submanI have a dual monitor setup with an nvidia card and the monitor on the crt-0 connector keeps turning to black and then back on again.  The monitor on the DFP-0 connector is unaffected and works perfectly.  If I take the monitor to another machine it does not do this.  Any ideas?00:02

dr_willis_what sort of crash exaxtly?00:46
keith_It crashes back to the system logon screen00:46
dr_willis_so X is crashing.. not really the 'system'00:47
dr_willis_but still thats weird.. wonder what the site is using. javam or flash or somthing else00:47
dr_willis_as a 'test' try a minimal window manager. lke open box. and see if the browser still crash X. if openbox works.. that points to some compiz/unity/composting type issue.00:48
keith_How do I find that out?00:48
dr_willis_if openbox also crashes. then that points to a deeper issue...00:48
dr_willis_sudo apt-get install openbox   and select openbox at the login screen00:48
dr_willis_if the site is using java. it could be you need a differnt java vm. but i would think it would print some errors.. not crash  the whole desktop.00:49

icedwateranonymousman: tgm4883 is suggesting you could plug it in, then type a command.01:36
icedwater'lsusb' will give a list of usb devices the system sees. So we can try to guess from there what is being recognised.01:37
anonymousmanno when i got it ,it came with a instalation disck,when i wanna get in through windows i just click VZWACCESS and then it shows bars and i hit connect..its a 4g01:37
tgm4883anonymousman, can you please follow the instructions01:37
icedwatervzwaccess, and 4G. Well anonymousman that is something to go on.01:38
icedwaterBut it seems to be a problem between Ubuntu and the dongle.01:38
anonymousmanim not in ubunto now im on windows..01:38
anonymousmansomeone mention something about sikis3g01:38
anonymousmanwould that help?01:38
icedwaterAh, well... then maybe in the VZWACCESS program, you have something like Device Information, or About... or something like that?01:38
tgm4883anonymousman, and I suppose that is your only access to the internet01:39
icedwaterTry to find out what model you have.01:39
anonymousmani just downloaded ubuntu like 8 days ago..im lost on everything and just learning01:39
rolla91runemoro: under system settings-system- the options are backup,details,management service, software sources, time and date, universal access, user accounts. no administration01:39

icedwateranonymousman: on IRC, uppercase is usually reserved for the beginning of sentences, acronyms or shouting.01:42
wilee-nileeanonymousman, Is there a receipt for the dongle on the verizon website naming the device?01:42
rolla91Runemoro: under additional drivers it saus "no proprietary drivers are in use" but when I am in this screen the lines dissapeer.01:43
icedwaterAlso, many clients have highlighting, so if you start a sentence with a name, that person will see your message in a different colour.01:43
wilee-nileeclicker4721, Run the bootinfo summary first and post the url if you like so we can take a look.01:43
icedwateranonymousman: like so.01:43
anonymousmanIcedwater my model is usb551L01:43

hoyangnvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.01:45
icedwateranonymousman: if it might be more than a few lines long, consider using http://paste.ubuntu.com/ :)01:45
anonymousmando u need the firmware version01:45
icedwaterThat could help.01:45
icedwaterBut anonymousman we will only be able to see the problem if you're on Ubuntu.01:45
hoyangubuntu support nvidia card now.01:45
icedwaterDo you remember what messages you get if the connection fails?01:46
icedwaterNot if, but when.01:46
rolla91Runemoro: 12.10 however the lines have dissapeered but the display seems unstable, blinking and such01:46
clicker4721wilee-nilee: Will do.01:46
Runemororolla91: The title of the window should be "Software & Sources". The tabs should be "Ubuntu Software", "Other Software", "Updates", "Authentification", "Additionnal Drivers"01:47
GammaX-2how can I find out which kernel im on?01:48
rolla91Runemoro: yes, that is where I am, I see nothing about nvidia in any tab01:48
icedwater...welp, he's off. I hope it's to track down error messages tgm4883.01:49
anonymousmanSorry @icedwater i got dissconnected01:49
icedwaterAh, there you are :)01:49
rolla91Runemoro: in the software sources/ additional drivers tab there is no information01:49
icedwaterStill on Windows?01:49
icedwaterSince you have Ubuntu on a USB stick, maybe you could use that to start another computer.01:50
icedwaterAnd see if the dongle has issues there.01:50
sparkssGammaX-2 : uname -a01:50
anonymousmanOK hang on01:50
GammaX-2sparkss,  gracias01:50
GammaX-2is a parport considered a serial device?01:51
anonymousmani will only have internet to one,but thats what ill do01:51
wilee-nileeanonymousman, I see a bug report and a fix in the kernel released, are you updated in ubuntu.01:51
icedwaterHmm, right01:51
icedwaterOh dear.01:51
icedwaterMaybe you should write down stuff, on paper or in a text file, then put it on paste.01:52
anonymousmanI only have the one broadband connection01:52
icedwateranonymousman: before you go01:52
icedwaterRemember to check lsusb and usb-devices.01:52
Runemororolla91: Ctrl-Alt-T and type: sudo nvidia-xconfig01:52
anonymousmanI was thinking of doing that as well, getting the stuff i need and putting in on word pad and printing it01:52
icedwaterThey do kind of the same thing, but lsusb is more concise.01:52
icedwaterYeah, I seldom print stuff :P But that's me. I'm a tree-hugging type, or I try to be.01:53
anonymousmanis that on ubuntu?01:53
GammaX-2I have a multi I/o Card and need to see if its possibly picking up the parrallel port and not just the serial ports... can someone advise?01:53
icedwaterYes, anonymousman, those two commands will need to be entered in the terminal though.01:53
GammaX-2please? :D01:53
anonymousmanlol01:53
icedwateranonymousman: you may have to press Ctrl-Alt-T to pull up a terminal.01:53
anonymousmanok and the termal u pull up by xtrl alt t right01:53
icedwater(once you go black, you never go back.)01:54
anonymousmanOk i did have that right01:54
rolla91Runemoro: Tried, says command not found01:54
icedwaterThe terminal is pretty useful :)01:54
anonymousmanso what will i type once there so i can paste it iv got my notebook open01:54
jab416171my laptop locks up all the time. I have no idea why, and I'd really like to get to the bottom of it.01:54
jab416171I ran a test to see if it was overheating (a couple for loops, watching the temps) and it got up to 80C, but it kept running just fine. Here's the logs from right before it crashed one time: https://gist.github.com/jab416171/5409690 (which is probably useless because the logs from the last time it happened are completely different)01:54
icedwateranonymousman: in the terminal, either lsusb or usb-devices01:55
anonymousmanhey jab have u tried cleanin your registry01:56
Runemororolla91: Type: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current01:56
wilee-nileejab416171, You mentioned swapping before, the computer can become unresponsive when swapping, could this be the case?01:56
anonymousmanIcedwater> ok i got that01:56
icedwaterWhat do you see?01:57
jab416171wilee-nilee: my swappiness is "1", and I have 4 GB of RAM. I haven't checked to see if I'm using up my memory, I'll do that now.01:57
anonymousmanicedwater> what is the reason it wont let me connect? when i installed it over windows one time it allowed me01:57
rolla91Runemoro: ran, says unable to locate package nvidia current01:57
icedwaterYes, Windows hides a lot of stuff from you, so you see very minimal feedback when things install.01:58
icedwaterIt looks like magic, but with Linux more often you see more.01:58
icedwaterThe trick is not to run away. :P01:59

dcopeubuntu.com says it only works completely if it's preinstalled but lenovo doesn't even offer that.02:00
dcopeicedwater: every single hardware feature02:00
icedwaterYes, I know it is unambiguous... are you asking for advice first or leading us up to a problem?02:01
icedwaterThat's more of what I meant.02:01
dcopeicedwater: i'm asking before i buy.02:01
dcopei don't want to drop almost 3 grand on a laptop if hardly anything works.02:01
icedwaterdcope: Good thinking.02:01
icedwaterBut don't you have the option to buy it with Windows first?02:01
dcopeYeah, that's the only option that lenovo seems to offer contrary to Ubuntu's website.02:02
icedwaterThen load up an Ubuntu live CD or USB, try Ubuntu as much as you like02:02
dcopeIf everything works, Ill buy this. Otherwise Ill buy the dell sputnik02:02
icedwaterThen install it if/when you're comfortable.02:02
dr_willis_sort of hard to justify 3 grand on a laptop these days02:02
dcopeicedwater: i have 0 intentions on using windows02:02

dcopedr_willis_: there's this (http://webapps.ubuntu.com/partners/oem/) but no links to actual models02:06
rolla91Runemoro: ran that, then it allowed me to get apt nvidia-current, still unstable, blinking and lines02:07
wilee-nileedcope, I believe the manufacturers have there own tweaked versions.02:08
dr_willis_i imagine the companies change stuff so fast its hard to keep updated02:08
dcopeah02:08
dcopedamn, all i want is an ubuntu machine that works. im so fed up with my macbook air. :(02:08
dr_willis_dell i think had a slightly tweaked ubuntu for their stuff..02:08

dr_willis_ive rarely had issues with  any laptops ive had on ubuntu.. see what system76 sells.. i thought  many of their machines are identicall/renamed/rebranded stuff from otehr makers02:09

dr_willis_dialog gives the old fashoned 'ncurses' type input dialog boxs' for user input.02:22
dr_willis_used by the package manager systgem and a few other scripts02:22
peaceblasteryeah, that02:23
Stanley00peaceblaster: I think just "dialog --help" is enough02:23
peaceblasterok, I mean I can get the interface up no problem I'm just confused about how its output works02:23
dr_willis_#1 question about the dialog stuff in here.. tends to be 'how do i click the ok button, when installing the ms fonts package'  ;) answer.. hit tab. then enter02:23
rolla91Runemoro: still doesn't detect wireless, computer has a physical switch for wireless on/off and now the switch does work to turn it on/off but it still doesn't detect any networks02:23

dr_willis_rolla91:  does the addational-drivers tool show any suggested drivers for it?02:28
icedwaterrolla91: are you dualbooting?02:28
rolla91dr_willis_ : no it doesnt02:28
dr_willis_rolla91:  also i lerned the hard way once..boot to wndows.. use the switch to make sure the caard is ON.. and never touch that switch under linux. ;)02:29
rolla91icedwater: no i am not02:29
icedwaterAh, OK.02:29

icedwaterrolla91: what is your wireless interface called?02:30
icedwaterOn ifconfig02:30
dr_willis_rolla91:  see if lspci shows the card also..   it might be sort of on./off ;) again.. i would boot to windows and make sure its on there..02:30
dr_willis_ive seen people spend an hr+ fighting with wifi cards.. only to discover the switch dosent work properly in linux.02:31
|nv|s|b|ejust make sure its on when you boot linux02:31

FirstmateHiyo, I'm having a strange issue. It seems that applications do not want to accept mouse clicking input.02:32
dr_willis_i had a similer issue once with a sound card..   a power on straight to linux worked.. a reboot from windows -> hardware dident work in linux.02:32
rolla91i am going to go through the guide ubottu left and try that02:32
FirstmateI can move my mouse around, but click (left/right) do not work.02:32
Firstmateclicking does*02:32
icedwaterFirstmate: that is indeed odd.02:32
FirstmateI can, oddly enough, use the top menubar (file, edit...etc)02:33
icedwaterAlso, if anonymousman ever comes back...02:33
dr_willis_Firstmate:  so the buttons are working.. in some apps...02:33
dr_willis_or some locations02:33
FirstmateIn no app.02:33
dr_willis_Firstmate:  see if it works properly in the guest session, or in other window managers would be a good test. this is a very weird bug.02:34
FirstmateOnly in Ubuntu related menus (like the launcher thingy, or the top navigational bar, or the unity launcher)02:34
FirstmateHow would I test the window manager part of your request?02:34
dr_willis_Firstmate:  you are running s normal unity setup? or have you customized anything?02:34
FirstmateIt's pretty much fresh02:34
dr_willis_Firstmate:  sudo apt-get install openbox , and select optnbox at the login screen to see if it works in  openbox.02:34
FirstmateI've installed some dev things (CS student in uni) like python, ruby..etc02:35
jeremiahAnyone know how i can get lightdm working again?02:35
dr_willis_also guest session in the login screen - may  shed some light on the issue02:35
FirstmateOk dr_willis_, I'm on the ubuntu system right now02:35
dr_willis_jeremiah:  sort of depends on how its broken.02:35
FirstmateSo I'll have to get off to try it.02:35
icedwaterFirstmate: not really.02:35
jeremiahWell, if i try to use it, i get the low graphics error02:35
dr_willis_Firstmate:  you can use a console based IRC client in the consoles to stay here as you log out/restart X and so forth02:35
icedwaterYou would need to try it on the Ubuntu system anyway...02:36
FirstmateWell I understand that, but I don't have a console irc cient setup atm.02:36
rolla91I followed the instructions in the link, still no wireless card connection02:36
icedwaterdr_willis_: yep, I like irssi for that. Also, Ctrl-Alt-F1 to F6 (for most cases) should open more consoles you can use.02:36
Firstmatesudo apt-get install irssi fine?02:36
icedwaterJust log in normally, Firstmate, then you can apt-get install irssi and set it up :)02:37

GammaXubuntu on mine02:38
icedwaterjeremiah: not too sure about that.02:38
icedwaterqiyong: these days it's ext4 I think.02:39
jeremiahicedwater,  what do you mean?02:39
icedwaterjeremiah: I mean I'm not sure how to help you. I suppose your ATI isn't cooperating...02:39
icedwaterSome people seem to have suggested things like setting acpi, nomodeset, etc at boot time...02:39
RubyChellosis it easy to mine bitcoins on linux?02:40
icedwaterBut it might be different.02:40
qiyongicedwater: is ext4 stable enough?02:40
jeremiahicedwater,  No, and itnever has. in the graphics card driver setting, i have no options. So i run off of the default fglrx or whatever it is02:40
Firstmatedr_willis_: I can't scroll up, was is openbox?02:40
Firstmateit*02:40
icedwaterFirstmate: yes, openbox is an alternate DM.02:40
icedwaterqiyong: I have had no problems so far.02:41
jeremiahicedwater,  though, this only happened not long ago. ubuntu has been running on it for a year now without issues...02:41
icedwaterjeremiah: just out of curiosity, do you remember vaguely when?02:41
jeremiahicedwater,  when it stopped working? two weeks ago. no one replied to my forum thread, so i came here02:42
icedwaterBecause then you might find more clues in /var/log/apt/02:42
icedwaterCould be something you upgraded that broke the driver...02:42
jeremiahthats what i am thinking02:42
chamunks!redis02:42
chamunks!redis-server02:43
icedwaterBut that would also be buried in a stack of other upgraded packages.02:43
jeremiahit happened right after an update, i had to restart it for that update02:43
icedwaterAt least you get some clues from history.log.02:43
icedwaterYou know what they say about those who don't learn from history...02:43
Firstmateicedwater: So terminals created with Cntrl-Alt-F1-6 stay active?02:43
icedwater...they're doomed to reboot it02:43
icedwaterFirstmate: yes, those are started by the system. I forget where you can specify how many you want.02:44
FirstmateIt's fine, just doing what dr_willis_ asked earlier.02:44
FirstmateNice to know this irssi stays open.02:44
icedwaterAh, OK.02:44
jiltdilcreate file name as /file . How to do that02:45
jeremiahicedwater,  i think i may have cleared my logs.. O_O02:45
Firstmate:V02:45
icedwaterjiltdil: not sure about that. What are you trying to do there?02:45
icedwaterjeremiah: is there anything other than .log in that directory?02:46
jiltdilicedwater, noting just checking to make file name using special characters02:46
Firstmateicedwater: So I changed the window manager to openbox, logged in. but ubuntu threw an error. I can't see anything on the screen, so...I don't know how to get out02:46
jeremiahicedwater,  in where? I cleared my home log files02:46

icedwaterjeremiah: in /var/log/apt/02:46

icedwaterThe system keeps those, you usually wouldn't have permission to delete them.02:47
jiltdilicedwater, like touch /\a     ?02:47
MicdiscI have a question about Kubuntu and Compiz if anyone can help02:47
jeremiahi do have that02:47
firstmateuhhh icedwater : How do you shut down via terminal?02:47
icedwaterjiltdil: Technically, yes.02:47
icedwaterBut I believe those \/ should be the other way round.02:48
jiltdilicedwater, not working .. it is making file in /02:48
icedwaterAnd will be interpreted first as paths.02:48
icedwaterSo permissions apply.02:48
icedwaterYep, it works for most other characters though. :P02:48
icedwaterfirstmate: sudo poweroff or reboot :)02:48
firstmateThanks.02:48
icedwaterfirstmate: wait02:48
firstmateGonna have to find out how to google in this terminal when I'm back :V02:48
icedwaterfirstmate: I didn't realise you were still here. :P02:48
firstmateI left, but didn't know how to shutdown...02:49
firstmatelol02:49
icedwaterI don't have a list of names on the side :P02:49
jeremiahicedwater,  yea, i have those files. but ubuntu updates like every two days, so i have no clue whatsoever...02:49
firstmateI'll be back later.02:49
firstmateexit02:49
icedwaterjeremiah: maybe go to as close as possible to where the problem began?02:49
jeremiahicedwater,  what do you mean?02:49
icedwaterfirstmate / Firstmate isn't one to wait :/02:49
icedwaterjeremiah: look around for the upgrade commands near about 2 weeks ago, since you say the problem started occurring then...02:50
jeremiahicedwater,  i found the exact date, i made a facebook update when it happened about it :P02:50
icedwaterAlso, will all the full-time Ubuntu support staff here raise their hands? :P02:50
jeremiahicedwater,  could that help?02:50
icedwaterjeremiah: it could. That would narrow down your search through the logs.02:51
icedwater(I was making a point. There are probably -no- full-time support staff here.)02:51
jeremiahicedwater,  but how do i tell what date the log was?02:51
icedwaterjeremiah: well, in /var/log/apt/history.log, each block of updates is preceded by the date when the command began.02:52

icedwaterIf they are apt-get --yes then it's probably automatic updates? I'm not sure about that though.02:54

GrivvelOr is there a way to see what caused it to install?03:23
jordan__did you try purging?03:24
GrivvelNo, I haven't. I'll try that. Is it possible for a program to re-install itself if you don't purge?03:25

joshuakadeWhat do I need to do in order to increase the amount of space Ubuntu can use?03:48
dr_willis_yea. makes me wonder if there shouldent be some sort of startup check to clean out older x org log error files.. or try to break them down into smaller chunks so older ones can get removed03:48

bigbadbeneither way your sda2 and sda5 look like they are overlapping you might want to ask on a second opinion tho04:17

dr_willis_sda1 and sda2 look like they are overlapping by 10 blocks here.04:22
dr_willis_sda 1,2,3,4 would be primaries..  a logcal would be sda5+04:22

IdiothelpWell, back to a terminal and still can't see.anyrhing. any other ideas? :(04:58
dr_willis_you mean a CONSOLE?04:59
dr_willis_or are you at a  low res X session?04:59
IdiothelpI can put commands into a terminal04:59
Streppyhello all, how do I make LoveFilm work in ubtuntu 12.04?05:00
dr_willis_are you in X now? or are you at the CONSOLE?05:00
IdiothelpX session05:00
IdiothelpAwesome, specifically05:00
dr_willis_so how did you login if you cant see?05:00
IdiothelpI just typed my password in05:00
IdiothelpI'm sure I'm at a yerminal because reboot now temporarily shuts off mouse/keyboard05:01
riddribTo install LOVEFiLM run the following command in a new Terminal window:05:01
riddribsudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lovefilm-desktop05:01
dr_willis_so you basically have a low res screen? or is part of the monitor/screen not showing?05:01
StreppyThanks, what about the MS Silverlight software??05:01
IdiothelpNo screen at all05:02
dr_willis_Streppy:  good luck getting silverlight working in wine.. its doable but a challange.05:02
dr_willis_Idiothelp:  so how did you verify you deleted the xorg.conf?05:02
IdiothelpI ensured that I typed it correctly05:02
IdiothelpAlso I tried locatong pne beforehand05:03
dr_willis_Idiothelp:  and why dident you just go to the alt-ctrl-f1 console ?05:03
dr_willis_or use ssh if you can ssh in from a differnt box05:03
IdiothelpThat doesn't work either :/05:03
IdiothelpCtrl alt f105:03
Streppywhat do I need to do in Wine? You make it sound like it's not possible which is a bit scary as I'm a complete beginner on ubuntu.05:04
Idiothelpdoesn't work05:04
dr_willis_i would suggest rebooing into text mode and see if the consoles work and verify the xorg,conf file is gone and see if you can start a x session from the text consoles05:04
IdiothelpThere wasn't an xorg.conf in the.first place05:04
IdiothelpOnly xorg.conf05:04
dr_willis_Streppy:  silverlight is not going to be easy to get going in wine at all..  its taken a LONG time for someone to get netflix with silverlight working in wine05:05
Idiothelp.d folder with input srttings05:05
dr_willis_Idiothelp:  and a user running an xrandr command would not affect the whole system.. so you got somthing very odd going on05:05

JPmKHello, I am trying to install firefox manually. What I have done: downloaded the last version of firefox, untar the package, move it to /usr/lib and made a symlink in this way: ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-20.0/firefox /usr/bin/firefox. But when i try to run firefox, it says: bash: /usr/bin/firefox: No such file or directory. I checked in /usr/bin with "ls -l" -> firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox-20.0/firefox* (it looks fine to me). Why it doesn't work? Please, I would like05:08

Bodsdalinuxdumb: ok, a linux filesystem structure starts at / and the bit your used to seeing is in /home/username/ - when you mount another system, its / is at the mountpoint on whatever other system your using, so all files from /mount/mydevice  are the same as the files from / if you booted into that system06:59

Dr_Willis-seen varioys work arounds.. such as fullscreening the thing, holding shift, and i seem to recall a few other tricks from ages past..07:29
Dr_Willis-i think holding the right mouse button and clicking  with the left also worked for some people07:29
Dr_Willis-this was a common flash issue a few months/year back07:30
Biomechdfullscreening the game window didn't work. i even tried popping the game out into a second window and fullscreening it.07:30
anekswould sudo apt-get install grub /dev/sdb install grub onto a different disk?07:30
histoBiomechd: there was a page on adobe's site where you could adjust your flash settings was the old workaround. Not sure if it's still there.07:30
histoaneks: you don't install grub that way07:31

hje841This is critical: can anybody help me restore my resolution settings as in nvidia xserver settings in 12.04? right now I'm suck with 640x48007:35
Dr_Willis-hje841:  run the nvidia-settings tool to verify the nvidia drivers are in use yet? and try changeing res  with it?07:36
Gabouhje841, apt-get install xrandr arandr07:37
GabouAnd launch arandr for set your resolution07:37
hje841Dr_willis, it claims that it is not in use, but I'd like it to be07:37
Dr_Willis-hje841:  reinstall the nvidia drivers then and see if you can get them used.07:37
hje841how?07:38
Dr_Willis-if they are not in use. your xorg.conf may be causing an issue. if it exists07:38
Dr_Willis-hje841:  have they ever worked? how did  you install them befor?07:38
hje841Dr_willis, using the 'restricted driver' thingy07:39
Dr_Willis-12.04 -> run 'jockey-gtk' and see what drivers are in use or suggested for the system07:39
vnc78600:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d00007:39
Dr_Willis-hje841:  so rerun that ;)07:39
vnc786Dr_Willis: i tried proprietary drivers it didnt help ...07:39
vnc786Dr_Willis:  do any other driver will work i dont know but something "common driver"  which i can download07:40
hje841Dr_willis, okay, now I can't see the 'OKAY' button :S07:40
Dr_Willis-vnc786:  you are thinking with a windows mentality.   the default X setuo has most of the drivers allready. the proparity ati and nvidia drivers are about the only 2 you will ever need to install manually.07:40
hje841Dr_willis, I had to resize the window07:40
Dr_Willis-hje841:  hold alt key. and click and drag  window around perhaps..07:41
Dr_Willis-vnc786:  the default radeon/ati driver can give basic funcationality for most cards.. but i rarely use ati. the fallback would be the vga/vesa drivers.. which would be slow i imagine.07:41
Dr_Willis-the fglrx drivers would be best, if you can get them working07:42
hje841Dr_willis, the 'Additional Drivers' installation failed. /var/log/jockey.log talks about KMH enabled: false and 'alt_ld.so.conf'07:45
Dr_Willis-hje841:  never seen  those kind of messages befor. You may want to check the forums and askubuntu.com for the exact wording of the errors07:46
hje841Dr_willis, okay. thanks :)07:47
Dr_Willis-or just try instaslling 'nvidia-current'  with apt-get07:47
hje841Dr_willis, well.. nvidia-current is already the newest. not just activated07:48
Dr_Willis-so 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' says its allready installed eh?07:48
hje841yup07:49
hje841hmm.. in the forums they suggest --reinstall nvidia-current. I'll try that07:49

Dr_Willis-ddssc:  err..i just plug mine in and they work.07:53
Dr_Willis-vnc786:  if its using the 'vesa'' driver that would explain the slowness.  Intel has some tool now to install their latest drivers.  i saw it mentioned on the webupd8 blog site. (or was it the omgubuntu blog site)07:55
ddsscDr_willis: xrandr doesn't detect it.. which is funny because it's showing a logo, I just can't get to it07:55
Dr_Willis-ddssc:   was it plugged in when you powered on the pc? or did you plug it in after system was booted?07:56

jstrakeWait, my bad. Not in home. In lib. Still safe to remove?08:07
Dr_Willis-jstrake:  if you have a lot of kernels instgsalled.. you may want to use the package manager to remove the kernels..08:07
TakeItEZjstrake: remove the unneded packages, not the files/dirs08:07
jstrakeThank you. How do I do this?08:08
Dr_Willis-jstrake:  use the package manager to remove the unused kernels..08:09

stevenmLets say I want 12.04 - but I want the latest GNOME 2.x - Tried MATE, it's fine except for things that look for gnome or gconf and fail - So I'd like real GNOME 2.x - is there a ppa for it?08:12
Dr_Willis-stevenm:  gnome2 is basically dead..08:13
Dr_Willis-i doubt if you can get it on newer ubuntu systems with out breaking things badly08:13
stevenmDr_willis, I don't care - it'll do for now until MATE matures/fixes-the-bugs or until I'm happier with another DE all together08:13
Dr_Willis-it it cant be done you wont care.. because it cant be done..08:14
sveinseI dont get it. I cant my Logitech USB headset mic to work anymore. It has been working flawlessly for over two years. Pavucontol report just silence from mic and alsamixer sais mic is fully on. I'm running precise on amd6408:14
sveinseHow can I fix this?08:14
stevenmare you saying that on some kind of basis?08:14
Dr_Willis-gnome-shell is working on a better fallback mode for the next release of gnome-shell. of if you want an old skool desktop - many people use lubuntu, or xfce08:14
stevenmyawn08:14
bazhangstevenm, search the ppa. thats not supported here.08:15
=== kevin is now known as Guest29733
stevenmMATE is based on GNOME 2.32 right?  so if MATE is compatible by adding a PPA for itself and dependencies - so could the original GNOME 2.3208:15
bazhangstevenm, its not supported, thus offtopic08:16
Dr_Willis-never seen  a ppa for gnome2 mentioned in here.08:16
bazhangstevenm, gnome the coming version will have a fallback option, as was mentioned08:16
stevenmbazhang, well a) that's not here yet b) i don't trust it'll work the same08:17
Dr_Willis-i imagine once the gnome devs have a nice official fallnback mode.. these other 'gnome 2 wanna bes' will fade away08:17
bazhangstevenm, and this has nothing to do with ubuntu.   MATE is an unsupported PPA, go search the ppa if you wish08:17
Dr_Willis-but getting that release of gnome-shell working - will require 13.04+ from what i hear.08:17
sveinseThe problem with the "missing" USB mic seems to have come with a recent kernel or update or something. It's fails consistently across multiple USB headsets08:17
Dr_Willis-sveinse:  try the older kernels from the grub menu to see if it comes back?08:18
stevenmeverything i've read says the fallback mode is scrapped08:18
Dr_Willis-latest gnome shell news for 3.8 ive read mentioned how they are having their own official  gnome2 theme08:19
bazhangstevenm, thats not correct. this is from GNOME, not UBUNTU08:19
jstrakeThank you Dr_Willis! Gave me nearly 4G back!08:19
Dr_Willis-jstrake:  you had a lot of old kernels :)08:19
Noskcaj10is anyone online with experience coding testdrive?08:20
stevenmbazhang, yeah I'm reading that from GNOME08:20
jstrakeYes! And I'm still not sure why it has been saving them. I only have GRUB set up to keep the most recent copy or two.08:20
jonyhow can I open remote desktop in Haguichi with Remmina?08:21
TakeItEZtime to add an option to remove old kernels in the system-settings (or wherever). except for devs it's nonsense to keep more than 2-3 kernels in a system08:21
Dr_Willis-http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/10-best-features-in-gnome-3-808:21
Dr_Willis-'classic mode'08:21
Dr_Willis-jstrake:  grub just displays the last 2.. thats noting to do witth what the package manager installs08:22
ddsschow do I install nvidia drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html08:22
Dr_Willis-TakeItEZ:  the computer-janitor tool used to be able to remove old kernels.. but that app got removed.. ;0 i recall it had a  tedency to remove all the  kernels. ;)08:22
l057c0d3rDr_willis, i believe ubuntu-tweak still have the option to remove old kernels08:23
Dr_Willis-i havent had much luck getting ubuntu-tweak to work lately.. but i havent really needed it much lately either.08:24
TakeItEZDr_Willis-: "all the kernels" might be a bit overzealous08:24

dr_willis_you dont need an xorg.conf from what ive seen. except in some cases these eats10:07
maximilianodr_willis_, in the terminal, do i just use this as "nvidia-settings"?10:07
dr_willis_days..    ";-)10:07
dr_willis_its an x app10:07
PAE_ok, theadmin, is it correct that i dont need it then (see my lshw  message), GreenTuxer?10:07
theadminPAE_: Well, yes10:07
PAE_thx, theadmin!!!10:08
dr_willis_install drivers. reboot.  run nvidia-setti gs  to tweak the system10:08
maximilianodr_willis_, i did it and it opened a window about the nvidia settings. it seems it worked well, my only concern is that in the website i first mentioned the person who wrote it indicated that the "nvidia-xconfig" step is essential because they ended up with a black screen after rebooting when they skipped it10:09
maximilianowell, i'll try rebooting and if there are no problems i'll come back for some advice on installation of cuda toolkit. brb10:11
maximilianodr_willis_ thanks for your time, btw10:11
maximilianoi'm back, it seems it worked well10:13
maximilianohowever, in system settings>details in Graphics it indicates "unknown", should this be nvidia?10:14
kewelthen I upgrade pepperflash with https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash .. and youtube still tells me I need to upgrade flash..10:16
kewelWhitt's End -- no u turns allowed10:16
kewelwell shoot.  see a discrepancy with version numbers.10:18
theadminkewel: Why not just use Chromium?10:24
contrapunctuskewel: What's wrong with the adobe flash plugin package in the repos?10:24
keweloh boy10:25
keweleither chrome or chromium would be great as long as flash would work10:25
architmorning, evening, afternoon10:26
kewelall I know is that this new pepperflash is what I'm supposed to get working .. and disable adobe flash10:26
theadminkewel: Use Chromium + Adobe Flash, that works fine10:26
kewelI'll try again .. bbin510:26
ddsscwhat's the eaiest way to remove ubuntu or any other linux on a win/linux dual boot machine?10:27
ddsscI want to uninstall mint and install ubuntu. got a mint/win dual boot right now.10:28
keweltheadmin: when I use the adobe flash it says failed to load .. when I disable adobe flash it says I need to upgrade my flash .. I suppose it's falling back on the pepper flash.10:28
architDelete Linux Partitions10:28
theadminkewel: Maybe, but use Chromium. Chrome isn't exactly supported by Ubuntu or Canonical10:28
kewelright .. same for both tho10:29
k1l_ddssc: just install ubuntu onto the mint partition10:29
ddssck1l_, can I reformat the partition and install ubuntu over it from ubuntu install dvd ?10:29
keweltheadmin: this is what I'm trying to get working right now: https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash10:29
k1l_ddssc: yes.10:29
ddssck1l_, I don't want to have mint and whatnot left in my boot menu.10:30
contrapunctusAnyone know of a quick, memory-light way to play mp3s in the CLI? Purpose - I'm making a bash script, part of which is required to play audio files.10:30
theadminddssc: You can choose to replace Mint10:30
theadmincontrapunctus: mplayer would work fine10:30
k1l_ddssc: ubuntu installs a own bootloader10:30
keweltheadmin: this http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086 says I need to use pepper10:30
kewelsays what's integrated rather...10:31
ddssctheadmin, ok. I just don't want any unwanted conflicts. want a fresh install formated partition etc.10:31
theadminkewel: That applies to Chrome. Chromium works fine with Adobe's Flash.10:31
architk1l, u have to restore the MBR10:31
contrapunctustheadmin: Thanks, will check it out.10:31
keweltheadmin: okay .. any idea what version I should be looking for?10:31
architboot from windows dvd and choose Repair10:31
ruanthree times the power10:32
k1l_archit: no10:32
archit?10:32
k1l_archit: read what he wants. he want to remove some other linux and install ubuntu onto that part10:32
architsince u have installed win and then nix i think u r using GRUB10:32
jonyhow can I set vino to autostart with system (before login)?10:32
architohh..10:33
clarkkI am having a few problems with my two displays connected to a nvidia geforce GTS 240. I want the larger one to be my primary display, on the left, but when I boot up all the kernel and init output shows on the seconary. Does anyone know how I can change that please?10:33
ddssck1l_, aye. so I was wondering about the order of things I should do. reformat partition first or just do it staright from ubuntu install dvd ?10:33
architthen u can directly install ubuntu on linux paratation , just remove / delete it when ubuntu asks where to install10:33
Dr_willisjony,  im not sure you can with vino. If you want a vnc session you can connect to starting at bootup. theres other ways to do that. depending on the detils of what you want10:33
k1l_ddssc: there is no need to seperately format before starting with the install run. just check the option to format at install10:34
theadminkewel: Version of what? sudo apt-get install chromium-browser flashplugin-installer10:34
Dr_willisclarkk,  that would be how the bios works.. Mine does the same thing.  POST, grub and other items are on the DVI conevtor here.. untill X starts up then the hdmi kicks in10:34
keweltheadmin: I'm laughing cause that SHOULD work!!!10:34
clarkkalso, I really need to close X so that I can install the driver, but when I click one of the function keys to go to the shell without X, the primary display loses its signal. Does anyone knw how I can resolve that too?10:34
clarkkhello Dr_willis10:35
jonyDr_willis, I want remote desktop from Ubuntu desktop to another Ubuntu desktop10:35
ddssck1l_, I got a separate drive for swap right now as per this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdcH_mcWVMs tutorial. Can I assign the swap drive to ubuntu ?10:35
Dr_willisclarkk, boot to text mode perhaps10:35
ddsscdo I have to?10:35
jonyDr_willis, and I cannot use portforwarding10:35
kewelalready installed.10:35
ddsscdoes ubuntu need a swap drive?10:35
k1l_ddssc: yes, just assign it to /swap in the dialog10:35
kewelman I had stuff working alright, then a few nights ago I did 189 updates and stuff went awry10:35
clarkkDr_willis: so there is no way to change them over without swapping them on the card?10:35
theadminddssc: It doesn't need one, but it's recommended10:35
Dr_willisjony,  err.. yes.. vnc is for remote desktops..  what does port forwarding have to do with it? You want to use vnc over the internet? you should setup a ssh tunnle for that.10:36
ddssck1l_, alright cheers.10:36
Dr_willisclarkk,  not that ive seen.10:36
ddsscwill post results10:36
architk1l, i thought he want to remove linux part. once it for all10:36
k1l_ddssc: it doesnt need  /swap. that depends on your ram and workflow10:36
jonyDr_willis, however, all is set up and working with hamachi + vino, but vino starts only AFTER login :(10:36
keweltoo awry.  so being nice and rash I did a fresh install .. then got all my updates then went on the quest to get youtube back up10:36
Dr_willisjony,  make lightdm auto login your user perhaps?10:36
kewelI'm worried lubuntu doesn't like my olda$$ putor anymore.10:36
kewelI should said that hours ago, right?10:36
jonyDr_willis, I want an unattended access on the remote pc10:36
keweljust a hunch10:36
* theadmin is happy here with Firefox :P10:37
clarkkDr_willis: ok, that's a minor inconvenience. However, I really need to be able to use the F keys to get to the shell. It worked before the latest kernel update. Do you know how I can resolve this?10:37
kewelshyea .. I _ran_ chromium instead of firefox cause this machine has 512 ram10:37
jonyDr_willis, but I want some kind of security on the remote desktop too since I won't be there phisycally10:37
clarkkDr_willis: but, how do I boot to text mode, incidentally?10:37
Dr_willisjony,  you can set up vnc servers to start automatically and not even have X loaded at all. those sessions would not be visible on the local machine either.. vnc is a flexiable tool. VINO is only one way to be using it.10:37
keweland heck it was long ago when I got stuff working, I think I had problems with flash and ff too.  oh well.10:38
Dr_willisjony,  you way.. the desktop would be totally visible to whoever is in the same room as the pc.10:38
kewelas in, that was another reason I used chrome10:38
Dr_willisclarkk,  edit the /etc/default/grub and put in the text option 'quiet splash text'10:38
Dr_willisclarkk,  or for one time usssage.... edit the grub menu line10:38
Dr_willis!text10:38
ubottuTo 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%20Mode10:38
jonyI didn't installed any VNC... only openssh and vino on the remote desktop10:40
jonyDr_willis, I didn't installed any VNC... only openssh and vino on the remote desktop10:40
Dr_willisjony,  and vino is one specilized vnc server.10:40
Dr_willisjony,  theres several others out there.10:41
Dr_willistightvnc, vnc4server, x11vnc10:41
jonyDr_willis, so I can install a VNC server wich will connect to remote without showing anything on the remote PC's display?10:41
Dr_willisjony,  thats how MOST vnc servers work.. vino and x11vnc show the current desktop.. tightvnc, vnc4server and others DONT show the current desktop.10:42
clarkkDr_willis: than you - I will give that a go, and report back10:42
Dr_willispeople think vnc on linux can only work by shareing the current desktp. :) thats not the case on linux.. it is the case on windows10:42
jonyDr_willis, which do you recommend for my situation?10:43
Benkinoobyhi, i want to mount something to ~/blah - but when i use mount, i have to use root-account and later i can not access the mounted files (permission) - how do i go about that?10:43
kewelhow do I get this: https://launchpad.net/~skunk/+archive/pepper-flash/+build/435424910:43
kewelthat's my chromium ver10:43
Dr_willisjony,  you have really not given any details.  You can easially set up tightvnc where your user can ssh in, and then start the vncservice, then connect via any client.. but if you are doing this over the internet. you will wan tto set up a ssh tunle. or just use ssh + x forwarding to forwared single apps.10:44
Dr_willisBenkinooby,  make a proper fstab entry for the filesystem would be one way10:44
=== JoFo__ is now known as JoFo_
BenkinoobyDr_willis: fstab would be permanent? also its a windows share i want to mount10:46
BenkinoobyDr_willis: i just need it from time to time...10:46
Dr_willisBenkinooby,  you can use the user/noauto option in fstab and mount it as a user when needed10:46
Dr_willisor just browse the share with nautilus. or some other tools to access the share10:47

Dr_willisBenkinooby,  nautilus uses gvfs correct.. if you are using gnome/unity and nautilius it would be an option....10:48
Dr_willismany other file managers can also browse samba shares10:48
jonyDr_willis, connecting via hamachi it doesn't require an SSH tunnel, right?10:48
Dr_willisive neer used hamachi - so no idea what it does jonathaN10:49

adrianrhnibblier_ what is an ipc? and what do you mean by locking?11:09
adrianrhnibbler_11:09
adrianrh^^11:10
subaashadrianrh: ipc is inter process commn.11:10
nibbler_adrianrh: inter process communication. like locking. before entering the memory intense part check for existance of /tmp/my.lock, if its there, wait a bit, recheck. if its not there, create it, do memory intense stuff, delete it.11:11
nibbler_adrianrh: the important thing is to do things atomar to avoid race conditions11:12
MoooookiEHi, can someone please tell me why the older installation of ubuntu 12.04 have the 3.2 kernel but the server I set up last week with 12.04 have the 3.5 kernel?11:15
adrianrhnibbler_ thankyou for your help, I have written down your advice and will try to use it. saidly the scripts i need to run are not atomar and I cannot spit them (they are written elsewhere), I will try the tmp/my.lock thing and look into ipc.11:16

ubottuFiles with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression13:20
ActionParsniptarek_: is it in ~/.config13:20
k1lNewber: are you sure that program doesnt come in the repos?13:21
ActionParsnipNewber: the file extension doesn't tell us anything13:21
yourimym1what is best swap value for better performance ?13:21
k1lNewber: andthere should be a readme in it, or the place where you ot that archive (tar.gz is a archive like .zip)13:21
tarek_ActionParsnip: yes there is13:21
yourimym1if i have 2gb RAM and 1.5 gb swap13:21
ActionParsnipyourimym1: depends on how much ram you have13:21
tarek_ActionParsnip: there is a tryton folder in .config13:22
k1lyourimym1: there is no performance with swap13:22
k1lyourimym1: swap is always a slow fallback. using ram is always faster13:22
Newberkll, ok I will look. Thanks13:22
ActionParsnipyourimym1: 1.5Gb swap space isn't really enough for 2Gb RAM, you will want 2.2Gb, you will not be able to hibernate with 1.5Gb swap13:22
yourimym1ActionParsnip: i've disabled hibernate13:22
ActionParsnipyourimym1: I always set swappiness to between 5 and 1013:22
k1lNewber: what program do you want to install?13:23
tarek_ActionParsnip: from where do I go from here?13:23
ActionParsnipNewber: its like asking the same in windows, the archive could contain source code, or binaries, or a mix13:23
=== erry_ is now known as erry
ActionParsnipNewber: there is no single answer, simply saying that it is an archive and expecting an exact answer is a bit silly13:24
ActionParsnipNewber: is the application not in software centre?13:24
yourimym1ActionParsnip:  i need to set swap to 40 , what is the command13:24
NewberActionParsnip. Well, calling me silly is pretty silly itself. Think about it. What can I do with a file container.. Hmmmm. Maybe I want to extract it and install the content right?13:24
julian-delphikiyourimym1, 40 what13:24
ActionParsnipyourimym1: set it in /etc/sysctl.conf    you can then run:  sudo sysctl -p   to apply it13:25
ActionParsnipNewber: but what is the content, the fact it is an archive doesn't dsclose the contents, does it?13:25
SpawnXpHi i deleted the user from webmin, but didnt delete his files , how do i go about deleting his files ?13:25
yourimym1ActionParsnip: which line to edit  ?13:25
ActionParsnipNewber: some archives you can extract and run the files as they are prebuilt files, some contain source  code which will need compiling13:26
ActionParsnipyourimym1: just add the setting at the bottom13:26
ActionParsnipNewber: like I said, there is no single answer13:26
ActionParsnipNewber: the archive could be a hoarde of wallpapers to apply to the system, in which case the archive will be full of images, again this will be different13:27
julian-delphikiNewber, ActionParsnip is correct.13:27
k1lNewber: first way should be to look if its in the official ubuntu repos13:27
NewberActionParsnip, true. I shouldve been more specific. But as I said install its pretty obvious i do not want to install pictures. I mean its possible in one sense.. Nvm, this discussion is useless13:28
yourimym1ActionParsnip:  and disable , and reenable swap then ?13:29
k1lNewber: there are several different ways to "install" programs. that is depending on that format is in that archive. like source code, .sh .deb etc...13:29
ActionParsnipNewber: try extracting the archive, then look at what you have13:30
ActionParsnipNewber: you will then know and you can ask  better question13:30

lacrymologyhow come I have kernel 3.2 when 3.8 is out? how can I install 3.8 on precise?13:41
k1llacrymology: you can get the 3.5 kernel on precise.13:42

cfhowlettlacrymology, I beg to differ.  I've had at least 2 kernel upgrades on 12.0413:43
k1llacrymology: LTS is meant for stability. it wont have the latest kernel and latest stuff13:43
lacrymologyk1l: fantastic. But the current kernel is broken. It's got at least a known issue that is fixed in later versions13:44

k1l!kernel | lacrymology13:48
ubottulacrymology: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)13:48
MonkeyDustlacrymology  true, 3.8 is out and 13.04 uses it13:49
lacrymologyk1l: yeah, but in the mainline kernel page there seems to be no 3.8 package for precise. Latest seems to be 3.313:49
cfhowlettlacrymology, if the latest shiny kernel isn't offered via upgrade, as I would expect for LTS, you might have to manually install13:49

aneksmojtaba, maybe try Gparted?14:39
mojtabaaneks: Can I format it, low level?14:40
BluesKajlow level format , means ? mojtaba14:40
userfor italc, the master interface must be installed on a Server or it can be good for Desktop version14:40
=== mdih is now known as mihd
mojtabaBluesKaj: Actually the hard disk had some problems and I want to make sure that after formatting it, the problems are fixed.14:40
aneksmojtaba, you should be able to. I'd download gparted and try.14:41

chroif I reduce the icon size in the unity bar, they stay with a poor quality. Why?14:48
theadminchro: That ain't supposed to happen, try restarting unity (e.g. logging out and back in), might be some drawing issue14:48
mojtabaBluesKaj: ?!14:49
litropyYep, works.14:49
chrotheadmin, already did that, but the issue persists14:49
subthalamusis there another method to enable ipv6 in quantal besides sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 ?14:50
trejiinOn mint 14, would apt-get dist-upgrade take me to ubuntu 13.04?14:51
litropychro, the images for the icons come in packs of different resolutions ... Say, one image is 24x24 pixels, then 48x48, 128x128, et cetera, If you size the buttons to something inbetween, it's subject to compression artifacts. Although it shouldn't be all that noticeable.14:51

litropymojtaba, afak, any level of formatting a drive will wipe it clean.14:54
litropymojtaba, you'll lose all your files.14:54
litropymojtaba, but ya, it will reset to default settings, and you should be able to use it, mind you,, as a totally blank drive.14:54
mojtabalitropy: I know that, I have just copied those I could.14:54
mojtabalitropy: Will it fix the problems like bad sectors?14:55
litropymojtaba, so ya ... use a liveCD or liveUSB, open up gparted, and go ahead.14:55
litropymojtaba, it will set all the bits on the drive to 0.14:55
mojtabalitropy: Why liveCD?14:55
mojtabalitropy: I have ubuntu and it is external hard drive14:56
litropymojtaba, if your drive is physically failing, it won't fix that.14:56
mojtabalitropy: How can I make sure if it is physically or not?14:56
litropymojtaba, so long as you're not running your OS off of the drive, then you can use gparted without the liveCD/liveUSB14:56
something323where canI get "gpart" I an trying data recovery with gparted and it says I am missing thecommand gpart and to install It but I cant ifnd any info through a google search14:56
mojtabalitropy: Is there any log file or utility which can find if it is physically failing or not?14:57
anekssomething123, you mean gparted? tried sudo apt-get install gparted?14:57
litropymojtaba, off-hand, I'd say if you reformat it, treat it like you should, and you still have drive-related problems, it's pretty safe to say it's physically failing.14:58
something323no, the exact word is "gpart" gparted itself runs fine, but to run the data recovery it gives an error14:58
mojtabalitropy: Then there is no way to fix it? :(14:59
ActionParsnipsomething323: you may find data recovery success with foremost14:59
DoxinI've got a bit of a problem with this R.A.T.5 mouse I have. it has some extra buttons, holding button #12 and then clicking button #1 seems to send it as some sort of combined press which makes programs ignore it. is there some way to make these buttons send separate events?14:59
litropymojtaba, you could send it in for repair ... but with the way drives are coming down in price these days, you might spend the money on just a new drive with more storage capacity.15:00
something323well the problemis that I was already trying to fix an overlapping partition in partitionmagic when the computer froze, so not its even more screwed up15:00
something323now*15:00
litropymojtaba, but you're getting ahead of yourself. Try reormatting it and see how it goes.15:00

bitbyteany one any good with the noip2 client15:15
wilee-nileeubuntu_, Yes use the something other option in the install gui and manually install it.15:15
ubuntu_Yeah, a persistent install so that I dont have to click on Try Me everytime I boot and so I can install stuff.15:15

wilee-nileeubuntu_, How big is the stick?15:17

ubuntu_I used the LinuxPendriveinstaller to make this stick I am using now.15:17
MonkeyDustubuntu_  no, that's enough for a live installation15:18
wilee-nileeubuntu_, Please use nicks always. ;) A persistent install has a casper-rw file that fills up after awhile and is basically uncleanable it has limited use, a kernel upgrade can brick it as well. However you can have flash.15:18
bitbyteany one in here any good at making cron schedules or know any good guides, I'm looking to run the noip2 client every 30 mins as the client its self for some reason dosnt run and I've found nothing in the /var/syslog15:19

mstentaHey all, I'm looking for some advice… I would like to create an encrypted (via TrueCrypt) USB Drive that contains a VirtualBox image. I'd like to be able to load the VM on either a Mac or a Linux laptop… but I'm not sure if it's possible due to filesystem incompatabilities…. do you think it's possible?16:26
j2daoshb80905: it depends on what access you are trying to block.16:27
b80905j2daosh: so i would not be able to use it16:27
mstentaThe main issue seems to be: I can create a FAT32 TrueCrypt partition that is accessible on both Mac and Linux, but it doesn't allow files larger than 4GB… but the VirtualBox image will need to be larger than that.16:27
j2daoshmstenta: if you make it FAT, it should work on any16:27
reggie_ok lol I'm too much of a windows user I forgot to add .conf after the host j2daosh16:27
mstentaj2daosh: thanks, that's what i figured too… see my second comment above16:28
reggie_so I'm in the file now there isn't much in there16:28
lancienmstenta,  4 why not? i dont think it's easy to make this with truecrypt but when you install your vm you could crypt her with LVM maybe16:28
j2daoshmstenta: no idea. you will have to find a compatible FS for both (maybe EXT3) and give it a shot16:28
j2daoshreggie_: huh? hosts is hosts, not hosts.conf... i dont know what file you just editted16:28
reggie_lol I haven't done anything to the file yet16:29
j2daoshthen where did the .conf come from?16:29

reggie_huh16:30
aneksreggie_, /etc/hosts ?16:31
reggie_all I did was sudo nano host16:31
reggie_should I add more at the end of the command?16:31
j2daoshdo you see something along the lines of ip [tab] hostname?16:31
reggie_aneks: ?16:31
aneksreggie_, the file is /etc/hosts not /etc/host16:32

reggie_okay I understand, thanks for your patience j2daosh aneks16:34
j2daoshnp. been in your position before.16:35
reggie_so j2daosh I'm in the file and I'm seeing a few things do you want me to pastebin or???16:35
j2daoshthis file is exactly like c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/host16:35
reggie_would this be the place to add the dns server info16:35
j2daoshso just add the spam servers IP in their, alias the name and your good16:36
aneksreggie_, just add ip address hostname16:36
aneksthat's all the info that goes into /etc/hosts16:36
reggie_okay but I have like 20 other devices including firewalls is there an easier way of adding my win dns servers or should I build a linux VM box to handle dns info16:37
j2daoshso if i wanted my computer to ping 192.168.1.100 by doing 'ping windowslicker', i would put in the hosts file '192.168.1.100 [tab] windowlicker'16:37

cvanceI am having problems booting ubuntu on my uefi desktop. I installed it successfully in the past and had it running, but now the system doesn't boot. Additionally when I burned another livecd and booted it in uefi, it also fails (and jumps straight into my Windows 7 install.) I don't get to the grub menu, the system displays a blinking cursor for a moment and then moves right to Windows.16:42
anekscvance, did you try booting into your live cd, installing boot-repair and running it? It'll probably fix your issue.16:43
wilee-nileecvance, You might want to use the ubuntu forums, the channel is not really uefi educated in general.16:43

anekscvance, did you try booting into your live cd, installing boot-repair and running it? It'll probably fix your issue.16:47
reggie_thanks for your help j2daosh16:49
cvance_aneks: I cannot boot into the livecd for some reason. I don't even get into the grub menu.16:49
anekscvance_, I wasn't talking about grub. I meant, change the boot sequence so it boots from the cd, and then choose try ubuntu. Once you're in there you can install boot-repair.16:50
cvance_aneks: I manually select the CD from my boot menu but it doesn't even get to the grub prompt (of the livecd)16:50
anekscvance_, you manually select it? if your boot sequence is set to read from the cd/dvd it will boot into the live cd by itself.16:51

cvance_aneks: I think we have a little miscommunication, let me rephrase. I have a UEFI motherboard and have windows 7 installed in UEFI mode. I burned a livecd and pressed F8 at the uefi prompt to enter a device boot selection menu. I have a few options (UEFI windows 7 boot loader, UEFI old ubuntu installation, UEFI livecd, and legacy options). When I select UEFI livecd, the screen goes blank for a moment and just kicks me to Windows.16:55
anekscvance_, it seems like it's not reading your live cd.16:57
cvance_aneks: md5sum is correct, let me try again in legacy mode to verify that it's something about UEFI that's screwy, brb16:58

nothungwilee-nilee: don't see anything on the desktop, Ubuntu automounts USB hard drives and flash drives just fine.  I'm running amd64 version of Ubuntu 12.04 LtS17:23
genii-aroundnothung: Usually gvfs sort of translates it on-the-fly to your music player or file browser17:23
ubuntuaddictedwilee-nilee, yes, it's not brining up the SiS900 ethernet card17:24
nothungwilee-nilee: yes, I do have the double USB plugged into a power USB hub17:24
nothungwilee-nilee: I don't know if using a hub is a problem17:24
wilee-nileenothung, Check that the power may need to be plugged directly to the computer17:25
nothungwilee-nilee: ah, I tried a non-audio CD and automount worked17:25
billionsso I'm running 12.04 and when I scroll the screen cannot refresh quick enough, so it stutters. Is this normal?  I am running the restricted nvidia drivers btw17:26

wilee-nileenothung, Look at removable media.17:42
nothungwilee-nilee, hmm well I just tried running Rhythmbox and inserting the audio CD and it was recognized.  So I guess you have to have an audio program open and then insert the audio CD.  I would have expected the audio CD to be recognized without having an audio program open.17:42

billionsI just get an error that it is not a valid boot disk, although that selfsame disk works perfectly with a different machine18:03
ali4ever4rAg3nix, thanks18:03
tgm4883billions, actually, I think the installer would still work, but you would get weird quarks happening.18:03
billionssee tgm4883 that's what I was thinking too18:03
tgm4883billions, IIRC, it was just a few processors that didn't fully support the 32-bit stuff properly18:04
billionsits probably something wonky with the installer disks18:04
ActionParsnipAli4ever4 : you can also set a time window to turn on an alternative speed limit18:04
billionsgood, now I know that it can be fixed, I can fix it :D18:04
tgm4883billions, that said, why not instal 64-bit?18:04

tgm4883billions, IDK why that would make sense, but it sounds like a bad burn or something18:05
bekksxdm2: ext2 isnt journaled. thats why.18:05
ActionParsnipMonkeydust: it will if you have and have enabled the required CPU features :-)18:05
tgm4883MonkeyDust, 64-bit will boot in vbox18:06
ActionParsnipAli4ever4 : its in settings18:06
tgm4883MonkeyDust, you do have to set the guest OS to 64-bit though18:06

icedwaterThe error I get is E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture?18:39

tgm4883ActionParsnip, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a fix for that18:39
icedwaterIt should be both, assuming the debootstrap bits were done correctly.. so I'm a little lost as to where the packages might have vanished to on a 688MB image.18:39
icedwaterIs it something wrong with my filesystem size/manifest?18:39
ActionParsnipTgm4883 : fix for what?18:40

icedwaterI'm off to bed. Thanks :)18:41
ActionParsnipTgm4883 : you could maintain the release yourself I guess18:41
tgm4883ActionParsnip, because that would break the supported upgrade paths18:41
tgm4883ActionParsnip, nah, it's the upgrade paths I'm worried about. I think that they will probably just support upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04+118:41
ActionParsnipTgm4883 : just stick to LTS18:42

tgm4883ActionParsnip, yes, while that does work for some folks,that isn't going to be what everyone does. "Just stick to LTS" isn't a valid answer to "There is no valid upgrade path from 12.10"18:43

^MikeI've been asked to test this kernel (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc7-raring/) but I'm not sure how to boot it when my system has encrypted LVM set up. So, /boot is on an unencrypted partition, and then it needs to decrypt and mount / in order to continue. Instead, the kernel panics with "cant find init, try passing init=" What do?19:26
Neytiriwilee-nilee, no idea how many sets are currently on the current card19:26
wilee-nileeNeytiri, look in boot, or what does the grub bootloader show.19:27
Neytirii wanna say 919:28
qum_hello.. i'm not sure i'm using the best driver for my video card, although everything seems not bad. Is there any way to check if the driver is installed right and everything is right?19:28
wilee-nileeNeytiri, you only need 2 sets, remove the rest, that card is big enough if maintained.19:29
Neytiriwell i would still like to upgrade it19:29
Neytiriwhen i built this system i ddint have a bigger one19:29
FrEaKmAn_dakotawulfy, thanks19:30
wilee-nileeNeytiri, Why are you doing it this way boot should just be in /19:30

KatsumeBliskPinkamena_D: Depends on how you set it up. Install XP first though. Windows doesn't like other OSes.23:50
Pinkamena_Dyou got that right23:50
wilee-nileeNoskcaj, you might want the #ubuntu-touch channel for nexus installs there is the touch and the raring desktop install.23:50
Noskcajwilee-nilee, thanks, i forgot about that channel23:51
wilee-nileePinkamena_D, Install XP first then ubuntu, we don't support backtrack, however XP first is the important part.23:51
wilee-nileePinkamena_D, If your going to multi-boot you want to be familiar with reloading bootloaders to the mbr if it is a msdos mbr setup.23:53
nat_have a huge question to ask..i'm wish to make ubuntu where i do not have sudo/sudoers.d files on it at all, with a named account that has full access to the entire system, is this possible? i know debian can do it23:54
KatsumeBlisknat_: Ubuntu doesn't have the root account, but that's because it can be dangerous.23:56
KatsumeBlisknat_: Why do you want it?23:56
KatsumeBlisknat_: You can use "sudo su" for a temp "root"23:56
Poisoned_DragonIf you install from an expert install, you can create an ubuntu install with a root user that can be logged in to.23:56
nat_i understand all this, but i'm wishing to make a system that has a root account23:56
nat_don't need a temp root access, wishing user to have full blown access to system23:57
nat_is there any way to install the "root" account?23:57
Poisoned_DragonAll you do is make an admin account and use sudo in terminal23:57
Poisoned_DragonThat's the way it is, and always will be.23:57
nat_i'm already part of admin account/group and still using sudo in terminal, i wish to be dangerous in linux with no sudo23:58
jamesaeppGreetings! I noticed my hard drive was about 66% full for no apparent reason (I don't have 500GB of movies :P) So I did sudo du -h | grep G and found /var/lib/mlocate.db.e1GYsY to be almost 600GB!!! Is it safe to delete this file?23:58
Poisoned_DragonIf you install from an expert minimal install, you can set root to be logged into by you.23:58
KatsumeBlisknat_: Remove the password requirement for sudo for that user. RUnning sudo in front of every command would essentially do what you want.23:58
Poisoned_DragonI don't think you can change that after an install is done without a root user.23:58
jamesaeppnat_ : I use sudo su23:59
