[00:30] <Unit193> Use some sort of canuseeme port check, check your router setup?
[00:31] <dfx> Unit193: im sorry but i did not get it you mean those sites that tells you if this port its open or no ?? btw if i use my wifi i can ssh but not with 3g and keepin in mind my machine its on that wifi
[00:33] <dfx> Unit193: on this site http://www.canyouseeme.org/ he does not see me :S
[01:28] <jay> i have disk encryption enabled and all i get is a blackscreen on boot, i seen a gui only once to enter the password, any way to fix?
[01:38] <phillw> jay: do have the 'pass-phrase; written down?
[01:38] <jay> i know the passphrase yes
[01:39] <jay> i can boot into lubuntu just fine with the black screen, im just confused as to why i only seen a lubuntu gui for it once
[01:41] <phillw> Can you explain the problem? Can you log onto lubuntu, or is there a further problem?
[01:44] <jay> okay well i seen a gui to enter my disk encryption passphrase only on my first boot after install, after then its just a black screen. i can enter my passphrase at the black screen(no text input or anything) and it continues to boot as intended. Im just trying to get the gui back is all
[01:47] <jay> and my mouse and keyboard dont respond(i have a laptop) and i have to force shutdown and boot up like 2 or 3 times to fix that issue. thats the other problem. you can take a whack at either if you wanna help. Thanks in advance
[01:49] <jay> NOTED ive had these problems on ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and linux mint, but i am favoring lubuntu and using lubuntu now :)
[01:52] <Unit193> What version?  I'd think it could be plymouth or whatever is the crypt program.
[01:52] <jay> 12.10
[01:53] <jay> ive went back and forth between 12.04 and 12.10 on the distros ive listed above, but i am sticking to 12.10 for now, unless i should do otherwise?
[01:53] <jay> and i do not have a UEFI bios if that makes a difference? i have a Toshiba Satellite laptop
[01:55] <Unit193> So https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gnome-default-settings/+bug/1060123 but for Lubuntu?
[01:58] <Unit193> (It would indicate that one of the plymouth-theme-lubuntu* packages needs fixed.)
[01:58] <jay> sry im a noob at linux :( how can i fix it, im willing to try the fix. i have nothing on my hdd at the moment. so nothing a reinstall cant fix if things go south lol
[02:01] <Unit193> phillw: You know if anyone has done encrypted tests for Raring?
[02:01] <n-iCe> hi phillw
[02:02] <n-iCe> phillw: you use plain lubuntu desktop?
[02:03] <phillw> n-iCe: w
[02:03] <n-iCe> w?
[02:04] <phillw> n-iCe: can you explain what you mean by plain lubuntu desktop
[02:04] <n-iCe> default's desktop
[02:04] <jay> i read somewhere that restarting dbus may fix my mouse and keyboard issues?
[02:05] <jay> they usually do not work on cold boot unless i force reboot a few times
[02:05] <phillw> n-iCe: I use the default lubuntu,... then I add stuff,
[02:05] <Unit193> jay: USB or PS/2?
[02:05] <jay> laptop, built in
[02:06] <Unit193> Right, right.  My bad.  I personally don't know on that one, had issues with that and PS/2 mice and reloading the kernel module would help.
[02:08] <jay> i made a post on ubuntu forums for my issues and one gentleman pointed me to a page where it stated to add a line to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
[02:08] <jay> here http://lxlinux.com/#18
[02:09] <jay> but there is no LXDE folder where it states, so i used the Lubuntu directory in place of it, i have yet to see if it fixed the issue as i just added the like
[02:09] <jay> line*
[02:11] <n-iCe> is this link workinf for you guys? http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35272968/Blog/xcompmgr.desktop
[02:12] <jay> no
[02:13] <jay> the site itself is down
[02:17] <jay> would trying to reinstall plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo and text in synaptic possibly fix the issue Unit193?
[02:18] <Unit193> Can't say for sure, but don't see why.  Worth trying I suppose.  You tried text booting?
[02:19] <jay> dont know how unless its in the grub recovery. never even tried though
[02:19] <jay> im new to linux, im trying to learn the ropes. id rather be guided until im comfy with the OS rather than taking a whack at things all willy nilly
[02:21] <Unit193> The general recommendation on encryption are only use it if you need to, otherwise it can cause issues (as seen here for example.)
[02:21] <jay> encryption in general? or is home folder encryption fine?
[02:22] <jay> id fond of encryption but agreed, i do not NEED it
[02:22] <jay> im*
[02:22] <Unit193> Well, the full disk encryption that is.  I use TrueCrypt without problems, except if I forget a password for an older cryptainer... >_>
[02:25] <jay> full disk encrypt with truecrypt or just file containers?
[02:25] <Unit193> I've just used files, not really needed full disk.
[02:25] <Unit193> Though, sadly it isn't in the main Ubuntu repos, so I've had to build the package myself.
[02:26] <jay> sounds good. ill restart to see if the reinstall helped. thanks for the help
[09:00] <Guest61038> arse
[09:01] <Guest61038> while i wait for nickserv
[09:01] <Guest61038> Flash is not working properly in chromium
[09:01] <Guest61038> i have restricted-extra installed
[09:01] <Guest61038> when flash content loads, its not renderd properly
[13:33] <Guest2610> I just installed Lubuntu 12.04 on an old laptop- Toshiba Satellite A105, I think.  I can't seem to adjust the display brightness, no matter what I do.  Any advice?
[16:39] <lubuntu__> need help fixing fstab, im running lubuntu live cd right now, where do i start? thanks
[16:40] <pegmanm> I am about to deploy 32 servers and am having trouble with how udev is numbering the interfaces. On most machines this appears to be pretty random. IE there is a 4 port broadcom and a dual Intel nic in the host. But numbers goes 0 -2 broadcom 3 intel 4 braodcom and 5 intel. Is ther any easy way to force numbering by card at least.
[16:41] <pegmanm> iIndividual udev rules will not work here I have an image and no idea what the mac's will be before deployment. I would just like to have the Intels counted befrore the broadcoms etc
[16:51] <holstein> lubuntu__: i would start with a default version, and add what you need
[16:52] <holstein> lubuntu__: put a default fstab in place, test boot.. edit.. test boot.. etc
[16:53] <lubuntu__> i dont know how lol im new to linux, trying to learn the ropes
[16:53] <holstein> pegmanm: since that question is not lubuntu specific, i would try in #ubuntu or the server channel (or mailing lists)
[16:53] <wxl> lubuntu__: what are you trying to accomplish?
[16:54] <lubuntu__> remove a line from fstab on my hdd, currently running on live cd
[16:54] <holstein> lubuntu__: why?
[16:54] <wxl> what line?
[16:54] <holstein> lubuntu__: the quetsion is, what are you trying to accomplish, overall
[16:54] <holstein> lubuntu__: if you want to remove a line, navigate to it from the live CD and remove it
[16:54] <lubuntu__> i added a line in fstab to make tmp noexec
[16:54] <lubuntu__> and now i cant boot
[16:55] <wxl> why did you do that?
[16:55] <holstein> lubuntu__: i would undo that change, and test boot...
[16:55] <lubuntu__> idk where to start
[16:55] <holstein> lubuntu__: ?
[16:55] <wxl> the live cd, from my memory, should mount your drives.
[16:55] <holstein> lubuntu__: you start the same as you did before
[16:55] <holstein> lubuntu__: you navigate to the same file, and edit it
[16:55] <wxl> the same way
[16:55] <wxl> !
[16:56] <lubuntu__> ok so how do i get read write access on my hdd from live cd?
[16:56] <holstein> !chown
[16:56] <holstein> though, you shouldnt have to
[16:56] <wxl> uh
[16:56] <holstein> OR< you can use an editor as root, as you did when you edited if before
[16:56] <wxl> chown?
[16:56] <wxl> i wouldn't recommend that
[16:56] <lubuntu__> ok thanks lemme try it out
[16:56] <holstein> sudo gedit /path/to/file for example
[16:57] <lubuntu__> thats what i did holstein, wouldnt let me save
[16:57] <wxl> ↑ now THAT makes sense
[16:57] <holstein> lubuntu__: i would try again
[16:57] <wxl> yeah live should mount drives rw
[16:57] <holstein> gksudo gedit or sudo nano... whatever you feel comfortable with
[16:57] <wxl> or sudo vi
[16:58] <holstein> as root with the editor of your choice :)
[16:59] <wxl> also you CAN get readwrite with mount -o rw,remount /path/to/drive
[16:59] <wxl> e.g. /dev/hda1 for example
[16:59] <lubuntu__> how do i list drives in term? :/
[16:59] <wxl> you can see all mounted drives with mount
[17:00] <wxl> you can see all drives with sudo fdisk -l
[17:00] <wxl> well, all mounts
[17:00] <wxl> sorry, partitions, last correction :)
[17:02] <holstein> lubuntu__: open a terminal
[17:02] <holstein> sudo nano /path/to/file
[17:02] <holstein> lubuntu__: use tab to auto-complete the path
[17:02] <holstein> unless you have a good backup, then you can just cp the backup over the current
[17:03] <wxl> well we know the file: /etc/fstab
[17:03] <holstein> probably has a mount path
[17:04] <wxl> well yeah
[17:05] <lubuntu__> worked, drive was in /media
[17:05] <wxl> usually are
[17:05] <lubuntu__> it was unlisted in mount and fdisk
[17:06] <lubuntu__> idk why but i just couldnt get it last night, i felt i was doing it the same way. Fresh start in the morn helped, thanks guys!
[17:06] <lubuntu__> since its a little more active here now, is there a fix for my laptop mouse and keyboard not responding on boot unless i force reboot a few times?
[17:07] <wxl> probably buy new hardware
[17:07] <wxl> that certainly doesn't seem like any sort of a typical issue
[17:07] <lubuntu__> yeah toshiba sucks anyway thanks guys!
[17:15] <purplefool> hey all, having a problem with libreoffice calc.  this is not the right place for this question, but i cannot find the right place.  can someone point me in the right direction?  thx all
[17:18] <wxl> purplefool: #libreoffice ?
[17:18] <purplefool> tried that but i was alone there...
[17:19] <wxl> purplefool: you're doing it wrong. i just went there and -!- Irssi: #libreoffice: Total of 121 nicks
[17:19] <wxl> 120 other people != alone
[17:20] <purplefool> hmmm...guess i don't know chat so well.  what do i type in to get there?
[17:20] <wxl> ok so you're using xchat
[17:21] <wxl> which i don't know a hoot about :)
[17:21] <wxl> are you on multiple networks, or just freenode? if you don't know that, is this the only irc channel you're on?
[17:22] <purplefool> i am on freenode and #lubuntu is only channel i am on
[17:22] <wxl> then /join #libreoffice should get you there
[17:22] <wxl> don't forget the #
[17:22] <purplefool> ok, will give it a try
[17:23] <purplefool> thx man, got it...is learnin!
[17:24] <phillw> wxl: as you are hopefully aware, the last spins of 13.04 have landed. As ever, the release team do NOT like doing this so late, but the bug was a show-stopper across the entire family. So, once more... up to the breach :D
[17:24] <phillw> and speaking of libeoffice, there is a major bug!
[17:27] <wxl> phillw: been busy at work and home so haven't been testing :( what's the bug?
[17:28] <phillw> keyboard shortcuts are no longer working.... provoked a 'WTF' from a still poorly balloons (Nicholas, head of all our QA teams).
[17:29] <wxl> hahaha
[17:29] <wxl> like any of them at all?! :O
[17:30] <phillw> that is libreoffice bug. the one that would cripple the rest of is https://launchpad.net/bugs/1080701
[17:31] <wxl> oh well nevermind libreoffice :)
[17:31] <phillw> soz, too many open tabs!
[17:33] <wxl> so this shouldn't affect alternate, no?
[17:33] <phillw> I am now starting to understand Julien's cunning plan of adding me to him as a release manager for lubuntu.... It's the usual 'fun' but with added responsibility
[17:34] <phillw> wxl: it would, the alternates get re-spun real quick :D
[17:34] <phillw> they were there within 20 mins of the 'respin the world' being issued.
[17:34] <wxl> well ubiquity != debian-installer is what i mea
[17:34] <wxl> mean
[17:35] <phillw> no, it is a partitioner issue
[17:35] <wxl> oh yikes
[17:35] <phillw> and, as colin said.. it would affect alternate and server.
[17:36] <phillw> dinner is server... talk later.
[17:36] <wxl> ta
[17:54] <Hiig> anyone know how to get file sharing to work between lubuntu and windows 7?
[18:06] <phillw> Hiig: !samba
[18:06] <phillw> !samba
[18:06] <Hiig> i have samba installed on lubuntu. downloaded it on windows as well, but i dont know how to open it up
[18:06] <Hiig> there is no exe in the installation folder
[18:07] <phillw> for lubuntu?
[18:07] <phillw> there are no .exe's
[18:07] <Hiig> for windows
[18:07] <Hiig> its already installed on lubuntu
[18:08] <phillw> to install samba on windows, you would need to read up on the tutorials for windows
[18:08] <Hiig> where?
[18:09] <phillw> Hiig: I cannot comment, as I do not use it.. but a quick look gave me http://www.noobslab.com/2012/03/configure-samba-sharing-between-ubuntu.html
[18:10] <Hiig> problem, is i cannot access via ip either
[18:10] <Hiig> ahh fuck it. ill set up a web server on my windows computer
[18:10] <Hiig> who knew transfering one stupid file would be so damn hard
[18:12] <phillw> Hiig: I've skim read the article and with the instructions and plenty of screen shots, you should be okay :)
[18:12] <Hiig> like i said, i cannot access via the IP
[18:12] <Hiig> something must be wrong on the windows end
[18:14] <phillw> that article does also cover how to set up windows, which is what I needed to see to ask you to look at it.
[18:15] <Hiig> file sharing wont turn on, amongst other things. windows is just messed up
[18:15] <Hiig> i thought it was going to be a straightforward process
[18:20] <phillw> Hiig: as it appears to an issue at the windows end? I cannot help. SAMBA is not my strong area, and I've never used it on a windows install. Sorry :(
[18:20] <Hiig> ahh no worries. im looking into web servers instead
[18:21] <cerebrate> i wanna run fallout tactics on my laptop ;s;
[18:22] <phillw> Hiig: you may ask on #ubuntu-server someone there may be familiar with using it.
[18:22] <cerebrate> uh :x i think it runs winee 1.5 on lubuntu :I
[18:22] <Hiig> cheers
[18:23] <cerebrate> o/ :D
[19:17] <KneferilisHome> hello
[19:18] <KneferilisHome> I installed lumuntu in virtual box and it finished installation and now it is trying to shut down, but it is taking it too long
[19:18] <KneferilisHome> any ideas?
[19:18] <jjpintor> force it
[19:20] <KneferilisHome> jjpintor: what if that ruins it?
[19:21] <KneferilisHome> it just finished installation and it wants to reboot
[19:26] <KneferilisHome> is this normal behaviour?
[19:26] <KneferilisHome> it takes long to reboot?
[19:27] <KneferilisHome> after it installs?
[19:27] <wxl> KneferilisHome: has it rebooted yet?
[19:27] <wxl> …or is it still trying to shut down?
[19:27] <KneferilisHome> wxl: it is still trying to shut down
[19:28] <wxl> KneferilisHome: then remove the (virtual) cd (the iso file) and hit enter and see what happens.
[19:28] <wxl> KneferilisHome: if nothing there, just pull the plug on the vm and boot it up. it'll work.
[19:29] <jjpintor> as wxl said. do it
[19:29] <KneferilisHome> wxl: no cd, ok thanks
[19:29] <KneferilisHome> I will do it now
[19:29] <wxl> KneferilisHome: well whatever you used to install it
[19:29] <wxl> eject it
[19:29] <wxl> you don't want the restart to cause it to boot to that again
[19:29] <wxl> typically the install process ends in a restart. before it restart it says to eject installation media and hit enter. and THEN it restarts.
[19:30] <jjpintor> do you know how to automate workspace switching?
[19:30] <wxl> so that a particular program opens on a particular workspace?
[19:30] <KneferilisHome> jjpintor: no, I don't
[19:31] <KneferilisHome> so, it worked and it booted
[19:31] <KneferilisHome> why powering it off, didn't ruin the installation?
[19:33] <KneferilisHome> thanks for the tip for the automation
[19:34] <wxl> KneferilisHome: cuz the install's already done
[19:34] <wxl> restarts don't have a lot of value in linux XD (( except for kernel updates ))
[19:34] <KneferilisHome> XD?
[19:35] <wxl> um
