| belgianguy | my my, there's plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth because of Mir | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| belgianguy | why's everyone so upset? | 00:02 |
| colemorales | sooo im trying to make my mac into a ubuntu computer but when i try to boot from the usb stick i made after i click intall ubuntu it just stays at a blank screen | 00:02 |
| colemorales | its very frustrating | 00:03 |
| colemorales | has anyone else had this problem | 00:03 |
| MoPac | belgianguy: I haven't studied Mir in a lot of depth: I'm just hoping that it doesn't end up pushing me into a tiled-or-fullscreen setup on my desktop the way it is on my phone or on Windows 8. I'm a diehard multiwindow multitasker | 00:03 |
| belgianguy | MoPac: as am I, but the little preview I saw was a tablet interface and something running Unity inside of mir | 00:04 |
| __dan__ | belgianguy: probably because canonical have a reputation of being slightly arrogant (unity, anyone?) and seem to like going off doing their own thing rather than play with others | 00:05 |
| __dan__ | see also: upstart | 00:06 |
| __dan__ | hehe | 00:06 |
| MoPac | belgianguy: Right, but what I'm wondering is: is Canonical going to make it either resource- or configuration-intensive or app-breaking for me to run a standard old-school desktop at some point? | 00:07 |
| fertaku__ | Hola | 00:07 |
| MoPac | belgianguy: case in point: ideally, I would want to run Cinnamon rather than Unity. But because I have to layer it on top of all the other Ubuntu stuff that is meant to hook into Unity, it's actually such a nightmare in terms of both config and resource use that I have just ended up using Unity instead. | 00:07 |
| MoPac | I'm apprehensive that I might end up pushed through the same experience in a more dramatic way of Ubuntu goes the way of Windows 8 and ends up super determined to make my 16.4-inch screen experience the same as my 4-inch screen experience | 00:07 |
| MoPac | *if Ubuntu | 00:07 |
| DAL|Desktop | I'm running 10.04 LTS, will I break anything horribly if I uninstall the synaptic libc6 and manually install version 2.15+? | 00:08 |
| kostkon | !ot | belgianguy, MoPac, __dan__ | 00:08 |
| ubottu | belgianguy, MoPac, __dan__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:08 |
| __dan__ | thank the lord for KDE, eh? ;) | 00:08 |
| bekks | DAL|Desktop: Yes. | 00:08 |
| DAL|Desktop | bekks, I'll need to update to the lastest LTS to install Steam then? | 00:09 |
| bekks | DAL|Desktop: Yes. | 00:09 |
| DAL|Desktop | Thanks. | 00:09 |
| kostkon | DAL|Desktop, yes, you need at least 12.04 in order to run steam | 00:10 |
| zimzum77 | ubuntu plays windows game well?? | 00:10 |
| kostkon | !wine | zimzum77 | 00:11 |
| ubottu | zimzum77: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 00:11 |
| __dan__ | zimzum77: I was just playing fallout 2 on my kubuntu machine earlier :) | 00:11 |
| zimzum77 | NICE, i'm waitn for simcity, which i think is tomorrow | 00:12 |
| kostkon | zimzum77, the new sim city will have a linux version yes | 00:12 |
| __dan__ | in the meantime, there are a couple of open source simcity variants you might like to try :) | 00:12 |
| MoPac | Is there any GUI for devilspie2? The set_viewport function on devilspie seems to be totally broken, and I've run out of ideas after doing window rules in Compiz turned out to be hellish | 00:12 |
| zimzum77 | really?? i'll have to go look | 00:13 |
| zimzum77 | and them are open source too? | 00:13 |
| === Guest48399 is now known as sweettea | ||
| __dan__ | yeah i think it's called lincity | 00:13 |
| __dan__ | originally enough :) | 00:13 |
| __dan__ | not sure whether the monster is a 40-foot penguin though | 00:13 |
| prafulrana | Hey guys how do I set a global ulimit for no of file descriptors ? | 00:13 |
| zimzum77 | hhaha WUT?? | 00:13 |
| __dan__ | haha just saying, if i coded it, the monster would definitely be a 40-foot penguin | 00:14 |
| zimzum77 | LOL nice | 00:14 |
| __dan__ | and it would only stomp on windows users | 00:14 |
| zimzum77 | : ) | 00:14 |
| __dan__ | haha | 00:14 |
| kostkon | __dan__, we are talking about this :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SimCity_%282013_video_game%29 | 00:14 |
| zimzum77 | YES!! | 00:14 |
| zimzum77 | kostkon, YUP :) that is it | 00:15 |
| __dan__ | yeah i meant this http://freecode.com/projects/lincity-ng | 00:15 |
| zimzum77 | that looks cool i'll give it a try | 00:17 |

| nobotty | nostalgia :) | 00:21 |
| xFertaku | Indeed. | 00:21 |
| __dan__ | having quite a retro moment in here tonight :) | 00:21 |
| caravel | hello everyone \o/ | 00:22 |
| __dan__ | lets all manually set our IRQs with jumpers | 00:22 |
| __dan__ | eheh | 00:22 |
| xFertaku | Hello! :D | 00:22 |
| __dan__ | hi caravel | 00:22 |
| caravel | Are there known issues with latest updates of libssl/openssl/whatever is using Evolution to validate server certs on... 10.04 ? :) | 00:22 |
| caravel | I get these in loops immediately after applying updates http://simplest-image-hosting.net/png-0-yh1962 | 00:23 |
| Bray90820 | so i just installed another linux disto alongside ubuntu 12.04 how would i update grub so i can boot the other one | 00:23 |
| p0s | __dan__: i found a package which does the job of tuning the powertop tunables automatically at booting. laptop-mode-tools it is. | 00:23 |
| p0s | __dan__: requires no configuration at all | 00:23 |
| caravel | [...] (both providers, Free.fr and Gmail.com) | 00:23 |
| __dan__ | awesome p0s :) thanks for taking the time to let me know :) | 00:23 |
| p0s | __dan__: you helped me as well :) | 00:24 |
| __dan__ | cool just having a look at it now :) | 00:25 |
| __dan__ | caravel: i wonder if your trusted root certificates are out of date or something | 00:25 |
| __dan__ | caravel: the error message doesnt really tell you much :/ | 00:25 |
| Bray90820 | anyone know how i would update grub to see my other linux partitions | 00:25 |
| caravel | __dan__: well, it says the signature isn't valid | 00:26 |
| caravel | __dan__: and I'd doubt my old mother suddenly got the victim of a MITM attack right at the time I updated the stuff :) | 00:26 |
| __dan__ | hahaha | 00:27 |
| caravel | from the dpkg log: | 00:27 |
| caravel | 2013-03-05 23:25:29 upgrade openssl 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.13 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.14 | 00:27 |
| caravel | 2013-03-05 23:23:50 upgrade libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.13 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.14 | 00:27 |
| caravel | (and no particular errors) | 00:27 |
| caravel | evolution itself wasn't upgraded | 00:28 |
| zimzum77 | retro, i see in game some OLD SCHOOL SNES!! | 00:28 |
| TheLordOfTime | Bray90820, ideally, `sudo update-grub`, but that assumes there's OSes on the other partitions. | 00:28 |
| John12 | um is there any mods here? | 00:29 |
| Bray90820 | TheLordOfTime there is | 00:29 |
| John12 | or some one that really want to help some one.. | 00:29 |
| Bray90820 | i installed android | 00:29 |
| __dan__ | caravel: my guess is, there will be another update in a few days, and that error message will disappear ;) | 00:29 |
| Bray90820 | i already tried sudo update-grub and grub doesn't even popup when i restart | 00:30 |
| caravel | __dan__: huh, that's first time I see such thing on a LTS | 00:30 |
| * caravel was lucky maybe ? :) | 00:30 | |
| __dan__ | haha thats one way of looking at it :) | 00:30 |
| caravel | __dan__: and... is 10.04 still getting sec updates? | 00:30 |
| __dan__ | caravel: i'm not sure to be honest, maybe not on the desktop anymore | 00:30 |
| caravel | thought it was EOL by now, and that I had applied the last bunch | 00:31 |
| Bray90820 | TheLordOfTime what i'm thinking is Android removed grub | 00:31 |
| caravel | ok thanks __dan__ | 00:31 |
| === tensorpuddin is now known as tensorpudding | ||
| caravel | maybe, many users will panic in turn soon :) | 00:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | Bray90820, Wait, are you on a tablet or something? | 00:32 |
| __dan__ | caravel: yeah haha, maybe an upgrade to 12.04 is in order :) | 00:32 |
| caravel | sure that's planed __dan__, I only miss a plane ticket :) | 00:32 |
| __dan__ | ahhhh haha i understand :) | 00:32 |
| * caravel won't risk it over ssh, not brave enough (or too much experience hahahaha) | 00:32 | |
| Bray90820 | i am on a touchscreen netbook | 00:33 |
| guideX | how do I always open something as root, say gedit | 00:33 |
| __dan__ | yeah I would hesitate ... although my experience of version upgrades on kubuntu has been very good | 00:33 |
| guideX | in windows for instance there's a run as administrator option | 00:33 |
| __dan__ | guideX: i think it's gksu under gnome / unity | 00:33 |
| guideX | oh i'm using xfce | 00:33 |
| guideX | sorry | 00:34 |
| __dan__ | try gksu anyway | 00:34 |
| guideX | ok | 00:34 |
| __dan__ | i'm more familiar with kde :) | 00:34 |
| caravel | __dan__: my alternative strategy is to train my sister a little more on shell :) screen -S is good but I still feel she's got a little more way to go :) | 00:34 |
| guideX | hmm it only works on the first load | 00:35 |
| Bray90820 | TheLordOfTime do you know why grub won't even show up after teh android install | 00:35 |
| guideX | so when I close it, and reopen it is running under my context again | 00:35 |
| guideX | or is there a way to set the whole directory i'm in for me to be able to write to it? | 00:35 |
| caravel | guideX: you might want to avoid this generally | 00:36 |
| __dan__ | caravel: sounds like your sister is already more useful than some windows admins hahah | 00:36 |
| caravel | I mean, opening any X stuff as root | 00:36 |
| guideX | well how else can I edit a file without dropping to the terminal? | 00:36 |
| __dan__ | gksu gedit /etc/yourfile.txt | 00:36 |
| caravel | __dan__: yeah, I got her to self install her 12-04 on full luks :D | 00:37 |
| guideX | well yeah but, that only works the first time, I must open the terminal every time to do it | 00:37 |
| TheLordOfTime | Bray90820, no, because I've never installed android alongside Ubuntu. you may want to wait for someone more knowledgeable. | 00:37 |
| __dan__ | so run gksu gedit | 00:37 |
| __dan__ | then open the files you want from within gedit and keep it running | 00:37 |
| caravel | guideX: worst case, you could stick some extension for your gnome-shell or whatever DE you use | 00:37 |
| Bray90820 | i could just wipe grub from my /boot partition and reinstall it | 00:37 |
| __dan__ | isn't there an option in xubuntu to run a root file explorer? | 00:38 |
| caravel | i.e. right click > open as root | 00:38 |
| __dan__ | or whatever its called? | 00:38 |
| guideX | hmm that's an idea.. | 00:38 |
| __dan__ | pcfm innit? | 00:38 |
| guideX | it's weird how i can't edit the file, yet it's in my home directory | 00:38 |
| guideX | is this a glitch of some kind or | 00:38 |
| __dan__ | permissions probably set to root for that file individually | 00:38 |
| __dan__ | chown is your friend | 00:38 |
| === ident is now known as Guest67298 | ||
| __dan__ | and ls -l | 00:38 |
| penth | ls -l and check permissions. | 00:39 |
| caravel | guideX: and I remember also a panel applet for this (you could drag stuff, it would pass it to gksu/whatever needed) | 00:39 |
| guideX | oh cool | 00:39 |
| guideX | i'll check that out too | 00:39 |
| mguy | Is there a good CPU/RAM monitor that I can put in my menubar or whatever it is with the clock etc | 00:39 |
| guideX | oh you're right, the whole folder is root | 00:39 |
| caravel | guideX: but please avoid the "always open as root" track, for your own good | 00:39 |
| guideX | because root created | 00:39 |
| guideX | ah there's no security needed here, it's a dev server :D | 00:40 |
| penth | mguy, I don't know about the notification bar, but conky is great for that sort of thing | 00:40 |
| guideX | so if the permissions are set to root, how do I change to me? | 00:40 |
| guideX | because it's in my home folder.. so I meant for it to be me | 00:40 |
| WeThePeople | is it possible to route audio to the rj11 output? | 00:41 |
| WeThePeople | on ubuntu | 00:41 |
| guideX | if I right click and choose properties, I can't edit the permissions on the permissions tab, it's grayed out | 00:41 |
| Bray90820 | TheLordOfTime i could uninstall and reinstall grub | 00:41 |
| __dan__ | did you try running your file manager as root? | 00:41 |
| guideX | hmm I don't know how to run the file manager from the terminal... | 00:42 |
| guideX | I know how to sudo su and such.. | 00:42 |
| guideX | but I don't know the command for file manager | 00:42 |
| John12 | can some one tell me how in the world i can install the ubuntu on my phone | 00:43 |
| guideX | do you know what it is? | 00:43 |
| __dan__ | nor do i on xfce | 00:43 |
| guideX | ah ok | 00:43 |
| John12 | do i hack the phone | 00:43 |
| John12 | do i buy a other phone or what? | 00:43 |
| __dan__ | guideX: thunar? | 00:43 |
| John12 | i keep geting errors | 00:43 |
| __dan__ | John12: you might want to stop by xda-developers | 00:44 |
| guideX | ah ok | 00:44 |
| guideX | cool | 00:44 |
| John12 | same thing | 00:44 |
| John12 | i get status 7 error | 00:44 |
| John12 | assert failed getprop | 00:44 |
| * __dan__ gets a whiff of a small green man | 00:45 | |
| zimzum77 | mguy, i think maybe this?? http://conky.sourceforge.net/ | 00:45 |
| mguy | penth: indicator-multiload is what I went with | 00:45 |
| John12 | you think the ubuntu not out yet for the android? | 00:46 |
| __dan__ | some android phones / tablets will allow a ubuntu chroot | 00:46 |
| __dan__ | ie. running ubuntu from within android | 00:46 |
| __dan__ | i had it working on my hp touchpad a while back | 00:47 |
| John12 | i have nexus s 4g | 00:47 |
| John12 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install#Step_3_-_Initial_Device_Setup | 00:47 |
| __dan__ | but it was hard work | 00:47 |
| John12 | i done that, but again, it saids that error when i upload it to my sdcard | 00:47 |
| __dan__ | i dunno man | 00:47 |
| guideX | is there another way to do it? changing the permissions in a root thunar session isn't working | 00:48 |
| __dan__ | and on that note i think i will bid you guys farewell | 00:48 |
| __dan__ | good night all :) | 00:48 |
| zimzum77 | mguy, sry this is what you want http://www.noobslab.com/2012/07/conky-collection-for-ubuntulinux.html | 00:48 |
| guideX | cya dan.. | 00:48 |
| zimzum77 | peace | 00:48 |
| guideX | does anyone know a way to change folder/file permissions? | 00:48 |
| guideX | i'm having a hellofatime | 00:48 |
| mguy | guideX: chmod | 00:48 |
| guideX | hmm ok | 00:49 |
| Jeruvy | guideX chown | 00:49 |
| guideX | hmm crap, I don't know how to use it.. how do you get help from these? | 00:49 |
| mguy | guideX: type 'man chown' at the terminal | 00:50 |
| mguy | Better yet google 'filesystem permissions linux' | 00:50 |
| John12 | btw | 00:50 |
| guideX | ah ok cool | 00:50 |
| John12 | is this room a scam? #ubuntu-touch | 00:50 |
| John12 | i'm trying to report it, but i can't | 00:50 |
| kostkon | John12, ?? | 00:50 |
| John12 | i can't report the room for bots | 00:51 |
| alainus | i want to try kde but not sure whether to do a clean install of kubuntu. is it safe to just do sudo apt-get install kde-full ? | 00:51 |
| kostkon | John12, it's the official channel for ubuntu touch | 00:51 |
| John12 | it's like then join and leave and joinh and leave | 00:51 |
| guideX | hmm it says "Invalid User" | 00:51 |
| guideX | when I try chown /u guiideX | 00:51 |
| guideX | err guideX | 00:51 |
| guideX | know what i'm doing wrong? | 00:52 |
| mguy | You would use 'chown guideX somefile' | 00:52 |
| guideX | ah ok | 00:52 |
| mguy | But that's changing the owner not the permissions. | 00:53 |
| guideX | hmm maybe it'd be easier to delete everything and download again.. | 00:53 |
| mguy | What are you trying to do? | 00:53 |
| guideX | well I can't change any files or folders in my home directory | 00:53 |
| guideX | unless I sudo in the terminal | 00:53 |
| mguy | Go to the /home directory (not /home/guidex) and type in ls -l, what's the line look like with your home folder on it | 00:54 |
| guideX | so I keep shelling to terminal, then running geany, then closing it, repeat, it's taking forever | 00:54 |
| guideX | hm ok | 00:54 |
| === nathwill_ is now known as nathwill | ||
| guideX | hmm it says drwxr-xr-x 28 | 00:55 |
| mguy | What's the whole line? | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | the full output.. will tell owership then group | 00:56 |
| berto- | anyone familiar with setting up networking for lxc that works in a virtualbox vm? | 00:56 |
| nathwill | hi all, i'm stuck with adding a statusnet account to gwibber. the old accounts screen has been replaced by the online accounts section, which doesn't reference statusnet at all | 00:56 |
| guideX | hmm it's drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 mar 6 00:34 | 00:56 |
| mguy | guideX: Paste the output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 00:56 |
| guideX | for most of the stuff | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | guideX: and whats your users name? | 00:56 |
| mguy | guideX: That file is owned by root - you probably wnt to change that | 00:56 |
| guideX | guideX | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | arent user names all lower case? | 00:56 |
| ner0x | Can anyone suggest a financial manager that can connect to your bank account and also allow you to attach scans/invoices to certain purchases? | 00:57 |
| guideX | hmm dunno... | 00:57 |
| mguy | chown -R guidex:guidex guidex | 00:57 |
| guideX | hmm ok cool let me try that | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | !permissiona | guideX | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | !permissions | guideX | 00:57 |
| ubottu | guideX: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:57 |
| mguy | sudo chown that is... | 00:57 |
| guideX | oo i think it worked | 00:58 |
| guideX | yep it worked, thanks :) | 00:58 |
| dr_willis | you need to set the owner of your users files to be owned by tghe user and group 'guidex' | 00:58 |
| mguy | What did you do to screw it up? | 00:58 |
| guideX | well nothing seems to work unless I sudo su first, so that's my usual workaround | 00:58 |
| dr_willis | no idea why things would get owned by root. unless you moved things from a usb, or other ways as root | 00:58 |
| guideX | for instance, I can't do anythign with svn unless I sudo su | 00:59 |
| dr_willis | guideX: do NOT use sudo su. use the normal sudo -s or sudo -i | 00:59 |
| guideX | ah ok | 00:59 |
| guideX | I was unaware | 00:59 |
| dr_willis | and you really shouldent need to be root to use svn UNLESS your permerssions and ownership of files are wrong to begin with | 00:59 |
| guideX | well most of my files are coming from svn | 01:00 |
| guideX | so I'm not sure how it's bringing them down.. | 01:00 |
| guideX | I thinmk the files were in windows before that | 01:00 |
| MysticalBurrito[ | Back, my mom nagged me about my homework for a while >_> | 01:00 |
| dr_willis | i would suggest reading up on that permissions wiki page to learn about them. I dont use svn so no idea on any good guides on it. | 01:00 |
| dr_willis | !svn | 01:00 |
| ubottu | svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ | 01:00 |
| guideX | it's a way to download and upload source code, go back to older versions, etc | 01:01 |
| guideX | I wouldn't use it if i had a choice heh.. | 01:01 |
| dr_willis | and it dosent make much sence that it needs to be ran as root. | 01:01 |
| guideX | the windowed version doesn't have to, but for xfce there isn't a windowed version of it, just the terminal.. anyhow, the command works fine, so i can just alter the permissions after svning moving forward | 01:02 |
| guideX | kinda silly, that's ok | 01:02 |
| guideX | I will read up on that page though | 01:02 |
| dr_willis | sounds more likle theres somthing fundamentally wrong about how you are doing things.. | 01:02 |
| dr_willis | just because its a cli interface dosent mean it runs as root. | 01:03 |
| guideX | probably true | 01:03 |
| dr_willis | and there may be gui front ends out for it. | 01:03 |
| guideX | oh of course | 01:03 |
| guideX | not for xfce :( | 01:03 |
| guideX | I wish | 01:03 |
| guideX | there's on for unity and gnome | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | err.. you can run gnome and kde apps in xfce | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | and visa versa | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | makes no differance | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | xfce is like 60% gnome to begin with | 01:04 |
| guideX | ill have to figure that out, currently, it only works in gnome + unity | 01:04 |
| guideX | in xfce it doesn't sjhow up in the menus at all | 01:04 |
| dr_willis | install the app.. it pulls in needed items.. run it from terminal if you cant find the icon | 01:04 |
| dasound08 | Hello and good evening.. | 01:05 |
| guideX | oh right, but it's a shell integration usuyally | 01:05 |
| guideX | it shows up automatically in the menus for me, | 01:05 |
| guideX | if it's not there, it's just not heh | 01:05 |
| dr_willis | you mean in the file manager? you can run nautilus in xfce if you wanted to | 01:05 |
| dasound08 | is anyone having issues with flash player in 12.04lts | 01:05 |
| guideX | oh cool maybe that's why | 01:05 |
| dasound08 | It is not allowing me to play sound in browser | 01:06 |
| mguy | dasound08: Are you using the one in Chrome or the plugin | 01:06 |
| dasound08 | I have used both.. neither are working.. | 01:07 |
| mguy | Do you have ANY sound in your system? | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | ive noticed flash seems to have its own volume controlls for me - differnt then the normal system/gnome volumes.. i can mute the system sounds, vlc and so forth.. and flash still makes noise.. sometimes it gets reversed.. flash is muted.. but others play. ;) i recall twiddling with the volume slider in the flash videos.. that may not be the same issue as you are having. | 01:09 |
| guideX | also is there a way to fix the scrollwheel in ubuntu 12.10? | 01:11 |
| guideX | it seems like it's not working anywhere.. | 01:11 |
| Maverick|420 | server montreal.qc.ca.undernet.org | 01:12 |
| guideX | nope freenode :D | 01:13 |
| dr_willis | guideX: works for most people.. you may want to check at askubuntu.com to see if any known issues/troubleshooting guides are out for that issue | 01:13 |
| guideX | ok cool | 01:13 |
| guideX | maybe it's because i'm in virtualbox... | 01:14 |
| guideX | i'll try the askubuntu | 01:14 |
| dr_willis | dont forget the vbox guest addations | 01:15 |
| guideX | oh I can't install them, I tried that.. upon installing the guest addons, the virtual machine freezes then never boots again | 01:15 |
| guideX | tried several times heh | 01:15 |

| dr_willis | they run the same stuffs | 01:30 |

| aiFrantz | zimzum77 there is no such thing as "noob".. only less educated :P | 01:30 |
| dr_willis | never noticed or needed geany for a termibal | 01:30 |
| aiFrantz | hehe.. no offense, and I'm bored to death. | 01:30 |
| aiFrantz | so, bear with me.. | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | i tend to use terminator | 01:31 |
| zimzum77 | hahaha, that be me | 01:31 |
| guideX | dr_willis: at the bottom of the geany window, there's several buttons "status", "compiler", "message" | 01:31 |
| guideX | and terminal | 01:31 |
| aiFrantz | dr_willis everyone says so.. terminator is kinda a great terminal emulator though | 01:31 |
| guideX | so it's like an integrated terminal window :) pretty cool | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | i rarely code. | 01:31 |
| guideX | ah ok | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | at one time nautilus had a terminal on a f key. | 01:32 |
| dr_willis | but i got removed i recall | 01:32 |
| aiFrantz | dr_willis: we can customize that hotkeys thingy, can't we? | 01:32 |
| aiFrantz | I had done this before on something other than nautilus | 01:32 |
| aiFrantz | pcmanfm if I'm not mistaken | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | different filemanagers may have the feature | 01:33 |
| aiFrantz | ahh I see | 01:33 |
| aiFrantz | so.. then, what's your preference? I bet nobody likes nautilus. | 01:33 |

| |Anthony| | lol | 01:41 |
| |Anthony| | yeah, it's an odd use case here for sure | 01:41 |
| |Anthony| | funny thing is that the deb box is a server | 01:41 |

| ubuntu-newb | is there any guide to using dual monitors with intel hd3000 somewhere? | 01:43 |
| === |_ocke3 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| CazyArsMut | hello, can someone help me out? crackle and youtube and hulu full screen all make my computer go dead. - i think it is my cheappy 310m nvidia graphics ion little chip. | 01:43 |
| aiFrantz | ubuntu-newb: maybe you can try something like xrandr or grandr setting | 01:43 |
| aiFrantz | I experimented dual-monitor thingy on nVidia 8400gs by using xrandr-grandr | 01:43 |
| ubuntu-newb | xrandr is just temporary... i want it to be permanent | 01:44 |
| aiFrantz | maybe you can google it :) | 01:44 |
| aiFrantz | hrm.. so, xrandr kinda bothering you? eh? | 01:44 |
| aiFrantz | don't know how to turn it on permanently | 01:44 |
| aiFrantz | sorry :'( | 01:44 |
| ubuntu-newb | well the desktop does not scale to the resolution... | 01:44 |
| ubuntu-newb | so it is just up in the corner after i changed the resolution | 01:45 |
| CazyArsMut | yup i am not the only one with graphics issues | 01:45 |
| [Saint] | Most monitors have an "auto" mode that should "just work" there. | 01:45 |
| ubuntu-newb | I should write and xorg.conf but it has been ages since i did dual monitors on linux and also that time it was with an nvidia card | 01:45 |
| ubuntu-newb | [Saint]: The problem is i have to set modelines manually for the large screen as DPMS still does not work properly in linux. | 01:46 |
| ubuntu-newb | so i probably need an xorg.conf anyways | 01:46 |
| [Saint] | Occasionally when I change resolutions or add/remove a monitor (triple head setup with a laptop) the resolution goes all weird - I just have to hit "auto" on the display. | 01:46 |
| [Saint] | I guess I'm lucky. | 01:46 |

| CazyArsMut | Kion, did you try to use the updater gui? | 01:49 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: first thing in the morning the auto update process went and told me of an error, then I tried in a terminal! | 01:50 |
| [Saint] | Kion: I take it this was your first stop? | 01:50 |
| [Saint] | if you google "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/mx.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_i18n_Translation-en" exactly, you'll find it hasd been answered multiple times. | 01:51 |
| [Saint] | Protip: Google first ;) | 01:51 |
| Kion | [Saint]: sorry I don't know why I didn't think of googoling it first! | 01:51 |
| CazyArsMut | when that happens to me, i just restart, then let everything load for a min then sign in, then let everything catch up again, then run the uploader again, be patient, select to install updates and if it does it again, i'm lost Kion | 01:51 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: Did that, with the same bad result | 01:52 |

| raj | where do I find the package libperl-text-aspell ? | 01:53 |
| CazyArsMut | Kion, did you get the restricted updates? | 01:54 |
| dibblego | hello, when I plug in an external blu-ray writer (Samsung SE-506AB) I do not see it listed in lsusb — is this because of some proprietary software needed? | 01:54 |
| CazyArsMut | you might be trying to update a program that needs those updates prior to running Kion | 01:54 |

| Kion | CazyArsMut: I think i got the restricted updates, and I didnt install anything between now and last successfull update | 01:55 |
| dibblego | well no, but I put a disk in there instead! | 01:55 |
| CazyArsMut | hahaha | 01:56 |
| CazyArsMut | yikes | 01:56 |
| CazyArsMut | sorry | 01:56 |
| [Saint] | [14:54:40] <CazyArsMut> you might be trying to update a program that needs those updates prior to running Kion <--- if that's the case, then, it is incredibly broken. As it should make sure of its dependencies. | 01:56 |
| CazyArsMut | i dont know what to say dibblego | 01:56 |
| maxb | My SE-506AB just worked without additional config (except for bluray video of course) | 01:56 |

| CazyArsMut | but Kion you can make sure by openning software center, then typing 'restricted' and checking if there is a little green checkmark next to it | 01:57 |

| dibblego | maxb: oh ok thanks, maybe some other problem then | 01:57 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: The software center will not open anymore because of the same problem | 01:57 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: it crashes! | 01:57 |
| CazyArsMut | yeah yeah - that's probably it - i would remove it Kion and then get the updates - or rad a bit more up on it's 'dependencies' then try to run it again after they have been met - Kion | 01:58 |

| * [Saint] wants his weather gadget back | 01:58 | |
| CazyArsMut | crap Kion - all i can tell you is that you should get an ssd and a fast processor and fast ram - 8gb preffered - and then run a new installation - i say ssd so you can install in 15 minuets - also if you have usb 3.0 you can run off flash much faster for demos and ghost riding hehehe - before you do any of that - get your data backed up on an external hard drive | 01:59 |
| dibblego | maxb: Can you please tell me the output of lsusb with your SE-506AB? Also, I should be able to play a regular DVD from it right? | 01:59 |
| CazyArsMut | Kion, remove the faulty program that won't update | 02:00 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: If I could only know which is it? | 02:00 |
| CazyArsMut | it looks like you have issues with the language dept | 02:01 |

| [Saint] | "upgrade your hardware" is about the worst fucking software advice I have ever heard. | 02:01 |

| CazyArsMut | honestly i would just re-install Kion and salvage my important data | 02:01 |
| ViperX | #anime | 02:01 |
| [Saint] | Also a highly stupid course of action. | 02:01 |

| Rokkross | Wait, if there's a language rule why doesn't the bot just have a badwords list that autokicks people? | 02:03 |
| Rokkross | Instead of waiting for people to mini-mod | 02:03 |
| Rokkross | I mean obviously the bot isn't opped, but it -could- be | 02:03 |
| [Saint] | Kion: out of interest - did you try google - where this has been asked and answered several times? ;) | 02:03 |
| [Saint] | I wasn't joking when I suggested it, or linked to a page showing you the fact. | 02:04 |
| IdleOne | because the bot would then be abused, and we prefer to explain the rules instead of enforcing the rules with kicks and bans. | 02:04 |
| Kion | [Saint]: I did, and have only read one solution that seems rather a security breach than a real solution to me | 02:04 |
| Rokkross | How would the bot be abused? | 02:04 |
| Rokkross | I don't understand. | 02:04 |
| CazyArsMut | crap man - oh - did you try to get a better location to gt updates from? it might be that your mirror or server location is bunk Kion | 02:04 |
| Kion | [Saint]: they say open you sources.lst and delete everything and copy and paste this! | 02:04 |
| |Anthony| | yeah, so i'm confused on this... to setup a samba server, do i need to have user accounts on both the client and server? | 02:04 |
| |Anthony| | this is really confusing me | 02:05 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: how do I get a better location, by using a internet proxy? | 02:05 |
| maxb | dibblego: Unfortunately I left it at my office, so I can't right now. I've played both DVDs and Blurays on it subject to navigating the pains of the copyprotection | 02:05 |
| [Saint] | Kion: repairing the sources list is exactly what you need to do. | 02:05 |
| Kion | CazyArsMut: in the system settings | 02:05 |
| dibblego | maxb: ok no worries, what are the hurdles with copy protection? | 02:05 |
| Kion | [Saint]: yes, I agree, how do I do that? | 02:05 |
| CazyArsMut | Kion - that's why when I reinstall and do my processes all over again from scratch I am going to make a history of action - So i can always just go back to my cloud doc and follow instructions to get it back to how it was before a breakdown. | 02:05 |

| CazyArsMut | ok - Kion open the updater | 02:06 |
| [Saint] | CazyArsMut: he's already said the updater GUI crashes has he not? | 02:06 |
| CazyArsMut | Kion - click on settings after it finishes starting up | 02:07 |
| [Saint] | see above. | 02:07 |
| maxb | dibblego: For DVDs, the usual "You need to install libdvdcss", for Bluray, the need to obtain key material from internet sites of dubious legitimacy, and even then there's no solution at all for newer discs | 02:07 |
| dibblego | maxb: oh ok, so that's the next step after I can get it up and running, cheers | 02:07 |
| [Saint] | The first thing the updater does when it launches is check the sources list - which is invalid - which is (apparently) the problem. | 02:07 |

| dr_willis | cups web interface --> http://localhost:631 | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | many networked printers show up and can use different methods. | 02:12 |
| maxb | OerHeks: Still doesn't address BD+ or AACS discs which have revoked the leaked keys. I don't think there's any solution for that | 02:12 |
| dr_willis | i found mine works well with ipp: on linuc | 02:12 |
| xangua | Guest83386: did you already sync the printer with your wifi¿ | 02:12 |
| Guest83386 | Sorry, but I have just began using this OS in order to make my weaker netbook usable again. I am new to linux, so I have opened up Chrome and went to http://localhost:631 | 02:13 |
| Guest83386 | I try to access administration but it asks for login info? | 02:13 |
| dr_willis | it wants the sudo password | 02:13 |
| maxb | dibblego: I had an idea - your SE-506AB isn't in its weird media emulation mode, is it? | 02:13 |
| Guest83386 | Xangua, yes. I have it working on Windows laptops | 02:14 |
| dibblego | maxb: its what what? | 02:14 |
| dibblego | maxb: the 1 page instruction said something about "AV mode" — I have no idea what that is | 02:14 |
| Guest83386 | dr_willis, thank you | 02:14 |
| Guest31469 | Hi i'm new to this chat and i have a question about Mozilla Thunderbird. its stuck in a full screen mode where i am not able to access the "x", the minimize button, or the maximize/minimize buttons. or the whole top menu bar for that matter. can anyone help me out?? | 02:14 |
| Quex01 | niggerniggernigger | 02:15 |
| subcool | Hey, someone mentioned that i can backup my configs, before i reformat. - How do i do that. Im kinda confused on what it meant anyways. I have my home director on a seperate partition. | 02:15 |
| dr_willis | Guest83386: i rarely use the cups tools. i tend to always use the cups web interface.. just seems to work better for me | 02:15 |
| maxb | dibblego: The SE-506AB has a bizarre mode where it attempts to emulate exposing a CD containing audio/video files as a USB flash disk or something like that | 02:15 |
| xangua | Guest83386: and what brand is¿ if it's supported you just open the dash, search for Printer settings, select the add option and it should appear | 02:15 |
| dr_willis | subcool: you customized any files in /etc/ ? | 02:15 |
| dibblego | maxb: oh that might be it, I will check it out, thanks! | 02:15 |
| YokoBR | guys, please, i'm getting this error while compiling kernel modules on 3.7 kernels. error: ‘VM_RESERVED’ undeclared (first use in this function) | 02:15 |
| Guest83386 | I still seem to be having problems logging in | 02:16 |
| subcool | dr_willis, got me. lol | 02:16 |
| maxb | dibblego: IIRC the mode toggle involves holding the eject button whilst the drive tray is open, and paying attention to the LED to know which mode it is in | 02:16 |
| subcool | personally- no. if someone helped me- maybe.. | 02:16 |
| subcool | dr_willis, | 02:16 |
| dibblego | maxb: yeah the instruction says something like that | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | subcool: guess you dont wory about it then. just be sure to NOT format your home partition during an install | 02:16 |
| Guest83386 | Xangua: It's a Canon Pixma MX860 | 02:16 |
| dr_willis | Guest83386: canon is famous.. for bad linux support.. | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | Guest83386: you may want to check askubuntu.com cups.org and the linuxprinting.org sites to see if its supported at all. | 02:17 |
| YokoBR | dr_willis, not more than AMD | 02:17 |
| dr_willis | yes.. more then amd... | 02:18 |
| dr_willis | only worse company then canon.. i can think of is 'SiS' | 02:18 |

| Guest83386 | Ah I must have been typing something wrong. Sorry about that. However, I am still confused on how to add my printer | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | theres a manage -> add printer item on that page Guest89833 | 02:20 |
| dr_willis | Guest83386: the page should have links to the cups docs also. | 02:20 |

| rats_ | randimiller: imagination is good for slide show type vids | 02:21 |
| xangua | Guest83386: assuming it is supported, you just select the add option> netword printer in Printer settings | 02:21 |
| YokoBR | anyone with HD 4XXX series AND xorg 1.13 or newest kernels AND fglrx-legacy (makson96) | 02:21 |
| Taev | nm how do i switch back to the default login display, and not kdm | 02:21 |
| maxb | dibblego: Yes, that. I guess verify you can turn that on and off, and then make sure it's off | 02:23 |
| Guest83386 | It does not appear supported on the CUPS website, however I believe the driver is available. Also, there is PIXMA MX350, I have PIXMAD MX860 | 02:23 |
| dibblego | maxb: oh it was already off, so I just turned it on | 02:24 |
| YokoBR | omg, i can't believe that i'll have to downgrade to 12.04 just to install amd driver | 02:24 |

| knoppies | hi, what is the difference between downloading 12.04.2 and using a 12.04 iso and updating? Is there any difference? | 02:27 |
| jrib | knoppies: you'll use more bandwidth one way | 02:27 |
| alainus | hi .. i can-t resize the main ubuntu partition .. even though there-s a lot of unallocated space ... it doesn-t let me.. here-s my setup.. http://imgur.com/6AiNTLG .. any tips ?? | 02:27 |
| knoppies | jrib, depending on whether I already have 12.04? | 02:27 |
| jrib | knoppies: I don't know what you mean | 02:27 |
| knoppies | jrib, I already have the 12.04 iso, so I wouldnt need to download it, assuming the updates are < 700MB I would be saving bandwidth by using that. | 02:28 |
| knoppies | alainus, free space needs to be contiguous, although that may not be your problem. | 02:28 |
| Taev | can some one please tell me how to restore unity, instead of kdm | 02:28 |
| jrib | knoppies: then that way will probably consume less bandwidth probably... | 02:29 |
| alainus | knoppies: apparently i had to do swapoff .. | 02:29 |
| knoppies | alainus, oh. Are you resizing the extended partition? | 02:29 |
| bsnl | Where is the hard drive located on ubuntu? It tells me to extract a file to the hard drive but I don't know where it is specifically on here | 02:29 |
| alainus | knoppies: yeps | 02:29 |
| jrib | bsnl: *what* tells you? | 02:29 |
| knoppies | bsnl, when it says that it means you need to extract it to anywhere inside /home/USERNAME/ | 02:30 |
| bsnl | Ah ok | 02:31 |
| bsnl | *what* | 02:32 |
| bsnl | Oh I thought that was a command that would tell me, but knoppies showed me | 02:32 |
| knoppies | bsnl, glad I could help. | 02:32 |
| bcbc2 | alainus: swap is mounted automatically by the live CD (which locks the extended partition). You can just unmount it: sudo swapoff -a | 02:33 |

| alainus | bcbc2, knoppies ... now it-s leaving unallocated space after which i can-t get rid of. ..see http://imgur.com/vZEZAr0 | 02:34 |
| knoppies | alainus, dont worry about that, most partitioning tools do. Its only 1MB. | 02:35 |
| bsnl | Ok! Thanks! One last thing, Apparently I don't have the permission to access extracting to the hard drive | 02:35 |
| randimiller | Rokkross, rats_, thanks this looks like it will do fine... it's no camtasia but will do temporarily | 02:35 |
| bsnl | Er I mean, i don't have permission to access that particular location of home | 02:36 |
| bsnl | when attempting to copy an extracted file there | 02:36 |
| knoppies | bsnl, /home/ belongs to root, you need to put it into /home/$USER | 02:36 |
| bsnl | Oh! Ok, thanks! | 02:36 |
| knoppies | alainus, Im not sure why they do that, I assume it has something to do with aligning to cylinders or something. You can try select align to MB. | 02:37 |
| bsnl | I can't figure out how to tell it to move to home/user | 02:39 |

| dr_willis | search for 'canon' in the software center and look | 02:43 |
| Guest83386 | I am just unsure of what to actually do with the archive file | 02:43 |
| billkd | Guest83396: Are you sure that Ubuntu doesn't include the drivers for your device in the repos? | 02:43 |
| knoppies | bsnl, what is the name of the file. You need to do cp filename /home/username | 02:43 |
| knoppies | bsnl, or if you want to move it (rather than copy it) then mv filename /home/username | 02:44 |

| bsnl | Brain Workshop has a few dependencies on Linux. | 02:48 |
| bsnl | First, get OpenGL working. Brain Workshop uses OpenGL as a backend for drawing its graphics. Hardware acceleration is strongly recommended, but if it's not available or easy to set up, the Mesa software renderer also works. | 02:48 |
| bsnl | Python: Most distributions come with Python preinstalled. Open a terminal and type python to ensure you have Python 2.5 or higher. Python 2.4 will also suffice as long as python-ctypes is installed. | 02:48 |

| Laogeodritt | me at work today—but I thought I'd ask and see if there are any 'common issues' of this description) | 03:22 |
| bktt | Does anybody knows how to hide my activity from the owner of a wifi conection? | 03:22 |
| MakiAto | you need to spoof | 03:23 |
| MakiAto | another connection | 03:23 |
| bktt | thak you very much i will search for this topic! | 03:24 |
| MakiAto | ask dr_willis for the hands on approach | 03:24 |
| bsnl | I still can't find it lol | 03:24 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: cd /home/yourusername/whatever | 03:25 |
| knoppies | bktt, I wouldnt look too much into that, if you want to hide your activity then use a tunnel of some sort. Either an SSH (port foward) tunnel or a VPN. | 03:25 |
| bsnl | What i'm trying to do is this "Open a terminal, enter the brainworkshop directory and type python brainworkshop.pyw to launch Brain Workshop." | 03:25 |
| heraclitis | anyone use teamviewer here? | 03:25 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: seriously.. reading a bash tutorial is worth it. | 03:25 |
| MakiAto | ME | 03:25 |
| MakiAto | i use TMviewer | 03:26 |
| dr_willis | cd brainworkshop | 03:26 |
| dr_willis | python whatever | 03:26 |
| bsnl | whats bash | 03:26 |
| dr_willis | !bash | 03:26 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:26 |
| === james_ is now known as Guest17284 | ||
| bsnl | Oh its ubuntus command prompt | 03:26 |
| MakiAto | !hash | 03:26 |
| MakiAto | !ash | 03:26 |
| knoppies | bsnl, yes. Also known as a terminal or cli. | 03:26 |
| heraclitis | MakiAto: do you know why teamviewer runs as a process on windows at all times? even if I don't have it started? | 03:26 |
| dr_willis | its not ubuntu specific | 03:26 |
| Guest17284 | Alright, so I managed to get the printer working. Now, how can I change it to grayscale only? When I go Job options, print-color-mode, monochrome, it does not stick | 03:27 |
| knoppies | bsnl, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal it will help you with most of your problems. | 03:27 |
| bsnl | The terminology and rules that the programs follow are completely elusive to me. if I had a break down of the laws of how ubuntu functions this would be much easier | 03:27 |
| MakiAto | you have to ask the devs | 03:27 |
| bsnl | Ok, i'll learn that tonight | 03:27 |
| MakiAto | heraclitis: try ##windows | 03:28 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: laws? its all normal linux/unix at the core | 03:28 |
| heraclitis | MakiAto: already have. I run it on both linux and windows. | 03:29 |
| bsnl | What I mean is, I don't know the logic behind how linux/unix functions atm | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: you dont know the basics.. start with a bash tutorial or 3 then work up | 03:29 |
| bsnl | Linux is just a name to me right now and nothing else | 03:29 |
| MakiAto | bsnl make yopur owne distro using LFS then you can be aloud to ask something like that in here | 03:29 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: remember case IS imporntant in linux | 03:29 |
| bsnl | i'm not sure what you're saying MakiAto | 03:29 |
| bsnl | What did I ask that was bad | 03:30 |
| Maroc | Checking ... | 03:30 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: hes just ranting.. ;-) | 03:30 |
| MakiAto | http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ | 03:30 |
| bean | in reality, though, don't ask "what's bash" that's googleable | 03:30 |
| MakiAto | !google bash | 03:31 |
| ubottu | I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ | 03:31 |
| bsnl | Ok, i'll get the google fu leveled up | 03:31 |
| knoppies | bsnl, you can ignore MakiAto. He just has no patience. | 03:31 |
| bsnl | I'm fine I just don't know what he was upset about, was it the easy google answer questions i'm asking that he doesn't like or something else? | 03:32 |
| jonesmj | Is there a setting to keep my cursor from disappearing? | 03:32 |
| Nautilus | is there a way for me to look at an HD's SMARTT data booted to a 12.04 live cd? | 03:32 |
| bsnl | Just couldn't see what he was mad at lol | 03:33 |
| * MakiAto thinks bsnl is Miguel in disguise | 03:33 | |
| connor | Hey so I installed Ubuntu and it is about perfect. The problem I have with it is the sound setup is very confusing. Is there anyway or any other programs to simplify it? | 03:33 |
| connor | The alsa mixer is what I'm referring to really. | 03:34 |
| MakiAto | connor: what do you mean exaclly? | 03:34 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, yes, try installing gnome-disk-utility. Then to call it from the camand line its called palimpsest | 03:34 |
| bsnl | Oh one real quck question and I think i'm done | 03:35 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, I cant believe I mistyped command. | 03:35 |
| knoppies | bsnl, dont ask to ask a question, just hit us with your question. | 03:35 |
| gnuskool | knoppies: shock, horrror! | 03:35 |
| bsnl | How much should I learn before i'm capable of installing gentoo? I've heard its a challenge that helps you learn linux better and i'd like to work up to that | 03:35 |
| Nautilus | knoppies: I can do that without it touching the HD? | 03:35 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, without it mounting the HD. Yes. | 03:35 |
| nuli | hello | 03:36 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, it will read from the HDD Smart data when you open palimpsest. | 03:36 |
| Nautilus | apt get gnome-disk-utility ? | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: if you have to ask what bash is.. you are a long way from using gentoo. | 03:36 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, dont forget the install, but yes. | 03:36 |
| MakiAto | Nautilus you should enable the only menu option that enables RAID | 03:36 |
| nuli | ee | 03:36 |
| bsnl | Thats ok, i'd just like to know what I have ahead of me before I can install gentoo | 03:36 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: read its install docs if you want. anf the lfs docs.. to learn some new terms | 03:36 |
| nuli | how to remove file on ubuntu | 03:36 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, install it, learn it as you go | 03:37 |
| nuli | how to remove file on ubuntu ?? | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: why do you even think you need gentoo | 03:37 |
| knoppies | bsnl, I would stay away from gentoo for a while. I know someone who started with gentoo and so he uses nothing else, but without a good mentor it will be like swimming in quicksand. | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | nuli: rm filename | 03:37 |
| holstein | nuli: right click.. delete.. highlight and hit delete... rm | 03:37 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, waiting till that perfect day you know enough is the slow way | 03:37 |
| dr_willis | !bash > nuli | 03:37 |
| ubottu | nuli, please see my private message | 03:37 |
| knoppies | nuli, rm filename #(or do you mean uninstall a program) | 03:37 |
| nuli | ok thank,,, im begginer | 03:37 |
| * dr_willis would hope rightclick-delete would be discoverable... | 03:38 | |
| nuli | when I block some domain on ubuntu /etc/hosts 127.0.0.0 www.youtube.com | 03:38 |
| bsnl | I tried installing it once before, I understood around 1/4 of the installation process but after 25% in I got a little lost | 03:38 |
| nuli | and when i access thah domain | 03:38 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, did that solve your issue? If you reboot you will need to re-download the gnome-disk-utility .deb package, you can copy it to your USB (or some other location) from /var/cache/apt/archives or something. | 03:39 |
| nuli | the content say error 4040 | 03:39 |
| rperez_cr | Do you recommend any bandwidth monitor tool, which sends emails alerts. I have already used ntop, bandwidth (comes with pfsense), mrtg. But any of them send alerts? (sorry with my english, if there is a mistake.) | 03:39 |
| nuli | how to change that message ??? | 03:39 |
| dr_willis | nuli: run your own web server. and set the ip to point to it | 03:39 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, always best to have a separate laptop or pc connected to the internet to lookup error messages, status messages or to ask in chat | 03:39 |
| nuli | when I block some domain on ubuntu /etc/hosts 127.0.0.0 www.youtube.com and when i access that domain the content say error 404 ... and how to change that message???? | 03:40 |
| dr_willis | nuli: run your own web server. and set the ip to point to it ie: 127.0.0.1 | 03:40 |

| knoppies | rperez_cr, I don't know of anything but that is something I am interested in myself. | 03:41 |
| Nautilus | knoppies: yep it sure did ... 1289 reallocated sectors | 03:41 |
| knoppies | MakiAto, what is stopping you from just trying it out with a LiveCD? | 03:41 |
| knoppies | Nautilus, gulp. | 03:41 |
| Nautilus | knoppies: it was already there, i didnt have to install it | 03:41 |
| Nautilus | knoppies: yup | 03:41 |
| stiltzkin | ATI GPU owners, anyone? Anyone with a working OpenCL setup on Ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| MakiAto | because if i do it and it doesent work i was just waisting my time!? | 03:42 |
| dr_willis | MakiAto: we cant tell you yes or no.. you need to try it | 03:42 |
| bsnl | I'm going to post the directions and then the command I typed and the terminals response | 03:43 |
| knoppies | MakiAto, and asking here isnt? We dont know what motherboard you have, or what specific ubuntu you are going to use, and even if we did, what makes you think that we have tested that combination ourselves. | 03:43 |
| MakiAto | so they have this stuff working at all in some hardwear? | 03:43 |
| bsnl | Open a terminal, enter the brainworkshop directory and type python brainworkshop.pyw to launch Brain Workshop | 03:43 |
| knoppies | MakiAto, yes. they do. | 03:43 |
| knoppies | MakiAto, it works on my laptop. | 03:43 |
| dr_willis | MakiAto: thats a yes | 03:43 |
| bsnl | /home/bsnl python brainworkshop.pyw | 03:44 |
| bsnl | bash: /home/bsnl: Is a directory | 03:44 |
| knoppies | bsnl, dont type in /home/bsnl, just type in python brainworkshop.pyw | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | bsmith093: cd /home/bsnl/brainworkshop | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | oops | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: cd /home/bsnl/brainworkshop | 03:44 |
| dr_willis | that IS 'entering the brainworksohop' directory | 03:45 |
| bsnl | For educational purposes, why didn't my command work? | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | because you are not giving a correct command | 03:45 |
| bsnl | dohoho | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | cd to the dir | 03:45 |
| dr_willis | run the command | 03:46 |
| jonesmj | Is there a setting to keep my cursor from disappearing? | 03:46 |
| knoppies | jonesmj, look for a setting in mouse or keyboard. I'll see if I can find one. | 03:47 |

| jonesmj | knoppies, I couldn't find one at all | 03:48 |
| bsnl | Yes | 03:48 |
| knoppies | jonesmj, I dont seem to have one on xubuntu, but I think one does exist. Something like hide cursor while typing, could also look for disable touchpad while typing. | 03:48 |

| dr_willis | bsnl: you now run the command | 03:51 |
| dr_willis | its not rocket surgery | 03:52 |
| dr_willis | this is like stuff covered in the first 10 min of a bash tutorial | 03:52 |
| selena2013 | sometimes it is lol | 03:52 |
| gnuskool | oh, the joys of bash | 03:53 |
| MakiAto | who need a mouse anyways | 03:53 |
| dr_willis | a 10 min reading = 2 hrs of irc tutoring | 03:53 |
| selena2013 | i rarely use the terminal | 03:53 |
| selena2013 | all graphical gui | 03:53 |
| gnuskool | selena2013: really, try a week with no gui | 03:54 |
| selena2013 | hell no | 03:54 |
| selena2013 | lol | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | its easier to give bash commands on irc support | 03:54 |
| MakiAto | the black hole of bash | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | the wasted time of searching a gui for a 2 word bash command.... | 03:55 |
| MakiAto | thats the beuty of linux it can be modern and arcane at the same time | 03:55 |
| selena2013 | thats right | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | windows has the exact same issues in many cases | 03:55 |
| MakiAto | its kinda of like the beuty and the beast | 03:55 |
| selena2013 | lol | 03:56 |
| MakiAto | !questions | 03:58 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 03:58 |
| knoppies | selena2013, do yourself a favour. Dont be afraid of the terminal. Use it a little here, and a little there. In a few months you will do things that are quicker to do on a terminal in the terminal, and the things that are quicker todo in a GUI in the GUI. Before you know it you will be writing scripts which do things like only move certain files or bulk rename files. The terminal is still VERY powerful, even in todays G | 03:58 |
| knoppies | UI oriented computing. | 03:58 |
| patr|ck | <3 | 03:59 |
| panorain | Sup | 03:59 |
| selena2013 | knoppies i know is powerful but i gui is easier | 03:59 |
| MakiAto | selena2013: try sudo ./ it shows pretty cat pics | 03:59 |
| panorain | I am using slitaz 4 on a different pc | 03:59 |
| selena2013 | lol | 03:59 |
| knoppies | selena2013, not true. There are many things that are easier to do in a terminal than in a GUI. and its not that much harder to learn, just harder to remember. (thats what man pages are for) | 04:00 |
| MakiAto | its a linux easter egg | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | at times the gui is harder | 04:00 |
| panorain | dr | 04:00 |
| usr13 | knoppies: (I use a GUI terminal :) | 04:00 |
| knoppies | usr13, Match made in heaven. | 04:00 |
| usr13 | Who remembers? (I use notes.) | 04:01 |
| selena2013 | but gui is beautiful | 04:01 |
| knoppies | selena2013, so is green on black terminal (imo). Fine, stick to your ways. | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | gui can be an eyesore | 04:01 |
| panorain | dr_willis does the ext3 format on usb support swapping files easily as msdos? | 04:01 |
| usr13 | so's CLI | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | panorain: swapping files means? | 04:01 |
| MakiAto | yellow on black | 04:01 |
| panorain | dr_willis I seem to have problems with transferring/copying files form linux based computers with the usb:thumb drive ext3 | 04:02 |
| knoppies | selena2013, (this isnt exactly fair, as its not a terminal but a bootsplash) Tell me this is NOT beautiful: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/KNOPPIX_booting.png/300px-KNOPPIX_booting.png | 04:02 |
| rats_ | GUIs are for the desktop terminal is for under the hood - depends on your workflow | 04:03 |
| knoppies | rats_, thats not even true. I use the terminal for a lot of desktop tasks. | 04:03 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: I think panorain has troubles with a file manager. | 04:03 |
| rats_ | both are good | 04:03 |
| selena2013 | looks nice | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | panorain: ownership and permissions ARE remembered on a removeable usb thats ext# formated | 04:03 |
| selena2013 | with the tux | 04:03 |
| MakiAto | i wished my irc client look half as good | 04:03 |
| knoppies | MakiAto, tried weechat? | 04:04 |
| panorain | usr13 when I format the usb /sda etc file system ext3 makes it hard to transfer files | 04:04 |
| usr13 | panorain: Ahhh yes, it's file ownerships you have problems with. Right? | 04:04 |
| dr_willis | panorain: linux dosent care that they are removeable. | 04:04 |
| MakiAto | im going to oinstall mirc in wine | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | it treats them the same.. so set up the users the same way. or chown/chmod the files as needed | 04:05 |
| usr13 | panorain: If it's not file ownership, I don't know what the problem is. Files are files.... | 04:05 |
| panorain | usr13 possible why to I see always etc3 has a new trash bin included in a freshly created thumb drive? | 04:05 |
| gnuskool | panorain: you could have kept the format of the usb as NTFS if yu wanted to, it would have worked | 04:05 |
| panorain | usr13 ext3 sorry | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | !trash | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. | 04:05 |
| panorain | gnuskool meaning with using gparted? | 04:06 |
| usr13 | panorain: That is the function of the file manager, (which gives you an un-delete option). | 04:06 |
| usr13 | ... same as MS Windows... | 04:07 |
| panorain | usr13 please help me run through a setup on a 2.0 gig thumbdrive easily partitioned and able to swap file with my slitaz4 pc | 04:07 |
| gnuskool | panorain: yes, the usb can be of FAT32/NTFS which is windoes format and that would have been ok | 04:07 |
| usr13 | panorain: I usually use the default fat32 so that the device can be easily shared with other OSs. | 04:08 |
| gnuskool | panorain, then format it to fat32 | 04:08 |
| panorain | gnuskool I have inserted the thumbdrive what is my next step with the bash terminal? | 04:08 |
| usr13 | panorain: They come that way, I leave it that way. | 04:09 |
| gnuskool | panorain, have you already changed it to ext3 format? | 04:09 |
| panorain | gnuskool please hold on 15 seconds | 04:09 |
| usr13 | panorain: You want to re-format it? | 04:09 |
| skate | whats a good command in terminal to display cpu temp readout? | 04:10 |
| dr_willis | gparted works well for that panorain | 04:10 |
| panorain | usr13 I would like to reformat the 2.0 gig thumbdrive | 04:10 |
| panorain | gnuskool I opened gparted now | 04:10 |
| usr13 | skate: I think that info comes from BIOS | 04:11 |
| aiFrantz | skate: need to install few things few, e.g. lm_sensors | 04:11 |
| panorain | gnuskool the device is picked up and labeled /dev/sdf | 04:11 |
| dr_willis | delete ecisting partition. make new one. format it to vfat or whatever its called | 04:11 |
| usr13 | panorain: mkdosfs /dev/sd?# | 04:11 |
| skate | ok thnx | 04:11 |
| panorain | usr13 from terminal sudo prefix? mkdosfs /dev/sd?# | 04:12 |
| usr13 | panorain: sudo fdisk -l | 04:12 |
| usr13 | panorain: (You first have do decide which device you want to format.) | 04:13 |
| aiFrantz | skate: this tutorial might be handy for you.. complete guide http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-get-sensors-information/ | 04:13 |
| panorain | usr13 I would like only a linux based format to share between linux computers | 04:13 |
| usr13 | panorain: (Be sure to select the correct device.) | 04:13 |
| panorain | usr13 my drive is /dev/sdf | 04:14 |
| panorain | usr13 I have opend sudo fdsik -l | 04:14 |
| usr13 | panorain: Why would the filesystem matter? | 04:14 |
| panorain | usr13 It should not matter | 04:14 |
| skate | great! thank you aiFrantz | 04:14 |
| aiFrantz | panorain: usr13: why don't you use palimpsest/gnome-disk-utility to format the drive? kinda curious here O.o? | 04:14 |
| usr13 | panorain: type mk and hit the tab key a couple times. | 04:14 |
| usr13 | panorain: (take your pick) | 04:15 |
| usr13 | panorain: mkfs.ext3 ? | 04:15 |
| dr_willis | vfat works well for sneaker-net transfers | 04:15 |
| panorain | usr13 yes | 04:15 |
| usr13 | panorain: I agree with dr_willis. I recomment vfat | 04:16 |
| panorain | aiFrranz I do not know gnoe disk utility | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | thats his whole issue | 04:16 |
| usr13 | panorain: But its up to you. | 04:16 |
| gnuskool | panorain: mkfs.vfat -In ‘enter-some-name-here-ok’ /dev/sdf | 04:16 |
| panorain | usr13 please help you are appreciated | 04:16 |
| dr_willis | mkfs.vfat /dev/sdf1 | 04:16 |
| panorain | gnuskool ok | 04:16 |
| usr13 | panorain: Why would you want to limit it's use only to systems that will read ext3 ? | 04:16 |
| gnuskool | usr13: he wants to share with a windows os | 04:17 |
| aiFrantz | panorain: install = sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility ... to invoke, put this command into terminal : palimpsest ... quite handy | 04:17 |
| panorain | usr13 I do not necessarily want to limit it this way | 04:17 |
| usr13 | panorain: Then use vfat | 04:17 |
| aiFrantz | gnome-disk-utility is a GUI tool.. much easier to someone who is no expert in this terminal thingy. but I do encourage to use terminal instead... much more fun I guess ^.^ | 04:18 |
| panorain | aiFranz I have opened the utility now | 04:18 |
| usr13 | panorain: mkfs.vfat = mkdosfs -f32 | 04:19 |
| aiFrantz | the rest is much more self-explanatory... | 04:19 |
| panorain | thank you | 04:19 |
| panorain | aiFranz must I unmount before partitioning? | 04:20 |
| usr13 | panorain: Yes | 04:20 |
| aiFrantz | panorain: yes you must | 04:20 |
| panorain | aiFranz I have unmounted the usb drive now | 04:20 |
| aiFrantz | ok.. proceed to whatever next step you wanna proceed | 04:21 |
| panorain | usr13 the label of the drive is fat32 | 04:21 |
| usr13 | panorain: Doesn't matter. | 04:21 |
| panorain | aiFranz what should I do now to clear the thumb drive | 04:21 |
| aiFrantz | formatting volume and formatting drive aren't the same thing on gnome-disk-utility. to clean the drive, select format drive | 04:22 |
| usr13 | panorain: Just format it. (All data will be cleared, gone) | 04:22 |

| usr13 | panorain: You don't want to re-partition it do you? You just want to format it. Right? | 04:23 |
| panorain | usr13 yes 1 big partition 2.0 gigs | 04:23 |
| aiFrantz | gtg... got something to do | 04:23 |
| usr13 | panorain: How many does it have now? | 04:23 |

| panorain | aiFranz should I create a partition now? | 04:28 |
| usr13 | panorain: If you wiped out the partition table, you'll need to re-partition it so that you'll have a partition to format. | 04:28 |
| MakiAto | i bet the only women in irc must be here because its in theyr job discriptions | 04:28 |
| panorain | usr13 what type of partition is best between all? | 04:28 |
| usr13 | panorain: As dr_willis said a while back, mkfs.vfat /dev/sdf1 #would have formatted it. | 04:29 |
| usr13 | panorain: Primary | 04:29 |
| usr13 | panorain: If you only use one, no choice, primary | 04:30 |
| panorain | usr13 ok thank you | 04:30 |
| gnuskool | panorain, how is it going? | 04:31 |
| MakiAto | usr13: we dont use /dev/sdf you should recall the drive UUID | 04:31 |

| MakiAto | probablly Miguel seted that up for us | 04:32 |
| usr13 | MakiAto: What? | 04:32 |

| sproc | I've set my prompt as follows: export PS1="\h:\w\$ "; However, after doing "sudo bash" successfully, I still see $ instead of #; why? | 04:40 |
| gnuskool | panorain, ok/ | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | sproc dont use sudo bash | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | !sudo | 04:40 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 04:40 |
| sproc | I don't make a habit of it; however I still would like to understand why this is so. | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | use sudo -i | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | your bash is runni g roots bash init files | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | and messing with the enviroment settings | 04:43 |
| sproc | If I have that same line in root's .bashrc, it also shows $ rather than #. | 04:45 |
| sproc | (when logged in as root via sudo -i) | 04:45 |
| Firestorm65 | Are there any packages specialized for protecting laptop batteries from extra wear? | 04:45 |

| Curs0r | Ok, so I still have the chance to stay at 12.04 once I get there? | 04:49 |
| Curs0r | I started out with 10.04 server this evening. My dahdi card stopped working after upgrading releases. I'm hoping it starts working again by the time I get it up to the 12s... | 04:52 |
| RustyShackleford | previously, Additional Drivers would appear | 04:53 |
| RustyShackleford | and thats how I installed it | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | in 12.10+ the addational drivers tool is in a tab on the software-sources tool | 04:54 |
| holstein | RustyShackleford: try the link i gave to do it manually | 04:55 |
| RustyShackleford | dr_willis, awesome, thanks | 04:56 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: any specific errormessages? | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | they really should have made an alias/script for jockey-gtk to pull up that tool and focus that tab | 04:57 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, no sir, dahdi commands not showing up in asterisk, lspci shows it happy as can be | 04:57 |
| Rallias | How would I go about changing my lxbr0 ip network? | 04:57 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: so what did you upgrade, kernel? | 04:58 |
| Mick_James | I have a question relating to USB installation of Ubuntu via USB on a machine that has no USB boot option in the Bios | 04:58 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, I did a do-release-upgrade and am now doing another that should apparently put me at 11.10 | 04:59 |
| panorain | usr13 IS AWESOME! | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | installing a full install to usb? you would need to put grub where it can boot from | 05:00 |
| holstein | Mick_James: plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html | 05:00 |
| * Curs0r likey LTS so shooting for 12.04 | 05:00 | |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: I think the initial problem is that a newer kernel does not recompile dahdi drivers, so a recompile would have fixed it | 05:00 |
| Mick_James | Thanks Holstien, Im assuming there's something out there similar to the CD helper | 05:01 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: Ive come across this before | 05:01 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, I will do that when I have finished 'modernizing' thanks :) | 05:01 |
| Mick_James | Installing from USB dr_willis | 05:01 |
| Curs0r | Err, rather I will get confused probably and ask how to do that | 05:01 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: solution here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610457 | 05:01 |
| holstein | Mick_James: i dont know what "the cd helper" is, but if you want to boot usb on legacy hardware, plop will do it | 05:01 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, that solution is equally valid in 12.04? | 05:02 |
| gnuskool | cursor, I can only assume, as everytime I did a kernel upgrade, I had to do that | 05:03 |
| Curs0r | Ok. I will call that plan A :) | 05:03 |
| Curs0r | After I have covered my own backside and gotten the phone system working I have to tackle samba. She cranky :) | 05:03 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: have fun | 05:05 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: the single comand you need is /var/lib/dpkg/info/dahdi-dkms.postinst configure | 05:06 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, thankfully that one should be simple. "it's allowing shared folders to be accessed but not allowing the user to access the computer's address for a list of shares" is the shakily written note in front of me | 05:07 |
| Mick_James | Thanks holstein, worked a treat | 05:07 |

| === c_smith is now known as c_smith_away | ||
| XSevenX | it seems as though every time I try to do anything "new" on this OS I'm confronted by about 50 different problems, all requiring extensive amounts of reading, and extremely boring work | 05:09 |
| XSevenX | I've already abandoned any hope of ever doing half the things I wanted to do with this pc that I built myself until I can afford a proper OS | 05:09 |
| XSevenX | but all I wanted to do this time was play Dwarf Fortress | 05:09 |
| XSevenX | so I go to the bay12 site and proceed to download the files for linux, and then I look at the installation guide. | 05:10 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i find sometimes its easier for folks who have no experience with any other OS... dwarf fortress can make a native linux version | 05:10 |
| XSevenX | lo and behold there is this entire massive wall of text that I don't even feel like reading | 05:10 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: cant say without seeing your shares or samba.conf | 05:10 |
| XSevenX | holstein just look at this, I mean, really. | 05:10 |
| panorain | you guys are awesome | 05:11 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: permissions, I mean | 05:11 |
| XSevenX | holstein: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/v0.31:Installation | 05:11 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: is there a support question anywhere in your wall of text? | 05:11 |
| XSevenX | all I see when I look at this is "problem, another problem, problem, more problems" | 05:11 |
| penth | Anyone else have trouble with menu and screen-lock compositing? All my menus and modals are showing up behind all the other windows | 05:11 |
| Ben64 | this channel isn't really for ranting | 05:11 |
| gnuskool | panorain: finally fixed? i thought you had formatted the wrong drive lol | 05:11 |
| XSevenX | you know I thought I learned how to install, and "run" programs on this OS | 05:11 |
| panorain | gnuskool thank you my issue has been solved | 05:12 |
| XSevenX | and then I continue to find shit like this that just baffles me, because I don't even understand what it is wanting me to do | 05:12 |
| XSevenX | am I supposed to reprogram my linux? | 05:12 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: dude, chill | 05:12 |
| panorain | gnuskool thank you for ll your help | 05:12 |
| Ben64 | go somewhere else if you want to just rant | 05:12 |
| holstein | XSevenX: please watch the language.. this is the official support channel | 05:12 |
| panorain | gnuskool all | 05:12 |
| Ben64 | if you have a question, ask one | 05:12 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, if you're still around in a bit I can pastebin for you. Still got a long haul doing the release upgrade shuffle. | 05:12 |
| XSevenX | watch what language? | 05:12 |
| gnuskool | panorain: no prob, didnt do much | 05:12 |
| holstein | XSevenX: they can release the program for ubuntu.. even in the software center. and might eventually | 05:12 |
| holstein | XSevenX: where are you having issues? | 05:13 |
| panorain | gnuskool people like you are wonderful to have in the computer world | 05:13 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: ok, if im about, no problem | 05:13 |
| panorain | usr13 is awesome i have to add | 05:13 |
| XSevenX | ..I seriously cannot put my hand into my face any harder right now | 05:13 |
| XSevenX | holstein my problem is: WHY DOES THIS OS HAVE TO BE SO DRAMATICALLY NON-USER FRIENDLY? | 05:14 |
| gnuskool | panorain: :D | 05:14 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: if you don't have an actual support question, could you just not say anything? | 05:14 |
| Curs0r | XSevenX, try gentoo and say that again | 05:14 |
| holstein | XSevenX: the OS didnt create that game.. wwhere are you having issues? | 05:14 |
| somsip | XSevenX: simple - stop shouting, stop swearing, stop ranting. state your specific question | 05:14 |
| suhaib | XSevenX: That is why I don't agree with those who want to let non-geek people to use Ubuntu | 05:14 |
| panorain | XsevenX I could add slitaz 4 to the list | 05:15 |
| holstein | XSevenX: the readme is actually not that bad.. where are you having issues? | 05:15 |
| XSevenX | I read the readme and it makes no sense to me | 05:15 |
| XSevenX | all I want to do is run the program as I have done on Windows | 05:15 |
| XSevenX | it gives me no command to input into my terminal | 05:16 |
| XSevenX | I go to the help on how to install it | 05:16 |
| holstein | XSevenX: you can start with what *exactly* is making no sense, or ask the developers of the game.. | 05:16 |
| XSevenX | and it says I need to get all these libraries | 05:16 |
| XSevenX | holstein this has nothing to do with the game ffs | 05:16 |
| holstein | XSevenX: it says you need to get specific libraries, that are listed.. is that where you would like to start? | 05:16 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the devs need to make a proper .deb | 05:16 |
| XSevenX | exactly, I'm gonna go to these webpages | 05:16 |
| gleaken | I have a question regarding ehci_hcd binding. I was messing around with unbinding it from my adapter because I thought I had a problem with the driver for a USB HDD. Now, even though I re-bound it, it does not rebind upon reboot. I have to bind it manually. On my laptop, I didn't fiddle around with it, so it binds correctly each reboot. What am I missing? | 05:16 |
| holstein | XSevenX: actually, this has *everything* to do with the game.. nothing to do with the OS | 05:16 |
| XSevenX | and it's gonna say I need __________ in order to get _____________ in order to run ___________ in order to find ___________ | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | i imagine all the libs are in the repos | 05:17 |
| XSevenX | this is the case with _everything_ on this OS | 05:17 |
| * dr_willis has never had to track down dll's on windows... done here.. | 05:17 | |
| Curs0r | That's how it is with all OSes. Linux just has a very wide array | 05:17 |
| XSevenX | no matter WHAT I want to do on this OS I need to have _____ in order find _____ in order to search for _____ in order to learn about _____ in order to download _____ in order to have file #1 of #299 in order to run program X | 05:17 |
| holstein | XSevenX: not with things that are made to run in ubntu.. from the repos or softare center.. but what would you like to do? talk about the dependanties? | 05:18 |
| holstein | XSevenX: we can constructively review the readme.. otherwise, you need to stop posting so the volunteers here can help others | 05:18 |
| KI4RO | Isn't Samba made to run in Ubuntu? It is not a fun install | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | i have no real issues with samba | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | i fight more with windows to windows networking | 05:19 |
| gnuskool | XSevenX: when you have all the necessary files and are ready to get it done, give me a shout | 05:21 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i would just right click and make the "df" file executable and try running it.. i have it running here, and i didnt do anything special | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | yeah i have it running too | 05:23 |
| Ben64 | easy peasy lemon squeezy | 05:23 |
| gleaken | Is anyone familiar with the usb error, cannot bind on USB port. I tried unbinding and rebinding the ehci_hcd driver and now it doesn't bind upon reboot. Is there anyone who is familiar with that issue? | 05:23 |
| holstein | XSevenX: its click and run.. | 05:24 |
| Ben64 | apparently it's easier to complain then to try | 05:24 |
| Xchatnova | hola | 05:25 |
| Xchatnova | hi | 05:25 |
| XSevenX | holstein I did attempt to run the "df" file and it did nothing but stall/sit here | 05:25 |

| XSevenX | and then I went to the website for further help | 05:25 |
| holstein | XSevenX: its running for me.. try right click and run in terminal and see what the errors are | 05:25 |
| XSevenX | terminal opens, terminal closes, nothing happens | 05:26 |
| holstein | XSevenX: make it executable.. and run it in the terminal... | 05:26 |
| XSevenX | it says "df" is an executable file | 05:27 |
| Firestorm65 | any wine wizards here? #winehq is nonresponsive | 05:27 |
| XSevenX | "Run in terminal", "Display", "Cancel", "Run" | 05:27 |
| XSevenX | and so I "Run in terminal" | 05:27 |
| XSevenX | terminal opens, terminal closes, nothing happens | 05:27 |
| Ben64 | then open a terminal, navigate to where df is, and run it from terminal | 05:27 |
| holstein | XSevenX: maybe start over and re-download it.. i grabbed http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/df_34_11_linux.tar.bz2 | 05:27 |
| Nach0z | Firestorm65: ask away hombre, someone might know the answer | 05:27 |
| XSevenX | I have the same package holstein | 05:28 |
| Firestorm65 | http://pastebin.com/y44Zax98 just want to fix this | 05:28 |
| Firestorm65 | not sure if it's as simple as finding the ddl or more involved | 05:28 |
| XSevenX | I have df_linux in my "Home" folder | 05:28 |
| jefimenko | this is probably a longshot, but does anyone here know how to run the equivalent of debuild using pbuilder-dist? | 05:28 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i extracted the download, and right clicked on "df" and set it to executable.. then i clicked it and ran it in terminal.. | 05:28 |
| XSevenX | what do you mean you "set it" to executable? | 05:29 |
| holstein | XSevenX: navigate inside "df_linux" do "df".. right click on it, and go to permissions and set it to executable | 05:29 |
| XSevenX | okay, I went to Properties, and I allowed it to execute as a program | 05:30 |
| penth | jefimenko, you'd probably get better advice in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-packaging | 05:30 |
| XSevenX | and I just attempted to open in terminal, and then also run it | 05:30 |

| Firestorm65 | no one's home there | 05:34 |
| XSevenX | holstein I do not know how to navigate to anything in this terminal because the way this OS sorts files is unfamiliar to me | 05:34 |
| penth | ok, sorry. | 05:34 |
| alainus | i'm getting "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found." in GRUB, and then a grub rescue> prompt. what shall i do ?? | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | copy the dll to the right wine win32 dir. in .wine or perhaps put it in the samw dir as the .exe | 05:34 |
| holstein | XSevenX: cd ~/Downloads/df_linux/ | 05:34 |
| holstein | XSevenX: let me delete mine, and i'll copy paste what works for me | 05:35 |
| XSevenX | ok I've found it in the terminal holstein | 05:36 |
| XSevenX | what's really stupid | 05:36 |
| XSevenX | is that I've figured out how to view my system processes | 05:36 |
| XSevenX | and kill processes | 05:36 |
| XSevenX | without any informmation | 05:36 |
| XSevenX | but getting anything to function or run on this OS requires 10 hours of labor and 20 hours of hard study | 05:37 |
| XSevenX | why would they design something this difficult to use | 05:37 |
| suhaib | anyone has tried 13.1 here ? | 05:37 |
| suhaib | AMD 13.1 catalyst driver ? | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | suhaib: #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | linux grew.. not really designed.. | 05:38 |
| suhaib | dr_willis: do you think I should install 13.04 now ? or wait for the beta | 05:38 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i'll pastebin you *exactly* what worked for me, but keep your posting in here support related please | 05:38 |
| Firestorm65 | I put the .dll in the system32 folder and the bin folder | 05:39 |
| Firestorm65 | neither changed anything | 05:39 |
| === Orbit is now known as Guest26914 | ||
| dr_willis | suhaib: im not even sure if they are doing the beta stuff any more. or how they call it | 05:39 |
| suhaib | dr_willis: accroding to the wiki, it says they are releasing the beta on 7th of march :-s | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | Firestorm65: the #windows guys may now the proper way to add it.. | 05:40 |
| Guest26914 | guys | 05:40 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: i think theres a winetricks for it | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | suhaib: ive not tried 13.04 yet. no time to install it. | 05:40 |
| suhaib | Guest26914: yes Guest26914 | 05:40 |
| Firestorm65 | haven't messed with winetricks | 05:40 |
| Firestorm65 | will check that out | 05:40 |
| dr_willis | Firestorm65: what dll is it? | 05:40 |
| suhaib | dr_willis: Oh, I see | 05:40 |
| Firestorm65 | X3DAudio1_2.dll | 05:41 |
| holstein | XSevenX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5589612/ is yielding http://imagebin.org/249154 | 05:41 |
| dr_willis | Firestorm65: whats it supposed to be for? | 05:41 |
| Firestorm65 | The program is SupremeCommander.exe, an RTS game | 05:42 |
| linsirzhu | hello | 05:42 |
| Firestorm65 | no idea what the .dll is for besides the obvious of the name | 05:42 |
| XSevenX | holstein | 05:42 |
| XSevenX | how am I supposed to know these commands that you are using | 05:42 |
| dr_willis | if its part of directx stuff winetricks may be able to fix it up | 05:42 |
| Firestorm65 | it probably is | 05:42 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i gave them to you.. in the pastebin.. you can do it in the GUI as well.. i did, by reading the readme | 05:43 |
| Firestorm65 | but it's not on the winetricks list | 05:43 |
| linsirzhu | who has the command set ? | 05:43 |
| Firestorm65 | so not sure what to do | 05:43 |
| XSevenX | no holstein I mean how do YOU know these commands? | 05:43 |
| dr_willis | Firestorm65: checked the wine app database? | 05:43 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: if you put the dll manually in the system32 directory, you need to enable it with winecfg | 05:43 |
| holstein | XSevenX: experience..and reading readme's.. and asking questions.. | 05:43 |
| Firestorm65 | what's the command for that Ben64? | 05:43 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: winecfg | 05:44 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i didnt open the terminal the first time.. i just right clicked | 05:44 |
| Firestorm65 | lol okay | 05:44 |
| Firestorm65 | so what do I do from there? | 05:44 |
| Firestorm65 | add it to the list of overrides? | 05:44 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: yeah, and set it to "native" | 05:45 |
| linsirzhu | what are you talking about? | 05:45 |
| penth | If you're on a 64-bit system, then things get a bit trickier. Since DF is a 32-bit application, it needs 32-bit versions of the shared libraries. Some Linux distributions provide these in one or more packages that you can download. For example, in Debian, the ia32-libs package contains most of the common 32-bit libraries, including libSDL (saith http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Installation) | 05:45 |
| XSevenX | holstein it just says chmod: cannot access `./d': No such file or directory | 05:45 |
| XSevenX | same if I add data/ df | 05:46 |
| linsirzhu | holstein ,I don | 05:46 |
| holstein | XSevenX: its not './d'.. its './df' | 05:46 |
| Firestorm65 | nothing changed | 05:46 |
| XSevenX | 4th line says ./d, and then /data df | 05:46 |
| Firestorm65 | not sure I did it right | 05:46 |
| XSevenX | error with something to do with libSDL1.2.so.0 | 05:47 |
| holstein | XSevenX: that was a tab complete.. i should have taken that out.. would you like for me to? or can you just skip to the next one that will work? | 05:47 |
| holstein | XSevenX: is this a 64bit install? as penth asked? | 05:48 |
| XSevenX | so I have to go through the process of downloading libraries for my 64-bit installation | 05:48 |
| penth | for the libsdl error, see what I just posted above | 05:48 |
| Curs0r | 11.10 :) the march progresses haha | 05:48 |
| Firestorm65 | I added it, set to native | 05:48 |
| Firestorm65 | then tried to run from terminal | 05:48 |
| Firestorm65 | same error | 05:48 |
| XSevenX | " If you're on a 64-bit system, then things get a bit trickier." | 05:48 |
| XSevenX | aka I'm going to want to rip my hair out | 05:48 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| holstein | XSevenX: then run the suggested 32bit 12.04 | 05:49 |
| penth | You chose to play an unpackaged game without source code. | 05:49 |
| holstein | XSevenX: i literally clicked and ran it from 12.04 32bit.. | 05:49 |
| XSevenX | I don't understand what you're saying | 05:49 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 05:49 |
| Firestorm65 | okay, which version of directx should I install using wine-tricks | 05:50 |
| Firestorm65 | the .dll is from directx | 05:50 |
| holstein | XSevenX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit will help | 05:50 |
| holstein | XSevenX: assuming you are running a 64bit os.. and trying to run the 32bit game you downloaded | 05:50 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: have you installed "xact" from winetricks | 05:51 |
| Firestorm65 | Is there any way I will hurt anything by installing all the dlls in winetricks | 05:51 |
| Firestorm65 | and no, not yet | 05:51 |
| XSevenX | holstein I don't even understand the significance of 32-bit or 64-bit | 05:51 |
| RustyShackleford | I can't remember the name of a package that lets you tweak pulseaudio | 05:51 |
| Firestorm65 | first time running winetricks | 05:51 |
| Ben64 | Firestorm65: well you should, the appdb page says to | 05:51 |
| Ben64 | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7038 | 05:51 |
| bsnl | Ok so it turned out they pretty much sucked at giving directions, I got the program running easy now | 05:51 |
| XSevenX | I simply assumed that 64-bit was better, and that I'm running a fairly high-end and new processor, so I went with a 64-bit OS installation | 05:51 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 05:52 |
| bsnl | I don't mean you guys, the people who wrote the directions on the program download website | 05:52 |
| Firestorm65 | I don't know what xact is. | 05:52 |
| bsnl | meant those guys | 05:52 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, gentoo? | 05:52 |
| XSevenX | and when I was running 32-bit I often had to get specific .dll's in Windows so that 64-bit applications would function properly on my 32-bit OS | 05:52 |
| XSevenX | I did that ben64 | 05:52 |
| Firestorm65 | nvmd found it | 05:52 |
| holstein | XSevenX: thats why i would suggest just running 32bit.. or coming here and asking one of the volunteers.. or install the 32bit ia32-libs package that several have suggested | 05:52 |
| XSevenX | it's still installation the libraries | 05:52 |
| penth | It is, but you'll note from the df wiki that the game is precompiled with 32-bit libraries. No choice but to download the libraries or play somehting else | 05:52 |
| XSevenX | installing* | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | i only use 64bit.. and rarely have issues with 32bit apps. | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: then you should be good | 05:53 |
| penth | You could always play nethack or minecraft | 05:53 |
| SunStar | i have more issues running a 32bit OS than 64 | 05:53 |
| XSevenX | I have yet to try and tackle Minecraft penth | 05:53 |
| bsnl | No not gentoo, just brainworkshop. They never specified the contents had to be removed from the extracted folder and then placed in the hard drive directory as naked files with no file | 05:53 |
| === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic | ||
| bsnl | That was the problem the whole time | 05:53 |
| dr_willis | ia32-libs always get installed on my systems | 05:53 |
| XSevenX | I simply assume from now on that if I want to run anything that I'm not already running on this OS that it is going to take at least 10 hours of continuous effort to do so | 05:54 |
| gnuskool | XSevenX: isin't this fun?? you'll love the game a lot more after this experience :d | 05:54 |
| Firestorm65 | I told winetricks to install ALL directx9 versions it had | 05:54 |
| Firestorm65 | did I just break it? | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: no it doesn't | 05:54 |
| XSevenX | gnuskool no this is not fun | 05:54 |
| bsnl | they said the extracted folder containing the contents on the hard drive directory would have run | 05:54 |
| holstein | XSevenX: please stay on topic in here.. this is *not* where to vent.. we are all volunteers here to help | 05:54 |
| penth | Minecraft has no problem. Use openjdk-6-jre | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: i had dwarf fortress running within 2 minutes | 05:54 |
| XSevenX | Ben64 you had the libraries that I didn't | 05:55 |
| XSevenX | DF is now running | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | which took one command to install | 05:55 |
| bsnl | But still thanks dr_willis and knoppies for trying to help earlier | 05:55 |
| penth | tadaa | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | it's not as big of a deal as you make it out to be | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | magically delicious | 05:55 |
| XSevenX | Ben64 you knew the command to get the installation | 05:55 |
| holstein | XSevenX: if you can relax and stay constructive, it will be helpful for the volunteers.. i had no idea you were on 64bit | 05:55 |
| XSevenX | how am I supposed to know a command I've never seen? | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | it says you need 32 bit libraries on the install page | 05:55 |
| holstein | !ot | XSevenX | 05:56 |
| ubottu | XSevenX: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | ive some very poorly done linux ports of many humble/indie games... | 05:56 |
| gnuskool | all is well... | 05:56 |
| Ben64 | instead of coming here and ranting for 10 minutes you could have said "hey I don't think i have 32 bit libraries, how do i get em?" | 05:56 |
| XSevenX | because how would I even know that ben64 | 05:56 |
| Ben64 | the readme... | 05:56 |
| * dr_willis wonders if the game has a forums page | 05:56 | |
| holstein | XSevenX: it says in the readme what you need | 05:56 |
| bsnl | Also the command I had to run to get brainworkshop to run was just python brainworkshop.pyw and nothing else even though they specified more was needed in the command | 05:56 |
| penth | by reading the readme and the wiki. Also, good Google-fu is a friend for life. | 05:57 |
| bsnl | ^ | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: i never saw them specify more. ;) but guess it dosent matter | 05:57 |
| holstein | or asking one of the volunteers to help you read through it.. | 05:57 |
| XSevenX | But why wouldn't these libraries come standard if they are required to run 32-bit programs? That is what I don't understand. | 05:57 |
| gnuskool | bnsl, you were combining the command plus the directory path that comes before it from the other person's pc, after a while you will notice and only nVIGATE TO THE PATH, THEN ONLY TYPE THE COMMAND | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | XSevenX: many people dont need them | 05:58 |
| bsnl | Oh no dr_willis its not you, I just think the directions they wrote didn't match up with what was working for my computer. The commands probably would have worked for a bunch of ppl but this computer is stubborn at times haha | 05:58 |
| penth | Because when you install packages from the repository, you're getting 64-bit versions | 05:58 |
| gnuskool | bnsl, oops CAPS LOCK, my bad | 05:58 |
| penth | and when you compile them yourself, you're creating 64-bit versions. It's rare to need 32-bit libraries on a 54-bit system, and only because you're using precompiled software that wasn't built for 64-bits. | 05:59 |
| bsnl | Right gnuskool but the commands I posted when I was on track were the ones the website gave me and then the commands after that that were suggested by people here | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | about the only 32bit apps i run are games.. and only the humble-bundle/3rd party games | 05:59 |
| bsnl | I just have a weird machine lol | 05:59 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, i suggest do a quick tutorial o command line basics and you'll get it in 5 minutes | 05:59 |
| penth | (Plus, when I need a 32-bit system I usually just create a virtual machine anymore) | 06:00 |
| bsnl | I'm just expressing i'm very happy to have finally found an approach that worked, took me a few hours lol | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: for a 5 min task. ;) | 06:00 |
| XSevenX | penth speaking of "compiling" that is something else I don't understand. I have tried to figure out how to use wine several times, and every guide I find says I need/should enter commands in the terminal after compiling it/to compile it, or something else that I just don't even understand. | 06:00 |
| penth | gj bsnl, and your next go should be smoother | 06:00 |
| gnuskool | bsnl, awesome | 06:00 |
| holstein | !wine | XSevenX | 06:01 |
| ubottu | XSevenX: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | XSevenX: you don't need to compile anything for wine | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | XSevenX: ive never needed to compile for wine.. so no idea what you are reading | 06:01 |
| bsnl | Well dr_willis none of the commands offered here were working on my machine to make the program run, I think it was just some bad luck | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | XSevenX: wine 101, wine /path/to/the/game.exe | 06:01 |
| holstein | XSevenX: you just install it.. though i would look for native applications and enjoy some of what the OS actually maintains for you.. see some of the native polish | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: what i saw was typos on your part. ;) | 06:02 |
| bsnl | And there were also times where I typed them just fine | 06:02 |
| XSevenX | I posted about this in here a couple weeks back: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141&iTestingId=61335 | 06:02 |
| penth | compiling is something you do with source code, nothing to do with wine. Don't worry about it so much, it was just an example of why 32-bit libraries aren't installed by default | 06:02 |
| XSevenX | I'm not even interested in getting it to run anymore | 06:02 |
| holstein | XSevenX: so, should the volunteers here ignore that then? | 06:03 |
| XSevenX | but this is just an example of how I don't understand anything this guide is telling me to do, and I don't understand what it is trying to accomplish | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: every thing i saw was wrong.. but i pop in and out all day.. ;P | 06:03 |
| panorain | dr_willis thank you for the help with my usb earlier | 06:03 |
| bsnl | Everything? But I was pretty much copy/pasting what you gave me after a certain point, why didn't you say anything earlier? | 06:03 |
| XSevenX | I tried rereading the steps for this guide so mmany times, and none of it makes sense to me, I follow them to a point and then I just hit a wall where nothing makes sense. | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | bsnl: you have to be in the right location.. that was the main error i saw | 06:04 |
| XSevenX | and this has been my experience for every time that I've tried to use wine to install anything- mind you I have only attempted to install "Gold" or better rated programs that have next-to 100% functionality | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | 'location, location, location' ;P | 06:05 |
| XSevenX | so I'm baffled when people keep telling me how easy it is to use wine | 06:05 |
| bsnl | It's just the stumbling steps of being new, they'll wear off XSevenX | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | hmm. i just do wine gameinstaller.exe then let it put the icons pn the desktop | 06:05 |
| gnuskool | XSevenX: look n youtube for a wine video, maybe you'll get it visually much easier, because it really dead easy | 06:06 |
| XSevenX | I have tried this gnuskool.. At first I follow along fine, and then everything gets overcomplicated extremely fast | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | double clicking o n the .exes may not work right. since any error messages may get hidden | 06:07 |
| penth | Just never try to run the xp desktop in wine; I flushed a dual-boot partition that way once %) | 06:07 |
| bsnl | dr_willis actually the location turned out to be perfectly fine, the embarrassing truth is I had it in the right place all along. The problem was that I needed the files OUTSIDE of the folder in that location, but the download guide on the site said to keep them in the folder after extraction | 06:08 |
| bsnl | that was pretty much the whole thing in a bottle | 06:08 |
| XSevenX | often redirected to several websites, where I'll need to make installations of various workarounds for something.. and then I have to go to other websites to get files required by the workarounds, and before I know it, I'm supposed to be making a script or something, or typing out 50 lines of code to get something to function | 06:08 |
| XSevenX | I'm scared to even try to get the proper firmware for any of my hardware because it likely isn't compatible with Linux and I'm going to have to have a workaround for any of it. | 06:09 |
| bsnl | needed the files inside the folder moved outside of the folder to be in that location, leaving the empty file behind* | 06:09 |
| bsnl | whoopsy | 06:09 |

| XSevenX | I confirmmed on my previous PC that this problem was caused with the proper firmware not being installed | 06:11 |
| penth | gaming keyboards are, pardon the pun, twitchy | 06:11 |
| penth | I have a G510 with support issues too | 06:11 |
| XSevenX | however Razer does not have a Linuxx version of their software, and so I will be forced to use workarounds, which will no doubt require hours of scripting or something in order to use | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | weird hardware can be weird | 06:11 |
| XSevenX | the entire prospect makes me not even want to bother, and just use my backspace key mmmore | 06:11 |
| penth | Razor is owned by Microsoft. There will be no official Linux drivers. | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | i found a razer control deamon for my razor mouse the other day | 06:12 |

| SunStar | i'd be very surprised if this is actually an ubuntu issue. its an issue with one of your webserver scripts / ftp server / mysql database | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | glad i stick with scp/ssh/sshfs | 06:36 |
| panorain | can you help me with slitaz 4 ? | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | panorain: since its not ubuntu.. not really. check their official support channels? | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | or the #linux channel | 06:36 |
| panorain | dr_willis ok thank you | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | the alias bot can search for a slitaz channel | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | !alis | 06:38 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 06:38 |
| metals | Hi. After installing Ubuntu on my external HDD, it shows this during boot: ata_id 311 hdio_get_identity failed for invalid argument what should I do? | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | metals: is it actually failiong to boot?\ | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | failing | 06:41 |
| metals | It brings up the purple Ubuntu page and then shows this message in a black page and does nothing afterwards | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | im not sure that message is the cause of the issue. I recall seeing the same thing on my working systems. | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | You may want to try the nomodeset option. or the text based options.. to see if it can boot those ways | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 06:42 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 06:42 |
| SunStar | how long did you give it? i've seen ubuntu based systems running from USB take as long as 20 minutes to boot | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. ive ran from normal USB flash drives.. definatly did not take that long. ;) but they are definatly slower then a internal HD. | 06:43 |
| metals | actually, it is a USB 3 external one and I had Kubuntu on it and worked very well | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | perhaps 3 min here from a external usb flash drive | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | Not sure if my system can boot from USB3.. may have to try that this weekend. | 06:45 |
| SunStar | 20 minutes was from a casper system running on a first gen P4 over USB1.1 HDD (single wire for both power & data) | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | usb1 ;) *shudder* | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | and here we are with usb3 - but esata was supposed to take over.. still waiting for that. | 06:46 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest41612 | ||
| === ericab is now known as ericab_away | ||
| === Dawn_ is now known as PrincessDaybreak | ||
| metals | so ya think I have to wait until it comes up? | 06:53 |
| SunStar | no you should do a debug startup and watch the boot process | 06:56 |
| SunStar | also check all the connections. last time i had trouble with a USB HDD, it was missing a pin on the USB adapter | 06:57 |

| kalenjohnson | I just had the xsession-errors shoot up to around 60gb tonight, on my 120gb SSD, so it filled the drive... silly xsessions | 07:07 |
| ero-jiji | stupid question about fschk, normally, when i want to run it, i do : sudo su to get root, then shutdown -rF now. is there a way to make the server automaticly do a fschk any time its rebooted? | 07:07 |
| Curs0r | Oh dear. after an upgrade to 12.04 and a reboot asterisk isn't running at all haha | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | ero-jiji: dont use sudo su. just use sudo -i and yes there is... | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 07:08 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 07:08 |
| Curs0r | or wait, it is it just took longer to start than it used to | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | Curs0r: it had a busy signal? ;) | 07:09 |
| ero-jiji | @dr_willis thanks, still got a bit of learning to do ^^ | 07:09 |

| Curs0r | gnuskool, your advice worked wonderfully. Now my dear asterisk server is not so well with our friend the card or... something. | 07:35 |
| Curs0r | No channels is the cry of asterisk as my software sip client also fails admiraly at nat traversal | 07:36 |
| Curs0r | admirably* | 07:36 |
| subcool | whats the deal with boot-repair? | 07:37 |
| Curs0r | But the modules are indeed loaded nad they do load themselves after a reboot, so yay there. The inevitable however is that asterisk seems most displeased with it | 07:37 |
| apb1963_ | Curs0r: could you wax less poetic and wane more specific? | 07:39 |
| Curs0r | I am not prepared to rule out nat traversal being part of the issue in gaining a dahdi channel as it doesn't stay connected to the hold music longer than 60 seconds | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | please state your questions in the form of a haiku ..... | 07:39 |
| apb1963_ | heh | 07:40 |

| Curs0r | Yes well I'd much rather sleep than deal with this to be sure | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | subcool: no idea. could be server is down or getting updated | 07:41 |

| Curs0r | Well I can call my own sip client extension from it. calling the PTSN with my cell doesn't ring my extension so the dahdi isn't happy | 07:50 |
| clody | dr_willis, lemme check if this works, brb | 07:50 |
| Curs0r | But we knew that so I'm kind of stating the obvious there | 07:50 |
| clody | thanks sinnfluter for now | 07:50 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: do you mean the timezone? or how is it keeping in sync? (like ntp) | 07:51 |
| sinnfluter | how it is keeping the sync | 07:51 |
| sinnfluter | because after setting the time manually with sudo date ... | 07:52 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: do you have ntp and/or ntpd installed? | 07:52 |
| sinnfluter | ntp | 07:52 |
| sinnfluter | ntp is installed and there is a /etc/ntp.conf | 07:52 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: ntpdate should give you the server information | 07:52 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: did you update them after install? what is your concern? | 07:53 |
| sinnfluter | it says no servers can be used | 07:53 |
| AAA | ntpdate <ntpd servername> | 07:53 |
| sinnfluter | ntpdate <ntpd servername> says that the ntp socket is in use | 07:54 |
| VinceThePrince | what is the correct name for "screen docking" I want to enable this is in Ubuntu/Xubuntu | 07:54 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: ntpdate time-a.nist.gov | 07:55 |
| Curs0r | http://pastebin.com/x9jsEa2x is what I get trying to use the dahdi for a dial out | 07:55 |
| sinnfluter | I think this is an issue of the combination VM, Remote Desktop or so | 07:55 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: can you pastebin your ntpd.conf? | 07:55 |
| sinnfluter | I can't use external time servers | 07:55 |
| sinnfluter | but we have an internal one which has the correct time | 07:56 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: so you put a real server in the ntpdate command then? ok | 07:56 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: is it firewalled? | 07:56 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: port 123 normally, can you telnet to that port on the ntpd server? | 07:57 |
| Curs0r | Derp, higher verbosity setting is good for complex problems. man I'm tired lol | 07:57 |
| sinnfluter | http://pastebin.com/3x6T7fpt | 07:57 |
| sinnfluter | @AAA I used a real server | 07:58 |
| gnuskool | Curs0r: pastebin the output of dahdi_cfg -vv | 08:00 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: the fallback one works. I'm guessing you have firewall issues | 08:01 |
| Curs0r | gnuskool, http://pastebin.com/MB5Ctx8b | 08:01 |
| sinnfluter | as I said....I can't use external ntp-servers (so the fallback might not work), but I can use the internal ones | 08:01 |
| sinnfluter | but somehow ntp is not using them...really large offset between the time on ntp servers and my actual time | 08:02 |
| sinnfluter | 2 hours | 08:02 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: how often are the crons running on the client machines? | 08:02 |
| sinnfluter | how to find that out? I've to say I am not very experienced yet... | 08:03 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: each client (computer,host,server) that needs to rely on that time should run a cron (probably from root) that does an ntp update | 08:04 |
| sinnfluter | I am just wondering where I get my weird time from.... | 08:04 |
| Kimera | what is a good high quality cell phone that works with ubuntu well? | 08:05 |
| subcool | dr_willis, ok. i have 2 package that are not fully installed. how do i remove them? - they are causing the error | 08:05 |
| dr_willis | subcool: hmm, not sure - i rarely have to fight with apt errors.. apt-get -f install is a normal way to straighten things out | 08:06 |
| Firestorm65 | Okay, last question for wine I hope. | 08:06 |
| Kimera | what packages? | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | they really need to make up some apt wizard to help repair apt when it gets confused. or give advice | 08:06 |
| Kimera | because I would just uninstall the two packages | 08:07 |
| Firestorm65 | There are some .dll packages that are called by the .exe in a folder within the program tree | 08:07 |
| clody | whats a great vpn service | 08:07 |
| Firestorm65 | How do I add those to wine | 08:07 |
| Firestorm65 | ? | 08:07 |
| Kimera | and basically start over again | 08:07 |
| Kimera | sudo apt-get uninstall and then whatever the packages | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | clody: been using digitalocean here. but its a vps ;) but theres a $10 credit cupon/advert on omgubuntu blog site for them. | 08:08 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: but for testing I could actually fire the ntpdate "servername" command manually | 08:08 |
| subcool | dr_willis, nah i dont wanna install it- it appears to try to install it- and just wont. i rather remove it from the install list | 08:08 |
| subcool | Kimera, thanks- ill try it | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | it might need to get installed.. then removed.. i rarely fight with apt | 08:08 |
| clody | dr_willis, whats difference between vps and vpn ? | 08:08 |
| Kimera | yeah I would also try what dr_willis says | 08:08 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: but that does not work as the ntp socket is in use...what does that mean? | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | clody: i can ssh into my online server and do things. and even setup a web site if i wanted. im running znc on it now. the lowest one is $5 a month. | 08:09 |
| subcool | Kimera, uninstall is not an option | 08:09 |
| subcool | remove? | 08:09 |
| Kimera | well, that is why i recommended the sudo apt-get | 08:09 |
| Kimera | though you could try | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | clody: a vpn connects more then 1 machine to a virtual private network. ;) never really used that. | 08:09 |
| Kimera | sudo apt-get audoremove | 08:09 |
| Kimera | autoremove | 08:09 |
| subcool | trid that- didnt work | 08:09 |
| clody | dr_willis, hows the service ? bandwidthwise ? | 08:10 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: is ntpd running on the machine you are trying to update from another server? | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | clody: all i do is run znc on it. so cant say its been an issue. | 08:10 |
| clody | dr_willis, if I check my gmail using vpn will it think I am logging from different country ? | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | clody: no idea. I dont use vpns | 08:11 |
| clody | okk | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | clody: you could use a ssh tunnle to the vps i imagine. :) if thats what you want | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | or X forwarding.. | 08:11 |
| clody | i want a vpn, maybe max 2 machines will use it | 08:11 |
| clody | my gmail was hacked .....i hate it | 08:12 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: how can I find out if ntpd is running? | 08:12 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: sudo ps aux |grep ntp | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | you might be able to set up openvpn on the thing.. only other thing ive used was btguardian (or btguard?) a year+ ago.. its not what you are looking for howevver. ;) | 08:12 |
| Kimera | subcool, can you find the packages in the software center | 08:12 |
| Kimera | cause if not, ever though about trying to complete the installations | 08:13 |
| clody | dr_willis, what is bitguardin good for ? | 08:13 |
| clody | torrent ? | 08:13 |
| subcool | i just used remove | 08:13 |
| Kimera | because if the packages are in the software center | 08:13 |
| subcool | sorry for the dumb q's - i just dont wanna break it badly | 08:13 |
| Kimera | there are really easy to remove | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | clody: yep. | 08:13 |
| subcool | im recovering from some randomd mess up | 08:14 |
| Kimera | I could help better if I knew what the specific packages were | 08:14 |
| sinnfluter | http://pastebin.com/pn0TsjfC is what I get for ntp-processes | 08:14 |
| subcool | some linux-image-kernel#-gnereic | 08:14 |
| clody | dr_willis, where are the servers ? | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | clody: seems you can set up openvpn on digitalocean.. from what i just googled. | 08:14 |
| subcool | i was trying to install pastebinit- and it requited those packages | 08:14 |
| subcool | and then failed | 08:14 |

| dr_willis | clody: check the digitalocean homepage.. they got some in New York and some others in Europe i belive | 08:14 |
| Kimera | ahh, I wouldn't have had the balls to mess with something like that | 08:15 |
| subcool | hahah - it still errored | 08:15 |
| subcool | this usb need a reflash anyways- :/ | 08:15 |
| Kimera | well my last ditch suggestion | 08:15 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: so it seems that ntpd is running | 08:16 |
| Kimera | is wiping your system completely and reinstalling ubuntu if its causing any major difficulty | 08:16 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: is that one of your private ntpd servers? | 08:16 |
| sinnfluter | yeas | 08:16 |
| Kimera | cayse it sounds like, you went into some higher terminal functions then I ever mess with | 08:16 |
| sinnfluter | yes | 08:16 |
| subcool | haha- Kimera already on it- i just reinstall 12.04 because my networking got fungled somehow | 08:16 |
| default | #3333333333 | 08:16 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: is the time wrong there? | 08:16 |
| Kimera | then again I don't do networking | 08:17 |
| sinnfluter | its called ntp | 08:17 |
| Kimera | I use ubuntu cause I like it more then apple or microsoft | 08:17 |
| subcool | Kimera, same- im trying ot keep on it- but some stuff just doesnt work | 08:17 |
| subcool | once i setup my laptops up- ill be setting up a mac on one. | 08:18 |
| clody | dr_willis, thanks lemme check | 08:18 |
| subcool | but- im running into way to many issues | 08:18 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: I don't think that the time is wrong at the server "ntp"...but how can I just read that time? | 08:18 |
| Kimera | like with installation, or modificiation? | 08:18 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: with date? I'm not sure what you mean | 08:19 |
| _ingsoc | Hello, I was wondering where I could find Ubuntu's freetype2 patches? Are they hosted somewhere? | 08:20 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: no I want to read the time of our internal ntp server to see if this is correct | 08:20 |
| _ingsoc | I know there are the Infinality patches, but I want to try the Ubuntu equivalent. | 08:20 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: with date I get the time of my machine | 08:20 |
| Kimera | freetype2 | 08:21 |
| Kimera | ain't that the microsoft fonts for office | 08:21 |
| _ingsoc | No, I'm referring to the patches for this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/+source/freetype that Ubuntu uses. | 08:22 |
| subcool | its still complaining about closing package managers. :/ | 08:23 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: ntpdate -q <time server> should tell you | 08:24 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: the -q is 'query only' | 08:24 |
| subcool | how the heck is a package manager effecting a boot-repair program | 08:25 |
| apb1963_ | Curs0r: pastebin chan_dahdi.conf | 08:25 |
| Firestorm65 | Can someone walk me through how to fix a program's local .dll failing to load for wine? | 08:25 |
| Curs0r | /etc/dahdi/system.conf had some wrongness to it I just fixed hehe | 08:26 |
| apb1963_ | double entries perhaps? | 08:26 |
| sinnfluter | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5589803/ | 08:26 |
| sinnfluter | so there is a large offset... | 08:26 |
| Curs0r | It was completely wrong, erroneous lines, and wrong numbering | 08:26 |
| apb1963_ | that doesn't help much | 08:27 |
| llutz | sinnfluter: are you sure your timezone is set correctly? | 08:27 |
| apb1963_ | better now? | 08:27 |
| Curs0r | Now on to the file you requested, 1 sec | 08:27 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: if you run it without the '-q' is doesn't work? | 08:27 |
| apb1963_ | best to test and show output first... hard to imagine you're getting the same error | 08:28 |
| sinnfluter | if I run it without the q it says that the NTP socket is in use | 08:28 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: if this isn't a production server, I'd say do this | 08:28 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: /etc/init.d/ntpd stop && ntpdate <local ntpd sever> && /etc/init.d/ntpd start | 08:29 |
| Curs0r | chan_dahdi is riddled with example crap and is too big for me to copy the entire contents via ssh/nano it seems | 08:29 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: and then make sure ntpd is running (ps aux|grep ntp) | 08:30 |
| apb1963_ | Curs0r: nobody wants to see example crap... weed it out | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | copy via nano? err.. use scp | 08:30 |
| apb1963_ | if you want to keep it, make a copy for posterity | 08:30 |
| Curs0r | Ok, that is going to take me a bit. It's a horrible lot of bloat here lol | 08:30 |
| apb1963_ | then weed it | 08:30 |
| dr_willis | with extreme prejudice | 08:31 |
| apb1963_ | May I suggest sed? | 08:31 |
| VinceThePrince | If I show my specs Can anyone say if I have enough resources to run an Virtual Windows XP in Ubuntu 12.04? | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | VinceThePrince: it dosent take a lot to do xp in vbox. | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | VinceThePrince: ram seems to be the limiting factor in many cases | 08:32 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: what I get: sudo /etc/init.d/ntpd stop && ntpdate ntp && /etc/init.d/ntpd start sudo: /etc/init.d/ntpd: command not found | 08:32 |
| bleomycin | anyone know how to blacklist the module for spdif for intel? i seem to be suffering from this problem but can't figure out the module to blacklist? http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Intel_Linux_Modifications_for_HD_Audio#Intel_Systems_with_both_SPDIF_.26_HDMI | 08:32 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: maybe the daemon is just called ntp, or something similar. look around | 08:33 |
| === Ricas is now known as RIcaz | ||

| VinceThePrince | dr_willis, 4 GB RAM and core i5 should run an XP fine right? | 08:36 |
| VinceThePrince | dr_willis, I don't know what load it takes on Ubuntu | 08:36 |
| l057c0d3r | VinceThePrince, that should be fine.. | 08:36 |
| _ingsoc | bleomycin: Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wouldno't you iec958 if it's available through grep? | 08:36 |
| AAA | sinnfluter: cool. is date giving you the proper time now? | 08:36 |
| _ingsoc | wouldn't* | 08:36 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: I was able to stop it...and when I run your command step by step | 08:37 |
| apb1963_ | Curs0r: try sed '/^#/ d' | 08:37 |
| l057c0d3r | VinceThePrince, you can select how much ram to dedicate to the virtual box ext during setup of it.. but with 4gb or ram you should be fine.. really all depends on what you are trying to use it for..... but i've ran one with less | 08:37 |
| sinnfluter | AAA: ...and when I run sudo ntpdate ntp: 6 Mar 09:35:37 ntpdate[4594]: step time server 62.141.187.4 offset -5514.036578 sec | 08:37 |
| bleomycin | _ingsoc: it shows up through the aplay grep command, but not in lsmod which is confusing | 08:37 |
| sinnfluter | and the time hasn'T changed...the offset is probably to large | 08:38 |
| _ingsoc | bleomycin: Hmm, same for me. | 08:38 |

| Es0teric | ok so i made a new user account, with password and when i try to run source command i get this: -sh: source: not found | 08:39 |
| Es0teric | why is that? | 08:39 |
| Es0teric | i made the new user account via ssh | 08:40 |
| l057c0d3r | Es0teric, groups maybe? | 08:40 |
| Es0teric | what do you mean? | 08:40 |
| l057c0d3r | oh wait.. | 08:40 |
| AAA | Es0teric: what is your path? echo $PATH (as that user) | 08:40 |
| llutz | Es0teric: source is a bash-builtin, you seem to use dash | 08:40 |
| === user is now known as user1 | ||
| l057c0d3r | if you are in the directory of the source have youj tried ./"flie" | 08:40 |
| praka | k | 08:41 |
| llutz | Es0teric: getent passwd <username> does your new user have bash as login-shell? | 08:41 |
| Es0teric | this is my $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 08:41 |
| llutz | Es0teric: source is a bash-builtin, you seem to use dash | 08:41 |
| Es0teric | ok ok how do i check if the user has bash as login shell? | 08:41 |
| llutz | i just showed you | 08:42 |
| AAA | or grep <user> /etc/passwd | 08:42 |
| llutz | which will fail with ldap etc | 08:42 |
| AAA | true | 08:42 |
| Es0teric | llutz -> jude:x:1003:27::/home/jude:/bin/sh | 08:42 |
| llutz | Es0teric: dash, not bash "sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username" | 08:42 |
| llutz | Es0teric: then relogin | 08:43 |
| Es0teric | there we go | 08:43 |
| Es0teric | thanks, llutz | 08:43 |
| Es0teric | now i have to do that same thing for 3 other users | 08:43 |
| Es0teric | =_= | 08:43 |
| llutz | Es0teric: next time you'd use "adduser" not useradd to add users | 08:44 |
| Es0teric | ah i see, llutz | 08:44 |
| llutz | Es0teric: just a wrapperscript, but preventing this issue | 08:44 |
| dr_willis | !info lm-sensors | 08:47 |
| ubottu | lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.3.1-2ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 98 kB, installed size 395 kB | 08:47 |
| AAA | llutz: wouldn't changing the shabang to #!/bin/bash done the same thing? | 08:47 |
| l057c0d3r | dr_willis, heh its odd you would info that... | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | heh - text was scrolled up.. answered a question from 6+ hrs ago | 08:47 |
| llutz | AAA: for every script you ever run? yes | 08:47 |
| l057c0d3r | i installed that for my system monitor.. but the monitor is still telling me i need to install it :-p | 08:47 |
| dr_willis | silly android irc client likes to go to the top of the buffer when i come back to it | 08:48 |
| l057c0d3r | just decided i didn't need the fan speed.. since i have temp and everything else im worried about | 08:48 |
| llutz | AAA: but the source command wouldn't do anyways, because it is shell-builtin from bash | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | l057c0d3r: you ran the sensor-detect tool? | 08:48 |
| AAA | llutz: my point was, wouldn't that be the long ther solution for this issue? | 08:48 |
| l057c0d3r | dr_willis, nope.. but i will now :-p | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | or was it sensors-detect | 08:48 |
| AAA | llutz: I see | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | its a wizard thing that scans and loads modules you may need loaded l057c0d3r | 08:49 |
| llutz | AAA: imo its better to set users shell to bash. dash is fine for system-tasks, but user... not really | 08:49 |
| === pipopopo_ is now known as pipopopo | ||
| l057c0d3r | bah.. at the end it said no sensors found | 08:51 |
| l057c0d3r | heh oh well | 08:51 |
| l057c0d3r | i can live without fan speed | 08:51 |
| dr_willis | could be theres no sensor on the fan | 08:51 |
| l057c0d3r | not sure what changed.. but after the last set of updates i installed.. my system has been running at 35c rather then 50c | 08:52 |
| l057c0d3r | wonder what was fixed :-p | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | the numbering of the temps.. ;) | 08:52 |
| l057c0d3r | ha | 08:53 |
| llutz | AAA: it would be easy to circumvent that problem, if the useradd-default wouldn't still be set to /bin/sh while they changed /bin/sh into a link to /bin/dash (/bin/bash before) "grep SHELL /etc/default/useradd" | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | if i recall right. the sensor apps get some sort of raw data from the sensors.. then has to convert it to the actual temp. sometimes its wrong in converting | 08:53 |
| VinceThePrince | da hell I can't paste screenshots into libreoffice what is this magic :( | 08:53 |
| l057c0d3r | makes sense | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | i thought sh was a link to dash | 08:53 |
| llutz | dr_willis: it is and thats causing the problem when using useradd | 08:54 |
| sinnfluter_ | AAA: hi...am back on another machine, but with ssh to my machine with the time problem | 08:54 |
| llutz | dr_willis: "historical" it has been linked to /bin/bash | 08:54 |
| AAA | llutz: yeah, I forget about shit like that. I mainly deal with private repos for that stuff | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | so the issue is useradd is using sh then? :) | 08:54 |
| llutz | dr_willis: yes | 08:54 |
| llutz | and people use useradd without "-s /bin/bash" | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | friends dont let friends use useradd. ;-) | 08:56 |
| llutz | friends don't ask friends before they use useradd | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | i cant recall ever using useradd.. always adduser. | 08:57 |
| sinnfluter_ | AAA: I think i'm getting closer to the problem with hwclock as you said... I have to find out more about the hwclock command in a virtual machine | 08:58 |
| llutz | i'm not sure what the gui-app uses as default-shell when creating a new useraccount... but nobody should use that anyways | 08:58 |
| kepler | i used useradd before, it was a travesty and i forever couldn't remember which was the good one or bad one, so each time i add a user, i use useradd and hate myself then adduser | 08:58 |
| tasslehoff | When I do apt-get update on my T530@12.10, stuff gets unresponsive. Today dmesg threw some I/O errors, and my entire filesystem was suddenly readonly. Any know issues with 12.10/T530/SSD/Write? | 08:58 |

| bubba_ray | Hey guys, how can i best notify a user of a 12.04 graphical mode that he needs to do a reboot? Just touching /var/run/reboot-required does not do the trick | 09:16 |
| kepler | cat /dev/urandom | write <user> <tty> | 09:17 |
| suore | Hello :0 | 09:18 |
| suore | I've some questions | 09:18 |
| kepler | he'll reboot if he gets that cropping up somewhere | 09:18 |
| suore | Linux is officialy the PC?. | 09:18 |
| kepler | or you can wall | 09:18 |
| IzzoDizzo | suore ? | 09:18 |
| kepler | his notification manager should pick that up | 09:18 |
| suore | Mac is Mac..., Windows is PC, Linux also is PC? | 09:18 |
| IzzoDizzo | mac is PC too really, personall computer | 09:19 |
| kepler | bubba_ray: just verified it works. use "wall" type "You need to reboot!" then ctrl+d | 09:19 |
| kepler | may need to sudo wall | 09:19 |
| bubba_ray | Oh! i did not know about wall. Ill have a look. Thnx! :) | 09:20 |
| suore | IF mac is PC , why in box is written "For PC/Mac computers"?? | 09:20 |
| === ewook_ is now known as ewook | ||
| kepler | suore: just marketing | 09:20 |
| bono | man shutdown: -k Only send out the warning messages and disable logins, do not actually bring the system down | 09:20 |
| kepler | nothing else | 09:20 |
| suore | so Linux also is PC? right? | 09:20 |
| hector | I'm checking if samsung tools and samsung backlight are properly installed on my pc | 09:20 |
| jony | how can I low-level format an USB stick? | 09:20 |
| kepler | linux is a kernel for an operating system | 09:20 |
| k1l | suore: you got it wrong. that is from the old days when mac used other hardware | 09:20 |
| IzzoDizzo | suore: linux can be run on a PC too yes | 09:21 |
| somsip | IzzoDizzo: mac is not PC. PC is an old term dating back to IBM PC-AT (AFAIR). As in 'PC-AT compatible' | 09:21 |
| kepler | jony: dd | 09:21 |
| dr_willis | jony: ive only ever needed to use 'dd' to zero out a usb stick. then repartion it | 09:21 |
| suore | k1l, aaah okay :) thanks | 09:21 |
| IzzoDizzo | somsip: i think most days people use PC as personal computer now? | 09:21 |
| jony | how can I lunch it? | 09:21 |
| l057c0d3r | suore, if its a software package.. or a game.. they are refering to windows when they say pc.. and mac when they say mac... however they are all pc's and linux can run most windows software with wine... | 09:21 |
| llutz | somsip: earlier, pc-XT :) | 09:21 |
| ewook | The destinction of mac as not a PC, is.. incorrect. Even when it was powerpc. The term PC relates even to the Mac segment. | 09:22 |
| kepler | jony: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<drive> bs=1M | 09:22 |
| bubba_ray | kepler: however.... wall only looks like it will dump the message in a terminal. I would really like to push it to several users and via the graphical interface (i thought that reboot-required should lit up the top bar with a red power off icon, but no.) | 09:22 |
| suore | wine wine.... native is better :D | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | jony: you may want to use gparted instead | 09:22 |
| kepler | bubba_ray: it showed up in my notification center when i did it | 09:22 |
| somsip | llutz: ah - forgot. AFAIR didn't remember far back enough :) | 09:22 |
| jony | how can I scan the available devices? | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | !blkid | 09:22 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 09:22 |
| bubba_ray | Kepler: Ok, ill have another look, thnx | 09:23 |
| kepler | bubba_ray: i have a little blue circle telling me there is a message, and when i click it, it is the walled message | 09:23 |
| l057c0d3r | suore, well on the bright side.. steam is migrating a lot of stuff over | 09:23 |
| somsip | IzzoDizzo: they may use it that way, but though a Mac is a personal computer, it is not a PC. Enough semantics. OT | 09:23 |
| bubba_ray | kepler: ok, i didnt get that. | 09:23 |
| suore | l057c0d3r, i know, a've all linux games from steam :0 | 09:23 |
| suore | all works perfect | 09:23 |
| kepler | bubba_ray: im on kubuntu, so that may be why | 09:23 |
| suore | some works faster than my Windows XP | 09:23 |

| hector | this seems to be promising :) | 09:26 |
| kepler | jony: i think the activity LED can act independently of the actual disks -- the 3 blinks may even be an indicator of error | 09:26 |

| hector | yes, hopefully :) I found this voria site: http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=296 | 09:26 |
| hector | it seems to promise a solutionb | 09:26 |
| hector | solution* | 09:26 |
| l057c0d3r | suore.. u sure its the language they want.. or the location.. | 09:27 |
| suore | no location | 09:27 |
| suore | because i change language in loginscreen | 09:27 |
| suore | and i normay registred | 09:27 |
| suore | normal | 09:27 |
| hector | but my modem is a bit slow, so it takes a while with update-upgrade | 09:27 |

| guest123 | hi .. is there a list where i can see backports of 12.10 that can be used on 12.04 | 09:28 |
| suore | with date working | 09:28 |
| suore | what i do bad? | 09:28 |
| l057c0d3r | well you changed the time.. not the language | 09:29 |
| wh1t3l10n | Kartagis: I can see the VPN option in "Network Connections." Is there any free service? | 09:29 |
| k1l | suore: lc_time is just the time setting | 09:29 |
| ronillon | Hello, any way to prevent opening USB stick in file manager after it is plugged in? | 09:30 |
| suore | ahh i think LC_TIME is time as temporaly option | 09:30 |
| l057c0d3r | ronillon.. not sure what it would be in unity.. | 09:30 |
| l057c0d3r | but | 09:30 |
| ronillon | that is the thing with stupid unity thing | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | i recall some tweak setting for that.. but never really looked into it | 09:31 |
| l057c0d3r | look into ubuntu tweak.. | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | I thought you could select 'do nothing' when one got inserted | 09:31 |
| l057c0d3r | will probably have to add a ppa for it | 09:31 |
| k1l | suore: use : LC_ALL= ... for that use | 09:31 |
| ronillon | dr_willis: maybe for the first time | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | for ubuntu-tweak you can download its deb and it will add its own ppa | 09:31 |
| l057c0d3r | they have options under tweaks / file manager for automatically open a folder on mount | 09:31 |
| suore | okay :) | 09:31 |

| ronillon | i guess i will just manage untill i get rid of unity | 09:32 |
| ronillon | but thanks | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | boo hoo.. mean old unity. ;P | 09:32 |
| l057c0d3r | ronillon open your file manager and check in the properties / settings of it.. might be something in there | 09:32 |
| l057c0d3r | or look around system settings.. but ubuntu tweak is what i used to change it | 09:32 |
| ronillon | checked that, no options regarding media | 09:33 |
| l057c0d3r | ubuntu tweak is easy to get... and can easily fix that | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | if theres a fstab entry for the device. i think it gets ignored via the automount stuff also | 09:33 |
| l057c0d3r | wait wait... i found another thing | 09:34 |
| l057c0d3r | does unity have the system settings ap | 09:34 |
| l057c0d3r | err app | 09:34 |
| ronillon | that would not help, i want it to be automounted, i just do not want to open it in nautilus, since im using doublecommander | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | all the settings are under the system--settings main window i thought | 09:34 |
| l057c0d3r | i run gnome-shell so guessing here | 09:34 |
| l057c0d3r | i found that in system-settings window.. if you click details | 09:35 |
| l057c0d3r | there is a removable media category... | 09:35 |
| l057c0d3r | and it has the options you are asking about | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | i belive you can set the default mimetype for 'folder' to be double commander or whatever.. and it may auto open in that instead | 09:35 |
| ronillon | thx a lot l057c0.." | 09:35 |
| l057c0d3r | that is in the detail's part of the system settings as well.. default applications | 09:36 |

| dr_willis | alku: so what type of modem is it? dsl? cable? dialup? | 09:36 |
| l057c0d3r | ronillon.. again.. if all the settings in details dont work.... you should check out ubuntu tweak... it has that exact option... | 09:37 |
| ronillon | l057c0d3r: thx a lot man | 09:37 |
| l057c0d3r | to mount only... | 09:37 |
| alku | dr_willis: thanks for supporting. as far as i know it is a dialup modem | 09:38 |

| killer | Extreme: thanx i will give it a try | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | LiquidEssence: most terminal emulators have a simuuler option to the -e executething option | 10:01 |
| LiquidEssence | dr_willis: ok I'll try that. But if I would like to have a xce4-terminal that would have a title of the program in it (xfce4-terminal -T "VLC") and then run the application, would I need to write a script for that? | 10:02 |

| tehfox | hi there, I installed exim4 on Ubuntu 12.10 and configured it to send mail to a smarthost (dc_eximconfig_configtype='satellite' -- I basically copied configuration from my working config in my previous Ubuntu 11.04 installation). However, whenever I try to send a mail, I get following warning (in console when sending using mail <emailaddress>, or when starting the MTA: WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/thefox/keyring-Ft4Yfu/pkcs11: Per | 10:04 |
| tehfox | Why does it try to access the gnome-keyring and how can I disable it? I found this forum question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2097530 but ignoring the warning isn't quite what I'm looking for. | 10:05 |

| Tom____ | hello @ all | 10:07 |
| jatakk | Does anyone here use openbox? | 10:08 |

| Tom____ | can i install libusb.dev on ubuntu 12.10? i cannot find the package! | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | !find libusb | 10:09 |
| ubottu | Found: libusb++-0.1-4c2, libusb++-dev, libusb-0.1-4, libusb-1.0-0, libusb-1.0-0-dev, libusb-dev, libusbmuxd-dev, libusbmuxd2, libusbmuxd2-dbg, libusb-java (and 19 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libusb&searchon=names&suite=quantal§ion=all | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | !info libusb-dev | 10:09 |
| ubottu | libusb-dev (source: libusb): userspace USB programming library development files. In component main, is optional. Version 2:0.1.12-23 (quantal), package size 33 kB, installed size 233 kB | 10:09 |
| jatakk | Alright, well what is a good panel to use with openbox? | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install libusb-dev | 10:10 |

| lantizia | *What channel* do I use to talk about Unity (or rather 1 of likely a million problems with it) | 10:12 |
| Extreme | lantizia: this one? | 10:12 |
| jatakk | If it's just a rant about how horrible Unity is, then you might as well save it. | 10:13 |
| lantizia | OK well with GNOME it was sufficient to simply place a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications and it'd show up in the menu... I've tested the same on precise and quantal with Unity and Unity has no idea of my entry | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | apt-cache search panel may show some alternatives to panel | 10:13 |
| lantizia | No - I have a specific question... read it rather than guessing what kind of person I am | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | lantizia: that should also work with unity. It may be the menus havent gotten refreshed | 10:13 |
| jatakk | Yeah that should work with Unity, works for me anyway. | 10:14 |
| lantizia | dr_willis, is there a way to force a refresh... I've duplicated this problem on many different machines both 12.04 and 12.10 | 10:14 |
| lantizia | Does it matter that I had to mkdir ~/.local/share/applications first | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | desktop files CAN contain an entry to only show in specific desktop enviroments.. like showonly in kde' or only in gnome | 10:14 |
| lantizia | Could perhaps Unity not be watching that folder as it didn't exist upon first log in? | 10:14 |
| dr_willis | theres quite a few cases ive seen where unity and gnome3 have to get restarteed to see changes take effect | 10:15 |
| lantizia | well even if I make a .desktop in /usr/share/applications - it still doesn't show up | 10:16 |
| lantizia | ah no - it has now... just a bit slow | 10:17 |
| lantizia | so I guess it's just not working with ~/.local/share/applications unless that directory existed upon first login for it to watch | 10:17 |

| ikonia | mojtaba: it sounds like it's the auto mounter, nothing to do with the hard disk | 11:36 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: you can unmount it and run fsck /dev/sdb1 against it | 11:36 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: could you please let me how can I do that? I am pretty new to linux. :-P | 11:36 |
| ikonia | (sudo) | 11:36 |
| raddy_ | ikonia : is it really a dvd iso? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | raddy_: your CD is 750mb.....the image is 753mb.,... | 11:36 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: should I run umount /dev/sdb1 ? | 11:37 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: %100 | 11:37 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: never fsck a mounted disk | 11:37 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: umount /your /file/system | 11:38 |
| SAngeli | php, sendmail, SMTP. To wich one would postfix comply? | 11:38 |
| ikonia | SAngeli: what ? | 11:38 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, I need to understand a concept with regards to mail in my ubuntu server. From CMS Joomla, as an example, I can setup the server to use eithr php, sendmail or SMTP. I know that postfix is the default MTA for ubuntu. if I install postfix, to which of the listing woudl apply? SMTP or sendmail? | 11:39 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: should I run fsck with sudo priviledge? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | SAngeli: postfix is an MTA (so from your point of view, it's an SMTP) | 11:39 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: yes | 11:39 |
| raddy_ | ikonia : the image actually 763 mb, is it burnable in dvd ? | 11:39 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, I have to install a MTA but if I have only these three choices from Joomla Admin what do I have to do? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | raddy_: yes | 11:39 |
| ikonia | SAngeli: postfix is a standard mta on ubuntu | 11:40 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: the output is: fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 | 11:40 |
| mojtaba | e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012) | 11:40 |

| mojtaba | Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes | 11:40 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: let it run | 11:40 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, I know this. let me ask to joomla channel. | 11:40 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: will it fix the hard drive automatically? or should I do something after that? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: it should try to resolve any file system problems | 11:41 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: it may prompt you for a "y/n" response on occasion | 11:41 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: will I miss any file? | 11:42 |
| gp5st | sorry, i know this isn't ubuntu specific, but I wasn't sure where else to ask. Is there a way to provide more than a single certificate chain during SSL negotiation? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | SAngeli: I don't understand what you are asking | 11:42 |
| ikonia | SAngeli: postfix is an MTA - so from your question it is an SMTP interface | 11:42 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, one sec I will explain better | 11:42 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: don't know yet | 11:42 |
| ikonia | gp5st: depends what application you are using, try #openssl | 11:42 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: Do you know how long does it take time? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: 1TB file system - good few minutes, 10 - 15 - 20 minutes, hard to tell | 11:43 |
| gp5st | i'll give it a shot ikonia, thanks | 11:43 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: depends on the problem, size of the disk, speed of the disk etc | 11:43 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: I really thank you for your help. | 11:43 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: it's fine, that's what we are here for | 11:43 |
| ikonia | I need to step out for a short while | 11:43 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, I need to understand a concept with regards to mail in my ubuntu server. From CMS Joomla, as an example, I can setup the server to use eithr php, sendmail or SMTP. I know that postfix is the default MTA for ubuntu but I do not know if I can use it or not. Here is a screenshot of what I talk about: http://i.imgur.com/l7pqG2X.png | 11:48 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, I need to understand if eventually I would choose postfix (wich i wish to) if I will be unable later on to run my CMS applications. The system would need to be configured as smart host as my server is at home and this is only for testin and learning | 11:50 |
| SAngeli | ikonia, not for smap or similar usage as I will be using my own ISP provider for the SMTP validation | 11:50 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: I got this: Error reading block 22216707 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore error<y>? | 11:51 |
| mojtaba | what should I do? | 11:52 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: Please help | 11:53 |

| dr_willis | using twinview on my nividia card here. and thats how i do it | 12:24 |
| JuJuBee | Yes, that does work, but it works as expected with kde just not unity. | 12:24 |

| DikkieB | hello everyone I have a question. I recently got a cheap Toshiba satellite laptop. I turned Secure boot off, but when I put in a USB with Lubuntu and a DVD of it in at seperate times, instead of showing the usual Lubuntu menu, it went to the GRUB loader of it. When I selected "try ubuntu" the screen went black, and nothing happened. I probably waiting about 20 to 30 minutes each time. On one occasion I selected "check disc for defects" and it did the | 12:26 |
| DikkieB | exact same thing. Is there anyway to fix this, or will I have to install Lubuntu from windows? | 12:26 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: that does not work here... Wait... if the original window is smaller than the resolution of the secondary, it does work, but if it is larger, it goes full screen on primary | 12:26 |
| ivotkl | DikkieB, you should try nomodeset or failsafe graphics mode. | 12:27 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: primary is 1920x1280 and secondary is 1280x1024 | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | ive noticed it seems to depens on what % of the window is on each monitor | 12:27 |
| ivotkl | BRB | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | if most of it is on monitor 1 - it goes to monitor 1 | 12:27 |
| DikkieB | ivotkl: alright, I'll see if i can't find those settings | 12:27 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: that seems to be the case here. Too bad, works great with kde no matter which monitor I drag it to. | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | i never really have an issue with it.. never really pay much attention to it. ;) | 12:28 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: do you know how to have 2 different launcher bars in unity or if it is possible and even 2 different desktop backgrounds... | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | i dont use kde either. | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | use a big WIDE wallpaper stitched from 2 smaller ones. ;P | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | you dont have 2 differnt launchers. if you want that you could use some docks i guess | 12:29 |
| DikkieB | ivotkl: Also Im really not surprised, my laptop has an ATI card... | 12:29 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: I am having issues with kde lately with crash notifications since upgrade to 12.10 | 12:29 |
| ivotkl | DikkieB: If boot menu is the same as in Ubuntu, you should be able to press F6 and the command line with the booting sequence would appear. | 12:29 |
| ivotkl | DikkieB, at the end you should type nomodeset | 12:29 |
| ivotkl | and then enter if that's the one you need to press for executing the command. | 12:29 |
| MiltonWayne | hey | 12:30 |
| DikkieB | ivotkl: Thankyou! I wasn't quite sure since it went to GRUB instead... let me go do that | 12:30 |
| MiltonWayne | can someone explain why i cant install an 64bit system from 32bit livecd? | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | MiltonWayne, no 64 bit livecd? no 64 bit install | 12:31 |
| JuJuBee | dr_willis: also, when using kde, if I lock my screen at night when I go home, the next day when I come back and log in, the login box image stays on my screen even though I am logged in and working fine. seems like a ghost image and cannot click anything on it. | 12:31 |
| MiltonWayne | cfhowlett, yeah but why | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | MiltonWayne, um, because you don't have the correct ISO! If you want 64 bit, GET 64 bit! | 12:32 |
| Squarepy | easy cfhowlett | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | Squarepy, meant to give the link to 64, so that came out more snippy than intended. apologies to miltonwayne and everyone ... | 12:34 |

| t0th_- | when start my gdm, is stop in the first screen of X , can help me? | 12:36 |
| DikkieB | ivotkl: Im sorry, I read you wrong. No, it doesn't boot to any menu similar to ubuntu, it just goes to grub and has the typical install options for ubuntu with no extra settings other than e to edit (which im guessing I'll have to do somehow) and c for command line, and nomodeset isn't a command grub recognizes. | 12:36 |
| shutter_ | welcome to ubuntu | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | t0th_-: clarify what you mean | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | nomodeset is NOT a command.. its an option you add to the kernel line. After you hit 'e' to edit | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | e)dit -> change the line to look like 'quiet nomodeset splash' | 12:40 |
| ivotkl | DikkieB: Do you have system installed already? If so, press e, then on line that says --quietsplash type nomodeset. | 12:40 |

| ivotkl | That's it. Thanks dr_willis for the reminder. =) | 12:41 |
| Ice_Strike | I am new to Ubunto and where is the taskbar to switch windows? | 12:41 |

| ivotkl | Ice_Strike, it should be on the bottom... | 12:41 |
| DikkieB | dr_willis: ivotkl: Ah, sorry about that... also no its not already installed. Let me try that now | 12:41 |
| Ice_Strike | I am sure I have seen old Ubunto that taskbar appear at the bottom like on Windows. | 12:42 |

| ivotkl | Ohhhhhhhhh, he's using unity... | 12:45 |
| JuJuBee | ivotkl: I am assuming since he seems to be just starting out | 12:45 |
| autoditac | the docking station works, though and both the card and the switch show that link layer is uo | 12:45 |
| ivotkl | I have classic gnome installed, forgot about it. My mystake. | 12:45 |
| Ice_Strike | JuJuBee So I guess Ubunu have changed since then? So how do you access multiple windows | 12:45 |
| autoditac | s/uo/up | 12:45 |
| ivotkl | JuJuBee: You're right. | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | autoditac, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 12:46 |
| autoditac | cfhowlett, thanks | 12:46 |
| JuJuBee | Ice_Strike: what do you mean access multiple windows? Alt-Tab is an application switcher or {windowskey}+W will tile your apps so you can switch | 12:46 |
| Ice_Strike | JuJuBee I meant I want to see all running application like on the taskbar without pressing Alt-Tab | 12:47 |
| ivotkl | Ice_Strike: you should see them on Unity bar on the bottom of it. | 12:48 |
| JuJuBee | Ice_Strike: the launcher bar shows which apps are open with a little triangle next to it. Also, http://askubuntu.com/questions/77216/how-to-have-the-taskbar-with-unity-at-the-same-time | 12:48 |

| iceroot | N1ck1: with your backup | 12:57 |

| iceroot | N1ck1: for the future you can enable a trash on samba | 12:58 |

| iceroot | r3d: of course there are ways to recover lost files, backup, enabled trash, snapshots | 13:01 |
| iceroot | r3d: but they have to be enabled before you delete them | 13:01 |
| r3d | I'm sorry, I don't mean to be an ass - but no, if you haven't enabled some kind of back-up for deleted files via SMB it's gone - or you can analyse the filesystem and see if there's anything to recover | 13:01 |
| iceroot | r3d: things we already said | 13:01 |
| r3d | iceroot -> agreeing. | 13:01 |
| r3d | Also, no-one enables any kind of backup on SMB because deletion then means copying the file elsewhere, so if you delete 12GB of stuff, you have to COPY 12GB of stuff for it to "delete" | 13:03 |

| iceroot | Anoniman86: "beta" | 13:19 |
| iceroot | Anoniman86: or are the 13.1 the stable ones? | 13:19 |
| r3d | That's a steam issue | 13:19 |
| r3d | Or a driver issue, okay | 13:19 |
| Anoniman86 | yes, i uses 13.1, same issue | 13:19 |
| Anoniman86 | :((( | 13:19 |
| r3d | But either way - it's out of your hands | 13:19 |
| Anoniman86 | used* | 13:20 |
| iceroot | Anoniman86: did you check the system-load after you closed steam? | 13:20 |
| iceroot | Anoniman86: is it higher then without starting steam first? | 13:20 |
| r3d | Try a different display manager if you're feeling brave | 13:20 |
| iceroot | r3d: that is not useful | 13:20 |
| Anoniman86 | yes, is the same after reboot | 13:20 |
| r3d | I think it is helpful. | 13:20 |
| iceroot | Anoniman86: to the first run of steam is always fine | 13:21 |
| Anoniman86 | yes, yes!!!! | 13:21 |
| r3d | I'm not saying try a different driver, I'm saying try Unity 2D and see if the problem still occurs, or install gnome-shell and see if the problem still occurs | 13:21 |
| Anoniman86 | same problem is on 12.04 lts and 12.10 | 13:22 |
| r3d | It's somewhere in the display driver stack, using a different display manager might help to identify it. Or not. | 13:22 |
| Anoniman86 | I think that Nvidia is better for linux | 13:23 |
| r3d | Nvidia works a lot better than ATI/AMD on Linux in my experience - so I go with Nvidia cards. | 13:23 |

| r3d | But saying that, I run LMDE with a liquorix kernel and I get my drivers through smxi | 13:24 |
| Anoniman86 | Yes, but it is very hard to install the latest nvidia driver whois downloaded from nvidia site manualy | 13:25 |
| r3d | If any of you have only used Ubuntu and are wondering about LMDE and smxi - the quick explanation is that Debian is the distro that Ubuntu uses as a base, and LMDE is just an offshoot of Debian with some different tweaks. And as that doesn't keep compatibility with Ubuntu, you tend to use a lovely suite of scripts to install drivers called smxi. | 13:30 |

| e-dard | Is it simple enough to turn something into an upstart service? I'm using a python worker/queue product (rq) and the workers sit in the foreground waiting for jobs. Would be good to turn into a service | 15:39 |
| e-dard | Basically you start a worker with $ rqworker and it sits there. Would be good to benefit from restarting the process etc if it crashes, and not having it sit in foreground | 15:41 |

| jrib | !virus | c_randomnick | 16:20 |

| jrib | !firewall | c_randomnick | 16:20 |

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 16:20 |

| jrib | Juanito_Fulencia: pastebin | 17:09 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | jrib: What do you want pasted? The apt-get output? | 17:10 |
| jrib | Juanito_Fulencia: input and output, yes | 17:10 |
| llutz | antz: both, one for the ifupdown controlled things, and the other... for networkmanager | 17:11 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | apt-get install yakuake results in: The following packages have unmet dependencies: steam-launcher : Depends: zenity but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).. | 17:11 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | I have zenity and libgtk-3-0 blacklisted. Ans steam works just fine without them | 17:12 |
| jrib | Juanito_Fulencia: why do you have them blacklisted? | 17:12 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | I dont want to install them | 17:12 |
| jrib | Juanito_Fulencia: yes, but why? | 17:12 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | It is a precaution so i do not install any gtk3 applications by misstake | 17:13 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | so, can i tell ubuntu that steam is actually correctly installed? | 17:14 |
| jrib | Juanito_Fulencia: because you just don't want gtk3? If that's the case, then your best bet is to modify the steam-launcher package so that it doesn't have those dependencies. Though that probably means you are missing out on some functionality of the package. The package *is not* correctly installed because its dependencies are not satisfied | 17:14 |
| Juanito_Fulencia | No the only missing functionality is according to the other at ubuntu-steam only some progressbar har i have never seen anyways | 17:15 |

| Juanito_Fulencia | I guess i could just make a script to reinstall steam every time i want to game... That would be faster | 17:16 |

| Rokkross | Usually though, you'll find something along the lines of "port forwarding" or "virtual servers" | 17:18 |
| Rokkross | In which you'll put in external port start/end, internal port start/end, and the local IP of the machine you're forwarding ports to. | 17:18 |

| enav | Heloo, i got $300 and i need a laptop to do web development with 4GB of ram, any recommendation where i can get a new laptop for that max price ????? | 19:38 |
| DJones | enav: Ask in ##hardware | 19:39 |
| ioria | TraN: the problem is the MBR, master boot record, required by grub | 19:39 |
| TraN | ioria, what about it? | 19:39 |
| sweb | how can i set cache server to my local system. using ubuntu 12.10 server | 19:39 |
| sweb | i'v install bind9 | 19:39 |
| escott | ioria, TraN UEFI doesn't have an MBR | 19:39 |
| Sornaensis | web development requires at least 8gb of ram, sorry | 19:40 |
| TraN | >_< ouch. | 19:40 |
| ioria | TraN: grub is the boot oader of Ubu, but uefi has no mbr | 19:40 |
| bekks | Even UEFI has an MBR - it is the first logical block of a disk. | 19:40 |
| guide_X | how do I get my mouses scrollwheel to work in ubuntu 12.10? | 19:40 |
| ioria | TraN: grub is the boot loader of Ubu, but uefi has no mbr | 19:40 |
| leptone | has anyone setup aptana before? | 19:40 |
| guide_X | i've installed aptana under windows (unfortunetly) | 19:40 |
| TraN | same here. didnt think it worked great though. | 19:41 |
| guide_X | it was pretty horrible and slow | 19:41 |
| auronandace | leptone: what is it? | 19:41 |
| guide_X | I like geany :) | 19:41 |
| fourq | Is it possible to create an image of my ubuntu install after I have everything setup the way I want it, so that I can re-install at anytime? Also adding incrementals to it when I add more that I want on the image? | 19:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | fourq: remastersys | 19:42 |
| ioria | TraN: you should convert your hd | 19:42 |
| leptone | Aptana is an IDE i think specifically for web dev. ive got it dset up but am expirencing a very strange issue. | 19:42 |
| TraN | but following this guide about installing with uefi will work, or is one of those annyoing "will sometimes work"? | 19:42 |
| fourq | ntzrmtthihu777: ty | 19:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | TraN: there is always a risk doing anything. | 19:42 |
| escott | TraN, a number of the UEFI implementations out there are broken in subtle ways | 19:43 |
| ioria | TraN: really, i have no uefi, but if it's reccomended it should work :P | 19:43 |
| escott | TraN, i would certainly recommend disabling secure boot | 19:43 |
| bsnl | Why do people prefer Gentoo? | 19:43 |
| jman074 | holy crap there are a lot of people in this room how is it possible to get any help in here. lol | 19:43 |
| DJones | bsnl: You should ask that in #gentoo | 19:43 |
| auronandace | bsnl: this channel is for ubuntu help | 19:43 |
| jrib | bsnl: ask the people who prefer it :) You could try #ubuntu-offtopic but that's probably not the best place | 19:44 |
| bsnl | Oh there's a gentoo channel? thanks, i'll go there | 19:44 |
| leptone | I am unable to view the contents of /workspace/mysite/mysite from aptana (or eclipse with the aptana plugin) but i can view contents of othe folders for instance /workspace/mysite/polls/ (going thro django polls tutorial) | 19:44 |
| TraN | escott: yes, that certainly seems like a good thing then.. but how will it affect my winblow? | 19:44 |
| TraN | +s | 19:44 |
| sweb | any one ? | 19:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jman074: ask. If there were noone here no one could help you. the strength of ubuntu is the community | 19:44 |
| escott | TraN, you won't be booting with secure boot, thats the only difference | 19:44 |
| jrib | leptone: what happens when you try to view them? Can you ls the directory in a terminal? | 19:44 |
| jman074 | NTZ if your not busy could you i pm you for some help | 19:44 |
| guide_X | so anyone know how to enable the mouse scroll wheel in ubuntu 12.10 | 19:45 |
| TraN | escott: I see.. well, if its as easy as that, then I will just go ahead and disable it I guess..? | 19:45 |
| guide_X | or some kind of special trick to make the scroll wheel work? | 19:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jman074: it is usual to settle out in channel, so others can see and learn, but its ok. | 19:46 |
| auronandace | guide_X: they should just work, unless you got some special sort of gamers mouse | 19:46 |
| leptone | jrib, i can acces the DIR via termianl no problem. in eclipse or aptanta i see the mysite/mysite directory but rather than have a triangle "drop down toggle" like the mysite/polls directory the mysite/mysite is an icon of a folder. but i cant open the folder and edit its contents. like if i double click on it nothing opens or changes | 19:46 |
| sweb | http://askubuntu.com/questions/264827/changing-name-server-to-local | 19:47 |
| guide_X | nope it's a regular old mouse | 19:47 |

| rndbit | hey any of you fine people know workaround for wine failing to detect libosmesa on ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| guide_X | it's in virtual box as well | 19:47 |
| auronandace | rndbit: is mesa installed? | 19:48 |
| rndbit | sure is | 19:48 |
| jrib | leptone: strange. Is there anything peculiar about these directories? Are they maybe symlinks? What's ls -ld mysite/mysite return? | 19:48 |
| rndbit | as far as i gathered its wine problem, but in #winehq everyone is asleep | 19:48 |
| rndbit | /home/rndbit/wine-git/conftest.c:171: undefined reference to `glAccum' | 19:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | windows version of unetbootin can burn an iso to a hard-drive partition, linux's does not. is there a way you can figure this in linux? | 19:49 |
| leptone | jrib, drwxrwxr-x 2 casey casey 4096 Mar 6 11:05 . | 19:50 |
| auronandace | rndbit: wine-git? so you are not using the wine from the repos? | 19:50 |
| fisch246 | anyone know how to manually uninstall a program? I installed spotweb and it got corrupted in the install. so now any sort of uninstall won't work unless i manually just start deleting packages. would removing the bin be enough for ubuntu not to notice it? once i get ubuntu to not notice it, i can move onto removing the install folder. | 19:50 |
| rndbit | im compiling my own | 19:50 |
| leptone | jrib, symlinks? | 19:50 |
| rndbit | want to apply some patches | 19:50 |
| d3c0 | django and apache2? | 19:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | fisch246: how do you mean not notice it | 19:50 |
| fisch246 | ntzrmtthihu777: it tries to update and such, which creates a broken package system | 19:51 |
| jrib | leptone: never mind, your ls output indicates it's not a symlink. Have you tried renaming it? Could be some sort of weird bug because the parent directory has the same name | 19:52 |
| auronandace | fisch246: manually deleting things will very likely confuse dpkg and mess up your system | 19:52 |
| ioria | fisch246: if you download and compile a package you can use make unistall, and in the README or INSTALL you should find info | 19:52 |
| Tracker | need help switching to apache2-mpm-worker and php5-fpm .. currently on mpm-prefork and php and everything works.. but want to upgrade to mpm-worker and php5-fpm so installed package mpm-worker and it autoremoves php5apachemodule and then when trying to configure php5-fpm with mod_fastcgi or fcgid php is still browser download or plain text... not executed.. with mpm-worker .. whats wrong..ö | 19:52 |
| Tracker | anyone? no errors in logs. | 19:52 |
| guide_X | so does anyone know how to troubleshoot the mouse scrollwheel? I can't get it to work at all.. I have a normal laser mouse with two buttons | 19:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | apt-get remove -f package | 19:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | should force the removal | 19:52 |
| jrib | guide_X: see if anything is registered when you scroll in an "xev" window | 19:52 |
| guide_X | hmm ok | 19:53 |

| leptone | jrib, i believe thats how it works. i think it has something to do with the way i migrated it to eclipse bc i just create a new project with in eclipse an i am able to view the contents of test/test id really like it if i didnt have to start the django tutorial over after recreating the project within eclipse | 19:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I guess that did it | 19:56 |
| jrib | leptone: I don't know anything about eclipse so don't really have anything else to suggest unfortunately | 19:56 |
| huge | zz | 19:56 |
| leptone | jrib, np thanks for help. | 19:57 |
| jrib | guide_X: have you ruled out a hardware problem? | 19:57 |
| guide_X | well the mouse works fine in windows | 19:57 |
| guide_X | scrollwheel works and such | 19:58 |
| jrib | guide_X: you can try playing with xinput (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input) but I don't know exactly what you need to do | 19:58 |
| guide_X | ok cool | 19:58 |
| guide_X | oh i've also tried other mice, forgot to mention | 19:59 |
| guide_X | I tried another simple microsoft mouse with laser and scrollwheel as well | 19:59 |
| jrib | guide_X: and the other mouse worked ok? | 19:59 |
| guide_X | it works fine, except for the scroll wheel of course | 20:00 |
| jrib | guide_X: hmm. | 20:00 |
| guide_X | it doesn't work just like the other mouse, | 20:00 |
| guide_X | but works in windows as well | 20:00 |
| auronandace | guide_X: do you have a custom xorg.conf? | 20:01 |
| guide_X | hmm not that I know of | 20:02 |
| guide_X | no one else uses the linux install except for me, but I didn't edit the xorg.conf | 20:03 |
| Mishke | which last ubuntu version with gnome? | 20:03 |
| n-iCe | 12.10 | 20:03 |
| auronandace | guide_X: by default there is no xorg.conf but some graphics drivers do generate one | 20:03 |
| guide_X | Mishke: you can still use gnome shell in 12.10 | 20:03 |
| Mishke | guide_X: i want use gnome 2 | 20:04 |
| auronandace | Mishke: gnome2 is dead, move on | 20:04 |
| guide_X | I have a 11.04 with gnome 2 sitting around | 20:04 |
| Mishke | auronandace: gnome3 is dead too, but many users use this :) | 20:04 |
| auronandace | Mishke: no, gnome3 is actively developed | 20:04 |
| guide_X | bleh gnome3, bleh gnome shell ... gnome 2 :> | 20:05 |
| auronandace | guide_X: 11.04 is no longer supported | 20:05 |
| guide_X | I agree with mishke on this one | 20:05 |
| Mishke | auronandace: i dont like gnome3, he dead! | 20:05 |
| guide_X | yeah... it's the only one I know of is the only reason I mention it | 20:05 |
| auronandace | Mishke: then use something else | 20:05 |
| Mishke | its can be on develop, but its dead | 20:05 |
| Mishke | auronandace: gnome2! | 20:05 |
| Mishke | gnome2 is alive! | 20:05 |
| subcool | what folder do i go in on a liveusb to find my user/home directory? | 20:06 |
| auronandace | Mishke: stop being silly, there are others to choose from: kde, xfce, lxde, enlightenment | 20:06 |
| guide_X | Mishke: according to this article, you can use gnome2 with 12.10 http://dijks.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/install-gnome-2-on-ubuntu-12-10/ | 20:06 |
| guide_X | but I haven't tried it :> | 20:06 |
| zyngawow | does something connected to the internet always respond to pings? | 20:06 |
| Mishke | guide_X: now u using gnome2? | 20:06 |
| guide_X | on 11.04 | 20:06 |
| auronandace | guide_X: that is a very bad idea | 20:06 |
| guide_X | I'm sure it is :> | 20:07 |
| guide_X | I have an 11.04 and a 12.10, on 12.10 I use unity and xfce, but on 11.04, I use gnome2 | 20:07 |
| guide_X | the 11.04 I can't get rid of or replace | 20:07 |

| === beezy is now known as dward | ||
| guide_X | mishke wants to use gnome2 for the same reason why people hate windows8, because it's what they're used to I think.. | 20:09 |

| auronandace | guide_X: that doesn't change the fact that it is no longer supported here | 20:09 |

| bean__ | styler2go: time_wait is orange, fwiw. | 20:14 |
| styler2go | yes but what does that mean... | 20:14 |
| bean__ | styler2go: time wait means that it's waiting to close the connection | 20:15 |
| giiker | styler2go: if I not mistaken, it's just TCP connections | 20:15 |
| === elijah1 is now known as elijah | ||
| unborn | styler2go, that should be tpc connections.. | 20:15 |
| bean__ | yep. | 20:15 |
| styler2go | so everything is ok if this is high? | 20:15 |
| giiker | styler2go: if you have NFS somewhere it might be related to RPC TCP connections | 20:15 |
| bean__ | as long as your firewall can handle that many connections, sure, that's fine | 20:16 |
| styler2go | ok cool thank you :) | 20:16 |
| styler2go | so much traffic today :D | 20:16 |
| robert_me-5 | @unborn: well I think I have done what you are saying but it doesn't seem to be working hmmmm | 20:16 |

| maveas | Injigo_: Anybody using it today? I might give it a try and I just wanted to hear other opinions first. | 20:27 |

| unborn | agree ^^ | 20:32 |
| matelko | Hi. I am new to Ubuntu. I changed and formated my partitions after installing 12.1. Only system partition stays the same. Now I can not write files on my empty partitions. What can be wrong? Thank you. | 20:32 |
| === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: the other partitions are likely owned by root | 20:33 |
| kurteknikk | @ntzrmtthihu777 when you have some time, let me know | 20:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: run gksudo nautilus and see if you can create files in there that way | 20:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: what is the issue? | 20:34 |
| matelko | ok, wait a sec please | 20:34 |
| unborn | matelko zdravim ta | 20:35 |
| unborn | :) | 20:35 |

| kurteknikk | @ntzrmtthihu777 as i said, i want to figure out how can i report a bug in ubuntu (bug found is for mysql 5.5.29 memory leak) but when i press report a bug, i end up in a "how to report a bug" page | 20:35 |
| * unborn speaks native language of your matelko :) | 20:35 | |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: not to be an ass, but that does not tell you how? Because other than that, I don't know. I just asked what was the bug so I can maybe tell you how to fix it, but mysql is beyond me | 20:36 |
| matelko | -ntzrmtthihu777- : yes, with gksudo I can write the files on partitions. How to fix it to be like that after system boot? thank you. | 20:36 |
| nfd | Hey folks, I've got a quick question. | 20:36 |
| nfd | I'm about to set up a box with FDE (probably with this method: https://57un.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/full-disk-encryption-using-ubuntu-in-most-secure-mode-with-aes-xts-plain64/ | 20:37 |
| nfd | ). | 20:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: what you trying to do exactly? | 20:37 |
| kurteknikk | @ntzrmtthihu777 i understand that you think you're being an ass, i don't feel good ending up in that page but not figuring out how i can report a bug ! It's like describing everything apart from my "type of bug" | 20:37 |
| nfd | Someone mentioned some sort of tech that stores the keys in the cpu so they are immediately wiped upon shutdown, what was it called? | 20:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: I'm sorry but I can not be much help in this. do you have a launchpad account? | 20:38 |
| matelko | -ntzrmtthihu777- before I repartioned my disk, my old partitions was automatically mounted as rw after boot. But now not. I want them to mount rw automatically after boot. | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk, did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs ? | 20:38 |
| kurteknikk | @ntzrmtthihu777 yes, and i reported a bug for innobackupex before and it was very simple, but strangely enough for ubuntu looks like much more complicated | 20:38 |
| kurteknikk | @ntzrmtthihu777 yes, that's the page i'm ending up in | 20:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: sudo chown $USER:$USER name-of-drive | 20:39 |
| === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: I did not send you that, and its easier to just type ntz then tab | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk, what exactly was your question then? That has the steps to report a bug? | 20:40 |
| matelko | -ntzrmtthihu777- do I need put that command after start every time 12.1 boots or just run it only once? | 20:40 |
| kurteknikk | ntzrmtthihu777: sorry my bad, btw i didn't know that trick, thanks :) | 20:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: np, I know my name is a pain to type | 20:40 |
| yusuf | hey | 20:41 |
| mcgraw1710 | Okay, I am back. I was Guest555 something. I logged out so I could tell you exactly what I see | 20:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: that will change the ownershipt to you permanently, then you can set up automount by editing your fstab | 20:41 |
| kurteknikk | tgm4883: my question is how do i report a "memory leak type of bug", because they describe how to report a application crash, system crash etc... but can't find like a "simple way to report a bug" maybe there's not really one... maybe i do have to have the whole procedure to report a bug | 20:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: what was your problem, again | 20:41 |
| nfd | Also, if anyone knows how to set said software up, said knowledge would be appreciated. | 20:42 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk, generally it's "ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME" | 20:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: I can guide you through that | 20:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Humor me: If I were to install OpenIndiana (a FOSS clone of Solaris) alongside Ubuntu, which should I install first? | 20:42 |
| kurteknikk | ntzrmtthihu777: to be honest, since you were the only one replying, i just paste it and continue typing... | 20:43 |
| matelko | -ntzrmtthihu777- ahh, right. Now I see. The ownership was the problem. Thank you for the help :-) | 20:43 |
| mcgraw1710 | So when I boot up the PC I see 3 options, ATAPI CD-ROM, Removable Device, and my Computer Hard Drive. When I click on ubuntu to upload I get Try HD0, 0 : NTFS5 : No wubildr | 20:43 |
| puraki | pause | 20:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: you used wubi to install it? | 20:43 |
| mcgraw1710 | Yeah | 20:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | mcgraw1710: Did you install Ubuntu using Wubi? | 20:43 |
| nfd | Fun. | 20:43 |
| auronandace | SonikkuAmerica: openindiana overwrites the bootloader without warning, placing it's own grub there | 20:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: do you have available a usb stick | 20:44 |
| mcgraw1710 | But I don't have a CD Drive on the netbook to burn the iso to, so I used the tool to extract it and use my external hd. I can look. | 20:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kurteknikk: I just like helping ^^ | 20:44 |
| mcgraw1710 | will that work rather than my external hd? | 20:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | auronandace: Right. (It still uses GRUB legacy.) So it's better to do OpenIndiana first and then Ubuntu? | 20:44 |
| auronandace | SonikkuAmerica: yes | 20:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | auronandace: Thanks | 20:45 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk, I don't think there are special steps for memory leaks. It all ends up on LP, and you can always attach extra info if needed | 20:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: Yes, using the usb stick would be the easiest way to do it | 20:45 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: sorry i got disconnected | 20:45 |
| mcgraw1710 | okay. Do I just extract ubuntu to that like I did with my hard drive? | 20:45 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, generally it's "ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME" | 20:45 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, I don't think there are special steps for memory leaks. It all ends up on LP, and you can always attach extra info if needed | 20:46 |
| mcgraw1710 | and what order do I need to put in the bios for boot? | 20:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: no, you need to go here http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and download the windows version | 20:46 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: yeah my only problem is where can i go to "add a new bug". If you can provide a leak it would be amazing | 20:46 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: i've been going through launchpad/ubuntu but couldn't find the stupid page | 20:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcgraw1710: using this tool you will "burn" the iso to the usb stick so you can boot from it and install ubuntu | 20:46 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, for mysql? | 20:47 |
| mcgraw1710 | okay. I will try that. I will do that and then come back in here and let you know if it worked. Thanks Ntzrmtthihu777 | 20:47 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: yes, for the mysql package in ubuntu.. | 20:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mcb_: | 20:47 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, Did you run 'ubuntu-bug mysql'? because that should open to the page you need | 20:48 |
| auronandace | kurteknikk_: you could also check to see if the upstream mysql has the same bug | 20:48 |
| asses | hello | 20:48 |
| auronandace | kurteknikk_: also just so you know many distros will begin transitioning to mariadb as a replacement for mysql | 20:49 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, but to do it manually, you could go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql/+filebug | 20:49 |
| bobka | I'm installing server 12.04 LTS. I have the non-free driver I need (rt73.bin) on a usb stick as installation requests. But installation doesn't proceed: mount: mounting /dev/sda on /media failed. Invalid argument. And later; { phy0 -> rt2x00lib_request_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware. } Many t&e later, I ask should I copy the driver from usb stick to /lib/firmware, and go back to "detect network hardware"? If yes, how? mou | 20:49 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: damn i'm so fkn stupid... first of all i saw the ubuntu-bug command but i thought i shouldn't use that for some reason | 20:50 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: second of all, how did you manage to get that link ??? i searched everywhere ! | 20:50 |
| asses | how i can send a file | 20:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | asses: send a file where | 20:51 |
| enroxorz-work | ntzrmtthihu777: truth be told ive been a linux user for ages, just switched over from fedora on this laptop. The UEFI SecureBoot crap was messing my installation. Also, honestly, I don't see all the hubbubb about unity. its a decent desktop UI. | 20:51 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, I figured out the link after I ran "ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME" | 20:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | enroxorz-work: gotta hate that | 20:51 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: i'm not sure what you mean by the 'upstream mysql'... i'm feeling a bit delayed this evening... | 20:51 |
| matelko | -ntzrmtthihu777- Thank you very much for your help! My partitions are working like I wanted now. | 20:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | enroxorz-work: I hates it | 20:51 |
| tgm4883 | kurteknikk_, for instance, running 'ubuntu-bug mythbuntu-common' takes you to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythbuntu-common/+filebug/1526fa10-869f-11e2-94ce-0025b3df357a? | 20:52 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | matelko: just type ntz then tab, that highlights your message so i can notice it better | 20:52 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: btw i know that that's going to be a replacement, i've actually replaced it with mongodb but i still have a server running mysql which i have to maintain of course | 20:52 |
| asses | up | 20:52 |
| auronandace | kurteknikk_: if mysql has its own project page with a bug tracker you could look to see if it was reported there | 20:52 |
| enroxorz-work | ntzrmtthihu777: yeah. really screwed me up BUT I've administered debian servers before and it's not all that different really. Just gotta get used to the UI is all. Also, this touchscreen laptop + gnu paint = ridiculously awesome amateur pornographic drawings. | 20:52 |
| matelko | ntzrmtthihu777, thank you. | 20:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | enroxorz-work: Yeah, I got a dell all in one with a pinguy os 12.04 | 20:53 |
| kurteknikk_ | tgm4883: amazing, great thanks for you help, that's all i needed ! | 20:53 |
| matelko | bye | 20:53 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: yeah i'm running version 5.5.29 | 20:53 |
| enroxorz-work | ntzrmtthihu777: the best part is i no longer have to deal with balsamiq or pencil for my wireframing. | 20:53 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: i reported the bug, and they said to try 5.5.30 because they fixed some memory leaks in that version | 20:54 |
| Elshar | Hey, how would I find out what flags/arguments/etc a package was compiled with? | 20:54 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: so even if it doesn't fix my issue, they still fixed other memory leaks, so i think it's important to be updated as a package in ubuntu | 20:54 |
| Elshar | I want to recompile nagios with some customizations, but I don't want to totally bork my existing install from the apt repo | 20:54 |
| SuperLag | I'm using Xubuntu, and I've got a dual-head setup. I'm trying to get the display settings to be stored, so that when I boot, I have spanning configured, and not mirroring. However, every time I have to reboot, it reverts to mirroring. | 20:55 |
| auronandace | kurteknikk_: good work on reporting | 20:55 |
| SuperLag | How do I get that to persist? | 20:55 |
| kurteknikk_ | auronandace: thanks, usually i don't have enough time to contribute to developing projects, but i try to do my best in bug reporting | 20:57 |

| auronandace | SonikkuAmerica: yeah, you'll need to chainload openindiana's grub (because of zfs i think) | 21:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK, probably not worth doing then... esp since OI lacks WPA2 Enterprise support @ this time. Thx anyway | 21:03 |

| donavan01 | is it possible to set ubuntu up so that it will install and boot to a software raid array | 21:32 |
| styler2go | http://styler2go.de/munin/localdomain/localhost.localdomain/index.html what do you think baout these loads? are they ok or very bad? | 21:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | try sudo mkdir /media/usb | 21:32 |
| bean__ | styler2go: it depends on how many cores you have | 21:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bobka: then sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/usb | 21:33 |
| bobka | auronandace> r u trolling? i'm in install!! | 21:33 |
| styler2go | i cant see any core number | 21:33 |
| auronandace | ntzrmtthihu777: you mount partitions, not whole devices | 21:33 |
| bean__ | styler2go: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 21:33 |
| bean__ | styler2go: and it will show you how many cores you have | 21:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | auronandace: whatever | 21:33 |
| bean__ | styler2go: it sounds like you're in a bit over your head :\ | 21:33 |
| styler2go | 2ghz... 6 cores | 21:33 |
| styler2go | bit over my head? | 21:34 |
| auronandace | bobka: my apologies, i thought it was there | 21:34 |
| bean__ | styler2go: as in, you don't know much about doing this sort of things. | 21:34 |
| styler2go | yes | 21:34 |
| auronandace | bobka: it's on my 12.10 | 21:35 |
| styler2go | i would buy a better server but i dont think i am using every performance this server could give me | 21:35 |
| bean__ | styler2go: a load average of 12 would be fine on your server and it looks like you never go over 1.5 | 21:35 |
| bean__ | styler2go: what do you need a server for anyways | 21:35 |

| jxshxx | Stuck trying to install 12.04 with XP. Need help making a partition for Ubuntu and have a dual boot. | 21:35 |
| bean__ | styler2go: I do mine on a shared hosting box, not very expensive | 21:36 |
| styler2go | about 300-400 users right now at the same time... | 21:36 |
| k1l_ | jxshxx: just install win xp. then shrink the win partition and make 2 or 3 new one for ubuntu | 21:36 |
| bean__ | hmm | 21:36 |
| bean__ | thats really not bad then | 21:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jxshxx: the installer will walk you through it, its easy | 21:36 |
| styler2go | can i do anything to make my server faster? | 21:36 |
| styler2go | or is there no way? | 21:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | styler2go: get better hardware | 21:37 |
| styler2go | so there is no other way? :D | 21:38 |
| bean__ | styler2go: you're not high load, it's likely not your server that is slow | 21:38 |
| styler2go | hmm | 21:38 |
| aevin_ | hey all... i have a problem mounting my ntfs drive in ubuntu 12.04. The kernek doesn't find the proper partition table | 21:38 |
| styler2go | are you sure? | 21:38 |
| aevin_ | kernel* | 21:38 |

| Guest97010 | hello, whats the commant to start mplayer and let it start playing a audio cd? (playing without stopping al the time) | 21:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Guest97010: what do you need a command for? use an gui app unless you are on server or something | 21:39 |
| pa | ntzrmtthihu777, now it's clear :) | 21:40 |
| Guest97010 | ntzrmtthihu777: in crontab | 21:40 |
| styler2go | my complete android app is lagging so hard | 21:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Guest97010: gotcha. let me see about it | 21:40 |
| styler2go | this morning: one seocnd loading, now: much more than 30 seconds | 21:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | i think I got it, do you intend to have the cd always in the drive? | 21:41 |
| styler2go | now it tells me: Load Average1.27, 1.42, 1.39 | 21:41 |
| Guest97010 | almost | 21:41 |
| jxshxx | The installer USED to be easy, and walked you through a slider for partition size. Now, I get 2 options 1- Use the whole disc or 2 - "Something else", which takes me to a NOT easy page where I am apparently supposed to make a new partition table. | 21:42 |
| Guest97010 | ntzrmtthihu777: i want to make a alarmcloc and then put a certain CD into it the evening before | 21:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | something like mount then for i in {1..100}; do mplayer /path/to/track1 && /path/to/track2; done and so on so on so forth | 21:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jxshxx: you ever just considered using a virtual box | 21:43 |
| jxshxx | ntzrmtthihu777: Yes, but this isn't the right situation for it. | 21:44 |
| === cameron__ is now known as Chromeboy | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jxshxx: what is the situation, then? | 21:44 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/sr0 cdda:// | 21:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: will that keep playing? | 21:44 |
| Ben64 | it should | 21:44 |
| Ben64 | also, the "at" command is handy for alarm clock stuff, Guest97010 | 21:45 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64, ntzrmtthihu777: mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/sr0 cdda:// is stopping every second | 21:45 |
| Ben64 | every second? | 21:45 |
| Ben64 | you're doing something wrong | 21:45 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: yes, | 21:45 |
| bean__ | styler2go: you dont understand what load average means | 21:45 |
| jxshxx | ntzrmtthihu777: Must maintain XP on an old lappy, dual boot, prove to the owner Linux will work better, THEN install on the whole disc :) | 21:45 |
| Guest97010 | i just pasted the comand ... | 21:46 |
| === Knueb is now known as AaronBarr | ||
| bean__ | styler2go: since you have 6 cores, you could use up to 6.0 load average before it is bad | 21:46 |
| styler2go | bean__, i think i dont.. | 21:46 |
| bean__ | and even then a load of 12 would be okay | 21:46 |
| styler2go | maybe i have only one core | 21:46 |
| styler2go | it is a vserver | 21:46 |
| styler2go | mayb ewlimited to one | 21:46 |
| styler2go | maybe limited* | 21:46 |

| bean__ | styler2go: no, i mean, what "plan" | 21:48 |
| jxshxx | ntzrmtthihu777: I don't understand where the "Install alongside" option went in the installer menu. Do you know what I'm talking about? | 21:48 |
| styler2go | wait a second, bean__ ... | 21:48 |
| nicf | Quick question about the installer: I have Windows 8 on this new laptop I'm on, and it came with a couple recovery partitions on it in addition to the big partition Windows is on. If I choose "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8," can I be sure that it will definitely only mess with the big partition? | 21:48 |
| styler2go | the site is not available in english... | 21:48 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: i just pasted the comand ... with parole etc. it works. so the hardware should at least be capable of it :-D | 21:48 |
| bean__ | styler2go: it's okay, i can translate. I speak a bit of german | 21:48 |
| bobka | ntzrmtthihu777> no sdc. had to mkdir /media/usb. mount /dev/sdb /media/usb failed : Invalid argument -> (just like the installer.) | 21:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | :/ | 21:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | what a pain. | 21:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | try cd /media | 21:49 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: then add -cache 4096 | 21:49 |

| bobka | nothing in usb, though. :( | 21:51 |
| bean__ | styler2go: okay, so you have the L, then you have a small amount of CPU, you would seriously be better off on shared hosting | 21:51 |
| styler2go | shared hosting? like amazon c3? | 21:52 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: Cache not responding! [performance issue] | 21:52 |

| bean__ | styler2go: does this do anything other than have a webserver and a database | 21:52 |
| styler2go | what do you mean? | 21:52 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: the laptop is from 2006 or newer, designed for vista | 21:53 |
| bean__ | styler2go: i mean on some shared hosting provider. You also may consider paying for more resources. Theres not much that can be done for a cheap VPS like that | 21:53 |
| styler2go | whats a shared hosting provider? :o | 21:53 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: well keep adjusting cache till it works | 21:54 |
| bobka | auronandace> I'll bite. brb... | 21:54 |
| bean__ | styler2go: like a thing where its a big server, with many other people on it. | 21:54 |

| bobka | auronandace> THANKS! | 21:56 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: why are mp3s bad? | 21:56 |
| bean__ | styler2go: server side | 21:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: lesser quality of sound at times | 21:56 |
| styler2go | its php and mysql | 21:56 |
| auronandace | bobka: is sdb your usb then? | 21:56 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: becourse they are from youtube -live, bad upload quality etc. | 21:56 |
| Ben64 | ntzrmtthihu777: not noticeable at high bitrate | 21:56 |
| bean__ | styler2go: yeah, not very heavy weight. You might try optimizing your mysql database though | 21:57 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: why not rip your cds then? | 21:57 |
| bobka | step 1 - mount file complete. | 21:57 |

| warfaren | i assume it's a newer version of grub that has the file somewhere else, so where do i add it in? | 21:57 |
| Ben64 | Guest97010: k3b can | 21:57 |
| auronandace | !grub2 | warfaren | 21:58 |
| ubottu | warfaren: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 21:58 |
| bean__ | styler2go: looks like plenty of free memory too, its a native android app on the frontend too, yeah? | 21:58 |
| warfaren | it's grub2? because i'm quite sure it says 1.98 when im booting | 21:58 |
| auronandace | warfaren: yeah, thats grub2 | 21:58 |
| warfaren | oh, i thought it would be 2.something | 21:58 |
| === Green__ is now known as Guest47490 | ||
| styler2go | whats native for you? its mostly java, only the chat (which seems to cause the heavy load) is html + ajax | 21:59 |
| auronandace | warfaren: i don't understand gnu's numbering either | 21:59 |
| Guest97010 | Ben64: also have a comuter with xp and mediaplayer ... but then i still have to make the playlist every time and replace the old one instead of just putting another CD into it | 21:59 |
| warfaren | alright.. | 21:59 |
| aevin_ | Why would the kernel in 12.04 not be able to detect a partition but Windows can? | 21:59 |
| bean__ | styler2go: native means java. The HTML + ajax will likely always be slow. | 21:59 |
| bean__ | styler2go: cell networks are pretty slow | 22:00 |
| Ben64 | aevin_: kernels don't detect partitions | 22:00 |
| styler2go | its only laggy right now | 22:00 |
| coder2 | what is channel for dev? | 22:00 |
| styler2go | on normal days the server is completly ok | 22:00 |
| warfaren | auronandace: those links had nothing on "kopt", so i need to edit something under /etc/grub.d/ ? i've looked there and it was messy | 22:00 |
| bobka | Thnks for the help all. I'm going to copy rt73.bin to lib/firmware, umount usb, and backup the install to 'detect network hardware.' | 22:01 |
| aevin_ | Ben64: what detects partitions? i see messages in dmesg... i thought that was the kernel's log? | 22:01 |
| bean__ | styler2go: i dont know that I can really help you, you might want to pay for a better server. | 22:01 |
| styler2go | the problem is | 22:01 |
| Ben64 | aevin_: its complicated, whats your problem? | 22:01 |
| styler2go | i dont know how its called in english | 22:01 |
| styler2go | the server only have very high load an specific days and hours | 22:02 |
| bean__ | styler2go: that is common with many servers. | 22:02 |
| bean__ | styler2go: and 1-4 ish load isn't super high | 22:02 |
| styler2go | most time the server is bored :D | 22:02 |
| ozhanozen | hey | 22:02 |
| warfaren | aha, found it. thanks for making me understand that i'm running grub2 and not grub1, that helped me a long way | 22:02 |
| ozhanozen | how can i install kompozer on ubuntu 12.10 64 bit | 22:02 |
| ozhanozen | please help | 22:02 |
| aevin_ | Ben64: I have a 3TB internal sata drive that has a gpt partition table and a single ntfs partition. fdisk shows the partition as /dev/sdc1 but there is no /dev/sdc1 node | 22:02 |
| styler2go | it is showing me a red ! on the left of the load | 22:03 |
| AnotherPersona | Hello! I am trying to install a ros (robot operating system) package and it apparently depends on an old version of boost | 22:03 |
| bean__ | styler2go: yeah, so only slow when many people are connecting. Have you looked at the your apache max processes? and your max connections for mysql? | 22:03 |
| AnotherPersona | so I get a bunch of unmet dependencies | 22:03 |
| styler2go | bean__, now its Load Average2.17, 2.08, 1.84 | 22:03 |
| aevin_ | Ben64: without the device node I can't mount it | 22:03 |
| bean__ | styler2go: thats still not very high | 22:03 |
| Ben64 | ozhanozen: sudo apt-get install kompozer | 22:03 |
| rats_ | ozhanozen: have you checked to see if Kompozer is in the repos | 22:03 |
| Ben64 | aevin_: check in gparted or parted, fdisk doesn't do gpt | 22:04 |
| styler2go | bit why is there a red ! then? | 22:04 |
| AnotherPersona | can anyone suggest how to 'fake out' the package to use the newer version of boost? or something | 22:04 |
| bean__ | styler2go: i have a 4 core server that loads sites just fine up to about a load of 20. | 22:04 |
| styler2go | maybe my vserver is limited to that load? | 22:04 |
| rats_ | that should work too | 22:04 |
| bean__ | styler2go: it very well could be. | 22:04 |
| aevin_ | Ben64: parted /dev/sdc print says: Error: /dev/sdc: unrecognised disk label | 22:05 |
| styler2go | bean__, i found something: http://snag.gy/DR4uh.jpg | 22:05 |
| Ben64 | aevin_: thats not good | 22:05 |
| bean__ | styler2go: so 1 cpu. so a load of 2 is going to start feeling the pain | 22:06 |
| bean__ | styler2go: i suggest you upgrade | 22:06 |
| aevin_ | Ben64: indeed. the drive works fine in windows | 22:06 |
| styler2go | Load Average2.4, 2.41, 2.02 | 22:06 |

| aevin_ | Ben64: Also a similar line in dmesg: [ 2.897166] sdc: unknown partition table | 22:07 |
| styler2go | bean__, i would just need a better cpu, right? | 22:08 |
| bean__ | styler2go: probably. | 22:08 |
| Ben64 | aevin_: sudo gdisk -l /dev/sdc | 22:08 |

| art1 | is there a list of devices that are compatible with 12.04? | 22:16 |
| auronandace | !hcl | art1 | 22:17 |
| ubottu | art1: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 22:17 |
| art1 | I'm only curios cuz when looking at say newegg.com, devices are listed with windows and MacOS but don't say anything about linux | 22:20 |
| Soundman | On Ubuntu official site should be list like u are searching for | 22:21 |
| fidel | apart from that list - i almost never had issues installing ubuntu on whatever x86 hardware | 22:22 |
| Soundman | Cause? | 22:23 |
| fidel | so in general it usualy works - with minor issues - but usualy you'll be able to find workarounds & fixes for those isses. generaly spoken | 22:23 |
| Soundman | general i hadnt any problems too at all | 22:23 |
| art1 | kk, ty | 22:24 |
| Soundman | By the way, have anybody any ideas to make lxde faster at all ? On netbook what im using at work it still sloooowww | 22:25 |
| Soundman | 12.04 on atom and 1gb ram isnt to fast. | 22:25 |
| pwarf | Hey guys, I've got a question. I keep trying to install 12.04 alongside windows with the downloader from Ubuntu | 22:26 |
| pwarf | And, it keeps giving me the "uncompression failed, system halted" error | 22:26 |
| Soundman | Try to download iso file and use unetbotin | 22:27 |
| bobka | Once this install is complete, I'll be back. The display I'm forced to use is ancient (1991 - pre-VESA2). I've good in Knoppix Live-CD, but my grub kung-fu is weak. | 22:27 |

| gp5st | Sorry if this isn't the place #openssl is pretty dead and I thought someone here might be knowledgeable. When an SSL/X.509 certificate is renewed, e.g. before it expires, does the fingerprint of the certificate stay the same? Does one need to use the same csr as the first time to get the same fingerprint? Will the fingerprint always change. Is there any identifier based solely on the key itself? | 22:32 |

| kalenjohnson | so apparently lightdm.log grew to 60gb because I was under a brute force attack. Fun! | 23:20 |
| bekks | jhutchins_wk: ntfs3g will nbot help at all at this point determining the partitions on that drive | 23:20 |
| jhutchins_wk | Perhaps we are getting lost in unnecessary details if he just wants to use the drive. | 23:21 |
| aevin_ | jhutchins_wk: ntfs-3g 2012.1.15AR.5 external FUSE 29 - Third Generation NTFS Driver | 23:21 |
| tgm4883 | jhutchins_wk, ntfs3g is for write support, not read | 23:21 |
| bekks | jhutchins_wk: So you intend to say that there might be a fs on the entire disk, instead in a partition. | 23:21 |
| aevin_ | windows reports that there is a small amount of "reserved" space at the beginning of the disk and then the remainder is a single partition of aprox 2.7TiB | 23:22 |

| aidencamo | Hello. I was wondering if anybody could answer a quick question I have about Wubi? My system is a Windows 8 system that was upgraded from Windows 7. If I use Wubi to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, would it use the Windows 8 bootloader or would it use grub? | 23:45 |
| Ben64 | as opposed to unity, which the default ubuntu install is | 23:45 |
| elisa87 | do you know where Mercurial.ini is located? >? | 23:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Matt1435: differnt versions of ubuntu in essence. look for xubuntu or lubuntu | 23:46 |
| bcbc2 | Matt1435: have you tried nomodeset? | 23:46 |
| Ben64 | aidencamo: why would you do 10.04? 12.04 is out | 23:46 |
| Bray90820 | ntzrmtthihu777 when i installed android next to ubuntu without installing the android grub i ran sudo update grub and android di not show up | 23:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Matt1435: I find lubuntu to be nice | 23:46 |
| Matt1435 | bcbc2: i have not - what is nomodeset | 23:46 |
| bcbc2 | aidencamo: Wubi uses the windows bootloader and grub | 23:46 |
| bcbc2 | !nomodeset | 23:46 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: because maybe he has reasons | 23:46 |
| aidencamo | Awesome. So if I install 10.04, it'll co-exist with Windows 8 nicely? | 23:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ben64: update grub or update-grub? | 23:47 |
| escott | aidencamo, probably not easily | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | 10.04 is only supported for another month :| | 23:47 |
| Matt1435 | ubottu: how can I change that parameter? I can't even get the terminal screen to appear | 23:47 |
| ubottu | Matt1435: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:47 |
| Ben64 | doesn't make any sense to install 10.04 anymore | 23:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Matt1435: at the grub menu hit e | 23:47 |
| bcbc2 | Matt1435: check out that thread linked to. | 23:48 |
| Matt1435 | grub menu? | 23:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | then add nomodeset or whatever it is to the end | 23:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, you did not see one as it booted? gives 4 choices by default | 23:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Matt1435: normal, recovery, and 2 memtests | 23:48 |
| bcbc2 | Matt1435: hold down the Shift key when you boot and it will show the grub menu | 23:48 |
| Matt1435 | ok, thanks | 23:49 |
| Matt1435 | I will try this | 23:49 |
| Matt1435 | thank you very much, everyone | 23:49 |
| Matt1435 | much appreciated! | 23:49 |
| bobolopolis | elisa87: Mercurial.ini is the config file on Windows. In Linux, it'll be .hgrc in your home directory. | 23:49 |
| aidencamo | My reasons for 10.04 are simple, 12.10 is nice, but my battery lasts about twenty minutes max. 10.04 feels slightly snappier and lighter on system resources. Even though my laptop is quad core, coupled with 6gb of ram and a pretty snappy GPU. | 23:49 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | aidencamo: yeah, re-install gnome-shell and it will look and feel just like 10.04, and be supported | 23:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | aidencamo: a whole lotta fail | 23:50 |
| Ben64 | aidencamo: slightly newer versions of stuff? | 23:50 |
| Bray90820 | ntzrmtthihu777 i did sudo update-grub | 23:51 |
| Ben64 | i always stick with LTS releases. less updating. | 23:51 |
| aidencamo | Right, will do. I heard that the kernal on 12.10 was quite shit compared to previous versions anyway. Thanks for your help. | 23:51 |
