| RileyGuy | Hello? I am here to ask for help because I think I have found a bug with ubuntu and minecraft | 00:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Can you file a report in Launchpad or on the Minecraft area? | 00:02 |
| RileyGuy | How would I do that | 00:02 |
| pobri19 | hi guys, i've got an odd problem, how do i get the device listing (like /dev/sddX) for a toughpad i just plugged in via usb? | 00:03 |
| technopeasant | The computer used to work fine with ubuntu older fersions like ver 8 | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 00:03 |
| RileyGuy | well I think its just a glitch on my end and I would like live support instead of waiting | 00:03 |
| SonikkuAmerica | technopeasant: Western Digital 800 IDE hard drive? | 00:03 |
| Dougie187 | This might not be the proper place to ask this. But has anyone else had trouble with google chrome + google hangouts lately? | 00:04 |
| Dave77 | how do I find out what build of libav I have? I tried a AAC radio station and it says I need new version for SBR extension | 00:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !ot | Dougie187, you assumed correctly | 00:04 |
| ubottu | Dougie187, you assumed correctly: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:04 |
| technopeasant | It is an SATA | 00:04 |
| Dougie187 | SonikkuAmerica: thanks. :D | 00:04 |
| RileyGuy | You see, whenever I go fullscreen in minecraft. it flickers like its going into fullscreen but it doesnt and leaves a black window but whenever i click its like the game is still playing | 00:04 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Sounds like a graphical bug | 00:05 |
| RileyGuy | I have ATI catalyst | 00:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: What's your card? | 00:05 |
| Aaron__ | hello I'm using Ubuntu, Testing, and my Gnome is acting, weird... the back ground, wallpaper is not showing, on my background image, so i want to know... is this a bug? | 00:05 |

| RileyGuy | technopeasant: check out rescatux | 00:07 |

| JamesB | Hello. I notice when I do aptitude update that it gets from precise and natty-security | 00:09 |
| technopeasant | where would I get that? ANd should I type in your name or does it somhow recognize that automatically. IM new | 00:09 |
| JamesB | What's the reason for that/is there a way to remedy it? I was under the impression I'd long ago upgraded from natty to precise | 00:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Yeah I'm here, saw it | 00:09 |
| RileyGuy | sure | 00:09 |

| OerHeks | RileyGuy, what ATI card ? | 00:11 |
| RileyGuy | ive had this problem on linux mint before i switched over to ubuntu | 00:12 |
| RileyGuy | um lemme see | 00:12 |
| technopeasant | Thanks I bookmarked it. | 00:12 |
| nerder | hello guys | 00:12 |
| technopeasant | What is the procedure to fix it? | 00:12 |
| nerder | someone can explain to me how can i use the suid perms= | 00:12 |
| ThePiousPriest | I'm having trouble getting my Belkin DB 750 N wireless adapter to work | 00:12 |
| ThePiousPriest | doesn't seem to want to run on Linux | 00:12 |
| Ben64 | nerder: why do you need suid | 00:12 |
| wilee-nilee | RileyGuy, Did you catch technopeasant on that the disc is raid? | 00:13 |
| Dave77 | how do I update libav? | 00:13 |
| RileyGuy | whats raid | 00:14 |
| RileyGuy | OerHeks: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series] | 00:14 |
| DarthExpeditor | apt-get is hung up at Downloading Dropbox... 100% | 00:14 |
| OerHeks | RileyGuy, ATI 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are not supported with the latest catalist, afaik | 00:14 |
| nerder | cause i read some paper on the web and is a little bit "strange" | 00:15 |
| RileyGuy | OerHeks is there a way I can fix it? | 00:15 |
| veebull | hey all | 00:15 |
| RileyGuy | becuase minecraft runs fine just not in fullscreen | 00:15 |
| nerder | for example if i understanding well, u can read some file with SU without the super user power | 00:15 |
| nerder | is a little bit strange how i explain that | 00:16 |
| nerder | but i think this is the thing | 00:16 |
| Ben64 | nerder: start at the beginning, what do you wish to accomplish | 00:16 |
| veebull | I've got a T530 laptop that works fine with kernel 3.5.0-26, but fails to boot on 3.5.0-27 | 00:16 |
| technopeasant | wilee-nilee: I understood that I am just wondering when to run the disk? | 00:16 |
| veebull | how do I get useful debug info for the bug report when the system won't even boot completely? | 00:16 |
| nerder | i'm not a beginner, for u a beginner try to study some hard things about file perms? | 00:17 |
| RileyGuy | OerHeks? | 00:17 |
| technopeasant | That is in the install process | 00:17 |
| Ben64 | veebull: what happens when you try to boot | 00:17 |
| DarthExpeditor | veebull, use a live disc. | 00:17 |
| Ben64 | nerder: you're not making much sense | 00:17 |
| veebull | Ben64: after grub, I get a black screen when using the default ubuntu option | 00:18 |
| nerder | i just wanna study how linux use the perms for rwx | 00:18 |
| nerder | that's it | 00:18 |
| veebull | doesn't respond to anything but Ctrl+Alt+del to restart, or the hardware power switch | 00:18 |
| Ben64 | nerder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:19 |
| DarthExpeditor | I'm fixed. Thanks guys! | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | veebull: can you get to a console? (CTRL+ALT+F1) | 00:19 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica: Hello? | 00:19 |
| nerder | Ben64, and where is the special perms? is not what i'm looking for | 00:19 |
| veebull | Ben64: nope, doens't make it that far | 00:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Oops, sorry, doing 28374592734659 things at once. | 00:20 |
| nerder | there's just the sticky bit | 00:20 |
| Ben64 | nerder: then look at the man page for chmod | 00:20 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerca: Its fine | 00:20 |
| wilee-nilee | technopeasant, what disc? | 00:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | <quem> SonikkuAmerica: this ppa should be added to that; https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx <<< quem in #ubuntu+1 suggested this PPA | 00:20 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica: Its fine | 00:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: ^^ | 00:21 |
| nerder | Ben64, if you dont know nothing abuot suid why you answer to me? | 00:21 |
| veebull | Ben64: if select Advanced Options -> 3.5.0-27 Failsafe, I get some of the boot messages, but it dies part ways | 00:21 |
| veebull | Selecting 3.5.0-26 generic kernel boots just fine | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | nerder: check your attitude at the door | 00:21 |
| nerder | i could wait for someone that can truly help me with my question | 00:21 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica: Ohhh boy last time i messed with that it screwed up my x | 00:21 |
| technopeasant | Super Grub disk I was just refered to | 00:22 |
| === wheaties is now known as wheaties466 | ||
| Ben64 | nerder: if you bothered to read the page i linked and the man page for chmod, you would have all the information you needed | 00:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: How so? | 00:22 |
| veebull | basically the same as the bug described here: | 00:22 |
| veebull | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1167114 | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1167114 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu Kernel 3.5.0-27 does not boot" [High,Confirmed] | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | technopeasant, That was advice that was wrong, did you notice the what;s raid answer. | 00:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | veebull: If you know the bug number, use the !bug command. | 00:22 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica: I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it screwed EVERYTHING up | 00:22 |
| quem | RileyGuy: that ppa? i discovered it the other day and it got my ATI card working properly again, after over 1 1/2 years without using the proprietary driver. :) | 00:22 |
| technopeasant | I just wonder how to run it in relation to an install | 00:22 |
| RileyGuy | quem: oh.. ok well I'll try, are u sure it wont mess anything up? | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | veebull: strange, it does look like a bug, not much anyone here can do, just use the older kernel in the meantime? | 00:23 |
| veebull | Short of writing down by hand the last thing I see after booting the failsafe kernel and then typing that in, how else do I get useful info? | 00:23 |
| nerder | some one can explain to me how suid works? | 00:23 |
| veebull | Ben64: thats pretty much what I'm doing... but the problem seems to be that nobody experiencing the problem can provide any useful debug info for the developers | 00:24 |
| veebull | because the systems bomb out before getting that far. | 00:24 |
| quem | RileyGuy: well, i tried it first on sunday, unaware that he was in the process of updating the packages, and then it did screw things up, but i easily recovered from that by uninstalling x, removing the ppa and then installing x again.. then i tried again on tuesday, worked like a charm since then. | 00:24 |
| veebull | SonikkuAmerica: use that command.... where? | 00:24 |
| wilee-nilee | technopeasant, I would use the ubuntu forums as well the help here for what you want may not happen in any timely manner. If you do describe the HD setup so it is easier for the helpers raid is a important inclusion | 00:24 |
| technopeasant | I hope someone here can answer why I can't install GRUB. thank you Wilee-nilee | 00:24 |
| nerder | what's your problem Ben64? i'm reading that, i wanna just share my opinion with someone else | 00:24 |
| nerder | i could not? | 00:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Here | 00:24 |
| RileyGuy | quem: alrighty thanks | 00:24 |

| SonikkuAmerica | veebull: I just said that 5 seconds ago and ubottu won't repeat herself. | 00:25 |
| nerder | ubuntu is not linux? This question made me support, i think that i could ask that | 00:25 |
| nerder | after that i can help someone else | 00:26 |
| veebull | SonikkuAmerica: okay, so... what does get us / me? | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | nerder: i've already given you all relevant information on file permissions, there is nothing left to support | 00:26 |
| RileyGuy | quem: I'm not trying to be mean, I like you quem but, if this messes things up ur gonna help me fix k? | 00:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | veebull: Just a pro tip | 00:26 |
| quem | RileyGuy: i think i must've tried the fglrx packages in the regular repositories at least twenty times over the past 18 months or so.. so finding that one was a tremendous relief. | 00:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | is all | 00:26 |
| veebull | gotcha | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | veebull: what version of ubuntu are you on | 00:26 |
| veebull | Ben64: 12.10 | 00:27 |
| technopeasant | Somehow I don't think Raid is relivent to the situation since the install recognizes it as a RAID setup. and partitions and formats? | 00:27 |
| quem | RileyGuy: heh, i can try. :) i don't see why it shouldn't work though! | 00:27 |
| nerder | relevant about your poin of view? | 00:27 |
| RileyGuy | quem: alrighty | 00:27 |
| veebull | Here's the odd thing... this machine has always worked pretty well with Linux (high-end Lenovo ThinkPad, i5, lots of ram, SSD, etc.) | 00:27 |

| quem | RileyGuy: make sure you can access the machine through ssh too. always a good thing | 00:27 |
| quem | no idea. i've never used minecraft. | 00:28 |
| veebull | Fedora, Mint, openSuSE, Ubuntu, Scientific, etc. | 00:28 |

| technopeasant | Where is the Ubuntu forum? | 00:28 |
| quem | RileyGuy: i've been playing cs 1.6 the past two weeks though.. reliving midteens.. fps went from 30 to 100. | 00:28 |
| RileyGuy | quem: becuase ubuntu 10:10 and under pretty much worked fine | 00:28 |
| quem | ah. same here. can't recall the last version exactly i could use fglrx with | 00:28 |
| veebull | two weeks ago I tried putting Fedora on it... booted the live cd, great. Installed, great. Did updates, great. Rebooted... got this exact problem. | 00:28 |
| veebull | Same thing with Fuduntu. | 00:28 |

| Ben64 | veebull: silly question... were they all 3.5.0.27? | 00:29 |
| quem | RileyGuy: i still suck at it though. i was hoping that better performance would help. but i'm only marginally better at 100fps. :p | 00:29 |

| RileyGuy | quem: is there any way I could contact you? other than irc? | 00:31 |

| fooman | I just downloaded mini.iso and selected Manual Choose Packages and Xfce. I didn't select anything from Uninstalled Packages but it's installing all kinds of stuff. Can someone explain why? | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | fooman: stuff like? | 00:47 |
| fooman | "abiword" | 00:47 |
| dr_willis | xfce is a full featured desktop. so is going to pull in a lot of things for a full desktop | 00:47 |
| ThePiousPriest | hello all, having a bit of trouble getting my Belkin DB n750 Wireless Adapater to work | 00:47 |
| fooman | dr_willis: I am trying to make a VM for a class and I would like to have a super basic installation. Is there somethign else I should do to accomplish this? Clearly selecting Xubuntu Desktop is pulling in the kitchen sink. | 00:48 |
| she_dyed | fooman maybe you misunderstood the word mini in this case. It makes for a quick burn but it will pull the rest online | 00:49 |
| fooman | dr_willis: i.e. if you've ever installed CentOS minimal where you don't even get 'man' by default, that's what I was expecting. | 00:49 |
| fooman | she_dyed: well, the age says it only has the basic packages to install, then it actually prompts you to install packages where you can select something like "Manually Choose Packages" but when I do this and I don't choose to install anythign else (except xubuntu desktop) I get all kinds of stuff | 00:50 |
| fooman | *page | 00:50 |
| dr_willis | fooman: install just a window manager. not a 'desktop enviroment' on top of a minimnal install | 00:50 |
| RileyGuy | quem IT MESSED UP EVERYTTYHING QUEM | 00:51 |
| fooman | dr_willis: should I choose "xfce" and not xubuntu? | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | xfce is not 'just a window manager' | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | I dont use xfce. so no idea what it will install. if i want small i use Lubuntu or lxde | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | or just openbox | 00:51 |
| RileyGuy | quem: IT SCREWED WITH EVERYTHING | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | of course if i wanted a really minimal system with a desktop. id use tiny core linux. ;) | 00:52 |
| quem | RileyGuy: ah. that sucks.. i checked the ppa again. noticed he's added a warning.. "!Warning! There is known issue with Ubuntu 13.04, which make driver crash after kernel update. The problem will be addressed in coming days." | 00:53 |
| quem | so now i'm afraid of rebooting for a few days. :p | 00:53 |

| meLon | I've posted a question on AskUbuntu requesting help turning Ubuntu into a gateway. http://askubuntu.com/questions/280115/ubuntu-as-a-router-gateway-unable-to-access-wan | 00:53 |
| quem | RileyGuy: ah.. 13.04 here. | 00:53 |
| fooman | dr_willis: I want a light window manager though. I tried Unity in a VM and it was ridiculously slow. I mean, I *had* to enable 3D acceleration. | 00:54 |
| RileyGuy | how the HELL DO I EFIING FIX IT | 00:54 |
| she_dyed | lol quit yelling RileyGuy he heard you | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | fooman: unity is a desktop enviroment. 'openbox' is a widnow manager | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | fooman: and yes. Unity wants 3d acell. | 00:54 |
| quem | RileyGuy: remove the ppa, uninstall, reinstall x | 00:54 |
| dr_willis | fooman: smallest window manager i can think of is 'jwm' | 00:55 |
| quem | "To remove the repository and its packages from the system do following command: | 00:55 |
| quem | sudo ppa-purge ppa:makson96/fglrx | 00:55 |
| duckbillp | sary: I have, but only once or twice. Will join #ubuntu-bugs. | 00:55 |
| fooman | dr_willis: yeah, I don't really understand the whole desktop/window manager stack yet. Good to know though. | 00:55 |
| quem | RileyGuy: "If you are using Ubuntu 12.04.2 make sure you got linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal package installed." | 00:55 |
| dr_willis | fooman: its all about layers and legos.. | 00:56 |
| RileyGuy | command not found | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | fooman: layers of software make up the desktopp. the window manager is like just above the foundation (which is X) | 00:56 |
| fooman | dr_willis: So X11 and openbox are equivalent? | 00:56 |
| dr_willis | fooman: the other software line the file manager and other tools are upper floors/rooms/furniture | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | fooman: No.. X11 is the Foundation. | 00:57 |
| quem | !find ppa-purge | 00:57 |
| ubottu | Found: ppa-purge | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | fooman: openbox would be the 'floor' ;) | 00:57 |
| fooman | dr_willis: and openbox is on top of X11 | 00:57 |
| quem | RileyGuy: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge | 00:57 |
| fooman | dr_willis: and then something like xfce is on top of openbox | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | xfce is a COLLECTION of tools that make up the desktop . Xfce uses the xfwm window manager. | 00:57 |
| dr_willis | file manager +window manager +extra tools = a desktop (basically) | 00:58 |
| RileyGuy | i cant do jack **** its iust a black screen when i boot so im doing it from my tablet | 00:58 |

| fooman | dr_willis: yeah I just read up a little on openbox | 01:02 |
| quem | RileyGuy: uninstall it and remove the ppa, then install x again | 01:02 |

| raidensnake | is it possible to build ubuntu from scratch using debootstrap? | 01:32 |
| trism | raidensnake: yep | 01:33 |
| Morpheaus | raidensnake, I've built from ubuntu corefs for my ARM Hackberry board - but it's not the same as "from scratch" - you still install pre-compiled packages... | 01:33 |
| Morpheaus | raidensnake, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core | 01:34 |
| raidensnake | well I want to use debootstrap since I have a script that compiles for the raspberry pi | 01:34 |
| trism | raidensnake: oh debootstrap doesn't compile anything if that's what you meant, sorry | 01:35 |
| raidensnake | but the script does | 01:35 |
| Morpheaus | raidensnake, it's possible - I built mine using corefs as debootstrap wasn't specific enough - I also installed qemu-static packages so I could chroot into the environment before putting it to a flash drive | 01:35 |
| raidensnake | well the script I uses builds a complete bootable image | 01:36 |
| enigmuriatic | what do i do on a new vps if i get told "must be setuid root" every time i try to use sudo/ | 01:36 |

| Morpheaus | enigmuriatic, sounds like you're using a guest account | 01:37 |
| enigmuriatic | if i have the root password how do I change my account privs? | 01:37 |
| raidensnake | all I'd need is a source ftp for debootstrap and the script does the rest | 01:38 |
| Morpheaus | raidensnake, if you get stuck with your script, check out my post on how to put Ubuntu on the Hackberry A10 - same process would be used with a different kernel for the Rasberry Pi: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/development--3/topics/ubuntu-12-10-linux-sunxi-3-4-24-kernel-image-and-build-from-scratch | 01:38 |
| Morpheaus | enigmuriatic, I don't believe you can - the error you described is something that I receive with a guest account and it's because of security - you need to boot using a livecd or some other device to make the changes if you have no other user account that can login to the system - you could also boot into the advanced options in grub and select the "Recovery Mode" option - it presents a screen that allows you to drop to root to mak | 01:40 |

| isaias | can anyone help? please? | 02:38 |
| gizmo | IDWMaster, the basic answer is as long as you distribute it without modification, you are fine | 02:38 |
| IDWMaster | OK, so I just can't mix in any of my own packages or anything. | 02:39 |
| IDWMaster | I was thinking it would be nice to bundle Eclipse, autotools, and various development kits with it, but is that not possible? | 02:39 |
| nathan28 | IDWMaster: anything is possible with Eclipse | 02:40 |
| isaias | why is there another isaias? | 02:41 |
| nathan28 | the question is, do you really need to wait that long to edit a file | 02:41 |
| IDWMaster | I'm just asking if I could distribute a modified Ubuntu installation, which has Eclipse installed by default | 02:41 |
| isaias | wait, same ip? | 02:41 |
| gizmo | IDWMaster, They explicitly allow pre-installing software from their repositories. | 02:41 |
| IDWMaster | OK | 02:41 |
| isaias | I'm trying to change my graphics driver but it gives me an error. /etc/X11/xorg.conf invalid | 02:42 |
| gizmo | IDWMaster, If you want to do something they do not allow, you are encourged to do so, but distribute it as being derived from ubuntu. | 02:42 |
| giiker | is there any way to find out what application installed apache on my system pls | 02:43 |
| IDWMaster | So If I distribute as being derived from Ubuntu, I can add my own packages, but must remove all Ubuntu artwork from the distrbution? | 02:46 |
| IDWMaster | *distribution | 02:46 |
| nathan28 | IDWMaster: it's linux dawg, you do what you want | 02:47 |
| quem | hm, there was a command i used to use to delete duplicate files easily, but i can't remember what it was called. any ideas? | 02:47 |
| IDWMaster | Yeah, but their trademark policy makes me think otherwise: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy | 02:47 |
| nathan28 | IDWMaster: uh | 02:47 |
| nathan28 | don't use their licensed artwork? | 02:47 |
| IDWMaster | Ubuntu comes with their artwork embedded in the project | 02:48 |
| === harshadura_ is now known as harshadura | ||

| MistaMike | and you'll see the version. | 02:53 |
| leptone | thx | 02:53 |

| Echo_fox | before i run the startx command | 03:03 |
| Echo_fox | or i guess in otherwords, without a gui | 03:03 |
| nathan28 | Echo_fox: ctrl-alt-F[1..6] will put you back at a tty | 03:04 |
| nathan28 | a terminal multiplexer like tmux will let you attach a terminal emulator session to a tmux session so you can access that same session from a tty outside X | 03:04 |
| nathan28 | so, yes | 03:05 |

| Tex_Nick | i'm about to build a new pc for the grandkids (12.10 with Gnome Classic de) ... for their account i want to remove some items from the "Applications Menu" ... in particular "System Tools" & "Ubuntu Software Center", maybe some other items as well ... how do i go about that ? | 03:40 |
| gottwisst | hey, anyone know a fix for Microsoft Lifecam HD 3000 crashing the program when trying to records sound and video (more details available) | 03:40 |
| lalondong | I've try to instal Ubuntu 12.04 LTS . I'm currently running Windows. | 03:41 |
| gottwisst | Tex_Nick: I would think there would be a package you could uninstall using the command sudo apt-get remove | 03:42 |
| lalondong | i'm using EasePartition on Windows. I've made 1 unallocated space . but haven't made 1 more for swap. My question is how to make another one without making it join with the first unallocated... because everytime i tried to make one, it's joining with the other unallocated... | 03:43 |
| gottwisst | Tex_Nick check out this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133456/can-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-ubuntu-software-center | 03:43 |
| gottwisst | for software center | 03:43 |
| lalondong | Is it okey for me to Install Ubuntu on this unallocated space (around 15.50 gb) without making swap first.....? | 03:44 |
| gottwisst | Tex_Nick: What do you mean by system tools? Do you mean system settings? | 03:44 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: I belive it is okay | 03:45 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: I believe that the Ubuntu installation process automatically makes one | 03:46 |
| gottwisst | But I'll look it up just to be sure | 03:46 |
| Tex_Nick | gottwisst : hey thanks for the replys ... in "gnome Classic" under the "Applications Menu" the "System Tools" Item | 03:46 |
| gottwisst | Tex_Nick: The package name is "gnome-system-tools" | 03:47 |
| [Saint] | can someone enlighten me as to what the various Xauthority.****** files in ~ are? | 03:47 |

| gottwisst | lalondong: Read this about swap space: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 03:50 |
| Tex_Nick | gotwisst : yeah, that should work for "System Tools" ... i'm looking at Alacarte right now ... looks like that provides some decent menu editing ... hey thanks for the help ;-) | 03:50 |
| gottwisst | all good | 03:51 |
| tannji | [Saint], I think Xauthority has to do with lightdm and the unity desktop... something about the graphical environment or server | 03:51 |
| zeak | My readme says: "Starting from v1.11, KiGB is linked statically except the HawkNL library. | 03:51 |
| zeak | To set up HawkNL library, copy the file libNL.so.1.6.4 to /usr/local/lib. | 03:51 |
| zeak | Then, change directory to /usr/local/lib. Add a soft link: ln -s | 03:51 |
| zeak | libNL.so.1.6.4 NL.so.1.6. You have to be root to do this." | 03:51 |
| FloodBot1 | zeak: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:51 |
| [Saint] | tannji: not quite what I was looking for. I have ~/.Xauthority but I also have a dozen or so ~/.Xauthority.****** files | 03:52 |
| [Saint] | where * == a random char | 03:52 |
| tannji | [Saint], ah, ok... I ran itnot it trying to fix my unity after trying to install amd drivers | 03:52 |
| tannji | into* | 03:52 |
| zeak | I cp libNL.so.1.6.4 to /us/local/lib, then I don't understand what I'm supposed to do! | 03:52 |

| === Fast[BDC] is now known as pcdummy | ||
| [Saint] | The readme you pasted tells you exactly what you have to do. | 03:56 |
| zeak | Saint, English is not my mother language. I don't understand what is sayed by Then, change directory to /usr/local/lib | 03:57 |
| zeak | Change directory of what? | 03:57 |
| zeak | All the emulator? O_o | 03:57 |
| zeak | I know my question is quite simple but I simply not understand what I need to do | 03:58 |
| zeak | cp the libfile, and then? | 03:58 |
| lalondong | Another question of mine : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5697359/ | 03:58 |
| lalondong | Is it fine for me to install them like that? | 03:58 |
| [Saint] | do this "cd /usr/local/lib && sudo ln -s libNL.so.1.6.4 NL.so.1.6" | 03:59 |
| === Termana is now known as Guest3932 | ||
| lalondong | i Mean does Ubuntu search automatically for the bigger size that Ubuntu will be installed? or will try to install them on the unallocated space for swap? | 03:59 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest55961 | ||
| gottwisst | sorry, I don't know (because it's been a few months since I installed Ubuntu) | 04:00 |
| gottwisst | Try start the install process - there should be instructions of a sort within it | 04:01 |
| [Saint] | the readme is saying "change directory to /usr/local/lib" == "cd /usr/local/lib"; " Then, change directory to /usr/local/lib. Add a soft link: ln -s libNL.so.1.6.4 NL.so.1.6. You have to be root to do this." == "sudo ln -s libNL.so.1.6.4 NL.so.1.6" | 04:01 |
| zeak | Saint, always the same error when I try to run the exefile "./kigb: error while loading shared libraries: NL.so.1.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 04:01 |
| [Saint] | zeak: ^ | 04:01 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: see above | 04:01 |
| [Saint] | zeak: probably because you're not creating the symlink | 04:01 |
| zeak | Saint I'll juste done it | 04:02 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: see this page for info: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-desktop-latest | 04:03 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: I am pretty sure that that page has all the necessary information | 04:03 |
| bernstein | yeah... that particular page as been of no help to me, that's why I'm here tonight | 04:04 |
| gottwisst | what's up | 04:05 |
| bernstein | system will acknowledge that there are updates to be had but refuses to connect to server to get them. I've changed download servers 5 times already and it's the same thing every-time even if I just try to update the whole OS from 12.4 to the next available one | 04:05 |
| lalondong | Another question : I have to make it unallocated space right ? | 04:06 |
| lalondong | Or just ntfs but it's emtpy... i mean its free | 04:06 |
| gottwisst | lalondong: Unless you want to install over the top of something else | 04:06 |
| bernstein | I'm in Seattle WA USA, and the best download server is out in the Netherlands? something doesn't sound right | 04:07 |
| gottwisst | Yeah, flip, that sounds weird | 04:07 |
| cortexA9 | lol :P | 04:07 |
| gottwisst | I'm looking for info... | 04:08 |
| bernstein | been through 3 different walkthroughs from the official Ubuntu help site but nothing's worked | 04:08 |
| lalondong | so unallocated then? | 04:09 |
| ChogyDan | bernstein: just set it to the main us server | 04:10 |
| gottwisst | lalondong:Yes, that should be fine | 04:10 |
| lalondong | thanks | 04:11 |
| gottwisst | lalondong:I think the installation process will guide you to any necessary allocation work you'll need to do | 04:11 |
| bernstein | doing that now, will respond with results | 04:11 |

| lumpunto | hey there. I just tried puppy linux and the distro have dozens of very useful 'wizards' for pretty much everything. why we don't have some of those? :D | 04:17 |
| gottwisst | "wizards" being a written guide. or a real person? | 04:17 |
| lumpunto | gottwisst: is that spoused to be funny? | 04:18 |
| ChogyDan | metzy: did you enable the 3d graphics? | 04:19 |
| gottwisst | No - I just wasn't familiar with the terminology... Am looking it up now. | 04:19 |
| bernstein | ChogyDan, tried both US Server and Official Main server, no joy. This has been something that I noticed a while back but since it didn't affect my typical use I wasn't concerned but for the last 3 weeks I haven't been able to use torrents, some connection error. I've been looking at different distros to use on a flash drive on the old school computers I have access to on campus that just don't have the right software for me. | 04:19 |
| zeak | my emulator run the game at 200% speed. Anyone have an idea for run it slowest? | 04:20 |
| ChogyDan | bernstein: maybe if you try updating from the terminal, you can get some useful error messages | 04:20 |
| lumpunto | i'm just saying that ubuntu just assumes everything works, but when they doesn't work it's a nightmare and sometimes just a matter of configuring the thing correctly, what in this case have to be done manually (in command line in some cases), we could just have some 'wizards' like puppy linux to hold our hands through these painful stuff :D | 04:20 |
| metzy | ChogyDan: I had it enabled to start with but turned it off | 04:20 |
| bernstein | ChogyDan, that was proposed in one of the help pages I browsed, didn't work either | 04:21 |
| ChogyDan | metzy: it isn't well supported: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-3d | 04:21 |
| ChogyDan | bernstein: how didn't it work? please provide details, ie, pastebin the output | 04:21 |
| gottwisst | lumpunto: To be honest, you'd have to ask someone who actually had a say in the matter | 04:22 |
| lumpunto | gottwisst: anyway, it's not important... | 04:23 |
| bernstein | ChogyDan, OK can you walk me through the process or do you just want my to copy/paste the error message? BTW I appreciate you wanting to help, it's nice, thanks | 04:23 |

| wilee-nilee | bernstein, You have maverick repos showing gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list will open the file comment them out with a # in front of them. | 04:34 |
| Ari-Yang | any suggestions with my bluetooth trouble? | 04:34 |
| ChogyDan | bernstein: or do what wilee-nilee is suggesting. That will work too | 04:34 |

| neostream | Hi | 04:36 |
| gottwisst | Ari-Yang: What do you mean by "I can't turn on the visibility"? | 04:36 |
| Ari-Yang | exactly what I said. I can turn it on, but the 'Visibility' switch can't be turned on | 04:36 |
| neostream | ubuntu 13.04 beta 2 so slow in virtualbox, how fix this problem | 04:36 |
| wilee-nilee | neostream, The raring channel is #ubuntu+1 | 04:37 |
| Ari-Yang | @ gottwisst http://gyazo.com/34a7fc534b73acf30a9beb317b238d07 take a look | 04:37 |
| Ari-Yang | (screen shot) | 04:37 |
| gottwisst | Do you actually need to turn on the visibility for the device you are using? | 04:38 |
| Ari-Yang | I want to search for the computer on a device I have and register it. but in order to do that the computer has to be set to visible ofc | 04:38 |
| Ari-Yang | I never really had this problem with using the built in kernel wifi module... I switched to the proprietary wifi driver... | 04:39 |
| AppFirstSamurai | neostream: I experienced the same with 12.04, however, I don't experience it with any version of Debian, which seems weird to me. | 04:40 |
| gottwisst | Was there any particular reason you switched? I mean, have you tried the kernel wifi module again to see if it works again? | 04:40 |
| Ari-Yang | the reason why I switched is because the wifi on the computer stopped randomly working, so I gave the proprietary driver a go and so far I haven't encountered that problem... | 04:41 |
| gottwisst | Dang. Well, since you had the problem with one driver and not the other, I'd assume it was a driver-specific issue... And I definitely can't help you fix a proprietary driver (I'm not even a programmer) | 04:43 |
| gottwisst | I had a similar issue with my wifi on my Windows partition, btw | 04:43 |
| gottwisst | I sometimes had to physically disconnect the wifi device an then plug it pack it | 04:43 |

| Ben64 | bernstein: have you upgraded since 10.10? | 04:53 |
| bernstein | ChogyDan, as in replace any line that contains "Maverik" with # or do you mean something else? | 04:54 |

| wilee-nilee | pLam1, ##windows I believe you have to be registered though. | 05:10 |
| pLam1 | thank you, I'll try there :) | 05:11 |
| BlackWeb | ya, Mainly just disable rm if the command is coming from a terminal on local machine | 05:11 |
| BlackWeb | that isnt on local machine | 05:11 |
| BlackWeb | So that a user can rm if he's using a shell on local machine but not if its coming from internet? Or just disable the command altogether | 05:12 |
| BlackWeb | Even if the user owns the file he cant rm it if its coming from internet | 05:12 |

| DIFTOW | I'm an Ubuntu user on my modern desktop, but I recently started messing with other distros, less popular ones for the sake of getting life out of old machines and turning them into useful servers | 05:53 |
| DIFTOW | So I've been messing with TinyCore. It's pretty Tiny indeed. | 05:54 |
| DIFTOW | So is its support :3 | 05:54 |
| DEA | Hello I'm trying to figure out if my AMD Radeon HD 6520G is supported with Ubuntu | 05:54 |
| DEA | If not, which distro would best suit my AMD based cpu/gfx | 05:55 |
| === Limratana is now known as Bumptious | ||
| DIFTOW | I've managed to sort all of the TinyCore exclusive things outs myself, but I'm having an issue with I've had even with Ubuntu and never could resolve fully. Custom resolutions. This involves Xvesa by default in TinyCore, but you can install Xorg, and then its a Xorg issue. I've got no Widescreen resolutions, just 4:3. | 05:57 |
| wilee-nilee | DEA, I think your fine in ubuntu boot a live cd and see. | 05:58 |
| DEA | is there like an AMD catalyst driver for ubuntu? | 05:59 |

| DEA | I have a quad-core processor @ ~1.4ghz and 6GB ram / radeon hd | 06:00 |
| DEA | and i can't even rotate cube in compiz, it's very choppy | 06:00 |
| DEA | that sounds like it's due to driver problems right? | 06:01 |
| wilee-nilee | DEA, Wubi is that way, it is just a file in windows. | 06:01 |
| DIFTOW | @metzy - Thunderbird is good. | 06:01 |
| DIFTOW | Its all I use, even on Windows. | 06:01 |

| DIFTOW | I've never used Wubi, what is the difference Dea? | 06:03 |
| DEA | not sure, was hoping you'd enlighten me | 06:03 |
| DIFTOW | I know in the past, ATI had the better support with Linux than Nvidia. | 06:04 |
| Ben64 | wubi shouldn't be used as an install for a long time, its more for testing | 06:04 |
| Ben64 | DIFTOW: thats all kinds of untrue | 06:04 |
| wilee-nilee | DEA, Not sure really, if you mean your experience in a wubi, I just looked up your info on th web and saw people running it, graphics are not an area I have not had to mess with. | 06:04 |

| DEA | running ubuntu with my specs? | 06:05 |
| wilee-nilee | DEA, No I have an older toshiba that works out out of the box, all my laptops have. | 06:05 |

| wilee-nilee | you can load a usb rather then a dvd now I believe, as the ISO is to big barely for a cd. | 06:06 |
| DEA | 64-bit or 32 | 06:06 |
| DEA | which do you reccomend | 06:06 |
| DEA | 6Gb cam quadcore 1.4 | 06:06 |
| DIFTOW | How much ram do you have? | 06:06 |
| DEA | ram* | 06:06 |
| Ben64 | DEA: if you have a 64bit cpu, go with 64bit | 06:06 |
| wilee-nilee | DEA, I run 64 bit. | 06:06 |
| DEA | i know but you'd be surprised | 06:07 |
| DEA | how many people still run 32 with 64 cpu | 06:07 |
| DIFTOW | 64 bit increases Ram usage, so only do it if you have over 4 GB of ram | 06:07 |
| Ben64 | DEA: oh i know | 06:07 |
| wilee-nilee | the pae kernels will run higher then 4 gigs in a 32 bit. | 06:07 |
| Ben64 | theres really no good reason not to do 64bit if you can | 06:07 |
| DIFTOW | well | 06:07 |
| DIFTOW | when you only have 1 GB of DDR DIMM on your moms computer | 06:08 |
| DIFTOW | thats a reason to stick with 32 bit lol | 06:08 |
| DEA | i see haha | 06:08 |

| Morpheaus | Syria, then your on your own (or check out the Adobe site on how to install it) - there may also be links on google if you tupe in "flash ubuntu <yourversion>" | 06:39 |
| kewel | syria: whats the name of the tar.gz file? | 06:39 |
| Syria | kewel: install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz | 06:40 |
| Syria | Morpheaus: ;) | 06:40 |
| Morpheaus | Syria, I've always used the repositories - wish I could help | 06:40 |
| stunts513 | syria, just curious, why are you installing from teh tar.gz file? | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | Syria: the one from the software center is the same version as you would get from adobe, just you get automatic updates | 06:40 |
| Syria | I want to learn how to compile packages and apps without using deb files or the software center. | 06:41 |
| kewel | syria: gimme a sec .. I did this a few weeks back .. | 06:41 |
| Morpheaus | Syria, I'd always use a package from the ubuntu repository instead of trying to install - the only exception to that is drivers for me.. | 06:41 |
| Syria | kewel: Thnx, I am here. | 06:42 |
| Morpheaus | Syria, ohhh - totally different :) | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | Syria: you don't compile flash | 06:42 |
| stunts513 | ah thats always a fun reason, in my experience though i only did that on my ipod... | 06:42 |
| maven | Syria, if you try to install the flash plugin for firefox. Then extract the tar.gz file. Then copy the libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 06:42 |
| Morpheaus | as Ben64 stated - usually you compile something else instead of flash... | 06:42 |
| isuru | to compile a package you should unzip it | 06:43 |
| Syria | maven: Is google chrome going to use it as well? | 06:43 |
| Morpheaus | lol | 06:43 |
| kewel | syria: what broswer? | 06:43 |
| isuru | and then cd to your unzip package folder | 06:43 |
| maven | Syria, I am not sure you can have a try. But I am sure it will work in firefox since I install it 1m ago. | 06:43 |
| Ben64 | Syria: chrome uses it's own version of flash, it is built in | 06:44 |
| isuru | then type .config | 06:44 |
| Syria | kewel: Actually most of the times I use firefox but sometimes I use google chrome. | 06:44 |
| maven | Ben64, I read the README file under /etc/init.d. But I can not find anything wrong in the script. Did I miss anything? | 06:44 |
| isuru | But chrome flash plugin to support for other browsers :( | 06:44 |
| Syria | Ben64: Yeah that's right. | 06:44 |
| izx | How to install tomboy notes in ubuntu 12.10?? | 06:44 |
| kewel | syria: here's what I've got .. get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ .. should autodetech browser .. it wants to give you the newest version .. is that okay? | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | maven: then you didn't read it fully... | 06:46 |
| maven | :0( | 06:46 |
| Syria | kewel: Yes I already have downloaded the latest version. | 06:46 |
| Morpheaus | Init.d editing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 06:48 |
| Syria | kewel: It works, I had to copy the extracted content to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins :) thnx | 06:49 |
| Syria | maven: Thank you it worked. | 06:49 |

| isuru | yes i want to start it like terminal | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | !text | isuru | 06:51 |
| ubottu | isuru: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 06:51 |

| maven | It seems that add a script to etc/init.d is not as simple as I thought. Then I wonder if there is an alternative to run some command on startup? | 06:52 |
| isuru | but i need permenent solution | 06:52 |
| Morpheaus | maven, put the command in rc.local | 06:52 |
| Ben64 | !startup | maven | 06:52 |

| Morpheaus | maven, more specifically - /etc/rc.local - if it's something that you want to start on boot | 06:53 |
| Ben64 | isuru: you can add it to the default grub stuff | 06:53 |

| MrGizmo757 | dose anyone here know about dual booting? | 06:56 |
| madprops | it's a waste of time | 06:57 |
| Ben64 | !anyone | MrGizmo757 | 06:57 |
| ubottu | MrGizmo757: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 06:57 |
| dodo3773 | MrGizmo757: Sure. Need more specifics | 06:57 |
| MrGizmo757 | Well i am trying to dual boot ubuntu and windows 7. my issue is i dont want Grub on the MBR becuase i have a hidden OEM recovery partition that wont work if the MBR is changed. | 06:58 |
| MrGizmo757 | i want to dual boot but i want the windows boot manager to be the first boot device. not grub. how do i do that? | 06:58 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| Ben64 | pretty sure grub will boot from the recovery partition | 06:59 |
| dodo3773 | MrGizmo757: The option for recovery isn't from post? | 06:59 |
| MrGizmo757 | Yes but with the MBR changed the recovery partition cant locate Windows. so if i change the MBR my recovery drive breaks. | 07:00 |
| Ben64 | how do you know | 07:00 |
| izx | How to install tomboy notes in ubuntu 12.10?? | 07:00 |
| MrGizmo757 | i know becuase i alredy had this issue. | 07:00 |
| dodo3773 | How did you fix it before? | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | izx: sudo apt-get install tomboy :| | 07:01 |
| MrGizmo757 | i reinstalled everything form the factory recovery disk that i made. but that takes about 4 hours. id rather not do that again | 07:01 |
| dodo3773 | Ah I see | 07:01 |
| wilee-nilee | MrGizmo757, You are best having an image off the drive in the long run in a external. | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | could back up the mbr, also... recovery is always slow | 07:02 |
| dodo3773 | MrGizmo757: Maybe you're looking for something like this?? --> http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ | 07:03 |

| santosh | How to install the latest version of Python (3.3.1) on an older version of Ubuntu (which has just 3.2.2 in its repo)? | 07:04 |
| MrGizmo757 | Well if i install ubuntu first. then windows 2nd then the windows boot loader handles the booting. but if i do it that way. i have no working recovery partition. | 07:05 |
| dodo3773 | Isn't there an alternate install disk that doesn't automatically install a bootloader? | 07:06 |
| Ben64 | you never have to install grub | 07:06 |
| MrGizmo757 | i was thinking i alredy have windows installed. if i install ubunu to the second partition and put grub in the home partition insted of the MBR. then all i have to do is add the entry to the windows boot loader. and that's the part where i get lost. | 07:06 |
| dodo3773 | santosh: 3rd party ppa or build it yourself from source. or grab the .deb from a newer ubuntu version repo and hack it apart | 07:06 |
| chix | how to compile a C code with ubuntu | 07:07 |

| blahblah12345 | hello | 07:08 |
| iceroot | santosh: have a look at "backports if that version is available" | 07:08 |
| iceroot | !backports | santosh | 07:08 |
| ubottu | santosh: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 07:08 |
| MrGizmo757 | Ok. but the entry still needs to be added to the windows boot loader or i wont have a boot option to choose from after post. atleast that's the way i understand it. | 07:08 |
| chix | same on backtrack since its a ubuntu based distribution? | 07:08 |
| iceroot | MrGizmo757: the windows bootloader will not have an ubuntu entry | 07:09 |
| iceroot | MrGizmo757: grub will have a windows and an ubuntu entry, so you have to start grub | 07:09 |
| leptone | does anyone know how i publish my public key through Thunderbird/Enigma? | 07:09 |
| iceroot | chix: not supported here | 07:09 |
| chix | ok | 07:09 |
| MrGizmo757 | Not by default no. but you can add an ubuntu entry to windows. it happens when you use WuBi | 07:09 |
| iceroot | MrGizmo757: ah ok | 07:10 |
| MrGizmo757 | so if WuBi dose it. i should be able to do it manually somhow. i just have no clue how | 07:10 |
| iceroot | leptone: the keymanager from thunderbird should have an entry to publish the key | 07:10 |
| blahblah12345 | will wubi make windows slower than before? | 07:10 |
| iceroot | blahblah12345: no | 07:10 |
| blahblah12345 | iceroot: gotcha | 07:10 |
| dodo3773 | blahblah12345: Are you almost completely out of room on your windows partition? That's one thing I can think of I guess | 07:11 |
| leptone | iceroot, cool thx. btw it shows that i have 3 keys...? do i need to upload them all? | 07:11 |

| iceroot | leptone: only!! publish the pubkey | 07:12 |
| dodo3773 | blahblah12345: I am just pointing out a scenario in which installing additional software could possibly slow down your system. | 07:13 |
| iceroot | leptone: the other is a private key and the 3. thing should be the revoke file | 07:13 |
| leptone | how do i know which is whic? | 07:13 |
| leptone | *which | 07:13 |
| blahblah12345 | right. maybe I will choose using grub but not wubi to install ubuntu | 07:13 |
| kewel | syria: screw that. skip that step. I tihnk you know where you're at!!! | 07:13 |
| iceroot | leptone: thunderbird knows it and will only publish the pupkey | 07:13 |
| === ryan is now known as Guest87437 | ||
| dodo3773 | blahblah12345: Be better anyways. | 07:14 |
| iceroot | leptone: enigmail has its own key-manager which will handle the publish | 07:14 |
| wilee-nilee | blahblah12345, wubi is not supported in the next release as well, it is gone. | 07:14 |
| leptone | iceroot, ahh so i dont need to select any of them. just right click anyway ans select upload to server? | 07:14 |
| iceroot | wilee-nilee: 13.04 will not have wubi anymore? | 07:14 |
| iceroot | leptone: dont know the exact usage anymore | 07:15 |
| blahblah12345 | wilee-nilee: really? 13 will not have wubi? | 07:15 |
| iceroot | blahblah12345: wilee-nilee i checked the changelogs, yes wubi will be removed | 07:15 |
| leptone | iceroot, im just worried im gonna upload the wrong one... | 07:15 |
| iceroot | leptone: right click the entry in the enigmal keytool and say "upload to keyserver" | 07:16 |
| blahblah12345 | iceroot: thanks for the imfomation. | 07:16 |
| iceroot | leptone: that will upload the pupkey | 07:16 |
| leptone | the entry? | 07:17 |

| iceroot | santosh: will it have another name? is it shown in ifconfig -a? | 07:21 |
| leptone | iceroot, yes. what i am saying is it see that. my email address appears three times... | 07:22 |
| iceroot | leptone: then check the properties of the keys "right click" to see the date of creation | 07:22 |
| leptone | with 3 differnet keys | 07:22 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Start by identifying your problems specifically and looking around for bugs in your driver module and then possibly your init system. That's where I would start personally | 07:22 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Also look in dmesg. It may reveal some information about what's going on | 07:23 |
| leptone | ok thx | 07:24 |
| leptone | i figured it out iceroot | 07:24 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Also any recent updates | 07:24 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, dmseg only states that the link went down. And drivers i suspected as well, looking for some others. | 07:24 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, Freshly installed server | 07:24 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: does it start at eth0 then go to eth2? | 07:26 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, 0-3 =) | 07:26 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: hmm. Did you change your hostname and reboot since it changed | 07:26 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, Where eth0 and 1 have aliasses, and are bonded (bond0 and bond1) | 07:26 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, IT had it from the start | 07:26 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Maybe it's module specific? | 07:27 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, eth4 (when we configure it) shows the same issue... | 07:28 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Hmm. So have you installed new cards since this issue arrised? | 07:28 |
| blahblah12345 | which http server is best for low performace computer hosting just a simple php froum and SQL server ? | 07:28 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, ethtool -r eth2 does fix the issue temporarely, but i don't want the server in production when its showing this kind of behaviour | 07:28 |
| blahblah12345 | I go search on google find two apache and lamp? | 07:28 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, Its a newly bought server, i didn't change anything in it | 07:29 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: Yeah I don't blame you. What module is it? | 07:29 |
| kohvihoor | blahblah12345: apache, nginx, lighttpd | 07:29 |
| Siebjee | dodo3773, Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection | 07:29 |
| Siebjee | according to lspci | 07:29 |
| blahblah12345 | kohvihoor: lighttpd can host php? | 07:30 |
| kohvihoor | http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/TutorialLighttpdAndPHP | 07:30 |

| blahblah12345 | kohvihoor: okay I go check it out | 07:30 |
| dodo3773 | Siebjee: lspci -k <-- tells you kernel module. Anyways I had a recent problem like this and my issue was related to tx. The solution for me was --> ethtool -K eth0 rx off But mine is jme so I doubt it's the same | 07:32 |
| kohvihoor | blahblah12345: the tutorial i linked seems to be out of date, so just google around for lighttpd php5 fastcgi or something :) | 07:32 |

| compi | hi. I am running ubuntu 12.04. I installed a PCI dual serial port. how do I check if it is working? | 08:26 |
| maitrey | Hi, I want to know why would all at once linuxmint 13 ask for permissions from all the usb devices and once i open as administrator it takes 20minutes to copy 20mb on it. Please help me on that. It makes me really crazy and i dont want to go away from mint cause its really no.1 distro. | 08:28 |

| ubottu | maitrey,: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 08:28 |

| illgoinsilence | hey guys im running Ubuntu 12.10. after install my mouse doesn't work. where is the problem? | 08:31 |
| MestreLion | is there a way for changes in ~/.profile to be effective for the whole desktop environment without logging out and back in? | 08:33 |
| pratz | I would like to make a video tutorial, which is the recommended application to use ? | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, openshot is sweet | 08:34 |
| MestreLion | I need a way to "re-source" it in current desktop environment | 08:34 |
| MestreLion | pratz: recordmydesktop-gtk is also nice | 08:34 |
| pratz | cfhowlett: will it capture the video as I am doing some activities with music in background ? | 08:35 |
| gottwisst | illgoinsilence possibly a driver issue | 08:35 |
| MestreLion | pratz: yes, it can capture environment sound | 08:35 |
| pratz | Messenger_bird: I would like some music playing in background | 08:35 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, misunderstood. openshot is for editing videos. mestrelion made an excellent suggestion ... recordmydesktop is very good | 08:35 |
| MestreLion | or you can add music latter, much easier | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, add a music track via openshot | 08:36 |
| gottwisst | illgoinsilene what model is it | 08:36 |
| gottwisst | illgoinsilence: see above | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, see youtube "will it work with linux" for an example of a video I did with openshot, music, titles, effects, etc | 08:36 |
| MestreLion | so, any clues about changing environment for the current desktop session? | 08:36 |

| MestreLion | cfhowlett: the only way I know too, but there has to be a way | 08:38 |
| gottwisst | Umm. btw, I was just trying to use Openshot, and it did not appear to have an export feature | 08:38 |
| compinz | Hi guys, I installed a PCI dual serial port in my linux 12.04 pc. How do I check if it is setup and ready to be used? | 08:38 |
| gottwisst | which I desperately wanted | 08:38 |
| gottwisst | any suggestions? | 08:38 |
| lesshaste | oh | 08:38 |
| lesshaste | I see the problem | 08:38 |
| cfhowlett | MestreLion, buried far, far in the literature, but I agree there is most likely a method | 08:38 |
| lesshaste | oops | 08:38 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, export to what? | 08:38 |
| gottwisst | like, mp4 would be nice | 08:39 |
| gottwisst | I can currently only export to xml, as far as I can see | 08:39 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, what? of course it can export ... | 08:39 |
| gottwisst | Can I put up a screenshot? | 08:39 |
| pratz | cfhowlett: looks good | 08:39 |
| MonkeyDust | gottwisst ctrl E | 08:40 |
| MonkeyDust | gottwisst File > Export Video | 08:40 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, in Openshot, hit the big red button, select your options and go to town. Lots of choices ... | 08:40 |
| MestreLion | gottwisst: I suggest mkv instead of mp4, for numerous reasons | 08:40 |
| gottwisst | I don't actualyl have that button | 08:41 |
| pratz | cfhowlett: MestreLion thanks guys | 08:41 |
| gottwisst | and for some reason, my prt screen button isn't working | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, use File>export | 08:41 |
| cfhowlett | pratz, have fun, be safe | 08:41 |
| gottwisst | I don't have that button | 08:41 |
| MestreLion | gottwisst: mp4 only plays well with h264 video, and that is a non-free format. It also does not support soft subtitles | 08:41 |
| maven | Can I update the sources when I am installing a package using the apt-get? | 08:41 |
| gottwisst | but I do have three add buttons that look exactly the same | 08:42 |

| fisher | hello good people. Could someone help me fidure out why my microphone isn't working? I am trying to record using Audacity but when i record nothing is picked up. | 08:42 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, lemme guess, you're in unity, right? | 08:42 |
| gottwisst | yes | 08:43 |
| MonkeyDust | gottwisst delete everything Openshot and reinstall properly | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | fisher, you have to use the audacity settings to select mic as input | 08:43 |
| gottwisst | does via the software centre count for properly? | 08:43 |

| cfhowlett | gottwisst, yes. are you in unity? | 08:43 |
| gottwisst | yes | 08:44 |
| MestreLion | fisher: have you tried the sound applet in the top panel? check input tab,,, maybe the rear mic is selected and you're using the front, or vice-versa | 08:44 |
| === stephan_ is now known as stephanmg | ||
| MonkeyDust | I'm in Unity ans Openshot opens and works as it should | 08:44 |
| fisher | cfhowlett, Right. i did that. I am using JACK and under Microphone I chose "system" which is the only option. The system default is set to my sound card input jack where my mic is connected | 08:44 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, logout. select the alternate desktop environment. login | 08:44 |
| gottwisst | by delte everthing Oppenshot, I assume you also mean those files left behind in the home folder after unisntall too? | 08:44 |
| gottwisst | hokay | 08:44 |
| MonkeyDust | gottwisst yes, in .config or so, but backup files first, never know | 08:45 |
| fisher | MestreLion, Yeah I did. I have it set to the correct port and card under the audio settings | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | http://imagebin.org/253585 | 08:46 |
| MestreLion | fisher: and does the meter moves when you talk in the sound settings? | 08:46 |
| cfhowlett | openshot with big red Export button as per Xubuntu/UbuntuStudio | 08:46 |
| gottwisst | hokay | 08:46 |
| gottwisst | well | 08:46 |
| gottwisst | it does have an export button in gnome 3 | 08:46 |
| fisher | MestreLion, No, there isn't even a meter to move. I am however certain my mic is plugged in the port I chose in the audio settings dialog | 08:47 |
| gottwisst | If I reinstall it, is it likely to fix the problem in Unity, or will that persist? | 08:47 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, if you're doing a lot of multimedia, may I suggest you look at Ubuntu | 08:47 |
| cfhowlett | Studio | 08:47 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, probably will change nothing. Unity just might not play nice with it. Don't ask me why ... | 08:48 |
| dj | can someone help me with my screen shot, and tell me why my gnome looks so crappy? http://s7.postimg.org/3xodqrzuj/Untitled.png | 08:48 |
| gottwisst | I notice that the Unity of Ubuntu 12.10 also does not work well another program I have (supposed to be a full screen game, but cannot go full screen) | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | fisher: humm... there *is* a meter in the input tab of sound settings... | 08:49 |
| somsip | dj: have you changed a background color of the panels? Looks like the widgets/menus are okay but the panels are transparent | 08:49 |
| MestreLion | fisher: called "input level", right below the volume slider | 08:49 |
| dj | somsip, yeah i try changing the wall but no luck... | 08:49 |
| fisher | MestreLion, Well, there SHOULD be but there isn't. I thought it was weird too. | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, on the other hand, be sure that your video display settings are at native resolution. failure to do so could also cause display effects | 08:50 |
| somsip | dj: what gnome/ubuntu you using. I don't use gnome so can't help more, but it will help someone else maybe | 08:50 |
| === hiddenbit is now known as hiddenbitious | ||
| gottwisst | They are at that native resolution | 08:50 |
| fisher | MestreLion, On my built-in sound card there is and when I connect to it it moves BUT I still get no recording. | 08:50 |
| fisher | Itsa weird | 08:51 |
| gottwisst | it's not that the game (lugaru in question) is not full resolution - rather it simply won't go full screen | 08:51 |
| MestreLion | fisher: have you tried using the "sound recorder" app that ships with ubuntu? just as a check. and do so while selecting the input that does have a meter that moves | 08:51 |
| gottwisst | that is, you can still see the launcher, bar, etc. | 08:51 |
| gottwisst | and pressing f11 does nothing | 08:52 |
| fisher | MestreLion, No, Not yet but will try it now. | 08:52 |
| fisher | It's probably worth noting I am using UbuntuStudio 12.10 | 08:53 |
| cfhowlett | fisher, also query #ubuntustudio for help | 08:53 |
| fisher | cfhowlett, I'll be dingdanged..lol I didn't know there was such a channel. Thanks | 08:54 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 08:54 |
| gottwisst | I can't find Ubuntu Studio in the software center | 08:54 |
| gottwisst | I find that ironic | 08:55 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, UStudio is a distro not an app | 08:55 |
| gottwisst | ey | 08:55 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, it's an official ubuntu distro www.ubuntustudio.org | 08:55 |
| gottwisst | is there any particular advantage using it over canonical ubuntu? | 08:57 |
| cfhowlett | gottwisst, it IS canonical ubuntustudio. advantage is the pre-assembled collection of media creation tools and the low latency kernel if you're a music producer ... | 08:57 |
| fisher | MestreLion, I get no recording in the sound recorder. i tried multiple times and in multiple formats. I also saved the files and tried playing them back and got nothing. | 08:58 |

| fisher | MestreLion, When I connect through the built-in sound card? Yes the meter movves but still no recording. When i connect through my Asus Xonar there is no meter and also no recording. | 09:01 |
| MestreLion | fisher: then I have no idea... UbuntuStio certainly handles things like audio setup differently (as expected) | 09:04 |
| fisher | MestreLion, Well, yes but it is constantly moving and when I speak the movement of the meter matches when I speak | 09:04 |
| maven | My source list: http://snag.gy/LKHYG.jpg And the result after `apt-get update` : http://snag.gy/EIHbW.jpg . What is the problem? | 09:05 |
| fisher | MestreLion, Well thanks for trying. I will ask in #ubuntustudio and see it they can help me figure it out | 09:05 |
| MestreLion | fisher: if the meter moves when you speak, then Sound Recorder app, which is the simplest on earth, should be able to record | 09:06 |

| MonkeyDust | rDragon you changed things using the live cd, and now you want the same in the intallation? | 09:50 |
| Ceric | Yes, if you can't see your desktop it's because your resolution is messed up. So re-installing the driver is the next logical step | 09:50 |

| Robr3rd | I am trying to get my USB Wi-Fi adapter (Netgear WNDA3100) to work in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have installed ndiswrapper along with its dependencies, and have set up the driver for it as well. My system recognizes that the card is there and it lists all available connections even, however when I try to connect it simply enters an infinite loop of trying to connect but not succeeding. Any advice? | 10:02 |
| Ceric | Robrerd. email ayourk@gmail.com explaining your problem. He will give you a step by step how to. He fixed my problem with the usb wi-fi. Had something to do with firewall and tables. | 10:04 |

| sunuslee | how can i make a package from apt-get source ? | 10:57 |
| jrib | !source | sunuslee | 10:57 |
| ubottu | sunuslee: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 10:57 |
| sunuslee | let's say wget, i first apt-get soruce wget —download-only | 10:57 |
| histo | schmidtm: James_m in chromium you can install the pdf plugin from chrome | 10:57 |
| sunuslee | i get the source, how to make package? | 10:57 |
| jrib | sunuslee: read what ubottu told you. But why do you want to do that? Why don't you just install it? | 10:58 |
| histo | sunuslee: use checkinstall to create a deb instead of the install command building from source | 10:58 |
| histo | sunuslee: are you modifying the source? | 10:58 |
| sunuslee | histo: yeah, that's what i intented to do | 10:58 |
| histo | sunuslee: well modify your source then build it and use checkinstall to create your own deb for easy removal later | 10:59 |
| James_m | Is there a command which would allow me to see what is being written to/ read from the disk? | 10:59 |
| sunuslee | histo: but i don't know how to build back to a .deb :< | 10:59 |
| jrib | sunuslee: I suggest building the package properly (just make sure you increment the version and append some private suffix (like ~sunuslee1 or something), checkinstall will ignore metadata provided by the source package afaik | 11:00 |
| shcherbak | James_m: iotop for activity, inotify more precise | 11:00 |
| histo | jrib: you have to specify the version with checkinstall | 11:00 |
| jrib | sunuslee: for the third time, ubottu's link tells you how to build a package from the source package | 11:00 |
| jrib | histo: checkinstall will create a package with proper dependencies and care about debian/? | 11:01 |
| sunuslee | i am reading it right now | 11:01 |
| sunuslee | i was using dpkg-buildpackage back then , and it went failure | 11:02 |
| histo | jrib: you can specify all that | 11:02 |
| James_m | inotify? What is the package which that command is included in? | 11:02 |
| histo | sunuslee: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/using-checkinstall-build-packages-source | 11:02 |
| sunuslee | thank you all! it now is still building! | 11:03 |
| jrib | histo: right, but that's already provided... | 11:03 |

| gustav | bazhang: Somehow I'm running 3.7 and I think it's the reason for my fans running all the time. | 11:46 |
| bazhang | gustav, is this 12.10 | 11:47 |
| gustav | bazhang: Yes. | 11:47 |
| dodi | how do I configure the boot manager? | 11:47 |
| bazhang | gustav, so you dont mean pin. you mean downgrade to a lesser kernel | 11:47 |
| poisoned_dragon | how did you inadvertently install a 3.7 kernel on ubuntu 12.10? | 11:47 |
| gustav | bazhang: Yeah. | 11:47 |
| poisoned_dragon | Doesn't 12.10 use 3.5? | 11:47 |
| gustav | poisoned_dragon: nVidia drivers. | 11:48 |

| arkie | does anyone know if this problem still exists on ubuntu? http://www.grimsby.us/?p=70 | 11:48 |
| bazhang | gustav, 12.10 is 3.5 | 11:48 |
| arkie | im currently installing it now on my asus ul30vt | 11:48 |
| arkie | i fear i wont be able to switch graphics | 11:48 |
| gustav | bazhang: I see. Well, I'm not running a standard distribution then? | 11:48 |
| bazhang | gustav, where'd you get the 3.7 | 11:48 |
| MonkeyDust | arkie try and report, for other users and future reference | 11:49 |
| MonkeyDust | try it* | 11:49 |
| arkie | if not do you think that fix will still work? | 11:49 |
| arkie | i hope it does.. | 11:49 |
| gustav | bazhang: You know how to check? | 11:49 |
| dodi | after installing Ubuntu I cannot boot my other systems any more :-( | 11:49 |
| arkie | also, what do you guys think is the better browser for ubuntu? chrome or FF? | 11:49 |
| gustav | bazhang: It's linux-image-3.7.0-7-generic. | 11:49 |
| bazhang | gustav, your current kernel? or how you got it | 11:49 |

| gustav | bazhang: What repo it's from. | 11:50 |
| bazhang | gustav, sounds like a PPA | 11:50 |
| gustav | bazhang: That's what I'm thinking. | 11:50 |

| poisoned_dragon | Well, if you haven't deleted the old 3.5 kernel, you can boot to it from grub and remove 3.7 | 11:51 |
| gustav | bazhang: Is there no tool to search. Must be millions of packages. o_o | 11:51 |
| bazhang | gustav, you have that many PPA? | 11:51 |
| gustav | bazhang: No. I mean what they contain. | 11:51 |

| smigo | GRUB is over-engineered | 11:54 |
| gustav | How can you say that? It doesn't even run Firefox! | 11:54 |
| smigo | :D | 11:55 |
| poisoned_dragon | lol... GRUB is your boot loader. | 11:55 |
| cfhowlett | gustav, grub is a bootloader... of course it doesn't run firefox | 11:55 |
| poisoned_dragon | it's never meant to load firefox. teehee | 11:55 |
| gustav | Don't take me seriously please. | 11:55 |

| joakimw | Hey guys. I know this might not be the right forum, but its my best bet right now. Is there anyone here who's been toying with raspberry pi's and LXDE? I want to know if its possible in the autostart config to not only open programs, but also to close them again? Since I want to get rid of chromium crash warnings, an easy workaround is to close it and open again. Is it possible to do that with LXDE autostart? | 12:10 |
| gustav | Ooowee. | 12:10 |
| gustav | joakimw: Well, I don't know what that is. | 12:11 |

| CiSense | Hi ... sucessfuly installed 12.10 64bit with wubi, after installing the ATI driver, it wont start the desktop, how can I fix it? | 12:12 |
| TheHackOps | CiSense, Any errors | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | joakim_, pretty sure raspberry has its own irc ... | 12:12 |
| joakimw | gustav: its just a lightweight desktop, that has an autostart configuration with the pretty simple annotation that goes like @program name to start a program. But i'd like to close one | 12:12 |
| gustav | joakimw: Uhm. It's a WM? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, wubi is being dropped ... for good reason. consider dual booting or virtualbox as workable and working options. | 12:13 |
| joakimw | gustav: nono, its instead of ubuntu, but this channel was my best bet | 12:13 |
| gustav | joakimw: Not sure what the problem is. | 12:14 |
| CiSense | cfhowlett, that's a shame I like the idea of not touching windows | 12:14 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, precisely why virtualbox is worth looking at. try it | 12:15 |
| marahin | rotflnah | 12:15 |
| marahin | virtual box sucsk balls | 12:15 |
| marahin | try XEN virtualizaiton :) | 12:15 |
| marahin | pretty simple to set up, and very (very!) comfortable to use. | 12:16 |
| CiSense | cfhowlett, I have an empty partition can i install 12.10 there and leave XP alone? | 12:16 |
| marahin | it also supports pci passthrough. ;) | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, as it next to what you've already got? if it's an extended partition, sure. MBR has a limit of 4 logical parts ... | 12:17 |
| llutz | cfhowlett:4 primary, not logical | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | llutz, grr. right. I keep inverting terms. thanks. cisense, take note | 12:18 |
| CiSense | cfhowlett, it's 2TB drive divided into 8 parts | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, so I'm guessing NOT mbr partitioned ... gpt? | 12:18 |
| CiSense | cfhowlett, dunno, i createdthe partitons during XP install with the standard tool | 12:19 |
| CiSense | how can I tell? | 12:19 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, so long since I did this ... | 12:20 |
| CiSense | tell me about it :) | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, I think it displays if you select hdd through the windows manager and display properties | 12:20 |
| llutz | if it is Xp its most likely MBR, because only XP-64bit can use gpt at all and only for data | 12:21 |
| CiSense | chowlett, each partition is a local NTFS disk | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | CiSense, OK, well, sorry, but that kind of talk is ... over my head. ask again in the channel. someone will know. | 12:23 |
| CiSense | llutz, ok yes it's 32 bit XP | 12:23 |
| llutz | CiSense: sounds like mbr with extended partition holding some logical drives. nothing special | 12:23 |
| CiSense | i can believe that | 12:24 |
| Walther | When using apt-dater to remotely update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable". The apt-dater works fine with other servers. | 12:24 |
| CiSense | so i can install onto the spare partition with the advanced option thingy? | 12:24 |
| llutz | CiSense: shouldn't be a problem | 12:25 |
| CiSense | llutz, if it is we may be chatting again :) | 12:25 |

| an0n | What is recommended size for root partition in ubuntu 12.04? | 12:32 |
| arkie_ | Hey guys | 12:32 |
| DrGrov | an0n: I put 25GB for / . Usually I keep a minimum of 10-12 GB but bigger if possible. | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | an0n, 10 should me more than enough | 12:33 |
| arkie_ | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, for some reason when i change the brightness nothing happens. | 12:33 |
| arkie_ | Any suggestions? | 12:33 |
| DrGrov | an0n: But I have a suitable 32GB SSD for root so I tend to use it to full size only for root anyhow. | 12:33 |
| OerHeks | arkie_, suggestion: give more details, what laptop etc | 12:33 |
| arkie_ | OerHeks: it's an Asus UL30VT | 12:33 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Regarding the root partition. What is preferred to use as file system for root? Does it matter greatly if it is ext4 or xfs? | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, default is ext4. unless you really know what you're doing and why, I'd go with that | 12:35 |
| an0n | cfhowlett: What kind of software is installed? | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | an0n, ubuntustudio fully updated 12.04.2 | 12:35 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: I actually gotta check what I put. Any nice terminal command to easily check? fdisk -l does it? | 12:36 |
| gustav | WindowMaker has a bug. Where should I turn? For real this time. | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, du -H | 12:36 |
| aguitel | any tips to install linux in Acer aspireone 725 model ? | 12:36 |
| arkie_ | cfhowlett: any ideas? | 12:36 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Ah, I remember fdisk -l from my yesterday xorg.conf adventure :) Thanks. That is useful to know. | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, df -H fingers have dyslexia. | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | arkie, sorry, can't help with that one ... | 12:37 |
| arkie_ | hmm | 12:37 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Ah yes, df -h I know. But ah, it is capital H. That explains why I just got a strange output. | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, fwiw: fully updated ubuntustudio with medibuntu and restricted extras / runs 6.8 gigs | 12:38 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: fdisk -l does not harm anyhow? It just lists partitions? | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | DrGrov: doesn't work on gpt, and you need to use sudo with it | 12:38 |
| an0n | DrGrov: Normally I use 10 gb, is it enough to install ide, kde, a virtual machine and some software? Making the system updates this space would be enough? | 12:38 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Okay, that is not bad. Then I might next time repartition my 32GB SSD a bit differently. | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, ah, I should mention, my /home is in a separate partition | 12:39 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Mine as well. I have a 250GB for /home and /tmp. | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, similar to my setup. | 12:39 |
| DrGrov | an0n: Yes, that is enough. I just had the separate 32GB SSD in use which I did not know what to do with otherwise. | 12:40 |
| gustav | Any suggestions if I want to make my Ubuntu a little "cooler?" | 12:40 |
| DrGrov | Ben64: I mean running "sudo fdisk -l" does not harm the current system in any way? | 12:40 |
| Ben64 | DrGrov: correct | 12:40 |
| DrGrov | gustav: Cooler as colder or cool as pimped up? | 12:40 |

| gustav | DrGrov: I already have the random keyboard colours. | 12:41 |
| gustav | I want to go Plan 9. | 12:41 |
| DrGrov | gustav: Ok, well to start with it depends what DE or WM you got. I pimp my system quite heavily always the first few days until it settles. | 12:41 |
| gustav | DrGrov: Yeah, well, I run WindowMaker. | 12:42 |

| gustav | That's what I really want. | 12:42 |
| blackshirt | i'm always encountered error with apache server | 12:42 |
| DrGrov | gustav: What specs do you have then? Perhaps we do the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic since this has apparently nothing to do with Ubuntu itself? | 12:42 |
| medwards | I appear to have borked my multi-arch setup in a fit of uninstalling i386 packages that I thought were unnecessary... can I get a touch of help? I just want wine-1.5 and i think I've narrowed it down to libgcc1:i386 being v4.7 but the libgcc1 is 4.6 :/ | 12:42 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: What do you usually include in a partitioning? /, /home, /swap and /tmp ? | 12:43 |
| gustav | DrGrov: I'm on there. | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, /home for my stuff, / for the filesystem and /swap of 2X ram, i.e. 8 gigs | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, but that's just me ... | 12:44 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: Ah, I see. I should have also done that for /swap. Damn it. It is just 8 GB now when I have 8GB of RAM. | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | DrGrov, lots of debate on /swap and ram... I just find that the 2X formula makes it a brainless decision. | 12:45 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: That is true. I had a old P2 466MHz with 128MB of RAM (upgraded to 192MB later) and had a 4GB swap. | 12:46 |
| wasanzy | hello | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | wasanzy, greetings | 12:46 |
| DrGrov | cfhowlett: It sure does make it brainless :) I tend to keep 1X now. But if I had a older system definitely at least 2X, perhaps even 8X. | 12:47 |
| wasanzy | I want to create a different terminal profiles, each of them with different colors, how can I do that? | 12:47 |
| wasanzy | is possible in Gnome but is not working on xubuntu | 12:47 |
| wasanzy | so in the command field when I go to the terminal's property, I hv to add some thing like this: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile gold --zoom=1.3 | 12:49 |
| an0n | DrGrov: The hard drive is 80 gb I thought I'd leave this way / 10 gb, 2gb swap and 68 gb / home. I believe that is sufficient space in the root partition to use programming software, virtual machines, GUIs .. How many gb ranks ubuntu 12.04.2 installed and updated? | 12:49 |
| wasanzy | the name of this terminal will gold | 12:49 |
| wasanzy | this is not working in ubuntu, please advise | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | an0n, sounds reasonable though personally, I'd double down on the ram | 12:50 |
| DrGrov | an0n: Do not forget the /tmp I would say. | 12:50 |
| DrGrov | an0n: I can check my 12.04.2 as I am running now. I have installed quite some additional stuff though but for a bit of guidance. | 12:51 |
| DrGrov | an0n: I am using roughly 5.2GB as of now, cleaned up quite much though. But 10GB is definitely enough for everything you need I would say. | 12:51 |
| arkie_ | Can someone help me. I've just installed ubuntu for the first time. It's all good but I can't adjust the brightness on my laptop... | 12:52 |
| DrGrov | an0n: Also do as cfhowlett says, double down on the ram. | 12:52 |
| cfhowlett | an0n, regularly running apt-get autoremove and apt-get clean will sweep out your cache and leave more room on the / | 12:53 |
| medwards | when I try to do sudo apt-get install libgcc1:i386 I get 'libgcc1 : Breaks: libgcc1:i386 (!= 1:4.7.0-12ubuntu2~local1~oneiric) but 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed' any ideas? | 12:53 |
| jrib | medwards: are you using oneiric? | 12:54 |
| an0n | cfhowlett: I could leave 15 gb root partition in order to have a spare, but do not like to stay idle space. The problem is partition so you have to do it again because of the size defined in the root partition .. | 12:56 |

| medwards | jrib: http://pastebin.ca/2355763 | 13:12 |
| jrib | medwards: you have that weird version installed | 13:13 |
| philinux | dvyjns: try from a terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 13:14 |
| an0n | cfhowlett: Thanks for the tips | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | an0n, best of luck | 13:14 |

| philinux | mustafa_: never come across those sorry. someone else may have | 13:15 |
| mustafa_ | philinux: thanks anyway :) | 13:15 |
| an0n | philinux: thanks | 13:16 |
| robblue2x | mustafa_: what kind of card is it? I had an AMD 6630M in a Dell Vostro 3550 and the latest drivers from AMD worked | 13:16 |
| dvyjns | philinux, tried it. It installs "Nvidia X server settings", cant set my resolution to 1920x1080. Stuck on 1024x768. | 13:16 |
| medwards | jrib: correct, I've taken several approaches to removing it, but it persistently insists that I uninstall absolutely everything as a result... | 13:16 |
| medwards | jrib: do you know how I get the precise entry to have a higher ranking? I'm assuming if its 50 instead of 500 it will get selected instead of the local version? | 13:17 |
| philinux | an0n: also these days I leave home on root and now have a separate data partition instead | 13:17 |
| mustafa_ | robblue2x: It's nvidia geforce with cuda | 13:17 |
| jrib | medwards: you can see the candidate for i386 is already the precise version. I suggest try downgrading your libgcc1 with apt-get install libgcc1=VERSION (you can get the version from apt-cache policy output) | 13:18 |
| an0n | philinux: yes | 13:18 |
| medwards | ah perfect | 13:19 |
| robblue2x | mustafa_: Ah i haven't used a NVidia based hybrid GPU, but the nvidia driver is supposed to be quite good on ubuntu | 13:19 |
| jrib | medwards: note downgrading isn't support so things could go horribly wrong... | 13:19 |
| ggherdov | Hi all. How to know if package XYZ is installed on my system? | 13:19 |
| Rallias | I'm having an issue using lxc-destroy... "rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/lxc/rallias/rootfs’: Operation not permitted". What should I do? | 13:19 |
| medwards | jrib: is there an easy way to search for my weird local package version #? I know for example that gcc-4.7-base is also from the same PPA | 13:19 |
| * ggherdov what was that apt-get option... | 13:19 | |
| jrib | ggherdov: apt-cache policy XYZ | 13:19 |
| robblue2x | ggherdov: dpkg -l | grep package | 13:19 |
| ggherdov | jrib: ok thanks | 13:19 |
| medwards | jrib: lol thats OK, for 4.7 its an upgrade actually :D | 13:19 |
| arkie_ | in what folder on the file system are downloaded programs? | 13:20 |
| ggherdov | robblue2x: ok] | 13:20 |
| mustafa_ | robblue2x: Ubuntu now is running on my intel card. How can I make specific application run on the nvidia card through terminal? | 13:20 |
| philinux | dvyjns: check your bios re graphics card | 13:20 |
| jrib | medwards: you can use aptitude's search (see its manual). I don't know the right options offhand | 13:20 |
| arkie_ | i need to copy a file into the directory of a downloaded program but cant find where it is | 13:20 |
| arkie_ | are they all in the etc folder on the file system? | 13:20 |
| medwards | jrib: or I'm a herp derp, dpkg -l is enough | 13:20 |
| arkie_ | or where? | 13:20 |
| jrib | medwards: true, if you can match for that ~local1~oneric string I guess | 13:20 |
| robblue2x | mustafa_: sorry, i've no idea, have you installed the nvidia drivers? | 13:20 |
| philinux | dvyjns: bios may be set to use onboard graphics or something | 13:20 |
| dvyjns | philinux, okay brb. | 13:21 |
| mustafa_ | robblue2x: through addition driver manager or terminal? Because through additional driver manager it doesn't show me any drivers to download. | 13:21 |
| Pici | arkie_: packages are installed into a number of different paths depending on what sort of iles are being installed. Perhaps if you explain exactly what you are looking for we could help you better. | 13:22 |
| mustafa_ | robblue2x: Do you also have any idea how can I see which video card my Ubuntu is using? | 13:22 |
| adamk | mustafa_: After you used apt-get to install the driver, did you reboot and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it was actually using the nvidia driver? | 13:22 |
| jrib | mustafa_: by the way, there is a ppa-purge application that does this downgrading for you | 13:22 |
| foobArrrr | printing problem: my printers work for a few pages, then stop printing. the print queue window shows "Printing ...", but nothing happens anymore. after reboot they work again, but only for a few pages. same behavior with two different printers (Brother HL-2030 and Oki B4100). Kubuntu 12.10 64bit | 13:23 |
| adamk | D'oh, I asked the wrong person... | 13:23 |
| robblue2x | mustafa_: that is strange, i've never came accross that | 13:23 |
| jrib | medwards: by the way, there is a ppa-purge application that does this downgrading for you | 13:23 |
| arkie_ | hey guys, i installed a program called keepass. ive got a plugin for it that i need to drop in its directory. where can i find that in the filesystem? | 13:23 |
| jrib | mustafa_: ignore my message please, I meant it for someone else | 13:23 |
| mustafa_ | adamk: | 13:23 |
| robblue2x | arkie_: "which keepass" will tell you where the program is, but thats probably not where you want to put the plugin | 13:24 |
| mustafa_ | i didn't install the driver yet, I am going to install it now. But first I want to make sure I can run only selected application using the nvidia and keep everything else using the intel card for battery reasons. | 13:24 |
| dvyjns | philinux, thanks mate. | 13:25 |
| adamk | mustafa_: That's exactly how optimus is supposed to work. | 13:25 |
| adamk | Personally, I have no experience with it. | 13:25 |
| philinux | dvyjns: what was it? | 13:25 |
| dvyjns | philinux, onboard graphics. I turned off "IGD multi-monitor" and when i booted linux my resolution was 1920x1080. | 13:26 |
| mustafa_ | adamk: Optimus is what's i run fter installing bumblebee right? | 13:26 |
| philinux | dvyjns: ah righto. is your graphics card built in or separate | 13:26 |
| medwards | jrib: haha now have to do it for libstdc++. I feel super safe (not) but its important progress. Thanks for helping point out my herp moment and showing me how to force versions with apt! | 13:27 |
| dvyjns | philinux, separate. | 13:27 |
| jrib | medwards: ppa-purge might be easier for you if there are a lot of packages | 13:27 |
| adamk | mustafa_: Optimus is just the name of that hybrid GPU technology your laptop uses. | 13:28 |

| mustafa_ | adamk: Ah, thanks :) | 13:29 |
| arkie_ | Problem is I can't find the directory. | 13:29 |
| medwards | and I got a bunch of stuff from pgsql GIS related repos that I need for work | 13:29 |
| jrib | medwards: ppa-purge lets you specify the ppa. But if it's only 4 packages, then it doesn't seem worth it | 13:29 |

I have it running if my user is logged in, however, I'm having problems finding the proper .Xauthority file for the display manager. Which display manager does 12.10 use? Where does it keep it's Xauth file? | 13:34 |
| Rahul_21 | medwards, ok,can you tell me how do i remove mysql completely and then reinstall it | 13:35 |
| Rahul_21 | medwards, please | 13:35 |
| medwards | Rahul_21: What command are you entering to get the error message you posted. | 13:35 |
| cfhowlett | magesing, #ubuntu-server | 13:35 |
| Rahul_21 | medwards, sudo apt-get -f install | 13:35 |
| Pici | cfhowlett, magesing: xorg problems are not suitable for #ubuntu-server | 13:36 |
| medwards | OK, first off, you need to figure out where your other package manager is and close it. Then it should be something like sudo apt-get remove mysql-server | 13:36 |
| medwards | Rahul_21: ^ | 13:36 |
| cfhowlett | Pici, OK ... thought the headless thing was the key | 13:37 |
| philinux | magesing: it's always been in the home folder of the user as .Xauthority | 13:37 |

| adamk_ | adminn_, Your GPU is only supported by the open source radeon driver and the legacy fglrx driver. The legacy fglrx driver will not work on 13.04 without downgrading Xorg and the kernel to much older versions, something I would never recommend. | 14:29 |
| OerHeks | adminn_, support for raring 13.04 in #ubuntu+1 untill it is released. | 14:29 |

| leo | hello | 14:30 |
| adminn_ | i had the same problem with 12.10 | 14:30 |
| adamk_ | adminn_, The last version of Ubuntu where the legacy fglrx driver worked without any downgrades was 12.04, I believe. | 14:30 |

| adminn_ | oh, so what can I do? only to use ubuntu 12.04? | 14:31 |
| adamk_ | Personally, I just use the open source drivers. | 14:33 |
| widad | bonjour, y'a t'il des marocains par la? | 14:33 |
| adminn_ | ok, so help me install the open source drivers | 14:34 |

| quem | adamk_: the legacy fglrx ppa works excellently on mine, 13.04, but another guy had a mishap with it last night (12.04) | 14:34 |
| adamk_ | adminn_, They should be installed/used by default. | 14:35 |
| CQ | !ubuntu-fr | 14:35 |
| adminn_ | of, ok, for me it does not work proprerly | 14:35 |
| quem | adminn_: try the fglrx legacy ppa if you're feeling frisky. :) just make sure you can access the machine through ssh in case things go awry | 14:35 |
| adamk_ | quem, It's still not something I'd recommend :-) | 14:35 |

| adamk_ | adminn_, Use a service like http://pastebin.com/ to show us your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so we can at least be sure the open source driver is working properly. | 14:36 |

| philinux | Prateek: you could try changing the channel on the router | 14:55 |
| Prateek | How do i do that | 14:56 |

| wonko451 | not that type of cluster | 14:57 |
| fuuf | OMG | 14:58 |

| Prateek | Should i delete all of them , philinux | 15:07 |
| philinux | Prateek: whats in there how many files | 15:07 |
| fuuf | 5 | 15:07 |

| Prateek | user.keysore | 15:08 |
| Prateek | user.keystore.UYDDVW | 15:08 |
| philinux | Prateek: yes delete all and delete all the wifi connection. In other words this start the process from scratch | 15:08 |
| Prateek | what to do after deleting | 15:09 |
| philinux | Prateek: if this does not solve problem then I'm out of ideas | 15:09 |

| KBuris | Hi, everyone. I have a dumb question. My mother is fed up with Windows on her laptop thanks to Win8's new Metro interface. I have never used Linux before except via LiveCD for portability and short-term security. Is there any way I can install, say, Ubuntu, in such a way that she will be able to retain the NTFS structure, so that her drives show up the way they would in FAT/NTFS? | 15:17 |
| Prateek | How do i disable | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | KBuris: resize the NTFS in WIndows, then install to the freed space | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Prateek: add the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 as I said earlier... | 15:18 |
| Prateek | how? | 15:18 |
| leptone | !ticker | 15:18 |
| philinux | Prateek: is this a laptop | 15:18 |

| Prateek | philinux, its a desktop | 15:19 |
| Smidthmador | What did I do wrong? I followed the instructions on ubuntu.org to burn and install the os. I put the dvd in, rebooted and it kinda started to load windows but then I got a black screen n had to restart. Then it said failed to restart n i had to sys restore. | 15:19 |
| philinux | Prateek: I would change the router channel number in case it's interference | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Prateek: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Prateek: change the line with: quiet splash in quotes to be: quiet splash ipv6.disable=1 save the new file and run: sudo update-grub | 15:20 |
| KBuris | Bumptious: Yes, because I want my mother to feel comfortable in the OS, and she's been using DOS/Windows since the late\ '80s. | 15:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Prateek: a very simple websearch would have shown you that | 15:20 |
| Prateek | ActionParsnip, Sorry i was a bit lazy but now i have a file opened | 15:21 |
| Bumptious | KBuris: I don't think there is a real way to do that. It might suffice to place a link on the desktop that kind of looks like the C drive named something like "C drive" and she can find her old files. | 15:22 |
| Prateek | philinux, If i go into 192.168.1.1 in the browser i can change the channel right? | 15:22 |
| philinux | Prateek: sample method here if ipv6 fix fails. http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/laptops/how-to-get-the-best-wi-fi-signal-from-your-router-50005751/ | 15:22 |
| Bumptious | and perhaps she can transition to getting used to a linux home directory | 15:22 |
| philinux | Prateek: yes you need to login to the router. Better from a wired machine | 15:23 |
| Prateek | philinux, mine is a desktop | 15:23 |
| KBuris | Bumptious: Most of what she needs is Firefox, OpenOffice.Org, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and a simple way to manage her files in a structure that's relatively understandable (with as little console use as possible, though last I checked, she's relatively amenable to using the CD\ command - if she knows what directory she's checking. | 15:23 |

| alteregoa | you gpu has a mouse trap? | 17:02 |
| superjoe | (and after a reboot) | 17:02 |
| dan18 | :-), i mean ubuntu shows an error dialog | 17:02 |
| usr13 | superjoe: dhclient eth0 | 17:02 |
| usr13 | superjoe: sudo dhclient eth0 | 17:03 |
| dan18 | and when getting the error information in the window to send it to the developers | 17:03 |
| dan18 | it says something like gpu error | 17:03 |
| superjoe | ok | 17:03 |
| dan18 | or perhpas incorrect gpu error reported | 17:03 |
| alteregoa | what kind of gpu? | 17:03 |
| dan18 | i think it has to do with the graphic card | 17:03 |
| dan18 | on a lenovo x220 | 17:03 |
| alteregoa | ah | 17:03 |
| dan18 | its a built in graphic card from intel | 17:03 |
| dan18 | on the motherboard i guess | 17:04 |
| superjoe | usr13, the command seems to be hanging | 17:04 |
| alteregoa | its a known bug | 17:04 |
| dan18 | perhaps false gpu lockup | 17:04 |
| dan18 | although some characters in a mozilla browser do get displayed corrupted | 17:05 |
| dan18 | alteregoa, so there isnt much i can do about it? | 17:05 |
| alteregoa | dan can you pastebin the output of dmesg | 17:05 |
| dan18 | dmesg? | 17:05 |
| dan18 | how to i get to that, is this a file? | 17:05 |
| usr13 | superjoe: Ok, well I can only guess about your network. (My guess was that your router has a dhcp server running and I advised you to query the dhcp server for correct IP information and in turn connect to the network). | 17:06 |
| tgm4883 | !pastebinit | dan18 | 17:06 |
| ubottu | dan18: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:06 |
| alteregoa | well its better someone else talks to you, im out of energy | 17:06 |

| usr13 | superjoe: ifconfig #Just see what it says. | 17:06 |
| tgm4883 | dan18, dmesg is a command you can run | 17:06 |

| dan18 | ok | 17:07 |

| dan18 | should i look for something specific in the output | 17:08 |
| tjingboem | does xrandr take more CPU then nvidia? | 17:08 |
| superjoe | usr13, I think it might be a kernel issue. It worked fine 10 minutes ago before I rebooted into a new kernel version | 17:09 |
| superjoe | but when I try booting into an older kernel, my display is totally fucked up - one of the screens is off and the resolution is wrong for the other | 17:09 |
| superjoe | I don't understand | 17:09 |
| IdleOne | superjoe: Please mind your language | 17:09 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, that would be because of proprietary drivers | 17:09 |
| dan18 | there is one line, perhaps of interest: "[ 6065.593252] [drm:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung" | 17:10 |
| === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle | ||
| superjoe | tgm4883, so if I boot into an older kernel, I need to reinstall the proprietary drivers? | 17:10 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, no, you would need to rebuild the kernel modules | 17:10 |
| alteregoa | there are FOUR... LIGHTS! | 17:10 |
| dan18 | this error line is included many times | 17:10 |
| superjoe | tgm4883, but I didn't have to rebuild any kernel modules so far... why is this an exception? | 17:10 |
| dan18 | alteregoa: is this one line from dmesg useful? | 17:11 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, because when you install a new kernel, a piece of magic called DKMS builds the kernel modules for you | 17:11 |
| superjoe | ah that's what that is | 17:11 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, but when you just boot an older kernel, the modules don't get rebuilt | 17:11 |
| superjoe | so I can boot into an older kernel and run dpkg-reconfigure dkms or something? | 17:12 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, what you should do, is boot to the older kernel, check that networking works, and then file a bug against the new kernel | 17:12 |
| superjoe | ok | 17:12 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, I doubt that would rebuild the kernel modules, and I'm unsure of how to force video drivers to rebuild the modules | 17:12 |
| superjoe | ok | 17:12 |
| tgm4883 | superjoe, perhaps a dpkg-reconfigure of the video drivers, but there is likely a better way | 17:13 |

| john_doe_jr | zoggnoff: I've got many | 17:18 |
| dan18 | ok, will reboot, lets see if that helped | 17:19 |
| tgm4883 | john_doe_jr, is there only the one space you want to replace with a -? | 17:19 |
| dan18 | did some kind of replacement for libva1:amd64 | 17:19 |
| dan18 | exit | 17:19 |
| john_doe_jr | tgm4883: just replace it w/ a dash | 17:19 |
| zykotick9 | zoggnoff: *.* means you only want to copy files with . in them. most directories don't have .s | 17:19 |
| john_doe_jr | zykotick9: I've got many files | 17:19 |
| john_doe_jr | "-" | 17:19 |
| zoggnoff_ | i'm zoggnoff | 17:19 |
| zykotick9 | john_doe_jr: ya, i saw. sorry i've never used rename before, good luck. | 17:20 |
| tgm4883 | john_doe_jr, so something simliar to this should probably work ' rename 's/ /-/' *' | 17:20 |
| tgm4883 | john_doe_jr, use it with the -n option to test first | 17:20 |
| zoggnoff_ | well why would it copy some directories.. | 17:20 |
| john_doe_jr | tgm4883: what is the -n option? | 17:20 |
| tgm4883 | john_doe_jr, -n is "--no-act", it just shows you what it would do | 17:20 |
| john_doe_jr | man rename | 17:20 |
| jay__267 | oh wow :D | 17:21 |

| tgm4883 | superjoe, you should at least open a bug on launchpad | 17:22 |
| john_doe_jr | tgm4883: I'm assuming the 's/ /-/' *' means substitute all spaces with a dash…right? | 17:24 |
| tgm4883 | john_doe_jr, yep | 17:24 |

| HelloWorld321 | Hi there. I'm trying to find the "best" printer driver for my Brother MFC-7860DW. The printer works fine, but the feature that the Canonical default driver is missing is double-sided printing, and when I print a large article, I can save a bunch of paper that way.

| bazhang | HelloWorld321, check linuxprinting.org database for that | 17:53 |

| Pici | mariana: What is the error message you are getting? | 18:41 |
| javier_ | I was installing the app darktable (using terminal) when the laptop accidentaly switched off. Now in terminal I see an error processing liblensfun0. How could I fix it? | 18:42 |
| mariana | marshalcure, I entered the instruction it showed into the Terminal and Terminal returned this message: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 18:42 |

| mariana | Pici, in Update Manager the error message is: Broken System Package | 18:43 |
| marshalcure | @mariana im pretty new but are you doing it sudo (i think thats root rights)? | 18:44 |
| mariana | Pici, here's the message: The package system is broken | 18:44 |
| mariana | Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. | 18:44 |
| mariana | Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f | 18:44 |
| Pici | mariana: can you open a terminal and run sudo apt-get install -f ? | 18:44 |

| llutz | Rahul_21: so your issue is? | 19:20 |

| Rahul_21 | llutz, what is mysqld? | 19:22 |
| llutz | Rahul_21: mysqld is the daemon for the mysql-service /database server/ | 19:22 |
| wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, Understandable, run the script and post the url, that is the best thing to do it takes out the guessing, and bias's of this what happened to me. | 19:23 |

| wilee-nilee | an0n, That does not include a swap which should be equal to your ram at the least. | 19:25 |
| genii-around | llutz: Additionally as i stated, it's an Upstart job and not a sysvinit job run by upstart with the "service" command | 19:25 |
| yousaf | she_dyed i am a beginner so I don't even know what the editors are | 19:25 |
| llutz | genii-around: you're right, but "service" handles upstart jobs too | 19:25 |

| l3n0x | [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ?? | 19:27 |
| genii-around | llutz: The problem becomes if ther is an /etc/init.d etry for it, then it will use that forst if you specify service. So if it was began as a native upstart job and you keep trying to use service to stop/restart it, the pid etc don't match | 19:27 |

| Tm_T | virtuelv: this is the help channel (: | 19:40 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, Invite only | 19:40 |
| virtuelv | ah, it didn't use to be like this, IIRC | 19:40 |

| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, This is ubuntu support however. ;) | 19:41 |
| virtuelv | I have no access to a windows machine, but need to know what Samsung's SSD Magician tool does in the over provisioning settings | 19:41 |
| minetape | 13.04 is in beta | 19:41 |
| virtuelv | wilee - yes, this is related, sort of - I need to know what the over provisioning does before I let ubuntu loose on my SSD | 19:41 |
| minetape | Has anyone tried it yet? | 19:41 |
| tgm4883 | !13.04 | minetape | 19:42 |
| ubottu | minetape: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 19:42 |
| bekks | minetape: Everyone in #ubuntu+1 did :) | 19:42 |
| minetape | i didnt :/ | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, I'm not sure I understand you what are your concerns, I have ubuntu on my 256 gig ssd | 19:42 |
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: but if you know a more generic place to ask this question, I'm al ears | 19:42 |
| minetape | I want to know how it is as far as stability looks and such | 19:42 |
| wilee-nilee | !13.04 | minetape | 19:42 |

| minetape | stahp | 19:42 |
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: my concern is about how Samsung has, technically, implemented over-provisioning in their tool | 19:43 |
| virtuelv | whether their SSD is treating unpartitioned space as an area for over-provisioning | 19:43 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, I'm not familiar with over-provisioning, do you mean writes to to the drive and how often? | 19:43 |
| virtuelv | or whether it's some form of magic partitioning, or reconfiguration of the hardware | 19:44 |
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: no, overprovisioning is, simplified, an unpartitioned space on a SSD that the SSD can use for wear levelling | 19:44 |
| gustav | Uhm. Thunderbird just randomly crashed. What could that be? | 19:44 |
| virtuelv | it both improves performance and lifetime of the drive | 19:44 |
| gustav | It has never done that before. | 19:44 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, You can use a wear leveling without any unpartitioned space, ubuntu has several methods, to be honest SSD now last as long as disc drives. | 19:45 |
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu isn't the only OS I will be running, so I need the exact technical info from someone who has actually tried the tool | 19:46 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, To be honest then call samsung that is not within ubuntu support. ;) | 19:46 |
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: I'm aware of that | 19:47 |
| tgm4883 | virtuelv, something tells me that if you want the "exact technical info" you'll probably have to A) talk to Samsung, B) somehow get them to agree to give it to you, and C) sign an NDA | 19:47 |
| virtuelv | have you ever tried Samsung (or any other megacorp's support) | 19:47 |
| Georgi | hello. I installed some updates and now I don't have a wallpaper but a white background. Do you know how I can regain my wallpaper look? | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Georgi, right click the desktop-change desktop background | 19:48 |
| Georgi | I did | 19:48 |
| Georgi | it does not change | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | Georgi, I have had that happen try a logout or reboot, you can also open a specific image and add to desktop it with a right click. | 19:49 |
| wilee-nilee | virtuelv, Honestly I think you are overthinking this, I have 3 OS on my SSD HD, W8, precise, and raring I just removed debian and quantal that were there as well.. | 19:51 |
| === rAg3 is now known as mrigeshpokhrel | ||
| virtuelv | wilee-nilee: I'm _not_ overthinking this | 19:51 |
| tgm4883 | wilee-nilee, virtuelv I was under the impression that wear-leveling was built into the SSD drives now, not a function of the OS? | 19:52 |
| widad_ | kayn chi mghriby hna | 19:52 |
| wilee-nilee | In your mind yes ;) | 19:52 |
| wilee-nilee | tgm4883, Yeah. | 19:52 |
| virtuelv | I bought an SSD because I do a fair bit of disk-intensive stuff, and need the performance | 19:52 |
| syncsys_ | is there a biomatix thum impression hardware for attendance that can run on linux (and cannot be tampered by photo copied thumb prints on papers) . I need a good one, by which I can manipulate / use its database (where attendance record is present) to make another application by which records may be viewed on a website? | 19:52 |
| bekks | virtuelv: Then you should benchmark it yourself, maybe? | 19:53 |
| virtuelv | and I'm not about to install the SSD to find out in six weeks that it did the wrong thing | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | virtuelv, what SSD drive? | 19:53 |
| virtuelv | samsung ssd pro 840 | 19:53 |
| virtuelv | the question is actually whether anyone in the linux community has reverse-engineered the magician tool's over-provisioning tool | 19:54 |
| javier_ | hi all! Someone knows how could I install mint x theme in ubuntu? can't find a PPA with it in google... thanks!!! | 19:54 |
| mutante | i want to use " do-release-upgrade -p" to upgrade a box from lucid to precise, but "No new release found". where would i have to tell it to find precise again? | 19:54 |
| dazsim | err, i think my 4 year old has killed my superuser desktop. when i log in, it shows a graphic window with a console top left. I'm currently logged in as guest and have alt-f3 open logged in to my superuser account. any advise? | 19:55 |
| virtuelv | I've googled for two hours without finding an actual answer | 19:55 |
| wilee-nilee | dazsim, Not without a password, what is a super user desktop anyway? | 19:56 |
| === syncsys_ is now known as Quest | ||
| genii-around | Bright red, hopefully | 19:56 |
| dazsim | the root user | 19:56 |
| dazsim | the main one | 19:56 |
| tgm4883 | virtuelv, I'm reading the release notes, but I'm not entirely sure what you want from the magician tool | 19:56 |
| wilee-nilee | dazsim, Have you been running in root? | 19:56 |
| dazsim | i cant get into "administrator" | 19:56 |
| dazsim | yeah its a kick around laptop. didnt consider the possiblity my son might wreck it | 19:57 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: as said, it has a function for setting aside space for "over-provisioning" | 19:57 |
| Quest | Can a linux server make a domain with windows clients and use similar like active directory to install sofwares on ALL windows clients? | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | use nicks please | 19:57 |
| bekks | !sudo | dazsim | 19:57 |
| ubottu | dazsim: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 19:57 |
| bekks | !root > dazsim | 19:57 |
| ubottu | dazsim, please see my private message | 19:57 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: over-provisioning is, briefly, setting aside space for wear-levelling (which samsung SSD's don't do by default) | 19:57 |
| wilee-nilee | dazsim, Be careful here answer questions concisely, or we are wasting each others time. ;) | 19:57 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: so my brief question was whether anyone knows exactly what Samsung's tool does when it sets aside this space | 19:58 |
| w30 | dazsim, check the ownership of .Xdefaults or .Xauthority in your home directory and make sure they match the appropiate user | 19:58 |
| dazsim | ok, i have 1 real account. it has admistrator priveledge. i came home to find it no longer allows me to log in fully | 19:58 |
| SineTheCreator | did someone here ping me? | 19:58 |
| virtuelv | (Samsung is different from other vendors with this) | 19:58 |
| dazsim | .Xauthority is owned by the user | 19:58 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: and, since I have no access to Windows, I would like a good answer somewhere about what it does, and whether leaving, say 50 GB of unpartitioned space achieves the same as samsung's tool | 19:59 |
| dazsim | i've also checked that /tmp has the right user | 20:00 |
| Nanix | Just found out that jupiter is deprecated and doesn't work on 13.04 any longer. Is there any substitute for it? | 20:00 |
| dazsim | if i had to guess i'd imagine my 4 year old son either renamed or deleted something vital | 20:00 |
| wilee-nilee | !13.04 > Nanix | 20:00 |
| ubottu | Nanix, please see my private message | 20:00 |
| tgm4883 | virtuelv, I doubt anyone has reverse engineered the samsung magician tool. Further, if Samsung doesn't build wear-leveling into their drives, it sounds like I won't be buying Samsung SSD's in the future | 20:01 |
| mutante | what's the deal with "lzma" being removed when i upgrade from lucid to precise? i get a fat warning to type 'Yes, do as I say!' | 20:01 |
| dazsim | @ w30 | 20:01 |
| === mrigeshpokhrel is now known as rAg3nix | ||
| virtuelv | tgm4883: oh, there is some form of wear-levelling there, but this over provisioning stuff is also for performance | 20:01 |
| wilee-nilee | !info lzma | 20:02 |
| ubottu | lzma (source: lzma): Compression and decompression in the LZMA format - command line utility. In component main, is optional. Version 9.22-2ubuntu2 (quantal), package size 52 kB, installed size 140 kB | 20:02 |

| wilee-nilee | in* | 20:02 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: which is mostly what I'm concerned with anyway | 20:03 |
| Quest | Can a linux server make a domain with windows clients and use similar like active directory to install sofwares on ALL windows clients? | 20:03 |
| Georgi | hello. I have white stuff as wallpaper and I can't change it. Can someone help me with that? | 20:03 |
| mutante | wilee-nilee: i just told it to go on anyways... now E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'util-linux'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2) | 20:03 |
| mutante | sigh | 20:03 |
| wilee-nilee | mutante, Did you have a PPA of it that is not up to date yet? | 20:03 |
| tgm4883 | virtuelv, that doesn't change that I don't think anyone has reverse engineered it | 20:03 |
| tgm4883 | Quest, there are a few ways to do that | 20:04 |
| Quest | tgm4883, like? | 20:04 |
| virtuelv | tgm4883: well, thanks anyway | 20:04 |
| tgm4883 | Quest, well, it really depends on what you are doing for me to make a recommendation | 20:04 |
| mutante | wilee-nilee: no, i don't see any ppa in my sources list | 20:05 |
| virtuelv | seems I'll have to shoot Samsung an e-mail, and wait in vain for them to provide an answer | 20:05 |

| Quest | tgm4883, ya | 20:06 |
| mutante | wilee-nilee: what would i have to do to make 'do-release-upgrade -p' find a new release? | 20:06 |
| w30 | dazsim, worse case copy another users home to your admin home and change a11l the new files to your admin user. keep the admin user home some where as a backup and then play with various chunks of the files to see what ones kill the gui as you substitute back in. Lots of work I know but... | 20:06 |
| mutante | then i'll try that instead of just manual | 20:06 |
| tgm4883 | Quest, You could use Puppet or Samba 4 | 20:06 |
| dazsim | so to anyone. what would make an account on ubuntu desktop clear the login screen as if its about to load all the desktop items and then display a console top left that i cant type into... | 20:06 |
| deadweasel | my 12.04 x64 won't 'startx' because it tries to change the bitrate on an old wireless card (wlan0).. my new card is usb and wlan1... so It sticks during boot with message "faild to wakup ath0 500us" | 20:07 |
| wilee-nilee | mutante, I'm not familiar with that that app, your error looks like a setup is needed, did you follow the errror instructions? | 20:07 |
| wilee-nilee | error* | 20:07 |
| dazsim | w30 - thats the thing, its a kick around laptop so only the 1 account | 20:07 |
| deadweasel | anybody know how to startx w/out it trying to change the bitrate on a nonexistant wireless card? | 20:07 |
| dazsim | if i can create another account then that'll do - i'll just copy the files over and give it same rights | 20:07 |
| deadweasel | it's a settig i made via guide a long ways back, don't know what it is now | 20:07 |

| Reggie_ | humm resolv.conf comes back blanl | 20:34 |
| Reggie_ | blank* | 20:34 |
| Reggie_ | is there a reason resolv.conf is resolv.conf.d?? | 20:35 |

| nickd123 | as it stands grub is not installed | 21:04 |
| gustav | AND works with optirun/bumblebee. :) | 21:04 |
| wilee-nilee | nickd123, Server installs or raid are not my area of study, however it seems the grub install command was probably wrong is my best guess. | 21:04 |
| gustav | Now I am finished. You may answer. | 21:04 |
| djhthoris | gustav, I am trying to visualize what you mean | 21:05 |
| MonkeyDust | gustav try compiz config | 21:05 |
| MonkeyDust | gustav it has a lot of fancy eye candy | 21:05 |
| wilee-nilee | nickd123, Grub should probably go the the mbr, the OS has the corresponding files already is my guess. | 21:05 |
| nickd123 | yeah mine either, all my use in the past was on single drive systems and its simple, I have tried two full installs today first with fakeraid then with software raid | 21:05 |
| gustav | MonkeyDust: Isn't WMs all eye candy? This isn't eye candy btw. But I know what you mean. I think it's more fluid and it's not always. | 21:06 |
| gustav | djhthoris: Get some sand. :) And a paper. | 21:06 |
| nickd123 | how do i find the mbr? | 21:06 |
| wilee-nilee | nickd123, If not the mbr a boot partition, although that is probably not needed per-say. | 21:06 |
| gustav | nickd123: It's the 512 bytes of any sda, sdb, etc. | 21:07 |

| tgm4883 | Zonko, you don't. You download a supported version | 21:24 |
| Ben64 | Zonko: download a new iso and use it instead, 6.10 is long long since unsupported | 21:24 |
| tgm4883 | Zonko, 6.10 has been unsupported for a very, very long time | 21:25 |
| Zonko | :( | 21:25 |
| Zonko | So there's no way? | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | Zonko, no way that is supported | 21:25 |
| Zonko | Can I update the 6.10 iso without redownloading it all? | 21:25 |
| lee | dtigue: nope, the login dialog is also dim, stays dim if I login at that point, and if I log out the brightness goes back up | 21:25 |
| madprops | anybody knows a command to make networkmanager re-establish the current connection? | 21:25 |
| k1l | Zonko: there is a way. but you are 2 years faster with downloading a new iso and install with that | 21:25 |
| tgm4883 | Zonko, you could use zsync, but likely every package on that disk has been updated | 21:25 |
| Zonko | :/ | 21:25 |
| dtigue | Zonko, 6.10 wasn't a very good release anyway, either get 12.04 LTS, or 12.10, or wait a few days and get the latest and greatest 13.04 | 21:26 |
| Zonko | okay well | 21:26 |
| Zonko | How do I replace my os after I download it? | 21:26 |
| tgm4883 | Zonko, burn the ISO to a CD as an image and boot it up | 21:26 |

| dtigue | lee, once you log in can you go in and change the brightness in the settings ? | 21:26 |
| Zonko | Well | 21:26 |
| lee | dtigue: on initial login (auto or not), changing the brightness slider does nothing. after logging out and in again to restore full brightness, changing the brightness slider then changes the brightness | 21:27 |
| Zonko | I only have 700mb disks... | 21:27 |

| dtigue | lee, do you have the correct video drivers installed? is this a fresh install? what version of ubuntu are you using > | 21:28 |
| k1l | Zonko: did you read the install link the bot gave you? | 21:29 |
| dtigue | Zonko it's explained on the website when you go to download the ISO image | 21:29 |
| lee | it also appears that brightness is not remembered between logouts, but I don't really care as it should probably be on full anyway | 21:29 |
| lee | dtigue: fresh install of 12.04, I haven't installed anything since install | 21:30 |
| spexi | Hi! I have Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS, and I had 80gt hard drive with all other partitions than /home, and 200gt hard drive for home. Yesterday the 200gt hard drive got broken, and I bought today new. What things I have to do exactly to get that new drive working and behaving as new /home? BIOS detects the new drive so far. | 21:31 |
| mikehaas763 | Is there a way to check when a program install through apt-get was last updated? | 21:31 |
| jrib | spexi: format it, update your /etc/fstab | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | mikehaas763, you could parse /var/log/apt/history.log | 21:31 |
| spexi | jrib: okay. is there any instructions what to type in /etc/fstab, or is it clear when I open the file? | 21:32 |
| akSeya | folks; i'm running via ssh import -window root a.jpg but I get mostly black | 21:32 |
| jrib | mikehaas763: /var/log/dpkg.log may help too | 21:32 |
| jrib | !fstab | spexi | 21:32 |
| ubottu | spexi: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 21:32 |
| akSeya | I get the screenshot but with a big black square inside | 21:32 |
| spexi | jrib: thanks, I'll look that | 21:33 |
| Shogoot | its mounted toa aserver is it not? and therfor can be reaches on a local netweok, then its possbile to add that directory as a network disk. | 21:33 |
| dtigue | lee, strange, I would try installing all the updates, the see if any video drivers need to be installed by running the Additional Drivers, I know in 12.10 Additional Drivers is located under a tab in Software Sources, but I think in 12.04 it was still a separate application | 21:35 |
| === SonikkuAmerica2 is now known as SonikkuAmerica | ||
| === Hugolboss is now known as Hugolboss-afk | ||
| lee | dtigue: running now (I haven't updated anything since install, and there's no 3rd party drivers enabled yet) | 21:37 |
| lee | next question will be, is there an easy way to get rid of the default UI and replace it with something simpler (as both xubuntu and lubuntu refused to give me an X session), or rather, what's the right way of doing that | 21:38 |
| dtigue | lee, once you do that, then reboot and see if you still are having the screen brightness issue, make sure before rebooting, but after updating, to check and see if there is any 3rd party drivers by opening the Additional Drivers application | 21:38 |
| dtigue | lee, there is tons of window managers and desktop enviroments you can install, I would think that since you know you have a working X config you should be able to install any other UI and be able to get it running, if you decide to install xubuntu-desktop or whatever make sure you keep lighdm as the login manager instead of using whatever the other option is, i just installed gnome-remix on top of unity to test it out and I really like it, but I'm | 21:41 |
| dtigue | partial to E17 and openbox/fluxbox | 21:41 |
| lee | fluxbox might be a good bet, nice and simple and easy to lock down | 21:41 |
| CorySimmons | Hey guys, since #vbox is dead, do you care if I ask a vbox/ubuntu-related question here? :} | 21:42 |
| wilee-nilee | CorySimmons, go for it. | 21:42 |
| wutang | wilee-nilee, my bruva from another muva | 21:42 |
| minetape | Would it be possible to boot Ubuntu from a PS3? | 21:43 |
| wilee-nilee | "brother from another batter" Jamie Fox on SNL playing a hoho about the Twinkie. | 21:43 |

| wutang | THATCHER IS DEAD | 21:44 |
| wutang | FUCK THATCHER | 21:44 |
| CorySimmons | wilee-nilee: Ok, so I've got a vbox setup with ubuntu server on it. I set up Samba to share a folder. I changed my network settings from NAT to Bridged so this would work. Everything was fine, but lately my \\UBUNTU drive hasn't been showing up on my Windows network. Since it wasn't, I started randomly changing Network settings to see if anything helped, and now it is just never showing up. | 21:44 |
| FloodBot1 | wutang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:44 |
| wutang | SORRY | 21:44 |
| dtigue | lee, also I do suggest to most people, especially new users, to try to get used to unity, I didn't like it at first but now that I know all the keyboard shortcuts and can easily navigate it I really dig it, it does allow me to get to what is most important very quickly and i've noticed I'm more productive at work now that I'm using unity on my office PC | 21:44 |
| minetape | soo.... would it be possibru? | 21:44 |
| CorySimmons | wilee-nilee: I also had to restart my cable modem, so that may have reset the associated MAC address or something - not sure. | 21:44 |
| wilee-nilee | CorySimmons, Not an area I'm familial with is all. | 21:44 |
| CorySimmons | :( | 21:45 |
| minetape | familial lol | 21:45 |
| lee | dtigue: I'm not a new user, but I have forgotten more about debian and ubuntu than I currently know, also this is a machine that needs pretty much everything stripping out, it's essentially a kiosk | 21:45 |
| gustav | Hi. I'm trying to run guiminer.py and I get "ImportError: No module named tools," what should I do? | 21:45 |
| wutang | f*ck thathcer | 21:45 |
| wutang | *thatcher | 21:45 |
| dtigue | minetape, i don't think so because the archetecture of the cpu on the PS3 isn't support by ubuntu | 21:45 |
| centurion | hi there, can someone help me ? I am having issues with sound on 12.04 Ubuntu | 21:46 |
| CorySimmons | Well, is anyone in here knowledgeable about vbox networking? | 21:46 |
| wilee-nilee | !ask | 21:46 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:46 |
| centurion | !ask | 21:46 |
| lee | dtigue: in the Additional Drivers applet in System Settings, the Enable button is greyed out, how do I change that? | 21:47 |
| dtigue | lee, ahh, yea we have some kiosk machines for the public to use at the local library that we set up with openbox, they are very easy to lock down | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | State your problems if someone knows and wants to answer they will. ;) | 21:47 |
| lee | dtigue: I am using ltsp at another office to do kiosks, works great | 21:47 |
| lee | problem with machine = IT Crowd | 21:48 |
| dtigue | lee, yea thats what we did at the library | 21:48 |
| lee | so simple, so nice. at least in testing. hopefully going to be the same once I roll it out ... | 21:48 |
| lee | dtigue: aha, updates appear to have fixed it, or at least the login dialog is bright, let's try setting autologin and try again ... | 21:48 |
| gottwisst | My Microsoft Lifecam Hd 3000 causes programs to crash when videoing or recording sound - any suggestions | 21:48 |
| gottwisst | To clarify, if I open open "system settings" and then "sound" it does not cause a program to crash if recording sound | 21:50 |
| dtigue | lee, if the enable button is greyed out you can install through the command line, i don't remember the package for ati but for nvidia you can do 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' | 21:50 |
| gottwisst | If I have the system settings sound pannel open while I'm recording | 21:50 |
| lee | nah, it'll be an intel something | 21:50 |
| lee | however! updates have kind of worked, the screen is now on full brightness, but the brightness slider does nothing... this is a much better scenario than before and google was showing results to fix that specific issue, so thanks! | 21:51 |
| dtigue | lee, oh intel shouldn't need propreitary drivers, thats probably why the enable button is disabled | 21:51 |
| lee | centurion: please ask questions in here | 21:51 |
| RAPE-SEMEN | ಠ_ಠ | 21:51 |
| M3xka | hi | 21:51 |
| dtigue | lee, no problem, glad i could be of assistance | 21:51 |
| centurion | lee, I just installed 12.04 Ubuntu, but for some reason I am having issues with the sound | 21:52 |
| RAPE-SEMEN | hmmmm have you tried installing a real operating system that people use? | 21:52 |
| RAPE-SEMEN | like Windows? | 21:52 |
| centurion | I tried killall pulseaudio but nothing happened | 21:52 |
| RAPE-SEMEN | bonus: it'll run programs | 21:52 |
| dtigue | what king of issues, no sound, garbled sound, white noise? | 21:53 |
| centurion | no sound at all | 21:53 |
| lee | centurion: wish I could help, I haven't played with ubuntu for ages | 21:53 |
| dtigue | god where is the kick/ban guys when you really need em | 21:53 |
| centurion | dtigue, to whom are you referring to ? | 21:54 |
| dtigue | centurion, first off, have you checked that the sound is turned up on the speakers, have you checked that its not muted through the software and hardware? have you checked that the speakers are plugged in to the back of the machine (if it is a desktop) | 21:55 |
| dtigue | centurion, not you | 21:55 |
| lee | dtigue: thanks for the help! | 21:55 |
| centurion | All of them are checked | 21:55 |
| dtigue | lee, np | 21:55 |
| dtigue | centurion, ok and have you opened the sound settings and went through the tabs and made sure that the right devices are selected ? | 21:56 |
| w30 | lee, just guessing but maybe run the app as admin; like gksu <the app> | 21:56 |
| dtigue | w30, ?!?! | 21:58 |
| dtigue | centurion, open sound settings and under the output tab make sure your sound card is checked and the sound is turned up, also make sure to look at the very bottom of that same tab where it says 'Connector' and make sure the right thing is checked in there. | 21:59 |
| centurion | dtigue, yes and I tested it | 21:59 |
| deadweasel | Hi guys | 22:00 |

| deadweasel | i've looked at x11.conf, udev, dmesg, I have no idea where this setting is.... I even tried renaming wlan0 to wlan1 in udev | 22:02 |
| centurion | I have Output\Input\SoundEfects\Applications | 22:02 |
| dtigue | centurion, did you also look under the hardware tab and make sure at the bottom where it says Profile, make sure you have the correct thing there, mine is Analog Stereo Duplex | 22:02 |
| deadweasel | then i get an error about denyhosts not binding to device!@ | 22:02 |
| dtigue | centurion, Connector is at the bottom under the Output tab | 22:03 |
| dtigue | celso, set a cron job to run the update at a certain time ?? | 22:03 |
| deadweasel | I'm using wlan1 via cli now, but I if I try to startx I stall with that above error | 22:03 |
| gustav | Argh. I just want to mine a coin. | 22:03 |

| gottwisst | log out, click on that little button above your password | 22:09 |
| gottwisst | and change to gnome classic | 22:09 |

| Hydrox24 | Smbtree doesn't show the share, it shows the host name but just errors after that. | 22:25 |
| genii-around | RileyGuy: I do not usually suggest PPAs but I think you should probably just see http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html in this case. Manual install is a pain and you have to mess with moving the download into /usr/lib/jvm then tinkering with update-alternatives and so on. I'd recommend just carefully following the instructions on the web site given. | 22:26 |

| stunts513 | im on an old 2003 pc with a pentium 4 at 2.6GHz | 22:37 |
| stunts513 | the newer versions of ubuntu gave me problems when booting form live cd's | 22:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stunts513: A P4 does not run at 2.6 GHz. I used to have one. | 22:37 |
| stunts513 | mine does | 22:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stunts513: Such as? | 22:37 |
| gottwisst | I like Unity's look... and it is definitely ambitious and innovative in its aim | 22:37 |
| gottwisst | but it is horribly rigid | 22:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | stunts513: Usually a P4 runs at 1.6 GHz | 22:38 |
| stunts513 | if i remeber i think unity had problems initializing or something, wouldnt load the interface up all the way | 22:38 |
| RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica: I have java from java.com installed but I wanna set the path, think you could help me? | 22:38 |

| avickery | It didn't appear to. | 23:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !pastebinit | CorySimmons, here you go | 23:09 |
| ubottu | CorySimmons, here you go: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:09 |
| wilee-nilee | bray90820, If you comment it out, know how to add it back is correct not sure in burg which is basically grub with different look so a grub comment out works fine, not sure of the recovery though. | 23:09 |

| jnc | eedfwchris: encoding issues? | 23:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | RileyGuy: Hmmm... Oracle sees me rollin', it "h8n" | 23:24 |
| eedfwchris | jnc: Ideas on how to solve? | 23:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (Yeah go ahead and !u me) | 23:24 |
| eedfwchris | should i not be using utf8 maybe latin1 or w/e windows uses? | 23:24 |
| RileyGuy | lets go back in private chat | 23:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Sure | 23:25 |
| jnc | eedfwchris: nothing definitive ; I'd always be sure to mount using a filesystem driver that supports UTF8 and then a destination path that is UTF8 capable, but sometimes that is not enough | 23:25 |
| eedfwchris | which part is considered the "driver"? | 23:25 |
| jnc | eedfwchris: if your filesystem encoding doesn't neatly fit into UTF8 or it was stored on-disk incorrectly (partially corrupted and then recovered by a fsck) it could get weird quickly | 23:26 |
| eedfwchris | jnc: This is just a standard ext4 drive that is trying to be backed up to a ntfs smb share | 23:27 |
| eedfwchris | let me try rsync though just for giggles to see if it has the same problem | 23:27 |
| jnc | eedfwchris: okay so if your encoding is not utf8 and you mount as utf8, it could go wrong; also NTFS SMB share must be able to handle that (which it may not) | 23:27 |
| eedfwchris | how does one know the encoding of the partition itself? | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | eedfwchris, rsyncing a ext4 to a ntfs will break it for reuse. | 23:28 |
| jnc | eedfwchris: the test case will be to do your backup and the output as a tar archive on the remote filesystem, then read it back and look for suspicious filenames | 23:28 |
| eedfwchris | wilee-nilee: i am using rdiff-backup actually | 23:28 |
| eedfwchris | it's stated that it will store permissions as a file if it cant on the remote system | 23:29 |
| jnc | eedfwchris: if suspicious filenames, then problem is before the remote mount | 23:29 |
| wilee-nilee | eedfwchris, Does that save permissions, not familiar here. | 23:29 |
| jnc | else it's something to do with smb mount | 23:29 |
| lee__ | yeah | 23:29 |

| Pinkamena_D | hey guys I am trying to set up a network printer from ubuntu onto a windows network. Problem is i need to set the domain. the notation i have used in windows is just domain\username, but this does not seem to be working | 23:47 |
| Pinkamena_D | the printer setup box does not let you input the domain | 23:47 |
| jnc | Pinkamena_D: iirc domain is hardcoded | 23:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | If i set it to ask for credentials, then after i print i get the box asking for credentials THAT HAS a box to put the domain | 23:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | so i can print from here,I just need to enter the info each time which is really annoying | 23:48 |
| jnc | yep | 23:48 |
| jnc | though, no more annoying than a network printer | 23:49 |
| jnc | the process is similar | 23:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | I don't know what you are getting at | 23:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | I am on the helpdesk staff at my school and I installed ubuntu on one of the computers | 23:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | I was going to set up a few for students to learn on.. | 23:50 |
| jnc | well, for a network printer, you'd typically have to enter the IP address for it to be found | 23:50 |
| Pinkamena_D | the printer name does work though | 23:50 |
| Pinkamena_D | I just have to go to the queue to release the auth | 23:50 |
| she_dyed | and then it prompts for user/pass? | 23:51 |
| she_dyed | the same pair each time? | 23:51 |
| Pinkamena_D | something that simple I might be able to write some macro for, but It really seems like it should be supported natively | 23:51 |
| Pinkamena_D | To be more precise, it does not actually prompt, I have to manually go to the queue and release it | 23:51 |
| Pinkamena_D | but then it does print | 23:51 |
| she_dyed | maybe the security is set up high that itm needs to prompt each time | 23:52 |
| she_dyed | it* | 23:52 |
| Pinkamena_D | but it does not work like that on the windows machines | 23:52 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: You could try and specify your full UPN when setting up the printer. | 23:52 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: for example johnhough@domain.com | 23:53 |
| Pinkamena_D | thats the syntax i was looking for, the @..let me test | 23:53 |
| avid_fan | Pinkamena_D: I've used that in other situations, like ldapsearch queries. | 23:53 |
| Pinkamena_D | it is still at "held for authentication" | 23:56 |
| she_dyed | uh oh is the window out there, waiting for a click or passwd | 23:57 |
| she_dyed | wont the UPN be user@domain:pass or something | 23:58 |
| outlander | hi | 23:58 |
