[00:07] <danny> what kind of extensions can tar extract?
[00:07] <danny> tar command
[00:07] <danny> anyone plz?
[00:08] <histo> danny: a bunch they are all listed if you tar --help
[00:09] <histo> danny: but it's not really tar doing the uncompression it's just filtering it through other apps
[00:09] <histo> danny: like bzip2 xz lzip lzma lzop gzip
[00:09] <Pici> or libraries
[00:09] <danny> histo: ok got you thx
[00:11] <lavolanta> any help setting up a access point on a linux box?
[00:11] <Adam-85> i try to change mode for user to run vbox setting
[00:12] <holstein> lavolanta: did you try from a live CD? with the GUI tool i mentioned?
[00:12] <Adam-85> sudo chown adam:users /media/Data/VBOX/usb.vmdk
[00:12] <Adam-85> and my user is adam
[00:12] <danny> How safe is it to download and extract a compressed file in linux?
[00:13] <danny> Anyone?!
[00:13] <holstein> danny: depends.. i would do it as my normal user.. patiently
[00:13] <dr_willis> danny: safe to extract...    running is another story
[00:13] <epzil0n> depends on from where you got it i guess
[00:13] <danny> thx
[00:14] <dr_willis> depends on a lot of things....
[00:14] <dr_willis> same as it would in any os.
[00:14] <epzil0n> as usual :P
[00:14] <nullucas> Hi, is there a way to set up a personalized input method based on simple replacements? For example, whenever I type :dollar: it replaces it with $, or :schwa: becomes ə, etcetera
[00:14] <dr_willis> worse case if ran as a user.. it messes with the users files
[00:15] <ClientAlive> how does ubuntu maintain the kernel and bootloader as far as updates are concerned?
[00:16] <holstein> ClientAlive: there are teams.. and volunteers. developers. they update them
[00:17] <ClientAlive> holstein: oh, no. I meant in the ubuntu o/s
[00:17] <holstein> ClientAlive: how does the ubuntu os maintain the kerne and bootloader updates?
[00:18] <ClientAlive> holstein: I'm planning to use a custom kernel and possibly a different bootloader than grub2. How can I make sure that updates to those items are stopped?
[00:18] <holstein> ClientAlive: they come in when a new one is available.. the old kernels are left there.. the bootloader shoulnt need to be messed with
[00:18] <holstein> ClientAlive: you can pin.. or remove.. or just update them, and use others
[00:19] <ClientAlive> so sudo apt-get purge <kernel> would prevent any future updates to the kernel?
[00:19] <holstein> ClientAlive: no.. that would purge the kernel.. and since its not installed, not get any updates
[00:20] <ClientAlive> ok
[00:20] <yahbah> the us is going to kill mr shutlworth
[00:20] <holstein> !ot | yahbah
[00:20] <ClientAlive> is there a way to manually stop updates? (maybe delete some script or change the configuration of aptitude or something)?
[00:20] <yahbah> http://politics.slashdot.org/story/13/03/21/2115213/do-nations-have-the-right-to-kill-enemy-hackers
[00:21] <holstein> ClientAlive: you can pin
[00:21] <holstein> yahbah: please go to the ot channel with those.. thanks!
[00:21] <ClientAlive> what is that?
[00:21] <yahbah> http://linux.slashdot.org/story/13/03/21/2235251/canonical-and-china-announce-ubuntu-collaboration
[00:22] <yahbah> http://politics.slashdot.org/story/13/03/21/203249/political-pressure-pushes-nasa-technical-reports-offline
[00:22] <holstein> ClientAlive: pinning a package pins it down.. so it wont get upgraded if an upgrade comes.. its in the menu in synaptic.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[00:22] <ClientAlive> holstein: or can you give me a search term to use on google for it?
[00:22] <ClientAlive> excellent. thx
[00:22] <holstein> ClientAlive: package pinning..
[00:24] <lavolanta> holstein: it doesnt work i told you my brother
[00:24] <holstein> lavolanta: in what way?.. what are the errors?
[00:25] <ClientAlive> holstein: so then if I never install the ubuntu kernel to begin with I won't have to worry about updates anyway? Suppose I manually install a custom kernel right from the start.
[00:26] <holstein> ClientAlive: the ubuntu installer installs one. but yes. if you remove a package, it will not get upgrades
[00:26] <ClientAlive> holstein: right on. thx man
[00:27] <ClientAlive> holstein: what do you think the name to use in an apt-get command would be? Same as it's file name?
[00:27] <Krayne> Hello
[00:27] <yahbah> hello
[00:28] <holstein> ClientAlive: if i were you, i would use a package manager.. synaptic.. also, i would use the stock kernel
[00:28] <yahbah> how you doing?
[00:30] <ClientAlive> holstein: yeah, that's not gonna be possible in my situation. I mean, maybe i could get it to happen by doing the same manual install I would have to do for a custom kernel, but then why not just make my own high performance kernel anyway? I mean, if I have to go to all the trouble anyway...
[00:30] <holstein> ClientAlive: do what you want.. i dont think there is any reason to run a custom kernel
[00:30] <ClientAlive> bestides, booting with the kernel's stub loader is kinda the piont of this project anyway
[00:33] <IanATompkins> hello is there a server channel?
[00:33] <ClientAlive> what about the way getting updates of other things sometimes results in the initrd being updated? Would updating the initrd for a custom kernel be someting I need to address?
[00:33] <IanATompkins> I'm having a ton of trouble getting wpa_supplicant to work...
[00:34] <sensa> hello how can use gaming keyboard on ubuntu?
[00:34] <sensa> i mean that special keybinding?
[00:34] <holstein> sensa: i would just plug it in and see if it works
[00:34] <holstein> !server | IanATompkinsia
[00:34] <sensa> i know, keybinding for special keys
[00:34] <sensa> G1,G2,M1,M2
[00:34] <holstein> sensa: i would just go to the keyboard bindings section
[00:35] <sensa> i tryed didnt work
[00:35] <sensa> logitech g105  <---keyboard
[00:35] <IanATompkins> thankyou | holstein
[00:35] <sensa> whenn i push G1 open help menu , F1 too
[00:36] <ai6pg> try man keymaps
[00:36] <sensa> im newbie
[00:36] <dr_willis> theres g15 software for my logitech g15
[00:36] <sensa> english isnt perfect too
[00:36] <dr_willis> in the repos.
[00:37] <sensa> thanks dr_willis
[00:37] <ai6pg> man keymap at the command line shows you how to change the keycodes to different keys
[00:37] <sensa> im tryin
[00:37] <IanATompkins> oh umm, I know what it is, I've been trying to get my wireless card to connect via WPA2 for like 4 hours now.
[00:37] <IanATompkins> I'm just trying to find a channel that might be helpful in figuring this out.
[00:40] <ClientAlive> am I remembering correctly that an initrd can be embedded in the kernel?
[00:41] <dr_willis> hmm..  perhaps a tiny one?
[00:46] <tigrang> I installed fglrx drivers and then uninstalled them because the panel and launcher in unity no longer showed, but even after installing it, they're not appearing anymore.
[00:46] <tigrang> even after UNinstalling*
[00:47] <dr_willis> tigrang:  make sure you are not using the old xorg.conf file still. Ive sene others mention/ask this in here befor. but never saw a definitive fix.
[00:47] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com may  have some info on it.
[00:48] <tigrang> dr_willis, I dont have an xorg.conf file, Yea im looking on there, no luck yet
[00:48] <dr_willis> compiz is failing for some reason.
[00:48] <dr_willis> you  could try stating it from a terminal so  you can see error messages
[00:48] <dr_willis> ive sen this 'unity loading a partial desktop' issue with nvidia, ati, and even Intel gfx'
[00:48] <dr_willis> never seen a definitive reason as to why - or how to fix.
[00:49] <k1lled> i try to start virtual 13.04 aphla ubuntu, but when i click to start, or click to install on HDD have a error for miss a some file, i dont remember a name of file... Sry my english is bad... someone know how i can fix that?
[00:49] <dr_willis> k1lled:  double check the dvd.iso files  md5,  veryfiy its good..  also you could try a daily build iso.  and support for 13.04 is in #UBUNTU+1
[00:50] <tigrang> dr_willis, Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded. and Warn: No default decoration found
[00:50] <dr_willis> compiz uses window 'decorators' to handle the actual titlebar and buttons.  i think the default is gtk-decorator
[00:51] <dr_willis> opengl is what handles the 3d  stuff i belive.     Ive not messed with compiz in ages.
[00:51] <dr_willis> !find gtk-decorator
[00:52] <dr_willis> hmm.. must be  a differnt name these days
[00:54] <trism> gtk-window-decorator
[00:54] <dr_willis> i imagine its the gl issue thats killing things..  sincce its an 'error' and not a 'warning'
[00:55] <th3k1n60fk1n65> Hi I need some help with my internal hard disk. I'm a new user to Ubuntu 12.10 and I really do love it. Only problem is I can't get into my hard disk. The error I get is "unable to mount location can't mount file". Any chance I could get some help? :D
[00:55] <dr_willis> th3k1n60fk1n65:  how are you ttrying to access/mount it?
[00:56] <dr_willis> and whats on the internal hd?
[00:56] <boston62> what cause the Dummy Output in Ubuntu 12.04?
[00:57] <th3k1n60fk1n65> currently my younger brother has some .minecraft folder he needs access to. i'm in attempt to access it through go>computer>350 GB Hard Disk
[00:57] <dr_willis> try mounting it by hand. look for error messages.
[00:57] <dr_willis> !mount | th3k1n60fk1n65
[00:57] <dr_willis> bbl.. got a job to do.
[00:58] <holstein> th3k1n60fk1n65: try accessing anything else there as well
[00:59] <ritmo2k_> Hey guys, at the time Ubuntu desktop 12.04 was released, there was no distinction in filename between the lts 12.04 release, are they the same, how does one tell the difference?
[00:59] <jrib> ritmo2k_: 12.04 is 12.04
[00:59] <holstein> !12.04
[00:59] <jrib> ritmo2k_: if you are still not sure, be more specific about what files you are talking about
[01:00] <ritmo2k_> jrib: Ok, so why does the download page offer two links, one with, and one without lts in the "button"?
[01:00] <sensa> one more question. How can i configure, when my friend connect to my server to set alarm or aplay etc.. i tryed  set to /home/friend/.profile  and didnt work
[01:00] <maciej234> i've been having this issue with ubuntu, when i Resume from Suspend, many times the screen will just be black and won't turn on
[01:00] <th3k1n60fk1n65> i can access the file system and my cd/dvd drive but not the 350 GB Hard disk
[01:00] <jrib> ritmo2k_: be more specific about what files you are talking about
[01:00] <holstein> th3k1n60fk1n65: nothing on the hard disk?
[01:00] <ritmo2k_> Just the iso, so I that I know if I installed an "lts release"
[01:01] <jrib> ritmo2k_: be more specific about what files you are talking about; or just trust that there is only one 12.04
[01:01] <ritmo2k_> So right now, the desktop points to 12.10 and lts points to 12.04.2
[01:01] <ClientAlive> why do I see "updating initrd" when I do an update?
[01:01] <m3pow> hello guys !
[01:01] <holstein> ritmo2k_: the 12.04 *is* the lts
[01:01] <asmcoder8> hello m3pow
[01:01] <m3pow> any particular reason why i loose my DSL connection in Ubuntu 12.10 ?
[01:01] <th3k1n60fk1n65> holstein: there shouldn't be anything on the hard disk. erased the disk to install ubuntu 12.10
[01:02] <ritmo2k_> Ok, heh, I get it, just odd there are two links, and one says desktop and one says lts?
[01:02] <holstein> th3k1n60fk1n65: open a file manager, do you see the hard drive on the left side?
[01:02] <m3pow> everything just stops and i can see it in the connection panel
[01:02] <m3pow> i do have to restart the laptop to have the DSL available again
[01:02] <asmcoder8> yes
[01:03] <th3k1n60fk1n65> holstein: I can see the hard drive
[01:04] <holstein> th3k1n60fk1n65: then click on it, mount it, and share errors
[01:04] <ritmo2k_> hostein: Check out http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop do you see that it offers two links? I have a vendor saying I needed to use LTS but I didnt, I know I picked the first link, problem is at that time, both filenames were the same, which is silly...
[01:04] <ritmo2k_> holstein: Sorry, fat fingered that msg to you
[01:04] <jrib> ritmo2k_: 12.04 is lts.  If you have version 12.04 (lsb_release -a), then you have lts
[01:04] <amber__> Anyone have trouble with spotify on 12.04?
[01:05] <th3k1n60fk1n65> holstein: Could not read the contents of 320 GB Hard Disk, the file is not a directory
[01:05] <holstein> th3k1n60fk1n65: what would i do? if there is nothing on the drive, i would reformat it
[01:05] <ritmo2k_> jrib: Ok checking that
[01:08] <elisa87> why this error ? jalal@mona:~$ git clone git@github.com:bakks/virginian.git
[01:08] <elisa87> Cloning into 'virginian'...

[01:08] <jrib> elisa87: Permission denied (publickey)
[01:09] <kalenjohnson> you need to include a keyfile to access it elisa87
[01:09] <elisa87> Permission denied (publickey).  jrlib what should I do?
[01:09] <elisa87> I don't know how to do so kalenjohnson
[01:10] <kalenjohnson> Is that the same as an SSH keyfile?
[01:10] <escott> elisa87, you need to upload your pub key to github. they have instructions on how to do that
[01:10] <kalenjohnson> seems like the same error
[01:10] <jrib> elisa87: are you the owner of this repository or do you just want to clone the code locally?
[01:10] <th3k1n60fk1n65> holstein: I'll give that a go and see what happens. Thanks for the help!
[01:10] <elisa87> no I am not the owner I want to get something from there
[01:11] <elisa87> jalal@mona:~$ ssh-add -l
[01:11] <escott> elisa87, if you just want to pull you dont need to use the git link. pull via http

[01:11] <jrib> elisa87: then git clone https://github.com/bakks/virginian.git
[01:12] <elisa87> ah ok thanks a lot escott and jrib
[01:14] <tigrang> gah I dont want to reinstall =/
[01:14] <kalenjohnson> reinstall is so fun
[01:14] <kalenjohnson> so fresh and so clean
[01:21] <ksbalaji> I have usb os, facing update problems. I presume many would be having similar problems. Can something be done?
[01:23] <ksbalaji> Am I connected to ubuntu?
[01:23] <holstein> ksbalaji: facing update problems?
[01:24] <tigrang> dr_willis, for future reference for someone else, removing ~/.cache and ~/.config worked
[01:25] <ksbalaji> Thanks holstein - This channel used to be busy. No activity now? Yes I face update problems with my usb stick. I face initramfs update problem. I think many of us face this. Cant something be done?
[01:25] <holstein> ksbalaji: done about what?
[01:25] <kalenjohnson> I'd say it's busy. Look at all the people
[01:26] <holstein> ksbalaji: if you want to update, just update.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..you also can just not upgrade
[01:26] <ksbalaji> holstein: About removing this initramfs update problem.
[01:26] <holstein> ksbalaji: elaborate more about your update issue.. assume i have no idea what issue you have
[01:26] <holstein> !paste | ksbalaji use a pastebin to illustrate *exact* error messages
[01:27] <ksbalaji> holstein: I do not upgrade. I just use synaptic or update manager to update. I keep on getting some initramfs update error. I googled some and found many facing similar problem.
[01:27] <holstein> ksbalaji: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and share the errors via pastebin
[01:28] <ksbalaji> holstein: ok
[01:32] <ksbalaji> holstein: http://pastebin.com/8wffDwrC This has no error since I have tried to update some time back with errors.
[01:33] <djshotglass> is there a command line tool to look though installed packages and uninstall some
[01:33] <jrib> djshotglass: using what criteria?
[01:33] <holstein> !aptitude
[01:34] <bekor>  friends i am using 12.04 i have old kernels that i have tried everything i can thing of to get rid of.i can not even istall new programs now.any sugesstions?
[01:34] <ksbalaji> holstein: I just am not good at handling aptitude. Maybe am not patient enough to understand messages.
[01:35] <holstein> ksbalaji: that was for djshotglass
[01:35] <ksbalaji> holstein: ok
[01:35] <holstein> ksbalaji: what is your issue?
[01:35] <holstein> ksbalaji: i see no errors there.. run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and share errors
[01:36] <Legend2013> Hello Ubuntu people
[01:36] <bekor> can not remove old kernels, if i update to the newest kernel will it clean everything up?
[01:37] <holstein> bekor: i keep a few old ones around on purpose.. sudo apt-get autoremove might offer to "cleanup"
[01:37] <Legend2013> Is there a specific channel to discuss developing ubuntu software?
[01:37] <ksbalaji> holstein: I just gave the command you suggested and pasted the output. That was without errors since I just now updated - with errors. I dare not upgrade since I am on a single ubuntu usb stick. My hdd is down. My dvd/cd live copy is very old.
[01:38] <holstein> bekor: you can always search for them in the package manager of your choice and remove them
[01:38] <bekor> nothing has worked i do not mind keeping them around if i could at least still down load software
[01:38] <holstein> bekor: ?
[01:38] <bekor> i have tried that also
[01:38] <holstein> bekor: just search and remove them
[01:39] <bekor> search how?
[01:39] <Xander_> Any ideas on how to fix the sound on ubuntu 12.04? It plays, but it sounds hollow. The low end doesn't come in for some reason.
[01:40] <ksbalaji> holstein: I just wish to get information on usb update problems with initramfs not responding for updates in usb sticks.
[01:42] <ksbalaji> It is quite some time since I logged here. I wish to know improvements in usb stick os update errors regarding initramfs not updating properly. I still have the problem.
[01:44] <holstein> ksbalaji: i dont know what you are talking about
[01:44] <ubuntu22> I just updated my 12.04 and now audacious won't play music, it will load everything fine but when I press play it doesn't do anything, like the time doesn't progress.  I also cannot listen to music on soundcloud.com
[01:44] <bekor> i have tried all the tricks you suggested to remove my kernel old kernel but no luck
[01:44] <holstein> ksbalaji: i have no problem with my usb sticks.. what problem are you having? start with "im running this operating system on this machine on this hardware"
[01:45] <holstein> bekor: i dont think so. you go to a package manager, and search "linux" and find your kernels, and remove them.. you can use synaptic
[01:45] <bekor> i  can try again
[01:45] <holstein> bekor: no.. im not suggesting you "try" anything.. if you want them removed, you can remove them via a package manager.. if not, dont worry with it..
[01:46] <bekor> i have catualy tried it but maybe i do not know what i am doing
[01:46] <bekor> are you talkindg about synaptic?
[01:48] <ubuntu22> Also, when I try to view flash video's my firefox crashes / lags out.
[01:49] <holstein> bekor: synaptic is what i suggested.. you search "linux" and sort by "installed applications".. the kernels you have will be there, in order.. you right click and mark for removal
[01:49] <holstein> ubuntu22: i use chrome for flash.. that is the only current flash available for linux
[01:49] <ksbalaji> holstein: ok np. Thanks for trying.  It is also nice to know that you have no problem with your usb stick. I shall try something like fresh install. Now, I have lucid 10.04 kernel 2.6.32-45-generic and gnome 2.30.2
[01:49] <user_> Hi Guys
[01:50] <holstein> ksbalaji: trying what?
[01:50] <ubuntu22> holstein,  I just updated my 12.04 and now audacious won't play music, it will load everything fine but when I press play it doesn't do anything, like the time doesn't progress.  I also cannot listen to music on soundcloud.com
[01:50] <holstein> ksbalaji: i dont know what your issue is?
[01:50] <holstein> ksbalaji: what probem are you having?
[01:50] <bekor> i have tried that and it does not work
[01:50] <holstein> ubuntu22: you have no system audio?
[01:51] <ubuntu22> holstein, I am playing a game in wine right now and there is sound working
 try to open the shell and execute command 'killall pulseaudio'
[01:51] <zentwin> How do I boot in text mode
[01:52] <holstein> ubuntu22: ok.. so try google-chrome (not chromium) and see if that solves your flash audio issues
[01:52] <user_> Guys, i have a question about XUBUNTU
[01:52] <user_> what is the default/standard startup sequence
[01:52] <ksbalaji> holstein: While updating, I get something like not all packages updated. I scroll and find initramfs being mentioned in errors. I usually see a generating image x.x.x.x-generic failing.
[01:52] <ubuntu22> holstein, what about audacious / vlc / totem
[01:52] <dr_willis> what do you mean user_ ?
[01:52] <korsakof> to boot in text mode, you need to use the single user mode..
[01:52] <korsakof> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/grub-boot-into-single-user-mode/
[01:52] <user_> it looks like mine is little bit screwed and during the login it takes some time to initialize xfce
[01:53] <dr_willis> Err. there is a TEXT mode.. then theres a single user mode..  single user mode is a special text mode
[01:53] <dr_willis> text mode = dosent  start the lightdm  service. and a few other little differances.  single user mode =  like a recovery shell
[01:53] <holstein> ksbalaji: when you say "i get something like".. share *exactly* what message you get.. and try upgrading via the terminal as i suggested.. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:54] <zentwin> dr_willis: I mean without any Desktop like GNOME
[01:54] <user_> dr_willis, during the login i have a blinking of the gui, it takes some time to initialize xfce
[01:54] <dr_willis> user_:  look in your .config/autorun (or was it autostart)  directory and the /etc/xdg/autostart directory
[01:54] <holstein> ksbalaji: dist-upgrade just updates your packages.. its not a distribution upgrade
[01:54] <holstein> ubuntu22: try installing pavucontrol ..look in alsamixer and trust no lables.. try..
[01:54] <dr_willis> zentwin:  that would be text mode.
[01:54] <dr_willis> !text
[01:54] <holstein> !audio
[01:54] <user_> zentwin, google grub cyberciti, vivek have some great tutorials there
[01:55] <ksbalaji> holstein: I note to report on seeing the error message again. OH? I shall do dist-upgrade now.
[01:55] <holstein> ksbalaji: thats what i suggested, again
[01:56] <holstein> ksbalaji: that *is* an update proceedure that will either give you an error, or upgrade around whatever it is you are talking about
[01:56] <user_> dr_willis, ok it was autostart
[01:56] <zentwin> dr_willis: I want to boot up with run level 1 to be precise. Do you know how to do that_
[01:56] <user_> and only two desktop files there
[01:57] <user_> dr_jesus, i already now that i can manage this in settings>session and startup
[01:57] <zentwin> user_ I want to boot up with run level 1 to be precise. Do you know how to do that
[01:57] <user_> dr_jesus, session tab, but i dont know in which order or what should start by default for xubuntu
[01:58] <jrib> zentwin: why do you think you want to boot up to run level 1?
[01:58] <user_> zentwin, you mean init? im afrain only system can do that
[01:58] <histo> zentwin: from the grub menu recovery mode
[01:58] <zentwin> histo: How
[01:59] <user_> zentwin, during the startup - if you have a grub installed
[01:59] <histo> zentwin: hold the shift key down prior to ubuntu loading to get the grub menu.
[01:59] <jrib> zentwin: what do you want to do once you get to run level 1?
[01:59] <dr_willis> !runlevel
[01:59] <zentwin> jrib: Rescue my work because I cannot get into GNOME, I get bluescreen
[02:00] <user_> jrib, i guess he doesent have the pass and wants to access it anyway....
[02:00] <dr_willis> im not evevn sure how runlevel 1 differs  :)
[02:00] <histo> dr_willis: single user
[02:00] <dr_willis> but ubuntu dosent really use runleveles  like other disrtos do
[02:00] <dr_willis> histo:  that would be what the recovery console uses then isent it?
[02:00] <user_> anyway guys
[02:00] <histo> dr_willis: yes single user mode
[02:00] <user_> can you help my with my xface thing?
[02:01] <histo> dr_willis: ofcourse it uses runlevels
[02:01] <user_> is here anybody who is using xubuntu?
[02:01] <user_> I'm interested about the default session startup
[02:01] <dr_willis> i thought the runlevels were sort of faked by upstart
[02:01] <ksbalaji> holstein: http://pastebin.com/ZbzyjE3R -This is exactly what I was talking about! I waited quite long to get this finished. Can this be repaired please?
[02:01] <histo> user_: what are you trying to accomplish with xubuntu?
[02:02] <user_> histo, I already acomplished and its running fine :)
[02:02] <zentwin> ctrl+alt+1 thru 6 didn't do squat just a black screen.
[02:02] <histo> user_: then what's your question your xfce one?
[02:02] <user_> histo, but unfortunetly i screwed the default startup sequence
[02:02] <dr_willis> zentwin:  seen some video card drivers have issues with that. and somtomes the framebuffer can cause issues with the consoles
[02:03] <histo> dr_willis: well in  sense. upstart doesn't know about runlevels but supports them
[02:03] <user_> histo, so every time i login, it takes some time to initialize the gui- much longer then before i screwed it....
[02:03] <zentwin> dr_willis: How do I get around that, by using run level 1 or what
[02:04] <user_> histo, its somehow switching the sessions between xface and xubuntu session
[02:04] <dr_willis> zentwin:  i belive the gist of  the thread in the channel was that  the 'recovery' menu item in grub. boots to the reccovery console. which is using runlevel 1. but then starts up the recovery 'menu' item
[02:04] <dr_willis> zentwin:  so why do you  need runlevel 1?
[02:04] <i-make-robots> hi, ubuntu.  Where would I go to ask about automating a workflow process that crosses over from php into a bash script and back?
[02:05] <dougWill> I'm using virtualbox but the performance is bad an idea
[02:05] <i-make-robots> I have people uploading STL files, I want to run a calculation on them and email back a response.
[02:05] <zentwin> dr_willis: As long as I can get to any console, thanx
[02:05] <i-make-robots> the response should be stored in a database for retreival when they click a link.
[02:05] <dr_willis> zentwin:  texxt mode or the recovery mode get to the consoles.
[02:05] <histo> user_: do you mean xfce? not xface rigth?
[02:05] <zentwin> Yeah
[02:05] <histo> user_: have you tested that the problem doesn't happen with a new user?
[02:05] <dr_willis> dougWill:  i tend to use lubuntu in vbox. its lighter
[02:05] <user_> histo, yes, sorry its little bit late here (gmt+1)
[02:06] <histo> user_: have you tested that the problem doesn't happen with a new user?
[02:06] <holstein> ksbalaji: i would remove the nvidia driver.. did you add any ppas?
[02:07] <user_> histo, actually i don't great idea! But in other hand i completly refreshed my user, removed the user settings.
[02:07] <user_> histo, but i will definitely try your suggestion and will let you know thx for a hint
[02:08] <histo> user_: you may have missed some user config files the hidden ones in your ~/.hidden   they start with .
[02:08] <ksbalaji> holstein: :( I do not know I have a nvidia driver! Sorry. What is ppas?
[02:09] <ksbalaji> holstein: While opting for some apps, I used to click ok to install them. May be that added ppas ? Am I catching on?
[02:10] <holstein> ksbalaji: you have something nvidia installed
[02:10] <holstein> !ppa
[02:10] <user_> histo, I'm not so lame, even if it looks like so, I'm working as a unix/linux support but as you know no gui on the servers  :)
[02:10] <holstein> ksbalaji: i would look at my sources and see if i have any ppa's
[02:10] <Keres> i just installed another OS, but when i re-install grub i get no OS choice menu
[02:10] <Keres> it just boots to ubuntu
[02:10] <holstein> ksbalaji: can this be fixed? sure.. you just have to determine what "it" is.. and start cleaning up and troubleshooting those errors
[02:11] <histo> user_: Didn't say you were just offering suggestions. when you "switched" from xubuntu-desktop to xfce what did you do?
[02:12] <Keres> how do you set up grub to give you a choice in which OS to boot?
[02:12] <ksbalaji> holstein: ok. I see a launchpad ppa in the source.
[02:12] <holstein> !grub | Keres
[02:12] <dr_willis> Keres:  what other os?
[02:12] <user_> histo, no prob :) just trying to replicate the issue on the new account, brb
[02:12] <holstein> ksbalaji: thats one extra source that could be causing breakage.. im not saying it is.. jsut that it could be
[02:13] <Keres> i dont have to recover anything, i can just use the boot menu since they are on 2 physically different disks... and it's win732 for buzz
[02:13] <dr_willis> Keres:  theres a option to hide the grub menu in the /etc/default/grub file
[02:13] <dr_willis> Keres:  if you boot to ubuntu and rerun 'update-grub' it should see and add the windows entry  to the menu
[02:14] <Keres> i wouldnt need hardware win32 if wine had dotnet4.0 but you guys prolly know that
[02:14] <ksbalaji> holstein: Thanks. I shall remove that and see. Now how to remove this nvidia thing please?
[02:14] <Keres> sudo update-grub?
[02:14] <dr_willis> Keres:  yes. the grub docs mention this and other options.   it should list the windows partions if they are seen in its output
[02:15] <holstein> ksbalaji: just define what "nividia thing" is installed
[02:15] <histo> user_: well if you thoroughly cleansed ~ new account won't help
[02:15] <dr_willis> as for the wind .net stuff.. check in #winehq and check out 'winetricks'
[02:15] <holstein> ksbalaji: i would search a package manager for anything that is giving errors in that list and try removing it
[02:15] <Keres> yeah, some music apps just dont like wine
[02:15] <holstein> ksbalaji: i would also consider just backing up my data, and reinstalling
[02:15] <Keres> the guys who make buzz are windows freaks
[02:16] <dr_willis> no  idea what 'buzz' is...
[02:16] <Keres> not to worry tho, ubuntu has something now called Sunvox ;)
[02:16] <holstein> ksbalaji: takes me about 20 minutes to reinstall and get back where i am.. we have wasted more time than that just trying to understand each other
[02:16] <Keres> music trackers
[02:16] <Keres> which are like real insturments in a way... you get really used to them and you have to have exactly that when you are typing
[02:16] <Keres> like when i was a kid it had to be octamed,
[02:18] <savagecroc> hey anyone have any details on this qilin OS... i thought originally it was basically some SELinux type version of FreeBSD... is that what it's going to be replacing?
[02:18] <user_> histo, Ok, im back and the configs are completly same
[02:19] <holstein> Keres: you can try #opensourcemusicians
[02:19] <holstein> Keres: you can try ubuntustudio live.. i would try some native solutions
[02:19] <user_> funny thing is that the new user profile is loggingin much faster and there is a minor difference in the configs, i mean few crons and nas mount
[02:20] <Keres> like i said, its like a particular instrument, once you get used to it you can actually "play" it
[02:20] <escott> user_ check gnome-session-properties
[02:21] <Keres> im not here to debate that there are some awesome apps for ubuntu now
[02:21] <Keres> there definitely are
[02:21] <Keres> its just that... you know old tracks and stuff
[02:21] <Keres> i will delete the partition after the music fest
[02:21] <Keres> dont worry ;)
[02:21] <holstein> Keres: this is not the channel for that..
[02:22] <histo> user: well cronjobs and nas mounts wouldn't slow a user down. They should not be handled int he GUI.... how are you mounting the nas drive via ffstab?
[02:22] <Keres> ok then, where to i get a copy of ubuntu for a cortex A8 1.2Gh tablet?
[02:23] <dr_willis> !arm
[02:23] <Dylan> hi all, I have a pretty basic terminal question - is this a good place to ask for help?
[02:23] <ksbalaji> holstein: I understand your point. Here is mine: You are helpful. It is worth my time. Sorry it also wasted yours.
[02:23] <somsip> Dylan: go for it
[02:23] <histo> !ask | Dylan
[02:25] <Dylan> great, thank you! limited ubuntu / linux experience. trying to install lazylibrarian through terminal. have no issues what so ever until i try to sudo service lazylibrarian start. always gives me error: "start-stop-deamon: unable to chdir() to lazy/ (No such file or directory)
[02:25] <holstein> ksbalaji: i volunteer my time.. you are not wasting it.. im just suggesting a potential path of least resistance
[02:26] <holstein> Keres: i download from the ubuntu site ...http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[02:27] <somsip> Dylan: have you followed the ubuntu specific instruction in the README?
[02:28] <dr_willis> dylan seems it wants a directory called  'lazy' somwhere. ;)
[02:28] <Keres> holstein, i dont see an image for that architecture
[02:28] <holstein> Keres: sure.. just help define what "that" is, and i'll search it for you
[02:28] <Keres> Cortex A8 1.2 Ghz with 512 ram
[02:29] <Keres> ARM i think right?
[02:29] <Dylan> somsip yes, followed instructions carefully. didn't seem to have any issues until this last part. dr_willis lazy is the directory that i created where I placed the contents of the lazylibrarian zip file i downloaded from github
[02:29] <Keres> 5 point touchscreen and HDMI
[02:29] <Keres> problem is that the android OS is terrible
[02:29] <Keres> unusable
[02:29] <dr_willis> dylan there may  be a config file youneed to  edit and tell it where to  look for that directtory
[02:30] <somsip> Dylan: that's where I was going - I'd expect there to be a path to lazy/ somwhere in one of the config scripts.
[02:30] <dr_willis> Keres:  ubuntu on tablets is in a very early stage..  and may  not be very useable.
[02:30] <ksbalaji> holstein: Thanks. ok - Now with your help, I have deleted some apps which have something to do with nvidia. I also found that I do not have nvidia hw installed. This shall do for the day. Thanks again and bye!
[02:30] <holstein> Keres: i dont have one.. i'll search if you need. do you need me to search that device and see if its an arm chip? there are arm iso's ..
[02:30] <holstein> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm
[02:30] <duckx0r> I'm trying to get a list of the number of entries in the `changes_cc` table by each user. However for some reason it's returning "1" for each user that has 0 entries. How can I make it so that it is "0"? http://pastie.org/private/d3odrdfvvaciq3eadiwhw
[02:30] <dr_willis> I like androd on my Nexus7 ;)
[02:30] <holstein> ksbalaji: good luck!
[02:30] <Keres> an ISO would be cool, but without all the working drivers...
[02:31] <Kow> why does quassel-client require KDE libs? it should only require QT :-/
[02:32] <Dylan> dr_willis / somsip i edited the config file using sudo editor /etc/default/lazylibrarian. in that file I changed: "# [required] set path where lazylibrarian is installed: APP_PATH=lazy/"
[02:32] <dr_willis> dylan i a,m guessing you are not using the proper path.
[02:33] <dr_willis> dylan use the full path to the diretory
[02:33] <somsip> Dylan: the path looks strange. I would expect it to be something like '/home/dylan/lazy' or /usr/opt/lazy
[02:33] <Keres> thanks guys!
[02:33] <holstein> Keres: you want what drivers?
[02:33] <Keres> well, HDMI is key
[02:33] <Keres> thats what i use that tablet for
[02:34] <holstein> Keres: the kernel is modular, so most drivers are there.. i dont mess with the arm version personally
[02:34] <Keres> its not a big deal
[02:34] <holstein> !tablet | Keres
[02:34] <holstein> Keres: whats not?
[02:34] <Keres> its just that the android that it came with is really bad
[02:34] <holstein> Keres: i might have missed something in the scroll back
[02:34] <Dylan> dr_willis somsip the lazy folder is in my home directory. just tried changing it to /home/lazy/ but that didn't help either. is there a longer "full" path name that I can use/
[02:34] <Keres> the app that i want to run is called sunvox, there are android and linux versions
[02:35] <dr_willis> Keres:  you  may have better luck finding an alterantive android rom for the thing.
[02:35] <Keres> the android version runs but needs more CPU overhead
[02:35] <Keres> yeah i think so
[02:35] <Dylan> now the error message is the same, but it says unable to chdir() to /home/lazy/
[02:35] <holstein> Keres: sounds great.. try an android channel if you are having issues on that side
[02:35] <dr_willis> dylan you dont seem to undersstand linux paths... /home/lazy would be the user 'lazy' home directory
[02:35] <Keres> yeah but it would be much better if i could also have audacity and chibitracker
[02:35] <Keres> not complainin...
[02:35] <Keres> just sayin
[02:35] <somsip> Dylan: Is that where it's installed? Maybe,,,maybe I'll stop saying what dr_willis has already said ;)
[02:35] <dr_willis> dylan if the dir is in your USERS home the path would be /home/YOURUSERNAME/lazy
[02:35] <Keres> ok guys thanks again
[02:36] <dr_willis> dylan it may be worth the time to read a few bash beginner guides to understandd the path nameing system.
[02:37] <Dylan> welp, dr_willis and somsip, you guys solved it! i needed to update the full path. when I included /home/username/lazy it started with no issues. really appreciate your help. I'm going to read some more basic terminal info to learn from this!
[02:37] <Dylan> thanks so much for both of your help.
[02:37] <somsip> Dylan: no worries
[02:38] <Guest4770> Hello, I've had weird problems with package installation lately
[02:38] <Guest4770> I had to reverse to an old version of tzdata to install eclipse
[02:38] <Guest4770> and was never able to install libsdl
[02:38] <Guest4770> i tought 12.04 was stable
[02:39] <somsip> Guest4770: how did you install eclipse?
[02:39] <Guest4770> i used aptitude
[02:39] <holstein> !12.04
[02:39] <Guest4770> and it reversed tzdata package to an older version
[02:39] <somsip> !aptitude
[02:39] <somsip> Guest4770: so that *could* be it
[02:39] <Guest4770> well
[02:39] <Guest4770> apt -get was just saying no
[02:40] <dr_willis> Hmm. i cant imagine why  it would use an older tzdata package
[02:40] <dr_willis> !info eclipse
[02:40] <Guest4770> is there a way i can clean everything apt related and restart from a clean package list then. (without aptitude)
[02:41] <dr_willis> you are on a 32bit of 64bit insstall Guest4770 ?
[02:41] <korsakof> !info ubottu
[02:41] <Guest4770> 64 bit
[02:42] <Guest4770> i've never had problems like these on ubuntu before
[02:42] <Guest4770> or fedora
[02:42] <OptimizedCoder> guys, when I use rdp to connect to my ubuntu machine, I spawn an X session (thats new), I guess by default ubuntu uses lightDM (coz I can see LightDM running underneath), correct?
[02:42] <dirte> anyone have recommendations for a good php editor on ubuntu? I've been trying Bluefish but it's like php is an afterthought
[02:42] <SonikkuAmerica> OptimizedCoder: unless you're using Lubuntu, which uses lxdm
[02:42] <SonikkuAmerica> or Openbox
[02:42] <Guest4770> oh, I am using Xubuntu, does it make any difference?
[02:42] <somsip> dirte: netbeans here for a few years
[02:42] <OptimizedCoder> SonikkuAmerica, hmm - whats the defualt for ubuntu gdm ?
[02:43] <OptimizedCoder> or unity
[02:43] <OptimizedCoder> ?
[02:43] <OptimizedCoder> I'm on 11.10
[02:43] <dr_willis> Lightdm is the default login manager.. Unity  is the default desktop
[02:43] <SonikkuAmerica> OptimizedCoder: In U/Ku/Xu/Edu/Mythbuntu, it's lighdm
[02:43] <SonikkuAmerica> *lightdm
[02:43] <OptimizedCoder> dr_willis, got it..
[02:44] <SonikkuAmerica> OptimizedCoder: Ubuntu GNOME uses gdm
[02:44] <OptimizedCoder> so, my question is this
[02:44] <dirte> i'm installing netbeans thanks somsip
[02:45] <OptimizedCoder> I RDP, spawn a new X sesssion and everythign looks good - but my right-click does not work there
[02:45] <somsip> dirte: it's not the lightest out there, so it's worth trying others
[02:45] <OptimizedCoder> Maybe I should look at the Xsession logs.. ?
[02:45] <OptimizedCoder> is it the  .xsession-errors ?
[02:45] <somsip> dirte: and last I looked the repo version was stuck at about 6.9 but it's at 7.3 now. OT
[02:46]  * OptimizedCoder thought NetBeans was long dead
[02:47] <somsip> OptimizedCoder: new version a week or so ago would disagree. OT
[02:47] <OptimizedCoder> somsip, yeah I just moved on
[02:48] <OptimizedCoder> somsip, the swing/UI support for Java was good in Netbeans though
[02:49] <ubulove> I have a desktop pc 4 years old with 1GB of ram DDR2. What do you suggest ? Installing Lubuntu and stay with 1GB of ram or buy more DDR2 ram ? If available still in stock.
[02:49] <OptimizedCoder> SonikkuAmerica, dr_willis, guys any answer to X related query?
[02:49] <tigrang> When I enabled "Use system title bar and borders" in chrome, after I maximize once then restore, the window borders and window action (close, minimize, maximize) dont work any longer, they click through to the window behind them
[02:49] <dr_willis> OptimizedCoder:  i dont really use rdp so no idea why it would act that way
[02:49] <OptimizedCoder> ubulove, got to fleabay, you cna get good deals on old/used DDR2 RAM
[02:50] <OptimizedCoder> on the cheap
[02:50] <SonikkuAmerica> OptimizedCoder: It's Xorg.#.log, but I forgot its location... dr_willis?
[02:50] <dr_willis>  /var/log/ would be most all the logs
[02:50]  * OptimizedCoder wonders if there is an X server channel on FreeNode
[02:50] <dr_willis> or in the users home
[02:50] <ubulove> OptimizedCoder: thanks man, but if I choose to stay with 1GB of ram because it's an old PC will I be OK with Lubuntu ?
[02:50] <dr_willis> lubuntu works well on low end systems
[02:50] <PaulCollin> >ubulove< i have ddr2 rams, i can send them from international post.
[02:51] <ubulove> PaulCollin: hehe thanks but I will see :P
[02:52] <somsip> ubulove: I use lubuntu under virtualbox with less ram and it seems fine.
[02:52] <OptimizedCoder> ubulove, I guess you should be good with Lubuntu, but I'd look at other stripped-down distros
[02:52] <PaulCollin> >ubulove< but i think if you install lubuntu, you dont need them. :) i think its enaugh
[02:52] <SonikkuAmerica> ubulove: I dunno, what does Xubuntu say you need?
[02:52] <learnLinx> Using 12.04  sound is really screwed up..  Headphones on speaker gives sound, speakers on, no sound unless I plug in headphones.  Unplug headphones when done and sound comes out of the speakers with the headphones showing in the settings..  It seems backwards
[02:53] <ubulove> wooowww, thank you all for your replies!!!
[02:53] <learnLinx> AND,  sound is not really that good/
[02:53] <OptimizedCoder> interestingly I have this /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log
[02:54] <SonikkuAmerica> learnLinx: Sounds like you're having issues with the new PulseAudio.
[02:54] <ubulove> PaulCollin, I will use it with 1GB ram and see. Thank you :)
[02:54] <learnLinx> How to fix it3
[02:54] <ubulove> OptimizedCoder, I just love ubuntu :D
[02:54] <OptimizedCoder> ubulove, if not apparent from that handle...
[02:55] <ubulove> SonikkuAmerica: I like Lubuntu than Xubuntu :D Less resources.
[02:55] <learnLinx> I have beats audio and the sound really isnt great in linux. Windows its REALLY Awsome.. anything I can do to help it along
[02:55] <ubulove> somsip, alright :D goooood then !
[02:55] <OptimizedCoder> beats audio.. all your credibility is tossed out the window at this point ..
[02:55] <OptimizedCoder> :D
[02:55] <SonikkuAmerica> learnLinx: Try [ sudo apt-get install pavucontrol ] in terminal, then start it by typing [ pavucontrol ] and just messing with the volume in there
[02:56] <learnLinx> THX
[02:56] <SonikkuAmerica> ubulove: I haz no choice... I use Studio (which comes with stock XFCE)
[02:57] <ubulove> SonikkuAmerica: hehehe okay! :D
[02:57] <OptimizedCoder> hmm - no errors from the xrdp session log, I might need to look at the X sessions' log
[02:57] <SonikkuAmerica> Beats me why Studio couldn't migrate to MATE
[02:57] <SonikkuAmerica> But XFCE rocks all the same.
[02:57] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: its not in the repos
[02:58] <SonikkuAmerica> holstein: True... :\
[02:58] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: we chose xfce because it was the most like the older gnome2 look/feel.. and the most stable, and the xubuntu team is *very* helpful
[02:58] <holstein> SonikkuAmerica: you can use our packages with the DE of your choice...
[02:58] <SonikkuAmerica> Not that I had qualms against XFCE of course.
[02:59] <SonikkuAmerica> holstein: And yes, you're probably right, not to mention they're making the slowest transition to GTK+ 3 (for fluency)
[03:00] <dirte> hey somsip in netbeans i go to create a new project and it just has java types available no php, do I have to add any php modules or something?
[03:00] <SonikkuAmerica> and the xubuntu team is *very* helpful <<< Yes, especially Pasi Lallinaho
[03:01] <learnLinx> been through all the sound settings and still only get the 2 front speakers.. there is 4
[03:03] <SonikkuAmerica> Four speakers, you say? The next thing to do is run [ alsamixer ] and see if that works instead.
[03:04] <learnLinx> K Ill install it
[03:04] <somsip> dirte: you need to install the PHP plugins, or you can download the .sh that just installs PHP without the Java stuff. Depends on how you will use the IDE
[03:04] <Guest4770> okay guys, I've fixed it by resetting my sources.list manually
[03:05] <Guest4770> it seems it got corrupted when i deactivated the restricted repo
[03:05] <learnLinx> So... should I remove pulse audio or keep both pulse and alsa??
[03:05] <raj> how do I get apt-cache search to show me if a package is installed?
[03:05] <dirte> thx i'm reading more on the netbeans site now
[03:06] <SonikkuAmerica> learnLinx: all you have to do is switch it: http://howto.blbosti.com/2010/04/ubuntu-make-alsa-default-instead-of-pulseaudio/
[03:06] <boston62> if your running Ubuntu 12.04 on a server, can you use the dvd drive on the PC connecting to the server? Thanks
[03:06] <SonikkuAmerica> (Ignore the part about gnome-desktop, but if it removes ubuntu-desktop, don't worry, it's "just a dummy package"
[03:06] <SonikkuAmerica> )
[03:06] <holstein> also, try pavucontrol learnLinx
[03:06] <learnLinx> SonikkuAmerica Thanks for the help
[03:07] <learnLinx> holstein  thx also
[03:07] <SonikkuAmerica> I told him that holstein. It only works for his 2 front speakers.
[03:07] <SonikkuAmerica> Quoting: <learnLinx> been through all the sound settings and still only get the 2 front speakers.. there is 4
[03:08] <SonikkuAmerica> Aw crap... I was about to direct him to a better link... :\
[03:10] <raj> how do I get apt-cache search to show me if a package is installed?
[03:12] <drkphoenix> my computer says (initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file syste. When i try to book it it is an inspiron  intel core i5
[03:13] <Ponch0> woah i5 fancy pants
[03:13] <SonikkuAmerica> drkphoenix, can you explain what you mean by "book it"?
[03:13] <Ponch0> he probably means boot
[03:13] <drkphoenix> boot it sorry spelled it wrong.
[03:14] <SonikkuAmerica> Oh. Well, let's go through the standard checklist?
[03:14] <SonikkuAmerica> *:
[03:14] <drkphoenix> ok
[03:14] <escott> drkphoenix, did it ever work? any recent updates or changes?
[03:15] <love_> raj: I think apt-cache is not quite what you want to use.  it seems like apt-cache is more for checking dependencies.  you can use aptitude to find out what is installed.... synaptic is a nice GUI and has a really easy way to check.
[03:15] <drkphoenix> yes it did work. I recently had to whip my computer because of issues and so i tried to reinstall it with the same disk i installed it with before. Now that error is coming up
[03:15] <drkphoenix> wipe*
[03:16] <somsip> drkphoenix: 'whip' created a more evocative image...
[03:16] <drkphoenix> wipe*
[03:16] <escott> drkphoenix, if you boot the livecd and download the boot-info-script from sourceforge and run that it will probably tell us enough to figure out what is going on
[03:17] <SonikkuAmerica> somsip: I know right? (drkphoenix, you don't need to repeat yourself)
[03:17] <SonikkuAmerica> somsip: But hey, give him a break... autocorrect gets in the way sometimes :P
[03:17] <drkphoenix> how do i download the boot-info-script from sourceforge
[03:18] <escott> drkphoenix, http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[03:19] <drkphoenix> i can not get to my desk top to download it
[03:20] <escott> drkphoenix, livecd
[03:21] <chro> I deleted a file by mistake with the rm command, how can I recover it?
[03:21] <escott> chro, you probably cant
[03:21] <escott> !undelete | chro
[03:21] <chro> ok
[03:22] <drkphoenix> yes well then if it is suppose to be on the live disk it is not on this one
[03:22] <zltan> hello, I recently encountered slow wireless connections, and the culprit seemed to be the dhcpcd.
[03:22] <escott> drkphoenix, no it is not on the livecd thats why you need to download it
[03:23] <drkphoenix> i can not download it to the disk it wont let me download anything else to the disk
[03:24] <zltan> i identified a while back that the MTU value for wlan0 has always been 576, which is unreasonable.
[03:25] <zltan> has anyone ever experienced a similar issue?
[03:26] <escott> drkphoenix, you should be able to download it to the desktop and run it from there
[03:27] <drkphoenix> i can not get to the desktop to do it not on my computer i am not talking to you from my computer
[03:27] <dirte> my wireless was acting weird today had to reboot and fixed it
[03:28] <amigamia> hi trying to install the locale language on a 10.04 server sudo apt-get install language-pack-en however its not locating it
[03:28] <escott> drkphoenix, you wont be able to do anything until you boot your install media/livecd
[03:29] <drkphoenix> i have the liveCD i have one already installed on to a disk
[03:30] <drkphoenix> when i try to install it from the disk it comes up with the error but i can not get to the computers desk top so therefore i can not download boot info script i can not download it on the live disk or the desktop
[03:30] <bmorriso> Is there an Ultrabook that supports dual displays?  And obviously amazing support for Ubuntu? Like the XPS 13?
[03:33] <escott> drkphoenix, if you are having trouble booting the livecd you need to give specifics
[03:35] <drkphoenix> i did when i first came in here i do apologize since i was informed not to repeat myself when i boot it up it says busybox v1.13.3 built-in shell (ash ) unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[03:35] <dr_willis> bmorriso:  i  thought system76 sold a ubuntu ultrabook
[03:36] <amigamia> something wrong with pastebin.ca?
[03:36] <amigamia> is there another pastebin?
[03:36] <dr_willis> pastebin.org perhaps
[03:36] <dr_willis> !pastebin
[03:37] <amigamia> can someone look at this? i just bought a vps for something i needed to test out http://pastebin.fr/26804
[03:37] <amigamia> dr_willis i went francias :D
[03:38] <dr_willis> you might want to summarize the issue a bit more for the channel.
[03:38] <escott> drkphoenix, yes you are in the initramfs. if you knew what you were doing you could maybe figure out how to fix things from there, but you don't because most people dont. so boot your install media and select try ubuntu. download the boot-info-script and run it for us
[03:38] <amigamia> as my earlier post i cant do my locale
[03:38] <dirte> somsip: i'm loving netbeans :) thanks, gnight
[03:39] <bmorriso> dr_willis: 14", 4.5lb, with 720p display. Would like 13", 3lb or less and better display.
[03:39] <drkphoenix> how am i suppose to download the boot-info-script if i cant download it on a disk or on the computer thats having problems
[03:39] <jaydubs> hello, i could use some help dl'ing a package. if i try libdb4.8-dev with apt-get its says it cant locate the package. so i try to download it here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libdb4.8-dev, but it suggests package manner. do i have to enable something for apt to see it? -thanks
[03:39] <dr_willis> bmorriso:  i havent looked at laptops in ages.. and dont plan on buying one  any time soon.
[03:39] <amigamia> i am using sudo apt-get install language-pack-en-base
[03:40] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  you do have the src repos enabled?
[03:40] <dr_willis> !find libdb4.8-dev
[03:40] <dr_willis> !find libdb4.8
[03:40] <escott> drkphoenix, boot the install media. there really isnt anything else i can say
[03:41] <amigamia> then doctor willis i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[03:41] <jaydubs> dr_willis: libdb4o8.0-cil?
[03:41] <drkphoenix> i do and no matter what i pick or click on after i boot the live disk it goes to that problem
[03:41] <somsip> dirte: cool
[03:41] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  thats what the bot found..
[03:41] <amigamia> dr_willis i get cat: /etc/default/locale: No such file or directory
[03:42] <jaydubs> sorry. i am unfamiliar with the "bot"
[03:42] <dr_willis> all i know about locale would be from the !locale factoid.. i dont use the feature
[03:42] <dr_willis> !locale
[03:42] <dr_willis> !bot
[03:42] <jaydubs> didnt like
[03:42] <jaydubs> archlinux invent that or something
[03:42] <histo> jaydubs: invent what?
[03:43] <dr_willis> be a bit more verbose in your infomation and comments  :) it helps
[03:43] <chicognu> i wrote my password in a .txt, but guess what ? i forgot where the .txt is... how do i found it ?
[03:44] <amigamia> I fixed it Herr Doktor :D
[03:44] <histo> chicognu: do you know what hte password is?
[03:44] <tigrang> If I maximize a window then restore it, I can no longer Close/Maximize/Minimize it with the window actions in the top left.
[03:44] <chicognu> histo, I don't know what is hte, but i know a part of the txt
[03:44] <ammini> locate
[03:45] <histo> s/hte/the/
[03:45] <histo> chicognu: find . -iname 'partyouknow' -type f -print 0
[03:46] <drkphoenix> does anyone know how to fix this problem without boot info script since i can not use it
[03:46] <histo> chicognu: assuming you know part of the file name.
[03:46] <histo> chicognu: if you know part of it's contents you could use grep to find it
[03:46] <jaydubs> noted. so im better off downloading the bot's suggestioin then trying to enable "sources" ? im on ec2 right now and the sources.list says add to sources.list.d - but there is no file in there
[03:46] <chicognu> histo, i know part of the text inside the file
[03:46] <chicognu> histo, how i do it ?
[03:47] <somsip> grep -ir 'partialpassword' .
[03:47] <chicognu> with out anything else ?
[03:47] <chicognu> Someguy123,
[03:47] <chicognu> somsip,
[03:47] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  the sources.list file is for the standard ubuntu repos. theres 'src' repos that are commendted out by default for many of the developer/source code packages. since most people dont need them
[03:48] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  sources.list.d/ is a directory where your PPA information file sare stored
[03:48] <histo> chicognu: grep -l -i "partialpassword" .
[03:48] <somsip> chicognu: if you are in your home dir, type that command
[03:48] <somsip> chicognu: assuming you saved the file somewhere in your home
[03:48] <chicognu> somsip, somewhere in the home and sub dir ?
[03:49] <somsip> chicognu: yes
[03:49] <escott> chicognu, grepping everything can be slow. if you know it was a *.txt you can --include="*.txt"
[03:49] <chicognu> cool
[03:50] <somsip> escott: good point
[03:50] <chicognu> grep -ir 'mypass' --include="*.txt"
[03:50] <chicognu> this way ?
[03:51] <jaydubs> dr_willis: alright so in order to get the package i first asked about i need to uncomment something in source.list?
[03:51] <somsip> chicognu: . at the end (full stop, period)
[03:51] <escott> chicognu, it will still want a "." at the very end (and sometimes you have to flip things around maybe the --include needs to come first)
[03:51] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  whats the exact package name you are interestgged in?
[03:51] <histo> chicognu: grep --include="*.txt" -irl "somepassword" .
[03:51] <jaydubs> i just saw this: deb http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu/ lucid main
[03:52] <jaydubs> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/amd64/libdb4.8-dev/download
[03:52] <chicognu> i really need to learn bash script
[03:52] <escott> well thats not bash... thats just grep
[03:52] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  a 'apt-cache search libdb' should show package names
[03:52] <fuleo> trying to do mounting... sudo mount -t smbfs //mynetworklocation/ /mnt/networkstuff
[03:52] <chicognu> escott, and that period at the and ?
[03:52] <fuleo> but am getting unknown filesystem type error
[03:53] <escott> chicognu, is the current working directory (to tell grep where to start searching from)
[03:53] <chicognu> grep --include="*.txt" -irl "gato" .
[03:53] <dr_willis> !info libdb4.8-dev
[03:53] <histo> chicognu: will you please type the friggen command
[03:53] <fuleo> how do i tell what kind of fs the network path is... ?
[03:53] <amigamia> how do you turn off apache cause i am using tomcat6 for this project and i need these ports freed
[03:53] <dr_willis> !info lucid libdb4.8-dev
[03:53] <tigrang> If I maximize a window then restore it, I can no longer Close/Maximize/Minimize it with the window action. Double clicking the title bar does nothing. I have to do gtk-window-decorator --replace to get the functionality back.
[03:54] <histo> fuleo: I don't believe you can.
[03:54] <buck_> hello,anybody knows how can i replace a item in a text file globally?
[03:54] <dr_willis> !info libdb4.8-dev lucid
[03:54] <histo> fuleo: try cifs
[03:54] <histo> fuleo: smbfs is deprecated
[03:54] <dr_willis> buck_:  sed or awk are normally used for that sort of task
[03:55] <histo> buck_: whats the item that you want to replace?
[03:55] <jaydubs> dr_willis: yea i dont see it with that command- so my choices are to get the pkg the bot suggested, enable the repo that has it,  or download it manually.
[03:55] <jaydubs> what do you suggest
[03:55] <chicognu> histo, i did :D now i'm just waiting ...
[03:55] <chicognu> tks all
[03:55] <chicognu> :D
[03:55] <histo> chicognu: np
[03:55] <dr_willis> jaydubs:  you are using 'lucid' ? its in the MAIN repository. if you dont see that.. you got somthing very weird going on.
[03:56] <chicognu> grep --include="*.txt" -irl "gato" . is returning to much things :(
[03:56] <escott> chicognu, other things you could do
[03:57] <escott> chicognu, if the file only had the password its going to be very small. you could use find to find smaller files and then limit your grep to those files
[03:57] <histo> chicognu: it will include all txt files under the current path recursively with the word gato in it.
[03:58] <histo> buck_: sed -ie s/item/replace/g somefile.foo
[03:59] <EpicDuck> help
[04:00] <escott> histo, buck_ i think it needs to be sed -i -e 's/pattern/replacement/g' filename
[04:00] <EpicDuck> I am wanting to know what do i need to develop apps for ubuntu
[04:00] <chicognu> escott, how ? something like find *txt -n 100kb ?
[04:00] <EpicDuck> like develop apps for ubuntu on a windows machien
[04:00] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  id suggest running ubuntu in  virtualbox
[04:00] <chicognu> escott, how ? something like find *txt -n 100kb | grep gato?
[04:00] <EpicDuck> how would i make apps for ubuntu though?
[04:00] <escott> chicognu, something like. find . -iname "*.txt" -n ???? -exec grep gato {} \;
[04:01] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  using a programing language  that you know.
[04:01] <EpicDuck> I have visual basic 2010 but somebody with wine told me that the program don't run in wine
[04:01] <dr_willis> forget about visual basic.. learn a better language
[04:01] <dr_willis> Python is good to start with
[04:01] <GentSir> EpicDuck, Python is great for beginners
[04:01] <EpicDuck> Python that sh!t is old as dirt
[04:02] <IdleOne> !language | EpicDuck
[04:02] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  as is C and C++... so your  point is?
[04:02] <GentSir> EpicDuck, BASIC is older
[04:02] <poee> Hi. How do I Allow executing as a program on a mounted drive?
[04:02] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  and i have used 'basic' since the vic-20 days
[04:02] <EpicDuck> I will not watch my language it is my bloody rights. Freedom of Speech.
[04:02] <poee> .......
[04:02] <escott> poee, you have to disable "user" mounting since user implies "noexec"
[04:02] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  no its not a right... behave or leave.
[04:03] <tigrang> don't fight it EpicDuck
[04:03] <poee> escott, how do I do that?
[04:03] <escott> !fstab | poee
[04:03] <EpicDuck> F*CK OFF dr_willis or i will ddos you. ;)
[04:03] <GentSir> EpicDuck, this may be a semi-public area, but freenode owns the servers. If they and the channel operators don't want cussing, just respect that.
[04:03] <dr_willis> EpicDuck:  time to grow up i think.
[04:03] <Physicist> how can I accept the upgrade or installation of some program without confirm every time? for example: (y or n) - I have to press y and ENTER.. I do not like it..
[04:03] <Darkenvy> I'm trying to enable multiple monitor on this gnome3 settup. but nvidia-settings doesnt let me
[04:04] <dr_willis> Physicist:  apt tools often have a -y option i belive
[04:04] <Physicist> dr_willis: So, I just put -y.. I will try!
[04:05] <dr_willis> Physicist:  check the man pages for whattever tool you are using.. Im pretty sure its -y  or --yes   but that can be a somewhat dangerouts option
[04:05] <tigrang> If I maximize a window then restore it, I can no longer Close/Maximize/Minimize it with the window action. Double clicking the title bar does nothing. I have to do gtk-window-decorator --replace to get the functionality back. Doesn't look like its a config file in my home dir, I created a new user and the same issue. I reinstalled all of unity/compiz same thing. What else can I do?
[04:06] <dr_willis> reinstalling stuff to 'fix' things - is a windows mind set.. sounds like gtk-window-decorator is crashing for ssome reason
[04:06] <Physicist> dr_willis: -y works perfectly.. I did not had to accept..
[04:07] <Physicist> dr_willis: Thank you.
[04:09] <andyz> hi buch
[04:09] <andyz> hi buck
[04:09] <andyz> 有人懂中文么
[04:10] <Physicist> I find the perfect O.S.for me.. Scientific Linux.. Awsome.. I am downloading.
[04:10] <Physicist> 4GB - OMG..
[04:11] <dr_willis> OMG Ponies? ;)
[04:11] <dr_willis> i doubt if theres much  it has that you cant install on a normal ubuntu install
[04:12] <buck_> there're lot of stuff you do not need.
[04:14] <andyz> How to replace a string in vi mode
[04:14] <escott> andyz, esc-colon s/regex/replace/g
[04:15] <dr_willis> Lovely - DigitalDuck seems to be tryng to DDOS my  VPS.  ....
[04:15] <escott> andyz, esc-colon N,Ms/regex/replace/g for between lines N and M
[04:15] <dr_willis> vi and grep would use almost the same syntax i think andyz
[04:15] <tigrang> dr_willis, is he succeeding?
[04:16] <Rogach> Hello! Is there a way list packages, that depend on certain package?
[04:16] <dr_willis> tigrang:  cant say that ive noticed much sucess other then faill2ban banning 20+ ips now..
[04:16] <tigrang> heh
[04:17] <dr_willis> such a handy tool.. highly reccomended
[04:17] <holstein> Rogach: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ lists that
[04:19] <Rogach> holstein: Where? I searched for a package, found it's page, but there are only the package dependencies.
[04:24] <Alysum> hello is there a way to foce and apt-get upgrade to use the local file in the case of a conflict
[04:25] <tigrang> dr_willis, well my logs aren't giving me much about what's going on. After I do gtk-window-decorator --replace, syslog has gtk-window-deco[3746]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f18c42ed415 sp 00007fffa2e44820 error 4 in libwnck-1.so.22.3.31. Dont really know what to do
[04:34] <audio> how do i reinstall the latest stable kernel? tried to update to 3.8.1 with 12.10, got stuck on the pw screen with nouveou errors.. so i purged the image to go back and having issues since
[04:34] <zmn1> hey guys
[04:35] <peawormsworth> i would like to try installing ubuntu from a minimal install. and then download all packages from there.
[04:35] <zmn1> i'm trying to figure out what type of file this file is
[04:35] <IdleOne> !minimal | peawormsworth
[04:35] <peawormsworth> I am curious if there is a particular ordering in which packages should be installed?
[04:35] <zmn1> when i do "file filename" all i get as a result is "file type: data"
[04:36] <audio> how do you remove a kernel you just installed..
[04:36] <zmn1> i'm not very good with hexdump or od -c...any suggestions on how to find out/read the content of it?
[04:37] <quick-> audio : rmmod <module name>
[04:37] <audio> ty, is that any different from sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.8.1*
[04:38] <audio> or the same thing?
[04:38] <peawormsworth> IdleOne: Im actual installing from "core" as seen here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily/current/  ... which i have not tried doing yet. So its not really a mini.iso with a text based interface. Instead I want to install by using chroot and manually calling apt-get from the terminal if possible.
[04:38] <quick-> As far as i know purge will delete the config files and all the data but rmmod will only remove the runnning kernel module from the kernel table
[04:38] <audio> cause i purged it, then reboot.. now i'm getting like sluggish usb mouse usage, and tears/rendering in the boot loading screen
[04:39] <quick-> audio : As far as i know purge will delete the config files and all the data but rmmod will only remove the runnning kernel module from the kernel table
[04:39] <audio> alright, thank you
[04:39] <IdleOne> peawormsworth: I have never done that either, not sure where you would start
[04:39] <quick-> audio: Cheers :)
[04:40] <peawormsworth> IdleOne: Im just going to try it... but my question remains: is the ordering of package installation an important consideration? Or just call apt-get install with all packages at once?
[04:40] <dr_willis> peawormsworth:  i seem to recall in the apt-get manuals that the order dosent matter
[04:40] <peawormsworth> great i will give this a try. thanks all.
[04:41] <dr_willis> peawormsworth:  assuming you are doing it all on one apt-get command line.. you can even install and remove packages from the same command
[04:43] <audio> dang, i guess purge removed mod too, don't see it in /proc/modules. how would i go about finding out why its runnins so sluggish all of a sudden using the 3.5 kern
[04:43] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: interesting... i didnt know that. thx
[04:44] <audio> cpu fans running on high, nothing being used looking in top or htop..
[04:44] <dr_willis> peawormsworth:  i havent rered the apt docs in ages.. so i may  be confused about some of the features. ;:)   i dident really  see where a lot of the adavanced features would be that handy for me.
[04:44] <audio> usb mouse running real laggy, but touchpad works with no lag.. doesn't make sense o.o
[04:45] <dr_willis> audio:  they always running high from the first boot? or does it happen after  the system is up for some time?
[04:45] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: yeah. seems dangerous maybe to add and purge packages at once while you can put both commands on on line with a semicolon between them.
[04:45] <audio> dr_willis both honestly.
[04:45] <dr_willis> audio:  i recall some X server/driver bugs that caused slowdowns afer a long uptime during my beta testing.. a restart of the X server would perk it back up to normal speeds. but that may not be the case for you
[04:46] <audio> dr_willis, i tried installing kernel 3.8.1 and it didn't work, so i purged the image and went back to 3.5.. and been sluggish since then.. been running about 20 minutes now
[04:46] <IdleOne> peawormsworth: it would only run the second command after the first completes
[04:46] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: also it seems apt-get does post package config one at  a time, so putting multiple packages on a single line only really seems to save typing... not processing speed.
[04:46] <dr_willis> peawormsworth:  i recall you  can do an apt-get install packagefoo  purge package2
[04:46] <audio> yea i rebooted a 2nd time to see if it would perk up, but working the same.. and lil things like if i load home or any folder, it will stay on loading icon until i hover over the titlebar
[04:46] <audio> then it loads right up
[04:46] <dr_willis> peawormsworth:  no need to do 2 commands.
[04:47] <audio> but neither of my cpus are doing more than 8%
[04:47] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: for exxample... ive seen apt-get call "update-initram" multiple times... from a single apt-get command. When really this only needs to be done one time if it waited until the end .
[04:48] <audio> is there a benchmark test or so to test the gpu card and the cpu's? to find out if it's hardware issues
[04:48] <peawormsworth> i think mining for bitcoin will test ur gpu... but not sure if it gives u wat ur looking for.
[04:49] <IdleOne> dr_willis: even so, it would run the install first before doing the purge.
[04:49] <dr_willis> i thought some of the benchmark web sites had a linxu  suite
[04:49] <audio> not sure, only been a linux user bout a month now..
[04:50] <audio> i would assume it would test the same as using win
[04:50] <dr_willis> I recall some blog postings a year or so ago where pcmark? or some other  big name benchmarking  software was now on linux
[04:50] <audio> ya pcmark was a big one
[04:50] <peawormsworth> audio: when my computer is slow... the first things i do is "df -h" to see if a disk is 98% full or more.
[04:50] <audio> i always just used the tests on nvidia website
[04:51] <peawormsworth> audio: then I check tail the logs to see if something is reporting errors like crazy.
[04:51] <audio> ell mines using 3%
[04:51] <dr_willis> dmesg may  show some issues causing slowdownms..
[04:51] <peawormsworth> audio: also i run "top" or better "htop" if u installed that. To check process is hogging memory... like u already did.
[04:51] <audio> yea ive been watching both .. i use htop
[04:51] <audio> and nothings hogging memory either
[04:52] <audio> every now and then xorg will jump up to 90%, but doesnt stay long.
[04:52] <Physicist> How can I change my APU? So tiny: 3500 with radeon 6620G - I want more.
[04:52] <audio> and i've never once seen swap move above 0 in any linux, so i assume my memory is fine
[04:52] <peawormsworth> audio: its kinda normal to see processes jump up and down.. that seems ok. I would definately check HD space.
[04:53] <Physicist> Oh.. AMD.. Oh.. AMD.. I love you, meantime, my hardware is sox!!
[04:53] <dr_willis> i cant say ive really noticed real full HD space cause slowdowns in linux. ;)
[04:53] <peawormsworth> audio: sometimes on a new install... u might accidentally set a partition to small.
[04:53] <audio> yeah. i have plenty of HD space.. i thought maybe it was corrupt so i tried my other HD, and same prob.. so i cant think of what else to look for
[04:53] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: if u run servers that are in use... you will see this occur when the log files fill up. I see it a lot. Also, if you do a lot of video... it can fill up easy.
[04:53] <audio> ya i have almost a tb in one hd empty, and like 280 out of 300 in this one
[04:54] <audio> so its def not space
[04:54] <dr_willis> audio:  try a difffernt desktop like Lubuntu -  and see if its also slow.
[04:54] <peawormsworth> dr_willis: it will effect computer speed.
[04:54] <audio> tried that too willis
[04:54] <audio> the only 2 that ive found that does this the least, is mint 14 kde and ubuntu 12.10
[04:54] <audio> would a faulty battery cause it to do that? even if plugged in
[04:54] <dr_willis> audio:  almost sounds like some kernel/driver issue
[04:55] <dr_willis> Hmm. got a CPU monitor going shoing the cpu speeds?
[04:55] <audio> cause once i took out the battery, left it plugged in and it seemed to stop the prob..
[04:55] <audio> no not atm, just re-installed
[04:55] <dr_willis> could be its throttling back the cpu  for some odd reason
[04:55] <audio> yea, is there a script or app on ubuntu to set cpu speeds
[04:55] <audio> or turn off some builtin throttle
[04:56] <dr_willis> theres some indicator-applets also  that let you  see the cpu speeds  on the top right icons..
[04:56] <dyan> thats only if you are using GNOME shell UI
[04:56] <audio> yea
[04:56] <audio> i havent seen them on unity
[04:56] <histo> audio: cpufreq-utils?  that stuff is all controlled by kernel now though.
[04:56] <audio> so far.
[04:56] <dr_willis> hmm.. the ones  i got work in gnome-shelkl or unity
[04:56] <dyan> on unity
[04:56] <audio> hm
[04:56] <dyan> you have to do it manually
[04:57] <dyan> theres a wensite that teach you how
[04:57] <peawormsworth> audio: that seems strange. You may want to mess with Setting->Power. I think there is a way to tell it not to save power (slow cpu) when your laptop is unplugged.
[04:57] <dyan> let me find it for you
[04:57] <dr_willis> actually  most all the indicator-applets i got seem to work in gnome-shell or unity.. and i recall seeing some work in lubuntu  also.
[04:57] <audio> will apt-get install gnome-shell add the latest?
[04:57] <histo> Yeah there is a frequency indicator applet that works fine can't remember the name of it at the moment.
[04:57] <audio> isnt lubuntu all lightweight and for notebooks or so?
[04:58] <histo> indicator-cpufreq
[04:58] <dr_willis> i use lubuntu on desktops as well ;)
[04:58] <audio> ya i was using some on mint, lil diff on unity
[04:58] <audio> hm
[04:58] <histo> audio: unity is light enough for notebooks
[04:58] <audio> got a link?
[04:58] <audio> i'll give it a shot
[04:58] <audio> cant hurt
[04:58] <FloodBot1> audio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:58] <audio> well i dont need light lol
[04:58] <histo> Man do people have no idea what we used to run linux on.
[04:58] <dr_willis> ;)
[04:58] <histo> audio: then just run ubuntu-desktop
[04:58] <audio> 6gigs mem and dual cpus/gpus
[04:59] <histo> I would run lubuntu on a 486
[04:59] <audio> hush bot no ones pasteing xD
[04:59] <peawormsworth> audio: yes it cant hurt, but it can take time. If the computer runs slow with battery plugged in and fast when plugged in... i would try to find out why that is.
[04:59] <audio> no runs same plugged or on bat peaw
[04:59] <peawormsworth> audio: o. i misread u. sry.
[05:00] <histo> audio: install indicator-cpufreq and monitor your cpu throttling. Alco you can cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:00] <audio> just the fan prob and sluggish usb so far. and the file manager acting like its lagging, but if i move mouse over the titlebar it snaps out of it
[05:00] <histo> audio: did you install proper video drivers/
[05:00] <audio> ok thx histo,
[05:00] <audio> that i have yet to been able to accomplish on any linux i've tried.
[05:01] <audio> ive had about 8 walkthrous personally. about 6 guides.. and even remotely tried by a good tech friendf
[05:01] <audio> have yet to get nvidia drivers to work correctly on this laptop
[05:01] <dr_willis> and here i just do a 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' and reboot.. and it works.. ;)
[05:01] <audio> lucky you ;P
[05:01] <audio> i got 9700m gts
[05:01] <audio> geforce
[05:02] <dr_willis> I dont even keep up with video card stuff these days.. that an old card or a very  new one? ;)
[05:02] <audio> ive tried nvidias walkthroughs to the t man,. and i almost had it working on kde once
[05:02] <audio> it actually booted anyway.
[05:02] <audio> older.. in the toshiba qosmio x708's
[05:02] <audio> about 9 years old
[05:02] <dr_willis> i would be suprised if the current nvidia drivers had support for it.
[05:02] <audio> actually it's still one of the best cards they made
[05:02] <audio> it's listed under all their new drivers
[05:03] <audio> one of the highest clocked gpus to this day
[05:03] <audio> if you ever get bored, google toshiba qosmio x708
[05:03] <dyan> nah man
[05:03] <dr_willis> i  belie  i had a 9600 ages ago... but i dont keep up with HW news/specs/ any more
[05:03] <audio> their beast's
[05:03] <dyan> get sony series t
[05:03] <dyan> ultrabook
[05:03] <audio> lol
[05:03] <jaequery> ot: anyone know if there is any way to perform multiple simultaneous curl calls? like 10+ at once?
[05:04] <audio> my wife has one of the newer ones and i still smoke her in benchmarks
[05:04] <peawormsworth> i would like to use a ubuntu 3rd party ppa. But for security I would like to verify the source against the original source on the main site. Is there a simple way to do this?
[05:04] <dr_willis> I had a toshiba x???   it was a beast.. 2 hd. good video card.. ran games good.. sold it to my brother .. it weighed like 18 lbs with the powersupply
[05:04] <somsip> jaequery: on command line?
[05:04] <audio> she'll pull about 100 fps in games and ill be 150 or 200+
[05:04] <peawormsworth> or is there any other way to really keep tabs on the trustworthy nature of a 3rd party ppa?
[05:04] <audio> ya i loved it
[05:04] <audio> ya its huge willis lol
[05:04] <dyan> lo
[05:04] <audio> willis lemmie ask you this before i get out of ya'lls hair
[05:04] <dyan> not convenient if its big
[05:05] <audio> if i try apt-get install nvidia-current
[05:05] <dr_willis> dyan:  it ran crysis 2 decently  well. ;)  thats what mattered at the time
[05:05] <iFlip> does anyone here know about mount.cifs
[05:05] <jaequery> somsip: yes on cmd line
[05:05] <audio> and the boot fails on ubuntu, how can i recover without having to install all over?
[05:05] <audio> from tty or something
[05:05] <iFlip> i'm gonna shoot my brains out
[05:05] <dr_willis> audio:  go to the recovery console and remove the drivers
[05:05] <histo> !anyone | iFlip
[05:05] <audio> ive tried just deleting nvidia-current, and removing xorg.conf, but never got the boot fixed
[05:05] <dr_willis> iFlip:  give us some details
[05:05] <dyan> dr_willis: I just play LoL >><!
[05:06] <audio> hm
[05:06] <somsip> jaequery: I know of nothing - though I know it's possible with PHP curl. But this is not what you want
[05:06] <audio> just by doing that? apt remove nvidia-current
[05:06] <dr_willis> audio:  some times the noveau drivers may not get unblacklisted from what ive seen.
[05:06] <iFlip> Cause it's long winded and I wanted to find out if anyone even knows before I waste everyone's time
[05:06] <jaequery> yes i do know its possible in php, so im guessing it must be possible using standard libcurl
[05:06] <dr_willis> audio:  thats about it.. :) cant say ive had to fight with nvidia much   lately
[05:06] <jaequery> but how
[05:06] <audio> yeah, i've always tried manually blacklisting them,, once had the prob it didn't unblist
[05:06] <histo> iFlip: then dont' ask and don't get help.
[05:07] <audio> alrighty, thanks ima go see if i can break ubuntu and try out lubuntu ;P
[05:07] <audio> got a link for lubu?
[05:07] <somsip> jaequery: I suppose you can loop in bash and curl....& each request
[05:07] <iFlip> dr_willis I have two linux machines and I want to set the configuration in fstab to mount the other linux machines directories to folders I have created
[05:07] <histo> somsip: what about xargs
[05:07] <iFlip> I have all the configuration setup but I keep getting this error: mount error(6): No such device or address
[05:07] <histo> iFlip: I would use NFS but if you want to use cifs it's nto hard just install cifs-utils so you can mount
[05:08] <somsip> histo: you will need to tell me. I only know how to use xargs in limited situations
[05:08] <dr_willis> iFlip:  for linux to linux shares. you may want to look into NFS instead of samba.   also you may  want to use the samba servers ip# not the servers name in your fstab.
[05:08] <histo> somsip: actually that won't work. I'm trying to thgink of a way to have it fork
[05:08] <dr_willis> iFlip:  got a sample fstab entry for us to look at?
[05:08] <iFlip> I troed ip/servername and same output
[05:08] <somsip> histo: that's why I suggested backgrounding each call. Not ideal though.
[05:08] <iFlip> yeah coming up
[05:09] <histo> iFlip: or a mount command you are typing
[05:09] <somsip> jaequery: does ab support query params?
[05:09] <iFlip> http://hpaste.org/84464
[05:10] <peawormsworth>  if i wanted to verify the binary of a ppa file, could i compile the source myself and get an exact binary match of the files in their binary package?
[05:10] <audio> dr_willis, i wouldnt need nvidia-settings or xorg configue like on mint?
[05:10] <peawormsworth> or are there too many variables which may make slightly different binary outputs?
[05:10] <iFlip> I had this working two days ago, but this is a test machine to see if I can get everything working before production. After re-installing linux it don't work
[05:11] <histo> jaequery: for i in {1..10}; do nohup curl blah & done
[05:11] <iFlip> also would this make a difference http://hpaste.org/84465
[05:12] <somsip> jaequery: or if it's suitable, 'ab -c -n 10 http://{url}'
[05:12] <iFlip> I have dual nics and one is set to ip 10.10.10.110 gateway 10.10.10.254 --- the other is ip 10.10.10.111 gateway: none
[05:12] <iFlip> I know that's a networking question but it may be related
[05:13] <histo> iFlip: mount -t cifs //IPADDRESSOFSERVER /mnt   what error do you get
[05:13] <iFlip> histo lemme try
[05:14] <histo> iFlip: also does sudo smbtree   show the share?
[05:15] <iFlip> http://hpaste.org/84466 I get prompt for password and then the following
[05:16] <histo> iFlip: try sudo smbtree make sure the share is visible
[05:16] <iFlip> I typed smbtree http://hpaste.org/84467
[05:18] <histo> hrm.. Are you sure you are using the right username and pass?
[05:18] <histo> iFlip: and which version of samba is this?
[05:18] <histo> iFlip: You aren't using samba4 right?
[05:18] <iFlip> I FIGURED ITOUT
[05:18] <iFlip> Who suggested smbtree!!!!!
[05:18] <histo> iFlip: me
[05:19] <iFlip> O want to hug you forever and ever!
[05:19] <histo> iFlip: what was the issue
[05:19]  * histo runs
[05:19] <iFlip> /BLACKBOX-SERVER.local/blackbox-media this was the SAMBA share and this is what I was typing //BLACKBOX-SERVER/mnt/blackbox-media
[05:20] <iFlip> I needed to take out the MNT
[05:20] <iFlip> When I saw that not showing in the tree it hit me. Thank you so very much I've been doing this for hours and not noticing!!!!
[05:20] <histo> ahh yes sharenames are not the same as mount points
[05:20] <audio> blah, i just tried installing "apt-get install nvidia-current" then rebooted.. resolution now wont go higher than 1200, and the panel, dash or anything else did not load
[05:21] <audio> anyone have any ideas?
[05:21] <audio> had to load xchat thruough terminal o.o
[05:21] <audio> through
[05:21] <histo> audio: did you try using hardware tab and selecting the proper drivers?
[05:21] <iFlip> histo Thanks so very much for the thought to check that!
[05:21] <histo> iFlip: np
[05:21] <audio> histo no, not sure how to get to it from terminal, i cant see the dash or panel
[05:22] <histo> audio: jockey-text
[05:22] <iFlip> iFlip I should've come here first
[05:23] <audio> what did you say last histo? closed chat on accident
[05:23] <audio> jockey-text?
[05:23] <histo> audio: yes
[05:23] <histo> have to go for a bit i'm sure others will help
[05:24] <audio> not sure what you mean
[05:24] <audio> that the package to install?
[05:24] <histo> audio: command to run
[05:24] <audio> ya when i tried that
[05:24] <audio> it says a list of jockey-common to install
[05:25] <audio> The program 'jockey-text' can be found in the following packages:
[05:25] <audio>  * jockey-common
[05:25] <audio>  * jockey-common
[05:25] <audio> Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
[05:25] <FloodBot1> audio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:25] <audio> oops
[05:28] <psryn> hello
[05:28] <buck_> hello
[05:28] <psryn> anyone using chatzilla here?
[05:28] <buck_> i'm not sure.
[05:28] <rodicio> Hi, Im from Spain, (my english is not perfect ;) )   I have a Gforce 7000M.  It works with Vesa but if I install with "Aditional Drivers" the Nvidia driver Recommended it work worst
[05:28] <psryn> i have a problem with a chatzilla plugin
[05:28] <audio> anyone know anything about nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.10
[05:29] <psryn> i'll check chatzilla's channel just in case
[05:31] <accc> audio: whats the problem?
[05:32] <histo> !nvidia | audio rodicio
[05:33] <rodicio> ubottu,  Thanks, here We go :-)
[05:33] <rodicio> :D
[05:34] <buck_> ^Q^
[05:35] <accc> awww :D
[05:38] <histo> !botsnack
[05:39] <accc> i miss my own bot (rip) :(
[05:50] <audio> after installing nvidia-current on 12.10, i get past the boot and to the desktop, but resolution is jacked up and can't see dashboard or panel, how would i check to see which driver is active or select a diff one? i can bring up terminal
[05:50] <BRKsays> hey.. is this the right place to ask for a little help with my ubuntu?
[05:50] <audio> yea BRKsays  it is
[05:53] <BRKsays> ok. how to "force full screen redraws on repaint" and "don't wait for video sync" tweaks without installing ccsm?
[05:53] <wilee-nilee> BRKsays, What desktop are you using?
[05:54] <BRKsays> Ubuntu 12.04.1 lts, 32 bit. these are tewaks for horizontal lines in videoplayback.
[05:55] <buck_> :!
[05:55] <audio> anyone mind helping with driver probs on 12.10
[05:55] <wilee-nilee> BRKsays, Unity if that is the desktop is a plugin in ccsm it is installed already
[05:55] <wilee-nilee> or compiz anyway
[05:55] <echo1> test
[05:56] <audio> cant even find the dang driver selectino on ubuntu... nothing in the hardware tab for video card
[05:57] <BRKsays> my de is unity. but there is no compiz by default. I have to install it in order to remove horizontal lines. Is there anyway to apply those tweaks without installing ccsm?
[05:57] <buck_> compiz runs rather slow with gnome.
[05:57] <audio> is there an alt for compiz buck?
[05:58] <wilee-nilee> BRKsays, Unity is a plugin in compiz running on top of gnome.
[05:58] <BRKsays> audio sorry I didn't understand.
[05:58] <audio> BRKsays, was talking to buck_
[05:59] <BRKsays> wilee-nilee ok. but I have to install compiz configuration settings manager to apply those tweaks.
[05:59] <Rangga> Hello World!
[06:00] <wilee-nilee> BRKsays, that is just the control unless you add the extras, not sure why you would not install it.
[06:00] <buck_> I'm not sure,i gave it up recently and move to Xubuntu for that reason.
[06:01] <audio> whats the difference from ubuntu and xubuntu
[06:02] <audio> les resource hungry?
[06:02] <dr_willis> audio: xfce vs unity
[06:02] <buck_> yes
[06:02] <audio> yo willis, wb.. hey i got a question man
[06:02] <dr_willis> lightest DE would be lubuntu/lxde
[06:02] <BRKsays> wilee nilee I don't really tinker with stuffs. I would do the simple things like office, internet, music, videos. I just don't want to install an app to apply just two tweaks. Maybe there is something like "add these lines in config file" that'll do the same job as these two and I don't have to install ccsm.
[06:03] <audio> i tried installing just nvidia-current.. it booted (which is better than other dest.) but resolution was stuck on 1200. and no dash or panel showed.. i could run terminal however
[06:03] <dr_willis> BRKsays:  compiz uses the  dconf/gconf  settings.. so its would be doable.. but i dont know  the lines or options
[06:03] <audio> dr_willis,  so how can i get to the driver selection from terminal?
[06:03] <wilee-nilee> BRKsays, I would not know to be honest maybe others will
[06:03] <audio> dr_willis,  or since inxi -Dx doesnt work in ubuntu, how can i list what drivers is active
[06:03] <dr_willis> audio:  if you run nvidia-settings tiil it will show  if the nvidia drivers are working..
[06:04] <dr_willis> 'nvidia-settings'
[06:04] <dr_willis> if  it dosent complain then you are using the nvidia drivers.
[06:04] <audio> hm, does the instal auto black list noveau? or do i gotta do that manually
[06:05] <dr_willis> nviia-settings should black the  noveau drivers
[06:05] <audio> k
[06:05] <BRKsays> wilee-nilee it is the thought that matters. thnx.
[06:05] <audio> what about xorg.configure.. i dont need to install that on ubu?
[06:06] <dr_willis> audio:  not needed to run that i in the last several years of using ubuntu. ;)
[06:06] <dr_willis> nvidia-settings can make a xorg.conf
[06:06] <dr_willis> if needed
[06:06] <audio> alright cool, ima give it another shot and try that
[06:06] <audio> you gonna be in here? xD
[06:06] <audio> im sure i'll break somethign along the way
[06:06] <dr_willis> unless i  get a job...
[06:06] <BRKsays> dr_willis, what alternatives would you suggest for horizontal video tearing?
[06:06] <audio> what kind of work are you into
[06:07] <dr_willis> literally - all i do is install 'nvidia-current' 'reboot' run 'nvidia-settings' tweak it,. restart the x server and its done.
[06:07] <audio> im bout ready to pay someone to fix these driver probs..
[06:07] <dr_willis> BRKsays:  compiz has a few tweaks and video players have a few tweaks/filters..
[06:07] <audio> alright, thanks man
[06:07] <audio> this is the 2nd time i've ever gotten it to boot after installing.. so theres some progress atleast xD
[06:09] <mradot_> anyone want to go to my channel #computernerds
[06:09] <bazhang> mradot_, no advertising here
[06:10] <buck_> invite only?
[06:11] <peawormsworth> is there a link to a page showing all the default packages installed during a standard ubuntu first time installation?
[06:12] <kiri82> exit
[06:13] <tozen> peawormsworth: type in terminal: { echo dpkg --get-selections; dpkg --get-selections; } > installed-software
[06:13] <peawormsworth> tozen: thx, but this requires a fresh install first... i am looking for a shortcut ;-)
[06:14] <tozen> peawormsworth: after this text file will be created in /home
[06:14] <tozen> ok sorry
[06:14] <peawormsworth> np. i appreciate the command anyways.
[06:15] <IdleOne> peawormsworth: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekubuntu the Remove Ubuntu command has a list of a default ubuntu unity install
[06:16] <Shadow__X> hello I am trying to upgrade from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts but as the update started i received an error configuring libc6 xcreensave and xlockmore must be restarted before upgrade. I click forward and the next prompt says configuring libc6 services to restart for GNU libc library upgrade rsync mysql cups cron atd apache2. Can i safely click forward or do i need to do something else?
[06:17] <dr_willis> how are you upgradeing to the new release?
[06:17] <Shadow__X> dr_willis: by using upgrade manager
[06:18] <peawormsworth> IdleOne: thx.
[06:23] <Shadow__X> dr_willis: The update manager showed a prompt to update to 12.04
[06:24] <dr_willis> Shadow__X:  well that should be the proper way to update then.. but i rarely upgrade, i tend to do clean installs.
[06:24] <calibri> Hi all, i am using bluetooth in atmel development board while communicating using ussp-push i am getting error mentioned in weblink  http://pastebin.com/SDsjpZ39 anyone can help me to solve this issue.
[06:24] <Draconis> hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 but it seems to hate me in just about every virtualization program I've tried
[06:25] <Draconis> VirtualBox was insanely slow and would not boot... Hyper-V its stilla  bit sluggish. (typing in the dash has a considerable delay) is this normal?
[06:25] <dr_willis> Draconis:  i tend to use lubuntu in vbox. it seems to work nicely for me
[06:25] <Shadow__X> Draconis: is your machine slow? virtualbox should be fine (install vbox guest
[06:25] <dr_willis> Draconis:  anything without good 3d support is going to be slugish for unity i imagine
[06:26] <Shadow__X> dr_willis: any idea on if i should click forward?
[06:26] <dr_willis> Shadow__X:  is there any other option? :)
[06:26] <Shadow__X> no
[06:27] <dr_willis> well...  i guess that answers that then..
[06:27] <Draconis> dr_willis, Host has a AMD Radeon 6870
[06:27] <Shadow__X> it seems to of been handled ok
[06:27] <dr_willis> from what ive heard LTS to LTS upgrades are supposed to be  tested quiet a bit..
[06:27] <Shadow__X> Draconis: afaik hyper-v is not known to have the best linux support
[06:28] <Shadow__X> dr_willis: thanks it seems to be going ok so far
[06:28] <dr_willis> Draconis:  its the 3d support of the VM that will matter.. i reccomend trying lubuntu  in your  vms
[06:28] <Shadow__X> Draconis: did you instlal the vbox guest additions on the host?
[06:28] <Draconis> dr_jesus, got it, will download
[06:28] <Draconis> Shadow__X, I couldn't even get it to boot in VirtualBox it would hang on installation
[06:28] <Shadow__X> i run multiple base ubuntu vm's on vmware workstation without a problem
[06:28] <Draconis> have it running in Hyper-V but its pretty slow
[06:29] <Shadow__X> ah weird not sure why its doing that. I have never had an installation problem. I have had a i do not like unity problem and gnome 3 was imo worse
[06:29] <Draconis> I think it could be my host graphics card? I'm seeing lots of horror stories about AMD on google
[06:30] <icedwater> Hello! I see partitions on my hard disk /dev/sdX using fdisk -l. Why I am not able to mount them? (live USB user)
[06:30] <dr_willis> i tend to use lubuntu  in vbox on windows machines that i cant do a normal install onto.
[06:30] <dr_willis> icedwater:  how are you trying to mount them? what fs are they?
[06:30] <mhahe> hey guys trying to install yEd for flow charting. but installation is coming to a halt with this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636204/  .. im guessing the library required is 32bit while im running a 64bit version?
[06:31] <icedwater> dr_willis: NTFS, mount /dev/sdXa /mnt
[06:31] <icedwater> As root, of course.
[06:32] <dr_willis> icedwater:  whats the excact mount command you are using?
[06:32] <wilee-nilee> icedwater, Open gparted and see if there are any errors sometimes a chkdsk is needed.
[06:32] <dr_willis> and any errors it gives
[06:32] <dr_willis> ntfs - needing a file system check - will   keep them from mounting  to keep the data safe
[06:32] <icedwater> sudo mount /dev/sdXa /mnt --> mount: special device /dev/sdXa does not exist
[06:33] <Shadow__X> Draconis: radeon 5850 here
[06:33] <wilee-nilee> icedwater, the after the X is incorrect.
[06:33] <wilee-nilee> a*
[06:33] <dr_willis> icedwater:  you are using an actual /dev/ entry and NOT  'sdXa' ?
[06:33] <icedwater> Opening gparted gives me "Can't have a partition outside the disk!"
[06:34] <icedwater> Yes, dr_willis. I guess I could just use /dev/sda3 instead, it's not like it makes a difference.
[06:34] <dr_willis> sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/makesurethisdirexists
[06:34] <icedwater> gparted doesn't know about stuff on /dev/sda.
[06:35] <icedwater> ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda1': No such file or directory
[06:37] <dr_willis> does 'sudo blkid' show a sda1 ?
[06:39] <icedwater> Hmm... no, it says /dev/sda is a "isw_raid_member" and there are some NTFS things in /dev/mapper/BLAH_Volume0pX
[06:39] <icedwater> I think I missed the glaringly obvious...
[06:39] <icedwater> Let me try to mount those...
[06:40] <dr_willis> you using some sort of raid/lvm ?
[06:40] <icedwater> Not intentionally :P I'm on a live USB.
[06:41] <icedwater> Built using usb-creator-gtk, I might add.
[06:41] <dr_willis> that dosent mean the PC dosent have a raid or lvm setup on the  HD.
[06:41] <icedwater> But I've managed to mount the RAID partition.
[06:41] <icedwater> Yes, I didn't rule it out. I just suspected Ubuntu first. :P
[06:41] <dr_willis> so it is using raid then.
[06:44] <icedwater> For future info, this is a Sony Vaio VPC Z117 GG.
[06:46] <Draconis> hmm maybe virtualbox just hates my host machine... setup seems to be crawling with lubuntu too
[07:02] <calibri> Hi all, i am using bluetooth in atmel development board while communicating using ussp-push i am getting error mentioned in weblink  http://pastebin.com/SDsjpZ39 anyone can help me to solve this issue.
[07:02] <calibri> Hi anyone can help this..
[07:04] <kgalahassa> hi
[07:07] <kgalahassa> I  have an  attack on my ubuntu 12.O4, which  create found.OOO directories and put my files inside, on my data partition, what worse: it deletes them,  i 've not seen them, someone can help tracking
[07:08] <TakeItEZ> kgalahassa: aren't "found.000" created by windows chkdsk on filesystem-errors?
[07:08] <wilee-nilee> kgalahassa, This a wub install?
[07:08] <wilee-nilee> *wubi
[07:10] <kgalahassa> TakeITEZ, it seems, i do not know, just before starting my windows os yesterday it ask accepting a verification of my disks , by chk...something like that
[07:10] <SkyPitt> Silent
[07:11] <TakeItEZ> kgalahassa: chkdsk is like linux "fsck". seems you have a filesystem problem, not an attack.
[07:11] <kgalahassa> wilee-nilee, no, i just install ubuntu on a usbkey , and  i install it on another partition.
[07:12] <kgalahassa>  TakeItEZ, what can i do for stopping that, or resolve problem, i want to find my files , please
[07:13] <wilee-nilee> kgalahassa, Strange that as suggested the file would be the same as a chkdsk
[07:14] <TechGPS> when using the system wide proxy, does it also protect a pptp connection from getting your physical ip/
[07:15] <kgalahassa> wilee-nilee: inside found.OOO, It creates another directories like dirOOOO.chk, diskOOO1.chk, .....
[07:16] <kgalahassa>  wilee-nilee, what can i do for stopping that, or resolve problem, i want to find my files , please
[07:16] <wilee-nilee> kgalahassa, I have no idea, sorry.
[07:17] <TakeItEZ> kgalahassa: maybe you should ask in #windows (or is it ##windows ?), the guys there might have more ideas
[07:20] <TechGPS> does the system wide proxy stop any program from using your physical ip?
[07:22] <hXm> exists a way to avoid the message "restart is required" at the motd?
[07:23] <hXm> i dont want remove the message, i want to do what it needs without restart
[07:24] <mariko> hello
[07:24] <icedwater> Thanks dr_willis.
[07:25] <mariko> not active
[07:33] <Rangga> Hello
[07:33] <Rangga> could anyone help me
[07:33] <mariko> what's happening?
[07:34] <qin> hXm: kexec, ksplice?
[07:34] <Rangga> I'm trying to upgrade a server running Ubuntu 9.04, however it got stuck halfway and now it wont reboot
[07:34] <sram> hello folks is there a firewall in ubuntu i can stop ..?
[07:34] <qin> sram: iptables
[07:35] <mariko> iptables
[07:35] <Rangga> I could manage to get into the root by using an alternate CD
[07:35] <sram> Gin...iptables: unrecognized service
[07:35] <Rangga> but it wont run a liveCD, it'll just land on busybox initramfs
[07:36] <Rangga> does anyone ever had this problem before
[07:36] <Rangga> I've googled with no happy result
[07:36] <sram> rangga...full error pls and use pastebin
[07:37] <mariko> did you check the booting log?
[07:37] <Rangga> hi sram
[07:37] <Rangga> whatis padtebin?
[07:37] <mariko> to see what happened ...
[07:37] <Rangga> Hi mariko
[07:37] <somsip> !pastebin | Rangga
[07:37] <Rangga> i can't get the system boot
[07:39] <sram> ranggapaste the errors in the pastebinit
[07:39] <Rangga> now I just want to reinstall the server with the latest 12.04 LTS, however every time I put the liveCD to install it always lands on initramfs
[07:40] <mariko> some thing wrong with grub ?
[07:40] <Rangga> nope grub is fine
[07:40] <sram> fsck
[07:40] <Rangga> I could see the grub menu
[07:40] <mariko> ok
[07:40] <Rangga> tried fsck from the alternate CD, didnt help
[07:41] <sram> what is fdisk -l
[07:41] <Rangga> fdisk -l will list my disks and partitions
[07:41] <sram> use the paste bin to paste the fdisk -l results
[07:42] <sram> http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[07:42] <somsip> sram: sudo fdisk -l
[07:42] <Rangga> sram: how can I copy the fdisk result? I can't even get the system running
[07:42] <sram> live cd should connect to internet per my knowledge
[07:43] <Rangga> I can't run the liveCD
[07:43] <Rangga> it will ends up in initramfs (busybox)
[07:43] <Rangga> all I could get so far to see the files is with using Ubuntu alternate CD
[07:44] <TakeItEZ> Rangga: have yo checked md5-sums of the live-cd iso and cd?
[07:45] <kylechenoO> hello
[07:45] <kylechenoO> is any ubuntu user ?
[07:45] <Rangga> hi TakeItEZ I haven't checksum but I assume the CD is ok, I could use it on other computer
[07:45] <kylechenoO> iv still got into trouble
[07:46] <TakeItEZ> Rangga: asumptions are a nice thing, but better to check stuff
[07:46] <Rangga> and I tried different LiveCD the 9.04 11.04 12.04 all end up in initramfs
[07:47] <sram> rangga are u able to login to some other machine using these live cd's
[07:47] <somsip> Rangga: is the computer definitely set up to boot from CD first?
[07:47] <mariko> boot from HD, press EAC to dump the boot log since you can see the Grub menu.
[07:47] <Rangga> yes I could use the liveCD on other machine, thats how I know it's not broken
[07:48] <kylechenoO> mariko: hello
[07:48] <somsip> Rangga: no, is the computer you are having problems with definitely booting from the CD, or is it booting from HD?
[07:48] <kylechenoO> whats HD
[07:48] <sram> echo somsip
[07:49] <mariko> if there's some thing wrong with the X system,press CTRL+ALT+F1 you can login from the console.
[07:49] <mariko> hard disk
[07:49] <Rangga> somsip: its booting from CD
[07:49] <kylechenoO> is anybody help
[07:49] <somsip> Rangga: all evidence you've given so far points to the contrary
[07:49] <kylechenoO> ?
[07:49] <somsip> !anyone | kylechenoO
[07:49] <mariko> ?
[07:49] <Rangga> somsip: what do you mean?
[07:50] <kylechenoO> ok
[07:50] <somsip> Rangga: you've confirmed the CD works ok. You've confirmed no matter which CD you use you get the same error on the broken computer. This suggest you are not actually booting from the CD
[07:50] <kylechenoO> when i installing ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 64bit , that accur an error about the efi
[07:51] <mariko> what's efi?
[07:51] <kylechenoO> cannot mount the root file system
[07:51] <kylechenoO> i dont know
[07:51] <sram> is there any other firewall in ubuntu apart from usual iptable and wrappers
[07:51] <Rangga> somsip: the case is if I'm booting from the HD I could see GRUB and then nothing else
[07:51] <kylechenoO> someone told me thats one of win7
[07:51] <kylechenoO> win8
[07:51] <kylechenoO> but i never install win8 on disk
[07:52] <Rangga> somsip: if I boot from CD it will give the initramfs prompt if I try to re-install Ubuntu
[07:52] <TakeItEZ> efi = extensible firmware interface, the next generation "BIOS" for PCs
[07:52] <kylechenoO> my laptop
[07:52] <somsip> Rangga: fair enough. HArdware issue then?
[07:52] <kohvihoor> kylechenoO, are you installing from usb or cd?
[07:52] <kylechenoO> acer asprie 4560G
[07:52] <kylechenoO> i install it from usb
[07:53] <kylechenoO> always
[07:53] <Rangga> somsip: this is happening after I failed to upgrade from 9.04
[07:53] <kohvihoor> did you boot the usb with uefi?
[07:53] <kylechenoO> and i cant find another vmlinuz in usb
[07:53] <kylechenoO> thats only efi vmlinuz
[07:53] <Rangga> I don't think there's HW issue since it waas running fine before the upgrade
[07:53] <kylechenoO> the kernel is not fittable for my laptop
[07:53] <kylechenoO> no
[07:53] <somsip> Rangga: I have no experience upgrading from an old version. It makes no sense to me why this should affect the live cd
[07:53] <Rangga> mariko: I'll try to find the boot log
[07:54] <kohvihoor> when i'm installing from usb on my laptop, the boot from device menu lets me choose wether to boot as regular usb or uefi usb
[07:54] <kylechenoO> but i can install 32bit on my laptop
[07:54] <kylechenoO> and boot it
[07:54] <kylechenoO> it never show me that
[07:55] <kylechenoO> in grub while booting from usb
[07:55] <kylechenoO> it was only two grub entrys
[07:55] <kylechenoO> not yet...
[07:56] <kylechenoO> i cant remember it clearly
[07:56] <kylechenoO> but i cant find another kernel in livecd
[07:56] <kohvihoor> the kernel should not be the problem
[07:56] <mariko> look at this:  en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Initramfs
[07:57] <kylechenoO> kohvihoor: when i boot from ubuntu livecd from usb or cds it was not really good
[07:57] <TakeItEZ> kylechenoO: press F12 at boottime (or whatever key acer uses) to chose the boot device, maybe it has an alternative to efi-usb. or try to disable efi completely
[07:58] <Rangga> hi guys this screenshot of the booting: http://imagebin.org/251208
[07:59] <kylechenoO> i cant find any efi options in bios
[07:59] <somsip> Rangga: this is booting to what? HD? LiveCD?
[08:00] <kylechenoO> thats some usb-hdd
[08:00] <kylechenoO> just like that
[08:00] <Rangga> well out of my desperation on initramfs I'm trying to re-install ubuntu now
[08:00] <Rangga> somsip: its booting from HD
[08:01] <Rangga> but if I try to install from a LiveCD it'll just end up in busybox initramfs prompt
[08:01] <Rangga> what should I do :(
[08:01] <kylechenoO> and thats some questions also
[08:01] <kylechenoO> while boot from usb
[08:02] <kylechenoO> it cant do that for times
[08:02] <sram> rangga if u have less time connect this harddisk to another running ubuntu and backup files
[08:02] <Rangga> I am downloading an alternate 12.04 CD and will try on that later
[08:02] <sram> and then go ahead and format it with fresh ubuntu
[08:03] <Rangga> sram: I could get into the files by booting using 9.04 alternate CD
[08:03] <sram> alrite
[08:03] <Rangga> but everytime I try to choose install from the same CD it'll go to initramfs pronmpt
[08:03] <sram> does it have RAID
[08:04] <Rangga> yes it is running RAID
[08:04] <sram> ah i see raid what ? i think raid partition is corrupted
[08:05] <Rangga> I don't know much about RAID how do you know what RAID I'm running
[08:05] <Rangga> ?
[08:06] <TakeItEZ> sram: still the question why a corrupted raid-partition affects live-cd boot
[08:06] <poee> hey I am trying to change read/write permissions to a folder, but it keeps reverting back .
[08:06] <poee> can anyone tell me how to change them and make it stick
[08:06] <TakeItEZ> poee: what filesystem?
[08:06] <flightoffire> hi folks.
[08:06] <poee> ext4
[08:06] <poee> TakeItEZ, ext4
[08:07] <helmut_> hi
[08:07] <poee> I tried chmod -R uga+rw but even that isnt working :(
[08:07] <flightoffire> I use Mint but a friend has Ubuntu. I am 'tech support' (but new to Linux). He is *not* tech savvy and has used Ubuntu for over 2 years, go figure.
[08:07] <dr_willis> you mount it - then chown/chmod the directory the fs is mounted to.. poee
[08:07] <flightoffire> anyway, I am trying to install a printer driver for him
[08:08] <flightoffire> I have the deb file but how do I install it?
[08:08] <kohvihoor> flightoffire, sudo dpkg -i debfile.deb
[08:08] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  it may allready bein the repos.
[08:08] <kohvihoor> and the sudo apt-get install -f
[08:08] <poee> dr_willis, its mounted already? its in /home/username/
[08:09] <flightoffire> ok, one sec
[08:09] <kohvihoor> or if you have gdebi, then sudo gdebi debfile.deb
[08:09] <dr_willis> poee:  double check with the mount command.
[08:09] <sram> rangga how many hdd do u have
[08:09] <TakeItEZ> flightoffire: sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[08:09] <dr_willis> poee:  then you  should just be able to do sudo chown and sudo chmod as needed
[08:09] <Rangga> sram: if it is RAID error whats the step should I take?
[08:09] <flightoffire> what does 'foo' mean?
[08:09] <sram> first tell me how many HDD ?
[08:09] <dr_willis> poee:  you are sure its ext2/3/4  -    sudo blkid may show you
[08:09] <TakeItEZ> flightoffire: use the filename
[08:10] <flightoffire> ok :)
[08:10] <Rangga> sram: I have 2 146GB HD attached on the server and anothe 2TB on expansion
[08:10] <poee> yes it is ext4, I am seeing it in the system monitor dr_willis
[08:11] <sram> then raid should be below level 5
[08:11] <Ben64> poee: which folder do you want to change permissions of, and why?
[08:11] <dr_willis> poee:  so cd into the mounted directory  and use ls -l to see who owns what,  then you should be able to use chown and chmod as needed
[08:11] <Rangga> sram: on the internal HD I, when I df -h I could see only 146GB instead of 292GB
[08:11] <dr_willis> then verify the change with ls -l again.
[08:12] <sram> yes with raid only half of the total 2 hdd's are usable
[08:12] <Rangga> sram: and the funny thing on that second external drive of 2TB if i do df -h it'll tell me its only 146GB also...
[08:13] <sram> it might be usb not in raid
[08:13] <poee> Ben64, I installed android sdk and what to create a AVD, but its throwing error cannot write . the folders are /home/username/.android and /home/username/desktop/android-sdk-linux
[08:13] <Rangga> it is RAID I could see it when the computer starts it said RAID
[08:14] <poee> I changed permissions using both sudo chmod and nautilus but it keeps reverting
[08:14] <poee> :/
[08:14] <dr_willis> poee:   start with the basics..  what does ls -l show as who owns .android
[08:14] <voidwalker> lulzybum lulzybumbum
[08:14] <voidwalker> Install Eclipse
[08:14] <voidwalker> it helps
[08:15] <voidwalker> or ADT
[08:15] <flightoffire> UPDATE: so far so good, just waiting for his password (via SMS) he had to head out.
[08:15] <poee> dr_willis, poee does
[08:16] <dr_willis> poee:  so what command/tool are you running that can not write to it?
[08:17] <sram> rangga atlease the minimum survival level is to be able to boot into the repaired system and be able to run mount
[08:18] <Rangga> ok what do I mount?
[08:18] <Rangga> right now I just want to re-install it
[08:18] <poee> dr_willis, android sdk
[08:19] <dr_willis> poee:  so whats the exact command you are using...
[08:19] <poee> dr_willis, I tried chmod -R uga+rw  foldername
[08:19] <Rangga> sram: if I could get to the repaired system wwhat should I mount?
[08:20] <poee> sudo chmod
[08:20] <dr_willis> poee:   ok.. as your user poee, cd into .android and try a 'touch testfile'     does that work?   do a ls -l testfile to see its ppermissions and ownership
[08:20] <poee> okay
[08:21] <sram> rangga u should try mounting the repaired partition
[08:21] <Rangga> sram: do u mean the root partition?
[08:22] <poee> -rw-rw-rw- 1 poee poee 1708 date time adbkey
[08:22] <poee> dr_willis, ^ thats the output
[08:23] <dr_willis> poee:  and does the command  'touch testfile'   work?
[08:23] <sram> correct root which holds the main configuration
[08:23] <poee> yes it doesnt display any output though, dr_willis
[08:23] <dr_willis> poee:  so ls -l    SHOULD show a testfile.. it did not show it above
[08:24] <Ben64> poee: sounds like the sdk got installed incorrectly
[08:24] <Rangga> sram: yea I could get to the repaired system by using alternate CD and choose the Fix option
[08:24] <Rangga> then what?
[08:24] <dr_willis> does ls -l show a file named 'testfile' ? if so then your  permissions are correct. your  user can write to that directory poee
[08:25] <Rangga> I just copied all the configuration files and backed up the data in it and now ready to re-install the whole system
[08:25] <Rangga> but now I can't do that with a liveCD
[08:26] <poee> dr_willis, it does show the file yes.
[08:26] <Rangga> it gives me the initramfs prompt every time i try to re-install
[08:26] <poee> maybe the sdk is installed incorrectly, I ll try reinstalling it
[08:26] <dr_willis> poee:  so your permissions  are correct.. Your  issue is with how you are running the sdk stuff...
[08:27] <Rangga> now I will try to use 12.04 alternate CD and reformat and install with it
[08:28] <poee> thanks dr_willis
[08:30] <Rangga> clr
[08:46] <flightoffire> still stuck...
[08:46] <nocturnal_> im trying to find the right driver for an nvidia geforce go 6150 in my pavillion dv6000 laptop. i have searched all over google and know i need to find the right driver and config my xorg.conf
[08:47] <Giora> Have you tried on nvidia's site?
[08:47] <nocturnal_> Giora: yup
[08:47] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  tell us exactly  what you are doing.
[08:48] <flightoffire> I typed: sudo dpkg -i /home/username/downloads/package-name.deb
[08:48] <dr_willis> what is the exact ppackage name? the package may allreadybe in the repos.
[08:48] <flightoffire> I am prompted for PW which I enter
[08:49] <flightoffire> hl2270dwlpr-2.1.0-1.i386.deb
[08:50] <flightoffire> "cannot access archive: No such file or directory"
[08:50] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  Case is impornt in Liux paths
[08:50] <dr_willis> you re doing a typo
[08:50] <flightoffire> I know it is the correct directory, I checked
[08:50] <dr_willis> its Desktop not 'desktop'
[08:50] <dr_willis> may be same for Downloads and downloads
[08:50] <flightoffire> ok
[08:50] <dr_willis> cd to where the file is at.. then just dpkg -i whatever.deb
[08:51] <dr_willis> the TAB key can help auto complete pathss/names
[08:51] <TakeItEZ> flightoffire: are you sure the 2270 still needs the crappy brother-debs? at least the 2250dn works with the shipped drivers (12.10)
[08:51] <dr_willis> My brother also worked with the stuff from the repos/default drivers
[08:52] <dr_willis> apt-cache search brother                 may show packages in the repos that would be better then the .deb from the  brother site
[08:52] <starkiller> omg i dont have permision to creat a folder in my own hardrive:P
[08:53] <Giora> Use sudo xD
[08:53] <reindeer> Q: Any known bad quirks/bugs on 12.04LTS + latest Nvidia 310.40 (+ Geforce GTX460)? I am in the process of installing one of the proprietary drivers soon.
[08:53] <dr_willis> starkiller:  totally depends on the filesystems and how the permissions are setup
[08:53] <flightoffire> Dr, I am aware of case sensitivity. I do tech support for Windows periodically but very new to Linux. Thus, I can figure some thingsout but do not know Lx environment, commands, etc
[08:53] <starkiller> i used sudo to make one XD then i  dont  ave permision to put anything in it lol
[08:54] <dr_willis> starkiller:  makes sence if your user has no rights to that directory
[08:54] <Giora> Lol
[08:54] <flightoffire> re brother drivers, I do not know exactly what he has.
[08:54] <Giora> Sometimes I get lazy and just do sudo nautilus
[08:54] <starkiller> i think im ad,inistrador xdX
[08:55] <flightoffire> he just tells me that he can't get his printer to work, so I think he tried to download the driver to 'fix it'
[08:55] <TakeItEZ> !permissions | starkiller
[08:55] <dr_willis> starkiller:  thats a bit of a meaningless term  in ways.. your user mayhave 'sudo' rights.. but that dosent mean they can automatically write to anywhere by default
[08:55] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  he should determine the exact printer, and check the askubuntu.com site and cups.org and linuxprinting.org  for info about it.
[08:55] <flightoffire> I lso can't seem to logon to my wireless here. I have entered correct passphrase
[08:56] <flightoffire> thanks for links
[08:56] <dr_willis> !cups
[08:56] <HelpMeJo> I know this is ubuntu channel but because my problem seems to be mainly on Linux I would like to ask here. When I installed Qt5 on Ubuntu 12.10 the fonts look strange. Does someone have the same problem>
[08:57] <starkiller> lol i guess ill have to read xD :)
[08:57] <vince__> hello. Im trying to get ubuntu 13.04 to show up in the boot window at startup along side 12.04 & 12.10. can anyone help out?
[08:57] <lordcyfer> Hello everybody
[08:58] <starkiller> thanks for the info :)
[08:58] <vince__> good day lord
[09:00] <flightoffire> wireless is set to: Mode=infrastructure, SSID is correct, MTU=automatic, Security is set to WPA & WPA2 Personal, IPv4 is set to Automatic DHCP. Did I miss anything?
[09:00] <Ben64> arent you on mint though?
[09:00] <TakeItEZ> vince__: boot the installation with the main grub 8the one written into MBR) and then "sudo update-grub"
[09:00] <flightoffire> Ubuntu Software Centre is not connecting
[09:01] <reindeer> Q: so, is anyone running nvidia 310.40? all ok?
[09:01] <flightoffire> Ben64, u askign me?
[09:01] <Ben64> yeah
[09:01] <flightoffire> I am chatting here on my Minty but have his lappy on my, well, lap
[09:01] <flightoffire> I use Minty, he uses Ubuntu
[09:02] <flightoffire> Mint works great, but I am not familiar with Ub
[09:02] <dr_willis> flightoffire: mint and ubuntu  should support identical hardware for the most part..
[09:02] <vince__> thanks EZ- kind of noobish here though. the installation i need to boot is which one?
[09:02] <flightoffire> one would think, they are both Deb
[09:02] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  does ifconfig  show the wire card?
[09:03] <flightoffire> type in terminal?
[09:03] <TakeItEZ> vince__:the one which has written grub into MBR
[09:03] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  yes.....
[09:03] <TakeItEZ> vince__: you should know which version that is, we can't
[09:04] <TakeItEZ> vince__: most likely the one at the top of the grub-menu
[09:04] <vince__> ahh i see. the main boot is 12.04, so I can run sudo...ect from that and fix it?
[09:05] <TakeItEZ> vince__: yes, "sudo update-grub" should find/add any linux installation
[09:05] <lordcyfer> I need to know to setup a non us keyboard mapping for X with preseed for an Ubuntu 12.04 auto install http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636400/ contain all
[09:06] <vince__> EZ- thanks. That helps a ton. I'm here trying to fix it from a secondary os. should've known the main one was best for doing most everything
[09:07] <flightoffire> what is the linux equivalent of ping?
[09:07] <TakeItEZ> flightoffire: ping
[09:07] <Ben64> ping
[09:07] <flightoffire> :)
[09:08] <dr_willis> might be time to read up on some command line basics.... ;)
[09:08] <flightoffire> I can ping google.com just fine
[09:08] <flightoffire> so it IS getting access to 'net
[09:08] <dr_willis> so whats not working exacctly?
[09:08] <flightoffire> just not loading up software packages for some reason
[09:09] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  'sudo apt-get update'   works?
[09:09] <flightoffire> Ubuntu Software Centre
[09:09] <flightoffire> ok, one sec
[09:09] <dr_willis> close sotware center... use that command
[09:10] <flightoffire> listing a bunch of stuff
[09:10] <flightoffire> seemed to work ok
[09:10] <_genuser_> guys, as usual, using universal usb installer, with ubuntu 12 live CD
[09:10] <_genuser_> but it fails to boot for Ubuntu 12.
[09:11] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  if you wan tto upgrade the system then use 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[09:11] <_genuser_> previous versions never had this issue. is this a known problem, or should I use a lower ubuntu version?
[09:11] <flightoffire> yep, got a bunch of stuff.
[09:11] <_genuser_> fails dropping you into busybox prompt saying mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed.
[09:11] <dr_willis> _genuser_:  what exactly  is not working? the live usb is not working?
[09:11] <flightoffire> I will restart update centre...
[09:12] <dr_willis> sounds like the iso maybe bad.. or the tool  had issues.. theres alternative live-usb maker tools at the pendrivelinux web site
[09:12] <dr_willis> or you can 'dd' the iso file straight to usb. but that  wont make a peristant save file
[09:12] <CoJaBo> Anyone know if theres a good (GUI) editor for Linux that supports recovery saves?
[09:13] <julianduque> Hello, i'm trying to install Ubuntu on a Asus Zenbook Prime with USB but it shows a black screen after grub, any ideas? I read the forums and threads and it seems that everybody was able to install with no problems
[09:13] <flightoffire> point of clarity, the Update Software Centre *does* open up with various icons showing, but clicking on the System tab results in it sitting there with rotating timer icon for AGES. I.e,, not connecting
[09:13] <_genuser_> dr_willis: booting from ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso. creating live usb stick using Universal-USB_Installer-v1.5.8
[09:13] <julianduque> also, I'm seeing a simple black grub menu, not the beautiful polished ubuntu one
[09:13] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | julianduque
[09:14] <julianduque> dr_willis, ubottu: will try
[09:14] <dr_willis> _genuser_:  youdid verify the md5sum of the iso?     you can try  other tools also
[09:14] <flightoffire> I tried a couple of other icons, same waiting issue
[09:15]  * dr_willis dosent recall ubuntu having a polished grub menu.
[09:15] <starkiller> what folder should i back up to back up my system setings and programs XD?
[09:15] <flightoffire> time for a reboot...did I just say that  o.O
[09:15] <dr_willis> flight 'other icons' ? huh?
[09:15] <_genuser_> dr_willis: no, I did not. It's an ISO I have used over and over for my vmware VMs without problem.
[09:15] <dr_willis> flightoffire:  if this is the first update on that box.. it may have a new kernel installed and should be rebooted
[09:16] <flightoffire> other icons in Software Centre. Main page opens fine but clicking on any icon results in waiting, waiting, waiti...
[09:16] <flightoffire> yeb, brb
[09:16] <flightoffire> yep
[09:16] <dr_willis> Peronally.. i never use software center..
[09:16] <flightoffire> you're a command line guru right?
[09:16] <flightoffire> :)
[09:16] <julianduque> dr_willis, ubottu: nothing happens, still a black screen :|
[09:17] <mariko> neither do i
[09:17] <dr_willis> for irc  support - the command line is the way to  offer advice and fix things
[09:17] <_genuser_> dr_willis: altho, the Universal-USB_Installer specifically says create liveusb for Ubuntu 10.x, I guess it could be something version specific.
[09:17] <julianduque> I know that ubuntu works neat on this model, but I'm getting frustrated.. tried with dd, Universal Boot Installer, Unetbootin
[09:17] <dr_willis> apt-get update  - has been the same for decades...... vs   (click on this icon, now click over there...)
[09:18] <dr_willis> julianduque:  sounds like its some hardware/video quirk more then a badly made usb then
[09:18] <julianduque> dr_willis: it's an intel 4000 hd, nothing fancy
[09:18] <dr_willis> julianduque:  what ubuntu release are you using?
[09:19] <raven> hi
[09:19] <raven> i am trying to watch a smbfs mounted folder with inotifywait but of course the smb mount does not update itself - any ideas how to workaround?
[09:19] <julianduque> tried with 13.04 (daily) and 12.10
[09:19] <k_sze[work]> Does ubuntu have it's own way of making apache2 reload the config?
[09:19] <julianduque> dr_willis: grub menu isn't the purple one, it helps?
[09:19] <TakeItEZ> k_sze[work]: sudo service apache2 reload
[09:20] <k_sze[work]> TakeItEZ: I read that using `service` is the LSB way, so Ubuntu will be following that from here on?
[09:21] <TakeItEZ> k_sze[work]: afaik yes
[09:21] <dr_willis> ubuntu has used the service command for some time now
[09:22] <mcnesium> i need help with byobu-tmux. i cannot reattach to a session started with „byobu -S name“
[09:23] <mcnesium> this is on 12.04
[09:23] <TakeItEZ> dr_willis: it has, but "service" is sysvinit :)
[09:23] <mcnesium> i didnt even know that it uses tmux by default
[09:23] <dr_willis> byobu can use screen or tmux. it used to use screen by default. now a days it uses tmux
[09:24] <mcnesium> obviously it did not in this case
[09:24] <raven> i am trying to watch a smbfs mounted folder with inotifywait but of course the smb mount does not update itself - any ideas how to workaround?
[09:24] <mcnesium> i see a tmux session in htop
[09:24] <mcnesium> but byobu ls says „failed to connect to server: Connection refused“
[09:24] <DirtyJobs> Hi all, i am trying to create a pptp server on my ubuntu 12.04LTS. I'm following some detailed instruction but it just doesn't work as intended
[09:24] <mcnesium> and byobu attach -rd -t name says „no sessions“
[09:25] <julianduque> dr_willis: tried with: nomodeset, also no splash and still on a black screen :|
[09:25] <dr_willis> mcnesium:  i thought if yyou  just ran 'byobu' it would reattatch itself automaticallt
[09:25] <mcnesium> dr_willis: no, it opens a new session in this case
[09:26] <mcnesium> a screen session btw
[09:26] <mcnesium> i dont know why it used tmux yesterday
[09:26] <mcnesium> as said, i used „byobu -S name“
[09:26] <julianduque> neither the check disc for defects option works
[09:30] <raven> i am trying to watch a smbfs mounted folder with inotifywait but of course the smb mount does not update itself - any ideas how to workaround?
[09:31] <julianduque> dr_willis: it was the freakin' boot secure options
[09:32] <dr_willis> julianduque:  i dont havev any pcs new enought to  have that. ;)
[09:32] <dr_willis> turn secure boot = off -->   good advice, ;)
[09:32] <julianduque> dr_willis: pheeeew, related: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2086054

[09:34] <flightoffire> Dr_willis, well, I just found out he is using an old version of Ub. Nice one. Time for an upgrade

[09:34] <dr_willis> 'but of course '.... dosent really make much sence raven ....
[09:35] <raven> dr_willis ?
[09:35] <dr_willis> could be inotifywait uses some mechnism that smb dosent follow.

[09:45] <BrixSat> Morning
[09:46] <BrixSat> Can i compile the latest vlc in ubuntu 10.04?
[09:53] <en> ciaoù
[09:55] <marandi> hey guys , i have Quantal Quetzal on my laptop , yesterday when i start ubuntu , all desktop was gone , i mean unity and a warning pop out too report this bug in ubuntu ! now i cant use unity --reset ! how can i get default setting of unity or compize , how can i fix it ?
[09:55] <chunkyhead> i bought a mic, connected it to laptop, it's not working :| doesn't ubuntu have auto detect option?
[09:57] <ne2k> any ideas why apt-get dist-upgrade might be stalling on "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub 3.2.0-39-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-39-generic" ?
[09:58] <minas> is there a command to check disk fragmentation in linux?
[09:58] <minas> *to check, not to defragment
[09:58] <TakeItEZ> minas: fsck
[09:58] <jony> why is Krusader slow when accessing folders (ussing Ubuntu 12.04)?
[09:58] <minas> TakeItEZ, Is there anything that can do it while the disk is mounted?
[09:59] <ne2k> I thought update manager had crashed, so I killed it, then I did dpkg --configure -a to recover it and it's stalled at the same place
[09:59] <TakeItEZ> minas: idk
[09:59] <flightoffire> he is using Release 11.04 (natty)Q: in upgrading the kernel/op system in Ubuntu, do I simply install over the top or is there some special place or command to use
[09:59] <minas> TakeItEZ, thank you
[09:59] <flightoffire> above is re my friends palm top
[09:59] <flightoffire> mentioned some time ago
[10:00] <ne2k> minas: what is the filing system?
[10:00] <marandi> hey guys , i have Quantal Quetzal on my laptop , yesterday when i start ubuntu , all desktop was gone , i mean unity and a warning pop out too report this bug in ubuntu ! now i cant use unity --reset ! how can i get default setting of unity or compize , how can i fix it ?
[10:01] <k1l> flightoffire: you can upgrade to the next releases in uubuntu
[10:01] <minas> ne2k, ext4 I think
[10:01] <flightoffire> he is using natty 11.04
[10:01] <k1l> flightoffire: but maybe you need some work because 11.04 is outdated some time ago
[10:01] <k1l> !eol | flightoffire
[10:01] <ne2k> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/173189 seems like need to reboot and dpkg --configure -a again.
[10:02] <ne2k> this OS is seriously turning into Windows
[10:02] <flightoffire> i know, that is why I want to upgrade it for him
[10:02] <icedwater> Hi! How might I get libsvn1 from quantal's repos if I need it to compile Subversion 1.7.8?
[10:02] <chunkyhead> i bought a mic, connected it to laptop, it's not working :| doesn't ubuntu have auto detect option?
[10:03] <lhavelund> icedwater: It's possible you can just use apt-get build-dep subversion. That'll fetch all the dependencies for subversion as it is in the repos currently.
[10:03] <lhavelund> Of course, dependencies may change between versions, but often, not too much.
[10:03] <flightoffire> I'm just reading upgrade instructions in Ub web site
[10:03] <icedwater> Ah, I forgot to mention I'm running precise. How ironic :)
[10:03] <sergiufreenode> witch  laptop will give better fps in online games like WoW? Asus e-450 1.65 HD 6470M or b830 intel GMA?
[10:03] <DirtyJobs> Hi all, i am trying to create a pptp server on my ubuntu 12.04LTS. I'm following some detailed instruction but it just doesn't work as intended
[10:04] <lhavelund> icedwater: Oooh. I'd look for libsvn1 on the Ubuntu repository browser, but I don't have a link handy.
[10:04] <flightoffire> update manager was no help
[10:04] <flightoffire> need to do this manually
[10:04] <k1l> flightoffire: see the message from the bot
[10:04] <flightoffire> k
[10:04] <lhavelund> icedwater: Try searching for "libsvn1 Ubuntu quantal" or something; should bring it up. If not, let me know and I'll give it a look.
[10:05] <icedwater> Ah, I'm there. But I was thinking more of something like
[10:05] <icedwater> package pinning...
[10:05] <icedwater> I vaguely remember something like that.
[10:05] <lhavelund> !pin
[10:05] <lhavelund> ^
[10:06] <icedwater> So you would recommend downloading the package from the repo browser directly?
[10:06] <lhavelund> Well, if you're on a different version to what you want the package from..
[10:06] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[10:06] <lhavelund> You could download it from there (assuming you satisfy dependencies), then pin it using the above method
[10:06] <chunkyhead> pls help me with my mic -_-
[10:06] <raven> how to monitor a folder by comparing the file-list?
[10:07] <lhavelund> raven: What do you mean?
[10:07] <Ben64> !eol | flightoffire
[10:08] <raven> lhavelund i need to process the filenames of file which are moved into the watchfolder by comparing "old" and "refreshed" file-lists
[10:08] <chunkyhead> help anyone who knows about sounds in ubuntu?
[10:08] <lhavelund> Perhaps you could use diff.
[10:09] <flightoffire> ubottu, saw that b4, thanks.
[10:09] <icedwater> So ... if I want to get subversion itself from the quantal repos, I would make a preference for it and build-dep, I guess?
[10:09] <flightoffire> :)
[10:09] <poee> !ask | chunkyhead
[10:09] <lhavelund> icedwater: That sounds about right.
[10:09] <Ben64> icedwater: sounds like a good way to break stuff
[10:09] <lhavelund> icedwater: build-dep for subversion (to just grab most deps without issue).
[10:10] <chunkyhead> i asked before but you guys wouldn't answer :| i've connected my mic but when i record nothing happens, i'm using 12.04 HELP
[10:10] <lhavelund> icedwater: IDEALLY, you should probably consider if that might break stuff, like Ben64 mentions.
[10:10] <TakeItEZ> raven: can't you just watch mtime of the mountpoint for changes?
[10:10] <lhavelund> It's... not particularly elegant.
[10:10] <Ben64> if you really really need a newer version, upgrade
[10:10] <flightoffire> wait till we have AI. "Doc (relationship counselor) my computer and I have, well, relationship problems. We can't communicate. They just don't understand ME. *I* am not a computer. What do we do"
[10:10] <Ben64> or use a ppa
[10:10] <raven> TakeItEZ the problem is its a smb share i cannot use inotifywait for because its not updating
[10:10] <Ben64> don't just get a newer version because one exists
[10:10] <lhavelund> Ben64: I'm an idiot. I thought q => p. -_-
[10:11] <icedwater> I know, but stuff is already breaking... I tried to get subversion 1.7.8 from source and install that, only libsvn1 is complaining.
[10:11] <icedwater> So I thought about fixing it by getting libsvn1 first.
[10:11] <Ben64> why do you need the latest?
[10:11] <lhavelund> icedwater: You'll end up in dependency hell if you're upgrading one package like that, heh
[10:11] <poee> okay chunkyhead , right click on the volume icon on the top and select sound preferences and select input, see if your volume and mic settings are okay
[10:11] <icedwater> Because a repo I created on Windows was using 1.7.8
[10:11] <icedwater> Subversion 1.7.8, that is.
[10:12] <Ben64> and its not backwards compatible?
[10:12] <icedwater> lhavelund: you mean this isn't it yet? I'm in sub-version purgatory?!
[10:12] <sgo11> hi, how can I delete gmail calendar from evolution? I just want gmail email, do not want the calendar feature. I failed to do this. thanks.
[10:12] <chunkyhead> poee, it's the default internal mic it's detecting, no external mic is being detected,
[10:12] <lhavelund> icedwater: You should see if there's a PPA for svn 1.7.8 for pp.
[10:12] <icedwater> too old (format 29) to work with client version '1.8.0-dev (under development)' (expects format 31). is the error I have,
[10:12] <ebeken> does this speed test work for you guys? http://ks397339.kimsufi.com/
[10:13] <Ben64> !ot | ebeken
[10:13] <poee> chunkyhead, click on the connector drop down list, do you have the other mic?
[10:13] <lhavelund> icedwater: Hmm. Well, you have two options as I see it; re-initialize that repo as stable svn, upgrade your OS, or (yeah, three options) find a PPA.
[10:14] <chunkyhead> where's the connector drop down list?
[10:14] <raven> TakeItEZ i just try to find something about find -mtime - what exactly is it?
[10:14] <lhavelund> icedwater: Anything else I definitely wouldn't recommend. Imagine if that version of libsvn1 depends on another package, which depends on two more, each of which have two or three dependencies...
[10:14] <poee> chunkyhead, on the input tab in sound preferences
[10:14] <Ben64> then when everything breaks, nobody here will help you fix it
[10:14] <lhavelund> ^
[10:14] <icedwater> Re-initializing is OK, but the rest of my team is on Windows and using TortoiseSVN 1.7.11, ergo Subversion 1.7.8
[10:14] <TakeItEZ> raven: modification time, updated everytime the dir-content was changed
[10:14] <chunkyhead> there's nothing of that sort under input poee
[10:15] <lhavelund> icedwater: Isn't Tortoise backwards-compatible at least? The client?
[10:15] <raven> what is +1 in seconds?
[10:15] <icedwater> PP's repo svn is 1.6, and is too young to handle the hot stuff... QQ's repo svn is too old, so I decided to get it from source.
[10:15] <chunkyhead> 60mins raven
[10:15] <chunkyhead> 60secs* ravn
[10:15] <Ben64> what about https://launchpad.net/~svn/+archive/ppa
[10:15] <icedwater> lhavelund: Can I downgrade from within Tortoise?
[10:15] <sgo11> evolution is so stupid. I remove the gmail account and add it again. There is no way to remove gmail calendar and contacts. I have to remove the gmail accounts and re-add it without the calendar and contacts support.
[10:15] <chunkyhead> raven, 60secs*
[10:15] <Ben64> and precise's version is 1.7.5
[10:16] <Ben64> !info subversion
[10:16] <raven> chunkyhead how to achieve 1 second?
[10:16] <poee> chunkyhead, is it a usb mic?
[10:16] <lhavelund> icedwater: I don't know anything about Tortoise, I'm afraid. 1.7.7 is the latest version available in the PPA.
[10:16] <TakeItEZ> raven: "stat --printf '%y\n' dir/"
[10:16] <chunkyhead> poee, 3.5mm jack
[10:16] <lhavelund> Ben64: He just wanted the deps to compile from source
[10:16] <icedwater> Ben64: yep, thanks, this looks useful.
[10:17] <icedwater> lhavelund: Ben64: for further details, my ./configure and make drama is at http://ix.io/4Qg and http://ix.io/4Qh respectively.
[10:17] <chunkyhead> raven, i have no clue O.o let met get back to you, if u get the answer first pls let me know
[10:17] <Dreaman> http://picbg.net/img.php?file=c03dafd1d51f1a22.png  ubuntu 13.04 alpha full hd dts clip
[10:17] <lhavelund> icedwater: Well, I'd try and grab the 1.7.7 binaryand see if that'll work.
[10:17] <icedwater> Mm.
[10:18] <Ben64> !13.04 | Dreaman
[10:18] <Dreaman> ok
[10:18] <poee> chunkyhead, perhaps there is a problem with your mic jack?
[10:18] <chunkyhead> poee, works fine in windows
[10:18] <raven> TakeItEZ do you know how to script the file-list-compare thing?
[10:19] <TakeItEZ> raven: read mtime, store into a file/var, read again, compare, do somethin on change
[10:20] <peawormsworth> if I compile a package from source will it produce a binary copy of the original binary package? I mean will the hash of the binary be exactly the same?
[10:21] <icedwater> For what it's worth, I'm going to keep the 1.8.0 in /usr/local/bin :P
[10:21] <lhavelund> keep it in ~/ >_>
[10:23] <icedwater> Nah, at this point it doesn't matter. I'll just use which svn when I get a working one, and rename 1.8.0 to /usr/local/bin/svn-time-to-upgrade
[10:23] <icedwater> /usr/bin/svn is a symlink now anyway :P
[10:23] <TakeItEZ> raven: like http://aplawrence.com/Unixart/watchdir.html
[10:24] <drasko> hi all. I can not format SD card as Linux sees it like read-only. How to force format ?
[10:24] <ebeken> is there a little switch on the SD card ?
[10:24] <icedwater> Did you mount it correctly too, drasko?
[10:24] <icedwater> Check both.
[10:25] <drasko> icedwater, I did not mount it, as I want to use fdisk to change partition table. But it can not
[10:25] <drasko> It says that SD card is RO
[10:26] <raven> TakeItEZ something like this but i also need to prepare for the case there are more than one new fioles
[10:26] <icedwater> Hmm, then it was automatically mounted as ro huh.
[10:26] <drasko> even dd -f if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde does not work
[10:26] <icedwater> Or detected, sorry.
[10:26] <icedwater> Be careful where you point that gun!
[10:26] <TakeItEZ> raven: you just use this watch-script to trigger any action you want to perform on new files
[10:26] <icedwater> sde and sda aren't too far apart :P
[10:28] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[10:29] <jnhghy_> I need to create/access some dbf files throw php when I tried , I got error undefine function dbase_create(), from what I understand my php is not compiled with " --enable-dbase" my question is how do I recompile? or add "--enable-dbase" to my php?
[10:30] <ShapeShifter499> how do I get my ssh public key?  I was able to use ssh-copy-id to send my key to another internet connected ubuntu system, but this time I want to enable my windows ssh client to connect (putty)
[10:31] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: use putygen, create a key, copy pubkey over, use it
[10:31] <boston62> If your operating a server running Ubuntu 12.04, there is noway to have sound or DVD. Correct?
[10:31] <TakeItEZ> puttygen*
[10:33] <icedwater> So, one more question... now that I have this PPA, how do I specify I want the PPA's version of subversion to build-deps for?
[10:33] <icedwater> It looks like a -t <something> but I can't figure out what that something could be.
[10:35] <tux_> anyone see this http://www.canonical.com/content/canonical-and-chinese-standards-body-announce-ubuntu-collaboration ?
[10:35] <ShapeShifter499> TakeItEZ, so I can't use the key I generated on my main ubuntu system?
[10:36] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: i'm not sure if putty can use openssh-keys, but you should better use different keys (easier to revoke if someone gets your key)
[10:38] <ShapeShifter499> ok got it
[10:39] <MichaelA> Hello
[10:41] <ridwan> hi
[10:45] <jacqueso> join #ubuntu
[10:45] <icedwater> Hi jacqueso! You're already here :)
[10:46] <jnhghy_> I need to create/access some dbf files throw php when I tried , I got error undefine function dbase_create(), from what I understand my php is not compiled with " --enable-dbase" my question is how do I recompile? or add "--enable-dbase" to my php?
[10:47] <flightoffire> ok, I'm stuck. How do I upgrade from Natty to latest? Can I do it in one istall over existing, or do I need to do it incrementally?
[10:47] <flightoffire> I can figure a few thingsout but am a Lx newbie sstill
[10:47] <flightoffire> I have a thumb drive
[10:48] <flightoffire> it seems I need to do it incrementally from distro to distro, "You can directly upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 ("Quantal Quetzal") from Ubuntu 12.04 ("Precise Pangolin")."
[10:48] <flightoffire> from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades
[10:49] <jrib> flightoffire: you can do a fresh install or upgrade incrementally with natty -> oneiric -> precise -> quantal.  Your choice.
[10:50] <flightoffire> "fresh install" = wipe harddrive? Not an optoin, client's machine.
[10:50] <flightoffire> can I do incremental to bring existing system up to date?
[10:50] <jrib> flightoffire: yes.  Presumably you would make backups first.  If that's not an option, then upgrade incrementally
[10:50] <flightoffire> perhaps via thumb drive installs?
[10:50] <jrib> !eolupgrades | flightoffire
[10:50] <flightoffire> ty jrib, how
[10:51] <jrib> flightoffire: read ubottu's link
[10:51] <flightoffire> ubottu, I have sent an hour reading that and can't find simple clear step by step instructions.
[10:51] <jrib> flightoffire: (you should have backups anyway of course)
[10:53] <flightoffire> on the above EOLUpgrades link, where it says "Please make sure you have the following sources.list", do I enter the folloing commands in termianl?
[10:53] <icedwater> So it kinda works now...
[10:55] <jrib> flightoffire: the first step is making sure your natty install is fully upgraded.  Since the version is EOL, you can use the old-releases repository discussed in the Requirements section of the EOLUpgrades page. After you do that, apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade.  Now your system is up to date.  Then make sure you have update-manager.  Then use update-manager to upgrade to oneiric
[10:56] <sKeiths> how to tell version of ubuntu, i see lucid in sources but also note there can be 10.4 + .1 .2 .3 .4
[10:56] <jrib> sKeiths: .1 .2 .3 and .4 are not relevant
[10:56] <jrib> and it's "10.04", not "10.4"
[10:57] <sKeiths> thats right. typo.
[10:57] <sKeiths> thanks
[10:57] <flightoffire> ty jrib. Don't understand all the code yet.
[10:57] <jrib> sKeiths: those last numbers are just used to release images with some updates (so you don't have so many updates to download after a fresh install).  Just running regular updates once you install some form of 10.04 will keep you up to date
[10:58] <flightoffire> what is oneiric
[10:58] <sKeiths> ah, so i'm at 10.04.4+ already.
[10:58] <jrib> flightoffire: it's the code name for the version after natty
[10:58] <flightoffire> ok
[10:58] <icedwater> Oh dear... I got the right version of the svn binary, but svnadmin is still 1.8.0
[10:59] <Ig09I> hi all
[10:59] <icedwater> Never mind, gotta run. Be back later. :)
[11:00] <flightoffire> ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' gave "The package lists or status could could not be parsed or opened." Now what?
[11:01] <flightoffire> "encountered a section  with no Package: header"
[11:01] <DirtyJobs> Hi all, i am trying to create a pptp server on my ubuntu 12.04LTS. I'm following some detailed instruction but it just doesn't work as intended
[11:02] <jrib> flightoffire: no context...
[11:02] <jrib> DirtyJobs: you should provide details (use a pastebin if you can't fit them on one line)
[11:04] <flightoffire> jrib, context: after I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:04] <jrib> flightoffire: pastebin full input and full output; include the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:04] <flightoffire> difficult, it is on another computer not this one
[11:05] <flightoffire> I am using Mint for chat. Other computer for diagnostics
[11:05] <flightoffire> I will see what I can figure out
[11:05] <jrib> flightoffire: you just need to type the pastebin url here
[11:06] <flightoffire> I have used pastebin. The challenge is to get the data from the other pc to this chat window
[11:06] <jrib> flightoffire: you read the url and type it here
[11:06] <flightoffire> clarity, from the pc to pastebin then get url here
[11:07] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys. After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, grub spits out "error: incompatible licence." Does anybody know of any remedy to this?
[11:07] <S_alpha> did you disabled safe boot in your BIOS/UEFI ?
[11:08] <Mayazcherquoi> S_alpha: I don't believe I even have UEFI/GPT enabled.
[11:09] <dr_willis> from what im googling - that error can be caused by many things
[11:10] <Mayazcherquoi> Yeah. I have absolutely no idea what, though.
[11:10] <dr_willis> from what google says.. the boot-repair tool can reinstall grub and fix it in many cases
[11:11] <chunkyhead> guys like in windows we can hear the input of our mic, can i do so in ubuntu also? like live audio, get what i am saying?
[11:11] <dr_willis> The modules in /boot/grub do not
[11:11] <dr_willis> match the version of GRUB in the MBR.
[11:12] <Mayazcherquoi> dr_willis: I have read that as-well.
[11:12] <dr_willis> all the fixs ive seen basically are reinstalling grub one way or another
[11:12] <TakeItEZ> chunkyhead: click on the volume-applet "audio settings" "input", adjust level
[11:13] <S_alpha> whats so wrong in reinstalling grub?
[11:13] <Mayazcherquoi> dr_willis: According to grub-install --recheck, there were no errors.
[11:17] <chunkyhead> TakeItEZ, i wanna hear myself speak lol as and when i speak how to do that
[11:17] <chunkyhead> and is there a package which converts my audio into text? so that i dont need to type, i just dictate
[11:18] <dr_willis> Ive never seen those work very well
[11:18] <chunkyhead> dr_willis, that was to me?
[11:19] <dr_willis> Yep. Never seen speach-to-text that works well yet.. My android does it ok.. for some people.
[11:20] <TakeItEZ> imho it's faster to type your stuff than to correct all the errors from speach2text-software later
[11:20] <chunkyhead> TakeItEZ, dr_willis i just wanna try out stuff
[11:20] <chunkyhead> do u know any such package?
[11:20] <TakeItEZ> no
[11:20] <dr_willis> search the package manager listings
[11:20] <Mayazcherquoi> It appears this error occurs when the partitions are f**ked.
[11:20] <ShapeShifter499> does dd do anything if there are NO arguments?
[11:21] <Mayazcherquoi> Managed to get it to display the menu by reinstalling grub to the HDD.
[11:21] <WhiteHippo> hi, can someone point me to a cinnamon channel ?
[11:21] <WhiteHippo> is there a cinnamon channel?
[11:21] <Mayazcherquoi> But, selecting an option, gets the same error.
[11:21] <Mayazcherquoi> Bloody hell.
[11:21] <WhiteHippo> because i get pointed to the linuxmint cinnamon from the ubuntu website
[11:22] <dr_willis> Its their project i thought
[11:22] <dr_willis> !alia | WhiteHippo
[11:22] <dr_willis> !alis | WhiteHippo
[11:24] <ShapeShifter499> got my answer in ##linux
[11:24] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[11:25] <WhiteHippo> ok. alis wasn't much help, thanks for the effort anyway
[11:25] <dr_willis> guess none exist on this server
[11:25] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: answer is "no"?
[11:26] <ShapeShifter499> TakeItEZ, yes
[11:26] <ShapeShifter499> yes its "no"
[11:26] <TakeItEZ>  :D
[11:26] <ShapeShifter499> lol
[11:26] <jrib> that's not really true.  It will read from stdin and spit it back to stdout
[11:26] <TakeItEZ> jrib: no it doesnt
[11:27] <ShapeShifter499> TakeItEZ, well quoting from user in ##linux "<Terminus-> ShapeShifter499: without arguments, it reads from stdin and writes to stdout."
[11:27] <TakeItEZ> jrib: yes it does, sry. stdin != keyboard
[11:28] <sKeiths> i just did a dist-upgrade, any idea why a 'reboot' would not reboot. it said 'the system is going down for reboot now 15 minutes ago.
[11:28] <ShapeShifter499> jrib, nothing harmful to system or user data right?
[11:28] <TakeItEZ> ShapeShifter499: right, my bad
[11:28] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: nope
[11:28] <raven> how to move /usr to another partition?
[11:29] <ShapeShifter499> super
[11:29] <TakeItEZ> raven: boot a live-cd, move /usr, edit fstab, done
[11:29] <petoo> Hi
[11:31] <sKeiths> and no messages in /var/log/messages because kernel logging was stopped 15 minutes ago too
[11:32] <Mayazcherquoi> Well, that never worked: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636662/
[11:32] <Mayazcherquoi> :-/
[11:36] <sKeiths> solved: it seems my ssh session was holding up the reboot. once i disconnected ssh it rebooted immediatly.
[11:39] <lotuspsychje> hi all
[11:39] <hero100> hi. there are multiple PDF files opened at the same time, I click on the icon and there is only one window sometimes. no way to see another file 'under' it.
[11:39] <lotuspsychje> wich tool can repair bad sectors on an ntfs drive from ubuntu?
[11:40] <lotuspsychje> hero100:maybe try mupdf?
[11:40] <dr_willis> hero100:  alt-tab to  try to get to the others.. 13.04 has a quicklist feature for the launcher that fixes this issue
[11:42] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, open disk utility, and click the drive. What does it say about the health of the drive?
[11:42] <hero100> it happened sometime
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: disk is ok, 1400 bad sectors 31c/88f
[11:43] <Hyperbyte> On startup my Ubuntu 12.04 says "configure virtual network devices"... is this something specific to virtual machines, or is the 'virtual' referring to something else?
[11:43] <hero100> alt-tab works, thanks
[11:43] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, if you click the SMART button, are there red sections like for Reallocated Sectors?
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: not sure wich value you mean on smart, but type says: pre-fail will fail in 24h lol
[11:46] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, sounds like you need a new drive. cant be repaired
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:unrecoverable sectors:26
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:ok mate ill send it back to store
[11:47] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: tnx for your support
[11:47] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, how old is it?
[11:47] <ePax> I have problem connecting with openvpn. I have openvpn .zip file with .ovpn .p12 and .key and when i import all that into vpn in gnome-network-manager it asks for gateway and secret key wich i dont have...
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: kinda new WD elements
[11:48] <compdoc> no Reallocated Sectors?
[11:49] <compdoc> anyway, those raw values should be zero
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:not sure how thats called in my language, can you check the smart (id) for me?
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:oh think i found it (id5) 0 sectors
[11:51] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, any other sections besides unrecoverable sectors that are red?
[11:51] <kion> quick question i just upgraded to 12.10 and i want to have a password on my computer when it starts up before it gets to the log in to the desktop how would one accomplish this?
[11:53] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: i dont see colours on the smart screen
[11:53] <compdoc> ahh
[11:53] <dv-> kion: you can set a password with grub i imagine
[11:53] <kion> how would you do that
[11:53] <lotuspsychje> compdoc: write errors: 46 (id200)
[11:54] <bmxscott1993> hello
[11:54] <bmxscott1993> im am new to ubuntu
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:good choice mate
[11:55] <bmxscott1993> can some one tell my why have i got static on the boot screen that would not show up that just purple
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:selftest failed lol
[11:57] <compdoc> Quantity of uncorrectable errors. The raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of uncorrectable errors when reading/writing a sector. A rise in the value of this attribute indicates that there are evident defects of the disk surface and/or there are problems in the hard disk drive mechanical subsystem.
[11:57] <raven> www.pastebin.com/D2trMrDY how to make line 28 read the diff.txt?
[11:58] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, its an odd error. I dont think Ive seen that one. Usually, you see reallocated sectors and pending sectors
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:ok mate tnx, ill return the drive to the store
[11:58] <compdoc> ok, good luck
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> tnx
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> its not mine anyway :p
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> ssd inside here on ubuntu
[11:59] <otak> kion: have you seen this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords. Also you can usually password your bios.
[11:59] <bmxscott1993> can some one tell my why have i got static on the boot screen that would not show up that just purple
[11:59] <compdoc> lotuspsychje, on google, ppl suggest you run the WD diag program
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> compdoc:lemme try that1
[11:59] <compdoc> not sure its worth trying to fix, tho
[11:59] <kion> thank you very much i will look into it
[12:00] <bmxscott1993> go on seagate they got a cool diag program
[12:00] <bmxscott1993> it fix my hdd when it sound like it blow up
[12:03] <sKeiths> bmxscott1993 is it the same static every time on bootscreen or random
[12:03] <bmxscott1993> same
[12:04] <bmxscott1993> im running it long side windows and it where you pick windows or linux but it would not show the word to select so i have to gest every time
[12:05] <bmxscott1993> and it got static there to
[12:05] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:try update grub if you have win7 dualboot
[12:05] <bmxscott1993> i only have xp
[12:06] <bmxscott1993> i hate 7
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:or just clean install ubuntu single, then virtualbox your xp inside
[12:06] <lotuspsychje> i never liked dualboots
[12:06] <bmxscott1993> how do i do that
[12:06] <chunkyhead> i today saw a prof who hovered a mouse over an audio file and it started playing (w/o opening any app) do u guys know of anything like that?
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:install ubuntu on your whole hd, then after install virtualbox-ose
[12:07] <jrib> chunkyhead: older versionsn of ubuntu used to do that.  I think everyone complained it was annoying?
[12:07] <bmxscott1993> ow kl
[12:07] <bmxscott1993> il try it
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:then you can install xp virtual inside ubuntu
[12:07] <chunkyhead> jrib, there must be a way to get it back :(
[12:07] <lotuspsychje> if you still need it
[12:07] <bmxscott1993> but i was just thinking of getting ride of xp
[12:08] <chunkyhead> bmxscott1993, thats a good thought :)
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> bmxscott1993:good choice, there are so many alternative packages for ubuntu
[12:08] <bmxscott1993> cus there no support for it soon eney way
[12:08] <jony> how can I create a shortcut which will launch a command?
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> welcome to open source :p
[12:08] <jrib> chunkyhead: googling "nautilus sound preview" now...
[12:09] <chunkyhead> i got to know abt this thing called gnome-sushi, tried installing it, but it doesn't work for some reaons, do u need the gnome interface for it to work?
[12:10] <bmxscott1993> i do like linux
[12:10] <bmxscott1993> it just take time to thiger stuff out
[12:10] <sumit> hi
[12:11] <chunkyhead> jrib, oh my bad, it's working but that's not what i was looking for, i need to single click and then hit spacebar
[12:12] <jrib> chunkyhead: hmm?
[12:12] <bmxscott1993> i can sign in to this chat using my phone
[12:13] <chunkyhead> jrib, i just wanna hover to play..
[12:13] <jrib> chunkyhead: some sites say you need vorbis-tools and mpg321 installed for that to work
[12:14] <TakeItEZ> chunkyhead: i bet, after 1-2 days you don#t want it anymore :)
[12:14] <jrib> chunkyhead: although it doesn't seem to work here in 12.10 for me.  Maybe your professor was using kde?  Or was he using nautilus?
[12:15] <chunkyhead> jrib, what isn't working for you? i use 12.04 gnome-sushi works just fine.
[12:15] <chunkyhead> jrib, prof was using gnome afaik
[12:15] <jrib> chunkyhead: the hover ability
[12:15] <chunkyhead> TakeItEZ, i really love that
[12:15] <chunkyhead> jrib, which package did u use?
[12:16] <jrib> chunkyhead: some sites claimed one needs the mpg321 and vorbis-tools package for the feature to  work
[12:16] <dioioib> is gnome-sushi like a quick view
[12:16] <chunkyhead> jrib, links pls? :)

[12:17] <jrib> i hate all these blog sites.  They just copy one another.  Then the information gets outdated and it's impossible to find anything else
[12:18] <dioioib> jrib: agreed
[12:18] <chunkyhead> iirc it was there in 11.10 why did they remove it? jrib :'(
[12:18] <jrib> chunkyhead: it really is an annoying feature...
[12:19] <jrib> chunkyhead: someone claims in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1996247 that the feature was removed in gnome 3
[12:19] <bmxscott1993> you no you got the slider bar at the left hand side how do i make it like the windows one where you click like start and it come off like that
[12:22] <chunkyhead> jrib, i think i've almost got it, brb in a bit
[12:22] <capoderra> Hello, everyone! I just switched to 12.04 from Windows 7 and I'm very happy except there is one thing that I'm experiencing that I think is a little weird.  When I plug in my headphones, I expect the sound to go to my headphones or when I plug in my HDMI I expect the sound to go through the TV, but unfortunately I have to go into sound settings everytime I make a switch.  Is this normal operation?
[12:23] <chunkyhead> PS: it's not annoying unless you have loads of music files lying around everywhere
[12:23] <reCAPTCHA> Hey there. So I have a unique set-up. I cannot boot from a USB on a school computer, but I can boot from a dvd livedisk. I want to have persistence however... how can I accomplish this?
[12:24] <georgi> just found out by installing kernel 3.9 that the black screen is fixed
[12:24] <georgi> it is a release client do you know when the stable version will be released
[12:24] <chunkyhead> jrib, http://ubuntuguide.net/enable-audio-preview-in-nautilus tried this, not working :\
[12:24] <sanav> Hello , admin , please look at my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636772/
[12:24] <jrib> chunkyhead: yes, that's the same instructions the other site had...
[12:26] <chunkyhead> anyone know how to get output from speakers as and when i use the mic?
[12:26] <chunkyhead> jrib, nvm, if i come to know abt it i'll let you know, thanks bro :)
[12:26] <raftguide> hey people. I wanted to install an os (deb distr) from an usb stick, (fat32 form, burned iso with iso to usb on it) however when i try to boot from usb it tells me there that no os can be found. any input?
[12:27] <georgi> is anyone here
[12:27] <nevyn> no.
[12:27] <stefanct> any idea why https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/realtime cant be accessed although it is listed at https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+ppa-packages ?
[12:27] <capoderra> lot's of questions, no answers :)
[12:28] <sanav> capoderra:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636772/ , please look here
[12:28] <Abhijit> raftguide, which os?
[12:28] <Abhijit> georgi, ask the actual question
[12:29] <bmxscott1993> so how do i make custem a file so it just music cus on px you can right click and make the file music then you can click play and it play all the music in that folder
[12:29] <sanav> Abhijit:  hello , can you solve my problem bro http://paste.ubuntu.com/5636772/
[12:30] <Abhijit> sanav, what is the problem? describe it here first.
[12:30] <bmxscott1993> so how do i make custem a file so it just music cus on px you can right click and make the file music then you can click play and it play all the music in that folder
[12:31] <bmxscott1993> cus on xp
[12:31] <Abhijit> xp?
[12:31] <sanav> Abhijit: i can't use/mount  my USB and modem in ubuntu (guest OS on Virtual Box )
[12:31] <bmxscott1993> so how do i make custem a file so it just music cus on xp you can right click and make the file music then you can click play and it play all the music in that folder
[12:31] <sanav> bmxscott1993:  you need xml
[12:31] <sKeiths> sanav: seems like a win8 + virtualbox issue. device is not getting to ubuntu yet.
[12:32] <bmxscott1993> how do i do that
[12:32] <bmxscott1993> xml
[12:32] <bmxscott1993> what like html
[12:33] <sanav> bmxscott1993: Well, use google .Its a very easy language . Aha !
[12:33] <bmxscott1993> cus i found my hd music drive for my sound system
[12:34] <sanav> sKeiths:  then what should i do ? Can you suggest me any forum related to virtual Box  ? Please
[12:35] <sKeiths> sanav: windows 8 does not want to away modem (SB device 'HUAWEI HUAWEI Mobile' is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.)
[12:36] <sKeiths> maybe pull it out and reinsert until guest can grab it.
[12:36] <bmxscott1993> im still getting use to the lingo for liunx
[12:36] <sanav> sKeiths:  tried many times , but no sucess :(
[12:36] <sKeiths> disable modem in win8 device manager.
[12:37] <sanav> sKeiths:  O !
[12:37] <sKeiths> sanav: ?
[12:37] <georgi> Abhijit the actual question is do you know when the stable release of kernel 3.9 will be released
[12:38] <sanav> sKeiths:  if i do so , then in future i can't mount other USB . :(   .Each time i have to enable/disable its service
[12:39] <sanav> sKeiths: its a headache , don't you think so ;/
[12:39] <capoderra> sanav, I'm confused about why you want me to read that.
[12:40] <sanav> capoderra:  may be you have the solution
[12:41] <sKeiths> sanav: you cannot use the modem in both host and guest. normally this just works and host shares its network to all guests, but some isps restrict these usb modems to disallow this so you cannot share usb internet with a whole house.
[12:42] <sanav> sKeiths: ok  !
[12:44] <capoderra> sanav, virtualbox may be my solution?
[12:45] <BryanWB> where does upstart store pids for the processes it manages?
[12:48] <Physicist> My ubuntu 12.04 does not shut down, restart or suspend by itself. I have to force it with the power button. (shutdown) power off*
[12:49] <Physicist> Can anybody help me?
[12:50] <deung> what is your problem?
[12:51] <Physicist> I should maybe remove and reinstall my ATI driver...
[12:51] <Physicist> dr_willis: HI..
[12:51] <deung> ok i can help you
[12:53] <gyzelle> join /se7
[12:53] <deung> first you have to download the flgx drivers from the ati site
[12:54] <Physicist> deung: Are you talk with me?
[12:54] <capoderra> Hello, everyone! I just switched to 12.04 from Windows 7 and When I plug in my headphones, I expect the sound to go to my headphones or when I plug in my HDMI I expect the sound to go through the TV, but unfortunately I have to go into sound settings everytime I make a switch.  Is this normal operation?
[12:56] <deung> ok i musst search for ati too
[12:58] <deung> ok then you install the driver and konfigure it with sudo aticonfig --initial --force
[13:00] <MSDandrea> Hey everybody, I'm having a problem, sometimes when I open LibreOffice or TuxGuitar or any Wine application my screen gets blurred. my video card is a Nvidia 6100 nforce405
[13:00] <deung> the configuration is the importainst thing
[13:01] <deung> MSDandrea reinstall?
[13:01] <MSDandrea> deung, already done that
[13:02] <deung> what does google say???
[13:02] <MSDandrea> On Unity 2d it runs perfectly
[13:02] <octocpp> Anyone else having problems with the raid arrays comming up as md125 md126 md127, etc, in no particual order on reboots? I have metadata 1.2 so I can not do update=super-minor. Is there a way to get my md0-1 back again?
[13:03] <MSDandrea> That's a problem I haven't found in any forum a awnser, all the graphics problems are relately to ATI video cards
[13:04] <deung> mhm i don't know
[13:04] <MSDandrea> Thanks anyway
[13:05] <dioioib> whats the problem?
[13:05] <deung> you can install the latest ati driver. i had to do this too
[13:05] <MSDandrea> dioioib, my problem is that when i open Libreoffice or TuxGuitar or any wine application my screen gets blurred
[13:06] <dioioib> wow the entire screen?
[13:06] <MSDandrea> my video card is a Nvidia
[13:06] <dioioib> what version on ubuntu
[13:06] <MSDandrea> Yes
[13:06] <MSDandrea> 12.04
[13:07] <dioioib> and those are the only two programs?
[13:07] <MSDandrea> So far yes
[13:07] <MSDandrea> and wine applications
[13:07] <bobfleming> hi how is there any way to install build-essential offline? I tried downloading it from packages.ubuntu and all the deps but it wouldnt work,is there an easy way (im on windows and only have internet here)
[13:08] <dioioib> MSDandrea: are you using two monitors
[13:08] <DJJeff> something updated now all my fonts are "STUCK" on DejaVu Sans Book 10
[13:08] <MSDandrea> No only one
[13:09] <dioioib> could you post your xorg.conf I could take a look at it and see if I notice anything out of the ordinary but thats all I can think of it being right now. other than some unity effect
[13:09] <dioioib> problem
[13:09] <julian-delphiki> bobfleming, why not give your ubuntu machine internet? :)
[13:09] <MSDandrea> ok just a seccond
[13:10] <bobfleming> julian-delphiki: i need build-essential to install the wifi drivers
[13:10] <bobfleming> julian-delphiki: as the kernel ones (8192cu) dont work
[13:11] <bobfleming> *rtl8192cu
[13:11] <bobfleming> i need "8192cu" from a site but i need the build tools for it
[13:11] <julian-delphiki> bobfleming, and copying over the debs and installing them didn't work?
[13:11] <bobfleming> debs from where?
[13:11] <bobfleming> im on windows this is only comp with net
[13:11] <julian-delphiki> right, you said you downloaded .debs from packages.ubuntu?
[13:12] <MSDandrea> dioioib, I guess there's a problem with X because this is my xorg. conf
[13:12] <bobfleming> it seemed a bit of a mess, i tried to find all the deps ad copied them but still needed more deps
[13:12] <MSDandrea>  Section "Device" 	Identifier	"Default Device" 	Option	"NoLogo"	"True" EndSection
[13:12] <bobfleming> i wish there was a way to download all deps automaically as deb files
[13:12] <bobfleming> so i can copy them over
[13:13] <julian-delphiki> bobfleming, apt-get --print-uris install build-essential on the ubuntu box, assuming that is has anything in its apt-cache
[13:13] <bobfleming> julian-delphiki: i heard of that one, i will try it, then download them from the links on windows yes?
[13:13] <dioioib> MSDandrea: you have an empty xorg.conf?
[13:13] <julian-delphiki> bobfleming, yep.
[13:14] <julian-delphiki> I'm headed to work now, but i'll pop in here and see if I can't help in a bit.
[13:14] <bobfleming> ok thanks ill be back if i get problems
[13:14] <MSDandrea> not empty, i'm having this:  Section "Device" 	Identifier	"Default Device" 	Option	"NoLogo"	"True" EndSection
[13:14] <dioioib> ok
[13:14] <dioioib> and you installed the nvidia driver
[13:14] <MSDandrea> yes I installed from the Additional Drivers
[13:15] <Guest75902> hey peeps, ive gotten this vps which isnt using even 10% of its bandwidth.. im interested in giving approx 200/240gbs of bandwidth to the ubuntu community, but torrent seeding only staisfies only 40-50GBs in a good month,... any good ideas how to contribute more?
[13:15] <dioioib> did you run the config on it?
[13:15] <MSDandrea> sorry, I don't known how to do it
[13:16] <TakeItEZ> Guest75902: not ubuntu-related, install a tor-middlenode
[13:16] <Guest75902> TakeItEZ: no i want to contribute to ubuntu or any other linux distro specificly
[13:16] <LargePrime> I have silly SSH questions.  I have Ubuntu 12.10 on my server. I am trying to set up ssh user access.  the user cannot get the keys to work.  I added the key to the root/.ssh/authenticated keys file. Help please
[13:17] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: root account is locked, you cannot ssh in as root (which is a bad idea anyways).
[13:17] <terror> List
[13:17] <LargePrime> TakeItEZ: pardon?
[13:17] <dioioib> MSDandrea: here is a link that should help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-in-ubuntu
[13:18] <dioioib> i use ATI its much easier
[13:18] <Guest75902> TakeItEZ: basicly a mirror for the full image downloadable from the ubuntu.com site;but with a bandwidth restriction after 210gb (translates to about 3/400 downloads which is good for about 1/3 or 1/5th of the downloads on a daily basis im guessing
[13:18] <terror> !list
[13:18] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: add the pubkey to ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys, login as user, use sudo if you need root-rights
[13:18] <LargePrime> TakeItEZ:  where should the authorized keys file be found?
[13:19] <MSDandrea> I've already installed Nvidia drivers manually also but it didn't worked neither
[13:19] <dioioib> darn
[13:20] <LargePrime> TakeItEZ:  so /home/ user /.ssh/authorized_keys
[13:20] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: yes
[13:20] <MSDandrea> I guess I should report to canonical, because i haven't found anything like my problem with Nvidia only with ATI
[13:20] <LargePrime> TakeItEZ: does openssh not generate that dir.  do i have to amke it manualy for each user?
[13:21] <dioioib> you need to generate key files for each user
[13:21] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: it will be created the first time a user uses ssh, iirc
[13:21] <Guest75902> im guessing no one knows a good way to handle my ''problem'' ? =P
[13:21] <LargePrime> TakeItEZ:  it not generating
[13:21] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: "uses ssh" not "logs in via ssh"
[13:22] <dioioib> LargePrime: run keygen for each user. then the dir will be there
[13:22] <Craig> i have a problem using tasksel
[13:22] <Craig> cs@ubuntuSvr:~$ sudo tasksel
[13:22] <Craig> xserver-xorg					install
[13:22] <Craig> tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[13:23] <DJJeff> something updated now all my fonts are "STUCK" on DejaVu Sans Book 10
[13:23] <dioioib> LargePrime: the system will download that key into the authorized_hosts file and you need the hosts key in your authorized_keys file
[13:23] <TakeItEZ> dioioib: known_hosts
[13:23] <dioioib> the easy way of adding the keys is to: cat rsa_key.pub >> authorized_keys
[13:24] <LargePrime> dioioib:  run the keygen ?  I create the keys in putty and copy them to the server
[13:24] <MSDandrea> I'm also having another problem, my mouse wheel doesn't work correctly, it scrool up normally but whe I try to scrool down it goes Down and up again, it's very annoying
[13:24] <dioioib> don't worry about known_hosts it does it automatically
[13:24] <TakeItEZ> there is ssh-copy-id to spread pubkeys
[13:24] <sagarnikam123> #p2pu-community
[13:24] <dioioib> yeah that would work
[13:24] <dioioib> ssh copy id is a great tool
[13:24] <jony> I have a table printout in a txt file. How can I import it in Libreoffice Calc?
[13:25] <dioioib> LargePrime: can you telnet into the server
[13:26] <TakeItEZ> hopefully not
[13:26] <dioioib> lol
[13:27] <dioioib> I mean if you can't ssh can you open your port telnet in to run your keygen then close your ports and then login with ssh
[13:27]  * pyrobisqit is back (gone 00:07:04)
[13:27] <LargePrime> i can get into the server fine.  it is my users that are having issues.  dioioib  TakeItEZ
[13:27] <dioioib> oh
[13:27] <TakeItEZ> dioioib: there is no telnetd by default, so chances are low that someone fixes his ssh usnig telnet...
[13:27] <LargePrime> I guess my question is how do i make and prepare users for RSA keys logins
[13:28] <dioioib> I've done it on a router with linux before but you are right
[13:28] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: they create a keypair, using ssh-keygen. then they copy the pubkey onto the server, using ssh-copy-id. after that, they log n
[13:28] <LargePrime> all the guides seem to be from the "get it working pov
[13:28] <Hyperbyte> After following this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/aufsRootFileSystemOnUsbFlash my USB stick no longer gets an IP from the DHCP server on startup.  Running dhclient manually, it says "libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".  If I remove the aufs=tmpfs bit from grub and boot dhclient works again.  Any ideas what might be going on?
[13:28] <dioioib> LargePrime: best thing to do is get the user to run the keygen send you the key then append it to the authorize_keys file as TakeitEZ suggested
[13:29] <dioioib> you could do it manually or with ssh-copy-id from the host computer
[13:30] <B0BBY> is vlc not in standard ubuntu 12 repos?
[13:30] <jrib> !info vlc | B0BBY
[13:30] <B0BBY> sudo apt-cache search vlc shows nothing
[13:31] <jrib> B0BBY: you should say 12.04 or 12.10 by the way, not just 12 because it's not specific enough
[13:31] <B0BBY> jrib: 12.10
[13:31] <jrib> B0BBY: it's in universe
[13:32] <k1l> B0BBY: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=quantal&section=all
[13:32] <B0BBY> E: Unable to locate package vlc
[13:32] <jrib> B0BBY: then you don't have universe enabled
[13:32] <jrib> !repos | B0BBY
[13:32] <MSDandrea> I guess my mouse problem is related to X too | dioioib
[13:33] <B0BBY> jrib: thanks. enabling universe.
[13:33] <dioioib> MSDandrea: yeah with the buttons. You can configure that in X but I am still new at config of inputs in x
[13:34] <LargePrime> dioioib: TakeItEZ  Is there a common way for me to generate keys FOR users and have the correct directories created for them?  Then I can just send them keys?
[13:34] <MSDandrea> man i'm so glad Ubuntu is leaving X and compiz, this thing just gave me problems
[13:34] <TakeItEZ> LargePrime: man ssh-keygen, man ssh-copy-id     to read
[13:34] <LargePrime> or am i looking at creating a script
[13:34] <caraconan> Hi all. How can I just edit /etc/resolv.conf, reboot and do not lose the content? I already configured an static IP address. Thanks
[13:35] <LargePrime> but unless i am blind, and that happens, that is not from a sys admin tool point of view? TakeItEZ
[13:35] <TakeItEZ> !resolv.conf | caraconan
 thanks sir
[13:36] <dioioib> LargePrime: you can generate keys using ssh-keygen -t rsa -c <email> .. the c might be upper case you have to check the docs. but you would have to sort all user keys somehow.
[13:37] <lcabreza1> hi guys whats the difference between example.com/name and exam.example.com
[13:37] <lcabreza1> ?
[13:37] <bean> lcabreza1: a lot.
[13:37] <lucky___> I need help
[13:37] <bean> lcabreza1: they could point to completely different servers.
[13:37] <lucky___> urgently
[13:37] <k1l> !ask | lucky___
[13:37] <lcabreza1> bean: whats the advantage and disadvantage ?
[13:38] <bean> lcabreza1: it just depends on how you want to set it up. No real advantage either way.
[13:38] <k1l> lcabreza1: that is more a topic for the offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic
 the second one is a CNAME
[13:38] <caraconan> A DNS alias
[13:38] <lucky___> ok, sorry. I downloaded wubi and put the iso on the same folder but wubi is still trying to download the iso from the internet
[13:38] <azuro> ahojte   jen se  zeptam kdyz mam neco na  vzdalenem serveru  zapnute  v pozadi pod jednim usrem a odhlasim se a fungujeto dalej to je  to co chci ale   ted sem ne neco stalo stim user a  chci vytvorit noveho usera  bude  vse  fungovat jak do ted ?
[13:38] <caraconan> The first one depends on your HTTP server config, tipically virtual hosts
[13:38] <k1l> lucky___: wubi :(
 very self-explanatory
[13:39] <dioioib> ha
[13:39] <lucky___> wubi helps to use ubuntu inside windows just as a thid party program.
[13:40] <lucky___> @ubottu can you help?
[13:40] <sw> !bot | lucky___
[13:40] <izx> Printers not browseable in ubuntu 12.10. I have "browseable = yes" in smb.conf but i when i see "testparm -s" it is showing "browseable = no" How do i fix it??
[13:41] <petoo> HI
[13:41] <dioioib> lucky___: isn't wubi the installer for windows
[13:41] <k1l> lucky___: but because wubi is tied to windows its very very difficult to support. most recommend a native install
[13:41] <lucky___> I know, but I want to dual boot with xp
[13:42] <petoo> I am going to install kubuntu -desktop, what if I don't like it, can i remove it completely with all it's packages, so that I get my system back to it's earlier stage?
[13:42] <k1l> lucky___: there is no need for wubi
[13:42] <dioioib> yeah i think thats what it does installed grub and gives you dual boot
[13:42] <k1l> !dualboot | lucky___
[13:42] <petoo> hey , anyone?
[13:42] <lucky___> It doesn't let me boot into windows, I did it yesterday night. Though it provides the option to boot into xp.
[13:42] <k1l> dioioib: every ubuntu install can do a dualboot. but wubi installs into the windows partition into a container. that is a ticking timebomb that will go wrong.
[13:43] <dioioib> ahh
[13:43] <azuro> hi im runnig Cs go on ubuntu over virtuall server under  some  user  but  something i gone  wrong with thath user can i create  a nother  user  a just keep gone with what a was doing
[13:43] <lucky___> Today I had to fix bootsector
[13:43] <azuro> ?
[13:43] <dioioib> its been about 10 years for window and me. Lets say 6.04 LTS Ubuntu
[13:44] <lucky___> Tell me what's to be done now? Won't wubi work?
[13:44] <dioioib> k1l: why not just install a VM
[13:44] <lucky___> My ram is only 512mB
[13:44] <dioioib> ah
[13:44] <dioioib> I love xbuntu for that
[13:45] <k1l> ?
[13:45] <lucky___> for what?
[13:45] <dioioib> low ram
[13:45] <Ziggy> join #ubuntu+1
[13:45] <petoo> Ok
[13:45] <petoo> good
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> lucky___  wubi is only a pseudo install, it will get you frustrated and you'll come back here, telling ubuntu is no good
[13:47] <lucky___> I decided to burn the iso into a cd but realised my dvd rom is old enough to burn one :/
[13:47] <lucky___> monkey so what would you suggest?
[13:47] <lucky___> *MonkeyDust
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> lucky___  if you have enough free space, install ubuntu on its own partition
[13:48] <lucky___> As I said before I did so yesterday, but It didn't let me boot into XP, from the boot menu, I don't know why.
[13:49] <hikenboot> hello, is there a way to restore the old fashion gnome desktop that was around in the days of Intrepid and still use the latest ubuntu release?
[13:49] <azuro> thanks :p
[13:49] <hikenboot> I really dispise the new desktop and long for the old one...guess I am showing my age
[13:49] <lucky___> gnome panel
[13:49] <MSDandrea> Well everybody thanks for the help, I'll still search for the solutions, see ya! ^^
[13:50] <hikenboot> apt-get install gnome panel?
[13:50] <lucky___> Yea, try it
[13:50] <mariko> wow
[13:51] <hikenboot> also I notice a huge speed difference virtualizing it on Oracle VBox compaired with older versions
[13:51] <dioioib> hikenboot: yes gdm and pick the full version not light. or reinstall gnome3
[13:52] <dioioib> not a lover of unity myself
[13:53] <lucky___> Thinking to load xubuntu
[13:53] <hikenboot> I assume eventually they will kill off gnome3?
[13:54] <dioioib> probably. there is always mint if they do. :|
[13:54] <hikenboot> the younger folks probably can adapt but I hate the fact you cant even find the open and close program buttons
[13:54] <dioioib> for me its just not enough menu
[13:54] <dioioib> 8 icons down the side and a mac spotlight search for everything else.. gross.
[13:55] <hikenboot> ok i did an apt-get install gnome-session but I notice that it gave me no options for switching over...is there something i have to do to register it?
[13:55] <Guest67080> Hello. I want to be able to run a linux script when the usb key is inserted in the system... The system is already on and locked
[13:55] <dioioib> here let me find the install instructions for you
[13:56] <dioioib> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html
[13:56] <dioioib> thats the same one I used
[13:56] <hikenboot> thanks
[13:56] <dioioib> np
[13:56] <hikenboot> I will leave you alone now its appreciated
[13:58] <Guest67080> I am looking for a distro that can be booted and also be autoran after the primary OS is running
[13:58] <TLM> i need to run a script every time i plug in my external hard-drive, but i don't want to have to click a file or paste it into terminal, how can i make sure the script runs as soon as i plug it in?
[13:59] <seednode> Guest67080, wait, what?
[13:59] <seednode> You want a distro that can be used both as a Livedisk and as a virtual client?
[14:00] <Guest67080> ya
[14:00] <seednode> Um.
[14:00] <compdoc> Guest67080, are there any that youve tried that havent worked that way?
[14:01] <seednode> compdoc, what ones have you tried that have?
[14:02] <Guest67080> at the moment I am trying to use arch to make the first part work ...boot from the USB stick
[14:02] <mdegges_> does anyone know if it's possible to install the full version of ubuntu on a chromebook? I googled it but only see the option to install 'Chubuntu'
[14:02] <seednode> mdegges_, pixel or normal?
[14:03] <mdegges_> normal
[14:03] <seednode> Hm... Sorry, only know with Pixel
[14:03] <compdoc> Guest67080, not sure exactly how you mean "autoran after the primary OS is running"
[14:03] <seednode> I think he means one that can be run as a virtual machine within an OS, without a program? Couldn't really figure it out
[14:04] <mdegges_> thanks seed. will go through the regular install directions and see if it works
[14:05] <Guest67080> You have a windows & system thats booted and locked infront of you. What I am loking for is a disto+script that can be put on a usb stick so when its inserted in to the system that it can run onto of the OS and do x y z
[14:07] <compdoc> well, as far as I know, no computer can run an OS then run a second OS at the same time without a virtual machine
[14:07] <Android1218> I don't think that that's possible. A linux system can only run on windows inside a virtual machine, and then it cannot access windows functions.
[14:08] <Guest67080> so it would have to be a .sh file that can be ran from the konsole and a .cmd from the prompt
[14:09] <Android1218> you could install mingw or cygwin and execute bash scripts inside windows
[14:10] <Guest67080> can you install cygwin on a usb key that can be ran from any system
[14:11] <ikonia> how is this anything to do with Ubuntu ?
[14:11] <Android1218> google for cygwin portable or mingw portable
[14:11] <nhnguyen> o
[14:12] <nhnguyen> ec ec
[14:18] <kantlivelong> anyone know what /dev/mapper/ddf1_Data1 is? i setup software raid but typically i would just see md* devices.
[14:19] <nhnguyen> like shit
[14:22] <tritonio> Hello. I'm coming back to Linux after a long time, should I install 12.04 and upgrade using the upgrade button in a few days, or should I install the RC? Does the RC upgrade properly to a stable version?
[14:22] <kantlivelong> tritonio: i tend to stick w/ LTS
[14:22] <DC__> hi all...I have a laptop with Win7 and want to install alongside Ubuntu but when I get to Ubuntu installation it doesn't reognize that there is windows (nor that I have created 3 partition so I can one use for it)..so what is the problem?
[14:22] <kantlivelong> tritonio: but it really depends on what you want :)
[14:22] <DJones> tritonio: You could install 12.10, you can't upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04
[14:23] <Guest9620> how do i chang the slider launch bar
[14:23] <jrib> tritonio: 12.04 is the latest LTS (5 years of support from release), 12.10 is the latest stable release, and 13.04 is still in development (but yes you can upgrade to final once that gets released).  I would recommend 12.04 or 12.10.  Not 13.04 unless you actually want to help with development
[14:23] <Guest9620> to like a windows one
[14:24] <tritonio> kantlivelong, that is what I do on server installations but I like to be on the edge on my laptop. :-)
[14:24] <BluesKaj> tritonio:  13.04 is the latest RC as you call it , the latest stable release is 12.10 , not 12.04
[14:24] <holstein> !nounity | Guest9620 you might prefer going with a DE that is more windows like out of the box
[14:24] <kantlivelong> tritonio: then go for 12.10. unless you feel like doing dirty work on 13.04 if any arises.
[14:24] <tritonio> BluesKaj, sorry I meant 12.10 not 12.04.
[14:24] <tritonio> DJones, I meant 12.10. Sorry.
[14:26] <BluesKaj> tritonio:  yes 12.10 is quite stable , depending on your graphics hardware of course. There seem to be some problems with ATI on Unity
[14:27] <tritonio> BluesKaj, ouch. I've got ATI. I'm on 12.10 right now and it seems fine though. I'll see how it goes if I start minecraft later... ;-)
[14:27] <DJones> tritonio: I'd say if you're prepared to risk breakages on a daily basis, go ahead an try 13.04, but report bugs, if not install 12.10 and wait for then end of April for the 13.04 release before upgrading
[14:27] <DJones> tritonio: Minecraft works fine for me on 12.10
[14:27] <BluesKaj> tritonio:  sounds like you'll be ok then
[14:28] <tritonio> DJones, I'll keep using 12.10 then and upgrade in a few days. I just hope the upgrade button does a good job. I didn't have any trouble in the past with it but I've read a few staories about breaking the system by keeping old configurations and stuff.
[14:28] <tritonio> Thanks everyone for the opinions!
[14:28] <iKillCypher> Hello Guys
[14:28] <iKillCypher> isnt a new Ubuntu coming soon ?
[14:28] <iKillCypher> like in april or something

[14:29] <Guest9620> #right i got a 6 channel sound port how to i get it to play music out of my mic ports
[14:29] <num7> hi, does somebody know how the var. for the default gui-file-manager is called?
[14:30] <holstein> Guest9620: thats going to depends mostly on the hardare.. if the device is designed to send audio out of an input like that
[14:30] <Guest9620> cus i just swich to ubuntu
[14:30] <holstein> Guest9620: i would say, take it slow.. just use a stereo out... do some normal things and just get used to the OS
[14:30] <Guest9620> il put my mother boad make so you no
[14:30] <BluesKaj> your mic ports aren't meant to play music out of they're mic inputs , Guest9620
[14:31] <holstein> Guest9620: i wont know.. mic ports arent typically made to send audio like what you are trying to do, as BluesKaj says
[14:31] <Guest9620> http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=857&MenuID=20
[14:32] <Guest9620> they are cus it is a  way channel on my computer i did it on xp
[14:32] <holstein> Guest9620: you cant compare windows driver support... you can refer to ...
[14:32] <holstein> !audio | Guest9620
[14:32] <edheldil> Hi, why doesn't a package that depends on otherpackage (<< version)  pull in an older version of otherpackage when it's available?
[14:33] <DC__> anyone?
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> DC__  anyone what?
[14:33] <holstein> Guest9620: what would i do? just use the stereo out for now, and get used to the OS... think about how long you used windows before configuring surround sound
[14:33] <DC__> hi all...I have a laptop with Win7 and want to install alongside Ubuntu but when I get to Ubuntu installation it doesn't reognize that there is windows (nor that I have created 3 partition so I can one use for it)..so what is the problem?
[14:34] <DC__> MonkeyDust, that ;)
[14:34] <holstein> DC__: i would try "sudo update-grub" and see if it picks up the windows install
[14:34] <Android1218> DC_: have you tried the manual partitioning option?
[14:34] <xorrbit> Why does Software Update have more updates than apt-get?
[14:34] <Guest9620> i download one and it notest i put one  jack in all my ports but all i need it to do it chang the in putts to out
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> DC__  boot the live cd or usb and use gparted for the partitions
[14:34] <DC__> Android1218, yes I have
[14:34] <bean> xorrbit: because it does a dist-upgrade
[14:34] <xorrbit> or rather, how can I do updates with the Update Manager via the command line?
[14:34] <xorrbit> ah
[14:34] <xorrbit> dist-upgrade
[14:35] <xorrbit> that's scary :)
[14:35] <DC__> MonkeyDust, I did but it doesn't recognize partitions and that has windows on it
[14:35] <holstein> xorrbit: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:35] <xorrbit> hmm no that's not it
[14:35] <Android1218> DC__: so it does not show you any partitions at all?
[14:35] <tmclaugh[work]> Hi, how do I detmerine what repository a particlar installed package came from?
[14:35] <xorrbit> apt-get dist-upgrade also shows nothing
[14:35] <DC__> MonkeyDust, I just recognizes my hard disk as complete (as one) but no partitions
[14:35] <xorrbit> yet Update Manager shows a bunch of updates
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> tmclaugh[work]  apt-cache policy [package]
[14:36] <holstein> xorrbit: if you do "apt-get upgrade" and not "dist-upgrade" there could be a kernel upgrade that dosent go
[14:36] <DC__> Android1218, it shows only my disk (not any partition)
[14:36] <Guest9620> cus it use RealTek High Definition Audio driver but it for liunx but can not find any think on the web
[14:36] <holstein> xorrbit: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ...you can copy paste that
[14:36] <tmclaugh[work]> MonkeyDust: thank you for that
[14:36] <tmclaugh[work]> Found it.
[14:37] <xorrbit> oh wait I was in the wrong terminal
[14:37] <xorrbit> oops
[14:37] <xorrbit> yes it appears to work :P
[14:37] <xorrbit> thanks
[14:37] <FloodBot1> xorrbit: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:38] <edheldil> why, when I do apt-get install PACKAGE and  the PACKAGE depends on PACKAGE2 (<< version), does not apt-get  pull in an older version of PACKAGE2 when it's available and instead refuses to install PACKAGE2?
[14:39] <Guest9620> i do like ubuntu now better than windows i just got to get use to it
[14:39] <edheldil> refuses to install PACKAGE
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> edheldil  apt-get installs what's in the repos
[14:39] <nhungloi> hello
[14:39] <holstein> edheldil: there are other package managers.. try aptitude
[14:39] <somsip> !aptitude
[14:39] <nhungloi> hello :D
[14:40] <h-bomb> is 100 percent cpu usuage normal when watchcing 1080p you tube vids? I assume is has something to do with flash?
[14:40] <holstein> h-bomb: flash or the graphics driver i bet
[14:40] <Android1218> DC__: have a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878204
[14:40] <h-bomb> ok
[14:40] <edheldil> MonkeyDust:  yeah, but the older version is in the repos as well... it's our own repository
[14:40] <escott> h-bomb, flash is rather poorly written
[14:40] <holstein> h-bomb: try http://www.youtube.com/html5
[14:41] <theadmin> escott: How do you know, do you work at Adobe?
[14:41] <h-bomb> escott, i can tell
[14:41] <h-bomb> i bump it down to 720 still 100 percent
[14:41] <h-bomb> but then next level down at 480
[14:41] <h-bomb> cpu drops to nothing
[14:41] <edheldil> holstein:  it used to work in Lucid, does not in Precise
[14:41] <holstein> h-bomb: and the html version?
[14:41] <escott> theadmin, its pretty common knowledge that its not well optimized
[14:41] <holstein> edheldil: it?
[14:41] <h-bomb> testing it now
[14:41] <h-bomb> nope
[14:41] <h-bomb> no htm5
[14:42] <h-bomb> im not in the beta group
[14:42] <theadmin> Why is the music lens not finding anything? Not even local music...
[14:42] <h-bomb> and ive disabled pepper flash because of the yellow dots
[14:42] <h-bomb> so yeah, its gotta be the flash then
[14:42] <edheldil> holstein:  apt-get install used to automatically pull in an older version in the above case, now it does not anymore
[14:43] <Guest84841> Hello, i downloaded the supported version of ubuntu for my dell http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201203-10678/ but wen i put in the disc and reboot notihng happen, just the dell logo is visible. when i press F2 or F12 (for bootopeiont) nothing happen. can someone help me?

[14:43] <jovem> How to install Ubuntu in BitchX? I've tried the source and did not work ..
[14:43] <holstein> Guest84841: since all machines bios's are different, we realy can only make suggestions based on your comments
[14:44]  * h-bomb will just use 480p from now on and then save 1080p for when i really want to hd goodness
[14:44] <holstein> Guest84841: i would go into the bios and make sure you are set to boot CD's first.. or see if there is a popup options for choosing the boot device manually
[14:44] <iKillCypher> uh does ubuntu has offical USB Writer cause Im on windows 7 now and I want to write ubuntu 64bit into my usb ?
[14:45] <holstein> jovem: you mean, you want bitchx in ubuntu?
[14:45] <holstein> !info bitchx
[14:45] <theadmin> iKillCypher: There are instructions on ubuntu.com
[14:45] <edheldil> holstein:  I can simply install the older version or force it with /etc/apt/preferences, that's not the point - I would like to know if there's a knob in config for it, if there was a change in policy opr something like that
[14:45] <theadmin> jovem: That client is long dead, use irssi or such
[14:45] <Beatstreet> if I have a RADI5 with 3 partitions and 1 of the partitions has a LUKS header. how do I get md1 (the whole RAID) to have a LUKS header?
[14:45] <holstein> edheldil: there are no knobs in apt that i am aware of

[14:47] <jovem> theadmin, And very early, but I wanted to use it .. ubuntu and I cant
[14:47] <holstein> Guest84841: sure.. and that has nothing to do with ubuntu.. take the ubuntu disk out, and try and get to the machines bios..
[14:47] <theadmin> jovem: Right. It's dead. It's no longer developed. Broken. Understand?
[14:48] <num7> Thanks for the link MonkeyDust
[14:48] <holstein> jovem: i downloaded http://www.bitchx.com/download/BitchX-1.1-final-linux.tar.gz ,did you?
[14:49] <Pinkamena_D> how can i specify a list of commands to execute (as sudo) on startup?
[14:49] <Pinkamena_D> 11.10
[14:49] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: 11.10 is no longer supported.
[14:49] <theadmin> Oh wait
[14:49] <theadmin> My bad
[14:49] <jovem> theadmin, former users still use it man..
[14:50] <jovem> holstein, already tried that link not only the right ubuntu
[14:50] <Pinkamena_D> for server, i stay with the older version
[14:50] <holstein> jovem: its working for me
[14:50] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: There are many ways to do it. One way is to create a script and a .conf file in /etc/init/something.conf, with two lines: "start on startup" and "exec /path/to/script"
[14:50] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: Another one is to add the commands to /etc/rc.local
[14:51] <holstein> jovem: i extracted the above package, and navigated to it in the terminal and launched it.. and it ran just fine it seems.. whats the issue?
[14:52] <Pinkamena_D> excuse a noob, but the script is not something I ever have to spefict a path to. in this case IP and IFCONFIG, can i still write then the way i usually do?
[14:52] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: No, write a script, your own file, put it in /usr/local/bin/something
[14:52] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: Start with #!/bin/bash and then use all commands as you normally would
[14:52] <Pinkamena_D> ok
[14:53] <escott> Pinkamena_D, if you aren't using any bashisms #!/bin/sh would be preferred for an init script
[14:53] <bmxscott1993> is it true you can not get virus on Linux
[14:54] <theadmin> escott: Eh... I wrote initscripts in Perl before so whatever :P
[14:54] <theadmin> bmxscott1993: Yep.
[14:54] <bmxscott1993> sick
[14:54] <jovem> holstein, you did everything by the terminal? I'll try again here ..
[14:54] <mJayk> bmxscott1993:  no
[14:54] <mJayk> bmxscott1993:  its not true
[14:54] <sfoobar> hey, i am looking for a support channel on freenode for touchpads and/or synaptic
[14:54] <holstein> bmxscott1993: you wont get viruses written for windows on linux.. linux is still vulnerable to attacks
[14:54] <rsthelord> Hey guys!! i am booting ubuntu server 12.04 lts from a pendrive using universal usb installer but an error has come up saying failed to copy from cd-rom.. what to do/
[14:54] <auronandace> bmxscott1993: practically yes, technically no
[14:54] <DJones> !virus | bmxscott1993
[14:55] <holstein> rsthelord: i usually just put them on a CD.. but there are work-arounds.. can you just make a CD?
[14:56] <bmxscott1993> kl
[14:56] <bmxscott1993> you no Microsoft stop supporting xp so it easy to hack and get virus now
[14:56] <Pinkamena_D> ok, two questions
[14:56] <MSDandrea> Hey everybody, I'm having a problem, sometimes when I open LibreOffice TuxGuitar or any Wine application my screen get all blurred, on Unity 2d that doesn't happens, my video card is a Nvidia 6100 nforce 405, I was here early but nobody could give me a anwser
[14:56] <theadmin> bmxscott1993: Heh... Well, Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months, LTS releases are supported for five years (so I recommend LTS). However, upgrades are quick, free and painless.
[14:57] <Pinkamena_D> where does the .conf file supposed to be placed. and is their an preferred extension for scripts?
[14:57] <escott> theadmin, yeah just saying its preferred is all
[14:57] <MSDandrea> what should I do to solve this?
[14:57] <holstein> bmxscott1993: try a windows support channel for xp support and discussion
[14:57] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: /etc/init, like I said.
[14:57] <bmxscott1993> msdandrea you got the same card as me
[14:57] <escott> MSDandrea, why is libreoffice a wine application?
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> MSDandrea  you can run libreoffice natively in ubuntu
[14:57] <theadmin> escott: You're misreading: "LibreOffice, TuxGuitar OR any wine application"
[14:57] <MSDandrea> No the native LibreOffice
[14:58] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: As for "extensions", they don't mean a single thing in Linux, you could name an audio file "picture.jpg" and it'd still be recognized as an audio file by most apps.
[14:58] <iKillCypher> I feel Ubuntu is damn cool :S
[14:59] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: They're used by the DOS/Windows families only.
[14:59] <Pinkamena_D> so you guys usually just leave them blank for scripts??
[14:59] <Pinkamena_D> (i mean more for professional looking them doing anthing
[14:59] <iKillCypher> just have to figure out how do programs in Ubuntu then my job will be done ditching windows forever :(
[14:59] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: Me, yes. Some people use ".sh" for scripts.
[15:00] <theadmin> Pinkamena_D: Well, for shell scripts that is. Perl scripts are .pl, Python are .py
[15:00] <MSDandrea> bmxscott1993 did that happened to you?
[15:00] <holstein> MSDandrea: libreoffice makes native versions for ubuntu.. its in the repos..
[15:00] <holstein> !into | libreoffice
[15:00] <holstein> !info | libreoffice
[15:00] <escott> theadmin, well thats an ambiguous or in common usage, but sure he could mean that
[15:01] <MSDandrea> Yes I run the native LibreOffice, and TuxGuitar is native too
[15:01] <iKillCypher> do you guys get paid for developing ubuntu ?
[15:01] <theadmin> holstein: You people are misreading, (s)he's just listing apps with which (s)he's having problems.
[15:01] <holstein> theadmin: thanks
[15:02] <theadmin> iKillCypher: There are hardly any developers in this channel. Surely though, Canonical pays its' employees, but there are many volunteers around the world which do that without asking for money.
[15:03] <bmxscott1993> can some one tell me here i can get good themes from
[15:03] <holstein> bmxscott1993: i just search the repos
[15:03] <donttrustem> anyone here using virtualbox ... I am having problems with detecting USB

[15:04] <rachid> ara
[15:04] <donttrustem> theadmin, I cannot find it
[15:04] <theadmin> donttrustem: They're available on virtualbox.org, download them and install, they add USB support.
[15:04] <bmxscott1993> i love liunx cus you get help easy and your all friendly
[15:05] <donttrustem> theadmin,  I am on the site but they are not there
[15:05] <donttrustem> opps!  found them :)
[15:06] <MSDandrea> I've been lookin for a anwser for a very long time but looks like I'm the only one having this problem, I just don't know what to do
[15:08] <dekroning> hi
[15:08] <holstein> MSDandrea: i would try with different graphics drivers.. nomodeset from a live CD is an easy way to test
[15:09] <dekroning> is it possible to use 'ufw' command and configure masquerading from lxcbr0 to eth0 ?
[15:10] <dekroning> or do I need iptables for this more advanced stuff ?
[15:10] <MSDandrea> I've already done that, I've installed the ones from the Additional Drivers, from the Nvidia site, even Xorg-edgers, none worked
[15:11] <theadmin> dekroning: ufw is fairly primitive to be honest, it is an "uncomplicated" firewall after all. It *might* be possible but I doubt it. So use iptables, especially if you know how.
[15:13] <donttrustem> theadmin, installed but still not seeing the usb drive :S
[15:13] <dekroning> theadmin: ah I thought the "u" stood for "Ubuntu" :)
[15:13] <dekroning> theadmin: so basically i'm down to /etc/ufw/  and modifye the rules there without using the ufw command it self? or you say, ditch ufw all together?
[15:14] <theadmin> dekroning: Nay, all rules are accessible and modifiable with the "ufw" command, editing the configs manually will probably just mess things up (well, that is, if you do it wrong :P) but definetly shall give no advantage.
[15:14] <kevin|WORK> hey all. so i need to vnc into my machine but i forgot to log in to create the :0 display. is there something i can do? like, ssh in and then create it over command-line? or log in remotely in lightdm or something *shrug*
[15:15] <dekroning> theadmin: but in here they also add stuff to the files them selves: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/firewall.html#ip-masquerading
[15:15] <theadmin> dekroning: hhmmmmm, okay, then I'm wrong.
[15:15] <compdoc> kevin|WORK, if youve installed some vnc service, then ssh is fine
[15:15] <Conehead> Pls advise on the best open source and stable (preferably browsable) backup imaging tool
[15:15] <dekroning> theadmin: np :-) didn't mean to tell you, you we're wrong though :)
[15:16] <theadmin> Conehead: Imaging as in taking the image of a disk? dd then. They're not exactly "browsable", you can mount them though.
[15:17] <kevin|WORK> compdoc: what do you mean? i have ssh, but i can't vnc in (because my user isn't logged in to server on :0) . im reading http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/lightdm/2011-October/000170.html now, hopefully that's in the right direction
[15:17] <val_> i've made a basic conf file for forcing upstart to start a program on my filesystem, i was just making the job to execute a program that fputs(getenv("HOME"), file); but looking into the file (it has well been created) i come up with nothing written, why ? are the jobs not even started as root privileges ?
[15:18] <compdoc> kevin|WORK, ah, so you mean you havent enabled vino, for desktop sharing. someone needs to log into the console for that to work. Otherwise, you can just install vnc4server, or tightvnc server
[15:19] <MSDandrea> I'm having another problem that I think is related to X too, my mouse wheel does not work as expected it scrool up normally but when I try to scrool down it goes down and up, how to fix that?
[15:19] <holstein> MSDandrea: if it were my box, i would try another graphics driver, since that could be causing those issues.. nomodeset from a live CD would be an easy way i would test that
[15:20] <Conehead> theadmin: I tried so many in vain, that dd must be my last hope indeed, I'll try. Can you advice on dd's parameters pls?
[15:20] <theadmin> Conehead: The generic syntax is "dd if=/dev/sda of=imagefile"
[15:20] <MSDandrea> holstein, thanks man I will
[15:20] <MSDandrea> try that
[15:20] <theadmin> Conehead: It has many other parameters so you may want to read the manual page and figure out what's best for you.
[15:21] <chunkyhead> is there a karaoke package in ubuntu which automatically syncs my recording and karaoke track
[15:21] <Conehead> theadmin: thnx alot, I'll read the f*man
[15:23] <MSDandrea> So, should I directly report my graphics issues to Canonical, if yes How do I do that?
[15:23] <chunkyhead> is there a karaoke package in ubuntu which automatically syncs my recording and karaoke track when i am singing. so basically i wanna create covers
[15:23] <k1l> !bug | MSDandrea
[15:23] <donttrustem> theadmin:hmm! still can detect the usb drive  :S
[15:23] <theadmin> donttrustem: Did you connect it through the devices menu?
[15:23] <MSDandrea> Thanks guys
[15:24] <MSDandrea> or girls ^^
[15:24] <donttrustem> theadmin:it is not showing any in devices
[15:24] <MSDandrea> chunkyhead, if you wanna to record covers you could use a program called Audacity, It's on the Ubuntu Software center
[15:25] <tritonio> Soooo. I did all the upgrade on my freslhy installed 12.10 and the new kernel fails to recognize my wlan card and doesn't even show the password screen for disk decryption when booting. :-/

[15:25] <donttrustem> yep
[15:26] <forelle> Hallo everyone
[15:26] <theadmin> donttrustem: Hmmmm... This is odd.
[15:26] <donttrustem> theadmin:very and it is causing me a bloody big problem :(
[15:27] <theadmin> donttrustem: Is it just a data storage thing? If so why not just add a shared folder? :P
[15:28] <donttrustem> theadmin:No I need to create a bootable USB drive formy MAC through a windows box
[15:28] <donttrustem> been trying to get this done for 4 days now
[15:28] <forelle> I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my mothers notebook and she likes it. Now it looks like I have to deinstall it and go back to Wi for there is no way to get her Ipod 6G to work with that (tried Exaile, Rhythmbox, gtkpod). Any solutions?
[15:28] <theadmin> ...oh...
[15:29] <theadmin> forelle: IIRC some people have succesfully gotten iTunes to work in Wine. Try it.
[15:31] <forelle> k I will try the wine solution
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> forelle  is this useful? i don't have an ipod myself http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804761
[15:32] <donttrustem> theadmin:itś strange because ubuntu see all the drives but virtualbox only see the cd drives and external usb drives.  It doesn see the usb thumb drive :S
[15:33] <theadmin> donttrustem: That is strange indeed... I dunno, really.
[15:34] <forelle> I read there is an isue with Libgpod and Ipod 6G
[15:34] <capoderra> what's this thing that happens when i'm in a software and everything dims? what is that?
[15:34] <capoderra> I just lost an hour of work.
[15:35] <theadmin> capoderra: That means the program hung. Not responding.
[15:35] <theadmin> capoderra: You should save more often.
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> capoderra  and backup
[15:37] <jrib> capoderra: what program?
[15:37] <forelle> K what I found: Ipod 6G is currently not supported by Libgpod (which is the lib most apps use for talking to an Ipod)
[15:37] <theadmin> forelle: Did you try iTunes yet...?
[15:38] <forelle> I will
[15:38] <capoderra> it happened again in libre writer.
[15:38] <capoderra> what is going on???
[15:38] <chunkyhead> MonkeyDust, does it overlap my recording and karaoke?
[15:38] <jrib> capoderra: did you try just waiting?
[15:38] <forelle> but Im not sure if it will recognize the Ipod? wasn't there some USB issue?
[15:38] <Michiellllaptop> is there something more compatible with and perhaps more alike excel than libreoffice calc?
[15:38] <jrib> Michiellllaptop: probably not
[15:38] <theadmin> Michiellllaptop: Not really.
[15:39] <theadmin> LO is the most functional and compatible office suite around
[15:39] <jrib> unless you accept "excel" as an answer
[15:39] <forelle> but thanks anyways
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> chunkyhead  haven't tried... if you find out, then you are the expert
[15:39] <forelle> I will try that
[15:39] <chunkyhead> MonkeyDust, haha
[15:40] <Michiellllaptop> ok, pity... thnx anyways
[15:40] <kantlivelong> hey all.. in parted how to do set the flags boot, raid? it seems to only allow me to set one
[15:40] <escott> kantlivelong, raid is not bootable and linux doesnt care
[15:40] <escott> kantlivelong, so just mark it as raid and leave it be
[15:41] <kantlivelong> escott: if its raid i cant install grub :/
[15:43] <escott> kantlivelong, if you have raid 1 mirroring, then grub can reliably boot that (but its not actually booting it as raid, its just booting the individual mirror)
[15:44] <kantlivelong> escott: yes.. but i cant even installl grub
[15:44] <escott> kantlivelong, for raid0 or other stripped raid levels you are best having a boot partition that is raid1 or non-stripped
[15:44] <compdoc> wow:   Ubuntu is going to become the reference architecture for a Linux distribution, backed and developed by the Chinese government.
[15:44] <kantlivelong> escott: "this gpt partition table has no bios boot raid"
[15:44] <kantlivelong> :/
[15:45] <escott> kantlivelong, gpt is very different. are you doing gpt+bios or gpt+efi?
[15:45] <Rallias> Is there a USB tethering thing I can use that doesn't require additional software on my computer?
[15:45] <kantlivelong> i dont know why 12.04.2 is so complicated... it wont even show the disks if they are MBR. it will show if they are GPT.... GPT+BIOS
[15:46] <escott> kantlivelong, i don't believe that gpt has a [bios] boot flag at all (the only OS that would care is windows and its not bootable on gpt+bios)
[15:46] <escott> kantlivelong, because your system is booting the usb stick/cdrom in efi mode
[15:46] <theadmin> Rallias: Depends on your phone. Android's built-in tethering mechanisms work just fine for example, Ubuntu sees them as an Ethernet connection.
[15:46] <escott> kantlivelong, so it won't show a msdos partitioned disk because from its perspective the msdos partitioned disk is not bootable as your system is an efi system
[15:47] <Rallias> theadmin, It's disabled by LG.
[15:47] <theadmin> Rallias: Oh... Cyanogenmod is probably the answer, eh.
[15:47] <Rallias> There's not a build for my phone.
[15:47] <kantlivelong> escott: so what can i do here? the installer wont show any disks in MBR.. and i dont think this board has EFI
[15:48] <theadmin> Oh... sad hamsters.
[15:49] <kantlivelong> i dont know why this is so complicated... ive never had this crap problems before
[15:49] <escott> kantlivelong, it probably does have efi. but its configured to boot the hard disk in msdos. you can verify by checking if /sys/firmware has an efi/uefi directory. then go into your efi setup and change how the usb/cdrom boots to make it boot in bios mode and the installer will allow you to install to an msdos partitioned disk with grub-bios instead of grub-efi
[15:49] <greenit> hi, i have a problem with the package "dvd-slideshow"...  when i execute it, it comes to the point where it uses ffmpeg and there it exits with an error... here is it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5637309/   can any1 help me plz?
[15:49] <escott> kantlivelong, its just the pains of EFI, what the installer is doing is sensible although frustrating
[15:50] <kantlivelong> escott: its weird because i installed 12.04.0 on another server of the same model with no issues
[15:50] <escott> kantlivelong, its trying to do the right thing and not leave you with an unbootable configuration, but it doesn't have enough information to know that what you want to happen is possible
[15:50] <theadmin> greenit: That's a fairly ridiculous error, does it have any verbose mode where one can see the actual ffmpeg output?
[15:51] <Michiellllaptop> so how would I use excel on ubuntu?
[15:51] <escott> kantlivelong, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1015211
[15:51] <Michiellllaptop> jrib:
[15:52] <jrib> Michiellllaptop: you can look into crossover office.  I'm surprised calc is not sufficient for you though
[15:52] <greenit> theadmin, seems like no
[15:52] <jrib> Michiellllaptop: or use a virtual installation of windows
[15:53] <Michiellllaptop> jrib: i got some weird differences in what i had done when i opened it in excel last time
[15:53] <kantlivelong> escott: stuffs so complicated nowadays :P
[15:53] <kantlivelong> haha
[15:53] <Michiellllaptop> and a lot of shortcuts just don't work, sadly
[15:53] <escott> kantlivelong, again check for the presence of an efi folder in /sys/firmware/ and send us the output of "sudo parted -l" to confirm my diagnosis
[15:53] <escott> kantlivelong, EFI is a real delight
[15:55] <druid> Salut

[16:20] <MatRoo> im thinking about buying http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Linux-Kernel-Third-Daniel/dp/0596005652 but im wondering how much changes have been since 2.6 compared to the 3.2 now?
[16:21] <tgm4883> MatRoo, which 2.6?
[16:22] <greenit> i have a problem with "dvd-slideshow", can any1 help me plz? i executed it, but it stops working when it comes to ffmpeg, here is the error-output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5637411/
[16:22] <jab416171> when I go from two monitors to one monitor, the way Ubuntu moves my windows is really strange. How can I fix that?
[16:22] <MatRoo> tgm4883: the linux kernel version
[16:22] <MatRoo> the refered book only covers till 2.6
[16:23] <MatRoo> right now we're on about 3.2 /3.3
[16:23] <ikillcypher> hello guys how do I know if my ATI card is working normally on my ubuntu ?
[16:23] <tgm4883> MatRoo, ok, so to answer your question, 2.6.0 had 5,929,913 lines of code. 3.2 had 14,998,651. So quite a lot?
[16:23] <MatRoo> ikillcypher: try a live cd? =P
[16:24] <MatRoo> tgm4883: crap =P thanks tough
[16:24]  * ikillcypher has ubuntu already install
[16:24] <jhutchins_wk> ikillcypher: Can you see this?
[16:24] <ikillcypher> see what ?
[16:25] <ikillcypher> yes I can but Im make sure im not running VGA
[16:25] <jhutchins_wk> ikillcypher: This text.
[16:25] <ikillcypher> so what is the command in terminal to check and see if it installed correctly
[16:25] <tgm4883> MatRoo, that is why it's important to know the version number. eg. 2.6.39 is much less different than 3.2, compared to 2.6.0
[16:25] <jhutchins_wk> ikillcypher: You probably want to check what resolution you're running at.
[16:25] <brontide> Just spent some time setting up ip6tables rules… how do I preserve them across reboots?
[16:26] <ikillcypher> how does that help ?

[16:26] <MatRoo> tgm4883: specifies*

[16:27] <Catbuntu> how can I set some files to be copied to the user's home folder when building a deb package?
[16:27] <Catbuntu> for example, to set something to be copied to /usr/local/bin I create the folder package/usr/local/bin and copy the files there.
[16:28] <jhutchins_wk> ikillcypher: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  Keep going until and unless you encounter a problem.
[16:28] <Catbuntu> Can I just do package/~/.some/file.conf?

[16:29] <jrib> Catbuntu: a package copying things into home seems wrong
[16:29] <Catbuntu> why?
[16:29] <jrib> Catbuntu: well for starters, whose home should it copy to?
[16:29] <Catbuntu> It's for hosting config files.
[16:30] <brontide> ever learn about /etc/skel ?
[16:30] <ripthejacker> how to set static ip in ubuntu?
[16:30] <Catbuntu> jrib, it depends.
[16:30] <fslima0> ifconfig
[16:30] <jrib> Catbuntu: usually there's some system-wide conf location for a program and the program itself creates conf files in the home
[16:30] <streulma> ripthejacker: /etc/network/interfaces
[16:31] <Catbuntu> oh, that's true
[16:31] <ripthejacker> i have currently set it using the /etc/network/interfaces

[16:31] <jrib> Catbuntu: yes
[16:31] <tsunameeee> anyone have any ideas on the ashavar alclient issue?
[16:31] <Catbuntu> The problem is that the program needs a config file to run.
[16:31] <ripthejacker> my ip is static by now my pppoe connections dont show up in network manager
[16:32] <jrib> Catbuntu: so provide a system-wide one in your package?
[16:32] <Catbuntu> yes
[16:32] <Catbuntu> Perhaps copying the default files to some /etc place and then copying the editable ones to the home folder?
[16:32] <streulma> yeah: today and yesterday recovered two nas boxes :)
[16:34] <Catbuntu> jrib, and what if I want to create a directory inside /etc?

[17:00] <meLon> I'm having a hard time with ATI drivers (OSS and Prop).  After installing either, aticonfig complains that it is unable to locate libGL.so.1.  Here is some more info: http://pastie.org/7078569
[17:01] <meLon> I believe I started experiencing this problem after I attempted to use AMD's uninstall script.  I have no clue why it's not correctly installing these libraries

[17:18] <Ari-Yang> hi, I'm looking to install beta proprietary driver. It looks like it's recommended to uninstall any fglrx drivers with sudo amdconfig --uninstall
[17:18] <Ari-Yang> now to do this, I have to switch over to the fglrx drivers
[17:18] <ferronica> Need help regarding Geary Mail, getting Connection Error
[17:18] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, * 'sudo ./a'
[17:18] <Ari-Yang> then run the command, correct?
[17:19] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Make sure to use the signiture trick
[17:19] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers what do you mean?
[17:19] <Ari-Yang> never heard of that...
[17:20] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, The prop beta drivers from AMD are nice, but they have an annoying watermark
[17:20] <ikillcypher> im getting graphics adapter not supported by this driver
[17:20] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers watermark? where o_o?
[17:20] <ikillcypher> installition will not process
[17:20] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, This trick removes the water mark, makes it think it's not beta
[17:21] <Ari-Yang> so the watermark just sits there?
[17:21] <Ari-Yang> on everything?
[17:21] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Bottom right, see ...
[17:21] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, http://askubuntu.com/questions/206558/how-to-remove-the-amd-testing-use-only-watermark
[17:21] <Ari-Yang> interesting
[17:21] <SonikkuAmerica> ikillcypher: Is your Catalyst still supported my AMD?
[17:21] <SonikkuAmerica> *by AMD?
[17:21] <ikillcypher> I have no idea
[17:21] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Change the contents of the signiture file and it is like normal
[17:21] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, What card do you have?
[17:22] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, See second answer, 32 votes

[17:23] <Ari-Yang> ah
[17:23] <Ari-Yang> thanks jrtappers, will do
[17:23] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Thats ok
[17:23] <Physicist> My O.S. does not suspend, restart or shutdown itself. I have to force, press the power off button. Maybe I have to reinstall the drivers..ATI drivers. I do not like install with the ppa: xorg edgers. I prefer Download the binary file and do it manually.
[17:24] <Physicist> Can somebody help me?
[17:24] <holstein> Physicist: did you add that ppa?
[17:24] <holstein> !tty | Physicist can you get to tty and sudo reboot?

[17:25] <ferronica> Need help regarding Geary Mail, getting Connection Error
[17:25] <jrib> rafaelcunha: check out axel...
[17:25] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, run 'lspci | grep VGA'
[17:26] <Ari-Yang> so, I should switch over to fglrx driver, reboot so it is properly in use. run sudo amdconfig --uninstall then switch over to my default open source driver, and then reboot
[17:26] <Ari-Yang> sound about right?
[17:26] <Physicist> holstein: No I did not. My O.S. is starting normally. The problem is when I want restart or turn off. Stop in the purple ubuntu screen.
[17:26] <rafaelcunha> jrib: some kind of appliance?

[17:27] <Ari-Yang> why what?
[17:27] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, what is the current setup?
[17:27] <holstein> Physicist: can you switch to tty and use the command "sudo halt" or "sudo shutdown -h now" ? and share errors?
[17:28] <ikillcypher> I really need someone to help with me issue

[17:29] <rafaelcunha> jrib: I was thinking about something like bonding but for internet links
[17:29] <ferronica> anyone free to help Geary Mail
[17:29] <holstein> ferronica: i would just ask..
[17:30] <ferronica> holstein, Geary mail not working
[17:30] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, 64 or 32 bit?
[17:30] <ferronica> holstein, 64bit
[17:30] <ikillcypher> 64
[17:30] <holstein> ferronica: any error messages?
[17:31] <rafaelcunha> What are the chances of link aggregation in ubuntu (bandwidth aggregation specifically)? I want the sum of two links of 5 Mbps, ie, a 10 Mbps link from two different internet links. Could bonding make this?
[17:31] <ferronica> holstein, yes connection error while adding account
[17:31] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, Dl size?
[17:31] <ikillcypher> huh ?
[17:31] <Physicist> holstein: Good one Thank you!
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers you mean what driver I'm using now?
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> http://gyazo.com/3f5815588ab402d206d2d6a03d18b5ed
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> ^ that
[17:31] <ikillcypher> 13.1 is not supported
[17:31] <holstein> ferronica: are you connected? have you tried adding another account? can you check the credentials?
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> but when I run the uninstall command
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> doesn't work
[17:31] <FloodBot1> Ari-Yang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> so I guess I have to switch over
[17:31] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, How big is the file you downloaded?
[17:31] <Ari-Yang> derp
[17:32] <k1lled> someone with idea for my problem ?
[17:32] <ikillcypher> of 13.1 ?
[17:32] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Try installing, it ususally works quite wll
[17:32] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, yes, im checking if it corrupted
[17:32] <ferronica> holstein, yes tried two account gmail and yahoo both same error
[17:32] <ikillcypher> 114.8 MB (114,845,505 bytes)
[17:32] <ikillcypher> it is not supported
[17:32] <holstein> ferronica: and you can use another client without any issues?
[17:32] <ferronica> holstein, unable to validate * connection error
[17:32] <ikillcypher> im able to run it
[17:33] <ferronica> hol
[17:33] <ferronica> holstein, both not working same error
[17:33] <holstein> ferronica: both?
[17:33] <ferronica> holstein, yes both account gamil and yahoo mail
[17:33] <ferronica> holstein, same error
[17:33] <holstein> ferronica: and from another mail client?
[17:33] <jrtappers> k1lled, try yumi
[17:34] <ferronica> holstein, fine no problem
[17:34] <ikillcypher> so what should I do now ?!
[17:34] <ferronica> holstein, thunderbird works fine
[17:34] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, Something seems odd, I get legacy in the name
[17:34] <wumbei> I'm trying to enter my password at the terminal but when i press enter i think it just goes to the next line, and my computer's name isn't before my commandline
[17:34] <ikillcypher> meaning
[17:34] <wumbei> what do i do?
[17:34] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, and a different file size
[17:35] <holstein> ferronica: i would probably just use thunderbird, otherwise, you'll probably need to search for geary specific help
[17:35] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers but it says that I should...
[17:35] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, They are probably different sizes
[17:35] <Ari-Yang> 'Note: Remember to uninstall the AMD proprietary fglrx graphics if it is already installed and reboot your system. ' <-- see?
[17:35] <ikillcypher> mayeb cause that dick who gave that link was wrong
[17:35] <ferronica> holstein, but i like geary simple and precise
[17:35] <ferronica> holstein, any specific channel for Geary Mail
[17:35] <ejo> Hi.  I'm running 12.04 LTS and having a conflict between Banshee and having my smartphone plugged into a USB port.
[17:36] <holstein> ferronica: doesnt seem like it.. but again, i would just ask the geary support venue's what is going on.. i would say you have the issue isolated to geary
[17:36] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, I have seen them work either way, your best bet would be to DL everything and do it in a recover console or TTY
[17:36] <ejo> I am not actually trying to use the smartphone WITH banshee in any way; I'm only recharging it.
 ikillcypher, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29
[17:36] <ejo> But I find that IF the smartphone is plugged into a usb port, Banshee has to be restarted 2 to 3 times before it will run.  Where do I start, in order to figure this out?
[17:36] <ferronica> holstein, so i have to wait to rectify problem
[17:36] <ikillcypher> yeah im on oneiric
[17:37] <ikillcypher> yeah very nice !!
[17:37] <jrtappers> ejo, run it from command line
[17:37] <ikillcypher> IM ON 12.10 !!
[17:37] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx
[17:37] <ejo> jrtappers: you mean as a fix, or as a way to get more info about what's wrong -- i am guessing the latter.
[17:37] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, see if that says compatable
[17:37] <ejo> jrtappers: and thank you for the answer
[17:37] <wumbei> i am trying to enter my password in terminal but it just goes to a new line when i press enter. what do i do
[17:37] <holstein> ferronica: i dont think any of the volunteers here use geary mail at the moment.. i would ask the geary support
[17:37] <jrtappers> ejo, as a first step, if it doesn't help try -v
[17:38] <ikillcypher> ok so what now ?
[17:38] <ejo> jrtappers: thank you.  I should have thought of that.  And I know I would have forgotten -v.  Cool thx
[17:38] <jrtappers> wumbei, Need more info
[17:38] <ikillcypher> do you like have a official link on how to install it>?
[17:38] <Ingo2> Hi, i am a Ubuntu newbie and i´d like to know if someone knows this Amazon book and tell me if its any good to enter the Ubuntu world: http://t.co/PPo0hVkoox ?
[17:38] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, I put in the card you told me on AMDs site
[17:39] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers so you're saying it's fine to install the beta even if I have to other fglrx drivers installed?
[17:39] <ikillcypher> I dont get you
[17:39] <wumbei> jrtappers: well it asks for my password, i type it in, and then when i press enter it goes to the next line but it doesn't show xxxx:-$ on new line
[17:39] <jrtappers> Ingo2, you shouldn't need a book really
[17:39] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, I have seen it work before, it sometimes does and it's a lot easier, but if it gets odd nothing beats a single user login to fix it
[17:40] <Ingo2> jrt:hm?
[17:40] <ikillcypher> jrtappers, I will try to reinstall now
[17:40] <jrtappers> Ingo2, IRC helps a lot, as does the web. It is also quite user friendly, so together it can be quite a smooth learning curve
[17:41] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, ok, good luck
[17:41] <wumbei> jrtappers: is it possible the password is being entered and that it isn'tr supposed to say xxxxx-:$ on the next line?
[17:41] <jrtappers> wumbei, Depends, what command are you running? If its a gui app thats to be expected
[17:42] <wumbei> jrtappers: i'm doing sudo modprobe
[17:42] <jrtappers> Ingo2, The best bet would be to dualboot a machine and play about
[17:42] <jrtappers> wumbei, try running sudo echo 1
[17:43] <wumbei> yes, that worked
[17:43] <wumbei> does that mean i can't do the modprobe? @jrtappers
[17:44] <jrtappers> wumbei, sounds like the command may be freezing, try running it from a root terminal
[17:45] <wumbei> jrtappers: freezing on that too :/
[17:46] <jrtappers> wumbei, What command are you running, the whole thing including arguments
[17:46] <sacrebleu> I have an ubuntu server box running latest, and I moved from one WAN to another WAN, how can I change the ESSID and related WPA2 key from command line
[17:46] <wumbei> just modprobe b43
[17:46] <wumbei> apparently it's supposed to 'kick start' some firmware?
[17:46] <ikillcypher> jrtappers,
[17:47] <ikillcypher> same error message
[17:47] <ikillcypher> im getting graphics adapter not supported by this driver
[17:47] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, run ls
[17:47] <ikillcypher> sudo ls?
[17:48] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, just ls

[17:49] <subz3r0> could anyone recommend me a good and fast filesystem for a usb-stick? ext4 is kinda slow
[17:49] <subz3r0> for large files...
[17:49] <xcvt01> hi
[17:50] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, Did you unzip the DL?
[17:50] <wilee-nilee> subz3r0, Are you sure it is not the transfer rate?
[17:50] <ikillcypher> yes
[17:50] <wumbei> jrtappers: same thing still. :/ i appreiciate the help though
[17:51] <ikillcypher> dude
[17:51] <subz3r0> wilee-nilee: yes i am
[17:51] <ikillcypher> I get until the GUI SCREEN
[17:51] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, I thought it had legacy in the name, my mistake
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> subz3r0, Not sure how you would be when your asking about file systems, you have not actually researched a difference.
[17:52] <subz3r0> wilee-nilee: just dont want to test them all now. so a recommodation woould be ncie :>
[17:52] <subz3r0> well, fat16 is faster
[17:52] <jrtappers> wumbei, Its meant to throw up a lot of text
[17:52] <wilee-nilee> subz3r0, Understandable. ;)
[17:52] <subz3r0> but fat16 does not like big files... so thats what my question for
[17:53] <subz3r0> maybe reiserfs is faster? or xfs?
[17:53] <nullucas> hi, is it possible to have layouts with more than 4 symbols for each key? I see the layouts have 4 combinations for each key (normal, shift, altGr, altGr+shift), but not more
[17:53] <subz3r0> btrfs?
[17:53] <ikillcypher> http://i46.tinypic.com/14u9mpf.png
[17:53] <ikillcypher> jrtappers, http://i46.tinypic.com/14u9mpf.png
[17:54] <ikillcypher> and how do I get rid of that yellow box too
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> nullucas  the super key and the Fn key
[17:55] <subz3r0> wilee-nilee: so? :>
[17:55] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, Did you delete the first one, I see only one copy in that folder, the old one
[17:55] <ikillcypher> ...
[17:55] <Ari-Yang> hm
[17:55] <nullucas> MonkeyDust, the super key is the "windows key", right? And how do you include it in a custom layout? The examples I have seen online only consider 4 symbols for each key
[17:55] <ikillcypher> jrtappers, http://i46.tinypic.com/14u9mpf.png
[17:55] <ikillcypher> see this please
[17:55] <ikillcypher> it is stating it is not supported
[17:56] <Ari-Yang> I think I'll just uinstall the fglrx drivers I have, just in case things go wonky....... Might as well follow the instructions they give me lol Though, good to know that it doesn't /have/ to be uinstalled
[17:56] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, Yes, but there were two links, and only one run file, WITHOUT legacy in its name, so that may be the wrong one
[17:56] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, ok
[17:56]  * subz3r0 pokes wilee-nilee :D
[17:56] <Ari-Yang> thanks for your info jrtappers
[17:57] <ikillcypher> dude
[17:57] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Thats ok, happy to help
[17:57] <ikillcypher> why cant you just point me to a tutorial
[17:57] <ikillcypher> I dont know what legacy you are talking about
[17:58] <wilee-nilee> subz3r0, I have never checked file systems for speed, I have not really had any problems there, I will look on the web for yah though.
[17:58] <ikillcypher> and I have been following this tutorial
[17:58] <ikillcypher> http://www.itworld.com/software/306225/install-amd-catalyst-1210-driver-ubuntu-1210
[17:58] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, the driver I sent you to has legacy in its name, so I was refering to it like that, because it is easier to identify a file by a word than by a revision ID
[17:59] <subz3r0> wilee-nilee: ofc i did a lil reasrch before. but no time for a long one right now... so im just here for a fast question&answer ;)
[17:59] <ikillcypher> you sent me a driver ?
[17:59] <ikillcypher> lol what
[17:59] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, That may be the wrong driver
[18:00] <ikillcypher> *_*
[18:00] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, <jrtappers> ikillcypher, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeon_linux.aspx
[18:00] <ikillcypher> so which is wrong the site or ubuntu
[18:00] <Praxi> I'm trying to find a open source chat program to run on a website, I'm specifically looking for the one that humblebundle.com use to use.  Can someone point me to the software they used, or to a channel that would be more appropriate to ask in?
[18:00] <ikillcypher> so you sent me the wrong link
[18:01] <jrtappers> I sent you a link, you downloaded another
[18:01] <ikillcypher> im using AMD Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series
[18:01] <subz3r0> maybe anyone else knows is... so here the question again. "Which filesystem is the fastest for an usb-stick? ext4(makes problems, slow...) reiserfs, btrfs, xfs or nilfs2 for files > 4GByte
[18:01] <subz3r0> -is+it
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> subz3r0, Check out post 3 that user is probably one of the top in knowledge posters on the UF, check out his website.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567099
[18:01] <ikillcypher> ok wait wait
[18:01] <ikillcypher> slow down
[18:02] <ikillcypher> you want me to download that zip file and unzip and try installing
[18:02] <subz3r0> thank you very much @wilee-nilee
[18:02] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, delete all the downloads, all the .run files, start at 0
[18:02] <holstein> subz3r0: i usually use fat32 if im going between different os's.. ext2 might work better for usb sticks.. the speed will mostly be related to your usb hardware and the stick
[18:02] <subz3r0> ikillcypher: i would NOT install any suspicious files from any1... just a hint...
[18:02] <subz3r0> if you dont know the source, be aware
[18:03] <ikillcypher> dont be an idiot
[18:03] <ikillcypher> its ati website
[18:03] <subz3r0> but your decision
[18:03] <ikillcypher> people like you should be ban and kick
[18:03] <subz3r0> !lang > ikillcypher
[18:03] <ikillcypher> ...
[18:03] <holstein> ikillcypher: thats just good practice, and advice
[18:03] <ikillcypher> it is a ATI website ?!
[18:03] <ikillcypher> hello
[18:03] <subz3r0> well, watch your lang, kid...
[18:03] <holstein> ikillcypher: site like that get hacked often because of the trust you are mentioning
[18:04] <subz3r0> im not in the mood for things like that... it was just an advice
[18:04] <jrtappers> holstein, subz3r0 ,              Good advice, bad timing
[18:04] <wumbei> jrtappers: is there another way to do the modprobe? i've just added a folder to lib/firmware and i need to 'kick start' it apparently
[18:04] <jrtappers> wumbei, there is an etc file for it
[18:04] <ikillcypher> I dont get any of what he is saying
[18:04] <holstein> ikillcypher: still, the suggestion is, if you trust it, go for it!.. just know the concequences.. also, that the packages in the repos are tested for compatibility
[18:04] <subz3r0> so get a brain, retard.
[18:04] <ikillcypher> a amd site ? should not be trusted ?
[18:04] <wumbei> jrtappers: what do i do with it?
[18:04] <ikillcypher> maybe fix your english
[18:05] <ikillcypher> that would do
[18:05] <holstein> subz3r0: lets try and keep it constructive
[18:05] <jrtappers> holstein, subz3r0 , please leave advice untill the end or address it to the helper
[18:05] <holstein> ikillcypher: there should be directions at the AMD site, or in the download.. i usually try the open driver, then the proprietary one,, then i move on to ones from the site.. the manual onces
[18:06] <ikillcypher> ohh
[18:06] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, so DL that link, and that one should be compatable
[18:07] <ikillcypher> uh how do I set chmod it ?!
[18:07] <wilee-nilee> Hey, I'm the mentally challenged one here and don't you forget it. ;)
[18:07] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, chmod +x <filename>
[18:07] <Ari-Yang> okay, so I got Uninstaller for AMD Catalyst (TM) Proprietary Driver, /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh, does not exist or cannot be found.
[18:07] <Ari-Yang>  when I did sudo amdconfig --uninstall in the terminal
[18:07] <sw> hi is there a command to list all apache VirtualHosts running on a server?
[18:08] <Ari-Yang> so, this mean I should do sudo aptitude purge fglrx ?
[18:08] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, locate uninstall.sh , it will show you the way
[18:09] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers I did that, got nothing o_o
[18:09] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, Are you already using AMD drivers?
[18:09] <Ari-Yang> yeah, I switched over to fglrx-updates driver
[18:09] <Ari-Yang> should I switch back to the open source one?
[18:09] <subz3r0> funny kid... lol...
[18:10] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, that may be the easiest way
[18:10] <subz3r0> jrtappers: yes, sorry... just put this re.... on my ignore list
[18:10] <Ari-Yang> hmmm... okay then, looks like I'll have to restart again
[18:10] <ikillcypher> loki_setup: Script seems to have failed with error code 127.
[18:11] <jrtappers> subz3r0, Everyone learns everything at least once
[18:11] <jrtappers> ikillcypher, ?
[18:11] <ikillcypher> I will restart now and see if it working
[18:14] <KeyboardNotFound> can i backup and restore grub loader after installing two ubuntus ?
[18:14] <holstein> KeyboardNotFound: sure
[18:14] <subz3r0> jrtappers: that's the deal. but there is no reason to be discourteously.
[18:15] <wilee-nilee> KeyboardNotFound, Backing it up is old school, however grub is easy to wipe if needed and reload
[18:16] <tjbiddle> Anyone have experience with reprepro? Can't seem to find any documentation regarding virtual packages on it.
[18:17] <surio> Anyone has experience with FileZilla?
[18:17] <jrtappers> subz3r0, I didn't mean to cause offence, and if I did I am sorry
[18:17] <jrtappers> surio, Some
[18:17] <holstein> surio: i have used it.. and gigolo
[18:17] <tjbiddle> surio: Yes
[18:17] <surio> Cheers... I am new to it.. just using it to transfer some large files
[18:17] <tjbiddle> surio: Drag and drop :p
[18:17] <surio> However, the upload speed is nothing short of atrocious
[18:18] <jrtappers> surio, You could try using nautilus, it has a connect to server option
[18:18] <tjbiddle> surio: What are you bandwidth limits on your local machine and server?
[18:18] <surio> tjbiddle: yup. that's the usp for me ;)
[18:18] <subz3r0> jrtappers: i wasnt talking about you in any way.
[18:18] <surio> I'm on broadband
[18:19] <surio> and haven't set up any limits on filezilla
[18:19] <surio> Server is Sourceforge.net ;)
[18:19] <surio> jrtappers: too late I'm halfway through
[18:22] <jrtappers> surio, Ok
[18:23] <tjbiddle> surio: What kind of speed are you getting on the upload? Not sure what your setup is, but I generally stick with VPS's - and they generally are on a 100mbps port, which is generally enough. Not sure what size file you're ftping, but my home speed is like 50mbps up and 20 down or something. 20 down you're getting.. 0.625MB/s? Not too speedy :p
[18:25] <surio> ~8KB/sec uploads! fed up!
[18:26] <Guest20373> HI. Everytime I upgrade I get information about missing kernel, where can I delety an entry about that kernel?
[18:27] <epzil0n> hey guys, is there's some easy way to share my 4G mobile broadband preferably using a gui tool? i have looked around and googled a bit for it but no luck so far..
[18:27] <BluesKaj> Guest20373:  dist-upgrade
[18:28] <subz3r0> epzil0n: you could share it over bluetooth
[18:28] <subz3r0> never tested it before, but should work
[18:28] <subz3r0> or have a look how "routing" works
[18:30] <epzil0n> subz3r0: ok, well that could be one solution but since i'm already dual booting with windows it's dead easy to do it there.. but i want to ditch windows and go all in with Linux and this is just one of those last things that needs to be fixed first since i got no regular broadband anymore
[18:30] <mguy> Just push the hotspot button like the girl in the commercial
[18:30] <epzil0n> mguy: was that meant for me?
[18:31] <subz3r0> mguy: :D
[18:31] <subz3r0> epzil0n: well, it depends on which way you want to use. Second nic, router/switch, bluetooth, wlan?
[18:32] <epzil0n> subz3r0: i got this 4g modem and then mu ethernet cabel is connected to my router also there's no bluetooth in this computer
[18:32] <epzil0n> got a dongle though
[18:33] <subz3r0> epzil0n: yes, but how you want to share the internet connection?
[18:34] <epzil0n> subz3r0: through ethernet as i do it in windows
[18:34] <mguy> Ubuntu has that in an option doesn't it?
[18:34] <Bray90820> is there anyway to turn the onscreen keyboard off from the terminal
[18:35] <epzil0n> and i see that windows configures it as the default gateway using the first ip in that subnet
[18:35] <subz3r0> epzil0n: that what ive asked for. you could configure the system where the dongle is as router
[18:35] <mguy> epzil0n: turn on ip forwarding and setup routes and NAT and a dhcp server and you're all set
[18:36] <subz3r0> and add this pc as default gateway in the configs of the other pc
[18:36] <epzil0n> subz3r0: yeah that's what i have already done to make it work in windows
[18:36] <jrtappers> Can XBMC be run on one screen of a two screen setup?
[18:36] <subz3r0> mguy: that will be tricky, if he wants some one click solution. mayber you could guide him trough the steps... i gotta go... enjoy the weekend :)
[18:37] <mguy> Let me dig out the old 'IP Masquerading' text file
[18:37] <subz3r0> first lunch, then party :)
[18:37] <mguy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[18:37] <epzil0n> well why i'm asking this is because it's just so damn easy in windows and if there's no gui for that in ubuntu well then i have to do it the hard way
[18:38] <jrtappers> epzil0n, there should be one, in network manager
[18:38] <epzil0n> mguy: thx but i have already been reading that without any luck ;)
[18:39] <mguy> epzil0n:  be omre specific about what didn't work etc
[18:39] <jrtappers> Bray90820, Yes, 2 commands, but you may be able to run them together
[18:39] <epzil0n> jrtappers: i have looked everywhere but as far as i can see there's no options for that, but maybe i missed something
[18:39] <Bray90820> jrtappers: what are the commands
[18:39] <jrtappers> epzil0n, open network manager
[18:40] <jrtappers> Bray90820, ps -C onboard
[18:40] <jrtappers> Bray90820, That should return one line
[18:40] <Bray90820> so to enable it i would run "onboard" and to disable it i would run "ps -C onboard"
[18:40] <epzil0n> jrtappers: i'm on ubuntu 13.04 now and it does not look as it use to
[18:41] <jrtappers> Bray90820, that gives you the PID, then use kill
[18:41] <jrtappers> epzil0n, change settings and set IP to shared to other
[18:41] <Bray90820> jrtappers: what do you mean
[18:42] <epzil0n> jrtappers: pk, i'll try that once more.. but it didn't work the first time.. but as far as you know it's doable using NM right?
[18:42] <jrtappers> Bray90820, I can do it in two commands, I will tyr to make them into 1
[18:42] <Bray90820> but to enable it i enter "onboard" right
[18:43] <jrtappers> epzil0n, I use Wifi -> Laptop -> Ethernet -> PC when my powerline adapters stop working
[18:43] <jrtappers> Bray90820, yes
[18:43] <Bray90820> then to disable it i run "ps -C onboard"
[18:43] <epzil0n> jrtappers: ah, exactly like do but then i use windows in this desktop ;)
[18:44] <oz0ne> is it anyplace i can read more about the semantics of ownership of files in homefolders? e.g. if root make a file in my homefolder. why can't i take ownership of it with chmod, but i can delete it and i can rename it.
[18:44] <jrtappers> Bray90820, That gives you the ID, i need to rember how to send that to kill in one command
[18:44] <Bray90820> you could use &&
[18:44] <epzil0n> jrtappers: well i figure it out tomorrow, just needed to know that it's doable using NM so thx guys for your answers :)
[18:44] <Bray90820> i think
[18:45] <surio> remember me, I'm the guy who was having trouble with filezilla upload speeds? :/
[18:45]  * surio feeling sad because it's so slow
[18:47] <jrtappers> Bray90820, Got it
[18:47] <Bray90820> what is it
[18:48] <jrtappers> pkill onboard
[18:48] <Bray90820> lets try it
[18:48] <jrtappers> and to start it and continue using terminal onboard &
[18:49] <Bray90820> jrtappers: :-) it worked i now have tablet mode working on my tablet/netbook hybrid
[18:50] <jrtappers> Bray90820, Happy to help
[18:50] <oz0ne> ofc, i ment with chown
[18:50] <Bray90820> i have been trying that for like 3 weeks
[18:51] <jrtappers> Bray90820, IRC is the best way to fix problems
[18:51]  * Nakai50 
[18:51] <Extreme> well said Nakai50
[18:51] <oz0ne> jrtappers: i don't agree, i never see any respons to my questions there :(
[18:51] <Bray90820> unless the people are duchess like i have experienced many times
[18:52] <jrtappers> oz0ne, your question would probably be better in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:52] <jrtappers> Bray90820, Some are, but there are lots who are not
[18:53] <oz0ne> jrtappers: may you explain me why that is an offtopic? =)
[18:53] <Bray90820> true but i have found channels where like 90% are duchess
[18:53] <ikonia> oz0ne: becauese it's not an ubuntu issue
[18:53] <jrtappers> oz0ne, I see it as learning, not a support question
[18:53] <ikonia> Bray90820: can we stop with the duchess nonsense, this is an ubuntu support channel, please use it for that purpose
[18:53] <tgm4883> Bray90820, which ones?
[18:53] <jrtappers> Windows ones are pretty bad
[18:54] <ikonia> jrtappers: enough please.
[18:54] <Bray90820> ok i will only talk about on topic stuff
[18:54] <ikonia> Bray90820: thanks
[18:54] <oz0ne> so it is a common known issue? i thought it was smart to ask in ubuntu as i stick with ubuntu and had no idea if that is a general issue?
[18:54] <ikonia> oz0ne: it's the correct behaviour
[18:54] <ikonia> oz0ne: it's not a bug/issue
[18:55] <oz0ne> thanks to you bouth, ikonia and jrtappers
[18:56] <jrtappers> oz0ne, Thats ok
[18:56]  * surio :'( filezilla is still slow
[18:57] <oz0ne> jrtappers:  sorry for not expressing it as a issue, but i was scared of my chair, when doing scp to the server and managing to mess with root files. server had its webuser exploited. so as i was not aware of that behaivor it seemed for me that they somehow had managed to escalate priviliges.
[18:58] <s5fs> Anyone running ubuntu on a MBP or MBPr?
[18:58] <Ari-Yang> So I ran sudo aptitude purge fglrx-updates but I still see it in the additional drivers list in software sources
[18:58] <Corey> Not natively. :-)
[18:58] <Ari-Yang> I suppose that there is something else I have to do?
[18:58] <Jordan_U> !anyone | s5fs
[18:59] <Corey> Ari-Yang: May have to rmmod it.
[18:59] <oz0ne> jrtappers: so the way to force a file in userhomefolder would be to add +i flag? : )
[18:59] <s5fs> Jordan_U: was my question unclear?
[18:59] <Corey> s5fs: Don't poll. :-)
[18:59] <Ari-Yang> @ Corey what do you mean?
[18:59] <Corey> !poll | s5fs
[18:59] <ChogyDan> did you guys know that flash updates have stopped?  That you have to use chrome flash now
[18:59] <ikonia> ChogyDan: what ?
[18:59] <jrtappers> oz0ne, that should stop and changes to it
[18:59] <Corey> Ari-Yang: apt-get purge is going to remove files, but it won't unload the module from your kernel if memory serves. A reboot or a rmmod will.
[19:00] <DJones> s5fs: It didn't really ask a question, better to explain your question in detail and see what replys you get
[19:00] <Ari-Yang> @ Corey after I did sudo aptitude purge fglrx-updates I did reboot
[19:00] <oz0ne> jrtappers: ty again : ))
[19:00] <ChogyDan> ikonia: not much else to say.  Linux flash is frozen at 11.2, unless you use chrome's pepper api
[19:00] <Corey> Ari-Yang: Then it's still showing up?  Odd.
[19:00] <Ari-Yang> yeah
[19:00] <ChogyDan> I just switched, now Im on 11.6...
[19:00] <ikonia> ChogyDan: the flash announcment was made a long time ago, it's not a problem
[19:01] <s5fs> I'm seeking recommendations for a 15" laptop, must support 16gig ram and have a nice display and solid linux support. I'd like something similar to a MBP or MBPr but non-apple. B
[19:01] <s5fs> Budget is up to $3k.
[19:01] <Ari-Yang> sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
[19:01] <Ari-Yang> ^ will that remove?
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> Ari-Yang, I use the Ubuntu Tweak in a ppa for removing modules, the easy way.
[19:01] <DJones> !hcl | s5fs
[19:01] <Bray90820> jrtappers: when i put "onboard &" into a bash script it doesn't work
[19:01] <genii-around> s5fs: Perhaps enquire in ##hardware
[19:01] <s5fs> DJones: I do not wish to see an HCL, I want real user feedback.
[19:01] <ikonia> s5fs: Lenodo T4 series
[19:01] <ikonia> s5fs: maybe better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:02] <s5fs> ikonia: How is this off-topic? I'd rather ask my hw compat questions pre-purchase rather than clog the channel post-purchase.
[19:02] <DJones> s5fs: This isn't the right channel for that, better to ask in ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic or check the HCL
[19:02] <jrtappers> Bray90820, What do you mean by doesn't work? Does it work at terminal?
[19:02] <s5fs> DJones: okay thanks
[19:02] <ikonia> s5fs: it's not a support question, you don't want the hardware support list, you want to chat to .....
[19:03] <Bray90820> well i put "onboard &" into a script ran it but the onscreen keyboard doesn't show
[19:04] <Bray90820> jrtappers:  hang on let me check something
[19:09] <jrtappers> Bray90820, ?
[19:10] <Bray90820> it appears as if "onboard" works in the script but "onboard &" does not work
[19:11] <jrtappers> Bray90820, does the script need to do anything else?
[19:11] <Ari-Yang> so, anybody else got an idea on how to remove additional drivers (where they won't show up in the 'additional drivers' tab in the software sources list?
[19:11] <Bray90820> no
[19:11] <Bray90820> the script does nothing else
[19:11] <jrtappers> ok, then just use onboard
[19:12] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, is it showing up as active (with a green dot)?
[19:12] <Jordan_U> Bray90820: Try "onboard & disown".
[19:12] <Bray90820> but i have another script with "pkill onboard"
[19:13] <Ari-Yang> @ tgm4883 I'm using the open source driver atm and not the fglrx-updates proprietary driver. Though when I did use it there was no green dot, instead like a cardboard box saying that 'a proprietary driver is in use'
[19:13] <Bray90820> onboard & disown did not work
[19:13] <Ari-Yang> it seems that the green dot shows if I'm using a recommended driver...
[19:13] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, does it currently show "in use"?
[19:14] <Ari-Yang> when I used it yesterday, it said 'a proprietary driver is in use'
[19:14] <jrtappers> Bray90820, if it does nothing else you could run just 'onboard'
[19:14] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, what about today
[19:14] <Ari-Yang> after I purged it?
[19:14] <Ari-Yang> no
[19:14] <Ari-Yang> I haven't tried
[19:14] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, so what is your question then?
[19:14] <Jordan_U> Bray90820: How are you running your script?
[19:15] <Bray90820> jrtappers could i also run another script later with "pkill onboard"
[19:15] <Ari-Yang> @ tgm4883 my question is why is it still in the 'additional drivers' tab when I ran sudo aptitude purge fglrx-updates?
[19:15] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, because that isn't showing you drivers that are installed
[19:15] <Ingo2> Hi, i am a Ubuntu newbie and i´d like to know if someone knows this Amazon book and tell me if its any good to enter the Ubuntu world: http://t.co/PPo0hVkoox ?
[19:15] <Bray90820> Jordan_U:  i have it set to execute when i rotate my screen
[19:15] <Ari-Yang> @ tgm4883 really? o__o;
[19:15] <tgm4883> Ari-Yang, it's showing you drivers it thinks are compatible with your hardware
[19:15] <Ari-Yang> OHhhhhh
[19:15] <ikonia> Ingo2: best thing is to read reviews
[19:15] <Ari-Yang> so how do I check to see if it uninstalled?
[19:16] <Ari-Yang> just in case
[19:16] <Jordan_U> Bray90820: Does it work if you execute it from the terminal with "/path/to/script"?
[19:16] <Bray90820> Jordan_U: i seemed to have fixed it
[19:17] <Bray90820> jrtappers: it seems to be fixed
[19:17] <Bray90820> "onboard" did the trick
[19:17] <Ari-Yang> @ tgm4883 is there a way to check and see if it uninstalled? just in case
[19:17] <jrtappers> Bray90820, ok
[19:17] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, The prop driver checks before it installs so if it asks then its still installed, if not it is not
[19:18] <Bray90820> now if flash video worked without stuttering everything would be perfect
[19:18] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers what do you mean? what's the 'prop driver'?
[19:19] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, The beta AMD propietary driver
[19:19] <Ari-Yang> oh, well I haven't installed that yet
[19:19] <Ari-Yang> I guess I'll run sudo aptitude purge fglrx restart and move on with installing the beta
[19:20] <holstein> Bray90820: i suggest trying the actual google-chrome browser with current flash to troubleshoot
[19:20] <Bray90820> is there any way i can get system wide click and drag for touchscreen scrolling in apps such as Gwibber
[19:21] <cardpuncher> Hi, I would just like to know when the support for Lucid 10.04 ends for the desktop. End of March or end of April?

[19:21] <holstein> cardpuncher: ^
[19:21] <cardpuncher> Thank you holstein.
[19:22] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JNt1nhYH what does the {p} stand for?
[19:22] <Bray90820> holstein: that's what stutters but only in full screen
[19:22] <iFlip> Does anyone know the CLI command for Python that will run the .py file in the background so I can close the terminal window and it keeps running
[19:23] <iFlip> I want to start a .py file from SSH and close my connection and the process keep running.
[19:23] <jrtappers> Ari-Yang, It may be propietary
[19:24] <Ari-Yang> yeah, I thought so too
[19:24] <genii-around> iFlip: Should probably run it from inside of a screen session then
[19:24] <jrtappers> iFlip, add an & to the end
[19:24] <DJones> iFlip: I don't run python files, but maybe running via screen/byobu or using nohup
[19:24] <DJones> !screen > iFlip
[19:25] <iFlip> ubottu thnx
[19:25] <iFlip> jrtappers do I need a space or place the & right next to the .py file
[19:25] <iFlip> DJones does that go at the end of the command
[19:25] <jrtappers> iFlip, after a space, it should work, if not screen is also an option
[19:26] <xcvt01> hi
[19:26] <DJones> iFlip: I only use byobu, basically gives a never ending terminal session
[19:30] <Bray90820> holstein: would you know what's going on with my flash player
[19:31] <theixle> I'm trying to fix an issue with my netgear usb wifi dongle. I've followed some instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806839 but my connection is dropping after a while and I'm not able to reconnect.
[19:31] <theixle> I can pastebin outputs if needed.
[19:32] <iFlip> Does not seem to be working. I want to lunch CouchPotato.py from my iMac because my server is headless. CouchPotato likes to crash from time to time.
[19:32] <iFlip> lunch = launch
[19:33] <iFlip> When I use & I get what appears to be a PID. But when I try to access the http:// for CouchPotato I get dead air.
[19:34] <holstein> Bray90820: flash is just not that great on linux.. you are using the one from google-chrome?
[19:34] <veyoon> hi everyone, is there a way to lower the lcd brightness? my is actually to high
[19:35] <escott> veyoon, if the buttons aren't working you can echo ## | sudo tee /sys/something/whatever/backlight
[19:35] <Bray90820> yes i am
[19:35] <Bray90820> holstein: yes i am
[19:35] <Bray90820> holstein: it's prob because i am on a netbook
[19:35] <veyoon> escott:  my buttons are working fine. it is more the lowest brightness i can set which is still to high
[19:35] <Dakota> Flash works great for me.
[19:35] <holstein> Bray90820: not much else to do... AFAIK
[19:35] <Dakota> What your problem?
[19:36] <veyoon> arte the brightness levels configurable?
[19:36] <escott> veyoon, if guess you could still mess around with /sys/class/backlight?
[19:36] <escott> iFlip, nohup
[19:36] <Bray90820> Dakota: are you on a netbook
[19:36] <veyoon> I can reach way lower levels by setting it in /sys/.../brightness
[19:36] <escott> jrtappers, iFlip backgrounded processes can still die after the terminal closes
[19:36] <veyoon> but not by pressing the buttons
[19:37] <Dakota> Far from it Bray90820.
[19:37] <Bray90820> well i think being on a netbook is my problem
[19:38] <Dakota> If you ctcp version me you will get my specs.
[19:38] <iFlip> escott thnx :(
[19:38] <Rallias> Is there any way to use execi in conky so it doesn't block the rest of conky from updating?
[19:38] <danielgt> Is this the right channel to ask a question about cpio command?
[19:40] <jrtappers> veyoon, Use keyboard shortcuts then, custom
[19:41] <Dakota> o/ Rallias
[19:41] <veyoon> jrtappers:  thanks, I already thought about this. I hoped I could just set the minimum brightness somewhere
[19:45] <mobina> hey guys how can i install my webcam?
[19:47] <escott> mobina, plug it in. open cheese and test if it works
[19:47] <Extreme> mobina: you should be able to plug-in your webcam and use it straight away.
[19:47] <Extreme> mobina: also, install cheese: sudo apt-get install cheese
[19:48] <mobina> escott, i use laptop and installed 3 apps change prefrences but it doesnt work
[19:48] <holstein> mobina: you installed cheese? and tested?
[19:48] <mobina> the error is could not connect /dev/video
[19:48] <mobina> but when i lsusb it return my camera model
[19:48] <holstein> mobina: thats from vlc? how about cheese?
[19:49] <mobina> in chesse the screen is black
[19:49] <holstein> mobina: is there a physical cover on the camera?
[19:50] <mobina> holstein, wat do u mean? there isnt anything on the camera
[19:50] <holstein> mobina: both of mine have physical covers.. when i forget to open them, the output is black
[19:51] <mobina> no it doesnt have
[19:51] <holstein> mobina: what settings did you change? you might want to try cheese from a live CD in case you changed something important testing so far
[19:51] <holstein> mobina: is this a new device? have you ever seen it functioning properly?
[19:52] <mobina> yea it used to work well my system is a  bit old
[19:52] <mobina> Vaio VGN-SZ640
[19:53] <holstein> mobina: i usually go back to what worked via a live CD, and see what was supporting it, and how, and try and add that support into the current version im using, if i can
[19:54] <mobina> it use to work well with ubuntu 10 and fedora 15
[19:54] <escott> mobina, have you checked the v4l website for the particular chipset of your camera?
[19:54] <mobina> v41 works fine but v42 returns error
[19:56] <escott> mobina, v41/v42 what are those?
[19:56] <Ari-Yang> how do I enable source code repository in synaptic package manager?
[19:57] <mobina> escott, v4l1 n v4l2
[19:57] <mobina> Ari-Yang, wat do u mean source code? do u have config file?
[19:58] <Ari-Yang> hmmm, mobina not sure.. maybe I will. Was looking at instructions of manually installing catalyst (amd latest beta driver)
[19:58] <Ari-Yang> it's step 2
[19:59] <ldlework> Hi I just installed 12.10 on a new machine and then rsync'ed my ~/. from my old ubuntu 11 machine. Now I get libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 however both the required drivers are installed.
[19:59] <Ari-Yang> so I guess I d/l the zip, then unzip it...
[19:59] <jrtappers> What is a good way to get disk usage of a headless server?
[19:59] <ldlework> I fear that something in my home directory is causing ubuntu to look elsewhere or not look at all
[19:59] <ldlework> Any help would be appreciated.
[19:59] <jrtappers> As in what folders are using a lot of space
[19:59] <mobina> Ari-Yang, in unzip folder do u c any file name configure?
[20:00] <Pici> !u
[20:00] <Ari-Yang> mobina, again, not sure yet, before d/ling it I'm going to restart
[20:00] <Ari-Yang> brb in 3-4min
[20:03] <frank__> hello from Gainesville fl
[20:03] <Ari-Yang> alrighty, now to install the latest beta driver...
[20:03] <jrtappers> Why does ls not show the right disk usage amount?
[20:04] <ldlework> jrtappers: use -h ?
[20:04] <tgm4883> jrtappers, is ls suppose to show disk usage?
[20:04] <bekks> Because ls doesnt show disk usage, but list directory contents.
[20:04] <bekks> "du" displays disk usage.
[20:04] <ldlework> Does anyone know how to ask a package where it installs stuff?
[20:04] <jrib> ldlework: dpkg -L, but why?
[20:04] <jrtappers> ldlework, tgm4883 It says that the total usage is 101K in / when run as root, I think that is not correct
[20:05] <ldlework> jrib: Secondlife is looking i986_dri.so which is installed but it can't seem to find it where it looks
[20:05] <ldlework> jrtappers: that's stuff in /
[20:05] <jrib> jrtappers: define "it" in your last sentence
[20:05] <n1c3t34> hey guys, anyone of you ever setup a wlan adapter in a vm and could help me with an error?
[20:05] <jrtappers> ldlework, first line of ls output, total 101k
[20:06] <jrib> n1c3t34: you should just say the error
[20:06] <bekks> jrtappers: thats all in /, without subdirectories.
[20:06] <bekks> jrtappers: use "du -h" or "df -h" instead of ls.
[20:06] <tgm4883> jrtappers, 'ls' doesn't show me any sort of usage
[20:07] <n1c3t34> @jrib it says fatal error module ndiswrapper not found :/
[20:07] <Ari-Yang> mobina, it's a .run file
[20:07] <n1c3t34> i tried like 5 sites on google, 5 yt videos but nothing helped
[20:07] <mobina> Ari-Yang, only?
[20:07] <Ari-Yang> yeah
[20:07] <mobina> if there isnt any then run in in terminal
[20:08] <Ari-Yang> @ mobina http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[20:08] <Ari-Yang> d/led latest beta driver, you see?
[20:09] <Ari-Yang> I'm following these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Installing_upstream_drivers_directly_from_AMD.27s_website
[20:09] <Ari-Yang> step 2 is enabling the source code repo in synaptic package manager
[20:09] <Ari-Yang> and that's where I'm stumped.....
[20:09] <n1c3t34> so no one in here knows how to install windows drivers in linux correctly?
[20:09] <Ari-Yang> @ n1c3t34 I don't. if I had to make a guess, wine maybe?
[20:10] <jrtappers> where is it that deleteable logs are stored on ubuntu?
[20:10] <n1c3t34> tried... wine+ndiswrapper but i got this error
[20:10] <n1c3t34> and no forum have helped
[20:10] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, why are you using wine?
[20:10] <bekks> jrtappers: /var/log
[20:11] <n1c3t34> vecause i want to install a wlan adapter
[20:11] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, well wine isn't going to help you with that
[20:11] <bekks> jrtappers: running sudo apt-get clean will be more useful, most likely.
[20:11] <n1c3t34> yeah but ndiswrapper right?
[20:11] <Mariola> i have made an update and now internet doesnt work. It says now network card is 1Gbit (but i think it isnt in reality) i can connect to the router but internet doesnt work?!?!
[20:11] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, probably
[20:11] <jrtappers> bekks, so if I symlink that to the external (slow) then my disk usage will stop increasing
[20:11] <n1c3t34> but i got this error as i said
[20:11] <ldlework> jrib, thanks
[20:11] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, what network card?
[20:12] <Jordan_U> n1c3t34: You should always try native linux drivers first.
[20:12] <n1c3t34> so it wont work :/
[20:12] <n1c3t34> i didnt tried finding them
[20:12] <Jordan_U> Mariola: Please pastebin the output of "ifconfig".
[20:12] <Mariola> ifconfig?
[20:12] <n1c3t34> i got a WNDA3100v2
[20:13] <Mariola> Jordan_U first i have to reboot because im now here on windows, what other commandos could i try to fix it?
[20:13] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, what version of ubuntu
[20:14] <n1c3t34> 12.04 precise
[20:14] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, additional drivers doesn't find it?
[20:14] <n1c3t34> nope :/
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Mariola: To diagnose, "ifconfig", "route -n", "ping 8.8.8.8", and "tracepath 8.8.8.8". To maybe fix things if you're lucky (not knowing what's wrong yet) "sudo dhclient eth0".
[20:16] <n1c3t34_> damn just got a disconnet :/
[20:16] <n1c3t34_> anyone saw something interesting so far?
[20:16] <SKiTZO> i have captured the mouse in my program, but when an exception is raised while running the program in gdb (in eclipse), the program stlil holds the mouse captive and i am unable to use it for controlling anyhting. are there any smart ways to avoid this?
[20:17] <Ari-Yang> ah
[20:17] <Ari-Yang> @ mobina I know what to do with the .run file
[20:17] <Mariola> Jordan_U many thanks :) i reboot and try it now bye -thanks
[20:17] <Ari-Yang> I have another question, so I need to do this on 12.10? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SDeuLpnH
[20:18] <tgm4883> n1c3t34, 32 or 64-bit OS?
[20:19] <capoderra> Why do I have problems with Ubuntu? Everything works, but yesterday my computer restarted without warning and today Libre Writer dimmed and became unresponsive. I've lost a couple hours of work.
[20:19] <tgm4883> capoderra, sounds like hardware issues
[20:27] <Ari-Yang> so I ran sudo apt-get install libqtgui4 and sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack in terminal, I get http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=UGZc6Dsd
[20:27] <Ari-Yang> why?
[20:27] <Ari-Yang> these are commands that I /may' have to do for manually installing catalyst
[20:29] <bean> Ari-Yang: are you using software center right now?
[20:29] <Ari-Yang> you mean if it's open?
[20:29] <Ari-Yang> no, not at all
[20:29] <Ari-Yang> I only have 2 firefox windows
[20:30] <bean> are you using apt-get in another tab
[20:30] <Ari-Yang> hexchat, a folder, terminal, and synaptic package manager
[20:30] <bean> yes
[20:30] <bean> synaptic
[20:30] <Ari-Yang> oh
[20:30] <bean> you can't have that open while doing apt-get
[20:30] <Ari-Yang> ah
[20:30] <Ari-Yang> okay
[20:30] <bean> it locks
[20:30] <Ari-Yang> I'll close it then
[20:32] <Shutterstrom> How can I install missing liberaries when I'm trying to run make command and it tells me liberaries are missing?
[20:34] <bean> Shutterstrom: it depends on the package
[20:34] <Fuzzles> when i try to run TF2 i get "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode"
[20:35] <Darkstar1> evening all and QQ which files do I need to edit to declare my nameservers? editing resolv.conf doesn't seem to do it
[20:36] <Shutterstrom> bean, I'm trying to install Minidlna from source code and after unziping tarball and running make command Ubuntu tells me the names of missing liberaries. But I know how to install them.
[20:37] <Shutterstrom> bean, I'm running ubuntu server and tereminal only.
[20:37] <bean> Darkstar1: probably look in network manager if you're on desktop, i believe it controls that
[20:37] <bean> Shutterstrom: okay, apt-get install <packagenameoflibrary>
[20:38] <Darkstar1> bean: not on desktop I'm logged in via cli
[20:38] <bean> Darkstar1: but is it a ubuntu-desktop installation?
[20:38] <bean> Darkstar1: ifnot, /etc/resolv.conf should be correct.
[20:38] <Darkstar1> bean: yeah it's a desktp onstall acting as a server
[20:39] <Shutterstrom> bean, "cound not found package libavcodec" :(
[20:39] <Shutterstrom> bean,  could*
[20:39] <Jordan_U> Shutterstrom: sudo apt-get install minidlna
[20:39] <bean> Shutterstrom: apt-cache search avcodec and see what it has, I dont know the name
[20:39] <Darkstar1> bean: also I VNC'ed into it and can't see the network manager
[20:39] <bean> Darkstar1: hmm, well if network manager is running it likely controls DNS.
[20:40] <Jordan_U> Shutterstrom: Or if you're absolutely certain that you need to compile from source (why?) then "sudo apt-get build-dep minidlna".
[20:40] <Shutterstrom> Jordan_U, Thanks, I already have Minidlna installed that way, but I want to upgrade from 1.0.21 to 1.0.25
[20:41] <Jordan_U> !backport | Shutterstrom
[20:42] <bean> Darkstar1: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf: likely has a line that says, dns=dnsmasq  -- Comment that out to say #dns=dnsmasq
[20:42] <bean> and then restart networking stuff.
[20:42] <Darkstar1> rgr
[20:42] <Jordan_U> Shutterstrom: There's also a tool to automate backporting something yourself, which may help you.
[20:45] <Shutterstrom> Jordan_U, But if I download minidlna source code I have to compile it. But when I try to, Ubuntu tells me I'm missing these packages. Even though I have an older version av miniDlna on my server
[20:47] <bean> Shutterstrom: why are you upgrading? because the official version doesn't libavcodec support?
[20:48] <drox> salve
[20:49] <Shutterstrom> bean, because current version resize album artwork to 160*160 px which makes them of bad quality when viewing artwork.
[20:50] <bean> Shutterstrom: okay, what ubuntu version are you on?
[20:50] <gQuigs> does anyone have an official reference for the exact date Ubuntu 8.04 will stop being supported?
[20:50] <gQuigs> this askubuntu question, has one that I can't verify: http://askubuntu.com/questions/262828/what-day-in-april-will-ubuntu-8-04-hardy-server-be-scheduled-for-end-of-life
[20:51] <BluesKaj> !8.04 |  gQuigs
[20:51] <Shutterstrom> bean, 12.04 LTS (64 bit server)
[20:51] <OerHeks> !8.04
[20:51] <bean> April 2013 (Server)
[20:51] <bean> is when support for 8.04 ends
[20:51] <ikonia> bean: it says in the factoid you've just seen
[20:52] <bean> aware, it just says "2013"
[20:52] <gQuigs> yup, I know that, I am asking for a specific date
[20:52] <gQuigs> I know it's april too :)
[20:52] <bean> where as ubuntu.com/Releases says april 2013.
[20:53] <jjgalvez__> I tried to use ctrl-atl-f1 today to open a new screen (I wanted to kill something that was stuck) and all I got was a blank screen, anyone know how to figure this out?
[20:53] <BluesKaj> bean:  that's for the server edition
[20:53] <bean> Aware, BluesKaj, I'm assuming thats what he meant
[20:54] <bean> thus, you know, i said (Server) after it.
[20:54] <holstein> jjgalvez__: i dont.. but i have seen that when i was using some odd via graphics drivers.. i never really "fixed" it.. i just used other drivers
[20:54] <Shutterstrom> bean, and also, when I'm searching for liberari using apt-cache search <name> the result codec name ends with 53 for all my searches. I.E. livavcodec (missing) -> livavcodec53 (search result)
[20:54] <bean> Shutterstrom: if you upgrade to 12.10, there is 1.0.24
[20:54] <_ohm> I am trying to run mysql and I get the following error http://pastebin.com/NPVA3y2k
[20:54] <bean> Shutterstrom: that is likely
[20:54] <_ohm> Please help
[20:54] <holstein> jjgalvez__: i would say, try booting your older kernel
[20:54] <gQuigs> sorry, I should have been more specific - I'm looking for the date in april when the 8.04 Server version stops being supported
[20:54] <bean> _ohm: that means your mysql server isn't running
[20:55] <genii-around> jjgalvez__: Try f2 instead of f1. I found on my kubuntu that the lightdm greeter occupies console 1 until the desktop comes up and had to do it that way before
[20:55] <holstein> gQuigs: i would plan on the 1st.. i would say, it could depend
[20:55] <jjgalvez__> genii-around: none of them work (other than f7)
[20:55] <genii-around> !eol | gQuigs the info should be somewhere here :
[20:55] <_ohm> bean, I have tried the command 'sudo server mysqld start' and get 'mysql start/running' but when I run mysql I get the same error
[20:56] <Shutterstrom> bean, but I really like to fololow through with this installation so that I learn how to do it. :)
[20:56] <jjgalvez__> holstein: I'll try booting into the old kernel, if that works what do I do? will I always have to pick the old kernel everytime  I reboot?
[20:56] <_ohm> bean, i have tried just about everything I have found on google but to no avail, how do I turn it on?
[20:56] <holstein> jjgalvez__: you'll know where the issue is.. thats all..
[20:56] <genii-around> jjgalvez__: Yes, that is unusual.
[20:56] <bekks> _ohm: check wether mysql is running using "ps -ef | grep mysql"
[20:57] <Shutterstrom> bean, but what about the "53"-extension.. Can that be installed instead of the lib. asked for?
[20:57] <_ohm> bekks, I get this output http://pastebin.com/H7j55wLj
[20:57] <jjgalvez__> holstein: genii-around ok going to give that a try brb
[20:57] <BluesKaj> gQuigs:  then you have another month or so left
[20:58] <bean> Shutterstrom: yeah, that can likely be installed instead, you might need the ones with -dev
[20:58] <bean> _ohm: pastebin me the output of "ps aux | grep mysql"
[20:58] <gQuigs> BluesKaj: where did you find that?
[20:58] <Shutterstrom> bean, thanks. I'll give it a try! :)
[20:58] <DJones> gQuigs: Server editions are supported for 5 years, so as it was released on 24th April, I'd plan on eol being around that date in 2013
[20:59] <_ohm> bean, http://pastebin.com/yuX2zmeY
[20:59] <BluesKaj> servers are 5 yrs , gq
[20:59] <tacorwin> Hello all. :) How do I sign up for a Ubuntu Membership?
[20:59] <BluesKaj> gQuigs: ^
[20:59] <DJones> !membership | tacorwin
[20:59] <gQuigs> DJones: BluesKaj: that does make sense, thanks
[20:59] <tacorwin> !membership
[21:00] <tacorwin> wait, that didnt do anything..
[21:00] <Shutterstrom> bean, "53" lib was already installed..
[21:00] <Shutterstrom> bean, "53" lib was already installed.. trying dev...
[21:00] <bean> the -dev is what you need to compile stuff with
[21:01] <DJones> tacorwin: THe bot doesn't repeat info if its been asked in the last few minutes to avoid spamming the channel
[21:01] <BlueProtoman> I'm trying to connect my laptop (Ubuntu 12.10) to my Toshiba Thrive (which runs Android) so I can transfer my files, but my computer isn't recognizing my tablet.  It did once, but timed out because it took a while to scan.  Any tips?
[21:01] <tacorwin> DJones: oh, okay.
[21:01] <_ohm> bean, any luck?
[21:01] <_ohm> bekks, any luck?
[21:02] <DJones> BlueProtoman: I'd suggest installing Airdroid on the tablet, it may be the easiest method
[21:02] <bean> _ohm: mysqld isn't running, you might want to do restart the mysqld instead of starting it
[21:02] <_ohm> bean, what is the command for that?
[21:02] <bean> _ohm: you did it with "start" earlier, try "restart"
[21:03] <bekks> _ohm: Try running mysqld with the options needed to provide your my.cnf, and see why it errors out. Before doing so, investigate the mysql logs why its freaking out.
[21:05] <BlueProtoman> DJones: Holy shit, this is amazing!  Thank you!
[21:09] <_ohm> bean, I did service mysql stop/start, it hangs on start are there any logs I can check to see if something went wrong?
[21:09] <bean> _ohm: /var/log/mysql.log or maybe mysqld.log

[21:14] <tacorwin> DJones: the site did not clearly explain how to add/edit your Wiki to add a membership page.
[21:15] <_ohm> bean, the log is empty in vim
[21:15] <bean> _ohm: idk what to tell you then
[21:15] <bekks> _ohm: Then try starting mysqld as I told you above.
[21:16] <_ohm> bekks, "sudo service mysql service start" ? What is the specific command?
[21:16] <_ohm> because service mysql start/restart completely hangs
[21:16] <bean> tacorwin: what have you done to get membership? you have to contribute to get membership
[21:16] <l_r> hello
[21:17] <l_r> what version of the gcc compiler will ubuntu 13.04 use?
[21:17] <l_r> note that gcc4.8 is out
[21:17] <bean> l_r: it depends on if it was released before the feature freeze.
[21:17] <l_r> bean, oh..so they won't switch to gcc 4.8?
[21:17] <genii-around> !info gcc raring
[21:17] <Ari-Yang> hmmm
[21:17] <Ari-Yang> Isitll have the watermark
[21:18] <Ari-Yang> * I still
[21:18] <l_r> what a pity
[21:18] <bekks> Ari-Yang: Why is that so important?
[21:18] <Ari-Yang> bekks, well, for one thing, it's' kind of annoying =/
[21:19] <bekks> Ari-Yang: How long do you see that watermark, actually? :)
[21:19] <Ari-Yang> bekks, for ever..........
[21:19] <Guest11866> hiii
[21:20] <Ari-Yang> @ jrtappers told me of it
[21:20] <Ari-Yang> oh
[21:20] <Ari-Yang> he isn't here....
[21:20] <Guest11866> i need help in my wireless
[21:20] <Guest11866> can anyone help me?
[21:20] <Guest6474> hello every body!
[21:20] <bekks> !ask | Guest11866
[21:21] <_ohm> bekks, can I just purge the entire database and start over?
[21:21] <bean> l_r: thats how it works though, can;t just have shit all willynilly
[21:21] <Shutterstrom> bean, I got it to work after installing all development packages. Thanks.
[21:21] <bean> np
[21:22] <tacorwin> bean: i just wanted to try to get one.. i mean, i haven't done anything important, I created the new WINE portion to the manual for 13.04, i have created the idea of an "official" Ubuntu Artwork website, so artists can create and distribute their work among other members, without spamming the mailing lists (which this idea is in effect, its just not endorsed by Ubuntu <ubuntuart.org>). I have also hosted two Ubuntu training s
[21:22] <tacorwin> essions in my neighborhood. I'm hoping that is enough...
[21:22] <bekks> _ohm: Purging a database will not magically make your mysql daemon start again.
[21:23] <bean> tacorwin: tacorwin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
[21:23] <tacorwin> bean: Thanks! :)
[21:23] <wabash> I would like to find out if Ubuntu 12.10 live CD includes GParted before I download it. How can I find this out?
[21:23] <Guest11866> i cannot connect to my wireless connection in my home...it want authentication code foreverrr ..i know i spell it right....even i remove my password from my wireless modem but its trying connect for about 30 sec then  its says wireless connection disconnected!
[21:23] <Ari-Yang> so is there another way of getting ridof the annoying watermark?
[21:23] <bean> tacorwin: that was linked on the page linked to you initially ;)
[21:23] <l_r> if ubuntu uses gcc4.7.2 by default, does it mean it will not provide gcc4.8 as an additional package in any case?
[21:23] <Guest11866> i dont know what too do
[21:23] <bean> Ari-Yang: don't use beta drivers? :)
[21:24] <Ari-Yang> besides that =/
[21:24] <tacorwin> bean: oh.. I must have read over it. haha.
[21:24] <genii-around> l_r: I'm currently on 13.04 and apt-cache shows me only gcc-4.7 ... 4.8 may end up being added sometime after release
[21:24] <Guest11866> i dont know what drive im using it
[21:25] <wabash> Anyone here know about how to find out which packages are included in a Live CD?
[21:25] <gQuigs> wabash: it does
[21:25] <gQuigs> wabash: http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.manifest
[21:25] <wabash> gQuigs: Excellent! thank you.
[21:25] <gQuigs> wabash: every release has a manifest file that tells you what is in it
[21:25] <_ohm> bekks, I have no idea what to do then. "sudo service mysql restart" hangs and every fix just results in more errors.
[21:26] <wabash> gQuigs: Cool. Is Gparted the most modern thing for resizing and moving partitions?
[21:26] <bekks> _ohm: Then start mysqld from the cmdline, not using "service...", provide the options for using your my.cnf and see why it refuses to start.
[21:27] <gQuigs> wabash: it's what I would recommend... but be careful.. partitions can be difficult, read all gparted warnings
[21:27] <wabash> Oh, n problem there gQuigs.
[21:27] <wabash> thanks
[21:27] <wabash> gQuigs: Do you know how ubuntu does gpg key checks for its package downloads?
[21:28] <bekks> wabash: For ensuuring you get officially signed downloads.
[21:28] <wabash> bekks: Exactly. So are the keys in a pki directory somewhere?
[21:29] <wabash> and, which keys are included? And can I add more keys?
[21:29] <MoPac> Has anybody here had problems with getting their edge flipping settings in CCSM to stick?  (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1158607 )
[21:29] <bekks> wabash: Never cared about a .pki in that context :)
[21:29] <MoPac> ^ I'm in 13.04, but I think it also affected me in Quantal
[21:30] <wabash> bekks: Why not? that's what gpg keys are.
[21:30] <bekks> wabash: Why should I care with something I dont want to care with?
[21:30] <wabash> Ok, anyone else who can help me here?
[21:31] <you-tee-f> ?
[21:31] <wabash> I'd like to know how Ubuntu manages its keys for the gpg check for new packages that I add.
[21:31] <you-tee-f> then i can't help

[21:35] <genii-around> jonascj: You probably want managed=false   under the [ifupdown] section in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[21:35] <OerHeks> wabash, those keys are stored here > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Authentication_Tab and you can add your own PPA & key

[21:35] <puff> Running 12.4 LTS.  I bought an hp photosmart 6520.  Printing works fine, it doesn't show up as a scanner.  Other photosmarts are on the ubuntu hardware support list (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersHp) but not the 6520.  The 6520 is on the SANE project's support list (http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html) but only for SCSI.  Is there no hope?
[21:36] <loosebruce> I tired using "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" but it couldnt find that either

[21:39] <mifritscher> loosebruce: what about an apt-get update?
[21:39] <OerHeks> loosebruce, 10.10 is EOL end of life, that is the issue
[21:39] <OerHeks> !10.10
[21:39] <mifritscher> oh, yes^^
[21:40] <jonascj> genii-around: it already says "managed=false" under /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[21:40] <loosebruce> OerHeks: if its out of date OS why is this VPS letting me use it?
[21:40] <genii-around> jonascj: Are there entries in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[21:40] <jonascj> genii-around: if I want network manager to do absolutely nothing I might just purge it, mightn't I?
[21:40] <emor> hi every one.....i have problem with my wireless plz help me...i cant connect to my wireless connection its want authenticating code forever...i know i spell it right i even removed my password and tried it once again but its trying to connect after about 20 sec it says wireless connction disconnected
[21:41] <genii-around> jonascj: You could try. although I'm not sure what dependencies it might want to also remove with it
[21:41] <jonascj> genii-around: yes, /etc/network/interfaces is filled with configs - that's what I want to do, just use /etc/network/interfaces
[21:41] <emor> hi every one.....i have problem with my wireless plz help me...i cant connect to my wireless connection its want authenticating code forever...i know i spell it right i even removed my password and tried it once again but its trying to connect after about 20 sec it says wireless connction disconnected
[21:41] <OerHeks> loosebruce, there is a fix, you can install packages but don't get recent security updates
[21:42] <OerHeks> !eolupgrade | loosebruce see the part with "old-releases"
[21:42] <genii-around> jonascj: If you're getting the "waiting for network" "waiting 60 more seconds" then probably the /etc/network/interfaces setup is timing out, not that network manageis at fault

[21:52] <CLStarr> Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu using the installer for Windows, and I'm having trouble getting it started from boot even though it's been fully installed and partitioned. When I boot the Ubuntu distro it just lingers at a typing prompt with a single blinking line. Did I do something wrong or do I need to enter something to make it actually wake up?
[21:53] <lousygarua> emor, yes
[21:54] <iLogicalluz> How do I disable ipv6 on ubuntu?

[21:58] <kyle_rand> How do I get this amazon spyware off of my machine?
[21:59] <lousygarua> OerHeks, CLStarr, yeah i's the 'nomodeset' problem.
[21:59] <CLStarr> lousygarua: Got it. So just F6 while booting?
[22:00] <lousygarua> CLStarr, just follow the instructions.

[22:00] <kyle_rand> Anyone?  Amazon icon appearing in dock many reboots and long after removing the shopping lens
[22:02] <OerHeks> kyle_rand, can you post a screenshot with that icon and dash open ?
[22:02] <OerHeks> awesome :-D
[22:02] <davidcalle> kyle_rand, hi, this not the shopping lens, this is a webapp (you can also have, twitter, google news, etc.) It's a smart launcher that allow websites features on the desktop: youtube and music websites in the sound menu, a lot of options on right click on the launcher, etc. You have probably clicked on the "Integrate Amazon to Ubuntu" pop-up while browsing Amazon.
[22:03] <kyle_rand> davidcalle: Well it's new, and I didn't install it.  I NEVER clicked that crap.
[22:03] <jrib> kyle_rand: it's probably just the webapp
[22:03] <davidcalle> kyle_rand, ok. Anyway, to uninstall it, look for Amazon in the software center.
[22:03] <tgm4883> davidcalle, I think it's installed by default (the webapp)
[22:04] <kyle_rand> dpkg --get-selections shows nothing with amazon in the name.
[22:04] <davidcalle> tgm4883, oh right :)
[22:04] <kyle_rand> tgm4883: webapp is the name?
[22:04] <tgm4883> kyle_rand, it's probably something like "unity-webapps-amazon"
[22:04] <davidcalle> kyle_rand, the name is unity-webapps-amazon. But looking for webapps or amazon works too
[22:05] <jonascj> I still get "Waiting for network configuration" "Wait 60sec more for network configuration" on boot - even though my /etc/network/interfaces seems to be just fine (manual ifdown and then ifup -a does not give any errors=
[22:06] <kyle_rand> This crap goes beyond making a unix desktop easy to use, it's making it creepy.
[22:06] <CLStarr> I'm back and it didn't work.
[22:06] <davidcalle> kyle_rand, fwiw, you can also, in the Dash, right click launchers you don't like and click on uninstall.
[22:06] <kyle_rand> And the only webapp listed were unity-webapps-service and unity-webapps-common.  ONly common could be removed.
[22:06] <holstein> !nounity
[22:07] <kyle_rand> davidcalle: Nope.  Right click on it, it says amazon basket, wishlist, etc, but nothing about removing it.
[22:07] <emor> lousygarua, in that tutorial that you gave me said....dmesg | grep "iwlagn" returns what should i write in terminal?
[22:07] <davidcalle> kyle_rand, in the applications part of the Dash
[22:08] <CthonianFruits> brb guys
[22:08] <CthonianFruits> gotta hard reboot.
[22:09] <kyle_rand> davidcalle: Nope.  It's not showing up. Looks like removing webpp common did the trick, but it's sleezy and sneaky how they put it in there.
[22:09] <Korda> good afternoon!

[22:18] <bmxscott1993> im using my phone on the chat now
[22:18] <chemicaltoilet> If you open terminal try using "sudo modprobe rt3090pci" and see if that works for you
[22:19] <chemicaltoilet> Same here bmxscott1993, are you using androirc too?

[22:21] <jonascj> will "ifup eth0" fail if eth0 is set to dhcp and not network cable is attached? Could that be what's happening at start up of my ubuntu? That eth0 with "auto" and dhcp is hanging because it is disconnected?

[22:23] <nfd> Dumb question time: in what package could I find gtk2-devel?
[22:23] <nullucas> hi, is it theoretically possible to have a keyboard layout where pressing one key produces more than one unicode character? (Example: pressing "j" I'd get "dʒ"). Or is this nonsense?
[22:23] <chemicaltoilet> Korda i think your driver is unsupported and blacklisted but thats okay we might still be able to fix this
[22:23] <nfd> I need it to compile another project.
[22:24] <chemicaltoilet> Try rfkill unblock all then install https://launchpad.net/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090/+files/rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.3-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb
[22:24] <bmxscott1993> i did not no this chat keeps logs
[22:24] <jonascj> genii-around: yeah, it causes no delays if I actually connect the nics. So I need to remove "auto" or live with this delay
[22:25] <mininessie> is it better to wait for the ubuntu beta or to use the stable final relase of ubuntu and then update within

[22:26] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: What do I have to do now?
[22:26] <chemicaltoilet> That is "rfkill unblock all" and you may need to do this as super user
[22:26] <nfd> Thanks.
[22:26] <chemicaltoilet> Then click the link to get the correct drivers for your card
[22:27] <nfd> It looks like I actually already have it installed (but the project still won't compile).

[22:28] <ner0x> Any way to download a folder in ubuntu one rather than a single file? (On the web interface)
[22:28]  * _goxxsy_ veche drugari ! :-)) :DD
[22:28] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: I don't know if it work or not
[22:28] <chemicaltoilet> This is just to unblacklist your card
[22:28] <mininessie> is it better to wait for the ubuntu beta or to use the stable final relase of ubuntu and then update within
[22:28] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: okay
[22:28] <emor> every one...lsmod | grep iwlagn...what does it mean?
[22:28] <chemicaltoilet> Then with the link i posted above download your drivers, this should do the trick
[22:28] <nfd> Also, while I'm here...
[22:29] <emor> every one...lsmod | grep iwlagn...what does it mean?what should i type?
[22:29] <mininessie> is it better to wait for the ubuntu beta or to use the stable final relase of ubuntu and then update within
[22:30] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: I did dl of your link
[22:30] <nfd> xscreensaver keeps crashing when I lock the screen. It locks up everything, alt-sysreq-K did nothing (though this might be xubuntu's configuration), numlock keys didn't trigger lights. Had to hard reset. Reinstalling xscreensaver didn't help.
[22:30] <acovrig> I'm getting 'cpio: not implemented or invalid option' when running 'update-initramfs -u' and when I boot, it doesn't see my LVM...
[22:31] <emor> every one...lsmod | grep iwlagn...what does it mean?what should i type in terminal??
[22:31] <genii-around> mininessie: It's usually better to wait for the final.
[22:31] <bekks> emor: Thats the command: lsmod | grep iwlagn
[22:31] <chemicaltoilet> If it doesnt automatically install, grab it from your download directory and install it with the package manager
[22:32] <emor> when i type it nothing happend
[22:32] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: I used a double click in this package and the system said that "it's a dangerous package"
[22:32] <mutante> wonders if samba-common and samba-common-bin are default or what pulls them in, because i notice i have that package all over the place without actually needing Samba at all
[22:32] <bekks> emor: lsmod lists loaded kernel modules, grep iwlagn filters that list for the iwlagn module. If it isnt in that list, it looks like "nothing happened".
[22:32] <emor> bekks: i typed it but nothing happend
[22:33] <mininessie> genii-around: i know this but i am wonder should i just download 13.04 or upgrade 12.10 to 13.04
[22:33] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: Can I continue?
[22:33] <chemicaltoilet> Yes this is because it was blacklisted, if you want to wait 20 mins though i can test it on my comp to confirm its safe
[22:34] <mutante> mininessie: /win 15
[22:34] <mutante> oops, ignore that. sry
[22:34] <genii-around> mininessie: After final release, to upgrade from in your 12.10 is the usual. This way all your settings and so on are preserved
[22:34] <emor> bekks: what should i do..? i cannot do anything without it...
[22:34] <bekks> emor: Did you try: modprobe iwlagn
[22:34] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: "The installation of a package which violates the quality standards is not allowed. This can cause serious problems on your computer. Contact the person or organization that provided this file and include the details below."
[22:34] <bekks> emor: sudo modprobe iwlagn
[22:34] <emor> no
[22:34] <emor> w8 e sec
[22:35] <mininessie> genii-around: but right now i don't have ubuntu installed
[22:35] <emor> bekks: nothing happend again
[22:35] <dbugger> hey guys. Can someone please help me set up my system so that my line-in sound though my speakers?
[22:35] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: detail below http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5638455/
[22:35] <bekks> emor: Now run: lsmod | grep iwlagn again.
[22:36] <genii-around> mininessie: So if you were planning to install anyhow, just install the latest current release ( 12.10 ) and then after April 25 when 13.04 becomes final, you will get an option to upgrade to it from within there.
[22:36] <emor> bekks:again same result
[22:36] <bekks> emor: Then take a look at "dmesg" what happened.
[22:36] <emor> ok
[22:37] <bmxscott1993> i love ubuntu now im use to it just started to use it it easy to fix and get great help from user thank for all you people for helping me

[22:43] <emor> bekks:its says enter autentication code..i enter it correctly but its want it again.i removed my password from wireless but its trying connect for 30 sec and then its says wireless disconnected

[22:46] <bekks> emor: Of course. Because WLAN uses Ethernet, too.
[22:47] <chemicaltoilet> Korda this applies to 12.x too
[22:47] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, have you tried using a live cd to see if it's not hardware?
[22:47] <bekks> emor: And being connected using ppp0, trying to connect using wlan will fail most likely.
[22:47] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: I'm going to try now

[22:48] <emor> bekks: can i help me? what do you mean by that?
[22:50] <bekks> emor: Disable your dialin connnection, the try to enable your wlan. Trying to run both at a time will not work most likely.
[22:50] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: even I using "rfkill unblock all" say it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5638498/
[22:51] <emor> bekks: you mean i disconnect with wired connection then try to wireless?
[22:51] <bekks> emor: No. I said: disable the dialin connection, then connect to your wireless.
[22:52] <emor> bekks: im sory i dont know what do you mean by dialin connction? you mean dsl connection 1?
[22:53] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, I already had it once

[22:56] <dxtr_1> Can i ask you something guys ?
[22:56] <bekks> emor: How did you disconnect your connection without leaving this channel?
[22:56] <chemicaltoilet> If its not blocked you should be able to install that package
[22:57] <emor> i did disconnected
[22:57] <chemicaltoilet> You may need to use gksu apt install /path to package/
[22:57] <chemicaltoilet> Sorry that's apt-get korda
[22:58] <emor> bekks: i dont know maybe i reconnect again soon...and i dident close the page,,
[22:58] <k1l_> chemicaltoilet: gksu and apt-get is totally wrong
[22:58] <bekks> emor: You didnt left this channel, so you did not disconnect.
[22:58] <Korda> chemicaltoilet: but it say that Wireless lan is "hard blocked"
[22:59] <Korda> in the tuto that you posted to me it's need to be all "no"
[22:59] <emor> bekks: im sorry i will try this connecting again.
[22:59] <k1l_> Korda: is there a button or switch to turn wifi on?
[23:00] <Korda> k1l_: yeah, and fn+f5 combination too
[23:00] <k1l_> Korda: turn the hardware switch and try rfkill again

[23:06] <emor_> how can i find my wireless driver?? its azureware ge 781....i searched every where...
[23:07] <bekks> emor_: lspci -k or lsusb and in addition: lsmod
[23:08] <levo> is there any program like tsocks for http proxies either?
[23:10] <emor_> bekks:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5638563/
[23:11] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, have you checked Additional Drivers under Software Sources?
[23:11] <bekks> emor_: line 69 to 71. You are using the iwlwifi driver.
[23:11] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, I installed ubuntu restricted extas, if thats what you mean
[23:12] <emor_> bekks: i searched in internet...and in some sites says your wireless model is azureware ge 781. but in ubuntu its known as intel 1000 n?? does it problem?
[23:12] <bekks> emor_: The device uses the Intel 1000 bgn chipset.
[23:13] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, no, I'm referring to checking for additional drivers you might be missing
[23:13] <emor_> bekks: so whats diffrent between iwlwifi and iwlagn?
[23:13] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, I wouldnt know how or where to do that...
[23:13] <bekks> emor_: They are two different drivers.
[23:14] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, are you using ubuntu 12.04?
[23:14] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, yes
[23:15] <Korda> Oh God ... I need to make wireless work :/
[23:15] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, go to Systems Setting, Software Sources, Additional Drivers tab
[23:15] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, check to see if you have any sound cards listed
[23:16] <emor_> bekks:can u see this page? and help me too do this?

[23:19] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, under the Input Tag I see "Analog Input, Built-in audio"

[23:19] <emor_> bekks: i have same resault just like he is...

[23:22] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, what't computer are you using?
[23:23] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, Im not sure how to answer that question. What do you mean?
[23:23] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, model
[23:23] <EnriqueMoreno> Its mounted by pieces. Its not a branded one.
[23:23] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, I think its called hybrid

[23:25] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, I dont really remember what I did
[23:25] <bekks> emor_: Then read on.
[23:26] <emor_> bekks: i will but mine command is diffrent result

[23:28] <sun_devil> I cant print from ubuntu laptop.  Wonder if I can connect wireless printer via usb to router and use home network?
[23:28] <iderik> I have a process that wont stop. Ive tried "killall"-command and in System Monitor.
[23:29] <julian-delphiki> iderik, you probably need to kill its parent process.
[23:30] <BigFist> sun_devil I'm using wireless printer in my network from ubuntu
[23:30] <jose106> iderik, or reboot
[23:30] <BigFist> but it's canon printer, so it was plain and simple to setup
[23:30] <BigFist> and it just works
[23:31] <jose106> EnriqueMoreno, we might not have an expert on sound cards right now, sorry for not helping
[23:31] <iderik> julian-delphiki: thanks
[23:31] <sun_devil> BigFist, the wireless part of printer does not work, but my router has usb.  Never tried it that way
[23:32] <julian-delphiki> sun_devil, it depends on if its compatible -- it may be. not really an ubuntu question
[23:33] <EnriqueMoreno> jose106, thanks anyway
[23:34] <BigFist> sun_devil: afaik it depends on router, you should check in manual does it support your printer, I have one old robotics router and it supports only few printers
[23:34] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[23:35] <sun_devil> Its not a router issue, wireless Kodak printer is not compatible with anything other than HP
[23:35] <BigFist> the younger is your router the more likely this could work, as long as your ubuntu will be able to talk to this printer
[23:37] <AwesomeNewbie> I saved a xls file with libre office but now i have just the last sheet and when i open it, calc first needs to "import text file" ? it there a way to restore it? the  .~lock.filename.xls is still here but only contains "myubuntu ,myubuntu,mycomputer,23.03.2013 00:29,file:///home/myubuntu/.config/libreoffice/3;"

[23:43] <AwesomeNewbie> thats the problem!!!!!!!!!
[23:43] <julian-delphiki> Kalebtbacon, thats not really a "serious" problem, why not just reinstall wubi with a normal, decently long, password.
[23:43] <julian-delphiki> terabit, thats annoying, stop.

[23:44] <AwesomeNewbie> bekks: jrib: I don't care about the wrong saving, next time i will create it ordinary with calc instead of "new file" in the file browser
[23:44] <bcbc2> Kalebtbacon: boot in recovery mode, from a root shell remount rw, change the passwd.

[23:46] <riobe> Can I elevate the permissions of an already running program in Ubuntu? I'm trying to update IntelliJ IDEA and when I tell it to do it's update magic, it gets multiple access denied errors. I want to start it, then elevate it, then tell it to check for updates and update itself. Is this possible?
[23:47] <jrib> TheWickedOne: well my advice would be to see if there's a directory in ~ that you can use.  If not and the documentation confirms (including debian-specific one if it exists in /usr/share/doc)  that you should copy the file like you want, then you can use "gksudo nautilus"
[23:47] <riobe> I'm new to Linux, and I'm looking for an equivalent of run as admin.
[23:47] <julian-delphiki> riobe, no.
[23:47] <riobe> Fun.
[23:47] <julian-delphiki> riobe, you need to run it as root to make that happen
[23:47] <TheWickedOne> jrib: ill try
[23:47] <julian-delphiki> riobe, sudo will work before hand though
[23:47] <riobe> So I need to start the program from the terminal with a sudo command?
[23:48] <julian-delphiki> riobe, or gksudo, sounds like you have intellij installed improperly though
[23:48] <jrib> riobe: ideally you would install your software through APT and update that way
[23:48] <riobe> julian-delphiki: I wouldn't know. I just got it from the software center and opened it from the launcher.
[23:48] <riobe> The software center version is out of date, and the program's behavior of checking for updates caught that.
[23:49] <riobe> Never heard of gksudo. I'll go google that.
[23:49] <TheWickedOne> jrib: accomplished. I give you sincere thanks from the corrupted ones.

[23:54] <riobe> r0tha: Thanks for the answer...but I don't really understand what you mean for me to do.
[23:56] <r0tha> open up a terminal and type which <the name of the program>

[23:57] <riobe> It's IntelliJ IDEA
[23:57] <riobe> They didn't call it idea, or intellij-idea
