[00:00] <Ben64> khildin: just keep asking around here, someone will know
[00:00] <khildin> Ben64: thnx for the effort anyway
[00:00] <dr_willis> just getting a partial desktop us a way way too common problem lately
[00:00] <knob> Hello everyone.   I have an Odroid-X2, and many people install Ubuntu 12.04 on it... yet I have no idea where to download it.    Any pointers as to where to get it?
[00:00] <yourimym1> holstein: is synpatic package manager is doing the job ?
[00:01] <Ben64> dr_willis: got any ideas for khildin? intel driver is loaded and in use, yet no 3d
[00:02] <dr_willis> Ben64:  see if a newly made user works. perhaps may give a clue
[00:03] <KI4RO> knob, http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/08/08/ubuntu-12-04-on-odroid-x-development-board/
[00:03] <knob> KI4RO, on my way! Thanks!
[00:03] <KI4RO> All I did was google it...ARGH!
[00:04] <knob> YEs.. I did that
[00:04] <knob> Yet I'm a n00b at this, and I just don't understand
[00:04] <knob> Some people are running Android on the Odroid-X2, and other are running Ubuntu
[00:04] <knob> And I'm just... have no idea
[00:06] <khildin> dr_willis: I already tried that... new user has same issues with unity
[00:08] <khildin> brb reboot time
[00:09] <dr_willis> ive seen this partial-unity-desktop issue on way to many differnt systems/chipsets/drivers these last 2 months...
[00:10] <OerHeks> with .Xauthority, dr_willis?
[00:11] <dr_willis> had it on a 13.04 system the other day..  nvidia-settings showed the 3d drivers were working.. kde effects where working...  I just cleaned out most of my home dir/settings to try... and it started working.
[00:11] <dr_willis> .Xauthorigy normaly causes one to get bounced back to the login screen.
[00:11] <limac> I edited resolv.conf and after rebooting there is no internet...
[00:11] <limac> What can I do to fix this problem?
[00:12] <dr_willis> limac:  start with basic tests.. can you ping the dns servers? can you  ping 8.8.8.8 ?
[00:12] <limac> And also resolv.conf is empty...
[00:12] <dr_willis> 'there is no internet' is a bit broad...
[00:12] <dr_willis> resolv.conf is handled by some service now.. you  really  shouldent be editing it by hand these days.
[00:12] <limac> I have a weird connection... and it is no longer getting detevted
[00:13] <dr_willis> weird or wired?
[00:13] <limac> Oops wired
[00:13] <dr_willis> ;P
[00:13] <limac> Lol
[00:13] <limac> I didn't know not to edit resolve.conf before
[00:13] <dr_willis> perhaps someone can pastebin their default resolv.conf for you to see..
[00:13] <limac> Any fixes?
[00:13] <khildin> Ben64: got it solved.... turned out that ATI Catalyst driver was installed too... after purging those and reboot I got unity desktop back
[00:14] <dr_willis> I thought the first line of resolv.conf mention to not edit it. ;)
[00:14] <khildin> I absolutely have no clue how those came on the laptop
[00:14] <limac> I remember what it was... But after rebooting it goes back to being empty
[00:14] <limac> I did not read it very carefully
[00:14] <Hyperiant> How do I get GRUB to see an OS on a different hard drive?
[00:14] <dr_willis> bbl
[00:15] <limac> OK bye
[00:15] <limac> Is there anything I have to do after editing the resolve.conf to save the changes permanently?
[00:17] <Hyperiant> I have windows on sda and Ubuntu on sdb, but I can't get GRUB to see the OS on sda
[00:17] <jrib> !resolv.conf | limac
[00:32] <kevinkace> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop that currently has a dual boot (2x Win7)
[00:33] <kevinkace> installing off USB, but only get a blinking cursor
[00:33] <geomyidae> Is there a reason that my local machines are being prompted for a user/password for a samba share on my server that allows guests?
[00:33] <geomyidae> I have two shares with the exact same config...

[00:36] <meLon> How the heck do I use pXpX like /dev/eth0?  I can't find a device for my ethernet :\
[00:36] <dr_willis> meLon:  give us some details on what you are doing exactly
[00:37] <meLon> Just trying to access it as a file.  There is no /dev/p5p1 as there there is /dev/eth0
[00:37] <meLon> iptraf, slurm, etc
[00:38] <meLon> I don't know what this name change is called, so Google is really smacking me in the face atm
[00:38] <dr_willis> ive never seen use of /dev/p5p1    befor.
[00:39] <DoktorV> Hello, I'm struggling with installing Ubuntu on a new machine, is this where I should be looking for help?
[00:39] <dr_willis>  what are you trying to do to your network device.
[00:39] <dr_willis> DoktorV:  yes
[00:39] <meLon> Just trying to access it as a file.
[00:39] <dr_willis> meLon:  and do what to it exactly?  ive never seen the syntax /dev/pxPx  used for network devices.. /dev/eth0 techincally would be a file
[00:39] <meLon> program -interface /dev/eth0 < Where is /dev/p5p1... it doesn't exist.  Where is this file/device?
[00:40] <DoktorV> All right, thank you. I'm afraid I'm not good with IRC so please bear with me.
[00:40] <oldpilsbury> having trouble configuring a home file server (not internet-connected). i tried setting up a static ip, then gave and and reconfigured to dhcp. router ip is 192.168.1.1, inet 192.168.1.103, gateway 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0. Reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces to auto dhcp and restarted. I can connect my laptop to server wirelessly but the server is refusing connection.
[00:40] <meLon> Yeah, sorry.  They started labeling by where it is on your bus, dr_willis
[00:40] <dr_willis> meLon:  cant say ive noticed that.. then again - i dont code much these days.
[00:40] <meLon> Your next install will have it
[00:41] <oldpilsbury> tried with gftp, filezilla, ssh. no dice.
[00:41] <dr_willis> got 13.04 on my  machine at home. but  im not at home to look. ;)
[00:41] <DoktorV> I have a new Acer laptop, I've disabled UEFI so I can boot from disc, but when I try to use a distro CD/DVD I get only a black screen
[00:42] <holstein> oldpilsbury: tried what? just use ping.. see if you can ping the gateway from the machine
[00:42] <Atlantic777> meLon: network devices aren't presented as files.
[00:42] <meLon> lol dr_willis p5p2 vs /dev/p5p2 :P
[00:43] <meLon> Atlantic777: I meant as a file on the OS
[00:43] <Atlantic777> meLon: network devices are far more complex than char device, block device or ioctl
[00:43] <meLon> as in /dev/eth0
[00:43] <oldpilsbury> success
[00:43] <Atlantic777> meLon: i understand, but there's no such thing.
[00:43] <oldpilsbury> i can also go to the router setup in web browser
[00:44] <Atlantic777> meLon: network interfaces are burried in kernel and OS is handling whole TCP/IP stack. Network interfaces are working with packets, not with bytes.
[00:44] <Atlantic777> meLon: my I ask you again what are you trying to do with accessing netowrk iface as file?
[00:44] <Atlantic777> may*
[00:44] <meLon> Like I said... iptraf
 any idea why the server is refusing connection?
[00:45] <meLon> Am I like... Are you trying to tell me that there's never been /dev/eth0 ?
[00:45] <Atlantic777> meLon: oh, sorry, I must have missed that
[00:45] <holstein> oldpilsbury: not yet.. can you ping the gateway?
[00:45] <oldpilsbury> yes
[00:45] <Atlantic777> meLon: yep, not on Linux, as far as i know.
[00:45] <holstein> oldpilsbury: can you ping the machines from each other?
[00:46] <Cooper> what is the switch that i use with mv to see the progress.... --progress or -v
[00:47] <oldpilsbury> holstein: inet ping failed from my laptop to the server and back. i do want the inet addr, correct?
[00:47] <Atlantic777> Cooper: -v shows which file is currently being transfered.
[00:47] <Atlantic777> Cooper: see "man mv" for more info about mv options.
[00:48] <Cooper> asked and then read the man files
[00:48] <holstein> oldpilsbury: what are you trying to do?
[00:49] <oldpilsbury> holstein: file transfers. you told me to ping the machine. you meant the server's inet address, right?
[00:49] <holstein> oldpilsbury: if you cant ping the machine, you wont be able to ssh or file share... you can look at firewalls
[00:49] <holstein> oldpilsbury: i mean, the ip address...
[00:50] <Atlantic777> oldpilsbury: a stupid question, is the server out of your local area network?
[00:50] <holstein> oldpilsbury: i usually do this.. i use the dynaptic auto DHCP address.. i get ssh or ftp or whatever setup with the firewalls down.. then i do one thing at a time.. static ip.. firewall.. and test as i go
[00:50] <oldpilsbury> no, just my old desktop with a router attached. :)
[00:50] <holstein> right now, you got a lot of things to troubleshoot oldpilsbury , and i would simplify and take it one step at a time
[00:51] <Atlantic777> oldpilsbury: is your 'client' computer attached to the same router?
[00:51] <holstein> oldpilsbury: you have a machine, hooked up to a router.. and you can ping that gateway.. then you connect with another machine and you can ping the gateway as well?
[00:51] <Rust> i have a new file server, i've run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" as root, i've rebooted, but i still have 6 packs that can be updated...what am i doing wrong?
[00:52] <holstein> Rust: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..but what are the packages?
[00:52] <oldpilsbury> client computer is wirelessly connected to the network
[00:53] <holstein> oldpilsbury: the same network?
[00:53] <Rust> holstein: not sure what they are, just security updates...i though the dist-upgrade was to update the release?
[00:53] <holstein> !dist-upgrade
[00:53] <Rust> thx!
[00:54] <oldpilsbury> i pinged 192.168.1.1 from server and laptop, success
[00:54] <praka> q
[00:54] <deadtrigger> k
[00:54] <holstein> oldpilsbury: try pinging the machines from each other.. look at the firewall settings
[00:54] <oldpilsbury> it's server - eth0 - router - wlan0 - laptop, got it?
[00:55] <Atlantic777> but they are in the same subnet, just two separated interfaces on the router
[00:55] <oldpilsbury> thanks holstein
[00:55] <Atlantic777> so you need local ip address of the router
[00:56] <Atlantic777> you probably can't access the server via public ip of the router even if you did have set port forwarding because some weird thing happen with lan <-> wan <-> lan port forwarding and routing on most cheap routers
[00:56] <oldpilsbury> router local ip is 192.168.1.1
[00:57] <Atlantic777> ok, what's 192.168.x.x ip of the server?
[00:57] <Atlantic777> see it with ifconfig
[00:58] <Atlantic777> well, can you post ifconfig and route -n from your server and client machine?
[00:58] <oldpilsbury> herm
[00:58] <Atlantic777> post it to paste.ubuntu.com
[00:58] <Atlantic777> and you'll probably get simple answer

[01:10] <calmNchill> is there anyone that can answer a quick question about a installer error?
[01:10] <calmNchill> I have not been able to find this particular issue cover
[01:10] <Atlantic777> calmNchill: if you say which error it is...
[01:10] <calmNchill> lol
[01:11] <Atlantic777> there are 1731 souls + bots listening just you, just say it :D
[01:11] <calmNchill> yes I follow the directiona dn the installer starts from from the usb stick then it errors saying it cant find the cdrom
[01:11] <deadtrigger> i have no soul
[01:11] <calmNchill> but im installing from a USB stick
[01:12] <Atlantic777> deadtrigger: so, hope you don't mind being classified as bot.
[01:12] <deadtrigger> oh, ubuntu can make a live usb for installation but it never works for me
[01:12] <Atlantic777> calmNchill: how did you prepare your USB stick? unetbootin or something similar?
[01:12] <calmNchill> I folled the instructions to make the stick on the ubuntu site twice making it once under OSX and once using the pen drive tool it links you to for windows
[01:12] <deadtrigger> this is normal
[01:13] <Atlantic777> I suggest you to try making it with unetbootin.
[01:13] <Atlantic777> !unetbootin
[01:13] <Atlantic777> calmNchill: nah, just use unetbootin
[01:14] <thulsa_d00m> can anyone tell me what the google chrome package is called? in the repo's i'm guessing
[01:14] <jrib> thulsa_d00m: apt-cache search -n google chromium
[01:14] <thulsa_d00m> ahhh, chromium, i was just using chrome. Thanks
[01:15] <jrib> thulsa_d00m: i am a liar.  Try: chromium-browser
[01:15] <calmNchill> I will try this one
[01:15] <thulsa_d00m> yep, it was chromium-browser, thanks again
[01:15] <ac_slater> why the HELL is it near impossible for 32libs to coexist in ubuntu 64 ?
[01:16] <ac_slater> ie - libXext
[01:16] <jrib> ac_slater: umm, multiarch works fine here. What are you doing?
[01:16] <Atlantic777> +1 ^
[01:16] <ac_slater> jrib: I was under the impression that ia32-libs were all that was needed ... so you're telling me there is something else
[01:16] <ac_slater> ?
[01:16] <ac_slater> :)
[01:16] <jrib> ac_slater: what ubuntu version are you using?  In later versions ia32-libs just uses multiarch
[01:17] <ac_slater> 12.04 typically. I have to ensure 12.04 build my stuff at least ... I'm using GL and some common X11 libs
[01:17] <FatDarrel> any openstack lovers here
[01:18] <jrib> ac_slater: so what issue are you having?
[01:18] <calmNchill> @ Atlantic777: this will prolly sound like a dumb question but Im not sure what to select I'm trying to install server 12.04 LTS. what should I select here?
[01:18] <calmNchill> nevermind
[01:18] <ac_slater> jrib: Specifically libxcursor and libxext. IF you look at the package contents, you can see the 32bit and 64bit versions to the same place - creating conflicts.
[01:18] <Atlantic777> calmNchill: select option to use iso image and then just browse and choose iso you have.
[01:19] <jrib> ac_slater: can you give details?
[01:20] <ac_slater> jrib: Sure. In distros like Arch or Gentoo, 32bit libs go into `/lib32/` and 64bit libs into `/lib`. I'm sure ubuntu does something like this with the packages it pulls with ia32-libs... but the two I mentioned arent in ia32-libs. I can install them manually but they conflict with the 64bit libs :(
[01:21] <jrib> ac_slater: right, give these details.  I don't have a 12.04 install
[01:21] <ac_slater> :-/
[01:21] <ac_slater> I observed this with 12.10 also.
[01:22] <jrib> ac_slater: in 12.04 is ia32-libs not just a dependency on ia32-libs-multiarch by the way?
[01:22] <jrib> ac_slater: that's fine, so give these details you are observing
[01:23] <ac_slater> jrib: So you physically cannot install libXext-dev:i386 if you have libXext-dev installed
[01:23] <calmNchill> @ Atlantic777: Thanks
[01:23] <Atlantic777> calmNchill: it worked?
[01:24] <FatDarrel> any kvm/qemu experts here
[01:24] <calmNchill> @ Atlantic777: it is building the installer we'll see
[01:24] <jrib> ac_slater: I just installed libxext-dev and libxext-dev:i386 here on 12.10
[01:25] <ac_slater> jrib: woah. Ok then I might be doing something wrong ...
[01:25] <ac_slater> thanks man
[01:26] <pat> Good Evening All
[01:26] <calmNchill> Anyone in here running "Amahi"?
[01:28] <pat> Looking to resize my XRDP remote desktop display. Only shows with default resolution from the servers monitor.
[01:37] <pat> exit
[01:38] <ac_slater> jrib: So do you have `ia32-libs` installed? Or/And anything else relevant?
[01:38] <antiroach> hi im running ubuntu 12.10 and it seems that commands arent appended to the history. im seeing this behavior on multiple installations. shopt -s histappend is in my .bashrc
[01:39] <jrib> ac_slater: ia32-libs isn't really relevant; it just installs ia32-libs-multiarch which then installs a bunch of libs using multiarch
[01:39] <ac_slater> right ok. Thats what I thought
[01:39] <jrib> antiroach: after exiting your shell?
[01:40] <beezy> is it possible to update an existing install from 32 to 64
[01:40] <beezy> or am i better of reinstalling

[01:40] <beezy> okay
[01:42] <thulsa_d00m> is this the right place for asking for help with installing a icon pack?
[01:42] <Snowie> Hi all. Anyone else had an odd issue in 12.04 unity where the Update Manager icon appears in the doc, but no application window is open? Has a nasty habit of crashing Unity too.
[01:44] <Snowie> thulsa_d00m: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842927
[01:46] <thulsa_d00m> Snowie, thanks, i'll give those ideas a shot
[01:47] <antiroach> jrib: yes, but actually i figured it out. .bash_history was somehow owned by root
[01:48] <antiroach> all fixed now :)
[01:48] <jrib> probably bad "sudo bash" usage...
[01:48] <Snowie> No one else had odd behaviour from update manager auto update. Icon shows in dock, but no application window appears. Interacting with it often crashes unity.
[01:50] <Tizz> hello, i have a HP laptop, that has been working fine using Zorin OS, but recently it has been having trouble connecting to my wireless network
[01:51] <intrader> I have an overheating laptop - when psensor temp2 exceeds 100C the laptop shutdows. This invariably happens with any full screen video (temp2 rapidly increases). I have tried jupiter. Any o these  alternate distros like Mint, Solaris, or Suse do not have the problem with same clip and browser (firefox). I am running linux 12.04. Problems started with 11.04 and appear to be graphics engine related
[01:51] <Tizz> it tries to connect but just acts as if the network isnt there or is missing
[01:51] <Tizz> i've googled and checked the zorin forums to no avail
[01:51] <Tizz> and since it's ubuntu based, i figured i'd check here as well
[01:51] <beezy> Is it possible to specify an existing logical volume when doing a new install of ubuntu, from the livecd gui
[01:51] <beezy> to use as root
[01:52] <Snowie> intrader: can you let the room know what adapter you have. post the output of $ lspci | grep VGA
[01:52] <Tizz> its using the standard broad com drivers for my network card if that helps at all
[01:53] <Tavor> Whenever someone can assist, I'm having an issue where my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04, seems to create a 'dead' zone where other devices (like my iPhone for instance or other laptop) cannot connect to the internet. I feel is this is an Ubuntu issue as my Winodws 7 partition does not offer this odd situation. Thanks for any assistance!
[01:54] <Snowie> Tavor: you mean like a wireless deadzone?
[01:54] <Tavor> Yes
[01:55] <Tavor> Whenever any other device gets in range of my laptop, with an active connection to my router, it automatically has issues loading anything
[01:55] <kalenjohnson> Tavor, that sounds like a voodoo problem :(
[01:56] <Tavor> Hm, uncertain of what means, I'll look into that then~
[01:56] <Snowie> Tavor: that's a new one to me sorry mate. I was thinking it might be an IP issue. I guess it's feasable somehting is misbehaving and turning the wifi strength way up, but.... *shrugs*
[01:56] <kalenjohnson> Tavor, voodoo as in crazy and weird
[01:56] <mOrO^>  #help
[01:56] <Tavor> OH, lol
[01:56] <Tavor> I see.

[02:08] <superkuh> I installed some libcairo2 packages from a PPA to try to compile some other software. But it didn't work out and now I want to switch back to the ones in the Ubuntu repos. But when I try to remove libcairo2 of the PPA all the depends (lots of Ubuntu) also must be removed. Is there a way to replace the packages now that I've removed the PPA from the sources list without breaking all the dependencies?
[02:08] <xangua> !ppa-purge | superkuh
[02:09] <tekkbuzz> jrib: techno would be my user name.
[02:09] <superkuh> Thanks, xangua.
[02:09] <Snowie> intrader: my advice was going to be to try an alternate driver, but i suspect you may have done that allready
[02:09] <tekkbuzz> jrib: I also did:  root	ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[02:10] <jrib> tekkbuzz: pastebin your /etc/sudoers.  How are you executing the command?
[02:10] <kuato-AR> hello, greetings from Argentina, i need some help with my kworld tv tunner and TVtime in ubuntu 12.10, i have sound and a lot of cable channels working but i can't tune some channels
[02:10] <obob> hello. i have my fqdn (server.example.com) does it need to actually return anything if you hit that url? right now it's just sending 404
[02:12] <superkuh> xangua, Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have ppa-purge.
[02:12] <intrader> Snowie, which beside the select should I try?

[02:13] <calmNchill> @ Atlantic777: it did some other stuff but game me the same error. Trying it from the network now
[02:13] <tekkbuzz> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5609568/
[02:14] <xangua> superkuh: did you read the link¿
[02:14] <jrib> tekkbuzz: and my question?
[02:14] <intrader> Snowie, sorry about flodding - here it is pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5609572/
[02:14] <tekkbuzz> a script, but it still asks for the password.
[02:15] <tekkbuzz> in ~/bin
[02:15] <jrib> tekkbuzz: what are you typing in your shell to run the command you are having trouble with?
[02:15] <superkuh> xangua, Sorry. I didn't. I have now. I see it has a package there. I'm installing it from lucid backports now (I hope).
[02:15] <kuato-AR> sorry to repeat, just adding more info to my problem description. i need some help with my kworld tv tunner (plus tv lite pci) saa7134 and TVtime in ubuntu 12.10, i have sound and a lot of cable channels working but i can't tune some channels
[02:16] <tekkbuzz> sudo togglenet ,   all it does is toggle the network on or off.
[02:16] <jrib> tekkbuzz: you probably need these NOPASSWD lines moved to the bottom of your sudoers file
[02:17] <tekkbuzz> k, I'll try that.
[02:17] <tekkbuzz> jrib: thanks
[02:18] <tekkbuzz> jrib: I'm so used to running Fedora as root, this Ubuntu trips me up sometimes.
[02:18] <jrib> tekkbuzz: well sudo -i will give you a root shell if you want...
[02:19] <tekkbuzz> jrib: yeah, but I was trying to make it into a button on the desktop.
[02:21] <zp>  hey i installed ubuntu 11.10 and during installation i updated to 12.04
[02:21] <zp>             and i have no battery icon on the system tray thing, ive googled this

[02:21] <zp>             checked it tried reinstalling indicator-power and tryed reinstalling
[02:22] <jrib> zp: if you repost this question *please* fix your formatting (make it all one line)
[02:22] <dr_willis> during install you  updated?  i dident think it worked that way...
[02:22] <dr_willis> if you  want to use 12.10 - i would install that directly
[02:22] <dr_willis> or 12.04
[02:23] <zp> jrib: sorry i typed this into the wrong channel eairlier and apposed to typing it again i pasted not knowing it would come out that way, it diddnt before. sorry about that
[02:23] <zp> should i retype it? jrib
[02:23] <kevinkace> for installing from USB, do you just copy the ISO to the USB drive?
[02:23] <pair0doc> the ubuntu installer is not seeing my partition table on a acer aspire one KAV60 same as this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2098731.html
[02:23] <jrib> zp: wouldn't hurt.  Just put it on one line
[02:23] <dr_willis> kevinkace:  no..  you have to use a special tool to put the iso on theusb
[02:23] <pair0doc> d2d is disabled and hard drive mode is achi
[02:24] <zp> kevinkace: either use xboot for windows or unetbootin in ubuntu
[02:24] <kevinkace> THANKS!!
[02:24] <kevinkace> knew I was doing something wrong
[02:24] <xangua> pair0doc: did you try to select the manual install option¿
[02:24] <dr_willis> kevinkace:  the pendrivelinux site has tools. and the ubuntu homepage has a tool or two mentioned as well

[02:25] <dr_willis> !install
[02:25] <pair0doc> xangua, I did not see that option on the non alternate install media.
[02:25] <superkuh> Alright. That fixed 2/3 of the problem. But ppa-purge apparently cannot remove the PPA, "ppa:vala-team" because it can't find the package list.
[02:25] <zp> hey i installed ubuntu 11.10 and during installtion i updated to 12.04 and i have no battery icon on the system tray thing, ive googled this and have tried multiple fixes to no anvil. in dconf-editor under con > cononical > indicator > power there is no icon-polict optoin but the show-time was there and unchecked, i cheched it tried reinstalling indicator-power and gnome-power-manager and tried rebooting after that and still no battery indicator,

[02:26] <radio> whats up
[02:26] <pair0doc> update: it is not even seeing my hard drive, just the flash drive I am using to install from.
[02:26] <radio> good
[02:27] <radio> put water on it now
[02:27] <radio> it should work just fine
[02:27] <OerHeks> stop trolling, radio
[02:27] <radio> not trolling
[02:27] <radio> its true
[02:28] <tekkbuzz> jrib: You Were Right, I can't thank you enough, I was pulling my hair out.
[02:28] <zp> can anyone help me?

[02:29] <jacktrick> yup

[02:29] <jacktrick> install debclean?
[02:29] <jacktrick> hm
[02:30]  * zp is very frusturated
[02:30] <dr_willis> zp:  why dont you install 12.04 directly - to eleminate that as  a source of the problem.
[02:30] <jacktrick> ^that
[02:30] <jacktrick> but maybe check the panel settings isntead of power settings
[02:30] <pair0doc> does the ubuntu install care if the controller is set in ide or achi mode in the bios?
[02:30] <zp> dr_willis: lol its the latest that will fit on a cd not dvd, no flash drives
[02:30] <holstein> zp: try as a new user as well.. make sure its not just your user config.. try 12.04 live first
[02:30] <tekkbuzz> jrib: No where did I see anything that said move the NOPASSWD to the bottom of the file., thanks.
[02:31] <zp> holstein: no live cd
[02:31] <holstein> !minimal | zp
[02:31] <OerHeks> pair0doc, yes, a SATA disk should be set to AHCI
[02:31] <dr_willis> zp:  12.04 fitrs on a cd...     12.10 does not - i belive
[02:31] <holstein> zp: live USB
[02:31] <zp> holstein: no flash drive, dr_willis thanks i will take a loook
[02:32] <holstein> zp: however you just installed 11.10, do that to 12.04
[02:32] <dr_willis> not having a flash  drive is like.... so   1980s
[02:32] <dr_willis> ;)
[02:33] <zp> holstein: install 12.04?
[02:33] <dr_willis> couldent come up with a better analogy. ;P
[02:33] <holstein> zp: sure.. or try it live if you can.. if you cant, reinstall, after testing your issues as a new user
[02:33] <jacktrick> dr_willis, agreed. I always lose mine though
[02:34] <dr_willis> i got mine all tied together like a necklace.. ;)
[02:34] <dr_willis> Nerd Bling
[02:34] <jacktrick> lol
[02:35] <pair0doc> the acer aspire one (KAV60) is on ubuntu s supported list. the 12.04 LTS installer is not seeing my hard drive any thoughts?
[02:35] <holstein> pair0doc: bad hard drive
[02:35] <omenreal> like a necklace... thats a great idea..
[02:35] <omenreal> my desk is almost made of flash drives
[02:36] <agrester> Got a quick question, how do I install 13.04 daily build, I'm running 12.04 but want to upgrade...
[02:37] <holstein> agrester: try #ubuntu+1 ..its not suggested that you use 13.04 yet
[02:37] <pair0doc> holstein, I don't think so. winbl0ws is working fine and am trying a reinstall after an upgrade from 10.04 failed. just got this netbook.
[02:37] <dr_willis> pair0doc:  check how its paartitioned also.. seen some cases where odd partioning schemes confuse the installer
[02:37] <holstein> pair0doc: test it and make sure.. the part that the windows operating system is on could be not failing (yet)
[02:39] <pair0doc> dr_willis, I did note that when it was running 10.04 it did have a compaq diagnostic partition. I will try a knoppix live usb and double check thou.
[02:39] <coldpizza72i> "Warning: Partition is misaligned by 512bytes"
[02:39] <Tavor> If anyone can assist: On my laptop, it is partitioned into Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. I have an issue where if I run Ubuntu 12.04 and connect it to my wireless network, nearby devices like my iPhone or another laptop will not be able to load any data while my Ubuntu is running. However, if I go to my Windows partition, no 'wifi hogging' occurs. Already tried loading earlier kernels, no avail.
[02:40] <omenreal> jacktrick: debclean is installed and i still get that same error
[02:40] <holstein> Tavor: try seeing what driver you are using, and use a different one if there is one
[02:40] <Degru> Tavor: Try going into system monitor and checking network usage. Is it showing anything?
[02:42] <coldpizza72i> what should i do
[02:42] <jacktrick> what steps did you take to build, omenreal?
[02:42] <Degru> coldpizza72i: um... is there an option to fix it?
[02:42] <jacktrick>  ./configure && make && make install
[02:42] <Tavor> holstein: I do not have another driver around, so I cannot test it. Degru: What kind of information are you curious about from the system monitor?
[02:42] <holstein> coldpizza72i: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30071/the-partition-is-misaligned-error-in-disk-utility-should-i-repartition
[02:42] <jacktrick> something like that?
[02:43] <holstein> Tavor: for my broadcom, i can use the open driver, or blacklist it and install the proprietary one.. is that the case for your hardware?
[02:43] <coldpizza72i> holstein: do i need a live cd if its not my main disk?
[02:44] <omenreal>  sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/quantal
[02:44] <Tavor> holstein: If I remember correctly, when I started Ubuntu 12.04, I used the the "Additional Drivers" application to install the driver
[02:44] <holstein> coldpizza72i: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150693/solve-a-partition-misalignment
[02:44] <holstein> !broadcom | Tavor this is what i refer to for my cards
[02:45] <jacktrick> omenreal, I'm not sure then, sorry
[02:45] <coldpizza72i> holstein: parted or gparted?
[02:46] <Degru> Tavor: Go into the resources section and look at the bottom to see network usage. Is it showing anything? If it is, then it could be an application.
[02:46] <holstein> coldpizza72i: i havent had that issue.. if it were me, i would want to have my data backed up, and just reformat likely.. but you can try fixing with one of those suggestions
[02:47] <coldpizza72i> holstein: theres no data on it
[02:47] <holstein> coldpizza72i: ? reformat then
[02:48] <coldpizza72i> holstein: how? by "Format Drive"?
[02:48] <holstein> coldpizza72i: i use gparted
[02:48] <holstein> !format
[02:48] <coldpizza72i> holstein: format volume or drive?
[02:48] <Degru> coldpizza72i: that would delete every partition on the drive.
[02:49] <coldpizza72i> Degru: only 1 part
[02:49] <holstein> coldpizza72i: if it were my drive, and there was *no* data on it, i would test.. and reformat
[02:49] <Tavor> holstein: Reading it and will take it into account after seeing what advice Degru also offers. Degru: Under Resources, it is showing (I presume?) the connection status of my laptop. Receiving 116~ bytes/Sending 0~bytes
[02:49] <Degru> coldpizza72i: If there's only one partition on the drive then do format drive
[02:50] <coldpizza72i> Degru: it doesnt help\
[02:50] <Degru> Tavor: What are the totals for sent/recieved data?
[02:50] <omenreal> jacktrick : do you think installing the driver without making the .deb package would cause any issues?
[02:50] <Degru> coldpizza72i: what do you mean?
[02:50] <pair0doc> dr_willis, except for sda1 being a compaq diagnostic partition it seems like a normal partition scheme.
[02:50] <coldpizza72i> doesnt fix problem
[02:50] <holstein> coldpizza72i: what doesnt?.. reformatting?
[02:51] <Tavor> Degru: Received Total: 2.3 MiB/Sent Total: 653.1KiB
[02:51] <coldpizza72i> holstein: yes
[02:51] <Degru> Tavor: THen it's a driver issue.
[02:51] <holstein> coldpizza72i: test the hard drive... i use the ultimate boot cd
[02:51] <Degru> Tavor: if it was an app it would show activity
[02:51] <holstein> Tavor: the other driver option is always the windows driver with ndisgtk.. but its usually not great
[02:52] <holstein> Tavor: should be a few other driver options at that link i gave..
[02:52] <Tavor> Okay, thanks then, I'll look into your link from earlier
[02:53] <Tavor> Quick question, what would be 'normal' activity?
[02:53] <Tavor> Assuming the driver wasn't having issues
[02:53] <omenreal> jacktrick: do you think installing the driver without making the .deb package would cause any issues? when running the installer with sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer*.run it gives the option to just install it should i take a whack at it?
[02:53] <thulsa_d00m> earlier, someone was helping me install icons and gave me a link to the forums, but the suggestions there were only for installing themes, not just icon sets. Can anyone help me with just the icon sets?
[02:53] <jacktrick> it's worth a try
[02:53] <jacktrick> can't do any harm :D
[02:54] <omenreal> other then making my screens go black again lol
[02:54] <jacktrick> heh
[02:54] <holstein> Tavor: you can turn off your wifi and wire up and see.. it'll be something like that i would imagine
[02:54] <omenreal> then uninstall time and back to the old drivers i guess
[02:54] <jacktrick> yeah
[02:54] <omenreal> Whelp here goes nothing~
[02:54] <Tavor> holstein: Oh, I see what you mean then, thanks!
[02:55] <SnapShot> I’m new to Linux love it! I just hope I don't mess it up . I'm like a blind man in a crystal shop.
[02:55] <mizz> I'm like a blind man in a crystal shop.  i like that
[02:55] <holstein> SnapShot: keep backups.. make a test user.. consider having a test install in virtualbox or on another machine. be ready to reinstall.. or leave it alone and dont break anything
[02:57] <xangua> thulsa_d00m: download them and extract them in home/youruser/.icons (if .icons doesn't exist create it, the sames as with gtk themes)
[02:57] <thulsa_d00m> honestly, breaking things is helping learn what to and not to do though
[02:57] <thulsa_d00m> me that is
[02:57] <omenreal> i think i have reinstalled 6 times after swapping from windows 3 days ago lol
[02:58] <dak0> I reinstalled my PC like 5 times until I make sucessful daul boot with windows and ubuntu
[02:58] <omenreal> step by step i WILL have a working linux box lol
[02:58] <omenreal> mine was first try on the dual boot thing
[02:58] <SnapShot> did you reinstal from a c
[02:58] <SnapShot> CD?
[02:58] <thulsa_d00m> xangua, .icons is present, and i've managed to move the icon pack to it, but i'm not sure what to do after that
[02:58] <holstein> SnapShot: i use usb sticks mostly.. but CD's work fine
[02:59] <SnapShot> ok great thnx
[02:59] <xangua> thulsa_d00m: select it with a tool like gnome-tweak-tool or ubuntu-tweak(the last is not in repositories)
[03:00] <thulsa_d00m> xangua, ok, i'll give that a shot, thanks
[03:01] <nailson> !ask what do you guys use to tweak compiz? i need mac like exposé, in past (ubuntu 11.10) i used ccsm, but it's terrible on 12.04.
[03:01] <holstein> nailson: i dont use it anymore
[03:02] <Degru> Tavor: Normal activity would be what you have on idle. It's a driver issue.
[03:02] <nailson> holstein, what you do not use? ubuntu or compiz?
[03:03] <holstein> nailson: compiz.. http://cairo-compmgr.tuxfamily.org/ was something i read about back when i thought i still wanted it
[03:03] <thulsa_d00m> xangua, if I right click on the folder, no other programs are shown as options to open the folder with
[03:03] <xangua> nailson: super+w is the default keyword to show alll windows, you can see more keywords if you keep Super pressed
[03:03] <holstein> nailson: "Add a mosaic (« exposé ») plugin that you can activate with <Super>Tab keys" from the cario stie
[03:03] <holstein> site*
[03:04] <holstein> nailson: last time i checked in unity, it was doing something like that by default, as thulsa_d00m suggests
[03:05] <nailson> thank you guys, it will help me a lot. i'll search more about it and try it now. Thanks again.

[03:10] <musaki_> I happen to be a linux noob and require a little assistance i am installing direct x9 and following a guide i found online. I need to put a couple of dll files i donwloaded into wine, what is the file structure in ubuntu eg if it was windows C:\windows\etc
[03:10] <holstein> musaki_: why?
[03:11] <musaki_> if you are asking why i am trying to install direct x, trying to get the walking dead to work
[03:13] <holstein> musaki_: it might not.. i would look in #wine-hq
[03:14] <Degru> musaki_: Go in your home folder, and go into the .wine folder. (It's hidden, press ctrl-h) Then go in drive_c and that's where it is
[03:15] <raj> if I modify gconf-editor, do I need to reboot or something?
[03:15] <raj> how do I get the keys to work?
[03:16] <musaki_> Thanks thats what i needed
[03:21] <dzup> after i bios in uefi ...how can i boot ubuntu?
[03:21] <Fare> I'm trying to build a .deb -- I used to have a working git-buildpackage command one or two year back on debian, but it won't work now on ubuntu.

[03:23] <Fare> gbp:error: Unknown value 2.32
[03:23] <Fare> where 2.32 is the git tag of my release
[03:23] <MDTech-us_MAN> I have a problem with my Ubuntu 12.10 install, my system says it needs to start in low graphics mode and when I keep pressing OK I get to a terminal-style screen and get a login prompt.
[03:24] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: I think that is low graphics mode?
[03:24] <MDTech-us_MAN> what info do you need to diagnose?
[03:24] <coventry> Any guesses as to why running "virtualbox" from the CL (with or without capitalization) results in virtualbox reporting that all my VMs are inaccessible, while running it via the menu results in normal behavior?  (I do have "~/VirtualBox VMs" as a symlink to another drive, but I'm not sure how that would cause this issue.)
[03:24] <MDTech-us_MAN> when I login, I get the prompt
[03:25] <MDTech-us_MAN> no gui
[03:25] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: So you get a normal login window, but not a graphical session?
[03:25] <dzup> Fare, can you : sudo apt-get install lshw; sudo lshw -html|curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us <--said?
[03:26] <CowboyPride> Is this the place to get support for ubuntu server as well?
[03:26] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: SO. You boot up, and get a normal login screen, and then when you type in your password and press login you go into a fullscreen terminal?
[03:27]  * evilroots is away: I'm busy
[03:27] <MDTech-us_MAN> no, I get "login:" I type my login, then I get "Password: " and type my password, then I get "<USERNAME>@<HOSTNAME>:"
[03:27] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: Sounds like a graphics driver issue
[03:27] <MDTech-us_MAN> do you need any build-specific info?
[03:27] <fuhreal> is there any easy way to get a pannel shortcut on the unity favorites bar?
[03:27] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: Oh, so no GUI login at all, just terminal login. I think it's a driver/Xorg issue.
[03:28] <MDTech-us_MAN> correct
[03:28] <MDTech-us_MAN> so hat do I do?
[03:28] <MDTech-us_MAN> *what
[03:28] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: Not sure. Type lspci and post the output on pastebin
[03:28] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: well; that's gonna be kinda hard
[03:28] <MDTech-us_MAN> Sir, yes, sir
[03:29] <MDTech-us_MAN> going to try
[03:29] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: type "lspci | less" and then see if you can find your graphics card there
[03:32] <Fare> dzup: what is that meant to do?
[03:33] <MDTech-us_MAN> I sent the output to file and will now copy it via FTP

[03:37] <Fare> where do I get help making a package?
[03:37] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: OK
[03:37] <MDTech-us_MAN> so any luck?
[03:38] <ahmed_> join #twisted
[03:38] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: just got back. I'm looking through it now.
[03:39] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: This is a fresh install, correct?
[03:40] <MDTech-us_MAN> yep
[03:40] <MDTech-us_MAN> I just finished configuring it
[03:40] <MDTech-us_MAN> installed VMWare, Windows 8, Windows 7
[03:41] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: looking...
[03:41] <MDTech-us_MAN> Windows is a vM
[03:41] <MDTech-us_MAN> VM
[03:42] <kalenjohnson> is IN a VM?
[03:42] <kalenjohnson> or is that incorrect?
[03:42] <MDTech-us_MAN> yes
[03:43] <MDTech-us_MAN> I have 2 VMs, one Windows 8, one Windows 7
[03:43] <coventry> If anyone responded to my question a few minutes ago, my apologies.  I got cut off, and it seems that my question has not yet made it to the logs at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/03/13/%23ubuntu.html
[03:44] <kalenjohnson> lol, I have Win7, WinXP, another 7, Ubuntu server, Arch, Fuduntu, ubuntu 13.04
[03:44] <Degru> MDTech-us_MAN: What type of graphics card does it have?
[03:44] <kalenjohnson> I don't use them everyday, just an easy way to test them
[03:44] <MDTech-us_MAN> Built in
[03:45] <fetzy> Does anyone know if i can install xubuntu if i already have ubuntu installed?
[03:45] <MDTech-us_MAN> Mobo is: ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
[03:45] <kalenjohnson> fetzy, if you install it to a different partition...
[03:45] <zz28fb> yes
[03:46] <holstein> fetzy: theres xubuntu-desktop and xfce4.. you can install either
[03:46] <fetzy> it wont delete it off of my hard drive? i dont have enough ram to run ubuntu very well, so i want to use xubuntu and get rid of ubuntu. but everytime i try to install xubuntu it doesnt work
[03:47] <holstein> fetzy: what wont delete what?
[03:47] <holstein> !xubuntu
[03:47] <holstein> !xfce
[03:47] <fetzy> oh i see.... hmm ok
[03:47] <copec> Does anyone here know if the ubuntu 8.04 server kernel had pae support?
[03:48] <holstein> !pae
[03:48] <holstein> copec: i dont recall when that came out, but i though it was 9.x
[03:49] <codrus> in 12.10 how do you shutdown using commandline? sudo shutdown -h now doesn't work and there's no root to su into
[03:49] <copec> I have an old server, and I'm curious if I give it more memory if it is going to do any good.  thanks for the info
[03:49]  * MDTech-us_MAN IS STILL WAITING
[03:49] <holstein> codrus: i use "sudo shutdown -h now"
[03:50] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: on what?
[03:50] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: one of the volunteers to help?
[03:50] <MDTech-us_MAN>  I have a problem with my Ubuntu 12.10 install, my system says it needs to start in low graphics mode and when I keep pressing OK I get to a terminal-style screen and get a login prompt.
[03:50] <MDTech-us_MAN> Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
[03:51] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i would look into the graphics driver
[03:51] <holstein> !ati | MDTech-us_MAN
[03:51] <MDTech-us_MAN> It is a built-in card
[03:51] <MDTech-us_MAN> it worked before!
[03:51] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i would consider using a custom xorg.conf.. sometimes i use a knoppix live cd to create one for me
[03:51] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: before what?
[03:52] <MDTech-us_MAN> a hour of two ago
[03:52] <MDTech-us_MAN> I restarted because I installed some programs
[03:52] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: the computer wont care about the time.. what occured before the breakage?
[03:53] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: one easy thing to do is boot an older kernel.. reboot and select it from grub
[03:53] <MDTech-us_MAN> I dont see any more
[03:54] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: did you take a kernel upgrade? do you have an xorg.conf? did you install a driver?
[03:54] <MDTech-us_MAN> I didn't install anything
[03:54] <celso> hi people! someone know how to report a bug of firefox using the bug report of ubuntu? i mean, i am using firefox and instead of using the icon that is in the launcher, it opens another.
[03:54] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: what did you do that broke it?
[03:54] <MDTech-us_MAN> I installed VMWare,teamviewer
[03:55] <holstein> !bug
[03:55] <celso> thanks! i didn't know that! thanks alot!
[03:55] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: you installed 2 pieces of software, and rebooted, and its broken?
[03:55] <MDTech-us_MAN> I was configuring the VMs and the screen got bugged up
[03:55] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: in what way?
[03:55] <MDTech-us_MAN> so I restarted
[03:56] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: maybe its broken hardware.. i might try the live CD that worked before
[03:56] <MDTech-us_MAN> The focus was kept in the VM
[03:56] <MDTech-us_MAN> and the mouse stopped working
[03:56] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: so, the VMware player got all "bugged up" ?
[03:57] <MDTech-us_MAN> correct
[03:57] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: thats not from the repos, correct?
[03:57] <MDTech-us_MAN> nope
[03:57] <MDTech-us_MAN> It is closed-sourced
[03:57] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i would confirm (however you like) that the hardware is not broken.. i would consider making a custom xorg.conf
[03:57] <MDTech-us_MAN> but free
[03:57] <fuhreal> Does anyone know how I can get a custom launcher from the desktop to the favorites bar?
[03:57] <MDTech-us_MAN> how?
[03:58] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: how for which?
[03:58] <MDTech-us_MAN> "i would consider making a custom xorg.conf"
[03:58] <holstein> fuhreal: in unity? you want a launcher with the favorites?
[03:58] <MDTech-us_MAN> how?
[03:59] <fuhreal> holstein: Well, in gnome I think it would be called a panel launcher?
[03:59] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i use a knoppix live CD.. then i just grab it from there and use it in ubuntu. you can start from scratch, or use the graphics recovery kernel (that im sure you tried before coming here)
[03:59] <fuhreal> holstein: basically want to create an eterm shortcut
[03:59] <holstein> fuhreal: in unity?
[03:59] <fuhreal> holstein: ya
[03:59] <MDTech-us_MAN> I didn't
[04:00] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: try that. then try the xorg.
[04:00] <MDTech-us_MAN> it there a toutorial?
[04:00] <holstein> fuhreal: you can create custom launcher in unity. http://askubuntu.com/questions/71047/adding-a-custom-launcher-to-unity
[04:01] <fuhreal> eek
[04:01] <fuhreal> holstein: yes... read that ... but couldn't wrap my head around it
[04:02] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: you just select it at boot... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[04:02] <holstein> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1968492
[04:02] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: that specifically mentions your error ^^
[04:03] <MDTech-us_MAN> I am logging in wsing a different kernel
[04:03] <MDTech-us_MAN> everything is fine
[04:03] <MDTech-us_MAN> so how do I make that the dafault kernel?
[04:03] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: right.. so, just boot that kernel then.. you took a kernel upgrade and that is breaking your graphics
[04:04] <MDTech-us_MAN> I know this is a temorary soloution
[04:04] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: you can change the order in grub.. youcan remove the other kernels.. you can select it each time you boot.
[04:04] <omenreal> how can i fix Unmet build dependencies: libqtgui4?
[04:04] <MDTech-us_MAN> so what is the soloution
[04:04] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: just boot the kernel that is working.. file a bug
[04:05] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i wouldnt worry much about runing an older kernel
[04:05] <MDTech-us_MAN> how do I remove the other kernels?
[04:05] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: search for them in the package manager of your choice and remove them
[04:06] <MDTech-us_MAN> By the way, I got the full error mesage
[04:06] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: you can add it to the bug report
[04:07] <MDTech-us_MAN> and it is asking me to send it to Ubuntu
[04:08] <MDTech-us_MAN> so to switck to the older kernel permenently, I should remove the latest linux-headers?
[04:09] <MDTech-us_MAN> *switch
[04:09] <omenreal> how can i fix Unmet build dependencies: libqtgui4?
[04:10] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i gave you a few options.. i would just remove the kernel that is "bad" and keep checking back on it occasionally
[04:10] <MDTech-us_MAN> any ideas?
[04:10] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: yes.. you can remove it, or change the order in grub.. or just deal with it at boot
[04:10] <MDTech-us_MAN> what is the name of the kernel pakage
[04:10] <tigrang> omenreal, install it?
[04:10] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: its the one that you boot that causes the issues
[04:11] <MDTech-us_MAN> I mean the exact package name
[04:11] <tigrang> omenreal, sudo apt-get build-dep [the package you're trying to build]
[04:11] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: if you are uncertain.. just deal with it as-is.. maybe just turn off the timer for grub and the grub hiding
[04:11] <omenreal> tigrang: ty ill try that
[04:11] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: the name is whatever kernel you are using that is causing the issues
[04:11] <MDTech-us_MAN> if I search for kernel, I get a ton of tesults in synaptic
[04:12] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: i would put them in order, and see if its the newest one.. or leave it as-is and just deal with it in grub at boot time
[04:12] <c4nuck> say i wanted to run "hddtemp" which requires superuser as a regular user. I could use sudo but since its in a script i don't want to have to enter a password. How would i go about running it as a regular user ?
[04:12] <holstein> MDTech-us_MAN: a fix could come along...

[04:18] <TheEmpath2> hi.  any reason scp works at the cli but when you put the exact same command in a shell, it says... i kid you not... ": Permission deniedr"?
[04:18] <tigrang> c4nuck, try this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=576170#p576170
[04:18] <TheEmpath2> yeah, deniedR... not denied o____O
[04:18] <dr_willis> at the cli.. and in a shell... mean the same thing to me..
[04:18] <TheEmpath2> derp, when oyu put the exact same command in a SCRIPT
[04:18] <dr_willis> ok. ;)
[04:18] <TheEmpath2> sory :(
[04:18] <dr_willis> err.. the error is with the  script?  not the scp command perhaps.
[04:19] <dr_willis> ie: your script is not written correctly perhaps
[04:19] <TheEmpath2> its literally lifted off the cli copy and paste
[04:19] <tigrang> omenreal, which is? I dont know what you're doing
[04:19] <dr_willis> sample script..
[04:19] <dr_willis> #!/bin/bash
[04:19] <dr_willis> scp --help
[04:19] <dr_willis> just the 2 lines..

[04:20] <dr_willis> how are youmaking the script also? what editor?
[04:21] <TheEmpath2> bash: ./deploy.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[04:21] <smuxi> hi
[04:21] <TheEmpath2> lol @ ^M?
[04:21] <dr_willis> as i asked.. HOW are you  making the script.. what editor
[04:21]  * dr_willis guesses notepad.exe
[04:22] <TheEmpath2> eclipse
[04:22]  * smuxi looks around
[04:22] <smuxi> o/
[04:22] <dr_willis> its using the wrong end of line encoding.. adding a ctrl-m when it shouldent
[04:22] <TheEmpath2> even when i use vim, it's not showing the ^M
[04:22] <TheEmpath2> all kinds of other scripts i've written with eclipse work just fine
[04:22] <dr_willis> its a whitespace.. so not seen/shown
[04:23] <dr_willis> some editors can show the whitespace.
[04:23] <dr_willis> write the same script with nano/vim  see if it works.
[04:23] <TheEmpath2> even if i write it in vim, i get the same error

[04:24] <stevenq> I'm trying to get l2tp over ipsec running on my 12.04 server and I followed this guide https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/IPSEC_L2TP_vpn_with_Ubuntu_12.10.html but my client can't connect
[04:24] <TheEmpath2> dr_willis: default ubuntu?
[04:25] <dr_willis> TheEmpath2:  you got somthjing mesing with your text encoding. or adding extra whitespace.
[04:25] <TheEmpath2> yeah, that was it
[04:25] <TheEmpath2> i burned the file, sanitzied, and it works
[04:25] <dr_willis> seen it happen if you save  to msdos/vfat/ntfs partitons
[04:25] <TheEmpath2> thank you, guru
[04:25] <dr_willis> Burned?
[04:25] <TheEmpath2> dr_willis++
[04:25] <TheEmpath2> deleted it
[04:26] <judahitewarrior7> Can anyone help?
[04:26] <TheEmpath2> i think i copied the command off the web somewhere :X
[04:26] <dr_willis> if you cut/pasted.. it may  have added the whitespace
[04:27] <dr_willis> vim might have seen the whitespace and enabled  the other encoding scheme
[04:27] <zz28fb> i had some problem installing Gnu linux trisquel mini_5.5_i686 on my acer yes
[04:28] <dr_willis> whats trisquel?

[04:30] <zz28fb> yes
[04:30] <zz28fb> ist good
[04:30] <hylian> I was trying to think of the command for alis, for showing the channels available. why in the world I typed ls... well.
[04:30] <dr_willis> whats trisquel? if  its some linux disrto.. i imagine it has its own support channels.. its not supported by this  channel
[04:31] <judahitewarrior7> Can anyone help me get GRUB off my HD?
[04:31] <omenreal> tigrang: This is the exact issue im getting now http://pastebin.com/WGuwrimM
[04:31] <hylian> dr_willis: never heard of it.
[04:31] <zz28fb> yes i think is based on ubuntu or something like Gnu gnu not unix ?
[04:32] <dr_willis> judahitewarrior7:  one normally installs a differnt bootloader over grub.. or therea a dd command to blank the first few bytes of the hd  where it lives
[04:32] <judahitewarrior7> I'm trying to reinstall Windows 8 on my computer from a bootable flash drive. Formatted hard drive to NTFS, now I can't finish Windows 8 installation because GRUB gives me an error 17, can anyone help, please?
[04:32] <zz28fb> https://trisquel.info
[04:32] <dr_willis> judahitewarrior7:  you may want to ask in #windows if you  are totally removeing linux.
[04:32] <hylian> i have a quandry.. how come xubuntu isn't supported here, but ubuntu with xfce4 installed and running instead of unity is??
[04:33] <dr_willis> hylian:  xubuntu is supported here
[04:33] <dr_willis> and it has its own channel
[04:33] <bcbc2> judahitewarrior7: boot to a windows repair prompt and run: bootrec /fixmbr
[04:33] <tigrang> omenreal, are you running it as root?
[04:33] <hylian> dr_willis: ohh, i could have sworn someone said i should go to the nearly defunct xubuntu room for xubuntu questions...
[04:33] <omenreal> tigrang: mhm running with sudo sh
[04:33] <brocaol> hello. does my FQDN ex: server.example.com need to return anything when you hit the url? right now it just returns 404
[04:34] <dr_willis> hylian:  they may  know more about xubuntu.. if someone is there.
[04:34] <hylian> dr_willis: it looks like trisquel is a ubuntu precise remake with specialized software..
[04:34] <Laogeodritt> zz28fb: Pretty much every OS distro called "Linux" is GNU/Linux. Linux is the kernel, GNU is all the system utilities on top of it. (Someone feel free to correct me if that's not exact.) Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux distro, not the other way around.
[04:34] <judahitewarrior7> bcbc2: OK, thanks. How do I get to the Windows repair prompt?
[04:35] <tigrang> omenreal, whats the full command you're doing
[04:36] <omenreal> tigrang: sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer*.run --buildphg Ubuntu/quantal
[04:36] <omenreal> tigrang: --buildpkg sorry typo heh
[04:37] <dannyLopez> Hi
[04:38] <bcbc2> judahitewarrior7: I would assume it's an option on the installer or run any windows repair cd
[04:38] <hylian> Laogeodritt: no, that's righ on the money man. I just refuse to call it gnu/linux every time I mention it.
[04:38] <zz28fb> i think gnu was first from 87 or something then 91 linux came
[04:38] <hylian> dannyLopez: hello
[04:40] <dannyLopez> what live usb reator recommends me?
[04:40] <dr_willis> dannyLopez:  dozen of them at the  pendrivelinux  site.
[04:40] <hylian> dannyLopez: I use unetbootin, myself.
[04:40] <dr_willis> dannyLopez:  ubuntu  has one. ubuntu.com has one for windows.   and most likely a dozenothers out there as well. ;)
[04:41] <dannyLopez> I dont know this place tkx
[04:41] <dr_willis> type in 'pendrivelinux' on your browser and look.
[04:41] <tigrang> omenreal, try sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack libqtgui4
[04:41] <tigrang> omenreal, then install the driver
[04:41] <hylian> dr_willis: was he asking for a preffered iso to usb key utility, or where to get a certain distro?
[04:42] <zz28fb> apt-get install unetbootin
[04:42] <dannyLopez> I use LiLi, but only in somes pc works
[04:42] <tigrang> omenreal, also do sudo apt-get build-dep fglrx
[04:42] <dannyLopez> I am in Windows :D
[04:42] <dr_willis> I find lili to  be rather  annoying... unetbootin has also had issues for me in the past.
[04:42] <omenreal> tigrang: all of the things in that first command are already there newest version
[04:43] <tigrang> omenreal, try the build-dep command, any  new packages?
[04:43] <zz28fb> windows gives you windows Linux give you the hole house
[04:43] <omenreal> tigrang: yes... so just install them and give it a shot?
[04:44] <tigrang> omenreal, I guess :)
[04:44] <omenreal> tigrang: I had the old 12.9 drivers.. but some of my games would not run
[04:45] <hylian> i have found that if you are going to use unetbootin, it's best to delete all files off of the usb key before using it. (and going as far as formatting the key isn't a bad idea either...)
[04:45] <dannyLopez> I found "universal-USB-installer"
[04:45] <omenreal> tigrang: and thank you for your work toward my problem regardless of if this fixed it
[04:45] <dannyLopez> thanks :D
[04:47] <tigrang> omenreal, which version are you trying to install now
[04:47] <zz28fb> i cant install any thing on trisquel-mini_5.5 i think i have to download allt from Netherlands or France because it don't work on us server
[04:47] <omenreal> tigrang: 13.1
[04:47] <zz28fb> or somthing
[04:47] <hylian> zz28fb: have you sudo apt-get update?
[04:48] <mpaiva> I'm instaling QTCreator from Ubuntu, and I got the message: If you install QTCreator, future updates will not include new items in the Ubuntu Desktop... (Between affected, Amarok, Codeblocks, Filezilla). Does it mean i won't get updates for these apps?
[04:48] <xangua> zz28fb: /join #trisquel
[04:48] <zz28fb> i can try
[04:49] <omenreal_> tigrang: still here btw jumped on my laptop while i restart
[04:49] <tigrang> omenreal_, that's generally not a good idea
[04:50] <hylian> mpaiva: never messed with that program, but I don't see how that could be unless it directly messes with kde? (you said amarok, and that's a kde app...)
[04:50] <omenreal_> tigrang: hmm?
[04:50] <tigrang> jumping on laptops
[04:50] <zz28fb> yes 1 thing i just love this place you don't have to give out phone number like google and name and more that i think is a security risk or som je
[04:50] <tigrang> (was a joke)
[04:50] <omenreal_> tigrang: lol i get it now... sorry a little focused heh
[04:50] <hylian> zz28fb: I am glad to hear it.
[04:52] <zz28fb> hej då
[04:52] <genese> hey folks, do u have some information about sandybridge in the next version of ubuntu?
[04:52] <omenreal> tigrang: http://pastebin.com/by9sgqj1
[04:52] <omenreal> tigrang: not sure if its the same as the last but thats what im getting now
[04:53] <hylian> genese: whether sandybridge will be supported or?
[04:53] <m000gle> Using Ubuntu 12.10, is there any way to minimize or close Thunderbird to the Unity Messaging Menu? This would be similar to the way Empathy functions by default.
[04:54] <hylian> m000gle: sorry, I use xfce...
[04:54] <genese> I think now, sandybridge works but not in all the fullest speed
[04:55] <genese> yeah hylian, I just searching info to the next version
[04:55] <genese> I'm using it now, and works fine after install mesa-utils
[04:56] <hylian> genese: I think the best answer is from this askubuntu article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/22237/when-will-we-get-sandy-bridge-support. It's "buggy but operational" seems to be the phrase everyone is reaching for.
[04:56] <m000gle> hylian:  That's cool.  Hopefully someone here, using Unity, has a solution to this ... It kind of defeats the point of a Messaging Menu, if programs don't close/minimize to it
[04:56] <leandro> does anyone know why by changing the mouse pointer theme it dissapears on lubuntu?  (the mouse cursor dissapears while moving)  thanks
[04:56] <aranhoide> I have an application that launches an instance of google chrome in "app" mode and I'd like to change its icon to the icon of my app, instead of the generic chrome icon.  is there any way I can do that?
[04:56] <mpaiva> @hylian the others are not kde... QTCreator is the IDE that most KDE Devs use for development (since they use the QT framework)
[04:57] <mpaiva> @hylian I installed anyway, hope nothing gets messy here ==P
[04:57] <omenreal> tigrang: any ideas?
[04:57] <aranhoide> (this is in Unity, 12.04 LTS)
[04:57] <genese> thanks hilian =]
[04:57] <genese> *hylian
[04:59] <tigrang> omenreal, have the version you know that works ready. Uninstall the current version. Then try installing the new one. You should feel comfortable going into rescue mode if after restart it fails to boot. That's what I'd try, but I dont know what the issue is.
[04:59] <aranhoide> (and by "its icon" I mean the icon in the Unity dock)
[04:59] <hylian> leandro: hmm, not a clue. I haven't used lubuntu in quite a while, I like xfce much better. But I never had the mouse dissapear on me using lxde...
[04:59] <tigrang> omenreal, If it fails, reinstall the version you know that works
[04:59] <krispin> hi,my laptop is not detecting network eventhough the ethernet cable is plugged in ,also the lights on the port are not lighting up ,can someone help me?
[05:00] <leandro> hylian: thanks anyways, i've read of some people that had the same issue on ubuntu, kubuntu, etc, but i have no idea why it is
[05:01] <genese> @krispin, can you tell me what ethernet card r u using?
[05:01] <hylian> krispin: if you run sudo lshw, and then post that using the pastebin link on top right, people can help you better.
[05:01] <omenreal> tigrang: the problem is without making the .deb files im not sure how it will work... it does have an option to just install right to the system but looking at the wiki for amd it says to make he .deb files should i just wing it?
[05:02] <tigrang> omenreal, not sure
[05:02] <hylian> sorry all, need to crash. good night.

[06:25] <marcmarc> Hi, I updated Ubuntu 12.04 -> 12.10 and now most of the icons and theming is gone. My .xsession-errors looks like http://dpaste.com/1021375/

[06:26] <dward> xangua what do you mean?
[06:26] <xangua> !info dracut | dward
[06:27] <marcmarc> serp__ I read mime types could be the issue. Any clues on how to fix things?
[06:29] <dr_willis> reset all your user settings is one way marcmarc
[06:29] <marcmarc> dr_willis how do I do that?
[06:30] <marcmarc> dr_willis: I tried creating a new user and logging in. The new user has the same issues.
[06:30] <dr_willis> move/rename the proper    .files  in your Homer
[06:30] <Hyperiant> dr_willis: I'm trying to install fglrx, Ubuntu is unusable with the default drivers
[06:30] <Hyperiant> Every time I do, though, it stops displaying Unity
[06:30] <dr_willis> not sure how you would mess up mime types ststem wide..
[06:31] <dward> xangua ya thanks, i know the package exists. but it's in the sam slot as initramfs-tools. which i don't want to uninstall. i would like to use dracut to compile ram images for other systems and initramfs-tools when I update my kernel on this system
[06:31] <dr_willis> Hyperiant:  i see people in here with the same problem several times a day/week.. sadly
[06:32] <dr_willis> compiz/unity dosent properly  see/use the  3d drivers so only loads part of the  desktop
[06:32] <Hyperiant> Thing is, it worked fine on 32-bit
[06:32] <Vivekananda> hello everyone and dr_willis
[06:32] <Hyperiant> I reinstalled Ubuntu as 64-bit and only then did it start doing this
[06:33] <Vivekananda> I have a friend currently installing ubuntu and he is running windows 64 bit but when he is trying to install ubuntu it is asking him to download 32 bit
[06:33] <Vivekananda> why could this be?
[06:33] <dr_willis> Vivekananda:  what is asking him?
[06:33] <dr_willis> he can go  to the ubuntu.com site/servers and download whatever one he wants..
[06:33] <Hyperiant> Just download 64-bit anyway, the 32-bit is only recommended on the website by default
[06:34] <Hyperiant> Because most PCs still use it
[06:34] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: He is trying to install ubuntu using windows installer and tried to download the 64 bit installer but it asked him to get the 32 bit. I am not near him and on top of that he is not very tech savvy so please bear with me
[06:34] <Vivekananda> I will try to ask him and get the answers
[06:34] <Hyperiant> Oh, wubi
[06:34] <dr_willis> Vivekananda:  the windows installer is using WUBI.. thats 32bit only  i belive
[06:35] <dr_willis> i  suggest NOT using wubi
[06:35] <dr_willis> if you must use wubi.. then do as it suggests
[06:35] <Hyperiant> Wubi is only if he wants to dual-boot, and in a very limited way at that
[06:35] <dr_willis> 1WUBI
[06:35] <dr_willis> !wubi
[06:35] <Vivekananda> I knew it was wubi!! but I got confused when he said that
[06:36] <aeon-ltd> does wubi get around secure booting? if not there's no point in wubi
[06:36] <Vivekananda> it is allowing him a dual boot so I thought wubi must now have a full fledged installer and I did not know about it
[06:36] <dr_willis> wubi uses the windows stuff to doal boot.. not the same as normal install
[06:36] <dr_willis> wubi does not have a full fledged installer.
[06:37] <dr_willis> it does a 'wubi boot' ;)
[06:38] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: Now the crux of the matter is that he is has to run a medical program and that is very resource intensive but limitations of using linux
[06:38] <Vivekananda> medical software I mean
[06:38] <Vivekananda> and he mistakenly installed 12.1 and it was crashing a lot for him and he said it is very slow too
[06:39] <dr_willis> 12.10 is very stable and not slow for me...
[06:39] <dr_willis> installed 12.10 HOW exacctly?
[06:39] <Vivekananda> now I figure he installed 12.1 using wubi. I advised him to try
[06:39] <dr_willis> a wubi install will be slower then a full install
[06:39] <Vivekananda> 12.04 ( that is the lts too and I thought it would be good advise for him)
[06:39] <Vivekananda> he is trying to do that
[06:40] <ch1p53t> ur having an argument??
[06:40] <dr_willis> depending on the software - he may  just want to try Lubuntu inside virtualbox.. if that software  is the only thing he needs to run
[06:40] <dr_willis> and dependoing on what the software is doing..
[06:41] <Vivekananda> it is a brain mapping medical software
[06:41] <Vivekananda> :)
[06:42] <dr_willis> so it has special hardware is uses?
[06:42] <Vivekananda> and not possible for a virtual box coz the
[06:42] <Vivekananda> here it is http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SystemRequirements
[06:42] <dr_willis> id say try a full install of 12.04 then.
[06:43] <dr_willis> he may want to use lubuntu - since it will be less resource  intensive
[06:43] <Vivekananda> it requires as you can see what it does and my friend has 3 gigs of ram and - it's running intel core 2 duo
[06:43] <Vivekananda> E8400 @ 3 GHz
[06:43] <Vivekananda> 3 gb RAM
[06:44] <frustro> so, gonna try a uefi install
[06:44] <BobbyShaftoe> Hi Guise
[06:44] <frustro> asrock990
[06:44] <BobbyShaftoe> someone that could help me? ... V4l2 issues :( already spent 4 hours on google and nothing
[06:44] <Vivekananda> and the graphics is a decent one
[06:45] <BobbyShaftoe> I am able to set a fake video device... /dev/video1 but... Firefox or chrome are not recognizing it
[06:45] <BobbyShaftoe> it just takes my webcam
[06:45] <dr_willis> Hmm. Fake video device? ive used 'webcamstudio' ages ago for that sort of task....
[06:45] <frustro> adjust flash global settings for what yo use as an input?
[06:46] <dr_willis> flash can be a pain with its webcam access
[06:46] <BobbyShaftoe> yeah I did frustro but no luck :(
[06:46] <BobbyShaftoe> webcamstudio sucks :(
[06:46] <dr_willis> i found it quiet handy when i used it.
[06:46] <BobbyShaftoe> it cannot play some .avi files or actually any file without sound
[06:46] <frustro> out of ideas then BobbyShaftoe
[06:46] <frustro> good luck.
[06:47] <BobbyShaftoe> this is what I am doing but without luck ... gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=spiderman.avi ! avidemux ! decodebin ! ffmpegcolorspace ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video1
[06:47] <BobbyShaftoe> and I am able to see it if i do:   gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw-rgb,depth=24' ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink
[06:47] <dr_willis> so  the whole point of this is to play a video over a webcam  stream to some friends?
[06:47] <BobbyShaftoe> but not on firefox or chrome :(
[06:48] <BobbyShaftoe> just thinking about scaring my GF lol
[06:49] <BobbyShaftoe> but webcamstudio is not playing files without sound
[06:49] <dr_willis> or it just dosent know the  sound codec used by  that file
[06:49] <dr_willis> been  ages since i last used  it.
[06:49] <BobbyShaftoe> there is no sound codec on the file since it has no sound at all
[06:50] <BobbyShaftoe> it is just a loop
[06:50] <dr_willis> add some sound?
[06:51] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:51] <BobbyShaftoe> yeah it works like that lol but man... I feel too lazy to be adding sound everytime I try it

[07:03] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: does a wubi install automatically resize the hard drive ? It is so difficult to help him install ubuntu long distance !! I dont want to mess his system up especially when he might have one of those recovery partitions and all
[07:03] <gabkdlly> prabhu123: Maybe your work location uses a virtual private network ?
[07:03] <Vivekananda> I can suggest gparted to him but again I am kind of hoping I dont leave giving an instruction that would later mess it up
[07:04] <gabkdlly> Vivekananda: no
[07:05] <gabkdlly> Vivekananda: Wubi writes Ubuntu to one large file which lives on the Windows partition.
[07:05] <Vivekananda> yuck
[07:05] <Vivekananda> so now gparted and all that
[07:05] <gabkdlly> Vivekananda: Wubi does not repartition, no.
[07:05] <Vivekananda> gabkdlly: So when I ask him to resize and all will that be okay with gparted and
[07:06] <Vivekananda> if he has that recover partition along with windows ?
[07:07] <gabkdlly> Vivekananda: Wait, now I am confused, you are doing a wubi install, but you are doing something with a recovery partition ?
[07:10] <mandoguit> Vivekananda:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29        the wubi install should not touch the recovery/windows install partition as it installs all relevent software into the main windows partition.... as far as windows is concerned it's just another program along with associated files that has been installed inside of it
[07:12] <kimk_> Hi. I've a problem with ubuntu.
[07:12] <pratz> Hello guys
[07:12] <kimk_> I know this is not the best place to ask as it's not vanilla ubuntu (but then again who uses unity?)
[07:12] <kimk_> anyway, onto the problem at hand.
[07:13] <kimk_> the problem is that my taskbar icons completely corrupt (into a weird mess of pixels) after banshee has been running for random number of hours.
[07:14] <Vivekananda> gabkdlly: No. I recommended my friend to go for a full fledged fresh install of ubuntu using a install cd. For this he will need to  (as you know) repartition the drive and shrink the windows partition to create space for ubuntu
[07:14] <kimk_> i've googled it a few times and came across a lone post that said something about a package version needing to be rolled back in ubuntu, but i've since then not been able to find the post again.
[07:14] <Vivekananda> Now I have an old computer and have no clue how the partitions are arranged in a windows 7 computer and also how the recovery space is arranged. I have a simple xp computer so I just shrink the xp partition and install ubuntu
[07:15] <Vivekananda> but not sure how this will work in his case so I wanted to ask you guys to guide me
[07:15] <kimk_> i'm running ubuntu 12.10, cinnamon, and banshee and/or its interactions with the system is the probable root cause.

[08:14] <gabkdlly> zetheroo: Have you done any updates recently ?  LTS is now at 12.04.2
[08:15] <zetheroo> gabkdlly: I do updates as they come in ... nearly every day ... but this issue has been there since months
[08:16] <zetheroo> I too am wondering why I am not at 12.04.2 yet
[08:16] <gabkdlly> zetheroo: In that case, it sounds like you want to file a bug on https://launchpad.net/
[08:17] <kvarley> Is there a way to encrypt a external hard drive and have it automatically unlock the drive based off which user logs in?
[08:17] <gabkdlly> zetheroo: feel free to share the link to your bug here in the channel if you want to talk about it.
[08:17] <avi143> what i can do in chroot?
[08:18] <zetheroo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/1094218
[08:18] <Seveas> avi143: anything you'd normally do on the command line
[08:18] <ejv> anything your heart desires
[08:18] <zetheroo> seems like someone else already did
[08:18] <zetheroo> gabkdlly .. ^
[08:19] <avi143> can i access speakers.
[08:19] <avi143> can i speakers in chroot
[08:19] <dr_willis> you mean play sound files?
[08:19] <dr_willis> should be able to
[08:19] <avi143> yes
[08:20] <ejv> can i speakers? ha...
[08:20] <zetheroo> gabkdlly: looks like it's to do with Teamviewer 8 ... which incidentally I have installed on my system too :P
[08:20] <gabkdlly> zetheroo: yeah, and it seems to be affecting a lot of people. Don't forget to mark it as affecting you.
[08:20] <zetheroo> yep
[08:21] <avi143> i have debian in chroot on android mobile. but i am unable to play sound files. what to do.
[08:22] <ejv> this is the Ubuntu support channel, you should perhaps try #debian
[08:22] <dr_willis> or #android
[08:23] <dr_willis> since those linux on android  chroot installs are very special in many ways
[08:23] <avi143> ok
[08:23] <dr_willis> and of course the support site for whatevver tool you used to do the chroot install with
[08:24] <ejv> "what to do" is also completely poor questionining. good luck to you.
[08:24] <ejv> s/questionining/questioning/g
[08:24] <ejv> !details
[08:24] <dr_willis> its possible it just dosent ssupport sound. ;)
[08:25] <ejv> my linus doesn't work dr_willis what should i do
[08:25]  * ejv facepalms
[08:25] <dr_willis> ejv:  fix it!
[08:25] <ejv> xD
[08:26] <Seveas> ejv: install windows.
[08:26] <ejv> help vampires ;)
[08:32] <sandeepr> since morning apt-get update fails
[08:32] <histo> don't believe his chroot will have access to the sound system on android.
[08:33] <histo> sandeepr: sudo apt-get update | pastebinit
[08:34] <sandeepr> histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5610076/
[08:35] <sandeepr> i have pasted the error part, let me know if you need the full thing
[08:35] <Seveas> sandeepr: looks like the indian mirror is faulty. Switch to a different one
[08:36] <Seveas> though, first try 'apt-get clean' and then 'apt-get update'. May be a corrupt local file
[08:36] <sandeepr> Seveas, is it to comment out the sources.list and add other repository
[08:36] <histo> sandeepr: have you tried a different mirror?
[08:36] <sandeepr> i did that
[08:36] <sandeepr> apt-get clean, auto remove
[08:36] <histo> sandeepr: What other mirror did you try?
[08:37] <Seveas> sandeepr: no, just remove 'in.' in front of archive.ubuntu.com to use the main archive
[08:37] <sandeepr> histo, no i have tried any other mirro
[08:37] <sandeepr> Seveas, let me check
[08:37] <histo> sandeepr: yes as seveas suggested remove the in.  from all the links in your sources.list or I can give you a sed command to do it.
[08:38] <sandeepr> histo, the sed command would be great.
[08:38] <Seveas> sudo sed -e 's/in\.//' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:38] <dr_willis> you may wan tto backup your sources.list first ;)
[08:38] <Leroy-Fiddler> I've got a question here, too. My Empathy window keeps switching to the first virtual desktop, but is supposed to stay on the upper right one. I've got 12.04 with the Unity desktop. Any suggestions?
[08:39] <Leroy-Fiddler> seems to happen only when in halfscreen mode and switching desktops via hotkeys
[08:40] <histo> sandeepr: sudo sed -i -e 's-in.--' /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:41] <Vivekananda> so anyone how do I figure out if my graphics card is working or not in a fresh install
[08:41] <Vivekananda> ?
[08:41] <histo> ahhs ee seveas already posted one.
[08:41] <histo> !details | Vivekananda
[08:42] <Leroy-Fiddler> @Vivekanada: Did you try my suggestion?
[08:42] <dr_willis> Vivekananda:  whats your video card? do you see a desktop?
[08:43] <doomlord> Any info on how well ubuntu runs on win8 machines (transforming laptops often with pen)
[08:43] <dr_willis> doomlord:  can totally depend on the specific laptop
[08:43] <doomlord> yes i suspect it would
[08:43] <histo> doomlord: yOu need to use 64bit for uefi support
[08:43] <doomlord> i would like such a device - but only if it runs ubuntu
[08:43] <Leroy-Fiddler> @doomlord: take extra care with that. See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[08:43] <histo> !uefi | doomlord
[08:44] <histo> !hcl | doomlord
[08:44] <Leroy-Fiddler> My Empathy window keeps switching to the first virtual desktop, but is supposed to stay on the upper right one. I've got 12.04 with the Unity desktop. Any suggestions?
[08:45] <dr_willis> Leroy-Fiddler:  use the compiz plugin for windows rules to force it to stay where you want.
[08:45] <Leroy-Fiddler> dr_willis: could you give me some more info about that?
[08:45] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[08:45] <dr_willis> its in the ccsm tool
[08:46] <doomlord> anyone know why the window-preview thumbnail plugin was removed
[08:46] <Leroy-Fiddler> thx dr_willis! I'll try that out :)
[08:47] <dr_willis> doomlord:  it diden twork well with the unity launcher
[08:47] <doomlord> i gather it only showed 1 preview.. but i'd have put up with that
[08:48] <sandeepr> histo, Seveas - its going on, will keep you posted on completion. i added openstack ppa repository, however it is ign Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main
[08:48] <Leroy-Fiddler> ok guys, I have to go. See you later!
[08:48] <sandeepr> any idea why? and how to get pakcages from the ppa's
[08:49] <histo> !ppa > sandeepr
[08:49] <histo> sandeepr: did changing mirrors fix the issue
[08:49] <sandeepr> it is going on
[08:49] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[08:50] <sandeepr> i'll let you know as soon as it completes if it fixed or not,
[08:50] <ShapeShifter499> should I run the ssh-keygen as root?
[08:50] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: no
[08:50] <dr_willis> ShapeShifter499:  i dont see why you would need to
[08:50] <ShapeShifter499> ok cool
[08:50] <TakeItEZ> sandeepr: "ign" means "nothing new, nothing to download, so i ignore this"
[08:51] <histo> ShapeShifter499: you run it as your user that you are generating keys for
[08:51] <sandeepr> ok cool TakeItEZ thanks.
[08:51] <mand_> Hi
[08:52] <mand_> I'm having the problem that unity forgets launchers whenever I reboot
[08:52] <mand_> What could be the cause for that?
[08:52] <mand_> I start a program, lock it to the launcher but then it disappears after a reboot
[08:52] <dr_willis> make sure you dont have any files or directories  or . files that are owned by root.. does it do it for all apps ? or just a few?
[08:53] <dr_willis> user config files and dirs getting owned by root.. seem to be a common issue ;(
[08:54] <mand_> It just happens for the Unity launcher, all apps are fine
[08:55] <dr_willis> so anything you pin  gets frogotten.. not just sspecific apps?
[08:55] <mand_> Yeah, anything
[08:55] <mand_> I've recently upgraded from 8.04 to 12.10.. so maybe thing did went wrong there? It's the programs I had in 8.04 in the gnome panel
[08:55] <mand_> It always resets to that state
[08:56] <dr_willis> make a new user. see if it works for them
[08:56] <mand_> dr_willis: It works for them, I've already tried
[08:56] <dr_willis> could be some  .config file in the problem users  home thats either owned by root.. or messed up
[08:57] <mand_> Do you know which config file that could be?
[08:57] <dr_willis> id clean out all the various .config/* files and so forth.. move tghem to some backup directory
[08:57] <mand_> Ok, I'll try
[08:57] <mand_> Thanks
[08:57] <dr_willis> stuff in .config and .local
[08:58] <mand_> Ok, need to go off to try it :)
[09:10] <Vivekananda> so everyone
[09:10] <Vivekananda> I am trying to manually install a program and the instruction says to copy the tar file in the /usr/local and then unzip it and also create a env variable for it
[09:11] <Vivekananda> usr/local wont allow the shift so should I use sudo to do this ?
[09:11] <Vivekananda> It says permission denied
[09:13] <pAt__> yes Vivekananda, you would have to use sudo for this
[09:13] <Vivekananda> ok thanks
[09:16] <dr_willis> ubuntu 101 - you need sudo to mess with system wide configs and files...
[09:16] <dr_willis> heh.. silly bot
[09:17] <lkthomas> guys, what kernel does default ubuntu 12.10 use ?
[09:17] <dr_willis> Vivekananda:  what are you installing anyway?
[09:17] <dr_willis> theres been numerous kernel updates.. you mean  the main version # ?
[09:18] <lkthomas> yes, like 3.2 ?
[09:18] <dr_willis> thought it was 3.5
[09:18] <TakeItEZ> lkthomas: 3.5.0-x
[09:18] <dr_willis> but im not on a ubuntu box to chexk
[09:18] <lkthomas> I see
[09:18] <lkthomas> thanks guys
[09:20] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: tHE LINK I posted above is the software I need to install --http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Download. I have a freshly installed uubntu 12.04 ( actually my friend has coz he needs the help and all) and so I want to make sure his hardware is ready to meet the challenge with the proper drivers installed and in place
[09:20] <Vivekananda> so I want to make sure that his graphics card is working at optimum levels.
[09:21] <dr_willis> and his card is  a?
[09:25] <Vivekananda> Gt 610 nvidia
[09:25] <dr_willis> hope hes not using an optimux based laptop. ;)
[09:25] <dr_willis> optimus
[09:26] <Vivekananda> I have no clue
[09:26] <Vivekananda> the laptop itself is a dell vostro
[09:28] <Vivekananda> the intel chip is t's running intel core 2 duo
[09:28] <Vivekananda>   E8400 @ 3 GHz
[09:28] <Vivekananda>   3 gb RAM
[09:28] <Vivekananda> with nvidia geforce gt 610
[09:28] <FloodBot1> Vivekananda: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:28] <Vivekananda> sorry sorry
[09:28] <Vivekananda> did not mean to
[09:28] <dr_willis> totally generic specs... tells us very little.
[09:28] <Vivekananda> ok so tell me what details I need to give you
[09:28] <Vivekananda> will lspci help ?
[09:29] <dr_willis> check lspci and seeif it mentions 2 video cards
[09:29] <dr_willis> normally its an intel and an nvidia
[09:29] <cronus> i have a problem setting panning with 12.04 radeon driver. i use the command xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768 --panning 1920x1080. resolution changes but panning with the mouse does not work
[09:32] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: lspci command not found ?? why would that be
[09:32] <dr_willis> no idea
[09:32] <dr_willis> !find lspci
[09:33] <TakeItEZ> Vivekananda: sudo apt-get install pciutils
[09:33] <Vivekananda> also setevn command not found
[09:36] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:38] <ShapeShifter499> should it matter what port ssh is on as long as I have good security measures?
[09:38] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: no
[09:39] <cxcx> hi there
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> cool
[09:40] <Vivekananda> dr_willis: here is the lspci output https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5807e8c065076e8ffc85
[09:40] <k1l_> ShapeShifter499: the port is listed in a nmap scan. so changing the port is good to protect against web wide scans on port 22 not more.
[09:40] <Vivekananda> TakeItEZ: thanks for the pciutils thing
[09:40] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: it just keeps logs a bit more clean
[09:40] <ShapeShifter499> I rarely look at my logs
[09:41] <TakeItEZ> why do you care about security then ShapeShifter499
[09:41] <dr_willis> !info logwatch
[09:42] <cxcx> i need 32 bit boost libraries on a 64 bit ubuntu 12.10 but i can't install libboost1.50-dev:i386 because it depends on libstdc++-dev:i386 and I can't install libstdc++6-4.7-dev:i386 because it depends on g++-4.7:i386 instead of g++-4.7-multilib
[09:42] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: and remember: if you change ssh-port, you cannot use "ssh" in iptables/ufw as bareword, you always have to specifiy the port
[09:42] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: or change /etc/services
[09:42] <ikonia> cxcx: why do you need the 32bit libraries ?
[09:42] <ShapeShifter499> TakeItEZ, better to learn it now then to learn hackers are why a heap load of pictures suddenly disappeared and my system wont boot lol
[09:43] <cxcx> because I need to compile something that uses a proprietary library that's only available as 32 bit
[09:43] <dr_willis> Most problelsm i find are the system user doing weird things...
[09:43] <dr_willis> ;)
[09:43] <security> ShapeShifter499: how many places will you ask this question ?
[09:43] <ikonia> cxcx: ok - so you either need to do that on a 32bit host, or cross-copmile it using multilib compatiable libraries, or a 32bit native tool chain
[09:44] <ikonia> cxcx: you can't just install 32bit packages on 64bit ubuntu,
[09:44] <cxcx> i thought that was the point of the multiarch thing with :i386?
[09:44] <ikonia> cxcx: multiarch is yes,32bit native packages, no
[09:44] <ShapeShifter499> security just getting an idea of what people thought was better
[09:44] <security> ShapeShifter499: ok
[09:47] <ShapeShifter499> ok well I wont touch the ssh port but I will set up a 16384 bit RSA ssh key on all my ssh equipped systems
[09:50] <cxcx> ikonia: so this bug report was invalid anyway? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost1.48/+bug/918438
[09:50] <ikonia> cxcx: are you just trying to pull that package from the 32bit repo ?
[09:51] <sandeepr> histo, Seveas - the update failed
[09:52] <sandeepr> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5610195/
[09:52] <sandeepr> it took over an hour, thats quite a long time :-(
[09:52] <cxcx> I try to do pretty much exactly what the guy in the bug report tried to do: "apt-get install libbost-dev-all:i386" or something like that
[09:52] <theos> hey is there a way to create a new keyboard layout? i just want to switch some keys. thats it. i tried editing the /symbols/us file but it didnt add a new layout in the preferences>keyboard>layouts
[09:53] <k1l_> sandeepr: run a "sudo apt-get update" and then do that upgrade again
[09:53] <sandeepr> i was running the apt-get update for the last hour and it failed
[09:53] <sandeepr> you want me to run again?
[09:54] <cxcx> it was my impression that once ia32-libs-multiarch was installed that should just work
[09:54] <k1l_> sandeepr: yes
[09:55] <zetheroo> when configuring 2 identical drives as RAID1 do I have to set one of them to be bootable - or is it enough to make the ext partition on the RAID1 bootable ?
[09:56] <dr_willis> apt-get update took an hr? what sort of connection is that on? sandeepr
[09:57] <theos> any help?
[09:59] <dr_willis> id suggest checking askubuntu.com
[10:02] <cxcx> ah, found it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross#line-80
[10:02] <zetheroo> did my RAID question show up here?
[10:02] <cxcx> seems not to be completely implemented yet
[10:04] <sandeepr> dr_willis, :-) today the net connection seems to be hopeless
[10:04] <cxcx> ikonia: do you have a recommendation of how to get a 32 bit boost that won't break on the next update?
[10:04] <zetheroo> when configuring 2 identical drives as RAID1 do I have to set one of them to be bootable - or is it enough to make the ext partition on the RAID1 bootable ?
[10:05] <zetheroo> is it true that the boot flag is not needed at all anymore ?
[10:05] <k1l_> zetheroo: not for ubuntu
[10:06] <zetheroo>  k1l_: not true for Ubuntu or it's not needed for Ubuntu?
[10:08] <TakeItEZ> zetheroo: the bootflag ist only needed, if the BIOS cannot find any bootmanager in the MBR
[10:09] <zetheroo> TakeItEZ: ok ... do you know about my question regarding the RAID1 setup?
[10:09] <TakeItEZ> zetheroo: no
[10:09] <zetheroo> TakeItEZ: I am just wondering what is the correct method to use ... seems there is no clear definition on this ..
[10:10] <theos> re: hey is there a way to create a new keyboard layout? i just want to switch some keys. thats it. i tried editing the /symbols/us file but it didnt add a new layout in the preferences>keyboard>layouts
[10:11] <vagrant_> hi, uname -a shows 3.5.0-25-generic...but how is this possible, as only up to 3.4 is supported in ubuntu 12.04 (I have only upgraded with apt)
[10:11] <zetheroo> TakeItEZ: is Grub installed to the MBR ?
[10:12] <TakeItEZ> zetheroo: it's the default
[10:12] <k1l_> vagrant_: any PPAs?
[10:15] <k1l_> vagrant_: if not you may have activated that one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuServer#PrecisePangolin.2BAC8-ReleaseNotes.2BAC8-CommonInfrastructure.Ubuntu_Kernel_3.5.0-23.35
[10:15] <vagrant_> k1l_, found it via google, apparently the newest liveCDs ship with 3.5 (which is weird that you still can't upgrade through "normal" channels on an older install)
[10:15] <lng> Hi! Can anybody help me to solve upstart job issue please? before it was working. I have changed some app configuration and now nothing is happening when I run it. If I execute app manually, it works: `/usr/local/bin/node index.js -c app/config/live`. How can I debug it?
[10:15] <k1l_> vagrant_: you can
[10:16] <vagrant_> via for example sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal?
[10:16] <k1l_> vagrant_: yes
[10:17] <vagrant_> yeah, but you're adding in packages from another release...so I don't know how safe this is
[10:17] <tarzeau> how can i report a bug in ubuntu? without a launchpad account?
[10:17] <tarzeau> in debian i can just use submit@bugs.debian.org but in ubuntu?
[10:17] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I am running one ubuntu version (i386) and have free space available on my HDD. Is it possible to install a second (dual boot) ubuntu version (amd64), not from a live cd, but from inside the running i386 version?
[10:17] <k1l_> vagrant_: its the same kernel that ships with the .2 releaese
[10:18] <k1l_> vagrant_: that is a quantal kernel too
[10:18] <tarzeau> SmokeyD: yes, using (c)debootstrap
[10:18] <SmokeyD> tarzeau: ok. Thanks.
[10:18]  * SmokeyD is googling debootstrap
[10:18] <tarzeau> SmokeyD: wow, still on 32-bit, why?
[10:18] <SmokeyD> tarzeau: history
[10:19] <SmokeyD> tarzeau: guess why I am switching to amd64
[10:19] <tarzeau> SmokeyD: you want to check if it's fine
[10:19] <SmokeyD> the point is that I have a lot of stuff setup just right in the i386 version, so I am hestiant to start over with a new install
[10:19] <tarzeau> SmokeyD: like what?
[10:19] <JHofmann> hey, i have an error with apt... i get the error mkinitramfs failure... here is a screenshot: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/6595/errored.jpg anyone have an idea?
[10:21] <cxcx> actually the use case of migrating from 32 to 64 bit is mentioned here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#User_stories
[10:21] <tarzeau> but how can i report bugs in ubuntu?
[10:21] <ikonia> tarzeau: what's the issue ?
[10:21] <ikonia> tarzeau: a lot of things people think are bugs, are not
[10:22] <tarzeau> ikonia: i have a screenshot of lightdm.
[10:22] <tarzeau> ikonia: ok, i am sure it is a bug though.
[10:22] <ikonia> tarzeau: ok then
[10:22] <ikonia> !bug | tarzeau
[10:22] <tarzeau> ikonia: thank you
[10:23] <tarzeau> ikonia: ok the ubuntu-bug opens a browser and wants a launchpad account. i just got rid of mine, and don't plan to use launchpad anymore... checking the other ways now...
[10:24] <ikonia> tarzeau: you need to use launcpad, that is the bug reporting place
[10:24] <ikonia> tarzeau: so if you don't want to use launchpad you can't report a bug
[10:24] <tarzeau> ikonia: i can't use launchpad without a login? i have an email address, that's enough with bugs.debian.org
[10:25] <ikonia> tarzeau: you're not reporting a bug to debian, the ubuntu bug system requirs you to use launchpad
[10:25] <tarzeau> ikonia: ok thank you. sucks
[10:25] <zetheroo> completed install of Ubuntu 12.04.2 ... right before the grub menu there is this message for a couple seconds "error: fd0 read error" ... then it goes to grub menu and boots of the first entry ... it sits at a black screen for a couple min before continuing to boot Ubuntu .... why!?
[10:25] <ikonia> zetheroo: fd0 is an old floppy drive reference
[10:26] <ikonia> zetheroo: obviously it won't find one as most modern machines have don't have floppys
[10:26] <zetheroo> ikonia: can I get grub to ignore looking for it? ... or do I need to disable something in the BIOS?
[10:27] <ikonia> zetheroo: yeah, you can get grub to not look for it, it's probably in your device.map....
[10:28] <JHofmann> can anybody help me?
[10:30] <zetheroo> ikonia: is device.map a file I can manually edit? ...
[10:30] <ikonia> zetheroo: should be clear text, sure
[10:33] <zetheroo> ikonia: should it be in /boot/grub/* ?
[10:33] <ikonia> zetheroo: should be
[10:33] <ikonia> zetheroo: quick google on grub2 disable floppy (or fd0) brings up some results
[10:33] <zetheroo> ok
[10:34] <ikonia> zetheroo: not done it on grub2 so I'm not %100 certain of the process without testing it myself
[10:35] <sandeepr> histo, Seveas, dr_willis - apt-get update worked finally
[10:35] <SmokeyD> tarzeau: on my i386 I have sooo many packages installed, development environments setup, etc that it is going to take me a while to get that all setup again on a new install
[10:35] <sandeepr> k1l_, thanks too
[10:36] <SmokeyD> tarzeau: If I install a new ubuntu version using debootstrap, can i then also update-grub and grub-install from that new install to setup dual booting into the i386 and amd64 system?
[10:38] <Fuzzles> ow can i install ubuntu raring in a vm and have unity run smoothly?
[10:42] <Eagleman> Is ubuntu having problems when virtualized with virtio network drivers, mu network speed drops to 2 mbit max after a while, while the rest of my virtualized systems are on full speed
[10:42] <sandeepr> do the chat log get save anywhere i can take a look at?
[10:43] <ikonia> Eagleman: no issue
[10:43] <ikonia> sandeepr: depends on your client, there are public logs
[10:43] <ikonia> !logs | sandeepr
[10:43] <Eagleman> ikonia: Any idea why the speed drops then?
[10:43] <sam113101> holyshit we're being logged
[10:44] <nunne> Anyone have gotten playback from ubuntu via airplay to work to xbmc? I can see the device under pulse audio, but when i try to press play in any media app. it will not even start playback
[10:44] <ikonia> sam113101: no need for the language
[10:44] <ikonia> Eagleman: your network ?
[10:44] <Eagleman> ikonia: my other systems are working fine
[10:44] <ikonia> Eagleman: look at your physical network cards load/perfomance
[10:45] <Eagleman> ikonia: the hypervisor has full speed
[10:45] <ikonia> Eagleman: what make/model is the physical network card
[10:45] <berk> test
[10:46] <Eagleman> ikonia: in the hypervisor or ubuntu?
[10:46] <A_J> How do i change the keyboard settings in ubuntu. getting funny characters for shift 1 etc
[10:46] <A_J> like shift 3 gives me pounds symbol
[10:47] <ikonia> Eagleman: the physical network card/module on the host
[10:47] <Eagleman> r8168 with r8168 drivers
[10:47] <Eagleman> had to fix the r8169 issue with the vanilla kernel first
[10:47] <ikonia> Eagleman: what is the vendor of an r8168
[10:47] <ikonia> vanilla kernel.. ?
[10:49] <Eagleman> ikonia: archlinux uses a non patched kernel as far as i know, TP-Link TG-3269
[10:49] <TakeItEZ> r8168/r8169 is realtek
[10:50] <ikonia> Eagleman: what does archlinux have to do with this ?
[10:50] <Eagleman> becuase it is the host?
[10:51] <ikonia> Eagleman: errr then why are you asking Ubuntu ?
[10:51] <ikonia> Eagleman: it's host/hypervisor issue with performance
[10:52] <Eagleman> I am using archlinux as a bare metal hypervisor in combination with kvm, however all systems work fine except the guest ubuntu-server machine which has realy low bandwidth speeds
[10:53] <ikonia> Eagleman: look at what module the guest is loading for network
[10:53] <Eagleman> Kernel driver in use: virtio-pci
[10:54] <ikonia> that should be fie
[10:54] <ikonia> fine
[10:54] <ikonia> Eagleman: what are you other "good" guests using ?
[10:54] <Eagleman> non virtio drivers
[10:56] <ikonia> Eagleman: can you test your ubuntu box forcing those drivers ?
[10:57] <ikonia> ls
[10:57] <ikonia> oops
[10:59] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:01] <zetheroo> when I do apt-get upgrade I see this :  The following packages have been kept back:
[11:01] <zetheroo>   linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal linux-image-generic-lts-quantal
[11:01] <zetheroo> is this because those are unstable packages?
[11:02] <ikonia> zetheroo: you're on 12.04 ?
[11:02] <zetheroo> yes
[11:02] <ikonia> zetheroo: why are you getting quantal packages ?
[11:02] <zetheroo> ikonia: no idea ... :P
[11:03] <zetheroo> ikonia: is it something that could be coming through backports?
[11:03] <ikonia> zetheroo: have you got backports enabled....?
[11:04] <zetheroo> ikonia: I think it's enabled by default ...
[11:04] <ikonia> really shouldn't be
[11:04] <zetheroo> ikonia: I was not asked to select the repos I wanted to have enabled during install ...
[11:04] <ikonia> I'd be very surprised if backports is enabled by default on LTS releases.
[11:05] <zetheroo> yes, just checked the sources.list file and "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse" is there
[11:05] <zetheroo> and enabled
[11:06] <zetheroo> so it's being enabled by default now it seems ... odd
[11:06] <ikonia> that's not good
[11:06] <zetheroo> I will disable them right away
[11:07] <ikonia> zetheroo: keep in mind, that's just my opinion
[11:07] <zetheroo> ok, I commented them out and saved the file ... then I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade ...and the line about those same packages being held back is still there
[11:09] <zetheroo> why do packages get "held back" ?

[11:31] <StephenS> is there a way to move top minimize max and close on right
[11:31] <StephenS> like on win?
[11:31] <alumno4> hi
[11:31] <Eagleman> ikonia: other drivers are not using the vlan correctly
[11:32] <alumno4> somebody speak spanish?
[11:32] <Eagleman> !es
[11:33] <Seveas> StephenS: yes there is, with gconftool
[11:33] <StephenS> how to start it? with terminal?
[11:33] <Seveas> StephenS: gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string menu:minimize,maximize,close
[11:34] <StephenS> is there any gui
[11:34] <StephenS> where I can lookup?
[11:34] <Seveas> gconf-editor
[11:34] <StephenS> The program 'gconf-editor' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
[11:34] <userUbu0804> hi all
[11:35] <userUbu0804> My laptop HP COMPAQ 6715b doesn't work well with the latest Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I'm re-installing Ubuntu 08.04.4 LTS which work like a charm. Can I use LibreOffice with 08.04 LTS version ?
[11:36] <Seveas> userUbu0804: 08.04 is no longer supported. Why not try to make 12.04 work better?
[11:36] <StephenS> Seveas, I installed it but couldnt find it in gnome env for desktop.. I run your command and nothing happened
[11:36] <StephenS> I need re-login?
[11:37] <Seveas> StephenS: ok, then that may be only for older versions of Ubuntu. Rats.
[11:37] <userUbu0804> Seveas, because my graphic card isn't supported on 12.04. From what I passed so far with Ubuntu, only 08.04 works at its best.
[11:37] <k1l> !away > torpet
[11:37] <StephenS> so what to do?
[11:37] <k1l> userUbu0804: 8.04 is out of support long time for the desktop.
[11:38] <StephenS> Dconf Editor saves the thing
[11:38] <k1l> there are no security updates anymore so that is very unsafe to use
[11:38] <userUbu0804> yes but my system is very old..
[11:38] <Seveas> userUbu0804: then either buy a new system or try something a bit lighter than ubuntu. Maybe xubuntu works better for you
[11:39] <userUbu0804> Seveas, ok thanks. I will re-install 08.04.4 as all my drivers work perfect with that edition of Ubuntu.
[11:41] <StephenS> damn Seveas still not working
[11:42] <StephenS> I follow this tut http://handytutorial.com/move-window-buttons-to-right-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04/ and still the same
[11:42] <StephenS> :(
[11:42] <StephenS> although :minimize.... was already set at how it was in tut
[11:42] <SonOfGod> problem whit virtualbox : error code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) allredy try sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup but din't work can anyone help me ?
[11:44] <StephenS> hmm its on right now Seveas but when I maximize its on the left, how can I change it completelly?
[11:45] <k1l> StephenS: i think that is not compatible with globalmenue
[11:45] <StephenS> how to make it compatibilly?
[11:45] <StephenS> is there any theme which reminds on windows?
[11:46] <k1l> well, dont use global menue then
[11:46] <k1l> StephenS: why not use xfce in the first place?
[11:46] <StephenS> xfce?
[11:47] <k1l> !xubuntu | StephenS
[11:47] <StephenS> so I still use ubuntu but with xfce env?
[11:47] <StephenS> not gnome right?
[11:48] <k1l> StephenS: see: http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg that are the desktops in comparison
[11:48] <genius> !list
[11:49] <StephenS> maybe lxde is the most similar to win?
[11:49] <lantizia> Hey which channel is best to speak about the "Business Desktop Remix 12.04 LTS" ?
[11:49] <StephenS> as xfce have that top think which would make maximize the same as on gnome
[11:49] <k1l> StephenS: if you want to change nearly everything about unity it could be better to use a desktop that comes with that changes out of the box
[11:49] <k1l> !lubuntu | StephenS
[11:49] <StephenS> Which desktop?
[11:50] <k1l> lantizia: i dont know if there is a special business channel. you can ask here
[11:51] <lantizia> OK well my question is... does the "Business Desktop Remix 12.04 LTS" expire in any way - is it a trial of some sort... or will it work even if my organization doesn't decide to buy a support contract?
[11:51] <Seveas> StephenS: that's not changeable
[11:51] <StephenS> is there cmd line for lubuntu instyall?
[11:53] <k1l> StephenS: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[11:54] <StephenS> Thanks, and if Im not happy I still have gnome so I can easily switch :) and lubuntu use less resources then gnome right?

[12:07] <jpds> K-4U: But I think you'll tire of typing by the time you get to that point.
[12:13] <pritesh> hey guys, anyone please tell me, what will be the minimum size of ubuntu installation with XFCE4 ?? currently i am at 941MB after removing most of things
[12:13] <cfhowlett> pritesh, still wrestling with this I see.  suggest you look on the minimal install option ...
[12:14] <pritesh> cfhowlett, i installed with minimal and previously size was 1.2GB, then i trimmed it.
[12:15] <cfhowlett> pritesh, one step ahead of me then ...
[12:16] <elky> You seem to have the answer for your own question.
[12:16] <pritesh> cfhowlett, is there such files that i will delete and will not effect the system ?
[12:17] <jrib> pritesh: can I ask why you care about size so much?
[12:17] <cfhowlett> pritesh, as minimal footprint is the goal, I'd say you could delete extraneous desktop environments and themes ... but I've never done it.
[12:20] <pritesh> jrib, i have to install linux in 800MB bcoz i am installling it on thinclient which have flashmemory of 1GB only
[12:21] <pritesh> cfhowlett, i deleted themes, extra plugins of xfce4, man pages, openssh, servers and manymore
[12:22] <cfhowlett> pritesh, you MIGHT be a good client for damn small linux ... but I've never used it and it's not supported here.
[12:22] <kvarley> pritesh: You should use the Ubuntu Mini iso and try that or head over to #archlinux
[12:22] <pritesh> cfhowlett,  also i deleted /var/cache/* and /var/log/*
[12:25] <khaije1> are the alternate install cd's any different than the server install cd's?
[12:25] <khaije1> I'm looking for as base an image as possible... does ubuntu still do jeos?
[12:25] <jrib> pritesh: I agree with cfhowlett.  You should take a look at the distros dedicated to being small (like damnsmalllinux).  At the very least, you could take a look at DSL and compare what packages you have on your minimal ubuntu that DSL omit
[12:25] <cfhowlett> khaije1, yes.  server is a different ISO than desktop.
[12:26] <khaije1> cfhowlett: I'm wondering about server vs alternate
[12:26] <cfhowlett> khaije1, alternate ISO is a desktop version with a non-gui installer.
[12:26] <cfhowlett> khaije1, I don't know about jeos though.
[12:26] <DJones> khaije1: The alternate install doesn't exist from 12.10, you'd have to use 12.04 or earlier if you wanted that option
[12:27] <khaije1> cool thanks cfhowlett
[12:28] <pritesh> ohj.. checking things again. thanks cfhowlett,jrib,kvarley
[12:28] <cfhowlett> pritesh, best of luck

[13:06] <pippijn> hi all
[13:07] <_raven> is mplayer able to update the playlist after each file played? i have a playlist with only one item which ggets updated by an external script
[13:08] <HeKToN> guys general question what do you think of chromium ?
[13:08] <jrib> _raven: you might try #mplayer though you could work around it by just calling mplayer in a loop...
[13:08] <jrib> HeKToN: would be better to discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:09] <rcmaehl> How do I claim this device? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5610611/
[13:09] <_raven> jrib would be ok but i need the mplayer window always on the same place
[13:10] <jrib> _raven: you  can pass -geometry to mplayer.  There may be a better way; I'm just offering an option
[13:10] <StephenS> What is channel for cinnamon? I know its mint related but I use it on ubuntu so maybe some relation? :D
[13:11] <_raven> jrib geometry gives position on screen?
[13:11] <jrib> _raven: you can specify position and size, yes
[13:13] <Milansky> Is anyone familiar with "Cannot find kernel image: /casper/vmlinuz -- Trying to install fresh ubuntu from a USB (dloaded .iso from ubuntu.com)
[13:13] <jrib> _raven: you might look into how mplayer behaves if you specify a fifo as the playlist and then use that...
[13:14] <jrib> _raven: and if that doesn't work. You *can* control mplayer with commands (for example using a fifo) in a programmatic way.  You could modify your script to control mplayer instead of just dropping the url in a playlist

[13:29] <jrib> mojtaba: I can't find a decent page on fsck.  But just make sure it's unmounted and then run "fsck /dev/sdb1".  You want to stick around to see what happens

[13:30] <mojtaba> jrib: actually I have done this before and it needs to press 1 million y on keyboard. :o
[13:30] <dhanasekaran> jrib: I already set to 65535 I trying to login user it's says error -su: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
[13:31] <jrib> dhanasekaran: does it say that when you remove the lines from limits.conf too?
[13:31] <dhanasekaran> jrib:
[13:32] <dhanasekaran> jrib: I want that line will be here otherwise maxfile should be 1024
[13:32] <jrib> dhanasekaran: that's fine, but can you answer my qusetion?
[13:33] <dhanasekaran> jrib: no
[13:33] <jrib> dhanasekaran: that's weird
[13:33] <jrib> dhanasekaran: how are you logging in?
[13:33] <lubricant> Hi, am running Lubuntu on a celeron dell inspiron 2200 series. Needless to say problems are with the wifi , can anyone please advice. Bios has wifi on and i have the b43 drivers installed

[13:34] <rcmaehl> lubricant: ##linux-wirelss will probably be able to help you quicker and better
[13:34] <jrib> dhanasekaran: are you calling ulimit somewhere in your login files?
[13:34] <rcmaehl> ##linux-wireless I mean
[13:35] <lubricant> SonikkuAmerica, yes, i suppose so, have tried deactivating it but that did not make a difference
[13:35] <lubricant> rcmaehl, will try there as well
[13:35] <dhanasekaran> jrib:  I did entry here /etc/bash.bashrc  ulimit -n 65535
[13:35] <HeKToN> guys my applications including terminal are open on one window and I need to untab then how to change it by default to open them untabbed ?
[13:35] <lubricant> join ##linux-wireless
[13:35] <SonikkuAmerica> lubricant: Head there first; if that doesn't work, you might try #lubuntu
[13:36] <jrib> dhanasekaran: you don't need that if you're already making the default that number, no?
[13:36] <CHUTIYA_SERVER> was uppppppppppp
[13:36] <SonikkuAmerica> !hi | CHUTIYA_SERVER
[13:36] <jrib> dhanasekaran: anyway, remove that line, then pastebin output of: grep -r pam_limits.so /etc/pam.d/
[13:36] <dhanasekaran> jrib: The file effect only you need to restart, I dont't want restart my server
[13:36] <Seveas> SonikkuAmerica: you scared him :(
[13:36] <cfhowlett> lubricant, what wifi card specifically?
[13:37] <SonikkuAmerica> Seveas: I forgot that only works in #xubuntu
[13:37] <jrib> dhanasekaran: I don't believe that's true.  It should take effect on a new login as long as pam is setup right
[13:37] <dhanasekaran> jrib: I added entry also It's not works form  me
[13:38] <jrib> dhanasekaran: I'd expect as much

[13:51] <AStorm|work> hello, I'm running 12.04 LTS (no way to upgrade) and need newer cmake for that
[13:51] <AStorm|work> is there some nice repository with it?
[13:52] <jrib> dhanasekaran: so what does "ulimit -nH" output now for hdfs?
[13:52] <cfhowlett> lubricant, thought you id'd that card as a Broadcom model?
[13:53] <dhanasekaran> jrib: hdfs@dvcliftonhera141:~$ ulimit -nH
[13:53] <dhanasekaran> -su: ulimit: H: invalid number
[13:53] <AStorm|work> (don't even try to recommend dist upgrade, I have dumb binary legacy software that doesn't work on newer)
[13:53] <cfhowlett> lubricant, see the following.  for what it's worth, I had my wifi up and running after 2 minutes of terminal work in 12.04   http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/

[13:55] <dhanasekaran> jrib: http://pastebin.com/WCezELPp
[13:55] <jrib> dhanasekaran: actually, maybe I am making a mistake.  Do this: ulimit -H -n
[13:56] <jrib> dhanasekaran: ok so your limits are getting set to 32768 instead of 65538 now?  Did you change limits.conf?
[13:56] <dhanasekaran> jrib: no
[13:56] <blip-> hi all, my laptop was plugged into an external monitor at work (thus 2 different screens, same X server).   Now i'm back home and my main desktop is outside of the laptop LCD, so I can't use anything.   What can I do to change it other than rebooting as one does in Windows ?
[13:57] <dhanasekaran> jrib:  root user  getting 65535 but hdfs user different value why?
[13:57] <danman1453> just tried to use x -configure to build a new xorg.conf and got the following msg:
[13:57] <jrib> dhanasekaran: did you change anything else regarding limits?  Other than /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/bash.bashrc?
[13:57] <Industrial> I have installed git-daemon-run to run a git daemon on this computer. I have a bare repository at /home/tom/Documents/repos/utils.git. if I clone git://127.0.0.1:0418/home/tom/Documents/repos/utils.git then I get an authentication error. Did I miss a step?
[13:57] <danman1453> "The number of created screens does not match the number of detected devices"
[13:58] <dhanasekaran> jrib: No I not changed any thing
[13:58] <Industrial> I cannot ask this in #git because it involves an ubuntu package and possible configuration
[13:58] <dhanasekaran> jrib: problem with only hdfs user
[13:58] <Industrial> when i check service --status-all I don't see a git-server, but the git-server-run package is installed
[13:58] <jrib> dhanasekaran: how about other users?
[13:59] <cfhowlett> #ubuntu-devel|Industrial, would probably know
[13:59] <Pici> cfhowlett: no, thats not really appropriate for #ubuntu-devel
[13:59] <dhanasekaran> jrib: others  getting 65535 value
[13:59] <cfhowlett> Pici, my mistake.  thought he was doing ubuntu package stuff ...
[14:01] <jrib> dhanasekaran: I have no idea why that user has a different hard limit if the /etc/security/limits.conf is as you last posted
[14:01] <no_gravity> Hello! When logging into my servers I often get a "System Restart Required" message. Is there a way to see why?
[14:02] <jrib> no_gravity: sort of.  You can see what /etc/update-motd.d/98-reboot-required actually does
[14:02] <dhanasekaran> jrib: i don't know why different value
[14:02] <Pici> Industrial: What release of Ubuntu are you using?
[14:02] <dhanasekaran> jrib: I update only limits.conf file only
[14:02] <danman1453> is there an nvidia channel?
[14:02] <danman1453> for ubuntu?
[14:03] <jrib> dhanasekaran: want to pastebin limits.conf one more time?
[14:03] <no_gravity> jrib: you mean i should execute "98-reboot-required"?
[14:03] <jhutchins_wk> no_gravity: No, you should look at it and see what it does.
[14:03] <no_gravity> jhutchins_wk: ah
[14:03] <jrib> no_gravity: no, you can read it and see where it gets its information.  In the end it just checks for the existence of some file.  So then you can go research what creates/writes to that file

[14:39] <bviktor> hi, is there a way to customize the banner text in the ubuntu login screen? it's "ubuntu 12.10" by default
[14:40] <theadmin> bviktor: That's not a text, it's a logo.
[14:41] <bviktor> ok, it's also fine if i can add something below it, is it possible?
[14:41] <theadmin> I don't find a way to customize it. You may need to replace some file, but it's not obvious which.
[14:42] <bviktor> i'm looking at /lib/plymouth/themes atm
[14:42] <theadmin> bviktor: What's Plymouth got to do with that? The login screen is lightdm. Plymouth provides the splash on boot, with orange dots
[14:42] <bviktor> ah.
[14:42] <Weeeeezzl> take a look at the "grub customizer" maybe
[14:42] <theadmin> Weeeeezzl: Has nothing to do with GRUB either.
[14:43] <guigouz> ubuntu 12.04.2 (with the latest kernel) does not boot on a macbook pro with nvidia 320m if I load the nvidia driver, any tips ?
[14:43] <theadmin> bviktor: Found it. Modify /usr/share/unity-greeter/logo.png to whatever you want displayed there.
[14:43] <danman1453> i am ssh'd into my server, how do i restart the xserver running there from the ssh? I would like to check the xorg log generated with a new config without a remote reboot command.
[14:44] <jjman6_> I'm running Kubuntu 12.10 and i have been having some strange issues. Namely the system keeps shutting itself down randomly. Not crashing per se. its actually calling a system shutdown from root somehow. Feels like a virus to me Any thoughts
[14:44] <theadmin> danman1453: Does it have a login manager?
[14:44] <Weeeeezzl> can't you use it to replace the boot screen? idk.. just wanted to say something :)
[14:44] <danman1453> yes?
[14:44] <theadmin> danman1453: Well, which one? On the default Ubuntu setup that'd be lightdm, so "sudo restart lightdm" will do the trick. If you're running some other one, modify the command appropriately
[14:45] <danman1453> thats what i did.
[14:45] <danman1453> i have 12.04
[14:45] <bviktor> theadmin, i want to display the image version number, so it needs  to be changed constantly, hence i'd prefer a way to display text instead, but if that's not possible, i'll stick with this, thanks
[14:45] <danman1453> just checking. thanks theadmin
[14:45] <theadmin> bviktor: Hm... There may be a way to render text from command-line into an image, and stick that into cron...
[14:46] <bviktor> nah, i think i'll just have a generic image with editable text and modify it each time...
[14:46] <inSeriousTrouble> help help! guys i typed this in terminal: sudo apt-get remove lamp-server^ and went afk when i returned i saw alot of packages (unrelated to this were removed as well) like jdk7,unity-greeter vlc etc etc, i want to get them back because if i log off once i'm dead. PLS HELP
[14:46] <bviktor> thanks
[14:47] <Weeeeezzl> back to my question: is there anyone that could help? (regarding the interface crashing madness i mentioned few minutes ago)
[14:47] <theadmin> inSeriousTrouble: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop will give you the default set of packages that come with Ubuntu, work from there.

[15:16] <ruud> kc102, not if you're using the default shell (unity)
[15:16] <kc102> I'm not entire sure what I'm using. I believe it is the default 12.10 though.
[15:16] <kc102> Can I mess with the icons beside add/remove? :s
[15:17] <ruud> you can drag them to another position
[15:17] <kc102> Can I alter their size?
[15:18] <tehCereluenn> i lost access to my graphical user interface, using startx doesn't function to get me back to my gui
[15:19] <tgm4883> kc102, you can alter the size of the left bar (width), which would affect icon size
[15:20] <tgm4883> tehCereluenn, is lightdm running? (sudo service lightdm status)
[15:22] <kc102> How do I do that, tgm? I've been looking through settings to no avail.

[15:26] <tehCereluenn> satisfactory rather
[15:26] <tehCereluenn> thank you bye

[15:35] <henryk_> in the last updates
[15:35] <tgm4883> kc102, you ran both the commands on that page?
[15:35] <oldude67> !polling
[15:36] <bean> !better
[15:36] <kc102> Running the second now.
[15:36] <kc102> Didn't realize had to run both at first. :p
[15:36] <oldude67> !best
[15:36] <kc102> It asks me to continue [Y/n] so I enter in Y and it aborts >>
[15:37] <tgm4883> kc102, error message?
[15:37] <kc102> No error message
[15:38] <tgm4883> kc102, can you pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l unity-tweak-tool'
[15:38] <kc102> i will in a sec, brb
[15:38] <tcstar> genii-around thanks for that -- i've seen that one...  i tried to do the jailkit thing -- but it fails on make -- and as such can't be installed
[15:40] <kc102> oh wow
[15:40] <inSeriousTrouble> is there a way to isntall packages without verification? i mean i dont want to type y and hit enter everytime i install a package (right nw i made a script to install 400+ programs) so it'll be waste if i have to sit there and type yes
[15:40] <kc102> i figured it out
[15:40] <kc102> if you don't enter anything
[15:40] <kc102> and press enter
[15:40] <kc102> it continues
[15:40] <FloodBot1> kc102: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:41] <Hyperiant> What command do I run to install a package and all dependencies automatically?
[15:41] <kc102> If you actually enter in anything then it thinks you said no.
[15:41] <tgm4883> inSeriousTrouble, 'apt-get -y install <packagename>'
[15:41] <inSeriousTrouble> tgm4883: u are a life saver :*
[15:42] <tgm4883> inSeriousTrouble, that will assume yes to questions. IDK what happens if dpkg asks you a non y/n question
[15:42] <tgm4883> it might get skipped
[15:42]  * tgm4883 shrugs
[15:42] <kc102> tgm: http://pastebin.com/ePZn2LTW
[15:42] <inSeriousTrouble> tgm4883: let me check it out and get back to you
[15:43] <tgm4883> kc102, ok, it's installed
[15:43] <Hyperiant> Ebay flag
[15:43] <kc102> Alright, cool. It doesn't look like my options are altered though. Or do I load this as a custom application?
[15:44] <Hyperiant> What flag do I use for dpkg to install dependencies?
[15:44] <tgm4883> kc102, you load it as an application. So launch unity-tweak-tool and see what it offers
[15:44] <kc102> ah-ha! awesome, gonna see what i can do now. :D ty
[15:45] <rightshift> hi, how do i check if my last shutdown was clean - i couldnt access via ssh so i had to issue a shutdown command via ups
[15:45] <rightshift> and i need to make sure it did it cleanly
[15:45] <tgm4883> Hyperbyte, you don't use dpkg   http://askubuntu.com/questions/40011/how-to-let-dpkg-i-install-dependencies-for-me
[15:45] <kc102> Can I see how much space I have left on my usb drive? I'm running Ubuntu off of one and it won't mount the file system its installed onto.
[15:46] <ozette> tgm4883, shouldn't i be able to just apt-get install the package once added to my software resources?
[15:46] <rightshift> Anyone?
[15:46] <tgm4883> kc102, running the live cd, I don't think it installs things to the usb drive. I think it gets installed to a tmpfs in ram
[15:46] <tgm4883> ozette, after you do an 'apt-get update', yes
[15:46] <ikonia> ozette: saying anyone is pointless
[15:47] <tgm4883> ^^ means rightshift
[15:47] <ozette> tgm4883, i did that, got my ppa from here https://launchpad.net/~irie/+archive/openimageio?field.series_filter=precise
[15:47] <ozette> anyone?
[15:47] <kc102> When I installed Ubuntu to this drive, I chose to put on a 4 gig persistent file system. I forget, offhand, which program I used for this. I can search it up for you if you'd like.
[15:47] <tgm4883> ozette, how did you try to install it? What is the command you ran?
[15:48] <inSeriousTrouble> tgm4883: it's working for now, thanks a ton mate
[15:48] <tgm4883> inSeriousTrouble, yw
[15:48] <anew> where does ubuntu save temp $_FILE when uploaded via php ?
[15:48] <tgm4883> kc102, you could try 'df -h'
[15:48] <ikonia> anew: look in the php.ini for the tmp dir
[15:48] <kc102> oh awesome! ty. 2.6 gigs avail :D
[15:49] <Intensity> helo

[15:57] <ozette> i know, but i ran a apt-get update after tht
[15:57] <ozette> and then i tried a apt-get install openimageio
[15:57] <flan_suse> Anyone here got Psychonauts to work under Ubuntu with Intel video? Apparently it should work. I have an Intel HD 4000, but it says I am missing GL extensions when I try to run the game, and then it segfaults.
[15:57] <tgm4883> ozette, any error messages during the 'apt-get update'?
[15:57] <flan_suse> I have S3TC enabled, and I can play other games from the Humble Bundle just fine.
[15:57] <tgm4883> flan_suse, 12.10?
[15:57] <flan_suse> I am even using the xorg-edgers PPA.
[15:57] <flan_suse> tgm4883: No, 12.04.
[15:58] <ozette> tgm4883, no error messsages no. and yet, after a apt-get install i get a "Unable to locate package openimageio"

[15:59] <ozette> tgm4883, really? what
[15:59] <ozette> tgm4883, what's it called :o
[15:59] <tgm4883> ozette, that is the source package name, it builds 3 binary packages that have different names
[16:00] <tgm4883> ozette, actually, 4 packages  libopenimageio-dev, libopenimageio1.1, openimageio-tools, openimageio-doc

[16:04] <nandhu> when i connect to each network every thing is saved in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection .., is there a way to find which is the active wired and wireless connection i am using using terminal
[16:05] <kc102> Is this a cpu issue, or an 64bit->32bit conflict?
[16:05] <tgm4883> nandhu, does 'nm-tool' show you what you want?
[16:05] <jrib> kc102: is there a reason you don't use the repository in the wiki?
[16:05] <ponke_> nandhu: what do you mean by "using"?
[16:06] <kc102> I'm really unsure of what I'm doing here. First time using linux and such. I apologize if I'm doing something wrong.
[16:07] <jrib> kc102: did you see the link from ubottu about skype?
[16:07] <nandhu> yes thanks nm-tool is showing that active connection name
[16:07] <kc102> The how-to install?
[16:08] <nandhu> is there a way were i can get it using a C program any system function or the only was is i have to grep it from nm-tool

[16:10] <Twinkletoes> The default postfix install has 'virtual_alias_domains = $virtual_alias_maps', but if I specify a single domain name in this file, postfix says it's not in the right format.  Does anyone know how I specify both in the same file?
[16:10] <gnuskool> kc102: did you try the command I suggested?
[16:10] <StephenS> Windows is hibernated, refused to mount.
[16:10] <StephenS> Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Operation not permitted
[16:10] <StephenS> The NTFS partition is hibernated.
[16:10] <StephenS> This above is false as I have shutdown my win8 version, so why does it say this? and I cannot access the partition?
[16:10] <r00r> I love windows 8!!!!!
[16:10] <gnuskool> kc102: if that fails look at the ubuntu guide, perfect for  beginners http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Quantal#Skype

[16:11] <gnuskool> r00r: go play outside

[16:13] <StephenS> which one?
[16:14] <gnuskool> jrib: for his particular problem it is, he has a 64bit dependency needed
[16:14] <tgm4883> StephenS, that would depend on what you want to do
[16:14] <jrib> kc102: what is the output of "dpkg --print-foreign-architecture"
[16:14] <StephenS> I did run sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt the same error.
[16:14] <gnuskool> kc102: it is discussed more here http://askubuntu.com/questions/213857/installing-skype-will-not-work-skype-bin-not-installable-and-held-broken-pac

[16:14] <nandhu> no here the problem is different stephen your fat or ntfs file system is not able to mount because windows is hibernated
[16:14] <Pici> StephenS: as your error message says: mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
[16:14] <tgm4883> StephenS, either mount it read only, or remove the hibernate file
[16:15] <nandhu> so the only way is you have to mount it as read only i think
[16:15] <Pici> aye
[16:15] <nandhu> did you tried what is suggested there
[16:15] <StephenS> wil mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ruin something?
[16:15] <StephenS> If im mounting for win hibernated?
[16:15] <tgm4883> StephenS, AFAIK, removing the hibernate file will remove the windows hibernation state
[16:15] <jrib> gnuskool: the issue is likely that skype is 32bit but kc102 does not have multiarch enabled... I have no idea why that page is suggesting things like pinning
[16:15] <tgm4883> so the next time you boot into windows, it won't be hibernated, it will be a fresh boot
[16:15] <raven> what is the right syntax for this command in one line? while true; do 'mplayer -playlist 1.pls -loop 0 -geometry 160x120+300+0 -screenw 160 -screenh 120'; done &
[16:15] <SonikkuAmerica> bvm1228: We can definitely help you, but what about "error: no such device"?
[16:16] <konr> I've installed ubuntu using the windows installer in its ntfs partition. Can I "upgrade" this installation to a regular installation, with ubuntu having its own partition?

[16:19] <StephenS> but it says files on dvd ?
[16:19] <StephenS> why is that
[16:19] <nandhu> you might have mounted using archive mount
[16:19] <nandhu> it will not be in any file structer directory
[16:19] <kc102> jrib it gives me an error about the command
[16:20] <nandhu> its like a virtual mount .. which you might have done with nautiles
[16:20] <jrib> kc102: what is the output of "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures"?
[16:21] <kc102> It doesn't output anything.
[16:21] <kc102> Just linedowned and asking for a new command.
[16:21] <jrib> kc102: run the following to enable multiarch: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
[16:21] <SonikkuAmerica> bvm1228: OK. So there's probably a broken bootloader issue to resolve. Do you have Ubuntu Live Media anywhere?
[16:21] <kc102> Ran it, no output.
[16:21] <StephenS> Where are places -\> connect to server for sftp protocol?
[16:22] <StephenS> in 12.10

[16:22] <kc102> It gave me some errors. Want me to pastebin em?
[16:22] <jrib> kc102: sure
[16:23] <kc102> http://pastebin.com/8UWKipD3
[16:24] <jrib> kc102: this is because you have the cdrom in your sources.list as well as some apparently outdated skype repository
[16:24] <kc102> Yeah, I can imagine. I've tried a bunch of commands...
[16:24] <jrib> kc102: you should remove them
[16:25] <kc102> kk
[16:25] <bvm1228> no
[16:26] <bvm1228> i just deleted my ubuntu partition but i still get that
[16:26] <jrib> bvm1228: get what?
[16:26] <kc102> How do I find a terminal I left open but tabbed out of?
[16:26] <anew> where do i find in my php.ini where $_FILES saves to ?
[16:27] <bvm1228> that error code that i told you earlier
[16:27] <kc102> ah
[16:27] <spector_dell> My 12.10 install is freezing during copy files process, help files show this is likely due to format issue of my HD which has win7; anyone know how to setup the driver properly to install 12.10 as dual boot with win 7. Appreciate the help
[16:27] <jrib> bvm1228: unless you're addressing someone directly you should assume this channel has a 0-line memory
[16:27] <jrib> bvm1228: do you want to reinstall ubuntu?
[16:28] <bvm1228> no i want to be able to boot into windows
[16:29] <jrib> bvm1228: if you don't want ubuntu at all anymore, then you shouldn't use grub as your bootloader anymore.  You can ask ##windows for help on fixing your mbr
[16:29] <kc102> Okay so I ran sudo dpkg -r skype
[16:29] <discrete> ;;ticker
[16:29] <kc102> Will that remove all the skype crap sitting around?
[16:29] <jrib> kc102: why?
[16:29] <bvm1228> but i still get the grub error
[16:30] <jrib> bvm1228: because you haven't restored the windows mbr
[16:30] <kc102> Because I thought that's how I'd remove the old skype repositories.
[16:30] <bvm1228> i have tried bootrec.exe /fixboot
[16:30] <jrib> kc102: it's not.  Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and look for the cdrom repositories and the specific skype repository that you got an error about (you should *not* remove the canonical partner repo)
[16:31] <SonikkuAmerica> bvm1228: Before that you have to run [ bootrec /fixmbr ]
[16:31] <jrib> bvm1228: ##windows can help you with this; it's a windows issue
[16:31] <kc102> jrib, how do I do this? I've just been running commands in terminal. I don't know how to make the gui navigate well.
[16:31] <kc102> oh found it
[16:31] <jrib> kc102: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:32] <jrib> kc102: ok
[16:32] <kc102> sources.list.d
[16:32] <jrib> kc102: sure it may be in there as well.

[16:34] <jrib> kc102: it's a file.  You open it with a text editor with: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:34] <kc102> oh sorry now i see
[16:34] <kc102> was lookin for a folder
[16:35] <kc102> http://pastebin.com/ZmRm6wtn
[16:35] <jrib> kc102: so you see the cdrom line and the line at the bottom about "download.skype.com"?  Comment or delete those
[16:36] <kc102> yes
[16:36] <kc102> okay
[16:36] <jrib> kc102: then save
[16:36] <kc102> By those, do you mean the last three in the list? Or just the skype line?
[16:36] <jrib> kc102: I mean only line 1 and line 8
[16:36] <my1gsus> I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.10 for my small business server.  I just need some assistance in getting this server up and running for data storage and email.
[16:37] <jrib> my1gsus: just ask your question
[16:37] <kc102> The file is read only. :s
[16:37] <jrib> kc102: it's a file.  You open it with a text editor with: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:37] <kc102> It is opened. Sec
[16:38] <jrib> kc102: you can "/msg ubottu sudo" for more information.  You need to open it using gksudo $editor
[16:38] <tcstar> how can i give a user write access to a symlink created by ln -s ?  (they own the symlink -- but can't create any files or directories in there)
[16:38] <jrib> my1gsus: help.ubuntu.com server guide may also be helpful to you
[16:38] <Industrial> How do i do this on ubuntu? is it the same procedure as on debian? https://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/
[16:38] <jrib> tcstar: permissions on symlinks are meaningless.  Change the permissions on the target
[16:38] <my1gsus> jrib: thank you
[16:39] <djkorn> any support for ubuntuserver?
[16:39] <jrib> !ask | djkorn
[16:39] <jrib> Industrial: the page suggests those packages are for both ubuntu and debian
[16:40] <StephenS> Ive enabled ssh authorization in sshd_config for user and placed file authorized_keys nder .ssh and put my public key in it, and I still get on ssh prompt: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
[16:40] <StephenS>  am I doing something wrong?
[16:40] <StephenS> oh didnt restarted ssh
[16:40] <jrib> StephenS: obviously you are doing something wrong :P
[16:40] <StephenS> hmm still nothing
[16:40] <jrib> StephenS: start over and just use ssh-copy-id to copy the public key over
[16:41] <StephenS> Milos_SD, smederevoMAN
[16:41] <StephenS> jrib ha?
[16:41] <jrib> StephenS: is that a question? :x
[16:42] <kc102> jrib I'm unsure of what I'm doing here. Do I type gksudo geddit into the terminal, then the file path?
[16:42] <strigga> Hi there.. I ab a bit drawb between this and the mongodb channel, but in the end it's a ubuntu/networking problem so I ask here: I am trying to connect from one ubuntu 11.06LTS machine to another (both server versions). Connecting on port 3306 works easily, connections on port 27017 does not work. Telnet does not throw an error message. Pinging works fine.
[16:42] <Milos_SD> StephenS ?
[16:42] <jrib> kc102: you type "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal and press return, yes
[16:42] <StephenS> Milos_SD, nista :)
[16:42] <strigga> Connectong to the target machine on port 27017 from a different source machine works fine
[16:42] <djkorn> any support for virtualbox-server?
[16:42] <kc102> Worked that time, cool.
[16:43] <jrib> strigga: there's no version ever close to "11.06LTS"
[16:43] <kc102> Okay, file has been fixed. ^^
[16:43] <strigga> jrib: hang on
[16:43] <jrib> even*
[16:43] <tgm4883> jrib, 11.04 is close, it's only .02 off!
[16:43] <jrib> kc102: now run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype"
[16:43] <jrib> tgm4883: not LTS though :)
[16:44] <tgm4883> jrib, ah true
[16:44] <kc102> Okay, fingers crossed!
[16:45] <kc102> I want to say it installed but I don't see it in my list of programs.
[16:45] <tcstar> nice.. thanks
[16:45] <djkorn> try typing "skype"
[16:45] <jrib> kc102: it may only show up after you login again (I am not sure as I don't use unity).  For now, try "skype" in a terminal
[16:46] <djkorn> on unity try typing "skype"
[16:46] <kc102> hells yeah!
[16:46] <kc102> tysm!
[16:46] <strigga> jrib: OK it's 11.04 NON LTS :)
[16:46] <jeffbauer> hey guys, how can i install ATI HD 4250 driver on latest ubuntu?
[16:46] <slacko12664> hi
[16:46] <Keyman> Is there a driver that works better than the one on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS for HP Array 6400s?? Mine keeps locking up the box lbd2/cciss!c0d0 in Status D
[16:46] <kc102> It's ugly, but it's skype!
[16:46] <jrib> strigga: ok.  Don't know about your issue.  Maybe say exactly what you are running.  Presumably you are doing the same exact procedure but only changing port number?  Did you enable a firewall (check output of "iptables -L")
[16:47] <jrib> kc102: you didn't say you didn't want the ugly version
[16:47] <slacko12664> Who answers these questions?
[16:47] <StephenS> /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found
[16:47] <StephenS>  dafq
[16:47] <jrib> slacko12664: other users like you :)
[16:47] <slacko12664> yes
[16:47] <djkorn> how about virtualbox-server guys? any one install on their boxes?
[16:47] <slacko12664> thats true
[16:47] <kc102> Didn't know there was an ugly version, or if I had options. :P
[16:47] <Pici> djkorn: What are you asking?
[16:47] <jrib> StephenS: what did you execute exactly?
[16:48] <slacko12664> djkorn did that once
[16:48] <djkorn> pici, yeah was asking anyone who installed virtualbox-server
[16:48] <slacko12664> yes did that once
[16:48] <StephenS> jrib, ssh-copy-id file.ppk
[16:48] <Pici> djkorn: I'm sure many people have, but you're not going to get an answer if you just ask that. Ask your real question./
[16:48] <djkorn> slacko12664: hi, yeah.... love to try that... hmm any guides or walkthrough?
[16:49] <strigga> jrib: no firewall. Doing a "telnet target-host 3306" works fine (connects to MySQL). Doing "telnet target-host 27017" does not work. Doing that same telnet from a different machine works fine. Pretty confusing
[16:49] <slacko12664> installed ubuntu server
[16:49] <jrib> StephenS: read "man ssh-copy-id" for syntax.  It's pretty short.  You can ask if you're not sure
[16:49] <kc102> Now this may be the wrong thing to ask, but is there a way I can get Visual Studios running on Linux? Or do I need WINE?
[16:49] <djkorn> Pici: hmm ok, i need a walkthrough or guides...
[16:49] <llutz> StephenS: http://superuser.com/questions/232362/how-to-convert-ppk-key-to-openssh-key-under-linux
[16:49] <djkorn> slacko12664: is it hard? or just plain install? and run smoothly?
[16:49] <slacko12664> ran smooth for me
[16:50] <slacko12664> on vmware though
[16:50] <jrib> StephenS: remember though I suggested starting over, so you should get rid of whatever you already tried on the server (my guess is you don't have  proper permissions.  Rather than troubleshoot those, just use ssh-copy-id and it should set them up properly)
[16:50] <djkorn> slacko12664: i see i wanna try virtualbox, vmware is not a freeware right?
[16:50] <StephenS> WHy woudld i use putty on linux?
[16:50] <slacko12664> yup thats right
[16:51] <slacko12664> but for learning its good to learn
[16:51] <SolarisBoy> kc102: have you checked the appdb? http://appdb.winehq.org/
[16:51] <jrib> StephenS: good question :)  I have to go by the way, but others can help you with this (I'll be back in about 15 minutes)
[16:51] <jhutchins_wk> StephenS: It can make managing connections a bit easier, and is familiar for Windows users.
[16:51] <djkorn> slacko12664: yeah for me i will use virtualbox....
[16:51] <slacko12664> or try
[16:51] <slacko12664> ok
[16:51] <djkorn> slacko12664: yeah will try.......
[16:51] <djkorn> slacko12664: will get back tou you later.
[16:51] <slacko12664> ok
[16:51] <llutz> StephenS: check if your ppk-key has the correct format
[16:52] <Pici> StephenS: where did you get that ppk file?
[16:52] <StephenS> from puttygen and Im logged in via putty on linux
[16:52] <StephenS> but this is temp solution as I still cannot manage sftp access with linux
[16:52] <ubuntu> hi
[16:53] <Pici> StephenS: Okay, ppk files are only for putty, you'd need to convert it to a format that ssh can use, see llutz's instructions.
[16:53] <cschneid> How do I figure out why cron didn't pick up my root's crontab entry to run a script?
[16:54] <r00t> Is anyone here proficient in BackTrack?
[16:54] <Pici> r00t : We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux
[16:54] <tgm4883> !backtrack | r00t
[16:54] <r00t> Thanks
[16:54] <StephenS> ok
[16:54] <cschneid> This is my super trivial crontab entry. It didn't trigger. When run manually it does the correct work. https://gist.github.com/cschneid/5154043
[16:54] <SolarisBoy> wow that fact is really packed with info!
[16:55] <genii-around> SolarisBoy: We try to give ubottu the most bang for the buck
[16:55] <SolarisBoy> lol - no pun?
[16:55] <slacko12664> bye guys
[16:55] <tgm4883> cschneid, does dmesg or syslog say anything about it?
[16:55] <Keyman> Anyone see my question?? Is there a driver that works better than the one on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS for HP Array 6400s?? Mine keeps locking up the box lbd2/cciss!c0d0 in Status D
[16:55] <cschneid> tgm4883: dunno - let me go take a look.  Its been a while since digging into real sysadmin
[16:55] <cschneid> (ie, even knowing where logs are :) )
[16:56] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: what is the header on that file?
[16:56] <tgm4883> cschneid, /var/log
[16:56] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: the shebang rather -
[16:56] <cschneid> yeah
[16:56] <cschneid> root@li291-24:/var/log# head -n 1 /srv/irclogger.com/backup_db.sh
[16:56] <cschneid> #!/bin/bash
[16:56] <cschneid> and permissions are 755, so that's fine.
[16:57] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: interesting
[16:57] <hotmedal> I have a dual core Atom, 1GB ram, 3GB swap and Ubuntu gets stuck because of Firefox with 3 tabs! And it's not CPU usage or memory shortage, it's just the hard disk that's busy
[16:57] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: is your $SHELL bash? - i think cron's default is sh although you do have a shebang...
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> hotmedal: try setting swappness lower, or use a lighter desktpo like LXDE
[16:58] <cschneid> SolarisBoy: it honestly doesn't matter, I'm not using any bash features.  But anyway, it looks like cron isn't even triggering my crontab entry
[16:58] <jpmh1> have a machine where I do not trust what may have been on the disk.  Shall I used gpated from the live CD and create a new partition table, dos format before the install
[16:58] <tgm4883> cschneid, can  you pastebin those log files?
[16:58] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: oh because i haven't seen the script -
[16:59] <cschneid> SolarisBoy, tgm4883: syslog has entries for the few things that came along in /etc/cron.hourly and such, but not the one I added via root's `crontab -e`
[16:59] <cschneid> I'm just gonna get around it by dropping it in the /etc/<whatever> and move on :)
[16:59] <hotmedal> I should think Gnome would be ok with 1GB ram
[16:59] <cschneid> this whole server needs a rebuild
[16:59] <cschneid> with some sort of logic
[16:59] <scampbell> anyone know why the source package for login (shadow actually) is missing from 12.04?!?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> hotmedal: it will but Forefox isn't great with RAM, try something lighter, it may hepl
[17:00] <alimj> hotmedal: No it is not enough for new GNOME or Unity
[17:00] <llutz> cschneid: add the job to /etc/crontab, is it running then?
[17:00] <cschneid> llutz: yeah, that's my next plan.
[17:00] <SolarisBoy> cschneid: you can try to replace it with a normal command like touch to confirm if it's the cron entry or the script
[17:00] <cschneid> honestly it looks like I've screwed up cron vs. anacron. I seem to have both installed, and I bet that's the issue.
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> alimj: ubuntu requirements page gives a minimum of 512Mb so is technically ok, but it will perform badly
[17:00] <cschneid> ie, editing the one that's not actually running
[17:00] <SolarisBoy> or something like that
[17:01] <alimj> ActionParsnip: Yes but will be too slow
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> alimj: like I said ;)
[17:01] <cschneid> SolarisBoy, llutz, tgm4883: thank you all - I'm going to hunt more on this, I'll come back if I hit a wall
[17:02] <tgm4883> scampbell, shadow?
[17:02] <emjay25> could someone help me tunnel a tight vnc server through ssh?
[17:02] <alimj> ActionParsnip: I have all LXDE, XFCE, GNOME, KDE on the same machine with 2GB Ram. Currently I could say that only LXDE and XFCE are usable
[17:02] <tgm4883> scampbell, there doesn't appear to be a shadow package, source nor binary
[17:03] <scampbell> dpkg -S /bin/login   give you login        apt-get source login    redirects to shadow but can't find it.
[17:03] <SmokeyD> hi everyone. Can't I install an Ubuntu live iso on a 1.9GB USB stick? I am using usb-creator-gtk which complains the stick is too small for the image
[17:04] <scampbell> I was actually looking into that su/sg have to do to deal with pam properly but it's rather disturbing to realize there's no way to compile my own login and friends to ensure no backdoor.
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> alimj: lxde is fantastic, these days I just run Fluxbox with xcompmgr so I can run docky :)
[17:05] <jpmh1> SmokeyD:  try using unetbootin - it certainly allows it on a 2G stick - I have never heard of a 1.9G one
[17:06] <scampbell> btw, in the original debian  login does indeed refer to shadow and that source package exists.
[17:06] <tgm4883> scampbell, 'apt-get source login' works for me (downloads shadow source). Did you disable the srouce repos?
[17:06] <SmokeyD> jpmh1: all the sitcks I have that list 2Gb are actually 1.9Gb. I guess this is the difference between 1000MB in a GB versus 1024MB in a GB
[17:06] <kc102> How do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/yXRdQs0c
[17:06] <scampbell> I'll double check, I would be elated to find out I've monkeyed it up someplace but I'm getting source repos for other things.  Certainly worth closer inspection.. You are on 12.04?
[17:06] <jpmh1> SmokeyD:  what is telling you that it is 1.9G, I am running ubuntu and it tells me that my 2G stick is 2G
[17:07] <tgm4883> scampbell, yep
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> kc102: does the file exist?
[17:07] <giancarlo> ciao
[17:07] <trism> scampbell: you can always grab it directly from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow or packages.ubuntu.com or pull-lp-source in the ubuntu-dev-tools package
[17:08] <SmokeyD> jpmh1: unetbootin doesn't complain. Weird. I though usb-creator-gtk was the "official" ubuntu way of doing it
[17:08] <kc102> Action: There is no .safetable
[17:08] <kc102> Do I need to create it?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> kc102: can't hurt to try
[17:09] <tgm4883> scampbell, if it helps, here is my deb-src line   "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse restricted universe main"
[17:09] <kc102> I made it. I'll see if I get the error any more. :)
[17:09] <scampbell> got it, was a missing deb-src line.  Much better :)
[17:10] <jpmh1> SmokeyD:  glad it worked.  I have seen weird things with anythig I have tried other than unetbootin so I am not completely surprised.  I certainly do not like the menu that unetbootin generates compared to the others
[17:12] <flam_> how can i enable mms streaming to work with ubuntu and firefox? i have the following plugins installed: windows media player plug-in 10, vlc multimedia plugin but the streaming won't work
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> flam_: how about if you copy the link, then run your media player and open the location, is it ok?
[17:15] <jhutchins_wk> !doesn't work
[17:15] <flam_> it won't work
[17:15] <flam_> tried with vlc and totem
[17:15] <flam_> just installing restricted-extras
[17:15] <jrib> jhutchins_wk: are you psychic?
[17:16] <savio> don't make fun of anybody ?
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> flam_: tried mplayer-gnome ?
[17:18] <flam_> not yet
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> flam_: http://blog.moes.as/2009/07/make-mms-stream-work-with-firefox-on.html
[17:20] <flam_> thanks, i'll look at that
[17:21] <Phyisicist> greetings... Today I really need one plausible answer guys!
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: to what question?
[17:22] <savio> what is guest account on ubuntu 12.10
[17:22] <llutz> savio: a design-flaw
[17:22] <Phyisicist> In my O.S. Ubuntu 10.04, the pulseadio is uninstalled. Meantime, I installed the alsa, and I have not audio in my system.. All MUTE..
[17:22] <savio> is it part of lightdm
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> savio: it is an account that can be used by anyone. I believe the settings are non-persistant
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: is this a desktop OS?
[17:23] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: That one ^
[17:23] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: Yes!
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: then it is EOL in less than a month. I recommend you upgrade to Precise asap
[17:23] <llutz> savio: add "allow-guest=false" to "[SeatDefaults]" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to get rid of it
[17:24] <savio> ActionParsnip, yes I know that ? for gest account we don't have any entry in /etc/groups of /etc/passwd file
[17:24] <jrib> llutz: why do you say it's a design flaw?
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> savio: yes, its a guest, it has very little power etc.
[17:24] <llutz> jrib: no system has to have a guest accoun
[17:24] <llutz> t
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> llutz: they are convenient though
[17:24] <llutz> except kiosk
[17:24] <savio> i know the configuration . i want to know how this is integrated with linux
[17:24] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: So, Should I upgrade to Ubuntu Precise? I like LL..
[17:25] <jhutchins_wk> Phyisicist: Upgrading to more current software may solve the problem.  If not, we will be more familiar with what might be wrong.
[17:25] <a512> Hello
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: you can use it and it will run as long as it can, but after it goes EOL you will get zero updates and zero support in any of the official support channels
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: your release is quite old and many newer versions have been released of most of what you are using.
[17:26] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: In fact, I am in that O.S. because backtrack.. My current version is the latest back | track 5 r3
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: backtrac isn't supportd here, it is supported in #backtrack-linux
[17:26] <Oins> Hi. How can I change the number of workspaces at 12.04? (without ubuntu-tweaks)
[17:27] <llutz> ActionParsnip: they might be convenient, but they shouldn't be activated by default.
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> llutz: oh absolutely, but remember the audience of ubuntu etc
[17:27] <n000b> aaargh how do i set the password of a new user account?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> n000b: sudo passwd usernameyoumade
[17:27] <llutz> n000b: as new user: passwd
[17:27] <tcstar> so i finally got a jailed user setup...  but it it can now, no longer access the symlink created by ln -s  and the terminal has no coloring like my non-jailed user does...   i followed this guide:  http://allanfeid.com/content/creating-chroot-jail-ssh-access
[17:28] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: Yes, I know..... I am here because I think in the base.. But it is ok.. I appreciate the advice..
[17:28] <jrib> n000b: how did you create the account?
[17:28] <n000b> llutz what is the "old" password of a new created user?
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: the base is moot, you are using backtrack.
[17:28] <llutz> n000b: you know
[17:28] <n000b> llutz never set one empty is not accepted
[17:28] <llutz> n000b: so see ActionParsnip , sudo passwd username
[17:28] <n000b> jrib with the system settings user gnome dialogue
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> n000b: yes because empty passwords aren't good at all
[17:29] <jrib> n000b: if you ran passwd with sudo you shouldn't be asked the old password
[17:29] <djshotglass> so i have tried to setup raid twice on this damn machine it works fine (only shows 1 drive called raid) until the updates are done
[17:29] <djshotglass> then it shows all the drives
[17:29] <Phyisicist> ActionParsnip: Thank you. I will there in backtrack-linux..
[17:29] <jrib> n000b: more specifically, "sudo passwd USERNAME"
[17:29] <djshotglass> after it installs the nvidia drivers
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> Phyisicist: thanks
[17:30] <Bry90820> is thre a terminal command to enable the onscreen keybored
[17:30] <djshotglass> its not softraid its onboard hardware raid
[17:30] <djshotglass> makes no sense to me
[17:30] <n000b> jrib llutz ActionParsnip thanks that worked... why was it removed from gnome system settings user dialogue?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> Bry90820: press ALT+F2 and run:  onboard   or: gok
[17:30] <Phyisicist> jhutchins_wk: Thank you too..
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> n000b: no idea, I don't use those GUI things, too slow
[17:31] <Phyisicist> Bye Bye channel.. Good day for all..
[17:31] <kc102> Is there a way for me to have Firefox auto highlight what's in a textbos (the search box and url bar) automatically like it does on Windows?
[17:31] <n000b> ActionParsnip: actually passwd was first i tried after that gui, but i did su newuser and then passwd asks for old "never set" password
[17:32] <jrib> n000b: it sounds strange that you weren't asked to set a password when you created the new user using the gui, but I also have not used that dialog
[17:33] <sdw25> I upgraded my pc to windows 8 using download and upgrade method the problem I have is that I had ubuntu installed with ubuntu and now i cant asscess ubuntu it show up in boot screen but I get this \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr status 0xc000000e file broken or missing
[17:33] <n000b> jrib: yeah its strange i did exspect that to be asked too. also i did expect to be able to set it from there but its jsut deactivated as default ?? hmmm
[17:34] <giancarlo> ATTENZIONE: Non e' stata intercettata la versione originale di lynx.
[17:34] <giancarlo> Questo script e' in grado di funzionare sono con lynx e non links2.
[17:34] <bcbc2> sdw25: did you reformat your drive?
[17:34] <sdw25> no
[17:34] <DJones> !it | giancarlo
[17:35] <bcbc2> sdw25: is the \ubuntu directory still there?
[17:35] <sdw25> no its gone in the program files
[17:35] <Bry90820> ActionParsnip is there also a way to disable the onscreen keyboard once enabled
[17:36] <bcbc2> sdw25: it should exist on C:\ubuntu or whatever x:\ you installed on
[17:36] <kc102> Is there a way for me to have Firefox auto highlight what's in a textbos (the search box and url bar) automatically like it does on Windows?

[17:37] <taranis_> hi all
[17:39] <sdw25> im sorry but its gone after fresh install I didnt keep anything all I have is a windows old file that i tried to delete but some files could not be deleted
[17:40] <taranis__> Which logs would I check if my systems locked up completely to see what cased the lock up?
[17:40] <taranis__> caused*
[17:40] <sayres> i installed xubuntu 12.4 .i installed tor with vidalia but when i start vidalia appear this error : Would you like to browse for the file 'control_auth_cookie' yourself? what do you think?
[17:41] <bcbc2> sdw25: if it's gone, then the Ubuntu install is also gone. You'd do best to remove the boot entry from the bcd store. See this: http://askubuntu.com/a/145605/14916
[17:41] <away> taranis__, you could start with /var/log/syslog
[17:41] <StephenS> what is good weather gadget for ubuntu 12.10 but not my-weather-indicator as that does not work!
[17:41] <bcbc2> sdw25: if you have a backup of the \ubuntu directory from before you can recover the old install - otherwise there is no way I now of
[17:42] <Bry90820> is there a terminal command to enable he onscreen keyboard and then another one to disable
[17:43] <sdw25> so will this remove the ubuntu dual boot logo at start up
[17:44] <tapas> hi, i wonder: is there a chance for a qt5 backport to precise?
[17:44] <bcbc2> sdw25: it will remove the boot manager screen with the two blue squares offering Windows and Ubuntu
[17:44] <sdw25> then can i install it back
[17:45] <taranis__> away,  syslog's don't show anything. It may be impossible for the system to write logs as it seems that writing anything to disk is causing the lock up in the first place
[17:45] <bcbc2> sdw25: yes or do a normal dual boot. Then you don't have to worry about losing it.
[17:45] <ghatak> Hi guys, how do I make unity start in a vnc xstartup script ?
[17:46] <sdw25> ok thank you ill try to do the steps a little complicated for me lol
[17:46] <bcbc2> sdw25: np
[17:47] <SuperLag> If I'm configuring Thunderbird to connect to an Exchange account is one protocol to be preferred over another? I've got two options. IMAP and a plugin that connects to webmail.
[17:47] <compdoc> ghatak,  /usr/bin/gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d &
[17:47] <compdoc> but there are some other edits
[17:47] <SuperLag> I know there's an aspect where it's personal preference.... but I'm wondering if one protocol has a benefit over the other.
[17:47] <taranis__> Is there a specific reason that luks encryption would cause a system lock up on write through?
[17:49] <root__> ciao
[17:49] <root__> c'è qualcuno in linea
[17:49] <root__> ?
[17:49] <Seveas> !it | root__
[17:50] <tcstar> So -- how can i give a jailed ssh user access to a different folder?  I have a symlink in his jailed folder -- but he can't cd into it..  there's also no color in his terminal so need to figure that one out too
[17:50] <Seveas> tcstar: bindmount the folder into the chroot
[17:51] <tcstar> how do i do that?
[17:53] <sdw25> i also believe that the partition for it is still there is there away to combine it back with the whole hardrive
[17:54] <bcbc2> sdw25: wubi doesn't install on a partition. it install to a file (virtual partition). If you deleted the folder, it's gone
[17:55] <sdw25> all ok when i run bcdedit nothing happens
[17:55] <bcbc2> sdw25: when you run CMD.EXE, you have to select "Run as Administrator"
[17:56] <stupidBYdefault> hello
[17:56] <bcbc2> !who | sdw25
[17:56] <tcstar> Seveas -- i got that worked out so thanks for the bindmount tip instead of ln -s...  next problem i'm having is the terminal looks like crap.. when i login to mine:  username@host: /blah/bllah..  when i log into the jailed:  -bash-4.2$  and has no coloring...  how can i fix that?
[17:59] <StephenS> Is there any weather forecast widget for ubuntu 12.10 which works? ?
[17:59] <|Anthony|> i have a 2TB drive that's ~ 75% full. I just got 3 more 2TB drives. I want to make a raid of all 4 drives and keep the data thats on the first drive. Am i in for a headache?
[18:00] <stupidBYdefault> is it normal for update manager "Requires installation of untrusted packages" - chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n chromium-codecs-ffmpeg libnm-gtk-common libnm-gtk0 network-manager-gnome
[18:00] <stupidBYdefault> and stops?
[18:00] <stupidBYdefault> any1 copy?
[18:00] <|Anthony|> Am i able to make a raid of the 3 new drives, put the data from the original drive on that raid, then add the 4th drive to the raid?
[18:01] <|Anthony|> something like taht
[18:01] <|Anthony|> total raid newb here
[18:02] <froek_> |Anthony|, you can add drives to an array but you need to use tools to grow it
[18:02] <GranoSalis> hi
[18:02] <froek_> |Anthony|, what are you using to manage your raid
[18:02] <GranoSalis> does someone in here use Awesome WM?
[18:02] <SwedMike> |Anthony|: if you use mdadm, yes, this is possible.
[18:03] <|Anthony|> froek_, i'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID right now, but it looks like it's outdated
[18:03] <|Anthony|> i haven' t built the raid yet
[18:03] <SwedMike> |Anthony|: look for documentation on "mdadm" and "md raid"
[18:03] <robertzaccour> My usb mic used to be recognized in Ubuntu but no longer is?
[18:03] <robertzaccour> I used it about 10 days ago
[18:03] <robertzaccour> any suggestions?
[18:03] <|Anthony|> i've just acquired the drives and am trying to plan my deployment
[18:04] <jhutchins_wk> StephenS: They all work.
[18:04] <froek_> |Anthony|, i reccomend mdadm
[18:04] <dufa> Evening, I can't seem to lift a wireless hardblock on a Toshiba satellite C660D-16J laptop in ubuntu. It's it works fine in the win7 mut not in ubuntu, which is odd. Any pointers?
[18:04] <|Anthony|> k
[18:04] <|Anthony|> thanks folks, i'll read up on mdadm then
[18:06] <robertzaccour> I've been using Ubuntu for years, but if it no longer supports usb mics, that may be a deal breaker.
[18:06] <|Anthony|> check with alsa and pulseaudio
[18:06] <|Anthony|> but if it worked 10 days ago, you might want to verify it in another OS
[18:06] <taranis__> Hi all, I have been having periodic system lockups using a full system encryption with luks. I have described my issues here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2125287&p=12555929#post12555929 any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[18:07] <jhutchins_wk> dufa: Lifting a hardblock sounds like something to do with carpentry.  What are you really trying to do?
[18:07] <robertzaccour> I clicked the volume icon and its not in the input settings
[18:08] <robertzaccour> My usb mic used to be in the input settings less that 2 weeks ago
[18:08] <robertzaccour> I'm about to try it in the latest 13.04 build
[18:08] <|Anthony|> i'm suggesting that you verify the mic didn't break
[18:08] <dufa> jhutchins_wk: right, what I mean is that "rfkill list" says that my wireless has a hard block
[18:09] <robertzaccour> how could a mic break?
[18:09] <|Anthony|> robertzaccour, or that the usb port isn't broke
[18:09] <robertzaccour> I got it new a few months ago
[18:09] <|Anthony|> wires break very easily
[18:09] <|Anthony|> only takes a little tug in the wrong direction
[18:09] <dufa> jhutchins_wk: there is a fn + f8 that is suppose to enable and disable the wireless but it is doesnt work
[18:09] <robertzaccour> flash drive detected in all 3 USB ports
[18:10] <jhutchins_wk> dufa: All I know is that rfkill is supposed to work around that.
[18:10] <jhutchins_wk> dufa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[18:10] <|Anthony|> ok, then it's not the port. verify the mic works in another machine
[18:10] <trisquel12> hello
[18:10] <robertzaccour> I tried it in a daily build I mounted to the usb flash drive last week
[18:11] <robertzaccour> still the same, so trying a current one
[18:11] <jhutchins_wk> robertzaccour: dmesg should show some ativity when it's plugged in.
[18:11] <|Anthony|> ^
[18:11] <dufa> jhutchins_wk: i'll take a look, thanks
[18:11] <petan> I am wondering why ubuntu has 1 channel for everything... this channel is such a mess with so many people talking o.O there should be a separate channel for every version :P
[18:11] <Tex_Nick> robertzaccour:  you might also see if it's listed in lsusb
[18:12] <robertzaccour> Tex_Nick, plugged and unplugged lsusb shows the same output
[18:14] <BHSPiMonkey> Is anyone aware of how to work around FGLRX caveats in 12.04? (Namely, how can one move the unity panel to a different display since the Display settings panel does not work, and is there a fix for the drag-and-drop behavior)
[18:14] <robertzaccour> Tex_Nick, so if it worked fine less than 2 weeks ago, and doesn't now, you think the mic is broke?
[18:14] <robertzaccour> I know, I'll try it in my ps3
[18:14] <robertzaccour> that's the only other "computer" I've got
[18:14] <jhutchins_wk> robertzaccour: dmesg
[18:14] <Tex_Nick> robertzaccour:  that would be a good start :)
[18:15] <lapdev> Hi there, Ive been having issues with Ubuntu 12.04 after a recent upgrade/update which caused my intel integrated video to not function on boot... i would see the ubuntu logo, then a black screen with no back-light. I am on a MSI Wind U100 laptop, and it functioned great before the update. I found some documentation about changing modeset in grub, and did so which gave me video back, but it;'s not proper. I can only use unity 2d and
[18:15] <lapdev> it's ugly. Could someone help me with this issue? As i would like to find a remove ALL video drivers and install ones which will function with my hardware. Thank you.
[18:15] <shortstraw8> What video editor do you use? I am looking for a video editor that I can edit my movies from my camera and Iphone, also would like an easy to use dvd ripper that I can put my dvd on my hard drive seems the one that I used in the past does not get past security (acidrip). Ubuntu 12.04 is my system
[18:17] <jhutchins_wk> shortstraw8: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/top5-linux-video-editing-system-software/
[18:18] <robertzaccour> its not showing up in the audio devices on my ps3
[18:18] <robertzaccour> I remember last night I took it off my head and it wrapped around my music bullet and got tangled and dangled for a bit
[18:18] <stupidBYdefault> hello, what is the name for slovenian channel?
[18:19] <robertzaccour> if its not recognized in the ps3, it must be broken.
[18:19] <stupidBYdefault> any one ??
[18:19] <shortstraw8> jhutchins_wk,  Do you use one you like? If not thanks for the info.
[18:19] <lapdev> Hi there is anyone available to give me a hand sorting out an issue Ive encountered with correctly configuring Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller with ubuntu 12.04
[18:20] <stupidBYdefault> hello, what is the name for Slovenian (Slovenija) channel?
[18:20] <lapdev> stupidBYdefault, trying google.ca
[18:20] <adamk> lapdev: Just ask your question.  If someone can help, they will.
[18:20] <robertzaccour> man I guess the damn thing is broken :-(
[18:20] <lapdev> adamk,  Hi there, Ive been having issues with Ubuntu 12.04 after a recent upgrade/update which caused my intel integrated video to not function on boot... i would see the ubuntu logo, then a black screen with no back-light.

[18:22] <sbaugh_> Is there a command line command I can run that will log me out of my current xsession in lightdm?
[18:22] <sbaugh> Preferably one that doesn't take root
[18:25] <jhutchins_wk> shortstraw8: I've used the first two, and iirc I mostly used avidemux, but it's been a few years.
[18:26] <Ziber> What iptables rule can I put in to allow all traffic on my ipv6 tunnel so that my ip6tables can function correctly?
[18:27] <jhutchins_wk> lapdev: By using the nomodeswitch command you've disabled the framebuffer, which the 3d driver requires.  You're probably using the VESA driver as a  fallback.

[18:34] <todayn00b> hello, can someone please tel me how to disable unity desktop  and webistes integration
[18:35] <robertzaccour> I just figured out what I'm gonna do about my non-working usb mic
[18:35] <robertzaccour> I'm gonna buy a new one, take it out, put the broke one in the package, and return it and say its broke
[18:35] <xangua> todayn00b: if you don't like unity use other desktop
[18:35] <robertzaccour> which it is
[18:35] <robertzaccour> todayn00b, I use gnome shell with docky running
[18:36] <raven> whats wrong with following 1 line command? wait is not working anyhow while true; do mplayer -playlist "$dirpls"1.pls -loop 0 -geometry 320x240+0+0 -screenw 320 -screenh 240; wait 1000; done &
[18:36] <bean> should be sleep
[18:36] <bean> not wait
[18:36] <todayn00b> 12.1 firefox is not loading, I know almost nothing about ubuntu, thought diabiling unity fixes firefox
[18:36] <llutz> raven: "help wait"
[18:36] <SolarisBoy> wait is to wait on jobs right?
[18:36] <llutz> yep
[18:37] <llutz> wait <pid>
[18:37] <SolarisBoy> and if no args just wait on backgrounded ones
[18:37] <SolarisBoy> methinks
[18:37] <lapdev> jhutchins_wk, hi sorry for the late response i had to tinkle... :) I saw your post about the fallback VESA which u may be correct, but i recall seeing in the xorg.conf that the driver was set to "fbdev"
[18:39] <jhutchins_wk> lapdev: try moving/renaming xorg.conf
[18:39] <todayn00b> Anyone having issues with Firefox loading in 12.1, I have a fersh install with virtual box, all updates and now firefox wont start
[18:39] <jhutchins_wk> lapdev: /var/log/Xorg.0.log will have lots of noise but may have useful info when booted without nomodeset.
[18:39] <robertzaccour> todayn00b, have you tried chrome, chromium, or opera?
[18:40] <jhutchins_wk> todayn00b: _with_ virtualbox or _in_ virtualbox?  What happens if you try to launch it from a terminal?
[18:40] <darkmutt> how did i check what's the version of my nvidia driver in ubuntu??
[18:40] <todayn00b> whats the code to launch from term?
[18:40] <jhutchins_wk> todayn00b: Um, firefox
[18:40] <todayn00b> i have not tried chrome et al yet
[18:40] <lapdev> jhutchins_wk, i realise what you're saying, which ive tried the rename/removing xorg.conf so it would build a new one.... this boot which i just booted is using 'i915.modeset=1' in /etc/default/grub which the computer seems to boot properly now without leaving me a blank screen, but it seems the drivers are still improper
[18:40] <robertzaccour> I'm gonna go to the store, buy a usb mic, take it out of the package, later replace it with my non-working mic, then return it another day.
[18:41] <todayn00b> jhutchins- my first day with ubuntu as u can tell
[18:41] <todayn00b> yeah that worked, derp
[18:41] <robertzaccour> I think there should be an offical Ubuntu xat chat
[18:42] <robertzaccour> oops offtopic sorry
[18:42] <todayn00b> another easy question, how can i launch a process monitor?
[18:42] <lapdev> todayn00b, in terminal type :top
[18:42] <dodo3773> darkmutt: apt-cache show packagename    <-- like that??
[18:43] <marinus> hi guys, could i ask for some help on installing ubuntu? i have been using it for a few years and bought the asus zenbook prime today (model UX31A). Been reading the Ubuntu page how to install it through USB. I am seeing the UEFI boot screen just perfectly (I am seeing: Try ubuntu without installing, Install ubuntu, etc.), but as soon as I try one the options, the screen goes black and I can't do anything. Anyone can give me a hand? I am dying to see Ubun
[18:43] <marinus> tu on my new laptop :D
[18:43] <lapdev> darkmutt, if you're trying to search: sudo apt-cache search packagename
[18:43] <marinus> oh and i created two separate usb sticks with the startup creator just to make sure it's not an USB stick fault
[18:44] <marinus> same problem on both
[18:44] <robertzaccour> marienz, in the boot menu change the F12 boot settings to enabled and make sure USB boot is enabled as well.
[18:45] <marinus> robertzaccour, i am seeing the grub boot screen that is loaded of the USB, should i still check the USB  boot is enabled?
[18:45] <todayn00b> how would I kill the firefox process
[18:45] <marinus> todayn00b, run : pkill -9 firefox
[18:45] <robertzaccour> marinus, it couldn't hurt. Also maybe consider getting an external usb disc drive?
[18:46] <huttan> !nomodeset | marinus
[18:46] <marinus> thanks huttan, will check that out  right away
[18:47] <darkmutt> thanks lapdev cause I was trying to check why I can't see any webgl graphics on my system
[18:47] <todayn00b> thanks! now how do I disable unity web apps in firefox?
[18:47] <preyalone> Will the next version of Ubuntu have more WiFi drivers? It's hard to download the Surface Pro WiFi driver when you don't have an Internet connection..
[18:47] <lapdev> darkmutt, welcome
[18:48] <todayn00b> ok, easy enough, in the extensions disables
[18:50] <todayn00b> is 16:9 resolutions not working with virtual box/ubuntu 12.1??
[18:50] <marinus> huttan, unfortunately that didnt work either, i also tried nomodeset without the "quiet splash" params
[18:51] <marinus> lcd backlight is turned on
[18:51] <marinus> just no graphics, screen is black
[18:51] <lapdev> rebooting
[18:55] <adamk> todayn00b: Do you have the virtualbox guest additions installed?
[18:55] <todayn00b> yes guest add is installed and all ubuntu updates
[18:56] <todayn00b> adamk:

[19:01] <Camouflages> question? installed Ubuntu 12.10, install went perfectly, but after reboot, can only get into shell, the desktop complains about channels failing?  any idea.. 32bit / pent4 system
[19:02] <packetfrog> Prbly cant run unity
[19:02] <packetfrog> need graphics processor
[19:02] <todayn00b> anyone have an IRC for wifislax 4.3?
[19:02] <Camouflages> any work around?
[19:03] <packetfrog> Camouflages, Install xfce or something else
[19:03] <packetfrog> todayn00b, its on undernet
[19:04] <llutz> Camouflages: you don't even get the grphical login-screen? then its not a matter of the windowmanager/desktop-env
[19:04] <marinus> oh yeah, found it :)
[19:04] <berto-> i have a desktop system that will stop at the grub screen if the machine crashes; is there a way to stop it from doing that?
[19:04] <marinus> i overlooked the secure boot option in the bios
[19:04] <marinus> i feel so blind, haha
[19:06] <Camouflages> I get to the login screen...   accepts user, but then goes to blank screen with shell like commands about channels freezing
[19:10] <Camouflages> not many questions being asked, is everyone going to private channels from Ubuntu?
[19:11] <tgm4883> Camouflages, channels failing?
[19:11] <hpubuntu> hey there I am running Ubuntu 12.04,  while installing "kde-plasma-desktop" something had interupted the installation or download,    now once I try to install it says this "sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
[19:11] <hpubuntu> sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/lustic/0: Read-only file system
[19:11] <hpubuntu> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock

[19:11] <hpubuntu> E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."    Can someone help ?
[19:12] <todayn00b> anyone having issues with 16:9 resolutions with 12.1 on virtual box?
[19:12] <todayn00b> whats the command to minimize all windows on desktop
[19:12] <Camouflages> hpubuntu, sounds like your acessing the CD
[19:13] <hpubuntu> accessing the CD ?
[19:13] <hpubuntu> something had interupted the installation "my friend"   now it says that when entering the command to install plasma desktop
[19:13] <Camouflages> hpubunty  yes, you referred to its saying its "read only"
[19:14] <hpubuntu> that's the output it ives me
[19:14] <hpubuntu> what do I do to fix it ?
[19:14] <carif> when I do a clean install of ubuntu, say raring, is there a way to enumerate all the packages that come with the fresh install, before I start installing additional packages like 'emacs24'?
[19:14] <carif> i know i could have done 'dpkg --list' into a file, but i didn't do that
[19:15] <Camouflages> I think you have to add the "respositories" at ubuntu.com
[19:15] <hpubuntu> no ideas?  this happened before , someone had told me how to fix it, with like dpkg-a or something but that's not it,
[19:16] <th1sabl3> hi, anyone can help me: any .png, .jpeg image appear with serration around it in my web browser (Firefox and Google Chrome)?
[19:16] <Camouflages> hpubuntu, that does sound like a good idea.. check syntax and try again
[19:17] <tgm4883> hpubuntu, I'd say 'apt-get -f install' but a RO filesystem sounds odd
[19:17] <hpubuntu> I am not that advanced,  please tell me how to do that lol

[19:17] <Camouflages> hpubuntu, unfortunately, Im a noob as well...
[19:18] <Shutterstrom> Hi, can someone tell me why Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS installs an old version of MiniDLNA if I run the command apt-get install minidlna?
[19:18] <hpubuntu> errr : /   locked
[19:20] <SolarisBoy> Shutterstrom: try apt-cache policy minidlna and see what versions are there - if your pulling from ubuntu repo's things aren't always cutting edge versions.
[19:20] <compdoc> Shutterstrom, thats just whats in the repo
[19:20] <DocPlatypus> Okay, apparently I did something stupid. When I go into System Settings/Sound/Sound Preferences, no sound devices show up, so Banshee, Totem, etc don't work. But I can play sounds at the command line just fine. Where should I begin?
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> Shutterstrom: thats where ppa's and other installation methods come in if you really need it
[19:21] <DocPlatypus> correction, now Banshee works, I don't know why
[19:21] <SolarisBoy> DocPlatypus: do you have an internal or external audio card?
[19:21] <DocPlatypus> SolarisBoy: internal
[19:22] <SolarisBoy> ok - cause that happened to me when my creative labs slipped out the usb lol
[19:22] <Shutterstrom> SolarisBoy / compdoc: Do you know why Ubuntu does not update the repository with newer versions of a software?
[19:22] <Pici> !latest | Shutterstrom
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> Shutterstrom: it's a team and it's their decision whats stable and what belongs in their pushes
[19:23] <SolarisBoy> Shutterstrom: just because something got updated to the latest version doesn't mean folks should run and use it -
[19:23] <Pici> SolarisBoy: Also, debian only has 1.24 for that package and we generally sync from debian.
[19:24] <SolarisBoy> Shutterstrom: ^
[19:24] <compdoc> Shutterstrom, some packages are created by users just like you that once got frustrated about how out of date a package was
[19:24] <Shutterstrom> SolarisBoy: Thanks
[19:25] <Shutterstrom> compdoc: and what is the reliability of 3:rd part repositories?
[19:25] <th1sabl3> \quit
[19:26] <SolarisBoy> other slash
[19:27] <compdoc> Shutterstrom, you should research any repos, or, learn how to compile the latest stable version from sourceforge or the project's home
[19:28] <Shutterstrom> compdoc: well I guess it's just trail and error untill success then :-)
[19:28] <SolarisBoy> some common sense, logic also
[19:28] <compdoc> Shutterstrom, just be sure the repo is a trusted one
[19:28] <raven> how to call 4 "screen" windows from a script?
[19:28] <MooFz> HI! Anyone knows how to pull passwords from a memory dump .raw file?
[19:29] <Shutterstrom> compdoc: and howe do I make sure the repos's a trusted one?
[19:30] <Pici> MooFz: Thats not on-topic for this channel.
[19:30] <MooFz> Where should I be? :P
[19:30] <bray90820> so is there a terminal command that enables the onscreen keyboard and then another one that disables it
[19:31] <Pici> MooFz: ##security maybe, I don't know.

[19:33] <MartynKeigher> i know its off topic but anyone pretty good with appache/XAMPP?
[19:34] <Pici> MartynKeigher: #httpd is the official support channel for apache httpd
[19:34] <MartynKeigher> i know but they didn't really help me to be honest
[19:34] <MartynKeigher> and they were rude about it.
[19:34] <MartynKeigher> so id rather not ;)

[19:35] <Pici> MartynKeigher: We can't support xampp installs here. If you want to use apache httpd on Ubuntu then you should be installing our packages.
[19:36] <aphid> having a rough time getting ubuntu (12.10) to work on a new laptop (amd64), I think mostly due to UEFI stuff.  I've installed and run boot-repair a couple times.  when I select ubuntu from the boot loader I get stuck at a gray screen
[19:36] <maveas> Srly? I was joking..
[19:36] <MartynKeigher> well i don't know if i need to install apache/xampp on the windows server that MySQL db is on OR the ubuntu box that houses the dashboard for the data I'm pulling to.
[19:36] <DocPlatypus> no idea how to fix my sound problem? I have sound working now but my device still doesn't show up in sound settings
[19:37] <MartynKeigher> i figured id keep it WITH the DB on the windows box
[19:37] <MartynKeigher> its ok maveas, sorry. just had my fill of shit in the other room that didntreally help me out very much
[19:37] <bray90820> so is there a terminal command that enables the onscreen keyboard and then another one that disables it
[19:37] <h00k> MartynKeigher: please keep the language appropriate in here
[19:38] <MartynKeigher> lol k
[19:38] <Shutterstrom> This might not be a strict Ubuntu question, but does anyone here have any knowledge on running Ubuntu server on a SSD disk compared to regular HDD?
[19:39] <jnix|w> i have probably the dumbest question ever asked in here. I'm a red hat user... however, what is the release name of 12.10? Quantal?
[19:39] <h00k> Shutterstrom: It will likely be faster
[19:39] <jnix|w> i'd gladly google it but i've borked my graphics driver and have no X
[19:40] <DJones> !12.10 | jnix|w
[19:40] <h00k> Shutterstrom: install and configuration is the same as it would be on an HHD
[19:40] <h00k> HDD*
[19:40] <jnix|w> DJones: thanks! :)
[19:42] <wayne__> Whats a good format to learn programming with linux?
[19:42] <aphid> i've tried using the regular install and getting boot-repair via apt-get and also from the 12.10 secure remix.  both with the same result
[19:43] <Shutterstrom> h00k, yeah. I was just wondering if an SSD could work as disk in a server or if it's more recomended to use a standard HDD, due to the fact that it's in a server. But I guess there just one way to find out :)
[19:46] <Tex_Nick> wayne__:  good is a rather subjective term, & this channel is specifically for ubuntu support issues ... you might ask in ##c, #python or #programming :)
[19:46] <oneliner> hey there, is there any app or script around that would run on a given hardware and give assesement of how viable the box is for ubuntu install?
[19:47] <marinus> hiya, how can i install the latest kernel on ubuntu 12.10?
[19:47] <usr13> Shutterstrom: One's going to work as well as another.  One minor issue to consider maybe is that read/write time will be a bit faster on SSD.
[19:47] <marinus> i prefer to be notified about it automatically everytime a new kernel comes out
[19:47] <packetfrog> oneliner What are you trying to install on?
[19:48] <auronandace> !latest | marinus
[19:48] <auronandace> !kernel | marinus
[19:48] <marinus> !Mainline kernel
[19:49] <marinus> !Maniline
[19:49] <marinus> !Mainline
[19:49] <Shutterstrom> usr13, I also read that the lifetime of an ssd is shorter if it's going to write a lot. and therefore might be better in a client. but it all depends on how much the server is reading and writing.
[19:49] <marinus> thanks auronandace
[19:49] <oneliner> packetfrog, rether migrate to,. when i installed 11.04 i had tons of issues which where described to me here as "your hardware is too new", ethernet woes, nvidia woes 2tb disk woes, in the end i ended up pimping the base install with so many ppa s am pretty sure something s gonna break if i try common path upgrade, am planning on migrating but would like to know if these issues are still ppa dependant for solution
[19:49] <oneliner> hence the test program am looking for
[19:49] <auronandace> marinus: no worries
[19:50] <oneliner> i guess it could be called a hardware complaince test
[19:50] <oneliner> beyond looking up compatibility hardware tables in html
[19:51] <auronandace> oneliner: 11.04 is no longer supported
[19:51] <packetfrog> I was thinking 11.04 is old
[19:51] <oneliner> auronandace, you dont say
[19:51] <packetfrog> get the new ubuntu and you should be fine unless you have some wierd hardware
[19:52] <packetfrog> I have lamer hardware and got it working pretty easy
[19:52] <wayne__> does linux know how to use the amd 8150?
[19:52] <oneliner> well 11.04 for example couldnt recognize a wired mainboard ethernet card
[19:52] <packetfrog> What kind of computer?
[19:52] <oneliner> i needed to roll back the kernel driver
[19:52] <marinus> how can i find out the latest kernel version for ubuntu 12.10?
[19:52] <oneliner> amd six core, pretty standard now i guess
[19:52] <civilianirc> hi..anyone please help me: im on Ubuntu 10.04. Any of .png and .jpeg images appear with serration around it in my web browser (Firefox and Google Chrome)? How to remove the serration and make the images looks good?
[19:53] <xangua> !linux | marinus

[19:53] <packetfrog> oneliner,  Is it a brand/model computer?
[19:54] <packetfrog> such as dell 5650-eliteneatchit
[19:54] <oneliner> packetfrog, no
[19:54] <oneliner> assembled it myself
[19:54] <packetfrog> oneliner The hardware compatibility program you are looking for is ubuntu.iso
[19:54] <packetfrog> boot it live
[19:54] <packetfrog> test your hardware
[19:54] <packetfrog> :)
[19:55] <FloodBot1> packetfrog: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:55] <marinus> xangua, what happens if i install it from the quantal repo? will i have to upgrade it manually everytime? or are kernel updates always manual?
[19:55] <oneliner> thought as much
[19:55] <packetfrog> FloodBot1, I am not so you shush
[19:55] <oneliner> the enter as punctuation does stand thought :P

[19:59] <marinus> auronandace, which kernel version is recommended to install on ubuntu 12.10?
[19:59] <auronandace> marinus: the one that ships with 12.10
[19:59] <packetfrog> raven screen -t screenname
[19:59] <marinus> i see
[20:00] <packetfrog> marinus whatever is in the repo's is the newest version ubuntu supports
[20:00] <auronandace> marinus: it gets regularly updated
[20:00] <usr13> marinus: it comes with a "generic" kernel.
[20:00] <packetfrog> unless you want to compile your own
[20:00] <marinus> the ubuntu manual om my laptop (zenbook prime ux31a) rrecommends upgrading to mainline kernel
[20:00] <raven> packetfrog, the script shall start 4 processes in a screen session with 4 windows
[20:00] <packetfrog> raven screen -t screenname
[20:00] <packetfrog> four times
[20:00] <packetfrog> with four names
[20:00] <packetfrog> or try man screen
[20:00] <marinus> okay, i like the generic kernel, because it is updated regularly, i dont want to break that mechanism :)

[20:02] <raven> packetfrog, ok tnx
[20:02] <MoPac> Hello; I'm looking for some help with configuration of hooks or modules when creating initrd images for my kernel.  After repairing a kernel from a live USB, the boot process "forgot" that it needed to open my LUKS container to find the boot partition.  I have restored an old kernel image that works, but I'm worried that this is going to happen again on next kernel upgrade / image build.  What do?
[20:03] <axisys_> posted this question on #linuxjournal as well
[20:03] <packetfrog> raven, For you, Anytime.
[20:03] <raven> ;)

[20:07] <Dartellum> Hello, anyone have a good reason (other than newer) to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10?
[20:08] <auronandace> Dartellum: in my book newer is the only reason
[20:08] <Dartellum> right, thus my question
[20:08] <levo> how can make sure if my graphic card's drive is installed correctly, or is up to date?
[20:09] <packetfrog> levo Can you see this?
[20:09] <levo> packetfrog: see what?
[20:09] <packetfrog> levo Then it works, sudo apt-get upgrade   to upgrade your software
[20:09] <Luy1n> hey everybody! I've got a problem with my WLAN, any experts on this here? :)
[20:10] <emjay25> Luy1n, what's the problem
[20:10] <levo> packetfrog: i don't mean if it works, maybe it doesn't support the whole capabilities,
[20:10] <packetfrog> What kind of card is it
[20:10] <Luy1n> it crashes sometimes and only restarts when I log off and on again (Ubuntu 12.04)
[20:10] <auronandace> levo: lsmod will show you what modules are loaded (one of which will be the graphics driver)
[20:11] <levo> packetfrog: intell 4500 chipset family
[20:11] <Camouflages> when I tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  nothing happens"  supposed to be able to configure it
[20:12] <Luy1n> emjay25 any ideas?
[20:12] <Dartellum> auronandace, I saw somewhere some features in Wine only work with the newer kernel of 12.10. If no other compelling reason, exist, I may stay at 12.04.02 for a bit longer.
[20:13] <emjay25> Luy1n, what kind of wireless card you got?
[20:13] <Luy1n> Ralink RT5390
[20:13] <streulma> Dartellum: you can install wine from a ppa
[20:13] <emjay25> 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[20:13] <auronandace> Dartellum: the newer kernels are available in 12.04's repos
[20:13] <Luy1n> lspci | grep -i network
[20:14] <Luy1n> 01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe. 64 bit
[20:14] <Dartellum> yes, wine is installed, no worries there
[20:14] <Dartellum> I compile my own for certain games
[20:14] <Dartellum> but I ran across a comment about a feature only working in the kernel version in 12.10
[20:15] <Dartellum> I have 64bit
[20:15] <emjay25> Luy1n, did you just recently upgrade?
[20:15] <Luy1n> yes, today as every day. But the problem occurs frequently
[20:15] <gustav_> Is there any way to forcibly put a process on an exclusive core in a multi-core system?
[20:16] <emjay25> Luy1n, well has it ever worked? or has it always been effed up?
[20:16] <levo> what could be the reason for this: when i run a program like totem, firefox or . . the cpu goes 100% for seconds and after that it gets back to normal like 10%. i didn't have this problem before. (it always get overheated)
[20:16] <Luy1n> seems it has always been an issue
[20:16] <packetfrog> levo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2097966  that would be a good start for driver
[20:16] <lostme> Hey, I still work on Openvpn on Ubu Server, I tried to get a certificate signed by my own with "sudo openssl ca -config ca.cnf -in xx.req -out newcerts/xx.crt -notext", but I get only "usr/ssl/serial: no such file or directory" and "error while loading serial number". What's wrong?
[20:18] <Jordan_U> gustav_: What do you expect to gain from doing so?
[20:18] <gustav_> jordan: Secret.
[20:18] <hidnshadows> Hey guys, how do I reset my login keyring? I had to change my password since I forgot it, and now it isn't letting me use the keyring. I don't care about what was on it, I just need a new one
[20:19] <jrib> gustav_: man taskset
[20:19] <Luy1n> emjay25: can  I give you any more information
[20:19] <Luy1n> ?
[20:20] <emjay25> Luy1n, how far away are you from the router?
[20:21] <Jordan_U> gustav_: That sounds a little silly to me. Yes, it is possible, and it's called "CPU Affinity" but I doubt that it will actually help you in any way as the kernel is pretty good at optimising things properly automatically, and you're mostly *removing* options from the kernel by setting affinity.
[20:21] <dd_> hello. i'm setting up my FQDN ex: server-name.example.com. does that url need to actually do something if you go to it? right now it's just returning 404
[20:21] <gustav_> jordan: Removing options sounds great.
[20:21] <Luy1n> that depends. right now it's one storey above me. Sometimes two, but sometimes (when I'm at University) quite near
[20:22] <emjay25> Luy1n, but the signal is strong, aye?
[20:22] <Luy1n> rather to be called ok atm
[20:22] <emjay25> Luy1n, are you sure it's not your router?
[20:22] <snape> dd_ what will the server be doing?
[20:22] <Luy1n> not sure. How can I find out?
[20:23] <emjay25> you try connecting to it from any other computers?
[20:23] <gustav_> Where is the default taskset made?
[20:23] <dd_> snape: it's a web server
[20:23] <Luy1n> Yesterday I was sitting right next to it and it was still not working. Yes, one other Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit is having problems with it. Windows PCs in the house do work fine.
[20:23] <jhutchins_wk> Luy1n: Wifi is not particularly reliable unless you're always in the same location and there's not much human traffic between you and the AP/Router.
[20:24] <jrib> gustav_: can you just ask your real question?
[20:24] <Luy1n> AP?
[20:24] <Morten_> Hi - Has anyone tried to stream audio from Ubuntu to an AirPlay receiver? (E.g. Mac, AppleTV etc.)
[20:24] <emjay25> access point
[20:24] <gustav_> jrib: Which is?
[20:24] <jhutchins_wk> Luy1n: Access Point
[20:24] <jrib> gustav_: only you would know.
[20:24] <gustav_> jrib: Ok.
[20:25] <Camouflages> Is there a buffer save option for IRC?
[20:25] <jhutchins_wk> Camouflages: Not for IRC, no.  Some clients will log traffic.
[20:25] <Luy1n> ok, so it might just be too much traffic when too many computers are trying to contact the same router?
[20:25] <Camouflages> thx
[20:25] <jhutchins_wk> Camouflages: IRC is just the protocol.
[20:25] <auronandace> !logs | Camouflages
[20:25] <emjay25> Luy1n, that could definitely create some problems
[20:26] <witcheyes> hi
[20:26] <emjay25> Luy1n, try connecting to the same network with a different device
[20:26] <Camouflages> Ubottu  that works :)
[20:26] <emjay25> Luy1n, if you get the same results then it's probably the network
[20:26] <gustav_> jrib: What I would like to do, this isn't a question, is give the process of the currently focused window on my desktop, in WindowMaker, an exclusive core. So that it can always max processor. Not interested in your opinions on scheduling.
[20:26] <Luy1n> is it possible that this happens 'just so'? I was connected to it yesterday for a long period, nothing changed but suddenly WLAN was gone
[20:26] <dryhay> hi. sometimes my ibus stops working. why? how to call it back? ubuntu forums related thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2116673
[20:27] <jrib> gustav_: but I told you the command to do that ...
[20:27] <gustav_> jrib: So what question do you want me to ask? Will you marry me? What?
[20:28] <tgm4883> lol
[20:28] <snape> dd_ if you're using vhosts apache will use the default vhost for your fqdn
[20:28] <emjay25> Luy1n, perhaps.. you really won't know for sure until you do some trouble shooting
[20:28] <Dartellum> Thanks... I will hang with 12.04.02 for a bit more. Back to work for me...
[20:28] <jrib> gustav_: good luck with your issue.
[20:28] <jhutchins_wk> Luy1n: That's usually a problem with the ap, not the client.  If the client is hibernating or something that can disconnect you.
[20:28] <Camouflages> is there an updated command for dpkg-reconfigure
[20:28] <levo> how to get hardware spec ?
[20:28] <twist3d> hmm... being arrogant when asking for help never results in a lot of support... just saying.
[20:28] <Luy1n> ok, thank you. Have you got any ideas what I could try to find the problem?
[20:29] <tgm4883> twist3d, +1
[20:29] <jhutchins_wk> Luy1n: You can look to see if there are any related entries in the logs and/or dmesg.
[20:29] <jhutchins_wk> Luy1n: It's usually not a software problem.
[20:30] <Luy1n> ok then it's nothing I can fix quickly tonight, I'll try that some other day ;) anyway, thanks a lot for your help, guys!
[20:31] <civilianirc1> ..
[20:32] <emjay25> Luy1n, ask other people on the network if they ever have the same problem
[20:32] <gustav_> jrib: Taskset can't set all processes so it's kind of useless.
[20:34] <HateYoFace> howdy ya'll
[20:34] <Luy1n> emjay25: I've already asked. As I said, one other Ubuntu with the same installation as mine encounters the same problems frequently, the windows users didn't have the problem ever before. I've got a Xubuntu lying around somewhere, which I'm going to try on this. Problem is, it's hard to repeat the issue since it comes as it likes ;)
[20:34] <HateYoFace> does anyone have any trouble dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu on a ssd?
[20:34] <Luy1n> HateYoFace have you seen the information on ubuntu.com?
[20:35] <HateYoFace> no sir i have not does it have a topic on the issue?
[20:35] <emjay25> Luy1n, try running the live cd from a USB flash drive or something see if your wireless works on the live cd ... if it does then find out what driver it's using
[20:35] <twist3d> gustav_, Taskset will force a specific service/proces to use a certain specified core
[20:35] <gustav_> twist3d: I want all processes to move from one core.
[20:35] <Luy1n> emjay25: which command should I use for that?
[20:36] <twist3d> gustav_, what it will not do is prevent other tasks from using that core
[20:36] <twist3d> you can taskset all your running processes
[20:36] <gustav_> twist3d: Where's the 'umask' of taskset?
[20:36] <emjay25> Luy1n, paste the output of lspci -n to here ... http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[20:37] <civilianirc1> ..
[20:37] <twist3d> no idea
[20:37] <twist3d> I dont lord over my task scheduler.. never used it
[20:38] <Luy1n> thank you very much, emjay25!
[20:39] <gustav_> How do I check for a virus? For example, if something is running in a hidden process.
[20:39] <emjay25> Luy1n, you're welcome.. hope it helps you figure it out
[20:39] <Luy1n> hope so too ;)
[20:39] <emjay25> gustav_, you mean like root kits on linux?
[20:39] <hidnshadows> Anyone know how to reset your keyring password/get a new keyring? I had to "hack" my password, and now I can't add anything to my keyring :P
[20:39] <tgm4883> !rkhunter | gustav_
[20:39] <gustav_> emjay25: Probably. I don't know how those work.
[20:40] <twist3d> gustav_, try rkhunter and run clamav from ~
[20:40] <emjay25> gustav_, install rkhunter
[20:40] <tgm4883> although running rkhunter requires a bit of knowledge about how it works and false positives
[20:40] <gustav_> Problem is. I don't want a software to solve it. Because software can always be compromised.
[20:41]  * twist3d blinks
[20:41] <gustav_> Has happened to McAffee a couple of times.
[20:41] <tgm4883> gustav_, source?
[20:41] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: the idea there is to have a set of tools that don't rely on shared libraries like on a usb
[20:41] <gustav_> And/or Norton AV.
[20:41] <tgm4883> gustav_, source please
[20:41] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: that set of tools you should trust - so you have to use software somewhere anyway.
[20:41] <gustav_> tgm4883: I have to do some googling. It was a while back.
[20:42] <pittore68> ciao
[20:42] <pittore68> !list
[20:42] <tgm4883> gustav_, and please no sources of instances where the software ate itself. As that isn't compromised software, it's bad definition testing
[20:43] <SolarisBoy> thats not going to be hard to find if you talking about norton/mcaffee
[20:43] <gustav_> tgm4883: The thing it happened on my computer. IDK where the source is. I know it has happened more publicly. Google yourself.
[20:43] <twist3d> gustav_, it is possible for rootkits to hide bad stuff from your anti-virus... but I have never heard of any of the companies you listed releasing compromised software from the official source
[20:43] <twist3d> gustav_, now if you torrent your anti-virus....
[20:43] <tgm4883> gustav_, no. You said it happened, so source it
[20:43] <gustav_> twist3d: That's not what I mean. I mean viruses disable the AV software.
[20:43] <gustav_> Or disable rkhunter.
[20:44] <twist3d> gustav_, hence the rkhunter recommendation
[20:44] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: gustav_: the idea there is to have a set of tools that don't rely on shared libraries like on a usb
[20:44] <gustav_> Like I said, I need a non-tool solution. rkhunter can be subverted in a similar fashion.
[20:44] <selena2013> upgraded ram is faster now
[20:44] <tgm4883> gustav_, that isn't what I'd call compromised AV. But yea, I've seen a virus disable the software before (usually it just wrecks the stack so the AV can't start)
[20:44] <gustav_> I bet a lot of trojan or rootkit installing people know about rkhunter.
[20:45] <tgm4883> gustav_, you don't know how rkhunter works though
[20:45] <Symyon> hi guys
[20:45] <gustav_> tgm4883: What do you mean?
[20:45] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: no - if your tools dont rely on shared libs are statically compiled (im sure rkhunter is one that you can compile and drop on a usb) then they can't be affected by some system issues
[20:45] <gustav_> tgm4883: I'm reading the list of what it does right now.
[20:45] <Symyon> I'm new to Linux, how can I install mono on Ubuntu 10.04?
[20:45] <gustav_> SolarisBoy: Shared libs is the least problem.
[20:45] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: so usually people who have your fear - do just that - create a usb with their tools
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: no it's the most of it...
[20:46] <coops> quick question: best channel for ubuntnu on macbooks?
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: and and dependancies to an installed system -
[20:46] <gustav_> If the kernel is compromised shared libs don't matter.
[20:46] <Jordan_U> Symyon: I'm pretty sure it's installed by default.
[20:46] <tgm4883> gustav_, I mean, I can write a program that checks a list of files against a known good MD5SUM list and doesn't touch the system at all. You can know how it works and not be able to compromise it
[20:46] <Symyon> 10.04?
[20:46] <Jordan_U> coops: This one.
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: if your running a trusted binary of rkhunter from your usb which is statically compiled how will it be affected ?
[20:46] <Symyon> ok, thank you
[20:46] <coops> Jordan_U: sweet
[20:46] <civilianirc1> hi, may i ask: if i do not get any answer in this chatroom. How/where can i attempt to get solve my problem?
[20:47] <jrib> !support | civilianirc1
[20:47] <Symyon> I'm trying to install Repetier-host, but I guess that's for another chanel I think
[20:47] <tgm4883> civilianirc1, what is the issue?
[20:48] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: then wouldn't you rather run your kernel debugging utilities from a usb stick than the compromised system?
[20:48] <gustav_> SolarisBoy: Not USB. Maybe CD.
[20:48] <civilianirc1> ubottu > thank you.
[20:48] <civilianirc1> tgm4883 > im on Ubuntu 10.04. Any of .png and .jpeg images appear with serration around it in my web browser (Firefox and Google Chrome)? How to remove the serration and make the images looks good?
[20:49] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: thats a facial difference the ultimate goal is to execute away from the compromised system - and now your swaying your ultimate goal is (was) to have a way to ensure your tools can be trusted
[20:49] <tgm4883> civilianirc1, ah, yea I don't know abou that :/
[20:49] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: CD/USB you apparently know the answer.
[20:49] <twist3d> civilianirc1, how about .jpeg images not opened in a browser
[20:49] <tgm4883> gustav_, put rkhunter on a bootable USB drive then
[20:49] <gustav_> SolarisBoy: USB is read/write. So it's very dangerous.
[20:49] <SolarisBoy> doesn't even need to be bootable
[20:49] <Guest72145> ciao
[20:49] <tgm4883> gustav_, then bammo, non-comprimised environment
[20:49] <twist3d> i can't wait till the day they make a command to make a usb device read only
[20:49] <SolarisBoy> gustav_: dude - you dont need to write anything to the USB when it's connected to the system
[20:50] <civilianirc1> twist3d > it can. but show badly.
[20:50] <tgm4883> SolarisBoy, that isn't his point
[20:50] <SolarisBoy> what is his point then?
[20:50] <gustav_> SolarisBoy: The virus or trojan might.
[20:50] <twist3d> civilianirc1, try downloading and updating your graphics card drivers
[20:50] <tgm4883> SolarisBoy, he's talking about the threat writing something to the USB
[20:50] <SolarisBoy> so my point was mount it ro
[20:50] <SolarisBoy> ?
[20:50] <tgm4883> SolarisBoy, you can't trust the system not to mount it rw
[20:51] <tgm4883> gustav_, boot to a live usb
[20:51] <gustav_> CD is physically ro.
[20:51] <gustav_> tgm4883: Virus or trojan may be in BIOS.
[20:51] <tgm4883> gustav_, ffs, really
[20:51] <SolarisBoy> then at that point it should be disconnected fromt he network
[20:51] <SolarisBoy> throw it away
[20:51] <twist3d> and thrown down the stairs
[20:52] <gustav_> SolarisBoy: That's #1 I guess. :)
[20:52] <civilianirc1> twist3d > how to get the updated drivers?
[20:52] <hetal> Is PAE enabled in the live CD, or is it only available upon compilation of the kernel?
[20:52] <jrib> I think we've moved away from ubuntu support at this point...
[20:52] <aphid> now in hour 6 of UEFI hell… working as intended!
[20:52] <twist3d> civilianirc1, do you know what type of graphics card you have?
[20:52] <Xiudo> hello
[20:52] <elena-IK> is there any reason to choose ext2 over ext3 or ext4 for /boot?
[20:52] <tgm4883> gustav_, out of curiosity, what is the point of all this
[20:52] <gustav_> tgm4883: Feeling of safety.
[20:53] <Xiudo> I got a question for the GNU people out there.  When using screen to connect to a Serial port.  I am using the command "screen /dev/cu.serial 115200" what is the rest of the command to get 8,1,n
[20:53] <civilianirc1> twist3d > i don't. Could you help me, how can I get the information about it?
[20:53] <Jordan_U> elena-IK: None worth mentioning.
[20:53] <twist3d> civilianirc1, lspci -v
[20:54] <civilianirc1> twist3d > okay. wait a minute...
[20:55] <twist3d> civilianirc1, looking for vga compatable controller stuff
[20:55] <chaox> can someone explain me the difference between multilib and multiarch?
[20:56] <civilianirc1> twist3d > okay. I got this : Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[20:56] <g105b> Is it possible to allow http://anything.local to resolve to localhost? This would greatly improve my web dev setup routine.
[20:56] <twist3d> chaox, wiki.debian.org/Multiarch
[20:58] <Jordan_U> g105b: Yes it's possible, but I don't know how to do it offhand. I'm not sure it's a good idea though as it's common to call any domain on a given network "foo.local", so using "local" to mean "localhost" is at best confusing.
[20:59] <Arandir>  /part
[21:00] <hetal> My live session says that it supports PAE, but I still only see 3.2 gigs of RAM. Does the kernel need to be installed for me to have access to all my RAM, or is there a chance that I might not see it all when I install?
[21:00] <g105b> Jordan_U, The reason I'm asking is so I can get my webserver serve many virtual hosts depending on what the requested hostname is, without having to add lines to /etc/hosts and the webserver cofig

[21:26] <r00t> ChrisWere: what OS do you have?
[21:26] <r00t> I have to ask
[21:26] <ChrisWere> 12.04 LTS
[21:27] <ChrisWere> I need adobe Flash for work and the IT guys are constantly telling me I need to update it but Adobe had dropped support. What can I do?
[21:28] <r00t> ChrisWere: Do you have video capabilities on the computer you have now?
[21:28] <ChrisWere> r00t: Yes, if by that you mean Youtube atc...
[21:28] <ChrisWere> etc...
[21:28] <OerHeks> ChrisWere, today we had an update to adobe 11.2 r202
[21:29] <r00t> ChrisWere: Then check out this Youtube video. It might help: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LTfPwRcbkA

[21:36] <ChrisWere> 11.2.202.270
[21:36] <OerHeks> ChrisWere, then run update, it should be available.
[21:36] <OerHeks> ( or in the next few hours, depending on the mirror )
[21:36] <ChrisWere> But I'm really looking to update to something like 11.6.602.180

[22:03] <ronillon> hi, is there a music player for linux, that can automaticaly start playing last played playlist on program startup?
[22:03] <mojtaba> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612043/
[22:03] <fightback> flan_suse: Oh great! Funnily enough, the glxinfo says that these components are available
[22:05] <flan_suse> fightback: Someone told me this...
[22:05] <usr13> mojtaba: Doesn't look good.
[22:05] <flan_suse> fightback: It's looking for 32bit mesa-dri (on my 64bit machine) since it's a 32bit binary.
[22:05] <mojtaba> usr13: Do you know what should I do? :(
[22:06] <fightback> flan_suse: Mmh, that would make sense. Can you launch the binary of the game with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose?
[22:06] <usr13> mojtaba: smartct -a /dev/sdb  |less  and/or hdparm -i /dev/sdb  (See: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php )
[22:07] <Tex_Nick> ronillon:  VLC has a recent media list ... won't work automatically though
[22:07] <flan_suse> fightback: apt is busy at the moment
[22:07] <compnerd_> Im trying to setup an Ubuntu VM and install libGLES, but doing so seems to hang the VM on reboot (plymouth never exits to X) ... is this channel the right place to ask for help or is there a more appropriate channel?
[22:07] <flan_suse> fightback: I ran "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386"
[22:08] <fightback> flan_suse: I see. weird, but not on Ubuntu at the moment.
[22:08] <flan_suse> Going to try running the same now.
[22:08] <usr13> mojtaba: ... but it may just be troubles with the security mechanism, I don't know ...
[22:08] <ronillon> Tex_Nick: thx for the info. that really sucks i have to say. such a basic functionality
[22:10] <gordonjcp> twist3d: yeah, I know that
[22:10] <mojtaba> usr13: Sorry, I disconnected. Do you know what should I do?
[22:10] <Tex_Nick> ronillon:  i understand man ... wish i had the magic answer ;-)
[22:10] <mojtaba> usr13: Sorry, I disconnected. Do you know what should I do?
[22:10] <twist3d> ?
[22:10] <usr13> mojtaba: smartct -a /dev/sdb  |less  and/or hdparm -i /dev/sdb  (See: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php )
[22:10] <fightback> flan_suse: apt works fine here from Switzerland
[22:10] <gordonjcp> twist3d: what I wanted to know is if there's some reason why this happened, and how to stop it happening in future
[22:10] <usr13> mojtaba: ... but it may just be troubles with the security mechanism, I don't know ...
[22:10] <marinus> if i install a kernel manually, how can i revert back to automatic kernel updates after i upgrade to ubuntu 13.04 when it comes out?
[22:11] <usr13> marinus: you revert back to the stock kernel.
[22:11] <ronillon> Tex_Nick: yeah, would be nice to have magic at disposal. for now i will just have to stick with winamp thru wine
[22:11] <flan_suse> fightback: It works!
[22:11] <flan_suse> fightback: I had to install that package...
[22:11] <fightback> flan_suse: great!
[22:11] <flan_suse> fightback: It was a 32bit/64bit issue the whole time.
[22:12] <flan_suse> fightback: It was someone from ubuntu-steam who figured it out after all, haha.
[22:12] <fightback> flan_suse: well, I guess they get confronted with graphics issues all the time
[22:12] <flan_suse> I've been at this for over a week, and couldn't find anything that worked. Forums, bug reports, mailing lists, nothing.
[22:12] <twist3d> gordonjcp, I would review your syslogs and find out why it happened
[22:13] <mojtaba> usr13: The security mechanism does work.
[22:13] <usr13> mojtaba: Well, that's the part that I know nothing about.
[22:13] <mojtaba> usr13: When I put the card near the hard drive it just mounts the drive
[22:13] <mojtaba> usr13: except that, do you know what should I do to fix the problem?
[22:14] <mojtaba> usr13: I have used fsck before, but it took long time and it failed to finish correctly.
[22:14] <usr13> mojtaba: I've told you all I know.  Maybe someone else here can give you some advise.
[22:14] <marinus> usr13, thanks for telling me, how do i revert back to the stock kernel?
[22:14] <Tex_Nick> ronillon : as an afterthought ... VLC supports a lot of scripting features ... not sure if you could script what you want ... you might ask in #VLC ... that isn't real active, but there are smart people there from time to time
[22:14] <marinus> install the generic one again using apt-get?
[22:14] <usr13> marinus: Just re-install it.
[22:15] <mojtaba> Is there anybody who can HELP me?
[22:15] <marinus> i see :)
[22:15] <xananax> Hello; I am trying to install ubuntu on a lenovo y500. I don' t care about dual boot or keeping win8, or uefi. I am installing ubuntu 12.10 from liveUSB. The install works and everything seems to be working (sound, network,...), but after install, I only get black screen.
[22:15] <fdjkf> is there a guide on how to setup qmail in ubuntu?
[22:15] <usr13> marinus: apt-get is your friend  :)
[22:15] <ronillon> Tex_Nick: hehe, i was just thinking about the scripting in vlc, thx for the tip for irc room
[22:16] <xananax> I tried pressing shift while loading, I get only "grub loading."
[22:16] <xananax> Anyone has pointers?
[22:16] <usr13> !qmail | fdjkf
[22:17] <SonikkuAmerica> usr13: What's qmail?
[22:17] <usr13> !nomodeset | xananax
[22:17] <usr13> !uefi | xananax
[22:17] <mojtaba> PLEASE HLEP
[22:17] <SonikkuAmerica> usr13: Wow, I derped out there
[22:17] <marinus> thanks usr13 :)
[22:17] <fdjkf> usr13: I noticed the packages in apt but nothing on configuring it
[22:17] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: With that?
[22:17] <SonikkuAmerica> *what?
[22:17] <celso> someone know why i cant see the hidden itens on ubuntu software center?
[22:18] <xananax> usr13, but I can't get to nomodeset, because I only get "grub loading." (and it never loads). I disabled uefi, and set my bios into legacy mode
[22:18] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: I have got a freecom external hard drive and have some problem with that
[22:18] <xananax> Is it possible that I can't install grub on an ssd drive?
[22:18] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Can a guy get some !details?
[22:18] <celso> i try to install preload but its curently hidden. is it some bug?
[22:18] <usr13> fdjkf: http://qmail-support.blogspot.com/
[22:19] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: I can pastebinit the result of the command you want to have its result
[22:19] <usr13> xananax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[22:19] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Go ahead
[22:19] <ronillon> xananax: try downloadinga supergrub utility,
[22:19] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: The hard drive just get unmounted and I can not use it.
[22:19] <fdjkf> usr13: thx
[22:19] <xananax> usr12, ronillon: thanks
[22:20] <xangua> celso: sudo apt-get install preload
[22:20] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: It's plugged in...? and recognized by Nautilus...?
[22:20] <celso> xangua: i know i can install using apt-get but i am figuring out if is a bug.
[22:20] <mojtaba> It has a security card with it and after using it the system just auto mount it
[22:21] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: As...?
[22:21] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: after being mounted, just suddenly it get unmounted
[22:21] <celso> xangua: sometimes, after a clean installation, this happens
[22:21] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica:  /dev/sdb1
[22:21] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: I can't say I've ever worked with HDDs with security cards before...
[22:22] <celso> xangua: and it happens with the other hidden packages of ubuntu. it simply dont show the option to reveal them
[22:22] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: do you know how can I fix my external hard drive? I have used fsck before, but it is very time taking and I could not finish it correctly.
[22:23] <apb1963> I'm getting some warnings from update-rc.d and I don't know if I should be concerned or not.  The warnings are posted here:   http://ix.io/4IO  Can anyone knowledegable advise please?
[22:23] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: you could use the touch command to have it check the FS @ startup
[22:24] <mojzesz> witam
[22:24] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: could you please explain how should I do that? as I am new to linux era.
[22:25] <genii-around> apb1963: *buntu treats runlevels 2 through 5 identically, it looks like your startup script expects the traditional ones
[22:26] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Connect your HDD and run  sudo fdisk -l  in terminal to make sure it's recognized
[22:26] <fisch246> hey so in the past i used Jack in order to setup a virtual soundcard, only to find out, it doesn't work with my system. So I removed Jack, and found out it took all my audio stuff with it. Now I'm trying to record a podcast, and I think I don't have the alsa plugins for pulseaudio. Can someone tell me what they are called on Ubuntu?
[22:27] <glennpratt> Trying to use dpkg-buildpackage to update a package, works fine, but if I bump the version in changelog, I get dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libapache2-mod-xsendfile_0.12-2.dsc: No such file or directory
[22:27] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612107/
[22:28] <apb1963> genii-around: OK... so... do I need to change something or is it happy the way it is?
[22:28] <ZombieMaster> Hi
[22:28] <genii-around> apb1963: Do you see an entry for it in /etc/rc2.d/   ?
[22:29] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: I assume it's /dev/mmcblk0p1
[22:29] <apb1963> there's a symlink yes
[22:29] <Kion> can someone tell me how to record my screen using avconv?
[22:29] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: no it is not. It is 1TB hard drive. I think it did not appear there!
[22:29] <genii-around> apb1963: Then you're fine
[22:30] <apb1963> Just a startup though right?
[22:30] <Bray90820> so i am adding "setkeycodes e073 148 & setkeycodes e074 149" onto the end of /etc/rc.local would i just add 1 terminal command after the first setkeycode and then the other one after the second setkeycode
[22:30] <fisch246> does no-one know anything about audio stuff on Ubuntu?
[22:30] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: OK, it didn't see it. Plug it into another USB port and run  sudo fdisk -l  again.
[22:30] <SonikkuAmerica> fisch246: Try #ubuntustudio (even if you don't have Ubuntu Studio they might be able to help with it, because it involves audio stuff and JACK)
[22:31] <apb1963> and rc6 has the kill
[22:31] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: should I mount it before running that command?
[22:31] <apb1963> ok, thank you much a million :)
[22:31] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Yes (or try to)
[22:31] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612121/
[22:31] <genii-around> apb1963: Ubuntu goes to runlevel 2 by default, in the old times runlevel 3 was the default for graphical, some old stuff might not start at 2 now. But since it's there in the rc2.d, should be fine
[22:32] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Now it's there.
[22:32] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Now run  fsck -V /dev/sdb1
[22:32] <SonikkuAmerica> (The -V switch enables verbose mode)
[22:32] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: should I umount it before running this command?
[22:32] <apb1963> Yeah I just didn't really understand what the warning was telling me... seemed to conflict with what the script was saying.
[22:33] <genii-around> apb1963: You just called update-rc.d with defaults?
[22:33] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: YES!
[22:33] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: YOU MUST!
[22:33] <apb1963> yes
[22:34] <genii-around> apb1963: Ok, should be good then.
[22:34] <apb1963> ok, thanks
[22:34] <Tex_Nick> Kion:  you might ask in #ffmpeg ... i know that's not avconv, but avconv is a fork of ffmpeg & a lot of the functionality is the same
[22:34] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: umount: /media/mojtaba/freedom: device is busy.
[22:34] <mojtaba>         (In some cases useful info about processes that use
[22:34] <mojtaba>          the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
[22:34] <Kion> Tex_Nick: Thanks I will try that!
[22:34] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: What does that mean?
[22:35] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: I can not umount it!
[22:35] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: I've never heard of that...
[22:35] <Tex_Nick> Kion:  np good luck man :-)
[22:35] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: (I meant the part about using lsof and fuser)
[22:35] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: how can I ensure about the status of the hard drive?
[22:36] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Then run  ps ax | grep /media/mojtaba/*  to see if there are any processes running from it
[22:36] <apb1963> one more puzzler...  I have instructions to add " tmpfs /var/spool/asterisk/monitor tmpfs rw 0 0" to the /etc/fstab file.  Isn't tmpfs supposed to be a device?  Isn't this going to barf when it doesn't find that device?  Is that perhaps maybe some kind of virtual disk that something somewhere might be creating?
[22:38] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612136/
[22:38] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: That's just the  ps ax  command then.
[22:39] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Try  fuser /media/mojtaba/freedom/
[22:39] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: * fuser /media/mojtaba/freedom/
[22:39] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: which one?
[22:40] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: They both say the same thing, except one is outlined in gray.
[22:40] <SonikkuAmerica> (I just forgot to attach a mIRC color to it)
[22:40] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: /media/mojtaba/freedom: 23865
[22:41] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: We've wasted a few seconds... try  umount  again.

[22:42] <xananax> usr12, ronillon: thanks
[22:43] <MoPac> So I installed an old version of a package from a .deb file, and I'm trying to keep the automatic updater from constantly telling me to update it.  I don't think there's a specific .deb line for it in sources.list or sources.d (it's python-related, normally from universe).  What do?
[22:43] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Seems I didn't give enough switches for  fuser . The correct switches are  fuser -vm /media/mojtaba/freedom .
[22:44] <Bray90820> anyone wanna help me figure out what exactly setkeycodes e073 148 & setkeycodes e074 149 do when i add them to /etc/rc.local
[22:45] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612150/
[22:45] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba:  kill 23865
[22:46] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: killed
[22:47] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: NOW try umounting.
[22:47] <MoPac> nevermind my above: got it via apt-mark hold package-name
[22:48] <mojtaba1> SonikkuAmerica: I guess I disconnected.
[22:48] <mojtaba1> SonikkuAmerica: what should I do for the next step after killing that process?
[22:49] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba1: umount
[22:49] <mojtaba1> SonikkuAmerica: umount: /media/mojtaba/freedom: device is busy.

[22:51] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba1: Never mind.
[22:51] <Bray90820> nDuff lets say i just wanted "setkeycodes e073 148" to run at startup could i put a terminal command under it to run simultaneously

[22:52] <mojtaba> reboot the computer?

[22:54] <SonikkuAmerica> Ya
[22:54] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: I will come back soon.
[22:56] <userUbu0804> Hi, my pc is 6 to 7 years old (laptop). I looove ubuntu and I want to use ubuntu as dual boot on my laptop but the latest version doesn't perform good at all. Last ubuntu which worked pretty well was 08.04.
[22:56] <userUbu0804> If I install that just to use ubuntu, will it be ok now in 2013 ?
[22:57] <Kion> userUbu0804: you could try xubuntu for older hardware
[22:57] <userUbu0804> Kion, yes they told me again about xubuntu. but whats the difference in xubuntu?
[22:58] <Kion> userUbu0804: it has a different desktop that makes it lighter.
[22:58] <userUbu0804> hmm and it's up to date since today ?
[22:59] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: Hi there
[23:01] <electronplusplus> Hi. I'm learning unix and kernel programming. One thing the I want to do is to code a complete unix command. my question is: What kind of command, that are useful, are missing in linux?
[23:01] <electronplusplus> Hi. I'm learning unix and kernel programming. One thing the I want to do is to code a complete unix command. my question is: What kind of command, that are useful, are missing in linux?
[23:01] <electronplusplus> ops
[23:01] <SonikkuAmerica> Hello again mojtaba
[23:01] <kalenjohnson> electronplusplus, you might want to start with something smaller than filling a hole that the experienced programmers haven't filled yet
[23:02] <kalenjohnson> electronplusplus, not to discourage you, but if you're just starting, you'll want to find some tutorials or some help and guidance to get started
[23:02] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: I have mounted my hard drive and now copying some files from it. I have access to my data but in the middle of copying files the drive just become unavailable.
[23:02] <electronplusplus> kalenjohnson: I would appreciate it.
[23:03] <electronplusplus> I write a lot of code but It would be nice to code something that coders need.
[23:03] <userUbu0804> Kion, thanks!!!
[23:04] <OerHeks> electronplusplus, take a look @ brainstorm, maybe you find a wanted idea
[23:04] <OerHeks> !brainstorm
[23:04] <kalenjohnson> electronplusplus, then you might want to ask again in a more specific room, like #ubuntu-kernel, as this one is rather general
[23:05] <apb1963> electronplusplus: I need a command that does my laundry :)
[23:06] <electronplusplus> apb1963: easy. sms to a laundry company.
[23:07] <apb1963> it needs to be freeware
[23:09] <apb1963> besides... that's just shelling out to a third party app... it needs to actually DO the processing of the laundry.
[23:09] <userUbu0804> Kion, I didn't know Xubuntu is officially supported and recognized by Canonical. :-) Installing in a bit. Thank you.
[23:10] <SonikkuAmerica> !flavors
[23:10] <SonikkuAmerica> instead of GNOME... uh... instead of Unity, you mean.
[23:10] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: Error splicing file: Input/output error
[23:11] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: it just stopped copying files
[23:11] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: Hmm... It just dies on you?
[23:11] <Kion> I personally like xubuntu a lot, although I use Ubuntu every day for work
[23:11] <mojtaba> SonikkuAmerica: :(
[23:12] <SonikkuAmerica> mojtaba: It sounds like a defective HDD issue.
[23:15] <raj> does gedit-plugins package work for gedit3 as well?
[23:21] <elena-IK> is there a lightweight mac style dock? (suitable for a netbook)
[23:21] <dr_willis> !dock
[23:21] <dr_willis> most can lo
[23:21] <elena-IK> thanks
[23:22] <Rokkross> elena-IK: Also most panels in DEs allow you to make more panels. For example, XFCE lets you make one easily.
[23:22] <Jordan_U> elena-IK: Have you tried simply Unity? (I won't make judgements about "macness" of it).
[23:22] <bull3trulz> i have a problem i am trying to install  dockbarx xfce-panel but i cannot get to compile it for some reason it says this Checking for 'libxfce4panel-1.0' >= 4.8  : not found

[23:29] <MarkShuttleworth> also amazon ads <3
[23:29] <Oris> dr_willis: however, it still suggests autoremoving packages that are no longer required...
[23:30] <marcusw> oh shit, he mentioned amazon ads, it's about to get real
[23:30] <dr_willis> Oris:   i imagine 'sudo apt-get autoremove' would also  remove them
[23:30] <MarkShuttleworth> AMAZON ADS
[23:30] <MarkShuttleworth> AMAZON ADS

[23:31] <Oris> dr_willis: right, i guess i just wasn't sure if the 50 or so packages really were no longer required

[23:33] <Oris> dr_willis: thanks, i think i'm good now
[23:35] <Camouflages> is there a command line program that can burn an iso image to cd
[23:35] <marcusw> cdrecord
[23:35] <Camouflages> can I get full syntax pla
[23:37] <Camouflages> im having difficulty mount the cdrom and not sure of syntax for the 'fstab' if required??
[23:39] <marcusw> >mfw troll from earlier just go klined for chan drama
[23:40] <marcusw> so apparently #ubuntu = freenode
[23:41] <Pici> marcusw: We don't need the updates here.
[23:41] <viod> hello!
[23:41] <marcusw> IDGAF, klines for trolls that have already been banned is fucking dalnet shit
[23:42] <viod> could someone help me with sed please?
[23:42] <k1l> marcusw: please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support. thank you
[23:42] <marcusw> viod: don't ask to ask
[23:42] <viod> i'm trying to remove a line containing a pattern, and the following line
[23:42] <marcusw> use grep -v instead
[23:43] <viod> hmmm, I don't see how?
[23:43] <marcusw> k1l: I'm looking for an explanation of why this was necessary
[23:43] <marcusw> (protip: it wasn't and there is none)
[23:44] <marcusw> viod: instead of piping through sed, pipe to grep -v <pattern>
[23:44] <Pici> marcusw: ask freenode, Ubuntu ops can't kline people.
[23:45] <OerHeks> void, see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56123/remove-line-containing-certain-string-and-the-following-line
[23:45] <WetBread> wat
[23:45] <Pici> !guidelines > WetBread
[23:46] <marcusw> Pici: some op from here went and got freenode to kline someone
[23:46] <viod> marcusw: the second line is actually a blank line, and not the only one in the file!
[23:46] <comradevdka> Hello I am having a issue seeing my Windows 7 partition on a clean duel boot installation of Xubuntu. I have tried updating GRUB thinking that may fix it and still nothing any ideas?
[23:46] <viod> OerHeks: thanks, gonna try!
[23:46] <marcusw> and since all the ops are here and there are probably none of them on #freenode, I think this is a very appropriate place to ask
[23:46] <Pici> marcusw: This isn't the place to discuss it, and no we didn't.
[23:46] <OerHeks> void, in that url are examples that don't look at the content of the following line
[23:47] <OerHeks> that could be an issue, when that following line contains the same search pattern
[23:47] <marcusw> Pici: so you're confirming that #ubuntu chanops had nothing to do with klining of #ubuntu troll?
[23:47] <Pici> marcusw: correct.
[23:48] <viod> OerHeks: it's exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot :D
[23:50] <sonOfRa> can I force a window to always be open on any desktop? I'm using 2 screens, and I'd like to switch around desktops on the first one
[23:50] <sonOfRa> but I would like my email staying open on the second one, no matter what desktop i switch to
[23:51] <kalenjohnson> sonOfRa, right click on the top bar, select "always on visible workspace"
[23:53] <sonOfRa> can I also toggle that while the windows is maximized? the dialog only shows up if a window is not maximized
[23:55] <kalenjohnson> not sure
