| inflex | hiya folks, last night my father did the usual software updates (about 84MB downloaded) and this morning he woke up to all his home directory missing O_o Any ideas? | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | inflex: use a live cd and look for it,. the fs may need chedcked also.. the package manager normally dosent touch stuff in the users home | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 01:32 |
| 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 | 01:32 |
| inflex | dr_willis: that was my thought as well. Told him to shut it down and not touch it until I can examine it. | 01:32 |
| mailson | to install apache+php+mysql in 12.10 i just need to type sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ right? | 01:32 |

| dr_willis | !lamp | 01:32 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 01:32 |

| Quen | So, I'm running Kubuntu, but since that channel has just been /so/ helpful over the past couple days, I'm asking here instead. I can't get CD's to mount properly when I put them in the drive, which makes ripping the music off them pretty much impossible to do properly; I don't think it's the CD itself, because it works just fine in my stereo. How can I figure out what's wrong here? | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | Quen: you dont mount music cds | 01:36 |

| dr_willis | it could be the /deb/cdrom is an invalid link to the wrong /dev/sr0 device | 01:37 |
| stupidBYdefault | hy all | 01:37 |
| stupidBYdefault | wha t is x11? | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are links to the actual sr# device. | 01:37 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: the wiki pedia pages may be usefull.. its the foundation layer/software of the whole Desktop interface | 01:37 |
| Quen | stupidBYdefault; DE framework, it's what makes Ubuntu so pretty. | 01:38 |
| Quen | dr_willis; I checked those, they look fine. | 01:38 |
| Tex_Nick | Quen : are those the original music CD's or copies ? | 01:38 |
| dr_willis | Quen: try some alternative ripper apps. run them from terminal. look for error messages | 01:38 |
| stupidBYdefault | is this like another desktop? like.. theme? | 01:38 |
| Quen | Original disks. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: its the 'foundation' of the ALL the desktops. | 01:39 |
| mailson | kalenjohnson: a apt-get update solved the problem. thanks! | 01:39 |
| Quen | I've tried ripping by manual copy, still won't work. | 01:39 |
| stupidBYdefault | u, nice, tnx.. how to install? | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: its installed by default.. since its what all the desktops are using. | 01:39 |
| dr_willis | unless you did a server install.. | 01:40 |
| stupidBYdefault | am.. no.. i get this linux 12.04 lts on usb | 01:40 |
| stupidBYdefault | so, how to use it? | 01:41 |
| X-warrior | This is my smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/1Es1ADDn tested by testparm... inside the log I see: smb_panic(): calling panic action [/usr/share/samba/panic-action 1928] a lot... ideas? | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: be a bit mroe detailed in what you mean.. you burn the iso to usb or disk.. boot it up.. it goes to the unity desktop | 01:41 |
| stupidBYdefault | correct.. no option for anything else.. | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: be a bit mroe detailed in what you mean.. | 01:42 |
| dr_willis | theres 100's of options... for dozens of things.. | 01:42 |
| Quen | Your choice of desktop environment depends entirely on what you want it to do. | 01:43 |
| X-warrior | If I try smbclient -L xyz -U inexistent_user... it asks for my password and "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_PIPE_BROKEN" | 01:43 |
| stupidBYdefault | aha.. i am not sure how it say by name.. enviroment? gnome, unity.. | 01:43 |
| Quen | I, personally, like KDE. | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | the ubuntu live cd - uses unity.. the kubuntu live cd uses Kde. | 01:43 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu uses lxde... | 01:43 |
| X-warrior | my iptables -L don't show any rule | 01:43 |
| SolarisBoy | did you create any? | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | X-warrior: that nt_status message seems to be a generic 'it failed' message.. i never have figured out what it really means | 01:44 |
| SolarisBoy | !ufw | 01:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. 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. | 01:44 |
| stupidBYdefault | no way to use this 12.04 lts with KDE? | 01:44 |
| dr_willis | stupidBYdefault: the Kubuntu live cd - loads to KDE. | 01:44 |
| X-warrior | dr_willis, uhmmm | 01:45 |
| black_baron_ | warrior: ummm....what? | 01:45 |
| X-warrior | thinking | 01:45 |
| adnappanda | exit | 01:46 |
| stupidBYdefault | exit | 01:47 |
| stupidBYdefault | tnx all | 01:47 |
| stupidBYdefault | bye | 01:47 |

| panorain | Quen open termianl keys> dpkg-l |less | 01:58 |

| travis_ | Ok, so the change user name command is a little confusing for me. Do I usermod -l <new name> <old name> ? | 02:02 |
| panorain | dr_willis do you reccomend dpkg-l |less for observing packages? | 02:02 |
| dr_willis | i rarely use the more advanced commands of the apt system panorain . | 02:03 |
| panorain | dr_willis ok thank you | 02:03 |
| luck | dr_willis: do you know why touch pad not working in ubuntu | 02:03 |
| dr_willis | luck beacuse of the varity of touchpads.. and the changes to the X input stuff i imagine. - I have heard/read that 13.04 improves touchpad support.. | 02:04 |
| dr_willis | id check askubuntu.com for your specific hardware - to see if anyone has any fixs or updates/patches.. | 02:04 |

| dr_willis | tremby: i think curl yes.. not sure about wget | 02:06 |
| Quen | No, so I assumed that meant it wasn't on my system and I'd have to install it; hence why I asked if it could be found via apt-get. | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | i dont recall ever insrtalling curl. but i have installed wget befor | 02:06 |
| tremby | dr_willis: how sure are you that curl is preinstalled? | 02:06 |
| needhelp_ | Help!!! I hang on the purple screen when booting no matter how many time I reinstall the ubuntu. I can get to grub but then every thing purple. | 02:06 |
| dr_willis | i thought apt uses curl to download stuff. | 02:06 |

| dr_willis | elisa87: wrong package name.. or its not avail in the repos for your release | 02:08 |
| needhelp_ | Thx, let me try | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | or theres a new version replaceing it? | 02:08 |
| Quen | I tried searching out for LAME with apt-get -d, just to see if it exists; it's not out there. | 02:08 |
| panorain | Quen lett me have a look also | 02:08 |
| dr_willis | Quen: apt-cache search lame dosent show it? | 02:08 |
| Quen | I didn't know that command existed. | 02:09 |
| panorain | Quen switch to lowercase letters lame | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | err.. its a core apt command. ;) | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | apt-get downloads/installs stuff... apt-cache searches | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install lame should install it | 02:10 |

I deleted the old one because I didn't get it from a repo but now when I type in "npm" it looks for the old npm installation. How do I tell it to look for the new one? | 02:21 |
| Quen | Alright, so, my last major issue on Kubuntu, probably the biggest as well; I'm missing OpenGL, and 3D acceleration support, after trying the proprietary nVidia drivers for my graphics card. | 02:21 |
| Quen | It worked fine out of the box, the Nouveau driver rendered MineCraft just fine. | 02:22 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: if it ain't broke, don't fix it ;) | 02:22 |
| Quen | Yeah, I realize my error by this point. | 02:23 |
| Quen | Can't play MineCraft any more. | 02:23 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: you should be able to set it back to that driver | 02:23 |
| Quen | It's running Nouveau again, but I'm still missing OpenGL and 3D support. | 02:23 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: do you have mesa installed? | 02:24 |
| Quen | Fairly certain. | 02:24 |
| Quen | Let me check. | 02:24 |

| thecodethinker | Quen: after that go to software sources | 02:31 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: tell me when that opens up | 02:31 |
| Quen | I don't see software sources on here. | 02:32 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:32 |
| thecodethinker | 12.04? | 02:32 |
| Quen | 12.10, though I'm using the KDE environment. | 02:32 |
| thecodethinker | it should be there. at the bottom of system settings | 02:32 |
| Quen | But #kubuntu has been absolutely /no/ help the past couple days. | 02:33 |

| fauxhebro | thanks tho lol | 03:00 |
| CrazyArseMutt | faux do it through the official ubuntu site - and always check the official windows site before you do those things - you want to make sure you follow manufacturer's recomendations | 03:00 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: did anyone help u or are you still waiting on me? | 03:00 |
| Quen | thecodethinker; I'm still waiting. | 03:00 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: okay sorry about that | 03:01 |
| fauxhebro | thank you, reading now this seems helpful | 03:01 |
| Quen | Plenty to pass the time with, but having mineCraft would make passing time even easier. | 03:01 |
| nintnint | im about to get minecraft going | 03:01 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: i didn't have vbox installed so... doing that | 03:01 |
| nintnint | from what I know I need the .jar file and to run it as an executable. | 03:01 |
| Quen | I see. | 03:01 |
| nintnint | i read that should work. | 03:01 |
| Guest27533 | How Can i play minecraft on android | 03:02 |
| fauxhebro | So do I install fakeraid and then install on partitions beside Windows 7 ? | 03:02 |
| Quen | Guest27533; With the Android MineCraft App. | 03:02 |
| Quen | MineCraft Pocket Edition. | 03:02 |

| CrazyArseMutt | if you like that stuff why dont you just play with a ti-89 calculator all day?> | 03:05 |

| Guest27533 | I have linux installed in my android, but it is not able to connect with any sensor(bluetooth, speakers..etc) it just runs in terminal or vnc app. How to fix this, plz help! | 03:05 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: a little while ago java had a really bad security hole. It was recomended by M$ and I think the NSA to disable java | 03:05 |
| nintnint | CrazyArseMutt, because a ti-89 is really expensive! | 03:05 |
| CrazyArseMutt | the ti-89 is old school and then there is graph paper | 03:05 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: also it takes like 50 lines of code to do something that C++ can do in 2 lines | 03:05 |

| Guest27533 | My linux in android also compiles c c++ java and do python. But now i want bluetooth.. | 03:06 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: yeah but haskell is made for that | 03:07 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: C++ is general purpose. Haskell is more math oriented | 03:07 |
| Quen | True. | 03:07 |
| CrazyArseMutt | you can get a ti-89 program to run as a gui too | 03:07 |
| Quen | I've been thinking about toying with LISP. | 03:07 |

| thecodethinker | Guest27533: idk. Ur kind of hacking ur way through that. I'm not sure if people here can help | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | made sure the modules are not blacklisted still Quen ? | 03:15 |
| Quen | Not sure how to find that, dr_willis. | 03:15 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: did u try reinstalling Kubuntu? | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | !blacklist | 03:15 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 03:15 |
| Guest27533 | Thanku! Good day | 03:15 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: that fixes everything | 03:15 |
| CrazyArseMutt | Guest27533, what are you trying to do? get you internal mobo sensors operational? | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | in /etc/modprob.d/ there mightbe a blacklist entry for the noveau drivers | 03:15 |
| Quen | I have some stuff installed that I don't want to drop. | 03:16 |
| CrazyArseMutt | oh, nevermind - way outta my league | 03:16 |
| thecodethinker | Quen: back it up :D. just saying... super easy fix to everything | 03:16 |
| Quen | The blacklist in modprob.d says not to edit the file manually. | 03:17 |
| Quen | There's four entries with nouveau in them. | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | i would move them out to some other directory. or comment them.. that may be the issue | 03:18 |
| dr_willis | the nvidia drivers may have added the lines.. but dident remove them | 03:18 |
| Nanaharu | so I'm installing ubuntu and it seems like it's stuck at congifuring hardware... Is it just slow or will it eventually time out if nothings happening? | 03:18 |
| thecodethinker | How do I remove a link to a no longer existing file (I don't think I used link right but...) I try to install a new (to me) version of npm. I deleted the old one because I didn't get it from a repo but now when I type in "npm" it looks for the old npm installation. How do I tell it to look for the new one? | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | thecodethinker: just rm it like yiu would a file | 03:19 |
| Quen | What of a part of lines the likes of "alias *nouveau off"? | 03:19 |
| thecodethinker | dr_willis: rm what tho? | 03:19 |
| Quen | I presume I should comment those as well? | 03:19 |
| dr_willis | thecodethinker: the link. | 03:20 |

| thecodethinker | dr_willis: trying it change it from looking in /usr/local/bin/node to just /usr/bin | 03:21 |

| warfaren | Quen: i think you're best off using a for loop | 03:38 |
| warfaren | Quen: if you let me PM you i can give you an example | 03:38 |
| * Quen isn't writing a script. | 03:38 | |
| Nanaharu | My installer is stuck at configuring hardware. What do I do? | 03:39 |
| warfaren | no, this isn't about a script either. for loops can be used directly on the command line | 03:39 |
| Quen | I'd use the man page to figure it out, but it's completely unclear on how to use the command. | 03:39 |
| din | Quen, something like rename 's/foo/bar/g' *.txt | 03:40 |
| warfaren | yeah something like that | 03:40 |
| Quen | But what of that regex statement gets replaced with the other? | 03:41 |
| din | foo gets replaced with bar | 03:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: foo gets replaced with bat | 03:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *bar | 03:41 |
| din | give me an example of your file name | 03:41 |
| din | you can try it on one file first then use * for all files. | 03:41 |
| Quen | "Job\ for\ a\ Cowboy\ -\ 01\ -\ Bearing\ the\ Serpents\ Lamb.wav" The all start with everything before the 01. | 03:42 |
| Quen | And I want to get rid of that bunch at the start. | 03:42 |
| warfaren | yeah so s/'Job for a Cowboy'//g | 03:42 |
| din | what he said. | 03:42 |
| warfaren | oh and' - ' | 03:42 |
| din | :) | 03:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: as much as i love bash-scripting you can easily do this with a graphical tool named gprename | 03:43 |
| warfaren | in fact you wont even need the g | 03:43 |
| Quen | ntzrmtthihu777; See, I didn't know that existed. | 03:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: I use it all the time with my music colletion | 03:43 |
| din | Quen, just try it with the one file name for a test. | 03:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: but the rename command is rather nice | 03:43 |
| warfaren | or do like me. use the echo command first rather than rename | 03:43 |
| marcs1989 | Hello. I'm a regular Ubuntu user and I don't really have enough experience to dev, but I was just wondering if there was any official announcement about the 'auto-hide launcher' feature and if it was going to be getting a patch anytime soon? | 03:43 |
| warfaren | then you'll see what it will look like but nothing actually happens | 03:43 |
| warfaren | if you're happy, just bring back the command and replace echo with mv or rename or whatever you're using | 03:44 |
| din | rename 's/Job for a Cowboy -'//g' *01*Serpents.wav | 03:44 |
| warfaren | din: think you're missing a ' | 03:44 |
| din | doh | 03:44 |
| din | rename "s/'Job for a Cowboy -'//g" *01*Serpents.wav | 03:45 |
| din | that looks better. :) | 03:45 |

| warfaren | yup :P | 03:45 |
| xxiao | diff 'sudo -i' 'sudo -s' | 03:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | question: in sed you can use things other that / as a delimiter in order to avoid having to escape the /'s in pathnames, can you do the same in rename? | 03:46 |
| Quen | Didn't remove the string. | 03:46 |
| xxiao | what's the difference...sudo -i vs sudo -s | 03:46 |
| xxiao | even sudo su | 03:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !patience > xxiao | 03:46 |
| ubottu | xxiao, please see my private message | 03:46 |
| xxiao | less typing than su - root | 03:47 |
| din | Quen, i'll make the file here, figure it out and give you the command. | 03:47 |
| Quen | Appreciated, the man page doesn't tell me anything I can figure out. | 03:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | din: not to undercut you, but perhaps Quen should go with gprename. its pretty easy to learn. | 03:47 |
| warfaren | Quen: the manpage on what? rename? | 03:47 |
| Quen | warfaren; Yeah. | 03:47 |
| warfaren | ok | 03:48 |
| din | well, i refuse to be defeated by a regex ;) | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | use sudo -i other ways can goof up settings | 03:48 |
| Quen | ntzrmtthihu777; I'd like to learn the terminal command, regardless. | 03:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: kk, just a thought. | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | i always look up rename examples | 03:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: what was the filename again or the general format? | 03:48 |
| Quen | I'm fairly new to Linux and I want to make myself at least mostly proficient. | 03:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: good. the best way, I find, is to try stuff :P | 03:49 |
| Quen | All the filenames start with "Job\ for\ a\ Cowboy\ -\ ". | 03:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and you want that gone? | 03:49 |
| Quen | Followed by a number, then the track name. | 03:49 |
| warfaren | haha reminds me of all those times i tried to mass rename stuff and ending up combining all the files into one file :( | 03:49 |
| Quen | Yes, I want that first common bit gone. | 03:49 |
| warfaren | well, overwriting them one by one really | 03:49 |
| din | rename "s/Job\ for\ a\ Cowboy\ -//g" Job*.wav did it for me. | 03:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yep, thats it. | 03:50 |
| warfaren | 's should work fine in the s/// syntax, so you dont have to worry about escaping all those spaces | 03:50 |
| din | yeah, it's a force of habit. | 03:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | same, lol | 03:51 |
| warfaren | yeah well whatever you're comfortable with :) | 03:51 |
| warfaren | besides i think the backslash is harder for me to write then you guys.. i have a swedish keyboard | 03:51 |
| Quen | Still have the first spaces, what would I stick in to get rid of those, without nixing the rest of the spacing of then names? | 03:51 |
| warfaren | on your keyboard it's just one key to write it right? not a key combo? | 03:52 |
| din | what first spaces? | 03:52 |
| warfaren | backslashes | 03:52 |
| Quen | "\ " at the very start. | 03:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: 's/^ //g' | 03:52 |
| Quen | Just one off the front. | 03:52 |
| din | yup. | 03:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: the ^ signifies the start of the filename | 03:52 |
| din | and $ signifies the end (for future reference) | 03:53 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | din: ahhh, thankya, I did not know that one | 03:53 |
| Quen | I've learned more here than from reading the entire manpage for rename, thanks. | 03:53 |
| subcool | Can someone help me with a /home issue? | 03:53 |
| subcool | i just re-installed kubuntu, but my computer drops boot once passing the ubuntu gear | 03:53 |
| subcool | I dont even know how to google it | 03:53 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: the manpages are pretty good for refreshing, but sometimes you need a live example to understand, no? | 03:54 |
| din | yean ntzrmtthihu777 so 's/ $//g' would remove spaces at the end. | 03:54 |
| warfaren | if you don't get an answer for a while, is it okay to repeat your question here? i mean i guess no1 will see my question after it getting pushed up so far | 03:54 |
| Quen | Yeah, can't argue with that. | 03:54 |
| noenoe | hello everybody... | 03:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | warfaren: whassup? | 03:54 |
| jason_ | hi | 03:54 |
| warfaren | i was asking if i can disable alt+left/right toggling virtual consoles | 03:54 |
| Quen | There we go, now to try it on the other directory full of prepended identifiers. | 03:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | warfaren: you mean the desktops? | 03:55 |
| warfaren | no, virtual consoles. the ones you get to when you press ctrl+alt+f1 through f6 | 03:55 |
| din | Quen, when you are comfortable with it, you can use * to specify all the files. | 03:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: make sure you clip it all off at once, makes it simpler. | 03:55 |
| din | of course nothing that doesn't match won't be affected. | 03:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | warfaren: aaah, the tty's | 03:55 |
| Quen | All done, thanks guys. | 03:56 |
| warfaren | well yeah... | 03:56 |
| warfaren | nice1 | 03:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | warfaren: exactly why do you want to disable it? | 03:56 |
| DigitRig | if I use "locate somefilenamehere" how can I grep for the first result? | 03:56 |
| warfaren | because it overrides sending that key combo to my program | 03:56 |
| noenoe | if i wanna upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04...the data safe to that place? | 03:56 |
| Quen | Much quicker and less repetitive than renaming each one by one in Dolphin. | 03:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | DigitRig: use locate foo | more | 03:56 |
| din | DigitRig, locate file|head -1 | 03:56 |
| Quen | And now that I actually know roughly how to do it, more convenient. | 03:56 |
| warfaren | and i'm fine with pressing alt+f1, f2 etc instead.. i dont switch VT's as often as i use the key combo for my program | 03:56 |
| din | warfaren, there's a way, trying to recall. | 03:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Quen: yeah, i'm glad I got in on this learning session, I may be able to do some nifty for looped renaming now | 03:57 |
| warfaren | :) | 03:57 |
| Quen | *yay* | 03:57 |
| din | warfaren, check out /etc/inittab | 03:57 |
| Quen | I knew there had to be some power in the rename command, and now I know at least the basics of how to use it. | 03:58 |
| warfaren | din: oO it's not on my system | 03:58 |
| warfaren | i'm really surprised | 03:58 |
| din | well, i use all sorts of linux/unix machines. it's usually there. | 03:58 |
| din | heh, not on mine either. | 03:59 |
| warfaren | Quen: yeah, well in fact that power comes from the regular expressions and you find those everywhere, not just in rename | 03:59 |
| warfaren | haha | 03:59 |
| warfaren | i really expeced it to be there | 03:59 |
| warfaren | i'mma do find / -name inittab | 03:59 |
| din | warfaren, looks like you can just mv /etc/init/tty1.conf{,.bak} | 04:00 |
| din | that would disable tty1 | 04:00 |
| din | so on and so forth for the rest. | 04:00 |
| warfaren | hm you mean so i'll end up with just one tty? | 04:00 |
| din | or however many you want. | 04:00 |
| din | the {,.bak} is a shortcut for renaming it... | 04:01 |
| din | fyi | 04:01 |
| warfaren | how's that gonna stop the key combo? | 04:01 |
| din | honestly i just googled it. | 04:01 |
| din | heh | 04:01 |
| warfaren | the only way i see that stopping it is leaving only one tty left so there's none other to switch to | 04:01 |
| warfaren | alright | 04:01 |
| warfaren | i was doing that before too | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | !inittab | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | upstart dosent use initab | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 04:01 |
| warfaren | but all i could find was a list of the key combinations | 04:01 |
| din | you'll likely have to reboot after doing that. | 04:01 |
| Cyclohexane | Is it possible to ssh using a proxy? e.g. ssh -lroot host --proxy proxy.com:2992 | 04:01 |
| Grimhound | I have a question. What is LVM, and is it worth installing with a new Ubuntu installation? | 04:02 |
| warfaren | Cyclohexane: sure, for one you could use tsocks | 04:02 |
| warfaren | but there are probably better solutions | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | !lvm | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | Grimhound: ive never needed it. | 04:02 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 04:02 |
| Cyclohexane | warfaren: how would I use tsocks? | 04:02 |
| Quen | Is it possible to use Kfrb to remote in to my Kubuntu machine from a different network; or can it only do LAN? | 04:03 |
| dr_willis | it lets you resize partitions and things on the fly | 04:03 |
| warfaren | Cyclohexane: it requires you to have a socks proxy available | 04:03 |
| Cyclohexane | warfaren: I will have a socks available | 04:03 |
| warfaren | you install tsocks, set up its config to point out the ip and port to the socks proxy, then you use it as a launcher for the command | 04:03 |
| warfaren | so basically tsocks ssh user@host | 04:03 |
| Cyclohexane | ah ok | 04:03 |
| Grimhound | Is there any downside to installing LVM? | 04:03 |
| warfaren | i'm not 100% sure it will work with ssh, though | 04:03 |
| Grimhound | Does it take up resources? | 04:03 |
| warfaren | but i think it might | 04:04 |
| Grimhound | Is it worth it if I'm installing Xubuntu onto a ratty old laptop? | 04:04 |
| dr_willis | Grimhound: doubtfull if you need it | 04:04 |
| din | Grimhound, LVM is logical volume management. | 04:04 |
| warfaren | isn't a lot of distros using LVM by default nowadays? | 04:05 |
| din | you know, combine several disks, into one logical volume, create raid 1 mirrors etc... | 04:05 |
| warfaren | Grimhound: how old is your laptop? | 04:05 |
| dr_willis | warfaren: i think redhat does. | 04:05 |
| Grimhound | It's a Compaq Presario C700 series | 04:06 |
| warfaren | right now i'm typing on an IBM thinkpad 600X with a pentium III 500mhz and 512MB ram | 04:06 |
| Grimhound | So... 2005-ey | 04:06 |
| Grimhound | I want to say, anyway | 04:06 |
| warfaren | it's running ubuntu 12.04 with X stopped | 04:06 |
| warfaren | running great | 04:06 |
| warfaren | but i intend to replace it with a faster distro eventually | 04:07 |
| din | warfaren, i'm on a macbook (2007) dual booting os x and ubuntu. :) | 04:07 |
| warfaren | surely a 2005 laptop shouldn't have any major problems with most distros i think | 04:07 |
| warfaren | depends on what you intend to do with it | 04:07 |
| warfaren | ah nice | 04:07 |
| Keyman009 | Anyone feel like helping me understand why my current installation of libpcap cannot be seen by the ./configure script for DAQ-2.0.0? | 04:07 |
| Keyman009 | I have a fresh install of Server 12.4.2 | 04:08 |
| din | Keyman009, generally there's a log in the directory that will tell you what happened. | 04:09 |
| din | after the config. | 04:09 |
| din | maybe config.log... or something of the sort. | 04:09 |
| holstein | Keyman009: maybe whatever DAQ is expects a different version | 04:09 |
| Keyman009 | Yes I have read the log... it just tells me that it cannot see an installation of libpcap version 1.0.0 or greater. | 04:09 |
| Keyman009 | But it is installed (version 1.1.1 ) | 04:10 |
| holstein | Keyman009: where did you get DAQ? | 04:10 |
| Keyman009 | from snort.org | 04:11 |
| din | i've run into this a lot and have had to install the dev libs as well. i haven't checked to see if there is one for libpcap | 04:11 |
| warfaren | hm maybe you need to find where the .so file is and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that directory? | 04:11 |
| === torpet|away is now known as torpet | ||
| din | Keyman009, try installing libpcap-dev and running it again. | 04:11 |
| Keyman009 | There are a number of ways to get it working, and I can get it to work. I am just trying to understand where it is currently looking by default. | 04:12 |
| warfaren | ok | 04:12 |
| din | strace ./configure ? :) | 04:12 |
| Keyman009 | I will give that a try and see what it tells me. | 04:12 |

| holstein | there are torrents at http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ | 04:23 |
| dherly | does anybody knows any oracle channel? | 04:24 |
| Keyman009 | yea... strace isn't giving me anything that I can use. | 04:24 |
| din | Keyman009, hmm. | 04:24 |
| din | have you looked in the config script itself? | 04:25 |
| din | s/config/configure | 04:25 |
| holstein | dherly: you have tried /join #oracle i assume | 04:25 |
| histo | subcool: yeah | 04:26 |
| histo | subcool: just popped in | 04:26 |
| holstein | Keyman009: its a non-repo package, so if you can make it work, i would just make it work, and not worry about why its not seeing the deps | 04:26 |
| Keyman009 | din, I have, but it's a hard read for me.... | 04:26 |
| Keyman009 | holstein, I am looking to learn more about linux.... not really get an application working. | 04:26 |
| din | give me the link where you got it from | 04:27 |

| holstein | dherly: check the /topic, and register if you are not | 04:28 |
| histo | Keyman009: What application are you trying to install? | 04:29 |
| Keyman009 | snort 2.9.4.1 | 04:29 |
| din | Keyman009, have you tried the "--with-libpcap-libraries=DIR" option? | 04:29 |
| Keyman009 | it needs DAQ 2.0.0 as a prereq | 04:29 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: why not use the package? | 04:30 |
| histo | Keyman009: Any reason you can't use the version of snort int he repos? | 04:30 |
| subcool | histo, awesome- so- i got past that issue from yesterday, the grub stuff. Appears my grub is fine- whats going on is its stopping when coming to my /home folder i believe. and im not really sure how to google it. | 04:30 |
| histo | subcool: Did you encrypt your home folder during installation? | 04:30 |
| Keyman009 | I was told it was better to compile from source rather than use a package. | 04:30 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: apparently not, eh? | 04:30 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: it's also a really bad idea to have compiler tools on a machine that needs intrusion detection | 04:31 |
| histo | Keyman009: You should only be compiling from source if there is a feature missing in the package from the repos. They've been tested and are known working with your current setup. | 04:31 |
| Keyman009 | No... mneptok.. I can get this working... no problem. I just download the libpcap source and compile and install myself and I can get it going. | 04:31 |
| histo | Keyman009: Perhaps you should as the "snort" people on how to install their package then. | 04:32 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: then i guess you don't need help ;) | 04:32 |
| din | Keyman009, sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev bison flex | 04:32 |
| din | then configure worked for me. | 04:32 |
| Keyman009 | histo, I understand your point, but this what was told to me by a previous sourfire employee and snort expert. | 04:32 |
| Keyman009 | er that was sourcefire exployee | 04:32 |
| histo | Keyman009: then ask him for help. Or learn more about installing software | 04:32 |
| Keyman009 | histo that is exatly what I am trying to do. | 04:33 |
| histo | Keyman009: bad advice is still bad advice it doesn't matter who is giving it to you. | 04:33 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: i'd use the packaged version. and i was the first person Canonical hired to support Ubuntu commercially. :P | 04:33 |
| wayne__ | How can I back up my movies with linux ubuntu | 04:33 |
| Keyman009 | Um... that's coming 2nd level down from the maker of snort. | 04:33 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: you're better off asking that person, then. | 04:33 |
| Keyman009 | Marty Roesch is not exactly someone I can just call up :) | 04:34 |
| histo | wayne__: Where are they currently stored? | 04:34 |
| wayne__ | dvd and blu ray disks | 04:35 |
| bean | Snort is not very easy to get working correctly. | 04:35 |
| bean | I've done it | 04:35 |
| bean | but not in quite some time | 04:35 |
| subcool | histo, no- but its on a lvm | 04:35 |
| Keyman009 | I can want until I am in D.C. in June and ask Mike Poor.... but I was hoping to do this sooner than that. | 04:35 |
| histo | wayne__: put movie in drive... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/storage/nameofmovie.iso | 04:35 |
| subcool | histo, during install i pointed it to it, maybe it doesnt recognize lvm yet? - i have no clue. | 04:35 |
| din | Keyman009, pm. | 04:35 |
| histo | subcool: Wasn't root on lvm also? | 04:36 |
| Keyman009 | bean, again, I can get this software working.... I am not trying to get it to work. I am trying to understand why it doesn't work with the currelty installed libpcap the way it came from Ubuntu... thats all. | 04:36 |
| bean | Keyman009, that sounds like something you need to take up with the package maintainer | 04:36 |
| holstein | Keyman009: could be as simple as repackaging | 04:36 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: ask a Snort expert about libpcap version dependencies | 04:36 |
| Keyman009 | mneptok, I am trying to find one :) | 04:37 |
| subcool | histo, yea-.. im trying to chroot into it now- but i forget how to do it.. | 04:37 |
| subcool | my LVM is /dev/MyVG/Precise - thats root. | 04:37 |
| Dawn | I am a bonehead. I just repartitioned with gparted and made a new partition. Now I can't get to it. I forgot how to change permissions in terminal so I can get to /dev/cdb without having to be root. Help!! | 04:37 |
| mneptok | Keyman009: compiling from source is not something this channel encourages, especially when a packaged version exists | 04:37 |
| bean | um, /join #snort | 04:37 |
| bean | ? | 04:37 |
| subcool | histo my LVM is /dev/MyVG/Precise - thats root. | 04:37 |

| luck | mneptok: the one you show me mysql-server | 04:47 |
| mneptok | luck: but you installed mysql-server-5.5 | 04:47 |
| histo | luck: what were you trying when you received the error that brought you here in the first place? | 04:47 |
| Nanaharu | histo : the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current seems to work flawlessly, but ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize it at all... | 04:47 |
| mneptok | luck: now you're installing another package. you're going to have conflicts. | 04:47 |
| histo | Nanaharu: can you lscpi -k | pastebinit | 04:48 |
| luck | mneptok: that was before you told me | 04:48 |
| mneptok | luck: mysql-server is a metapackage for whatever the current version is. | 04:48 |
| histo | Nanaharu: sorry typo lspci -k | pastebinit | 04:48 |
| luck | histo: oh i am builting data base for a books which is an example from a book | 04:48 |
| TaMpeReN | anyone can tell me how to get connetfiy on ubuntu | 04:48 |
| luck | mneptok: i am done with downloading what to do next? | 04:48 |
| mneptok | luck: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.5 | 04:49 |

| luck | mneptok: i got this error message | 04:49 |
| luck | mysqladmin: CREATE DATABASE failed; error: 'Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'books'' | 04:49 |
| histo | ohboy | 04:50 |
| histo | luck: Did you create a mysql root password when installing mysql-server ? | 04:50 |
| luck | when i type mysqladmin create books | 04:50 |
| mneptok | luck: you need to login to the MySQL console as the MySQL root user | 04:50 |
| luck | histo: i did | 04:50 |
| TaMpeReN | dr_willis: it makes a hotspot , let me share internet to other devices | 04:50 |
| luck | mneptok: how?? | 04:50 |
| dr_willis | TaMpeReN: and thisis a linux app? a windows app? or what exactly? | 04:51 |
| luck | my books does not tell me about it | 04:51 |
| mneptok | luck: mysql -u root -p | 04:51 |
| histo | luck: aparently your book didn't tell you to install mysql-server either | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | TaMpeReN: keep it in the channel. | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | !ics > TaMpeReN | 04:51 |
| ubottu | TaMpeReN, please see my private message | 04:51 |
| mneptok | luck: you are also now asking for generic MySQL help, which is probably better suited to the #mysql channel. | 04:52 |
| luck | histo: yes | 04:52 |
| subcool | histo im here now | 04:52 |
| histo | subcool: any luck getting / mounted? | 04:53 |
| subcool | histo im on the laptop... - no... lsblk gave me nothing | 04:53 |
| luck | mneptok: got error ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 04:53 |
| Nanaharu | histo : I sent the pastebinit to a private msg | 04:53 |
| luck | mneptok: no my friend it is just an example from "linux all in one desk Reference for Dummies 2006" | 04:53 |
| histo | subcool: what? Are you on a livecd on the broken machine? Also I though you were just going to reinstall? | 04:54 |
| dr_willis | luck a 6 yr old tutorial -- may have issues. ;) | 04:54 |
| luck | dr_willis: you are so right | 04:54 |
| mneptok | luck: your questions now are about usage of MySQL, not Ubuntu. | 04:54 |
| luck | mneptok: Oops sorry | 04:54 |
| histo | Nanaharu: did you reboot after installing nvidia-current | 04:54 |
| subcool | histo: i did reinstall- im on a livusb, but its giving me issues, it wont install like anything, i cant install xchat, extras' or pastebinit | 04:54 |
| mneptok | luck: it's better to ask in a dedicated MySQL channel or forum | 04:54 |
| luck | mneptok: tell me where to go | 04:54 |
| * mneptok twitches ... | 04:55 | |
| Nanaharu | histo : no... ha ha lemme do that~ | 04:55 |
| mneptok | luck: #mysql | 04:55 |
| luck | thanks mneptok | 04:55 |
| histo | Nanaharu: Are you able to get to a graphical environment right now or are you stuck in cli? | 04:55 |
| histo | subcool: what sort of errors do youg et when you try and install something? | 04:56 |
| Nanaharu | histo : after the reboot my system seems to be kind of funky and not load. I don't get the docks or the taskbar at the top and it's not using my full screen | 04:57 |
| histo | luck: Keep in mind a lot has changed since 2006 | 04:57 |
| luck | histo: okie | 04:57 |
| subcool | histo: Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package pastebinit | 04:57 |
| luck | i got another question my friends | 04:57 |
| histo | Nanaharu: ahh well it's still using the nouveau driver. You can try using the jocket-text tool to install additional drivers | 04:57 |
| histo | Nanaharu: I would purge nvidia-current first | 04:57 |
| dr_willis | TaMpeReN: keep it in the channel... i may have to leave at any time. | 04:58 |
| histo | Nanaharu: then try jocket-text see which driver it wants to install for your card. | 04:58 |
| luck | mneptok: I heard that I can connect to other linux computer under same wifi or other place | 04:58 |
| Nanaharu | How do I get to the terminal? And I've read that in 12.10 using Jockey will mess up the system? | 04:58 |
| luck | is that true? | 04:58 |
| histo | subcool: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 04:58 |
| histo | luck: what ssh? | 04:58 |
| dr_willis | Nanaharu: 12.10 dosent really have jocky any more. its been redone.. and it worked fine for me. | 04:59 |

| subcool | i used unetboot to instlal this liveusb.. :/ | 05:00 |
| histo | subcool: Can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:00 |
| histo | subcool: Wait I'm confused now. Which can you not install packages on? The USB or your computer? | 05:00 |
| subcool | histo: usb | 05:01 |
| Nanaharu | histo : when I press ctrl alt f1 my screen goes black and I can't type? | 05:01 |
| histo | Nanaharu: YOu should have a login prompt on the upper left of the screen? | 05:01 |
| Nanaharu | There is no prompt. Just a flashing underscore. | 05:02 |
| Dii_Pundiih | Hi. I have booted in to a two x screen setup and x starts alright but no desktop or panel loads... When i try to start with compiz --replace or lxpanel it says that: Cannot find display..? what would be sensible to do now? | 05:02 |
| histo | subcool: So you are booting to a USB which has ubuntu installed to it? And you want to install packages right? | 05:02 |
| histo | Nanaharu: try F2 | 05:02 |
| subcool | histo: correct | 05:02 |
| subcool | histo: but- just so i can fix the laptop | 05:02 |
| histo | Nanaharu: if not ctrl+alt+t in GUI will open terminal | 05:02 |
| TaMpeReN | how to do !tab on pidgin? | 05:03 |
| histo | subcool: What version of ubuntu did you install to the usb? | 05:03 |
| Nanaharu | histo : now what's the command to purge nvidia current? | 05:03 |
| TaMpeReN | !tab test | 05:03 |
| histo | Nanaharu: sudo apt-get purge nivdia-current | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | TaMpeReN: ! commands are bot triggers. hit the tab key to autocomplete nicks in most clients | 05:03 |
| histo | TaMpeReN: ctrl+shift+t maybe? ask in #pidgin | 05:03 |
| subcool | histo: 12.04.1 | 05:04 |
| ALeon_ | Hello. | 05:04 |
| histo | !info pastebinit precise | 05:04 |

| histo | subcool: you need the universe repo enabled in sources.list | 05:04 |
| TaMpeReN | k i go #pidgin ty | 05:04 |
| Nanaharu | histo : do I need to reboot after purging? and then how do I use the jocket method? is there a guid or is it a simple line of code ^.^? | 05:04 |
| histo | subcool: IS this a modern laptop? | 05:04 |
| subcool | histo: yes | 05:05 |
| mneptok | Nanaharu: do you *require* 3D? | 05:05 |
| subcool | histo: ok- ill open up software manager | 05:05 |
| histo | Nanaharu: no need to reboot. in the terminal type jockey-text The GUI way in 12.10 is to go to system settings > software sources > hardware tab | 05:05 |
| histo | subcool: Does it use EFI? | 05:05 |
| subcool | histo: honestly- i dont know what that is | 05:06 |
| histo | subcool: Alright well lets fix one problem at a time. What is wrong with the laptop right now? | 05:06 |
| Nanaharu | mneptok : I plan on using 3D rendering software, do you mean that? or do you mean like 3D cinema type 3D? | 05:06 |
| subcool | histo: yae, that did it | 05:07 |
| mneptok | Nanaharu: i mean, "why not use the nouveau driver instead of the proprietary nVidia driver?" | 05:07 |
| histo | mneptok: performance in the nouveau driver is subpar for most peoople. | 05:07 |
| mneptok | histo: it seems on Nanaharu's machine, the proprietary driver is far more sub-par. ;) | 05:08 |
| Nanaharu | histo : so I just apt-get the jockey-common? and this works in 12.10 now? | 05:08 |
| histo | mneptok: true | 05:08 |
| histo | Nanaharu: No I told you... You can use jockey-text or "GUI" way go to System Settings > Software Sources > Hardware Tab | 05:09 |
| subcool | histo: during boot, it see the ubuntu gear, then it drops out to busybox. | 05:09 |
| histo | Nanaharu: system settings can be called via gnome-control-center | 05:10 |
| histo | subcool: any errors? | 05:10 |
| mneptok | subcool: can you test the USB stick on another machine? | 05:10 |
| Nanaharu | histo : I can't use the gui because after I rebooted, I only get a small screen with no dock or taskbar... so it seems like I'm stuck with terminal. | 05:10 |
| subcool | mneptok: sure- but ill lose my install, its appears not to be perisitant | 05:11 |
| subcool | histo: not that i can see- i can pastbein dmesg ? | 05:11 |
| luck | histo: I don't know what to read for SSH ; please give me some advise | 05:11 |
| mneptok | subcool: if you can't boot, what does persistence matter? | 05:12 |
| histo | subcool: paste the /var/log/syslog from the laptop's / | 05:13 |
| Nanaharu | histo : so I was able to make it to the software sources. I went to additional drivers but it says that no proprietary drivers are in use. | 05:13 |
| subcool | histo: haha- uh... i still have to mount the root | 05:13 |
| histo | subcool: and /var/log/boot.log maybe of some use. | 05:13 |
| coolroot | i can't access my usb stick it says it has to be root to access how can i do that? | 05:14 |
| histo | subcool: yeah running dmesg on the usb will just output the syslog of the usb instance | 05:14 |
| histo | !sudo | coolroot | 05:14 |
| ubottu | coolroot: 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 | 05:14 |
| subcool | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5595121/ | 05:14 |
| mneptok | subcool: test the stick on another machine. you've already lost any customizations when you rebooted/shut down. | 05:14 |
| histo | Nanaharu: right none are in use now. You want to activate one. | 05:14 |
| subcool | mneptok: at that rate- ill just make a new livusb with persistant | 05:15 |
| histo | subcool: is that from the USB? | 05:15 |
| Nanaharu | histo : how do I activate one? there are no options. | 05:15 |
| subcool | histo: mneptok ill do that now anyways | 05:15 |
| subcool | histo: i suppose.. | 05:15 |
| subcool | histo: i havent mounted the laptops root yet | 05:15 |
| histo | subcool: You are confusing the hell out of me right now. Pick one install that you want to fix. Either the one installed on the laptop drive or the usb. | 05:15 |
| subcool | histo: laptop- thats what i care about | 05:16 |
| histo | subcool: Yeah that log is completely useless then for fixing the "laptop" | 05:16 |
| histo | subcool: you need to mount the laptop's root partition. | 05:16 |
| subcool | histo: i posted what ihad access too | 05:16 |
| subcool | histo: ya- it errored . remember? ill do it again and show you | 05:16 |
| histo | subcool: paste output of lsblk if that doesn't work paste out put of sudo fdisk -l | 05:16 |
| histo | Nanaharu: does it list any drivers? You click one and click enable | 05:16 |

| Nanaharu | histo : so I got jockey, I should be able to just activate all the drivers now? I have a NVIDIA GTX 680 FTW I don't think it's a hybrid | 05:20 |

| histo | TaMpeReN: did you make sure that the forwarding is set to on? | 05:24 |
| histo | TaMpeReN: sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" this step is very important | 05:25 |
| TaMpeReN | histo: GUI Method via Network Manager (Ubuntu 12.04) i followed this only | 05:25 |
| subcool | histo: this last one was wtih unetboot | 05:25 |
| subcool | histo: i had used yumi - but it crapped out | 05:25 |
| subcool | histo: for simplicity, im going to create a new one- ill brb.. | 05:25 |
| histo | subcool: Okay when you areinstalling why are you creating all these jacked up partitions? rather than just letting the installer partition your drive? | 05:25 |
| histo | subcool: The thumb drive is not the issue | 05:26 |
| Nanaharu | How do you run a program under roots permission? | 05:26 |
| histo | Nanaharu: sudo programname | 05:26 |
| subcool | histo: because it has my home directoy on it- and its too large to move | 05:26 |
| Nanaharu | histo : oh okay lol that was easy~ Thanks | 05:26 |
| histo | subcool: Do you have a bunch of files saved there? | 05:26 |
| subcool | histo: your right- but when i reboot to chcek if it is ok- ill lose all of what i just installed to check on the drive.. | 05:26 |
| subcool | histo: YES | 05:26 |
| subcool | histo: its a couple years old at this point- its rather imporrant | 05:26 |
| histo | subcool: Okay so then why do you have 4 partitions in addition to your /home | 05:27 |
| subcool | subcool: i use to have a 500gb backup- but my x' stole it- so im working with what i got | 05:27 |
| subcool | histo: i was working with TJ- and he crated a root, var, tmp - then home | 05:27 |
| subcool | histo: i had the history, but that usb crapped out. | 05:27 |
| histo | subcool: and this is just a desktop machine? Your not using the laptop as a server right. | 05:28 |
| subcool | histo: this is a mobile laptop, i use it for a lot of things.. | 05:28 |
| subcool | histo: my desktop server is- hurting.... | 05:28 |
| histo | subcool: perhaps someone more familiar with LVM can help. I dont' know why "TJ" had you create all those seperate partitions on a desktop install. | 05:28 |
| subcool | histo: ive been looking for help with lvm.. but no one is about- and if i recall TJ was always in this group- | 05:29 |
| histo | subcool: I suspect the issue is from / not getting mounted properly on boot | 05:29 |
| subcool | histo: my laptop when working has a full list of irc i work with- | 05:29 |
| subcool | histo: well, it boots fine- | 05:29 |
| histo | What boots fine? | 05:29 |
| subcool | the laptop- | 05:29 |
| histo | Then wth | 05:30 |
| histo | So what is the issue then? | 05:30 |
| subcool | but when it get to .. login- it bails to busybox | 05:30 |
| RiXtEr | subcool, so your X isn't stating? | 05:30 |
| RiXtEr | *starting | 05:30 |
| histo | subcool: So then it isn't booting fine. | 05:30 |
| subcool | RiXtEr: basically? hard to say.. | 05:30 |
| subcool | histo: well after attacking the grub- i say it boots | 05:31 |
| RiXtEr | subcool, at a $ try startx | 05:31 |
| histo | subcool: I though you were able to click ont he partitions in nautilus on and mount the drives earlier rigth? | 05:31 |
| RiXtEr | he's gone. | 05:31 |

| geomyidae | Nanaharu: sudo ./NVIDIA... | 05:32 |
| subcool | i just moved ... | 05:32 |
| geomyidae | Nanaharu: also, you're better off installing those drivers through the repositrories. | 05:32 |
| histo | subcool_: okay well after they are mounted via file manager. you can opena terminal type in mount it will show you where they are mounted. Then you can sudo chroot /path/to/what/mount/said | 05:32 |
| subcool | histo, im fixing that usb.. | 05:32 |

| subcool | histo, sunday- i came home from a trip, and my networking went to hell. so after you helped me with that and a couple other peope. and nothign worked. i just reinstalled it | 05:33 |

| subcool | give me a couple - iim making a new lisb usn | 05:34 |
| subcool | liveusb | 05:34 |
| histo | subcool: When you reinstall it. How are you telling the partitioner about your partitions? | 05:34 |
| histo | subcool: That is the entire problem ^^^ | 05:35 |
| subcool | i manually goto each parition click change and direct them to the partition. | 05:35 |
| histo | subcool: I would try just using / and /home make sure you tell it not to format /home | 05:35 |
| subcool | histo, that shoulda have done it- it boots, but.. my guess is home. but imjust guess. | 05:35 |
| subcool | histo, right- thats what i;ve been doing about home. | 05:36 |
| histo | subcool: To ease in the troubleshooting. atleast. Then you can eliminate /var /tmp etc... | 05:36 |
| histo | subcool: /home should be the only one you tell it not to format | 05:36 |
| subcool | histo, give me like 10 mins.. ill brb.... | 05:36 |

| subcool | histo, ofcourse it would- um i boot into the liveusb, and install the lvm - then click install to HDD | 05:38 |

| Nanaharu | histo : i tried the sh, it says that it can't open T.T I don't understand why it's so hard to install this driver | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | Nanaharu: chmod +x the. run first? be sure yiur cASe of words is right... | 05:51 |
| jeem | anyway, i am trying to setup a vpn, i am in bt5r3 , i don't know if i can get support for that here? | 05:51 |

| dr_willis | Nanaharu: if they are in your /home/Username/Downloads directory you can do..... | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | cd ~/Downloads | 05:56 |
| histo | Onixs: Here's an easy way if you don't want to do it the normal way http://askubuntu.com/questions/46646/how-to-edit-iso-images-including-bootable-isos#46647 | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | ls (to see the files, you should see that whatever.run) | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | chmod +x whatever.run | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | sudo ./whatever.run | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | Nanaharu: you most likely will need to not be in the X desktop/GUI to install the .run file.. 'sudo service lightdm stop' will close out X. and get you to the consoel. where you need to login, and do the commands | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | the .run drivers are not guarentted to work. | 05:57 |
| histo | Nanaharu: you can use the tab key to autocomplete names int eh terminal also like chmod +x Nvidia<tab> | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | i thought the xswat ppa had newer nvidia drivers also. but i never use that ppa | 05:58 |
| Nanaharu | dr_willis : the guide I was trying to follow said I shout turn of my desktop | 05:58 |
| histo | Nanaharu: everything is case sensitive | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | Nanaharu: thats what 'sudo service lightdm stop' does.. closes X totally | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | instsall drivers.. then reboot via 'sudo reboot' | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | and hope it works | 05:58 |
| histo | dr_willis: atleast you can sudo ./Nvidia_garbage.run --uninstall | 05:59 |

| histo | !offline | evilytwisted | 05:59 |
| ubottu | evilytwisted: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: make sure the cd is not in your sources listing. | 05:59 |
| evilytwisted | how do i do that? | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: what do you mean by install from a usb thimbdisk also? you got the .deb on a flash drive? and no networking? | 06:00 |
| Nanaharu | dr_willis : okay now that it closed my x desktop how do I type commands here? the same way as the terminal? | 06:00 |
| histo | zentyal with no networking seems completely pointles | 06:00 |
| histo | Nanaharu: yeap | 06:00 |
| evilytwisted | no... i used unetbootin to "burn" an iso to a thumbdisk | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | Nanaharu: yes.. it IS a terminal | 06:00 |
| histo | !zentyal | evilytwisted | 06:00 |
| ubottu | evilytwisted: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 06:00 |
| evilytwisted | Yeah im aware of that.. | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: so how does that relate to installing zentyal? you are installing it on a live-usb setup? | 06:01 |
| histo | evilytwisted: okay then you edit your software sources enable whatever repo zentyal is in and sudo apt-get install zentyal | 06:01 |
| evilytwisted | live usb setup Im not for sure.. i just dl the file from the websiute | 06:01 |
| evilytwisted | mount it.. | 06:01 |
| histo | !info zentyal | 06:01 |

| histo | !info ebox | 06:02 |
| evilytwisted | Its a stand alone package | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Package ebox does not exist in quantal | 06:02 |

| evilytwisted | http://www.zentyal.org/ | 06:02 |

| dr_willis | what exacctly did you download... | 06:02 |
| evilytwisted | http://www.zentyal.org/downloads/ | 06:02 |
| evilytwisted | its a iso file | 06:02 |
| evilytwisted | WHich i used unetbootin or something like that.. to burn it to a usb thumbdrive.. | 06:03 |
| histo | evilytwisted: read this page please http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/Installation/InstallationGuide | 06:03 |
| histo | evilytwisted: it tells you how to add the zentyal repo and install it | 06:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: what exactly is zentyal? | 06:04 |
| evilytwisted | histo IM not asking to install repos.. Nor packages.. Im using a spare box .. thats completly empty | 06:04 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: web based admin of a machine. | 06:04 |
| evilytwisted | has no os.. No nothing on it atm | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | theres no need to use the iso.. use the packages.. | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | you dont need to install it 'from scratch' | 06:04 |
| histo | evilytwisted: Okay well you can't install zentyal to potato | 06:04 |
| evilytwisted | then whats with the iso image | 06:05 |
| evilytwisted | it said i can put it on a usb drive.. | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | its for 'from scratch' installs... | 06:05 |
| evilytwisted | or cd | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | so i imagine its source code | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | look at whats in the iso file and see.. if you want | 06:05 |
| histo | dr_willis: yeah there is a bootable iso on their page | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | their use of the term 'from scratch' is very vague. ;) | 06:06 |

| histo | evilytwisted: Because it has cdrom entries in /etc/apt/sources.list you really should be asking in some zentyal support as this has nothing to do with ubuntu | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: so you have ubuntu allready installed? or no os at all? | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | Apoptosis, best to use win7 tools for win7 OS | 06:07 |
| histo | dr_willis: He's using zentyal's distro | 06:08 |
| evilytwisted | i have nothing on the box that i want to install zentyal on | 06:08 |
| histo | evilytwisted: you need to comment out the cdrom entries in /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | evilytwisted: that usb will basically install 'zentyals' own os then.. not ubuntu from what im seeing.. not ubuntu | 06:08 |
| cfhowlett | Apoptosis, upon reinstalling win7, you'll write over grub and ubuntu will be gone. reinstall grub to get it back | 06:08 |
| histo | !derivatives | evilytwisted | 06:08 |
| ubottu | evilytwisted: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 06:08 |
| evilytwisted | Its not a derivative.. what i heard its prety much a ubuntu 12.0.4 server | 06:08 |
| evilytwisted | but ty histo | 06:09 |
| dr_willis | if you want 12.04 server.. then install 12.04 server. and use the zenytal packages in the repos/ppa | 06:09 |
| Apoptosis | cfhowlett: are you familiar with any win7 reinstall tools in particular | 06:09 |
| histo | evilytwisted: Okay then edit your sources.list | 06:09 |
| cfhowlett | Apoptosis, you have the win7 cdrom/usb, right? all tools are there | 06:10 |
| histo | Apoptosis: did you install win7 after ubuntu? | 06:10 |
| Apoptosis | cfhowlett: yes I was going to use that after wiping the partition | 06:10 |
| Apoptosis | histo: my bunk win7 was on there first | 06:10 |
| cfhowlett | Apoptosis, or use win7 to format the partition. either way works | 06:11 |
| histo | Apoptosis: just keep in mind you have to reinstall grub after installing winblows | 06:11 |
| Apoptosis | histo: what's the best way to do that if I can't get into ubuntu? Not sure what to expect | 06:12 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Apoptosis: live cd ubuntu plus boot repair | 06:12 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: you added a ppa for skype? | 06:30 |
| jacob_ | Yes | 06:31 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: better yet, do you know how to use pastbin? | 06:33 |
| akamikeym | jacob_, if you've got synaptic installed just open it and check under repositories in settings | 06:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | akamikeym: derp, yeah that | 06:33 |
| akamikeym | jacob_, but first open sources on the left hand side and select the skype repo and make sure to remove any installed packages | 06:34 |
| jacob_ | Not sure never heard of the pastbin, I can install the synaptic | 06:34 |
| akamikeym | Assuming that's what yuo want to do | 06:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: pastebin is a website that lets you post documents for quick reference to others. | 06:34 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, pastbin is a nice feature to have sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 06:35 |

I managed to get it bigger in menu and tabbs but it is still so verry small in terminal and window manager that i think there must be some | 06:35 |
| jirido | over all setting someware.. is it so? | 06:35 |
| l057c0d3r | so then you can run something like oh sudo apt-get update | pastebinit | 06:35 |
| l057c0d3r | and it will give you a url with the output that was given from that command so people like us on here can help you better | 06:35 |

| jacob_ | Oh yeah ok and i will get it now | 06:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: you mean I can pastebin from the terminal? I'm hooked | 06:35 |
| l057c0d3r | wait.. ntzrmtthihu777 your kidding right.. i thought you new that | 06:36 |

| l057c0d3r | oh.. thought i seen you in here helping others yesterday | 06:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Yeah, that was me :D but I am by no means an expert | 06:37 |
| geomyidae | Can y'all think of any reason that lxappearance would look different ( a few diff icons ) on two computers when I have the *same* icon theme chosen on each? | 06:37 |
| leptone | anyone know of a good article for installing sun jdk 6/7 on 12.04? | 06:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | leptone: yup, I know the exact one | 06:37 |
| cfhowlett | !java|leptone, | 06:37 |
| ubottu | leptone,: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 06:37 |

| jacob_ | Ok i am in synaptic and in origin | 06:39 |
| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, great thx. does th is install6 as well? | 06:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yeah, 6 7 or 8, as you please | 06:40 |
| l057c0d3r | ntzrmtthihu777, you ever try the netflix desktop ppa yet? | 06:41 |
| jacob_ | Akamikeym I am not sure what i am to do next in here | 06:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: not a member of netflix, don't use it. | 06:41 |
| l057c0d3r | ah i see | 06:41 |
| l057c0d3r | was amazed with how well it actually works | 06:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: dey makin dis hard. do you remember how you installed the wrapper? | 06:41 |
| developemt | woooo | 06:41 |
| akamikeym | jacob_, once you've got synaptic installed and you've found your skype ppa under *origin* and removed the installed packages, you can go into Settings>Repositories and Other Software tab and untick the skype ppa to temporarily disable it or select it and select remove to completely remove it | 06:41 |
| l057c0d3r | and pithos.. ahh a free pandora desktop app with add free listening.. now thats what im talking about | 06:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: I usually prefer local media as my internet access comes and goes in spurts | 06:42 |
| l057c0d3r | akamikeym.. missed out on half his problem.. could ppa-purge help better maybe | 06:42 |
| l057c0d3r | undo everything that was added / upgraded by the ppa.. uncheck it auto ext... | 06:43 |
| jacob_ | Yeah i do its sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skype-wrapper/ppa | 06:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: ok, do ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 06:44 |
| l057c0d3r | :-( i feel you all are doing it the hard way | 06:44 |
| akamikeym | <l057c0d3r> I guess so. | 06:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: ok, but do you remember how you installed it? | 06:44 |
| akamikeym | But he doesn't know it's name | 06:44 |
| akamikeym | He can just look at all the ppa's in synaptic till he sees the package for skype | 06:45 |
| l057c0d3r | yeah.. open synaptic.. go into settings - repositorys | 06:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and maybe uninstall skype itself by mistake? | 06:45 |
| l057c0d3r | look for the ppa.. find it.. write it down | 06:45 |
| l057c0d3r | sudo apt-get install ppa-purge | 06:46 |
| l057c0d3r | sudo ppa-purge "ppa link" | 06:46 |
| jacob_ | Yeah in the termanil they it was that sudo add-apt, then sudo apt-get update then it was sudo apt-get install skype-wrapper | 06:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: sudo apt-get purge skype-wrapper | 06:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: akamikeym: dude is trying to get rid of something, seems excessive to add on in order to remove | 06:47 |
| jacob_ | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 06:47 |
| jacob_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? This is what came up | 06:47 |
| l057c0d3r | right.. but ppa purge is a great tool to have on hand | 06:47 |
| l057c0d3r | might come in handy in the future as well | 06:47 |
| geomyidae | Unless installing the skype wrapper broke things, there is no reason to purge the PPA. | 06:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: close synaptic, try again | 06:47 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, its because you have synaptic opens till | 06:47 |
| geomyidae | In fact, why bother removing it? Purging isn't even necessary | 06:47 |
| jacob_ | Yeah i for got that was going ok thats done | 06:48 |
| akamikeym | geomyidae, good housekeeping? | 06:48 |
| dubbypca | my 12.04 recently chrashs in kernelpanic. if someone could point out the problem by viewing the crahs screen, here are 2 pictures of my screen: http://carmohn.de/IMG-20130307-00551.jpg http://carmohn.de/IMG-20130307-00552.jpg | 06:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: ok, ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 06:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: then use sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/name_of_ppa here, based on what you see in ls | 06:50 |
| l057c0d3r | dubbypca, have you reciently upgraded to a newer version of the kernel | 06:50 |
| jacob_ | OK i did that after i pressed enter it says ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 06:50 |
| dubbypca | l057c0d3r: i did | 06:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 06:51 |
| l057c0d3r | and crashes started right after that right | 06:51 |
| l057c0d3r | i would try booting into an older kernel if you can and see if it works | 06:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: should give him that option at the grub menu unless he removed the old kernals | 06:52 |
| jacob_ | No such file or directory | 06:52 |
| === elena_IK is now known as elena-IK | ||
| l057c0d3r | depending on your system the new kernel may not be compatible with your system... | 06:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: use tab-completion to get the right name | 06:52 |
| dubbypca | it crashs garuanteed when i play videos, render 3D (on cpu) | 06:53 |
| l057c0d3r | oh but it boots.. | 06:53 |
| l057c0d3r | just crashes on videos 3d rendering ext | 06:53 |
| dubbypca | not only, but .... quicker | 06:53 |
| jacob_ | What? tab-completion? i don't know what that is | 06:53 |
| dubbypca | chrashes are happening since i moved from 11 to 12 | 06:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: when typing a command in terminal or a file name you can hit tab andit will fill out the rest for you depending on available options. | 06:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | so for example: sudo apt-g<tab> i<tab> will yield sudo apt-get install | 06:54 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, do you have a binary driver installed for your video card ? | 06:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: wrong person, lol | 06:55 |
| l057c0d3r | bah sorry | 06:55 |
| l057c0d3r | dubbypca, | 06:55 |
| l057c0d3r | its been a long day | 06:55 |
| jacob_ | Through the additional driver? | 06:55 |
| l057c0d3r | sorry jacob_ was ment for dubbypca | 06:55 |
| jacob_ | and its not working ntzrmtthihu777 | 06:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: wrong person, focus :P | 06:56 |
| l057c0d3r | sigh i need to focus mysel | 06:56 |
| l057c0d3r | f | 06:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 06:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | exactly like that | 06:56 |
| l057c0d3r | bay sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-w* | 06:57 |
| l057c0d3r | bay sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-w*.* | 06:57 |
| jacob_ | Lol ok and also I don't have any clue why i am having troubles, with this but yeah the tab-completion is not working | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | perhaps just look in the direcgtory to see what files are there, ;) | 06:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: I don't see why it would not, type sudo rm /e<tab> and see if it makes etc | 06:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dr_willis: we did, lol. he got /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | cd to the dir, and move them to /root/ ;) | 06:58 |
| === matthewv- is now known as matthewvz | ||
| l057c0d3r | well if its the only think in there then sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 06:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: true. jacob_ did it say anything else? | 06:59 |
| === matthewvz is now known as Guest53561 | ||
| jacob_ | Yes it made etc and no | 06:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I mean when you did ls | 06:59 |
| l057c0d3r | it made etc tab completion is working :-) | 06:59 |
| jacob_ | Plus when i go in to the dash it doesn't have the settings for skype wrapper anymore. | 07:00 |
| l057c0d3r | hi dr_willis | 07:00 |
| dubbypca | l057c0d3r: i tried nvidia driver, now its uninstalled to try legacy, but tha makes no difference to crashs | 07:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: yeah because purge got rid of it, you just needa get rid of the unneeded ppa | 07:00 |
| jacob_ | Oh yeah understandable. | 07:01 |
| l057c0d3r | dubbypca, do you have an older kernel installed you can boot into and see how it works.. | 07:01 |
| l057c0d3r | also do you have linux-headers-generic installed | 07:01 |
| dubbypca | will make no difference, since problems also were with first kernels installed with 12.04 | 07:02 |
| === Guest53561 is now known as matthewvz | ||
| l057c0d3r | hmm... let me think | 07:02 |
| jacob_ | yeah when i did the sudo rm this is what comes after rm: cannot remove `/etc/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list': No such file or directory | 07:02 |
| dubbypca | i must check headers, its not the machine im on now. | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | jacob_: its /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: what dr_willis said | 07:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 07:03 |
| jacob_ | Awww ok | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | then ''ls' to see whats there | 07:03 |
| kaustubh | I came across this question in UNIX google plus community "How to login using ssh with stored password in config file or as a parameter, since i dont want to use sshkeygen , expect, sshpass ?" Does anyone have clue? | 07:04 |

| litropy | ntzrmtthihu777, running sensors:No sensors found! | 07:06 |
| l057c0d3r | grimhound not sure about xubuntu.. but check in the settings for startup applications and just uncheck the blueman . | 07:06 |
| jacob_ | still saying the same thing | 07:06 |
| litropy | ntzrmtthihu777, sensors-detect, yes to all: No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. | 07:06 |
| Onixs | histo can you link me again with that "mkisofs" | 07:06 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | litropy: do you even have internal sensors? not all machines have the same sensors or even have them at all | 07:06 |
| Onixs | was it you or dr_willis | 07:07 |
| jacob_ | or it says bash: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list: No such file or directory | 07:07 |
| litropy | ntzrmtthihu777, it's a cheap, old computer. I guess not. | 07:07 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | litropy: there you go. | 07:07 |
| Grimhound | What is the command to restart the GUI in Xubuntu? | 07:07 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, type cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:07 |
| l057c0d3r | type ls | 07:07 |
| l057c0d3r | if nothing appears then its gone | 07:07 |
| l057c0d3r | if skype shows in there then from where you are | 07:08 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Grimhound: startx, maybe? | 07:08 |
| litropy | ntzrmtthihu777, it's surprising, though. I guess the fan is just running a constant speed, huh? Is there a way to tell it to go faster? | 07:08 |
| l057c0d3r | make sure its the /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 07:08 |
| l057c0d3r | type rm * | 07:08 |
| l057c0d3r | well sudo rm * | 07:08 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | litropy: depends on the hardware, and I have not a clue there. | 07:08 |
| l057c0d3r | litropy, its not uncommmon.. like this computer... its new.. and the only censor it has if for cpu temp | 07:09 |
| l057c0d3r | blah sensor | 07:09 |
| * [Saint] would expect any reasonable recent mobo to have CPU_TEMP | 07:09 | |
| [Saint] | *reasonably | 07:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: hell all I have is a pci temp | 07:10 |
| [Saint] | Most will have seperate CPU_TEMP and SYS_TEMP | 07:10 |
| litropy | sudo pwmconfig | 07:10 |
| litropy | lol I just used my IRC client as a terminal. Man. It really is late. lol. | 07:10 |

| l057c0d3r | jacob_, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 07:11 |

| Grimhound | Whoever said "startx" should be banned | 07:11 |
| Grimhound | I now have to do a hard reformat thanks to that | 07:12 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Grimhound: that was me, and it starts the gui on my system. | 07:12 |
| l057c0d3r | ntzrmtthihu777, using irssi are u | 07:12 |
| litropy | Grimhound, seriously? what happened? | 07:12 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: yes, we had this discussion the other day | 07:12 |
| l057c0d3r | reformat ??? no just a reset | 07:12 |
| l057c0d3r | and not a hard reset | 07:12 |
| l057c0d3r | try alf f3 | 07:12 |
| histo | Grimhound: if xubuntu is using lightdm you can restart that service. sudo restart lightdm | 07:13 |
| Grimhound | It locked me out of my main user name and reset everything to some factory default | 07:13 |
| l057c0d3r | to get into a different terminal screen | 07:13 |
| jacob_ | what should come up? | 07:13 |
| l057c0d3r | login and do sudo reboot | 07:13 |
| histo | Grimhound: No it didn't | 07:13 |
| Grimhound | Yes it did | 07:13 |
| histo | Grimhound: exit X | 07:13 |

| [Saint] | Grimhound: wtf?!? | 07:13 |
| histo | Grimhound: well I can assure you startx didn't do that. | 07:13 |
| [Saint] | that's REALLY not expected behaviour. | 07:13 |
| Grimhound | StartX did do it | 07:13 |
| dr_willis | startx most likely did not do it... | 07:13 |
| litropy | Grimhound, it's possible you just need to switch to your other window manager. | 07:13 |
| Grimhound | StartX was the only thing I did | 07:13 |
| l057c0d3r | grimhound from a different tty screen it should have | 07:13 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | startx should not do all of dat, startx does exactly what it says. | 07:14 |
| [Saint] | It isn;t anyone's fault for suggesting it, that's abnormal. | 07:14 |

| l057c0d3r | yep.. now that you are where you need to be do ls | 07:14 |
| Grimhound | I wanted to restart XFCE | 07:15 |

| LikwidNarkotix | startx ? | 07:15 |
| histo | [Saint]: because the alternatives are horrible | 07:15 |
| l057c0d3r | hey now Saint... we were all new at one point in time | 07:16 |
| histo | Grimhound: Why did you want to restart XFCE in the first place what was the problem? I think that is your answer as to why you are having issues. | 07:16 |
| l057c0d3r | and histo windows 7 was not that bad actually | 07:16 |
| l057c0d3r | they've made great imporvements | 07:16 |
| histo | l057c0d3r: then /j #windows | 07:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: blech, are you trolling? you must be trolling *chuckle* | 07:16 |
| histo | l057c0d3r: Yes the adware and viruses are wonderful | 07:16 |
| l057c0d3r | hey i didnt say that.... | 07:17 |
| jacob_ | Don't i use the sudo rm command now? | 07:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: yeah, on the right file. | 07:17 |
| l057c0d3r | as a system its not bad though.. its the fact that the common user has no idea how to keep them clean.... people like to just "oh look free smilies: | 07:17 |
| histo | l057c0d3r: It's insecure and offtopic | 07:17 |
| l057c0d3r | sorry | 07:18 |
| histo | s/insecure/unsecure/ | 07:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: the biggest risk to a system is between the keyboard and chair, not in the machine. | 07:18 |
| jacob_ | This would be the correct file right? jacob-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-wrapper-ppa-quantal.list | 07:18 |
| * l057c0d3r hands histo a chill pill.... | 07:18 | |
| l057c0d3r | k back to what i was doing | 07:18 |
| l057c0d3r | yes jacob_ | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | jacob_: if you are in the same direcgtory as the file you dont need the full path | 07:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: you would not need all that in front, just the file name | 07:18 |
| [Saint] | My SO still occasionally gets tricked, whilst using Ubuntu, by flashing Aero-themes "You have a virus! Fix it at www.virusriddensite.com" popups :) | 07:19 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: and that is far more than he needed. stuff like that scares folk away from linux | 07:20 |
| l057c0d3r | shubbar have you went into the sound settings and selected it.. | 07:20 |
| l057c0d3r | you have to select the hdmi output | 07:20 |
| l057c0d3r | it does not auto switch over. | 07:20 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: but easier for them to just copy and paste | 07:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: copypasta is windows mentality. better to learn. | 07:20 |
| jacob_ | it doesn't give me the directory | 07:20 |

| [Saint] | teching cpoy+paste == bad. | 07:20 |
| l057c0d3r | yeah but histo's line if copy pasted would work wonders | 07:20 |
| [Saint] | *teaching, even. | 07:20 |
| histo | jacob_: pwd will show you what directory you are in. | 07:21 |
| l057c0d3r | yeah hers a nice loop for you to copy :{}]{}{l; | 07:21 |
| shubbar | Any advice on how to get sound with HDMI output? | 07:21 |
| l057c0d3r | well thats not really it. but dont try it | 07:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: you are evil, lol. | 07:21 |
| histo | jacob_: cd /path/to/directory/you/want so cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ will change directory to the proper one. then you can sudo rm skype<tab> press the tab key for auto completion. | 07:21 |
| jacob_ | /etc/apt/sources.list.d$ pwd /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 07:21 |
| geomyidae | That's a good way to get banned or booted from #ubuntu | 07:21 |
| [Saint] | shubbar: you probably missed it, but were given an answer. | 07:21 |
| geomyidae | also, that doesn't look right anyway | 07:22 |
| [Saint] | You actually need to tell your system to use the HDMI out for sound. | 07:22 |
| l057c0d3r | that's because its not right | 07:22 |
| histo | jacob_: pwd by itself nothing after it. IT wil print out the directory you are in. Print Working Directory pwd | 07:22 |
| l057c0d3r | i would not copy a working bomb here.. i like helping peeps | 07:22 |
| histo | !who | geomyidae | 07:22 |
| ubottu | geomyidae: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 07:22 |
| [Saint] | shubbar: "Sound Settings"; 'play sound through'; select your output | 07:23 |
| subcool | histo, back- finally | 07:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r: heh, nothin like a fork bomb to ruin your day. I did it in a vm once just to see it work | 07:23 |
| histo | l057c0d3r: What areyou talking about? doens't he want to remove the skypeblah.conf? | 07:23 |
| histo | subcool: Yes | 07:23 |
| one | How do I invoke a binary at boottime? | 07:23 |
| subcool | ok- so where were we? | 07:23 |
| histo | one: Which binary? | 07:23 |
| dr_willis | one a binary that does what exactly? /etc/rc.local is commonly used | 07:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | one: add it to the startup applications. | 07:23 |
| subcool | histo, how do i get the ball rolling | 07:23 |
| histo | subcool: You were going to try installing 12.10 because it has lvm built in | 07:24 |
| histo | subcool: What happened with that? | 07:25 |
| [Saint] | wouldn't https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM be better than "upgrade your OS"? | 07:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | especially since 12.04 has 5-year support as opposed to 12.10's 1.5 years? | 07:26 |
| shubbar | In the Sound setting, there are two option: Digital SPDIF Out and Analog. Neither worked | 07:26 |
| histo | [Saint]: He is having trouble even mounting lvm from the 12.04 liveusb. Then he manages to mount his partitions and run the installer so who knows what sort of configuration he's got now. | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | glad i stay away from lvm | 07:26 |
| subcool | histo, well, did u want me to install it to the laptop, or just the usb? | 07:26 |
| one | ntzrmtthihu777: this needs to be invoked as root | 07:26 |
| histo | [Saint]: So i suggested he install 12.10 to usb because it has lvm2 already | 07:26 |
| histo | subcool: the USB | 07:27 |
| [Saint] | LVM is great - when it works. Though, I will admit, switching over a running system is non-trivial. | 07:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | one: no clue then. | 07:27 |
| histo | subcool: It has all the LVM2 stuff you need out of the box. Rather than booting a 12.04 from usb and installing LVM2 | 07:27 |
| belgianguy | hi, my notifications on the login/greet screen are different from those once logged in | 07:27 |
| dubbypca | l057c0d3r: so you guess its problem of the kernel in kombination with my hardware, right? im going to try a livecd of an older version and see if i can redo the crashes there, but im nearly sure it wont crahs. did no changes on hardware and it went well in ubuntu 11 | 07:27 |
| one | dr_willis: what about /etc/init.d/ ? | 07:27 |
| subcool | histo, right- im setup | 07:27 |
| belgianguy | how does one set the notifications of the login/greet screen? | 07:27 |
| l057c0d3r | dubbypca, it could be a number if different things... | 07:28 |
| histo | subcool: You really need to take the 5minutes to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM so you understand what is going on. | 07:28 |
| dubbypca | but no clues from the screenshot are possible? | 07:28 |
| jacob_ | With all the commands that is dealing with skype wrapper, it just tells me there is no such file or directory | 07:28 |
| l057c0d3r | what i seen looked like a graphics fault... but not exactly sure | 07:29 |
| dubbypca | asomeone told me the profs might see wheres the problem | 07:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | jacob_: do ls | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | when in doubt LOOK and see whats there. ;) | 07:29 |
| histo | subcool: You will see the part about installing and understand what you are doing wrong. | 07:29 |
| jacob_ | ls | 07:29 |
| jacob_ | ok | 07:29 |
| histo | subcool: You need to install lvm after you install 12.04 | 07:29 |
| histo | jacob_: I came in late what is it that you are trying to do? | 07:29 |
| dubbypca | propably the nvidia card yes, thats what i feel | 07:30 |
| jacob_ | Get rid of the skype-wrapper ppa | 07:30 |
| histo | subcool: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM#Install_lvm2_onto_your_new_Ubuntu_Install just doing this section will fix your problems | 07:30 |
| histo | jacob_: Any reason you don't just go into software sources and remove it? | 07:30 |
| histo | jacob_: System Settings > Software Sources | 07:31 |
| subcool | histo, yeah- that looks familiaer - ill do it... | 07:31 |
| jacob_ | I have tried cant find it in there if you can help me find it in there i may have better luck | 07:31 |
| subcool | give me a few | 07:31 |
| shubbar | [Saint], Digital SPDIF Out in sound setting didnt work. I have connected the display card audio in to the motherboard spdif output | 07:32 |
| dr_willis | jacob_: if ls dosent show the file.. then its gone | 07:32 |
| [Saint] | shubbar: that _should_ work... | 07:32 |
| histo | subcool: Read the whole page first then you will understand that section. | 07:32 |
| histo | jacob_: why do you think it's installed still? | 07:32 |
| subcool | ok, - | 07:32 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | Hi all, I have a simple problem... "Ambiance" theme wont work probebly... everything switch to it Except the window panel (name and X & - buttons) | 07:32 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | what is the problem? | 07:33 |
| one | dr_willis: hey doc! its iptraf | 07:34 |
| dubbypca | might a look into syslog be more helpfull? i posted one yesterday on the german channel. sadly noone had an idea whats the problem: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/413807/ | 07:34 |
| l057c0d3r | Safa_[A_boy], sounds like your windows manager is using a different theme pattern.. for instance.. my system uses gtk themes as well.. | 07:35 |
| l057c0d3r | what wm are you using | 07:35 |
| jacob_ | Ok and Histo I am in the Because the only thing that i have done is remove the grum or what ever the word was and I haven't successfully rm the ppa atleast from what i have noticed in the terminal. | 07:35 |
| dubbypca | and the xsessions-error. http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/413812/ | 07:35 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | how can I know ? :P | 07:35 |
| dubbypca | xorg-log is in link one at line 4411 | 07:36 |
| l057c0d3r | did you install ubunut kubuntu xubuntu lubuntu ubuntu-gnome-remix ext | 07:36 |
| histo | dubbypca: have you done a memtest? | 07:36 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | yeah | 07:36 |
| l057c0d3r | which one | 07:36 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | kde lxde xfce gnome and ciamon | 07:37 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | all :P | 07:37 |
| dubbypca | histo, i did. | 07:37 |
| dubbypca | no errors | 07:37 |
| l057c0d3r | Safa_[A_boy], you may have to go though all the settings.... and see if you can find all the theme settings and set them to what you want.. since you have so many different ones... also might want to check out the gnome-tweak tool and ubuntu tweak | 07:38 |
| Kartagis | good morning #ubuntu | 07:38 |
| Kartagis | so, I'd installed xen a long time ago, and now I need to switch kernels. when I do, I get "/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open object file: No such file or directory". I also upgraded the kernel, and I get the same message. why am I getting that? I've got /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6. I've been told that it might be doing it because libc.so.6 can't be located in /lib/, however I looked at another 12.04 ubuntu w | 07:38 |
| Kartagis | ithout xen installed, and libc.so.6 is at the same place as mine. how can I resolve this? thanks :) | 07:38 |
| l057c0d3r | some settings will change it for one desktop environment.. but the next might use a different one | 07:38 |
| jacob_ | Well its not even in synaptic packages either. | 07:38 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | ubuntu tweak wont work, but np | 07:39 |
| dubbypca | just ubuntu | 07:39 |
| jacob_ | so doesn't that mean it is gone? | 07:39 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, yep | 07:39 |
| l057c0d3r | should be | 07:39 |
| jacob_ | Ok thank you all for your help | 07:39 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, should still do a sudo apt-get update | 07:40 |
| l057c0d3r | if you havent already | 07:40 |

| dubbypca | sry, wrong window while typing ^^ | 07:41 |
| jacob_ | Ok my last question is going to be a dumb question but is it normal if you go into setting then go to details and the overview hast the list of memory, processor, and ECT. well the Graphics says unknown, Is that normal? | 07:42 |
| jacob_ | and the driver says unknown too. | 07:43 |
| l057c0d3r | if you don't have a binary driver installed yeah | 07:43 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | l057c0d3r, the thing that I can't understand that only this theme have this problem! "Radiance" dont have it :( | 07:45 |
| jacob_ | Ok does that really matter to have? and could that be a reason why steam doesn't run the games so well, Because like i installed steam and team fortress but it runs extremly slow. and i have no idea why it is, because my graphics and memory and prossecer should run the program just fine. | 07:45 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | opps :| | 07:45 |
| l057c0d3r | Safa_[A_boy], hmm.. might be an incomplete theme set | 07:46 |
| l057c0d3r | not sure... | 07:46 |
| l057c0d3r | sorry i cant help more | 07:46 |
| one | Ubuntu: /etc/init.d/ runs any shell scripts in the directory at boot time correct?? | 07:46 |
| Safa_[A_boy] | its Ubuntu default theme... and it was working probably ! | 07:47 |

| jacob_ | Does any one run steam on there system, because it runs extremely bad and i am just wondering if its because my driver for my graphics is unknown? | 07:50 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, yes i run steam | 07:51 |
| l057c0d3r | and it works great.. if you have the experimental drivers installed for your card | 07:51 |
| l057c0d3r | i have an adm card.. and had to use the one from the adm website | 07:51 |
| subcool | histo, i do see a bit of a issue... - | 07:51 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, any. | 07:52 |
| l057c0d3r | what card do you have ? | 07:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: I don't recall offhand, but I need to re-find it. do you use gmail or what? | 07:52 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, how is my mail service provider relevant? | 07:52 |
| jacob_ | Ok, home ram does it use? Because for some odd reason it runs slow, and my system is fairly new, and i have just under 3 gb for memory | 07:52 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, I find it annoying when people ask for irrelevant details. | 07:53 |

| Grimhound | I'm not mad. Just very, very disappointed. | 07:53 |
| l057c0d3r | jacob_, you will want the binary drivers from the website of your video card manufacture installed | 07:53 |
| Grimhound | Thought this place was for support and not trolling. | 07:54 |

| ubottu | jacob_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 07:54 |
| Grimhound | People told me a series of commands that essentially scrambled my install of Xubuntu | 07:55 |
| histo | subcool: What issue is that? | 07:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: it is not irrelevant, the guide I know of assumes gmail and it may not work for other providers. | 07:55 |
| subcool | Grimhound, happens lol - | 07:55 |
| histo | Grimhound: They did not. YOUR ISSUES were prior to that command. But you won't open your eyes right now to see that. | 07:55 |
| subcool | histo, i have two boots.. sda1 and sdb1 | 07:55 |
| Grimhound | So I reformatted, went outside to calm down and shovel through a foot of snow and avoid a brain aneurysm, calmed down, and then hired a hitman. | 07:55 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, show me the guide and I will decide on that myself. | 07:55 |
| Grimhound | I had no issues before that, histo. | 07:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: gladly | 07:56 |
| Grimhound | My issue was an icon. | 07:56 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, next time just say 'for gmail do URL'. | 07:56 |
| Grimhound | My issue was a bluetooth icon showing up where it shouldn't. | 07:56 |
| subcool | Grimhound, so you in the tristate? | 07:56 |
| histo | Grimhound: You obviously did because running startx as someone else suggested to you will not harm your system. | 07:56 |
| Grimhound | It wiped my settings and locked me out. | 07:56 |
| Grimhound | I could only access my computer as Guest | 07:56 |
| === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc | ||
| subcool | startx only boots the gui | 07:57 |
| l057c0d3r | Grimhound, and if you seen what i said..... bluetooth icon.. then bluetooth is running... remove it from system startup and all should be well after reboot | 07:57 |
| leptone | anyone know anything about running minecraft on 12.04? :) | 07:57 |
| Grimhound | Then booting the GUI wipes settings and locks you out | 07:57 |
| Grimhound | I was on a fresh install as it was | 07:57 |
| l057c0d3r | and after running a starx.. a reboot should have fixed anything that it did | 07:57 |
| subcool | leptone, hahah- wow. | 07:57 |
| Grimhound | leptone: It's a java app. | 07:57 |
| histo | Grimhound: It does not wipe anything out stop spreading lies | 07:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: its the only one i am aware of, so again, no reason for bein that specific. | 07:57 |
| Grimhound | Install java. Play game. | 07:57 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, are you ever going to post the URL? | 07:58 |
| leptone | im seeing 100%-250% CPU usage with open JDK and Sun JDK | 07:58 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: as soon as I find it. | 07:58 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, nobody cares about your chat. | 07:58 |
| histo | Grimhound: I'm telling you something else happened to you. | 07:58 |
| subcool | Grimhound, ya- starting gui doesnt do that, you problably just had something .. | 07:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | invariant: you know what, find it yourself. | 07:58 |
| subcool | Grimhound, ive messed up startx MANY times.. | 07:58 |
| Grimhound | It was literally a fresh install. Programs installed otherwise: Cheese, Audacity | 07:58 |
| invariant | ntzrmtthihu777, you know what? Next time don't say anything. | 07:59 |
| histo | Grimhound: The only way that's possible is if you had some horrible delete command or something in .xinitrc or something that you did previously. How do you think your desktop starts now? | 07:59 |
| histo | Grimhound: Try and recreate the issue in a virtual machine. I bet you won't be able to. | 07:59 |
| l057c0d3r | on my gentoo system.. i don't have it set to auto load a desktop.. since its a server.. | 07:59 |
| histo | Grimhound: fresh install and run startx | 07:59 |
| l057c0d3r | so if i want a desktop i have to type starx in term every time | 07:59 |
| Grimhound | I typed "sudo startx" It brought me to a screen which bounced me into a wiped out root login | 08:00 |
| leptone | running minecraft uses 100%-250% CPU making my system and the game unusable. anyone know anything? | 08:00 |
| Grimhound | All options were gone | 08:00 |
| Grimhound | I tried restarting, restart command was gone | 08:00 |
| Grimhound | So I shutdown. | 08:00 |
| subcool | Grimhound, dont do sudo | 08:00 |
| Grimhound | Restarted my computer. Login screen. All passwords refused | 08:00 |
| l057c0d3r | Grimhound, and it was still messed up after reboot | 08:00 |
| subcool | Grimhound, sudo boots up root - very bad | 08:00 |
| l057c0d3r | but yeah.. like subcool said not do sudo with startx | 08:00 |
| subcool | Grimhound, sudo passwd will create a password for sudo/root | 08:01 |
| subcool | Grimhound, from there, you can create users. | 08:01 |
| jacob_ | Well great mine isn't even on the list, I have A AMD Vision radeon hd 6310 atleast from what i see | 08:01 |

| Mishke | how ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 works with GNOME Shell? | 08:03 |

| belgianguy | jacob_: isn't that the 6300 Series then? | 08:03 |
| SunStar | thus its success | 08:03 |
| l057c0d3r_ | and follow the guide on installing from the website.. in the ati part of the guide.. will work fine on that card | 08:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Mishke: I am not sure about 12.10+, but 12.04 works perfectly fine. | 08:03 |
| subcool | histo, so anyways-... sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/boot - which do i do- ? sdb or sda? | 08:03 |

| histo | subcool: sda is the drive not a partition | 08:05 |
| Mishke | sda1 sda2 etc its partition | 08:06 |
| jacob_ | No Binary drivers because in my details say that my drivers are unknown and steam doesn't run teamfortress at all, Its so slow and one of the guys who runs steam on his system said it could be because of the binary driver | 08:06 |
| subcool | histo, so- do sda1? | 08:06 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | anyone know how to lowercase all letters but the first in a file name via rename? | 08:06 |
| belgianguy | jacob_: you'll need the latest unstable/beta to run Steam | 08:07 |
| belgianguy | TF2 runs fine here, although it still crashes from time to time | 08:07 |
| jacob_ | so in that case i just have to switch it to that in the additional drivers? | 08:07 |
| l057c0d3r_ | nope | 08:08 |
| belgianguy | jacob_: it's not that easy, doing it wrong and it'll be hard to regain control | 08:08 |

| l057c0d3r_ | not sure about yours but mine system did not have the experimental drivers in the additional drivers page | 08:08 |
| belgianguy | you'll want to be 200% sure abut what you're doing | 08:08 |
| l057c0d3r_ | so i made a deb from the package on the amd website.. its not really that har | 08:09 |
| subcool | histo, so anyways- i did it- - im chroot'ed | 08:09 |
| l057c0d3r_ | d | 08:09 |
| jacob_ | Oh yeah not in 12.04lts so i can't do it that way, anyways i am in 12.10, And yeah i kinda figure that. | 08:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Grimhound: now that is entertaining | 08:09 |
| l057c0d3r_ | just rememer if you follow the guide.. made it for quantal not percice.. because you are on 12.10 | 08:10 |
| histo | subcool: Now follow the guide to install lvm2 | 08:10 |
| subcool | histo, wha? - | 08:10 |
| subcool | histo, install lvm2 packages you mean? | 08:10 |
| histo | subcool: I have no idea anymore where you are intalling ubuntu to. You have duplicate partitions. You have some used as lvm and others outside of the extended partition that aren't lvm. | 08:10 |
| jacob_ | i can get the driver form amd. but the only thing is that i am not sure if its linux 86 or 86_64, | 08:11 |
| subcool | histo, the ones outside arent anything, mostly for storage | 08:11 |
| subcool | histo, sooner or later ill install win or something | 08:11 |
| subcool | histo, lvm is mostly the actual install | 08:11 |
| subcool | histo, but check this out.. | 08:12 |
| antonio__ | I need to find out whats wrong with my system... | 08:12 |
| histo | subcool: Okay well you need to mount Whatever LVM partition you installed ubuntu to. Then you need to follow that page the after installation steps to get it working | 08:12 |
| one | Anyone: Trying to invoke iptraf using -i all -B and getting unsupported interface error but it runs on all interfaces in console mode, any help out there? | 08:12 |

| dylan_ | hold on | 08:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dylan_: no fn+f# key? | 08:24 |
| dylan_ | not for wifi it doesnt appear | 08:24 |
| jacob_ | it should be like fn f12 or near there | 08:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dylan_: strange. as jacob_ said. | 08:24 |
| dylan_ | theyre blank | 08:25 |
| dylan_ | i'm googling to see if theres a toggle | 08:25 |
| l057c0d3r_ | on my system if i hit fn f12 it is f12.. otherwise the button does the other operation.. like dimming.. sound down / up ext | 08:25 |

| nello | \list | 08:26 |
| dylan_ | i don't even see that option | 08:26 |
| jacob_ | through the network settings if you go up in the corner where you can restart there should be a networking symbol | 08:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !list | nello | 08:27 |
| ubottu | nello: ntzrmtthihu777: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 08:27 |

| belgianguy | anyone know where the settings of unity-greeter are? | 08:27 |

| dylan_ | okay i just dechecked enable networking, then rechecked it, nothing | 08:28 |
| l057c0d3r_ | belgianguy, if your talking about the login screen... then there is no gui app for it | 08:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Industrial: you don't already have it | 08:28 |

| histo | subcool: sorry i'm back hows it going? | 08:31 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | try source /etc/bash_completion | 08:31 |
| subcool | histo, scroll up- bad | 08:32 |
| bazhang | nima_sh, wubi is more of a test drive you realize, not a real long term dual boot solution | 08:32 |
| histo | subcool: Are you connected to the internet on this machine? | 08:32 |
| jacob_ | Dylan its ubuntu 12.10 right? | 08:32 |
| subcool | im on it now :) | 08:32 |

| ubottu | nima_sh, please see my private message | 08:33 |
| jacob_ | checking the troubleshoot process. | 08:33 |
| histo | subcool: Well you will have to paste them I can't read your mind | 08:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | nima_sh: first thing you gotta realize is wubi == fail | 08:34 |
| subcool | histo, working on it- | 08:34 |
| histo | !wubi | nima_sh | 08:34 |
| ubottu | nima_sh: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe | 08:34 |

| === pesasa_ is now known as pesasa | ||
| l057c0d3r_ | ntzrmtthihu777, now now... i ran a wubi install for quite a long time with out a problem | 08:34 |
| l057c0d3r_ | was actually nice before i removed windows..l | 08:35 |
| subcool | histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5595384 | 08:35 |
| l057c0d3r_ | just used a simlink to the windows folders in /host for my music/ pictures ext | 08:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: as many folk as I hear bellyachinc about their wubi screwing up I see little reason to do it. no benefit, as you are still using windows's filespace, and you could presumeably screw it up with a fragmented drive. | 08:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: yeah, I did the same with my dual boot before I completely switched over. | 08:36 |
| [Saint] | What's wrong with Wubi? | 08:36 |
| l057c0d3r_ | thats what i was saying :-p | 08:37 |
| [Saint] | Oh noes! A loopback FS! | 08:37 |
| [Saint] | ;) | 08:37 |
| jacob_ | Has anyone tried JoliOS? | 08:37 |

| dylan__ | jacob_: i got timed out | 08:38 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: really with the issues he's having. | 08:38 |
| jacob_ | When you installed Ubuntu 12.10 did you check to install the drivers with it? | 08:38 |
| [Saint] | ...there's an option for that? | 08:39 |
| dylan__ | jacob_: all i did was download the iso, install on flash drive, and booted and installed from there | 08:39 |
| histo | subcool: exit the chroot. Ensure that the machine is connected to the internet. open a terminal chroot /mnt . Once you are in there apt-get update | 08:39 |
| [Saint] | AFAIK the only prompts are "download updates" and "download non-free" | 08:39 |
| [Saint] | (mp3 codec) | 08:39 |
| dylan__ | i didn't see any sort of option for drivers or think to, but under additional drivers in software sources, the proper broadcom driver appears installed and activated | 08:39 |
| Industrial | Where are the settings for Unity keyboard commands? I want to completely disable WIN/SUPER_L + 1-9. I want to use those for something else. | 08:39 |
| [Saint] | dylan__: that's because there aren't any. | 08:39 |
| [Saint] | that's ok :) | 08:40 |

| ubottu | nima_sh, please see my private message | 08:40 |
| histo | !dualboot > nima_sh | 08:40 |
| subcool | histo, just that chroot /mnt | 08:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Industrial: there is a section in system settings dealing with hotkeys | 08:40 |
| histo | subcool: paste lsblk again now that you have changed moujnts and stuff. | 08:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Industrial: called keyboard shortcuts, search your dash for it. | 08:40 |
| pecc | hello people, my lil' thang has started trying to connect wireless all the time -- doesn't let me untick "Enable Wireless", reboot is of no help, setting 0wlan (or was it wlan0) does nothing, this would be fine but I have for the most times a wired connection and the wireless gets unconnected and the notifications bug me -- running 12.10 | 08:41 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | spencer: what kinda files | 08:47 |
| histo | !better | spencer | 08:47 |
| ubottu | spencer: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 08:47 |
| subcool | histo, well- lol.. i dont have a /mnt/etc/ | 08:47 |
| histo | subcool: inside the chroot it will be /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:47 |

| subcool | histo, thanks- i got the jist.. | 09:14 |
| cyphase | anyone know how i can find directories that have more than N images? or perhaps list all directories in order of amount of images | 09:15 |
| histo | subcool: Yeah looks like a formatting error on that wiki page. I'll ahve to see if I can correct it. | 09:15 |
| subcool | histo, thanks for this-- very helpful. and better than the usual stuff- i actually got a clue about whats going on.. other than this last part | 09:16 |
| histo | cyphase: You'd have to use a few commands piped together | 09:16 |
| subcool | so i installed everything | 09:17 |
| histo | subcool: You learn from fixing rather than reinstalling | 09:17 |
| histo | subcool: you installed lvm2 and all that hoooplah righ? | 09:17 |
| subcool | histo, well, yes- but usually the people that help - just kinda tell me what to do- this makes more sense. | 09:17 |
| l057c0d3r_ | right.. this is linux... dont reinstall.. fix | 09:17 |
| l057c0d3r_ | almost everything can be done.../ reversed/ recovered | 09:18 |
| subcool | histo, not really sure what other hooplah is neccisary- but.. i;ve learned alot about lvm with this :) | 09:18 |
| subcool | histo, do you think all of this will fix it on boot? | 09:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: yeah. Although I recently borked a fresh install pretty baddly so it was better to just reinstall. | 09:18 |
| histo | subcool: yes if you've done everything in that section reboot unplug thrumb drive and crossfingers | 09:19 |
| l057c0d3r_ | better really | 09:19 |
| l057c0d3r_ | wipe config files.. strip down. and rebuild | 09:19 |
| l057c0d3r_ | :-p | 09:19 |
| subcool | histo, cool- lets see hwo it goes.. thanks :) | 09:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: the bork removed 300 packages =_= | 09:19 |
| l057c0d3r_ | ahh... | 09:20 |
| l057c0d3r_ | well there was a log of what was removed :-p | 09:20 |
| l057c0d3r_ | could have re added... but if it was a fresh install might have been faster to reinstall | 09:20 |
| l057c0d3r_ | what you remove.. ubuntu-unity-desktop | 09:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: no, it was a pinguy os install. I did not remove deliberately, it happened after a shutdown during apt-get upgrade | 09:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | thing was it came with a few nice wine goodies already setup, and I did not know how to do them myself, so heh | 09:22 |
| l057c0d3r_ | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:22 |
| Ohad | Hello, anyone knows how to enable autologin in my Beagleboard's ubuntu? | 09:22 |
| l057c0d3r_ | better in my opinion | 09:22 |
| l057c0d3r_ | but that is an opinion | 09:22 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | l057c0d3r_: yeah, I use dist-upgrade now, but I did not know at the time. | 09:23 |
| l057c0d3r_ | Ohad, go to system settings... users.. and auto login option should be in there | 09:23 |
| histo | Ohad: does it boot to a full GUI? | 09:24 |
| Kartagis | so, I'd installed xen a long time ago, and now I need to switch kernels. when I do, I get "/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open object file: No such file or directory". I also upgraded the kernel, and I get the same message. why am I getting that? I've got /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6. I've been told that it might be doing it because libc.so.6 can't be located in /lib/, however I looked at another 12.04 ubuntu w | 09:24 |
| Kartagis | ithout xen installed, and libc.so.6 is at the same place as mine. how can I resolve this? thanks :) | 09:24 |
| helmut_ | hi | 09:25 |
| Ohad | <l057c0d3r_>,<histo>: I've looked there and there is no autologin option there. I have full GUI(LKDE with gdm), I'm using ubuntu 11.10 oneric and can't use the new version (sfot/hard float issues) | 09:26 |
| histo | Ohad: You have to look up instructions for autologin with gdm | 09:27 |

| llutz | !nounity | ben1253 | 09:36 |
| ubottu | ben1253: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 09:36 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | ben1253: I can say that gnome fallback works rather well | 09:37 |
| Touhou11 | Gnome fallback is buggy, particularly the panel | 09:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Touhou11: do you even know what you are talking about? I've been running gnome fallback since precise came out | 09:37 |
| llutz | there are loads of DE/WM out there, pick what you like and what works for you | 09:37 |
| histo | ben1253: you should switch Desktop Environtments rather than run an EOL distro | 09:38 |
| l057c0d3r | right right.. while i used to love openbox lxde | 09:38 |
| Touhou11 | ntzrmtthihu777: Your experience must differ | 09:38 |
| l057c0d3r | i prefer gnome-shell cairo-dock | 09:38 |
| ben1253 | llutz:ok,but my laptop have sis graphic chipset.and if you know that sis is sticked to windows! hence they never release their device drivers for open source os. | 09:39 |

| sgo11 | hi, is that possible to remove grub version title in the grub? The first line in the grub screen. not OS entries. thanks. | 09:39 |
| k1l | ben1253: well, sis is problem that is right. but that should not be a problem of using lxde as the desktop | 09:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | if I read that right, if I remove gnome-shell and keep gnome-panel I keep the gnome-fallback (no effects) login? | 09:40 |

| ben1253 | histo:means xfce,lxde,because i tried lxde in linux mint,but same problem appeared? | 09:42 |

| SubCool | histo, yea | 09:57 |
| ben1253 | histo:i was unable to play video,no graphic effect,white strips on shutdown and start screen!! | 09:57 |
| histo | SubCool: okay I'm assuming your /etc/fstab is probably jacked up. We have to take a look at that. | 09:57 |
| amcsi | I'm not in front of my ubuntu machine where I could connect to the vps with the icon next to the clock. I have to do it remotely through SSH and CLI. How do I do it? | 09:58 |

| ben1253 | histo:i tried,but no remedy! | 09:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ben1253: penguy os is a respun version of ubuntu, in other words it is ubuntu but customized already. it has a login version that is low on needs and runs quite well on my machine. | 10:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ben1253: no unity. | 10:00 |
| SubCool | histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5595529 - could u check this | 10:00 |
| ben1253 | ntzrmtthihu777:does it play videos? | 10:00 |

| SubCool | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5595534 | 10:02 |

| ben1253 | ntzrmtthihu777:ok,does pinguy have their own repo? | 10:09 |
| histo | SubCool: you can try replacing the uuid of the /dev/mapper/myvg in your /etc/fstab. So where it now says /dev/mapper/Precise-Blah it would say be3705de-79... Someone else may have to chime in as to why they aren't getting mounted on boot. But this I believe is the issue right now. | 10:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ben1253: like I said, pinguy is ubuntu. it has the ubuntu repos, and a few other ones. | 10:10 |
| histo | SubCool: Not sure if the default is to use uuid or dev when you are using LVM | 10:10 |
| SubCool | histo, let me read it- i was pretty involved when making that files.. | 10:10 |
| histo | SubCool: It should work though with /dev/mapper being in fstab | 10:11 |

| tajamul123 | but the site auto selects the package fit for ur computer | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | so its | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | ..wrong... | 10:57 |

| vlad_starkov | Question: I'm newbie to Ubuntu server. What version should I install for using next 2 years: 12.04.2LTS or 12.10? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | it wants me to download the android version... ;-) | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 11:00 |
| cfhowlett | vlad_starkov: 12.04 will be supported for 5 years ... LTS | 11:01 |
| cfhowlett | !lts|vlad_starkov: | 11:01 |
| ubottu | vlad_starkov:: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 11:01 |
| Touhou11 | vlad_starkov: LTS - often when you download enterprise type software, they only support LTS releases | 11:01 |
| vlad_starkov | Touhou11: is there big difference between 12.04 and 12.10? | 11:02 |
| zAo^ | vlad_starkov, no | 11:02 |
| mote | Hi. I'm trying to get at switch working with chromium-browser, "--app-window-size=w,h". but can get it to work. Where go i go to get help? | 11:02 |
| vlad_starkov | zAo^: so if I'll buy the book about 12.10 it's ok for me to use 12.04? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | mote: does it support that flag ? | 11:02 |
| cfhowlett | mote: #google or #chromium might be channels | 11:03 |
| mote | ikonia i sez several places.. | 11:03 |
| ikonia | eG: 120,80 | 11:03 |
| ikonia | mote: and I assume you're actually using numbers instead of w,h | 11:03 |
| zAo^ | vlad_starkov, most of it should do, yes. But why not upgrade? | 11:03 |
| cfhowlett | tajamul123: chrome or chromium are in the ubuntu software center if you wanted to try that browser ... | 11:03 |
| mote | cfhowlett trying already | 11:03 |
| ikonia | mote: where does it say it supports that flag | 11:03 |
| mote | ikonia yes ;-) | 11:03 |
| ikonia | mote: sorry to ask the obvious question, but it's a common mistake | 11:04 |
| mote | ikonia "chromium-browser --app-window-size=400,400" | 11:04 |
| mote | ikonia i know. ;-) | 11:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | zAo^: those options you had me pas to du, what did they di | 11:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *do | 11:04 |
| vlad_starkov | zAo^: what do you mean about upgradeing? | 11:04 |
| zAo^ | ntzrmtthihu777, -s = summary, -m = in megabytes. Other than that: man du | 11:04 |
| mote | ikonia it is probably something like that i'm doing wrong anyway | 11:05 |

| VinceThePrince | is it possible to alias an path? like bla = "~/sites/bla/" ? because that does not work | 11:11 |
| mote | ikonia would i need to use a gtk switch? | 11:12 |
| Kartagis | VinceThePrince: alias bla='cd ~/sites/bla' would work | 11:13 |
| llutz | VinceThePrince: not an alias, but you'd define a var "bla = "~/sites/bla/" " echo $bla" | 11:14 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | Touhou11: with all due respect your opinions on running on root are not what i want to hear | 11:18 |
| cfhowlett | !root|mojtaba: | 11:18 |
| ubottu | mojtaba:: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:18 |
| llutz | "sudo -i" | 11:18 |
| llutz | mojtaba: | 11:18 |
| rndbit | anyone know how to unbind window key? i think some left-over service keeps it bound and cant use it in kde properly. | 11:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | rndbit: no, no backtrack on this machine atm. | 11:19 |
| Kartagis | nothing much, you Onixs? | 11:19 |
| Onixs | Kartagis : yup :) | 11:19 |
| Onixs | good | 11:19 |
| deaw12 | . | 11:19 |
| mojtaba | I use su and then gave my password which I use with sudo, but It gave me authentication failure | 11:19 |
| Touhou11 | Some people just can't handle the power of root I guess | 11:19 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: don't use su | 11:19 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know how can I do that? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: the command is sudo -i | 11:19 |
| rndbit | mojtaba, i had this, check keyboard layout | 11:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mojtaba: why? | 11:19 |
| mojtaba | ikonia: what should I do? | 11:19 |
| Onixs | got a little proble how to make it bootable | 11:20 |
| Onixs | mkisofs -o /NEW.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -r -J CUSTOM_ISO_FOLDER | 11:20 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: the root account is looked, so su will not work. | 11:20 |
| llutz | mojtaba: start reading what people answer to you | 11:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mojtaba: should be sudo su, actualy\ | 11:20 |
| mojtaba | I want to navigate through lost+found directory | 11:20 |
| llutz | ntzrmtthihu777: no it shouldn't | 11:20 |
| ikonia | ntzrmtthihu777: it it should not | 11:20 |
| Onixs | but can't! | 11:20 |
| ikonia | mojtaba: sudo -i is the correct command | 11:20 |

| lotuspsychje | how can i clone a 1tb data drive with ubuntu to another empty drive? | 12:14 |
| lotuspsychje | (as fast as possible) | 12:14 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: Either dd or ddrescue for the whole drive or rsync for the mounted file systems. | 12:15 |
| lotuspsychje | vlt: tnx ill try with dd | 12:15 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: If the file system is nearly completely filled use dd (or ddrescue which is more efficient), otherwise consider mounting and just copying files (with rsync). | 12:16 |
| lotuspsychje | vlt: would this be the right command: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=32M | 12:17 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: Yes. | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | vlt: tnx mate | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | vlt: how fast would that clone the drive? | 12:18 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: Mind that the target drive should be at least as big as the source if you do it this way. | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | vlt: yes its for excact 1tb mediadrive cloning all its content | 12:18 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: Speed depends on your system. About 100 MB/s I’d estimate. | 12:19 |
| CatKiller | lotuspsychje: Quite fast, but be aware that if the drive has *any* badblocks on it the whole process will fail | 12:19 |
| dekroning | is it possible to also redirect all trafic destinationed port 80 to be rerouted via my transparent proxyserver running on localhost 8080 with ufw, or do I need to use iptables? | 12:19 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: `fdisl -l /dev/sd?` should give you the exact sizes | 12:19 |
| CatKiller | lotuspsychje: You'll be able to restart it from where it left off, but after doing some basic maths to compute where exactly it left off and where you restart it | 12:19 |
| vlt | lotuspsychje: *fdisk | 12:19 |
| lotuspsychje | Catkiller: its not for a system drive (both external mediaplayer drives | 12:19 |
| lotuspsychje | but ill clone them from ubuntu | 12:20 |
| CatKiller | lotuspsychje: Doesn't matter, you can still have badblocks on it | 12:20 |
| CatKiller | lotuspsychje: If you do, the whole "dd" process will exit, and you'll have to work around the badblock | 12:20 |
| calwig | hi what is the gnome manager for pgp? | 12:20 |
| CatKiller | lotuspsychje: ddrescue is usually recommended if you've got the slightest doubt about the health of the HD | 12:20 |
| lotuspsychje | CatKiller: well ill check the drive first with photorec | 12:21 |
| CatKiller | No need, you'd be wasting time | 12:21 |
| lotuspsychje | oh | 12:21 |
| CatKiller | either use "dd" if you're pretty sure the drive is still good | 12:21 |
| CatKiller | or use "ddrescue" | 12:21 |
| CatKiller | ddrescue does the same thing as dd | 12:21 |
| CatKiller | but with more focus on recovery (it allows errors) | 12:22 |
| lotuspsychje | CatKiller: ok tnx | 12:22 |
| CatKiller | In fact ddrescue is usually better because it's more aimed at recovery and duplication | 12:22 |
| CatKiller | Will do the same thing, at about the same speed as dd | 12:22 |

| Fanshawe | Hello everyone. I'm trying to use get_iplayer but only get 'rtmp server sent error' messages in return. The readout is frustratingly short, but I've put it on pastebin anyway: http://pastebin.com/NvQE5H0p | 12:26 |
| calwig | Taev, do you get the grub menu? | 12:27 |
| Taev | yes and its loading windows | 12:27 |

| calwig | what do you want to do, repair windows or get to linux? | 12:27 |
| artrei | hi all i think i'm missing /usr/bin/compiz file, how to fix this? | 12:28 |
| Taev | i can get to linux, i can't get to windows | 12:28 |
| Taev | this started after the ubuntu install | 12:28 |
| calwig | Taev, did ubuntu install on the same partition as windows? | 12:28 |
| Taev | i created 2 partitions on the same drive | 12:28 |
| Taev | i used to have the MBR for windows on a separate HD | 12:29 |
| Taev | but i got lazy | 12:29 |
| calwig | Taev, have you pressed F8 in Windows to repair? | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | Taev: so a dual boot, not windows installer/wubi ... right? | 12:29 |
| Taev | yes it says loading files | 12:29 |
| Taev | then back to repair screen | 12:29 |
| Taev | no matter how many times i click repair | 12:29 |
| jony | in Double Commander how can be set a network share shortcut? | 12:29 |
| Taev | when i click boot normally | 12:29 |
| Taev | the system reboots | 12:29 |

| Taev | i can boot ubuntu just fine | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | Taev: ignore the first factoid | 12:30 |
| Taev | its messed up windows | 12:30 |
| Taev | windows told me to come here | 12:30 |
| calwig | Taev, so ubuntu is working just fine, but windows is screwed, then it isnt a grub issue is it cfhowlett ? | 12:30 |
| calwig | ah | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | Taev: of course they did .... boot the windows cd and repair. then reinstall grub | 12:30 |
| calwig | ignore | 12:30 |
| calwig | yeah what i would do | 12:31 |
| calwig | cfhowlett, what is the keyring in kubuntu? | 12:31 |
| calwig | no one is answering in #kubuntu | 12:31 |
| calwig | keyring daemon | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | calwig: keyring is keyring as I understand it ... distro agnositc utility | 12:32 |
| artrei | anyone know how to fix if /usr/bin/compiz missing? | 12:32 |
| calwig | i mean what is the gui app to import/export keys | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | calwig: thinking | 12:33 |
| calwig | Oran, servus | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | calwig: should appear on your system menu - possibly settings ... | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | calwig: as I am on xubuntu, IDK | 12:34 |
| calwig | cfhowlett, cuz boy i cant find it, i presume i can use a gnome manager, which should be the same | 12:34 |

| phaidros | I am having troubles an can't solve them, tried hours of howtos, but no go :/ .. trying to boot a VM with crypted lvm, all so far ok, tho the initrd just doesn't ask for the encryption key, it just hangs after: "udevd[88]: starting version 175" .. when using init=/bin/sh as kernel param I get to see the pw request. I thought with 12.04 this is more or less ootb? (I didnt use the installer, as this is a headless server) | 13:00 |
| Taev | anyone want to know how i fixed my issue? | 13:00 |
| Taev | for some reason Ubuntu keeps hanging when i have ACPI on | 13:00 |
| phaidros | any hints on where to looks if the pw request in initrd is missing? | 13:00 |
| Taev | so i disabled it in boot | 13:00 |
| Taev | Windows seems to require it | 13:00 |
| phaidros | Taev: ACPI has strange issues with some HW, I have servers which I have to boot with esotheric settings like "acpi=ht" .. | 13:00 |
| phaidros | is there any useful way to debug iinitrd? | 13:01 |
| phaidros | "error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon" is the one warning I get when using init=/bin/sh | 13:02 |
| c2tarun | What is difference between $0.0 and Free application in Ubuntu Software Center. | 13:02 |

| lmat | ikonia: I've connected a mass storage device (usb) to my ubuntu machine, but I don't know how to use it. | 13:48 |

| mishke_ | sorry :( | 13:48 |
| lmat | IzzoDizzo: sure. I'm mapping uuids to /dev/ files. | 13:48 |
| ikonia | lmat: ok - so you should just be able to mount it | 13:48 |
| lmat | ikonia: What device? How do I find its uuid? what filesysteM? | 13:49 |
| lmat | To get the filesystem df [devname] | 13:49 |
| mishke_ | now i using my netbook with ubuntu for create USB Stick with Linux distro. recommend please soft. unetbootin dont helps | 13:49 |
| ikonia | lmat: ok - so "sudo fdisk -l" you should be able to see the new disk added, or "sudo blkid" to map the uuid's, you can see it get added as a physical device in dmessage | 13:49 |
| lmat | To get the uuid, go to /dev/disk/by-uuid and find its /dev/ file. | 13:49 |
| llutz | lmat: sudo blkid | 13:49 |
| cfhowlett | mishke_: lubuntu and xubuntu are optimized for lower spec (e.g. netbooks) and older machines. ubuntu is not. doesn't mean it WON'T run ... | 13:49 |
| lmat | thanks, I'll work on this for a while :) | 13:49 |

| llutz | lmat: even on mounted fs you won't | 13:50 |
| cfhowlett | mishke_: use the startupdiskcreator that's installed with ubuntu ? | 13:50 |
| lmat | llutz: I can't verify that... I `df sda` and sda isn't mounted, and it shows "none" as filesystem... | 13:50 |

| lmat | ikonia: It's a raid, made by drobo. | 13:56 |
| MonkeyDust | mishke_ those are the only usb creators I know of -- if none do the job for you, then maybe you are doing something wrong or the .iso is corrupt -- try the md5 check | 13:56 |
| lmat | ikonia: I think it has three 1gbs in it...which means it might be like 1.3 gigs or something. | 13:56 |
| ikonia | lmat: your usb disk can't be raid | 13:56 |
| ikonia | lmat: it's only 1 disk | 13:56 |
| lmat | ok | 13:56 |
| ikonia | lmat: is this disk a pen drive ? | 13:56 |
| ikonia | or a physical hard disk ? | 13:56 |
| lmat | ikonia: I don't know what a pen drive is, but the drobo has three (physical) hard drives in it. | 13:57 |
| lmat | ikonia: oh, it has moving parts. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | lmat: hang on | 13:57 |
| lmat | ikonia: It's not one of those pocket flash drives | 13:57 |
| ikonia | lmat: so you're not trying to connect a disk | 13:57 |
| ikonia | lmat: you're trying to connect a usb raid array ? | 13:57 |
| lmat | ikonia: yeah. But I think it's supposed to expose itself as a disk. | 13:57 |
| ikonia | lmat: it will do | 13:57 |
| ikonia | ok this makes more sense | 13:57 |
| lmat | ikonia: There's already a makeshift raid on the computer. There are two disks that duplicate each other (I think they're sda and sdb) | 13:58 |
| ikonia | lmat: 17592.2 GB of data | 13:58 |
| ikonia | lmat: 17592.2 | 13:58 |

| ikonia | lmat df won't work | 13:59 |
| foo357 | Hello, I have a computer running 12.04 where a disk has partintioned as one partition for / and another for /home . I'm just wondering, can I safely shrink the / filesystem and enlarge the /home one? | 13:59 |
| ikonia | lmat: as you where told earlier....it's not mounted | 13:59 |
| ikonia | lmat: and there is no /dev/sdd2 | 13:59 |
| llutz | lmat: btw, that shows you the info for the device /dev is mounted on, not for /dev/sda (compare size /dev/sda <-> number 1k-block) | 13:59 |
| lmat | ikonia: Oh, I see. It's worse than "it won't work". It's working...but working incorrectly, which is MUCH worse!! | 13:59 |
| ikonia | lmat: ???? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | lmat: you just have to mount it | 14:00 |
| ikonia | lmat: "sudo mkdir /tmp/test && sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /tmp/test" | 14:00 |
| lmat | ikonia: Oh, I don't have to specify type...sheesh, my life just got a lot easier. | 14:00 |
| lmat | ikonia: ls /dev/sdd2 returns "/dev/sdd2" | 14:00 |
| mishke_ | repeat please names of ubuntu for netbook | 14:01 |
| mishke_ | lubuntu and? | 14:01 |
| ikonia | lmat: why are you doing ls /dev/sdd2 - I just told you there is no sdd2 | 14:01 |
| llutz | mishke_: xubuntu | 14:01 |
| ikonia | lmat: I've just given you the command to use, please use it | 14:01 |
| lmat | ikonia: To say that there is a sd2... | 14:01 |
| lmat | ikonia: I did. | 14:01 |
| ikonia | lmat: ok, so now df -h /tmp/test | 14:01 |
| MonkeyDust | foo357 yes, but not while it is running -- backup first and use a live cd or usb -- enlarging partitions without dataloss is possible, but very slow, I tried it | 14:01 |
| lmat | size 197M avail 197M | 14:02 |
| ikonia | lmat: ok, so there you go, you've mounted that disk | 14:02 |
| ikonia | lmat: (or that partition to be clear) | 14:02 |
| foo357 | Ok MonkeyDust, thanks | 14:02 |
| lmat | ikonia: I sort of expected something to be on it (and I expected it to be greater than 200Megs) | 14:02 |
| ikonia | lmat: that's how big the partition is in the output you posted earlier | 14:03 |
| mishke_ | llutz, what faster as you think? | 14:03 |
| ikonia | lmat: its on a big disk - but that how big that partition is | 14:03 |
| lmat | ikonia: okay | 14:03 |
| lmat | ikonia: And it appears that there are no other partitions? | 14:04 |
| llutz | mishke_: idk, i ran lubuntu on my old atom n270 without problem | 14:04 |
| ikonia | lmat: not according to your earlier output, you can try to mount /dev/sdd2 if you want | 14:04 |
| mishke_ | llutz, thx | 14:04 |
| lmat | ikonia: It says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock ... " | 14:04 |
| llutz | mishke_: how much RAM you have? | 14:04 |
| ikonia | lmat: as expected | 14:05 |
| lmat | ikonia: You've been very helpful, I think I need to look into how the disk works and how it's being exposed without its little software interface thing... | 14:05 |

| verzx | How do I install a list of packages, to be more specific : http://zitstif.no-ip.org/bt5/toolslist.txt | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !clone | 14:20 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 14:20 |

| marcs1989 | Hello. New Linux user. I'm trying to learn Unix, and I noticed in one of my directories ls will display all of my files in that directory, and a duplicate of that file with ~ after it. I'm not sure why? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest37032: sure, you can use apt-mirror | 14:23 |
| Guest37032 | all i do is, store all the debs in a folder, create an index file, tell apt to use it, and voila | 14:23 |
| Guest37032 | similar to apt-cdrom | 14:23 |

| dr_willis | marcs1989: you seeing the wallpaper of the desktop? thats more of a terminal app setting. not a shell | 14:27 |
| dr_willis | vim is vi with some extras. so it dosent really matter | 14:27 |
| marcs1989 | dr_willis No, but I'd be fine if it was the wallpaper. A solid color gets a bit hard to stare at after a while. | 14:28 |
| dekroning | where can I override the dns server given by my default DHCP server ? | 14:28 |
| dr_willis | marcs1989: i would consider a wallpaper hard to stare at.. i perfer a nice solid black background for my termiansl | 14:28 |
| marcs1989 | dr_willis And I don't really much like the way images move normally, and other images always seem to large. | 14:29 |
| carpediembaby | hi. what's the best way of searching for a string in each line of a file and copying the matching lines to another file? given that the input file is huge (~500 million lines) | 14:29 |
| marcs1989 | dr_willis I suppose we all have our preference! | 14:29 |
| verzx | ActionParsnip: Nope, that didn't seem to work. | 14:29 |
| verzx | ActionParsnip: It says now: E: Command line option --list is not understood | 14:29 |
| carpediembaby | is grep 'search_string' inputfile > output_file efficient enough? | 14:29 |
| llutz | carpediembaby: easiest "grep pattern file >newfile", but best...? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | verzx: is the file a list of just package names? | 14:30 |
| dr_willis | marcs1989: im not sure how you mean images moveing.. You can set a background image for gnome-terminal and it dosent move | 14:30 |
| verzx | ActionParsnip: Have a look at the link that I gave you. | 14:30 |
| carpediembaby | llutz: i was wondering if its efficient or not. and if someone knew an efficient solution | 14:30 |
| carpediembaby | in case grep isn't | 14:30 |
| verzx | ActionParsnip: wget http://zitstif.no-ip.org/bt5/toolslist.txt; sudo apt-get install `cat toolslist.txt` | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | verzx: the file isn't a package list | 14:31 |
| marcs1989 | dr_willis Yes, but then the image is too small or too big and it will always show the top right corner of the image. Otherwise, the image will scroll, and it will do so oddly when I'm reading pydocs | 14:31 |

| leetdood | i try to protect a process from oom killer and this comes up | 15:11 |
| leetdood | echo '-17' > /proc/9049/oom_adj | 15:11 |
| leetdood | -bash: /proc/9049/oom_adj: Permission denied | 15:11 |
| leetdood | does anybody know how i can fix this? | 15:11 |
| Pitel | I need help... I've packard bell netbook with intel atom n2600... and it does not boot to lightdm login. Also, replacing "quiet splash" with "text" in grub ends with black screen. booting recovery mode does not let me modify any files... so how the fsck should I fix it?! | 15:11 |
| e66 | I am getting "Starting crash report submission daemon [fail]" message during boot. How to fix it? | 15:12 |
| warmonkey | well i reached here in 5 yrs ago when i was middle school grade eight | 15:12 |
| warmonkey | i thikn you need sudo | 15:12 |
| Pici | leetdood: echo '-17' | sudo tee /proc/9049/oom_adj | 15:12 |
| ezhilvanan | which eclipse version is best for android development on ubuntu? | 15:12 |
| warmonkey | leetdood, use superuser for your operation | 15:12 |
| e66 | No idea | 15:13 |
| e66 | ? | 15:13 |
| warmonkey | ezhilvanan, i think you need newest version | 15:13 |
| warmonkey | latest | 15:13 |
| ezhilvanan | i'm using latest version of Eclipse. But it is not working well.. it is getting hang | 15:14 |

| ezhilvanan | warmonkey, yep | 15:15 |
| leetdood | warmonkey/pici: thank you very much! warmonkey's advice to use su worked for me | 15:15 |
| warmonkey | or use terminal to start eclipse in verbose mode or debug mode or sth else, so you can get more information about the error | 15:15 |

| Haris | Hello all | 15:18 |
| Haris | I just setup a 12.04lts 64bit box. I forgot the normal user/pass that's made through setup. Is there a way for me to re-set that user or root's pass ? The other option would be to rebuild this box. centos has an option to reboot the box in single user mode. The rescue mode. Where one can re-set the root pass. Do we have such an option with Ubuntu | 15:18 |
| warmonkey | try to config gtk-panel? use gtk properties config | 15:18 |
| c2tarun | ActionParsnip, ok, one more thing plz, what is difference between "sudo apt-get remove --purge package-name" and "sudo apt-get remove package-name && sudo apt-get autoremove" | 15:19 |
| warmonkey | Haris, use another os to edit /etc/passwd | 15:19 |
| escott | Haris, during setup it will ask you for the username password. you forgot that | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | c2tarun: the second command has no purge, so the configs outside of /home will stand | 15:19 |
| escott | warmonkey, you should never be editing /etc/passwd directly | 15:20 |
| Haris | warmonkey: that's not possible. I'm 10000 miles away. This box is sitting in a DC. I have kvm, apc to control it through | 15:20 |
| c2tarun | ActionParsnip, what do mean by configs outside of /home will stand? | 15:20 |
| escott | Haris, you boot into single user mode or chroot into the system | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | c2tarun: stuff in /etc and so on | 15:20 |
| Haris | escott: so configure grub to boot into single user mode the same way its done on centos ? | 15:20 |
| c2tarun | ActionParsnip, if we purge all the stuffs will be removed and autoremove will not be able to do it? | 15:20 |
| Haris | add the word 'single' at the end of 'the' line in grub options ? | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | c2tarun: it will also show in the output of: dpkg -l as 'rc' and you will need to run: sudo dpkg -P packagename to clean | 15:21 |
| escott | Haris, i believe that will work. there may already be a entry for it | 15:21 |
| warmonkey | purge = remove all configurations | 15:21 |
| escott | Haris, possibly called rescue | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | c2tarun: autoremove just removes the uneeded deps | 15:21 |
| Haris | ok, let me give this a go | 15:21 |
| warmonkey | purge can make all config info fully cleared | 15:21 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: oooh, didnt know that :) | 15:21 |
| mhsbec | Hil... Can anybody tell me how to install NCTUns in ubuntu? | 15:22 |

| c2tarun | ActionParsnip, sounds like --purge is good option, any particular reason why it is not the default behavior? | 15:22 |
| warmonkey | so you need another os to change passwd | 15:22 |
| Bktt | I changed my users passwd and now i cant remember. Is there any way to recovery it? | 15:22 |

| ericmcray | hello guys. i have 250GB Hdd which has 2 partition and 2 OS (win7 and ubuntu12). i bought a new 1TB hdd and i want to move win7 partition to new hdd. is it possible via ubuntu? | 15:24 |
| c2tarun | I found this page: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/ and it appears that it is pretty easy to break into someone machine with ubuntu installed. Isn't this a security threat? | 15:25 |
| warmonkey | c2tarun: no --purge will keep you config so if you install deb next time you'll get your config's back | 15:25 |
| Bktt | ActionParsnip: i had alredy tryed but i dont have a run passwd. I used to use sudo command with my own | 15:25 |
| Bktt | Root | 15:25 |

| escott | ericmcray, yes its called "dd" | 15:29 |

| Haris | ok | 15:30 |
| Haris | I have the recovery menu infront of me | 15:30 |
| escott | Haris, there should be a root shell option | 15:30 |

| warmonkey | if sudo works, use passwd command, search howto use passwd and you'll get solution to change another user passwd | 15:30 |
| ericmcray | thank you guys! | 15:31 |
| ericmcray | im gonna try it | 15:31 |

| === Limit__ is now known as Limit_ | ||
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, there is a whole spec for the icons which is distinct | 15:39 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, if the icon is properly named you shouldnt have to do anything it should just pick the correct one | 15:40 |
| Capprentice | install a icon set like faenza icons. | 15:40 |
| k1l | ubuntuu5er: you have an actual support issue? | 15:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: please elaborate. | 15:40 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html | 15:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: I'm creating my own custom launchers. | 15:40 |
| ubuntuu5er | k1l, sry not english .. | 15:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: many thanks | 15:41 |
| Capprentice | How you are creating launchers ? possibly using .desktop files | 15:41 |
| k1l | ubuntuu5er: dont just advertise your videos in here. | 15:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: yes | 15:41 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, if not that then try this http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html | 15:41 |
| Capprentice | so if you install an icon se you will just get whole bunch of new icons. Most of the icons we use come from the hicolor folder in /usr/share/icons | 15:41 |
| Capprentice | so if you install icon set you will get more varities there. | 15:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: using elementary for the most part | 15:42 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, " So, you're an application author, and want to install application icons so that they work in the KDE and Gnome menus. Minimally you should install a 48x48 icon in the hicolor theme. This means installing a PNG file in $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps. Optionally you can install icons in different sizes. For example, installing a svg icon in $prefix/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps means most desktops will have | 15:42 |
| escott | one icon that works for all sizes. You might even want to install icons with a look that matches other well known themes so your application will fit in with some specific desktop environment. | 15:42 |
| escott | It is recommended that the icons installed in the hicolor theme look neutral, since it is a fallback theme that will be used in combination with some very different looking themes. But if you don't have any neutral icon, please install whatever icon you have in the hicolor theme so that all applications get at least some icon in all themes. " | 15:42 |
| ubuntuu5er | k1l, sry. | 15:42 |
| === formation3 is now known as rvenbas | ||
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: I don't need more icons. I have installed ms office via playonlinux and am integrating those applications into the gnome menu | 15:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: so I dont have to open playonlinux and then, say, excell | 15:43 |
| Capprentice | When you install I think the menus are automatically created. I have once insalled MS office 2007 on wine and the menus were automatically created. I was using Unity though. | 15:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: so it will resize one icon to match the locations it is used? | 15:44 |
| ubuntuu5er | k1l, video is useful .. | 15:44 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, it is supposed to pick the closest size and then resize that. there are various rules about the whole process | 15:45 |
| Capprentice | are u saying that alt+f2 then write excel and excel will run ?1 | 15:45 |
| k1l | ubuntuu5er: then blog about it. this is a support channel where we solve problems and dont advertise stuff. | 15:45 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, as an icon designer you can either provide an svg icon which will be scale independent | 15:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: playonlinux disables winebuilder (what makes the menu), so thought I *had* a wine menu (removed it) they would not show up there. even were I using only wine I would still do this to better integrate. | 15:45 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, or provide multiple bitmaps at different sizes | 15:46 |
| Eksit | ;o | 15:46 |
| ubuntuu5er | k1l, okey :) | 15:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: no, but under playonlinux you can do alt+f2 playonlinux --run "Microsoft Excell 2010" and it will run. | 15:46 |

| yousaf | anyone familar with Rackspace? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | yousaf: in what relation to ubuntu ? | 15:47 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: I strongly advise you not to try to use wine type functions for anything you depend on | 15:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: yes, I already have multiple png icons extracted from ms .ico files. | 15:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: what I am wondering is where to stick them. | 15:48 |
| Capprentice | I was checking how wine works. I dont like to use MS tools on Linux. I have Windows for that :) Thanks for the suggestion though. | 15:48 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, in directories or the relevant size | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: a wise choice, use the platform the applications where designed to run on | 15:48 |
| Eksit | ^ that | 15:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikonia: sometimes that is not always an option ;( | 15:49 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: your info was sufficient, thankyou. | 15:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikonia: nor does it change what I said. | 15:50 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: you can do the same in terminal, type the first few letters of a command/file/directory and tab to finish it. | 15:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: so I would want to add these files into my current theme for them to show correctly? | 15:53 |
| Capprentice | ntzrmtthihu777, yes it works! i did not knew these. Thanks again. | 15:54 |
| Ohad | Anyone knows how I can run a program on startup? | 15:54 |
| Capprentice | Ohad, | 15:54 |
| Capprentice | use autostart | 15:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: its very usefull if you use terminal alot, like me (using irssi in terminal right now to talk to ya'll) | 15:55 |
| yousaf | ikonia installing PHP, Apache etc | 15:55 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, the launcher specifies a filename for the icon something like "programname.png" (right?) and then the theme engine knowing the size it wants searches all the directories for the best matching /usr/share/icons/hicolor/$SIZE/apps/programname.png | 15:55 |
| ikonia | yousaf: how does rackspace change it from the standard procedure ? | 15:55 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, ie you should not have to worry about the size. just populate the directories with a file of the same name in each | 15:55 |
| Capprentice | ntzrmtthihu777, itz very cool. I dont like terminal much though. | 15:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: ahah, so highcolor would be where to put them? again, I am using elementary. | 15:56 |
| Ohad | <Capprentice>: I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on arm, there is no such command... | 15:56 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, hicolor is the default hicolor theme | 15:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: if I understand right if there are no icon for something in my current theme it defaults to highcolor? | 15:57 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, a disabled person might be using a hicontrast theme, but they will fall back to hicolor if one cannot be found in hicolor | 15:57 |
| Capprentice | Ohad, there is no such command. I was talking about the "start up programs" you can find it under your user name. Click on there and see there is a entry for tat. | 15:57 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, it cascades first on size, then on theme name | 15:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: fascinating. | 15:57 |
| Capprentice | Ohad, im rite now sitting on fedora so cant tell u the xact what is there. nut just click ur user name. search there. you will find it. | 15:58 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, and there are various subtleties regarding svg, but generally an app icon is exclusively offered in svg or bitmap, but not both | 15:58 |
| Capprentice | what kind of format is XPM ? is it a bitmap kind of format ? | 15:58 |
| Ohad | <Capprentice> thanks, i'm searching... | 15:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: xpm is a text file | 15:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: in essense it is ascii art | 15:59 |
| escott | but it is a bitmap | 15:59 |
| Capprentice | ntzrmtthihu777, text file ?!!! i have xpm images on my hicolor folder !!!!!! | 15:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: try opening one with gedit, you will be in for a treat ;) | 15:59 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: what is an svs | 16:00 |
| Capprentice | SVG sorry. | 16:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: ah. xpm is more "readable", if I recall. | 16:01 |
| Haris | oops, wrong ubuntu room | 16:01 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, SVG is vector graphics. very different from a bitmap | 16:02 |
| mefistofeles | hey I can't set my screen brightness on a toshiba mini (with driver gma500), any ideas? I tried using acpi_backlight=vendor boot parameter and it didnt work | 16:02 |
| raj | why can't I do `sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0`? | 16:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: it is all like curves and lines described mathmatically, right? | 16:03 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, yes | 16:03 |
| k1l | raj: shsow the error message please (in a pastebin) | 16:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: whereas xpm is "this pixel is this color, the next one is that color, ect" right? | 16:04 |
| MonkeyDust | raj type sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0|pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see | 16:04 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, you draw a circle in SVG and scale it up and up and it remains circular, you blow up a circle of a bitmap and you start seeing the blockiness of the pixels | 16:05 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: gotcha. are you aware of any way to convert png to svg and get these benefits? | 16:05 |
| Haris | 1x box rebuild avoided | 16:06 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, not good ones, and its not necessarily better | 16:06 |
| pierreN | hi | 16:06 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: k. thank you again. | 16:06 |
| unborn | virtualbox in ubuntu repos broken eh | 16:06 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, with icons they have found that what works best is generally to start with an SVG, and then tweak it at each size (adjusting line width, removing elements for small images, adding detail for large images) and then creating a fixed size bitmap image | 16:07 |
| davis776 | how to check disk usage? external disk never goes stand by | 16:07 |
| MonkeyDust | davis776 df -h | 16:08 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, otherwise you have to compromise on the details and have an SVG that only looks good at intermediate images sizes | 16:08 |
| k1l | davis2042: lsof | 16:08 |
| Capprentice | use disk usage analyser if u prefer gui. | 16:08 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, or its like the gorilla theme, which has a minimalistic appeal to it at all sizes | 16:08 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: ahh, I see. so since I am fortunate enough to already have the icons in many sizes. | 16:08 |
| unborn | davidcalle, if you need simple one gparted | 16:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | unborn: ^ +1 | 16:09 |
| davis776 | MonkeyDust, Capprentice not this type of usage, I mean some kind of read/write activity (I enabled this http://i.imgur.com/7MKAxdQ.png but never goes to stand by) | 16:09 |

| Capprentice | How to get screen saver on Ubuntu 12 ? What does Project M do ? | 16:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: would you think its better to shrink an existing icon or grow? not all sizes are represented with my current collection of icons. | 16:15 |

| Capprentice | Avinash1, hello ! | 16:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ahhh | 16:16 |
| escott | ntzrmtthihu777, if you want more control over that, then you can optionally populate all sizes by making a choice as to which looks best | 16:17 |

| ccallahan | Hello! I have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 that has a UEFI BIOS. When I try to install Ubuntu using my USB mouse and keyboard, it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse. The BIOS will use them. GRUB will use then (when I try to install in UEFI mode). The Ubuntu pre-boot menu will use them. But when the GUI loads up, it just doesn't want to use them. I think it's | 17:26 |

| anon_2 | sorry | 17:37 |
| xangua | !java | Krustyklimber | 17:37 |
| ubottu | Krustyklimber: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 17:37 |

| anew | what is my smtp user and pass ? | 17:42 |

| billkd | anew: for I think anacron reports and things like that | 17:51 |
| lunitik | afflicto-laptop: Note that Gnome Shell has built in messaging, and so you don't actually need a client... just go into the settings and configure online accounts, then searching the overlay thing for contacts tells you if they're online. | 17:51 |

| ccallahan|mIRC | Hello! I have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 that has a UEFI BIOS. When I try to install Ubuntu 12.10 X86_64 using my USB mouse and keyboard, it doesn't recognize the keyboard and mouse. The BIOS will use them. GRUB will use then (when I try to install in UEFI mode). The Ubuntu pre-boot menu will use them. But when the GUI loads up, it just doesn't want to use them. I think it's a kernel issue, and I | 18:15 |
| ccallahan|mIRC | was wondering if there are any flags I can throw at it. | 18:15 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | mojtaba: something on your hard-disc totalling 4gb | 18:21 |

| mojtaba | ntzrmtthihu777: The information is not important, I just want to format it. | 18:22 |
| Capprentice | try installing a iso using unetbootin into that usb drive. It mightbe able to forcefully dlete everything within it. | 18:23 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: why use unet when we already have a built in one? | 18:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | kallep: Stop serer, move files to new location, point server to new location, start server. | 18:25 |
| escott | mojtaba, if it is u3, i would honestly recommend throwing it away | 18:25 |
| mojtaba1 | escott: how can I find it is u3 or not? | 18:26 |
| Capprentice | mojtaba, look friend, I have a usb drive made of SIGMATEL which have a small lock button on its right side. With tht button I can make the data read only. Check if there is somekind of button on any side to lock data inside it. | 18:26 |
| escott | mojtaba, there are some u3 tools im not familiar with their usage | 18:26 |
| mojtaba1 | Capprentice: It is a simple USB disk with no locking utility. | 18:26 |
| Capprentice | ntzrmtthihu777, what tool we have ? Im not aware of that. | 18:26 |
| elijah | llutz: Solved, it was because I was using a relative path, it wanted a full absolute path. I think it is because it must launch the process as another user. Since the script itself is not aware of my $PATH or any of my aliases. | 18:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: usb-creator-gtk | 18:27 |
| mojtaba1 | what is usb-creator-gtk? | 18:27 |

| elijah | llutz: Yeah, I guess I didn't catch that | 18:27 |
| Capprentice | ntzrmtthihu777, i guess it does not have an launcher attacted to it ?! | 18:28 |
| mojtaba1 | ntzrmtthihu777: what is unetbootin? | 18:28 |
| llutz | elijah: but glad you solved the issue | 18:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: Usually you use logrotate to maintain the logs, and you can configure how many how big are retained. | 18:28 |
| elijah | llutz: Do you know how I would make my script have everything in $PATH available to it? | 18:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Capprentice: it has one, search your dash | 18:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | mojtaba1: basically can take an iso and copy it to a usb drive bootable | 18:28 |

| elijah | llutz: I will try that | 18:29 |
| mojtaba1 | jhutchins_wk: Yes | 18:29 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: Have you tried as root? | 18:29 |
| mojtaba1 | yes | 18:29 |
| escott | mojtaba1, i would discourage you from trying anything with unetbootin until you can confirm it is not a u3 disk, as u3 will almost certainly not boot | 18:29 |
| elijah | ntzrmtthihu777: It is when I run gnome-terminal as a keyboard shortcut | 18:29 |
| Capprentice | mojtaba1, do a thing - opn terminal then - gksu nautilus then go to usb. try deleting. | 18:30 |
| Capprentice | files | 18:30 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: have you looked at dmesg to see why? | 18:30 |

| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: More important for you to read and understand it. | 18:31 |
| elijah | ntzrmtthihu777: K, that is working, I put it in my script and it says it is me | 18:31 |
| elijah | When I run gnome-terminal as a keyboard shortcut though my aliases don't work in my commands | 18:31 |

| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: Ordinarily you would do mkfs.exte /dev/sda1 - but that might not work here since you're getting hardware errors. | 18:37 |

| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: So unplug, clear dmesg, re-connect & dmesg | 18:40 |
| elijah | escott: But a different question | 18:40 |
| elijah | escott: So .bashrc should be loaded everytime regardless if it is a login shell? | 18:41 |
| elijah | escott: Is there a way to tell what state a shell is? login or not? | 18:41 |
| anew | argh yeah no email and nothing showing in logs jhutchins_wk | 18:41 |
| escott | elijah, i dont remember all the rules on bash login. should be in the info pages for bash startup | 18:41 |

| llutz | elijah: or short "shopt login_shell" | 18:45 |
| davidsloan | I used Brasero to burn image and it said some files may not have burned correctly. | 18:45 |
| mojtaba1 | I just want to format a USB disk. | 18:45 |
| davidsloan | I put it into my Ubuntu tower and it found the CD but nothing on it.. | 18:46 |
| llutz | mojtaba1: your usb-device seems broken | 18:46 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: Only lines 3478-3497 are significant, but the fact that it immediately goes into error mode indicates that the hardware is probably bad. | 18:46 |
| elijah | llutz: broader bash question, the first command you gave. Does the echo work of true false? like a sort of ternary operation? | 18:46 |
| mojtaba1 | jhutchins_wk: then there is no way to format it in low level mode? | 18:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: You can try 1) make sure it's unmounted, 2) see what fdisk -l thinks about it, 3) see if fdisk /dev/sdc works, 4) if so, delete and recreate the partition, then format it. | 18:47 |
| Nimble | I'm trying to get my touchpad to work with multitouch gestures. I know the hardware has support for it because it works in windows, but on ubuntu the only thing that works is two finger scrolling. Anyone know what I can do? | 18:47 |
| escott | elijah, if the first command returns error then the second is short circuited out of the logic evaluation jumping to the third | 18:47 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: No, once USB/flash drives fail they're done. | 18:47 |
| llutz | elijah: yes, "command && do something if command succeeds || do something if command fails" | 18:48 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba1: Nothing on a flash drive is yours to keep forever. | 18:48 |
| elijah | That is awesome! | 18:48 |
| escott | elijah, if the first succeeds then the second is evaluated which always succeeds and the third is short circuited out | 18:48 |
| davidsloan | Anyone? | 18:48 |
| TheLordOfTime | apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade all packages to latest, including the kernel, for each respective release, correct? | 18:49 |
| elijah | It turns out my gnome-terminal launched as a keyboard shortcut is not a login shell. But what is weird is that it isn't even getting what is in .bashrc | 18:49 |
| escott | elijah, again im not sure it would | 18:49 |
| escott | elijah, non-login shells are for scripts generally or when the encompassing environment is already parsed | 18:49 |
| escott | elijah, a non-login shell probably doesn't read anything | 18:50 |
| toke | hello | 18:50 |

| davidsloan | I am very new to Linux and just built my first computer. I'm running a dual boot with Windows 7. Motherboard is GA-78LMT-S2P, and LAN is Atheros/Realtek GbE. I am connecting through my router (on another computer of course) via wire. Windows 7 finds the connection fine, Ubuntu does not. Light in back does not even come on... | 18:56 |
| toke | 1 sec, ill find the command i used | 18:56 |
| eutheria | well this is annoying, i've not idea what dns servers i am using | 18:56 |

| shady_beast | hey man, how do i connect to jtv? >jtvirc.com | 18:57 |
| Praash | Hey guys, I've had trouble accessing my new Ubuntu Server machine through SSH. Turns out that the machine is not able to connect to the internet at all. Could someone help me set up the network configurations? | 18:57 |
| h00k | shady_beast: with a web-browser? | 18:57 |
| toke | It was mkdir "/mnt/loop mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/loop" | 18:57 |
| Sub-Zero_ | modem related question. I use Wvdial. modem stops receiving data but keeps sending data. | 18:57 |

| Sub-Zero_ | modem related question. I use Wvdial. modem stops receiving data but keeps sending data. | 18:58 |
| Nimble | hm | 18:58 |
| Nimble | did you use the quotes like that, too? | 18:58 |
| toke | No quotes | 18:58 |
| escott | elijah, is what you are running non-interactive | 18:59 |
| davidsloan | I am very new to Linux and just built my first computer. I'm running a dual boot with Windows 7. Motherboard is GA-78LMT-S2P, and LAN is Atheros/Realtek GbE. I am connecting through my router (on another computer of course) via wire. Windows 7 finds the connection fine, Ubuntu does not. Light in back does not even come on... | 18:59 |
| elijah | escott: Yeah, I just need to watch the output and then it closes | 18:59 |
| elijah | escott: it clears cache on my local website (Drupal) | 18:59 |
| escott | elijah, there are different rules for non-interactive shells | 18:59 |
| Nimble | toke, on the terminal you have open run this without quotes "cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager" | 18:59 |
| elijah | escott: gtk | 18:59 |
| Nimble | and paste the output here | 18:59 |
| Nimble | should be one line | 18:59 |
| h00k | davidsloan: you don't even get a link-light when plugged in? | 19:00 |
| ioria | davidsloan: you have to configure samba, i think | 19:00 |
| escott | elijah, your non-interactive script should make no assumptions about what the environment is, you should also be aware that /bin/sh is not bash | 19:00 |
| toke | It returns /usr/sbin/lightdm | 19:00 |
| davidsloan | no Light. | 19:00 |
| Nimble | k | 19:00 |
| escott | elijah, so verify your shebangs are correct as well | 19:00 |
| toke | But I'm doing it from a different account | 19:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | I suppose we could have told mojtaba1 to dd zeros to the the device, but I think it's toast. | 19:00 |
| elijah | escott: I am using /bin/bash | 19:00 |
| h00k | davidsloan: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 19:00 |
| davidsloan | But when I am running windows 7, I do.. | 19:01 |
| davidsloan | 12.10 | 19:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: many thanks for your links and help, I now have microsoft office beutifully integrated into my gnomemenu | 19:01 |
| kingbeast | davidsloan, pm? | 19:01 |
| elijah | escott: #!/bin/bash | 19:01 |
| h00k | !pm | kingbeast, davidsloan | 19:01 |
| ubottu | kingbeast, davidsloan: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 19:01 |
| elijah | escott: Is that correct? (my first time) | 19:01 |
| Nimble | toke: Try running these in order "sudo stop lightdm" "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" "sudo restart lightdm" | 19:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | davidsloan: on-board NIC? | 19:01 |
| davidsloan | sure | 19:01 |
| jhutchins_wk | davidsloan: Not USB? | 19:01 |
| escott | elijah, for bash yes. but for a non-interactive script you should probably assume that nothing is being read | 19:01 |
| davidsloan | On board | 19:02 |
| kingbeast | su h00k | 19:02 |
| elijah | escott: I will read up on non-interactive scripts | 19:02 |
| jhutchins_wk | lspci -nn, find the network chipset. | 19:02 |
| elijah | escott: It is working okay for now! Thanks for all your help | 19:02 |
| escott | elijah, just put any variables you need in the script, in the actual script. if you want to share some variables between your script and an interactive session, put them into another file and source them in bashrc as well as the script | 19:02 |

| theadmin | prashant_123456: Then don't install updates all the time... Say once a month should be fine. | 19:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: dear god, monthly updates on 28kbs? are you crazy? | 19:31 |

All I did was try to delete the ubuntu iso. | 19:32 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: yeah, I get that, but a months worth of updates at once would be hellish at 28kips | 19:33 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | prashant_123456: that's because it had no gui to bug you with | 19:35 |
| theadmin | prashant_123456: Because you're supposed to "pacman -Syu" manually, it won't "ask" you about anything. | 19:35 |

| qwertyomen | prashant_123456: I'm sitting in class right now with issri in the command line scrolling down it's on dedicated monitor and my classmates are like dude what are you doing? | 19:41 |
| theadmin | leptone: You can make custom CDs with Remastersys, Reconstructor, Relinux and UCK. None of them work too great but you might have some luck | 19:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: right-click, open | 19:41 |
| davidsloan | I just put it on a flash drive and found it... | 19:41 |
| havok | Hey, Anyone have a link for instructions that work to install wow? I have it copied onto my linux partition, I have wine, and I have PlayOnlinux | 19:41 |
| === marc_ is now known as Guest88241 | ||
| theadmin | havok: #winehq | 19:41 |
| davidsloan | Run the program? | 19:42 |
| julian-delphiki | and / or check out the appdb | 19:42 |
| Lainey41214 | I'm sorry. I used Unetbootin. | 19:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: ok, that works. now what is the extensions for the file | 19:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | havok: playonlinux has an installer script. | 19:42 |
| davidsloan | ....tar.bz2 | 19:42 |
| theadmin | Lainey41214: Hm, okay, well, recreate the partition table. On Ubuntu you can use GParted, on Windows, go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk/Volume management and use that. | 19:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: ah, its source package. | 19:42 |
| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, yeah i know how to do that. but ive only used live cd's to do installs. can i save data to the disk. will i just select "try ubuntu" each time i boot from the disk? | 19:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: you need to right-click the file and chose extract here | 19:43 |
| elixir | Hi. I am using ubuntu 12.10 and" gnome-shell --version" gives me 'gnome-shell --version'. I am not able to install Axe Menu from extensions.gnome.org. Please help ! Badly stuck here since long ? | 19:43 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | leptone: not much experience there. | 19:43 |
| theadmin | elixir: You're not supposed to type commands with quotes, you know that right? | 19:44 |
| davidsloan | Extract it in the Flash Drive? | 19:44 |
| havok | Huh, what do you mean by an installer script? ntzrmtthihu777, | 19:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: if it has space, yes | 19:44 |
| keldwud | *Krieger | 19:44 |
| keldwud | whoops, wrong channel | 19:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | havok: open playonlinux, click install, click the games icon, and then scroll down for wow | 19:44 |
| elixir | theadmin: Didn't had idea. Will take care in future. Can you guide me with my query? | 19:45 |
| davidsloan | Done. | 19:45 |
| havok | Oh! | 19:45 |
| theadmin | elixir: Well, Gnome Shell isn't really an environment that's common with Ubuntu and I only glanced at it once and ran away in horror so I'm afraid not :P | 19:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: do you have nautilus-terminal installed? | 19:45 |
| nima_ | hello guys! | 19:45 |
| Lainey41214 | I tried to create a partition table, but it says that it's currently active. | 19:46 |
| davidsloan | Don't know what that is.. | 19:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Lainey41214: unmount it | 19:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: ok, open a terminal, and type cd /media/ then hit tab twice | 19:46 |
| nima_ | i want canon i-SENSYS mf4400 drivers for ubuntu but i can't find it! | 19:46 |
| Chat4131 | Hey | 19:46 |
| elixir | theadmin: lol, np ;) I seems that its time for me too to run :P | 19:46 |
| nima_ | how can i find it!> | 19:46 |
| nima_ | ? | 19:46 |
| Lainey41214 | If I unmount it, then it won't show up. | 19:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Lainey41214: yes it will, if you are under ubuntu | 19:47 |
| davidsloan | Ok. | 19:47 |
| escott | Lainey41214, ubuntu will also automatically swapon any swap devices it sees so if you have one of those it will make the partition active | 19:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: it should have listed a few things, one is your usb stick. cd into it | 19:47 |
| theadmin | Lainey41214: Use GParted to unmount, Nautilus doesn't have a sane way to unmount devices (it ejects them instead, thereby removing their /dev nodes) | 19:47 |
| toke | retrieve a few of my important files from the encrypted account (I have no idea how to do this) | 19:47 |
| nima_ | i know but it can't find its drivers! | 19:47 |
| davidsloan | one of them IS my usb stick.. | 19:48 |
| nima_ | what can i do?! | 19:48 |
| Lainey41214 | I'm using gparted. When I unmount, the partition doesn't show. | 19:48 |
| escott | toke, have you looked at the instructions in ~/.Private or on the !encrypted link | 19:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | nima_: best I can say is google your distro and the device | 19:48 |
| nima_ | i googled it but no choice! | 19:48 |
| toke | I don't now how to get to it, as I can't su to the account | 19:48 |
| escott | Lainey41214, there is a difference between unmounting and ejecting. if you unmount through nautilus it will unmount and eject. | 19:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: exactly, cd into the usb stick, and then into the new folder you got from extracting the tarball | 19:48 |
| escott | Lainey41214, you can manually unmount with "sudo umount /media/whatever | 19:49 |
| davidsloan | You lost me. | 19:49 |
| nima_ | any chance?! | 19:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: when you tapped tab twice it gave you some options, right? | 19:49 |
| bazhang | nima_, check linuxprinting.org database for drivers | 19:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !patience | nima_ | 19:49 |
| ubottu | nima_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 19:49 |
| anew | when i set my system mail name... can i make it mysite.com or do i have to make it mail.mysite.com ? | 19:49 |
| davidsloan | I didn't know those were options. | 19:50 |
| toke | @escott I don't now how to get to it, as I can't su to the account | 19:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: yes, those are options, type the one that matches your usb device | 19:50 |

| Snake2k | Hello everyone, im new to ubuntu, I ran a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and I got this problem "http://codepad.org/utTUCCNj".. How do i remove this? | 19:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: ok, what was the folder when you extracted it | 19:52 |
| escott | toke, get to what? | 19:52 |
| toke | ~/.Private | 19:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | escott: his thingus. | 19:52 |
| davidsloan | compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 | 19:52 |
| theadmin | Snake2k: PPA entries are stored under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, just remove the respective files. | 19:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: cd com then tab | 19:53 |
| Snake2k | theadmin: Thank you :) | 19:53 |
| escott | toke, the same way you would get to any other folder on the system. /home/whatever/.Private | 19:53 |
| jhutchins_wk | Snake2k: Comment out that repo in your sources.list | 19:53 |
| theadmin | Snake2k: There's also a neat graphical app for that, software-properties-gtk ("Software Sources" in the menus) | 19:53 |
| davidsloan | lost me again. | 19:53 |
| nima_ | i'm downloading the drivers you said but what am i gonna do with it?! | 19:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: cd means change directory. cd foo moves you into the folder foo | 19:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | nima_: read the readme | 19:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: you can complete long names in the terminal by typing the first few letters then tab | 19:54 |
| Snake2k | jhutchins_w: Thanks, doing that :).. theadmin: I'll check that out :) | 19:54 |
| nima_ | i can not understand its not English! | 19:55 |
| Juanito_Velasque | nima_: Then you are in the wrong channel, look for you localiszed channel | 19:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: so in your case cd com<tab> will expand to cd compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 | 19:55 |
| leptone | im trying to make a bootable ubuntu usb. not a live cd for install. rather im looking for i distro i cn put on a disk boot from that disk and write to that disk. anyone? | 19:55 |
| davidsloan | got it. | 19:56 |
| theadmin | leptone: Just install Ubuntu to the stick then, as you would to a hard drive. | 19:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !persistent | leptone | 19:56 |
| ubottu | leptone: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 19:56 |

| davidsloan | The folder came up. | 19:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: you hit enter? | 19:56 |
| bazhang | leptone, make it a persistent usb | 19:56 |
| toke | Yes haha, but when I try and get to /home/toke I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "toke" | 19:56 |

| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, thx | 19:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | leptone: what theadmin said. use a cd to install to the usb stick | 19:56 |
| toke | @escott Yes haha, but when I try and get to /home/toke I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "toke" | 19:56 |
| davidsloan | Yes. | 19:56 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: do ls, there should be a file like config in the folder | 19:57 |
| bazhang | Lainey41214, its umount, not unmount | 19:57 |
| davidsloan | when I hit enter : media/sloan/SecureGuard/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1$ | 19:57 |
| superkuh | Is there a PPA for newer versions of glib? I am using 10.04 (lucid) still but I can't compile most new software because of dependency issues. Compiling glib myself and configuring it correctly is extremely daunting. | 19:57 |
| escott | toke, then sudo -i | 19:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: very good. | 19:58 |
| bazhang | superkuh, search the ppa at launchpad and find out | 19:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: now type ls then enter | 19:58 |
| escott | toke, you might also try sudo su username if you were just trying su username | 19:58 |
| escott | toke, i dont know if that will make a difference or not | 19:58 |
| bazhang | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas <------- superkuh | 19:58 |

| superkuh | Thanks bazhang. | 19:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: please address me by name so I can notice you better. | 19:59 |
| anew | system mail name = hostname, but is hostname my machine name ? | 19:59 |

| davidsloan | ntz.... I'm guessing everything in the folder | 19:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: one should be something like config or config.sh or configuration | 19:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | davidsloan: just type ntz<tab> | 19:59 |
| davidsloan | ntzrmtthihu777, config.mk | 20:00 |

| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, no, just for bit coin wallet. how big would u recommend? | 20:15 |
| davidsloan | ntzrmtthihu777, no problem. Should we PM? | 20:15 |
| Lainey41214 | If it won't unmount without ejecting, does it mean it's broken? | 20:15 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, do you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 20:15 |
| kevrodg | /part | 20:15 |
| superkuh | Do you think using Debian backports of Glib 2.28 would work on Ubuntu lucid? | 20:15 |

| superkuh | danol, yeah... I use playonlinux for it to manage the wine installs. | 20:16 |
| Snake2k | tgm4883, Yes i do.. for the 'extras' i have 2 files.. ubuntu-extras.list and ubuntu-extras.list.save.. Is this the problem? | 20:16 |
| havok | Does anyone know why Xchat GNOME is recommended? It seems to be a pain in the butt compared to regular Xchat | 20:16 |
| FlowRiser | danol, i play LoL ... you want it on linux ? | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, probably. You have it listed in sources.list and in ubuntu-extras.list (i'm guessing). The .save file isn't an issue | 20:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | havok: use irssi, its a termanal irc client | 20:17 |
| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, i dont really know what a swap partition is... | 20:17 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, can you pastebin the ubuntu-extras.list file | 20:17 |
| Snake2k | tgm4883, Sure | 20:17 |
| Snake2k | tgm4883: http://codepad.org/XOgHN2Kv contents of ubuntu-extras.list | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, yea that is the problem | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, Just remove the extras lines from sources.list | 20:19 |
| Lainey41214 | Is it safe to assume that my usb stick is broken? | 20:19 |
| tgm4883 | leave that file | 20:19 |
| Snake2k | tgm4883, any one line? | 20:19 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, I don't know the original issue you had, but I've not seen the (requested) complete command you ran | 20:19 |
| tgm4883 | Snake2k, looks like line 57 and 58 on http://codepad.org/8KnkIDl2 | 20:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !swap | leptone | 20:20 |
| ubottu | leptone: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 20:20 |

| DylanCl | Hello, recently I got a blue screen of death on windows, that's why I switched to ubuntu. Now, is there a way to completely remove windows 7 inside ubuntu? | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, first, there is a space between -l and the path. Second, I didn't want that full path, just /media | 20:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Lainey41214: you should have a space between the two | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, 'ls -l /' | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | err | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, 'ls -l /media' | 20:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | DylanCl: yes, easily. | 20:24 |
| DylanCl | How do I do that | 20:24 |
| bazhang | DylanCl, wubi install? | 20:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | DylanCl: just delete the partition with windows, and then grow ubuntu into it. | 20:25 |
| havok__ | Oh, I wasn't trying to poll. I am honestly confused.-- I'm brand new to linux, and Mint seems to have a different set of apps- I keep confusing myself | 20:25 |
| DylanCl | I used the windows installer. | 20:25 |
| DylanCl | Installed it when I had windows | 20:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | DylanCl: then no, you will have to re-install. during that you can eraise windows completely | 20:25 |
| bazhang | havok__, xchat-gnome is supposed to follow gnome more closely, many would opt for the regular xchat | 20:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | havok__: different distros use different programs, its the name of the game | 20:26 |
| Lainey41214 | Like this? 'sudo umount ls -l /media'? | 20:26 |
| Lainey41214 | It says 'total 4 | 20:26 |
| Lainey41214 | drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 Mar 8 15:26 lainey' | 20:26 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, exactly. So now how about 'ls -l /media/lainey' | 20:27 |
| Lainey41214 | It says it's not found. | 20:28 |
| Lainey41214 | 'umount: ls: not found | 20:28 |
| Lainey41214 | umount: /media/lainey: not mounted' | 20:28 |
| Lainey41214 | I put 'sudo umount ls -l /media/lainey' | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, oh sorry, that is my fault. I should stop trying to do two things at once | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, take the umount out of that command | 20:29 |
| Lainey41214 | It's okay. | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, I'm just trying to get a listing of that dir | 20:29 |
| Lainey41214 | 'sudo ls -l /media/lainey' | 20:30 |
| Lainey41214 | 'total 0' | 20:30 |

| zorky | qwertyomen, yeah, i got it booted up. it works :D | 20:30 |
| qwertyomen | sweet! | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, so either a previous command already unmounted it, or it's mounted elsewhere | 20:31 |
| Lainey41214 | It keeps ejecting periodically. | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, on it's own? | 20:31 |
| qwertyomen | zorky: what all got it working? | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, I'm sorry, I wasn't here from the start. Is that the original issue? If so, why are you trying to umount it? | 20:32 |

| anew | can anyone help with this error i've been on it for over an hour and ahalf | 20:33 |
| Lainey41214 | The original issue is that I cannot format the usb stick. It says that it's full, but there's nothing in the file. | 20:34 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, odd. That is in disk manager? | 20:34 |
| tgm4883 | sorry, disk utility | 20:34 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: 1) What was the last thing you did before it broke? 2) Does that file exist and is it a postfix db? | 20:34 |

| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: Try fdisk -l | 20:35 |
| anew | yes that file exists | 20:35 |
| Lainey41214 | fdisk -l | 20:35 |

| jhutchins_wk | anew: What guide are you following? | 20:35 |
| Lainey41214 | I did it, and it unmounted again. | 20:36 |
| anew | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix | 20:36 |
| anew | this one | 20:36 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: That's ok, you don't want it mounted if you need to format it. | 20:36 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: You only mount things to deal with what's in them, to deal with disks/partitions you work directly with the un-mounted device. | 20:36 |
| qwertyomen | zorky: no prob I'm saving those links in my bookmarks now... :D | 20:36 |

| Lainey41214 | tgm4883 I previously used it to install ubuntu. Now, I want to delete everything in there, so I can use it for other stuff, but it won't let me. One person told me that I have to unmount it so I can recreate a partition table, but so far It keeps ejecting when I unmount. It also ejects whenever I try to delete the contents of the file manually. | 20:38 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, what version of Ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| Lainey41214 | 12.10 | 20:38 |
| anew | jhutchins_wk cant find anything in google | 20:38 |
| jhutchins_wk | anew: All I can suggest is that you go back through the steps and see if you missed something. | 20:39 |
| anew | argh ok | 20:39 |
| anew | thx | 20:39 |
| tqrst | Why can I only hear sound when I am in the first terminal? X, and any of the other terminals doesn't have any sound. I am using xmonad on ubuntu 12.04, started with startx + xmonad in my .xinitrc. I'm in the audio group already. | 20:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: Eject=unmount. | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, have you tried formatting it from "disk utility" | 20:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: You can't partition or format with it mounted. | 20:40 |
| Lainey41214 | jhutchins_wk someone here said that they're different. | 20:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: They were wrong. | 20:40 |
| Lainey41214 | tgm4883 How do I do that? | 20:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: That's only true of a disc. | 20:40 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, once you have disk utility open, you should see the drive in the left pane | 20:41 |
| tqrst | killing pulseaudio fixed it | 20:41 |
| tqrst | for dubious values of fix | 20:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | Lainey41214: If you used it as an installer it probably doesn't have a partition, and you'll probably want one, so yes, fdisk or parted to create a partition. | 20:41 |
| tgm4883 | Lainey41214, have you looked at the disk utility section of http://askubuntu.com/questions/185815/how-do-i-clear-everything-data-viruses-from-a-thumbdrive | 20:42 |

| sumesh | My friend tried to install Fedora, and the Windows entry seemed inaccessible in Grub menu. I installed Ubuntu, also tried boot repair from a live USB (am typing this from it) | 21:17 |
| sumesh | Is there any way to fix it? I know all Windows files are intact, and it is at /dev/sda5 | 21:17 |
| leptone | ntzrmtthihu777, yeah but i want the usb to be persistant. not a live disk. so i need to install from the live cd to the USB as if it were my HD (i think) and i cant find my live disk so im making a new one and ive never done it in ubuntu before. | 21:17 |
| cheese1756_ | sumesh: Check against this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10#doc_chap2 | 21:18 |
| cheese1756_ | Just make sure all the Windows parts are correct | 21:18 |
| cheese1756_ | Not Ubuntu, but the Gentoo handbook should work for this | 21:18 |
| holstein | cheese1756_: i would go to synaptic and install an older version til that gets fixed | 21:18 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: eventually things wear out, its part of life. | 22:33 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: backup the data and get a new disk, copy the data back on | 22:33 |
| afflicto_ | ikonia: there was no "default" there for some reason. I also disableed SSL on the copy i named "harald". | 22:34 |

| heyya123432 | ikonia: thats it? | 22:34 |

| ikonia | heyya123432: that's it | 22:34 |
| heyya123432 | ikonia: ive had this drive for only like 3 years | 22:34 |
| ikonia | afflicto_: sorry - you're not making any sense, you've just said you changes the ssl-site.conf and you're surprised why it doesn't do anything when you visit http | 22:34 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: so ? | 22:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: what kinda drive is it, standar or ssd? | 22:34 |
| heyya123432 | ntzrmtthihu777: it is a hybrid i think | 22:35 |
| ikonia | it's not | 22:35 |
| ikonia | as they where not around 3 years ago | 22:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | ikonia: good deduction. | 22:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: was it brand new when you got it, or did you inherit it? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: how big is the disk | 22:35 |
| heyya123432 | ntzrmtthihu777: brand new here it is http://www.amazon.com/G73JW-A1-Republic-Gamers-17-3-Inch-Gaming/dp/B0041RRS0I | 22:36 |
| heyya123432 | 500gb | 22:37 |
| ikonia | ok so it's not an SSD | 22:37 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: backup your data - stop using the disk, buy a new one, restore your data | 22:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: what ikonia said. dd works wonders for that. | 22:37 |
| maik89 | ps3 | 22:37 |
| heyya123432 | ikonia: i backed it up already | 22:37 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: ok, so now yu know what you need to do | 22:38 |
| heyya123432 | i was hoping there was a fix though so i wouldn't have to buy a new drive | 22:38 |
| heyya123432 | kind tight on money right now | 22:38 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: no | 22:38 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: it's not a bug - it's hardware failure | 22:38 |
| heyya123432 | is that normal for a drive to fail so quickly | 22:38 |
| heyya123432 | i use my system ALOT | 22:38 |
| ikonia | possible, yes | 22:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: depends on what you are doing | 22:38 |
| heyya123432 | what kind of SSD should I get? | 22:39 |
| heyya123432 | i can probably spend like 250 or something | 22:39 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: none | 22:39 |
| heyya123432 | probably cant afford 500gb though | 22:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: ssd can be expensive relative to normal hdd | 22:39 |
| ikonia | heyya123432: I suggest using the ##hardware channel | 22:39 |
| heyya123432 | i think the major bottle neck on this system is these slow spinning disks | 22:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | heyya123432: possibly, but note that flash memory wears out faster than normal hdd. | 22:40 |
| heyya123432 | ntzrmtthihu777: man this sucks | 22:41 |
| al_ | I have a gtx260 and am having trouble with screen tearing and lag when dragging windows etc. I have tried the prop. driver with no. ANy ideas? | 22:41 |
| heyya123432 | ntzrmtthihu777: ssd is awesome but wears out and normal hard drive wore out on me in like 2 years or something | 22:41 |
| heyya123432 | i guess thats just the name of the game though | 22:42 |
| heyya123432 | i thought these things would last like 20 years or something | 22:42 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | superkuh: gnome3 has a mode that makes it look like gnome2. | 22:47 |
| ikonia | superkuh: no - it's dead and gone | 22:47 |
| k1l_ | superkuh: no its not. you could use some gnome2 lookalikes | 22:47 |
| superkuh | I have written a large number of perl and Tk scripts that depend on the Nautilus interface. | 22:47 |

| superkuh | Hm. Okay. I am backing up everything now. I have been putting off the "upgrade" from 10.04 for too long. I can no longer install the most basic of programs because of their glib requirements. | 22:48 |
| superkuh | Or because my gcc is so old. | 22:48 |

| MoPac | Hi all -- I'm having vexing problems with getting settings to persist related to workspace switching. Regardless of whether I enter key bindings in Compiz or in the Ubuntu settings keyboard shortcuts (or both), after a few restarts, I find the settings reverted to defaults or otherwise not functioning. | 22:50 |
| superkuh | I am glad I was confused. If nautilus is still there I should be okay. | 22:50 |
| MoPac | Further, I have edge flipping enabled, and often (like right now), the edge will flip once, then it will not work anymore until I have manually switched workspaces and selected/unselected some windows | 22:50 |
| DexterityFlux | So do you guys recommend that I partition my drive with windows first or with the ubuntu installer? | 22:50 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: I would use the ubuntu installer | 22:51 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: Are you making a dual-boot installation? | 22:51 |
| y2j | anyway of getting my bluetooth headphones to work with pc | 22:51 |
| DexterityFlux | yes | 22:51 |
| DexterityFlux | i have win 7 preinstalled | 22:51 |
| y2j | it has built in bluetooth adapter | 22:51 |
| DexterityFlux | and going to install ubuntu using usb drive | 22:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superkuh: wazzit do and how do you use it. | 22:51 |
| DexterityFlux | afraid i'll get no boot menu like last time though | 22:51 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: Well, you might need to resize your current Windows partition within Windows to get the space freed up first? | 22:52 |
| teear | wazaa nigga huu use eer de | 22:52 |
| DexterityFlux | so I should go from windows first? | 22:52 |
| ihre | After I reboot my 12.10 server, I recieve the error "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host reboot" when I try to connect with SSH. If I restart the service on the server itself (its in the same room as my PC, easily accessible), SSH will work again. How can I fix this ? | 22:52 |
| superkuh | ntzrmtthihu777, it's a Nautilus-Script. It goes in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts . | 22:52 |
| teear | Wazaa | 22:52 |
| ikonia | teear: stop | 22:52 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: I don't think it makes a super huge difference, but I felt more comforable letting Windows protect itself as it freed up the other space | 22:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superkuh: gotcha. whats it for | 22:52 |
| teear | Stopped no loop here | 22:52 |
| superkuh | You then call it from the right click nautilus script menu to open up pdf or other documents. | 22:53 |
| superkuh | It acts as a filter for text to speech stuff and handles calling TTS binaries. | 22:53 |
| teear | Fucking reggae nigga | 22:53 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: My advice would be to use Windows to shrink the Windows partition and leave the rest of the drive as empty space. THEN use the Ubuntu installer to actually set up all the Linux-related partitions | 22:53 |
| superkuh | REally I don't care if that part of it works. Just that it can get the names of files from nautilus. | 22:53 |
| DexterityFlux | okay i'll do it from windows.. now i go shrink volume and then choose the space I want (30 gbs) and then thats unallocated space and then create a simple volume? | 22:53 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superkuh: I get how to use nautilus works, but what should I expect as output | 22:53 |
| DexterityFlux | or just leave it as unallocated? | 22:53 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: One more thing: are you planning on using full-disk encryption for the Ubuntu stuff? | 22:53 |
| DexterityFlux | Mopac: ^ | 22:53 |
| DexterityFlux | probably not because i don't even know what that means hahaha | 22:54 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: I would say leave it unallocated and let the Ubuntu installer take care of everything | 22:54 |
| superkuh | ntzrmtthihu777, do you see the screen shot on that page? The little GUI that says, TkTTS? | 22:54 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kk | 22:54 |
| DexterityFlux | okay | 22:54 |
| MoPac | DexterityFlux: anyway, if you do decide that you want to use the encryption feature, I found it more or less impossible to do with the Ubuntu 12.10 installer and dual boot, at least in a way that made sense. But it was pretty easy to do it with the 12.04 alternate installer and then upgrade in place to 12.10 | 22:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | superkuh: and will this actuall modify my file or create a new one with changes. | 22:55 |
| superkuh | It won't create or modify any files. | 22:55 |
| DexterityFlux | MoPac: okay! thank you.. | 22:56 |

| k1l_ | superkuh: nautilus is the file explorer of gnome. no matter if gnome2 or gnome3. i dont see your point | 22:56 |
| superkuh | Well, it will make /tmp/tts_temp.txt if you actually run it and you have all the system binaries. | 22:56 |
| superkuh | k1l_, right. I was very confused and wrong before about nautilus. | 22:56 |
| MoPac | Is there any experience in the room with Compiz settings for workspace/viewport switching? | 22:56 |
| achandra | MartinS, yep it needs some scrubbing...how much did you want me to fix or for DE do you want to sort it | 22:57 |
| superkuh | ikonia, gcc 4.4.3 doesn't have the C++11 loops of later gcc. So it does matter in quite a lot of things I try to compile. But that's just an aside. | 22:57 |

| superkuh | I do appreciate the help regardless. | 22:59 |

| y2j | _cronus_: how come 12.10 has problems that 12.04 didnt | 23:00 |
| y2j | confusing | 23:00 |

| y2j | its not a beta | 23:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | if you want it to be like lucid was install gnome-panel | 23:00 |
| k1l_ | y2j: it uses another kernel and other driver and program versions. so there might be some problems that wasnt there on 12.04. but that is not a genereal issue | 23:01 |
| MoPac | GOAL: I want to mount some encfs volumes at startup and then be able to manage them with Cryptkeeper. PROBLEM: (a) if I mount using encfs command, Cryptkeeper doesn't recognize them, even if the volume info is identical to info in the GUI's favories. (b) I don't know if/how I can write a script to tell Cryptkeeper to do something rather than "encfs". | 23:01 |

| DexterityFlux | hey guys when i'm installing should I check the download updates while installing? and third party software? | 23:12 |
| k1l_ | DexterityFlux: yep | 23:13 |
| sam113101 | DexterityFlux: it's your choice man… that's why you can check/uncheck them | 23:13 |
| DexterityFlux | okay.. just wanted to see if maybe you guys thought i should do different | 23:14 |
| samurai | hello . today i install something that i dont know . after that my unity-panel-service seems have huge memory leak , its start from 8mb and grow up to 500mb , i debug that and get this message every time memory grow up : unity <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: No such interface `org.ayatana.bamf.view' on object at path /org/ayatana/bamf/application1535414570 , what is that mean ? | 23:14 |
| DexterityFlux | thanks :) | 23:14 |
| sam113101 | I didn't because I wanted to do it after the installation was over | 23:14 |
| DexterityFlux | so now I click Install Ubuntu alongside them? | 23:15 |
| DexterityFlux | if i want it to install with windows? | 23:15 |
| DexterityFlux | didn't that option before.. weird | 23:15 |
| DexterityFlux | but i assume yes? | 23:15 |
| sam113101 | I do it manually, personaly | 23:16 |
| DexterityFlux | so I should click something else? | 23:16 |
| DexterityFlux | last time I did that I didn't get a boot menu and the boot-repair software wasn't working | 23:16 |
| DexterityFlux | i guess its just based on my personal opinion.. im an epic linux noob that's why im asking so many questions | 23:17 |
| sam113101 | I'd be afraid that it would do some partitioning that I didn't like, that's why I always do it manually | 23:17 |
| sam113101 | I suggest you do it manually too, it's not that hard | 23:17 |
| DexterityFlux | is it easy to change it? | 23:18 |
| sam113101 | what do you mean? | 23:18 |
| DexterityFlux | if it partitions something i don't like.. i click install along side.. i can't go back now so i was wondering if I could change it if i didn't like it.. | 23:19 |
| DexterityFlux | don't understand this stuff like dev and mapper and stuff | 23:19 |
| DexterityFlux | thats why i did it the automatic way | 23:19 |
| sam113101 | oh it would probably show you what it would look like before applying the changes | 23:20 |

| abracadabra | how can i change the location of the .Xauthority file? | 23:20 |
| DexterityFlux | thanks for the help people | 23:20 |
| abracadabra | maybe i should rephrase | 23:21 |
| vite-away | How do I know what ftp server I have installed on my server hehe | 23:21 |
| abracadabra | how do i modify the XAUTHORITY variable to point to a different file so that X uses that instead of $(HOME)/.Xauthority | 23:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | abracadabra: to what purpose | 23:23 |
| curtism | Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop. I have already created the partitions I want to use, but the installer does not see them in its partition setup thing. Help? | 23:24 |
| abracadabra | ntzrmtthihu777 the filesystem is corrupt | 23:24 |
| abracadabra | the .Xauthority file is corrupt and i cannot delete it | 23:24 |
| abracadabra | fsck is not helping | 23:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | abracadabra: sounds like you have a bigger problem on your hands. why don't you work at fixing the fs first, treat the disease rather than the system. | 23:25 |
| abracadabra | just want it up and running tonight until i can get over there tomorrow and replace the drive | 23:25 |
| abracadabra | yes.. the drive will be replaced tomorrow.. not local to the machine right now.. only have ssh access | 23:25 |

| delkin | Hi everyone! Is there any way to avoid grub from blocking during boot? I put the timeout to 0, and I can see that there is no countdown, but still it gets stuck. I still have to press ENTER to choose the default kernel. How can I make sure that this wont happen again? Any idea? | 23:27 |
| abracadabra | ev0lve it's a usb thumb drive | 23:27 |
| ev0lve | abracadabra: does it work on any other system? | 23:27 |
| abracadabra | what? | 23:28 |
| abracadabra | the thumb drive? | 23:28 |
| ev0lve | abracadabra: yes | 23:28 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | abracadabra: no | 23:31 |
| ev0lve | abracadabra: nope :/ | 23:31 |
| abracadabra | k.. so back to trying to set that XAUTHORITY variable so that on startup X looks elsewhere | 23:31 |
| ev0lve | abracadabra: if you cannot mount the device and fsck or dosfsck you may need to seek a new USB device. | 23:32 |
| abracadabra | not really worried about fixing the filesystem at this point | 23:32 |

| sam113101 | curtism: what do you mean? | 23:33 |
| curtism | sam113101: I have created a partition on sda and one on sdb that I want to use as / and /home, but neither of these show up in the installer | 23:33 |

| curtism | sam113101: I'm selecting "Something else" when it asks me where I want to install Ubuntu, but the only thing that it lists after that is the Live USB I'm running it off of | 23:35 |
