[00:00] bbiab dinner time (and my workrave is getting mad, since I haven't taken a "Rest Break" yet) [00:01] PatrickDickey: I've done it before. And the file extensions get messed up so it doesn't work [00:03] makson: Karmic has been EOL for a while. [00:03] !EOL | makson [00:03] makson: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:08] oh man, I seem to be really stuck now PatrickDickey [00:09] no sound modules are being loaded at all. I reinstalled ALSA but when I type [00:09] 'alsa reload' it says 'no sound modules to load/unload' [00:09] Macuser: I'm not sure what to tell you then. Either you have to follow the tutorials, or use an older Mac. I can say that it's on Apple's end though, since they're the ones that change the API's. [00:09] How do I uninstall the realtek driver I just installed? [00:10] ubottu: hmm could by ubunutu release be that old! [00:10] makson: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:10] ubottu: whats 2_9 [00:10] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:10] ubottu: whats 2+3 [00:11] AureliusR: in the directory that had the ./install file, you might be able to run sudo make uninstall. [00:12] i have 9.10 installed [00:12] no luck... man, I'm really in a jam now. the ubuntu documentation on sound debugging has like no info at all [00:12] makson: 9.10 is no longer supported [00:13] AureliusR: ah great... is that why apt-get and such won't work correctly? === Ijimeru is now known as SultansElephant [00:14] is it a long process to upgrade ? [00:14] makson: exactly [00:14] not really [00:14] just download a newer ISO and use unetbootin or such to make a live USB [00:14] AureliusR: will i have to reboot? i'm at like 970 days no reboot lol, i really want to make 1000 ! [00:14] i'm on a VPS. [00:14] yes, you'll have to reboo [00:14] t === TomyLobo2 is now known as TomyLobo [00:14] lol. [00:14] [00:14] well go another month with no upgrades then, lol [00:15] everything is working fine, i'll ust leave it, and wait until 1000 days, [00:15] only reason i was upgrading i was playing with AUTHY (2 factor auth) and trying to get it working on my CHROOT Jail. [00:15] other than that everything is working fine. [00:15] AureliusR: http://askubuntu.com/questions/151472/no-sound-after-updating-from-11-10-to-12-04 might help out also. I'll openly admit that I'm guessing on this one. [00:15] okay, I'll check that out [00:15] I have some more info now though [00:15] makson: what's in 1000 days? [00:16] aplay -l shows no sound cards detected, but lspci -v shows me that it's still there (of course) [00:16] I forgot that my video card auto-installs an HD audio driver so the realtek driver was probably uneccesarry [00:17] and that cat command doesn't work, it says no file or directory [00:17] AureliusR: what does alsamixer show? [00:18] New install of 12.04 won't shut down or restart from the panel. Gets to the last screen and sticks after 4 of the 5 dots light up. Anybody have a fix? [00:18] when I type alsamixer in it gives me an error, cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [00:19] PatrickDickey: my VPS hasn't been rebooted in like 970 days, i want to make the 1000 :) [00:19] AureliusR: I'm not sure what to tell you then. [00:19] hmm.. okay. thanks for everything though! [00:21] makson: when you decide to do it http://askubuntu.com/questions/144673/how-can-i-upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-from-clean-install-of-9-10 will give you some information. === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [00:31] This grub change was unsuccessful for me - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force" [00:33] PatrickDickey: thanks, think im going to spin up a micro instance at Amazon, im paying linode 20.00 a month for 512MB of ram, which is mickey mouse. [00:33] Hello Everybody. This time I would like o ask some related to a text-file. The file has many data and I want to locate the duplicated lines. Is there any command to do it? [00:33] jxshxx: Does alt+SYSRQ+{R,E,I,S,U,O} successfully shut the machine down when normal shutdown fails? [00:34] fraroco: What is you end goal? Do you want to remove duplicate lines? Why? [00:35] Jordan_U: Would be happy to try, but lost after "alt" ... can you tell me what to do? [00:35] bbl. [00:36] @Jordan_U Yes, this is the goal. [00:36] fraroco: "sort file.txt" will make it easy to find duplicates, but the lines will be sorted (not in original order), so your end goal is important. [00:37] Hello, I need help fixing the audio on ubuntu for my ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard [00:37] fraroco: You still haven't specified your *end goal*. Why are you doing this? [00:37] I know 99.9% sure that it is a driver problem. [00:38] But, how do I install a windows driver on Ubuntu [00:38] There are no Linux drivers [00:38] MDTech-us_MAN: You don't. It's not possible (outside wireless card drivers, and even then it's not recommended). [00:38] !pm | fraroco [00:38] so what do I do [00:38] fraroco: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:39] ? [00:39] so what do I do? [00:39] MDTech-us_MAN: What symptoms are you having? [00:39] audio nit working at all [00:39] *not [00:39] @Jordan_u I would like to eliminate the duplicate lines. The file a compilation of many protein sequences. then I have to align them with software to find consesus sequence. but I need a file with no duplicated sequences. [00:40] MDTech-us_MAN: Please pastebin the output of "aplay --list-devices" and "lspci". [00:40] one se [00:40] MDT, which version of ubuntu are u using? [00:40] 12.10 [00:41] fraroco: "sort file.txt | uniq > new_sorted_uniq_lines.txt" will generate a new file with only uniq lines, sorted. If it's OK for the lines not to be in their original order, then that should do it. [00:42] Sorry, but what If I need the lines in the original order? [00:42] man.. i had to use ubuntu with unity and compiz today - that sucked-a-lot. sorry to troll :( [00:42] http://pastebin.com/WFe3FSxm [00:43] how can I run service 'servicename' start in verbose mode? it just says fail [00:43] Hey guys. I think this looks like a bug but with ubuntu 12.04, x86_64 / AMD64 version, there is /usr/bin/less and /bin/less, both provided by less package according to apt-file and both with the saee md5sum. If this isn't a bug, why would there be a less at both locations? [00:43] hmm. seeems to me the lines should be in a prper sequence as stated in the post above [00:43] jetole, is one of those a link to the other? [00:44] I actually just found that by accident at less as I was wondering if bash had a built in less, running the commnd: tyoe -a less [00:44] jetole, type "which less" to find out, which is the one you will use [00:44] bedah: yes. /usr/bin/less is but because they had the same checksum, I didn't even think to look [00:45] bedah: my mistake [00:45] Jordan_U: Any ideas yet? [00:45] Hellloooo everyone [00:45] Well, i'm trying to install Linux on a computer that has windows xp on it..I have no cdrom and cant boot off usb...and i dont want to use a loopback filesystem...anyway i can install linux on here? [00:46] bedah: no I know and understand the path and priority but actually, why is less in /usr/bin/less a symlink to /usr/bin ? [00:46] pxeboot [00:46] thanks all for the help. [00:47] !netinstall | abhort42 [00:47] abhort42: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:47] bedah: what I mean is what is the point of that symlink? [00:47] bedah: I assume /bin would always be in the path in a instance where /usr/bin is [00:48] * MDTech-us_MAN is waiting for any ideas on his problem! [00:48] MDTech-us_MAN: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:48] 12.10 === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [00:49] Anyone in here know how to set up a smartmail server with comcast? [00:49] or make php's mail() work with comcast bascially [00:49] MDTech-us_MAN: Please be patient. Adding messages like that won't get you an answer sooner. [00:49] Ive read all of that, those methods dont apply to me...HRM. [00:50] MDTech-us_MAN: Try joining #alsa and describe your problem, including the links to aplay --list-devices and lspci output. [00:50] abhort42, no cdrom , no usb , what else is there? [00:50] ok [00:50] I got usb, i just cant boot off of it, just a net connection, windows xp, and a hard drive [00:51] mxiia: not off the top of my head but it would be the same with any ISP so that's what I would look into. You need to know what type of smtp comcast uses, TLS, port number, STARTTLS or other method (forget other method name), what type of pop3 or IMAP server they use, etc [00:51] then install off usb , abhort42 [00:51] !usb [00:51] 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 [00:51] abhort42,^ [00:52] abhort42: What you want is possible but *far* from easy to do. I highly recommend finding another option, like putting the hard drive into another computer, buying a CDROM drive, or anything else. [00:52] Yeah i was debating that...sigh... [00:52] abhort42: simply use bootp/dhcp [00:52] mxiia: comcast doesn't allow you to have the default ports open for inbound smtp and most mail servers will block your mail server assuming for, this is a residential account [00:52] abhort42: boot over network, the kernel, the installer [00:52] all i got is wifi on here, for PXE i need ethernet card [00:52] mxiia: so I assume you realize that you would have to relay through your comcast email [00:52] *sigh* [00:53] well I mean comcast isp, I've done it before.. a long time ago. I had to route it through another smartmail server though [00:53] How can I change which packages are installed as part of ubuntu? [00:54] abhort42: do you have a floppy drive? If so, you could use plopboot manager to boot from usb drive http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html [00:54] i have a floppy drive, just no diskettes ;) [00:55] I have 5 floppie drives within 1 foot of me.... [00:55] abhort42: No other computer to stick the drive in? [00:55] Is there some way to make a custom install media (preferably over pxe) where I can say install these packages, don't install these ones, etc... actually I guess I just need to know how I can have a command auto run when complete as I'll be installing saltstack immediately after which can handle package management [00:55] Jordan_U: not really, i got a laptop at my disposal [00:56] abhort42: if you can get a floppy disc, and install plopbootmanager on it you could boot up from a USB flash no problem [00:57] abhort42: wow at having a floppy drive. Is this like a legacy system you keep for toying around with? What are the specs on the system? abhort42: How was Windows installed on this machine in the first place? If in the process of installing Ubuntu something goes wrong, how do you plan to recover? [00:59] Jordan_U: in all fairness it could have come with windows installed or, I think even windows 98 had a floppy drive install option [00:59] Hi! Ubuntu after upgrading to 12.04, I cannot connect to any wireless network without ubuntu freezing (briefly, but still quite annoying) or crashing (blank screen, no response on keypress); how would I fix this? [01:00] $ uname -a [01:00] Linux laptop 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:00] It is especially annoying when the wireless automatically disconnects and the computer freezes when it tries to reconnect [01:01] I dont care if somepthing goes wrong, it came with XP installed, the cddrive was replaced with another hard drive === Burner is now known as BurnerMan [01:01] abhort42: Ahh, so you have two hard drives? If so, things just got simpler. [01:03] Need help with Geforce 7300 GS under 13.04. I can't get ubity to work with any of the proprietary driver options. [01:03] unity=ubity [01:04] mary_, look in "additional drivers" , ctrl+F2 [01:06] you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 for 13.04 support , mary_ === qos is now known as qos|away [01:07] Tried all of them. Just get blank screen, no titlebar. no unity bar. Fallback Gnome it ok and the drivers are obviously running as I can launch nvidia settings without error.

[01:35] Jordan_U: Do you have anything else for me? [01:35] Hello all, would like to know how to safely change my ubuntu to ubuntu studio ? Thank you [01:36] Hi [01:39] Im using the latest lts version, i saw the commands to use as root but... is it not safer to do a clean install ? [01:40] brb thank you === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [01:49] AlexAverill: It would not be safer, no, but you might not get as clean of a system... you can use something like debfoster if you want to clean things up more... just remember that the only real difference between Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu proper (or Mint or Kubuntu, etc) are the software installed, they are all just Ubuntu really [01:51] AlexAverill: So all the software in Ubuntu Studio can be easily installed on Ubuntu, too [01:51] AlexAverill: Only difference is you don't get stuck with XFce or whatever they're using now [01:52] Yeah, ubuntustudio-desktop has XFce :/ [01:52] You can go through the ubuntustudio-* packages and pick and choose what you actually will need. [01:53] lunitik: Mint uses different repositories, it is not an official flavor (or remix) of Ubuntu. [01:54] Jordan_U: Can just add those repos to Ubuntu, though, Clem doesn't do enough to make it incompatible. [01:55] Jordan_U: The additional repos are FOR Ubuntu releases, but contain things like codecs and proprietary software and such [01:55] think I might put mint back on the other partition , sabayon is too security driven [01:56] :) Three flood bots [01:57] lunitik: It's enough of a change that Mint is not supported here, an important distinction between Mint and {K,X,L,}Ubuntu/Ubuntu Studio. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [01:58] Jordan_U: Mint isn't supported here because their users are too antagonistic to Ubuntu itself. [01:59] The difference between Mint and *buntu is that Mint isn't *buntu. [01:59] Kind of like the difference between Ubuntu and Windows is that Ubuntu isn't Windows! [01:59] wood_quinn: Yes it is... [02:00] Mint is far closer to Ubuntu than, for instance, Debian is close to Ubuntu. Adding a few PPA's doesn't make it another distro [02:00] Salut, Je suis nouveau sur unbuntu, j'aurais besoin de quelque conseil [02:01] !french | Grenat [02:01] Grenat: Nous sommes désolés, mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[02:29] using xchat [02:30] ok but look theres now kali [02:31] Question: Is it posible to install Ubuntu into a USB using the Wubi installer? [02:31] onto* [02:32] in french they told me no [02:32] oh, okay. [02:32] Why in French? [02:33] because I ask the same question than you here no one answer so I try the french channel [02:33] Izach|: No. What is your end goal? [02:34] Jordan_U, I dont really understand your question... [02:35] Izach|: There must be a reason that you asked your quetion, something you're trying to accomplish. What are you trying to accomplish? [02:35] I am on the Ubuntu Wubi install screen, and it is asking for a drive; wouldn't that mean i could just select the USB drive [02:36] me I got a simple question then what is the minimum space allowed for / if install ubuntu 12.04 64 bits : 14, 15 or 20GO [02:36] >My C: drive is getting to big so i would need to install Ubuntu on y USB in order to have room [02:36] Izach|: No. Wubi is designed to be run from the same partition as Windows, and doesn't function well any other way. Why not install Ubuntu onto the USB drive via the normal installer? [02:37] linusasus6, 10G is plenty for / i believe the default install is ~5G [02:38] hi, ubuntu 12.04. i've got a monitor on vga and a projector on hdmi with intel 4000 graphics. it defaults to hdmi, even when the projector's not on. any solution ? [02:38] defaults as in the (actually default) monitor shuts off on bootup [02:38] because vmware recommand minimum 20GO dunno why [02:38] is there a way to set up start scripts/application that are kde and unity specific? I'd like to change my system configuration on startup depending on which DE is running [02:39] can i install ubuntu 12.04 server remotly to a server box? [02:40] Or use a usb? [02:40] linusasus6, 8GiB is enough, I have 8GiB for / plus 8GiB for /usr [02:41] Jordan_U, well, I actually stopped to 12 hour installation because i was thinking that the Wubi would be faster; in fact it was, fast installation at that. What drive should i Install the OS into (Options: F: 44GB free, or I: 7GB free) [02:41] ok so 16GB [02:42] linusasus6, yes, because i wanted to use two Hard Disks [02:42] I would think F: because it has more space, but i dont know if Windows is using that space for anything (how computers use of memory for there OS is beyond me) [02:42] evilytwisted sure if you have a remote kvm [02:42] Izach|: Where were you installing Ubuntu too with the 12 hour installation, and did the installation seem to be stuck at one particular step, or just very slowly (but continuously) making progress? [02:42] what do you mean you got 2 /home [02:43] linusasus6, /dev/sda1 -> / ; /dev/sda2 -> /home ; /deb/sdb1 -> /usr ; /dev/sdb2 -> swap [02:44] Mt screen just flshed a few times and now my mouse and keyboard are frozen [02:44] O.o === Guest4798 is now known as panda === panda is now known as redpanda [02:44] Jordan_U: it was simply a large file (700^MB) so my internet was working at it slow, but yes it was continuous [02:44] Hello? [02:44] hiiiii [02:45] list$ [02:45] nostriluu: kvm on the server box or the pc i wish to use? [02:45] :D First time using IRC [02:45] Jordan_U: not to be rude but, may you please answer my second question about what drive to install Ubuntu into [02:46] hey, can somebody point out how i can see a complete list of all the channels on freenode?? [02:47] what client are you using? [02:47] rafaelsoaresbr me I usually do /dev/sdb1 -> / ; /dev/sdb2 -> /home ; /dev/sdb3 -> swap but now I want to do it on a 120 GB external HDD [02:47] sexy_boy_21, /list it will show in the freenode channel. [02:48] Hi folks, anyone here talking? I can't get any help from the Xubuntu channel cause no one's there. I'm hoping this is just a general Ubuntu problem. === gbyers[Away] is now known as gbyers[Away [02:48] Or a dumb error on my part. === gbyers[Away is now known as gbyers[Away] [02:48] sexy_boy_21: if you are running xchat Server > List of Channels > Download List > Find (type in search word) > Search [02:48] pilap: whats your issue? [02:48] sexy_boy_21, depending on the chat client it may be in the menu to bring it up as well. [02:49] Well, I installed Samba. I changed a few settings around inside of it, and I tried to reboot. I was met with a black screen after choosing Ubuntu from GRUB Bootloader. [02:49] how can I run service 'servicename' start in verbose mode or see a log? it just says fail [02:49] Xubuntu flashed quickly and I got a black scrren [02:49] I then pressed ctrl+alt F1 to get to a terminal thing [02:49] logged in [02:49] entered sudo killall -9 Xorg [02:49] linusasus6, 8-16 GiB for /, if you like to install too many packages [02:49] and it worked. [02:49] ok? [02:50] I'm not sure if Samba was the issue, because a previous installation of Xubuntu fell to the same error, but to fix it, I had to reinstall a couple packages that the restricted-extras patched over. [02:50] I am hoping someone can help me. Ubuntu 12.10 wont mount my dvd drive when I put a cd/dvd in it === gbyers[Away] is now known as gbyers [02:50] Whereas this time I had to killall -9 Xorg and now I can use Xubuntu normally. Any Idea what happened and maybe can you recommend something I can do to prevent it? [02:50] Izach|: Just knowing the "drive letters" in Windows doesn't help much, among other things Windows doesn't treat "drives" and "partitions" separately which confuses things.

[03:29] and im using the right drive letter [03:29] ubulove, it wont boot the usb? [03:30] wilee-nilee: yes, both usb/cd i get stuck on a black screen with a _ blinking and then after some time my laptop turns off. On my desktop it continues and enters ubuntu normally from usb/cd.

[03:30] ubulove, there is a perboot manual key prompt mine is f12 at starting the computer for the boot from list outside of the bios. [03:30] ghost562: thanks man, am trying every day many times.. [03:31] ubulove, when the ubuntu screen hit f6, and try nomodeset, that should fix it. [03:31] wilee-nilee: mine is F9 [03:31] ok brb !:) [03:31] ubulove, So it is a graphic problem right? [03:31] ubulove, good luck :D [03:31] wilee-nilee, she gone. [03:35] was simple, it was necessary to put a checkbox to allow execution of a file as a program -) so I deer [03:35] I have a question, how would one shutdown/restart using terminal. [03:35] ? [03:35] shutdown [03:35] reboot [03:35] shutdown - a [03:36] ok, so basically, just (shutdown -a)? [03:36] no sudo required? [03:36] shutdown -rf [03:37] coolio, thanks.

[03:44] wilee-nilee: no, how can I try it when am on Windows ? [03:44] ubulove, this is a wubi install? [03:45] wilee-nilee: no am trying to install it from a usb and make a partition 30GB etc. [03:45] wilee-nilee: or at least use it from usb first. [03:46] holstein: are you stil around? It wont load/ boot up [03:46] ubulove, how did you load the USB? === XenGi_ is now known as XenGi [03:47] wilee-nilee: by pressing F9 and selecting boot from USB [03:47] ubulove, I mean put the ISO on the usb? [03:47] wilee-nilee: I think my laptop gets old. Because before 1 year I could install ubuntu. [03:47] wilee-nilee: I used pendrive. [03:48] ubulove, they have several loaders yumi? [03:48] wilee-nilee: What do you mean? [03:49] ubulove, was it this one, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ [03:49] wilee-nilee: i was using dd unetbootin, it wouldnt load for me either [03:50] wilee-nilee: yes. [03:51] ubulove, so when you choose the usb to boot what happens then do you get a menu to install try or check the ram? [03:51] wilee-nilee: no it wasn't yumu [03:51] it was only universal usb installer. [03:51] hmm.. [03:52] ubulove, can you answer the last question. [03:52] no am not getting even on the menu you are asking for. [03:52] thats why am confused with my laptop [03:53] ubulove, do you when you boot it on the computer that works with the usb? [03:53] yes on my desktop it works perfectly [03:53] on my laptop it doesnt work [03:54] maybe my hard disk is failing ? [03:54] ubulove, do you get the menu booting the usb on the computer that works perfectly [03:54] wilee-nilee: yes [03:56] ubulove, strange, generally in the boot if it is a graphic driver problem which nomodeset is for you should see the menu. I assume you have used the usb to see if it boots lately on the computer that works. [03:56] wilee-nilee: I think my laptop is getting old. [03:57] :-/ [03:58] wilee-nilee: thank you for your time.

[04:13] thats my problenm [04:13] evilytwisted, are you using plop to boot the usb? [04:14] plop? as in place iso in it and expect it to work? [04:14] no [04:14] evilytwisted, plop is for booting usb on computers that are to old to boot a usb that is the only instance I recall where your problem has shown. [04:15] im using a pentium 4 processor.. [04:15] Old old old pc.. [04:15] evilytwisted, it boots the usb or what? [04:15] It boots the usb just fine.. [04:15] But it requires a cd...

I need to learn how to remove a driver in ubuntu [04:18] AureliusR: you don't really remove drivers in Ubuntu, you throw 'blacklist themodule' into a file in /etc/modprob.d/ [04:19] AureliusR: what is actually wrong though? [04:19] well I'm not getting any audio at all anymore. and I checked all the little things like muting, etc [04:19] and no audio modules are being loaded anymore, since I installed the driver [04:21] I know my chipset is ALC889A, but when I open audio setup it says 'KDE has detected one or more internal devices have been removed: do you want KDE to forget about these devices?' [04:22] AureliusR: Did you try just clicking "yes"? === ericab_away is now known as ericab [04:22] Anyone got any clue why my razer keyboard, and mouse won't load when starting ubuntu setup ? 'Input not supported' does provide the nessesairy iformation that it's not supported, but is there a bypass to it? [04:22] no, but how would that help? === Rokkross_ is now known as Rokkross [04:22] AureliusR: Also, why did you install new drivers when it was working? [04:22] lunitik: because I'm retarded :P [04:22] even I know better than that. [04:23] any info on why gnome 3 would display a black backgorund when I press the super key? [04:23] but in windows, it had the latest realtek drivers and realtek suggested upgrading all, including linux drivers [04:23] AureliusR: Realtek doesn't do the opensource drivers [04:23] yeah I know [04:24] my mistake. i realized they were old [04:24] AureliusR: So why would you listen to them about your drivers? [04:24] and the info I was reading was very old [04:24] but my stupidity aside, how do I go on from here? [04:24] AureliusR: The kernel guys maintain most drivers, ignore the hardware manufacturers, this isn't Windows [04:25] AureliusR: I already told you [04:25] AureliusR: you don't really remove drivers in Ubuntu, you throw 'blacklist themodule' into a file in /etc/modprob.d/ [04:25] right but how do I find the names of those modules? [04:25] and how do I get it to load the regular old audio modules? [04:26] AureliusR: I don't know because I have no idea how Realtek names their module... usually lsmod | grep snd will show it but you'll have to look at lsmod and try to figure out which it is prolly [04:26] AureliusR: I don't know how you think you removed it [04:26] but in lsmod no modules show up for audio [04:27] hello? [04:27] AureliusR: Can you paste its output somewhere? [04:27] Hanger: hi [04:27] sure, one sec [04:27] whats this chat about [04:28] how come hardly anybody is talking === zz_Karbowiak is now known as Karbowiak [04:28] lunitik: http://aurelius.pastebay.net/1189829 [04:31] AureliusR: weird... and how did you remove the driver? and how did you add the new one? === Christian is now known as Guest68567 === Guest68567 is now known as Tops [04:32] I haven't removed anything yet. and I installed the 'new' one using the install script that it came with [04:32] after installing, the new modules were there, and then I rebooted and they were gone, no working audio [04:32] hello everyone [04:33] would anyone have a recommand program that would work with microsoft outlook pst files [04:33] Hello, I was trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit onto an external hard drive.

If anybody can help, please start a private conversation with me here on the IRC. Thanks! [04:34] Tops, this a wubi install? [04:34] Yes [04:34] james1: apt-cache search outlook pst shows a few examples [04:35] Tops, thats your problem it is a file and should be installed in the OS, not a external [04:35] AureliusR: I am confused, I dunno what you've done [04:35] yeah me either. [04:35] How come I can't install it to an external hard drive? [04:36] Tops: You can, but your grub has to know what drive it is on... [04:36] Tops, wubi is not a standard install it ends up just being a file, you could do a full install from a cd or usb to the external but it will run slow. [04:36] unless its a USB3.0 external [04:36] wilee-nilee: wait, this is wubi? [04:36] lunitik, you caught it is a wubi? [04:37] wilee-nilee: no, but you're talking about wubi [04:37] wilee-nilee: I tried that. The main computer I'm trying to install Ubuntu won't boot the ISO from either my flash drive, external hard drive, or DVD (and yes the ISO was burned to it) [04:37] lunitik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi [04:37] wilee-nilee: why are you linking me to this? I am trying to figure out why you brought it up in the first place [04:38] Tops, you familiar with the per-session boot using a key at powering on to get the boot from menu outside the bios? === qos is now known as qos|away [04:39] lunitik, the user said he had to boot ubuntu for the install big red wubi flag. [04:39] not a normal boot from a usb or cd [04:39] wilee-nilee: The way you worded that confused me...but if you're wondering if I set the boot priority to the DVD drive/external hard drive/flash drive, then yes, I did. [04:39] lunitik, I linked as you asked what a wubi is. [04:39] wilee-nilee: not really, and I didn't ask what wubi is, I asked why you're talking about it. [04:40] Tops: Are you using wubi? [04:40] lunitik: he already said yes [04:40] Tops, Right, however there is another way to boot a cd or usb, using a key mine f12 at powering on to get a boot from menu outside the bios. [04:40] AureliusR: where? [04:40] lunitik: Before hand I wasn't. I just recently tried to use wubi to install Ubuntu to my external hard drive since the computer I'm trying to install Ubuntu on won't recognize the ISO [04:40] lunitik: right before you said to me, I am confused, I dunno what you've done [04:40] lunitik, he answered yes when I asked him. [04:41] wilee-nilee: I'll try that. [04:41] AureliusR: ahh, I see it now [04:41] * lunitik shuts up [04:41] Tops: just look for a key beside the words 'Boot Menu' or something like that [04:41] wilee-nilee: Give me 5 or more minutes and I'll get back to you guys. I'm gonna try that real quick. [04:41] lunitik: its okay, I didn't mean to sound harsh [04:41] Tops, your key might be a different one so you can look on the web with your computer model and per session boot. [04:41] Tops: it could be any of the F1-F12 keys [04:42] hey guys, how can i type in Chinese in ubuntu? === TheRainbowDawn is now known as Dawn_ [04:43] tracy, this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/59356/how-do-i-get-chinese-input-to-work [04:43] anyway... lunitik do you know what the names of the standard audio modules are in ubuntu 12.10? [04:43] Thanks much, WN [04:43] could I just modprobe those? [04:44] hi, just wondering if someone can help me with an issue im having with my ubuntu. im fairly new to it, and everytime i reboot the machine, the usb hdd i have plugged into it, keeps changing its mount location from xyz to xyz_ to xyz__ etc... i just want to make it so that it mounts to the same point every time the system reboots, so that my downloader can find the location and it dosent screw with it. i dont realy know what to d [04:44] AureliusR: sure... paste lspci somewhere and I'll even tell you what your module is called [04:46] okay cool [04:46] And I'm back [04:46] lunitik: lspci -v or just lspci? [04:46] the ISO on the DVD wasn't being recognized [04:47] Tops, how did you load the iso to the dvd? [04:47] Tops: did you use a program like PowerISO to burn the ISO? [04:47] AureliusR: doesn't matter, they both have what I need, but -v has a bunch of other nonsense I don't [04:47] or did you just burn the file? [04:47] lunitik: okay [04:47] is there a program like maple (the graphing software) for ubuntu? [04:48] lunitik: http://aurelius.pastebay.net/1189831 [04:48] SecretFire: apt-cache search graphing ... idk what you mean [04:48] wilee-nilee: I had to tap F1 to get into my BIOS. I then navigated to my BOOT menu and selected my DVD drive as the first boot priorty. I then saved the changes and restarted the computer. It said that no boot drive was available. [04:49] SecretFire: try GraphMonkey [04:49] AureliusR: I used the standard image burner that comes with Windows. I birned the ISO to a DVD. [04:49] Tops, what I described to you has nothing to do with the bios. [04:49] wilee-nilee: Oh [04:49] wilee-nilee: its okay he did the same thing, just differently [04:49] : will it do 3d graphs? [04:49] Tops: its okay, you did the same thing. the standard windows image burner SUCKS [04:50] get PowerISO if you can, if you're in windows [04:50] Tops, what is your computer model? [04:50] its possible that the windows one won't burn bootable ISO's [04:50] The one I'm trying to install Ubuntu on? [04:50] wilee-nilee: it doesn't matter if he goes into the boot menu, he already changed the boot priority [04:50] Tops, the one you're trying to boot the dvdvon. [04:50] *dvd on [04:50] If you'll give me a few seconds I'll go get it [04:51] * AureliusR shuts up. [04:52] SecretFire: if it doesn't then there's another that will... hold on [04:53] SecretFire: kAlgebra or eXtrema [04:53] I think KAlgebra is your best bet, but i'm not %100 sure [04:53] AureliusR: ugh, everything I'm searching gives me Nvidia graphics info... I've never heard of your audio card. [04:53] ill check it out and also try maple via wine [04:53] lunitik: did you notice that there's two audio sections in my paste? [04:54] And I'm back with that model number. Just saying, but this is an old, Windows Xp computer [04:54] one is the nvidia HD audio module for the HDMI output on my video card, the other is the on-board audio chipset [04:54] HP Pavilion a210e [04:54] I know the chipset is ALC889A [04:54] AureliusR: The one on line 13 is snd-hda-intel [04:55] AureliusR: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [04:56] Hey I'll be back in 15-20 minutes (probably less) [04:56] right, someone linked me to that page before, its pretty useless [04:56] I dont even have the first directory they tell you to cat to. [04:56] and why would it be intel? my whole motherboard is made with AMD chips [04:57] AureliusR: This is an nvidia guy talking about GPU sound (which is the case for the other) ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/gpu-hdmi-audio-document/gpu-hdmi-audio.html [04:57] AureliusR: intel defined the spec which others like realtek use [04:57] oooh... thank you for clearing that up. I couldn't figure that ou [04:58] AureliusR: It would be sort of like asking why it uses amd64 for an intel 64bit chip... [04:58] lunitik: I'll try the steps on that first page [04:58] lunitik: lol good point [04:59] AureliusR: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/gpu-hdmi-audio-document/gpu-hdmi-audio.html#_trouble_shooting also for the other card [05:00] hi, just wondering if someone can help me with an issue im having with my ubuntu. im fairly new to it, and everytime i reboot the machine, the usb hdd i have plugged into it, keeps changing its mount location from xyz to xyz_ to xyz__ etc... i just want to make it so that it mounts to the same point every time the system reboots, so that my downloader can find the location and it dosent screw with it. i dont realy know what to d [05:00] I'm really not worried about the other card, I don't even use HDMI [05:00] I'm just going to try and get my spdif working again. I think I found the right listing in the alsa-driver listings.. [05:01] jbates58: I've never seen that, how are you mounting the drive? [05:01] its just using the auto mount [05:01] its a usb external if that matters [05:01] * lunitik really really hopes Ubuntu uses systemd in the near future :/ [05:02] jbates58: you can mount it manually instead of with automount by adding it to fstab [05:02] systemd does this in a smarter, more predictable way, but Canonical think the brain-damage of upstart is better [05:02] how do i do that? and will it keep the same mount point every reboot? [05:02] jbates58: yes [05:03] ok, how do i do the fstab thing? [05:03] jbates58: there are many docs online for fstab... google 'fstab howto' and ask questions if you don't understand something after reading [05:03] !fstab [05:03] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:04] dr_willis: thank you [05:04] !fstab [05:04] 'doing the fstab thang...' ;P [05:04] sounds like some hiphop song... [05:05] shouldnt it come back with a pm? nothing has happened. [05:05] !fstab [05:05] * lunitik cannot stress how much upstart sucks enough compared to systemd... almost don't want to use Ubuntu because of this, even though unity is going to be awesome :( [05:05] !fstab > jbates58 [05:05] jbates58, please see my private message [05:06] jbates58: ubottu doesn't like you :P [05:06] whats ubottu? is that the pm bot? [05:06] jbates58: it is the channel bot, but I told it to pm you [05:06] jbates58, channel bot [05:07] ah cool [05:07] O.o [05:07] hii guys [05:07] !hi [05:08] i use to help in linuxmint-help... taking a look in ubuntu chat [05:08] systemd simplifies the system so much, takes away the plethora of repetitious things like init and xinetd and at and cron, and desktop sessions and etc etc... and does things in a modern way... upstart somehow manages to be larger, while only replacing init [05:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab - 404 error [05:09] plus, upstart does things backwards... loads everything related to dbus if you load dbus, for instance... stupid [05:09] does having a screen session connected to a terminal typically take up a lot of cpu ? [05:09] jbates58: it works for me. [05:10] plus it waits for the service to load, so its parelelization is stupid [05:10] like if i had a few screen sessions in the background vs having them connected to terminals would it be reasonable to expect a lot less cpu load ? [05:10] hey guys i was wondering is there an alternative to openOffice on ubuntu? coz let us face it openOffice is really bad [05:11] chunkyhead: there is libreoffice [05:11] chunkyhead: calligra too, but that is for KDE [05:11] chunkyhead, ubuntu uses libreoffice these days [05:11] Lunar_Lamp, my bad i mean libre office [05:11] Some cool things are coming to both to modernize them, namely telepathy support [05:12] dr_willis, sorry my browser screwed up. it works now. [05:12] Lunar_Lamp, my bad i mean libre office wilee-nilee [05:12] chunkyhead: they've cleaned up libreoffice a lot [05:13] lunitik: apparently those steps are very outdated, as they pertain to ubuntu 6.04 and 6.10 [05:13] AureliusR: not much has changed since then, though [05:13] chunkyhead, I just use word nowadays I have to write papers in a grad program and there is a good plugin to make writing faster [05:13] wilee-nilee, lunitik i mainly switched to ubuntu from windows coz windows sucks but then MS Office is pretty good, which makes me wanna go back, i am looking at other options before actually switching back, coz going back to windows would be my last option [05:13] hmm.. i really need to figure out why my default browser i thought is firefox.. but links inside gnome-terminal and terminal - get opened in google chrome [05:13] lunitik: okay I'll keep trying [05:14] chunkyhead, you can run word up to 2010 in wine if needed. [05:14] dr_willis: "Details" has preferred applications... [05:14] wilee-nilee, ah no wonder, i tried running 2013 but it wouldn't run :( btw any good pdf viewing app apart from the one already installed? [05:15] chunkyhead, acroread is athe adobe reader [05:15] *the [05:15] @dragancho-System-Product-Name:~$ java -jar '/home/dragancho/Downloads/gcb0g/bin/gcb.jar' [05:15] gcb 0g [05:15] [WC3Interface] Error: cannot bind to broadcast port [05:15] [05:15] does this mean this port is used ? [05:15] dak0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:16] wilee-nilee, i'm guessing the package name is acroread only? [05:16] lunitik: makes me wonder what these browsers asking 'set this browser to be your default' actually does.... [05:16] dr_willis: it changes preffered applications at dconf/gconf level [05:17] lunitik: and what uses that then? aparently not gnome-terminal [05:17] other gnome apps perhaps? [05:17] * dr_willis wonders who came up with the names for some of these setting icons.. [05:17] dr_willis: maybe firefox changed it in gconf but gnome-terminal only listens to dconf/gsettings now? [05:18] guess thats possible. [05:18] seems odd - since firefox is the default to begin with. but it couldent change it back after chrome took it [05:18] I have disabled that ubuntu firefox extension. so perhaps that was one of its features [05:18] dr_willis: thing is, if you patch firefox, you can't use the firefox brand anymore, so you have to try to push upstream, which Canonical doesn't seem to like doing [05:19] Hi, I got what is likely an easy question. I want to replace my laptop's wireless NIC from a Broadcom to an Intel. However, the only one I know iwll work is the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100. Will this card hae any issues in Ubuntu? [05:19] Pretty much everything Canonical is doing more recently is because they don't like being told no by upstreams, even if the no is because their code sucks [05:20] helloo people [05:20] i find it annoying their firefox default extensions change the default 'home screen' of firefox.. was looking for a setting that was right there on the other pcs. but not theubuntu box. [05:20] I am following the instructions to upgrade XBMC on Ubuntu. I get to the step to run "sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:current_XBMC_providing_ppa" and it says "Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~current_XBMC_providing_ppa/+archive/ppa) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.". Can anyone help? [05:22] maestrojed: are you sure that link is the newest one? are you sure you typed it in right? === xwalk_ is now known as Guest89838 [05:23] AureliusR I am following this guide http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#Ubuntu_manual_XBMC_upgrade_process [05:23] maestrojed: your ppa:current_XBMC_providing_ppa" id wrong [05:24] thats saying use 'whatever names give the current xbmc release'; [05:24] dr_willis what do I do? [05:24] its an example.... not a exact line [05:24] find the right ppa to use [05:25] https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa [05:25] dr_willis but I never entered that line in. Its not part of my command. Where does it come from [05:25] I installed both chrome and chromium, neither one seems to want to launch on 12.04 [05:25] You just said you were running "sudo add-apt-repository -r [05:25] ppa:current_XBMC_providing_ppa" [05:25] that ppa:XXXXXXXXXXX part is wrong [05:26] dr_willis oh ok, thx [05:26] dr_willis I will try to figure that out [05:26] ppa:team-xbmc/ppa [05:26] is what the laucnhpad site i pasted shows... [05:26] there can be other ppas out there. like for a daily build and beta versions and so forth [05:27] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa [05:27] You are about to add the following PPA to your system: [05:28] or were you REMOVEING the ppa? [05:29] dr_willis I had XBMC11 installed. I want XBMC12. An upgrade would be nice, but if I have to overwrite it, that is okay. [05:29] dr_willis I tried using the repo you suggested. I got these errors http://pastebin.com/AHqvfyVG [05:29] i just installed from that exact repo. ;) [05:30] again... you seem to be REMOVEING the ppa.. thats what -r is for.. [05:30] I added the ppa... [05:30] dr_willis Sorry, gotcha, brb [05:31] you may want to use synaptic or wjatever to remove the old xbmc [05:31] i think i was using that ppa befor.. so it upgraded for me [05:33] which reminds me.. time to upgrade xbmc on my android devices [05:33] dr_willis :) Thank you [05:34] so dr_willis...I hear from somebody that you can help me with an Ubuntu installation problem [05:34] totally depends on the issue.. [05:34] I'll explain everything in a separate chat window to keep things organized [05:34] i dont use win8 or uefi :) so cant help with those [05:35] Ok [05:35] i dont use raid or lvm or other fancy things either. ;) [05:35] perhaps thats why i rarely have issues... [05:35] where are my kernel sources by defauly? [05:36] i did the fstab thing, and it didnt work. after the reeboot, it removed my entry and went back to automount. where did i go wrong? [05:36] nvm [05:36] Will the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 card have any issues or need manual driver instalation in Ubuntu? === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:37] removed what entry? ive never seen a fstab entry get auto-removed [05:38] hey guys [05:38] i wanted to ask you guys which pornsite is the best site ever? [05:38] i entered /dev/sda /media/Odroid\040Storage\040Drive ntfs defaults 0 0 and then saved the file, and then rebooted, and its nowow removed from fstab file, and it mounted at a different locationon [05:38] Google [05:39] http://127.0.0.1/foreveralone jackthehammerman [05:39] ^ [05:39] lol [05:39] <3 [05:39] jbates58: it would be best to get rid of spaces in the paths/names [05:39] jbates58: and /dev/sda is most likely WRONG.. [05:39] dr_willis, dod you get my message? [05:39] dr_willis, lol Tops i am asking coz i google also displays paid results, i am asking as a fellow ubuntu user :P [05:39] does the new ver of firefox hava a java problem [05:39] *did [05:40] i have the packages described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [05:40] jackthehammerman: I see how it's gonna be... [05:40] ok, i'll try that. now its calling it dev/sda1 will try it again. should i unmount it first? [05:40] Tops: use the tools from Pendrivelinux web site to put the ISO file on a USB flash.. or i use some other tools to burn ISO files to dvd.. i cant recall the names in windows.. infrarecorder perhaps. [05:41] Tops, come on.. [05:41] jackthehammerman: use duckduckgo then. [05:41] jackthehammerman: Wut [05:41] come on guys some frank response, that's all i ask [05:41] jbates58: if its not mounted.. you cant unmount it. ;) [05:41] my current one has the uuid and other stuff above the mount info. should i enter that for the one im making? [05:41] dr_willis: Ok...but I mean...I already have a bootable DVD though... [05:42] Tops: if the usb is not made correctly the system will not show it in the boot listing menus. [05:42] Ok [05:45] my current one has the uuid and other stuff above the mount info. should i enter that for the one im making? [05:45] jbates58: what? paste the exact fstab line you are using. [05:46] shoot, lunitik is gone... [05:46] has anyone ever had to upgrade ALSA manually? [05:46] I got to the last step before receiving an error... d'oh! [05:46] AureliusR: as in apt-get upgrade? [05:47] AureliusR: firmware? [05:47] no, like download the packages and configure, make, make install [05:47] i know this is the wrong room,, but is there anyway to get x-chat show raw irc data?.. [05:47] pastebin.com/24rq7nk0 [05:47] AureliusR: saw a scrit[pt to do that - ages ago ;'_ [05:47] yeah but the script would have the same problem I'm getting [05:47] John7: xchat is very scriptable.. so id say yes.. [05:47] thats the thing idk what to use, im used to mirc lol [05:47] thats my current one, above the mount info, it has the uuid number and some other stuff. do i need to get that info for the usb drive im trying to mount? [05:48] and trying to help a friend i'll keep googling [05:53] Can anyone provide some help with the Squid proxy [05:56] I have an G4 Powermac and just installed Ubuntu 12.04 but cannot get to boot rightnow cause of input/output error on yaboot prompt [05:56] isn't there a ppc channel for ubuntu? [05:57] jbates58, you are trying to mount what? a USB drive? or external? [05:57] !ppc [05:57] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [05:57] a usb drive [05:58] now is seems that my system isnt even booting after i have modified the fstab file. [05:58] jbates58, if thats the case you're probably going to have to drop to the shell prompt..or rescue whatever its called [05:59] i have no idea what that is [05:59] ok [05:59] when you boot again if you cant get in , in GRUB where you select the kernel select rescure mode [05:59] best editor on ubuntu is _____?? [06:00] i dont think this has that. its a linaro port running on the odroid-x dev board [06:00] vamp774, kernel line press e there [06:00] fstab is a list of drives Linux will automatically mount upon boot [06:01] if you cant boot you may have messed with the drive ubuntu sits on [06:01] hey guys, best editor on ubuntu is _____?? [06:01] jbates58, There is a page here that may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [06:02] chunkyhead, my personal favorites are nano and emacs. [06:04] I have one of those lenovo laptops with the red nub for a mouse, and am wondering if there is any way to increase the sensitivity on it? The mouse setting are already set to max, and it didnt effect anything. [06:04] chunkyhead: What kind of editor? [06:04] chunkyhead: Gedit, or I use geany for software development [06:05] alguem [06:06] alguem ae [06:08] Anyone here have experience with Seagate SV35 drives? [06:09] Akiva-Mobile, for programming. [06:09] Howdy [06:09] vamp774, Akiva-Mobile how's vim? [06:09] chunkyhead: vim and emacs are for penguins with beards, not neccessarely ubuntu :P [06:10] chunkyhead: That being said, what language are you developing for? [06:11] qtcreator is recommended by the ubuntu team, but it does support HUD [06:11] doesn't* [06:11] Also, menus do not appear at the top of the program. [06:11] Akiva-Mobile, nothing in particular, i am doing computer engineering so in general looking for a good editor. [06:12] chunkyhead, I never really liked vim. That being said Gedit is good too. I do most things command line. For quick edits I prefer PICO. but Gedit is nice because you can tell it which language you are using so it knows what to highlight [06:12] chunkyhead: how important is the UI? [06:12] chunkyhead: Also, do you use HUD? [06:13] With emacs long term you'll get carpal tunnel lol. C-X X-S to save .... [06:13] or C-X S [06:13] vamp774: Vim is everywhere, so that is nice if you are hopping from linux box to linux box [06:13] and with vim you don't have to lift a finger because caps locks is mapped to control [06:14] Akiva-Mobile, i'm not a pro in cli but i love it, so still learning, gui doesn't matter much, cli will do. i dont use HUD till date i dont know what is it made for [06:14] s00pcan: and that is what sucks :P that breaks my colemak [06:14] Akiva-Mobile, good point. Gedit is all over too. [06:14] colemak? [06:14] vamp774, vim is pretty much customizable, vim like any other editor too indents/highlights/displays line number [06:14] chunkyhead: Are you on ubuntu right now? I'll give you a quick demo of HUD [06:15] Akiva-Mobile, yes i am [06:15] chunkyhead: Open up Gimp [06:15] wow line numbers. I remember when those used to be down in a menu [06:15] chunkyhead, A lot of people prefer VIM. It messes me up because I learned in emacs :P [06:15] Akiva-Mobile, done.. PS: u can use teamviewer [06:16] s00pcan: Colemak is a keyboard layout. they map backspace to capslock. [06:16] ha [06:16] vamp774, emac the apple mac, or the editor? [06:16] chunkyhead: press alt, start typing "new" [06:16] chunkyhead, the editor. I use the emacs23-nox package [06:17] well vim doesn't really have a use for backspace either [06:17] it does :S s00pcan [06:17] Akiva-Mobile, done [06:17] vamp774, never used it i dont know what you are talking about :P [06:17] it does but you ahve many other options [06:17] chunkyhead: now that you have a new file [06:18] lets try to do some strange editting. [06:18] Akiva-Mobile, alright [06:18] chunkyhead: press alt, start typing "threshold" [06:18] Akiva-Mobile, can i pm u? it's annoying to take names everytime [06:18] and click enter when you get it [06:18] chunkyhead: heh, well my demo is done. Basically, use hud instead of navigating menus with a mouse. [06:19] chunkyhead, np. its just another editor. My point was just that i don't use vim because it takes me longer to get things done because Im so used to the other programs. [06:19] Akiva-Mobile, got it what you were saying :) thanks [06:19] you get used to vim, but is funky [06:19] vamp774, Akiva-Mobile vim is pretty easy to get used to, all u need to know is some basic commands [06:20] chunkyhead: Anyways, HUD is addicting, and it sucks when you download a app that does not work for it, like most java apps [06:20] use emacs mode in vim. ;) and vim mode in emacs... [06:20] vamp774, Akiva-Mobile if :set ai :set nu :wq and you're done [06:20] and some qt apps as well [06:20] dr_willis, lol [06:20] hi. so I'm trying "apt-get install openssh-server" but it's not finding that package. what gives? 12.04 LTS [06:20] Akiva-Mobile, for that you need to know ur menus hahah [06:20] GlenK: use tab completion to fill in the right name.. [06:21] does anyone know of any package/client which allows me to chat on the terminal? [06:21] !info openssh-server [06:21] chunkyhead: oy. live without a mouse for awhile, and learn to love the keyboard :P [06:21] openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines. In component main, is optional. Version 1:6.0p1-3ubuntu1 (quantal), package size 336 kB, installed size 824 kB [06:21] chunkyhead, IRSSI [06:21] dr_willis: I did "apt-cache search ssh" too and it only lists openssh-client [06:21] GlenK: done an apt-get update lately? seems odd since its in main [06:21] Akiva-Mobile, i don't mouse i use touchpad :P [06:21] vamp774, let me check it out [06:22] GlenK: apt-cache search ssh | wc -l [06:22] 286 [06:22] chunkyhead: And btw, while you are young, you might as well invest in learning an alternate keyboard layout. especially good for programmers. I suggest "Colemak", but dvorak is usually the main one (its just older) [06:22] shows 286 hits here. ;) [06:22] vamp774, not only irc for say fb/gmail etc [06:22] hmm, dns issue I think [06:23] chunkyhead: My carpel tunnel syndrome went away when all my main letters went on home row. Not to mention that I have improved my typing speed by about twenty percent. [06:23] Akiva-Mobile, alternate keyboard? damn i never bothered to read upon that. although i used to have a look at it quite often :O [06:23] I still hate numbers though >:[ [06:23] how about typing accuracy? [06:23] Akiva-Mobile, everyone does :P [06:23] gah. ubuntu. so I'm not supposed to edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand? [06:23] s00pcan: hmm? [06:23] chunkyhead, Im not sure. There probably is one though. [06:23] Hello, can anyone help me? [06:24] vamp774, i was searching online, was able to find one for gmail, none for fb though :( [06:24] s00pcan: As far as I understand, colemak focusses on finger rolls, where as dvorak focusses on alternating fingers. [06:24] Akiva-Mobile, let me just read up on that and get back to you :) [06:24] I know of Pidgin but that isnt command line. That does Facebook but not sure about Gmail [06:24] chunkyhead: there was an interesting one handed layout called entikeys, [06:25] but it would be a pain to get support for that. Colemak is well documented, and easy to install on every ubuntu. [06:25] Akiva-Mobile, whenever i talk to people like you, i realise that there's so much info out there for me to explore :) makes me want to keep going thank you guys :) vamp774 [06:25] My Additional Drivers are giving me two different ones for my graphics card, what one do I choose? (version 173-updates) or (version current-updates) [06:26] vamp774: isnt gmail just jabber? [06:26] Akiva-Mobile, I saw Jabber in the list of applications it supports but I don't use gmail chat so I can't say [06:27] chunkyhead: I am glad that I can sometimes help people. Usually its me asking the questions, and level 4 users like dr_willis bothering to answer. [06:27] that happens to me in college haha Akiva-Mobile :P [06:27] chunkyhead, I like to help people because I received a lot of help . [06:27] vamp774: unless they changed it, I am almost certain they use jabber. [06:27] window 1 [06:27] vamp774, yeah same here :) [06:28] now that i'm so used to qwerty layout looking at colemak is giving me goosebumps Akiva-Mobile [06:28] vamp774: Take that altruism critics! [06:28] getting where i just know the old-skool answers these days [06:28] chunkyhead, I think I had windows on any of my computers for like a year. Then I was like...wait...nah...linux...ever since all my machines run a flavor of linux [06:28] Akiva-Mobile, also i'd need a new keyboard for that i can't remember the key positions otherwise :O [06:28] I rember the old apple2-c that had a dovrak button on it :) really messed people up [06:28] chunkyhead: it takes about a month. Hint; don't change the keys on your keyboard; it will force you to learn how to touch type. [06:29] chunkyhead, i use windows just because i need to run bluestacks for whatsapp -_- and office that's it [06:29] dr_willis: What? No way! [06:29] Akiva-Mobile, Might be. I remember thinking what the heck is a jabber [06:29] Akiva-Mobile, and how easy it is to go back to qwerty after that? [06:29] Akiva-Mobile: it was the 'portable' apple. i had one from a junk sale years ago.. ;) [06:29] I remember when the insert key was my arch nemisis. [06:30] Akiva-Mobile, what do u mean by touch type? [06:30] chunkyhead: You always retain it, but for me now, I suffer when I use other peoples computers. === vmj is now known as MrBean [06:30] its like a weird boolean switch in your head though [06:30] chunkyhead, one of my friends has been on Linux for eternity and it makes me feel the same way. I get messed up on Windows computers [06:31] very strange when you try to switch back and forth. === mak_ is now known as Guest59330 [06:31] Soooo, why do so many people hate Unity? :O [06:31] chunkyhead, I really do learn something everyday in Linux [06:31] !ot [06:31] Treverend: because KDE is better [06:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:31] chunkyhead: touchtype means, well you feel around to understand where the keys are, rather than looking, and that when you click the keys, you are basically very lightly tapping, rather than pecking at it. [06:32] Treverend: people complain no matter what.. [06:32] anyway, I'm getting somewhere with my problem [06:32] What is KDE? I'm really a Linux noob... sorry if I sound stupid. I heard some people saying Mint Debian is the best. [06:32] Treverend: Most people come around, or I can convince them to come around. [06:32] Treverend: there is no 'best' [06:32] aplay -l shows all the sound devices on my system, finally [06:32] and aplay -L even shows SPDIF [06:32] Treverend: if you want to try out kde - its easy to install on your ubuntu box. [06:33] vamp774, i learn alot everyday [06:33] Treverend: KDE focusses on customizability and flexibility. [06:33] vamp774, about what? [06:33] gnome focusses on simplicity and straightforwardness [06:33] Not asking what is best really. Can you explain what KDE is though? Is it just a shell like Unity? [06:33] KDE has some very odd - quirks. and parts ive never figured out. ;) [06:33] KDE is a desktop envirpment. [06:33] Treverend: type into a terminal, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [06:33] unity focusses on touch, and a unified interface across platforms. [06:33] yeah [06:33] Unity is a shell on top of gnome3 [06:33] Akiva-Mobile, oh i've been doing it since forever didn't know what it was called. illiterate me :\ [06:34] dr_willis: What? I never knew that... Its getting a qt rewrite anyways though. [06:34] Thought Kubuntu was a seperate Linux OS from Ubuntu? :O [06:34] Akiva-Mobile: aparently.. i will wait and see [06:34] Treverend: Kubuntu is ubuntu that installs kde by default [06:34] it is, but the shell package has the same name [06:34] Treverend: the kubuntu-package installs the same kde setup on whatever ubuntu install you have [06:34] dr_willis: ubuntu usually lives up to their promise. they have a great track record . [06:34] !kubuntu-desktop [06:34] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [06:34] btw has anyone ever managed to install archlinux? i mean i tried on a vm never succeeded [06:35] !ot | chunkyhead [06:35] chunkyhead: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [06:35] Akiva-Mobile: i recall the stuff from the past thats failed.. like the FailsafeX and other little things [06:35] Treverend: You are right. Ubuntu and Kubuntu are forks of Debian. [06:35] chunkyhead: funny you should mention, I installed it earlier today [06:35] I'm confused.. LOL!! I'm such a noob when it comes to Linux. Did I go wrong with choosing Ubuntu? :O [06:35] Kubuntu is for ubuntu lovers who like to run kde. [06:35] Treverend: not at all [06:35] Treverend, ubuntu is for noobs lol [06:35] Treverend: it takes a while for you to find out what you like [06:35] Treverend: since you dont even know what you need.. use ubuntu and see if it does what you need. [06:35] Treverend, i mean noobs should start with ubuntu. no offense [06:36] chunkyhead: feel free to leave this channel then [06:36] dr_willis: Never been late on a release. Fedora is awful for things like that. [06:36] Akiva-Mobile: i seem to recall one delay.. but theres some that would argue that many of the releases Should have been delayed.. [06:36] Kinda wanna try Mint too, I guess it's more popular than Ubuntu now according to distrowatch. [06:36] Ben64, dude chill what i meant to say is ubuntu is the most user friendly and has huge community support hence suitable for noobs [06:36] Akiva-Mobile, agreed [06:37] Treverend: the disrto watch site shows hits per day.. its not showing any real information about popularity [06:37] mortal kombaaaattt!!!!! [06:37] Treverend: distrowatch is misleading [06:37] AureliusR, i need to learn alot before i can actually manage to start [06:37] ubuntu application management is the easiest :-) [06:37] Treverend: there was a huge amount of blog posts about that a year or so ago [06:37] Treverend: I say the best indicator is to install pidgin, and do a /list [06:37] ubuntu has tons of apps, that's what i really like about it [06:37] and see what irc channels on freenode are the most populated. [06:38] When you guys tell me to install stuff you have to tell me what it does and what to look for too or I'll install it and not even know what to do with it or what it does. xD [06:38] Treverend: thats why you read up on things.. [06:38] oh btw guys i created a conky, somehow it fails to be able to record CPU temp, any help on that? [06:38] dr_willis: Akiva-Mobile: chunkyhead: jinja: Everyone Else: This channel is for Ubuntu support only, please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:38] chunkyhead: depends on how its reading the temps. You may need the lm-sensors package [06:38] Treverend, ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ [06:38] Have been Willis. Can't find all my answers though, atleast not straightforward, that's why I came here. [06:39] !sensors [06:39] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [06:39] why can i not connect to dalnet or undernet in xchat?????? [06:39] jinja: ask in #xchat perhaps [06:39] dr_willis, i have it installed [06:39] right... [06:39] jinja: just a guess - you are doing it wrong. or the specific server is down/blocking you [06:40] Are you all Ubuntu users? I kinda assume you are. [06:40] chunkyhead: theres differnt methods of reading the temps. could be your hardwares not totally supported [06:40] Treverend, yeah more or less [06:40] chunkyhead: you did run the selsors-detect script? [06:40] dr_willis, how to check that. my machine's just 1 year old [06:40] oh no!!!! whyyyyy???? i've been a good boy!!!! [06:40] sensors-detect [06:40] For the person who told me to download Pidgin, why should I download a messaging software? xd [06:40] not all of us Ubuntu users ;0 [06:40] xD [06:41] dr_willis, nope, what's it? [06:41] chunkyhead: it sets up your sensors.. see the !sensors factoid urls [06:41] Treverend, I run Debian [06:41] I heard Unity haters say they don't like it because it's like a tablet OS... I think they are just too used to Windows. [06:41] running arch as I speak [06:41] or type [06:42] Vamp, is debian standalone OS? Can you explain what Mint Debian is? [06:42] a standalone* [06:42] Treverend: non support chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [06:42] Treverend: Please take offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic. This is your last warning. [06:43] Alright. See ya guys. Gonna head over there. [06:43] Treverend: its just got a unique command. I love unity and I suggest using it. According to freenode, ubuntu is the most populated channel, followed by arch, followed by debian, followed by gentoo, followed by android. [06:43] you can be in more then 1 channel at a time. ;) [06:46] dr_willis, i ran sudo sensors-detect selected y for all [06:47] ran service module-init-tools start dr_willis and it says "start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.83" (uid=1000 pid=17490 comm="start module-init-tools ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")" [06:48] running the sensor command just gives me the core temp of 2 CPU (where as i have 4 CPUs) dr_willis [06:50] anyone there? :S === XenGi is now known as XenGi_ [06:51] -_________________- [06:52] OMG I FIXED IT!!!!! [06:52] like 4 hours later!!! [06:52] go me!! [06:52] Fixed what? [06:53] hunkyhead, paste your /etc/modules [06:53] and in the process learned pretty much all there is to learn about ALSA and sound in ubuntu [06:53] my audio [06:53] Please don't mention audio problems, I'll have flashbacks :P [06:53] lol [06:54] I feel you.

[06:54] Linux > Windows every single time I try and prove otherwise [06:55] chunkyhead: or you got a single quad core processor with just 2 sensors... [06:55] one i recall under the cpu and one perhaps built into the cpu [06:56] dr_willis, i5 480m contains 4 cores [06:56] chunkyhead: that dosent mean it has 4 differnt cpus... [06:57] its a single cpu with 4 cores [06:57] dr_willis, that's what i said 4 cored [06:58] cores* [06:58] okay, I accidentally removed all the packages that were ready to update, instead of updating, in aptitude [06:58] you seem to be expecting 4 temperature readings.. [06:58] do I try to undo, or do I reimage :P [06:58] dr_willis, yeah because 4 different cores should have diff temps right? [06:59] chunkyhead: not really [06:59] it just a sensor on the cpu chip [06:59] dr_willis, how is it displaying 2 diff temps then? [06:59] one i recall under the cpu and one perhaps built into the cpu [06:59] time to ask in #hardware i imagine [06:59] or one for the northbridge [07:00] or something. [07:00] are you really worried about overheating? [07:00] dr_willis, i have thermal shutdowns i keep a table fan beside my laptop lol. i guess that means yes XD [07:01] may be time to verify the fans are working.. and not full of dust [07:01] chunkyhead: get a cooling pad for your laptop from the nearest computer show [07:01] fellas, what is the next big thing in IT? [07:02] AureliusR, no point having a laptop then. this only happens when i play games, as of now i am not. one of my reasons to shift to ubuntu was that i wanted to stop playing games :\ [07:03] rexwin_: giant pokemon [07:03] rexwin_: What kind of question is that? [07:03] Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi? [07:03] back [07:03] Tops: not that i am aware of [07:03] Tops: I don't think so [07:04] Tops: There's raspbian though [07:04] jatakk: A who what now? [07:04] Tops: Why do you want ubuntu on the pi? [07:04] Tops: Debian for the Raspberry pi [07:04] dr_willis, they do work properly i can hear them when i play [07:04] That doesn't really make sense. [07:04] Rokkross: I was curious [07:04] Tops: raspian is debian but recompiled for the arm cpu in the rpi [07:04] The whole point is to have something that can run on low-end hardware :P [07:04] aen-ltd: Oh...ok [07:04] ^fail typo [07:05] Tops: use tab :) [07:05] Ubuntu arm support needs arm 6. pi is an Arm 5 - i belive [07:05] or am i off by a # [07:05] so...how come ubuntu doesn't work on the Pi? [07:05] doesnt the Pi meet the system requirements? [07:06] Ubuntu arm support needs arm 6. pi is an Arm 5 - i belive....... [07:06] so thats a NO.. [07:06] Ooooooh....ok [07:06] it does not have the right cpu [07:06] ;) [07:06] Ok [07:06] Thanks [07:06] rasbian works very well on the Pi [07:06] I'll keep that in mind [07:06] hopefully an accelerated X server for it will be out soon. [07:06] according to wikipedia it is armv6 [07:07] its 6 and 7 then. ;) [07:07] dr_willis, how to get temp from sensros on conky pl help [07:07] i thought i was off by a 1 [07:08] chunkyhead: try some other conky configs.. if the sensors command dosent show the info.. then conky isent going to be able to get the info either i imagine [07:08] i+ [07:08] hello [07:08] dr_willis, when i type sensors on terminal it shows me temp or core0 and temp of core2 :S wth [07:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1979126 "Solved - Conky Sensors" [07:09] hello [07:10] hi [07:10] hey [07:10] hey [07:10] http://conky.pitstop.free.fr/wiki/index.php5?title=Using_Sensors_%28en%29 Using Sensors in Conky... [07:10] what package will contain python module pyxhook [07:10] dr_willis, yeah i got that, i'm asking where did core1 go :S [07:10] chunkyhead: no idea. Im not a hardware guy [07:11] could be it dosent exist on that hardware === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [07:11] but then it won't be core 2 right [07:12] chunkyhead: what cpu is this? [07:12] chunkyhead: or its just missnumbereds.... [07:12] the sensors stuff may know about dozens of sensors that may or may not exist [07:12] on specific hardware [07:12] dr_willis, that's highly unlikely [07:12] dr_willis, i mean the missnumbered thing [07:13] chunkyhead: ive seen the lm-sensors stuff show all sorts of very very UNLIKELY numbers in the past... [07:13] like showung my cpu temp being -299C one day [07:13] hey/quit [07:13] Some intel cpus may have a addational sensor thats not on all hardware.. seems likely to me. [07:16] what are source repos [07:17] more up to date, or different packages? [07:17] look in /etc/apt/sources.list [07:17] they are the repos -for the source code packages [07:17] what does that mean in terms of installing packages [07:17] c|oneman: different packages, sourcecode even [07:18] er... i think we are talking about differnt things here [07:18] deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse [07:18] those are SOURCE code for the binary packages [07:18] not newer, not differnt.. the source code - IF you wanted to compile your own binaries [07:19] would I ever want the source code if I'm not a developper? [07:19] and not needed by most users [07:19] thats why they are commented out by default. :) correct [07:19] I thought it might be newer untested packages that you "install from source" [07:19] theres no such thing in ubuntu that ive seen [07:20] !backports [07:20] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [07:20] backports is the closest thing to 'newer untested' or use PPAS [07:20] k. [07:20] and even then. you dont compile from source for those. [07:20] hey [07:20] what is the best graphical download manager in linux? === jack is now known as Guest52199 [07:21] !best | tokern3 [07:21] tokern3: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:21] what sort of download are you manageing [07:22] people don't use those anymore [07:24] i never do ;) other then wget [07:25] i need a download manager which split file into for example 8 parts and download them parallel so the speed of download increase i also want it to have resume capability [07:26] I see that ubuntu offers some emacs packages via apt. How would you add those into emacs load path though? [07:26] for instance, go-mode [07:26] hmm.. if the packages are in the package manager. it should auto do all that i would think [07:27] tokern3: anything with split + compression capability and torrent? [07:27] dr_willis: I'll see I guess, but I don't think it does. [07:27] dr_willis: appears to add here: /usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/golang-mode/go-mode.elc [07:27] I think I got my answer [07:27] that would be the default site-lisp dir isent it? ;) [07:27] i havent used emacs in 6+ yrs [07:28] dr_willis: I'm not sure, I'm just trying out emacs. I'm actually a vim user. [07:29] dr_willis: Seems you were right :D [07:32] aeon-ltd: something like IDM (internet download manager ) in windows [07:33] tokern3, DownloadThemAll firefox plugin [07:33] i use chrome [07:33] :p [07:34] Well, it's a great multiplatform segmented downloader. [07:34] sounds like you need to looka t your browser extensions site... [07:35] idm had a very good capability and that was this: it automatically downloaded video or audio in a web page but it asked me before it download it. so for example in youtube i had no problem ;) [07:35] downloadthemall is like this? [07:35] err.. video download tools are not what i would call 'download managers' in the normal sence [07:35] Does anyone know where the apt package list is stored? [07:35] tokern3, i use flareget >> http://sourceforge.net/projects/flareget/ [07:36] dusxmt, /etc/apt/ [07:36] dusxmt: /etc/apt/sources.list/ or in /var/ if you mean its cache [07:36] dusxmt: /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin [07:37] messing with files in /var/cahe/apt/ can be.. bad. ;) [07:37] dont just delete them.. [07:38] "just deleting" any file outside your $HOME "can be ...bad" [07:38] I just need to find the file that apt stores it's package list (the list that gets updated with apt-get update).

[07:42] OerHeks: well i checked this [07:42] dr_willis, apart from using a formula [07:42] chunkyhead: no idea. You could always check the commands options... [07:43] dr_willis, when i run sensors it gives me the temp is 'C when i use that in conky it gives me in 'F -__- somehow [07:43] ok, well editing the fstab was an epic fail. it resulted in a multiple hour repair inorder to ge tmy system to boot. so, another suggestion? lol [07:43] tokern3, i am not sure, how do i tell ? [07:43] chunkyhead: do you run "sensors -f"? it should give deg C by default unless "-f" is used [07:44] who here is using [07:44] wine? [07:44] OerHeks: as i said i checked it. it seems it is too similar to IDM :) [07:44] nice [07:44] OerHeks: tanx [07:44] have fun :-D [07:45] hi [07:46] TakeItEZ, oh i thought -c was for celcius lol thanks [07:46] chunkyhead: did you solve the missing core 1? [07:47] chunkyhead: read "man sensors" [07:47] it was under the couch [07:47] found them, they were in /var/lib/apt, ty for help [07:48] if your cpu is the i5 480m, then the reason is that that there are 2 cores 4 threads, core is reserved for thread 2, but really thread 1+2 both belong to one physical core. therefore there is only one temp [07:48] core1* [07:48] in htop it will show 4 cores/threads [07:49] aeon-ltd, i asked people on hardware they say i5 480m for laptop has only 2 sensors and 2 dual cores hence only 2 temps are there. the OS takes the virtual cpu as well into consideration hence the core1 is missing, (eg: core0 core1(v) core2 core3(v)) note: v-virtual core0 and core2 will have the sensors and hence that output on the screen [07:50] aeon-ltd, yeah same thing [07:50] aeon-ltd, thanks anyways :) [07:52] I downloaded the skin with .rmskin , now what should i do ?

From what i understand, this means that I will have to add multi-architecture and some other 32 bit stuff. My question is what other affect could this have on my operating system? Could adding 32 bit libraries and such cause stability problems with other applications? [09:18] dreki: i have no issue here.. i just installed the steam deb. it pulled in needed stuff.. and away i go... [09:19] dreki: it's a parrallel installa of sutff so it should be fine. [09:19] Its rather hard to keep a pure 64bit system. theres just to many things that are stull 32bit and need the same stuff [09:19] so the answer is 'NO' it wont cause stabilty issues [09:20] dr_willis: doesn't work, that closes the nx client compeltel [09:20] I dont use NX. so no idea then c|oneman [09:20] do you not have physical access to the computer? [09:20] dr_willis nevyn: thank you. [09:20] ther emay be a way to have nx go to the login screen instead. [09:20] well, what would I use to get to this login screen without a physical display? [09:20] c|oneman: you could alter your .dmrc file perhaps [09:20] vnc? [09:21] ok [09:21] the Login screen is ran by the system, not the user. so i recall in the past setting up vnc (and i think freenx once) to run at boot and go to lightdm. [09:21] but then you lost the persstant session running feature of vnc.. [09:22] I got rid of the quiet & splash from options in grub, that solved it. [09:22] this is a vps so theres no real display. [09:22] or you could use the old .xinitrc or .xsession method to set exactly what gets ran [09:22] did not need to add nomodeset [09:22] a vps may be too slow/laggy to get a decent desktop on remotely [09:23] i tend to just use x forwarding on mine for the rare times i need a gui on it [09:23] Even a decent dedicated felt laggy for me [09:23] hrm [09:23] Why would you need a GUI on a vps? [09:23] on a local LAN i tend to use very minimal window managers for vnc. like jwm [09:24] got a DigitalOcean VPS here.. :) sort of handy [09:24] for the cost of a soda a week. ;P i get a server to play with [09:24] dr_willis, I also use DigitalOcean [09:25] there was an OMG cupon code for it. ;) not sure how to apply it to a existing account [09:25] okay, here's a easier question, how to I "unlock" the lock picture in user accoutn settings [09:25] dr_willis: Not even in Norway a soda is $5 [09:25] dr_willis how can I change the color of my titlebar using the crux theme in gnome 3.4.1 ?

[09:26] paul_: i dont have themes memorized.. no idea [09:26] dr_willis is it gtk3 theme? [09:26] gtk3 is used by the last few releases of ubuntu. [09:27] dr_willis ok thank you once again [09:27] i grab a bunch of themes off the webupd8 ppa. then twiddle with them. theres one that has a tweak tool with it to change things [09:28] got one that the _ and max buttons are hidden untill you mouse over it.. thats my current theme. ;P [09:28] dr_willis thank you [09:28] Ok guys, anyone willing to help me debug why I'm not getting to proper desktop environment?

[10:36] hi all [10:36] ovrflw0x: because "/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" is different from "/bin/sh /home/iamuser/script.sh" [10:36] ovrflw0x: and the latter is what you told sudo to run [10:37] jellow, i have "echo NAUGHTYJELLY > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" [10:37] inside script.shg [10:37] s/g/ / [10:38] ovrflw0x: sudo configuration deals with commands, not files. If you need to run /home/iamuser/script.sh as root, put that in sudoers. [10:38] ovrflw0x: then make sure the script is executable, and try sudo ~/script.sh [10:39] (I'm assuming ~ means /home/iamuser for this user) [10:44] https://dl.dropbox.com/u/570792/unlock_bullshit.png how do I press "unlock" === fantaghir is now known as guest5 === ericab is now known as ericab_away [10:52] Hello.

[14:56] theadmin: whatever ...even if the fdisk is reporting that partition to be freeBSD, the disk manager is saying unknown filesystem ;) [14:57] parapan: Don't trust fdisk much, use parted [14:57] theadmin: K, thanks for the tip [15:01] theadmin: well, adding --scroll-lines=xxx doesnt work with the .desktop. From the terminal it does though. Any ideas? [15:03] in what way is ubuntu better than windows? [15:04] !better | Suiram [15:04] Suiram: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:04] zAo^: Hm... Well, I'm not a fan of Chromium, but isn't there something on eh, about:config or such. [15:04] Suiram: EVERY way. [15:05] theadmin: no, not for scrolling speed. [15:05] Damn. [15:05] Its crazy that there's no normal way to increase scroll speeds after all those years.. [15:05] zAo^: Maybe an extension? [15:05] so theadmin, if I mainly use my pc for gaming I should switch from windows to ubuntu? === loffa is now known as loffa|away [15:05] Suiram: Well, I'd say no. [15:06] Suiram: Not... now anyway. In a few years :P [15:06] ah ok [15:06] Suiram: Anything else though is usually easier and faster on Ubuntu. But gaming is a pitfall, yeah :( I mean, there are good Linux games, but you've probably never heard of them [15:06] ...[/hipstermode] [15:07] f#ck it, cant live with this crap [15:07] lol [15:07] so there is no way to make "mainstream" games playable on linux? [15:07] Steam is coming to ubuntu [15:08] Suiram: There's a little thing called WINE which allows to run Windows applications. Some run quite awesomely (e.g. Steins;Gate is unplayable on Windows 7 but works nicely here, Portal 2 runs twice faster than on Windows :/) but some others work horribly or not at all === Mila is now known as boobsicles [15:08] ah ok I see [15:08] Suriram > Steam is in the Repositories now. [15:09] sefsef: Steam yes. But how many Linux games does it have, really? About 200 or something like that, that's it. Besides, almost all VALVe games are unavailable for Linux so far. [15:10] the admin: Still it depends what games he wants to play. [15:10] That is true. [15:10] Eh, Minecraft works, so I'm fine here. [15:10] lol [15:11] well I should stick with windows untill linux make it more accessable for gamers then [15:11] Suiram: Well yes. I say wait for 2 years at most and you'll have tons of games here. [15:12] Suiram: It depends what games you want to play. Some work real well with WINE or Crossover (a paid version of WINE). And some work well on Steam. [15:13] ill check it out [15:13] Check in Games subforum on ubuntuforums.org [15:14] Depending on what game or games you are playing, Windows may be the best choice.

[16:28] darkdaddyt: source is moot. the data can get mangled in transmission [16:29] no. its a small app called iso to usb.

[16:56] cbronson: If you have an Ubuntu support question, you can ask it, this isn't a general chat channel [16:56] cbronson: stop acting like a child. I told the bot to tell you thename of the channel the Polish channel so you can get help in your language.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:58] idk yet, just trying out linux and xchat :) what's up? [16:58] ok, thanks for help bros [16:58] well I do think i lost encryption, but i have had to install/reinstall ubuntuy 12.10 like 30 times :( [16:58] ActionParsnip: already thought so but now it says xcb_connection_has_error() returned true [16:59] ok here it is [16:59] hi guys, i am trying to install ubuntu from usb, but the window manager doesn't start. is there a way, to install ubuntu from the terminal in the live session? === James_SSF is now known as SSF [17:00] ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d9ae8f460d742b3e46f99ae1a84fb8d4341aa3ef [17:00] what name have a channel in polish language? === loffa is now known as loffa|away [17:01] ursula, do you get a gui menu at all when booting the usb [17:01] nessus is not available for ubuntu 12.10? [17:02] wilee-nilee, i only get the backround image and the mouse. i can open a terminal and start everything from there [17:02] ursula: what version did you download? [17:02] I'm trying to use this init script which is for debian on ubuntu http://wiki.znc.in/Running_ZNC_as_a_system_daemon [17:03] can anybody point me to one for ubuntu that won 't cause weirdness? [17:03] the default on ubuntu.com. the newest(12.10) [17:03] is there anyway to use the encrypt tion that you can choose during install and put it back on now that i have evrything setup? [17:03] veryhappy: run: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [17:04] veryhappy: reboot to test [17:04] ursula, when you say start everything there what do you mean, also what app did you use to load the usb? [17:04] ActionParsnip: ok, thanks, i'll be right back [17:05] veryhappy, are you trying to use the usb audio module or the intel ? [17:06] BluesKaj: i'm trying to get my loudspeakers mute when i stick my headphones in the headphones jack [17:06] wilee-nilee, i used unetbootin, it gives me the option to start a desktop session(the only thing, that works). from the tarminal i can start for example nautilus [17:06] can anyone tell me why i have a 255 mb drive in my menu? i followed nixie pixels tut to install, i manually partitioned the drives and now i have this extra drive in my menu [17:07] be right back guys [17:08] I noticed that touchpad on my asus k75v is generating 500+ cpu wakeups and therfore eating more battery than flash player! Is that normal? [17:08] ursula, so are you actually getting to the desktop? [17:10] wilee-nilee, yes, everything that doesn't work is the window manager [17:12] i had problems with all the usb makers, burned 15 dud cds, finally was able to burn a working cd with a linux iso burner. that was the only way that worked for me. running toshiba satelite amd64 [17:13] ursula, may just be a graphic driver is needed, if it was me I would use a different usb loader so as to get the menu you see opon booting a cd. I use the multisystem usb loader found at pendrivelinux. From that menu you are not see is a f6 option to chose nomodeset. This can be done in unetbootin to I believe I just don't know how. [17:13] spent 1 week just to get this far [17:13] *s/opon/upon [17:14] wilee-nilee, that is a good tip, thanks. but for now i would like to just install ubuntu and deal with that tomorrow. [17:15] selam [17:15] ursula, understandable, maybe others will have no options to help, good luck. === qos_ is now known as qos_|away [17:15] s/no/more === luigi is now known as Guest42241 [17:17] hello === lasdo is now known as JohnathonDoe [17:17] hello [17:18] ActionParsnip: ok, i'm back, it doesn't work. now i rather even get a strange result in alsamixer, switching off headphones mutes my sound that i have to switch it back on only in kmix and sticking the headphones in the jack also doesn't mute my loudspeakers but leaves them on and i can't independently turn my headphones louder or quieter it's quite the same thing it was before. [17:21] I've got an issue with dual monitors if anyone could help? [17:23] did I hear there was an ubuntu 13 out? [17:24] hays, 13.04 Beta 1 [17:24] any idea on starting the ubuntu installation from a live session? === King is now known as Guest60276 [17:24] hays, 13.04 is in development at this time [17:24] !ubuntu+1 | hays [17:24] hays: Raring Ringtail is the codename for Ubuntu 13.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [17:25] Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on my SSD using a live usb but I can't select the SSD upon installation === boobsicles is now known as Chell [17:25] leforce, does your computer see the BIOS? [17:25] oh geeze [17:25] leforce, did you try the something else option for a manual install? [17:25] leforce, rephrase, does your computer's BIOS see the SSD? [17:25] kow, yes the SSD is detected in the bios, I have tested IDE and ACHI [17:26] leforce, what SSD do you have? [17:26] leforce, Does the SSD have a partition table? [17:26] hey folks, just tried to send an email for the first time in ages in Evolution using hotmail, it would appear that my config no longer works, this is the same config that is still stated on the ubuntu wiki. Is hotmail sending broken? [17:26] !hotmail [17:27] kow, a Corsair nova 2 [17:27] o/ I'm getting myself familar with ubuntu. Is there a book I that goes into massive detail into the UNIX OS itself? Like not for just learning a few commands. I want to know how UNIX handles everything [17:27] leforce, is it a brand new unused SSD - or has it been used before? [17:27] I did have Windows 7 on the SSD before but the ubuntu installation should be able to erase the disk completely, right_ [17:28] TheGrey, you do know that Ubuntu is not unix, yeah? [17:28] kow, It's been used, like I said above had win7 on it [17:28] i come back later [17:28] TheGrey, but understanding Unix is definitely handy [17:28] take care [17:28] leforce, ah okay so there are several things that could be causing the issue here. (1) make sure your BIOS is set to AHCI mode (not IDE) [17:28] So, I was using the dropbox app to have a dropbox sync folder, but it suddenly stopped working. The error I get when I try to run it from the command line is http://pastebin.com/3WK3dM3R. Thoughts? [17:28] I really rely on dropbox... [17:30] kow, alright I have tryed that but I am currently on IDE. To make things clear, this is my problem http://i.imgur.com/3XJSrIx.png [17:30] Ziber, don't rely on 3rd party cloud services too much, check out owncloud as a DIY alternative to DB [17:30] leforce, just one hard drive in the computer? [17:30] kow, the thing is that i can acess the SSD now since I am running from a USB [17:30] hm... okay. I've yet to have any problems with it until like three days ago. [17:30] kow, only one [17:31] is it okay to install linux (the root filesystem) on the laptop 24gb ssd cache partition? [17:31] Ziber, http://geekswithblogs.net/jkhines/archive/2012/12/25/dropbox-fails-with-oserror-errno-8-exec-format-error.aspx [17:31] leforce, well in that image the installation "sees" your SSD - you just have to either click "Install Now" or "New Partition Table" - I recommend Install Now [17:32] Hm, okay, I'll try that. [17:32] leforce, back to what i was saying earlier - to ensure the best compatibility with ubuntu make sure the BIOS is in AHCI mode and also make sure the SSD wasnt used in a RAID array before attempting to install ubuntu [17:32] Ziber, even if you haven't had problems, you should never come to rely on a service which could have the plug pulled at any moment, they are well within their rights to close you account (meaning you'd lose your files) at any point in time [17:32] you* [17:32] your* [17:32] I'm having video playback problems. dvd and 400p mp4 videos [17:33] kow, 'install now' give me = 'No root file system is defined. Please correct this from partitioning the menu.' [17:33] 400p? [17:33] that's a new res to me! [17:33] kow, and the 'New Partition Table' is greyed out [17:33] 480p I've heard of [17:33] it's downloaded stuff. I'll check [17:34] Narp, what problems are you having? [17:34] choppy and slow [17:34] if you want to know the full spec of the file, run mediainfo on it [17:34] Narp, what GFX card and drivers are you using? [17:34] and application too [17:34] leforce, do you have a newer laptop with UEFI? [17:34] hey all, ubuntu keeps logging off whenever i shut my laptop lid despite setting power mgmt to 'do nothing' when the lid is closed. any ideas? [17:35] UEFI + secure boot = sucky time [17:35] ati radeon 9250. it shows up as rv280 if that's a help [17:35] my setup looks like this http://i.imgur.com/c2j4Jnr.jpg so that my laptop tucks behind the monior when i work [17:35] neurochrome: thank you! [17:35] Ziber, np [17:35] kow, I'll reboot now and come back with ACHI. I am in IDE right now since I where testing. brb [17:35] kow, desktop [17:35] yeah 400p lol [17:35] Narp, are you using the propritary drivers? [17:36] Narp, well, that should play anyway [17:36] open source. i tried the prop driver but my card is too old [17:36] leforce, i'll be back in 5-10 min [17:36] it's a low-res [17:36] Narp, try playing the file in mplayer from the terminal, see if there are any errors kicked out during playback [17:37] Narp, have you tried playing these files on another machine? [17:37] hello ubuntu channel [17:37] it works fine when I run xp [17:38] question what is a solution for a turn-key type service that manages EC2 instances and snaps in ubuntu? [17:39] I see that I need a way method in which to open many accounts and migrate old accounts for backup. how can I do this seemlessly? in ubuntu of course. [17:39] should I enable bootable flag when installing ubuntu on the root filesystem partition? === administrator is now known as Guest73710 [17:40] do you have a seperate /boot partition? [17:40] if not then yes enable boot flag [17:40] jasonsmr, sudo apt-cache search EC2 returns many results, maybe one of them is useful? [17:40] on root [17:41] I ll try that thanks [17:41] if I seperate /boot is it okay to just set the boot flag for it? [17:41] Narp, FYI I think that card is poorly supported under Ubuntu [17:41] MO_Handes, ubuntu does not need a boot flag [17:41] yes [17:41] I want to separate my /var to a different partition. Here is my HDD partitions snapshot http://imgur.com/mkI6ALk. Giving 6 GBs to /var is too much, so I want to give 4 GB to var, add 1 GB to SWAP and free 1 GB to use as a /boot partition. My problem is I don't know how to delete a partition and make it swap partition. [17:41] Narp, what application are you using to play the video files? [17:42] vlc [17:42] hmmm === debsan_ is now known as debsan [17:42] have you tried it with other media players? like mplayer? [17:42] c2tarun, Just curious, why would you want a boot partition? [17:43] yeah. tried the other player [17:43] wilee-nilee, actually no particular reason, and that is something I am planning for future and not right now. Right now only separate /var [17:43] I got a illegal short term buffer state error === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard|bnc [17:44] Narp, try going into your settings and changing the option in the Video section called 'Accelerated Video Output (Overlay)' to off. See if that helps? [17:45] Narp, where are these videos? Are they downloaded or streaming? [17:45] that helped a lot. not perfect in full screen though. :) === tmclaugh[work] is now known as tmclaugh- === tmclaugh- is now known as tmclaugh[cafe] [17:46] it happens when I play a regular dvd too [17:47] Narp, yeah, your card isn't very good at hw accelerated playback, so your CPU will be working hard in its place. [17:47] Is this a low powered pc? [17:47] it's a lot better. can't complain. watchable if not full screen. it's a pentium 3 HT 1gb ram [17:48] kow, you there_ [17:48] Narp, ah... old-school! ;) [17:48] yeah. it's good for surfing. just not games xD [17:48] Narp, well, you could get a different GFX card, or you could just ride it out till you upgrade [17:48] also, what distro are your using? [17:48] leforce, yep [17:49] Ubuntu proper? [17:49] with Unity? [17:49] linux lite. it's based on ubuntu [17:49] What DE? [17:49] xfce [17:49] I've been around a while and *never* heard of it! [17:49] y u no xubuntu? [17:49] kow, I am suppose to be in ACHI now. any way to confirm that [17:49] leforce, yes [17:50] linux lite comes with fewer things pre installed. i wanted a lite distro [17:50] Narp, fair enough! [17:51] leforce, so you are booting a liveusb version of ubuntu do i have this right? === t_kjaergaard|bnc is now known as t_kjaergaard [17:51] kow, yes [17:51] Narp, you can use a net install (mini cd) in the future of ubuntu and get a lighter setup [17:51] ok. i'll try that sometime [17:52] leforce, open up "Terminal" and type in "sudo blkid" and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com i want to get a good idea of your computer's hard drive situation [17:53] in /etc/fstab file what is difference between adding UUID and adding partition name like /dev/sda3? [17:53] c2tarun, UUID's are unique - /dev/sdX is not [17:54] guys , how to get airmon,aireply,,,,,,and all those stuff for ubuntu 12.4 LTS ? [17:54] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623046/ [17:54] any idea on starting the ubuntu installation from a live session? [17:54] Kow, what do you mean by /dev/sdX is not unique? Are you saying that you have two /dev/sda3 partitions in your HDD? [17:54] c2tarun, if you use the partition /dev/sda3 you will be able to resize the partition and boot in without a reload of grub, which is sometimes needed if you move the front part of the partition. [17:55] c2tarun, no im saying if you happen to take your hard drive out and put it in a different computer, this different computer may assign that partition /dev/sdc1 instead of /dev/sda1 [17:55] c2tarun: No. But think of sdb1 for a usb thumb drive. Change the thumb drive, plug in another - et voila, sdb1 is there, with a different drive. [17:55] I just upgraded from ubuntu10 to ubuntu12. My sound card is not working. When I go to System Settings>Sound (Outupt Tab), the box "play sound through" is empty. I think my sound card should be listed there. What do I do? [17:55] c2tarun, but the UUID would still be the same [17:55] bekks, Kow :) ohh.. .yes thanks [17:56] maestrojed: From which Ubuntu - 10.04/10.10 - to which Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 ? [17:56] leforce, so /dev/sda is your SSD - do you care about the data on it? [17:56] wilee-nilee, actually I am planning to delete /dev/sda2 and then create 3 GB for swap, 4GB for /var and 1 GB spare. [17:56] kow, not at all [17:56] bekks to 12.04. Not positive but I would assume from 10.04 [17:57] leforce, okay so start the installation process - do you want to do manual partitioning or do you want ubuntu to do it for you? [17:57] c2tarun, be careful when deleting partitions rather then just changing the format the partitions can change numbers when deleting. [17:57] wilee-nilee, okay, you are right, but what harm can they make? [17:58] kow, I don't have any need for more then one partition so ubuntu can do that [17:58] c2tarun: They could get deleted and overwritten. [17:58] c2tarun, if you are willing to take my word on it - trust me and just use UUID :) [17:58] Kow, yup, I'll definetly do that. [17:59] I am going to give this a try (FYI) http://askubuntu.com/questions/170955/sound-settings-panel-empty-on-12-04 [17:59] c2tarun, no real harm but you want your partitions to run from lowest numbers to highest going from front to back of the HD, in other words left to right looking at the HD with gparted. === newbie is now known as Guest67681 [17:59] leforce, okay fire up the installer [18:00] kow, got it, i'll install on swedish if you don't mind [18:00] leforce, yea whatever language you want - however i dont know swedish :) [18:01] here is what I have come up with, I'll remove swap entry from /etc/fstab and then reboot. Then I'll delete /dev/sda2 and create 3 new extended partitions there. Then I'll mount one to /var2 and rsync -a /var and /var2 then I'll add an entry to /etc/fstab. Also I'll format one 3GB partition with linux-swap format and then add an entry for it to /etc/fstab then reboot. Is it ok? [18:01] kow, still the same error 'No root ..... ' === ericab_away is now known as ericab [18:02] leforce, okay i'll just guide you through manual partitioning [18:02] c2tarun, Are you doing this cause your HD is getting full? [18:02] leforce, click new partition table [18:02] sorry i was awf still having problems with reinstalling hp. Keep getting errors on my usb [18:02] Hey just installed xubuntu1204, what to do now? [18:02] wilee-nilee, no, actually I sometimes switch between different flavors of Ubuntu and Mint. Having a separate /var is certainly going to help me in saving some of my bandwidth. [18:03] kow, that is greyd out [18:03] c2tarun, Ah I see. [18:03] wilee-nilee, are my steps fine? [18:04] leforce, exit out of the installer, go back to the Terminal and type "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" [18:04] i need a lightweight music player like mp3blaster, any suggestions ? [18:04] c2tarun, not sure really. [18:05] kow, 'Command (m for help)' [18:05] leforce, put in 'p' and paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com [18:06] get dbus utilization error from hp-toolbox [18:06] Why can't I create a 3 TB partiion on my 3 tb harddisk? [18:06] it tells me that the partiion is outside of the disk [18:07] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623087/ [18:07] leforce, okay so before i have you do this, just to make sure, your SSD is 60GB correct? [18:07] kow, yes [18:07] AlexPortable: Because a MSDOS lkabel cant contain a partition > 2TB. You have to use GPT. [18:07] leforce, and you absolutely do not care about the data on it? [18:08] AlexPortable: Which tool do you use to create create your partition? [18:08] bekks: what is GPT? [18:08] kow, not at all [18:08] disk partition or something [18:08] it's under system > utilities [18:08] 32.532533] type=1400 audit(1363534612.071:8): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" name="/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf" pid=1049 comm="apparmor_parser" [18:08] [ 32.533053] type=1400 audit(1363534612.071:9): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" name="/usr/sbin/cupsd" pid=1049 comm="apparmor_parser" [18:08] + [18:08] I have a few Ubuntu laptops and a Windows 7 desktop hooked up to a network using Samba. When playing movies stored on another computer the movie player sometimes hangs and the process can't be killed. I have to reboot to be able to play movies on the network again. What could the problem be? [18:08] leforce, in that terminal type 'o' and press enter [18:09] AlexPortable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [18:09] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623095/ [18:10] leforce, 'p' and paste.ubuntu.com [18:10] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623103/ [18:11] leforce, 'w' and then reboot your computer using the USB again [18:11] is there anybody who could help with my issue with hplip? [18:12] Ralph_: Just ask, dont ask to ask. [18:12] kow, the SSD is mounted, should I unmount? [18:12] ActionParsnip: i'm back. I had the issue with the headphone jack, your solution didn't work for me. [18:12] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623106/ [18:13] asking having problems with hplip it won't install scanner [18:14] hallo [18:14] !details > Ralph_ [18:14] Ralph_, please see my private message [18:14] !details > yoda83x [18:14] yoda83x, please see my private message [18:15] leforce, no thats why im having you reboot [18:15] i am new here [18:15] kow, ok just making sure everything is ok [18:15] kow, brb then [18:17] Where are unity's logs? [18:17] Does it keep any sorts of error logs at all [18:18] any idea on starting the ubuntu installation from a live session? [18:19] I have ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I can't get my xsane to use my hp officejet600 [18:19] kow, im back [18:20] leforce, okay so start the installation process and give me a play-by-play screenshot please :) === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard|bnc [18:20] kow, I'll go for english then [18:21] Ralph, whats the exact problem? === An_Ony_Moose is now known as Mouse|AFK [18:21] I've got two terminals open. I'd like to share the history instantaneously between the two terminals -- ie if I typed a command in one terminal and then typed history in the other terminal, the command would show as the last command. Is this possible? [18:22] hilton [18:22] I have tried a few things but still get my sound card working after upgrading from Ubuntu10 to Untun12.04. The "Play Sound Through" box in sound settings is empty. I think my sound card should be listed there. Can anyone help? [18:22] I can see its dead in here right now [18:23] kevdog: What you want isnt possible. [18:23] i have no web server installed but i need to redirect all http requests to domain.com to https://domain.com:port, how can I do this? [18:23] bekks: false. anything is possible. what he wants isn't _currently_ possible :P [18:24] I found this and tried this. Step 2, the purge command does't exist in 12.04. http://askubuntu.com/questions/170955/sound-settings-panel-empty-on-12-04 It felt like a good lead as I had installed an Pulse Audio Equalizer in Ubuntu10. Maybe I added a this repo [18:24] stan_man_can: "isnt possible" != "isnt possible ever". So whatever. [18:24] bekks: well that's frustrating!! Any way then to lets say merge the two histories, so that one terminal logs out and then the other -- the two histories are merged -- the duplicates are removed as well as white space [18:26] kevdog: Yes. But thats how history handling is implemented, in you shell. You have to recode/patch that, if you want it to behave differently. [18:26] I am trying to get hp-install to work and when i run hp-query officejet it is not found === t_kjaergaard|bnc is now known as t_kjaergaard [18:26] kow, the screenshot program seems to have frozen or something [18:26] leforce, hrm okay [18:27] leforce, which ubuntu version are you installing - 12.04 or 12.10? [18:27] bekks: I can't tell you how many times I have like 5 terminals open -- a bunch of commands on each terminal -- I reboot computer and then restart the terminals -- the history command is blank. It doesn't happen all the time -- but enough its super annoying [18:27] kow, 12.04 === Mouse|AFK is now known as An_Ony_Moose [18:27] kevdog: Again: thats how history handling is implemented, in you shell. You have to recode/patch that, if you want it to behave differently. [18:27] kow, any way to force quit a prorgram? [18:28] bekks: you ain't giving me much to work with here [18:28] leforce, is there a window you can click the "X"? [18:28] leforce - kill or killall command? [18:29] kow, nothing [18:29] kevdog: BEcause there is nothing "to work with". If you want to change that behaviour, get the source code of your shell, and create a patch, so your shell will behave differently after reinstalling your patched version. [18:29] leforce, is the installer window still ok? === brandon is now known as Guest11960 [18:30] kow, it's the same [18:31] Hello.I've this weird problem.The wifi symbol on top panel disappears after certain time.How should I fix that? [18:31] leforce, in the installer window - let me know when you get to this screen: http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/12-04int/ubuntu3.png [18:32] kow, never got there [18:32] leforce, how about http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/12-04int/ubuntu2.png [18:32] kow, that one is fine [18:33] leforce, so when you click next you get to the screen that has the "New Partition Table" button in it? [18:33] kow, yes but greyed-out [18:33] wilee-nilee, it worked :) [18:34] leforce, is the add button greyed out as well? === Kitar|st_ is now known as Kitar|st [18:34] c2tarun, cool, I was a bit concerned with your 3 extended reference only one extended can be made. I assumed you meant the logicals within a extended. [18:35] wilee-nilee, yup [18:35] kow, yes [18:35] kow, http://i.imgur.com/DGIJaaJ.png [18:36] leforce, so it does not let you select "New Partition Table" or "Add" - i cant tell but those buttons do not look greyed out to my eyes [18:37] hello there, [18:37] kew, they truly are greyed out [18:38] kew, the error form "install now" http://i.imgur.com/5OBvAKk.png [18:39] leforce: i recommend you partition your drive using gparted [18:39] i was trying to install windows 8 and 12.10 alongside, the ubuntu 12.10 was successful but couldnot boot into the windows 8. but when i did a boot-repair i cannot see neither ubuntu or windows option in bios menu (F12) [18:39] leforce, what computer do you have? i am wondering if it has Intel Smart Response [18:40] kow, unallocated [18:40] Is there any easy way to increase the size of the /tmp directory [18:40] it is a dell inspiron 15r with windows 8 preinstalled [18:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623165/ [18:40] leforce, screenshot of this "unallocated" please :) [18:40] kew, recommended filesystem?

[18:44] leforce, create a linux swap partition at the end of the drive if possible - 2GB [18:44] leforce, and then create an ext4 filesystem to cover the remaining space [18:45] I usually have a separate home partition so its protected in between upgrades [18:46] kow, which one should be primary? [18:46] primary vs extended partition? [18:46] kevdog, yea [18:47] leforce, ext4 [18:47] you can only have 4 primary partitions, if you need more, you need to create an extended partition and then stick the extra partitions within that [18:47] I am pretty sure my issue is that pulse audio is not install or not working. But I am not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions [18:48] pavucontrol? [18:48] kow, all good? http://i.imgur.com/ZJncHzI.png [18:49] Hello. I want to run hamachi on start-up on Lubuntu.

I don't think my sound card is being recognized or used [18:49] to the file /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart [18:49] but it doesn't seem to be correct [18:50] lshw -- is the sound card listed?

[18:52] Maybe I'm smoking crack but I thought I had a long time ago something like this installed [18:52] kevdog I am looking through this, One sec. I don't think I see it but I want to make sure === An_Ony_Moose is now known as Mouse|AFK [18:53] running pdf-viewer in wine. it crashes everything i save changes to a pdf. how do i found out why?

What happens when you shut down the system and there are applications that are open? Are they shut down correctly, exactly as if you clicked the X button to close the window? [18:58] leforce, is that a new SSD? === yo is now known as Guest9499 [18:58] kevdog In my google research I found multiple people talk about stuff like http://askubuntu.com/questions/170955/sound-settings-panel-empty-on-12-04 [18:58] kow, nope, it has been used in the very same machine before but with windows 7 [18:59] nullucas: those processes get a signal to shutdown gracefully, if they ignore that, they will be killed after some time [18:59] kevdog which didn't work for me, but I had installed pulse audio stuff before. So it felt related [18:59] leforce, from terminal do "sudo apt-get install smartmontools" === loffa|away is now known as loffa [19:00] I downloaded "PulseAudion Volume Control" from the Software center. Just to test with, Its says "Connection to PulseAudio failed" [19:01] hi [19:01] kow, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/349469 [19:01] Launchpad bug 349469 in debconf (Ubuntu) "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [Medium,Triaged] [19:01] my computer sometimes crashes completely (i need to hard reset it) if there's too much loading in a browser (flash, images, ads) or if i torrent [19:02] happens 9/10 times i torrent ANYTHING [19:02] how to setup network internet card in ubuntu server 12.04 [19:02] it has to do with my network settings or the wifi adapter [19:02] I installed a new system, the user I set up was scooby, I then, as scooby created a user jpmh with admin privs (at least that's what the systen said), I then signed on a jpmh and sure enough was able to get to change scooby's settings to be "desktop". All looked good. Yet, scooby remained in sudoers and jpmh did not get there - any ideas [19:02] leforce, try this from terminal: "sudo smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda" [19:03] param: what kind of card? [19:03] kow, "Device does not support Selective Self Tests/Logging" [19:04] jpmh: "sudo adduser jpmh sudo" [19:04] i am unable to connect ubuntu server to internet [19:04] llutz, is that like saying "try to close the window with the x button, and if it doesn't close just kill it"? I'm asking because I'm afraid a program will shut down immediately without waiting for it to save data or do something else. Closing it with the X button would be ok, but making it shut down by ubuntu I'm not sure [19:04] nullucas: basically its like that, yes [19:04] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623245/ [19:05] llutz, ok, thanks [19:06] running pdf-viewer in wine. it crashes everytime i save changes to a pdf. how do i found out why? [19:08] why u run a pdf-viewer in wine. there is a bunch of native programms for linux [19:08] probably because not many native options manage to do the "save changes" part at all === Mishke is now known as Guest61119 [19:09] hmm im having problems getting the catalyst drivers to work properly. when i install fglrx ati drivers i lose my unity and panel [19:10] leforce, can you paste.ubuntu.com 'dmesg' [19:10] but to answer you question, you should search for a logfile in your home directory in the winefolder (wich is maybe hidden and you can make it visible with a option filemanager) [19:11] kow, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5623265/ [19:11] with a option in your filemanager [19:12] leforce, well i wish i had good news but it definitely looks like there is a hardware problem [19:12] in the ubuntu standart filebrowser you can make hidden directories an files visible by hitting the keys ctrl-h [19:12] kow, as far as I have experienced this disk works as storage but have some problem multitasking [19:13] leforce, i would definitely recommend checking SATA connection and also the power supply connection to the drive [19:13] leforce, but when you ran "smartctl" the SSD said its old and is not happy (long story short) [19:14] leforce, its already been moving data around because of bad sectors [19:14] kow, port: SATA2_0 Cable: 10 cm SATA3 [19:14] 12.10 is being very difficult about using an encrypted partition created by another Linux install, and likewise the partition it creates can't be read on that other install. What the *@#& is going on with this? I can load the other partition by hand after boot but it will not do it during boot. [19:14] leforce, and your 'dmesg' is full of read/write errors to the drive [19:15] leforce, so i would do a hardware check... I would start with the drive but i would also recommend running memtest for a while [19:15] IRSteveB 12.10 is being very difficult in general :) [19:15] Well yeh tunnelguy but this particular problem is a bottleneck at the moment :) [19:15] kow, can I do that from the usb? [19:16] IRSteveB: what kind of encrypted partition? luks/dm-crypt? [19:16] leforce, yea i believe you should be able to run memtest from it [19:16] leforce, but you have to boot to memtest - you cant do it from the ubuntu livesession [19:16] IRSteveB I had considered doing encryption once but decided it wasnt worth the effort so i cant help you... [19:16] leforce, http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ppkup.png [19:16] Tried it both ways jelly-home - the old partition is standard dm-crypt which Ubuntu won't read (automatically). I also had Ubuntu format another partition as LUKS and the old system can't read that at all. [19:17] Old system can't read as in it gets weird ioctl errors when I try [19:17] IRSteveB: which version of cryptsetup is installed? [19:17] kow, don't have that option. It just boots into install process where I can choose "Install" or "Try live" [19:17] cryptsetup 1.4.3 on Ubuntu, 1.6.0 on other system [19:17] leforce, "You need to boot from live CD or USB. Press and hold any key while your computer is booting." [19:18] that will bring up the menu, which is otherwise bypassed [19:18] kow, just hold any key ? [19:19] Ok let me try a radically different angle... If I say 'to hell with this' and put on 11.10 instead of 12.10, then upgrade the kernel... what version will that get me? [19:19] where is the anykey? [19:20] leforce, yea but i like the esc key :) [19:20] yoda83x, .. [19:20] kow, hm.. can't install any program "Package operation failed" [19:20] IRSteveB, 11.10 is end of life it will be a hassle [19:21] wilee-nilee: 12.10 is such a hassle it's unusable [19:21] leforce, yea you definitely need to run memtest then - those sporadic errors are telling me some piece of hardware is not happy [19:21] is there any way to download youtube videos with ubuntu 12.04 lts [19:22] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04.2 with kde 4.8.5 and I am interested in GUIs developed with java.swing. I don't quite like the default appereance of widgets and I found it can be changed with a method of the UIManager class. When I change this look and feel I am unable to move the window of my application, does anybody have a clue on why this happens? Thank you [19:22] kow, alright Thanks for the help, I'll see what I can do [19:22] hey folks how can i reset my sound driver? [19:22] stupidBYdefault, video download helper a FF addon works well. [19:22] My soundcard in my notebook works independent of my headphones, that means, my loudspeakers run all the time except i'm using another soundcard. when i stick my headphones in then my loudspeakers don't mute but still run further. does anyone have an idea for me? [19:22] how to connect ubuntu server cloud image 12.04 to wi fi ? [19:23] so.. how do i install this FF addon and what is FF? [19:23] leforce, good luck :) [19:23] Yesterday I installed Ardour and I updated my ALSA driver to try and set up a MIDI interface but now everything is fucked and my sound isn't working at all [19:23] stupidBYdefault, Firefox [19:24] aa.. tnx! [19:24] Maybe I should just shoehorn in a boot script to load my other partition directly and ignore crypttab and fstab. Then I could get on to the next hassle - eradicating nouveau... [19:24] rjeletto: do you remember what you did before you've shutdown your pc? [19:25] veryhappy: nothing out of the ordinary [19:25] it' strange because the sound didn't die when i updated ALSA [19:25] kow, did some fast google and seems like the firmware is pretty much shit. But there is some kind of replacement using another firmware that is NOT by Corsiar [19:25] when I go to task manager, it says that 1.7 GB of memory are used. But if I sum the memory of the processes, it is less. Any thoughts? [19:25] stupidBYdefault: You can use youtube-dl [19:26] it was only after i tried to open an ardour project (which failed, but we'll go one step at a time here) that the sound stopped working [19:26] minas: Whats the output of "free -m" then? USe a pastebin please. [19:26] stupidBYdefault: It's a command line program. [19:26] bekks, ok [19:26] rjeletto: sounds strange, perhaps that was something that lasted until you've shutdown [19:26] minas, have you taken cache in to consideration? some memory is used for cache, but some times still refered to as "free" [19:26] i've rebooted a few times and nothing's worked [19:27] llutz: ty - I know how to fix it - my question remains, why did it happen? [19:27] and ALSA mixer won't open for me so i'm not even sure what to do [19:27] how to connect ubuntu server cloud image 12.04 to wi fi ? [19:27] Not really #ubuntu but I'm running gparted on my USB (14.9GB) which has a nuked partition table and possibly some physical problems. How long should gparted's attempt to recover all data take? [19:27] also i've done full shutdowns and still no sound [19:27] When I installed ubuntu 12.04 dt on my lappy I see that an efi install goes smoothly when dong a default install. Now I want to do an efi install of the same on my desktop machine. The difference is, there are 3 disks on that system and I'll be raiding with mdadm and creating logical volumes on the raid with lvm2. When I tried to do an efi install on the machine about 6 mos ago i failed several times and ended up installing what I have now [19:27] (non efi). Can someone please advise on doing a successfull efi install of 12.04 dt under these conditions on that desktop machine? [19:27] bekks, here is free -m: http://pastebin.com/6pYrq2bz [19:27] rjeletto: can you please try dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base alsa-utils?

[19:28] i am running cloud on my same machine [19:28] veryhappy: ran it in term and got no output [19:28] minas: Actually, you have about 2GB free RAM. [19:28] should i reboot and see what happens? [19:28] rjeletto: no, try if alsamixer already shows up [19:29] bekks, I know. the problem is that the sum of the processes memory is less [19:29] param: There is no need to contact me outside this channel. [19:29] ok bekks [19:30] minas: Less than what? 3.8GB-2GB=1.8GB roundabout. Thats whats used by your processes. [19:30] bekks, the sum of the processes memory is less that 1.8 GB [19:30] minas: Then you summed up something else. :) [19:30] bekks : do you gonna look into my problem ? [19:31] bekks, well I summed "memory" column from "monitor" program [19:31] minas: Dont trust that application. Use "free -m" and "ps". :) [19:31] I'll try ps [19:32] param: Just to get you right: You are running a cloud server image natively (not in a vm) on your host, at home? [19:32] bekks, do you know the option for ps to show memory used? [19:32] word, so no alsamixer [19:32] rjeletto: sounds as if you don't have alsamixer installed anymore of the system can't find alsamixer anymore [19:32] i m running cloud server image on my VM [19:32] minas: alsmost every option show the memory usage. [19:33] i have setup a cloud using openstack [19:33] param: Do you use virtualbox then? [19:33] bekks, I guess I am unlucky, I tried ps ax :p [19:33] and using that cloud using ssh from my ubuntu terminal [19:33] minas: use ps -ef e.g. [19:33] no i dont have [19:33] rjeletto: but perhaps we're thinking in the wrong direction, perhaps he just doesn't find any sound device?

[19:34] i'm not sure, my sound settings are regitsering a dummy output [19:34] i'm not getting anything through speakers or headphones [19:34] param: qemu doesnt virtualize at all, it emulates. [19:34] yes, [19:34] i dont need virtualization [19:34] I just wanted to use alsamixer to get in a little deeper and check [19:35] param: Then dont tell us you do use it :) [19:35] openstack does everything for me [19:35] bekks, that doesn't show memory usage - ps ux worked [19:35] what i didnt got you [19:35] rjeletto: i'm sorry i can't really help you in that way, i can only suggest you to check out your logs: boot log and other logs while startup of your pc perhaps there the error shows up [19:35] how to change a fat32 formatted usb drive label? [19:35] i need to set up network internet card so that it connects to internet [19:35] ok i'll check it out [19:36] param: You said you are using a vm - you arent, since you arent using virtualization, but qemu. [19:36] thanks a bunch veryhappy! [19:36] much appreciated, have a nice day! [19:36] MO_Handes, Gparted can set a label [19:36] but its a virtual machine , that i setup using openstack , so its just a vm or you can call instance [19:37] param: It is an emulated stack, it is no virtual machine. Just to get the terms right. [19:38] ok bekks : [19:38] so whats the solution to my problem [19:39] running pdf-viewer in wine. it crashes everytime i save changes to a pdf. how do i found out why?

I have two sources for LIbreOffice with the same priority (500) and don't know how to put one first [19:40] Sach: i think there is a wine channel [19:40] Sach: look at: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/x258 point 3.5.1 [19:40] Hey. Looking for graphics support for Intel's GMA 3650 graphics accelerator. [19:41] Anyone know the latest status? [19:41] I've seen this, from June 2012. Anything newer? http://daily.siebler.eu/2012/06/ubuntu-12-04-driver-for-intel-cedarview-atom-n2000-und-d2000-serie/ === Mouse|AFK is now known as An_Ony_Moose [19:41] Sach: and with new informations go to any wine channel, I think, there is more help available than in this channel [19:42] Gromit: thanks! [19:42] Also, what does it mean for a 64-bit version of the distro to come with a "PAE kernel"? Thought that only applied to 32-bit kernels... [19:42] what does it mean if a partion's mount point shows up as "/boot/efi"? I know what efi is. What I'm asking is - is that a partition inside a partition? Is it a directory inside the /boot partition? And, at what level of that is the file system formatting at? [19:44] what I'm getting at is - if I had to manually create /boot/efi on a machine, how would I do it properly? [19:44] I have no web server installed, just a VPN service, how can I redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS ? [19:44] Not really #ubuntu but I'm running gparted on my USB (14.9GB) which has a nuked partition table and possibly some physical problems. How long should gparted's attempt to recover all data take? In other words, when should I give up? [19:45] #ubuntu can someone help me? i installed ubntu and it keeps saying ubuntu had an internal error or something like this [19:45] JohnyR1998: When that pops up, can you click "details"? [19:46] JohnyR1998: Also, is this ubuntu running on its own, or in a virtual machine / under Windows etc? [19:46] #ubuntu yes, it does [19:46] who [19:47] and, i downloaded the version that runs installed on windows [19:47] JohnyR1998: What are the details of the error? [19:47] but no virtual machine [19:47] and i forgot to take them out of the details [19:47] JohnyR1998: Ah, so is the error message from Windows saying that the program Ubuntu had an error, or is this an Ubuntu error message? [19:47] i'll explain [19:48] when extending a partition of the hard drive, can the partition be extended to the "left" or only to the right? [19:48] Can I install a 32-bit video driver in a 64-bit version of the OS? [19:48] help [19:48] hey johny [19:48] Will apt let me do that? [19:48] exit [19:48] i downloaded the verson that installs ubuntu right from the windows desktop [19:49] and i installed and when it rebooted it entered ubuntu [19:49] what is the name of the ubuntu devleoper channel exactly? [19:49] but everytime i did anything, it said ubuntu has an internal error or something [19:49] ans this is what happened [19:50] does anyone know what to do? [19:50] minas: The last time I extended a partition (with gparted I think?), the way it did it was to move it left and then extend it right [19:50] JohnyR1998, Wubi help is rather sparse here, I would try the ubuntu forums for best help as well. [19:50] well there has to be a place for more technical questions for ubuntu isn't there? [19:50] ClientAlive: I think its #ubuntu-devel [19:50] minas: That happened automatically without me having to tell it to first move and then extend - I just told it to extend into all that space. But it gave me a dialogue warning telling me that it was moving it left [19:50] good grief! [19:50] thank you [19:51] oh so, no help here? :c [19:51] Whatever. These live USB "installs" are great 'cuz I can just TRY stuff and reinstall the USB stick if it breaks everything... [19:51] MoPac, will grub get messed? [19:51] JohnyR1998, Most of us dual boot with installs to partitions wubi is just a try out mode. [19:51] JohnyR1998: I don't know about the Windows installer much at all. But I think if you want to get specific help for this, you're going to need to give the details of the error and not just say that it "has an internal error or something" [19:52] minas: probably a good idea to sudo update-grub after messing with partitions [19:52] minas: But the partition I extended/moved was my dedicated ubuntu boot partition, and I had no problems [19:52] MoPac, but I can't do it within ubuntu - i must use a boot usb [19:53] ok i will get the error report and tomorrow ill bring the details [19:53] MoPac, so there won't be update-grub until I log in [19:53] minas: you can update grub on your main system from a live usb. One sec; I'll get you a link [19:53] thanks for the help guys [19:54] just pedegg'd both feet ,,,, have about 5ounces of skin powder ready to be "released" into the wind [19:54] Hi [19:54] minas: Check out the extended guide here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels . This is mostly about updating the kernel when you can't get into Ubuntu, but the mapping and binding part works to tell your live USB session to do things to your main system [19:55] minas: one word of caution: if you're using LUKS disk encryption, you might need to do a bit extra here [19:55] Is there an ubuntu distro that works with new catalyst drivers on a radeon 6670? [19:55] I am seeking info on how to turn off the Terminal exit "confirmation box" in 12.04 Unity . [19:55] MoPac, I am not. thanks a lot [19:56] MoPac, I need to get space back that windos was using :) [19:56] I am installed windows in my computer can create a live linux partition i am installed windows c:\ and want linux in D:\ can i do this [19:57] minas: no problem [19:57] I'm looking for help with elevating the priority of a package source re: apt-cache policy. Any support would be appreciated [19:57] How can I tell which video driver I'm using? [19:57] Antar, using drive letters is incorrect in linux as well it does not tell us whether D is a whole other HD. [19:57] Antar: yes [19:58] wilee-nilee i know [19:58] Antar: Are you trying just to have both Windows and Ubuntu on your computer, or are you trying to read the Ubuntu files WHILE you are using Windows? [19:58] but i am now talking in windows not linux [19:59] !dualboot | Antar [19:59] Antar: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [19:59] i am trying to have both windows and ubuntu [19:59] k1l: If the issue is that he's trying to mount the Ubuntu filesystem, then this may be an ext driver issue rather than dual boot issue [20:00] Antar: In that case, the links above are where to look [20:00] MoPac: i think he is thinking about to install it [20:00] how I feel about ubuntu http://bit.ly/ddNy6G [20:00] MoPac Thank you very much my friend :) [20:00] Can someone help me to install Java in Ubuntu 12.10 [20:01] k1l: technically it was trololololinks :) [20:01] Seveas: im sorry i was not 100% correct on that one :) [20:01] Antar, dual booting is rather easy once you understand the limitations of partition types as far as the number of, I have 5 OS's on my HD. [20:02] I see "lshw -c video" can show me the loaded graphics driver. [20:02] But shows me...no driver. [20:02] arne_: go in Synaptic , type java and choose the sun oracle or the Open package [20:02] lshw says "configuration: latency=0" with no driver given... [20:03] And, again, is it possible to load a 32-bit driver in a 64-bit OS, since only the 32-bit "Cedarview" GMA 3650 driver seems to exist? [20:03] useless [20:04] arne_, you can install java 7 or 8 if you want http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [20:04] Crown, you can try lessing around /var/log/Xorg.n.log, but that's not very efficient or fun [20:04] CrownWheel, install mesa-utils , then run glxinfo | grep OpenGL , in the console [20:05] CrownWheel, the version string is your driver [20:06] arne_, this link might be helpful. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [20:06] Anyone know whether switching from 12.10 64-bit to 12.10 32-bit is very likely to make Catalyst drivers work on a 6XXX series radeon? [20:07] pregier: It's unlikely the same driver compiled for a different architecture is going to make a difference. What problem are you having with the driver in the first place? [20:08] arne_, sory that link was for another nick, my bad [20:09] shame on you guys for kicking terabit [20:09] hi [20:09] shame i tell you [20:09] I NEED HELP [20:09] adamk: Unity won't load if I select any AMD driver sources in gnome-control-center; can't find any string matches for fglrx or catalyst anywhere in /lib/modules after installing the fglrx-* packages; fglrx-installer is not available at all via apt-get or apt-cache. [20:09] this is my probel with ubuntu: http://bit.ly/ddNy6G [20:09] lol [20:10] actually, it's compiz that won't load, I think, but it's the same overall effect [20:10] I have to kill compiz and unity and launch stumpwm to switch back to "radeon" drivers [20:10] I have an issue with a 4TB drive connected via external USB2SATA adapter. The drive is only detected as 1.8TB as can be seen at http://pastebin.com/BbStMYKG - any idea on how to solve? Lubuntu 12.10 with Kernel 3.5.0-26; more recent kernels have the ame issue. [20:10] pregier: Start by pastebin'ing your /var/log/Xorg.0.log from when you attempt to use the catalyst driver so we can see what's going on. [20:12] meh, I just wanted to know if there was an obvious choice for ati/ubuntu. If not, I won't waste anyone's time further; thanks for the info [20:12] Well, for what it's worth, fglrx has worked here with Ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit in the past. [20:12] Oh, he left. Guess he really didn't want to get it working. [20:13] Any idea on the HDD issue above? [20:14] Hey--could use some help getting sublime to work when SSHing into a remote server (I can generally open files with the subl command). Totally new to Ubuntu and whatnot--if nothing else, a little vocabulary help so I can make a smarter Google search would be great. A little nervous about messing with sys files and whatnot; last time I messed up my computer pretty badly. [20:14] BenBE it is a really complex one [20:15] you should propably ask some kernel guys for that [20:15] tijs: Well, Only that the Hitachi 7K400 (4TB) drive is only detected as 1.8TB by the kernel, see dmesg log at http://pastebin.com/BbStMYKG [20:15] yeah I looked [20:15] tijs: Any recommendations for any good(tm) kernel guys? [20:16] ok people, i'm trying to boot usb keys of ubuntu 12.04 and kubuntu 12.04 in a sony vaio VPCEB3M1E/BQ [20:16] it takes many minutes [20:16] But I'm not really into the kernel stuff [20:16] to run the live [20:16] why? [20:16] sorry for that [20:16] some kind of uefi? [20:16] Does it work on windows or other OS bdw? [20:16] hello I try to have skype on lubuntu 12,04, but there my mic is not recognized [20:17] BenBE - is the drive setup to accommodate a gpt partition? [20:17] BluesKaj, Thanks. I'll try mesa-utils. As for the version string...the output of "lshw -c video" should contain the driver name in the "configuration" line. But it doesn't. It just says "latency=0". I think it's using a generic VGA driver. [20:18] astran [20:18] yes [20:18] what do you see when you open sound>input in system preferences [20:18] lshw doesn't always wotj for drivers , it's a hardware query, CrownWheel [20:18] err work [20:18] ah. [20:19] tijs: Not tested on Win7 yet. [20:19] does gltestperf come with the Mesa utils? [20:19] Audio intern stereo digital iec958 [20:19] jacer: Originally came with MSDOS Partition table, but asked GParted to write a GPT one. [20:20] it's on maximum but the mic line doesn4t move [20:20] Thanks :) [20:20] BenBE, anything over 2 terabytes is gpt [20:20] Can someone help me out? [20:20] Because, It might not be a misconfigured driver, so I recommend to try that. If this also not works than you dont have to go into the driver issue mess. Those problems are hard. [20:21] Cyanite_: No one can help you if you don't say what your problem is. [20:21] BenBE this may be dated information, but my understanding is you can't have an MBR on a GPT partition. So if you're installing your bootloader onto the 4TB drive it will not format it as GPT. [20:21] wilee-nilee: msdos was what gparted originally suggested when I asked it to write a new partTbl. [20:22] which upnp server do you use? [20:22] BenBE, gparted is an app it does not suggest anything you have to know what you are doing. [20:22] jacer: Having it connected as data drive; thus MBR not interesting right now. [20:23] Sorry, I'm having issues getting Ubuntu INSTALLED. I'm trying to get 12.10 installed on my windows 7 machine on a dualboot. The issue is, when I get to the "finalizing installation" screen, I get a gpu lockup, fails to idle certain things, and it says it's switching to PBE or something but never does. If it's any help, I've had trouble doing other OS's as well. Even the windows 8 upgrade doesn't work on my machine. Specs- GTX 580, [20:23] wilee-nilee: I know; just said what the GUI defaulted to. [20:23] BenBE when you mkpart you need to flag it as GPT [20:23] wow Cyanite that sound crappy === sine is now known as Guest62735 [20:24] what machine do you have? [20:24] Cyanite_: Try to add the noacpi parameter when booting the install medium. [20:24] good one [20:25] In the UpdateManger, can you mark packages as "do not update" or "stop showing this to me" ? [20:26] CrownWheel, you can lock stuff in synaptic, which you will probably have to install if you are using the latest releases [20:27] hi, in a sony vaio, i'm in ubuntu 12.04 live, i can't mount on terminal this type of partition [20:27] /dev/sda2 * 27678720 27883519 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT [20:27] wilee-nilee, thanks. Is that a context menu option when you mark a package? [20:28] CrownWheel, I forget exactly where I'm on W8 at the moment I can't check. [20:31] Hi, any word on Tomboy Sync and Ubuntu Notes? I can't seem to get them to sync because the sync address for Ubuntu One doesn't exist any more. [20:31] some people with vaio and ubuntu? [20:32] mangdood: that sync was shut down iirc [20:32] huh. no gltestperf. Any idea what package that's in? [20:32] mangdood: they discontinued syncng tomboy with ubuntu one [20:32] theres a bunch of other new things on the horizon, they've got like sync with Nitro for ex [20:33] mangdood: http://ow.ly/j6Deh [20:34] hi, I've been gtting an intermittent problem with my netbook, seemingly at random the built-in keyboard gets ignored, it's not a loose connection problem, because it works if I switch user, any suggestions? [20:35] yeah [20:35] wtf [20:35] I guess it's a bad idea to stay out of news when using open source software :X [20:35] BluesKaj, got vendor and renderer info from glxinfo. No "driver" listed. [20:36] vendor is VMWare. Renderer is Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe [20:36] don't know what to do with that.

Worked fine under Live. Advice? [22:19] kbd works fine in BIOS. Mouse and kbd both work fine (right now) under Live, 12.04. === Sz is now known as Guest64933 [22:20] Hello [22:20] So [22:20] hello [22:20] When an update to the Linux kernel is released, does ubuntu distribute it [22:21] I wonder why the cover art plugin is disabled and has a "no etry" sign beside it? [22:21] in Rhythembox :-) [22:22] Yarg1337: not directly. They pick all the nice updates, and backport them into their own tree. A later Ubuntu release will pick up the newer kernel. [22:23] So 12.04 will always be on 3.4.0? [22:24] how to install Java on 12.10 [22:24] Anyone up for a basic mouse&keyboard question? [22:25] CrownWheel, shoot [22:25] <21WAABE4A> How can I get libquazip headers on 12.04 LTS? [22:25] what format do dvd and cd have to be in so mac and linux and windows can read it with iso burned [22:25] PengunCSC, Just installed to HD, from a Live USB stick. Now...no mouse. No kbd. They work fine under Live (as in, right now). And kbd works in the BIOS, before boot. [22:25] 21WAABE4A: Install libquazip0-dev [22:26] <21WAABE4A> It's not in the repository for 12.04 [22:26] <21WAABE4A> So I'm having difficulty finding a way. [22:26] CrownWheel - weird [22:26] I see some others had this problem, and had to install drivers. [22:26] But I'm not using anything exotic. [22:27] listen. i am trying to recover this ubuntu build. i have a bootable usb using unetbootin [22:27] CrownWheel - are they connected to a KVM?? [22:27] lsmod shows (I think) the current mouse as: psmouse [22:27] what can i do to save my partition? [22:27] no. no KVM. [22:27] to access it? [22:27] USB mouse. And a USB adapter for PS2 kbd. [22:28] Liek, this USB->kbd adapter worked on a Raspberry Pi. And it worked under Live. It should still work. [22:28] what [22:28] 21WAABE4A: Then you'll either have to find a PPA that has it, or install libquazip from source. [22:29] CrownWheel: is this a clean install or an upgrade [22:29] ? [22:29] Clean install to a newly partitioned HD. [22:30] HI, Is there a way in ubuntu or ubuntu based distros to change speed for each cores in CPU? I have AMD cpu and ATI card and graphic driver seems to control speed of each cores. I have propriety drivers from amd's website latest 13.1 but there is no option for this. In Windows i could do that cos control panel had all features. In linux control panel is striped. Hard info program shows that only 2nd core works at full speed but i want [22:30] to set all cores to full speed. Anyone can help me? [22:31] hmm. simple solution suggested on a ubuntuforums post. I did NOT try unplugging/replugging the devices after boot to try and force detection. But I did restart...and they should have been detected then. [22:31] Bailing for a minute, while I reboot and try simple workaround first. [22:31] hi , can I autohide the unity bottom panel^ [22:31] *? [22:31] <21WAABE4A> adamk: yeah, seems so. [22:32] CrownWheel: what if you unplug the mouse and plug it back in? [22:33] can anyone help me with Rhythembox plugins? [22:33] PengunCSC, which problems crate them? [22:33] some plugins are grayed out with a "no entry" sign on them [22:34] mibofra: I don't know [22:34] maybe they aren't suitable === t_kjaergaard|bnc is now known as t_kjaergaard [22:34] PengunCSC, an example of one in that conditions? [22:34] mibofra: Rhythembox 2.96 on 12.04 [22:34] mibofra: Cover Art [22:35] mibofra: Python Comsole [22:35] Hi all -- I've gotten qutie confused and frustrated with apt-preferences, and I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could help me prioitize a package origin [22:35] PengunCSC, strange [22:35] mibofra: BTW - you can AutoHide the Unity Launcger [22:36] Im getting graphics tablet on Tuesday made by Sweex. Anyone have this or similar graphics tablet working in linux? [22:36] aww...Ubuntu starts up with no ssh enabled? [22:36] (sshd, I mean) [22:36] PengunCSC, yes but I need to autohide the bottom panel, or I've to integrate an app in the global menu [22:37] CrownWheel: Not by default, no. [22:37] hello [22:37] I have two repositories for the LibreOffice package -- universe and a launchpad ppa. I want the launchpad ppa version, NOT the universe version. I have put the ppa at the top of my sources.list. I have also edited apt-preferences to say Package: libreoffice* Pin: origin "launchpad" Pin-Priority: 1001 [22:37] So far in xubuntu i can use printer/scanner , wireless gamepad and i wonder if graphics tablet will work [22:38] But it's not working: apt-cache policy STILL puts the universe package on top, and it lists *both* versions at 1001 priority and BOTH repositories at 500 priority [22:39] adamk, probably wise. But it means I can't troubleshoot my mouse-and-kbd-don't-work problem remotely. [22:39] Actually...no ping reply either. I'm not sure the network interface is up yet, before login. [22:45] I <3 Linux. [22:45] me 2 [22:45] Right now, I hate it [22:45] so far no serious issues here [22:45] I can't believe I spent SO many years hating it :( [22:45] Bloody learning curve. [22:46] hating it or haxing it [22:46] CrownWheel: Have you checked the BIOS for relevant settings (like Legacy USB support etc. [22:46] I don't mind having to learn how to change something. I mind when no one can actually tell me what to change, and online guides to making changes are either outdated or just wrong [22:46] I just fixed a major SAN problem I have been having for about a year with a simple xubuntu install :D [22:47] And a little bit of research. === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard|bnc [22:47] LoneTrooper: Hating it.. with a 't' [22:48] well thx for reminding me that === t_kjaergaard|bnc is now known as t_kjaergaard [22:53] hello, how to send bug ticket to pulseaudio? === Kow_ is now known as Kow [22:58] I could use some help getting my sound card working. It worked in Ubuntu10, I upgraded to Ubuntu12. Most research and previous help has implied pulse audio is not working properly. I was also trying to install alsa drivers for the Asus Xonar DX but the instructions are over my head and I get errors not far into the the process. === fisted_ is now known as fisted [23:03] so, I'm using xscreensaver carousel on two widescreen displays via command line. Does anyone know how I can make the circle bigger? It seems constrained to a relatively small portion of the screen no matter how many images i add to -count [23:04] hi everybody, well i have a problem, i screwd my ubuntu LTS 10.04 up and i dont know how to fix it, ok well what i did was i deleted tmp folder and now i get "Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." and cant get my ubuntu back and im going to faint if i wont be able to get it back [23:04] anyone know about running Ubuntu on a Eeepc 701 [23:05] lop, deleting your /tmp folder should be fine. Maybe just reboot [23:05] anybody?? [23:05] hey I did i get the same message all the time what to do ? ChogyDan help ?? please [23:06] i get Options: [23:06] 1. Run in low-graphics mode for just one session. [23:06] 2. Reconfigure graphics. [23:06] 3. Troubleshoot the error. [23:06] 4. Exit to console login." [23:06] lop: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:06] lop: did you try some of those options? [23:06] yes first one doesnt do anytrhing [23:06] Does anyone know how I can install a better version of ubuntu for my low memory Eeepc [23:07] 2 as well [23:07] Richturd: try xubuntu [23:07] whats xubuntu? [23:07] 3 i dont know what that means [23:07] lop: maybe take a look at your Xorg.0.log file, and see if there are any errors [23:08] !xubuntu > Richturd [23:08] Richturd, please see my private message [23:08] well how to do that ? [23:09] well i get lots of stuff but dont know how to read it [23:10] would recovery mode fix the problem ? [23:10] lop: can you pastebin it? [23:10] nope because im on different laptop right now and the other is screwed [23:10] lop: what directory exactly did you delete, and why, and how? [23:11] tmp [23:11] /tmp ? [23:11] yes [23:11] why and how [23:11] and all went blank [23:11] becasue im an idiot and it was mistake [23:11] ... and how did you delete it [23:12] rm -r [23:12] what is the protocol for getting help here? [23:13] ISSUES WITH XUBUNTU INSTALL. I installed to HD, from Live and my kbd and mouse didn't work. [23:13] Reinstalling. [23:13] lop: do you see any errors in your Xorg.0.log file? [23:13] flubab, ask your question [23:13] During install, saw this: Error opening fiel for reading...CRITICAL ... unable to create /root/.cache/dconf dconf will not work. [23:13] I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, and for some reason I can't use the laptop screen WITHOUT an external monitor [23:13] Did the monitor work during install? [23:13] So...what's up with that? Why can't it create files in a brand new root partition? [23:13] it works fine as long as I connect an additional monitor, then change display settings and apply [23:13] no, but I hoped that drivers would solve that after it was installed [23:14] Oh, sorry. I created a / partition. Root should just be a subdirectory. [23:14] hello [23:14] well not really [23:14] CrownWheel: why are you using root [23:14] flubab, Sounds to me like you have a bad display [23:14] hello ubuntu channel, anyone have experiance with server monitoring tools? Such as Nagios based Ganglia, for use in monitoring Database productivity and struggeling apps like Apache, etc. [23:15] bad in what way? [23:15] Ben64, I'm not. [23:15] It's part of the filesystem, being created at install time. [23:15] " unable to create /root/.cache/dconf " [23:15] it shouldn't be doing that at install [23:15] huh. well...that's what the Live installer is doing. [23:16] hmm, did you make the partition a weird filesystem? or using raid or something unusual? [23:16] it functions fine as the only monitor in windows 8, and it functions fine as the primary monitory in a dual monitor setup in ubuntu...it just doesn't work as the ONLY monitor in ubuntu [23:16] Im currently thinking* about comming over from a SLES_11_SP2 based environment thats basicly openSUSE [23:17] Ben64, like I say, I tried this install earlier today. Got no mouse&kbd in the new install. Now I'm paying more attention during install, I catch this error. Any clue how to avoid it? Or whether it's connected to my input device failure? [23:17] CrownWheel: did you make the partition a weird filesystem? or using raid or something unusual? [23:18] * mint_ flails [23:18] Single SSD drive. No RAID. I thought the partition scheme I used was standard. As per https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/directory-tree.html [23:18] partitions for /, /user, /home, /var, /tmp, and swap. [23:18] CrownWheel: that particular error has no relevance to input, but not being able to create files could have a lot more problems [23:18] Whats the recommended package to install gnash plugin? [23:18] Ben64, agreed. [23:19] lop: maybe you could delete your /etc/X11/xorg.cong file (ie, by changing the name) [23:20] so, like, if Vanna White was here, I'd buy a clue. I mean, what next? [23:21] CrownWheel: what version of ubuntu? [23:21] I actually set this install up to "download updates during install", hoping that the relevant package (for my generic mouse&kbd) would be re-downloaded at install time. [23:21] ChogyDan ok ill try that [23:21] 12.04. Xubuntu, actually. But it's Ubuntu at heart... [23:22] Is there an application that can wake me up if I suspend my laptop? Given leave the lid open. [23:22] CrownWheel: have you verified md5sum [23:22] yeah, I did. It checked out. [23:22] Also, I was running it Live off a USB stick for, like 2 days now. [23:23] The whole point of the exercise is to try the Cedertrail video drivers for Intel GMA3650, 'cuz they require a kernel upgrade/replacement, and can't be done under Live. === Guest7717 is now known as Haso [23:24] I feel like the clock's been turned back to 1998, where I run into unsupported video hardware and now unsupported basic input hardware. WTF, you know? I thought we were past this... [23:24] anyone remember how to select the destination folder with wget? [23:24] Haso: man wget [23:25] CrownWheel: laptops are silly === jess is now known as Guest41009 [23:25] word they are. But this is actually an Atom mini PC. Maybe sillier still... [23:25] ChogyDan: i got only xorg.conf.failsafe [23:25] Ben64: i can't find shit === Guest41009 is now known as ReinadeCorazones [23:25] Haso: don't need the language [23:26] I just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, and for some reason I can't use the laptop screen WITHOUT an external monitor; it functions fine as the only monitor in windows 8, and it functions fine as the primary monitory in a dual monitor setup in ubuntu...it just doesn't work as the ONLY monitor in ubuntu. Any ideas? [23:26] so, I'm using xscreensaver carousel on two widescreen displays via command line. Does anyone know how I can make the circle bigger? It seems constrained to a relatively small portion of the screen no matter how many images i add to -count [23:27] ChogyDan: should i change the name of that [23:27] Hello Ben64: Cleared my e326 server 8848 with (2x 73gb 10krpm scsi drives) using parted magic, after i installed ubuntu fresh, I just get a cannot display video on my screen, there's no way for me see a command line or change my vga/resolution in the bios either...kinda stuck... [23:28] Tiitus: why me? there are 1753 other people here [23:28] ha. [23:28] cause you're the only one answeing pplz questions haha [23:28] maybe crownwheel can be of some assistance :P\ [23:28] I'm just so stuck, the internet has NOTHING for me [23:28] I'd advise you to try logging in via ssh from another computer. But I'm not sure when Ubuntu kicks on its sshd. [23:29] and I gather it's not enabled by default, so you'd have to be able to log in once to enable it. [23:29] hi [23:29] I'm in exactly the same boat right now, with a new install that won't recognize my kbd&mouse... [23:30] CrownWheel: after installing it. [23:30] CrownWheel: it's not indeed enabled or installed by default. [23:31] if there are packages *-dev, *-doc how do I view the documentation after installing the *-doc package? [23:31] Jim7991: man package [23:32] CrownWheel: it might help to have a usb keyboard available [23:32] Jim7991: usually the doc stuff is man files or in /usr/share/doc [23:32] Tiitus: if you cannot see your bios or POST - that means bad hardware ; do you have another video output port? [23:32] I can see the bios, i have a internal ati xl something [23:32] its just as soon as the bios is done, it goes into ubuntu and black screen [23:32] Myrtti, thanks. [23:32] lop: so i installed 10.04 on a virtual machine [23:33] Tiitus: what haopens when you hit ctrl+alt+f1? [23:33] histo the package is libcrypto++ and there is no man page for it after installing it and it's documentation [23:33] lop: deleted the /tmp directory, and it sure breaks everything. protip - don't sudo remove things [23:33] Ben, I have an actual USB mouse available...and it's no help. I'm afraid I've got a deeper issue with that "cannot create /root/whatever/dconf" error at install. [23:33] happens* [23:33] kriskprod: 1 sec ill find out [23:33] Ben64: well i wont never again [23:33] CrownWheel: on my system theres nothing there, so that specific thing isn't the problem [23:33] Ben64: is there any hope ? [23:34] lop: i should have made a snapshot, but i'll reinstall now and see if some files can be re-created to fix it [23:35] Ben64: ill wait thank you , please help [23:35] lop: btw, you have about a month to upgrade to 12.04 or you won't get any updates anymore [23:35] hi guys [23:35] i have a problem [23:36] any can help me? [23:36] Ben64: im waiting for gnome edition [23:36] !ask [23:36] 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 [23:36] lop: already exists, its in 12.10 [23:36] Ben64, thanks for checking on that dconf file. [23:36] kriskropd: i have Ubuntu 12.04.2 [23:36] Ben64: the new one thatś coming [23:36] kriskropd: but delay to detect battery in my laptop [23:37] and delay apears wireless list in network manager [23:37] Ben64: remix [23:38] New install finished. Once again, no mouse. No keyboard. f'ing mysterious. [23:39] I even went through the "keyboard layout" detection thing in the installer this time. [23:40] I have ubuntu 12.04.2 but the battery icon is slow to recognize the battery of my laptop, where network-manager delay in showing the list of networks [23:40] CrownWheel: What !version and !flavor? [23:40] kriskropd: I tried ctrl+alt+f1,2,3,4 still nothing [23:40] SonikkuAmerica, Xubuntu. v12.04. [23:40] Although, i heard the harddrive sort of start doing something [23:40] Just tried installing to HD from Live USB. [23:40] CrownWheel: Hardware? [23:41] guys [23:41] recommend installing the 3.6.5 kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 to enhance intel hd graphics [23:42] juan_: what about for ati xl ? [23:42] juan_: running an e326 8488 [23:42] not have an ATI card [23:42] where do you see driver information in Ubuntu12. I am having issues with my sound card that I can't fix. I don't what drivers its using [23:42] only Intel HD Graphics [23:42] SonikkuAmerica, Atom D2700. [23:42] Tiitus: one of two things is happening, either your os is not getting through boot or your display is not working [23:43] Specifically, https://www.mitxpc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=EKIAD2700DCM350&cat=117 [23:43] Tiitus: recommend installing the 3.6.5 kernel in Ubuntu 12.04 to enhance intel hd graphics [23:43] CrownWheel: Did your KB and mouse work when you installed it? [23:44] Tiitus: you should try sshing in, do you have a static ip for it? you can also try pinging it [23:44] Yes. KB&mouse work under the 12.04 Live USB stick that I just installed from. [23:44] kriskropd: When I read, people were mentionning the grub not loading, not sure how i could play around with that [23:44] Just...not once I boot from my sda SSD harddrive. [23:44] kriskropd: How can i assh in if i have not even seen the first ubuntu screen [23:44] Tiitus: you would need to boot from a live cd and chroot into your system to fix grub, if that were the case [23:45] kriskropd: When I tried booting from a live cd, the same thing happens, it goes straight no cannot display video mode === mpmc|Away is now known as mpmc [23:45] Tiitus: sshing ia just a shot in the dark [23:46] CrownWheel: I would tell you to type something, but if you can't interact at all... try a different KB and mouse [23:46] Tiitus: if you cannot boot the livecd, idk what to tell you [23:46] kriskropd: I'll give it another shot and see what happens with live cd [23:46] SonikkuAmerica, see, this is what's so mysterious. It works under Live. Works under the friggin' BIOS. Then, when OS loads from HD, the KBD lights actually go out. [23:47] I can dig up a little "travel mouse". gimme' a sec... [23:47] also, maybe ty a different livecd - your disc could be corrupt [23:47] try* [23:49] lop: it really messes stuff up, don't know how to fix === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard|bnc [23:50] Ben64: can you tell me how can i get full access to my harddrive just to copy all stuff or the bad news is that i can forget all the stuff it gone hope not ? [23:51] lop: all your data is fine. you can access it with a livecd or liveusb or something like that [23:51] lop: actually.... might have a way to fix it [23:51] Ben64: well that´s ... great! [23:51] Ben64: how ? [23:51] lop: can you tell me what you have in /tmp [23:52] hmmm [23:52] Ben64: i deleted it i dont remeber [23:52] anyone here do vfx work? [23:52] lop: i mean whats in there right now [23:52] Ben64: wait please [23:52] SonikkuAmerica, okay. tried a 2nd USB mouse. Same deal. No go. [23:53] lop: you should be able to get to a console with CTRL+ALT+F1 [23:53] i got to wondering why adobe products aren't being ported to linux [23:53] It has power. Red LED comes on. But no response from Ubuntu. [23:53] found a number of threads that were fairly interesting in that regard [23:53] especially on the adobe forums themselves [23:53] saki`, I just saw a "NOTE" on the Adobe Flash Playre download page. Said v11.2 would be the last version ported to Linux. [23:53] a bunch of people practically clawing at the one staff member answering their question [23:54] oh no way [23:54] i'm new to linux [23:54] You'll see that if you look at the flash download page from a Linux distro, if your browser "useragent" reports your system truthfully. [23:54] ah [23:54] I haven't seen anyone talking about it. might be brand new. [23:54] what'll happen after then? [23:54] CrownWheel: are you suure your keyboard layout is set correct? I've onky been partially following [23:54] Ben64: empty only folder [23:54] only* [23:54] but i meant stuff like photoshop and the like [23:54] saki`, I don't know. The "NOTE" says they'll keep doing "security backports" to v11.2 [23:54] CrownWheel: (re: Flash) That's right. If you want Flash, you'll have to settle with the Google Chrome, whose Flash Player is (literally) spotty. Or switch to HTML5 for at least a decent YouTube experience. [23:55] *with Google Chrome [23:55] kriskropd, I'm sure of this much: [23:55] And Solaris users are SOL. [23:55] we should start a petition [23:55] It worked under v12.04 Live. And I went through the whole exercise with the "keyboard layout detector" the last time I ran the installer. [23:55] lop: then do this... "sudo mkdir /tmp/orbit- /tmp/orbit-gdm" [23:55] for adobe to port over a buncha stuff. [23:56] lop: then... "sudo chown : /tmp/orbit-" [23:56] CrownWheel: I would suspect a corrupt keyboard driver install... but this is just weird. [23:56] make it do the rounds until we get a million or so signatures or something [23:56] kriskropd, also, like I say, the KBD works in the BIOS. As soon as the OS loads from the HD, the KBD lights actually go out. No more capslock or numlock response. [23:56] lop: then... "sudo chown gdm:gdm /tmp/orbit-gdm" [23:56] all i use my workstation for [23:56] lop: finally you should be able to restart and get your system back [23:56] CrownWheel: that's actually why I think your keyboard layout might be set incorrect [23:56] kriskropd, tell on. [23:56] saki`: quite offtopic for #ubuntu [23:57] kriskropd: ok so with live cd i managed to get the terminal i believe, i can type commands, not how do i play with my resolution/vga settings [23:57] sorry. [23:57] i'll shut up now [23:57] theres #ubuntu-offtopic for stuff like that [23:57] ah. no worries [23:57] sorry i just figured this was for everything [23:57] my bad === fox_wilson is now known as fwilson [23:58] SonikkuAmerica, weird it is. During install, I caught a "could not create /root/.cached/dconf" error on the tiny little console. So...something was up. Ben64 weighed in on that earlier; didn't seem to think it should be creating that at all. [23:59] CrownWheel: I'm doing a lot of different things to help in detail atm, but look into 'setxkbmap' (you can probably set it via ssh) and try diff layputs to see if one will work. Hackishly, you could try putting it in your .xprofile to load on xserver load automatically [23:59] kriskropd, can't do it via SSH. First login... [23:59] kriskropd: How's CrownWheel going to set that up with no KB or mouse input whatsoever?
