[00:00] khildin: just keep asking around here, someone will know [00:00] Ben64: thnx for the effort anyway [00:00] just getting a partial desktop us a way way too common problem lately [00:00] 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] holstein: is synpatic package manager is doing the job ? [00:01] dr_willis: got any ideas for khildin? intel driver is loaded and in use, yet no 3d === cronus__ is now known as cronus [00:02] Ben64: see if a newly made user works. perhaps may give a clue [00:03] knob, http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/08/08/ubuntu-12-04-on-odroid-x-development-board/ [00:03] KI4RO, on my way! Thanks! [00:03] All I did was google it...ARGH! [00:04] YEs.. I did that [00:04] Yet I'm a n00b at this, and I just don't understand [00:04] Some people are running Android on the Odroid-X2, and other are running Ubuntu [00:04] And I'm just... have no idea [00:06] dr_willis: I already tried that... new user has same issues with unity === tensorpuddin is now known as tensorpudding [00:08] brb reboot time [00:09] ive seen this partial-unity-desktop issue on way to many differnt systems/chipsets/drivers these last 2 months... [00:10] with .Xauthority, dr_willis? [00:11] 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] .Xauthorigy normaly causes one to get bounced back to the login screen. [00:11] I edited resolv.conf and after rebooting there is no internet... [00:11] What can I do to fix this problem? [00:12] limac: start with basic tests.. can you ping the dns servers? can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [00:12] And also resolv.conf is empty... [00:12] 'there is no internet' is a bit broad... [00:12] resolv.conf is handled by some service now.. you really shouldent be editing it by hand these days. [00:12] I have a weird connection... and it is no longer getting detevted [00:13] weird or wired? [00:13] Oops wired [00:13] ;P [00:13] Lol [00:13] I didn't know not to edit resolve.conf before [00:13] perhaps someone can pastebin their default resolv.conf for you to see.. [00:13] Any fixes? [00:13] 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] I thought the first line of resolv.conf mention to not edit it. ;) === LaserShark is now known as ZombieShark [00:14] I absolutely have no clue how those came on the laptop [00:14] I remember what it was... But after rebooting it goes back to being empty [00:14] I did not read it very carefully [00:14] How do I get GRUB to see an OS on a different hard drive? === SJrX is now known as SJr [00:14] bbl [00:15] OK bye [00:15] Is there anything I have to do after editing the resolve.conf to save the changes permanently? [00:17] I have windows on sda and Ubuntu on sdb, but I can't get GRUB to see the OS on sda [00:17] !resolv.conf | limac [00:17] limac: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution === Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak [00:32] I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop that currently has a dual boot (2x Win7) [00:33] installing off USB, but only get a blinking cursor [00:33] 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] I have two shares with the exact same config... === spicyWith_ is now known as spicyWith [00:34] !nomodeset | kevinkace [00:34] kevinkace: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:36] How the heck do I use pXpX like /dev/eth0? I can't find a device for my ethernet :\ [00:36] meLon: give us some details on what you are doing exactly [00:37] Just trying to access it as a file. There is no /dev/p5p1 as there there is /dev/eth0 [00:37] iptraf, slurm, etc [00:38] I don't know what this name change is called, so Google is really smacking me in the face atm [00:38] ive never seen use of /dev/p5p1 befor. [00:39] Hello, I'm struggling with installing Ubuntu on a new machine, is this where I should be looking for help? [00:39] what are you trying to do to your network device. [00:39] DoktorV: yes [00:39] Just trying to access it as a file. [00:39] 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] program -interface /dev/eth0 < Where is /dev/p5p1... it doesn't exist. Where is this file/device? [00:40] All right, thank you. I'm afraid I'm not good with IRC so please bear with me. [00:40] 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] Yeah, sorry. They started labeling by where it is on your bus, dr_willis [00:40] meLon: cant say ive noticed that.. then again - i dont code much these days. [00:40] Your next install will have it [00:41] tried with gftp, filezilla, ssh. no dice. [00:41] got 13.04 on my machine at home. but im not at home to look. ;) [00:41] 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] oldpilsbury: tried what? just use ping.. see if you can ping the gateway from the machine [00:42] meLon: network devices aren't presented as files. [00:42] lol dr_willis p5p2 vs /dev/p5p2 :P [00:43] Atlantic777: I meant as a file on the OS [00:43] meLon: network devices are far more complex than char device, block device or ioctl [00:43] as in /dev/eth0 [00:43] success [00:43] meLon: i understand, but there's no such thing. [00:43] i can also go to the router setup in web browser [00:44] 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] meLon: my I ask you again what are you trying to do with accessing netowrk iface as file? [00:44] may* [00:44] Like I said... iptraf [00:44] any idea why the server is refusing connection? [00:45] Am I like... Are you trying to tell me that there's never been /dev/eth0 ? [00:45] meLon: oh, sorry, I must have missed that [00:45] oldpilsbury: not yet.. can you ping the gateway? [00:45] yes [00:45] meLon: yep, not on Linux, as far as i know. [00:45] oldpilsbury: can you ping the machines from each other? [00:46] what is the switch that i use with mv to see the progress.... --progress or -v [00:47] holstein: inet ping failed from my laptop to the server and back. i do want the inet addr, correct? [00:47] Cooper: -v shows which file is currently being transfered. [00:47] Cooper: see "man mv" for more info about mv options. [00:48] asked and then read the man files [00:48] oldpilsbury: what are you trying to do? [00:49] holstein: file transfers. you told me to ping the machine. you meant the server's inet address, right? [00:49] oldpilsbury: if you cant ping the machine, you wont be able to ssh or file share... you can look at firewalls [00:49] oldpilsbury: i mean, the ip address... [00:50] oldpilsbury: a stupid question, is the server out of your local area network? [00:50] 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] no, just my old desktop with a router attached. :) [00:50] 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] oldpilsbury: is your 'client' computer attached to the same router? [00:51] 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] 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] Rust: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..but what are the packages? [00:52] client computer is wirelessly connected to the network [00:53] oldpilsbury: the same network? [00:53] holstein: not sure what they are, just security updates...i though the dist-upgrade was to update the release? [00:53] !dist-upgrade [00:53] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [00:53] thx! [00:54] i pinged 192.168.1.1 from server and laptop, success [00:54] q [00:54] k [00:54] oldpilsbury: try pinging the machines from each other.. look at the firewall settings [00:54] it's server - eth0 - router - wlan0 - laptop, got it? [00:55] but they are in the same subnet, just two separated interfaces on the router [00:55] thanks holstein [00:55] so you need local ip address of the router === jeff_ is now known as Guest15678 [00:56] 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] router local ip is 192.168.1.1 [00:57] ok, what's 192.168.x.x ip of the server? [00:57] see it with ifconfig [00:58] well, can you post ifconfig and route -n from your server and client machine? [00:58] herm [00:58] post it to paste.ubuntu.com [00:58] and you'll probably get simple answer [00:59] laptop [00:59] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:03:9a:9b:31:7a inet6 addr: fe80::ea03:9aff:fe9b:317a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:695 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:935 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:232740 (232.7 KB) TX bytes:172306 (172.3 KB) lo Link encap:Local [00:59] not here!

[01:10] lol [01:11] there are 1731 souls + bots listening just you, just say it :D [01:11] 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] i have no soul [01:11] but im installing from a USB stick [01:12] deadtrigger: so, hope you don't mind being classified as bot. === Adrien_ is now known as Guest40716 === Guest40716 is now known as Savish [01:12] oh, ubuntu can make a live usb for installation but it never works for me [01:12] calmNchill: how did you prepare your USB stick? unetbootin or something similar? [01:12] 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] this is normal [01:13] I suggest you to try making it with unetbootin. [01:13] !unetbootin [01:13] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:13] calmNchill: nah, just use unetbootin [01:14] can anyone tell me what the google chrome package is called? in the repo's i'm guessing === cortex__ is now known as asheron [01:14] thulsa_d00m: apt-cache search -n google chromium [01:14] ahhh, chromium, i was just using chrome. Thanks [01:15] thulsa_d00m: i am a liar. Try: chromium-browser [01:15] I will try this one [01:15] yep, it was chromium-browser, thanks again [01:15] why the HELL is it near impossible for 32libs to coexist in ubuntu 64 ? [01:16] ie - libXext [01:16] ac_slater: umm, multiarch works fine here. What are you doing? [01:16] +1 ^ [01:16] 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] ? [01:16] :) [01:16] ac_slater: what ubuntu version are you using? In later versions ia32-libs just uses multiarch [01:17] 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] any openstack lovers here [01:18] ac_slater: so what issue are you having? [01:18] @ 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] nevermind [01:18] 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] calmNchill: select option to use iso image and then just browse and choose iso you have. [01:19] ac_slater: can you give details? [01:20] 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] ac_slater: right, give these details. I don't have a 12.04 install [01:21] :-/ [01:21] I observed this with 12.10 also. [01:22] ac_slater: in 12.04 is ia32-libs not just a dependency on ia32-libs-multiarch by the way? [01:22] ac_slater: that's fine, so give these details you are observing === torpet is now known as torpet|away === torpet|away is now known as torpet [01:23] jrib: So you physically cannot install libXext-dev:i386 if you have libXext-dev installed [01:23] @ Atlantic777: Thanks [01:23] calmNchill: it worked? [01:24] any kvm/qemu experts here [01:24] @ Atlantic777: it is building the installer we'll see [01:24] ac_slater: I just installed libxext-dev and libxext-dev:i386 here on 12.10 [01:25] jrib: woah. Ok then I might be doing something wrong ... [01:25] thanks man [01:26] Good Evening All [01:26] Anyone in here running "Amahi"? [01:28] Looking to resize my XRDP remote desktop display.

Or/And anything else relevant? [01:38] 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] 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] right ok. Thats what I thought [01:39] antiroach: after exiting your shell? === dward is now known as beezy [01:40] is it possible to update an existing install from 32 to 64 [01:40] or am i better of reinstalling [01:40] beezy: no; reinstall [01:40] okay === beezy is now known as dward [01:42] is this the right place for asking for help with installing a icon pack? [01:42] 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] thulsa_d00m: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842927 [01:46] Snowie, thanks, i'll give those ideas a shot [01:47] jrib: yes, but actually i figured it out. .bash_history was somehow owned by root [01:48] all fixed now :) [01:48] probably bad "sudo bash" usage... [01:48] 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. === Kyngdom_ is now known as Kyngdom [01:50] 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] I have an overheating laptop - when psensor temp2 exceeds 100C the laptop shutdows.

[02:37] pair0doc: check how its paartitioned also.. seen some cases where odd partioning schemes confuse the installer [02:37] pair0doc: test it and make sure.. the part that the windows operating system is on could be not failing (yet) [02:39] 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.

[02:44] sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/quantal [02:44] holstein: If I remember correctly, when I started Ubuntu 12.04, I used the the "Additional Drivers" application to install the driver [02:44] coldpizza72i: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150693/solve-a-partition-misalignment [02:44] !broadcom | Tavor this is what i refer to for my cards [02:45] Tavor this is what i refer to for my cards: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:45] omenreal, I'm not sure then, sorry [02:45] holstein: parted or gparted?

[02:48] coldpizza72i: i use gparted [02:48] !format [02:48] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [02:48] holstein: format volume or drive?

[02:50] dr_willis, except for sda1 being a compaq diagnostic partition it seems like a normal partition scheme. [02:50] doesnt fix problem [02:50] coldpizza72i: what doesnt?.. reformatting?

[02:52] Okay, thanks then, I'll look into your link from earlier [02:53] Quick question, what would be 'normal' activity? [02:53] Assuming the driver wasn't having issues [02:53] 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] 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] it's worth a try [02:53] can't do any harm :D [02:54] other then making my screens go black again lol [02:54] heh [02:54] Tavor: you can turn off your wifi and wire up and see.. it'll be something like that i would imagine [02:54] then uninstall time and back to the old drivers i guess [02:54] yeah [02:54] Whelp here goes nothing~ [02:54] holstein: Oh, I see what you mean then, thanks!

[03:54] I didn't install anything [03:54] 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.

[03:57] nope [03:57] It is closed-sourced [03:57] 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] but free [03:57] Does anyone know how I can get a custom launcher from the desktop to the favorites bar? [03:57] how? [03:58] MDTech-us_MAN: how for which? [03:58] "i would consider making a custom xorg.conf" [03:58] fuhreal: in unity? you want a launcher with the favorites? [03:58] how? [03:59] holstein: Well, in gnome I think it would be called a panel launcher?

[04:43] windows gives you windows Linux give you the hole house [04:43] tigrang: yes... so just install them and give it a shot? [04:44] omenreal, I guess :) [04:44] tigrang: I had the old 12.9 drivers.. but some of my games would not run [04:45] 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] I found "universal-USB-installer" [04:45] tigrang: and thank you for your work toward my problem regardless of if this fixed it [04:45] thanks :D [04:47] omenreal, which version are you trying to install now [04:47] 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] tigrang: 13.1 [04:47] or somthing [04:47] zz28fb: have you sudo apt-get update?

[04:50] jumping on laptops [04:50] 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] (was a joke) [04:50] tigrang: lol i get it now... sorry a little focused heh [04:50] zz28fb: I am glad to hear it. === sjd_ is now known as sjd [04:52] hej då [04:52] hey folks, do u have some information about sandybridge in the next version of ubuntu?

[04:54] I think now, sandybridge works but not in all the fullest speed [04:55] yeah hylian, I just searching info to the next version [04:55] I'm using it now, and works fine after install mesa-utils [04:56] 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] hylian: That's cool. Hopefully someone here, using Unity, has a solution to this ...

For Ubuntu Oneiric/11.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/oneiric/wubi.exe [06:35] I knew it was wubi!! but I got confused when he said that [06:36] does wubi get around secure booting? if not there's no point in wubi [06:36] 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] wubi uses the windows stuff to doal boot.. not the same as normal install [06:36] wubi does not have a full fledged installer. [06:37] it does a 'wubi boot' ;) [06:38] 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] medical software I mean [06:38] and he mistakenly installed 12.1 and it was crashing a lot for him and he said it is very slow too [06:39] 12.10 is very stable and not slow for me... [06:39] installed 12.10 HOW exacctly? [06:39] now I figure he installed 12.1 using wubi. I advised him to try [06:39] a wubi install will be slower then a full install [06:39] 12.04 ( that is the lts too and I thought it would be good advise for him) [06:39] he is trying to do that [06:40] ur having an argument?? [06:40] 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] and dependoing on what the software is doing.. [06:41] it is a brain mapping medical software [06:41] :) [06:42] so it has special hardware is uses? [06:42] and not possible for a virtual box coz the [06:42] here it is http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/SystemRequirements [06:42] id say try a full install of 12.04 then. [06:43] he may want to use lubuntu - since it will be less resource intensive [06:43] 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] E8400 @ 3 GHz [06:43] 3 gb RAM === freshfish is now known as frustro [06:44] so, gonna try a uefi install [06:44] Hi Guise [06:44] asrock990 [06:44] someone that could help me? ... V4l2 issues :( already spent 4 hours on google and nothing [06:44] and the graphics is a decent one [06:45] I am able to set a fake video device... /dev/video1 but... Firefox or chrome are not recognizing it [06:45] it just takes my webcam [06:45] Hmm. Fake video device? ive used 'webcamstudio' ages ago for that sort of task.... [06:45] adjust flash global settings for what yo use as an input? [06:46] flash can be a pain with its webcam access [06:46] yeah I did frustro but no luck :( [06:46] webcamstudio sucks :( [06:46] i found it quiet handy when i used it. [06:46] it cannot play some .avi files or actually any file without sound [06:46] out of ideas then BobbyShaftoe [06:46] good luck. [06:47] 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] 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] so the whole point of this is to play a video over a webcam stream to some friends? [06:47] but not on firefox or chrome :( [06:48] just thinking about scaring my GF lol [06:49] but webcamstudio is not playing files without sound [06:49] or it just dosent know the sound codec used by that file [06:49] been ages since i last used it. [06:49] there is no sound codec on the file since it has no sound at all [06:50] it is just a loop [06:50] add some sound? [06:51] bbl [06:51] yeah it works like that lol but man...

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] prabhu123: Maybe your work location uses a virtual private network ? === Justasic2 is now known as Justasic [07:03] 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] Vivekananda: no [07:05] Vivekananda: Wubi writes Ubuntu to one large file which lives on the Windows partition. [07:05] yuck [07:05] so now gparted and all that [07:05] Vivekananda: Wubi does not repartition, no. [07:05] gabkdlly: So when I ask him to resize and all will that be okay with gparted and [07:06] if he has that recover partition along with windows ? [07:07] Vivekananda: Wait, now I am confused, you are doing a wubi install, but you are doing something with a recovery partition ? [07:10] 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] Hi. I've a problem with ubuntu. [07:12] Hello guys [07:12] I know this is not the best place to ask as it's not vanilla ubuntu (but then again who uses unity?) [07:12] anyway, onto the problem at hand. [07:13] 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] 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] 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] 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] but not sure how this will work in his case so I wanted to ask you guys to guide me [07:15] i'm running ubuntu 12.10, cinnamon, and banshee and/or its interactions with the system is the probable root cause.

[09:42] 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] because I need to compile something that uses a proprietary library that's only available as 32 bit [09:43] Most problelsm i find are the system user doing weird things... [09:43] ;) [09:43] ShapeShifter499: how many places will you ask this question ?

[12:25] I'm looking for as base an image as possible... does ubuntu still do jeos? [12:25] pritesh: I agree with cfhowlett. You should take a look at the distros dedicated to being small (like damnsmalllinux).

[16:15] If im mounting for win hibernated? [16:15] StephenS, AFAIK, removing the hibernate file will remove the windows hibernation state [16:15] 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] so the next time you boot into windows, it won't be hibernated, it will be a fresh boot [16:15] 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] bvm1228: We can definitely help you, but what about "error: no such device"?

You can ask ##windows for help on fixing your mbr [16:29] Okay so I ran sudo dpkg -r skype [16:29] ;;ticker [16:29] Will that remove all the skype crap sitting around? [16:29] kc102: why? [16:29] but i still get the grub error [16:30] bvm1228: because you haven't restored the windows mbr [16:30] Because I thought that's how I'd remove the old skype repositories. [16:30] i have tried bootrec.exe /fixboot [16:30] 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] bvm1228: Before that you have to run [ bootrec /fixmbr ] [16:31] bvm1228: ##windows can help you with this; it's a windows issue === Riussi_ is now known as Riussi [16:31] jrib, how do I do this?

You open it with a text editor with: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:34] oh sorry now i see [16:34] was lookin for a folder [16:35] http://pastebin.com/ZmRm6wtn [16:35] kc102: so you see the cdrom line and the line at the bottom about "download.skype.com"? Comment or delete those [16:36] yes [16:36] okay [16:36] kc102: then save [16:36] By those, do you mean the last three in the list? Or just the skype line? [16:36] kc102: I mean only line 1 and line 8 [16:36] 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] my1gsus: just ask your question [16:37] The file is read only. :s [16:37] kc102: it's a file. You open it with a text editor with: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:37] It is opened. Sec [16:38] kc102: you can "/msg ubottu sudo" for more information. You need to open it using gksudo $editor [16:38] 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] my1gsus: help.ubuntu.com server guide may also be helpful to you [16:38] How do i do this on ubuntu? is it the same procedure as on debian? https://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/ [16:38] tcstar: permissions on symlinks are meaningless. Change the permissions on the target [16:38] jrib: thank you [16:39] any support for ubuntuserver? [16:39] !ask | djkorn [16:39] djkorn: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:39] Industrial: the page suggests those packages are for both ubuntu and debian [16:40] 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] am I doing something wrong? [16:40] oh didnt restarted ssh [16:40] StephenS: obviously you are doing something wrong :P [16:40] hmm still nothing [16:40] StephenS: start over and just use ssh-copy-id to copy the public key over [16:41] Milos_SD, smederevoMAN === SonikkuAmerica is now known as blah [16:41] jrib ha? [16:41] StephenS: is that a question? :x === blah is now known as a123 === a123 is now known as ab12 === IboS_ is now known as IboS [16:42] jrib I'm unsure of what I'm doing here. Do I type gksudo geddit into the terminal, then the file path? [16:42] 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] StephenS ? [16:42] kc102: you type "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in a terminal and press return, yes === ab12 is now known as SonikkuAmerica [16:42] Milos_SD, nista :) [16:42] Connectong to the target machine on port 27017 from a different source machine works fine [16:42] any support for virtualbox-server? [16:42] Worked that time, cool. [16:43] strigga: there's no version ever close to "11.06LTS" [16:43] Okay, file has been fixed. ^^ [16:43] jrib: hang on [16:43] even* [16:43] jrib, 11.04 is close, it's only .02 off! [16:43] kc102: now run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype" [16:43] tgm4883: not LTS though :) [16:44] jrib, ah true [16:44] Okay, fingers crossed! [16:45] I want to say it installed but I don't see it in my list of programs. [16:45] nice.. thanks [16:45] try typing "skype" [16:45] 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] on unity try typing "skype" [16:46] hells yeah! [16:46] tysm! [16:46] jrib: OK it's 11.04 NON LTS :) [16:46] hey guys, how can i install ATI HD 4250 driver on latest ubuntu? [16:46] hi [16:46] 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] It's ugly, but it's skype! [16:46] 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] kc102: you didn't say you didn't want the ugly version [16:47] Who answers these questions? [16:47] /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: No identities found [16:47] dafq [16:47] slacko12664: other users like you :) [16:47] yes [16:47] how about virtualbox-server guys? any one install on their boxes? [16:47] thats true [16:47] Didn't know there was an ugly version, or if I had options. :P [16:47] djkorn: What are you asking? [16:47] StephenS: what did you execute exactly? [16:48] djkorn did that once [16:48] pici, yeah was asking anyone who installed virtualbox-server [16:48] yes did that once [16:48] jrib, ssh-copy-id file.ppk [16:48] 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] slacko12664: hi, yeah.... love to try that... hmm any guides or walkthrough? [16:49] 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] installed ubuntu server [16:49] StephenS: read "man ssh-copy-id" for syntax. It's pretty short. You can ask if you're not sure [16:49] 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] Pici: hmm ok, i need a walkthrough or guides... [16:49] StephenS: http://superuser.com/questions/232362/how-to-convert-ppk-key-to-openssh-key-under-linux [16:49] slacko12664: is it hard? or just plain install? and run smoothly? [16:49] ran smooth for me [16:50] on vmware though [16:50] 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] slacko12664: i see i wanna try virtualbox, vmware is not a freeware right? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [16:50] WHy woudld i use putty on linux? [16:50] yup thats right [16:51] but for learning its good to learn [16:51] kc102: have you checked the appdb? http://appdb.winehq.org/ [16:51] 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] StephenS: It can make managing connections a bit easier, and is familiar for Windows users. [16:51] slacko12664: yeah for me i will use virtualbox.... [16:51] or try [16:51] ok [16:51] slacko12664: yeah will try....... [16:51] slacko12664: will get back tou you later. [16:51] ok [16:51] StephenS: check if your ppk-key has the correct format [16:52] StephenS: where did you get that ppk file? [16:52] from puttygen and Im logged in via putty on linux [16:52] but this is temp solution as I still cannot manage sftp access with linux [16:52] hi === ubuntu is now known as Guest30296 [16:53] 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] How do I figure out why cron didn't pick up my root's crontab entry to run a script? [16:54] Is anyone here proficient in BackTrack? [16:54] r00t : We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux [16:54] !backtrack | r00t [16:54] r00t: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [16:54] Thanks [16:54] ok [16:54] 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] wow that fact is really packed with info! [16:55] SolarisBoy: We try to give ubottu the most bang for the buck [16:55] lol - no pun? [16:55] bye guys [16:55] cschneid, does dmesg or syslog say anything about it? [16:55] 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] tgm4883: dunno - let me go take a look. Its been a while since digging into real sysadmin [16:55] (ie, even knowing where logs are :) ) [16:56] cschneid: what is the header on that file? [16:56] cschneid, /var/log [16:56] cschneid: the shebang rather - [16:56] yeah [16:56] root@li291-24:/var/log# head -n 1 /srv/irclogger.com/backup_db.sh [16:56] #!/bin/bash [16:56] and permissions are 755, so that's fine. [16:57] cschneid: interesting [16:57] 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] cschneid: is your $SHELL bash? - i think cron's default is sh although you do have a shebang... [16:58] hotmedal: try setting swappness lower, or use a lighter desktpo like LXDE [16:58] 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] 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] cschneid, can you pastebin those log files? [16:58] cschneid: oh because i haven't seen the script - [16:59] 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] I'm just gonna get around it by dropping it in the /etc/ and move on :) [16:59] I should think Gnome would be ok with 1GB ram [16:59] this whole server needs a rebuild [16:59] with some sort of logic [16:59] anyone know why the source package for login (shadow actually) is missing from 12.04?!? [17:00] hotmedal: it will but Forefox isn't great with RAM, try something lighter, it may hepl [17:00] hotmedal: No it is not enough for new GNOME or Unity [17:00] cschneid: add the job to /etc/crontab, is it running then? [17:00] llutz: yeah, that's my next plan. [17:00] 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] 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] alimj: ubuntu requirements page gives a minimum of 512Mb so is technically ok, but it will perform badly [17:00] ie, editing the one that's not actually running [17:00] or something like that [17:01] ActionParsnip: Yes but will be too slow [17:01] alimj: like I said ;) [17:01] 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] scampbell, shadow? [17:02] could someone help me tunnel a tight vnc server through ssh? [17:02] 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] scampbell, there doesn't appear to be a shadow package, source nor binary [17:03] dpkg -S /bin/login give you login apt-get source login redirects to shadow but can't find it. [17:03] 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] 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] alimj: lxde is fantastic, these days I just run Fluxbox with xcompmgr so I can run docky :) [17:05] SmokeyD: try using unetbootin - it certainly allows it on a 2G stick - I have never heard of a 1.9G one [17:06] btw, in the original debian login does indeed refer to shadow and that source package exists. [17:06] scampbell, 'apt-get source login' works for me (downloads shadow source). Did you disable the srouce repos? [17:06] 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] How do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/yXRdQs0c [17:06] 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] 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] scampbell, yep [17:07] kc102: does the file exist? [17:07] ciao [17:07] 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] jpmh1: unetbootin doesn't complain. Weird. I though usb-creator-gtk was the "official" ubuntu way of doing it [17:08] Action: There is no .safetable [17:08] Do I need to create it? [17:08] kc102: can't hurt to try [17:09] scampbell, if it helps, here is my deb-src line "deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse restricted universe main" [17:09] I made it. I'll see if I get the error any more. :) [17:09] got it, was a missing deb-src line. Much better :) [17:10] 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] 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] flam_: how about if you copy the link, then run your media player and open the location, is it ok? [17:15] !doesn't work [17:15] it won't work [17:15] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [17:15] tried with vlc and totem [17:15] just installing restricted-extras [17:15] jhutchins_wk: are you psychic? [17:16] don't make fun of anybody ? [17:18] flam_: tried mplayer-gnome ? [17:18] not yet [17:19] flam_: http://blog.moes.as/2009/07/make-mms-stream-work-with-firefox-on.html [17:20] thanks, i'll look at that [17:21] greetings... Today I really need one plausible answer guys! [17:21] Phyisicist: to what question? [17:22] what is guest account on ubuntu 12.10 === ericab_away is now known as ericab [17:22] savio: a design-flaw [17:22] 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] is it part of lightdm [17:23] savio: it is an account that can be used by anyone. I believe the settings are non-persistant [17:23] Phyisicist: is this a desktop OS? [17:23] ActionParsnip: That one ^ [17:23] ActionParsnip: Yes! [17:23] Phyisicist: then it is EOL in less than a month. I recommend you upgrade to Precise asap [17:23] savio: add "allow-guest=false" to "[SeatDefaults]" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to get rid of it [17:24] ActionParsnip, yes I know that ? for gest account we don't have any entry in /etc/groups of /etc/passwd file [17:24] llutz: why do you say it's a design flaw? [17:24] savio: yes, its a guest, it has very little power etc. [17:24] jrib: no system has to have a guest accoun [17:24] t [17:24] llutz: they are convenient though [17:24] except kiosk [17:24] i know the configuration . i want to know how this is integrated with linux [17:24] ActionParsnip: So, Should I upgrade to Ubuntu Precise? I like LL.. [17:25] Phyisicist: Upgrading to more current software may solve the problem. If not, we will be more familiar with what might be wrong. [17:25] Hello === tlyu_ is now known as tlyu [17:25] 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] Phyisicist: your release is quite old and many newer versions have been released of most of what you are using. [17:26] ActionParsnip: In fact, I am in that O.S. because backtrack.. My current version is the latest back | track 5 r3 [17:26] Phyisicist: backtrac isn't supportd here, it is supported in #backtrack-linux [17:26] Hi. How can I change the number of workspaces at 12.04? (without ubuntu-tweaks) [17:27] ActionParsnip: they might be convenient, but they shouldn't be activated by default. [17:27] llutz: oh absolutely, but remember the audience of ubuntu etc [17:27] aaargh how do i set the password of a new user account? [17:27] n000b: sudo passwd usernameyoumade [17:27] n000b: as new user: passwd [17:27] 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] ActionParsnip: Yes, I know..... I am here because I think in the base.. But it is ok.. I appreciate the advice.. [17:28] n000b: how did you create the account? [17:28] llutz what is the "old" password of a new created user? [17:28] Phyisicist: the base is moot, you are using backtrack. [17:28] n000b: you know [17:28] llutz never set one empty is not accepted [17:28] n000b: so see ActionParsnip , sudo passwd username [17:28] jrib with the system settings user gnome dialogue [17:28] n000b: yes because empty passwords aren't good at all [17:29] n000b: if you ran passwd with sudo you shouldn't be asked the old password [17:29] 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] then it shows all the drives [17:29] ActionParsnip: Thank you. I will there in backtrack-linux.. [17:29] n000b: more specifically, "sudo passwd USERNAME" [17:29] after it installs the nvidia drivers [17:29] Phyisicist: thanks [17:30] is thre a terminal command to enable the onscreen keybored [17:30] its not softraid its onboard hardware raid [17:30] makes no sense to me [17:30] jrib llutz ActionParsnip thanks that worked... why was it removed from gnome system settings user dialogue? [17:30] Bry90820: press ALT+F2 and run: onboard or: gok [17:30] jhutchins_wk: Thank you too.. [17:30] n000b: no idea, I don't use those GUI things, too slow [17:31] Bye Bye channel.. Good day for all.. [17:31] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] ATTENZIONE: Non e' stata intercettata la versione originale di lynx.

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [17:37] hi all [17:39] 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] Which logs would I check if my systems locked up completely to see what cased the lock up? [17:40] caused* [17:40] 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] 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] taranis__, you could start with /var/log/syslog [17:41] what is good weather gadget for ubuntu 12.10 but not my-weather-indicator as that does not work! [17:41] 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] is there a terminal command to enable he onscreen keyboard and then another one to disable [17:43] so will this remove the ubuntu dual boot logo at start up [17:44] hi, i wonder: is there a chance for a qt5 backport to precise? [17:44] sdw25: it will remove the boot manager screen with the two blue squares offering Windows and Ubuntu [17:44] then can i install it back [17:45] 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] sdw25: yes or do a normal dual boot. Then you don't have to worry about losing it. === toxboi` is now known as toxboi [17:45] Hi guys, how do I make unity start in a vnc xstartup script ?

[19:47] hiya, how can i install the latest kernel on ubuntu 12.10? [19:47] Shutterstrom: One's going to work as well as another.

[20:15] yes, today as every day. But the problem occurs frequently [20:15] Is there any way to forcibly put a process on an exclusive core in a multi-core system? [20:16] Luy1n, well has it ever worked? or has it always been effed up? [20:16] 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.

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] gustav_: man taskset [20:19] emjay25: can I give you any more information [20:19] ? [20:20] Luy1n, how far away are you from the router? [20:21] 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] 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] jordan: Removing options sounds great. [20:21] that depends. right now it's one storey above me. Sometimes two, but sometimes (when I'm at University) quite near [20:22] Luy1n, but the signal is strong, aye? [20:22] rather to be called ok atm [20:22] Luy1n, are you sure it's not your router? [20:22] dd_ what will the server be doing? [20:22] not sure. How can I find out? [20:23] you try connecting to it from any other computers? [20:23] Where is the default taskset made? [20:23] snape: it's a web server [20:23] 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] 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] gustav_: can you just ask your real question? [20:24] AP? [20:24] Hi - Has anyone tried to stream audio from Ubuntu to an AirPlay receiver? (E.g. Mac, AppleTV etc.) [20:24] access point [20:24] jrib: Which is? [20:24] Luy1n: Access Point [20:24] gustav_: only you would know. [20:24] jrib: Ok. [20:25] Is there a buffer save option for IRC? [20:25] Camouflages: Not for IRC, no. Some clients will log traffic. [20:25] ok, so it might just be too much traffic when too many computers are trying to contact the same router? [20:25] thx [20:25] Camouflages: IRC is just the protocol. [20:25] !logs | Camouflages [20:25] Luy1n, that could definitely create some problems [20:25] Camouflages: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [20:26] hi [20:26] Luy1n, try connecting to the same network with a different device [20:26] Ubottu that works :) [20:26] Camouflages: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:26] Luy1n, if you get the same results then it's probably the network [20:26] 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] 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] 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] gustav_: but I told you the command to do that ... [20:27] jrib: So what question do you want me to ask? Will you marry me? What? [20:28] lol [20:28] dd_ if you're using vhosts apache will use the default vhost for your fqdn [20:28] Luy1n, perhaps.. you really won't know for sure until you do some trouble shooting [20:28] Thanks... I will hang with 12.04.02 for a bit more. Back to work for me... [20:28] gustav_: good luck with your issue. [20:28] 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] is there an updated command for dpkg-reconfigure [20:28] how to get hardware spec ? [20:28] hmm... being arrogant when asking for help never results in a lot of support... just saying. [20:28] ok, thank you. Have you got any ideas what I could try to find the problem? [20:29] twist3d, +1 [20:29] Luy1n: You can look to see if there are any related entries in the logs and/or dmesg. [20:29] Luy1n: It's usually not a software problem. [20:30] 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] .. [20:32] Luy1n, ask other people on the network if they ever have the same problem [20:32] jrib: Taskset can't set all processes so it's kind of useless. [20:34] howdy ya'll [20:34] 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] does anyone have any trouble dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu on a ssd? [20:34] HateYoFace have you seen the information on ubuntu.com? [20:35] no sir i have not does it have a topic on the issue? [20:35] 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] gustav_, Taskset will force a specific service/proces to use a certain specified core [20:35] twist3d: I want all processes to move from one core. [20:35] emjay25: which command should I use for that? [20:36] gustav_, what it will not do is prevent other tasks from using that core [20:36] you can taskset all your running processes [20:36] twist3d: Where's the 'umask' of taskset? [20:36] Luy1n, paste the output of lspci -n to here ... http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ [20:37] .. [20:37] no idea [20:37] I dont lord over my task scheduler.. never used it [20:38] thank you very much, emjay25! [20:39] How do I check for a virus? For example, if something is running in a hidden process. [20:39] Luy1n, you're welcome.. hope it helps you figure it out [20:39] hope so too ;) [20:39] gustav_, you mean like root kits on linux? [20:39] 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] !rkhunter | gustav_ [20:39] emjay25: Probably. I don't know how those work. [20:40] gustav_, try rkhunter and run clamav from ~ [20:40] gustav_, install rkhunter [20:40] although running rkhunter requires a bit of knowledge about how it works and false positives [20:40] Problem is. I don't want a software to solve it. Because software can always be compromised. [20:41] * twist3d blinks [20:41] Has happened to McAffee a couple of times. [20:41] gustav_, source? [20:41] gustav_: the idea there is to have a set of tools that don't rely on shared libraries like on a usb [20:41] And/or Norton AV. [20:41] gustav_, source please [20:41] gustav_: that set of tools you should trust - so you have to use software somewhere anyway. [20:41] tgm4883: I have to do some googling. It was a while back.

As that isn't compromised software, it's bad definition testing [20:43] thats not going to be hard to find if you talking about norton/mcaffee [20:43] tgm4883: The thing it happened on my computer. IDK where the source is. I know it has happened more publicly. Google yourself. === qos|away is now known as qos [20:43] 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] gustav_, now if you torrent your anti-virus.... [20:43] gustav_, no. You said it happened, so source it [20:43] twist3d: That's not what I mean. I mean viruses disable the AV software. [20:43] Or disable rkhunter. [20:44] gustav_, hence the rkhunter recommendation [20:44] 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] Like I said, I need a non-tool solution. rkhunter can be subverted in a similar fashion. [20:44] upgraded ram is faster now [20:44] 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] I bet a lot of trojan or rootkit installing people know about rkhunter. [20:45] gustav_, you don't know how rkhunter works though [20:45] hi guys [20:45] tgm4883: What do you mean? [20:45] 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] tgm4883: I'm reading the list of what it does right now. [20:45] I'm new to Linux, how can I install mono on Ubuntu 10.04? [20:45] SolarisBoy: Shared libs is the least problem. [20:45] gustav_: so usually people who have your fear - do just that - create a usb with their tools [20:46] gustav_: no it's the most of it... [20:46] quick question: best channel for ubuntnu on macbooks? [20:46] gustav_: and and dependancies to an installed system - [20:46] If the kernel is compromised shared libs don't matter. [20:46] Symyon: I'm pretty sure it's installed by default. [20:46] 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] 10.04? [20:46] coops: This one. [20:46] gustav_: if your running a trusted binary of rkhunter from your usb which is statically compiled how will it be affected ? [20:46] ok, thank you [20:46] Jordan_U: sweet [20:46] hi, may i ask: if i do not get any answer in this chatroom. How/where can i attempt to get solve my problem?

[20:49] civilianirc1, how about .jpeg images not opened in a browser [20:49] gustav_, put rkhunter on a bootable USB drive then [20:49] SolarisBoy: USB is read/write. So it's very dangerous.

[20:50] SolarisBoy, you can't trust the system not to mount it rw [20:51] gustav_, boot to a live usb [20:51] CD is physically ro. [20:51] tgm4883: Virus or trojan may be in BIOS. [20:51] gustav_, ffs, really [20:51] then at that point it should be disconnected fromt he network [20:51] throw it away [20:51] and thrown down the stairs [20:52] SolarisBoy: That's #1 I guess. :) [20:52] twist3d > how to get the updated drivers?

[21:48] Hi, I have a 1 TB external hard drive (freecom), which has a security card to auto mount it. [21:48] fightback: This is from the Humble Bundle, not Steam. [21:49] fightback: A System76 rep told me that this game runs on Intel HD 4000. [21:49] But recently I have got a problem, and It just unmounted in suddenly without any warning [21:49] flan_suse: Err. Sorry, keep confusing the two. [21:49] Do you know what should I do? [21:49] Does anybody know how can I fix it? [21:50] I know fsck, but I can not mount the hard drive and then unmount it. [21:50] any idea is highly appreciated. [21:51] mojtaba: Can't just run fsck on it? [21:52] mojtaba, is the external hard drive partitioned? [21:52] flan_suse: No it says: fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 [21:52] e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012) [21:52] fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1 [21:52] Possibly non-existent device? === corex_ is now known as asorak [21:52] twist3d: no, it is ext2. and one partition. [21:52] mojtaba: What does fdisk say about it? sudo fdisk -l [21:53] mojtaba, mount /mnt/sda1 ? [21:53] twist3d: He doesn't want to mount it, he wants to run fsck on it. [21:53] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612020/ [21:53] mojtaba, nm sorry should of read it [21:54] Uh oh... [21:54] fdisk doesn't even show a device of "sdb". [21:54] flan_suse: Did you run it with verbose on? [21:54] When you physically plug in the USB drive, what does "dmesg | tail" show you? [21:54] fightback: The game? [21:54] twist3d: Do you know what should I do? [21:55] flan_suse: yep [21:55] I am pretty new to linux era [21:55] fightback: Run the binary with -v? [21:55] flan_suse: oh, no! Hold on a sec [21:55] mojtaba: Plug the drive in (physically) and after 5 seconds, run "dmesg | tail" [21:55] mojtaba: is it /dev/mmcblk0p1 ? [21:55] usr13: That is likely a media card reader. [21:55] fightback: Okay. [21:56] flan_suse: Oh. Ok. [21:56] flan_suse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612025/ [21:56] mojtaba: Try unplugging it and plug it in again. [21:56] is there a terminal command to enable the onscreen keyboard and then another one to disable it [21:56] flan_suse: try this: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo [21:57] usr13: I did it, but it just goes away and the system does not show it in /media [21:57] mojtaba: Okay, so it does detect it upon plugging it into the USB port. [21:57] mojtaba: Is there a security mechanism that hides the MBR / partitions? [21:57] flan_suse: yes, but it may goes away suddenly without any warning [21:58] mojtaba: tail -f /var/log/syslog #And plug and unplug it and see what clues you might get. [21:58] flan_suse: It has a security card [21:58] Bray90820: 'onboard' might get you one [21:58] mojtaba: I'm not familiar with the security mechanism of Freecom drives. [21:58] fightback: Okay, one second. [21:58] fightback onboard enables it but i also need another one to disable it [21:58] Oh, security mechanism, ok. [22:00] fightback: http://pastebin.com/33W0a3ck [22:00] Hey, how would I install setuptools (easy_install) in Wine?

[22:01] Bray90820: try onboard --help for some help, not on ubuntu at the moment, sorry. [22:01] I was in windows and tried to use it in linux and I format it to ext2 [22:01] !pastebinit | mojtaba [22:01] mojtaba: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:01] usr13: yes [22:01] fightback thank you [22:01] anyone else know?

[22:03] mojtaba: pastebinit /var/log/syslog or tail -50 /var/log/syslog |pastebinit [22:03] fightback: I might have found a solution, but not sure just yet. [22:03] hi, is there a music player for linux, that can automaticaly start playing last played playlist on program startup? [22:03] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612043/ [22:03] flan_suse: Oh great! Funnily enough, the glxinfo says that these components are available [22:05] fightback: Someone told me this... [22:05] mojtaba: Doesn't look good. [22:05] fightback: It's looking for 32bit mesa-dri (on my 64bit machine) since it's a 32bit binary. [22:05] usr13: Do you know what should I do? :( [22:06] flan_suse: Mmh, that would make sense. Can you launch the binary of the game with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose? [22:06] mojtaba: smartct -a /dev/sdb |less and/or hdparm -i /dev/sdb (See: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php ) [22:07] ronillon: VLC has a recent media list ... won't work automatically though [22:07] fightback: apt is busy at the moment [22:07] 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] fightback: I ran "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386" [22:08] flan_suse: I see. weird, but not on Ubuntu at the moment. [22:08] Going to try running the same now. [22:08] mojtaba: ... but it may just be troubles with the security mechanism, I don't know ... [22:08] Tex_Nick: thx for the info. that really sucks i have to say. such a basic functionality [22:10] twist3d: yeah, I know that [22:10] usr13: Sorry, I disconnected. Do you know what should I do? [22:10] ronillon: i understand man ... wish i had the magic answer ;-) [22:10] usr13: Sorry, I disconnected. Do you know what should I do? [22:10] ? [22:10] mojtaba: smartct -a /dev/sdb |less and/or hdparm -i /dev/sdb (See: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php ) [22:10] flan_suse: apt works fine here from Switzerland [22:10] 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] mojtaba: ... but it may just be troubles with the security mechanism, I don't know ... [22:10] 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] marinus: you revert back to the stock kernel. [22:11] 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] fightback: It works! [22:11] fightback: I had to install that package... [22:11] flan_suse: great! [22:11] fightback: It was a 32bit/64bit issue the whole time. [22:12] fightback: It was someone from ubuntu-steam who figured it out after all, haha. [22:12] flan_suse: well, I guess they get confronted with graphics issues all the time [22:12] I've been at this for over a week, and couldn't find anything that worked. Forums, bug reports, mailing lists, nothing. [22:12] gordonjcp, I would review your syslogs and find out why it happened [22:13] usr13: The security mechanism does work. [22:13] mojtaba: Well, that's the part that I know nothing about. [22:13] usr13: When I put the card near the hard drive it just mounts the drive === ubuntu is now known as xananax [22:13] usr13: except that, do you know what should I do to fix the problem? [22:14] usr13: I have used fsck before, but it took long time and it failed to finish correctly. [22:14] mojtaba: I've told you all I know. Maybe someone else here can give you some advise. [22:14] usr13, thanks for telling me, how do i revert back to the stock kernel? [22:14] 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] install the generic one again using apt-get? [22:14] marinus: Just re-install it. [22:15] Is there anybody who can HELP me? [22:15] i see :) [22:15] 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] is there a guide on how to setup qmail in ubuntu? [22:15] marinus: apt-get is your friend :) [22:15] Tex_Nick: hehe, i was just thinking about the scripting in vlc, thx for the tip for irc room [22:16] I tried pressing shift while loading, I get only "grub loading." [22:16] Anyone has pointers? [22:16] !qmail | fdjkf [22:17] usr13: What's qmail? [22:17] !nomodeset | xananax [22:17] xananax: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:17] !uefi | xananax [22:17] xananax: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:17] PLEASE HLEP [22:17] usr13: Wow, I derped out there [22:17] thanks usr13 :) [22:17] usr13: I noticed the packages in apt but nothing on configuring it [22:17] mojtaba: With that? [22:17] *what? [22:17] someone know why i cant see the hidden itens on ubuntu software center? [22:18] 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] SonikkuAmerica: I have got a freecom external hard drive and have some problem with that [22:18] Is it possible that I can't install grub on an ssd drive? [22:18] mojtaba: Can a guy get some !details? [22:18] i try to install preload but its curently hidden. is it some bug? [22:18] fdjkf: http://qmail-support.blogspot.com/ [22:19] SonikkuAmerica: I can pastebinit the result of the command you want to have its result [22:19] xananax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [22:19] mojtaba: Go ahead [22:19] xananax: try downloadinga supergrub utility, [22:19] SonikkuAmerica: The hard drive just get unmounted and I can not use it. [22:19] usr13: thx [22:19] usr12, ronillon: thanks [22:20] celso: sudo apt-get install preload [22:20] mojtaba: It's plugged in...? and recognized by Nautilus...? [22:20] xangua: i know i can install using apt-get but i am figuring out if is a bug. [22:20] It has a security card with it and after using it the system just auto mount it [22:21] mojtaba: As...? [22:21] SonikkuAmerica: after being mounted, just suddenly it get unmounted [22:21] xangua: sometimes, after a clean installation, this happens [22:21] SonikkuAmerica: /dev/sdb1 [22:21] mojtaba: I can't say I've ever worked with HDDs with security cards before... [22:22] xangua: and it happens with the other hidden packages of ubuntu. it simply dont show the option to reveal them [22:22] 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] 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] mojtaba: you could use the touch command to have it check the FS @ startup [22:24] witam [22:24] SonikkuAmerica: could you please explain how should I do that? as I am new to linux era. [22:25] apb1963: *buntu treats runlevels 2 through 5 identically, it looks like your startup script expects the traditional ones [22:26] mojtaba: Connect your HDD and run sudo fdisk -l in terminal to make sure it's recognized [22:26] 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] 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] SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612107/ [22:28] genii-around: OK... so... do I need to change something or is it happy the way it is? [22:28] Hi [22:28] apb1963: Do you see an entry for it in /etc/rc2.d/ ? [22:29] mojtaba: I assume it's /dev/mmcblk0p1 [22:29] there's a symlink yes [22:29] can someone tell me how to record my screen using avconv? [22:29] SonikkuAmerica: no it is not. It is 1TB hard drive. I think it did not appear there! [22:29] apb1963: Then you're fine === qos is now known as qos|away [22:30] Just a startup though right? [22:30] 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] does no-one know anything about audio stuff on Ubuntu? [22:30] mojtaba: OK, it didn't see it. Plug it into another USB port and run sudo fdisk -l again. [22:30] 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] and rc6 has the kill [22:31] SonikkuAmerica: should I mount it before running that command? [22:31] ok, thank you much a million :) [22:31] mojtaba: Yes (or try to) [22:31] SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612121/ [22:31] 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] mojtaba: Now it's there. [22:32] mojtaba: Now run fsck -V /dev/sdb1 [22:32] (The -V switch enables verbose mode) [22:32] SonikkuAmerica: should I umount it before running this command? [22:32] Yeah I just didn't really understand what the warning was telling me... seemed to conflict with what the script was saying. [22:33] apb1963: You just called update-rc.d with defaults? [22:33] mojtaba: YES! [22:33] mojtaba: YOU MUST! [22:33] yes [22:34] apb1963: Ok, should be good then. [22:34] ok, thanks [22:34] 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] SonikkuAmerica: umount: /media/mojtaba/freedom: device is busy. [22:34] (In some cases useful info about processes that use [22:34] the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) [22:34] Tex_Nick: Thanks I will try that! [22:34] mojtaba: What does that mean? [22:35] SonikkuAmerica: I can not umount it! [22:35] mojtaba: I've never heard of that... [22:35] Kion: np good luck man :-) [22:35] mojtaba: (I meant the part about using lsof and fuser) [22:35] SonikkuAmerica: how can I ensure about the status of the hard drive? [22:36] mojtaba: Then run ps ax | grep /media/mojtaba/* to see if there are any processes running from it [22:36] 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? === qos|away is now known as qos [22:38] SonikkuAmerica: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612136/ [22:38] mojtaba: That's just the ps ax command then.

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] mojtaba: Seems I didn't give enough switches for fuser . The correct switches are fuser -vm /media/mojtaba/freedom .

[22:56] 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] If I install that just to use ubuntu, will it be ok now in 2013 ? [22:57] userUbu0804: you could try xubuntu for older hardware [22:57] Kion, yes they told me again about xubuntu. but whats the difference in xubuntu? [22:58] userUbu0804: it has a different desktop that makes it lighter. [22:58] hmm and it's up to date since today ? [22:59] SonikkuAmerica: Hi there [23:01] Hi.

I have access to my data but in the middle of copying files the drive just become unavailable. [23:02] kalenjohnson: I would appreciate it. [23:03] I write a lot of code but It would be nice to code something that coders need. [23:03] Kion, thanks!!! [23:04] electronplusplus, take a look @ brainstorm, maybe you find a wanted idea [23:04] !brainstorm [23:04] Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [23:04] electronplusplus, then you might want to ask again in a more specific room, like #ubuntu-kernel, as this one is rather general === fisted_ is now known as fisted [23:05] electronplusplus: I need a command that does my laundry :) === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki [23:06] apb1963: easy. sms to a laundry company. [23:07] it needs to be freeware [23:09] besides... that's just shelling out to a third party app... it needs to actually DO the processing of the laundry.

[23:10] !flavors [23:10] !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME.

[23:11] I personally like xubuntu a lot, although I use Ubuntu every day for work [23:11] SonikkuAmerica: :( [23:12] mojtaba: It sounds like a defective HDD issue. [23:15] does gedit-plugins package work for gedit3 as well? [23:21] is there a lightweight mac style dock? (suitable for a netbook) [23:21] !dock [23:21] Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars.

[23:21] most can lo [23:21] thanks [23:22] elena-IK: Also most panels in DEs allow you to make more panels. For example, XFCE lets you make one easily. [23:22] elena-IK: Have you tried simply Unity?
