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 |

technopeasant | I have no problem with Ubuntu recognizing and making partitions and formatting just won't write GRUB | 00:07 |
RileyGuy | technopeasant: check out rescatux | 00:07 |
RileyGuy | technopeasant: It is basically grub on a cd | 00:08 |
RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerica? | 00:09 |
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 |
RileyGuy | lemme link you tech | 00:09 |

RileyGuy | SonikkuAmerrica: So what should I do? | 00:11 |
SonikkuAmerica | That's a good question. That's a good question. | 00:11 |
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: !bug <number> | 00:24 |

technopeasant | Yes I said that and saw what's RAID? | 00:25 |
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 |
RileyGuy | quem: will this make minecraft run a bit faster as well? | 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 |
Ben64 | veebull: i doubt it's your machine's fault | 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 |

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 |
veebull | is the patch level (3.5.0-27) unique to Ubuntu, or would other distros have hte same kernel number? | 00:32 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 | 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 |

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 |

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 | 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 | 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 |

gottwisst | Ari-Yang: What do you mean by "I can't turn on the visibility"? | 04:36 |

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 |

bernstein | ChogyDan, I opened /etc/apt/ sources.list with gedit but it won't let me save. I closed down all other update related windows. | 04:45 |
ChogyDan | bernstein: did you use the gksu gedit command? | 04:46 |
bernstein | ChogyDan, how can I used the command in gedit? it's only an editor right? | 04:47 |
ChogyDan | bernstein: not in gedit, but to start gedit | 04:47 |

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 |
ChogyDan | bernstein: you can either just delete the line, or put a # in front of the line, either will work | 04:55 |

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 |
somsip | BlackWeb: no immediate idea, but I'd suggest setting an ENV for SSH users and wrapping rm in a script that checks for isset(ENV) | 05:13 |

DIFTOW | Good morning :) | 05:52 |
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 installed ubuntu with wubi before and it was a little choppy | 06:00 |
metzy | setting up my first install of ubuntu running in virtualbox with unity, what does everyone suggest for email client thunderbird, evolution or alternatives? | 06:00 |
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 |
wilee-nilee | DIFTOW, You can tab complete nicks. | 06:02 |
DIFTOW | ? | 06:02 |
wilee-nilee | !tab | 06:02 |
ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:02 |

DEA | so no way to fix that wilee-nilee? | 06:02 |
=== swappermall is now known as Guest4613 | ||
DEA | Anyway to get ubuntu running well with drivers installed with wubi? | 06:03 |
DEA | kinda don't have a blank CD atm haha | 06:03 |
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 |
wilee-nilee | the* | 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 |
DEA | quite odd | 06:06 |
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 |
Ben64 | nah, ram doesn't matter for it | 06:08 |
wilee-nilee | DIFTOW, Sounds like Xmas present. | 06:08 |
DIFTOW | lol | 06:08 |
DEA | i swear i hate comcast | 06:08 |
DEA | "up to" 30 mbps | 06:08 |

Morpheaus | Syria, np :) | 06:37 |
Syria | Morpheaus: This tutorial is showing you how to install it from the software center, I want to install it from tar.gz file. | 06:38 |
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 |

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 |

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 |
ubottu | maven: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

leptone | iceroot, im just worried im gonna upload the wrong one... | 07:15 |

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 | I thought it was for pure html page | 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 |
Siebjee | dodo3773, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5697679/ | 07:34 |
blahblah12345 | kohvihoor: okay, now Im tring to host web server on ubuntu, windows just too hard to set chmod. | 07:34 |
Siebjee | dodo3773, We're trying the new 3.5 kernel first. Afterwards if we still see the same issue we can try that :) | 07:36 |

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 |
pratz | cfhowlett: actually I am recording a video on vim editor | 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 | !paste | 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 |
sw | gottwisst, there are many derivatives, depends what you're using the system for | 08:58 |
=== sharperguy is now known as jpentland | ||
MestreLion | fisher: but the meter in setings moves when you speak? | 09:00 |
gottwisst | hokay, well, thanks for the help | 09:01 |
gottwisst | I'm off | 09:01 |
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 |

lx-bln | also the top bar is no more visible. i can only see my desktop wallpaper and my mouse pointer | 09:31 |
Ceric | lx-bln | I had the same problem. I resolved it by ctl+alt+k and installing the latest drivers for your video card. Mine was nvidia so it was easy. | 09:31 |

MonkeyDust | rDragon you changed things using the live cd, and now you want the same in the intallation? | 09:50 |

MonkeyDust | rDragon back them up, while in the live session | 09:54 |
Ceric | Dragon, mysuggestion would be to make a new partition, and migrate everything to be on the safe side. | 09:54 |

James_m | what the application do you use for viewing pdf-s which placed in URL-s? | 10:53 |
=== histo_ is now known as histo | ||
James_m | I use Firefox built-in but it is sometimes pretty slow | 10:54 |
histo | James_m: you need a pdf plugin | 10:54 |
James_m | histo: I have a pdf plugin and I have okular, the latter seems to be more efficient; some time ago I used xpdf, too, it worked quite nice | 10:55 |
James_m | built-in Firefox plugin sometimes causes crashes, at least in my case | 10:55 |
histo | James_m: then use xpdf | 10:55 |
histo | James_m: if you use firefox then mozplugger may be of assistance in getting whatever app to work | 10:55 |

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 |
jrib | sunuslee: what exactly are you modifying and building by the way? | 11:03 |

vlt | yeahuyen: lspci maybe | 11:04 |
sunuslee | jrib: for my folks, i consider those as a start point | 11:04 |
sunuslee | jrib: then just do as modify/build-package/install/modify ... | 11:05 |
James_m | OK, thanks, but they work if you know what the file you want to watch, don't they? How can I figure out what is the name of the file to which some date are being written/from which they are being read | 11:07 |
Walther | When using apt-dater to update some software on a ubuntu server, i get "dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable | 11:07 |

James_m | *data | 11:07 |
Walther | I already asked on ubuntu-server, but there's no active people around | 11:07 |
sunuslee | histo: i mean, can i make package just from the source DIRECTORY? | 11:07 |
drewhhh | hi folks, I may have done a stupid thing, I was removing ruby and I did sudo apt-get remove --purge ruby*, as it was removing everything grub came up and asked if I really wanted to remove it, and I said no | 11:08 |

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 |
kirankumar | How to solve a "Input is Not Supported " Before Login Page Come? | 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 |
dzan | hi, i'm following this guide to debootstrap an ubuntu rootfs: https://plus.google.com/100386424363328269117/posts/RhdQmjz4gBJ i'm using raring instead of precise | 12:25 |

whoru_ | Hi Guys | 12:27 |
cfhowlett | whoru_, greetings | 12:27 |
whoru_ | while debating with few friends we have a question | 12:27 |
=== dim|2 is now known as pons | ||
whoru_ | what is Linux? | 12:27 |
gustav | xload looks like a pretty funky hairdo. | 12:27 |
whoru_ | an OS or Kernel | 12:27 |
gustav | whoru_: Kernel. | 12:28 |

whoru_ | this website says its OS | 12:28 |
DJones | whoru_: Not really a question for this channel, you're betting joining #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss it | 12:28 |
cfhowlett | whoru_,http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=linux | 12:28 |
Kartagis | the OS is GNU/Linux | 12:28 |
gustav | whoru_: Eh. It's not that interesting. It can be any. | 12:30 |

DrGrov | DJones: Thanks for the help btw last night or two nights ago. Got the bug squashed that had to do with Chrome/Chromium/Firefox + Flash. | 12:31 |
DJones | DrGrov: You're welcome, glad you got it sorted | 12:31 |
=== Guest97131 is now known as fego | ||
DrGrov | DJones: It was a segfault of nvidia-current. Got nouveau installed, an upgrade of some sort to the original 12.04 nouveau and modelined my xorg.conf and disabled EDID information. Now it is 1920x1080 as intended. | 12:32 |
DrGrov | DJones: Thanks | 12:32 |
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 |
OerHeks | arkie_, seems like an old bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/542296 maybe you can make this old solution work >> http://wiki.daviddarts.com/Ubuntu_Maverick_on_the_Asus_UL30VT#Scripts_to_Activate_Screen_Brightness_Keys | 12:40 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 542296 in linux (Ubuntu) "Cannot change brightness Asus UL30VT" [Medium,Expired] | 12:40 |
gustav | DrGrov: Pimp my Ubuntu. | 12:40 |
DrGrov | Ben64: Thank you. I have a weak spot for creating havoc while having root god access :) | 12:41 |
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 | Would be nice to try CDE. | 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 |
an0n | cfhowlett: How much space do you leave? | 12:58 |
cfhowlett | an0n, I've got ubuntustudio PLUS medibuntu AND restricted extras. My / filesystem is only 6.8 gigs. | 12:58 |

Rahul_21 | can any1 please help me out | 12:58 |
cfhowlett | an0n, and I assigned 16 gigs to / so yeah ... room to grow | 12:58 |

ubottu | Rahul_21: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:00 |
an0n | cfhowlett: Regarding the older distributions, Ubuntu 12.04.2 occupies more space? | 13:00 |
medwards | jrib: 12.04, not sure what that ends up being | 13:01 |
cfhowlett | an0n, probably not noticeably more. | 13:01 |
jrib | medwards: so does "1:4.7.0-12ubuntu2~local1~oneiric" have no meaning to you? | 13:01 |
medwards | jrib: precise | 13:01 |
medwards | ah good catch | 13:01 |
an0n | cfhowlett: Regarding older Ubuntu distributions, Ubuntu 12.04.2 occupies more space? | 13:01 |
Rahul_21 | ubottu, lol ,but please help | 13:01 |
ubottu | Rahul_21: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:01 |
jrib | medwards: I imagine you probably have some ppa or unofficial package installed that's messing things up | 13:01 |
medwards | jrib: Yeah I got a few | 13:02 |
medwards | jrib: I'll tear them all and give it another go with win | 13:02 |
cfhowlett | an0n, in my experience, about the same amount of space required. | 13:02 |
Rahul_21 | ubottu, can anyone else help me out | 13:03 |
ubottu | Rahul_21: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:03 |

cfhowlett | an0n, best of luck | 13:14 |
mustafa_ | philinux: Could you help me with my hybrid graphics laptop please? | 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 |

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 |

Prateek | How do i do that | 14:56 |
MonkeyDust | fuuf type /join #ubuntu-nl-offtopic to find out | 14:56 |
wonko451 | I've got a few things about lvm and clustering for vooume groups | 14:56 |
philinux | Prateek: could be interference | 14:56 |
ubuntu631 | i cant install it from usb. computer so old that cant do it. i can only from hard disc | 14:56 |
wonko451 | volume even | 14:56 |
fuuf | ubottu: sorry i´m just a bit angry on that ******* in there | 14:56 |
ubottu | fuuf: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:56 |
wN | wonko451: el oh el | 14:56 |
fuuf | ubottu: haha | 14:56 |
wN | wonko451: you could always try #lvm and #linux-ha or #linux-cluster xD | 14:57 |
Prateek | Im using the same ssid with the same password right now on a different computer, philinux | 14:57 |
MonkeyDust | ubuntu631 instal from live cd -- where did you find wubi? | 14:57 |
ubuntu631 | i found it on ubuntu.ru | 14:57 |
cfhowlett | ubuntu.ru? sounds legit ... | 14:57 |
wonko451 | not that type of cluster | 14:57 |
fuuf | OMG | 14:58 |
MonkeyDust | fuuf stop | 14:58 |
wonko451 | i'm talking more of a software raid | 14:58 |
philinux | Prateek: you could try looking at some of these solutions. https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gl=uk&redir_esc=&ei=YM5mUbHPCIrJ0QWOx4G4Dg#client=ubuntu&hs=sxe&channel=fs&gl=uk&sclient=psy-ab&q=ubuntu+wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&oq=ubuntu+wifi+repeatedly+asking+for+password&gs_l=serp.3...4625.5755.0.6174.7.7.0.0.0.1.116.689.4j3.7.0...0.0...1c.1.8.psy-ab.rzztAQJQu- | 14:58 |

cfhowlett | !tiny | 14:58 |
wonko451 | like software raid 1 | 14:58 |
wonko451 | and i thought LVM could accomplish this with its clustering feature | 14:59 |
ubuntu631 | how to install ubuntu from hard disk if not to use cd-disk or usb disk? | 14:59 |
MonkeyDust | !install | ubuntu631 start here | 14:59 |
ubottu | ubuntu631 start here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

wonko451 | and not trying to do it on a boot drive, on a data drive | 14:59 |
MonkeyDust | ubuntu631 or type /join #ubuntu-ru | 15:00 |
Prateek | i looked at most of those forums before coming here | 15:00 |
wonko451 | but i got a weird error message last night attempting it | 15:00 |
wonko451 | In order for Volume Group to be safely used in clustered environment, lvm2-cluster rpm has to be installed, `lvmconf --enable-cluster` has to be executed and clvmd service has to be running | 15:00 |
ubuntu631 | #ubuntu-ru Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services | 15:00 |
wonko451 | why would ubuntu ask for an RPM to be installed? | 15:00 |
fuuf | Hey herby are you dutch? | 15:00 |

Prateek | bipul, Trying to connect to wifi on ubuntu 12.10 but every ten seconds i keep getting a dialog box askinueg me for the key | 15:02 |
Smidthmador | Hello | 15:02 |
bipul | Prateek: Key? what kind of key it is asking for ? can you past | 15:03 |
Smidthmador | I have a quick question if anyone is on. | 15:03 |
Prateek | wep key | 15:03 |
DJones | !ask | Smidthmador | 15:03 |
ubottu | Smidthmador: 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 | 15:03 |
wonko451 | @Prateek hardwire your box and check if you can connect, if so, then check your wireless drivers and wireless chipset | 15:03 |
Prateek | mines a dektop and the modems in another room | 15:04 |
bipul | can you explain the whole scenario how are you connecting you wifi with ubuntu ? | 15:04 |
philinux | Prateek: you could try deleting the two files in .local/share/keyrings/ folder | 15:04 |
Prateek | how do i acess the .local | 15:04 |
philinux | Prateek: I would have a look in there first there maybe more than 2 | 15:04 |
wonko451 | Why would ubuntu ask for a RPM to be installed when attempting to use LVM clustering as a software raid 1 equivilent? ( error message: In order for Volume Group to be safely used in clustered environment, lvm2-cluster rpm has to be installed, `lvmconf --enable-cluster` has to be executed and clvmd service has to be running) | 15:04 |
philinux | Prateek: use the file manager to go to your home directory and the ctrl h to show the hidden files | 15:05 |
Smidthmador | 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. | 15:06 |
MonkeyDust | wonko451 first thing on my mind: you somehow have non-ubuntu sources | 15:06 |
wonko451 | nopers blank default install | 15:06 |
anew | if i want to make a file 755, what do i need to make the folders it resides in? | 15:06 |
Prateek | There are three files login.keyring, user.keystore and user.keystore. UYDDVW | 15:06 |
wonko451 | used ubuntu software store and installed LVM gui and synaptic, and thats it | 15:06 |
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 | My previous message has the answer | 15:08 |
Prateek | Three files | 15:08 |
Prateek | Login.keyring | 15:08 |
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 |
philinux | Prateek: reconnect to wifi and it then restore the passowrd in the keyring folder | 15:09 |

ActionParsnip | Prateek: try disabling ipv6 with the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 15:14 |
ActionParsnip | Prateek: I assume you don't use ipv6 | 15:14 |
Prateek | i dont know what ipv6 is | 15:14 |
Prateek | ActionParsnip, i dont know what ipv6 is | 15:15 |
ActionParsnip | Prateek: normally people use IPs like 192.168.0.1 this is an IPv4 address | 15:16 |
Prateek | ok, ActionParsnip | 15:16 |
anew | if i want to make a file 755, what do i need to make the folders it resides in? | 15:16 |
ActionParsnip | Prateek: in the future addresses will be: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 | 15:17 |
Prateek | i think i use ipv4 | 15:17 |
ActionParsnip | Prateek: yes, more than likely, you can disable ipv6 and it can help | 15:17 |
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 |
Bumptious | Kburis, do you need the drives to show up a C:\ and such? | 15:18 |
leptone | sry | 15:18 |
Prateek | no a desktop | 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 |
carlos_ | can i help me with postgresql? | 15:24 |

zingaboy | I have a usb modem to connect to the internet on my laptop. I am trying to get my desktop get this internet access using a crossover cable. How do I go about it ? | 15:24 |

zingaboy | ubottu : I tried that, but I am unable to connect. I have a wired connection which is "shared to other computers" | 15:26 |

zvx10 | hi people, i want to switch from debian to ubuntu, however, i dont know if there's an alternative to debian netinstall for ubuntu. i dont want to install the whole system with unity/gnome/or some else DE, i want to install a minimalistic system with no x11 at all and install custom graphical interface later. So is there a possibility to install a minimal ubuntu system without any unnecessary software? | 16:52 |
bazhang | !mini | zvx10 | 16:52 |
ubottu | zvx10: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 16:52 |

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 |
superjoe | usr13, yes my router does have a dhcp server | 17:06 |
usr13 | superjoe: ifconfig #Just see what it says. | 17:06 |
tgm4883 | dan18, dmesg is a command you can run | 17:06 |

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 |
superjoe | hm | 17:13 |
tgm4883 | superjoe, in either case, you should still file a bug | 17:13 |

john_doe_jr | tgm4883: just replace it w/ a dash | 17:19 |

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 |

john_doe_jr | tgm4883: what is the -n option? | 17:20 |

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. I've done a little research, and found that I need a better printer driver. | 17:53 |
bazhang | HelloWorld321, check linuxprinting.org database for that | 17:53 |
HelloWorld321 | Brother doesn't seem to do it, their Linux support section (http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html) doesn't mention my printer (MFC-7860DW), and their MFC-7860DW driver downloads (http://www.brother-usa.com/downloads/default.aspx?PGID=5&R3ModelID=MFC7860DW#.UWb2Akmokak) only have a download for Windows 7 | 17:53 |

tgm4883 | see if the issue persists after that | 18:06 |
tgm4883 | eos, and one by one is an inefficient way of sorting | 18:07 |

sinkingfast | ok. the problem is that after installing ubuntu, windows 7 becomes unbootable. | 19:11 |
aguitel | eos, i will change the machine and going back | 19:11 |
wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, from the grub menu? | 19:11 |

BluesKaj | sinkingfast, isudo updaqte-grub in the terminal | 19:12 |
relipse | how come I don't have colors in screen (ubuntu), i'm using putty to connect | 19:12 |
sinkingfast | ok. wilee, this is how i go about it. i unplugged the sata cable from the win7 drive before installing ubuntu. plugged it in after the installation, and win7 drive won't boot up even if i unplugged the ubuntu sata cable. | 19:12 |
Zonko | SineTheCreator, wut | 19:13 |
sinkingfast | it somehow messed the boot file in windows 7 drive. | 19:13 |
wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, make sure the HD that ubuntu is in is first in the bios to be read, and run sudo update-grub in ubuntu with the windows HD plugged in. | 19:13 |
wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, unlikely any damage to windows, you just need the mbr of the ubuntu drive read for the boot first. | 19:14 |
sinkingfast | wilee, does it have anything with the sda, sdb designation? | 19:14 |

sinkingfast | wilee, thanks for the link. i'll look into it. right now, i'm afraid to dual boot since i don't know how to fix win 7 drive other than reinstalling it, which is a royal pain in the neck considering the amount of updates win 7 subject its users to. | 19:20 |
llutz | Rahul_21: so your issue is? | 19:20 |
genii-around | I'm pretty sure mysqld is an upstart and not sysvinit | 19:21 |
wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, I doubt any reinstall is needed this is a basic bootloader and file problem. ;) | 19:21 |
she_dyed | sinkingfast: your data is still there, ubuntu needs to be aware that theres win7 around | 19:21 |
earasteh_ | hi! Is there anyone who has worked with CAD or CAE programs in ubuntu or linux? I got some questions | 19:21 |
sinkingfast | wilee, you're probably right. it's just that i lack the technical know how. | 19:22 |
yousaf | she_dyed if I use WinSCP to edit the crontab, where would I actually find the file? | 19:22 |
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 |
bekks | yousaf: you should use ssh to run the command "crontab -e" | 19:23 |
she_dyed | yousaf: i am not familiar with winscp, that can't be linux right, lets go back to the original question. Do you have geany or gedit or someother gui editor maybe you just need to gksudo geany crontab | 19:23 |
l3n0x | yo | 19:23 |
she_dyed | its in /etc/ by the way yousaf | 19:23 |
sinkingfast | does ubuntu automatically find the driver for usb devices such as printer? | 19:23 |
Rahul_21 | llutz, cause when i run "sudo service mysqld start" i get" unrecognized service " | 19:23 |

sinkingfast | my samsung priver doesn't seem to work with ubuntu. | 19:23 |
sinkingfast | printer. | 19:24 |
llutz | Rahul_21: yes, the service name is "mysql" not mysqld | 19:24 |
wilee-nilee | an0n, about 3 to 4 gigs in one partition, with the updates-upgrades | 19:24 |
genii-around | Rahul_21: First thing is: just mysql without the d at the end. second thing: sudo start mysql ...because it's an Upstart job | 19:24 |
l3n0x | [ubuntu 12.04] why is it wehen i config the network via GUI, it wont appear on /etc/network/interfaces ?? | 19:24 |
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 |
Rahul_21 | genii-around, in my wiki i am getting a message cannot connect to database server, i guess it is because of this daemon | 19:26 |
wilee-nilee | sinkingfast, I'm going to reboot to ubuntu I will be back in a minute or so. | 19:27 |
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 |
llutz | genii-around: oh ok | 19:27 |
Rahul_21 | llutz, reply? | 19:28 |
sinkingfast | hmm. is ubuntu user friendly or does it take a lot of technical know how. | 19:28 |

wilee-nilee | an0n, So you want to have one partition or split the root and home, and how big do you want it. Your initial question was waht is the install basic size. | 19:30 |
sinkingfast | but it's probably years behind mac os? | 19:30 |

an0n | wilee-nilee: /, swap and /home | 19:31 |

Zonko | what was I supposed to do | 19:33 |
wilee-nilee | an0n, Good, so you the basic / size is about 20 gigs, home at least that if you want media....etc, swap should be equal to your ram if you want to hibernate. | 19:33 |
sinkingfast | i probably can't blame ubuntu. it's just that i'm a complete newbie and don't know how to fix or deal with boot file. | 19:33 |
Zonko | also | 19:33 |
trism | freiform: you are going to have to edit one of the makefiles and add -lm explicitly when linking | 19:33 |
an0n | the 3 separate partitions 10 gbs would be little for the root partition for programming, virtual machines and some software? | 19:33 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

wilee-nilee | mutante, Did you have a PPA of it that is not up to date yet? | 20:03 |

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 |

nickd123 | Its not a bad install I dont think, ISO was checked before, like I said I was forced to skip the grub install and finish the install without it, meaning its all there just nothing pointing too it now | 21:02 |

anton_eh | thank you | 21:02 |
wilee-nilee | nickd123, What command did you run to install grub? | 21:02 |
gustav | Is there a window manager which lets me move around windows as if they were particles in a particle system? | 21:03 |
=== knightshade2 is now known as knightshade | ||
gustav | I.e. move them like papers across a table covered in sand. | 21:04 |
nickd123 | I was trying grub-install /dev/ubuntu-root, also tried drive letters (split between sda and sdc) | 21:04 |
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 |
djhthoris | Gustav, so you want the windows to leave tracks on the screen when you move them? | 21:07 |
iandees | hi all, i just upgraded my server from lucid to precise and am seeing a huge jump in io service time reported by munin: http://osmus.osm.osuosl.org/munin/osm.osuosl.org/benzene.osm.osuosl.org/iostat_ios.html | 21:07 |
gustav | nickd123: First 512 bytes. | 21:07 |
iandees | any thoughts on why that might happen? | 21:07 |
gustav | djhthoris: I want to move them in angles. | 21:07 |
gustav | djhthoris: Like papers. Also tracks. Interact with eachother when I move them. | 21:07 |
wilee-nilee | nickd123, Chroot to the install put grub in the mbr and run a update-grub | 21:07 |
Marko | hi all!! I need some help with rinetd!!!! any expert? | 21:08 |
nickd123 | I dont see that size partition anywhere just the 4gb swap and large partition | 21:08 |
nickd123 | wilee do you have anything that explains that in further detail | 21:09 |
djhthoris | gustav, I'm not sure if xorg is even made for rotating windows at angles other than 90 degrees | 21:09 |
gustav | djhthoris: No, there's no argument or property for that, I guess. :/ | 21:09 |
MonkeyDust | gustav Wayland or Mir perhaps | 21:09 |
gustav | window.angle: 30. | 21:09 |
gustav | MonkeyDust: You're a bit predictable. | 21:09 |
OerHeks | gustav you might want to check #ubuntu-touch too, those guys are up2date | 21:10 |
gustav | OerHeks: I don't have touch. Stay on topic please. | 21:10 |
djhthoris | gustav, and WMs are limited by what the underlying xorg supports | 21:10 |
Marko | rinetd expert needed | 21:10 |
gustav | djhthoris: That's true. | 21:10 |
OerHeks | gustav 'move around as paper on sand" looks like microsoft surface. | 21:11 |
gustav | OerHeks: Hm, looks like nature. But if you're a MS fanboy.... | 21:11 |

Marko | I have a problem with rinetd, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Server i386. When I try to redirect port 1521 to other Oracle Server on same network | 21:13 |
thasmo | ubottu :> | 21:13 |
wilee-nilee | nickd123, First lets get the nickd correct tab complete nicks, a few letters of it and tab will complete. Here is a grub reload using chroot read carefuly it mentions raid, and remember I am not particularity familiar with raid. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot | 21:14 |
Marko | port is not redirected | 21:14 |

dlam | is there a command to show what a package installs and where? like on fedora its `rpm -q --list mysql-server` | 21:16 |

Marko | My Oracle server uses standard port 1521 and IP 192.168.10.215, I want to redirect connection through machine with IP 192.168.10.6 using same port 1521 directed to Oracle Server with rinetd redirector | 21:17 |

Marko | I tried to do that, but no port is opened :( | 21:17 |
lee | hello all. I have a new install of Ubuntu 12.04 set to auto-login. upon login the screen is so dim it's unreadable. logging out and logging back in again fixes it so it's at full brightness (and the livecd was fine too). how do I fix this permanently? (I have tried "acpi_osi=linux acpi_backlight=vendor" in /etc/default/grub, makes no difference, same behaviour whether that's present or not) | 21:19 |
nickd123 | ill try those your awesome wilee | 21:20 |
maedox | Hi guys, having some issues with my session after upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04. First login it was useless, but reinstalling nvidia drivers helped. Now I can't get to the Unity launcher. I've tried this: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/04/how-to-restart-unity-and-compiz-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/ to no avail. What's the best way to reset all my profile settings? (Guest login works fine) | 21:20 |
MonkeyDust | maedox ask in #ubuntu+1 | 21:20 |
dtigue | lee, what happens if you set it to NOT auto login? | 21:21 |
wilee-nilee | !13.04 > maedox | 21:21 |
ubottu | maedox, please see my private message | 21:21 |
dtigue | lee, does the screen look fine if you manually log in instead of auto-login? | 21:21 |
maedox | it is surely the same process as for 12.10. | 21:21 |
SebbaS | list! | 21:22 |
Ben64 | maedox: maybe, maybe not. either way support is in #ubuntu+1 until release | 21:22 |
IdleOne | maedox: 13.04 is not released yet and not supported in this channel until release. Please use #ubuntu+1 | 21:22 |
maedox | Haha, yeah, anyone else? :P | 21:23 |
maedox | I got it, asked there now. | 21:23 |
tgm4883 | !13.04 | maedox | 21:23 |

ubottu | kymesoul: #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! | 21:23 |
lee | dtigue: (checking ...) | 21:24 |
Zonko | Okay guys, I have a question. I have a ubuntu 6.10 iso and I'd like to use it to replace my current os, how would I go about doing that?> | 21:24 |
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 |
auronandace | !install | Zonko | 21:26 |
ubottu | Zonko: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 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 |
Zonko | How else can I install it | 21:28 |
k1l | Zonko: use usb-stick | 21:28 |
k1l | Zonko: or use a netinstall. or a mini-iso | 21:28 |
Zonko | hrm | 21:28 |
Zonko | well | 21:28 |
Zonko | how do I setup flash drive? | 21:28 |
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.

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 get a device not found error and everythign stalls | 22:01 |
centurion | dtigue, either I cant see the connector tab or it isn't there | 22:02 |
celso | people, how do i install ubuntu updates to a day defined by me? is there any way to do it? | 22:02 |
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 |

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 |

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 |
waterfoul_ | I'm trying to get xbmc running in standalone mode in ubuntu, I've setup my bash rc like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700063/ (edits are lines 108->110), my xinitrc like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700065/ and my /etc/init/tty1.conf like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5700067/ . While this starts xbmc just fine I get no audio devices in the audio screen. I'm guessing its because I disabled lightdm. Any idea what I need to add (probably t | 23:30 |
eedfwchris | jnc: rsync seems to work fine must be whatever rdiff-backup is doing to it? | 23:32 |
waterfoul_ | sorry bout that, i'm back | 23:34 |
eedfwchris | I think it's caps that are screwing it | 23:35 |
=== Karbowiak is now known as zz_Karbowiak | ||
eedfwchris | oh haha it's listed as #7 http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html | 23:38 |
eedfwchris | kinda bummer | 23:39 |
jnc | eedfwchris: sorry I wasn't quick to find that for you | 23:45 |
eedfwchris | no problem good to know :) | 23:45 |
eedfwchris | was kinda hard to find I was initially thinking it was a smbmount issue not rdiff | 23:45 |
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 |
Pinkamena_D | well just like before I can right click it, go to "authenticate" | 23:58 |
Pinkamena_D | type in the stuff and it works | 23:58 |
=== outlander is now known as Guest67797 | ||
Pinkamena_D | their is a domain box for that, but not when you set it up | 23:58 |
she_dyed | 'outlander' sounds better | 23:58 |
Guest67797 | hi all | 23:58 |
