| usr13 | Ferkswe: Ok, I think I've got it. The Desktop Background image is pixelated. Ok. I'm starting to catch on now. Sorry. I'm kinda dense sometimes. | 02:04 |
| leptone | alfed, dont "ask to ask" you have a better chance of a response if you just ask your question. try to be concise but thorough | 02:04 |
| ASmath | **something | 02:04 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: I probably could have explained it a little bit better too. | 02:04 |
| alfwed | phenrique, sudo apt-get install svn | 02:04 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: The background image, and the icons at the top. | 02:04 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: Try a different image. (Maybe a very large (high resolution image). | 02:05 |
| jpmh | I have a system, I am on it now, hat has THREE bootable systems on it, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu. They are all configured vastly differently because each is a copy of a running system that is installed in hundreds of installations. If I change /etc/default/grub and run grub-update, nothing changes. What should I be changing? | 02:05 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: Thing is, when logging in the image is fine, but then, right before the menu thing starts it becomes pixelated | 02:05 |
| alfwed | leptone, k thanks | 02:05 |
| ASmath | jpmh: So redundant.. No offense.. | 02:06 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: What Desktop Environment is it? | 02:06 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: Is it Unity? | 02:06 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: gnome 3 | 02:06 |
| alfwed | I've added a ppa to install php5.4 with this command 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5' but when i try to update php, apt tells me it's already up to date. What am I doing wrong? | 02:06 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: Do you have another you can try? Like Unity or Xfce or Lxde ? | 02:07 |
| alfwed | I've installed it a few days ago on another machine and it worked fine... I don't understand... | 02:07 |
| Ferkswe | Well, it's a fresh system. It started with Unity, which I replaced with Gnome. | 02:07 |
| ASmath | I have a big trouble.. After I had installed ubuntu-desktop in my backtrack by a command line, without see it, my backtrack became ubuntu... I am mad!!! How can I come back to KDE and uninstall everything? I already run # remove ubuntu-desktop, Nothing happened.. Can anybody help me? | 02:07 |
| Ferkswe | Unity didn't have these problems | 02:07 |
| Mrokii | Is there a way to change the destination of the "standard" folder-icons in the Nautilus-sidebar (like Videos, Pictures, etc)? So that they point to somewhere else instead of the home folder? | 02:08 |
| leptone | whats the ubuntu equivlent of ctrl+alt+delete | 02:08 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: I really don't know. I'm just grasping at straws here. I'm thinking that it is just a pixelated image though. | 02:08 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: But it's not. Hold on | 02:08 |
| ASmath | usr13: KDE... | 02:08 |
| gb74 | hello | 02:08 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: It's KDE? | 02:09 |
| gb74 | does touch have its own channel? | 02:09 |
| alfwed | How can I be sure my ppa is taken into account by apt-get? | 02:10 |
| jpmh | ASmath: Give me a better way that I can have "exact copies that boot, exactly as they do in the stores I support" I would love to avoid that but can not come up with a method by which I can do a sales and/or support call | 02:10 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: What ever it is, I think I'd either change the Desktop background first. If that doesn't do it, I'd just try another DE | 02:10 |
| Ferkswe | usr13: It's gnome. | 02:10 |
| jpmh | ASmath: actually the Xununtu is a POS system and the Lubuntu is a Kiosk system for coffee shops, the Ubuntu is mine. The sales staff all have the same setup so they can boot and show the customer exactly what he will see | 02:11 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: Try another DE. Unity or Xfce or Lxde or ....? | 02:11 |
| ethana3 | So, I've been trying to get my logitech dual action gamepad working for a while, and I have given up on googling, as all solutions i've found have failed | 02:11 |
| Ferkswe | Isn't unity still gnome, just a plugin/addonthing? (I think i read that somewhere today) | 02:11 |
| ethana3 | if I buy a PS3 or Xbox360 controller, will it Just | 02:12 |
| ethana3 | Work** | 02:12 |
| ASmath | jpmh: Interesting! | 02:12 |
| Ferkswe | brb. | 02:12 |
| usr13 | Ferkswe: I really don't know. I'm just grasping at straws. Maybe someone else on here can give you some advise. | 02:12 |
| jpmh | ASmath: so, do you have a better approach ? | 02:12 |
| ASmath | jpmh: My backtrack became Ubuntu LL.. Anyway. Exist a bootloader that can give you a graphical boot mode it may can be useful.. | 02:13 |
| * saintlulu loves the Ubuntu community people who help each other all the time. Thanks everybody! | 02:14 | |
| jpmh | ASmath: not sure what you mean - please explain. What I would like to be able to do is set the POS salesman so his default is the POS system and the Kiosl salesman so his is the Kiosk and mine of course to be REAL ubuntu | 02:15 |
| Taev | what software would i need, and how would i do it if i wanted to set music files on my webserver to stream | 02:17 |
| Taev | instead of having to be downloaded | 02:17 |
| ASmath | jpmh: Sorry.. I did not understand what you want to do.. Exist three O.S. and do you want to be able to use all of the in the same time? | 02:18 |
| ferkswe | usr13: Changed the picutre now, and relogged, Here's the original | 02:20 |
| jpmh | ASmath: No - I specifically DO NOT WANT all three at once. I want that when I am operating as a POS system that I am running a system that is the same as my POS customers, same OS, same apps, etc. I just want to be able to set the default that will come up other than the first | 02:20 |

| sam113101 | wayyyy cooler | 02:21 |
| sam113101 | it's psychedelic, I like it | 02:21 |
| ASmath | jpmh: Just a second.. | 02:22 |
| ASmath | sam113101: :| | 02:22 |
| jpmh | ASmath: ty - please bare in mind that the issue seems to be that I somehow have a loader other than the grub one that I think I have since the /etc/default/grub does not seem to be what happens | 02:23 |
| sam113101 | ferkswe: it doesn't do that with unity, right? only with gnome? | 02:23 |
| usr13 | ferkswe: Ok, so the image is 1,423px × 1,600px | 02:23 |
| usr13 | sam113101: I think that is correct. He said it looked ok in Unity. Right ferkswe ? | 02:24 |
| sam113101 | because I had the same thing with gnome | 02:24 |
| seanlee | anyone using ubuntu in vagrant? I have some trouble setting it up... | 02:24 |
| ASmath | jpmh: Have a look: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-grub-configfile.html it may can be useful.. | 02:24 |
| usr13 | ferkswe: It is a gnome issue. I would say that you should ask at #gnome | 02:25 |
| usr13 | ferkswe: /join #gnome | 02:25 |
| sam113101 | yeah exactly | 02:25 |
| ASmath | jpmh: It is transmissible.. Do not mind the O.S. | 02:25 |
| usr13 | I don't have a clue.... (I don't use that DE so I'm kind-of, not much help...) | 02:25 |
| ferkswe | usr13: sam113101 Okay, will do that tomorrow. It's waay too late here right now. | 02:26 |
| ferkswe | usr13: Thanks for helping, or atleast trying to! | 02:26 |
| SunStar | you want to edit the drub bootloader default OS? | 02:26 |
| usr13 | ferkswe: I understand. Sorry we couldn't be more help. | 02:26 |
| ferkswe | Have a great night everyone! | 02:27 |
| ASmath | ferkswe: You too.. It is rare... | 02:27 |
| ASmath | jpmh: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html it is a better way to learn about your problem.. | 02:28 |
| ASmath | dr_willis: Can you see my problem? | 02:29 |
| ASmath | dr_willis: I have a big trouble.. After I had installed ubuntu-desktop in my backtrack by a command line, without see it, my backtrack became ubuntu... I am mad!!! How can I come back to KDE and uninstall everything? I already run # remove ubuntu-desktop, Nothing happened.. | 02:29 |
| jpmh | ASmath: I suspect that my issue is that the real grub that is being executed is on the /dev/sda1 but I am actually running on /dev/sda7 which is on an extended /dev/sda2 - really I suspect now that my question becomes, how do I update that one | 02:32 |
| ASmath | bazhang: It is a good way to joinin a webchat without the ip.. I do not know hot to do that.. | 02:32 |
| ASmath | jpmh: Try boot in the sda7 sda2 and do that one by one.. | 02:33 |
| SOwhoisntme | Hello ubuntu. I'm interested in tweaking a dpkg package. Am I correct that the .debian.tar.gz files are as a rule under no form of version control (other the fact that they normally contain a series of quilt patches). | 02:34 |

| cryosphere | my question - http://pastebin.com/vYWXhxqD | 02:35 |
| sam113101 | what's the prefered way to launch applications at boot? | 02:35 |
| sam113101 | I tried "startup applications" but it doesn't seem to work | 02:36 |
| twmb | every time I try to pass "install auto=true priority=critical url=http://my.url.com/seed.file" I get the message "invalid or corrupt kernel image" | 02:36 |
| cryosphere | sam113101: /etc/init.d | 02:36 |
| ASmath | jpmh: If you want to put all of it in just one, have to update with the command "grub-update" or "grub2".. normally is automatically.. | 02:36 |
| sam113101 | just want to run xmodmap | 02:36 |
| jpmh | ASmath: what do you mean - right now I am running off /dev/sda7 | 02:36 |
| sam113101 | so when my session launches | 02:37 |
| jpmh | ASmath: Messages crossed there - I suspect I need to grub-update the one on /dev/sda1 but how do I do that? | 02:37 |
| cryosphere | any takers? | 02:38 |
| ASmath | jpmh: I am not an expert in ubuntu.. I would like help you, meantime, I do not know. I have one question here too.. Nobody can answer. | 02:40 |
| jpmh | ASmath: ty for the try anyway | 02:41 |
| _cronus_ | ASmath, have you tried apt-get autoremove after you removed ubuntu-desktop? | 02:42 |
| alexandros_c | how to remove linux 3.5.0-26 from ubuntu that was installed but not configured? | 02:42 |
| ASmath | The way is listen to Tchaikovsky and try.. | 02:42 |
| ASmath | _cronus_: Yes... | 02:43 |
| ihre | After every reboot I recieve the following error when I try to access it with ssh: "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host". How can I fix this ? | 02:44 |
| tomasm- | why is it that ffmpeg has moved to the avconv fork, and yet speaks of deprecation? I mean why not just have two tools? avconv is broken. is there a way to get the REAL ffmpeg for ubuntu 12.10? | 02:44 |
| ASmath | _cronus_: continue in gnome environment and a lot of useless programs.. | 02:44 |
| ASmath | actually I liked the ubuntu LL environment.. I like KDE anyway. | 02:46 |
| _cronus_ | ASmath, maybe grep ' install ' /var/log/dpkg.log will give you a hint on what to remove next | 02:46 |
| BlackWeb | I'm running into a problem with a 3TB hard Drive wondering if anyone could help me out, I installed a Brand New Drive, Which First i did "parted -a optimal (Device)"; mklabel gpt; mkpart; start0% End100%; quit; Then mkfs.ext (Device/partition) Which Doing it this way I'm running into Input/Output Error, So I tried creating the filesystem through parted and received a similar error stating Unable to Read SuperBlock or similar to tha | 02:46 |
| BlackWeb | t | 02:46 |
| BlackWeb | Any Ideas? | 02:47 |
| ASmath | _cronus_: Grep? | 02:47 |
| Taev | you may want to see if the kernel or the Flavor can support a 3TB drive BlackDex | 02:48 |
| _cronus_ | ASmath, just an idea... | 02:48 |
| Taev | er BlackWeb | 02:48 |
| Taev | back in the day i bought a brand new 40gb HD | 02:48 |
| Taev | and linux's kernel didnt support it yett | 02:48 |
| Taev | didnt matter how i partitioned it | 02:48 |
| CrazyEyedMutt | hey anyone know the help room for hexchat? | 02:48 |
| CrazyEyedMutt | i have a registered name for xchat, but it didnt seem to register when i openned hexchat | 02:49 |
| ASmath | _cronus_: I will try and reboot.. I come back later.. Thank you. | 02:49 |
| BlackWeb | Alright ya its weird, I build 2 new systems same specs, 1 is running 12.04 Server, & other 12.04 Standard, & 3TB Hard Drive worked on server but cant get it to work on standard | 02:49 |
| CrazyEyedMutt | does windows have terminal support in powershell like linux? and a community that supports freely like ubuntu? i mean willl they help windows users like ubuntu helps? | 02:51 |
| Nach0z | urm | 02:51 |
| Nach0z | CrazyEyedMutt: terminal ain't really powershell, they're kinda different animals | 02:52 |
| CrazyEyedMutt | i owuld have thought ubuntu would help more - hm - this is a strange night - ubuntu is almost always very responsive. maybe next time | 02:52 |
| Nach0z | that being said, if you fire up cygwin or msys or some such, I'm sure you could find people willing to help in the linux channels. apart from that, ask in the windows channel | 02:52 |
| Nach0z | ... or no | 02:52 |
| Nach0z | nvm :| | 02:52 |
| Nanaharu | On my old computer I had made it so that I could dual boot ubuntu and ubuntu. Now that I was able to purchase a second computer for ubuntu, I no longer need the ubuntu partition on my other computer. Does anyone know how to get rid of ubuntu? I'd like to just start over kind of? | 02:53 |
| Nanaharu | ***Dual boot windows and ubuntu... | 02:53 |
| ciukko | hi | 02:54 |
| Jason | how can I get those floodbots that ubuntu's channel uses? | 02:54 |
| Nach0z | um | 02:54 |
| Nach0z | Nanaharu: which windows | 02:54 |
| Nanaharu | windows 7 | 02:54 |
| Nach0z | alright then, first off | 02:55 |
| Nach0z | boot win7, go to disk manager | 02:55 |
| Nanaharu | okay~ | 02:55 |
| ciukko | me pari un disk manager | 02:55 |
| Nach0z | right-click the little 100MB partition (windows's SYSTEM partition, it's win7's boot manager) | 02:55 |
| Nach0z | set it to active | 02:55 |
| jrib | LjL: you have a customer (see Jason) | 02:55 |
| Nanaharu | okay~ | 02:55 |
| Nach0z | reboot, see if GRUB still appears. if not, you're good for step two. I'd start there though | 02:55 |
| Jason | jrib: thought it may be ljl | 02:55 |
| ciukko | acr | 02:56 |
| Jason | jrib: he gave em to me one time before: i lost it :P | 02:56 |
| Nanaharu | whats step 2? | 02:56 |
| jrib | Jason: I don't know if he's released the source though, but he'd be the first person to talk to | 02:56 |
| Jason | jrib: yeah, i've had it before | 02:56 |
| Jason | jrib: just lost the code. i'm sure there have been updates | 02:56 |
| ciukko | pizza time | 02:56 |
| jrib | Jason: probably sleeping at this time (he's in italy) | 02:56 |
| Nach0z | Nanaharu: step two is deleting the ubuntu partition and expanding the windows one, but if you do that before you get step one working, you'll have a brick essentially | 02:56 |
| Nanaharu | Oh okay~ so if the grub shows up then that means I'll run into the brick? | 02:57 |
| Nach0z | if grub shows up, then you gotta keep trying | 02:57 |
| tomasm- | can anyone explain why avconv claims to function as 'ffmpeg', and says ffmpeg is obsolete, when it seems to be a political issue rather than practical issue? ie refusing to package the ffmpeg core and having this seeming (broken) fork replace it | 02:57 |
| Nach0z | basically either the win7 boot screen will appear, or grub will | 02:57 |
| Nach0z | once you get it so that grub doesn't appear you can just get rid of the ubuntu partition | 02:58 |
| twmb | Does anybody here use preseed files ever? | 02:58 |
| Nanaharu | Oh okay~ so by making the windows partition active the way that you said, should allow that? | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: In a Wubi install a preseed config is required for the installation to work. | 02:58 |
| Nach0z | emphasis on should. | 02:59 |
| Nanaharu | Okay~ if it doesn't can I use a program like gparted to do the same thing? | 02:59 |
| Nach0z | Nanaharu: if I were you, I'd go ahead and burn either a gparted liveCD, or a supergrub2disk, before doing any of that, if you're worried about messing things up | 02:59 |
| Nach0z | gparted might do the same thing too, haven't tried from there recently | 02:59 |
| twmb | SonikkuAmerica: I'm trying to use a custom seed file hosted on a website, but every time I try to use my command I get the response "invalid kernel image" or something | 03:00 |
| Nanaharu | I've already backed up all my files, and I'm not incredibly worried if everything blows up, it would just be nice if things go smoothely ^.^ | 03:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: What kernel are you trying to write for? | 03:00 |
| twmb | ubuntu 12.10 | 03:00 |
| twmb | http://mobilemd.cs.uwec.edu/ncur/mobile.seed | 03:00 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !kernel | twmb | 03:01 |
| ubottu | twmb: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 03:01 |
| stan879nz | hello im having trouble login i have no gui i can login using ctrl +f2 and rdpx has stopped workin | 03:01 |
| Nach0z | Nanaharu: then yeah, just fire up disk manager and set the little partition to active | 03:01 |
| twmb | 386 | 03:01 |
| twmb | ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386 | 03:01 |
| Nanaharu | nach0z : awesome~! Thanks~! | 03:01 |

| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: Do uname -r in a terminal | 03:02 |
| stan879nz | how do i get back my gui? | 03:02 |
| lb27 | stan879nz: how did you lose it? | 03:02 |
| stan879nz | not sure? | 03:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Did you lose it after a reboot? | 03:03 |
| stan879nz | yes | 03:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Do you recall needing to reboot for a special reason? | 03:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (such as an update) | 03:04 |
| ciukko | bukkake | 03:04 |
| stan879nz | yes i think so | 03:04 |
| ciukko | goatse | 03:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: What's the result of uname -r ? | 03:04 |
| ciukko | tupac | 03:04 |
| twmb | from using the try without installing, | 03:04 |
| ciukko | 2pac | 03:04 |
| twmb | 3.5.0-17-generic | 03:04 |
| stan879nz | that would have been the only reason | 03:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Were you using a proprietary graphics card driver? | 03:05 |
| twmb | SonikkuAmerica: 3.5.0-17-generic (try without installing, don't know if that makes a difference) | 03:05 |
| stan879nz | umm im not to sure i have a nvidia 610 gt | 03:06 |
| io7g | dD0T | 03:06 |
| stan879nz | i tryed to intall drivers | 03:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: It most certainly does... the latest kernel for 12.10 is 3.5.0-23-generic (I think, someone help me out here) | 03:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Well there you go... so it appears whatever drivers you used didn't work. | 03:07 |
| stan879nz | is there a way to remove? | 03:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: How did you install the drivers? | 03:07 |
| twmb | SonikkuAmerica: Does it make a difference if it's not fully installed? This is the latest ISO from the ubuntu.com/download website, I used UNetBootIn to put it on a flash drive, and I'm using the current "try without installing" option | 03:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: I probably couldn't tell you until you actually installed the thing somewhere | 03:08 |
| stan879nz | nvidia site | 03:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Shell script? | 03:08 |

| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Is that *found *out? | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the easiest way to do this is to restore the xorg.conf.backup file the shell script made when it installed the driver | 03:13 |
| tomasm- | hey who do I complain to about the issue with packages or the lack thereof? | 03:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: so run ls /etc/X11/ and pastebin the result | 03:14 |
| stan879nz | ok so i can get the gui from rdpx but if i use a screen thats plugin to the pc i have no gui | 03:15 |
| dannyjoris | I've been trying to set up Ubuntu server on my Mac 10.6.8 using virtualbox, but both th 32 and 64 bit versions failed. linux-generic-lts-quantal errors mostly. I'd love to learn more about setting up Ubuntu servers, but I can't even get it running in virtualbox | 03:15 |
| stan879nz | ok ill try and do that paste bin | 03:15 |
| dannyjoris | any suggestions? | 03:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tomasm-: What do you mean, the "issue with packages"? | 03:16 |
| stan879nz | ls /etc/X11/ no such file or dir | 03:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Are you sure this is Ubuntu Desktop and not Ubuntu Server? | 03:17 |
| tomasm- | SonikkuAmerica, I've been trying to use ffmpeg to convert flac to mp3, but due to some political drama, debian/ubuntu is using 'avconv' which is NOT ffmpeg, but names it that, and refuses to package the actual 'ffmpeg' tool. they're are inconsistent and avconv is broken in my case. | 03:17 |
| tomasm- | someone needs to put the core ffmpeg back into the repos | 03:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tomasm-: Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? | 03:18 |
| stan879nz | mmm how can i tell the difference between server and destop? | 03:19 |
| lb27 | tomasm-: barring everything else, you could still compile ffmpeg for as long as you have a copy | 03:19 |
| tomasm- | lb27, I can survive, I just want to make it clear that packaging avconv as ffmpeg is a mistake and I'm not pleased | 03:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Run this: lsb_release -a | 03:20 |
| escott | stan879nz, you can have a system that is server+desktop so "tell the difference" isn't a very well defined question | 03:20 |
| lb27 | tomasm-: I've seen a prompt about them phasing out ffmpeg for a while, but it appeared to be similar, where are you running into differences? asking because i sometimes use that as well | 03:20 |
| stan879nz | Description ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS | 03:21 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: Oops, I goofed. Here's the command: cat /etc/motd | 03:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: If there's process information under the "Welcome to Ubuntu!" message it's server. | 03:22 |
| tomasm- | lb27, it's only being 'phased out' for political reasons. the ffmpeg package is actively developed and in fact better than avconv.... there was a whole political drama a few years back and debian/ubuntu have sided with avconv, which I find not wise since avconv is broken. specifically in my case, converting flac to mp3, the ID3 track length is way off, ie a 2 minute song says 10 minutes or whatever. just broken and unacceptable for my use (co | 03:22 |
| tomasm- | mmercial web app). | 03:22 |
| escott | SonikkuAmerica, unless someone changes motd in which case it doesn't tell stan879nz anything | 03:23 |
| escott | stan879nz, why does it matter if something is server or desktop, considering they could just install ubuntu-desktop on a server or apache on a desktop | 03:23 |
| === SirCmpwn_ is now known as SirCmpwn | ||
| escott | stan879nz, if you knew why it mattered that would provide a direct answer to your real question which is how to make whatever you are sitting at act the way you want | 03:24 |
| escott | !xy | stan879nz | 03:24 |
| ubottu | stan879nz: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 03:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I actually doubt stan879nz is running a server-only, GUI-less infrastructure, given that his GUI died after an update. | 03:24 |
| === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | I probably made the problem into a giant snowball.... :\ | 03:25 |
| stan879nz | ok | 03:26 |
| twmb | SonikkuAmerica: Yeah this preseed stuff definitely isn't working as it used to for me :/ | 03:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | twmb: To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly an expert on preseed files. :\ | 03:27 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stan879nz: We might start with sudo startx | 03:29 |
| stan879nz | ok from what i can see is that there is a problem with my gfx card not showing the gui at all. i have install a driver that has not worked and i cant find it, or remember what it is, i am using rdpx to mask the problem and get a gui is there a way to restore my gfx card driver to default? | 03:30 |
| escott | SonikkuAmerica, sudo startx is generally a very bad idea (TM) | 03:32 |
| === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks | ||
| escott | stan879nz, what is rdpx, i'm not familiar with it. does it provide rdp? does it include an x server? | 03:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | escott: Is there a better command? There is sudo service $SERVICE start | 03:33 |
| stan879nz | yes it is a rdp i thing it does provide a xserver | 03:34 |
| escott | SonikkuAmerica, the problem with sudo startx is that it starts an interactive graphical shell as root (as opposed to a display manager), and that it does so within the users current home directory and environment | 03:34 |
| stan879nz | think* | 03:34 |
| escott | stan879nz, so if it provides its own x server it more than likely does so purely in software and would not utilize any graphics cards on your system | 03:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | escott: Oh... so it's better to invoke the DM as a service...? | 03:35 |
| escott | SonikkuAmerica, yes. ie sudo service lightdm [or gdm] [re]start | 03:35 |
| * SonikkuAmerica nods to escott | 03:35 | |
| stan879nz | yes thats what i thing x server is bypassing the gfx card to give me a gui | 03:36 |
| stan879nz | on the remote machine | 03:36 |
| escott | stan879nz, (a) i dont know why you would do that as you could just install an x server on your client and tunnel X over the network (b) im confused as to why you have a graphics card in what is evidently a headless machine | 03:36 |
| escott | stan879nz, one thing that confuses many people about X is that the role of client and server are flipped. The client is the application running on the remote machine, it contacts the server which serves pixels on a display, but the server runs on the local machine | 03:38 |
| stan879nz | i put the gfx card i for "just in case but yes it is a headless machine | 03:38 |
| === fenris is now known as Guest33829 | ||
| escott | stan879nz, so from a unix desktop with a working X gui you can "ssh -X user@remote" and then kick off gui programs by name "xclock" etc and they appear locally | 03:39 |
| escott | note that it is -X not -x | 03:39 |
| ELS | sup nerds | 03:40 |
| escott | stan879nz, if you want a remote session that persists beyond your ssh connection, and that has a full desktop, then you might want to look at something like VNC or FreeNX, both of which do require that an X server be running on the remote headless machine (but it can all be run in a framebuffer if you would like) | 03:40 |
| === ELS is now known as ToiletOfWisdom | ||
| escott | stan879nz, my recommendation would be to remove the graphics card from your headless server (because its headless) and your difficulties should disappear | 03:42 |
| stan879nz | will do | 03:42 |
| escott | stan879nz, its not as if you expect to be able run a game like QuakeIII on your headless server and stream full rendered screens back across your network to a dumb client | 03:43 |
| escott | stan879nz, if you do decide you want the VNC/FreeNX experience then you will want to use a lightweight desktop such as unity-2d or lubuntu. ie something that does not use 3d effects on a desktop | 03:44 |
| escott | stan879nz, the driver you probably installed was probably nvidia-current or the like | 03:44 |
| escott | stan879nz, so you might want to remove that along with your card | 03:45 |
| tucemiux | what is all this talk that ubuntu is going to be closed source? o.O | 03:45 |
| escott | tucemiux, signs that you are losing your mind and hearing voices? | 03:46 |
| tucemiux | escott, have you heard of Mir ? | 03:47 |
| escott | yes | 03:47 |
| tucemiux | I've been waiting for Wayland for a long whiles now and was been waiting on a video card that supports wayland, if ubuntu goes Mir then I'll probably stop using ubuntu | 03:48 |
| escott | as will i, but that doesnt make it closed source | 03:48 |
| tucemiux | you mean 13.04 will be developed like always? | 03:50 |
| fermuch | hello | 03:51 |
| tucemiux | !hello | fermuch | 03:52 |
| tucemiux | !hi | 03:52 |
| fermuch | is anyone here using HabitRPG? | 03:52 |
| fermuch | i'm seeking for a party :) | 03:52 |
| tucemiux | what's HabitRPG ? | 03:52 |
| fermuch | https://habitrpg.com/ | 03:53 |
| escott | tucemiux, you can have a legitimate complaint about the direction ubuntu is headed, but you shouldn't throw FUD like "closed source" around. Mir is GPL licensed as is the majority of the software canonical makes. in any case you should take further conversation about that to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:53 |
| fermuch | mcored: what's Mir? | 03:53 |
| tucemiux | fermuch, apparently its offtopic and we don't want to spam the channel with offtopic topics | 03:54 |
| Nach0z | thought it was a space program at some point | 03:54 |
| fermuch | tucemiux: oh, k | 03:54 |
| fermuch | then I'll join -offtopic | 03:54 |
| veryhappy | hi guys, is there a way to remove *EVERYTHING* except the needed base packages on ubuntu? like back to the deepest roots? | 03:55 |
| escott | veryhappy, probably be easier to just reinstall. also you need to define the base. do you mean ubuntu-minimal? | 03:55 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: do you mean ubuntu with graphical interface? | 03:56 |
| escott | veryhappy, alternately you could ask dpkg for a list of all packages and filter out anything that is not in base and then remove all those | 03:56 |
| fermuch | it's way cleaner to reinstall | 03:56 |
| veryhappy | escott: no it is not easier, it would take more time... i have a version of gnome 12.04 installed on my notebook and i upgraded from a cd with 11.10 so i first had to upgrade from version 11.10 to 12.04 then install kde and the stuff, but i actually wanna get back to the roots, so yea the minimal stuff that i can get everything removed until i can install kubuntu-minimal or something and then set everything up, i wanna use on this | 03:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | i seem to be running into some sort of memory problem, when i run oberons AOS, when it hits about 150mb it crashes | 03:58 |
| veryhappy | arch linux except that i have to set every little piece of arch linux that i don't wanna do on here | 03:58 |
| escott | veryhappy, what you want to do sounds strange but filter out "apt-cache show ubuntu-minimal" from your removal list | 04:03 |
| veryhappy | escott: it's not strange, arch linux's concept is, only install what you need, so i don't need gnome at all, but i installed it before to try it out... then i didn't want to burn another cd with kubuntu, what the heck sounds strange about that? | 04:03 |
| veryhappy | escott: ok, so how do i install ubuntu-minimal now and remove the other stuff? | 04:05 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, you need the alternative installation cd | 04:06 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: what alternative installation cd? | 04:07 |
| ItsMeLenny | the ubuntu alt cd | 04:07 |
| xangua | veryhappy: so you want to uninstall gnome and keep kde¿ | 04:07 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: ok for you again, i don't wanna burn a new cd right now and i can't neither | 04:08 |
| escott | veryhappy, dpkg -l will show what is installed, the apt-cache command will show what to keep | 04:08 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, install it onto a usb stick | 04:08 |
| veryhappy | escott: ok, well is kubuntu- and kde- the same stuff or a little bit different? | 04:08 |
| escott | veryhappy, kubuntu is ubuntu-minimal + kubuntu-desktop package which includes all the kde stuff | 04:09 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: even with a live cd install i wouldn't get the minimalistic install that i wanna have | 04:09 |
| janderson91z | hey, i need some help. when i fullscreen youtube videos the video just looks stretched instead of maximized. how can i fix that? | 04:09 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, i didnt say livecd | 04:09 |
| ItsMeLenny | i said alternate cd | 04:09 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: ok sorry about that, well i just want a minimalistic ubuntu system with a minimalistic kde-desktop system (i believe it's kde-workspace?) | 04:10 |
| veryhappy | and on top of that i set everything else up | 04:10 |
| bcbc2 | veryhappy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:10 |
| escott | veryhappy, then you will have to define what you mean by "minimalistic kde-desktop" because there is no such package in ubuntu as far as i am aware | 04:11 |
| eN_Joy | repost: my ubuntu box is almost solely as a web server, that being said, port 80 is open, however my ufw.log shows from time to time, access to port 80 is blocked, how so? | 04:11 |
| veryhappy | escott: kde-workspace i think | 04:11 |
| ItsMeLenny | i think what you're wanting to do is harder than you think, particularly if you're just going to install kde on top of it | 04:11 |
| ItsMeLenny | why dont you just install openbox instead | 04:11 |
| escott | !find kde-workspace | 04:11 |
| ubottu | Found: kde-workspace, kde-workspace-bin, kde-workspace-data, kde-workspace-data-extras, kde-workspace-dbg | 04:11 |
| eN_Joy | e.g., http://paste.ubuntu.com/5589402/ | 04:11 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: there's kdebase | 04:11 |
| escott | !info kde-workspace | 04:12 |
| ubottu | kde-workspace (source: kde-workspace): KDE Plasma Workspace components. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.9.5-0ubuntu0.1 (quantal), package size 15 kB, installed size 150 kB | 04:12 |
| veryhappy | yea | 04:12 |
| escott | that is hardly lightweight and minimalistic | 04:12 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, you are veryconfused | 04:12 |
| veryhappy | good that's what i wanted | 04:12 |
| veryhappy | :D veryconfused | 04:12 |
| veryhappy | nope i know exactly what i'm doing | 04:13 |
| escott | you may be confused but at least you are a happy confused person | 04:13 |
| escott | i suppose that is all one can ask for in life | 04:13 |
| veryhappy | escott: thanks | 04:13 |
| veryhappy | yea | 04:13 |
| veryhappy | guess so | 04:13 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: be aware. You can destroy your system if you don't do things right | 04:13 |
| ItsMeLenny | anyway, back to me :P | 04:13 |
| veryhappy | fermuch: all that can happen is i have to reinstall that | 04:13 |
| veryhappy | but i think i'm gonna use ItsMeLenny's tip and install ubuntu's minimal cd on a usb stick | 04:14 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: if you uninstall Xorg and all its dependencies you will have a pretty terminal | 04:14 |
| veryhappy | fermuch: i don't need a terminal i just wanted at the beginning a minimal system that i can set later up with all the stuff i only want | 04:14 |
| veryhappy | fermuch: got my idea? | 04:14 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: oh, so you want a more custom ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| veryhappy | fermuch: right man | 04:15 |
| veryhappy | fermuch: you finally got it | 04:15 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, its not ubuntu minimal, its ubuntu alternate, and theres an option to install minimal | 04:16 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: then you should try http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ | 04:16 |
| OerHeks | more custom will be the answer of <bcbc2> veryhappy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:16 |
| fermuch | I used to have that installed on my netbook | 04:16 |
| veryhappy | what's the difference on there? | 04:16 |
| ItsMeLenny | i have !# on my notebook | 04:16 |
| OerHeks | alternate cd is discontinued, afaik | 04:17 |
| fermuch | OerHeks: ++ | 04:17 |
| fermuch | ItsMeLenny: !# is debian based, right? | 04:17 |
| veryhappy | OerHeks got me right, i can use your link that's also what i wanted to do so i can decide what i want to do, besides i have more than just one notebook i also have 2 pc's that should be enough | 04:17 |
| veryhappy | what's !#? | 04:18 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: http://crunchbang.org/ | 04:18 |
| ItsMeLenny | fermuch, yeah | 04:18 |
| veryhappy | ah got it | 04:18 |
| OerHeks | veryhappy, you might even want to take a server iso and build on top of that. | 04:18 |
| ItsMeLenny | unfortunately, because its hard to get it to have the same packages as my desktop, i like them to match | 04:19 |
| veryhappy | what's great about crunchbang? | 04:19 |
| ItsMeLenny | its just lightweight | 04:19 |
| fermuch | ItsMeLenny: I only use debian on my server, because its the packages are too old. Are you using unstable or something? | 04:19 |
| luck | anyone know how to get eBooks via irc? | 04:19 |
| veryhappy | OerHeks: that's a nice idea but that system is gonna be used as a programming system | 04:19 |
| fermuch | luck: what do you mean by getting ebooks via IRC? o.O | 04:19 |
| ItsMeLenny | fermuch, it doesnt have the latest pygame, thats basically my only complaint | 04:19 |
| veryhappy | OerHeks: should i already go with version 12.10? | 04:19 |
| ItsMeLenny | and no one would explain how i could update it | 04:19 |
| fermuch | ItsMeLenny: I know that feel | 04:19 |
| veryhappy | of ubuntu? | 04:19 |
| luck | fermuch: like for download... | 04:20 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, go with whichever version that makes you happy, im on 12.04 coz its an LTS release | 04:20 |
| fermuch | luck: but you know IRC is just for talking, right? | 04:20 |
| veryhappy | ah ok | 04:20 |
| veryhappy | and what's great about crunchbang? | 04:20 |
| holstein | luck: someone in an appropriate channel could link some for you or share | 04:20 |
| OerHeks | sure, 12.10 runs fine. i am on Kubuntu btw | 04:20 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, !# is lightweight | 04:20 |
| luck | fermuch: I do know that | 04:20 |
| luck | holstein: that is what i want | 04:21 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: the great point about crunchbang is its lightweight | 04:21 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: arch linux is so | 04:21 |
| fermuch | luck: and how do you want to get ebooks? With a bot? | 04:21 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, !# is based on debian and i prefer debian based distros | 04:21 |
| holstein | !ot | luck try here, or a channel where folks talk about ebooks.. | 04:21 |
| ubottu | luck try here, or a channel where folks talk about ebooks..: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:21 |
| luck | fermuch: I don't know | 04:21 |
| OerHeks | luck , http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ is a good start | 04:21 |
| veryhappy | so crunchbang is the arch linux that's debian based? | 04:21 |
| ItsMeLenny | no | 04:21 |
| ItsMeLenny | its got nothing to do with arch | 04:22 |
| fermuch | archlinux is a different distro | 04:22 |
| ItsMeLenny | its a lightweight distro based on debian | 04:22 |
| luck | OerHeks: thanks buddy | 04:22 |
| veryhappy | nope ItsMeLenny you got me wrong | 04:22 |
| xangua | veryhappy: ItsMeLenny and is not supported here | 04:22 |
| ItsMeLenny | xangua, pardon? | 04:22 |
| veryhappy | xangua: did you write something different than just this stupid comment? then shut it | 04:23 |
| holstein | ItsMeLenny: crunchbang is OT here.. they have a channel though.. | 04:23 |
| ItsMeLenny | i know, i wasnt talking about it | 04:23 |
| luck | anyone ? who has ubuntu-sever experience?? | 04:23 |
| ItsMeLenny | holstein, i'm here asking why AOS oberon crashes when it hits 150mb, and asking how i can dedicate more ram to it | 04:24 |
| fermuch | whats wrong with a little of off-topic chat when no one is asking questions, xangua ? | 04:24 |
| holstein | luck: the users in #ubuntu-server would.. do you have a question about ubuntu server? | 04:24 |
| veryhappy | i just mean arch linux's concept is to let you install what you want to install and installs just a minimal system that you have to setup for yourself, and i mean is crunchbang like that except that it's debian based? | 04:24 |
| holstein | ItsMeLenny: hopefully one of the volunteers can help you with that | 04:24 |
| veryhappy | ItsMeLenny: i just mean arch linux's concept is to let you install what you want to install and installs just a minimal system that you have to setup for yourself, and i mean is crunchbang like that except that it's debian based? | 04:24 |
| holstein | veryhappy: try and help us maintain the /topic | 04:25 |
| lxle | up for beta testing if anyone is interested, www.lxle.net | 04:25 |
| fermuch | veryhappy: archlinux is way more than that. ArchLinux introduces a different package manager, which is IMO their war-horse | 04:25 |
| ItsMeLenny | veryhappy, no, its just designed to be lightweight, each distro has its own philosophy, each distro usually provides a minimal version as well | 04:25 |
| avi44t | Hey folks can i run android sdk on ubuntu! | 04:25 |

| veryhappy | holstein: that was just a little question... nothing more, but thanks that i might not ask one silly question about something else | 04:26 |
| ItsMeLenny | is there a terminal command which allows me to dedicate a selected amount of ram to a program? | 04:26 |

| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Ubuntu 12.04, AMD Radeon HD 4850. My problem is a bit more than simply updating them | 04:40 |
| X-warrior | fermuch, the strange thing is, I was running ubuntu 11.04 and then formated to ubuntu 12.10, and on both the same problem is happening. let me create a bootable pendrive | 04:40 |
| fermuch | X-warrior: then your disk maybe is broken | 04:40 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, I'll bite, what issue are you having exactly? | 04:40 |
| X-warrior | is it possible to be the ntfs one? | 04:41 |
| fermuch | X-warrior: what do you mean by that? | 04:41 |
| X-warrior | I have 2 disks on it, one for data (ntfs 2tb) and one for os... | 04:41 |
| X-warrior | so I'm just trying to think which one is broken | 04:42 |

I've heard that updating to the 13.1 drivers fix these issues. I downloaded it, removed my current drivers, then tried to generate a distribution-specific package. But when it finishes generating, after I click finish, it | 04:43 |
| SilvereX | says there was an error and removes it. I can install it using the general installer, but then when I restart my system, the driver is gone and it boots to the command line | 04:43 |

| holstein | efuse: you can type "hol" and use tab to autocomplete my nick (and others).. | 04:46 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, Ok before I get into my advice I wanted to say that if my advice isn't on par that # radeon and # radeonhd are the two official ATI driver support channels. They may have better advice than me, but let me give it a go | 04:46 |
| efuse | holstein: I am aware | 04:46 |
| holstein | efuse: i would purge that ppa then | 04:47 |
| efuse | good idea, but that doesn't get me a proper unity launcher. | 04:47 |
| fermuch | efuse: «As of 12.04 you can not move the launcher, and there’s no official support for that.This is by design, and so far, there are no Canonical plans to change that.» | 04:47 |
| efuse | i don't care about cannoical's bad design. i just want a fix. | 04:47 |
| fermuch | efuse: then write it | 04:47 |
| holstein | efuse: http://www.linuxine.com/story/ubuntu-1210-move-dock-bottom suggests using another launcher.. i do too | 04:48 |
| efuse | not interested in investing that kind of time. has someone else done the work for me? | 04:48 |
| efuse | i don't want another launcher. i was very specific in my requets. | 04:48 |
| efuse | *request. | 04:48 |
| holstein | efuse: your request has an answer.. its not moveable in 12.10 | 04:48 |
| efuse | why the fuck not? | 04:48 |
| fermuch | efuse: we are not here to fix a launcher for you | 04:48 |
| OerHeks | unity is hardcoded so good luck finding a solution | 04:48 |
| fermuch | efuse: if you dont want to invest your time fixing that, hire a developer for you | 04:48 |
| efuse | i don't get that, what is so bad about choice? i thought that was the whole idea behind linux? | 04:48 |
| holstein | efuse: watch the language please.. the volunteers here do not maintain unity | 04:49 |
| efuse | why can't I choose to have the launcher wherever I want? | 04:49 |
| fermuch | efuse: then choice another launcher | 04:49 |
| efuse | choice is a toggle to move the launcher. | 04:49 |
| holstein | efuse: we are talking about unity. not linux.. you can choose another launcher or DE.. or look at the code | 04:49 |
| efuse | choice is a toggle to move the launcher. | 04:49 |
| efuse | requesting one now. | 04:49 |
| efuse | this is a blocking bug. | 04:49 |
| holstein | !wishlise | 04:49 |
| holstein | !wishlist | 04:49 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, I can see you're trying to keep it clean by creating a .deb file which is good if it was a perfect system. I would say that with the drivers completely removed and back to the stock ATI driver that you use the driver directly from the website compiled against your kernel | 04:49 |
| OerHeks | or brainstorm | 04:49 |
| holstein | efuse: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu/Wishlist | 04:50 |
| fermuch | that is not a blocking bug. Change to another launcher if you don't like the way Unity works | 04:50 |
| efuse | It is a blocker. I like the way Unity works, quite a bit. I just don't want it on the side of my screen. | 04:50 |
| holstein | efuse: its not a bug at all.. its just not part of the design.. | 04:50 |
| fermuch | that's not even a bug. That's a design problem | 04:50 |
| efuse | it's a blocker. | 04:50 |
| h00k | efuse: consider something like Docky, the launcher just simply doesn't do that | 04:51 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, it's a .run file so you'll have to "sh" it from the command line but I can link you to a guide if you want to try it | 04:51 |
| holstein | efuse: this is the support channel.. feel free and file a bug or wishlist | 04:51 |
| efuse | does docky give me the super-cool unity search thingy? | 04:51 |
| fermuch | no | 04:51 |
| efuse | well, that won't work. | 04:51 |
| h00k | efuse: there may be a plugin or something, I don't know. | 04:51 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Yeah, that'd be great | 04:51 |
| efuse | i want that search thing and the launcher at the bottom. I don't understand how this is unreasonable. | 04:52 |
| efuse | why does cannocial want to force a left sided launcher down my throat? | 04:52 |
| sean__ | does any one know how to go about a netboot on a ppc G4 or what version of ubutnu/worhs best with this system?Linux | 04:52 |
| OerHeks | efuse lolz canonical does not. | 04:52 |

| holstein | efuse: i dont think any of the volunteers are interested in providing you a fix.. nor is anything broken.. its just a preference, that you are welcome to have, but not going to resolve here | 04:56 |
| efuse | it's oppression | 04:56 |
| X-warrior` | the system is brand new, just some config on it... nothing on os disk that I can't lost | 04:56 |

| dr_willis | leandro: you dont need emerald for that/. | 05:56 |
| dr_willis | leandro: and thats one of the most annoying 'eyecandy' effects of compiz. ;) | 05:57 |
| |nv|s|b|e | its also prolly in compiz settings, from experience make sure (move windows and resize windows is enabled and also window decorations is checked | 05:57 |

| ZeloZelos | leandro, are you having a issue with displaying windows n such? | 05:59 |
| michael87 | so I'm back from windows 7. I want to make an aeroglass theme with ubuntu. I know most of the tricks and have something simulaur to aeroglass with ubuntu 12.04 and have learned how to get rid of most of the anoyying orangeness of ubuntu. Now one last thing. What do I have to do to change the window themes color? I tried hard to find a custom theme for ubuntu but all they do is change the buttons really. And they are all either grey or brow | 05:59 |
| michael87 | n. I want more options with ubuntu. please help | 05:59 |
| dr_willis | leandro: you can enable the wobbly windows with the normal Unity desktop and the 'ccsm' tool | 05:59 |
| manman | its long and i cant copy and past but it has >>retval=1 >>stderr+ >>stdout=resize2fs1.40.6 | 05:59 |

| ghost_ | hook i dont no | 06:00 |
| manman | who can help me | 06:00 |
| leandro | the display looks alright the thing is when i go right to the top right of the screen with my mouse | 06:00 |
| DM11 | what error manman | 06:00 |
| leandro | and i click | 06:00 |
| leandro | windows should close | 06:01 |
| leandro | but, since they aren't fully maximized due to an error | 06:01 |
| dr_willis | manman: use a camera and take a picture of the screen/error and paste it to some site. | 06:01 |
| leandro | they don't | 06:01 |
| manman | i cant really type it out | 06:01 |

| h00k | !verify | manman you can verify your install media to make sure it's not corrupt | 06:02 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Okay, so I went and got some food then tried that tutorial, but the part that stumps me is the part that always has. I run the command it tells me to which opens the driver installer window. I choose to generate a distribution-specific package, it generates, tells me there was an error and then removes itself. | 06:02 |
| ubottu | manman you can verify your install media to make sure it's not corrupt: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:02 |

| dr_willis | blazcab: byvideo in full screen.. you mean a Flash video from a web site? | 06:05 |
| ZeloZelos | leandro, have you tried running a terminal and sudo compiz --replace? sometimes that helps fix things, sometimes it can make em worse, if it does just close the terminal | 06:06 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: It says "There were errors duringi nstallation. Details can be found in /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log The fglrx-install.log file shows: http://pastebin.com/x5bMWyzR | 06:06 |
| manman | can some one help me with my error? | 06:06 |
| leandro | yes, i have tried that, also i have installed emerald and replaced the command in 'window decorations' | 06:06 |
| blazcab | dr_willis: in totem or video player | 06:06 |
| leandro | (in compiz) | 06:06 |
| DM11 | looks like you are tryimg to setup a partition for installation | 06:07 |
| leandro | do u understand what my problem is right?, maybe i haven't explained myself correctly.. | 06:07 |
| DM11 | windows is utilizing the media and blocking you | 06:07 |
| ZeloZelos | leandro, no i get it, at least one of the compiz options are not working right? | 06:08 |
| DM11 | try installing putnof the windows environment | 06:08 |
| manman | dm11 | 06:08 |
| ZeloZelos | have you done sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz-extras | 06:08 |
| michael87 | ok back | 06:08 |
| michael87 | so I'm back from windows 7. I want to make an aeroglass theme with ubuntu.

| FloodBot1 | michael87: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:08 |
| DM11 | like restarting and booting into ubuntu installation | 06:08 |
| manman | dm11 think you can help me out? | 06:08 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, try sudo apt-get install dh-modaliases then attempt the rebuild | 06:08 |
| leandro | yeah it's just that, i can't close windows like that, i have to 'search' or 'go slowly' to the 'X' in the windows in order to close em | 06:08 |
| leandro | i've tried all the window options and like 10 emerald themes, but they all have the same problem, (yet the windows appear to be fully 'maximized') | 06:09 |
| ZeloZelos | leandro, actually, after the update type sudo apt-get install compiz (then hit the tab key, twice if needed to see the other options | 06:09 |
| ZeloZelos | leandro, did you have unity on this install as well? | 06:10 |
| ZeloZelos | or gnome? | 06:10 |
| blazcab | dr_willis: do you know how to blocked the view full screen in video player | 06:10 |
| manman | lookin for some help any one out there | 06:10 |
| dr_willis | leandro: if all you want is the wobbly windows effect.. theres no reason to be using emerald. | 06:10 |
| diverdude | To disable the touchpad on my lenovo w520 i write the command: synclient TouchpadOff=1 in the command line. however i have to write it an arbitrary number of times before it takes effect. sometimes 3 times sometimes 20 times. why dont it just work the first time always? | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | blazcab: ive never seen that issue in any video players here - other then flash videos when fullscreened. | 06:11 |
| dr_willis | blazcab: i tend to use VLC as my main media player | 06:11 |
| knoppies | Im having issues with tftpd (Im trying to PXE boot). I keep getting Error 2 access violation | 06:11 |
| blazcab | VLC.... fine... I didn't have this idea... i try it... | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | blazcab: i use a dual monitor setup all the time with my Nvidia Cards. using the Twinview option. | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | Only flash gives me that annoyance.. and its fixable. | 06:12 |
| dr_willis | in flash at least. ;P | 06:13 |
| michael87 | I'm using wubi to experiment with ubuntu before I finally make the leap from windows 7. But I want to know how to change the grey window theme on ubuntu or should I look else where like kde. kde was alot easier to theme its just that I like unity's bar alot | 06:13 |

| * mladoux dances with joy | 06:14 | |
| mladoux | new job FTW | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | michael87: theres a few extra packagtes you can install. then theres some themes i use from various ppas - lets see if i can find a beginners guide for doing it.. | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | michael87: may be a guide here -> http://www.webupd8.org/search/label/eyecandy?max-results=10 | 06:14 |
| dr_willis | or you can look at the purty themes. ;) | 06:14 |
| blazcab | thnks dr_willis... now i can't try it... but when i can i'll tell you... | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | michael87: seems you need to install --> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions | 06:15 |
| dr_willis | michael87: then use the gnome-tweak-tool or other tweaker tools to select the theme you want to use. | 06:16 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: The package generation didn't fail, and I'm able to move onto the next step! I'll let you know if all the rest works | 06:16 |
| X-warrior` | I'm in a live cd, dropped with ctrl+f1 to a shell, runned fdisk -l, and then fsck /dev/sdb it say device busy, so I tried umount /dev/sdb it says that is not mounted... but fsck say it is busy... ideas? | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | set the new theme via GNOME Tweak Tool > Theme > Shell theme | 06:16 |
| leptone | to run something its "./PATH/" right? | 06:16 |
| dr_willis | leptone: ./ would be starting where you are at.. its a relative path | 06:16 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, Awesome! Hopefully this is a step towards fixing this for good | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | /foo/bar/ is a full absolute path.. ./foo/bar/ is a relative path | 06:17 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Hm, I am unable to execute sudo aticonfig --initial | 06:17 |
| leptone | dr_willis, sry? dont follow. want to run bin/64/bitcoin-qt | 06:17 |
| X-warrior` | is fsck as /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1, it seems to goes thru using /dev/sdb1 | 06:18 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, check post numbers 22 and 23 and see if that fixes it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22855.20 | 06:19 |
| knoppies | Im trying to install xubuntu using PXE, I keep getting tftp Access Violation. | 06:19 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, I appreciate linking me but again these are all grey windowwed. I want to color the windows themselves. and then use metacity opacity to make it transparent and compiz to make the glass effect | 06:20 |
| sam113101 | I NEED HELP | 06:20 |
| knoppies | sam113101, what do you need? | 06:20 |
| dr_willis | michael87: with themes in ubuntu/gnome/unity you can mix and match differnt parts from differnt themes.. to get stuff looking about how you want. You dont have custome controll over a lot of the little things | 06:21 |
| sam113101 | I'm trying to launch xmodmap when my session starts, but it doesn't work | 06:21 |
| sam113101 | I have to do it manually | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | leptone: so cd to the directory wher eits at and ise ./bitcoin-qt | 06:21 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, I was able to do this when I let kde manage unity. But it kinda went out of wack after that lol | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | michael87: KDE is radically differnt then gnome/unity | 06:21 |
| dr_willis | I dont see how you let kde manage 'unity' | 06:22 |
| sam113101 | why is it so hard | 06:22 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, I installed unity while in linux mint and then kde. I believe the same could be done in ubuntu if you activate kubuntu in the backports or something | 06:22 |
| sam113101 | does it get overridden or does it ever launch? | 06:23 |
| dr_willis | michael87: sounds like a frankenstein design to me. | 06:23 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: you can auto start stuff at login from the .config/autostart directory | 06:23 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: sudo dpkg -i *.deb executes, but sudo apt-get -f install doesn't upgrade, install, remove, or not upgrade anything, and sudo aticonfig --inital still doesn't work | 06:23 |
| SilvereX | it says command not found | 06:23 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, lol thats what I thought I had with linux. The power to make my pc what I want it to be but with stability as well. I love eyecandy | 06:24 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, guilty obsession as a digital artist as well | 06:24 |
| dr_willis | comes to a point where you stop organizeing the pencils on your desk.. and do some real work. | 06:24 |
| sam113101 | dr_willis: that's what I'm using | 06:25 |
| sam113101 | btw, is it better to use ~ or $HOME with those kinds of things? | 06:25 |
| knoppies | Im with dr_willis on that one. It all started with the eyecandy though. I love compiz though, even without the eycandy. | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: what are you having it do exactly? | 06:25 |
| sam113101 | xmodmap ~/.xmodmap | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: i find it best to use the FULL path | 06:25 |
| knoppies | sam113101, often $HOME, but only if you know $HOME exists at the time. | 06:25 |
| dr_willis | xmodemap /home/yourusername/.whatever | 06:26 |
| sam113101 | I tried it too | 06:26 |
| sam113101 | doesn't work | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | and what is your xmodemap command supposed to be doing? | 06:26 |
| DM11 | ever consider cinnamon desktop environment | 06:26 |
| sam113101 | swap keys? lol | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | DM11: not really supported here. ;) so nope.. never considered it.. | 06:26 |
| dr_willis | swap what keys? | 06:26 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, output for aticonfig --initial doesn't say anything like /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/aticonfig: No supported adapters detected | 06:27 |
| sam113101 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5601125/ | 06:27 |
| dr_willis | Hmm this guide mentions /etc/bash.bashrc | 06:28 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Just says "sudo: aticonfig: command not found" | 06:28 |
| dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/54157/how-do-i-set-xmodmap-on-login | 06:28 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, in either case I find unity far more stable then kde and user friendly as far as the unity bar is concerned. Personalization is a pain in the butt on here. And I've spent months researching tryying to theme it up and make it more pleasing to the eye with very little success. making me more and more angry with ubuntu but bumbed out becuase I want to support open source. tryying really hard to like ubuntu becuase I admire the unit | 06:28 |
| michael87 | y toolbar. But I want the windows to look just as nice as the bar itself and hopefully someday as translucent. | 06:28 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, but until then I am tryying to find ones that are simular to 7 for windows borders at least for decorations. But all the good ones are outdated and don't support the new gnome shell. and all the ones that do essentually look the same to me | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | michael87: i tend to use the defaults.. since my main hobby is helping on irc.. so i need to know what most people are using. I find i spend a great deal of time helping FIX/Undo their customizations. | 06:30 |
| dr_willis | Im glad i havent seen anyone ask about that dangerous macbuntu-script in the last month. ;) | 06:31 |
| sam113101 | is the xinitrc file used, though? I thought it was only used when you didn't have a DM | 06:31 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: im not sure any more these days. I thought it got replaced by .Xsession | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: you could try altering that /etc/bash.bashrc file. but that seems a little odd. | 06:32 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, Give this one a shot. It might not have placed your aticonfig file properly. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1494597 post #3 | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: its also possible you need to make a script for running the xmodemap command that waits about 10 sec. for the desktop to get fully loaded/ready.. seen that happen at times with other startup items. | 06:33 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, well again that is a bummer. I saw linux as a world where I can have an os that would be even more intuitive and fun then 7. ubuntu holds so much promise to be this. I love the music system and unity bar. I'm sounding like a broken record. But the solid grey colors reminding me too much of old xp and want to change them band. Even mate sounds more tempting then this lol | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: or you culd make a statup script that runs somthing like 'xterm -e xmodemap /path/to/xmodmapconfig' and see if it actually runs | 06:34 |
| sam113101 | yeah, I'm just going to do sleep 5 && xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap if that's what it needs | 06:34 |
| dr_willis | michael87: i dont even know what solid grey colors you mean.. i twiddle around with so many themes - i got all sorts of colors. | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/mediterraneannight-gtk36-theme-pack.html | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | has 12 color variations | 06:35 |
| leandro | Zelozelos?? | 06:35 |
| leandro | Zelozelos?? | 06:36 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, you just made me want to slap myself in the face. lol thank you | 06:36 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, so maybe you can answer this one for me. is the power consumption on ubuntu more or less the windows 7 set at powersaving mode. I am considering wich is better for power management | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | michael87: the hardware makers put more work into the win7 stuff.. so id bet on win7 | 06:39 |
| Cida | What about Win7? | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | michael87: but ubuntu can use actual LESS resources.. and thus gain benifits. | 06:39 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, hm I see. you mean of course for say lxde desktop? yes? | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | However.. lets face it.. the biggest batery drain on a laptop is normally the lcd/lights/hd spinning.. so if win7 can do all sorts of tweaks and cheats that are not documented for ubuntu devs to even know about win7 will be thebst for battery life | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | lxde is about as ight as you can get for a full featured desktop | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | I rarely even mess with laptops these days. so i dont pay much attention to their battery lifes | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | even when i did use laptops.. a battery was never used for more then perhaps an hr or so till i plugged in again | 06:41 |
| Cida | I have a question, and I know it'll probably make me look rather stupid for not knowing, but what does the ' command do in the terminal? | 06:42 |
| Cida | I tried doing something with it. And like | 06:42 |
| Cida | Nothing happened cx | 06:42 |
| |nv|s|b|e | flash is also hard on laptops | 06:42 |
| |nv|s|b|e | real hard | 06:42 |
| redtape-renegade | ANYBODY: Anybody want to jump on skype and talk about Ubuntu ? | 06:42 |
| dr_willis | Cida: you mwan the single quote ' ? thats not a command | 06:43 |
| poovizhirajan | hi | 06:43 |
| redtape-renegade | hi | 06:43 |
| poovizhirajan | 'hi | 06:43 |
| theyboosting | harro | 06:43 |
| dr_willis | Cida: the BACKTICK ` does somting special. ;) | 06:43 |
| redtape-renegade | you on skype ? | 06:43 |
| redtape-renegade | anybody here on skype ? | 06:44 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, I see. Reason I ask becuase my desktop is going to be my gaming and emulation machine. Wich unfortunately means its stayying windows. I like 7 alot and am angry how flat and basicly dead looking 8 is. again I like some eyecandy with my computer. and I figured since I mostly use my laptop for painting maybe it would be a good excuse to dive into the linux world more. but its tough tryying to find a decent alternative to windows. | 06:44 |
| michael87 | Even considered zoran. Kde is a good one. but not perfect. again most of my favorite fuctions are with ubuntu. so I'm putting alot of my effort to pretty it up | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | michael87: the desktop dosent really mater.. its about the apps used.. | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | You are worrying about the color of your hubcaps.. instead of the job the truck is supposed to be doing. | 06:46 |
| aeon-ltd | also depending on the specs, the extra free cup cycles and ram may be more important than flashier effects | 06:47 |
| aeon-ltd | *cpu | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/elegance-colors-gnome-shell-theme-gets.html seems to be one of the top 'themes' out there.. but it sort of goes past the normal theme limits. :) has its own tweaker tools | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | Options to customize Background color, Text color, Border color, Background opacity, Border opacity etc. for Panel, Menu and Dialogs | 06:48 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, the job is easy enough. but making open source look and run nicer then then corperates os is a tough one. just in case microsoft gives their more power using customers the finger in lue to market a dumbed down os to a bunch of brain dead idiots | 06:48 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, again much appriciated | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | only themes i seem to use are from webupdates sites/guides | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | i got so many ive played with my theme lists are a total disaster | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | I mixx and match parts from differnt themes.. to get what i want.. then cant recreate it on a 2nd pc. ;P | 06:50 |
| r0ugenode | hello there | 06:50 |
| sam113101 | ok, I REALLY can't get it to launch when the session starts, where's the best place to complain about it? | 06:50 |
| michael87 | dr_willis, also I'm tryying to show linux off to uninitited. I gave linux to a few different people who are friends and family and got mostly positive feedback from them. | 06:50 |
| aeon-ltd | michael87: simple isn't always dumbed down. besides easier to learn = more users. if anything this is better overall. i like command line, but really if it required no reading of man pages and wikis to do what i need and want i'd prefer that | 06:51 |
| knoppies | aeon-ltd, I love man, because my momry sucks. | 06:51 |
| knoppies | memory | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: if you want to file a bug report. theres the !bug factoid.. complaining gets you about much gain as sticking your... err... i better stop there... | 06:51 |
| r0ugenode | heh | 06:52 |
| sinfuzi0n | Anyone listen to the Pauldotcom podcast? | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: make a script that does the command, make a startup item that runs the script in a xterm so you can see when its launching. | 06:52 |
| aeon-ltd | sinfuzi0n: relevance to ubuntu? | 06:52 |
| sam113101 | ok | 06:52 |

| michael87 | aeon-ltd, this is true. but again I am not happy with the choise's microsoft is making with 8. and if they start messing up 7 via updates linux is my next option. I am happy we live in a world of choices with our software. especially if some could not afford a microsoft code with their machines. | 06:54 |

| MrMist1 | Hi all | 06:56 |
| * dr_willis waits for the massive gnashing of teeth and wailing of cries when Ubuntu goes the mir/qml route.... | 06:56 | |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: That bug does sound similar to mine. I was previously using an nvidia card | 06:57 |
| sam113101 | how do I open my script in xterm? | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: xterm -e scriptname | 06:57 |
| dr_willis | put a 'read foo' at the end of the script or the term may open/close to fast to read anything | 06:58 |
| sam113101 | xterm -e ~/xmodmap_launch.sh | 06:59 |
| sam113101 | doesn't work | 06:59 |
| sam113101 | ok | 06:59 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, Yea I completely stopped using ATI on linux after my X800. Fglrx just became a complete pain to install | 06:59 |
| sam113101 | xterm -e "bash ~/xmodmap_launch.sh" | 06:59 |
| michael87 | dr_willis. ok dark Mediterranean theme is nice. I'm sticking with that for now. But I would like to find basic colors. Blue,red,green. depending on what mood I might be in that day. | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | make your script actually executable... :) | 07:00 |
| sam113101 | ok | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | michael87: i recall one that changed colors on time of day | 07:01 |
| SilvereX | alkaliv2: Gonna restart my system and continue with the instructions | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | but im clening out all these themes ive installed over the last few months.. got to much theme clutter | 07:01 |
| alkaliv2 | SilvereX, keep me posted, I'll be up a bit longer | 07:01 |
| === dan_ is now known as Guest39308 | ||
| crooked | speaking of themes, I have a bit of a problem where a certain theme ("Ambiance Blue") makes certain text backgrounds appear white | 07:03 |
| crooked | yet it works fine on my other computer | 07:03 |
| MrMist1 | OK | 07:03 |
| MrMist1 | So I've got this tiny problem... I need a newer version of a dev package (source code) then the on in Ubuntu repos.. | 07:04 |
| MrMist1 | Is there any way to search for alternate, newer versions using apt? Or should I just download the sourcecode? | 07:05 |
| xangua | michael87: i am currently using this kind of 'remake' http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-Nouveau?content=153084 | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | MrMist1: the normal route is repos -> then look for a ppa -> then look for source | 07:05 |
| sam113101 | it works | 07:06 |
| sam113101 | and it also breaks redshift's startup | 07:06 |
| sam113101 | for some unknown reason | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | no idea what redshift is.. | 07:07 |
| MrMist1 | dr_willis: Ehm.. how? I'm just using aptitude search now. You mean like editing /etc/aptp/sources.list? | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | MrMist1: theres ppa search sites. | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | !ppa | 07:07 |

| sam113101 | dr_willis: it gives a red color to your screen during the night so it's easier on the eye | 07:07 |
| sam113101 | the default is wayyyyyyyyy too red, but once configured correctly it's great | 07:08 |
| sam113101 | it does more or less the same thing as f.lux | 07:08 |
| SilvereX | sam113101: I was just about to mention f.lux | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | never heard of either. ;) | 07:08 |
| MrMist1 | dr_willis: Yeah... I know of PPA's. However, I was wondering if there are any official ppas for this? Aren't there different versions of the official ones as well? | 07:08 |
| sam113101 | f.lux never worked for me, on linux | 07:09 |
| === dasein is now known as Guest10002 | ||
| sam113101 | I use it on windows though | 07:09 |
| sam113101 | but why does it happen | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | MrMist1: im not sure the term official ppa - ever really applies. :) some project may have their own 'official' ppa.. but its not going to be caonicals offical ppa. since its not ray by canoicaal. | 07:09 |
| SilvereX | It works for me, but it's a bit iffy. | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | sam113101: give us details as to whats its doing. | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | start it from the same script you are doing your xmodemap command. ;) | 07:10 |
| sam113101 | I mean the script is working | 07:10 |
| sam113101 | is it the fact that I don't call xmodmap directly or the fact that it's running inside xterm? | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | and look for error messages when it starts | 07:11 |

| suna | and had skyrim running | 08:28 |
| suna | but | 08:28 |
| suna | it said my rendering was wrong | 08:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: did you use one of their scripts, or did you manually install? | 08:28 |
| theadmin | pvh_sa: Also init.d == sysvinit, not used in Ubuntu either. | 08:28 |
| suna | i am not sure | 08:28 |
| pvh_sa | theadmin, uhm, loads of stuff is still sysvinit only | 08:29 |
| suna | but like i never had a render problem with skyrim | 08:29 |
| theadmin | pvh_sa: Well, true that, there is compatibility thankfully | 08:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: try installing with one of their pre-made scripts, they usually have the "sweet spot" for the app all figured out. | 08:29 |
| suna | when i played it on windows | 08:29 |
| gth | isn't VMWare better than vbox for playing? | 08:29 |
| dr_willis | actually sysv stuff is handled by upstart. :) so.. | 08:29 |
| theadmin | gth: No virtualization solution is good for gaming. | 08:29 |
| suna | well what should i do then | 08:29 |
| suna | i mean i like linux | 08:30 |
| suna | but for some reason my game wont work with it | 08:30 |
| suna | i had it installed | 08:30 |
| suna | and steam | 08:30 |
| suna | and everything | 08:30 |
| suna | was working fine | 08:30 |
| FloodBot1 | suna: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:30 |
| suna | ok sorry abou tthat flood | 08:30 |
| gth | aaah linux and games, sounds like a common lament :] | 08:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: skyrim free on any level, so I can test it? | 08:30 |
| knoppies | gth, thats changing thanks to Valve. | 08:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | gth: I have been rather successfull in that area | 08:30 |
| usr13 | suna: You are using Enter key for punctuation. Try periods and commas | 08:31 |
| theadmin | There's plenty of awesome Linux games, people just don't know of them | 08:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | true. | 08:31 |
| suna | yes you can get skyrim free but i dont condone it unless you have paid for it first. | 08:31 |
| theadmin | Eh well all I need is Minecraft | 08:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | the other day I actually browsed the entire games section of software center, lotta nifty stuff. | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | Minecraftbuntu | 08:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: I meant legally, I got out of the pirate game a while back. | 08:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | well, unless you count emulating very old games | 08:32 |
| gth | actually i'm new to ubuntu, and steam was one of the incentives | 08:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | gth: one year user | 08:34 |
| theadmin | Eh, I'm with Ubuntu since 8.10 more or less (also been jumping to other distros now and then), but I don't miss "gaming" at all. Anyway, we've gotten somewhat off topic, let's keep it to support, please. | 08:35 |
| suna | ok i just wrote this out | 08:36 |
| suna | so like i installed playonlinux, and everything was working fine i installed steam worked fine then skyrim and te launcher worked. after i tryed to play it it said my graphics card could not support rendering3d or something like that. i got tired of messing with it and uninstalled linux. and thought a freind might have a windows copy but i desided id give it another shot so i reinstalled linux. | 08:36 |
| ronalds | suna, if games are your relative pririoty sometimes, maybe dual boot | 08:37 |
| ronalds | but steam has cs, tf2 and other you might want to try | 08:37 |
| dakotawulfy | when u write the boot loader to sda or sda1 kind was trying to install it to usb thumb drive and wanted it on usbthumb drive to boot. | 08:37 |
| suna | see the problem im having is i never had a render problem when i was using windows but like my grapic drivers for linux are fewer then windows | 08:38 |
| theadmin | dakotawulfy: That'd be more of sdb or something. "sda" is the first hard drive in the system, meaning the internal one. | 08:38 |
| salz212_ | Hi I have been googling to find an appropriate command to extract linux OS image metadata.. any help from the community? | 08:38 |
| dakotawulfy | well was sdb or the sdb1 | 08:38 |
| dakotawulfy | yea | 08:38 |
| theadmin | dakotawulfy: sdb, sdb1 is the first partition, only ever useful for chainloading. | 08:38 |
| Jordan_U | salz212_: What type of "os image" and what metadata do you want? | 08:38 |
| dakotawulfy | ok was trying to use usb thumb drive was able to do it if i unhooked the hard drive | 08:39 |
| salz212_ | okay I want to read a linux OS image and extract it's metadata for ext4 | 08:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | report: I can say that dir2ogg works wonders on .mp3, far smaller and no discernable difference in quality to my ear. | 08:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | salz212_: wut. | 08:40 |
| dakotawulfy | wanted to know if it was possible to do it with out remvoing it with regular install | 08:40 |
| Jordan_U | salz212_: You haven't answered either of my questions. | 08:40 |
| theadmin | dakotawulfy: Sure should be, just select the USB stick in the hard drive selection screen | 08:40 |
| salz212_ | OS is ubuntu... | 08:40 |
| dakotawulfy | ok sorry | 08:41 |
| suna | so like anyone got suggestions | 08:41 |
| dakotawulfy | it is an ubuntu install | 08:41 |
| suna | i would like to do a dual boot | 08:41 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | salz212_: we get that, but what the heck are you trying to do, make sense | 08:41 |
| salz212_ | okay I just need to know the files which are marked as deleted ... I somehow searched it should bein OS image metadata | 08:41 |
| suna | but like i said i cannot | 08:41 |
| dakotawulfy | my distro i am working on | 08:41 |
| bazhang | suna, the installer can handle that | 08:41 |
| suna | well can you help me fix it? | 08:41 |
| bazhang | salz212_, what is the exact end goal here. please be very clear | 08:42 |
| salz212_ | Read a linux OS image and extract it's metadata (ext4 file system) -- and it says it should have 1) list of type of distinct files 2) files marked as deleted 3) MAC times | 08:42 |
| bazhang | suna, was this installed already? and via wubi? | 08:42 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bazhang: he deleted something he regrets, I think. | 08:42 |
| dakotawulfy | theadmin so pick sdb1 for boot loader??? | 08:42 |
| theadmin | dakotawulfy: sdb, not sdb 1 | 08:42 |
| suna | well steam was and so was skyrim i installed them using playonlinux | 08:43 |
| dakotawulfy | ok that did not work when i tryed it | 08:43 |
| bazhang | salz212_, yes, why Exactly do you want to do that. Please be very clear | 08:43 |
| salz212_ | I need to find the info.. thats it...not going to do any thing.. just need to display/print it.. | 08:43 |
| bazhang | salz212_, what info | 08:44 |
| suna | no ntzmtthihu77 i would like to get it installed on here | 08:44 |
| salz212_ | 1) list of type of distinct files 2) files marked as deleted 3) MAC times | 08:44 |
| suna | were steam is connected to it becouse some mods reguire it | 08:44 |
| suna | but see i was just going too do a virtal drive so that it was easyer all around becouse i couldnt get the render thing to fix | 08:45 |
| salz212_ | does it make sense to you or need more info? | 08:46 |
| auronandace | suna: if you are planning on gaming inside vbox you might be disappointed | 08:46 |
| suna | well i cant dual boot | 08:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: what he said. only games that worked well in a vbox for me were old emulated roms. | 08:46 |
| auronandace | suna: i don't see why not | 08:46 |
| bazhang | salz212_, why do you want that info, and what is 3) MAC times | 08:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: why cant you? | 08:46 |
| suna | becouse i dont have a cd or usb stick and dont have the money to get it | 08:46 |
| suna | unless i can find a way to mount a .iso image and install it with that | 08:47 |
| suna | some how | 08:47 |
| salz212_ | MAC times are pieces of file system metadata which record when certain events pertaining to a computer file occurred most recently. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | borrow a cd or usb stick then suna | 08:47 |
| suna | i also cant do that | 08:47 |
| suna | or i would | 08:48 |
| suna | i live by myself | 08:48 |
| suna | and i dont like to get out | 08:48 |
| suna | alot unless i need food or cleaning supplys and what not | 08:48 |
| bazhang | suna, sure you can. at any rate dualbooting is the answer to gaming at this point | 08:48 |
| auronandace | suna: ebay to the rescue, really cd-r's and usb sticks are dirt cheap | 08:48 |
| suna | i get paid once a month | 08:48 |
| suna | and that money is gone | 08:48 |
| suna | i had to pay rent | 08:49 |
| suna | then buy a new hard drive | 08:49 |
| suna | for this computer im trying to fix | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | got some 32gb usb for under $18 today | 08:49 |
| suna | and other things i dont even have 1dollar left on it | 08:49 |
| suna | i live on ssi | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | suna: you can setup grub2 to boot an iso file. or use vbox and try to install to a real physcal drive | 08:49 |
| suna | i have the doanload i need | 08:50 |
| suna | to install windows 7 | 08:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dr_willis: the vbox thing wont work, and I think suna is talking about a windows iso | 08:50 |
| dr_willis | to install windows? time to ask in #windows | 08:50 |
| suna | yes i was talking abou that | 08:50 |
| bazhang | suna, this is ab out windows? | 08:50 |
| kojul | there's a #windows? | 08:50 |
| suna | no | 08:50 |
| * dr_willis thinks its time to restate the question | 08:51 | |
| auronandace | suna: let me get this straight: you are installing win7 in vbox inside a wubi install? | 08:51 |
| bazhang | kojul, its ##windows | 08:51 |
| suna | sorry im not good at explaining sutff | 08:51 |
| suna | time to restart the question ok, | 08:51 |
| bazhang | suna do it all on ONE line this time | 08:51 |
| kojul | can grub mount an iso on boot? | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | grub2 2 can boot an iso file | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | IF the iso file is setup right | 08:52 |
| dr_willis | and i doubt windows7 uis | 08:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dr_willis: I concur. | 08:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kojul: yes, you can boot straight from an iso on hdd using a specially made grub menu | 08:53 |
| suna | i wanted to install windows 7 in vbox at first becouse i was tired of messing with trying to fix my render3d error for skyrim when i had no problem with it in windows. but if i can fix it without doing that that would be awsome i like ubuntu but i use my pc mostly for gaming and watching videos so thats why i was going too install it with vbox becouse ubuntu doesnt seem to have any drivers to fix that rendering problem for skyrim for my | 08:54 |
| suna | never had a problem with it | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | wow.. 4% question.. 96% illrevant info. ;) | 08:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: what kind of machine is it? | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | Gameing in Vbox - is going to be poor. | 08:55 |
| suna | sorry about that dr im not good at explaining stuff | 08:56 |
| auronandace | suna: it seems rather silly to me to install win7 in vbox when you are running a wubi install (you already have windows natively on the machine) | 08:56 |
| dr_willis | best would be to find an actual fix for youw windows system issues | 08:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | auronandace: os-ception 0_0 | 08:56 |
| marcs1989 | Is there a teaser video advertising how awesome gimp is somewhere? I'm trying to demonstrate Linux' awesomeness to a frustrated Windows 8 user. | 08:56 |
| suna | its a gateway nv59 with a i5 intel proccesor and standard intel grapics card | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | or just try running skyrim in wine. even then - i bet it will be poor. | 08:57 |
| theadmin | A VM inside a VM inside a VM | 08:57 |
| theadmin | marcs1989: That's best done with a LiveCD :P | 08:57 |
| bazhang | marcs1989, try #gimp | 08:57 |
| l0tbet | vmception | 08:57 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | marcs1989: show him the gnome menu. I bet he misses his start button | 08:57 |
| marcs1989 | theadmin: If only I was physically with them! | 08:57 |
| theadmin | marcs1989: Well, nothing stops you from sending a download link to them. | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | marcs1989: i tend to just to impress them by using linux as they watch... and wonder why i dont need to defrag. or av scan.. or how i can install it to 10 pcs for free... | 08:57 |
| suna | dr i was using wine and playonlinux the first time when trying too play skyrim on my unbuntu computer | 08:58 |
| kojul | gnome? what's that ? ;) | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | !gnomr | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | !gnome | 08:58 |
| ubottu | GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. | 08:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | dr_willis: he was jokin, see da wink | 08:58 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: To heck with Gnome. Classic environment = Xfce. | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu! C64 Geos! | 08:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | kojul: I still have gnome on my precise. | 08:58 |
| vamp774 | Why not just get Skyrim for a console then and keep ubuntu on your PC. Running it with wine will be poor | 08:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: I rather like my gnome | 08:58 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Well, that's your own choice, but it's no longer the "classic" environment Windows people are used to. | 08:59 |
| suna | becouse i dont have 250d for a tv and 40dollars for skyrim and then 250d for the xbox | 08:59 |
| marcs1989 | theadmin ntzrtthihu777: They just want to make it look less like a tablet. | 08:59 |
| kojul | ntzrmtthihu777: I haven't run gnome for 8 years. So I won't talk smack about it, but I'm just a console whore. | 08:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: and I gave [l|x]ubuntu both a try | 08:59 |
| noobie888 | is there an or in an if statement for bash script? | 08:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | noobie888: yup | 08:59 |
| vamp774 | i hear you. gaming isnt cheap :P | 09:00 |
| theadmin | noobie888:"an or in an if"... wut | 09:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | if then else fi | 09:00 |
| suna | having a console in my opinion isnt worth having anymore | 09:00 |
| suna | you have to buy the tv | 09:00 |
| suna | then you have to buy the console | 09:00 |
| bazhang | !ot | suna | 09:00 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: I feel the same, but watch it, FloodBot1 will getcha | 09:00 |
| kojul | GUI | 09:00 |
| noobie888 | i want to do an if x= or y =0 , bash restartscript | 09:00 |
| noobie888 | 2 values where each of one returns 0 | 09:00 |
| antubiskut | hello | 09:00 |
| suna | ok sorry i just want to install skyrim on ubuntu | 09:01 |
| suna | with it connected to steam. if i cannont then i guess ubuntu isnt for me yet | 09:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | noobie888: if [[ "$x" == 0 || "$y" == 0 ]] | 09:01 |
| ronalds | kojul nice entartainment in terminal right> | 09:01 |
| theadmin | noobie888: Ah, easy enough: if test $x -eq 0 -o $y -eq 0 ; then bash restartscript ; fi | 09:01 |

| dr_willis | suna: may be worth checking if skyrim even works in wine. | 09:02 |
| suna | i had wine installed and had skryim installed | 09:02 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | suna: pm me if you like, I'm getting to be pretty handy with wine stuff. | 09:02 |
| kojul | ronalds: I'm also an apple whore for my laptops, and I haven't had a desktop in 3 years. But all my servers are either ubuntu or gentoo. | 09:02 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Um, the "test" binary uses "=" to check for equality, not == | 09:02 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: look again, I did not use [ but [[ | 09:02 |
| theadmin | Oh, what's that do? | 09:02 |
| ronalds | kojul, cause apple has anything more then ubuntu can do.. | 09:03 |
| dr_willis | Includeing the price tag | 09:03 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: In zsh it just gives me "bad pattern" | 09:03 |
| vamp774 | suna: why not dual boot? | 09:03 |
| antubiskut | i got 1 problem..b4 this im using windows and i dont hav any problem connecting my note 2 to my pc via USB...but for my lappy im using ubuntu 12.10 32bit and im having this issue (unable to mount samsung_android)..sorry im kinda new on linux so dont know much..been searcing on uncle google but cant find the solution...tq.. | 09:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: makes things a bit simpler. if $y was empty it would ruin [ with unary operator expected | 09:03 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: and I am speaking bash not zsh | 09:04 |
| dr_willis | antubiskut: for tranfering files to/from an android phone - i find it very hard to beat the 'Airdroid' program - I rarely bother connecting to the pc via USB cable. | 09:04 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: Oh, never mind, it works in an if statement... Some crazy syntax thing. | 09:04 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: yeah, its nifty | 09:04 |
| kojul | ronalds: Well, it does. Because it can do anything that Ubuntu can do, and then it does all the crap an apple can do. | 09:04 |

| AlexQ | ntzrmtthihu777: Don't think upgrade would fix it. xinput --list --long returns only A4 Tech mouse, and on the end, not in Virtual pointer category, there is | 09:13 |
| AlexQ | "touchpad id=6[floating slave]" | 09:13 |
| SilvereX | nvm | 09:15 |
| AlexQ | xinput --test touchpad receives events when I move my finger over the touchpad | 09:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | AlexQ: but in any case soon you won't be able to come bug knowledgable fellows like theadmin and dr_willis about this, so may as well do it ;) | 09:17 |
| test1 | das anyone know the password for ubuntu 12.10 live usb thing | 09:17 |
| Deathlire | Been lookin up the 770. it doesn't seem to have a very appropriate detail on its sound other than it is a harmon/kardon ... | 09:17 |
| theadmin | test1: The Ubuntu livecds/usbs don't have a password set. You're not using Ubuntu if you're asked for one. Well, or there was a problem when burning the CD/USB. Might be best to recreate it. | 09:17 |
| Deathlire | Not seeing a chipset anywhere..so I need more details megdanov | 09:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | test1: there is no password | 09:17 |
| megdanov | i can give you my Alsa information ? | 09:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | test1: why would you need the password, trying to issue sudo? | 09:18 |
| Deathlire | megdanov : how about run lsusb in console | 09:18 |
| theadmin | megdanov: If it's more than 1 line, use http://paste.ubuntu.com , other than that sure. | 09:18 |
| theadmin | ntzrmtthihu777: "sudo" on the livecd works without a password, too. | 09:18 |
| Deathlire | or wait..my brains warped lol..forget i said usb | 09:19 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: dr_willis: xinput --test touchpad returns all moves and all button click with no problem | 09:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | theadmin: yeah, I was gonna tell him that. | 09:19 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: Uhh, sorry, what's your problem again? | 09:19 |
| AlexQ | AlexQ: My touchpad stopped working | 09:20 |
| Deathlire | have to excuse me, I don't run ubuntu lately, just a pure debian you could say. but all the same. | 09:20 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: My touchpad stopped working | 09:20 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: ...In my opinion that's a good thing, I wish I could disable mine :/ | 09:20 |
| megdanov | Deathlire, it's ok. , thank you anyway | 09:21 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: Anyway, check the mouse settings to see if it's disabled there | 09:21 |
| === Firartix is now known as Fira | ||
| test1 | thank you for good messages | 09:21 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: But I think that there is something wrong in xinput --list --long http://paste.ubuntu.com/5601355/ | 09:22 |
| AlexQ | look down, at the ~ touchpad | 09:23 |
| AlexQ | guess it shouldn't be "floating slave" | 09:23 |
| AlexQ | the funny thing is that it returns crazy values of motion a[0] and constant values of a[1] in xinput --test | 09:25 |
| AlexQ | probably that's because it is not set as a pointer and the mouse events aren't interpreted properly. Where can I set my touchpad as "slave pointer" rather than "floating slave"? | 09:27 |
| Deathlire | sorry I couldn't be of any help megdanov, but you should look up the actual chipset your integrated soundcard has..I'm sure ppl can help you alot more with that info. | 09:28 |
| zetheroo | did Ubuntu 11.10 come with grub2 ? | 09:31 |
| theadmin | zetheroo: Grub2 is the default since Karmic, being 9.10 | 09:31 |
| zetheroo | ok nice - thanks | 09:32 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: How can I attach my "touchpad" into Virtual core pointer as a slave pointer, instead of being floating slave in X.org? | 09:32 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: I have no idea what any of those even mean, eh. | 09:32 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: X device states, I can't find how can I control them. Where are X input device settings? | 09:33 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: I'd suppose in xorg.conf (or xorg.conf.d) | 09:34 |
| AlexQ | AlexQ: There is synaptics set properly I guess | 09:38 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: I'll try to reinstall the synaptics driver | 09:39 |
| knoppies | Hi, I am trying to do a PXE boot xubuntu12.04.2 install using a local HTTP mount of the .iso file. I've reached a point where it says "No Kernal Modules where found" and then says there is probably a kernal mismatch between the version of the PXE boot (an ubuntu one) and the local xubuntu archive | 09:39 |
| knoppies | Does anybody have any ideas how i can get around this? | 09:40 |
| liminal | hello | 09:40 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: Maybe when I upgraded Chrome the synaptics package was upgraded and that caused problems? I'll remove it completely, then reboot, then install it again and then reboot. | 09:41 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: Well, you can sure try, but it obviously has nothing to do with Chrome | 09:41 |
| AlexQ | theadmin: What is "Remove completely" in Synaptic package manager; should I use that option on this pkg? | 09:42 |
| AlexQ | Or just simply Remove? | 09:42 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: "Remove completely" maps to apt-get purge, i.e. it removes the configuration files as well | 09:42 |
| knoppies | AlexQ, remove completely (including the config files) is purge. | 09:42 |
| theadmin | AlexQ: MIght be best to use that in this case | 09:42 |
| AlexQ | so it would be better | 09:42 |
| AlexQ | but when I select it and "Apply", there is list "To be removed: xserver-xorg-input-all" | 09:43 |
| AlexQ | doesn't look safe at all | 09:43 |
| knoppies | AlexQ, Im sure that is just a meta package. | 09:44 |
| AlexQ | ok, so proceed | 09:44 |
| AlexQ | reboot & reinstall of that package, thanks, hope will help. Bye | 09:45 |

| Ben64 | suna: it means "does anyone..." type questions don't really help anything | 10:03 |
| suna | i was asking that ben becouse i dont want too ask my question like i have many times before and no one have a clue | 10:04 |
| Ben64 | suna: it only takes a few seconds to type a question. you won't know who can answer it until you ask it | 10:04 |
| suna | anways onwards with my question i wish to install a game on my desktop example skyrim but some of the mods recuire it being linked to steam do i have to install it using steam or could i install it on my desktop then link it to steam some how | 10:05 |
| Ben64 | oh you're talking about steam on wine | 10:06 |
| ryorky1 | {mikey}: here is the paste of my code: http://pastie.org/6439399 let me know if you see anything that looks off | 10:06 |
| suna | and ben true but you know how many times ive asked this same qustion it gets old when you have 100 people in a chat that cant andswer any of my questions | 10:06 |
| Ben64 | theres actually 1693 | 10:06 |
| Ben64 | much more than 100 :) | 10:06 |
| knoppies | Ben64, and how many of those are idling? | 10:06 |
| Ben64 | impossible to know | 10:07 |
| suna | ok i dont want to start some flame war all i want is to get skyrim installed on my computer | 10:07 |
| suna | ive been trying to get this done for like 5 days | 10:07 |
| Ben64 | suna: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24749 | 10:07 |
| blackjack69 | what is skyrim?? | 10:07 |
| suna | ima about to say f it and find a way to get windows again ben i have already tryed that | 10:08 |
| {mikey} | ryorky1, check the uuid of the last line against 'ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -l' | 10:08 |
| suna | i had wine and wine tricks installed tryed it that way | 10:08 |
| Ben64 | suna: you might want to try #winehq then | 10:10 |
| suna | then i uninstalled that and tryed it with playonlinux | 10:10 |
| suna | i think ima just go to bed and get windows tommarrow its 3:09 here | 10:10 |
| bazhang | suna, you should take this to #winehq , thats where it belongs | 10:10 |
| suna | true | 10:10 |
| suna | but that channel no one andswers | 10:10 |
| bazhang | so be patient | 10:10 |
| Ben64 | the appdb has a lot of info, and its rated gold. it can't be that hard to get working | 10:10 |
| {mikey} | suna can't imagine skyrim runs well under wine anyway. | 10:10 |
| suna | i have asked this same question in that channel and alot more and everyone seems to be idleing and bazhang i did wait for 2hours on the first 3 | 10:10 |
| Ben64 | {mikey}: from the appdb - "With an NVidia GTX570, i5 2500k@4GHz, and 16GB RAM as a test system, this game runs smoother then when I was on Windows 7." | 10:10 |
| bazhang | suna, well thats where it belongs. wait as long as it takes. | 10:11 |
| suna | ok then i guess that andswers my question | 10:11 |
| suna | ima hit to bed | 10:11 |
| suna | and hopfully i can get ahold of a family freind or something to get me a copy of windows | 10:11 |
| {mikey} | Ben64, the skyrim / oblivion engine is junky though, I got 70% through oblivion under wine which was gold rated awell before realising minor critical events were miss firing | 10:12 |
| suna | i shouldnt have to reaserch stuff then when i need help have too jump thought 10 thousand loops to get a andswer when in windows all i have to do is click install on steam then install skyrim | 10:12 |
| bazhang | !ot | suna | 10:13 |
| ubottu | suna: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:13 |
| suna | then play it | 10:13 |
| bazhang | suna, thats enough | 10:13 |
| {mikey} | suna, in windows you *cannot* install a game for another os | 10:13 |
| suna | what have a done wrong baz all ive wanted to do is install a game ive asked at least 2k people how to do that on ubuntu and only 1 could help me install it | 10:14 |
| suna | and after that i got a render error | 10:14 |
| {mikey} | suna, if that's what you want wait for them to release it under steam for linux, although I would hold my breath | 10:14 |
| ikonia | suna: I'll make it clear for you | 10:14 |
| ikonia | suna: 1.) windows games are not supported in linux - they may/may not work at random times with software such as wine | 10:15 |
| bazhang | suna, lets move on. #winehq is what is needed. this is NOT the complaints channel | 10:15 |
| ikonia | suna: 2.) ubuntu doesn't make wine - or make games work/fail with wine | 10:15 |
| ikonia | suna: 3.) if you are having problems with wine not working with a game - #winehq is the channel that needs to help you | 10:15 |
| Ben64 | suna: theres like 70+ pages of text on the appdb about it. start reading | 10:15 |
| suna | dont worry about it ikonia thats what im saying and bazhang this is why you dont get new users of ubuntu or linux all together i bid yall goodday | 10:15 |
| ikonia | suna: 4.) if you are unwilling to even read if your game is in a supported status on the wine web site - there is no point discussing anything | 10:16 |
| ikonia | suna: bye | 10:16 |
| {mikey} | suna, LOL | 10:16 |

| Shirakawasuna | and for the pi hooked up to the TV, xbmc will be happy to deal with either samba or upnp | 10:24 |

| hossein | rosdep | 10:35 |
| ikonia | !info rosdep | 10:35 |
| ubottu | Package rosdep does not exist in quantal | 10:35 |
| ikonia | hossein: that package name is not in the default ubuntu repos | 10:36 |
| knoppies | ikonia, yea I know, but I just tried to do ubuntu to a xubuntu image and it states "No kernel modules were found. This is probably due to the mismatch between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the kernel version available in the archive." | 10:36 |
| hossein | so what should I do | 10:36 |
| hossein | :) | 10:36 |
| ikonia | hossein: find that package elsewhere or get the right package name | 10:36 |
| ikonia | knoppies: that's quite surprising as the base kernel version is the same | 10:36 |

| knoppies | ikonia, thats what I thought. That is what Im trying to do now, but Im afraid that if I download a 12.04.2 disk then it will fail, and I will have to download a 12.04.1 disk. I pay for my data. Would rather avoid it if I cant. | 10:37 |
| hossein | so how can I install it? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | hossein: you'll need to compile it, there are normally README and INSTALL text files in it | 10:38 |
| hossein | it downloads the package but cannot locate it! | 10:38 |
| ikonia | knoppies: a reasonable concern, I'd be surprised if it didn't work as the pxe boot is just enough to boot it | 10:38 |
| ikonia | hossein: it's not a package, - it's source code | 10:38 |
| hossein | ow | 10:39 |
| hossein | can you please tell me what is different | 10:39 |
| hossein | or give me a link to go and read | 10:39 |

| kristenbb_ | hi, I've just updated a lot of packages, and since then I can't log in with ubuntu 3D. I'm stuck with ubuntu 2D. I'm using ubuntu 12.04. I can see that the look of the launcher is different, and echo $DESKTOP_SESSION displays ubuntu-2D. What can I do ? | 10:51 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: make sure that the headers of your kernel version are installed | 10:51 |
| k1l | (they are needed for the video driver) | 10:52 |
| kristenbb_ | what does that mean? | 10:52 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: show a "uname -a " please | 10:52 |
| Ben64 | sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g) | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | if your video drivers are not supporting the 3d desktop. unity will default down to the 2d version | 10:53 |

| k1l | ah, Ben64 got the matching installing command | 10:53 |
| Ben64 | k1l: works on every kernel :) | 10:53 |
| Ben64 | or in this instance, could just do "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" | 10:54 |

| _cronus_ | Georgy, does the memory test option work? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | blackjack69: backup your data drive. and install it there.. | 11:00 |
| FerkSwe | Hah! You're still here Georgy! Still not working for you? | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | blackjack69: you can even put grub on that data drive so you boot it instead.. leaveing the windows drives untouched | 11:01 |
| blackjack69 | data drive has lots of empty space..i will shrink it and crate a new partition... | 11:01 |
| blackjack69 | grub wont affect my existing setup..ie the windows 8 and xp dual boot on the other drive?? | 11:02 |
| bekks | blackjack69: There is no guarantuee. | 11:02 |
| blackjack69 | okay | 11:02 |
| bekks | blackjack69: You really should have a backup before chaning something at your partitioning scheme. | 11:03 |

| FerkSwe | blackjack69: Yeah... Backups are a Very good idea... | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | data not backed up - is data thats on borrowed time | 11:03 |
| blackjack69 | okay i will backup everything.. it's gonna take a long time :( | 11:04 |

| kristenbb_ | hi, I've just updated a lot of packages, and since then I can't log in with ubuntu 3D. I'm stuck with ubuntu 2D. I'm using ubuntu 12.04. I can see that the look of the launcher is different, and echo $DESKTOP_SESSION displays ubuntu-2D. What can I do ? | 11:17 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: didnt you install the headers? | 11:17 |
| djbengan | and, i followed the wiki for my macbook air, the 3,1 | 11:17 |
| djbengan | and tried installing the headers | 11:17 |
| djbengan | wich broke unity | 11:17 |
| Deathlire | you can go without that 3d thing..it's much better anyways. | 11:17 |
| Georgy | k1l, well i try to solve my problem for 2 days now :( | 11:18 |
| Georgy | Noone knows the answer :( | 11:18 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: I don't know what that means. uname -a shows 3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:33:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 11:18 |
| k1l | Georgy: even if its 2 years that is no reason to flood the channel with that much textlines at once | 11:18 |
| Deathlire | wait a minute..maverick..is that 9.10? | 11:18 |
| Georgy | Sorry | 11:18 |
| bekks | Deathlire: Yeah, its dead. | 11:19 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: that was just a information for me. Ben64 gave you the correct command. just scroll up and re read | 11:19 |
| Georgy | bekks, i found my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857043 | 11:19 |
| Georgy | Maybe you can help ? | 11:19 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: oh sorry I didn't know this applied to me, he wasn't answering me. So am I to execute this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g) ? | 11:20 |
| Deathlire | I loved maverick.. | 11:20 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: yes | 11:20 |
| Deathlire | don't really like anything to do with unity though..just my opinion though | 11:20 |
| bekks | Georgy: Did you try all the different suggestions mentioned in that post? | 11:20 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 11:21 |
| FerkSwe | Deathlire: Agree. Just switched to gnome 3 | 11:21 |
| Deathlire | but there is some good..even with the new ones of disabling it and using the old desktop of course | 11:21 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: okay, I'm doing it right now. While it is downloading, could you please explain what this is, and why I need it ? | 11:21 |
| Georgy | bekks, yes nomodeset everything | 11:22 |
| Georgy | bekks, nothing helps :( | 11:22 |
| FerkSwe | djbengan: So, when you install your drivers, unity dies? | 11:22 |
| bekks | Georgy: What else mentioned in that post did you try? | 11:22 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I have this rather large key marked with a "P" in the upper right of my laptop keyboard, I remember this being some kind of "program launching" key that worked when I had windows installed, can I remap this to cycle through my workplaces?, | 11:22 |
| Deathlire | is there a reason you want unity? is it a touchscreen or something? | 11:23 |
| djbengan | no, the display goes black | 11:23 |
| djbengan | everything | 11:23 |
| Deathlire | ShapeShifter499 : yes you sure could as long as it doesn't use the same interupts as some other key | 11:24 |
| Deathlire | djbengan : what kind of video card do you have? and processor..i may know the problem | 11:24 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Deathlire, as it stands constantly tapping the key seems to do nothing at all so I'm assuming its a blank key aimed for windows only uses, how would I remap this key btw? | 11:25 |
| we6jbo | hi | 11:25 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: you need the kernel headers to "compile" the drivers for your kernel version. that is what the driver-installer should do. but if you dont have the headers he cant compile and cant install. so you cant run 3d and get to the unity2d | 11:26 |
| djbengan | Nvidia GeForce 320M | 11:26 |
| djbengan | intel dualcore 1,4 | 11:26 |
| Georgy | bekks, well there were no other solutions, and im not going to install 10.04 or smth | 11:26 |
| we6jbo | I have a question | 11:26 |
| you-tee-f | is ubuntu a GNU os ? | 11:26 |
| dr_willis | Gnu tools are used in Linux. | 11:26 |
| k1l | Deathlire: unity is not only for touchscreens. lets stick to the technical issue in here and not to personal favorites | 11:26 |
| you-tee-f | yes i saw glibc | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | Gnu dosent really hae an OS themselfs as far as i know | 11:27 |
| Deathlire | well if memory serves right you could remap it using the ah can't even remember but it comes with normal versions before unity..and it may not be preinstalled on yours..can someone help me out here? | 11:27 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: the drivers of what ? why can't I download a compiled version, as it is usually the case ? | 11:27 |
| FerkSwe | djbengan: Do you have access to a console using ctrl + alt f3 ? | 11:27 |
| Deathlire | headers are source..they aren't a binary | 11:28 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: that is the easiest way for you. just make sure you have the headers installed. the rest does the driver-installer for you | 11:28 |
| we6jbo | Is there a way to not have Ubuntu ask me to enter a password when I close and reopen the laptop lid? | 11:28 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: the driver for your video-card | 11:28 |
| onebitxajax | gi to all | 11:28 |
| FerkSwe | we6jbo: Got ubuntu tweaks installed? | 11:28 |
| onebitxajax | i have a missing header can somene point me how to get it? | 11:28 |
| onebitxajax | GL3/gl3w.h: No such file or directory | 11:28 |
| FerkSwe | we6jbo: I belive there's an option in there | 11:29 |
| djbengan | no tty is not availble when xorg + headers are installed | 11:29 |
| you-tee-f | dr_willis, well my question is then : ubuntu is based on GNU paradigm ? i saw the glibc was used compiling programs | 11:29 |
| Deathlire | sorry k1l : I am doing all this from memory in the sense I haven't used pure ubuntu in a bit. just mostly deb and bt quite a bit lately | 11:29 |
| ikonia | you-tee-f: you're question makes no sense | 11:29 |
| k1l | Georgy: maverick is out of support. | 11:29 |
| ikonia | your even | 11:29 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: okay, the download is done. What now ? | 11:29 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: should I just restart the computer ? | 11:29 |
| you-tee-f | sorry i'm not native, hard to get it | 11:29 |
| you-tee-f | ;-) | 11:29 |
| onebitxajax | nobody can help? | 11:30 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: which video card do you have? | 11:30 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: how can I know that ? I have a laptop.? | 11:30 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: how can I know that ? I have a laptop. | 11:30 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: "lspci" will list your video card | 11:30 |
| Georgy | k1l what does that mean ? | 11:31 |
| you-tee-f | ikonia, ubuntu has some GNU features, does that mean ubuntu was intented to be a GNU system ? | 11:31 |
| k1l | Georgy: out of support means. no updates, no security updates and fixes and no support in here | 11:31 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: many lines appear when I type lspci, which one am I to report ? | 11:31 |
| ikonia | you-tee-f: an "gnu system"??? what | 11:31 |
| Deathlire | uhm GNU..is GNU.. | 11:31 |
| we6jbo | FerkSwe: No tweaks | 11:31 |
| ikonia | you-tee-f: it's a linux distribution, made out of the Linux kernel and the Gnu tools | 11:32 |
| k1l | kristenbb_: the one talking about VGA controller or video card | 11:32 |
| Georgy | k1l, so in other words, no Ubuntu for me :( ? | 11:32 |
| kristenbb_ | k1l: then perhaps this one: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device 95c2 | 11:32 |
| k1l | Georgy: just install a ubuntu that is in the support-range | 11:32 |
| Deathlire | if your doing lspci ...look for something to do with nvidia-amd-radeon-ati something like.. | 11:32 |
| you-tee-f | ikonia, ok thanks | 11:32 |
| Georgy | k1l, 12.10 is ? | 11:33 |

| Georgy | k1l; Well i have the 12.10 lol ? | 11:33 |
| Ben64 | kristenbb_: you might want to do "sudo apt-get install --reinstall dkms" but i'm not sure if ati needs it | 11:34 |
| k1l | Georgy: then why are you talking about maverick? 12.10 is quantal | 11:34 |

| Georgy | There were no other ? | 11:38 |
| Deathlire | try nameservers 1) 8.8.8.8 amd 2.) 8.4.4.8 <- googles nameservers | 11:39 |
| _cronus_ | Georgy, does either the memory test or the boot from hard disk options work? | 11:39 |
| bekks | Georgy: There are a lot. Read the thread again. | 11:39 |
| k1l | Georgy: that was in the text you pasted into the channel. | 11:39 |
| jigal | Seveas, connection time out | 11:39 |
| kristenbb_ | Ben64: so, I typed the reinstall command, and it completed very quickly. What am I to do now ? | 11:39 |
| Seveas | Deathlire: isn't the second 8.8.4.4 | 11:39 |
| bekks | Georgy: And in the post you linked, there even was a link to more suggestions for problem solutions. | 11:39 |
| Ben64 | yeah its not 8.4.4.8 | 11:39 |
| Deathlire | ahh it might be actually Seveas need to dbl check | 11:39 |
| Seveas | jigal: replace 109.72.90.52 with 8.8.8.8 and contact your VPS provider to find out which nameservers you should use | 11:39 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: so, I'd installed xen a long time ago, and now I need to switch kernels. when I do, I get "/bin/xen | 11:40 |
| Kartagis | oops | 11:40 |
| Ben64 | kristenbb_: any errors? did you see it build a module? | 11:40 |
| Deathlire | actually your VPS sppl should have gave you an email with nameservers and dns and all that..kind of odd they didn't really | 11:40 |
| 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 | 11:40 |
| Kartagis | ithout xen installed, and libc.so.6 is at the same place as mine. how can I resolve this? thanks :) | 11:40 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: ^ | 11:40 |
| jigal | Seveas, is it tha same as a DNS? because in my config panel it gives me to DNS adddresses I just used one of them | 11:40 |

| Georgy | What does that mean ? | 11:46 |
| Deathlire | i tried all the nomodeset with quite a few distro's..none would even work when my card just simply wouldn't work..and still to this day I can't figure out why | 11:46 |

| Deathlire | if the comp won't run on the latest kernel it's probably something to do with it not being able to handle such things.. | 11:50 |

| cristian_c | How to switch audio from mono to stereo? | 11:53 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 11:53 |
| eric-97 | how do I use rsync to copy desktop/example.txt to /media/eric/data ? | 12:02 |
| Ben64 | man rsync | 12:03 |
| Deathlire | it copies everything..that you wish | 12:03 |
| eric-97 | could you gimme an example of how to copy stuff | 12:03 |
| Deathlire | cp /home/~user/example.txt /media/eric/data/ | 12:04 |
| eric-97 | and how do I do that with rsync? | 12:04 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, does this message appear in the initrd stage or after root mount? maybe libc is missing only from initrd | 12:04 |
| Deathlire | cp is copy ..rsync is for backing up. | 12:04 |
| eric-97 | the reason I want to use rsync is cos it is faster, am I right? | 12:05 |
| Ben64 | eric-97: for reals, use a man page or do "--help" at the end of a command | 12:05 |
| eric-97 | because look, when I copy files to my USB stick it is at first 25 mbps then after 5 minutes it's 5 mbps | 12:05 |
| Deathlire | usually rsync is for mirroing backups..not for just copying. what are you trying to do eric-97 ? | 12:05 |
| eric-97 | but when I use teracopy on Windows it copies super fast at constant speed | 12:05 |
| Deathlire | *mirroring* | 12:05 |
| eric-97 | so how do I copy files efficiently to my usb stick without exponentially slowing down speed? | 12:06 |
| Ben64 | flash drives are slow, you can't really get around that | 12:06 |
| k1l | Deathlire: rsync is for secur copying because it checks the hashes of the files | 12:06 |
| Deathlire | if your using wireless, those speeds are irrelavent. because negotiaion speeds will deduce when you use them over weak signals | 12:07 |
| eric-97 | is there anything like Teracopy (windows) for linux? | 12:07 |
| k1l | eric-97: the slowing down is related to the slow writing speed of your usb-stick | 12:07 |
| Deathlire | and I'm misspelling words like crazy :P | 12:07 |
| Ben64 | and | 12:07 |
| eric-97 | but come on, even an sd card is faster | 12:07 |
| Kartagis | _cronus_: it appears right after I select the kernel | 12:07 |
| Ben64 | just because it says its going slower doesn't mean it is actually going slower. | 12:08 |
| Deathlire | it all has to do with your speeds of other things and how it can really keep up with data bursts. | 12:08 |
| k1l | eric-97: that depends on that usb-stick and the flash memory in it. | 12:08 |
| Deathlire | but they are right in the word of all | 12:08 |
| k1l | eric-97: i dont know of a reason why cp or rsync should be slower. | 12:08 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, then probably it is missing from initrd. that's why everything looks normal after system is booted. | 12:09 |
| Deathlire | never trust something that says exact time, it is only an estimation | 12:09 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, you could try to extract initrd to verify this... | 12:09 |
| eric-97 | kll: if I have two ISO files, it would be faster ro copy each separately instead of both after eachother | 12:09 |
| Kartagis | _cronus_: how do I do that? | 12:09 |
| eric-97 | *to | 12:09 |
| bekks | eric-97: In terms of I/O, thats irrelevant - the copy process will take the same time. | 12:10 |
| Deathlire | of course it would be faster..that would be seperate files..but not as fast to copy both with cp..so it depends on the eyes of the beholder and your preference | 12:10 |
| Deathlire | and how much you lag within typing the next copy command | 12:10 |
| eric-97 | then what makes teracopy for windows faster than normal copy? | 12:10 |
| bekks | Deathlire: Please tell us, in terms of I/O why copying multiple files will take a longer time for each file, when copying one file after the other. | 12:11 |
| Deathlire | I can't tell you, I haven't used teracopy. But I willtell you windows usually lies about it's copying time and bars. | 12:11 |
| k1l | eric-97: there is a difference between saying its copying faster and actuall doing it faster | 12:11 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, there should be a tutorial. i'll try to locate it | 12:11 |
| eric-97 | Deathlire: thats what microsoft does since DOS | 12:12 |
| k1l | eric-97: the best program in the world cant copy faster than the memory can save the data. thats it | 12:12 |
| eric-97 | ok | 12:12 |
| eric-97 | but can I mod the system to let cp cache more? | 12:12 |
| bekks | eric-97: No. | 12:12 |
| eric-97 | or is it by default? | 12:12 |
| Deathlire | ahh bekks : If you do one copy of a file and it is 40 gigs and you let it finish while walking away..and it's done before you get back..ya get my drift? :P just copy both at once | 12:12 |
| bekks | eric-97: The I/O cache will be as big as possible. | 12:13 |
| eric-97 | oh ok | 12:13 |
| Ben64 | cache isn't the problem. the slow flash memory is | 12:13 |
| Ben64 | get a fancy new usb3 flash drive if you want speed | 12:13 |
| _cronus_ | Kartagis, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/07/how-to-view-modify-and-recreate-initrd-img/ | 12:14 |
| bekks | Deathlire: Copying both at the same time, in terms of I/O, will divide the bandwidth for each file by two. They will take twice the time, and magically, the summed time after finishing copy is the same as copying them one after another. | 12:14 |
| Deathlire | i'm satisfied with 45MB a second on my usb2.0 500gig seagate..of course it doesn't stay with 45MB, it seems to go down to about 20 or so because of the IO. of course :) | 12:14 |
| kokanin | i am trying to boot some diskless nodes using warewulf, while doing the exact same thing quantal and raring fail to boot, but precise works. The console just blanks out after busybox switching to the new root using exec switch_root /newroot /sbin/init, does anyone have a clue what might be changed? | 12:15 |
| Deathlire | bekks ya missed my point, I was actually saying the same thing as you are, really. | 12:15 |
| bekks | Deathlire: 45MB/s on USB2 is pretty impossible, since the technical max. is about 33MB/s for the USB2 controllers. | 12:16 |
| Deathlire | it's hooked up to a 3.0 but i'm only guessing it isn't right since the average speed is around 15-20 | 12:17 |
| bekks | Deathlire: At the beginning of the process, the bandwidth is higher,since the actual process uses the I/O cache in RAM. | 12:17 |
| Deathlire | plus it hasn't been formatted in awhile either..it's pretty unstable | 12:18 |
| k1l | and i think that is what the super_duper copy programs do on windows. they just cache everything in ram or the hdd to make it look faster | 12:18 |
| Deathlire | windows doesn't even really delete files :P | 12:19 |
| Deathlire | but yeah..probably | 12:19 |
| k1l | its like painitng GT stripes onto your car. that doesnt makle anything go faster | 12:19 |
| kokanin | lol | 12:19 |
| Deathlire | you can cache all ya want, but doesn't matter in the end when the throughput is all worn out :P | 12:23 |

| intuxicated | Deathlire: what other driver ? | 12:32 |
| Ned_Flanders | hi i need some help | 12:32 |
| intuxicated | Ned_Flanders: hi :) | 12:33 |

| intuxicated | Deathlire: you mean with jockey-kde ? | 12:34 |
| Deathlire | with gnome actually, haven't used kde since the 90's | 12:34 |
| Deathlire | but still should work either way. I'm guessing you installed via shell? | 12:35 |
| Deathlire | and that you actually have an nvidia thats supported | 12:35 |

| histo | BlackWeb: Why wouldn't it? | 12:36 |
| bekks | WillWork4Foo: Using LVM, you will have to use a third disk to store the metadata for mirroring, or, the mirror will have to be recreated at every bootup. Using LVM for mirroring is a very bad idea. | 12:37 |

| histo | BlackWeb: Use GPT | 12:37 |
| WillWork4Foo | bekks, ah ok. In that case, is there another thing I can do to mirror my OS disk? | 12:37 |
| WillWork4Foo | instead of LVM? | 12:37 |
| histo | BlackWeb: You can't use msdos partioning table you need to use GPT | 12:37 |
| Ned_Flanders | can anyone help me with a memory leak? | 12:37 |
| histo | BlackWeb: like gparted or gdisk or one of the tools that supports it | 12:37 |
| bekks | WillWork4Foo: Using software raid would be the alternative - or use a hardware raid. | 12:38 |
| BlackWeb | On 12.04 Server I can format them but after a couple of reboots then it fails to mount the drives so essentially disables system | 12:38 |
| BlackWeb | I've tried parted and errors out | 12:38 |
| BlackWeb | Heres what I've tried | 12:38 |
| histo | BlackWeb: gparted <<<< notice the G | 12:38 |
| bekks | histo: The g stands for graphical, in terms of gparted. gparted is based on libparted. | 12:39 |
| histo | bekks: I know but it does gpt | 12:39 |
| BlackWeb | Alright I'll give gparted a try but ya parted -a optimal "device" ; mklabel gpt; mkpart; quit ; then mkfs.ext2 "device" | 12:39 |
| BlackWeb | Does it have to be a certain type? | 12:39 |
| WillWork4Foo | bekks, OK - is it possible to apply software RAID to an already-installed system? Or is it destructive? | 12:39 |
| bekks | histo: and the g is totally irrelevant for the features of libparted. :) | 12:39 |
| BlackWeb | It keep erroring out doing ext3, so now it trying to format it with ext2 | 12:40 |
| bekks | WillWork4Foo: I'd reinstall it - and personally, I dont use encryption. | 12:40 |
| WillWork4Foo | bekks, OK thanks. | 12:40 |
| bekks | WillWork4Foo: So you're better of creating a full backup. | 12:40 |
| histo | BlackWeb: gdisk cgdisk and sgdisk if you want to use a cli app. gparted if you want a gui app for GPT | 12:40 |
| bekks | BlackWeb: Dont do it. ext2 is an ext3 without a journal. | 12:40 |
| histo | BlackWeb: What tool did you use to partition the drives/ | 12:41 |
| bekks | BlackWeb: Getting errors errors on mkfs - you should investigate them. | 12:41 |
| BlackWeb | I've been getting the errors when I'm trying to create a filesystem on the partition | 12:42 |
| bekks | BlackWeb: And the errors are caused by the MSDOS label you are using. Use GPT, and you will be able to create partitions larger than 2TB. | 12:42 |
| bekks | BlackWeb: And after creating a partition like that, you will have no problem in using ext4, which is an even better choice than ext3. | 12:42 |
| BlackWeb | Which so far I've tried using mkfs.ext & parted to do the partitions Both have Failed | 12:42 |
| bekks | BlackWeb: mkfs doesnt create a partition at all. | 12:42 |
| histo | BlackWeb: parted should be able to createa gpt table | 12:43 |
| BlackWeb | ya used parted to create the partition then mkfs to do the filesystem | 12:43 |
| Deathlire | new kernels should support 3Tb raids..right? | 12:43 |
| bekks | BlackWeb:You were using the wrong format. You have to use GPT for a disk > 3TB. | 12:43 |
| BlackWeb | How would I obtain a newer kernel throught the command line | 12:43 |
| histo | BlackWeb: It's not the kernel | 12:44 |
| histo | BlackWeb: Ifyou would listen | 12:44 |
| Hawkerz | Deathlire, 3 TB is quite small... | 12:44 |
| BlackWeb | Right now I'm waiting for it to fail again on this format then I'll try those suggestions you mentioned :) | 12:44 |

| coolmanlg | I have a mobile broadband app installed in wine but the app does cannot see the attached usbmodem. Any idea on how I can access the modem from wine? | 13:10 |
| Deathlire | setup your conf with using usb0-1-2-3 try doing lsusb to find your usb stick | 13:11 |
| cfhowlett | coolmanlg, I'd be surprised if wine has fully realized USB support ... | 13:11 |
| Hawkerz | wine barely has 32 bit windows executable support | 13:12 |
| Georgy | Hawkerz, last one, but i have same pc | 13:12 |

| Deathlire | wine.conf or winex | 13:13 |
| histo | Deathlire: Yeah but he would need drivers that the program would understand | 13:13 |
| histo | coolmanlg: Any reason you don't use the usbmodem in linux? | 13:13 |

| Deathlire | brb gotta put the hamburger up for slaughter :P | 13:14 |
| Hawkerz | for software running on wine to have seamless integration with os/hardware seems like it would have to be a miracle -- it's not like he's just trying to access a bag of bits or some files | 13:14 |
| coolmanlg | histo: the app provide a means to recharge the modem with credit. I have not been able to find a way to send USSD request via the modem | 13:14 |
| histo | coolmanlg: What kind of modem is it? | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | coolmanlg, perhaps install windows into a virtualbox, install guest additions and run your app ... | 13:15 |
| histo | +1 for virtual machine | 13:16 |
| tobzel | For some odd reason I don't understand my libmysqlclient disappeared from /usr/lib. I've already tried to reinstall libmysqlclient-dev and mysql-client but it doesn't reinstall the fiel | 13:16 |

| Hawkerz | coolmanlg, but it does sound like it could be a fun side project to spend your vacation on! | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | coolmanlg, you might be asking just a bit too much of wine ... | 13:17 |
| Hawkerz | I literally just tried getting outlook working in wine | 13:18 |
| Hawkerz | even that crashed | 13:18 |
| Georgy | Hawkerz, there is no solution given ? | 13:18 |
| coolmanlg | histo: I can use the modem in ubuntu. infact that is what am using right now in Ubuntu 12.04. | 13:19 |
| Hawkerz | you're not even installing the same release,... | 13:19 |
| histo | coolmanlg: What do you mean a way to recharge credit? | 13:19 |
| Georgy | Well its the same problem ? | 13:19 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, that is. | 13:19 |
| coolmanlg | Hawkerz: yea. My coding ability is limited to php and a bit of python. | 13:19 |
| histo | coolmanlg: I doubt that's controlled on a hardware level. | 13:19 |
| Deathlire | huawei..with a subscription from what provider? | 13:19 |
| Hawkerz | coolmanlg, yeah, i realized that sounded as thought it was directed at you, but it wasn't | 13:19 |
| Georgy | Hawkerz, i think its just Asus :( | 13:20 |
| Hawkerz | histo, but its ability to connect to the internet is probably dependent upon having some system to tell it to do that | 13:20 |
| coolmanlg | histo: It's prepaid modem with subscripton from a provider. | 13:20 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, what is the laptop you're working with? | 13:20 |
| histo | coolmanlg: So I don't understand why you need their software if it's prepaid | 13:21 |
| Deathlire | have you considere you also have to siable that *modem* to use as an emulated device since it's not going through loopback for some reason? | 13:21 |
| histo | coolmanlg: you pay them it works.... | 13:21 |
| Deathlire | disable* | 13:21 |
| coolmanlg | histo:the modem usually come with windows app that you can use to buy subscription. Huawei has an app for Linux but all effort to get it to work has been futile. | 13:22 |
| Guest44549 | Im trying to get a hang of ARP. Lets say I want to send a packet from x to y via router R.

| histo | coolmanlg: Can you buy a subscription from the providers site? | 13:22 |
| Deathlire | you need the driver that windows uses to run the modem placed in your wine libs...preffereably a 32 bit one | 13:22 |

| Deathlire | put the drivers for the usb modem into wine..and then restart it, start it up and then emulate the windows software | 13:24 |
| Guest44549 | okay, Hawkerz. Will try that | 13:24 |

| megdanov | i can't find any appropriate driver to install. The speakers are working since installation but not the subwoofer(it's integrated) | 13:29 |

| Hawkerz | what kind of laptop is it? | 13:32 |
| megdanov | Toshiba Qosmio X770 | 13:32 |

| cfhowlett | Guest56538, different providers, different processes ... | 13:37 |
| Guest56538 | i dont know. :( ive just installed ubuntu sorry | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | dannyjoris, outside of my area, but I bet #ubuntu-server might know. | 13:38 |
| dannyjoris | cfhowlett: thanks | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | Guest56538, so you have NOT bought a vpn package then. That's step one I guess. The few free vpn providers are well known and quickly killed by the great firewall | 13:39 |
| Hawkerz | dannyjoris, you probably have to bind sshd locally | 13:39 |
| Hawkerz | and if you're also running sshd on the host, you probably want to put one of them on a different port | 13:39 |
| Hawkerz | then you can just ssh localhost | 13:40 |
| Deathlire | hmm somebody trying to use the free shell access with no output or otherwise firewalled output? | 13:40 |
| Guest56538 | ah yes, i prob need to buy a vpn service i know i was using freegate on my windows system but it wasnt terribly good | 13:41 |

| Deathlire | just make sure root has a good password or it will be just the same | 13:44 |
| Guest56538 | FB walkaround? or which VPN would you suggest? | 13:45 |
| jkkl | cfhowlett: Deathlire: Well, I don't get viruses from your mom either. I'm protected. So please cease and desist your blabbering. Are you trying to convice me that not getting any viruses is a symbol of high quality of your choice of software? The fact that you're attributing that characteristic to Linux has already earned you a spot on my hate list. Besides, I can make my computer immune to viruses. Just watch. Pop! Did you see that?

| gustav_ | Yep. | 14:00 |

| Georgy | last one | 14:09 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, did you just install bumblebee + optirun? | 14:09 |
| Georgy | but more modern version | 14:09 |
| cfhowlett | www.ubuntu.com | 14:09 |
| Georgy | with different background | 14:09 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Ehm... optirun is in bumblebee, I think... | 14:10 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, so you choose 'install ubuntu' and it goes to a black screen? | 14:10 |
| Georgy | yes | 14:10 |
| Georgy | and i tried | 14:10 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, do you have primus installed? | 14:10 |
| Georgy | nomodeset | 14:10 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Yep? It matters? | 14:10 |
| Deathlire | everything matters :P brb | 14:10 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, did you try the 'try ubuntu' option? | 14:10 |
| Georgy | yes | 14:11 |
| Georgy | try ubuntu without installing | 14:11 |
| Hawkerz | and had the same experience? | 14:11 |
| Georgy | yes | 14:11 |
| Hawkerz | interesting....can you tell me the model of the laptop you're on? | 14:12 |
| gustav_ | primusrun is broken on this machine. | 14:12 |
| Georgy | Asus X71SL | 14:12 |
| Georgy | GeForce 9300M GS | 14:12 |
| Georgy | 2.00 ghz | 14:12 |
| Georgy | 3gb ram | 14:12 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, I believe you need Bridge=auto in the optirun section | 14:12 |
| Hawkerz | at least if you have the latest version... | 14:13 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Ok. Do I restart bumblebee somehow...? | 14:14 |
| Hawkerz | sudo service bumblebeed restart | 14:14 |
| gustav_ | Oops. HoN died. :> | 14:14 |
| Hawkerz | HoN? game? | 14:14 |
| gustav_ | Yep. | 14:14 |
| Georgy | Hawkerz, any ideas ? | 14:14 |
| Hawkerz | what machine are you running? I have the same exact configuration as you | 14:15 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, probably, I'm looking | 14:15 |
| gustav_ | A laptop. | 14:15 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, make and model would be particularly useful | 14:15 |
| Georgy | HAwkerz Thanks :D | 14:15 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Same problem. Ok. Clevo P150EM. | 14:15 |
| Hawkerz | hmmk. lets see | 14:15 |
| gustav_ | I think it's a configuration problem with Steam. Wrong packages. | 14:16 |
| Hawkerz | if you want to try reinstalling steam that's certainly an option | 14:16 |
| jammsen | hi guys, i try to run teamviewer on my ubuntu 12.10 but when someone connects on my meeting the screen is just white, i dont find a reason why. Could please help me someone? Im using the current version of teamviewer. | 14:16 |
| Hawkerz | it could easily be any number of fairly common problems with the nvidia/bumblebee setup | 14:17 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: What's the correct way? apt-get purge steam? I think there's some i386 version installed as well... | 14:17 |
| gustav_ | Ah. :/ | 14:17 |
| Hawkerz | if you do dpkg -l | grep steam | 14:17 |
| Hawkerz | it will show you all of the isntalled packages | 14:17 |

| Hawkerz | Georgy, here is one suggestion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814221 | 14:18 |
| Hawkerz | (last post) | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, greetings | 14:18 |
| Deathlire | jammsen : your wine isn't setup correctly is all, Last time iused teamviewer it was 7+ so it's probably wine related try an 'apt-get update wine' | 14:19 |
| Deathlire | in terminal, that is. | 14:20 |
| Georgy | Hawkerz, what am i supposed to do with the codes :( ? | 14:20 |
| === muya__ is now known as muya_ | ||
| GranoSalis | cfhowlett: thanks | 14:21 |
| Georgy | Allright i got solution | 14:21 |
| Georgy | let me try | 14:21 |
| Georgy | brb | 14:21 |
| Hawkerz | Georgy, when your system is first booting up, get into the bios (f2 or something) | 14:21 |
| GranoSalis | could someone help me with Firefox? | 14:21 |
| Hawkerz | 3 minutes of googling for that one | 14:21 |
| Deathlire | yeah download chromium | 14:21 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, details??? | 14:22 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, do you have PMMethod defined in the [driver-nvidia] section of your bumblebee.conf? | 14:22 |
| GranoSalis | Deathlire: i got used to FF | 14:22 |
| Deathlire | well whats the problem with it? | 14:22 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: auto. | 14:22 |
| GranoSalis | cfhowlett: how do i change the "icon's" of firefox? | 14:23 |
| GranoSalis | to look more like the ones in windows | 14:23 |
| joakimw | Hey guys. I'm having this weird problem with my keyboard layout. After boot its always American English, even though the only language I have added is Danish. If i add any other language and remove it, its turned to Danish. Any way I can make sure it's defaulted to Danish when I boot? Ubuntu 12.10 | 14:23 |
| jammsen | Deathlire: i have done that wine version 1.4.1 | 14:23 |
| jammsen | nothing helped | 14:23 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, I think you want to add a windows "theme" from firefox addons ... | 14:23 |
| Deathlire | well, I'd suggest you use windows, if you want windows. but if you want to change some icons usually a right click on an icon can help you | 14:23 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, and you are a member of the bumblebee group? from a command prompt run 'groups' | 14:23 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Yep. | 14:24 |
| GranoSalis | cfhowlett: thanks and heres a bigger problem,when i go to ,lets say youtube,and want to use the search bar i dont see the letters i type | 14:24 |
| Deathlire | jammsen : also no problems hen it installed? | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, see "windows classic for firefox 18.0.0" | 14:24 |
| GranoSalis | I'm using FF Nightly | 14:25 |
| jammsen | Deathlire: its all up-to-date | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, you're on unity I take it? | 14:25 |
| jammsen | but when you would connect from windows, its white | 14:25 |
| GranoSalis | cfhowlett: nope im on Debian with Awesome | 14:25 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, you have updated all of this since Bumblebee 3.1 was released? | 14:26 |
| Deathlire | TV doesn't play well with viewing the unix client very well, albeit it usually does a good job, but remember it's all beta..it's main focus is helping windows users | 14:26 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Updated what? | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | GranoSalis, never used debian but I think if you change your desktop environment or display themes ... | 14:26 |
| Hawkerz | bumblebee/primus | 14:27 |
| Guest56538 | ok guys i gtg | 14:27 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: I think it's the only version I've ever used. | 14:27 |
| hellier | Hey, does anyone know how to get soundblaster wirelessheaders to connect through bluetooth? :| | 14:27 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, run 'bumblebeed --version' and tell me what version you're on | 14:27 |
| hellier | wireless head phones* | 14:27 |
| gustav_ | 3.1 | 14:28 |
| Hawkerz | okay...is this a new installation for you? | 14:28 |
| Fuzzles | gustav_, what version | 14:28 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Never reinstalled, not new as in new. Maybe 6 months. | 14:28 |
| Hawkerz | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/bumblebee-31-released-with-primus.html <- i'd probably reinstall from the ppa following those instructions | 14:29 |
| gustav_ | Fuzzles: 3.1. | 14:29 |
| gustav_ | Oh boy. -.-" Headache. | 14:29 |
| oldude67 | anyone got a reason why when installing samba4 and its deps. does my ubuntu 12.10 starts crashing before i even use it? | 14:29 |
| Hawkerz | it won't be too bad, feel free to pm if you want help | 14:30 |
| gustav_ | Primus has been buggy, I don't like it. | 14:30 |
| Hawkerz | I literally just reinstalled mine today | 14:30 |
| Hawkerz | and it works much better | 14:30 |
| gustav_ | I got flickering. | 14:30 |
| Deathlire | ahh samba.. apt-get update samba* | 14:30 |
| gustav_ | Yes, it's faster, but. | 14:30 |
| Hawkerz | hmm, before we go crazy on this one though, what if you run steam without optirun? | 14:30 |
| calwig | hi, i have a 20Gb free partition, between 2 other existing ext2 partitions, where linux resides. All ok, except that Im installing Windows in that free partition, and the setup wont let me | 14:30 |
| calwig | How can I move the 20Gb out of the center of the hard drive and on to the BEG or END of the drive? Gparted will only allow resize, not move | 14:31 |
| priyal | Hi all. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and am not able connect to internet vi lan cable.. It always shows me up: "Cable unplugged" | 14:31 |
| Hawkerz | calwig, the only way to re-order partitions is to rewrite the partition table | 14:31 |
| priyal | Please help and guide, am badly stuck here | 14:32 |
| priyal | I tried to follow up this documentation : http://askubuntu.com/questions/161482/wired-connection-not-working-ubuntu-12-04 | 14:32 |
| priyal | But it too didn't help | 14:32 |
| Deathlire | try rebooting a few times til it lets you calwig ..or use an old 16/32 bit program like nortons partition magic..or just use the good ol parted or gparted. part magic will move your small partition. but it's better to back it up | 14:32 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Works. I remember, but TF2 is too slow to play. | 14:32 |
| Hawkerz | yeah, figures | 14:32 |
| gustav_ | You insulting my Intel GPU? :O | 14:33 |
| Deathlire | i'll insult an intel gpu :P | 14:33 |
| Hawkerz | is it the xxxx 4000 or whatever ? | 14:33 |
| Hawkerz | if so, yes | 14:33 |
| gustav_ | xD | 14:33 |
| gustav_ | Yeah. | 14:33 |
| Deathlire | i insult my own gpu..an radeon 6530hd | 14:33 |
| calwig | Hawkerz, oh, rewrite partition tables, how? | 14:34 |
| priyal | pleAse help ! | 14:35 |
| gustav_ | Probably the 3.1 update that broke everything for me. | 14:35 |
| priyal | I am not able to figure out the problem | 14:35 |
| Hawkerz | best bet would be to create an image of the partition on the outer part of the drive, then write it to be sequentially after the other partition so you are not sandwiching windows | 14:36 |
| Hawkerz | though I'm not actually certain you can write windows anywhere but 1st, all my dual boot systems have been that way | 14:36 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, it's likely, but it's salvageable if you want to make it work | 14:36 |
| calwig | Hawkerz, interesting | 14:37 |
| six2 | dern new 8Mb cable is suckin | 14:37 |

| cfhowlett | Sebus, did you 1. verify the iso with md5sum and 2. check for disk errors at boot? | 14:38 |
| Deathlire | asus is an old problem :P | 14:39 |

| oldude67 | well as soon as i uninstall samba4 system stops crashing. | 14:40 |
| Hawkerz | also did you try booting with nomodeset enabled | 14:40 |
| calwig | Deathlire, so somehow rebooting a few times will allow Vista to install? | 14:40 |
| Hawkerz | calwig, no, Deathlire is confusing windows and linux | 14:40 |
| Sebus | Hawkerz: I'll try that, now i'm sitting on other terminal machine, hard to use links | 14:40 |
| Deathlire | well sometimes it does, for win7 ultimate..not sure about vista.. | 14:41 |
| === muya__ is now known as muya_ | ||
| Deathlire | actually had that problem the other day when someone refused to format their c: drive ..t didn't want to do anything but finally it did..and i told them good luck lol.. | 14:42 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, you have nearly the same configuration of hardware as me | 14:42 |
| Hawkerz | I will paste my configuration | 14:42 |
| avi143 | Plz suggest any free resource to learn linux commands.. | 14:43 |
| Deathlire | it's always good to do a really nice 24 hour format of your drives before installing any Os..of course normal formatting does well, but doesn't get to all the problem areas (ex. dban boot n nuke) | 14:44 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: What should I do now exactly? Reinstall bumblebee? That can go horribly wrong. xC | 14:44 |
| Hawkerz | nah, give me a second and I'll give you a good set of instructions | 14:44 |
| gustav_ | Alrighty. | 14:45 |
| calwig | i see | 14:46 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, one thing that'd be helpful would be to know which ppa's you have enabled | 14:47 |
| === jose is now known as joseCO | ||

| Hawkerz | oh | 14:50 |
| Hawkerz | xorg edgers eh? did you install the experimental nvidia driver? | 14:50 |
| Deathlire | do 92. | 14:51 |
| gustav_ | Hm, I don't think so... I'm using 313...something. | 14:51 |
| Deathlire | if your using an intel gpu..try the old version it's like 9x something | 14:51 |
| avi143 | Linux.org is aweaome | 14:51 |
| gustav_ | 313.09. | 14:52 |
| avi143 | Thanku | 14:52 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, that's certainly a potential issue, since the driver may be called something else when it runs | 14:52 |
| gustav_ | Deathlire: Me? It doesn't support my GPU, I think. | 14:52 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: o_O | 14:52 |
| Deathlire | i never could get my other comp with an intel to use the experimental driver | 14:52 |
| gustav_ | I don't know how anything of this works. | 14:53 |
| Deathlire | but that was on an older version of Xorg and even ubuntu actually..it just seemed like anything newer would kill it no matter the distro was a P4 based | 14:54 |
| Deathlire | was like an Intel 85* based gpu or 87* | 14:54 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, run: 'vblank_mode=0 optirun glxspheres' -- let it run for a few seconds, kill the window it ambushes you with, and pastebin the output of the run as well as the output of 'dmesg | grep -i nvidia' | 14:54 |
| Hawkerz | (but the dmesg output only is useful after you do the optirun' | 14:55 |
| Deathlire | i'll stay out of this convo seems Hawkerz has it down.. | 14:55 |
| gustav_ | It looks good. | 14:56 |
| gustav_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602076/ | 14:56 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, and my only other question is whether you had primus installed before -- if you installed 6 months ago, you likely did have primus installed... the output of apt-cache showpkg primus | 14:57 |
| Hawkerz | your card puts mine to shame | 14:58 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602080/ Yep. | 14:58 |
| Hawkerz | i guess i should upgrade my drivers | 14:58 |
| gustav_ | I got 304 with primusrun, but primusrun doesn't seem to work in practice with real applications. | 14:59 |
| gustav_ | It flickers. | 15:00 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, I had the exact same setup and I upgraded today | 15:00 |
| gustav_ | Ok... | 15:00 |
| gustav_ | And your steam works? | 15:00 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, sudo apt-get purge primus && sudo ppa-purge ppa:zhurikhin/primus | 15:00 |
| gustav_ | :O | 15:00 |
| Hawkerz | you may need an apt-get update somewhere in there | 15:00 |
| === joseCO is now known as jose | ||

| gustav_ | Done. | 15:01 |
| gustav_ | Trying optirun steam. | 15:01 |
| gustav_ | Same problem. | 15:02 |
| Hawkerz | technically after you do the purge, you should sudo apt-get install primus primus-libs-ia32:i386 | 15:02 |
| gustav_ | Ok. | 15:03 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, you just deleted primus, reinstalled it, and now need to set your config properly | 15:03 |
| alainus | how do i run a program from a console without it outputting to it? I'm using "$ commandname &" right now... but it's not exactly it (it still outputs when opened/closed, and opens a second window of the program) | 15:03 |
| Deathlire | try && if on a shell? | 15:04 |
| POVaddct | alainus: you want the console output of the command suppressed? redirect stdout and stderr to /dev/null: "$ commandname >/dev/null 2>&1 &" | 15:05 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, and then use something like this for config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602111/ | 15:06 |
| Vegombrei | hi .. currently on ntfs partition windows 7 gonna install ubuntu, so correct me if im wrong, i can simply download the 64bit ubuntu and install and allocate the space when it comes up etc, does it also do the bootloader and give me the option to boot from windows? | 15:06 |

| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: so i dont have to get that windows installer one right? | 15:07 |
| Hawkerz | i would strongly advise against using wubi | 15:07 |

| bau- | hi all, I have downloaded ubuntu 12.04 64bit but can't burn it on a 700mb (80 min) cd from windows 7, it says it's not enough space, why? | 15:08 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, but you can get an iso and burn it, no? | 15:08 |
| Loki_ | How can I choose between environments in text mode? | 15:08 |
| Deathlire | in all my time..always mattered when ya installed any os, and had to format or delete a partition just to use things | 15:08 |
| Hawkerz | Loki_, which environments? | 15:09 |
| Hawkerz | bau-, are you attempting to burn it as a disk image? | 15:09 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: frighin grandma used up all the blank dvds its too cold to venture out dude | 15:09 |
| Loki_ | For example: startx KDE - startx gnome | 15:09 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, so you have no dvd's and you have no usb sticks? | 15:09 |
| bau- | Hawkerz, yes, I'm using cd burner xp and burning as a disk image | 15:09 |
| Deathlire | anybody know if enlightenment is ever being updated? i'm gonna guess no | 15:09 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: i have plenty of usb sticks | 15:10 |
| Hawkerz | Loki_, why are you trying to start x window servers from the console? | 15:10 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, so you can install from there right? | 15:10 |
| Loki_ | Hawkerz: Later I have installed ubuntu desktop in my backtrack, without see it, My O.S. became ubuntu LL. | 15:10 |
| Loki_ | Hawkerz: My system is backtrack.. based on ubuntu.. | 15:11 |
| Loki_ | look my earlier message please... | 15:11 |
| Deathlire | backtrack is based on debian eh..but uses some thngs from ubu | 15:11 |
| Hawkerz | ah...and you want to have control over which desktop environment starts up | 15:11 |
| Deathlire | i know quite a bit about bt eh | 15:11 |
| Hawkerz | when I had to worry about that I just threw it in .xinitrc I think | 15:11 |
| Laiquendi | Guys, anybody can answer me some nooby questions about ubuntu for smartphones? | 15:11 |
| Hawkerz | unlikely | 15:12 |
| Hawkerz | i'm not even sure if its out yet? | 15:12 |
| Laiquendi | yeah this is one of those questions... | 15:12 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: yeah but back to my question, i donno what to download ... apparently there are three of them ... one that is a windows installer one thats the standard (my preference) and then theres this one LTS or something .... which do i download onto my usb stick? | 15:12 |
| Laiquendi | i can't get straight answer from the internet | 15:12 |
| Deathlire | ubuntu isn't out for arm completely..you can do some mods to use it on a droid though | 15:12 |
| xangua | !phone | Laiquendi | 15:13 |
| ubottu | Laiquendi: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 15:13 |
| Laiquendi | thanks | 15:13 |
| Deathlire | depends on your phones total memory and cpu power though | 15:13 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, there are a couple of options -- you have really two different releases to choose from -- 12.04 which is long term support, and 12.10 which includes a bit more on the feature side but imo is also a bit buggier | 15:13 |
| Loki_ | Hawkerz: Can you, please, tell me how can I choose between KDE and Gnome in the text mode? | 15:13 |
| IvelfanFr | Bonjour/Hello | 15:13 |
| Loki_ | Or anybody? How can I choose between environments in text mode? | 15:14 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, after you figure that out, you have 3 download options -- Wubi installer, CD/DVD, or USB. | 15:14 |
| Deathlire | it's a passion of mine to flash the androids and such..can even run a version of windows CE on them | 15:14 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, but Wubi is not a 'real' ubuntu install for all intents and purposes. It is ridiculously easy to use, but it isn't so easy to move your stuff into a proper installation if you ever decide you're sick of being tied to windows | 15:15 |
| IvelfanFr | I have a problem with my new computer. When I start my computer on Ubuntu 12.04, when I launch Firefox, all software have a freeze. | 15:15 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: ok so im downloading 12.10, ill install it from usb, will it gimme the option to boot from windows when i need windows , | 15:15 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, of course installing ubuntu to the MBR has it's own challenges if you decide later you want to remove it and keep windows | 15:15 |
| Hawkerz | yes, it will give you a selection menu and i think 10 seconds by default to navigate (probably will boot linux by default unless you change it) | 15:16 |
| Deathlire | if you install it..grub should automatically place it within the boot menu..if not you can run a command and make it work | 15:16 |
| Hawkerz | grub will do it, for sure | 15:16 |
| Deathlire | don't tell me they replaced grub recently? | 15:16 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: ok great, i prefer ubuntu .. but i have certain stuff like cameras etc that have windows software so occasionally i need windows | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | well grub2...works pretty well | 15:17 |
| ferronica | Need help regarding NDISWrapper with WG311 V3 WLAN | 15:17 |
| billkd | Deathlire: They use grub2 at least on my raring box. | 15:17 |
| Deathlire | well Vegombrei : in console type 'apt-get install wine*' | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | Vegombrei, okay, so just um, don't wipe your ubuntu partition later, or, not without rebuilding the windows master boot record | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | meh | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | wine isn't nearly that good | 15:17 |
| billkd | ferronica: Are you sure you need ndiswrapper? Try native drivers first. | 15:17 |
| IvelfanFr | Someone can help me, I don't why Firefox have a freeze. | 15:17 |
| Deathlire | well grub21 is stil grub..a lil different but still uses the same conf at least | 15:17 |
| Hawkerz | for real time streaming video i wouldn't want to be fighting with wine | 15:18 |
| Hawkerz | Deathlire, enlightenment was updated btw | 15:18 |
| Hawkerz | this year | 15:18 |
| Vegombrei | Hawkerz: i understand | 15:18 |
| Loki_ | Hawkerz: Hello - oo | 15:18 |
| ferronica | billkd, for Netgear WG311V3 | 15:18 |
| Hawkerz | Loki_, hi, I don't know, I don't use gnome or kde anymore and I'm not sure if they are invoked the same way | 15:18 |
| ferronica | billkd, you know where to get Netgear Driver for ubuntu 12.04 34bit | 15:18 |
| ferronica | billkd, you know where to get Netgear Driver for ubuntu 12.04 64bit | 15:18 |
| Deathlire | haha nice..i used to use enlightenment back when i had like mandrake 7 installed many years ago :P | 15:19 |
| Hawkerz | please don't spam, ferronica | 15:19 |
| Hawkerz | try jockey-gtk for proprietary drivers | 15:19 |
| ferronica | Hawkerz, Oh Sorry | 15:19 |
| Deathlire | if you can't get a driver for it..you can actually modprobe it | 15:19 |
| Hawkerz | ferronica, it that is -- 'additional drivers' | 15:20 |
| Deathlire | should be able to anyways..i always had to with my pci trendnet for some reason | 15:20 |
| ferronica | Deathlire, how im new in linux | 15:20 |
| Hawkerz | you can go to the dash and look for it or I believe it's in system settings as well | 15:20 |
| ferronica | Hawkerz, no | 15:20 |
| Hawkerz | just click on the top left button on the launcher and type 'additional drivers' ... | 15:20 |
| Hawkerz | is this for a network card or a router? | 15:20 |
| ferronica | Hawkerz, For WLAN Card Driver WG311 V3 | 15:21 |
| Deathlire | if your new to linux then i'd suggest heeding to Hawkerz suggestions..and if it just won't work i may have a fix | 15:21 |
| billkd | ferronica: Any reason for using an LTS? They are usually made for large scale deployments not end users. Try upgrading to 12.10. | 15:21 |
| Deathlire | uhh cause its long term Support... | 15:21 |
| ferronica | billkd, same problem with 12.10 | 15:21 |
| Hawkerz | eh, billkd, would you give me the same advice? can you promise it won't be, in point of fact, signing me up for an afternoon of recovery? | 15:22 |
| ferronica | Deathlire, yes | 15:22 |
| billkd | ferronica: When you installe did you check the "install nonfree software" box? | 15:22 |
| billkd | ferronica: I think that includes some wifi drivers | 15:22 |
| ferronica | billkd, yes i did | 15:22 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, any luck? | 15:22 |
| billkd | What is the manufacturer and model number of your wireless device? | 15:22 |
| Hawkerz | ferronica, more information about your system would be helpful -- sudo lshw -c net | 15:23 |
| Deathlire | I'm gonna take a guess and say this is an older belkin wifi stick? | 15:23 |
| ferronica | billkd, right now im using NDISWrapper and WLAN working fine for now if i reboot again it wont work | 15:23 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Testing things. Steam TF2 & Dwarfs F2P works great with primusrun. | 15:23 |
| Hawkerz | post the output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:23 |
| Hawkerz | sweet | 15:23 |
| Deathlire | ahh you need a script then to work on booting then | 15:23 |
| billkd | ferronica: Do you have to run a command or something to keep it working? Never used ndiswrapper so wouldn't know. | 15:23 |
| gustav_ | No flickering in Ho | 15:23 |
| Deathlire | that way you don't have to type it all back out | 15:23 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, I have not actually tried combining optirun with the new primus bridge thing | 15:23 |
| gustav_ | in HoN, yet. | 15:23 |
| Hawkerz | but i'm glad it works! | 15:24 |
| ferronica | billkd, just downloaded NDIS from Software center | 15:24 |
| Deathlire | I've used ndiswrapper plenty it worked well but i needed to have it cron'ed though | 15:24 |
| Hawkerz | ferronica, did you configure it from the command line or did you do it from a gui | 15:24 |
| Deathlire | brb i'll look up my old info for my driver..it should be almost the same for you | 15:24 |
| ferronica | if you know and want to check config take teamviewer | 15:24 |
| ferronica | Hawkerz, From GUI | 15:25 |

| Hawkerz | !!!!! | 15:25 |
| Deathlire | uhmm..how did you do anything with ndiswrapper from gui? ok... | 15:25 |
| ferronica | Hawkerz, take TeamViewer | 15:25 |
| Hawkerz | ferronica, no worries | 15:25 |
| Hawkerz | i'll find what you need | 15:25 |
| Hawkerz | Deathlire, there's some gui client, i could never figure it out | 15:25 |
| gustav_ | I don't think it's max, even. Because there is some pesky energy saving thing that's throttling the CPU. | 15:25 |
| Deathlire | holdon a sec..brb..i'll give you the info to keep it working from the way it is. | 15:25 |
| IvelfanFr | All my screen freeze when i launch firefox >.< | 15:26 |
| Deathlire | the gui client doesn't do it right is all i'm sayin from the wrapper | 15:26 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: I'm trying to change bridge... | 15:26 |
| Hawkerz | 203.466722 frames/sec - 227.068862 Mpixels/sec <- when I run it properly | 15:27 |

| === torpet is now known as torpet|away | ||
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: I thought primusrun was an option. It was not. | 15:28 |
| Hawkerz | ferronica, this might be helpful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76313/how-to-keep-ndiswrapper-configuration-after-reboot | 15:28 |
| Hawkerz | here, the correct syntax is apparently this: | 15:28 |
| Deathlire | hmm actually all i have are drivers for it..and a bunch of other things but not the text explaining how to do it anymore..and no the drivers aren't for your card..hmm | 15:28 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, hawk@hurin ~ » optirun -b primus glxspheres | 15:29 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Works. | 15:29 |
| Hawkerz | though when you are testing from a vte you should run it with vblank_mode=0 | 15:29 |
| gustav_ | vblank_mode can be set to default to 0, I think. | 15:30 |
| Deathlire | I went and bought a card that would run native with linux the good ol rt2500 or linksys wrt54gusb | 15:30 |
| gustav_ | TF 2 lags if it's not 0. | 15:30 |
| holmesc | hi | 15:30 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Thanks A LOT for helping me, though. I have had a hard time getting this to work, getting the thumb out of the behind so to speak. So thanks. | 15:31 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, trust me, having spent literally full days trying to get graphics working in the past, I am always happy to help if I can | 15:32 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: :) | 15:32 |
| Hawkerz | fortunately for you I have the same exact hardware configuration and literally just finished doing the same exact thing | 15:32 |
| gustav_ | Bumblebee is a new bag for me. | 15:32 |
| gustav_ | xD | 15:32 |
| Hawkerz | I was definitely unimpressed with primusrun as a replacement for optirun before but this configuration seems to do its job | 15:32 |
| Deathlire | gpu is a pain sometimes..spent many nights myself a bit back especially when they didn't have total support for my cards.. | 15:33 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: ...why? You just have to change the command, right? Firefox is the only thing I have configured (in WindowMaker) to launch with optirun. | 15:33 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, I think primusrun was not being switched properly or something...I tried to run firefox and my computer just overheated all the time | 15:35 |
| Hawkerz | and ran slow...but again, these things are so kind of arcane and mystical that who knows what the reason was | 15:35 |
| Hawkerz | anyway, as far as I'm concerned it's a miracle that this is the problem I have now...I had quite a struggle with a dell mini 10 and the GMA500/Poulsbo card | 15:36 |

| NachoPoncho | Hey, I've been trying to get a straight answer from Google to no avail, but does Ubuntu for Android effectively run all Ubuntu apps *without* docking? | 15:37 |
| Deathlire | Sorry, I can't help with mac/apple probs..never will use one eh | 15:38 |
| NachoPoncho | ^ | 15:38 |
| Deathlire | NachoPoncho depends on your cpu and ram really when it comes to android..what apps do you want to run..really? | 15:39 |
| NachoPoncho | I was wondering if ubuntu for android allowed mobile access to the repos for the respective architecture | 15:40 |
| NachoPoncho | For example, would I be able to use the ARM port of Gimp etc. without docking? | 15:40 |
| Deathlire | I'm sure it would, but I'd consider it being a bit slower on upgrading since it''s using the ARM arch | 15:40 |
| Hawkerz | Deathlire, I have a desktop -- several | 15:40 |
| whoami | any free VPS..? | 15:41 |
| NachoPoncho | I'm trying to decide if I want to wait for the Ubuntu phone or settle for and Android with Ubuntu running on it | 15:41 |
| Hawkerz | yes | 15:41 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Exactly. I just gave up. I tried asking the actual primus people and they just naaw, there's no problem. | 15:41 |
| Deathlire | why would ya use gimp persay on an android eh? | 15:41 |
| Hawkerz | whoami, you can have all the free VPS you want, you just need to supply the hardware and configure it with the free software the ubuntu community supplies you with | 15:41 |

| Hawkerz | seems to be what it's supposed to look like | 15:41 |
| whoami | ok thanks | 15:42 |
| Hawkerz | I guess the drivers have gotten that much better since 3.04...could be worth pursuing | 15:42 |
| NachoPoncho | The Gimp was just an example, but I currently have a Nokia N900 | 15:42 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: You have a bit too close to my performance for sanity. I have the top-of-the-line 680M. | 15:42 |
| Deathlire | the only real application for androids so far seems to be modding droids to use ubu running backtrack so far...with very limited support | 15:42 |
| NachoPoncho | I like it because of the amount of freedom I have to mess with my phone, although Nokia stopped supporting it | 15:43 |
| Hawkerz | sure, I can match you when I'm only running xchat and a web browser and neither of them on my nvidia card :p | 15:43 |
| Deathlire | the N900 is actually perfect for ubu..from what i've read | 15:43 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Sure hope so! :P | 15:43 |
| NachoPoncho | I figure it's time for a new phone, and I was looking into Ubuntu for phones, since I use Lubuntu on my laptop | 15:43 |
| NachoPoncho | The N900 only overclocks it's single core to around 1150 Mhz :c | 15:44 |

| Deathlire | they are great for say wardriving thats about it..not sure on actual uhmm say GiMP type stuff | 15:45 |
| NachoPoncho | EasyDebian runs nicely in chroot, though. And it can use Gimp/OpenOffice, so I bet Ubuntu touch could | 15:45 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Is that clock really true? 33 MHz? | 15:45 |
| jigal | hi i have running an ubuntu server on vps but have the error network is unreachable when i do ping 8.8.8.8 any idea's? | 15:45 |
| Hawkerz | no idea gustav | 15:45 |
| NachoPoncho | N900s? They're great for everything!! haha | 15:45 |
| Deathlire | well who in their right mind would want to use a paint prog on a small screen? :P | 15:46 |
| zimzum77 | wht happening, I'm looking for a bandwidth eq for my ubuntu and sugg. ?? | 15:46 |

| NachoPoncho | but there are some apps that I like that aren't usually available in standard repos. | 15:47 |

| levo | i got an irc server set up on my linux (localhost) - my friend wants to connect to my irc system wih ad-hoc wifi , and windows 7 os, how could it be done? | 15:48 |
| NachoPoncho | Yeah. I just mean: Android may have Angry birds, and apps for Pandora | 15:48 |
| NachoPoncho | but does it have wireshark, nmap, gnu userland, etc? | 15:48 |
| Deathlire | levo..read up on UnrealIRCd if your going to use or host one..since your probably using that. | 15:48 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, well, the kernel only talks so much to the nvidia card I guess... | 15:48 |
| NachoPoncho | I guess I just like using familiar apps. | 15:48 |
| Deathlire | yes shark is there..not much of a screen to output to though | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | levo, why doesn't he just connect to your wireless network | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | levo, that would be much more straightforward than trying to establish an ad-hoc network just to talk to the person sitting next to you | 15:49 |
| levo | we want to chat | 15:49 |
| levo | without internet access | 15:49 |
| Hawkerz | did you consider having an actual conversation? | 15:49 |
| Deathlire | lol | 15:50 |
| levo | Hawkerz: we are not in the same floor | 15:50 |
| jigal | hi i have running an ubuntu server on vps but have the error network is unreachable when i do ping 8.8.8.8 any idea's? How should i configure my network connection? | 15:50 |
| Deathlire | best thing i've heard in awhile.. | 15:50 |
| levo | we need to be in contact | 15:50 |
| Deathlire | run a cable levo | 15:50 |
| Hawkerz | levo, but you are close enough to form an ad-hoc network? | 15:50 |
| Hawkerz | is your friend a romantic interest? | 15:50 |
| levo | is it supposed to be a therapy support channel? | 15:50 |
| Deathlire | hey now i've seen ad-hocs that run over a mile or two..so eh..not sure what ya talkin :P | 15:51 |
| Hawkerz | no, but if you're doing it for romance I'm way more interested in helping | 15:51 |
| levo | can't you just answer? | 15:51 |
| Hawkerz | IRC I am quite proficient at, but ad-hoc networking i have no experience with, so I'd have to read about it to help you | 15:51 |
| Hawkerz | so you see the math... | 15:51 |
| levo | what i'm trying to do is making an irc server in a library for answerning readers question without making noise. capipsh? | 15:52 |
| Hawkerz | not really, since that doesn't demand ad-hoc networking | 15:52 |
| Deathlire | sounds like you are telling us a lie..but also you can do this but are you using a computer..or a phone..? | 15:52 |
| levo | so there's no place for wiring. | 15:52 |
| levo | damn | 15:52 |
| levo | i'm on my laptop, ubuntu precise | 15:53 |
| Hawkerz | in fact I'm pretty sure an ad-hoc network would be counterproductive to the goal of fielding a bunch of inquiries | 15:53 |
| Hawkerz | why did you decide to go with irc anyway? | 15:53 |
| levo | it allows multiple connections for chatters | 15:53 |
| Deathlire | sounds like they want a fake network to be wirelessly transmitted to get incoming data and sent back..to me | 15:53 |
| Deathlire | ad-hoc is only one connection..or am I just presuming to much? | 15:54 |
| levo | do you have any better idea? me: ubuntu , guy: windows 7. we want to chat in library. distance: 3 to 20 meters. | 15:54 |

| Hawkerz | in a library? really? | 15:55 |

| wtfman | use a lan chat app | 15:55 |
| levo | Deathlire: where are you from? | 15:55 |
| Deathlire | wine it on nix..other person can use windows version | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | but yeah, IRC is massively overkill for this | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | I've been on small IRC servers but never ones consisting of just 2 people | 15:56 |
| levo | Hawkerz: how? | 15:56 |
| Deathlire | i'm from SC..that enough for ya? | 15:56 |
| Hawkerz | levo, all the IRC servers I know of are designed to manage thousands of simultaneous connections, they are very complex pieces of software | 15:57 |
| levo | Hawkerz: i installed irc-hybrid server. | 15:57 |
| billkd | how about netcat? | 15:57 |
| Hawkerz | sure, I'm not saying it won't work -- though I don't really see what the trouble is then if the server is running and you got the ad hoc stuff down | 15:58 |
| Deathlire | and some reason i have 10 of those servers..dedicated since about 2000 to the same 10 ppl..keep trying to increase ppl but never works for some reason..plus i never cared if it did | 15:58 |
| levo | what's the maximum distance ad-hoc can support? | 15:58 |
| Hawkerz | depends on the strength of your respective wireless cards | 15:58 |
| Deathlire | uhmm about well depends on your antenna gain really..well mostly | 15:59 |
| Hawkerz | if one of you is running ubuntu you probably want to disable laptop mode and all that | 15:59 |
| ioria | netcat is good, also linpopup, but you have to compile it | 15:59 |
| wtfman | what is laptop mode ? | 15:59 |
| Deathlire | even my android gets a signal out over ad-hoc about 40 feet | 15:59 |
| Hawkerz | or, more specifically, don't let your wireless card fall into powersave mode | 15:59 |
| levo | so what the windows guy should do to connect to my irc server? | 15:59 |
| levo | (ad-hoc wifi0 | 16:00 |
| Hawkerz | get an irc client and type in whatevery ou type in to address the other party in an ad hoc network | 16:00 |
| Deathlire | run say xchat2..or mirc and connect to it | 16:00 |

| levo | i enter 127.0.0.1 | 16:00 |
| levo | but what he should enter for the server/ | 16:00 |
| levo | ? | 16:00 |
| Deathlire | run mirc.. then /server localhost 6667 | 16:00 |
| ioria | levo: your IP | 16:00 |
| Hawkerz | oh, levo, seems like you can assign yourself an IP | 16:01 |
| Deathlire | also depends if he has the right listening ip in the conf which i doubt is. | 16:01 |
| Hawkerz | if you're in ubuntu though you can just ifconfig and find it out at the time | 16:01 |
| === Besatnias is now known as PutridGore | ||

| === PutridGore is now known as Besatnias_ | ||
| Deathlire | whatismyip.org | 16:01 |
| wtfman | if he is not connected * | 16:02 |
| Hawkerz | well if you have an established network connection, levo, you can go to a terminal and run 'ifconfig' | 16:02 |
| Deathlire | or ifconfig | 16:02 |
| Deathlire | works wonders | 16:02 |
| ioria | levo: your IP does not related to Internet | 16:02 |
| === Besatnias_ is now known as Besatnias | ||
| Hawkerz | no idea, maybe you can make an ad-hoc loopback network for testing purposes | 16:02 |
| ioria | levo: your IP it's not related to Internet | 16:02 |
| Loki_ | What is the command to access the kubuntu via terminal? startx? | 16:02 |
| Hawkerz | alternatively you can assign yourself a static ip | 16:02 |
| Hawkerz | ^ recommended | 16:02 |
| Deathlire | most likely if they don't have net for some reason..it's probably going to block you on port 6667..so use port 5900 as a listening port | 16:02 |
| Hawkerz | and make sure you use that as the bind address of the irc server | 16:02 |
| Hawkerz | Deathlire, ad hoc network | 16:03 |
| Hawkerz | no rules | 16:03 |
| juvani | Loki_: startkde | 16:03 |
| wtfman | Guys, does anyone knows how to tunnel IPv6 traffic using IPv4 network ? | 16:03 |
| Loki_ | juvani: Thank you. | 16:03 |
| Deathlire | ad-hoc directly binds so it should be a simple task..how the hell ya even binding ad-hoc really or even why is my real question | 16:03 |
| Hawkerz | well, I can think of lots of reasons, and the air of mysteriousness made me want to help | 16:04 |
| Loki_ | juvani: Can I choose between environments too? For example: startgnome | 16:04 |
| Hawkerz | Loki_, yes, nobody is forcing you to start kde | 16:04 |
| Hawkerz | Loki_, it helps if you have gnome installed as well as kde though if you want to run it | 16:04 |
| levo | Deathlire, Hawkerz: ioria: so this is what should we do (correct if i'm wrong): i create an ad-hoc , windows guy connects to it. he runs hexchat and enters: /server x.x.x.x which is my IP. then every thing goes well. right? | 16:04 |

| Loki_ | Hawkerz: So the command is the right: startgnome -- startkde | 16:04 |
| zimzum77 | how does one copy and paste a command line in terminl, I try with mouse but no luck | 16:05 |
| Deathlire | yeah its got my mind going nuts..on why someone and how someone can make an ad-hoc network that well they want to talk over and they can't..itshould be easy | 16:05 |
| levo | any firefall thing may happen? | 16:05 |
| Hawkerz | levo, do you have a firewall running? | 16:05 |
| Deathlire | ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste | 16:05 |
| Loki_ | got it. | 16:05 |
| levo | Hawkerz: idk | 16:05 |
| ioria | levo: Let's give it a try | 16:05 |
| Hawkerz | zimzum77, are you in an actual console, or in a windowed emulator? | 16:05 |
| zimzum77 | Hawkerz, xterm | 16:06 |
| Hawkerz | can't you just highlight with the mouse? | 16:06 |
| Deathlire | ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste | 16:06 |
| ioria | levo: but in my advice it's better a messanger client | 16:06 |
| gustav_ | Now, if only the Steam client would stop being so sucky... | 16:06 |
| levo | ioria: what? | 16:07 |
| gustav_ | Can't even drag the window. | 16:07 |
| zimzum77 | i can highlight but no copy pasta | 16:07 |
| ioria | levo: it's like the sms on your phone | 16:07 |
| Hawkerz | zimzum77, you should use a different VTE | 16:07 |
| Hawkerz | zimzum77, I suggest gnome-terminal | 16:07 |
| Hawkerz | or whatever the KDE one is | 16:07 |
| zimzum77 | but i'll try cntr option | 16:07 |
| Deathlire | use a Vicks :P | 16:07 |
| Hawkerz | it doesn't work, zimzum77 | 16:07 |
| zimzum77 | gnome term eh?/ | 16:08 |
| Deathlire | ./gnome-terminal | 16:08 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, i'm not entirely sure about the complexities involved in the process of modeswitching | 16:08 |
| Hawkerz | it's probably worth hanging around their irc channel actually...they're on here right? | 16:08 |
| levo | Deathlire: isn't possible to more than one laptop connects to my wi-wi connection? | 16:09 |
| Deathlire | no, you can only have One connection per ad-hoc mode | 16:09 |
| levo | isn't any other connection type that supports multi connections? | 16:10 |
| Deathlire | sounds like you need to just have them connect to whatever you are connecting to, and then finding out your private ip's then cnnect to each other over irc | 16:10 |
| levo | Deathlire: i didn't get what you mean | 16:11 |
| Hawkerz | theoretically it makes no sense that you should be limited to one connection | 16:11 |
| Deathlire | it requires walking to the other people and telling them your ip and how to connect to you..like say example: /server 192.168.1.42 6667 | 16:11 |
| Hawkerz | but I really don't actually know much about it because I have never attempted to establish an ad-hoc network | 16:12 |
| levo | so it's not impossible for others to connect to my local irc server via wireless | 16:12 |
| Deathlire | well ad-hoc is just one connection to just one other computer..thats why it's called what it is :P | 16:12 |
| Deathlire | no as long as they are connected to the same network..or ssid your on | 16:13 |
| bizhanMona | HI all, I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my system for the first time. Then I typed "sudo apt-get update" and I got the following errors: pastebin.com/T3NffkT4 any idea please? thanks | 16:13 |
| levo | Deathlire: you mean it's possible, right? (cause i said : so it's not IMpossible for others ) | 16:14 |
| Deathlire | yes brb | 16:14 |
| jirido | 3;3~ | 16:15 |
| Deathlire | just have everyone connect to the same wifi you are connecting to..if you have one right? | 16:17 |
| stercor | I have a bunch of 3.5", 1.44Mb discs. There are disk drives aplenty. My question is whether Ubuntu supports them (drivers) | 16:17 |
| Hawkerz | yep | 16:17 |
| Deathlire | ahh yes unfortunately they actually do :P | 16:17 |
| Hawkerz | I just finished installing a fresh copy of msdos 6.22 from original floppy images | 16:17 |
| Deathlire | and they are disks :P | 16:17 |
| levo | Deathlire: yes, my laptop is the other connecting to | 16:17 |
| Hawkerz | stercor, remember, imz = img zipped, you can literally just unzip it | 16:18 |
| stercor | ? | 16:18 |
| Besatnias | Hello, chatters. | 16:19 |
| Deathlire | if its only your computer and there is no wifi to connect to, then you will unfortunately have to just do ad-hoc without a router. which means only one person can connect | 16:19 |
| stercor | Where would the .imz file be and how would it be named? | 16:19 |
| _cronus_ | Deathlire, iirc you can connect multiple computers on an ad-hoc network | 16:19 |
| Besatnias | do you know of a tool to find appropriate drivers for my computer? | 16:19 |
| levo | _cronus_: really? | 16:20 |
| Deathlire | and once you open up a terminal..which if you have already figured out a way to ad-hoc it means you have knowledge of how to install and run dhcp2-server and it's conf's..so i'm beyond your help | 16:20 |
| Deathlire | multiple if wired _cronus_ | 16:21 |
| Deathlire | and also depends on the chipset of the wifi in question | 16:21 |
| david__ | hello | 16:21 |
| levo | brb | 16:22 |
| levo | wanna test irc win connect | 16:22 |
| david__ | I need your help on LVM. I reduced a logical device without the flag -r, so the filesystem has not been shrinked. How can I fix this ? | 16:22 |
| afflicto-laptop | Does anyone know of an app suitable for pixel art? | 16:22 |
| _cronus_ | Deathlire, that's strange. i remember i used it before i got my asus portable ap | 16:22 |
| Deathlire | pixel or ansi/ascii? | 16:23 |
| bizhanMona | HI all, I have installed ubuntu 12.04 on my system for the first time. Then I typed "sudo apt-get update" and I got the following errors: pastebin.com/T3NffkT4 any idea please? thanks | 16:23 |
| stercor | What I'd like to hear is: "That's a dumb question. Of course they are. Have been for years." | 16:23 |
| Deathlire | what kind of wifi repeater chip did it have _cronus_ ? :P | 16:23 |
| _cronus_ | Deathlire, can't remember it used atheros driver for sure | 16:24 |
| Deathlire | ahh atheros..one of the best tools in my profession haha | 16:24 |
| Kryil | hey guys. I could need some help with xrandr. It seems that I'm to dumb to use --rmmode to delete wrong modes, as I can't find the names (xrandr only lists the modes, but not their names). Could someone give me a quick hint where to find them? | 16:26 |
| antonius | I need to access a HFS+ drive, but am having troubles with permissions. I even changed my uid. Whats the best solution for this? I have nearly 2 terabytes of data, and need to at least read hfs+ | 16:27 |
| Hawkerz | Kryil, why do you need to delete modes? | 16:27 |
| Deathlire | sudo is your friend | 16:27 |
| Hawkerz | antonius, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1660958 | 16:28 |
| Kryil | Hawkerz: I'm using a DVI->VGA adapter. My machine is unable to detect the proper resolution of my monitor now. | 16:28 |
| Hawkerz | Kryil, you still shouldn't need to delete modes | 16:28 |
| petester | are there any reports of the latest security update breaking people's wifi? | 16:28 |
| Deathlire | set it manually in the xorg conf eh | 16:28 |
| petester | i'm on a macbook pro 5,5 and I've reinstalled twice with the same bug | 16:28 |
| Hawkerz | petester, are you installing in bootcamp? virtual machine? what | 16:29 |
| Deathlire | i broke your wifi..i am here..i am quiet..i am your vengeance :P | 16:29 |
| levo | Deathlire: i entered my ad-hoc ip in /server x.x.x.x result: connection refused | 16:29 |
| petester | hawkerz I wiped the laptop and I'm doing single-boot ubuntu | 16:30 |
| levo | Deathlire: and windows guy couldn't even connect to the ad-hoc network! | 16:30 |
| Deathlire | levo if your using say xchat since your nix.. try /connect xxxx 6667 | 16:30 |
| Hawkerz | levo, you need to edit the configuration file for hybridircd and set the bind host to your ip address | 16:30 |
| Kryil | Hawkerz: It seems that after graphic driver updates I always run into the issue of getting the wrong resolution (something, my monitor can't display). In addition, although only the proper resolution is in xorg.conf, even the wrong ones are listet (and somehow are used after resuming the machine) | 16:30 |
| Hawkerz | petester, you are the first person I've heard that from | 16:30 |
| m2k | hello everyone | 16:31 |
| Hawkerz | petester, http://paste.ubuntu.com -- hmmm are you on ubuntu now? | 16:31 |
| Hawkerz | if so, please share the output from sudo lshw -c net | 16:31 |
| petester | Hawkerz yes, I plugged into the ethernet | 16:31 |
| Deathlire | do the editing on conf..bind to your ip addy which is probably 192.168.x.x or 10.10.x.x and then rehash the server | 16:31 |
| m2k | guys i have a problem | 16:32 |
| === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st | ||
| Hawkerz | prolly need to restart it actually, sudo service hybrid-ircd restart (where hybrid-ircd is whatever it's really called) | 16:32 |
| levo | Hawkerz: what about the user = "*@127.0.0.1" ? should it be change so? | 16:32 |
| Hawkerz | Kryil, I have had the same problem as you, let me see if I still have the script I was using | 16:32 |
| Deathlire | well yeah i'm not familiar with hybrid i don't use it..i use unreal..which is an easy ./unreal rehash | 16:33 |
| Hawkerz | levo, user="*@*" | 16:33 |
| m2k | when ever i tri to boot up i get a red splash screen however if i boot up using recovery mode and then resume system it works... anyway know why this is? | 16:33 |
| Hawkerz | I've never used hybrid either but I can't imagine it's too difficult | 16:33 |
| Kryil | Hawkerz, thanks. Did your problem include wrong resolutions after logging back in (not logged of, just a locked screen)? | 16:33 |
| Deathlire | user = "*" | 16:34 |
| Hawkerz | m2k: without logs it will be very hard to diagnose -- the output of dmesg would be a good place to start | 16:34 |
| petester | Hawkerz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602378/ | 16:34 |
| Kryil | Apart from that, I should simply buy a DVI cable for the future ~.~ | 16:34 |
| Hawkerz | Kryil, depending on your hardware, it may not actually solve the problem :p | 16:35 |
| petester | Hawkerz, also I don't know if this is relevant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602383/ | 16:35 |
| Hawkerz | petester, did you install the broadcom drivers ? | 16:35 |
| Deathlire | my system actually uses dvi's.. 2 of them actually..and i have them both adapted to hdmi..which kills color output..but seems ok | 16:35 |
| petester | Hawkerz yes. Software Sources says that I'm using the proprietary ones right now. | 16:36 |
| Kryil | Hawkerz: With my old graphics card this never happened. The monitor sent the correct resolutions. My new one has no VGA output and uses the adapter. That's why I thought that's the issue | 16:36 |
| === bunny is now known as Guest11559 | ||
| m2k | Hawkerz where can i find the logs? all i can really do is take a video nothing else it wont even get to the login screen | 16:36 |
| Hawkerz | hmmk | 16:37 |
| === King is now known as Guest98770 | ||
| Hawkerz | in reverse order, m2k: the logs should still be saved to the disk (/var/log/dmesg.1 will be the dmesg from the previous boot, for instance) | 16:37 |
| Hawkerz | Kryil, older grahpics cards are better at communicating EDID over vga than newer cards | 16:38 |
| Hawkerz | and petester, I'm going to need a second to figure yours out | 16:38 |
| petester | Hawkerz ok, thanks. You should set up a paypal so people can tip you for your efforts! | 16:38 |
| Hawkerz | petester, I just don't like people struggling with something that can be fixed pretty easily | 16:41 |
| Hawkerz | having done a lot of that myself | 16:41 |

| Deathlire | and the countless ppl who say bye to linux when they just can't get graphics to work right or something to compile like it should...killing them from using it.. | 16:44 |
| ghost_ | how every one | 16:44 |
| Guest69730 | what do you think is a better vpn securityvpn or express vpn? does anyone know? | 16:44 |
| petester | Hawkerz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602417/ | 16:45 |
| Deathlire | probably security..express is usually a term for newbs | 16:45 |
| SolarisBoy | never heard of either | 16:45 |
| Hawkerz | petester, also, apparently you need to blacklist 'b43' and 'ssb': http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784460&p=10948641#post10948641 | 16:45 |
| SolarisBoy | openvpn vpnc and they have that open-connect client | 16:46 |
| chaox | hey | 16:46 |
| chaox | is chromium-dev completely broken or usable? | 16:46 |
| Deathlire | depends on how they market the vpn..i guess | 16:46 |
| Hawkerz | i expect it is usable chaox or they wouldn't distribute it | 16:47 |
| Guest69730 | i live in china and i need to crack out of the firewall | 16:47 |
| Hawkerz | well, chromium-dev is more likely to be development headers than a usable web browser | 16:47 |
| Deathlire | why would it be broken? it sure isn't going to be the best bug free thing..but dev is sometimes ok if you want the latest | 16:47 |
| Guest69730 | i was here earlier, i thought i may need to just buy a vpn service | 16:47 |
| jigal | getting this error when logging in to my ubuntu server: ubable to cd to /home/jigal | 16:47 |
| Deathlire | then change your dns..if you want to kill a firewall | 16:48 |
| SolarisBoy | or tunnel your traffic over ssh... | 16:48 |
| SolarisBoy | not sure what changing dns would do to kill a f/w btw | 16:48 |
| Deathlire | that works to..but vpn's are nice to have if they are legit | 16:48 |
| ferronica | billkd, you moron | 16:48 |
| Hawkerz | petester, hopefully this is the last question I have -- cat /etc/modules | 16:49 |
| ferronica | who is admin here | 16:49 |
| mhills | quit | 16:49 |
| ikonia | ferronica: what's up ? | 16:49 |
| Deathlire | most fwalls in china or actually isp's use a dns thats filtered which kills most of the net is all | 16:49 |
| SolarisBoy | and if your going for bypassing by encrypting your traff - why not do it for free? | 16:49 |
| ferronica | Ban billkd | 16:49 |
| ikonia | ferronica: please don't call people morons | 16:49 |
| Guest69730 | how do you do those things? free would be better i guess if there's another option | 16:49 |
| ferronica | ikonia hi | 16:49 |
| SolarisBoy | Deathlire: ahh i see | 16:50 |
| ferronica | ikonia u want to now reason | 16:50 |
| ferronica | ikonia, Know* | 16:50 |
| ikonia | ferronica: if you have a problem, please join #ubuntu-ops and we can resolve it | 16:50 |

| chaox | Guest69730: whats the problem with you being in china? | 16:50 |
| chaox | cant access something? | 16:50 |
| petester | Hawkerz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602429/ | 16:50 |

| ferronica | ikonia, he hacked my system and created Batch file to auto kill Xchat | 16:51 |
| Hawkerz | petester, sudo echo "wl" >> /etc/modules | 16:51 |
| SolarisBoy | batch file? | 16:51 |
| Hawkerz | petester, also, modprobe wl | 16:51 |
| ikonia | ferronica: please do what I told you | 16:51 |
| Hawkerz | er, sudo modprobe wl | 16:51 |
| Deathlire | quite a few problems can be killed by using googles dns..but if it's something else then well..i may can help you :) | 16:51 |
| ferronica | ikonia, he insisted me to install ssh | 16:51 |
| petester | Hawkerz I get permission denied when I try to do those blacklist things | 16:51 |
| llutz | Hawkerz: sudo echo >> doesn't work, use "echo foo |sudo tee -a bar" | 16:52 |
| ikonia | ferronica: final time - join #ubuntu-ops if you have a problem | 16:52 |
| Hawkerz | right, sorry | 16:52 |
| Guest69730 | this great chinese firewall is killing me; no facebook zynga poker, no porn, no youtube and no pbs or bbc online videos | 16:52 |
| Hawkerz | petester, do what llutz said | 16:52 |
| Deathlire | if somebody told you to instal ssh when it was already installed..hmm..also you shouldn't give out root and passes | 16:52 |

| ssvss | Hi, I would like to run the following cmd at startup "sudo apt-get install irssi | 16:53 |

| Hawkerz | ssvss, are you sure you need to install it every time yo uboot up? | 16:53 |
| petester | so just replace >> with | | 16:53 |
| ssvss | sorry ignore the above line, incorrect cmd | 16:53 |
| billkd | ssvss: why do you want to install a package every time your machine boots? | 16:53 |
| Guest69730 | yea! | 16:53 |
| Hawkerz | petester, i'll just give you a single line to execute | 16:53 |
| Sjajne_Niti | ssvss, :D | 16:53 |
| petester | nvm i got it | 16:53 |
| Hawkerz | one second | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | if it's the first than wouldn't getting around it for all of china be as easy as Deathlire mentioned? | 16:53 |
| Hawkerz | oh | 16:53 |
| Hawkerz | fantastic | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | or would they get like caned or something for that? | 16:53 |
| boba88 | hi | 16:54 |
| Deathlire | SolarisBoy : they actually have a dropper on the dns comps just for that reason | 16:54 |
| SolarisBoy | sheesh | 16:54 |
| boba88 | i moved from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 11.10 for the devolopment of one program | 16:54 |
| Hawkerz | petester: after that, check the output of lsmod for either 'b43' or 'ssb' -- if either one is present then 'sudo modprobe -r xxx' | 16:54 |
| petester | Hawkerz actually the text scrolled too far and I'm not an irssi expert, could you copy paste the echo foo | sudo .... | 16:54 |
| boba88 | i have trouble linkking agains glew | 16:54 |
| boba88 | against* | 16:54 |
| Deathlire | alot of isp's even america have it..ya just don't see it..but alot of it is getting thrown out when torrents are abound..around the us anyways | 16:55 |
| Hawkerz | petester, echo wl | sudo tee -a /etc/modules | 16:55 |
| boba88 | did something crucial change when Ubuntu introduced unity? Why I am able to compile and link on Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit and not on Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit? | 16:56 |
| SolarisBoy | oh im sure but - heh yea i guess cause he still didn't mention what he site was going to.. coulda been pr0n | 16:56 |
| ssvss | I woule like to run this cmd at startup "echo 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity". I can't run this as sudo. so I have to do a "sudo su" before running this cmd. including this is /etc/rc.local, after a "sudo su" doesn't work. | 16:56 |
| Hawkerz | boba88, compile and link what? | 16:56 |
| ikonia | billkd: could you check your private messages please. | 16:56 |
| boba88 | Hawkerz: a program that uses freeglut, GLU and glew | 16:56 |
| Deathlire | boba88 you might want to "make clean" before ya compile from 32 to 64 bit | 16:57 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: i did that | 16:57 |
| llutz | ssvss: you don't need to use sudo in rc.local, commands from there are run as root | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | ssvss: rc.local is going to run as the root user - | 16:57 |
| petester | Hawkerz I'm gonna reboot, be back in a minute. | 16:57 |
| Hawkerz | but yes, the entire windowing system is quite different as far as I know | 16:57 |

| Hawkerz | boba88, what's the nature of your errors? | 16:58 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: the thing is the libraries are found but the defintions within them are not! | 16:58 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, probably, but i need a minute | 16:59 |
| boba88 | Hawkerz: undefined reference to `__glewDeleteFramebuffersEXT' | 16:59 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, I've got plenty of time :) | 16:59 |
| ssvss | I tried adding the command without sudo in rc.local, but the file wasn't updated after a reboot. any idea what I might be doing wrong. | 16:59 |
| Deathlire | Thats one thing i probably can't help you with..I'm not the best on compilers or modes for them | 16:59 |
| zyngawow | I installed ATI's drivers, it was laggy, went to software sources and enabled propietary drivers from there... still laggy | 16:59 |
| Deathlire | ohh ya got undefined refs..hmm | 16:59 |
| Deathlire | are they symlinked? | 17:00 |
| Guest69730 | can someone like hack into the chinese government and take down the firewall for a while so i can check my facebook account and watch epic fail compilations on youtube | 17:00 |
| Guest69730 | joking | 17:01 |
| petester | Hawkerz, still no wifi :/ | 17:01 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: i think not | 17:01 |
| petester | blacklisting didn't work | 17:01 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: the libs are at /usr/local/lib | 17:02 |
| zimzum77 | so can i get rid of, xterm, uxterm when i have just terminal | 17:02 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: for example the libglew.so | 17:02 |
| Deathlire | Guest69730: reroute your dns to say 8.8.8.8 and if it doesn't work let us know | 17:02 |
| petester | however software sources seems to be showing new hardware that wasn't there before | 17:03 |
| Deathlire | boba88 i'm not sure exactly but have you tried to apt-get update *glew* | 17:03 |
| zyngawow | My Ubuntu is laggy with moving windows around, video playback seems fine, I tried launching MineCraft and it just didnt work. | 17:03 |
| Genrawir | zyngawow: Have you installed the video drivers? | 17:04 |
| Hawkerz | petester, lsmod | grep wl | 17:04 |

| Deathlire | your in china and can't read chinese? hehe well try to google what the router pages say? | 17:06 |
| petester | Hawkerz, that command returns blank | 17:06 |
| you-tee-f | my bad | 17:06 |
| Hawkerz | petester, sudo modprobe wl | 17:06 |
| Deathlire | ansi-540 | 17:06 |
| zyngawow | Genrawir, yes, I went to ATI's website and downloaded latest driver and installed it. | 17:06 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, that was a biiiiiig mistake | 17:06 |
| babs | sasc | 17:06 |
| zyngawow | Is it= | 17:06 |
| Guest69730 | :) yea...i should get on the learning how to read it. i'll try the google translate | 17:06 |
| === sascha is now known as Guest48048 | ||
| Skire | with the new 13.1 proprietary legacy ati drivers, are the opensource drivers still the way to go for 2D performance? | 17:07 |
| petester | Hawkerz, FATAL: Module wl not found | 17:07 |
| Hawkerz | yes, zyngawow, run this command and paste it in http://paste.ubuntu.com -- sudo lshw -c display | 17:07 |
| zyngawow | What was Ubuntu's shortcut for terminal? | 17:07 |
| Skire | ctrl alt T | 17:07 |
| boba88 | alt F2 | 17:08 |
| kurteknikk | Hi, anybody knows of any issue with logrotate and mysql ? My issue is that the the user exists and it has the correct password but i still get: error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log ' run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1 | 17:08 |
| boba88 | then type gnome-terminal | 17:08 |
| boba88 | :) | 17:08 |
| Deathlire | actually Guest69730 : maybe you should try just translating dns and then try to figure out where it is..probably is 4 lines..might be 2..for ip's | 17:08 |
| Genrawir | zyngawow: You might need the 'Official' Oracle Java for Minecraft, but unfortunately I run NVidia, so I'm not too versed with ATI. | 17:08 |
| boba88 | longer than ctrl alt t | 17:08 |
| babs | how does the xchat works | 17:08 |
| zyngawow | Genrawir, no, I had MineCraft running on OpenJDK before | 17:08 |
| zyngawow | Genrawir, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602478/ | 17:08 |
| zyngawow | Nice, 33mhz | 17:09 |
| IvelfanFr | Hello every | 17:09 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: the update did not help | 17:09 |
| IvelfanFr | I have a problem, someone can help me ? | 17:09 |
| Genrawir | zyngawow: Ok, that seems right, because I'm using OpenJDK again (it was broken for a bit some time ago). | 17:10 |
| Deathlire | so it did update though boba88 ? | 17:10 |
| IdleOne | IvelfanFr: depends what the problem is, ask your question and if someone can help they will. | 17:10 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: i did sudo apt-get update | 17:10 |
| Genrawir | zyngawow: In that case I would look to install the video drivers through Ubuntu instead of from the ATI website. | 17:10 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: "sudo logrotate -dv -f /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server" any useful info? | 17:10 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602478/ | 17:10 |
| zyngawow | Genrawir, I tried that too... maybe I messed everything up doing that | 17:10 |
| IvelfanFr | IdleOne: Okay | 17:10 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: you cannot do sudo apt-get update *glew* | 17:10 |
| boba88 | but rather update the everything | 17:11 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, lsmod | grep video | 17:11 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, let me check... | 17:11 |
| Deathlire | all i can say is try another make clean which ya probably did..or wait on one of these fellas to help ya..least i tried | 17:11 |
| Deathlire | meant upgrade sorry | 17:11 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, nothing | 17:11 |
| Hawkerz | but yeah, ultimately zyngawow -- the stuff I need to see is: dpkg -l | grep -i ati | 17:11 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, the output of that is too long | 17:12 |
| Guest69730 | here we go i've found my primary dns server; would that be it? | 17:12 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, it fills the console up | 17:12 |
| IvelfanFr | I have install Ubuntu 12.04 on my new computer. Ubuntu boot and login works but when I'm on the desktop and I launch one software, I have a big freeze of component. My mouse works on the soft (for example, Change channel on IRC) but when I clic on Cross to close soft nothing happend. | 17:12 |
| Deathlire | Guest69730: Yes, that would be it and Secondary as well.. use first as 8.8.8.8 and second as 8.8.4.4 | 17:13 |
| boba88 | Deathlire: now i do an upgrage 742 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded. | 17:13 |
| IvelfanFr | The left side works with my mouse but not the top side. | 17:13 |
| IvelfanFr | I try to change USB Port of my Mouse but nothing happend, I try to change my mouse, same thing. | 17:14 |
| Hawkerz | petester, sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 17:14 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, interesting i see this at the end of the output: removing old log /var/log/mysql.log.8.gz | 17:14 |
| kurteknikk | error: error opening /var/log/mysql.log.8.gz: No such file or directory | 17:14 |
| Hawkerz | proprietary ATI drivers are still called fglrx? | 17:14 |
| zyngawow | they are | 17:15 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, what version of ubuntu are you on | 17:15 |
| zyngawow | 12.10 | 17:15 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: but " /var/log/mysql.log.8.gz" exists? | 17:15 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, strange because earlier i see: renaming /var/log/mysql.log.7.gz to /var/log/mysql.log.8.gz (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 7), | 17:15 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, here is your article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124292/what-is-the-correct-way-to-install-ati-catalyst-video-drivers-fglrx/129200#129200 | 17:15 |
| petester | Hawkerz, The options in Software Sources changed, but still no wifi. Should I reboot again? | 17:16 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602501/ | 17:16 |
| Hawkerz | petester, try sudo modprobe wl | 17:16 |
| Hawkerz | :p | 17:16 |
| petester | still not found | 17:17 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, sh: 0: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh huh | 17:17 |
| Hawkerz | reboot for the moment | 17:17 |
| zyngawow | Is it installed lol? | 17:17 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, yeah, hang on, I was about to stop you | 17:17 |
| oal | I just reinstalled ubuntu, an I have two monitors. Now, when it's in power save mode, and I reactivate it again, the second monitor takes very long to turn on again. It used to be pretty much instantanious. Any ideas? | 17:17 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: but " /var/log/mysql.log.8.gz" exists? | 17:17 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, strange but apparently mysq.log.8.gz doesn't exist and not even mysql.log.8.gz | 17:17 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, *mysql.log.7.gz (whilst i saw that files were renamed so they should exist... | 17:18 |
| k1lled | hi all, someone from here talk bulgarian? my english is band, i want to ask something.... | 17:18 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, I'm going to give you a customized set of instructions | 17:18 |
| k1lled | english is bad * | 17:18 |
| Hawkerz | just give me a moment | 17:18 |
| IvelfanFr | How can I recover my root password, I forget it ... | 17:19 |
| IvelfanFr | ? | 17:19 |
| Deathlire | i only know dovijdane | 17:19 |
| xangua | IvelfanFr: you shouldn't even had root password enabled | 17:19 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, no it doesn't exist | 17:19 |
| k1lled | Deathlire haha :) | 17:19 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, perfect :) | 17:19 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: "getent passwd mysql" uid=108 i assume | 17:19 |
| reape737 | hello | 17:19 |
| k1lled | Deathlire you know what mean dovijdane? | 17:19 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, I did the second step on there to because I did && | 17:20 |
| Hawkerz | if the first step failed then the second step also failed | 17:20 |
| Guest69730 | hey guys i tried it but still no youtube etc | 17:20 |
| IvelfanFr | xangua: I don't understand. | 17:20 |
| andrew123 | hello | 17:20 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, yes, uid=108 | 17:20 |
| Deathlire | yes, means good bye as my bulgarian friend taught me | 17:20 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, the other files exist from 1-6 but 7 and 8 don't exist | 17:21 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, it didnt | 17:21 |
| Guest69730 | Deathline you have a bulgarian friend? | 17:21 |
| andrew123 | I just installed google-chrome, but it can only be run from terminal. When I run it and Lock it to Launcher it cannot be run (does some animation and thats it) - any advice please? | 17:21 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: "df -h /var/log" | 17:21 |
| k1lled | Deathlire how is his nickname ? | 17:21 |
| Deathlire | yeah kinda my bulgarian gal somewhat. but isn't | 17:21 |
| ioria | IvelfanFr: get the User's Ubuntu Manual and scroll to TroubleShooting, you'll find the solution | 17:22 |
| k1lled | Deathlire you undarstand from ubuntu ? | 17:22 |
| Deathlire | ja | 17:22 |
| DoctorTruth | anyone know how to fix choppy graphics and speeds in video games on xubuntu 12.04 | 17:22 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, /dev/sda7 907G 434G 428G 51% / | 17:22 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, there is space available... | 17:23 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, could you please PM me the instructions when you have them? | 17:23 |
| Capprentice | FloodBot1, hello ;) | 17:23 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, sure thing almost done | 17:23 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, are you using unity? | 17:23 |
| reaper_ | you need to reinstall the drivers for graphics card | 17:23 |
| Guest69730 | what is DNS anyway? | 17:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | Guest69730: It's the service that translates hostnames to IP addresses. | 17:24 |
| Capprentice | Domain Name System. Connect google.com to its corresponding UP | 17:24 |
| Capprentice | IP | 17:24 |
| Guest69730 | ah, thanks | 17:24 |
| Deathlire | domain name server..it looks up all the info on a name and resolutes to an ip | 17:24 |
| Hawkerz | I expect that changing local nameservers is not going to thwart the chinese government, sadly | 17:24 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: so diskspace is not the problem, you might test the brute method: "sudo rm mysql.log.[3-7].gz" and run logrotate again to see if it stll errors (just be sure you don't need the old logs anymore) | 17:24 |
| petester | Hawkerz, still no wifi :/ | 17:25 |
| Guest69730 | yea they may have cottoned on to that | 17:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | kurteknikk: If you need them you can move them to some other directory. | 17:25 |
| andrew123 | I just installed google-chrome, but it can only be run from terminal. When I run it and Lock it to Launcher it cannot be run (does some animation and thats it) - any advice please? | 17:25 |
| jhutchins_wk | !repeat | 17:25 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 17:25 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, No, I used something to get gnome 3 | 17:26 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, I'll get you a link | 17:26 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, why do you think i should remove the others ? since there is space left shouldn't be a problem right ? | 17:26 |
| Capprentice | How to setup vpn ? Is there any software like HotSpot Shield for Ubuntu ? | 17:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | andrew123: We really don't know anything about how Google's software works. | 17:26 |
| kurteknikk | jhutchins_wk, thanks for your tip :) | 17:26 |
| ioria | petester: also b43 is blacklisted ? | 17:26 |
| llutz | kurteknikk:better "sudo mv /var/log/mysql.log.[3-7].gz /tmp" | 17:26 |
| zyngawow | Hawkerz, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html | 17:26 |
| Deathlire | thats always my first line of defense..change dns servers...seems to work most of the time | 17:26 |
| reaper_ | is there any gamer on steam for linux | 17:26 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: no just to check if logrotate runs through if there is no .7.gz , it is just a test | 17:26 |
| ikonia | reaper_: there are games on steam for linux, yes | 17:26 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, mmm ok let me try | 17:27 |
| petester | ioria yes | 17:27 |
| Hawkerz | ok zyngawow thanks | 17:27 |
| reaper_ | i no that butt hell all the servers dont have any players | 17:27 |
| andrew123 | jhutchins_wk: I thought the problem might be on Unity's side. | 17:27 |
| jhutchins_wk | andrew123: Wild guess: You need the full path. | 17:27 |
| Guest69730 | there was a dns server number in there before i replaced it; it's not going to change anything is it now that i have? | 17:27 |
| ioria | petester: this link if for Arch, but could be usefull: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149516 | 17:28 |
| jhutchins_wk | Guest69730: DHCP or static? | 17:28 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: tbh, its like "poking in the dark" because i don't have any real idea why the rotation fails at that point. | 17:28 |
| Hawkerz | peterrus, did you sudo modprobe wl again? | 17:28 |
| Capprentice | Guest64555, hey put 8.8.8.8 amd 8.8.4.4 | 17:28 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, still same error | 17:29 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: Nah, flickering is back in HoN. | 17:29 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, what i noticed is: rotating log /var/log/mysql.log, log->rotateCount is 7 | 17:29 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, at least it lasted awhile :p | 17:29 |
| Hawkerz | i guess bumblebee doesn't have it's own logs? | 17:29 |
| gustav_ | Maybe. | 17:30 |
| Guest69730 | yea i tried that capprentice, nothing. but there was 61.130.254.34 in the primary dns and nothing in the secondary | 17:30 |
| Hawkerz | gustav_, some errormsgs are reported to /var/log/syslog -- grep for bumblebee maybe | 17:30 |
| llutz | kurteknikk:i guess its just the value taken from here" grep rotate /etc/logrotate.d/mysql-server" | 17:30 |
| Capprentice | Guest64555, no matter. You can put what I have written. Still this will work. | 17:31 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, so from somewhere it's expecting that there's 7 logs... | 17:31 |
| Guest69730 | ah that's ok, thanks | 17:31 |
| Guest69730 | yea it looks like i'm still connected to the internet without that | 17:31 |
| Deathlire | should have first and second Guest69730 and if its put into the router to apply or save changes..may also need a good reboot to flush the dns | 17:32 |
| Deathlire | reboot of the router that is | 17:32 |
| Capprentice | yes. Reboot. | 17:32 |
| Capprentice | other wise changes will not reflect. | 17:32 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: but you removed the .3...7.gz from /var/log before you issued logrotate again, and checked it? | 17:32 |
| jhutchins_wk | The only reason to reboot a linux system is to load a new kernel. | 17:33 |
| * sakhi trying to get more reasons why an open source application should not be hosted on a Windows server. | 17:33 | |
| kurteknikk | llutz, yes i checked it and it still complained about 8 | 17:33 |
| Hawkerz | Guest64555, are you seriously trying to circumvent the chinese government's firewall using dns? | 17:33 |
| Guest69730 | sorry to sound stupid but is that push the little button in the back on and off | 17:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | Rebooting for other reasons is a holdover from Windows and is not necessary in Linux. | 17:33 |
| ikonia | sakhi: please do it in a different channel then | 17:33 |
| Hawkerz | er, one of you anyway | 17:33 |
| Guest69730 | yea, i'm trying :) | 17:33 |
| jhutchins_wk | sakhi: What do you mean by hosted? | 17:34 |
| Hawkerz | I have to be somewhat skeptical that they would not have considered that | 17:34 |
| ikonia | jhutchins_wk: sakhi this is nothing to do with ubuntu | 17:34 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: can you please pastebinit the output from last run? | 17:34 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, yeah give me a sec | 17:34 |
| sakhi | jhutchins_wk: I mean running a proprietary base OS and a OSS application. I'm sure this is the right channel for this though. | 17:35 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602555/ | 17:35 |
| babs | hi | 17:36 |
| jhutchins_wk | sakhi: ikonia is right that this isn't related to ubuntu, but there's no reason not to run OS applications like openoffice or konversation on a Windows system. | 17:36 |
| babs | hi | 17:36 |
| cloakable | Is this right place to ask about Pulseaudio on ubuntu? | 17:37 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: those "renaming ....7 ->8" "6->7" etc lines are independent of real existing log.files and i tested it here, it successfully removes 8.gz at the end. sorry no idea why it fails with your setup | 17:37 |
| Guest69730 | what if i went to edit a new vpn and created a new one, would that work? | 17:37 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've recently updated some packages, and since then I can't log in with ubuntu3D, I am forwarded to ubuntu 2D. I have 12.04. What to do ? | 17:37 |
| kristenbb | k1l: ^ | 17:38 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, strange i have 2 other servers and noone of them have problems | 17:38 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, also checked logrotate script and it looks the same... | 17:38 |
| Hawkerz | hmmmm hopefully zyngawow's disappearance and failure to return is because wiping fglrx went well.... | 17:39 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, thanks a lot for your time, i'll see if i can figure out what's going on... | 17:39 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: sorry i couldn't help | 17:39 |
| radzior | hi, is xubuntu-desktop missing from repo? i have installed ubuntu over network and cant install xfce | 17:40 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: but at least you are right, its not the debian-sysmaint-password :) | 17:40 |
| jrib | radzior: what happens when you try? | 17:40 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, yeah... what's interesting is that even if i run the command on another server that i have, it still complains about file 8 | 17:41 |
| radzior | i get: E: Unable to locate package xubuntu-desktop | 17:41 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, but i never got any email notifications that it fails on that server | 17:41 |
| jrib | radzior: run "sudo apt-get update" and try again | 17:41 |
| radzior | jrib: did that | 17:41 |
| jrib | radzior: make sure you have universe enabled | 17:41 |
| radzior | jrib: how do i make sure? | 17:41 |
| jrib | !repositories | radzior | 17:42 |
| ubottu | radzior: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 17:42 |
| radzior | you mean, adding some new repos? | 17:42 |
| gustav_ | I think the flickering is due to heat. | 17:42 |
| jrib | radzior: enable the universe repository, yes | 17:42 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: | 17:42 |
| Hawkerz | yeah, I agree with you | 17:43 |
| radzior | thank you :) | 17:43 |
| Hawkerz | even my steady typing and programming has that effect | 17:43 |
| gustav_ | Hawkerz: It started flickering, I lifted it from my lap and it stopped. | 17:43 |
| Hawkerz | it could be interesting to track temperature | 17:43 |
| gustav_ | True. | 17:44 |
| gustav_ | Seems to be a zillion sensors, though. | 17:44 |
| Guest69730 | put your computer in the fridge | 17:44 |
| dakotawulfy | can someone help me with grub2 | 17:44 |
| gustav_ | It's rather cold already but sure. | 17:44 |
| dakotawulfy | want to write grub to usb thumb drive | 17:44 |
| Hawkerz | dakotawulfy, okay | 17:46 |
| Hawkerz | go for it | 17:46 |
| dakotawulfy | Hawkerz ok when i try to use this script it does not work i get a ERROR: mkdir /var/lock/dmraid | 17:47 |
| gustav_ | What exactly are all the problems being worked on now? | 17:48 |
| kristenbb | hi, I've recently updated some packages, and since then I can't log in with ubuntu3D, I am forwarded to ubuntu 2D. I have 12.04. What to do ? | 17:49 |
| Hawkerz | dakotawulfy, how are you attempting to install? | 17:49 |
| Hawkerz | ubuntu has a tool specifically to make bootable usb sticks | 17:49 |
| Hawkerz | kristenbb, http://paste.ubuntu.com -- the output of: sudo lshw -c display | 17:50 |
| dakotawulfy | ok using this script | 17:50 |
| dakotawulfy | Hawkerz http://paste.ubuntu.com/5602597/ | 17:50 |
| Hawkerz | dakotawulfy, so you -only- want grub? | 17:50 |
| Hawkerz | zyngawow, should I take the downtime as a sign that things went badly? | 17:51 |
| artrei | hi all, how do i call lxde panel settings from terminal? | 17:51 |
| zyngawow | No, everything went great, just the WiFi, I'm using my phone as a modem | 17:51 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, do you know who is responsible of the logrotate 'postrotate script' ? is it mysql or ubuntu ? | 17:51 |
| dakotawulfy | Hawkerz ok try to do an install on usb thumb drive wanted to do full install on usb | 17:52 |
| novice | how can I disable swap and remove swap file? | 17:52 |
| Hawkerz | dakotawulfy, use ubuntu's startup disk tool | 17:52 |
| Hawkerz | dakotawulfy, it does precisely that and handles all the formatting and stuff | 17:52 |
| dakotawulfy | nope | 17:52 |
| kristenbb | Hawkerz: http://pastebin.com/pHJkgVSP | 17:52 |
| dakotawulfy | no | 17:52 |
| llutz | kurteknikk: good question, mysql i'd guess | 17:52 |
| ronalds | It's interesting how unity runs tf2 faster than openbox, and I tought it's lightweight | 17:52 |
| novice | I tried swapoff -a but the next time system starts swap is there again | 17:52 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, ok because i think the problem is actually in the: 'running script (multiple) with arg...' | 17:53 |
| kurteknikk | llutz, which is actually the postrotate script... and they have a comment: Really no mysqld or rather a missing debian-sys-maint user? | 17:54 |

| SaidKLE | Okay, so maybe I didn't explain myself right. I installed ubuntu-desktop on top of a fresh install of ubuntu server from usb in order to get gui. Network manager can't see wireless networks and wouldn't let me enable/disable network interfaces until I edited /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf so it would manage the interface. Still, wireless networks don't show up. I think perhaps the server way of connecting is conflicting with the | 19:15 |

| FerkSwe | Any ideas why+_ | 19:51 |
| ikonia | NewbieBodhi: I don't believe overclocking will help you | 19:51 |

| ikonia | NewbieBodhi: I'd look at fixing that | 19:51 |
| dodo3773 | NewbieBodhi: FullHD videos? Overclocking your card should not be related to this really in any way. Not unless your computer is really really old | 19:52 |

| passion | There are DMCC, GOV, FOX bot infesting free software sites, TBP, and any torrent forum I have vistied | 21:02 |
| moataz | how to run apps as root ? | 21:03 |
| MoPac | lnakot: sorry for the disconnect. If you have encrypted files or an encrypted filesystem on a NAS, I don't see that you have to do anything special to move "the computation" to the client | 21:03 |
| Extreme | moataz: use 'sudo' | 21:03 |
| MoPac | lnakot: the client computer is always doing the actual decryption. | 21:03 |

| hagis | nautilus is slow on displaying the home folder. jumping to other folders directly is fast. any idea? (12.04) | 21:04 |

| samjd1011 | hagis: its to do do with the personalised folder icons | 21:05 |
| hagis | no | 21:05 |
| MoPac | lnakot: even if that is the case, that decryption step is transparent to you. If you want to not have the NAS send or receive any plaintext data (even over SSL, say), then you can add an encfs folder or a Truecrypt container onto the NAS, controlled by the client. Then, if the NAS has its own encryption, you can use it or not -- if would just be an extra layer. | 21:05 |
| passion | Someone Kick Aremtius that is just the same thing happend to me I saw some questionable activty on a website that had to do with the TBP, some guy was urging people to go to GOOGLE site to watch a video..and there was no video at all ... I think they are after my ip addresse? | 21:06 |
| MoPac | The important thing in such a setup would be to make sure that the mount point of the encrypted folder(s) is local rather than on the NAS | 21:06 |
| Guest58905 | well lets see how bad of a set back this is | 21:06 |
| hagis | samjd1011: how can i disable default icons? | 21:06 |
| passion | I havent used torrentz site in years but whatever going on is some serious sh*t | 21:06 |
| MoPac | lnakot: actually, what I said last might not be true: it may not matter what the mount point is because of how the file manager handles the transactions | 21:06 |
| FerkSwe | passion, That was a youtube link to the movie TPB AFK, watching it right now. | 21:07 |
| Guest63637 | hola | 21:07 |
| lnakot | MoPac: cool. In my case it's not about sending plaintext via network, but about having a NAS that has minimal CPU power | 21:08 |
| jhutchins_wk | passion: You know that the tinfoil hat just attracts the brain control waves, righ? | 21:08 |
| newvicious | exit | 21:08 |
| MoPac | lnakot: Does your NAS have a feature to encrypt its own files? | 21:08 |
| lnakot | MoPac: no | 21:08 |
| lnakot | but I have ssh access, it's some debian on ARM | 21:09 |
| FerkSwe | passion, And unless you use a vpn, or just spoof it, your IP is freely available with a simple /whois | 21:09 |
| MoPac | lnakot: Okay, then you really don't have anything to worry about CPU-wise. What will happen is that you will put a TrueCrypt container or encfs folder on the NAS, and that will hold the encrypted content. Using a client program like TrueCrypt or encfs/Cryptkeeper, you will "mount" the remote file or folder. | 21:09 |
| samjd1011 | hagis: use dcong-editor | 21:09 |
| rohdef | I've installed 12.10 along a win 7 uefi, grub didn't show any options, so I did a boot-repair, now I got windows detected, but it doesn't work | 21:10 |

| passion | just weird coincidence | 21:10 |
| ArchBeOS | anyone here know how to take icons away from the Unity Apps lens? I have a ton of WINE apps installed and their icons overwhelm my Apps Lense | 21:11 |
| MoPac | lnakot: When mounted, a folder will appear somewhere you specify, and that will show you plaintext contents. Whenever you read or write in that plaintext folder, your local CPU will pull or push the relevant encrypted data over the network connection: the plaintext-ness of it is an illusion and all in your RAM | 21:11 |
| emash | and ip adresses, i own an andress, but it's tracable only to my city and not further, no names whatsoever. or... impress me | 21:12 |
| MoPac | lnakot: I don't think there's too much risk of that, but in any case you can easily back up. For TrueCrypt volumes, you can make a backup of the volume header. So if the header ever gets corrupted, you can just restore it. For encfs folders, there is a file in the folder called ".encfs" that you can back up and restore if something goes wrong | 21:12 |
| lnakot | cool | 21:12 |
| passion | I am on torrentfreakz.com and I am seeing the same kind of stuff- people talking out of order, telling them to visiit links, etc. it's look so unatural you can just smell something fishy going on. I wasn't the only one who noticed and called them out. | 21:12 |
| LL_ | Anyone know where I can get help with Prolog? | 21:13 |
| MoPac | lnakot: Keep in mind that encrypted data is written in blocks that are decrypted with the private key. So if a block gets corrupted because of a network error, it doesn't affect other blocks. In reality, I don't think it's much more dangerous than corruption of a plaintext file | 21:13 |

| lnakot | MoPac: TrueCrypt will work on windows & linux? | 21:13 |
| MoPac | lnakot: Yes, TrueCrypt will work. Question: are you also going to be backing up the encrypted data that is on the NAS? | 21:14 |
| MoPac | lnakot: (e.g., I have encrypted data on my NAS, and I also use my cloud backup program to upload that encrypted data in case soemthing happens to my NAS or the files get corrupted)) | 21:14 |
| lnakot | MoPac: not sure, but there's a plenty of space there, so I might backup some volume | 21:14 |
| passion | I just want to know what website I can find a proxy that not being traked. I dont' know too much about this stuff ...but it would be kind if someone can help me find a prxoy | 21:15 |
| lnakot | MoPac: nice | 21:15 |
| lnakot | so I was thinking about doing backup of container file, on the NAS. I.e. cp container container-`date`. To protect against network problems. Cloud would protect against other situations | 21:16 |
| MoPac | lnakot: So, there's a tradeoff you have to look at. With TrueCrypt, the whole encrypted volume is one big file. Depending on how sophisticated your backup program is, if you change one little thing on it, it might then start the backup all over again. (Some programs work at the block level and will figure out as they go that they don't have to do this) | 21:16 |
| passion | I wont talk no more tinfoil hat just need a way to stop people from geting my IP | 21:16 |
| Gnea | passion: well that's just offtopic here | 21:16 |
| leei_ | Hi all can anyone help with problems with PulseAudio ? | 21:16 |
| samjd1011 | yea leei | 21:17 |
| lb27 | !ask | leei_ | 21:17 |
| ubottu | leei_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:17 |
| passion | but asking someone to view a piratebayvideo is not? | 21:17 |
| Gnea | passion: actually, in here, it is. you should ask in #freenode instead. | 21:17 |
| emash | passion your ip is 96.27.11.195 | 21:17 |
| MoPac | lnakot: With encfs, that is not a problem. The whole folder and file structure is visible, and each individual file is encrypted by itself. So if you change one file, your backup routine will know that it only needs to re-back-up that one file. BUT I have had a speed problem with writing to encfs on my NAS samba share. See my report at https://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/detail?id=161&q=SAM | 21:17 |
| MoPac | sorry https://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/detail?id=161&q=SAMBA | 21:17 |
| emash | who cares anyway? | 21:17 |
| passion | I care because I often visit bittorrent sites | 21:18 |
| Gnea | !offtopic | passion | 21:19 |
| ubottu | passion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:19 |
| leei_ | I have tried various Linux Distributions, Mageia 2, Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, Mint 14, Manjaro 0.8.4 and Open Suse 12.2 I can get the 5.1 surround sound working the the sound loops and sounds like a machine gun and the words just repeat like right or left etc when testing the speakers and on bootup on Ubuntu the sound does the same thing. If I change to only use two speakers sound works correctly. | 21:19 |
| FerkSwe | Anyone able to help me "decipher" this log? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5603129/ Came from running dpkg -i on 3.8.2 headers for amd64 | 21:19 |
| samjd1011 | emash and passion can you take this somewhere else? | 21:19 |
| escott | rohdef, what grub do you have installed? the efi or bios version | 21:19 |
| lnakot | MoPac: the samba share is on linux? or maybe encfs supports windows? | 21:19 |
| Gnea | passion: although I doubt you'll get good help on your query there... so try #freenode instead | 21:19 |
| FerkSwe | passion, If you wanna stay hidden, get a vpn like swissvpn or ipredator <- I like that one | 21:19 |
| MoPac | lnakot: this is a samba share that I have mounted in ubuntu. the CIFS program in ubuntu works fine with this | 21:20 |
| MoPac | lnakot: Although there also IS an encfs program for windows, which I also use on my Windows side since I dual boot. http://members.ferrara.linux.it/freddy77/encfs.html | 21:20 |
| rohdef | escott, to be quite honest I don't know, I think it's bios now, followed the instructions at the second answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/208286/efi-gpt-dual-boot-quantal-amd64-impossible-boot-windows-7 | 21:21 |
| passion | ok before you guy ban me. I am running a mac with win on bootcamp since it's impossible to install linux on it I am going to try a VM .. but I also want to use it to install lamp and learn how to code. I already downloaded the server version of ubntu is that a good choice or no? | 21:21 |
| FerkSwe | passion, It is possible to run linux on a mac | 21:21 |
| passion | I read the doc, I am not a computer scientiest | 21:22 |
| sefsef | and the server version is fine to run | 21:22 |
| FerkSwe | What kinda mac you got? | 21:22 |
| samjd1011 | passion: try xamp if your using mac os x is unix based anyway | 21:22 |
| passion | mac mini | 21:22 |
| Gnea | passion: you just need to know how to read and understand what it is saying, it doesn't take a scientist to know how to do that (many actually do not) | 21:22 |
| rohdef | escott, but that setup doesn't show win at all :/ | 21:22 |
| escott | rohdef, well if its bios its wrong, and you wont be able to boot windows. check with dpkg -l "*grub*" | 21:22 |
| passion | i was told for development linux is better want to learn PHP MSYQL and J.NODE | 21:23 |
| FerkSwe | passion, Even I have managed to install ubuntu on a mac, and I can't even upgrade my kernel | 21:23 |
| passion | tripple boot? | 21:24 |
| FerkSwe | Dual | 21:24 |
| Sonderblade | what do you use to debug whether 3d drivers and dri are setup and working correctly? glxgears doesn't really work for that purpose anymore | 21:24 |
| FerkSwe | Running Ubuntu natively next to mac os | 21:24 |
| passion | i have windows running too | 21:24 |
| rohdef | escott, un grub-efi and grub-efi-amg64 :/ I assume that means bios | 21:24 |
| FerkSwe | passion, What version of mac mini do you have? | 21:24 |
| escott | rohdef, efi is efi, efi is not bios. if it says efi it is efi | 21:25 |
| rohdef | escott, but doesn't un mean that it has unpacked the files but not installed? | 21:26 |
| February | How to I get rid of this grouping when I ALT+TAB? I Googled and apparently I am supposed to enable something called "Static window switching" or something in Compiz's setting manager, but that option isn't there. Anything else I can do? The default is pretty inane and extremely annoying. | 21:26 |
| FerkSwe | February, Ping me if you find a solution! | 21:27 |
| rohdef | escott, I have ii grub-pc | 21:27 |
| escott | rohdef, you should not have the bios version of grub installed aka "grub-pc" you should have the efi version installed | 21:27 |
| === kgs is now known as Guest91841 | ||
| escott | rohdef, so that is wrong and probably the source of your problems | 21:27 |
| samjd1011 | February: if you hate it so much and cant find a solution just get rid of unity | 21:27 |
| escott | rohdef, now i get what you were typing "un grub-efi" you mean "un" as the first part of the dpkg output | 21:28 |
| FerkSwe | samjd1011, It's present in Gnome 3 too | 21:28 |
| escott | rohdef, so remove grub-pc, install grub-efi, run grub-install and hopefully it works | 21:28 |
| rohdef | escott, sorry :) I'm typing from another computer, so didn't copy paste the line | 21:28 |
| rohdef | escott, I think that's the original setup from before I did what the page I linked said :/ | 21:29 |
| leei_ | What channel can use to get support on Pulse Audio and Ubuntu 12.10 | 21:29 |
| escott | rohdef, if your windows is efi then your linux needs to be efi as well. | 21:30 |
| FerkSwe | Does this mean anything to someone? make[2]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/alsa-hda/0.201303081653~quantal1/build/patch_analog.o] Error 1 | 21:31 |
| escott | rohdef, it should be obvious what windows expects by checking the partition table with sudo parted -l. if it is gpt and has an efi partition then it is an efi system | 21:31 |
| xangua | February: what ubuntu version¿ i see the static plugin on 12.04 http://i.imgur.com/2SRBZUj.png | 21:31 |
| escott | FerkSwe, there was an error when trying to make patch_analog.o | 21:31 |
| rohdef | escott, did the install, grub-install says something with source_dir don't exist | 21:32 |
| FerkSwe | escott, Okay... It continued with two more errors lines. Trying to upgrade my kernal from 3.5 to 3.8 | 21:32 |
| rohdef | escott, the parteed one says gpt at the partition table, so efi it is | 21:32 |
| escott | rohdef, just because the table is gpt doesn't mean it is efi, although windows doesn't support bios boots on gpt disks | 21:33 |
| rohdef | escott, although the drive with the linux use msdos | 21:33 |
| rohdef | escott, the file systems is fat32 and ntfs | 21:33 |
| escott | rohdef, if you are efi then all your disks should be gpt. you can convert with gdisk utility | 21:33 |
| rohdef | escott, the fat32 is names EFI system partition | 21:34 |
| escott | rohdef, that sure sounds like efi | 21:34 |
| escott | rohdef, i've not yet seen an efi crossboot but presumably having both disks gpt is a good idea | 21:34 |
| rohdef | escott, ok, how would I do that? | 21:35 |
| escott | !info gdisk | rohdef | 21:35 |
| ubottu | rohdef: gdisk (source: gdisk): GPT fdisk text-mode partitioning tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.5-1 (quantal), package size 333 kB, installed size 752 kB | 21:35 |
| leei_ | When setting up 5.1 sound the sound loops and sounds like a machine gun and the words just repeat like right or left etc when testing the speakers and on bootup on Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 the sound Loops. If I change to only use two speakers sound works correctly. Please advise | 21:35 |
| rohdef | escott, ok, will is keep my data? | 21:35 |
| escott | rohdef, yes | 21:36 |
| escott | rohdef, (used properly of course) | 21:36 |
| _ultimate | i am looking for some help with locking the id of 2 omnikey readers after the reboot of ubuntu, i have read that this can be done via udev, does anyone have any ideas, Thanks | 21:36 |

| emash | guys i have a 160 gb win 7 partition and i want ubuntu installed alongside. which size would be ebough for me? | 21:36 |
| securebot | 30GB | 21:37 |
| escott | emash, i would not go smaller than about 10GB | 21:37 |
| emash | so if a go for say 30gigs how much space will be availible for ubuntu software? | 21:37 |

| _ultimate | anyone know where i can read about udev and how to fix serial device ids? | 21:41 |
| sefsef | have not heard that about alsa | 21:41 |
| _ultimate | or how to fix pcsc device id's | 21:41 |
| stunts513 | can anyone here help me with well i guess its kinda just a general linux problem im having in ubuntu involving my lack of knowledge on the sed command? | 21:41 |
| _ultimate | when ever i reboot the id's change and then i have to start un pluggint and re plugging the devices | 21:42 |
| FerkSwe | sefsef, Seems strange indeed, but the make fails when it reaches it. | 21:42 |
| catwiesel | stunts513: What is it? | 21:42 |
| FerkSwe | sefsef, But I shouldn't say too much, I have no clue what I'm really doing | 21:42 |
| stunts513 | well its not so much tryin gto get it to d omsethign as im crosscompiling ffmpeg using a script i modified for my purpose i found on github and theres a sed command running at the end of it that always has an error | 21:43 |
| stunts513 | i do some bash but im not very familiar with sed | 21:43 |
| stunts513 | heres the line of coding: sed -i '.ori' 's/CONFIGURATION.*$/CONFIGURATION \" \"/g' config.h | 21:44 |
| passion | Is windows becoming more transparent and OS I was offered a link to 30 day class- and at the end they would be able to waive my fee. And I dont have win8 so I am not sure to do it.

| catwiesel | Sounds heavy. | 21:44 |
| February | catwiesel: is everything heavy in the future | 21:44 |
| stunts513 | i more or less just want to know what that even does | 21:44 |
| catwiesel | Huh? | 21:44 |
| stunts513 | because i dont know if its realted to that command not running right but when i compiel i eventually run into a error | 21:45 |
| passion | Sponsoring workshops to build open sourse HTML5 app doens't sound like something MS would | 21:45 |

| passion | I don't know there both about operate systems, I am asking about free software, I am in a chat room. I am in a IRS chat room so that means I am bored. I would llike to shoot the shit with you about ubuntu but I am sure you guys know everything I know about it. | 21:48 |
| PatrickDickey | passion, I'd check in #windows about this. | 21:48 |
| h00k | passion: for offtopic chatter about Ubuntu, you can talk in #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:48 |
| passion | does this qualify ... its a linux question not ubunutu | 21:49 |
| PatrickDickey | And passion, I'd say "no" otherwise. I don't think Microsoft allows HTML5 apps in their store. | 21:49 |
| Yud_Zroc | windows 8 does allow it, but it must be wrapped into c++ code (or using awesomeium) | 21:49 |
| passion | thats what i was thinking yud | 21:50 |
| cypher-neo | passion: They don't allow HTML5 apps in their store. They only barely support HTML5 as it is in IE. | 21:50 |
| Yud_Zroc | passion: I Reccomend you look into construct2 | 21:50 |
| passion | yeah i know ie5 sucked when I used it | 21:50 |
| passion | construct2 | 21:50 |
| stunts513 | catwiesel, you seemy sed command im tryin gto figureout what does? | 21:50 |
| Yud_Zroc | Construct2 is a HTML5 game dev software that allows export to facebook, kongregate, windows 8, and web | 21:51 |
| catwiesel | Well, it replaces some text with other text, but I'm sure you knew that already. | 21:51 |
| _ultimate | it appears i have found the type of thing i am talking about but for different devices | 21:51 |
| stunts513 | well i figured that much, so what is replacing what is really what i need to know because its not doing anythign and exiting that with an error | 21:52 |
| passion | can you create a fuse app, and wrap it into something else so you put it in a store (a lubuntu one of couse) | 21:52 |
| Yud_Zroc | My question: Im new to SVN and was wondering how it affects other team members, does it ONLY copy the source code and NOT the project or am I wrong? | 21:52 |
| Yud_Zroc | passion: not with C2 | 21:52 |
| passion | the thing that makes apps out of website by I believe removing the bored around them | 21:52 |
| _ultimate | http://askubuntu.com/questions/49910/how-to-distinguish-between-identical-usb-to-serial-adapters | 21:53 |
| _ultimate | that seems to answer my question now i need to adapt it to my needs, i will give it a try tomorrow and see if it works. | 21:53 |
| PatrickDickey | Yud_Zroc: I'm not an expert on SVN (or even git for that matter), but I'd guess that as long as you don't have write permissions, your changes won't affect others in the project. | 21:53 |
| catwiesel | stunts513: How about pasting the command in here? | 21:53 |
| ivotkl | Hello. =) Is there anyone who could tell me how to improve temperature issues without spending any money or spending little for a month old Samsung network? Videos hang when playing in HD. Using Ubuntu 12.04. | 21:53 |
| passion | I swear thats what this person did on this mac app that on my toolbar when I click it .. it redirect to a mobile site and I actually felt for it- well so did a lot of other people but they didn't realize it. | 21:54 |
| stunts513 | ok | 21:54 |
| stunts513 | sed -i '.ori' 's/CONFIGURATION.*$/CONFIGURATION \" \"/g' config.h | 21:54 |
| Yud_Zroc | PatrickDickey: The server has groups for it that im using, im just wondering if SVN only effects code and not the whole project (like assets and models etc) | 21:54 |
| ivotkl | stunts513: is that command for me? | 21:55 |
| passion | I would be a millionaire if I could do what he is doing | 21:55 |
| stunts513 | no thats fro catwiesel | 21:55 |
| ivotkl | Ok, thanks. | 21:55 |
| PatrickDickey | ivotkl: No. he's having problems with that command. | 21:55 |
| ivotkl | I'm thinking maybe switching of desktop environment for it to be lighter and videos playing better. | 21:55 |
| passion | question is bash on ubuntu the same thing as terminal on mac .. I was able to use some of same commands | 21:56 |
| ivotkl | Is there any drivers or programs I could install to manage temperature better? | 21:56 |
| stunts513 | this script was initially designed to run on osx but most of the stuff i had to change was just the paths for the toolchain | 21:56 |
| PatrickDickey | passion: Sort of, but not really. I think the Mac terminal uses a different shell than bash. Maybe tcsh or csh. | 21:57 |
| _ultimate | anybody have experience with udev? | 21:57 |
| passion | I thought so because this bash book I have say to download something to use it with macos | 21:58 |
| PatrickDickey | passion: http://support.apple.com/kb/ta27005 explains the shells a bit better (at least the ones used in Mac's Terminal) | 21:58 |
| PatrickDickey | Which bash book are you using? (passion) | 21:58 |
| passion | I wasn't able to complete the installl process using the instuctions on the site. So most likely I wont be able to get too far into the book. | 21:59 |
| catwiesel | stunts513: Well, by reading the manpage I figure, that the command that it takes '.ori' files, matching the last line in them with 'CONFIGURATION.*' and replacing it with 'CONFIGURATION " "' saving it into a 'config.h' file. | 22:00 |
| catwiesel | Not too sure, though. Reading sed is a pain. | 22:00 |
| stunts513 | ok thanks | 22:00 |
| stunts513 | the error i was getting seemed to be syntax ralted | 22:00 |
| passion | I don't I dl alot since I was going to start to learn ubuntu again which been long time ..in college and it was actually opensuse. I got a bunch of them one is called cookbooks, and the other advanced something | 22:00 |
| stunts513 | related* | 22:00 |

| passion | This is unrelated but related at the time. Does google DO no evil when it comes the FOS system. I am sure there sys is not that open by not but have they poured lots of money into Ubuntu and other distros. Kind of a way of being charitable but knowing tat same time it make them richer if they have bunch people making there software for free | 22:05 |

| sirellyn | Thank you. | 22:39 |
| crazy_ | Ikonia thanks for the info | 22:39 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: why are you compiling it ? what do you want to change? | 22:39 |
| jhutchins_wk | FerkSwe: Only the thing you need to fix for the first try. | 22:40 |
| crazy_ | Any hot chicks around? | 22:40 |
| FerkSwe | ikonia, Mostly to have the experience and to learn new things | 22:40 |
| ikonia | crazy_: stop now | 22:40 |
| ikonia | crazy_: no bad language, no pickup things - this channel is for ubuntu support only | 22:40 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: just do a recompile then, don't change anything unless you have need to | 22:40 |
| j___ | Why does my c program only print 4 decimals of a number with 9 decimals ? | 22:41 |
| FerkSwe | Why not? Do I really need support for amature radio? | 22:41 |
| crazy_ | Ikonia may I ask u a question? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | crazy_: is it about ubuntu ? | 22:41 |
| j___ | what can be the reason ? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: why remove it ? | 22:41 |
| crazy_ | Can I spread Nutella on your booty and lick it off? | 22:41 |
| jhutchins_wk | FerkSwe: Since most of that kind of support is modular, it doesn't use any resources except disk space - and if you've installed source and compilers you've used more than it takes up anyway. | 22:42 |
| FerkSwe | Secret ninja op much? | 22:42 |
| === VD is now known as Guest2524 | ||
| jhutchins_wk | FerkSwe: But hey, this is part of what OS is all about, so have fun! Make limited changes and keep notes though, so you know what causes breakage if it happens. | 22:42 |
| FerkSwe | jhutchins_wk, But If I don't reconfigure it I can't say that I have reconfigured it. Just doing it for the fun and knowledge. | 22:43 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: doesn't sound like you're doing it to learn | 22:43 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: sounds like your doing it to say you reconfigured it | 22:43 |
| FerkSwe | ikonia, Both! | 22:44 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: well changing a module so you can say "I reconfigured it" is a pointless thing - more so if you've not reason to do it | 22:45 |
| ikonia | FerkSwe: and just recompiling it will teach you just as much, | 22:45 |

| FerkSwe | Well then, onto compiling! | 22:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | FerkSwe: ikonia does have a point that you should have a goal, preferably one you could measure to see if it worked. I think stripping the modules you don't need might be good, as might compiling the ones you do need into the actual kernel. | 22:57 |
| jhutchins_wk | FerkSwe: I don't know of any current guides to customizing and optimizing it, but I'm sure they're out there. | 22:57 |

| FerkSwe | So doing that, then I'm going to start looking more serious at optimizing it, when I actually have a clue what I am doing | 23:01 |

| emash | guys, installing ubuntu 5 mins before i chosen install alongside option, a guess what, damn installer formatted my second hard drive ffs | 23:05 |

| histo | FerkSwe: ^^^ see OerHeks comment | 23:08 |
| OerHeks | that should shown up @ bootchart | 23:08 |

| ubottu | raj: 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 :) | 23:26 |

| druid | histo: i need a browser + jre 32 bits to get cisco anyconnect to work on my ubuntu 64 bits as it onlys support 32 bits | 23:27 |
| emash | so now i am at the partitioning screen of ubuntu setup. i have sda with 2 parts of windows and sdb which i am not going to use now. my question is: what i chose when creating a new partition from free space on sda and what device i should use for "boot loader installation" | 23:27 |
| histo | raj: you can install a login manager or use mingetty or other techniques | 23:27 |
| histo | raj: actually nevermind you don't want auto login you just want it to startx on login? | 23:28 |
| sam113101 | use your default shell's startup script/file | 23:29 |
| raj | histo, I want it to startx on login | 23:29 |
| bobka | During install, had to add rt73.bin from removable media. Been advised to now install from package to avoid potential upgrade issues. apt-get says already have newest version. From info; shall I add a + to force the install? | 23:29 |
| raj | and I'd actually like to have autologin as well | 23:29 |
| raj | histo ^^ | 23:29 |
| cosmicfires | anyone using pogoplug (pogoplug.com) with ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| histo | raj: well two different issues to startx on login put something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/5603486/ in your user's .bash_profile | 23:31 |
| emash | what device shoud be chosen as boot loader installation when installing ubuntu on the same drive with two win7 partitions (main and 100meg) | 23:31 |
| histo | raj: if you want to do both I recomend using a login manager. There are ways to do it without one. But if you are the type of person that needs X on a server. It may be easier for you to just sudo apt-get install gdm | 23:32 |
| histo | emash: the drive with windows on it /dev/sda | 23:33 |
| histo | emash: in most cases | 23:33 |
| raj | histo, I'm trying to avoid gnome | 23:33 |
| raj | I wanted something totally lightweight like openbox | 23:34 |
| histo | druid: I can't even find the icecat package right now | 23:34 |
| druid | histo: yeah, i added a ppa for that | 23:34 |
| histo | raj: So why are you installing a "server"? | 23:34 |
| raj | a server? | 23:34 |
| raj | what server am I installing? | 23:34 |
| raj | ubuntu-server? | 23:34 |
| histo | raj: you said you started with ubuntu-server | 23:35 |
| raj | yeah | 23:35 |
| histo | raj: You would want to start with ubuntu-minimal if you wanted lightweight or ubuntu-core | 23:35 |
| raj | because I wanna run a lightweight linux OS | 23:35 |
| histo | raj: ubuntu-server is something different | 23:35 |
| raj | I'm gonna be running a server off of it too | 23:35 |
| ivotkl | Guys. Could anyone point me out to a Moborobo similar program for Linux? | 23:36 |

| druid | what about http://madbox.tuxfamily.org/ raj ? | 23:36 |
| emash | histo yes, i have 100meg sda1 and win7 on sda2. what should i chose in drop down menu at the bottom – Device for boot loader installation? | 23:37 |
| === teh_nnob is now known as teh_noob | ||
| histo | raj: ubuntu-server is not ubuntu-minimal | 23:37 |
| suhaib | raj: Do you know how to set a shortcut that will make a window always on top ? | 23:37 |
| histo | emash: /dev/sda | 23:37 |
| emash | histo, can i just select my free space on sda and hit install then? | 23:37 |
| histo | druid: do you have ia32-libs installed? | 23:38 |
| druid | i do | 23:38 |
| histo | emash: the bootloader gets installed to /dev/sda so that grub can be used to boot and you will be able to select winblows or ubuntu on boot. The operating system gets installed to freespace if you have any or you can have it resize windows partition and install in the new freespace. | 23:40 |
| raj | suhaib, sorry, I don't | 23:40 |
| histo | druid: the other option is a 32bit chroot | 23:41 |
| emash | histo it says no root file sustem is defined. it means i have to make a swap and main partition from freespace? | 23:41 |
| raj | histo, can you tell me why I'd want minimal instead of server+xorg+openbox? | 23:43 |
| magixx | im trying to install https://github.com/jedisct1/libpuzzle, i installed g++ and libgd2-xpm-dev, however when do 'make check' it tells me a test failed, i tried make install and that did something, however when i run the program it gives me and error of cant open shared object libpuzzle.so.1 | 23:43 |
| histo | druid: and it still doesn't work with ia32-libs? | 23:43 |
| escott | !find libpuzzle.so.1 | magixx | 23:43 |
| ubottu | magixx: File libpuzzle.so.1 found in libpuzzle1 | 23:43 |
| histo | emash: Why are you creating your own partitions? Is there a reason you don't use the installers wizard? Also didn't you already install? You complained about overwriting a hard drive already. | 23:43 |
| histo | raj: because you wanted a "light" system | 23:44 |
| magixx | i libpuzzle1 i believe is from package libpuzzle-bin | 23:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | can anyone give me a command to zip the contents of a directory and remove said files, leaving only the resulting .zip? | 23:46 |
| histo | magixx: nope | 23:46 |
| magixx | but if i install libpuzzle-bin that version is old | 23:46 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: remove what files? | 23:46 |
| druid | histo: no it doesn't | 23:46 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: the files going into the zip | 23:47 |
| emash | can /home partition be ntfs? | 23:47 |
| histo | druid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How_to_Make_32-bit_Applications_Work_on_a_64-bit_Operating_System | 23:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | emash: I suppose, but why would you want to? | 23:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | druid: just install the 32-bit libs, its easy. | 23:47 |
| magixx | it tells me libpuzzle1 ios already the newest version if i try to install it | 23:47 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: what make a zip of the contents of a directory then remove the files in the zip leaving only the resulting zip? How does that make sense. | 23:47 |
| histo | magixx: Then you already have libpuzzle | 23:48 |
| emash | i want second hard drive to be my home folder in ubuntu, being accesible from windows | 23:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: not the files in the zip, but the files that went into the zip. when you create a zip gui the original files are left intact, is it the same with cl? | 23:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | emash: you can install a program on windows that lets it read ext | 23:49 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: just rm them after | 23:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: thing is is they are all ascii text without an extension. | 23:49 |
| magixx | but it does not work when i run it | 23:49 |
| druid | ntzrmtthihu777: i did it already, it's not sufficient for what i'm trying to do. | 23:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: and there are far too many to rm manually | 23:50 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: right you could zip somedirectory && rm somedirectory/* | 23:50 |
| histo | ntzrmtthihu777: or just remove the directory | 23:50 |
| raj | histo, but why isn't server light? | 23:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | druid: explain | 23:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: if the zip ends up in the same dir rm will get rid of it too. | 23:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | histo: ooooh, so if I am in that dir i can do zip * ../zip.zip and then rm the current dir, right? | 23:51 |
