> LTS).02:36
jbuncherdumont, I just did the 10.04 -> 12.04 upgrade last night, went off mostly without a hitch.  (nvidia, grr...)02:36
dumontanyway, I'm not fully grasping how the "upgrade" affects the system, whether or not it will be an equivalent of a fresh reinstall with configs/progs/data retained, or it will be a partial patch with new kernel and other packages, but possibly contain bugs like I've experienced where multiple upgrades end up with a failed system that is very hard to restore02:37
p014kjbuncher: No, I don't use software email. gmail ftw02:37
toterZiber: From the Ubuntu Documentation: "In VLC Media Player for example, when you choose to open a disc, there's an option "No DVD menus". You just have to enable that option before you press Play. Media players that lack support for DVD menus should work as well (e.g. mplayer)."02:38
toterhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs02:38
p014kdumont: you'd do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade'02:38
scoobWanted to poke back with my question from earlier and maybe get some new eyes on it. I'm using Ubuntu server 12.04 on ESXi 5.1.0. I've got a usb wireless network card plugged into my host and it's passed through to a guest. I can see if on ifconfig -a however I can't bring it up and rfkill list shows its hard blocked.02:38
jbuncherdumont, it downloads all the new packages and installs those versions, and most packages ask if you want config files overwritten/untouched/merged (such as when installing a new ssh/samba).02:38
jribdumont: when ubuntu makes a release the package versions are mostly fixed (notable exceptions are security updates).  When a new version comes along, it comes with new software (mostly newer versions of your old software).  The upgrade retains your configuration and installs the new package versions that are standard for the new ubuntu release02:38
scoobIt also seemingly randomly changes from on/off in dmesg02:38
dumontI know this has nothing to do with ubuntu, but speaking of scientific linux, I have v6.1 installed but "yum upgrade" does not upgrade to v6.2 even though 6.2 has been released for a while02:39

Ziberah, thanks02:40
Zibertoter: that's a lot of overkill for just wanting to -watch- a dvd.02:40
KI4RO.02:40
jribdumont: apt-get upgrade won't upgrade you to a new ubuntu release either.  It only upgrades your packages for your current release (in case there are security updates and such)02:41

dumontbtw, anyone else annoyed by "apt-get" it's so difficult to type in, there's a -, and 3 characters... while yum is only 3 characters, also there are diff commands you have to remember with the aptitude installer, apt-get apt-cache, with yum it's only yum install, yum search02:47

histo!notunity | Josh_03:08
ubottuJosh_: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic03:08

jbuncherJust upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04, and I can't get the "Set Up Mail...." entry in the messaging-menu to change to what it should be for thunderbird (thunderbird was already set up in 10.04).  I have tried reinstalling thunderbird and thunderbird-globalmenu, uninstalling evolution, logging in and out, and restarting with no luck.  Thoughts?03:59
closetoopenany ideas?03:59
Degrupaddy: when in doubt type "man program"03:59
madbotjbuncher, did you clear out any old configs04:00
Degrujbuncher: did you use the dist upgrade or is it a fresh install?04:00
paddyDegru, i really should remember that simple one :D04:00
jbuncherDegru, used dist upgrade04:00
madbotthe config files in your .config folder .thunderbird and other hidden folders would probably contain old configs which may not be compatible the the newer version04:00
jbunchermadbot, not sure where those would be?04:00
tamaOk, I've read and I think I understand that article. I'll try reboot my network now, thanks. :D04:01
subcoolDegru, my firewall? - it was working - i only have ufw. and i even disabled it04:01
madbot~/.config or ~/.thunderbird and a few other places maybe04:01
Degrujbuncher: dist upgrades are extremely messy since tons of old configs are not removed. In the future, always do a fresh install.04:01
madbotusually when you do a big upgrade like that you should carefully go through your configs04:01
jbuncherDegru, I've upgraded since Breezy :P04:02
pepeejbuncher, http://askubuntu.com/a/15604 last para.04:02
closetoopenanyone read the message at all?04:02
Nimbleis it normal for "last -i" to show shells being opened and closed while no one is using the computer?04:02
jbunchermadbot, doesn't look like there's anything thunderbird related in ~/.config/  will check .thunderbird, but that makes me nervous as I don't want to wipe my accounts04:02
pepeeclosetoopen, it should work automatically04:02

Then run it every time you boot to enable the sharing. If you changed the commands in any way, make sure to edit them in the file.04:16

litropysubcool, I just came in. What's going on?04:19
madbotNimble I don't see anything particularly suspicious about that last but it seems like there are definately some terminal processes that are exiting abnormally giving you lots of the no logout messages04:19
Degrulitropy: he can't ping anything but himself and his router.04:20
subcoollitropy, wired or wireless04:20
Nimblemadbot: is it possible that they could come from gnome-terminal processes I didn't close before logging out of my session?04:20
subcoolused a liveusb, hardware works04:20
litropysubcool, degru, is there something oyu did to make this happen?04:20
NimbleI used the logout menu item in unity04:20
Degrulitropy: i googled it and told him to do sudo iptables -F04:21
Degrulitropy: then reboot04:21
litropysubcool, are you sure your modem is connected to the Internet?04:21
Degrusubcool: have you tried pinging other devices on the network?04:21
madbotNimble, maybe try experimenting that out04:21
Nimblemadbot, will do04:22
litropysubcool, have you tried using another box to check to see if it's an issue with your router./modem?04:22
Nimblethanks04:22
madbotoften no logout means something was terminated prematurely04:22
subcoolDegru, yes i've tried to ping other things. i even had the router ping the client.. and it failed04:22
madbotlike hard shutting off your computer04:22

subcooli put a liveusb on- and its works04:23
subcoolit was working fine 6 hours ago when i was at a family members house04:23

closetoopenany more ideas. i am recieving none of the prompts i am supposed to be getting. i know for a fact my flash drive is configured as a live boot disc because i used startup disc creator to make it so from the iso i downloaded from the ubuntu website yet i still get the error and no prompts to upgrade the /cdrom/media dir with new packages eventhough it is saying packages are missing04:24
airlynxCan I do a reinstall of Ubuntu without affecting any of the current MBR or grub configurations?04:25

DarkHaloSo i'm trying to install this and i'm having some issues making the program04:27
DarkHalohttp://bit.ly/13AFWrG04:27
litropysubcool, nevermind, you can't connect04:27
Degrusubcool: actually it's "sudo apt-get remove --purge networkmanager && sudo apt-get install networkmanager04:27
Degrusubcool: but without a network connection it will probably not work on the second part04:27
litropysubcool, don't do it - you'll lose nm04:27
subcoollitropy, lol- yea.. i was just about to say that04:28
Degrulitropy: you could download the proper package on a different computer, copy it over, and do dpkg -i04:28
litropyDegru, aside: why not just --reinstall?04:28
BlueNexuswhats a good app or emmulator for ubuntu that can run Droid apps?04:28
Degrulitropy: because --purge clears configs and stuff... i think04:28

litropysubcool, after you reboot, don't do anything other than open a terminal, ping ubuntu.com, wait for like 10 secs, then run dmesg and paste your terminal contents into paste.ubuntu.com ... and ya, you're gonna need to stick your terminal contents on a thumbdrive and then use another computer to upload.04:35

trollboyHowdy, so I'm installing Ubuntu Server, I have 1 500GB, and 3 2TB drives.  I've enough 3TB drives to make a raid 5 array, I select 3 drives on the md screen then 0 spares.. and it tells me I only selected 2 drives which isn't enough05:36
Degruinsomniac_lemon: 32-bit or 64-bit?05:36
trollboyUbuntu Server 12.10 64Bit05:36
Degrutrollboy: was talking to insomniac_lemon05:37
insomniac_lemonDegru I know how to install it from the deb Degru, I'm trying to do it from terminal05:37
insomniac_lemonIf that's what you're trying to say05:37
trollboyOh sorry, I didn't even see you ask Degru, merely being thorough, good looking out though05:37
Degruinsomniac_lemon: you can download it from wget and get the deb that way05:37
insomniac_lemonCan'05:38
Degruinsomniac_lemon: doesn't it automatically add the repos?05:38
tamahi. I am back.05:38
Degruinsomniac_lemon: tell me your arch05:38
insomniac_lemonDegru, yes, but I was hoping I could add the repository instead so it was not dependant on architecture.05:38
Degruinsomniac_lemon: the .deb package adds the repository for you.05:39
insomniac_lemonYes, I know05:39
Degrutama: is the connection working out for you?05:39
insomniac_lemonDegru, I'm making a script, and I want it to be as machine-independant as possible05:40
Degruinsomniac_lemon: oh, in that case i don't know.05:40
insomniac_lemonThat's why I wanted to use a repository instead05:40
tamaDegru yes thanks. :D05:40
Degruinsomniac_lemon: chromium-browser package is virtually the same though.05:40
tamaI just realized that if I put 192.168.1.1 (modem ip) on dns server box on the network properties of my laptop (192.168.0.2), the ping will freeze after a few lines.05:40
tamai've tried 127.0.0.1 as dns server but I can't connect.05:41
tamaIs there something that I' missing?05:41
insomniac_lemonDegru, Chrome is more controlled by Google, like how it has Pepperflash instead of a straight adobe flash plugin05:41
Degruinsomniac_lemon: well, i'll find something05:41
Degrutama: so you can't connect anymore?05:41
tamaYes Degru.05:41
insomniac_lemonDegru, do you know if there I can append my sources.list to add the repository instead?05:41
tamaI should reload the network again if I want to connect.05:42
insomniac_lemonAutomatically, using a command05:42
Degruinsomniac_lemon: i'll look it up in a moment05:42
tama*I must05:42
Degrutama: oh, try running the stuff in the script05:42
tamaTried that, but it always need a network restart from the laptop.05:43
Degrutama: and after that it works?05:43
tamayes, onle to freeze again after a few miniutes.05:43
Degruinsomniac_lemon: i'll look in my sources.list to see if I can find the correct repo05:43
tama*only05:43
coolmanlgunheeding: thanks for the link. I can browse my LAN webserver by typing the ip address. It doesn't take a name though. any work around for that?05:43
Degrutama: hmmm strange.05:43
insomniac_lemonI know the correct repo already, Degru05:44
tamawhat is this dns server?05:44
unheedingcoolmanlg: add it to /etc/hosts05:44
subcoollitropy, Degru it errors, due to dependencies05:44
tamaMaybe it is freeze because my modem is old?05:44
subcoolnm-applet errored too05:44
insomniac_lemonAlthough when I try to add it, it doesn't add correctly, Degru05:44
unheedingfor instance, i have my server as "home" and it points at the public ip address05:44
litropysubcool, thought it might. You're gonna need to download those, too.05:44
tamahow can I move this dns server from my modem to my PC?05:44
Degrutama: oh, you can try using 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 for the dns05:44
coolmanlgunheeding: ok. Thanks.05:44
subcoollitropy, lol - ok.. there are a bunch.. how long u gonna be around?05:45
tamaOk. I'll try that Degru thanks. :D05:45
litropysubcool, not sure.05:45
insomniac_lemonDegru, although the odd thing is, it does not show up in my sources.list file, although it is listed in Synaptic05:45

subcoollitropy, ok- ill try to rush..05:46
litropyDegru, any way subcool can use his CD for the dependencies?05:46
Degrutama: go to your network manager config on your laptop and find your ethernet connection. Click edit and see if you can find something to put the dns in05:46
Degrulitropy: not sure. I'm not an expert. I've pretty much done all this through google and past experience.05:46
Degrulitropy: he could try putting the cd in and doing apt-get install?05:47
Degrulitropy: assuming the cd is in his sources05:48
subcooli dont have a cd- only usb05:48
tamaYes, I know how to do that. I just want to ask where did you get those numbers, Degru ? are they some kind of basic number for dns?05:48

tamabtw it works great, thanks. :D05:48
Degrutama: they are the google dns servers05:48
Degrutama: i think the problem was that there was no dns server on the desktop so it couldn't connect or something.05:49
tamaoh, I see. So I can go search another dns server on the internet to put it there right?05:49
tamathanks for the knowledge degru. :D05:49
Degrutama: yeah.05:49
tamaThat means I can install dns server on my laptop or pc, right? :D05:49
tamaWhat is the different then? Internet speed?05:50
Degrutama: no, it's just if the standard dns doesn't work i use google dns.05:50
tamaOh, I see... :D05:50
Degrutama: you can use these dns ip's on both your desktop and laptop if you wish05:51

melodyintranceterafl0ps: I'll test it out and see how I go.06:32

Degrusubcool: quick! sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome06:41
subcoollitropy, yes-06:42
histomelodyintrance: yes clonezilla is a livecd and yes for dd also you can use the ubuntu install disk and dd pipe to gzip06:42
histomelodyintrance: that's all clonezilla is going to do but just makes it easier for the users06:42
melodyintrancehisto: does clonezilla save a compressed image file so it only saves the 'used' bits instead of the unused space (entire hard disk size)06:43
terafl0pshisto: I've done the dd | gzip thing before.  It definitely works, but it always seems to take forever.  I think some of the other tools like clonezilla, mondorescue, partimage, etc. are more intelligent about handling the free space.06:43
subcoolDegru, great attempt- but its not getting past the DNS issues06:44

histomelodyintrance: yes both will accomplish the same thing.06:44
litropyDegru, I'm looking into it06:44
histomelodyintrance: clonezilla will also allow you to backup to network share etc... it's really easy for end user.06:44

Degruhisto: his internet access was royally screwed up by ufw, and now we have to reinstall network-manager-gnome to get it to work06:46
litropysubcool, vi is a terminal-based text editor06:46
subcoollol litropy i know what it is06:47
Degrulitropy: nano is easier06:47
histoDegru: why not purge the ufw settings06:47
subcooleh-06:47
subcooli like vi06:47
Degruhisto: we did that06:47
litropysubcool, sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf06:47
subcoolhhmm still cant remote in06:48
litropyyou want to put nameserver 8.8.8.8 under eth006:48
insomniac_lemonSo after I add the Chrome repository and do sudo apt-get update it tells me I have a malformed sources.list. If I go into synaptic and remove the Chrome source repo (leaving the binary) and try again it works and installs. Is there a way I can add the binary repo without the source repo, or remove the source repo in terminal?06:48
litropysubcool, ^^06:48
Degruhisto: we completely purged ufw from the system, but we also tried reinstalling network-manager which screwed something else up and blah blah blah internet not working06:48
terafl0pshisto: It's the difference between sector-to-sector copying and reading the filesystem to determine what should be incorporated in the restored version.06:48
nearsthi ppl06:48
litropysubcool, and nameserver 8.8.4.4 also under eth006:49
litropysubcool, delete any other nameserver line under eth006:49
nearstwhy not nameserver at /etc/resolv.conf ?06:49
terafl0pshisto: Perfect example: Ghost used to not understand ext3fs so if you made a backup of a linux partition with ghost it would literally take every bit regardless of whether it was free space in ext3fs or not.06:49
litropysubcool, remote will come later, if I'm/others are up for it.06:50
subcoollol06:50
terafl0pshisto:  The same partition backed up with partimage could take a fraction of the size and still restore to a working state because it didn't backup all the free space.06:50
subcoolwell id thought it work since it IP based06:50
litropysubcool, ya what does it say when you try, anyway06:51
subcoollitropy, no route to host06:51
Degruthis is so frustrating06:51
litropysubcool, btw I gotta ask, what the hell were you doing that caused this lol06:51
Degrulitropy: ufw firewall06:52
Degrulitropy: i think06:52
litropyDegru, what, he just ... installed it and then it borked everything?06:52
litropyDegru, I don't believe that.06:52
Degrulitropy: installed and uninstalled and it left behind some config06:53
histoterafl0ps: there are better tools than just plain dd also. More advanced versions. dcfldd ddresuce dc3dd etc...06:53
dumontI have hardware SSD level full disk encryption, should I also do software FDE via ubuntu?06:53
litropyDegru, I still need to locally open up my vnc port so I can vnc to my server. UFW is like a rabid pitbull/guard dog, admittedly.06:54
histoterafl0ps: or you could rsync it if you want more speed06:54
subcoollitropy, there is no mention of eth-anything.06:54
Degrulitropy: yeah, never heard of it before this06:54
dumonthow does software ubuntu FDE affect other partitions on the disk? is it per partition or per disk? what if I want to dual boot to windows on another partition of the disk that has FDE via ubuntu06:54
litropysubcool, okay. Hold.06:55
litropyWtf ... how is he even getting networking if there's no config for eth006:55
subcooljust a couple name servers litropy , and i didnt do anything. i was at my sisters, on the interent.. came home. - nothing worked06:55
litropysubcool, but the file does have stuff in it, right?06:56
subcoollitropy, yeah, two nameservers and a home=06:56
Degrulitropy: could he get a working config from another computer?06:56
litropyDegru, yah, but he probably doesn't have a config that can be copied and pasted exactly06:57
Degrulitropy: what do you mean?06:57
boydoyhi! i ask what Name of software i can use for ticketing system?06:57
Degrulitropy: aren't most default configs identical?06:58
boydoyi hope its open source and easy for config and install06:58

litropyDegru, you know what's funny ... my resolv.conf has one line: nameserver 127.0.0.106:59
Degrulitropy: wait lemme check mine07:00
litropyDegru, admittedly it's kinda a custom setup, but ... ya.07:00
apwbdjplitropy, mine too, it's the usual07:00
Degrulitropy: yep, mine too. with a search home line at the end.07:01
terafl0pshisto: I never used the other dd variants.  Rsync is great for file-level backups, but it won't really do the job for a full system restore unless you are okay with the idea of restoring your bootloader and partition layout through a separate process.  I actually have a laptop that I backup to a USB disk that way because I figure if the disk in the machine fails, the first thing I'll do is a clean Ubuntu re-install on the new disk anyway.07:01
Degrulitropy, subcool: so it's not dns/nameserver.07:01
subcoolnope07:02
Degrusubcool: reset the nameserver thing to 127.0.blah.blah07:02
subcoolDegru, litropy two nameserver and search=home07:02
litropyScrew it. subcool: just put two lines there. Delete everything else: line 1: nameserver: 8.8.8.8 line 2: nameserver 8.8.4.407:02
subcoolk07:02
Degrusubcool: there should be "search home" not "search=home"07:03
Degrusubcool: put "search home" into line three.07:03
histolitropy: you can't edit the resolv.conf file07:03
insomniac_lemonSo nobody knows why adding a deb repo is making my sources.list file "malformed" because of a source repo, or how to make it not do that/reverse it (using terminal)?07:04
histowell you can but it will be overwritten if nm is installed07:04
histoand resolvconf package07:04
litropyhisto, we're just doing this so he can hopefully have a connection and reinstall stuff07:04
insomniac_lemonAlso, is it possible to get Autodesk Maya installed in Ubuntu without Wine?07:04
histoinsomniac_lemon: commend out the repo does it resolve the issue?07:04
subcoolDegru, k07:04
insomniac_lemonhisto if I delete the source repo, it resolves the issue07:05
litropysubcool, make sure you save it. cat /etc/resolv.conf to confirm. then restart networking ...07:05
histolitropy: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf    would be sufficient then.07:05
Degruhisto: that's what we're doing07:05
histoinsomniac_lemon: What was the error.07:05
litropysudo /etc/init.d/networking restart07:05
Degruhisto: no route to hosta07:05
litropysubcool, ^^07:05
subcoolk07:05
histoDegru: huh?07:06
litropyhisto, he has other nameservers in there, system could get confused.07:06
litropyhisto, so we're having him delete everything07:06
histolitropy: using > would put that as the only thing int he file07:06
insomniac_lemonhisto: it says my sources.list file is malformed and it could not reach the repo (or something like that) and Chrome will fail to install.... removing the source repo stops this issue07:06
litropyhisto, oh.07:06
histolitropy: do it the hard way if you want doesn't bother me.07:06
Degrusubcool: delete the second nameserver. leave only 8.8.8.807:07
histoinsomniac_lemon: can you paste.ubuntu.com your sources.list?07:07
litropyhisto, I thought otherwise. Yoou're right. subcool, you can do it either way. 8.8.4.4 is just a backup.07:07
terafl0psDegru: "No route to host" isn't a DNS error.07:07
histolitropy: using >> redirect appends07:07
Degruterafl0ps: then waht is it07:07
litropyhisto, thx07:07
boydoyyes equivalents07:07
histolitropy: np07:07
terafl0psDegru: I think he is missing a default gateway.07:08
Degruterafl0ps: how would we add one?07:08
terafl0psDo you know the IP of your router?07:08
terafl0psroute add default gw ip_address_of_router07:08
Degruterafl0ps: ask subcool.07:08
insomniac_lemonhisto, not really... It's for a script, so I've been doing it on VMs which I found out how to fix the issue. I add the repo, it adds a binary and source version. I remove the source version, it works like it theoretically should.07:09
Degrusubcool: whatever terafl0ps said ^^07:09
subcoollitropy, Degru - k did it07:09
Degrusubcool: route add default gw ip_of_router?07:09
litropysubcool, you restarted networking?07:10
terafl0psDegru: This all assumes he has a valid IP address on the interface too.07:10
histoinsomniac_lemon: okay07:10
litropyCan others chime in? restarting networking loads resolv.conf into the system again, right?07:11
histoinsomniac_lemon: perhaps their source repo is down or your syntax in your script is wrong07:11
mrsudoerSo, I just resized my ubuntu home partition so I could create a NTFS partition and install windows alongside ubuntu (this was done with a live gparted). When I booted into Ubuntu after the resize, Ubuntu would run into file errors and not reach the login screen...so I ran a fsck and it fixed those file problems, and now I'm back in Ubuntu. Problem is...things are weird. For example, my desktop effects stopped working. But more impor07:11
mrsudoerFor example: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colingille/freshlight07:11
histolitropy: right cuz of resolvconf package07:11
mrsudoer^^^ that doesn't work, and I can't tell if it's a problem on my end or if that repo doesn't exist07:11
histolitropy: you add nameservers to /etc/network/interfaces file now.07:11
mrsudoerCan anyone help please?07:11
litropysubcool, you restarted networking?07:11
litropyhisto, ugh. Wanna walk him through it? I'm basically a human google proxy at this point.07:12
=== Logan_ is now known as Guest15281
=== Logan__ is now known as Logan_
litropyhisto, us amatuers have been at this for hours.07:13
insomniac_lemonhisto, here's my command: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' note that removing /chrome from it yeilds the same result (and that's the repo I have from the .deb)07:13
subcoollitropy, yes07:13
Degruhisto: i'm like a human-human-google proxy07:13
terafl0psLitropy: I don't know what is going on with his network manager or the whole background, but if you just need to get him on the net quickly.  We can manually configure a wired interface pretty quickly if we know the subnet he should be on.07:13
histolitropy: is there a reason he doesn't use network manager?07:13
litropyhisto, only that it's not installed07:13
Degruhisto: it's uninstalled07:13
litropyhisto, he's connected via ethernet07:13
subcoolok- soorry i missed a bit of that.07:13
histosubcool: Do you have a router?07:14
litropyhisto, he has a valid ip to his router.07:14
Degruhisto: we need to install the nm again07:14
subcoolthe file did contain my router as a nameserver07:14
litropyhisto, he can ping via IP07:14
Degrulitropy: wait, he can ping google via ip now?07:14
litropyDegru, yes07:14
Degrulitropy: man, this is so confusing07:15
subcoolyour telling me07:15
litropyDegru, he's good - he just needs DNS resolution. Then, he can start reinstalling away.07:15
terafl0psThen he's on the Internet, the temporary resolv.conf fix should do it.07:15
mrsudoerDoes anyone think they can help me? Or would my time be better spent rebooting into different DEs/recovery?07:15
subcoolterafl0ps, everything "shoulda" worked by now07:15
litropyDegru, apt-get works as soon as he resolves DNS07:15
subcooli did restart the network, but- havent pinged anything.07:15
subcoolim still lost on how my network manager crapped out. :/07:16
histosubcool: ping google.com07:16
subcoolwhy cant i remote in via ip?07:16
subcoolits just ssh07:16
Degrusubcool: look in /etc/network/interfaces07:17
Degrusubcool: see if you can add 8.8.8.8 there.07:17
subcoolk- couldnt ping www.google.com07:17
subcoolbut the IP 174 worked07:17
histosubcool: add your nameserver to /etc/network/interfaces file07:17
grahamsavageok i've got a window that's disappeared i can see it on ctrl-~07:18
grahamsavagewhen i click on it it doesn't appear07:18
grahamsavagewhat can i do?07:18
histosubcool: under the iface eth0 section add dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.407:18
Degruhisto: just add the same thing as resolv.conf?07:18
alfirusHello everyone. I'm facing battery drain problem. My Lenovo GT580 out of battery in less then 2 hours. However when i using Windows 7, it can last long up to 3 1/2 hours. How to overcome this problem? I already post in forum few days ago but not yet get feedback07:18
Degruhisto: nvm07:18
Degru!battery07:19
Degruubottu: !battery07:19
Degru!battery07:20
litropy!hello07:20
histoDegru: dns-nameservers option.  The other way it could be done is to edit he /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head  file and restart networking. The head file controls what is written to resolv.conf by resolvconf package.  Or you can stop resolvconf from updating by sudo resolvoncf --disable-updates  however I would just edit the interfaces file07:20
histo!search battery | Degru07:20
ubottuFound:07:20
histoalfirus: what version of ubuntu?07:20
grahamsavageso hidden window that won't show up?07:20
grahamsavagewhat can i do?07:20
grahamsavagesuper+w and alt-~  and alt-tab won't bring it up07:21
histosubcool: after editing the /etc/network/interfaces file restart networking and rejoice at your workign dns07:21
litropygrahamsavage, is the window important?07:21
subcoolhisto, do i add it like that? or were u talking short?07:21
grahamsavageyeah it's my chrome window07:21
grahamsavagewith all my tabs07:21
grahamsavageoopen07:22
Degrusubcool: edit /etc/network/interfaces and add "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4" and then restart networking07:22
litropysubcool: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart07:22
alfirushisto, 12.10. During using ubuntu, i just run chrome only, nothing else07:22
subcoolis this going to fix itself after i get "running"07:22
grahamsavagebut i'm new to this OS so i'm really just trying to work out how to switch back to it07:22
subcoolso there is a comma after 8. ok07:22
LovCAPONEQ: There is only thing that stops to from installing Ubuntu as my main daily OS... iTunes... Please tell me that there is an Ubuntu alternative... Any?07:22
grahamsavagei'm finding general window management a bit buggy (either buggy or i need some new skills)07:22
litropysubcool, after you're up, we're going to reinstall networkmanager, and anything else you might need.07:22
Degrusubcool: after all this install network-manager-gnome07:22
grahamsavageLovCapone: yeah i haven't found an itunes replacement07:23
histosubcool: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces   then under iface eth0 .....   line add dns-nameserver 8.8.8.807:23
litropysubcool, may as well look at ssh as well ... I'm up ofr it.07:23
subcoollitropy, Degru histo still cant ping google.com07:23

histosubcool: get rid of the comma and just add one07:23
litropysubcool, same 'hang'?07:23
subcoolyep07:23
apwbdjpLovCAPONE, Ubuntu has alternatives, libgtkpod handle many of apples devices, but it still has trouble with the most recent onces07:24
grahamsavageLovCapone: run it in a VM07:24
histosubcool: dns-nameservers  8.8.8.8    I had a typo earlier and forgot the s I believe07:24
apwbdjpLovCAPONE, for iPohd Nano 6th Gen, for example, you'll need a VM, or keeping a dual boot07:24
subcoolstill hangs07:24
grahamsavageyeah vm is a really good solution07:24
LovCAPONEapwbdjp: iPod Touch 4th gen?07:24
grahamsavagebecause you can just keep it running with only 2gb of ram07:25
grahamsavageand still have it very snappy07:25
litropysubcool, remember you have to restart networking after every change07:25
apwbdjpLovCAPONE, not sure, really07:25

ubottuLovCAPONE: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee07:25
histosubcool: okay echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base && sudo networking restart07:25
litropysubcool, does dmesg seem to have any clues near the bottom?07:25
Degru"subcool: ping http://www.google.com" works now?07:25
LovCAPONEOk thanks guys.. got my project for tonite07:26
insomniac_lemonAlright, Degru and Histo, I think I solved my issue, with the command sudo apt-add-repository 'deb-src http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' --remove right after adding the binary repo07:26
litropysubcool, keep in mind, histo has precedence over anything I say07:26
subcoollol07:26
histosubcool: is it working now or not?07:26
litropysubcool, but if you're nearby, may as well try my stuff as well. I won't get in his way.07:26
insomniac_lemonI still want my commands to be quieter, like not printing out "processing triggers" and things like that07:27
insomniac_lemonI just want progress and no logging07:27

wadSo I got samba running, yay! Now I'm just trying to share the printer attached to the server, over the LAN. But whenever I try to print anything, it wants me to authenticate. How do I turn that off completely? Anyone on the LAN should be able to print all they want, without having to enter a username/password. I'm not going to create accounts on the server for everyone who uses this LAN!07:52

prototypeany solution ???08:00
prototypefor kernel panic08:00
nyuszika7hprototype: looks like a broken kernel module.08:00
iceroothisto: and what is the problem? you always have a MTA installed on your system08:00
william__rebuild the kernel08:00
histoprototype: memcheck and md5sum your iso just to be sure08:00
nyuszika7hwe could probably help more if you could give the full backtrace08:00
prototypeiso is fine08:01
nyuszika7hwilliam__: rebuild the kernel on the live CD/USB?08:01
iceroothisto: and the local maildir is still used from postfix, so you dont need onyl smtp but also maildir08:01
nyuszika7hhe is getting that at the end of the installation or something08:01
histoiceroot: it's installing something that's not needed08:01
william__any log?08:01
histoiceroot: What is the default MTA in 12.10? I don't see one by default08:01
nyuszika7hbrb08:02
iceroot!mta | histo08:02
ubottuhisto: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA08:02
litropyhisto, the IP is to google.08:02
litropysubcool, you still here?08:02
prototypei am beginner plzz freinds solve my prob08:02

ubottuvbgunz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.08:03
histosubcool: does network work now?08:03
litropysubcool, okay - I'm just watchin histo at this point.08:04
histoiceroot: not here on 12.1008:04
histoiceroot: hense my question on why it's needed08:04
histoiceroot: mutt doesnt need it anymore08:04
vbgunzmaybe best was a bad word. What is the most compatible bluetooth gamepad controller that is no fuss on linux?08:04
iceroothisto: create a bug if you think its not needed anymore08:04
histosubcool: okay mount your hard drive08:04
histosubcool: well first make sure network works on the liveusb I guess.08:05
iceroothisto: also have a look at #mutt and see if it is not needed anymore, i think its still needed not only for smtp08:05

iceroothisto: there is no dependency for postfix08:06
hxmhello good morning08:06
iceroothisto: just for mta and this is postfix by default on ubuntu08:06
histoiceroot: Okay the issue is that postfix is not default in 12.10 then08:06

subcoolim just getting up. i tried to chroot the drive, but it says the thing is locked..08:07
histosubcool: where did it get mounted to?08:07
TakeItEZiceroot: mutt has no mta-dependency at all08:07
hxmthe .sock file exists and i dont have idea what to try08:07
subcoolhisto, /media/longstringofcrap08:07
william__rm -rf08:07
histosubcool: sudo chroot /media/<tab_key>08:07
histowilliam__: dont' say that here08:07
histoTakeItEZ: it can handle smtp since version 1.15.508:08
iceroothisto: i dont have 12.10 so i can not test it but i thought postfix is still default on 12.1008:08
TakeItEZhisto: thats why mutt has no mta-dependency at all08:08
histoTakeItEZ: it does here wants to install postfix08:08
histoTakeItEZ: iceroot in 12.10 that is08:08
iceroothisto: but when you have a mta installed by default (which is the default) mutt should not pull postfix08:08
TakeItEZhisto: then use --no-install-recommends08:08
prototypethere is no solution for .. me   freinds08:09
histoiceroot: mutt shouldn't be pulling an MTA anyways it doesn't need one anymroe that's the whole point.08:09
iceroothisto: you already have a mta08:09
histosubcool: then you can sudo apt-get install network-manger network-manager-gnome08:09
histoiceroot: Are you not reading what I'm typing? or are you just misunderstanding what I'm saying?08:09
subcoolhisto, i did that..08:09
TakeItEZhisto: it doesn't pull any mta on 12.10, just shows an mta as recommen08:10
iceroothisto: 12.10 has a default mta08:10
subcoolhisto, im in as roo@kubuntu:/#08:10
iceroothisto: if it is postfix, exim or something else does not matter08:10
iceroothisto: but 12.10 comes with a default mta08:10
subcoolhisto, but when i try aptget- it says the package is locked08:10
histosubcool: okay then apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome08:10
histoiceroot: it's not exim or postfix08:10
subcoolwait08:10
TakeItEZiceroot: server you mean? desktop hasn't08:10
subcooli think i have a different partition for apt08:10
icerootTakeItEZ: cron is pulling a mta08:11
prototypei thought i got solutions here ..but disappointed08:11
icerootTakeItEZ: and cron is default on desktop and server08:11
histoiceroot: NOT IN 12.10 desktop08:11
histoffs08:11
icerooti will boot my 12.10 vm and have a look08:11
histoplease do08:11
subcoolhisto, ^^08:11
histoiceroot: rather than argue with me08:11
TakeItEZiceroot: not here, even cron just recommends/suggest a mta08:11
histosubcool: what?08:11
subcoolhisto, apt is its own parition08:11
histoTakeItEZ: try and install mutt in 12.10 it will want postfix08:12
icerootonly 12.04 vms here :(08:12
TakeItEZhisto: it doesn't i just tested08:12
histoTakeItEZ: The following NEW packages will be installed:08:12
histo  libtokyocabinet9 mutt postfix08:12
historeally08:12
litropysubcool, can you ping google.com?08:12
TakeItEZhisto: "libtokyocabinet9 mutt" here08:12
histoDoes here that's bizare you must be running 12.10 super edition08:12
TakeItEZhisto: 12.10 64bit desktop nothing special08:13
Flannelhisto: If you already have a MTA, its satisfied.08:13
subcoollitropy, no08:13
subcoollitropy, oh= yeah08:13
litropysubcool, so you can?08:13
histoFlannel: TakeItEZ I have a default install of 12.10 64bit and you try to install mutt it wants to install postfix. YOU DON"T NEED MTA for mutt08:13
Flannelhisto: default-mta or mail-transport-agent, both of which are virtual, the former is postfix, the latter is a whole bunch of things.08:13
subcoollitropy, yea08:13
iceroothisto: super edition?08:13
litropysubcool, okay. So what partition is apt on?08:13
histoiceroot: let me make a pastebin since you don't believe me08:13
litropysubcool, same as /home?08:14
iceroothisto: i am downloading 12.10 right now08:14
Flannelhisto: It's a recommends, yes, but by default apt installs recommends.  You can certainly install it without, with --no-install-recommends08:14
TakeItEZhisto: as i said before, then use --no-install-recommends08:14
subcoollitropy, no- its own. its titled apt08:15
TakeItEZdpkg -l|grep mail08:15
TakeItEZsry08:15
histoiceroot: Flannel TakeItEZ http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584536/ really???08:15
litropysubcool, jesus.08:15
histoFlannel: It shouldn't be a recomend that's my point08:15
histosubcool: what are you talking about apt partition?08:16
Flannelhisto: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends, done.08:16
subcoolhold on- ill can use it to irc and i can copy shit08:16
histosubcool: if you chrooted and you had networkign on the live cd you can now instlal apps with apt-get08:16
ikoniasubcool: tone down the language please.08:16
litropysubcool, not sure what to do with that. BTW, just out of curiousity, why did you partition it this way?08:16
subcool  >:08:16
histoFlannel: THERE IS A BUG THAT IT WANTS TO INSTALL ONE CAN YOU SEE THIS TEXT NO MTA IS NEEDED OR SHOULD BE RECOMENDED FOR MUTT08:16
TakeItEZhisto: ubuntus apt is configured to install recommends by default, so change that08:16
subcool   >:|08:16
iceroothisto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5584538/08:16
Flannelhisto: If you think it shouldn't be a recommends, file a bug.  It's definitely a recommends based off of the debian packaging guidelines.08:17
subcoollitropy, TJ helped me-08:17
Flannelhisto: chill out.08:17
litropysubcool, helped you do what?08:17
histoFlannel: Why is it recommended?08:17
iceroothisto: #mutt08:17
histoplease enlighten us all08:17
iceroothisto: ask them08:17
TakeItEZhisto: ask the debian-maintainers08:17
Flannelhisto: The PACKAGE has a "recommends" for mutt of an MTA.  Recommends is "Package A recommends Package B, if the package maintainer judges that most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by B."08:17
subcoollitropy, i had a busted 11.01 system, and he helped me sepeate home, and install via LVM08:17
histoiceroot: yeah i'm in there it's not needed at all since 1.15.508:17
iceroothisto: #mutt08:17
histoFlannel: the maintainer is wrong08:17
iceroothisto: or ask the debian maintainers08:18
subcoollitropy, so- during that he made like 5 partition to seperate stuff08:18
Flannelhisto: Do you have an actual question?08:18
iceroothisto: recommend != depends08:18
histoFlannel: whatever08:18
litropysubcool, dunno why. Okay.08:18
histoFlannel: I asked why it's doing that. It shouldn't be I will be filing a bug.08:18
Flannelhisto: If not, please let other people use the channel.  If you do need support, feel free to ask a question.08:18
subcoolgive me a second08:18

Flannelhisto: I'm glad.  You can install it with --no-install-recommends and you won't be asked to install an MTA.08:18
histosubcool: can you paste the output of lsblk08:18
HwkillerPipe84: what exactly "doesn't work" what is the error?08:19
subcoolhisto, working on it08:19
litropysubcool, no idea how to tell apt what's what while apt is on another partition. Wait for histo to respond.08:19
histoFlannel: I'm glad that you don't seem to understand that the package shouldn't be recomending something that is not needed and provides no features08:19
subcoollitropy, give me a min- you';ll see08:19

TakeItEZFlannel: mutt doesn't need an mta to send mail08:20
histoFlannel: mutt no longer needs an MTA since 1.15.5 it has SMTP built in and can use IMAP and POP but continue spouting nonsense08:20

histosubcool_: Why did you put /var on a different part? is this a server?08:39
histoero-jiji: rsync will use ssh08:39
subcool_histo, i didnt create the partitions. - TJ helped me..08:39
subcool_histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/558457408:40
histosubcool_: don't use sudo08:40
subcool_E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)08:40
subcool_E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?08:40
histosubcool_: you are root on that partiton08:40
subcool_histo, yes08:40
ero-jiji@histo is that good or bad? i only have ssh and x2go access, im just trying to find the most reliable way to move 4tb ><08:41
histoero-jiji: well using scp is going to be over ssh also. So I really don't understand what you are asking. Rsync will provide you with the ability to resume and ensure the files match.08:42
ero-jijiid preffer to move the entire folder at once, as theres way to many individual backups to keep track of ><08:42
ero-jijiso rsync is the more reliable option08:42
histoero-jiji: right08:42
histoero-jiji: rsync -av /folder user@remoteserver:/remotelocation08:43
ero-jiji@histo thats all i needed to know thanks, after i do the copy, is there an easy way to compare the 2 different servers folders so i can make sure theirs no problems before i wipe the old one?08:44
histoero-jiji: you could hash them08:45
ero-jijiboss would kill me if something happened, and they went to grab a backup and it was corrupt etc lol08:45
histoero-jiji: md5sum08:45
ero-jijiahh never thought of that08:45
histoero-jiji: that's the whole point of rsync though it can also do hashing...08:45
ero-jijioh? it can verify as its moving? didnt know that <-ubuntu wannabe ^^08:45
histoero-jiji: that's what it does.08:46
ero-jijieven better, i appriciate the input08:46
histoero-jiji: in a nutshell08:46
tekkbuzzanyone know of a command to see if a certain package is installed or not?08:46
histosubcool_: did you try apt-get without sudo08:46
subcool_histo, yes-08:47
histotekkbuzz: dpkg -l | grep packagename  if it's ii it's installed08:47
histosubcool_: and then?08:47
subcool_histo root@kubuntu:/# apt-get install network-manager08:47
subcool_E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)08:47
subcool_E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?08:47
tekkbuzzhisto: thanks, but that will spool out all the packages, wouldn't that take a while?08:47
histosubcool_: yeah you need to mount that var partition to /media/long.string.of.numbers.for.root/var08:48
melodyintranceCan someone tell me how to add "Boot from CD" option in Grub2? (I understand that I can control this in bios but I have to learn how to use Grub2 to achieve the same outcome) Thanks08:48
histotekkbuzz: how many packages do you ahve installed?08:48
tekkbuzznot sure, but a lot.08:49
histosubcool_: then it will work08:49
histotekkbuzz: it's rather fast.08:49
tekkbuzzhang on, I'll give it a go.08:49
subcool_histo, do i have to create the folder?08:50
histosubcool_: no08:50

litropysubcool, i want to remind you that a full reinstall with backups would have been easier. Really, if I were you, so long as all I had were just documents and other non-system oriented things to back up, I'd just wipe all, forget the partitioning scheme, and reinstall. Like I said, the fewer partitions you have, the better. You mentioned something about sattering your system across partitions so you could somehow preserve your 11.04 setup ... it just08:56
litropy complicates things. Really, if you have no reservations about just doing a clean install on one partition, deleting the fragmented system you have, do it.08:56

litropysubcool_, I mean, if you haven't customized your system to the point where you need it to be the way it is, just wipe and reinstall, bro.08:59
histolitropy: subcool_ or just moutn like I suggested above and install your network-manager packages09:00
subcool_histo it doesnt like that dev/mapper/ command09:00

histosubcool_: aparently not09:03
litropysubcool_ it's just really odd with the partitions and all. Someone better than me, like histo, would tell you different, but considering your lack of understanding of your current setup, I'd just wipe and reinstall, if you just want this to be fixed with no other problems in the future.09:04
nyuszika7hraddy_: I think so09:04
James_IRCApps, etc. Whatever you call them. Not going to get caught up in terminology09:04
nyuszika7hsubcool_: do you mean /dev/mapper doesn't exist or is empty?09:04

DJonesbasiclaser: Hopefully this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/24946/how-do-i-disable-the-drum-beat-sound-on-the-login-screen once you've got it installed10:05
TakeItEZbasiclaser: sudo mv /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system-ready{,-disabled}.ogg10:06
john_ramboflash plugin is installed but cant watch flash content10:06
MuimiI'm using an Ubuntu live CD, and I'd like to be able to attach my phone via USB, so that I can use the keyboard as an input.10:07
basiclaserok just to clarify it is the OSX sound im trying to remove, infact when i turn on my mac, the screen is greyish white a la mac, it makes the mac sound, and then after an akward moment it boots into ubuntu10:07
basiclaseri want to remove the weird mac shell from the computer entirely10:07
TakeItEZbasiclaser: so its a mac issue,you're wrong here10:07
kevin574hi all10:08
basiclaseryes but my only hope is to remove it through ubuntu as i dont have any OSX install discs10:08
TakeItEZbasiclaser: makes more sense to ask in a os-x channel about the changes you have to do than here10:09
basiclaserok thanks, on a similar note, which hd format does debian prefer, if any? and can i format with gparted? im looking but cant see the format option10:10
TakeItEZbasiclaser: ext4 is widely used today, there is no real standard10:10
basiclaserim gonna try 'deleting' all drive content and replacing with zeros in desperate attempt to kill mac sound10:12
basiclaseri get the impression its coming from elsewhere though, the hd appears to be unallocated entirely10:12
TakeItEZbasiclaser: it definetly comes from "somewhere" if the sound appears before you boot into any OS. uefi/bios (hoever apple names it) think10:13
TakeItEZthing10:14
basiclaserwhere do you think that exists? i mean its not necessarily on the hdd right?10:14
basiclaseroh10:14
TakeItEZbasiclaser: EFI, internal ROM, something like that10:14
TakeItEZbasiclaser: thats why you should ask in a mac-channel10:14
DJonesbasiclaser: The other place to ask is probably ##hardware10:15

basiclaserhey guys i intend on dual booting two different linuxes, should i install some sort of grub bootloader thing before installing the OS' ?10:31
icerootbasiclaser: grub will be installed by default10:32
auronandacebasiclaser: if you install ubuntu last then you can use ubuntu's grub to boot the other linux too10:32
icerootbasiclaser: just install the two systems, the second should detect the first one and create grub entries10:32

ubottumbecona: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic12:08

atodexguys, I don't understand this sound fucking madness. I know that I uninstalled pulseaudio, but I can't find how to reinstall it again.

atodexsry for language, but I am really tired12:30
benediktDJones: it's not a question of being able to disable it, i'm asking if there is an ubuntu flavour that does not accept using this as the default or not?12:30
ejvno apologies necessary, sames goes for excuses :)12:30
ikoniabenedikt: don't use it then, there are other distros, good luck12:30

Ben64atodex: how did you uninstall pulseaudio12:31
benediktikonia: so yes, this channel is of use to me, since i'm staying off topic. I've used linux for decades, you dont need to educate me about other distros, thats off-topic.12:31
atodexfollowed a guide online12:31
ikoniabenedikt: ok, then you know the answer.12:31
Ben64atodex: i mean what command did you do12:31
nearstzzz12:31
IzzoDizzowhy a ubuntu flavour benedikt?12:31
benediktand, funnily enough, lack of proper pulseaudio support is why i dont want debian at the moment12:31
benediktIzzoDizzo: ubuntu/canonical have made a buch of technical stuff for linux on the desktop that is really good.12:32
atodexit's insane, I kept getting sound clipping12:32
k1lbenedikt: can we stick to real technical support issues in here? thanks. we have #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss for the other topics12:32
Ben64atodex: maybe you should come back when you're not tired12:32
benediktk1l: i'm not the one discussing. i'm asking a technical question but i get discussions and off-topic replies.12:33
atodexI have to make my sound work eventually, it's just that I don't understand the ALSA, pulseaudio12:33
ejvbenedikt: the other (common) flavors of the ubuntu family are (of course) xubuntu, kubuntu, and lubuntu. if you feel that ubuntu has some shortcomings, you're welcome to use an alternative or fork Ubuntu (good luck) and mold it to your likings.12:33
nearstwhat technical question?12:33
benediktatodex: pulseaudio is a userspace application that talks to ALSA. It sits on top of ALSA, there is a pretty good graphic in the wikipedia article about pulseaudio that explains the big picture12:33
Myrttibenedikt: feel free to use xubuntu, lubuntu or kubuntu, or install gnome-shell on top of the minimal install.12:34
k1lbenedikt: dont play that card. you know what questions you were asking.  since the lense searches are part of unity just dont use unity if you dont want that.12:34
benediktMyrtti: ejv: do they have the same privacy issues as the stock ubuntu version?12:34
atodexso, I have to have ALSA and pulseaudio together, then?12:34
Ben64atodex: no12:34
benediktatodex: no, but thats how ubuntu does it12:34
benediktk1l: i know what i asked, hence why i defended it. something is hould not need to do.12:35
k1lbenedikt: you got your answers. so we can drop that polaraizing sidetalks about that.12:35

m1dlgI've tried on my own with minimal help, but I give up, I am still failing with my Nvidia card and nothing I do works. It's a 32bit 12.10 install, and the card is a 8600 GT 512Mb PCI-e. I have a fairly fresh install, and I appear to have no drivers at all after using the installer for propritory drivers did it's deed and rebooted.

m1dlgbluekaj, thanks for trying14:12
alex88Eagleman: ok.. maybe you need to snat too14:12
alex88and set the source ip to the ubuntu server14:12
Eaglemanyeh that should work14:13
Eaglemanalex88: any idea how this can be changed to snat?  -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.2:338914:15
alex88Eagleman: -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -J SNAT --from-source...etc maybe14:16
alex88but give me a second14:16
alex88-j SNAT --to-source (windows subnet ubuntu's ip)14:17
alen_hi14:18
g0tchak1l, that didnt work14:19
Eaglemanalex88: like this?  -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.2:3389 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.100.1014:20
alex88Eagleman: nope14:20
alex88it's another route14:20
Eaglemanthe source should be 192.168.100.1014:20
alex88-A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -J SNAT --to-source 192.168.100.1014:20
alex88try that14:20
nearsthi ppl14:21
DJJeffim notice that jdb2 is write to disk every 3-5 seconds14:21
DJJeffis there a way to have it speed up14:21
Eaglemanalex88: wont that change everything incoming from the eth0.10 interface and rewrite the source to 100.10 ?14:21
DJJeffso it gets done faster14:21
alex88yup14:22
alex88Eagleman: oh true14:22

patrunjelHi, could anyone please recommend a tool for breaking up a large .tar.bz file into multiple files of a given size?14:24
Eaglemanalex88: hold on this is getting confusing, the hypervisor is kvm on archlinux, this can be avoided. everything on port 4000 needs another source ip address14:24
alex88yup14:25
alex88well, everything coming from eth0.10 and going to windows bix14:25
alex88*box14:25
alex88needs to be snatted14:25
Eaglemanalex88: so i will need this to forward port 4000 to port 3389, this id done with this, -A PREROUTING -i eth0.10 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 4000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.2:3389   and then i need a snat rule14:26
Eagleman-o windows_net_interface  there isnt a real interface which goes to only the windows machine14:26
Eaglemanalex88: so it would become:  -A POSTROUTING -i eth0.10 -o eth1 -J SNAT --to-source 192.168.100.1014:27
Eaglemaneth1 is on 192.168.100.1014:28
alex88Eagleman: yeah, maybe filter by port14:28

spasonAnd I'm not ignorant of command line work etc, but i'm definitely not proficient at it, either.  Is there an easy way to understand the partition needs for ubuntu?14:57
BluesKajspason, yes , only one large partition / and swap, (aka a page file in windows) , or a /, and,  /home and swap , those are the most popular options.15:00

jbobajpratz: you'll get the bootloader menu same as usual, but if you try to boot from external hdd, it won't work15:20
lantiziaZiber, well if you have the .deb file it downloaded then just double click it again and the Ubuntu Software Center will give you an option to reinstall it15:20
Ziberlantizia: ah, good idea15:21
vorlketescott: ok, would booting from / resolve the issue? although insignificant would booting from the entire / slow down boot time?15:21
escottvorlket, no15:21
escottvorlket, if you are booting efi you should be able to mount the efi partition to /boot/efi15:21

escottAnaphaxeton, and NOBODY is doing UEFI 32bit so thats your first problem15:56
vvvvdoes anyone notice how when u click on something in the app launcher there is a delay? almost like u have to click it twice.....15:56

adamxvbox is crap15:56
Anaphaxetonthe answer should be that15:56
Anaphaxetonthank you15:56
escottAnaphaxeton, but if you have 64bit UEFI you cannot (without a special patch) boot a 32bit UEFI OS15:56
Anaphaxetonand i am using vbox+uefi and boot in like 6 sec15:57

Anaphaxetonescott, you sound to be perfectly right15:57
Anaphaxetoni hope the one i am burning this iso for will be satisfied15:57

terowhy when I run ubuntu on my laptop the battery is depleted much more sooner then on windows 7?16:00

escotttero, usually because the graphics card runs a bit harder under linux. you can install and try powertop16:00

SAngeliHi, I already have OpenSSH installed on my ubuntu server. I need sftp service and am confused. Is this an OpenSSH service or do I have to install vsftp? I am reading this official ubuntu doc at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html16:29
SAngeliis vsftpd what I would need to instal? I just need a confirmation16:29
SAngeliif possible16:29
IzzoDizzovsftpd is for normal ftp16:29
PiciSAngeli: FTP and SFTP are two different things.16:30
jackarg_IzzoDizzo: what's gfx? basically i installed nvidia-current and all that bs then i got stuck in 640x480 then i removed it and im back to unity 3D but I'm still stuck in the low resolution. Will bumblebee bring it back?16:30
IzzoDizzodid you run nvidia-xconfig after installing nvidia-current?16:30
PiciSAngeli: If you just want sftp, openssh will provide that.16:30
jackarg_IzzoDizzo what I mean is, will bumblebee enable the default resolution?16:30
jackarg_IzzoDizzo yes16:30
SAngeliPici, so I do not have to install anything else, than.16:30
IzzoDizzojackarg_ look at your xorf.conf16:31
PiciSAngeli: Correct.16:31
guest-SgDPuThey16:31
mshakemy ubuntu is hacked what should i do now ?16:31
SAngeliPici, but vsftpd also provide Secure FTP access, no?16:31
IzzoDizzomshake, hacked how?16:32
PiciSAngeli: No. Just FTP.16:32
mshakeif i knew i wouldn't post here16:32
vexati0nAnyone available? Using Ubuntu Server 12.04. I have about 25 "mount.cifs" processes stuck (from a cron job that runs every hour). these processes cannot be killed no matter how medieval i get with the kill/killall/pkill commands16:32
vexati0nhow do i force them to go away?16:32
IzzoDizzomshake, i've had some success running rkhunter16:32
ert3gomshake, how did you know your ubuntu is hacked?16:32
IzzoDizzomshake, but you never know what exactly the hackers did to your system16:32
jackarg_IzooDizzo here: http://pastebin.com/BgkwmxsX16:33
xxiaowhat's the difference between 'adduser user1 group1' and 'addgroup user1 group1'? are they the same16:33
mshakewell how do i know that if i formated and reinstalled ubuntu that will not happen again16:33
mshakei updated everything16:33
BluesKajjackarg_, looks like you have dual gpus,  intel and nvidia , whether that qualifies as "optimus" , I'm not sure , this the bumble bee tutorial , if it applies to your laptop. http://www.bumblebee-project.org/install.html .make sure your graphics are the "optimus" type first.16:33
IzzoDizzojackarg_, try renaming the xorg.conf to something else, and restart X16:33
xxiao'man addgroup' does not show "addgroup user1 group1" syntax at all16:33
SAngeliPici, I get it. While I am searching do you have handy an official ubuntu doc I can read/follw on how to set OpenSSH for SFTP setup please?16:33
IzzoDizzosee if that does anything16:33
mshakewell it seem ubuntu is less secure than windows16:34
jhutchins_wkmshake: Don't be silly.16:34
PiciSAngeli: You don't need to change anything. It allows this by default.16:34
jackarg_IzzoDizzo: whats the command to restart x16:34
IzzoDizzoalt+f2 and r16:34
IzzoDizzoor just reboot16:34
jackarg_ok16:34
mshakeFirst of all how do i know who is helping me ?16:35
mshakehow to clean my machine ?16:35
IzzoDizzomshake, how did you find out you were hacked? what has changed16:35
jhutchins_wkmshake: Why do you think it's hacked?16:35
SonikkuAmericamshake: If someone mentions your nick (like I just did)16:35
IzzoDizzomshake can't help you without knowing details16:35
mshakewell to tell the story it's from bleepingcomputer channel16:36
mshakesomeone was able to tell what i was doing on my computer16:36
IzzoDizzolike running processes and stuff?16:36
mshakelike what page i was looking at16:36
jhutchins_wkmshake: There are 1800+ people watching, so if someone tries something shady with you we'll all know.16:36
SAngeliPici, there must be a sorf of configuration, no?16:37
CrustyBarnaclemshake: lots of eyes here :-)16:37
kriskropdmshake: do you have a remote display running? vnc, rdp, nx - anything like that?16:37
dr_willisdident we have someone in here last week qwith the same 'issue' - turned out their router was  what was actually 'hacked'16:37
IzzoDizzomshake: is your pc directly connected to the internet? or thought a network16:37
mshakei can't be sure16:37
mshakethrough a router16:38
mshakei rest the router nothing happend16:38
IzzoDizzomshake: only what browser pages you were looking at?16:39
PiciSAngeli: not by default. Take a look at man sshd_config if you want to tweak anything though.16:40
SAngeliPici, ok, thanks. I will16:40
ert3goHello guys.A debconf box popped up while I was trying to install software from Ubuntu software centre.How tgo get rid of it?16:41
kriskropdmshake: you could see if you had some remote display running by doing somehting like this in a terminal 'ps aux | grep "vnc\|rdp\|nx"' but that would be easier to find if you knew of one you were using because there are actually a handful of possible remote servers and they might not include the protocol in their name16:41
kriskropdmshake: but it could also be the "hacker" was looking at firefox memory from a shell or evn just packet sniffing, so anything is really possible if you don't know where to start16:42
ubillihello16:42
BluesKajmshake, your country is monitoring the internet very closely due to your civil war there , maybe that's what happened to you.16:42

kriskropdert3go: you can post it to a paste bin, but make sure you are not going to disclose passwords or something16:45
IzzoDizzolol :)16:45

ddsscwhat's the easiest way to limit the freshly created user to his home dir (rw) , he must not be able to see anything else. command line plz16:46
jackarganyway, IzzoDizzo I don't want to go through intalling nvidia again so do you think I can get it working by installing bumblebee?16:46
ikoniaddssc: it's not a good idea to do that for a shell user16:46
ikoniaddssc: what are you trying to see him seeing ?16:46
ikoniastop him seeing sorry16:46
ddsscikonia, it's supposed to be an ftp user that only has r acess to a single dir in his home dir16:47
IzzoDizzojackarg not sure if yours is an optimus setup16:47
ikoniaddssc: ok - so th question i show do you setup ftp to limit16:47
Gneaddssc: that's up to the ftp daemon config16:47
ikoniaddssc: most ftp daemons have a chroot function16:47
ikoniaddssc: look at that16:47
jackargIzzoDizzo ok so if not what should I do to properly install the drivers and make the most out of my comp16:47
IzzoDizzowell, bumble is really only for optimizing your power usage16:48
LeniOOhello, just a quick question, native resolution for my monitor is 1680x1050@60, but I can't go higher than 1600x1200 through ATI Catalyst Control Center, my GPU is Radeon HD6770. Could it be because of the VGA connector I'm using? VGA is capped at 1600x1200?16:48
IzzoDizzoif you're using a laptop16:48
ddsscikonia, im using proftpd. is that somewhere in proftpd.conf?16:48
ikoniaddssc: there is a chroot funciton, yes16:48
IzzoDizzoelse i see now real benefits for it16:48
Gneaddssc: yes, proftpd supports it. read their manual, it explains it. proftpd.org iirc16:49
jackargIzzoDizzo ok so I need to do the nvidia-current and nvidia-settings install?16:49
noobie888anyone know how do i echo $1 with $1 being the text $1 instead of taking the variable for bash script?16:49
jackargthat's what got me into this mess in the first place16:49
IzzoDizzojackarg, did you install it from the software sources gui? or just apt-get16:49
jackargi did apt-get....16:50
Gneaddssc: yup, there it is: http://proftpd.org/docs/howto/Chroot.html16:50

jackargnoobie888: put quotes around it?16:50
KolakCCLeniOO: Video card brothers! *fist bump* - did you install the drivers from the amd website or from ubuntu?16:50
BluesKajit's not real difficult to find out if your system is an optimus graphics , just search google with your make and model laptop, jackarg16:50
jackargor a slash16:50
thirumalhai16:50
IzzoDizzojackarg, try from the software sources / additional drivers16:50
jackargBluesKaj or will do16:50

noobie888Thanks guys, it worked16:51
newrohello. I'm having an issue where I'm trying to run updates, but I can't because my boot partition is too small (it apparently has a max size of 256MB). When I boot from USB and try to resize it with GParted, it maxes out the size of that partition to 256MB because I believe it is the SSD on a hybrid harddrive. How do I move the boot partition to the main harddrive? and is there a way to use the 256MB Hybrid SSD for cache, etc?16:51
jackargBluesKaj IzzoDizzo says bumblebee is only for optimizing battery life. I want to use nvidia to also optimize graphics when playing a game16:51
LeniOOKolakCC: I had earlier integrated GPU ATI 3000, I have bought today HD6770 and didn't do anything with the drivers, since both are ATI16:52
jackargBluesKaj I know my make of nvidia it's geforce16:52
IzzoDizzojackarg, using bumblebee you can run both intel and nvidia "at the same time"16:52
newroDo I simple need to flag my main partition as boot?16:52
thirumaldont use nvidia it create problem while booting16:52
vorlketescott: dumb question, but if i wanna install software raid, i have to set my sata setting as raid rather than ahci?16:52
IzzoDizzojackarg you run graphics intensive stuff using optirun16:52
jackargIzzoDizzo so that dosen't improve the game image quality?16:52
jackargIzzoDizzo so that's what I need right?16:52
IzzoDizzojackarg, you can just try to install it, if it doesnt work you can always remove it :)16:53
vorlketescott: i don't understand the logic behind it, but the efi issue goes away after i change the setting from ahci to raid16:53

WilsonBhowdy16:56
ikoniaert3go: basically - common sense16:57
ikoniaert3go: look around, look for running processes, look at time stamps on core binaries files, check cron etc etc16:57
ert3goikonia, not an expert user here.16:58
kriskropdert3go: compromise awareness is relative to familiarity of the system - a program can only be updated to so much familiarity; what you can do easily is just practice not opening holes where you don't need them16:58
kriskropdert3go: 'netstat -tulpn' shows connections your system is maintaining and 'ps aux' can be grepped to find if processes are running16:59
kriskropdert3go: the rabbit hole is pretty deep, but that's where I would start17:00
llutzif you think your system was compromised, you cannot trust any of the installed systemtools, as they might be compromised too.17:00
jonyfinally I've reinstalled Ubuntu and now my USB sticks are working again17:00
ikoniaert3go: appreciate that, but if you are in any doubt, you should re-install17:00
ikoniaert3go: I know that's negative, but it's the best way17:00

woolite64I'm using a Belkin SOHO KVM switch with a few boxes that PXE-boot Ubuntu 10.04 through 12.04. The KVM has an onboard USB hub that connects to the keyboard/mouse to each computer. Whenever this is plugged in, I hang on boot. I run into the same issues on a Ubuntu 12.10 USB loader. The obvious workaround is to unplug the USB cable while it's booting up. Are there any other workarounds for this? Should I17:41

drleviathanpratz, you can list all installed packages via: dpkg -l17:44
drleviathanyou could then go through the list manually looking for likely stuff to remove17:44
drleviathanthen use: sudo apt-get remove package-name17:44
pratzdrleviathan: will be a long process , but useful17:45
drleviathanpratz, that will just clear up space on your hard drive, not make the system much faster17:45
drleviathanunless you installed a bunch of services that launch at startup -- removing unecessary daemons can speed up the boot I suppose17:46
pratzdrleviathan: any tips to make system faster ?17:46
drleviathanpratz, faster at what?  faster desktop?  faster boot?  faster web browsing?  or... ?17:47
pratzdrleviathan: faster desktop17:47
wadFrom the command line, how do you tell what the MTU is?17:48
drleviathanpratz, first thing would be to max out your RAM17:48
bekkswad: Just take a look at "ifconfig"17:48
* wad looks17:48
pratzdrleviathan: boot is not a problem, I can wait till booting process, but even when i dray windows of open a program takes a long time17:48
llutzwad: ifconfig, ip a s17:48
wadAh, I see it. Thanks.17:48
pratzdrleviathan: 4GB is not sufficient ?17:48
wadMissed it last time. -_-17:48
drleviathannext would be to get a faster hard drive.  SSD will help, but you want to make sure your motherboard would actually support the faster SATA speeds17:49
drleviathanpratz, 4G should be plenty.  What exactly is slow?  apps slow to launch?  menus slow?17:49
drleviathanor games are slow?17:49
pratzdrleviathan: dude my system was fast a few months back when it was a fresh install, but i think because of lots of programs installed it has become slow17:50

pratzdrleviathan: apps slow to launch and when you drag windows etc..17:50
drleviathanpratz, try "ps aux" at the command line to see all processes17:50
drleviathanlook for processes up near the top that are eating lots of CPU or memory17:50
drleviathaner... whoops17:50
drleviathanI mean use the "top" command17:51
drleviathanperhaps ubuntu has a graphical "top" equivalent for browsing for hot processes... dunno17:51

pratzdrleviathan: hmm, i will try to remove unused packages first17:58
sarger001but i'll have to open a private window with you17:58
drleviathanpratz, did you perhaps enable fancy desktop graphical effects?  try disabling all eye candy in the desktop environment17:58
drleviathanif your graphics card can't do much hardware acceleration it can slow down your desktop17:58
jstarcherHi, I created an updated PHP5 package for my Lucid system since the one in the repos is very old. Do I need to uninstall my existing package or can I upgrade the package to my deb?17:59
pratzdrleviathan: personally i do not like fancy stuff, so graphical effect are already disabled17:59
melodiehi17:59
drleviathanok pratz, I'm out of ideas.  Perhaps time to reinstall?  reinstallation is pretty fast.17:59
drleviathanjust be sure to backup anything important17:59
JamiePagnibha: so sqlplus is the $ mysql equivalent for oracle?17:59
agnibhapretty much ya18:00
pratzdrleviathan: ya, even I think so18:00
insomniac_lemonLast night Histo told me about piping output in terminal into a file. I t works on everything, except for certian applications (vlc, kazam) which it replaces the text with "extracting templates" or something, and add repos shows text with gpg and keyrings. Any way to fix this?18:00
SwapI have installed ubuntu in F:/ drive, F is seperate hard disk drive actually. I want to access files of the F:/ drive which were I made on windows, cant I access those on ubuntu ? I cant see that particular drive here on ubuntu18:00
insomniac_lemonTo add, I'm using 1>/dev/null at the very end of commands18:01
melodieSwap is that with wubi ?18:01
Swapyes18:01
insomniac_lemonSwap, I noticed that, too, that windows files did not seem to be accessable with Wubi-Ubuntu18:02
melodieSwap this is perhaps not a very usual way of using ubuntu linux. have you looked if you can create a shared directory for both ?18:02
Swaphave any solution ? is is only because of wubi ? how if I burn image in dvd and then install again ?18:03
insomniac_lemonMelodie, flash drive? :P18:03
melodieinsomniac_lemon what do you mean ?18:03
melodieSwap try to look if you can create a shared directory between the two OS18:03
insomniac_lemonmelodie, using a flash drive to share files between 2 operating systems.18:03
trisminsomniac_lemon: are you trying to discard all the output? 1>/dev/null will only do stdout, so you'll still see stderr, something like &>/dev/null should kill everything18:04
melodieinsomniac_lemon I was thinking of something a bit more direct, as the shared directory between two machines18:04
SwapI am not a geek. What should I do ?18:04
Selfarianhm... when i try to boot the mini image i got the error: Could not find kernel image: vesamenu.c3218:04
Swapcan you please explain more18:04
insomniac_lemonTrism, is Extracting templates and repo keys part of stderr?18:05
melodieSwap you should seek for some docs related to wubi at the ubuntu ask place or at the wiki18:05
melodiedoes the ! commands work here ?18:05
melodie!wiki wubi18:05
melodiedoes not seem18:05
sarger001Wubi isn't even ubuntu, bro.18:05
sarger001Not in my eyes18:05
sarger001it's just a virtualbox running ubuntu18:05
melodiesarger001 it is provided in Ubuntu official distro18:06
melodieeven not being a real os it should act as much as possible as one18:06
sarger001Meh18:06
trisminsomniac_lemon: might be, it is up to the app where it writes (though usually stderr is reserved for errors and debugging information by convention)18:06
melodiemeh quoi ?18:06
melodie:D18:06
sarger001anyway, can't find skype in software center18:06

insomniac_lemontrism, is there a way I can renew it during one of the times I used sudo? I though I had done that once, but I don't remember what flag or if it will actually work19:38
trisminsomniac_lemon: not that I know of19:39
insomniac_lemontrism, one last thing (probably) is there a command I can use to keep the terminal open indefinitely after completing a script? being a usable shell is not necessary, just not closing19:41
maxkollideinsomniac_lemon: I'm pretty sure the only flags that are like that are -k for killing the sudo session (making it read the password again) and -s, which will make sudo try to read the password from stdin19:41

bambamsimple question. what is command to install something from folder you just downloaded21:29
SonikkuAmericabambam: Was it an archive of some sort? Things barely come in flat folders these days21:29
R00tByte rozynha:**********************************21:29
bambamarchive i unrar21:30
rozynhaOieee21:30
aJacomif i install lubuntu instead of ubuntu will i be able to run all the applications or will i have a reduced number of options?21:30
bambamSonikkuAmerica: yes, archive. and not it is extract to folder21:30
ntzrmtthihu777pa: interesting idea21:31
SonikkuAmericabambam: Unless it's a .deb package, you need to extract it,  cd  to the folder and then executable whatever's executable21:31
ntzrmtthihu777I wish there was more customizaton to user-dirs.dirs in .config21:31
SonikkuAmericabambam: *execute whatever's executable21:31
ntzrmtthihu777aJacom: lubuntu comes with its own sorts of applications different than ubuntu, but you should be able to do all the same/similar things21:32
bambamSonikkuAmerica:  and put it where ?21:32
pai think tagging pdf is probably even more important than tagging pictures21:32
pasince pictures can be easily thumbnailed21:33
ntzrmtthihu777aJacom: I was testing lubuntu via usb a while back, its comparable to normal ubuntu21:33
paand visualized in groups21:33
SonikkuAmericabambam: Anywhere, but the best place is where the archive wound up so you know where it is.21:33
aJacomntzrmtthihu777, gohst, my question comes because i know there are some applications built for gnome, and lubuntu uses lxde21:33
ntzrmtthihu777pa: you can thumbnail pdf's too21:33
pawell yes, but still you dont really know what's in there most of the times21:34
SonikkuAmericaaJacom: At the very least, you shouldn't have any problems with GTK+ apps21:34
SonikkuAmericaaJacom: because LXDE is GTK+ based21:34
leshasteI want to set up a dlna server... I just installed mediatomb but I can't see even how to say which directory has the mp3s. How do you do that?21:35

ntzrmtthihu777cat_: how big is the iso?21:53
SonikkuAmericantzrmtthihu777: Then there should be a line in preprocessor that says [ #include "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-25-generic/include/usb.h" ] IIRC21:53
spasonBean, yous till here?21:53
SonikkuAmericantzrmtthihu777: Or wherever it happens to be21:54
ntzrmtthihu777SonikkuAmerica: well that is irritating. other projects, I ust gotta do #include <foo.h>21:54
cat_Ah, it seems that this cd is too small. Is there a minimal size version of ubuntu that could be used as a live cd ?21:54
ntzrmtthihu777cat_: alternate install21:55
cat_ntzrmtthihu777: It seems that the iso is too large21:55
spasonI just put 10.04 on a ppc powerbook g4, and it worked.  When i updated the driver for the wireless card, after i rebooted, the screen is blank.  but it made the drumming sound etc, and i think loaded correctly.  I just can't see it.  Anyone know what i can do?21:55
SonikkuAmericantzrmtthihu777: If it's <foo.h> that's typically because it's in the standard C function set.21:55

cat_ntzrmtthihu777: Actually, could you point me towards this install?21:56
ntzrmtthihu777patently wasteful21:56
SonikkuAmericantzrmtthihu777: And it needs quotes in order to work, given it's not a stock C library. (Once again, IIRC; I haven't taken C/C++ in 3 months)21:56

Fuzzles_i upgraded to kde 4.10 but when i add a widget the menu is really white?22:01
spasonDidn't work.  Any other thoughts?  It says ubuntu when it first starts to load, but not in the nice pretty way it's sposed to, and then it is blank screen.22:01
ntzrmtthihu777cat_: oh wow, quantal does not include an alternate. I must say, in warning, that my experience with quantal was horrible. may as well stick with precise as it has 5-year support22:01
SonikkuAmericaFuzzles_: What do you mean? (This is actually a good question for #kubuntu by the way)22:01
spasonbut if i press certain keys it makes a rejection noise, like it is loaded up.22:01
cat_ntzrmtthihu777: The distro isn't really important - just need a live cd to help a friend get some files off an old pc!22:02
spasoncan i change the video somehow from a live cd and have it be that way when the hard drive boots?22:02

Fuzzles_SonikkuAmerica: its ok its just with the air theme might be a bug22:06
AreoneI'm using calc at the moment, but I'd also like to be able to do it writer as well.22:07
SonikkuAmericaFuzzles_: Probably... check in the #kubuntu channel.22:07
Fuzzles_SonikkuAmerica: ok thanks22:07
AreoneIt's not really for the mathematical aspect of the fraction as much as it is the look of it.  Initially I created the file on a Windows machine just using escape codes for the ascii equivalent of the fraction, but using ALT 0189 etc doesn't work the same22:09

Gabb0Hi.  12.04 Server.  I have a PC that has a USB external HDD connected.. it is mounted in fstab.  How can I force a fsck on the external HDD on reboot?  I can fsck all drives if that's easier...thanks.23:01
Taevsorry jordan_u23:01
Gabb012.04... for support reasons.23:01
ntzrmtthihu777memand: 12.04, because 12.10 screwed me royaly23:02
Jordan_Umemand: Are they the type of person that likes to upgrade often, or rarely?23:02
Taevbtw i just want to say never try updating your OS via the Adept thing, it completely hosed my system23:02
DeltaHeavymemand: 12.04, if he doesn't know how to upgrade himself, and you're not going to deal with it for him, he won't have to.23:02
Taevi tried recovery, and it just stalls23:02
Taevim just reinstalling now23:02
JofironsesGabb0: You can probably do it by specifying the UUID23:02

JofironsesHello, does any one know a program I could use to check samba/windows drives in my local network?23:03
ntzrmtthihu777memand: always did the trick for me23:03
DeltaHeavyntzrmtthihu777, however I think I just managed to get UNetBootIn to recognize my NTFS partition. Did it with fdisk/mkfs instead of gparted and it worked for some reason =S23:03
DeltaHeavyNot sure if I did something else in gparted that messed it up.23:03
ntzrmtthihu777DeltaHeavy: sometimes gui apps just dont do the trick23:04
Jordan_UGabb0: What filesystem is it and why can't you just unmount it and run fsck normally?23:04
Gabb0Jofironses, : thanks23:04
memandntzrmtthihu777: 64-bit?23:04
DeltaHeavyntzrmtthihu777, Yeah, seems odd but oh well. Hopefully this will all work now and I get myself in my usual setup. Hate this kind of downtime.23:04
Gabb0jordan_, i am not that adept with the mount command.23:04

ntzrmtthihu777ddssc: I think you would have to chmod everything else23:07
ddsscbasically I want the user to be able to traverse only his home dir , cd .. shouldn't land him in /home/23:08
DeltaHeavyddssc: chroot23:08
ddsscntzrmtthihu777, please elaborate. chmod is a complex thing..23:08
ntzrmtthihu777ddssc: not really. chmod +x adds executable status, -x removes it. w write, r read23:09
DeltaHeavyddssc: chroot does EXACTLY what you're asking for.23:09
ddsscis there a way in unix in general to say this: user A has rwx rights for the following dirs: X,Y,Z ?23:09
ntzrmtthihu777DeltaHeavy: no, that would not do what he wants23:09
Jordan_UDeltaHeavy: No, it doesn't.23:10
nellDoes anyone here use the g400 mouse with linux?23:10
ntzrmtthihu777yes, chmod +rxw the-dir as that user, sudo if needed23:10
ddsscso I'm basically looking to whitelist dir access, as opposed to blacklisting it, which I understand is unix default behavior23:10
DeltaHeavyJordan_U, ntzrmtthihu777: http://www.serverschool.com/dedicated-servers/what-is-a-chroot-jail/23:10
puttersonHello, I am looking for a resource on how to configure the cmake files for my project so I will be able to run make install and have the software installed on my ubuntu system23:10
Jordan_Uddssc: Chmod is not the right tool for this job. There are many tools that can get you this, none of them (that I know of) particularly easy to setup properly. Among the options are emulating Ubuntu's "guest session" (which uses Apparmor to sandbox the user), and using a chroot jail.23:10
ntzrmtthihu777DeltaHeavy: chrooting into his home dir would deny him *any* programs23:11
Jordan_UDeltaHeavy: Sorry, I read your first comment as "chmod does exactly what you're looking for".23:11
ddssccmon this can't be THAT hard srsly guys... all I want is when I grand user SSH access to my system, is not to be able to nose around other people's dirs, and other system dirs23:11
puttersonI have only found resources showing how to package software that already "make install"s correctly23:11
ntzrmtthihu777all programs are, in general, stored in /bin and /usr/bin, so he wouuld be in fact unable to access other dirs, but it would be a useless session23:12
marcs1989I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on a Toshiba Satellite c655 and I can't get sound to work. I'm not muted on either youtube or my actual sound bar, and it doesn't work with \a commands either. Sound will not play through either my head phones or my computer speakers. This has been happening occasionally, and if I restart the PC the issue goes away, but it's getting a little annoying having to do that all the time.23:12
ntzrmtthihu777a certain setup needs xorg >= 1.5, X -version gives me xserver 1.11.3, is this what I need23:14
marcs1989If this helps, after searching the web I found something that suggested I do 'killall pulseaudio' but that hasn't helped. I don't hear the startup drum beat either.23:16
