| sporkeee | agarwood, You want the #debian channel. | 00:00 |
| oday | how can i unhide folders in my home folder? ubuntu 12.10 | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | nerder: try renameing that file. mv monitors.xml monitors.xml.old | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: in what app? nautils has a menu setting to show them, or alt-h (or was it ctrl-h) | 00:00 |
| agarwood | #debian nobody talking... | 00:01 |
| nerder | Dr_Willis, ok, and after that i have to change my resolution, and cross my finger LOL | 00:01 |
| Oran_ | hello guys, can some tell me how much space i will need for ubuntu to work and programm with it | 00:01 |
| oday | ty | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | agarwood: its still the place for debian support agarwood | 00:01 |
| delinquentme | sudo dmidecode -t memory <<< does this work ? | 00:01 |
| delinquentme | I mean I run it ... and I get output .. but I dont believe the output. | 00:01 |
| sporkeee | agarwood, Load what ever drive when using the disc that makes ubuntu work is this a broadcom card? | 00:01 |
| Oran_ | i going to install it on my notebook and iam not sure how much i need to give him | 00:01 |
| sporkeee | driver* | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Oran_: most minimal setup i would say about 10gb. | 00:01 |
| delinquentme | its telling me I've got 4 slots for memory on my laptop ... b ut im pretty sure I've only got two | 00:02 |
| nerder | Dr_Willis, i saw that compiz open, i should kill that process? | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Oran_: id say about 30gb for a useable system | 00:02 |
| jimi_ | i am getting compile errors when trying to install thin.gem | 00:02 |
| Oran_ | and whats some kind of "maximum" when i dont want to store files liek videos and musik on it | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | nerder: after removeing that file. the user should be using the system defaults when they login next time | 00:02 |
| nerder | ok i'll try | 00:02 |
| Oran_ | i have ssd with 256 for ubuntu and winodws | 00:02 |
| Oran_ | so i have enough space but iam not sure how to split it well, cause i need win for some gaming sessons i cant use just ubuntu | 00:03 |
| sporkeee | Oran_, Use the size needed. | 00:03 |
| Oran_ | thats the point i never needed to split my hdd for dual boot , so i never had to made the choice | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Oran_: if you are going to be doing just simple programing. you could just run lubuntu in a virtual box session. | 00:04 |
| Oran_ | nah, i really want to use ubuntu more and more | 00:04 |
| sporkeee | Oran_, ubuntu installed stock in one partition is less than 5 gigs plus a swap partition. | 00:04 |
| sporkeee | thats a minimal amount | 00:05 |
| Oran_ | i mean guys, how much space do u use for ubutnu + programms for office use + eclipse + some framworks | 00:05 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, i just installed conky and i launch in terminal, but i can't see anything on the screen. Can it be because i use gnome desktop? | 00:05 |
| Oran_ | i can give more than 30 with no problem | 00:05 |
| Oran_ | i just wonder if i shall go for 50 or 100 gb | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: conky works with gnome-desktop | 00:06 |
| Oran_ | btw i will have secoudn hdd for big files for both systems | 00:06 |
| nerder | Dr_Willis, Amazing ;) | 00:06 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, so what can be the problem? | 00:06 |
| sporkeee | the shell is mutter though | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: no idea. its worked for me when i ran it from a terminal under unity or gnome, or are you auto-starting it? | 00:07 |
| Oran_ | does some got expirience about using programms for windowfs and ubuntu on an 2 place? | 00:07 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, just runing in terminal conky | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | there should be a conky panel showing on the desktop if you minimize all the windows. | 00:09 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, nothing. | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: tried with the default conky setup>? no error messages? does ps ax | grep conky show conky running? | 00:11 |
| agarwood | sporkeee it is same like this one : http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/1728156/24816191/0/1330333894/Best_Price_HSDPA_USB_Modem_3G_Dongle_with_Voice_Function.jpg | 00:11 |
| harris | is the a free pdf for python for kids | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | harris: since its not really ubuntu specific.. we dont know. :) you have hit up your fave search engine and looked? | 00:12 |
| Wug | so I don't suppose anyone has an idea about why this video will play with flash but not HTML5? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ReAjMhCeu0 | 00:12 |
| harris | ok | 00:12 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, 23742 pts/2 Sl 0:02 conky 23802 pts/1 Sl+ 0:00 conky i guess that means yes | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Wug: not all youtube videos support HTML5 | 00:12 |
| sporkeee | agarwood, We can't really help with debian here. | 00:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | agarwood: /j #debian | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: kill it with 'killall conky' and try with the default conky config perhaps | 00:13 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, what do u mean by default config? | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: if you have no .conkyrc file. then conky uses the default | 00:13 |
| agarwood | ok no problem I understand, thank you !! | 00:14 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, now it works. but how do i change the settings now? | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: make a conky config that does what you want | 00:15 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Dr_Willis, turns out I'm going to need x for this | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | conky has 10000's of pages/sites/examples of configs | 00:15 |
| DarkAceLaptop | is there a way to do this? | 00:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkAceLaptop: to do what? | 00:15 |
| DarkAceLaptop | Dr_Willis, run a program as another user from the current user | 00:16 |
| Dr_Willis | su username --command whatever | 00:17 |
| Dr_Willis | i thought worked for me. | 00:17 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, kk, i'll make one.. should i save it as .conkyrc in the homefolder? | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | oday: conky can be told to look anywhere. | 00:18 |
| Dr_Willis | see the conky homepage/docs/faq for details and examples | 00:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | it says --command isn't an option | 00:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | oh wait | 00:18 |
| DarkAceLaptop | lol | 00:18 |
| oday | Dr_Willis, i got it working already, ty. | 00:19 |
| DarkAceLaptop | yeah, I dunno, it's saying stuff like 'You forgot to call g_type_init()' | 00:19 |
| DarkAceLaptop | (process:16185): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.34.1/./gobject/gtype.c:2720: You forgot to call g_type_init() | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | what app are you trying to run? | 00:20 |
| DarkAceLaptop | hexchat | 00:20 |
| DarkAceLaptop | I'm using it right now | 00:20 |
| DarkAceLaptop | it uses a panel icon, if that's relevant | 00:20 |
| DarkAceLaptop | notification icon, rather | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | for a gui app you may need to use gksu, or sux, | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | javier: you DID try the nvidia drivers in the repos first? | 00:30 |
| [0_1UNDRtheBOTS | javier: try: sudo sh file.run | 00:30 |
| knas | Hello good people. Just installet edubuntu. Cant seem to get the sound going though. First time linux user. No idea how to search for problems or possible solutions | 00:30 |
| nerderrr | javier, i think just ./file.run | 00:30 |
| [0_1UNDRtheBOTS | that works too | 00:30 |
| nerderrr | Anybody know how can i leave the SideBar? | 00:30 |
| Dr_Willis | javier: it has to be ran from the console also.. and not under X | 00:30 |
| javier | also, i am displaying on a samsung flat screen and have been trying to use the nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode ="DFP-1: 1920x1080 {ViewPortOut=1850x1055+40+25}" in oreder to get the toolbars and borders to show correctly | 00:31 |
| javier | I am currently running 12.10 as well | 00:31 |
| DaSpawn | Is this a good place to ask a question regarding LVM and mirroring? | 00:32 |
| willows | knas: did you try googling something like "edubuntu sound not working"? | 00:32 |
| h00k | willows: we try to refrain from telling people to google in here, it's not always quite helpful | 00:33 |
| h00k | 00:33 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 00:33 |
| javier | that command is also not sticking for reason. | 00:33 |
| willows | h00k: ok | 00:34 |
| kexibq | hey guys, I have a problem with input/output error(5) during installation, and I have no more blank discs, or USB sticks. any ideas as to what I can do? | 00:35 |
| Random832 | kexibq: do you know whether it's an error on your hard drive or the installation media? | 00:35 |
| xmlnewbi_ | anyone in here work with the raspberry pi? with zbar qr codes? | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | xmlnewbi_: theres the #raspberrypi channel | 00:36 |

| giiker | having trouble with my audio, I can hear music when listening to pandora from my terminal, but I can't when trying to make a google voice chat? | 00:38 |
| kexibq | Random832: I think it is the installation media | 00:39 |
| Random832 | well usb sticks cost like ten dollars | 00:39 |
| kexibq | is there any way that, now I am booted into a live environment, that I can download/install the installation files needed that way? | 00:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !netinstall | 00:39 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:39 |

| ronnie | hello? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | hello | 00:57 |
| ronnie | anyone know anything about rooting android? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | totally depends on your android device ronnie .. see #android channel | 00:58 |
| ronnie | ive got 2 lg optimus s running 2.3.3 and a lg viper running 4.0.4 | 00:59 |
| Kye | dfx: does the phrase "port forwarding" mean anything to you? | 00:59 |
| dfx | ronnie go see xda developpers or androidcentral | 00:59 |
| ronnie | ive checked both and nothings working | 01:00 |
| dfx | Kye: well ido see it in the connectbot app but ido click it nethin happaned | 01:00 |
| Kye | connectbot? is that an ssh client or something. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | its a ssh client for android. | 01:00 |
| dfx | Kye an android one | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | theres many alternative ssh clients for android | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | You do need to enable port forwarding on the router to forward the ssh port to the right pc | 01:01 |
| GeekDude | I have 2 hard drives. Drive 1 has windows on it, Drive 2 has whoknowshwat on it. I want to install ubunt onto drive2. I'm using a LiveUSB. I was told to disconnect Drive1 while formatting Drive2, then when done installing, reconnect Drive1 and add it to the /boot/grub/device.map and run update-grub | 01:01 |
| ronnie | ive tryed on rootingt on both windows and linux | 01:01 |
| Pentium44 | http://mrtux.org/noobuntu/ | 01:01 |
| Pentium44 | looky ^ | 01:01 |
| Kye | do you know how to get into your modem/router settings dfx? you'll find port forwarding settings in there | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Pentium44: please dont spam stuff like that. | 01:02 |
| Pentium44 | yes sur Dr_Willis | 01:02 |
| dfx | kye yes i do | 01:02 |
| chaotix | hi | 01:02 |
| Kye | you'll want to forward tcp port 22 to whichever ip address your machine is using on your network | 01:02 |
| Kye | ugh it's like someone just learned that html files are editable and wanted to make fun of Ubuntu | 01:03 |
| GeekDude | Does anyone have instructions or advice on how to put ubuntu onto a second internal drive, without corrupting the first internal drive (that has windows on it) | 01:03 |
| Kye | the installer should handle that for you GeekDude, but if you want to be sure, just physically unplug the drive before you install it | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | GeekDude: tell the installer to put grub on the 2nd hd.. and it shopuld touch the first hd.. or just unplug the first hd. ;) install.. plug it back in | 01:04 |
| GeekDude | Kye, That's what I've done. I had to shift the second drive to the first drive slot because it wouldn't detect it, though | 01:04 |
| chaotix | i would like to add somethings like "open with gedit" to the right click menu in nautilus... as i am not adept in scripting and programming languages, in fedora i would use a program called Beesu to manage my nautilus scripts... it does not exist for ubuntu and the nautilus scripts manager does not come preloaded with any scripts, i guess you have to write them yourself... for now, i just need a script for "open in Gedit", can som | 01:05 |
| chaotix | eone help me out with that?? | 01:05 |
| GeekDude | I also have no idea how to properly format a drive. I've deleted all the current partitions, and now I've heard I need to add a "swap" partition before making the main partitions (which should be ext4) | 01:05 |
| Kye | that's odd | 01:05 |
| Kye | @ not detecting the drive | 01:06 |
| Dr_Willis | chaotix: you just need the right script in your nautilus scripts directory. if beesu wrote one on redhat. you copyd copy the script over to a ubuntu box | 01:06 |
| Kye | GeekDude: again, the installer should handle creating the proper partitions | 01:06 |
| chaotix | Dr_Willis, i cant find that beesu one though... :( thats what i am looking for | 01:06 |
| sybrek | hi .. short question: how can run a sh-file from dash ? i created a .desktop-file, but when i click the app in the dash nothing happens | 01:07 |
| GeekDude | Kye, The drive just has junk on it, should I select "Replace XP with Ubuntu"? | 01:07 |
| Kye | if the drive doesn't have anything valuable, it can't hurt | 01:07 |
| Kye | i thought you said it didnt have any partitions | 01:07 |
| GeekDude | I was trying to remove them in the custom installation | 01:07 |
| GeekDude | "something else" | 01:08 |
| Kye | not sure, don't use Ubuntu desktop. | 01:08 |
| Kye | but if you're sure it's not the other drive | 01:08 |
| ronnie | im bored imma dual boot android | 01:08 |
| Kye | it cannot hurt choosing that option, it's not going to ruin your drive or anything. | 01:08 |
| GeekDude | The main drive is unplugged | 01:08 |
| JFogerty | hey i done a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 and when it loads compiz crashes. It's an install onto a dell dimension 2400 if that matters | 01:12 |
| SkinnyV | Anybody care to help me? I am setting up my first dedicated server and never really worked much with linux. I managed to install almost everything I needed but I can't for the life of me have a process autu-start with the system | 01:14 |
| cyrano_ | I just started having this issue. X seems to crash right after logging in to Ubuntu. Just after the lightdm login it goes black and goes back to the login screen. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this now. Any suggestions? | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | what process SkinnyV ? | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cyrano_: the system used to work? the guest account works? Tried making a new user see if they work? | 01:15 |
| SkinnyV | Deluge, a torrent client | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | an X Gui app? | 01:16 |
| SkinnyV | it is working if I manually start it trought SSH but nothing I tried make it auto start | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | run it from rc.local into a screen session. as a user.. would be one way SkinnyV | 01:16 |
| SkinnyV | i added a script to the rc.local but it doesnt work | 01:17 |
| lufi | what do you call that thing that used to separate terminal windows? like dividers | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | then you are doing somting wrong. SkinnyV ;) | 01:17 |
| SkinnyV | of course I am lol | 01:17 |
| Dr_Willis | what is the line in rc.local starting the script? | 01:17 |
| cyrano_ | Dr_Willis: yes the system used to work up until last night. I have tried removing the Xorg.conf as the system always worked fine without one and was trying to get a triple monitor setup going prior to that. Then I made a new xorg file using nvidia-xconfig and nothing changed still crashes back to login. I haven't tried the guest or another user yet. | 01:17 |
| Arrick | IdleOne, you around tonight? | 01:18 |
| Dr_Willis | cyrano_: common issue is the users .Xauthority file gets owned by root. Try removeing/renameing it.. | 01:18 |
| SkinnyV | let me try to refind what I did DrWilis | 01:18 |
| SkinnyV | thats the first line of the script I was trying for rc.local | 01:20 |
| SkinnyV | if [ -x /usr/bin/deluged ] && [ -x /usr/bin/deluge-web ]; then | 01:20 |
| ZrZeRenato | why my skype icon doest show on system tray?? | 01:20 |
| cyrano_ | Dr_Willis: that could be it, thanks! I'll try that out | 01:20 |
| ZrZeRenato | how can i edit system tray icons? | 01:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ZrZeRenato: what ubuntu release? | 01:21 |
| ZrZeRenato | 12.04 | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.tautvidas.com/blog/2012/05/enable-skype-icon-on-unity-panel-on-ubuntu-12-dot-04-lts/ | 01:22 |
| ZrZeRenato | Dr_Willis: Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 | 01:22 |

| SkinnyV | sorry i ment http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript/Ubuntu%2011.04%2B%20(Upstart%20Job) | 01:23 |

| Dr_Willis | just do it without all the if stuff.. see iff it works | 01:35 |
| sporkeee | SkinnyV, I think it will start with it in the autostart app | 01:35 |
| SkinnyV | so i just add the 2 su line to rc.local?à | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | err. yes.. | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont even know if the command sare getting ran | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | you did check the paths to make sure there IS a /usr/bin/whatever? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | they could be in some other location | 01:36 |
| SkinnyV | ill double check | 01:37 |

| jay | is there a fix for my laptop mouse and keyboard not repsonding until i force reboot like 2 or 3 times? | 01:50 |
| betrayd | thats like a sudo | 01:50 |
| SkinnyV | I supposed it was to execute the command as root, but I am taking the script from a tutorial, | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | you want it to run as root? or as a user? | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | su runs it as the user you tell it to | 01:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Usage: su [options] [LOGIN] | 01:51 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: Do you not know that rc.local is run as root anyway? su -c is not necessary | 01:51 |
| BlackWeb | How would I create permanent Iptables, So that when the system is rebooted then they remain intact, Is a script the only way? | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | su would switch the thing to be ran as a user. if he wants it ran as user. | 01:51 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: And as Dr_Willis points out, it would require a password. | 01:51 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. it hasent in the past for me usr13 | 01:51 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: If he wants it run as user, rc.local is not the place for it. | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | su -c deluged USER_NAME_HERE | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | he wants it to run at bootup. without logging in first. | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | BUT if he is using encrypted homes.. that could be an issue | 01:52 |
| dfx1 | Dr_Willis: icant set up my router well i tho but still does not work any idea | 01:52 |
| SkinnyV | im not quite sure, I never really used linux, got everything working except the auto-start | 01:52 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: But he just said it was to run it as root. (I asked him what the su -c was for.) | 01:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont think he knows what he wants.. but the example code he pasted runs it as a user. | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | from the tutorial he was following | 01:53 |
| SkinnyV | well, I have it working when i manually start it from SSH and trying to have it do the same thing automaticly once the system reboot | 01:53 |
| BlackWeb | would a script be the only way to keep iptables intact on reboot of the system? | 01:53 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: "su -c deluged USER_NAME_HERE" Is that really what you have in the script? | 01:54 |
| BlackWeb | Where would I place the command to execute the custom script for the Iptables | 01:54 |
| SkinnyV | yes thats what i tried | 01:54 |
| Dr_Willis | SkinnyV: you DID use the actual users name? | 01:54 |
| SkinnyV | yeah hehe | 01:54 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: Do you really have a user named USER_NAME_HERE ? | 01:55 |
| SkinnyV | no i replace it with my own user name:) | 01:55 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: Oh, ok. Sorry. | 01:55 |
| SkinnyV | it would have been funny tough | 01:55 |
| betrayd | he's decrypting it for us | 01:55 |
| * Mavrik makes a note to change his username to USER_NAME_HERE on all systems. | 01:55 | |
| SkinnyV | can i have just ''deluged'' as a line in the rc.local and have it execute that command on boot? | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | it will run as your root user if you do that SkinnyV | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the whole point of the su -c part | 01:57 |
| SkinnyV | i suppose it is a security risk? | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | a torrent server running as root.. would not be a great idea | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | expecally if its got a web front end | 01:58 |
| SkinnyV | i see | 01:58 |
| usr13 | SkinnyV: What tutoral are you using? | 01:59 |
| SkinnyV | I tried 3 | 01:59 |

| SkinnyV | yes otherwise I would be able to access teh webui | 02:01 |
| SkinnyV | I can only access the webui once I type the command manually | 02:01 |

| SierraAR | I need to burn an ubuntu iso onto a disc as a boot disc, so that it can be run off a server to install ubuntu server 12.04. It's apparent that the instructions on the ubuntu website arent working properly because the server doesn't seem to even detect that disc isthere, but it'll detect a windows install disc | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | what files are on the disk? not one big .iso file is it? | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | what tool did you use to burn the iso? | 02:06 |
| === Reina is now known as Guest52020 | ||
| SierraAR | I followed the instructions given here for windows 7: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-windows | 02:07 |

| midnightmagic | Hello. I'm op over in #bitcoin*. I understand you guys over here are experiencing the joys of cholby-stalking also, and I was wondering if any of the ops here know anything about this person that might be helpful in staving off the increasingly determined harassment he's meting out? | 02:13 |
| jay | cholby stalking? | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Perhaps better to ask in #ubuntu-ops | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | and in #freenode | 02:14 |
| jay | hows things going over there midnightmagic? you a bitcoin dev? | 02:14 |
| midnightmagic | jay: No; just an op who probably just should've kept his head down instead of volunteering to op. | 02:15 |
| midnightmagic | jay: Other than that, I'm liking the notion that opping someone instantly imbues them with responsibility to help moderate. :) It's like magic. | 02:16 |

| SkinnyV | man, this is crazy, I have been trying and trying for like 4 hour straight and cant do something as simple as auto-start something | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | and most likely due to some typo/path/mistake. ;) | 02:26 |
| SkinnyV | wait a minute, what do they mean by changing the execution bytes when you edit rc.local? | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | rc.local should be executable bu default. | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | $ ls -l /etc/rc.local | 02:27 |

| Dr_Willis | su username -c 'command to run' | 02:28 |

| nogal | oh alright | 02:45 |
| sporkeee | nogal, The post above you did | 02:45 |
| nogal | anyway, any ideas on the software center thing? Is there a way i can get steam vea comandline, should I just grab a .deb or is there a way to fix the software center? | 02:45 |
| felon | hi | 02:46 |
| yoojin | http://imagebin.org/255003 | 02:46 |
| yoojin | @nogal As far as I know, Steam from the Ubuntu Software Center works just fine. | 02:47 |
| nogal | yoojin: if it were I wouldn't be asking ;) | 02:47 |
| yoojin | @nogal Actually, it installs a downloader which brings Steam up to date with the current version. That's why it downloads so quickly at first. What's it doing? | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | nogal: i just get the steam .deb file and use gdebi to install it last time | 02:48 |
| nogal | yoojin: this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594435/ | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | steam is very very weird in how it works. ;) | 02:48 |

| yofun | nogal: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/steam-for-linux-now-available-to-all.html | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | i guess you can say it installs a 'steam installer' that the user then runs and installs the actual steam binary | 02:48 |
| yofun | tab fail | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | which is differnt then how it works on windows | 02:49 |
| nogal | Dr_Willis: that's odd, but i guess it's what works, do you know where an up-to-date .deb is hosted? | 02:50 |
| yofun | nogal: read http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/steam-for-linux-now-available-to-all.html | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | nogal: i just googled for steam ubuntu deb and got it from their homepage or follow the urls | 02:50 |
| nogal | ah at the steam store page, thanks | 02:51 |
| yoojin | nogal maybe you should try logging out and in to the Ubuntu Software Center again? Also, how are you getting your messages to show up directly to me in red? xD I'm new. | 02:52 |
| * Dr_Willis dosent see them in red for yoojin | 02:52 | |
| yofun | me either | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | ;P | 02:53 |
| nogal | yoojin: I don't know how your color scheme is setup nor what client you're using, but i assume you're being highlighted because i'm tagging your nickname. and I did try the logout-login of the software center, as well as a hard boot of the laptop | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | irc clients can colorize things.. not the people sending the test | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | text | 02:53 |
| yofun | hes useing xchat | 02:53 |
| yoojin | nogal: Well, try deleting the associated key files? And a system update if it's not too much trouble to ensure everything is up to date. | 02:54 |
| n-iCe | is there a way to share internet, but not as ad-hoc? | 02:56 |

| SkinnyV | Exit 0 | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. its 'exit 0' not 'Exit 0 | 03:14 |
| SkinnyV | it was written like that the first time I openned the script to edit | 03:14 |
| SkinnyV | so no capital E? | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | definatly 'exit 0' on every ubuntu install ive ever seen | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other...... in the comments at the top | 03:15 |

| RappaDrake | @Dr_Willis: Know anything? | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont use windows 8 ;) | 03:21 |
| RappaDrake | Dr_Willis: Well, in my defense, I got it for free :D | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ive heaerd its possible. but i dont have it, dont use it.. dont plan on getting it any time soon.. | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | guess he really dident want an answer | 03:23 |
| SkinnyV | lol he just wanted to let you know he got it for free | 03:26 |
| SkinnyV | well, It's finaly working somewhat | 03:26 |
| SkinnyV | that capital E probably made it harder to know which script was right or wrong | 03:27 |
| SkinnyV | im not sure if its really though | 03:28 |
| SkinnyV | The best that worked is this | 03:28 |
| SkinnyV | su USERNAME -c 'deluged'& | 03:28 |
| SkinnyV | screen -fa -d -m -S deluge-web deluge-web& | 03:28 |
| SkinnyV | exit 0 | 03:28 |
| Dr_Willis | you need to use the su user name with the screen command also.. unless you want screen running as root.. | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | and theres a space befor the & | 03:29 |
| SkinnyV | I cant get it to work with su | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | you need to qote the whole arument to su like the examples showed | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | su username -c 'screen x x x x x x' & | 03:30 |
| SkinnyV | i did try that | 03:30 |

| RappaDrake | @Frappe051: I would guess that there are some driver incompatibilities. | 03:33 |

| RappaDrake | Frappe051: Have you hit the forums yet? There should be something similar there. | 03:35 |
| frappe051 | I have searched a bit for mcp61 with some people saying they've gotten it to work but nothing I have tried worked yet | 03:36 |
| RappaDrake | Damn closed-source software engineers and such, making things difficult. | 03:37 |
| uangbesar | hey does anyone know of a blackberry manager for linux? | 03:37 |
| Dr_Willis | tried searching the repos yet uangbesar ? | 03:37 |
| RappaDrake | uangbesar: I'd check the repos, yeah. | 03:37 |
| uangbesar | yeah they just have things to back up. but nothing to acaully manage | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, http://www.progweb.com/modules/blackberry/index-en.html | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | im not sure really what you would 'manage' | 03:38 |
| RappaDrake | I would recommend just hooking up to a Windows machine to do that if you can. | 03:38 |
| uangbesar | install remove apps | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, urge you to only use native BB tools for that | 03:39 |
| RappaDrake | uangbesar: That isn't built-in functionality? Dude, upgrade to Android. | 03:39 |
| * Dr_Willis uses airdroid on android. :) | 03:39 | |
| uangbesar | i use a galax as well | 03:39 |
| RappaDrake | And also, I would make sure that you're not breaking anything with non-BB software. | 03:39 |
| * cfhowlett ... waiting for next check to get the nexus 4 ... or wait for the nexus 5? | 03:40 | |
| sporkeee | uangbesar, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/linberry-blackberry-phone-manager-for-linux | 03:40 |
| * RappaDrake is buying a Chromebook. Any recommendations? :D | 03:40 | |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, given BB's rapidly declining market share, I doubt that much more effort or support will be devoted to developing much of anything for it .. including linux. consider your options | 03:40 |
| uangbesar | cant install the repo | 03:41 |
| uangbesar | im an expat in indonesia. thats rims biggest market and it continues to grow here | 03:41 |
| RappaDrake | uangbesar: I think that you'll have to upgrade soon; like cfhowlett said, the market is getting slimmer and slimmer. | 03:41 |
| uangbesar | i have a galaxy. i only use it for bbm | 03:42 |
| RappaDrake | Have you looked at sporkeee's link up above? | 03:43 |

| cfhowlett | RappaDrake, best to ask in google/chrome | 03:46 |
| zoos_ | Greetings fellow r/ubuntuers, I need help after upgrading to 13.04 | 03:46 |
| cfhowlett | !raring|zoos_, | 03:47 |
| ubottu | zoos_,: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 03:47 |
| zoos_ | I'm on a laptop, I can't reduce the volume with fn+Fnumber anymore | 03:47 |
| ddsss | installed xubuntu 12.10 on uefi box. installation went good - but after reboot I get "Reboot and select proper boot device" | 03:47 |
| uangbesar | nope cant download 404 not found | 03:47 |
| ddsss | ^wht is the problem? | 03:47 |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, some would say "consider that a sign" :) | 03:48 |
| zoos_ | Before upgrading, I could also disable my WiFi radio with fn+F12, but can't anymore in 13.04 | 03:49 |
| uangbesar | i know back at home bb would be irrlevent but here it is actually important | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | zoos_, ask in #ubuntu+1 for beta support | 03:49 |
| zoos_ | Roger | 03:49 |
| ddsss | is there uubntu 13.04 final available yeat? | 03:49 |
| histo | ddsss: did it install in uefi mode or legacy? | 03:50 |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, understood. Doesn't make it any more likely to find a linux manager however. are there not windows tools? | 03:50 |
| ddsss | histo: it didn't ask me that... | 03:50 |
| histo | ddsss: I should say did it boot in efi mode or legacy mode | 03:50 |
| histo | !uefi | ddsss | 03:50 |
| ubottu | ddsss: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 03:50 |
| cfhowlett | ddsss, ask in #ubuntu+1 as it's not been released ye | 03:50 |
| uangbesar | i feel ya. just trying to not use winblows | 03:50 |
| histo | uangbesar: you maybe able to use wine or a windows vm worst case | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | uangbesar, wine + BB windows manager is a possible workaround | 03:51 |
| ronnie | hello? | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | ronnie, greetings | 03:52 |
| histo | cfhowlett: don't know if wine gives access to usb devices though. | 03:52 |
| ronnie | whats up | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | histo, thus the "perhaps/mabye" disclaimer | 03:53 |
| cfhowlett | ronnie, this is ubuntu support. Have you a technical issue? | 03:53 |
| ronnie | no what would be a good server just for chatting? | 03:54 |
| cfhowlett | #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:54 |
| ronnie | ok thx | 03:55 |
| SkinnyV | god, it is still not auto-booting, it's been hours | 03:55 |
| ronnie | is their a way to get itunes to work properlyon linux yet? if their is i will delete windows completly | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | better to delete itunes completly.... | 04:02 |
| ddsss | histo. efi mode,trying boot repair as suggwested - but it seems to ahve stuck there.... | 04:02 |
| ronnie | na i gotta have my itunes | 04:02 |
| histo | SkinnyV: Did you see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/261899/run-a-screen-session-on-boot-from-rc-local | 04:03 |
| histo | ddsss: What iso are you using? | 04:03 |
| jaynext | Hi | 04:03 |
| cfhowlett | jayne, greetings | 04:03 |
| histo | ronnie: Not that i'm aware of. Have you seen rhythmbox with or the music store? | 04:03 |
| ronnie | i have but only itunes alows me to mess with my apps | 04:04 |
| histo | ronnie: Ahh I dont use apple devices | 04:04 |
| ddsss | histo: xubunu 12.10 | 04:04 |
| histo | ddsss: 64bit? | 04:05 |
| ronnie | youd think someone wouldve found away by now lol i mean as long as this stuff has been out | 04:05 |
| ddsss | histo: yes | 04:05 |
| === derp_ is now known as derp | ||
| histo | ronnie: There are already ways to manage your ipod with linux outside of itunes. But not the app store etc... | 04:05 |
| SkinnyV | im giving you, I cant have the thing autostart. Is there a way to do this from the ubuntu gui? | 04:06 |
| SkinnyV | im giving up | 04:06 |
| ronnie | ya i know but i use the app store alot | 04:06 |
| histo | ddsss: On the page from ubottu about the uefi information it tells you how to determine if it's booting in efi mode or not based on the grub screen. If it's text based vs graphical.... | 04:06 |
| histo | SkinnyV: What is it that you want to do? | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | SkinnyV: you could make /etc/init/tty3.conf auto start it.. so you might see errors on tty3 ;) | 04:06 |
| histo | SkinnyV: You could have screen called in your bash_profile or whatever so it starts on login. | 04:06 |
| min|dvir|us | Hey. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on. | 04:06 |
| SkinnyV | ive been trying for the past 5 hours to have Deluge (a torrent client) to auto-start | 04:07 |
| ddsss | histo: but it never gets to grub screen.... | 04:07 |
| min|dvir|us | In JACK, I have system/capture_1 and _2 connected to system/playback_1 and _2 respectively and I can hear it. | 04:07 |
| Dr_Willis | id just ssh in and start the stuff as needed. | 04:07 |
| min|dvir|us | But plugging capture_1 and _2 into any input port does nothing. | 04:07 |
| histo | SkinnyV: oh.. Add deluge to your startup applications | 04:07 |
| min|dvir|us | It's complete silence. | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | ronnie, apple stuff has ALWAYS been problematic with any OS other than Apple by design. Direct requests for linux support to Apple ... and expect to be ignored. OR consider linux friendly devices and free yourself | 04:07 |
| ddsss | histo: I get "Reboot and select proper boot device" | 04:07 |
| min|dvir|us | Anyone good with JACK? | 04:07 |
| SkinnyV | I can have it all work if i enter the command manually by ssh to start deluge and the web ui but cant auto start it | 04:07 |
| histo | ddsss: Rigth you have to tell your system to boot from the installation media | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | min|dvir|us, ask in #ubuntustudio | 04:08 |
| SkinnyV | start up application? | 04:08 |
| min|dvir|us | I'm not on Ubuntu Studio. | 04:08 |
| histo | SkinnyV: is this a cli based system? | 04:08 |
| SkinnyV | to be honest, i am not sure, it is my first dedicated server and never used anything but windows before so im lost | 04:08 |
| ronnie | sorry ilove my ipod but i got android phone even though im not a fan of android | 04:09 |
| histo | SkinnyV: Does it have a Graphical interface or is it an actual server install? | 04:09 |
| SkinnyV | i can remote desktop to the gui using 22go, but have been installing stuff by ssh | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | SkinnyV: id just ssh in and start the things when you need.. how often are you rebooting this anyway? | 04:09 |
| SkinnyV | x2go | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | SkinnyV: this is a vps? or a machine you own? | 04:10 |
| SkinnyV | its a dedicated server, not a vps as far as i know | 04:10 |
| histo | SkinnyV: The other option is rtorrent has a daemon that you can run and monitor a directory for torrent files. It's all cli based. Or you'd have to consult the deluge docs to figure out your issue | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | 'dedicated server' means? | 04:10 |
| kyleczar8 | i am new to ubuntu and need help accessing my files that are saved in windows 7 | 04:10 |
| ronnie | anyone know when the ubuntu for android thing will be out? | 04:10 |
| SkinnyV | its a computer in a rack somwhere in france | 04:10 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, ubuntu is installed? | 04:11 |
| histo | kyleczar8: If you installed a dualboot setup you can just go in nautilus and click on your windblows drive. | 04:11 |
| ddsss | histo: yes. i've pressed F12 and seelcted usb drive. I the installed xubuntu just fine. But after reboot- when usb drive is out - I still get "Reboot and select proper boot device". It doesn't recognize my hdd as valid bootable device or something.... | 04:11 |
| Grungeman | I already search on google but I've been unable to find a solution to my issue... I have a compaq cq50 ... my internal microphone is not working.. I went to alsa settings and I turned everything all the way up.. still no go | 04:11 |
| Grungeman | hi all | 04:11 |
| SkinnyV | its basicly a computer that I can use for whatever i want but is not near me | 04:11 |
| histo | SkinnyV: deluge also has a daemon deluged | 04:12 |
| cfhowlett | Grungeman, greetings | 04:12 |
| Grungeman | hi cfhowlett | 04:12 |
| histo | !info deluged | SkinnyV | 04:12 |
| SkinnyV | thats what im trying to load histo | 04:12 |
| ubottu | SkinnyV: deluged (source: deluge): bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK (daemon). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.5-1ubuntu4 (quantal), package size 11 kB, installed size 114 kB | 04:12 |
| histo | SkinnyV: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html | 04:12 |
| SkinnyV | the thing is, i get it to work if I ssh in the system and manually type deluged, and then screen -fa -d -m -S deluge-web deluge-web | 04:13 |
| histo | SkinnyV: that's if when you install deluged it doesn't come with start stop scripts on it's own. | 04:13 |
| kyleczar8 | i am new to ubuntu and need help accessing my files that are saved in windows 7 | 04:13 |
| === yoojin is now known as yoojin_ | ||
| histo | SkinnyV: you should be able to sudo update-rc.d deluged defaults | 04:13 |
| Renzatic | hey, I'm having a slight problem with GIMP, and could use some advice on figuring out exactly why it isn't working | 04:13 |
| histo | SkinnyV: assuming it comes with them. | 04:13 |
| SkinnyV | i isntalled everything, jsut cant have it auto-start with the system | 04:13 |
| ronnie | i want pizza | 04:13 |
| kyleczar8 | i have it dual installed next to windows 7 | 04:13 |
| histo | kyleczar8: Then open nautilus or the file browser and you should see your windows drive. | 04:13 |
| Grungeman | cfhowlett, do you know how to fix it? | 04:13 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, so boot ubuntu, open the file manger and see your windows .... | 04:13 |

| SrPx | Is there a command to move all files in a folder to another folder, filtering by type ? (only directories) | 04:14 |
| cfhowlett | Grungeman, restate your problem ... | 04:14 |
| min|dvir|us | SrPx: man find | 04:14 |
| histo | SrPx: you only want to move directories and not files? | 04:14 |
| Grungeman | cfhowlett, I have a compaq presario cq50 101la. the problem is that the internal microphone is not working... I already went to alsa settings and turned everything all the way up... still no go | 04:14 |
| SrPx | histo: | 04:14 |
| SrPx | histo: yes | 04:15 |
| histo | SrPx: find . -type d -exec mv {} + | 04:15 |
| histo | SrPx: I'd do a dry run first | 04:15 |
| SkinnyV | i seem to be able to get deluged to start with rc.local, but the web ui command doesnt seem to load from there | 04:15 |
| Grungeman | I have ubuntu 12.04 cfhowlett | 04:15 |
| histo | SrPx: hodl up you need the destination | 04:15 |
| SrPx | min|dvir|us: but what does find have to do with moving? | 04:15 |
| SrPx | oh | 04:15 |
| SrPx | nevermind | 04:15 |
| cfhowlett | Grungeman, got it. lemme think | 04:15 |
| ronnie | is it good if im19 still in high school and already diveing into linux and can use it fairly well? | 04:15 |
| Renzatic | what it's doing is hanging when I fire it up. It'll sit around, consuming 99% of one CPU, and do absolutely nothing for the longest time. Then, sometimes an hour later if I happen to forget about it,it'll open right up | 04:15 |
| kyleczar8 | sorry i am new, what is nautilus | 04:15 |
| SrPx | histo: :) | 04:15 |
| histo | SrPx: because it finds the directories and then executes the move command | 04:15 |
| cfhowlett | !ot|ronnie, | 04:15 |

| kyleczar8 | i go to my home folder in ubuntu and cant find my windows files anywhere | 04:16 |
| Grungeman | kyleczar8, go to /media/ | 04:16 |
| histo | kyleczar8: in the left frame of the file browser window | 04:16 |
| johnjohn1011 | how do i now if i have the latest patched to the 3.5 kernel for precise | 04:16 |
| kyleczar8 | do i download it in the ubuntu software manger | 04:16 |
| SrPx | histo: thanks, but explain the {} /to/whereever + ? | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, home is your ubuntu /home ... go to /computer | 04:16 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, no it's already installed. | 04:16 |
| betrayd | SrPx replace the last part of that | 04:17 |
| histo | SrPx: {} gets replaced with the results of the find | 04:17 |

| SrPx | histo: how | 04:19 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, look for file manager. that's nautilus | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | rckrd: plex works. from what ive played with it. | 04:20 |
| histo | kyleczar8: Please open a terminal and type in mount and hit enter also type in lsblk and hit enter. Then pastebin the results | 04:20 |
| histo | SrPx: with cp | 04:20 |
| rckrd | Ok, well currently I have a server running on port 32400. But i'd like to run it on normal http 80, so my URL doesnt have to be rckrd.com:32400/web/index | 04:21 |
| histo | SrPx: rsync -a /some/directory /to/some/destination would be a sufficient backup of the files. Before you go messing around moving things and deleting stuff. | 04:21 |
| histo | rckrd: Are you hosting any other web pages on this box? | 04:22 |
| SrPx | histo: hm okay! thanks | 04:22 |
| rckrd | From the web interface, it looks like i changed the server to port 80 and the url to /music, but even after restarting it doesnt seem to work. The server isnt using a router. | 04:22 |
| cfhowlett | rckrd, possibly a good question for #ubuntu-server | 04:22 |
| rckrd | histo: yeah, i have an apache web server | 04:22 |
| Grungeman | can I ask again? | 04:22 |
| histo | rckrd: Yes I understand that... Are you hosting any other pages | 04:22 |
| kyleczar8 | by pastebin the results, do you mean paste the results in this window or ?? | 04:23 |
| ddsss | if one installs Ubuntu 13.04 beta how would one the upgrade to a final? | 04:23 |
| rckrd | histo: no | 04:23 |
| cfhowlett | Grungeman, yeah, repeat at 10 minute intervals | 04:23 |

| thomedy | it has been a while since i have ran such a raw text editor | 04:24 |
| dodo3773 | rckrd: I don't think running on port 80 will work / makes any sense. Does it work if you use 8080 or 443 etc..? | 04:24 |

| dodo3773 | histo: rckrd is talking about "plex server". I don't think it's a server OS. Unless I missed that | 04:26 |
| histo | thomedy: Oh press escape first to get in command mode the :2 | 04:26 |
| histo | thomedy: :w sorry typo with the 2 | 04:26 |
| histo | dodo3773: Yeah plex server hosts a web page controlled by apache. It's currently listening on port xxxx and he wants it to be his default site. | 04:27 |
| Renzatic | Okay, so I'm having Linux GIMP problems. Mainly that it takes three years short of forever to launch, and consumes 99% of one CPUs cycles until it does | 04:27 |
| Renzatic | and I need to know why it's doing that. Sometimes if I forget to kill it from the terminal, it'll just pop up an hour or so later like nothing was wrong | 04:27 |
| Renzatic | ...and it's weirding me out | 04:27 |
| cfhowlett | Renzatic, are you running unity? | 04:27 |
| kyleczar8 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594610/ | 04:27 |
| Renzatic | nope, Gnome3 | 04:27 |
| Renzatic | 3.6 on Ubuntu 12.10 to be specific | 04:28 |
| dodo3773 | histo: Oh. Is apache a hard dep of plexmediaserver or something? | 04:28 |
| sporkeee | Renzatic, gimp 2.8 | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | Renzatic, install xfce4 or lxde. boot into that and run gimp. lighter load on the gpu/cpu might fix | 04:28 |
| thomedy | okay i actually do have vi.. wtf... okay heres the context... i can do it just like i remember when i test vi name and the :wq | 04:28 |
| histo | kyleczar8: check in /media/owner/SYSTEM are you windows files there? Also your lsblk output got cut off on that paste | 04:28 |
| thomedy | but im trying to teach myself git repos right now | 04:28 |
| dodo3773 | histo: I still think for some reason we are talking about 2 completely different things. | 04:28 |
| Renzatic | yup. I've tried the rev from the software center, and another one I grabbed off a not too suspicious looking PPA | 04:28 |
| thomedy | and it openes into something that mustnot be vi | 04:28 |
| Renzatic | both do the same thing | 04:28 |
| thomedy | and in that i cant seem to get the normal :vi | 04:29 |
| Renzatic | I tried it a few minutes ago, and it fired right up. Then I closed it to see if it'd do it again, and same problem | 04:29 |
| histo | dodo3773: He's talking about web hosting part of plex | 04:29 |
| min|dvir|us | thomedy: git will use either the editor set in you gitconfig or $EDITOR. | 04:29 |
| Renzatic | it'll show it's loading at the top left, then just...nothing | 04:29 |
| histo | dodo3773: afaik | 04:29 |
| min|dvir|us | *your | 04:29 |
| histo | thomedy: which vi will show you and make sure it's not a symlink | 04:30 |
| dodo3773 | histo: Do you mean "flex"? | 04:30 |
| thomedy | im trying to figure out wher ethe editer var is in the settings | 04:30 |
| thomedy | so i can switch it to vi | 04:30 |
| histo | dodo3773: no | 04:30 |
| thomedy | but like i said im new to git | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Renzatic: run it from terminal yet and see if any messages give a clue? | 04:30 |
| min|dvir|us | thomedy: have you tried Googling exactly that? | 04:30 |
| rckrd | histo: apache2.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/5594614/ | 04:31 |
| thomedy | no ijust found out what the problem was | 04:31 |
| thomedy | i thought i had vi | 04:31 |
| Renzatic | I'll try it again. Usually it just gives me a blinking cursor and nothing else. One sec | 04:31 |
| thomedy | i googled that | 04:31 |

| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, loop? did you use the windows installer? | 04:32 |
| Renzatic | okay, well that's weird | 04:32 |
| Renzatic | it's now working without a single hitch | 04:32 |
| histo | kyleczar8: check /host what files are there? | 04:32 |
| bitcrusher | man rename is that a perl thing? | 04:32 |
| histo | rckrd: wth is plex using for a web server then | 04:32 |
| min|dvir|us | bitcrusher: `mv` | 04:33 |
| Renzatic | now that I'm thinking about it, would a theme conflict cause it to hang? | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | histo, /dev/loop suggest wubi to me ... or am I misinformed? | 04:33 |
| dodo3773 | Renzatic: It definitely could. | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Renzatic: ive herd of some weird thingsd happening with some themes | 04:33 |
| sporkeee | kyleczar8, Did you install ubuntu from windows? | 04:33 |
| histo | cfhowlett: ahh could be | 04:33 |
| kyleczar8 | sporkeee, yes i did.. | 04:33 |
| bitcrusher | min|dvir|us: hmm it says provided by:perl_5.8.7 | 04:34 |
| dodo3773 | Dr_Willis: ditto. gtk3 can be a nightmare | 04:34 |
| histo | kyleczar8: is this a wubi install? | 04:34 |
| kyleczar8 | yes | 04:34 |
| sporkeee | lol | 04:34 |
| Renzatic | I'm thinking that might be it. Whenever I switch it to the orange and grey theme, it'll always switch back to a mix between it and default whenever it decides to fire up again | 04:34 |
| kyleczar8 | i used the Windows installer to do it on the website. | 04:34 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, and there it is. windows installer is aka wubi ... and has been discontinued for good reason | 04:34 |
| histo | kyleczar8: I don't believe you can access the files from windows in linux when you use wubi | 04:34 |
| Renzatic | this time I switched it back to default when I got into it, and it's working fine | 04:34 |
| kyleczar8 | NOOOOOOOO | 04:34 |
| Renzatic | let me try it again just to make sure | 04:34 |
| histo | kyleczar8: No what? If you install ubuntu as a dualboot system you will be able to access your windows partition just fine. | 04:35 |
| kyleczar8 | I was having difficulties installing from a cd so i thought it was easier :( | 04:35 |
| histo | kyleczar8: install from a thumb drive | 04:35 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, consider a proper dual boot or install use virtualbox. by design, windows is invisible to ubuntu under a wubi install ... so things don't get brokken | 04:35 |
| histo | !usb | kyleczar8 | 04:35 |
| ubottu | kyleczar8: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:35 |
| Renzatic | ha! guess that did it! | 04:35 |
| Grungeman | Hi all.. I already tried google without any luck... I have a compaq cq50 ... the internal mic is not working, I already went to alsa settings and turned everything up all the way... still no go | 04:35 |
| Renzatic | started it 3 times, and it hasn't given me a problem since I switched the theme to default | 04:36 |
| kyleczar8 | Thanks guys, how should i go about removing the version of ubuntu i have now? | 04:36 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, but if your issue is ONLY seeing some windows files, install ubuntuone or dropbox on both OS and keep your files there. | 04:36 |
| sporkeee | kyleczar8, I think you can, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_access_the_Windows_drives.3F | 04:36 |
| Renzatic | welp, thanks for the help everyone! :D | 04:36 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, just go into windows control delete ubuntu | 04:36 |
| rckrd | histo: so i tried to listen on 32400 in my ports.conf, but it said that there was an error because the port was already in use. So plex might be working not with apache | 04:36 |
| Renzatic | til my next stupid question. o/ | 04:36 |
| histo | kyleczar8: in control panel from windows you can remove it. There is also a migration guide but It's rather difficult if you haven't done too many modifications to your ubuntu it may not be worht migrating wubi to a dualboot. It's faster to just reinstall. | 04:36 |
| histo | rckrd: Right I'm assuming they have their own web server or something goofy going on. You'd have to ask the plex people I'm affraid. | 04:37 |
| sporkeee | kyleczar8, You can transfer that wubi to a partition if you like. | 04:37 |
| histo | rckrd: /j #plex | 04:38 |
| rckrd | ok thanks for the help | 04:38 |
| kyleczar8 | thanks for the help, i am new to ubuntu but love it so far. I think I am going to uninstall and then redo it from a usb.. seems like the wubi was not worth it in the long run. | 04:38 |
| sporkeee | kyleczar8, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi | 04:38 |
| cfhowlett | kyleczar8, best of luck. come back if you need help | 04:38 |
| histo | kyleczar8: No wubi has been discontinued as dualboot has matured enough to be safe and more reliable. Reinstall a true dualboot system or follow the migrate guide that sporkeee posted | 04:39 |

| sporkeee | histo, Yes I know it has been discontinued, however you can access bthe OS from each other, and a migrate is a full install. | 04:41 |
| sporkeee | both* | 04:41 |
| Grungeman | histo, that's what I am saying.. I already checked the volume on the Icon.. checked that nothing is mute.. etc... also did it with alsa settings | 04:41 |

| Iordanis | A generaly type of question: If you edit someone elses code are you allowed to distributed since it can be considered your code? | 04:59 |
| Iordanis | Thinking of it from the art work perspective | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | depends on how they licensed their code | 05:00 |
| RandomSort | Depends on the licene | 05:00 |

| SwedeMike | Iordanis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_license as well | 05:02 |
| Iordanis | SwedeMike I understand that different licenses allow you different rights over some source code | 05:03 |
| Iordanis | SwedeMike my question is if you modify a code completely, is it still under the original owners license? | 05:04 |
| Iordanis | In art works if you modify another picture it is considered yours | 05:04 |
| RandomSort | Iordanis: You're probably not going to get the answer you want, which is obviously" Yes you can do it" | 05:05 |

| bullitt | sporkee: I actually have an easier time using slackware, but installed ubuntu to test it out.. Would I just delete the format/delete partition and start over with a slack boot? | 05:12 |

| chaos7theory | Alright. | 07:16 |
| histo | chaos7theory: what kind of suggestions? | 07:16 |
| chaos7theory | It's more on a question of Wubi vs. native Ubuntu and what may be sugegsted overall. | 07:17 |

| chaos7theory | Even in performance? | 07:18 |
| Myrtti | chaos7theory: wubi isnt supported in the future | 07:18 |
| cfhowlett | chaos7theory, wubi has been given permission to die | 07:18 |
| Myrtti | in which future equals future releases, including this Thursday one | 07:19 |
| chaos7theory | Well in light of Ubuntu 13.04 and seeing how vastly better it's been since 12.10, I'm debating on dual-booting or not. It's a new laptop that came with Windows 8 OOB, but I only have so much HDD space as well @_@ | 07:19 |
| Myrtti | thats the reason it's bring dropped, it doesn't work so well with w8 | 07:21 |
| auronandace | Myrtti: and here i was hoping it was being dropped because they finally realised how much of a bad idea it was | 07:22 |
| Myrtti | auronandace: it works well in the function it is intended for | 07:23 |
| Myrtti | well, worked | 07:23 |
| auronandace | Myrtti: i found it was a support nightmare and people were using it as a long term solution (which wasn't what it was intended for, as you siad) | 07:24 |
| cfhowlett | Myrtti, if people only used it for its intended purpose ... "if" | 07:24 |
| Myrtti | indeed. | 07:24 |

| nanda | whatt'] | 07:27 |
| nanda | go | 07:27 |
| cfhowlett | 12.10 has 18 months support | 07:27 |
| nanda | jda] | 07:28 |
| auronandace | cfhowlett: which is much shorter than 5 years | 07:28 |
| Myrtti | auronandace: possibly. although things might change and support for wubi might be yanked. never know. | 07:28 |
| auronandace | Myrtti: thanks for the info, the sooner its history the better | 07:29 |

| k610 | histo, thing is i'd like not to touch this machine no more and just ssh in it all day | 07:42 |
| chaos7theory | Now this IS a support question. Even even today's terms, there's no real means to uninstall Ubuntu from a dual-boot, correct? Or has GRUB changed since then? | 07:42 |

| chaos7theory | That doesn't damage the Windows' boot files? | 07:43 |
| histo | k610: well you don't dist-upgrade it. You install safe upgrades | 07:44 |
| starbuck | hi, why is apt-get update ignoring some repositories? | 07:44 |
| chaos7theory | I'm assuming a Windows/Ubuntu Dual-Boot | 07:44 |
| auronandace | chaos7theory: you can reinstall the windows bootloader if you have a windows install cd | 07:44 |
| histo | chaos7theory: nvm ignore that | 07:44 |
| k610 | i see what commands should i run to keep updated then : apt-get update + apt-get upgrade ? | 07:44 |
| histo | k610: nvmthey got rid of safe-upgrade | 07:45 |

| histo | sandeepr: packages are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives/ you can apt-get clean to clear them | 07:52 |

| k610 | had to ctrl+c on the pysical machine again then it would go on to the logon | 07:55 |
| chaos7theory | Something that's never seemed to be directly answered, but looking at the Beta files under the release page of ubuntu, under the AMB64 files it mentions only AMD processors. Should it really matter if you have an AMD64 or an Intel 64 processor? | 07:57 |
| histo | k610: Is it still hanging at grub screen on boot? | 07:57 |
| histo | k610: or are you just venting | 07:57 |
| k610 | venting ? ill try a reboot now again | 07:58 |
| auronandace | chaos7theory: its a misnomer, amd64 is the arch and it is used by both amd and intel | 07:58 |
| histo | k610: check your grub timeout in /etc/default/grub | 07:58 |
| auronandace | chaos7theory: just think of it as amd64 simply means 64bit | 07:58 |
| k610 | i did a hardware button reset and its freezing on grub now | 07:59 |
| chaos7theory | So why don't they simply say x86-64? | 07:59 |
| k610 | histo, GRUB_TIMEOUT = 2 | 07:59 |
| auronandace | chaos7theory: because they named it after amd who got there before intel (i agree it should be 86_64) | 08:00 |
| histo | k610: and does it have a default line ot boot? | 08:00 |
| k610 | histo, it's selecting the right line | 08:00 |
| histo | k610: key try rebooting it should only sit there for 2 seconds and boot the default line then. | 08:00 |
| k610 | histo, i did an ssh reboot and the machine went to a black screen without passing by grub | 08:01 |
| histo | k610: Is the machine up? | 08:01 |

| otGO | hey guys! could someone help me, please. I have a laptop where I have installed ubuntu and Win 7. after bios update UEFI is not working, thus ubuntu is not loading. I have some important information saved on Ubuntu partition. is there any way to recover that info? I know the account password if that helps | 08:47 |
| pankaj_ | surely jatakk | 08:47 |
| petan | otGO yes it is | 08:47 |
| petan | otGO you installed win 7 after ubuntu right? | 08:48 |
| petan | win 7 has very shitty installer | 08:48 |
| otGO | petan: not exactly. it came with win7, then I went through hell to install ubuntu( i had no idea what UEFI is) | 08:48 |
| petan | aha | 08:48 |
| otGO | and then i did bios update | 08:48 |
| petan | ok in order to boot from uefi you need to create a boot partition in fat32 | 08:49 |
| petan | usually ubuntu installer takes care of that | 08:49 |
| otGO | and then decided to do a clean Win install, where i was faced with the problem of GPT partitioning, and then realised that Ubuntu is not loading either | 08:49 |
| petan | did you have uefi boot before you update your bios? | 08:49 |
| otGO | petan: yes I did. | 08:49 |

| CFenix | hi everyone, i need to create a shortcut to a program I installed but didn't generate it, i can still open it by typing the the name | 08:49 |
| otGO | petan: i think, i did. | 08:50 |
| petan | so you did a clean install of win7 after the udate of bios | 08:50 |
| petan | and are you sure win 7 didn't remove any of the ubuntu partitions? | 08:50 |
| otGO | petan: i tried to. but i was unable to because of GPT partitioning style | 08:50 |
| petan | eh, so can you explain to me what exactly you did? you had ubuntu + win7 working, 2) you updated bios 3) ????? | 08:51 |
| otGO | petan: not sure if you can read it, but here's a thread detailing it: rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?32160-N56VM-bios-upgrade(214)-can-t-install-Win7 | 08:51 |

| superdo | hi | 09:43 |
| pankaj_ | Guest98218 swear something entertaining | 09:43 |
| superdo | if I copy files to an usb drive (~250MB files) why the system waits 30 second after copying each file? | 09:43 |
| vlt | superdo: Because it has to actually *write* to USB after reading (fast) from disk | 09:45 |
| superdo | so my usb drive is so slow in writing? | 09:45 |
| nevyn | if you're getting 10mb/s to a usb drive you're doing ok. | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | superdo: What do you mean by "waits"? | 09:47 |
| superdo | nevyn, the writing is fast, tbh, but I gut a "frozen" state for a half min | 09:47 |
| superdo | Jordan_U, ^ | 09:47 |
| nevyn | superdo: the system shouldn't be "frozen" unless it's an ancient singlecore box | 09:47 |
| Jordan_U | superdo: Do you mean that the progress bar in the GUI file manager gets close to the end then stops? | 09:48 |
| superdo | no | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | superdo: Please explain exactly what you're seeing. | 09:48 |
| superdo | Krusader copy window, the percentage goes to 37% to 38 in a sec, then it waits for ~ 30 sec | 09:49 |
| nashant | Alright guys. Anyone know if there's a plan to release a live usb image that actually supports uefi without any tinkering and without having to boot a live usb and chroot after installing? | 09:50 |
| DJones | superdo: That sounds like the system is reading the first part of the file into memory and filling up the write buffer, then because writing is slower to usb, it has to pause as the buffer starts writing before it can continue | 09:50 |
| superdo | plus, after a file is copied, console text is: Stalled | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | nashant: The current 12.10 images should do that, provided that you dd them to the USB drive rather than using Unetbootin or similar tools. | 09:51 |
| superdo | DJones, is it a normal behaviour? | 09:51 |
| nashant | Jordan_U: oh. So impossible from windows then | 09:51 |
| DJones | superdo: I get the same thing with nautilus when copying large files to usb | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | nashant: No, there is dd for Windows, as well as other image writers (though I haven't personally used any). | 09:52 |
| nevyn | nashant: ubootin works for that.. | 09:52 |
| nashant | nevyn: I beg to differ. Been trying that. It also has an issue where it copies deb and udeb files across with the wrong names | 09:53 |
| nevyn | nashant: I used universal usb installer and installed a uefi system with it. | 09:53 |
| nevyn | nashant: ie: I lie. | 09:53 |
| superdo | ok thanks all, I accept it, and wait :) | 09:53 |
| DJones | superdo: I doubt its anything to worry about | 09:54 |
| nevyn | superdo: heavy IO should not make the system unresponsive.. unless it's absolutely ancient. | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | nashant: To be clear, I don't know to what extent various liveUSB tools work WRT Ubuntu and UEFI, but I do know that dd works. | 09:54 |
| nevyn | like pentium II ancient.. | 09:54 |
| superdo | nevyn, i used "frozen" incorrectly | 09:54 |
| nevyn | console text is: Stalled ... | 09:54 |
| otGO | could someone please help me to recover data from a partition I am unable to boot? | 09:55 |
| Jordan_U | nashant: You're being very unclear. Please explain exactly what you're doing and what you're seeing (err on the side of givng more information). | 09:55 |

| Jordan_U | otGO: If the only problem is that you can't boot from it (rather than for example not being able to boot from it because the drive is failing or the filesystem is corrupt), then you should be able to just boot from a LiveDVD/USB and copy files wherever you want them from ther. | 09:58 |

| Jordan_U | nashant: It may be worth trying Fedora, as it has better UEFI support in some areas (like graphics drivers, which seems to be at least part of your issue). If you can get a Fedora liveUSB to boot, then you should be able to get Ubuntu to boot also, with a little (or possibly a lot of) work. | 10:08 |

I deleted the xorg.conf and still it does not recognize my monitor, it leaves without a signal. Running the Nouveau drivers. | 11:55 |
| DrGrov | I have to use a live CD to get my monitor recognized. | 11:56 |

| deepin | Hi,everyone i have a problem about bash.bashrc: whe i use vim in gnome-shell ,it can't auto complete the command. | 13:00 |
| petoo | I had problems with 12.04, but it was because of hard disk. It used to crash the OS. | 13:00 |
| betrayd | Potato: does nvidia server settings let you set rez you can say 1440x900@freq for example in there | 13:01 |
| petoo | But I don't think its anywhere close to your problem. | 13:01 |
| petoo | *My Screen used to freeze.* | 13:01 |
| Potato | betrayd: The Display Config is set to auto resolution, and I can't edit the settings because I'm not "root" | 13:02 |

| Potato | deepin: isn't that only in terminal? | 13:03 |
| Pici | !gksudo | 13:03 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 13:03 |
| deepin | :Ptotato: yes | 13:03 |

| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 13:05 |
| Potato | I've already set a root password, but how do I enable root user login? | 13:06 |
| petoo | !wfm | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 13:07 |
| tom_ | you can't ,it fobid user login as root from recently version | 13:07 |
| petoo | !root | 13:07 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:07 |

| Dr_willis | !clone | 13:37 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 13:37 |

| crash_cy | Dr_willis it is shutting itself off, but varies a bit on how long before it does | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, this is why the service 'apt-cacher-ng' is often used to cache things for the whole lan | 13:40 |
| crash_cy | Generally I make it to the desktop but can't really open anything from there before it has shut down | 13:40 |
| benjick | jrib: I installed apache2, suphp and php5-cgi. I uploaded a website and tried to visit it. I got that error in the logs. | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, you got stuff in your apt cache. but it wont be EVERYTHING. and it can also be outdated by the time you reinstall the other system. | 13:41 |
| Nyger | Hi - I'm trying to install php 5.3.4+ on my ubuntu virtual server and have troubles with aptitude. Someone willing to help? | 13:41 |

| chunkyhead | i am going to reinstall ubuntu alot of issues with unity after i installed cairo dock. so basically i need to get all the packages back. won't be able to cache them over lan Dr_willis | 13:42 |
| Dr_willis | crash_cy, then monitor the heat of the system if its iverheating | 13:42 |
| jrib | benjick: you should give a lot more details. Basically make it so someone else could recreate what you did. | 13:42 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, thats odd. I have no issues with Cairo Dock alongside unity. | 13:42 |
| Nyger | I found this KB article, but I don't have add-apt-repository on my instance installed somehow | 13:42 |
| crash_cy | Dr_willis, will do. Does Ubuntu have a way of monitoring heat built in, or do I need to find an app for that? | 13:43 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, if they are not in the cache they will get auto-downloaded as needed. you dont really install an app.. remove its deb.. then somehow rebuild the deb from the system.. (seen that done on android, but not linux) | 13:43 |
| benjick | It's a brand new install, that's all I did, I'm not really sure what to expand on. But I saw now I didn't do an upgrade, so I'll try that and come back | 13:43 |

| Dr_willis | thers a lot of issues where the 3d drivers get confused/unity/compiz get confused and unity only half loads.. | 13:47 |
| Dr_willis | never really seen a definitive fix, or answer as to why it does it | 13:47 |
| chunkyhead | it isn't showing unity interface where i can login in it | 13:47 |
| chunkyhead | ^ Dr_willis | 13:48 |
| Nyger | Pici: thanks a lot, that worked. | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, you mean the Lightdm login screen? thats the login screen. | 13:49 |
| chunkyhead | yeah, when we click on the icon top right of the login box, we can choose the interface there, right? unity isn't listed there only cairo is idk how or hwy | 13:49 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: Log in to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop", which shall get you the default Ubuntu system packages (nothing will be removed, though) | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, lightdm has a icon just to the right of the login name field. If Unity is missing from there, You may want to reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package | 13:51 |
| chunkyhead | theadmin, let me give that a try, just asking i'd installed dolphin, and other explorers you had recommened and had later on removed them and reinstalled nautius back on. can this make any difference? | 13:51 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, ^ | 13:52 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: Hm, dunno honestly, doubt it. | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely remove anything.. i dont see the point in it.. unless you are short of hd space | 13:52 |
| chunkyhead | thought so | 13:52 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, yeah like i said earlier have bit of an OCD | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | I got kubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop all installed on the system | 13:52 |
| Dr_willis | time to learn to get over it... | 13:52 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, but then too many application slow down the computer. :\ | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, no... to many apps RUNNING at the same time will use more cpu... | 13:53 |
| Dr_willis | many apps Installed.. take up HD space. | 13:53 |
| Botreak | can anybody help me with wifi adapter usb? | 13:53 |
| chunkyhead | more HD space, more data access time :\ Dr_willis | 13:54 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: That makes no sense, you know | 13:54 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, not really.. | 13:54 |
| chunkyhead | theadmin, Dr_willis i am a computer engineer. i know :| | 13:54 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: UNIX filesystems hardly fragment -- that'd be the case with Windows, yeah, because NTFS is such NTFS | 13:55 |
| Botreak | i agree with chucky | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, i think you are confused.. | 13:55 |
| chunkyhead | brb i'll let u know gtg have some soup | 13:55 |
| Dr_willis | if its loading unity desktop.. it dosent matter if you got kde installed or not.. its still just loading unity stuff | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:56 |
| DrGrov | Does anyone know how to help me to restore my xorg.conf to a standard default one? I can not still boot into 12.04, it just says it can not show the screen. | 13:57 |
| chunkyhead | back, ok tell me if your disk is 500GB you fresh format it and then install an OS and then you don't install any packages on it for abt say 1 year, over that period of time you end up storing alot of data on it and your HD is almost full. will your PC run as smooth as it used to when it was first installed? | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | DrGrov, by default there is no xorg.conf - X auto configures these days | 13:57 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, on ubuntu/linux - yes. | 13:57 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, in my experience no. :\ | 13:58 |
| DrGrov | Dr_willis: Yes, I know. I stumbled upon a serious issue today. It did not show me any signal from my TV and I did not intentionally at least do any changes to Xorg.conf. I have to have Xorg.conf in order to get my TV screen running at 1920x1080 and not just 1360x768. | 13:58 |
| Dr_willis | if your OS is using 20gb.. and you put on 80gb of video files.. on a 100gb hd.. it will still be the same | 13:58 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, in my experience - it is the same.. | 13:58 |
| chunkyhead | idk then.. | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | with your logic.. a 10gb installed os - would run slower on a 15gb hd... then a 10000gb hd.. just because of the HD size.. | 13:59 |
| Dr_willis | of course if you want best speeds.. get a SSD these days. ;) | 14:00 |
| Dr_willis | then a lot of the rules change | 14:00 |
| Coldfire202 | damn. | 14:00 |
| Coldfire202 | I need help when I get home. | 14:00 |
| chunkyhead | no no Dr_willis not that. over a period of time the disk gets fragmented. think of a linked list first node is stored at data loc 100 other at 10000 other at 10 hence it takes time for the head to reach those cells hence the difference in speed | 14:00 |
| yoojinp | Excuse me, would somebody like to perform xrdb -query -all to let me see what a 'normal' output looks like? | 14:01 |
| chunkyhead | on the other hand when you fresh install everything is pretty much together and hence fastest | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, ive never had an issue with ext2/3/4 fragmenting | 14:01 |
| iceroot | chunkyhead: fragmenation is a problem for fat and ntfs but not ext | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | and if the os files dont change/move - then they wont get fragmented in the first place. | 14:01 |
| chunkyhead | not the OS files lol. i said data Dr_willis | 14:01 |
| Dr_willis | there are ext2/3/4 defragmenting tools.. but ive never used them | 14:01 |
| DrGrov | Dr_willis: Should I post my xorg.conf just in case? | 14:01 |
| iceroot | Dr_willis: there are virusscanners for GNu/Linux-Desktops too. its useful like the fragmentation tools | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | You said the OS would get slower.. why would it slow down if unread data/video files are fragmented or not? | 14:02 |
| chunkyhead | my bad. OS as in the response time to access a location would increase, slow in that sense | 14:02 |
| Dr_willis | if you are that worried about it all.. run one of those defragment tools and se eif it helps | 14:03 |
| chunkyhead | that takes a lot of time on a disk with memory in TBs :| | 14:03 |
| yoojinp | Dr_willis: I suppose distance from the two farthest points on the drive, filewise. Physically a millisecond or so? xD | 14:03 |
| iceroot | chunkyhead: have a look what ext2/3/4 is and how it is managing the data then you will see that fragmentation is not an issue for that filesystems | 14:03 |
| theadmin | Guys, this has *nothing* to do with Ubuntu, please get back on topic | 14:03 |
| chunkyhead | iceroot, Dr_willis ok i can't comment much on ext fs coz i am not used it extensively nor do i know how it stores | 14:03 |
| chunkyhead | probably you're right then | 14:03 |
| Dr_willis | i belive most everyone in this channel has never needed to defragment their ubuntu boxs ;) | 14:04 |
| wilee-nilee | cough fsck | 14:04 |
| chunkyhead | i hope you're right Dr_willis :) | 14:04 |
| yoojinp | Actually, I really need to know what the normal output of xrdb -query -all looks like. I ran xrdb to update the configuration without opting to append. Instead the files were deleted. | 14:04 |
| yoojinp | Contents* were deleted. | 14:04 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: That's not defragmentation, that's checking for FS damage | 14:04 |
| Dr_willis | DrGrov, you could try just move/renameing the xorg.conf and see if not having one helps | 14:05 |
| chunkyhead | but afaik (from what i have experienced) ubuntu has become slow for me. bootup time was <10 initially now it takes more than 30secs, but i am guessing that's due to the loads of apps i install everyday hence i feel the need to remove them too :\ | 14:05 |
| DrGrov | Dr_willis: Okay, I could do that. I just wonder why it did work last night at 1920x1080. Probably some minor issue after all :) | 14:05 |
| Dr_willis | i dont really worry about 30 sec boot times.. when i got 30+day uptimes. | 14:05 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: If apps are daemons, that could be the reason, other than that... | 14:05 |
| chunkyhead | and it's been more than 1hr since unity --reset was started, still hasn't finished my tty isn't free so i can install unity desktop :| theadmin Dr_willis | 14:06 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: Ctrl-C or use another tty | 14:06 |
| BluesKaj | chunkyhead, it helps to run autoremove and autoclean periodically to remove old files that are no longer used | 14:06 |
| zach | Hi everyone. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 on a macbook pro that was purchased about 1.5 or 2 months ago. I seem to have most things finally working, but I cannot get sound to work. How can I diagnose this problem and ultimately solve it? | 14:06 |
| yoojinp | chunkyhead, what about CTRL-ALT-[F1-F6]? | 14:06 |
| iceroot | zach: #ubuntu+1 | 14:07 |
| chunkyhead | i always wanted to ask this what's daemon. BlueEagle in what reference are you talking yoojin i am just saying unity --reset is taking alot of time :) | 14:07 |
| theadmin | chunkyhead: Windows term for "daemon" is "service" if that makes sense to you :P | 14:07 |
| teamblack | ¡ | 14:07 |

| zach | iceroot: Is #ubuntu+1 for people ahead of the most stable release? | 14:08 |
| DrGrov | Dr_willis: I already removed it once though and did nothing to help :/ Isn't there any universal X resetter or something that I could work with? I get into GRUB but I can not then write to the file system any commands | 14:08 |
| iceroot | zach: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for ubuntu versions which are still a beta and not a final release | 14:08 |

| wilee-nilee | felon, the 10.04 desktop is end of life on may 9th, you may want a later release. | 14:14 |
| Yonny | I have 2 hard disks, one Ubuntu on each one (10.04 + 12.04), and after installing the new Pangolin, the machine keeps booting through grub of the old ubuntu (10.04). I can see all the "new, correct" entries in the new grub.cfg on the Pangolin partition , though, can I just copy them over and add them to the old-still-active grub.cfg, that is actually the one loading right now, and then have that one start the desired OS? (I would rather not have to change anyth | 14:15 |
| Yonny | ing in the bios/boot order, in case sda suddenly becomes sdb, which makes problems with mount points etc. in the old Ubuntu, which I will need for a while yet) | 14:15 |
| DrGrov | Dr_willis: How would I get rid of Xorg.conf completely then and skip using them completely? | 14:15 |
| jrib | Yonny: the 10.04 grub will find your 12.04 install if you run update-grub | 14:16 |
| Yonny | jrib: but then I have to start that old ubuntu, and right now, a couple of the sdx-numbers have changed, so I rather not start the old ubuntu before I have all those pointers correct in both the boot loader and in for example FStab... | 14:17 |
| Fuzzles | how come i cant get my graphics driver from additional drivers anymore? | 14:17 |
| jrib | Yonny: you should be using UUIDs anyway, not sdX | 14:17 |
| chunkyhead | i desperately need to remove cairo dock guys. really getting on my nerves. any ideas? | 14:18 |
| iceroot | Fuzzles: which ubuntu version? | 14:18 |
| Yonny | jrib: I just want to get "safely" into the new Pangolin install, and continue fixing this from there... | 14:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, Which ubuntu do you want to control the grub menu? | 14:18 |
| jrib | Yonny: so run update-grub on 10.04 | 14:18 |
| Fuzzles | iceroot, well was 12.04 which it used to show before i reinstalled now im on 13.04 | 14:18 |
| teamblack | Mans | 14:18 |
| iceroot | Fuzzles: #ubuntu+1 | 14:19 |
| iceroot | Fuzzles: that is still a beta version | 14:19 |
| teamblack | Alguno me colabora con un anti ddos en php ¡ | 14:19 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: the new Pangolin one, the one I want to try to get into (first) now | 14:19 |
| Fuzzles | iceroot, it happened in 12.04 as well | 14:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, You just need the pangolin HD first in the bios and its grub in its mbr. | 14:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, AS of now when you boot which OS is at the top of the grub menu? | 14:20 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: so I would like to put that Pangolin at the top of the other grub menu that it booting at the moment, just as a workaround... I think I can massage the entry into there according to the old grub syntax (the two grub.cfg files are very different between 10.04 and 12.04) | 14:20 |
| jrib | Yonny: either run update-grub on 10.04 or change the boot order (which you said you didn't want to do) :/ | 14:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, This is grub 2 it will automatically ad other OS's, so you just install the 12.04 grub boot to its mbr, it is probably already there and have it be read first in the bios. | 14:22 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: I know I can change the boot order in bios, but I am afraid then the sda/sdb also changes, which will give me problems later when I want to boot the old ubuntu which depends on the old order..., not sure if it is a good thing to keep changing that back and forth, as I see several comments about "unpredictable results"/orders regarding sda/sdb, etc... | 14:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, They will not change, that makes no sense. | 14:22 |
| jrib | Yonny: like I said, you should be using UUIDs unless you've done something strange | 14:23 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: ok, so you are saying that if I alter the boot order in the BIOS, the old ubuntu will continue to see the same disk as sda afterwards? (then it is ok...) | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | Yonny, stop objecting and listen advice that is known to work | 14:23 |
| Yonny | BluesKaj: I am not objecting, I am careful to make sure I see the various side-effects before I choose how to proceed... | 14:24 |
| === Odysimus_away is now known as Odysimus | ||
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, Use UUID's as suggested first not /dev/sdXX in fstab do you know how to do this? | 14:24 |
| uvala | is there a user survey software in ubuntu repos? | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | you're careful to a fault , you don't trust ppl's advice then go elsewhere, Yonny | 14:25 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Can anybody help me here with an internet problem? | 14:25 |
| Yonny | jrib: yes, I know I should use UUID in fstab, but when I added some lines there a while ago, I could not figure out the correct syntax or where exactly to put that statement (specific order on each line, before or after some other "none"/"1"/"0" args, etc., so I ended up with the sdx-thingy, which I know is vulnerable... | 14:26 |
| wilee-nilee | RishabhTatiraju, Just state your problem if someone knows they will answer, give details. ;) | 14:26 |
| chunkyhead | is gnome 3.8 out for ubuntu yet? | 14:27 |
| Yonny | BluesKaj: well, I need to finish asking the questions before I am sure, then I will take the advices. It seems that you are sure you know everything relevant in my setup so you simply cannot be at risk of giving wrong advice based on assumptions that is not true on my machine? | 14:27 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: if I post one of the lines I have in my fstab, can you provide the correct way of doing that with UUID? Maybe that is the easiest way. | 14:29 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Okay well i cannot access certain websites which i could access in Windows. I am running Ubuntu 12.10. I have even tried changing DNS servers but that does not help. | 14:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, The problem here is your not understanding some basic information and having theories based on user errors, that are faulty. | 14:29 |
| uvala | wilee-nilee, is there a user survey software in ubuntu repos? | 14:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Yonny, fstab is very basic there is information all over the web. | 14:30 |
| RishabhTatiraju | anyone> | 14:31 |
| RishabhTatiraju | ? | 14:31 |
| wilee-nilee | uvala, I don't know and the web is your best way of finding out not this channel. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=user+survey+software+ubuntu&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=1 | 14:32 |
| wilee-nilee | RishabhTatiraju, Post one of the pages. | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | RishabhTatiraju, never heard of a problem accessing websites on linux vs windows | 14:32 |
| Crckh34d | Hello! | 14:33 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Page 1: www.eotr.tk | 14:33 |
| Yonny | wilee-nilee: here is one of the lines in my FStab, which I am afraid I will not be able to change into the proper UUID syntax: | 14:33 |
| Yonny | /dev/sda6 /media/SOFTARCH ntfs joe,jill,admin2 | 14:33 |
| uvala | wilee-nilee, I did google search, there seems no tool. hence referred here if anyone knows one | 14:33 |
| Crckh34d | tool for what?? | 14:33 |
| wilee-nilee | RishabhTatiraju, shows fine here, are you using a proxy? | 14:33 |
| Crckh34d | srry just joint in.. | 14:33 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I use the dns servers of Google | 14:33 |
| RishabhTatiraju | no proxy used | 14:33 |
| wilee-nilee | uvala, Look at my link. | 14:33 |
| RishabhTatiraju | wilee-nilee: No proxy used, i use the dns provided by google | 14:35 |
| Yonny | jrib: here is one of the example lines I would like to change to UUID format: "/dev/sda6 /media/SOFTARCH ntfs joe,jill,admin2" | 14:35 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I use a PPPoE DSL Connection | 14:35 |
| bananapie | ok, so I am running freeswitch 1.2.7 comiled on debian 6. When it receives a re-INVITE for t38, it passes it to sofia "2013-04-23 10:33:20.246850 [DEBUG] sofia.c:5597 Channel sofia/external/4188002815 entering state [received][100] | 14:36 |

| Honksu | Hi! I have a bit of a problem on ubuntu server 12.04.2 64bit with a ext4 partition containing root filesystem. I have about 49Gb used space and no idea what is consuming it. I have output of commands "df -h" and "sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /" and here is the output: http://pastebin.com/jWkKaZKP | 14:36 |
| RishabhTatiraju | That worked yesterday, so it may be a server problem | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | RishabhTatiraju, might have something to do with your location, maybe eqiufax canada won't load pages fro queries from india | 14:36 |
| jrib | Yonny: those seem like strange entries in the options field but I may just not be familiar with ntfs options. To use UUID, just find the uuid (see ubottu) and then change "/dev/sda6" to "UUID=uuid_you_found_here" | 14:36 |
| chunkyhead | is the squid package there in deb too? | 14:36 |
| jrib | !uuid | Yonny | 14:36 |
| ubottu | Yonny: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 14:36 |
| Yonny | jrib: I see from other lines in FStab that there are specific args like "none", "0", etc. , which I have no clue if is relevant IF I use UUID instead of sdx, so I decided not to go that way until I have learned how that syntax should be done. | 14:36 |
| jrib | !fstab | Yonny | 14:36 |
| ubottu | Yonny: 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 | 14:36 |
| RishabhTatiraju | BluesKaj: well, i have used the same settings in Windows for years. | 14:37 |
| bananapie | sorry, wrong channel :P | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | RishabhTatiraju, some sites are windows only , especially banks etc | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | could use an agent switcher :) | 14:38 |
| RishabhTatiraju | BluesKaj: I assume www.eotr.tk works with Ubuntu, even forums.xda-developers.com | 14:39 |
| RishabhTatiraju | * http://forum.xda-developers.com/ | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | yes it works here , RishabhTatiraju | 14:40 |
| RishabhTatiraju | first i thought it may be a DNS problem, but it wont help. | 14:41 |
| RishabhTatiraju | Any ideas why | 14:41 |
| RishabhTatiraju | My ISP does allow access to these websites, cos i was able to use them on Windows. I tried changing browsers, no luck! | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | RishabhTatiraju, have you considered opendns instead , it's very reliable | 14:41 |
| bean | RishabhTatiraju: can you recap your problem? | 14:42 |
| bean | I just started reading | 14:42 |
| uvala | wilee-nilee, your link refers almost only to ubuntu user surveys on the first two pages of search results, and no free software for user surveys. | 14:42 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bean: I am unable to access webpages in my Ubuntu, they seem to work everywhere else. I just switched from Windows and they worked fine for me. | 14:42 |
| bean | RishabhTatiraju: any sites? or just some? | 14:43 |
| Yonny | a question about the SWAP too: When I installed, I created a swap partition for the new Pangolin, but did nothing with the existing swap partition on the other drive, which was already marked as swap. So now the new Pangolin lists 2 active swap partitions in its FStab. The other one is only for the older ubuntu version, so I will just remove those lines from FStab. Should I have changed the other swap to be "do not use" or whatever it lets me during installatio | 14:43 |

| bean | RishabhTatiraju: okay, and what error does the browser give | 14:44 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bean: www.eotr.tk, http://forum.xda-developers.com/, and a few more | 14:44 |
| wilee-nilee | uvala, This channel is not for what you want it is basically support for problems, we do not know every possible app that is in the repos, free or not. | 14:44 |
| RishabhTatiraju | I am using Chromium, and it says Webpage not available, Bean | 14:44 |
| codephobic | is it worth downloading 13.04 beta today, are there likely to be any real differences between it and the official release on the 25th? | 14:44 |
| bean | RishabhTatiraju: okay, in a terminal, what is the output of "dig +short www.eotr.tk" | 14:44 |
| bean | codephobic: I'd just wait. | 14:44 |
| RishabhTatiraju | bean: it says 199.59.166.170 | 14:45 |
| govindsmenokee | hi | 14:45 |
| govindsmenokee | anyone der? | 14:45 |
| codephobic | bean, I was thinking I might avoid the huge lag that official release day seems to lead to (I remember the upgrade from 04 to 10). | 14:45 |
| codephobic | but if there are features that are still being polished up or some other bits of tidy up ... I guess I'll wait. | 14:46 |
| bean | RishabhTatiraju: okay, that's correct... can you pastebin the output of "wget www.eotr.tk" | 14:46 |
| bean | govindsmenokee: yeah, just ask your question | 14:47 |

| uvala | wilee-nilee, you said "look at my link", that's what I've just answered to. like I said, I'd already searched google before coming here. as for my original question, I could get answers to similar questions earlier, that's why I asked it. it could have been a popular app which someone could hint at, therefore I dont find it too ok to basically exclude these kinds of questions | 14:49 |

| chunkyhead | niel1, read more on oopsie. you will have to google that | 14:56 |
| niel1 | ubuntu 12.10 because if it updates the partition breaks | 14:56 |
| chunkyhead | oopsie is the app which gives you error messages. sometimes it's helpful so that you know which app has crashing. if it's crashing alot you should update your repos | 14:56 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone I asked this question earlier but forgot to check the answer. I have an old system with lubuntu 12.04 running. I have little space hence /home is 4.5 gb only but now it is full. .local is taking up 900 mbs. and .cache and .m2 are take up a total of 900 mbs | 14:57 |
| Vivekananda | can I shift all these to another partition and symlink them to home ? | 14:57 |
| RishabhTatiraju | off the record, any ETA for 13.04? | 14:58 |
| Yonny | bean: the new 12.04 release of ubuntu is nicknamed Precise Pangolin... | 14:58 |
| chunkyhead | >27th RishabhTatiraju more details on #ubuntu+1 | 14:58 |
| Yonny | bean: (the LTS release, that is) | 14:58 |
| bean | Yonny: oh, most people would just refer to that as "12.04" or "precise" | 14:59 |
| Vivekananda | anyoone ? | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: clear your browser cache | 14:59 |
| Yonny | bean: ok, I just use the most unique word by default, as "precise" can be used in so many other contexts | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | niel1: in /etc/default/apport set enabled=0 | 15:00 |
| bean | Yonny: but the release is called precise :) | 15:00 |
| niel1 | wont let me save | 15:00 |
| niel1 | to that spot | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | niel1: gksudo gedit /etc/default/apport | 15:01 |
| Yonny | bean: the 12.04 release is called "Precise Pangolin" | 15:01 |
| wilee-nilee | niel1, The popups are apport, some will have a place to click ignore, apport can be removed, and it will report on any errors including 3rd part apps. | 15:01 |
| niel1 | ok all done | 15:01 |
| bean | Yonny: but in the repositories it is referred to as precise. | 15:01 |
| spaceneedle | Bug: Using Xubuntu. On the same hd I have ubuntu 12.04lts. When I'm on Xubuntu my other partition(Ubuntu) mounts--and there is no way to unmount it. | 15:01 |
| Yonny | bean: always two words, like the 10.04 was "Lucid Lynx" | 15:02 |
| chunkyhead | wilee-nilee, wasn't oopsie the package which displays errors? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | niel1: not sure how to apply that on the fly, it'll apply next reboot | 15:02 |

| niel1 | when I update ubunttu wont start\ | 15:02 |
| Yonny | bean: not important, but I just choose the one that does not appear to mean anything else, to avoid mixing with normal sentences | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | bmxscott1993_: use nautilus to share, its all handled for you | 15:02 |
| niel1 | and I no longer have windows so it sucks | 15:02 |
| bmxscott1993_ | i set up window just can not get ubuntu working | 15:03 |

| niel1 | just doesnt work dont know why | 15:03 |
| wilee-nilee | niel1, So when this has happened what did you do to fix it? | 15:04 |
| wilee-nilee | !who | niel1 | 15:04 |

| Yonny | hi all, if I want to add a similar theme environment to ubuntu LTS than what Linux Mint is using with Gnome, which software components should I look for in the software repositories, to get one install to fetch the related dependencies? | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bmxscott1993_: right click the mount pint, you share the partition, not the drive | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Yonny: you will need cinammon, which we don't support here | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Yonny: Ubuntu 12.04 uses Gnome deskop, just uses Unity shell instead | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Yonny: instead of gnome-panel | 15:10 |
| craigbass1976 | GoDaddy allows ssh, and I sshfs so that I can just mount up the remote directory on my box here. It always times out quickly though. Is there a way (on the client side--I doubt GoDaddy would make the simple server change for me) to keep this connection alive if I get up to go to the bathroom or something? I have to shut all my files, remount, and open them again | 15:10 |
| alexandr | hello | 15:11 |
| Yonny | ActionParsnip: ok, so If I want to add themes, I should look for Cinnamon themes? Any other things I need to install first to get them working? I notice there is no "add themes" in the Appearance, so I am not sure what I need to be able to get a "add" and "modify" function like the one I saw in Mint. Just to change some basic stuff like move the closing buttons to the right side, etc. | 15:12 |
| craigbass1976 | Or maybe... Can I do something to my godaddy user account (the linux account) that will keep connections alive longer, or is that a system wide thing? | 15:14 |
| auronandace | Yonny: cinnamon isn't supported here | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Yonny: no idea, you'll need to ask in the Linux Mint channel | 15:15 |
| here | adding from apps.ubuntu.com fails with not found in software center http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11744656/20130423-01.png | 15:16 |

| Honksu | I have a problem with a ext4 partition containing root filesystem. I have no idea what is consuming about 49Gb of disk space. I have output of commands "df -h" and "sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /" here: http://pastebin.com/jWkKaZKP | 15:19 |
| bean | Yonny: I'd imagine that only the default is supported. | 15:20 |
| === franz_ is now known as fpoesc | ||
| Yonny | bean: so what are all the people in here using, only the default theme? | 15:21 |
| bean | Yonny: I would imagine so | 15:21 |
| bean | I use no interface and shell only | 15:21 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Honksu: why do you feel 49G is being erroniously use? | 15:21 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | used* | 15:21 |
| Yonny | bean: that sounds incredible, I thought we all want to be able to use the "P" in "PC" for "Personalization", which the theme functions are all about, not just change the background image... | 15:22 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | erroneously* too arg | 15:22 |
| bean | Yonny: the P in PC stands for "personal" not "personalization" | 15:23 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: Can I also move the .local to another partition and symlink it ? | 15:23 |
| Yonny | bean: yes, "Personal Computer", that is what I am pointing to: to make it personal(ized) | 15:23 |
| nugroho | ubuntu linux with great desktop outlook better than redhat or fedora | 15:23 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: ive changed my some, been trying ot figure out how to disable the stupid alpha background on a per item basis, no luck so far | 15:23 |
| Honksu | Whiskey`Wonka: df -h prints that 92Gb is used but sum printed by du is only about 43Gb on root filesystem. | 15:24 |
| here | some apps work , but attempting to install https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/xnviewmp/ in 12.10 fails not found ... ? | 15:24 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: personal does not imply personalizing | 15:24 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | hmm, does df double count symlinks? | 15:25 |
| Yonny | I was using the term slightly creatively, to point out that the P should mean something into this direction, not important. | 15:25 |
| bean | I do not think so. | 15:25 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: well, it IS important | 15:26 |
| nugroho | ubuntu linux console with direct keyboard into monitor or lcd looks better than solaris operating system | 15:26 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | words have meaning, if you go randomly changing them then communication bcms 4 teh brds | 15:26 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | nugroho: so? | 15:26 |
| Yonny | well, Personal is important, yes: that I get the computer to look and feel like I would like it, so yes, important, but this discussion about which word to use is not important. | 15:27 |
| nugroho | faster ubuntu I think unsure with solaris | 15:27 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | what is the linux equal to 'file use + size on hdd' ? | 15:27 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: well then just build yourself a new theme and be happy | 15:28 |
| Vivekananda | anyone else ? | 15:28 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: there are plenty of them out there, google will find many of them | 15:28 |
| gigas | Honksu, do you have access to a GUI? try the disk usage analyzer client to pin down your disk usage | 15:28 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Vivekananda: i missed it, what ? | 15:29 |
| Yonny | yes, that is my question: which theme "platform" is supported here in this forum, which do you recommend to start focusing on the theme part? I like gnome, so I would like to continue somewhere along that part, and what is that software component called now in Precise Pangolin, if I should look for what to install in the software repositories? | 15:29 |
| nugroho | ubuntu console command start with startx to see a live or life in GUI work wonderfull | 15:29 |
| Vivekananda | ooo I have a small /home in lubuntu 12.04 of 4.5 gb. in it .local is 900 mb and .cache and .m2(for maven and stuff) is 1 gb. Can I move these directories to another partition and just symlink it to home ? | 15:30 |
| Vivekananda | I mean is it advisable to do this. I already cleared the cache as ActionParsnip suggested but that just freed up 200 mbs of space | 15:31 |
| betrayd | Vivekananda: i did the same when Music got too big | 15:32 |
| bean | Vivekananda: sure, you could do that | 15:32 |
| betrayd | but i made a copy first | 15:32 |
| Vivekananda | betrayd: bean I know I can do it but these are dot '.' files. is it advisable to do this ? also I will need to preserve the ownership somehow right ? | 15:33 |
| bean | Vivekananda: it'll be fine. | 15:33 |
| dnano91 | hi, i recently installed ubuntu 12.10 and iptables contained some rules. as they're causing problems, i flushed iptables and set basic rules, but after a reboot everything i did was undone. what can i do about it? is a package causing this? | 15:33 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Vivekananda: it should be ok, as long as the mount point is automatic | 15:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !iptables | dnano91 | 15:34 |
| ubottu | dnano91: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 15:34 |
| Honksu | Whiskey`Wonka: I think my problem might be caused by root filesystem containing /cameras /backup with data and other HDD's are mounted on those files. That is baaad! I check this out right away. | 15:35 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | Yonny: there are a few ways, start at gnome.org | 15:35 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | why would that be bad Honksu? | 15:35 |

| SonikkuAmerica | felon: I'll tell you right off the bat that support for 10.04 LTS ends in 48 hours. | 15:40 |

| SonikkuAmerica | !debian | c0myn | 15:43 |
| ubottu | c0myn: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

| SonikkuAmerica | c0myn: OK, that didn't say what I thought it would. What I thought it would say is: join the #debian channel. | 15:44 |
| felon | sorry, bad connection, display is cut off on the left and right side, no widescreen | 15:44 |
| litropy | Both resolution issues | 15:44 |

| felon | nothing | 15:44 |
| c0myn | ok i'll try debian, no luck at crunchbang, thanks again | 15:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: We are ceasing support for 10.04 LTS on Thursday. | 15:45 |

| Jeena_ | I have a problem, when I try to take a screenshot, I only get a black picture, anyone a Idea why that is happening and how I can fix it? | 15:47 |
| litropy | felon, you upgraded then downgraded? Full wipe and reinstall to 10.04 or ... | 15:47 |
| litropy | More graphics issues. Wow. | 15:48 |
| felon | full wipe cause all i have is the 10.04 disk | 15:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Jeena_: What program are you using? | 15:48 |
| Jeena_ | I press the Print Screen button on my keyboard | 15:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: Can you burn a 12.04 image to DVD or a USB flash drive? | 15:48 |
| === timo is now known as Guest46017 | ||
| Jeena_ | It seems to be called "Screenshot" | 15:48 |
| === Guest46017 is now known as Natas- | ||
| SonikkuAmerica | Jeena_: Are you using a proprietary driver for graphics? | 15:48 |
| felon | i guess | 15:48 |
| litropy | Jeena_, how many monitors do you have set up? | 15:49 |
| felon | shouldnt have to | 15:49 |
| chunkyhead | Jeena_, download screencloud and see if the same thing happens there, in addition to what SonikkuAmerica is saying | 15:49 |
| Jeena_ | I think I installed one during my tests and it made Unity kind of usable | 15:49 |
| Jeena_ | (before it took 3-7 seconds to open after hitting the super key) | 15:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: Once you burn a 12.04 live image, boot from it (you know how), press F6, and select "nomodeset" from the menu. | 15:49 |
| Jeena_ | I have 2 monitors | 15:49 |
| felon | thx | 15:50 |
| litropy | Jeena_, I'd try turning your secondary off and see if that does the trick, just to rule out confusion there. | 15:50 |
| felon | but id like to get it working now | 15:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: I have an idea. Does your monitor have an onboard picture control? | 15:51 |
| Jeena_ | ok | 15:51 |
| felon | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) | 15:52 |
| felon | yea ive tried that | 15:52 |
| Jeena_ | without the second monitor it is still just black | 15:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: No no no, I'm talking about those buttons on the MONITOR | 15:53 |
| litropy | Jeena_, thx. You're welcome to use your second again. | 15:53 |
| felon | i know | 15:53 |
| jazzdle | I would like to ask in this command "make deinstall clean patch", patch is used for what reason? | 15:53 |
| felon | ive tried auto adjusting | 15:53 |
| nugroho | ubuntu linux has great appearance than fedora or mandrake | 15:53 |
| litropy | Jeena_, try this: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual effects; select "none" | 15:53 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: You tried adjusting the screen width then. | 15:54 |

| Jeena_ | oh cool, ScreenCloud seems to work just fine | 15:57 |
| Jeena_ | thanks for the person who suggested it. | 15:57 |
| aeon-ltd | jbdubbs: any other devices on the network that work fine? | 15:57 |

| litropy | Whoops lol | 15:59 |

| litropy | !ask guina | 15:59 |
| evil_and1 | raven_, does it actually have 3 GPUs? or is it just 3 connectors and 2 of which can be used at any given time? | 15:59 |
| litropy | K I'm just gonna stop that now | 16:00 |
| guina | estrai when I try it it's me the following message - ."/ET_v2.60_Linux.run.gz: 1: eval: ./setup.sh: Permission denied" | 16:00 |
| raven_ | evil_and1, one minihdmi and two dvi connections | 16:00 |
| evil_and1 | raven_, it's probably only able to drive 2 of those simultaneously. Regardless of the OS | 16:00 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, and you see your NIC when you ipconfig? | 16:01 |
| evil_and1 | I've got a 550Ti and it can only drive 2 displays (and has 3 connectors on the back) | 16:01 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, when you ping ubuntu.com, do you get replies? | 16:01 |
| guina | how can I solve this problem | 16:01 |
| raven_ | evil_and1, whats the secret of every graphics card is only able to handle 2 displays at once? | 16:01 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, and in that case, is your browser set to a proxy? | 16:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: Use nvidia-173; if that doesn't work, use nvidia-96. | 16:01 |
| evil_and1 | I think it's just because it's cheaper that way | 16:02 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: But if you need nvidia-96 or nvidia-173 your graphics are doomed. | 16:02 |
| jbdubbs | litropy, no response from ubuntu.com, wlan0 is in ifconfig | 16:02 |

| SonikkuAmerica | felon: Upgrade to 12.04 LTS and see if you can use the nouveau drivers. | 16:04 |
| felon | hoping i wouldnt have to | 16:04 |
| jbdubbs | litropy, I see wlan0 in iwconfig, connected at 130mbps | 16:04 |
| SolarisBoy | litropy: jbdubbs is it possible the gw your connected does not presently have inet access? | 16:04 |

| SolarisBoy | jbdubbs: try to mtr 91.189.94.156 or traceroute 91.189.94.156 | 16:05 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, comb your router settings and make sure you haven't restricted access to your MAC | 16:05 |
| jbdubbs | SolarisBoy, it works in Windows and on other maxhines | 16:05 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, yes, it connects, to no MAC exclusion there, but there could be content exclusion. | 16:05 |
| SolarisBoy | jbdubbs: being connected to that wireless network with similar settings works or other computers "work"? | 16:05 |
| litropy | so* | 16:05 |
| litropy | SolarisBoy, yes, he's confirmed that | 16:06 |
| jbdubbs | litropy, seems its getting to my wireless router and stopping... interesting | 16:06 |
| guina | can someone help me regarding the installation of a game. Run | 16:06 |
| SolarisBoy | interesting. | 16:06 |
| guina | he is giving me access denied | 16:07 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, yep, and sometimes, though rarely, your MAC can be different even on the same machine in a different OS | 16:07 |
| jbdubbs | let me go hard reset the thing and see what happens, brb | 16:07 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, k | 16:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felon: You'll have to sooner or later... | 16:08 |
| betrayd | guina maybe the destination is protected,what does the readme say | 16:08 |
| litropy | jbdubbs, when you get back, tell me if you're just replugging the power or if you're actually setting the router back to default. | 16:08 |
| betrayd | or if... | 16:09 |

| DrGrov | Hi again | 16:10 |
| DrGrov | Trying to ask once more. I have a TV set at 1920x1080 and it worked until last night through that I had modified modelines in xorg.conf. Now today it does not work, says "no signal" when the computer reboots. What can I do? I tried to remove xorg.conf and xorg.conf.backup but without any success. | 16:11 |
| chunkyhead | was just wondering, can i design my workspace switching commands taking input from the touchpad. ie scroll up takes me to the workspace on top, scroll to right workspace on the right and so on and so forth. possible? or is it already implemented? | 16:11 |
| felon | SonikkuAmerica : cant i edit /etc/gdm/Init/Default with the info from xrandr --verbose | 16:12 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: use your fn keys | 16:12 |

| litropy | DrGrov, Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts you can set key commands there for workspace switching. Touchpad gestures (that trigger a keystroke) aren't installed by default, but there's gotta be something out there. Probably Google "Ubuntu touchpad gestures" | 16:14 |
| DrGrov | litropy: That is not the case. The case is that upon startup I can not get anything working, it is just a blank screen. No GUI, no nothing. It worked last night but I have no idea why it does not work now anymore. I have to use a 11.04 64-bit LiveCD to work. | 16:15 |
| raven_ | is theoretically possible to use 3 monitors simultaneously with two dvi on an nvidia card and one onboard vga? | 16:15 |
| betrayd | no signal means it doesn't get anything at boot; see how your kbd/mouse leds light up DrGrov? | 16:15 |

| DrGrov | litropy: No problem | 16:16 |

| Corey | weirdpercent: Is it in /etc/shells? | 16:18 |

| notrin | i was wanting to use a laptop for the main node | 16:19 |
| Corey | weirdpercent: That's interesting, it's in /usr/bin/zsh for me. "which zsh" says what on that box? | 16:19 |
| Corey | Oh, alternatives. | 16:20 |

| balrog-k1n | Mavrik: ubuntu.com doesn't really give instructions but links to the Universal USB Installer in one place | 16:43 |

| DrGrov | Now I am in recovery mode, enabling networking. So, how do I now reset the X server so I can get some resolution to work? It is like it is out of signal all the time. | 17:15 |
| moppers | no hits in packages.ubuntu.com search for 'mkinitrd' | 17:15 |
| YASHH | does any know how to get chrome os linux | 17:15 |
| DrGrov | I really need some help here, I am stuck :/( | 17:16 |
| moppers | YASHH, http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os | 17:16 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: try going into BIOS even if you don't change anything there | 17:16 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: What should I do in BIOS? | 17:16 |
| betrayd | just go through some menus DrGrov | 17:17 |
| betrayd | so the TV will think somethings new DrGrov | 17:17 |
| YASHH | moppers, is it equivalent to the original chrome by google? | 17:17 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: Ok, I have to reboot then. I will come back into recovery mode then in a little while. | 17:17 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: But what will that help actually? | 17:18 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: is that mode while in th CD? | 17:18 |
| wilee-nilee | moppers, Not in the 12.04 repos. http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-12.04/ubuntu-universe-i386/bootcd-mkinitramfs_3.27_all.deb.html | 17:18 |

| DrGrov | betrayd: Should I somehow reset the X server now? | 17:20 |
| === jordan_ is now known as MiniD | ||
| Dr_willis | YASHH, theres some 3rd party packages you can install on ubuntu to get a chrome-os session. they should be mentioned on the omgubuntu! or webupd8 blog sites. | 17:20 |
| moppers | wilee-nilee, thanks .. will use mkinitramfs instead | 17:21 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: but the nvidi current would still be there at reboot won't it | 17:21 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: I am not using nvidia-current, I am using nouveau. | 17:21 |
| betrayd | no when you reboot i mean DrGrov | 17:22 |
| moppers | YASHH, google chrome OS has some extra secret sauce n top of chromium OS. to get the goog version download the recovery script for a chromebook | 17:22 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: But I have not even installed nvidia-current. I have only installed nouveau on my 12.04. | 17:23 |
| === benjamo is now known as benjamino | ||
| betrayd | ah isee | 17:23 |
| DrGrov | Could someone please tell me how to reset my X server so I can finally get a *working* resolution without needing to mess around trying to find a xorg.conf setup or such? | 17:24 |
| YASHH | moppers, is that legal or thats how it works? | 17:24 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: there is no 'reset' unless you're talking about reinstall | 17:26 |
| aneks | YASHH, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 17:26 |
| YASHH | aneks, 12.04 | 17:26 |
| litropy | DrGrov, If you've got to a blank screen while booting up, press CTRL + ALT + F1 to access the terminal. Then, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop Then, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup Then, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Then, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 17:27 |
| litropy | "Then," is not part of the commands. | 17:27 |
| aneks | YASHH, I'm running google chrome on 12.10, not chromium, I hope this link helps http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-google-chrome-on-ubuntu-12-04-ubuntu-12-10-linux-mint-13-linux-mint-14-or-debian-sid/ | 17:27 |
| YASHH | thanks aneks i'll check it out | 17:28 |
| aneks | np :) | 17:28 |
| aneks | off to sleep | 17:28 |
| YASHH | aneks, is it better than ubuntu and does it support .exe directly?? | 17:29 |
| litropy | YASHH, moppers and aneks are talking about two different things. Google Chrome is a web browser; Chrome OS is an Operating System like Ubuntu or Windows. | 17:30 |
| YASHH | oh!, i already have browser iam askin about OS | 17:31 |
| YASHH | sorry for the confusion guys!! | 17:31 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: what litropy said, but add your high resolution (right there), idk if you have to go through some 'custom' or see how high it can go | 17:31 |
| DJones | YASHH: This channel only supports Ubuntu and its official variants, you'll need to find a Chrome OS channel yourself | 17:32 |
| YASHH | djones,okay | 17:32 |
| DrGrov | betrayd: I know what my highest is and it still does not allow it. I made it what it was on the live 11.04 CD, 1360x768 but no luck. Still does not display anything. | 17:33 |
| DrGrov | So a reinstall of X server would be the best thing. yes? | 17:33 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: he asking to do a reconfigure | 17:33 |
| betrayd | DrGrov: a sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 17:33 |
| DrGrov | litropy: The problem is that I can not press CTRL + ALT + F1 when I booted up. The screen is still just blank and does not give me any choice but to reboot. | 17:34 |
| YASHH | how much of bytes does this xchat take (approximately)?? | 17:34 |
| DrGrov | litropy: So I can use that tutorial you kindly posted for me anyhow even if I do not get into a tty? I just get into recovery mode. | 17:35 |
| litropy | DrGrov, Try CTRL+ALT+F3 ... somehow, I've had instances wherein F1 didn't bring something up. Also, you may be using a keyboard that requires you to also press your Fn button to get the true Function keystroke to be communicated. Fn is usually to the left of your left CTRL key. | 17:36 |
| litropy | DrGrov, yes. If you can gain access to a terminal, you can skip that step. | 17:37 |
| mzaza | How can I test graphics card frames per second? | 17:38 |
| litropy | DrGrov, Just a personal note: I can tell you that 1.5 years ago when I connected my Ubuntu box to my HDTV, I had to manually modify xorg.conf, and I wouldn't have done it without the help of the peeps in channel #xorg. | 17:38 |
| litropy | DrGrov, although it might have gotten easier. | 17:39 |
| mzaza | Is there an application which I could install to test video card frames/second? | 17:40 |
| MonkeyDust | mzaza phoronix publishes such benchmarks, take a look there, how they do it | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Mzaza: tuxcart etc can show fps | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Mzaza: super tux can too | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Fun games too :-) | 17:42 |
| mzaza | ActionParsnip: MonkeyDust I found glxspheres also, thanks :) | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Looks trippy | 17:44 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Okay, I will do it from recovery mode and a terminal from there. | 17:44 |
| DrGrov | CTRL+ALT+F3 did not either work. Unfortunately. | 17:44 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Okay, I have had it right all along. I have the right xorg.conf modelines and xorg.conf safe as a backup. | 17:45 |
| DrGrov | litropy: I will join in on #xorg then after I first get some kind of resolution ;) Thanks. What was the command again? sudo dpkg... ? | 17:46 |
| litropy | DrGrov, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:46 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Thanks, I will do that now and see what gives. | 17:46 |
| gatox | hi..... i'm having problems with several raring images..... i've created a startup usb..... and i've try lot of combinations, using live cd, direct install, and choosing different options in the installer wizard...... but the installer GETS STUCK always in the second screen.... in the Wireless part..... does anyone know this issue? | 17:46 |
| theadmin | !raring | gatox | 17:47 |

| gatox | theadmin, what? | 17:47 |
| DrGrov | Hi again. | 17:47 |
| justdream | i have no d/e... i'm trying to format this hard drive to ext4 but am more familiar with gparted? how would i go about doing it from a shell? | 17:47 |
| theadmin | gatox: What ubottu said. Raring isn't a supported release yet. | 17:47 |
| theadmin | justdream: sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 | 17:48 |
| theadmin | justdream: To create partitions you can use parted or fdisk | 17:48 |
| litropy | theadmin, he's referring you to the channel #ubuntu+1, where the support for Raring is. | 17:48 |
| DrGrov | Did not work out, I apparently do not have xserver-xorg installed. Something else configures it? | 17:48 |
| litropy | gatox^^ | 17:48 |
| DrGrov | litropy: What you think? I have to install xserver-xorg or reconfigure some other way? | 17:48 |
| gatox | thx | 17:49 |
| DrGrov | IIRC it uninstalled xserver-xorg due to nouveau... Not sure though... | 17:49 |
| justdream | theadmin: the harddrive appears to be corrupt i'm hoping that once i format it i will be able to install linux onto it from a live cd / usb | 17:49 |
| justdream | if it'll even format | 17:49 |
| justdream | the computer always gets angry and hangs up when ever you try to mount the HD | 17:49 |
| litropy | DrGrov, Hm. Ya, I'd install the package. Not sure what's driving your display right now and there might be conflicts, but I think I'd try it anyway. | 17:49 |
| theadmin | justdream: Oh. You can wipe the whole thing then: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda # Warning! Make sure "sda" is really your hard drive. Disconnect all other storage devices if unsure | 17:49 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Okay, will install it. Brb. | 17:50 |
| litropy | DrGrov, who knows - it might solve all your problems. | 17:50 |

| DrGrov | litropy: Thank you, now it works out as intended. It was not right, xserver-xorg was right :) | 17:56 |
| korisnik | theadmin: i changed icon of trashcan and now it alwies show full how to restor it to normal | 17:56 |
| bartzy | theadmin: when I do aptitude install , just like that without arguments - I get many packages to be installed. I don't want them to be installed, and I don't know what was causing that. | 17:57 |
| bartzy | so I just want to "start clean". | 17:57 |
| litropy | DrGrov, so you're done? | 17:57 |
| theadmin | bartzy: "install" without arguments for aptitude means, literally, install everything | 17:57 |
| sporkeee | bartzy, aptitude is deprecated you should not be using it. | 17:58 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Not a good idea. | 17:58 |
| MonkeyDust | bartzy use apt-get, not aptitude | 17:58 |
| bartzy | MonkeyDust: Why ? | 17:58 |
| newlinuxusr | love u alll ubuntu users <3 | 17:58 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Also, Aptitude is broken on 64-bit | 17:58 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Yes, for now. It is working as intended now. But I will definitely want to tweak my xorg.conf to a lot better state. | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 17:58 |
| DrGrov | Love you too newlinuxusr :) | 17:58 |
| bartzy | aptitude install gives me stuff to install - apt-get install does not | 17:58 |
| * DrGrov sings "Love is in the air" high and loud :) | 17:58 | |
| korisnik | theadmin: help me? | 17:58 |
| newlinuxusr | 13.04 will kick the hell outa windoze 8 | 17:58 |
| MonkeyDust | !aptitude | bartzy | 17:59 |
| ubottu | bartzy: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 17:59 |
| theadmin | bartzy: That's because apt-get and aptitude are entirely different programs -- apt-get usually works better. | 17:59 |
| sporkeee | bartzy, aptitude is not up on the arch stuff, you are asking for trouble basically. | 17:59 |
| theadmin | bartzy: They also have different syntax and commands have different meanings. | 17:59 |
| theadmin | korisnik: Ah, sorry, no idea about that problem. | 17:59 |
| lotuspsychje | newlinuxusr: you surely can discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:59 |
| korisnik | theadmin: ok np | 17:59 |
| bartzy | ok... but why 'aptitude install' gives me stuff to install, while 'apt-get install' does not ? | 17:59 |
| bartzy | also - I'm trying to install phpunit - and it wants to install apache with it. I don't understand why - since apache is not a dependency for phpunit, and I do have php5-cli installed. | 18:00 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Well, again, for aptitude, install without arguments means "install everything". For apt-get, install without arguments isn't even valid. | 18:00 |
| bartzy | theadmin: No, aptitude install without arguments mean - finish off your unfinished installations. | 18:00 |
| sporkeee | bartzy, bad apps will do bad things, just because a deprecated app that does not read correclty offres you updates is a bad arguement. | 18:01 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Hm. Then I suppose this is an issue with 64-bit (Aptitude is broken on 64-bit) | 18:01 |
| litropy | DrGrov, glad to hear it. X.Org tweaking is horrible; most users tweak it and forget it like a traumatic life experience. But those few people who deal with it regularly for whatever reason: job requirement, etc, are in #xorg. | 18:01 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Forgeet it and use apt-get -- will be better for you. | 18:01 |
| bartzy | theadmin: OK, what about my phpunit question ? | 18:01 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: i got 64-bit here, working fine here | 18:01 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: Which Ubuntu version? | 18:02 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: 12.10 | 18:02 |
| DrGrov | litropy: Apparently I did not find anyone yet since the first idea I got was to install the nvidia drivers LOL :) | 18:02 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Hm... I can't see apache2 in phpunit's dependencies on 12.04, this is odd | 18:02 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: Means you never tried installing 32-bit packages, eh? | 18:02 |
| theadmin | lotuspsychje: That's when breakage arrives | 18:02 |
| bartzy | theadmin, 12.10. | 18:02 |
| DrGrov | litropy: And now I can use "Displays" from my xorg.conf information to vary my resolution. It is good, very good indeed. But one thing though, how can I see if my monitor does go over 60Hz at 1360x768? | 18:03 |
| bartzy | theadmin: And I don't see anywhere that aptitude is deprecated, actually it is the official installer that is used for debian installations. | 18:03 |
| bartzy | i.e. the debian net installer uses aptitude and not apt-get. | 18:03 |
| lotuspsychje | theadmin: ah no i did not | 18:03 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Debian isn't multiarch yet | 18:03 |
| theadmin | bartzy: Ubuntu is | 18:03 |
| justdream | bartzy: are synaptic and aptitude the same thing? just curious... | 18:03 |
| theadmin | justdream: Nay, Synaptic uses apt-get as a backend | 18:04 |
| litropy | bartzy, using aptitude isn't recommended by many anymore -- something about aptitude contributors dropping the ball in keeping things up to date. apt-get will do everything you need. | 18:04 |
| sporkeee | bartzy, Kinda hard headed now aren't you. ;) | 18:04 |
| justdream | theadmin: i see, so is just a gui for apt-get? | 18:04 |

| DrGrov | litropy: I will be right back though, gotta reboot to confirm working setup. | 18:05 |
| justdream | theadmin: more than just a package manager you can also configure your kernel and edit config files too | 18:06 |
| wilee-nilee | bartzy, You are using it with ubuntu. | 18:06 |
| Trae32566-NE | for some convoluted reason, byobu-select-backend isn't included in byobu, and neither is byobu-tmux. Are the packages for 10.04 so old that byobu didn't support anything but screen at that point? | 18:06 |
| feasty | #debian | 18:06 |
| justdream | is a gui for emerge, make menuconfig, and some other little things idr off the top of my head | 18:06 |
| bartzy | wilee-nilee: I'm using 12.10 for months now, using aptitude always, installing :i386 packages, nothing ever happened, everything is working awesome. Where is the bug ? | 18:06 |
| theadmin | Trae32566-NE: I think so -- I'm pretty sure byobu-tmux is fairly new | 18:06 |

| justdream | Trae32566-NE: you mean progress on dd right? | 18:08 |
| justdream | theadmin: how do i do that? | 18:08 |

| Trae32566-NE | justdream, yes | 18:08 |
| Trae32566-NE | don't do it though, it's spammy as hell | 18:09 |

| justdream | jjpintor: sudo apt-get install wmctrl | 18:14 |
| justdream | im pretty sure its already on your system tho | 18:14 |
| MaynardWaters | The errors deal with FireGL | 18:14 |

| pegmanm | I have about 32 servers to deploy in a DC. I have a known working lucid image to use on these. But for the first time I am seeing issues with interface numbering. There is a 4 port broadcome and 2 port intel in these hosts. The numbering is confusing. I am seeing eth 0 & eth1 as broadcom and eth2 as intel with eth4&5 as the last two broadcom ports. Using a 2.X kernel I did not have this behaviour. | 18:14 |
| MaynardWaters | I went to find the drivers on http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/fire/Legacy/Pages/fire_linux.aspx?type=2.4.3&product=2.4.3.3.2.3.14&lang=English | 18:14 |

| jjpintor | pyroscope, wmctrl can auto switch workspaces without human interaction? | 18:16 |
| pyroscope | anyway, here goes my problem: probably since the update to nvidia-current 304.88-0ubuntu0.0.2 in a twinview setup on 12.04, when i switch off the monitors, windows start to gets auto-placed / shuffled (i.e. I "suddenly" have a power-off automatism I don't want) | 18:17 |
| AndroUser2 | I installed fglrx through software center | 18:17 |
| pyroscope | any clues as to how to disable that? | 18:17 |
| jjpintor | is there a code to identify the DE thing? | 18:17 |

| czz | This is an error message I am getting while trying to decrypt a message: "gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available" | 19:09 |
| makerbreakr | Im not really sure where to get started on this problem; I cant find anything in google. intel i3, ssd, ubuntu server 12.04; it boots to grub | 19:09 |
| makerbreakr | grub starts the chainloader, but then no HD lights | 19:10 |
| wilee-nilee | makerbreakr, This a UEFI setup? | 19:10 |
| makerbreakr | kind of, its for digital signange (and I have no control over what mobo they order) | 19:10 |
| quantum | Anyone know what happens when S3 sleep? | 19:10 |
| genii-around | jjpintor: Conceivably you can just make a zenity script to interface to smbclient -M | 19:11 |
| quantum | I need to run a script after wake. | 19:11 |
| makerbreakr | so essentially, it needs X, a browser, and it acts like a webserver | 19:11 |
| Kilroyy | Hi | 19:11 |
| ThePendulum | When I try to run UNetbootin, I'm asked for an administrative password... Any idea what this password might be (since it's not the one I set)? | 19:11 |
| makerbreakr | but yes, it is also UEFI | 19:11 |
| wilee-nilee | ThePendulum, Should be the user password, did you make a root password? | 19:12 |
| makerbreakr | i guess i can try updating the bios too | 19:12 |
| ThePendulum | wilee-nilee: I did, and when I enter that, it won't accept it | 19:12 |
| theadmin | ThePendulum: unetbootin is stupid and tries to authenticate via su | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | ThePendulum, Never make a root password in ubuntu, and it wants the iser password. | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | user* | 19:12 |
| theadmin | ThePendulum: Simply run it as administrator manually, "gksudo unetbootin" | 19:13 |
| starchil1 | Anyone know a good screencapture recorder and editor combo that is easy to use. | 19:13 |
| ThePendulum | wilee-nilee: Well I'm actually not sure if I made a root password. Probably not, then. | 19:13 |
| Kilroyy | So I'm a total Linux noob (installed ubuntu all of 4 days ago) but I gotta say I'm loving it. | 19:13 |
| starchil1 | I tried recordmydesktop but the output file wasn't compatible with Kino | 19:13 |
| ThePendulum | theadmin: I guess the issue is that gksudo wasn't installed at first | 19:13 |
| BlazeFaia | Hi. Could someone help me out? I'm a new Ubuntu user (as of today) and I'm having a problem with the log in system. | 19:14 |
| stupidpassword | Anyone know how to set the voltage of the GPU using the radeon driver? | 19:14 |
| ThePendulum | I guess I should wait for 14.04LTS | 19:14 |
| moppers | BlazeFaia, no one can read your mind, what is the question? | 19:15 |
| wilee-nilee | ThePendulum, gksudo is installed in a stock setup, are you running ubuntu? | 19:15 |
| ThePendulum | wilee-nilee: Yeah, but I am running the 13.04 beta. | 19:15 |
| ThePendulum | Even though 13.04 is still in beta as we speak, I don't see it getting polished before the 25th. I'm going to skip this one. | 19:15 |
| wilee-nilee | ThePendulum, strange gksudo should be working, until release you want the #ubuntu+1 channel in general. ;) | 19:16 |
| ThePendulum | wilee-nilee: Yeah, I know, just stating that I'm running 13.04 to clarify that | 19:16 |
| theadmin | Hm, maybe gksudo was taken out because it's no longer really required by most of the apps in the repos (PolicyKit is now the main authentication mecahism used by GUIs) | 19:16 |
| wilee-nilee | theadmin, runs in my 13.04 setup. | 19:17 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: Odd. | 19:17 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: (as in, the part it's not there for ThePendulum | 19:17 |
| theadmin | ) | 19:17 |
| ThePendulum | I had to install it manually | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | with password errors in their setup I suspect something is up | 19:17 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, is Linpopup available on 10.04? | 19:18 |
| wilee-nilee | ThePendulum, You have a desktop right not a server? | 19:18 |
| ThePendulum | wilee-nilee: Yeah, this is a regular desktop 13.04 x64 installation running on a modern fully-functional (desktop) PC | 19:18 |
| ThePendulum | No odds | 19:18 |
| theadmin | jjpintor: As someone said above, the last release wherein it was included was Hardy, which isn't even supported anymore | 19:18 |
| ThePendulum | Anyway, brb, going to install 12.043 | 19:19 |
| ThePendulum | *04 | 19:19 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, thanks again | 19:19 |
| ThePendulum | Thanks for the help none the less :) | 19:19 |
| BlazeFaia_ | Okay, something happened and I wasn't getting any messages. Not sure if what I said went through or not. But I just installed 12.10 today and set up my username and password. But on the welcome screen it says the password is wrong. I went into recovery mode to change the password but it said password unchanged, which makes me believe my password was correct to begin with. | 19:19 |
| pyroscope | BlazeFaia_: take note of caps lock and keyboard layout settings | 19:20 |
| pyroscope | that's the usual causes | 19:20 |
| wilee-nilee | BlazeFaia_, With a fresh install I would check the sum of the install media and reinstall, if not a cap problem. | 19:21 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, do you know how to automate workspace switching? | 19:21 |
| BlazeFaia_ | Capslock is off, as was when I made the password. Where do I check the keyboard layout? Top right of the screen? The only available option is en. | 19:21 |
| pyroscope | jjpintor: step 1: have mor ethan one workspace | 19:21 |
| theadmin | jjpintor: ...How the heck can you "automate" that? Like switch the workspace every 5 seconds? That doesn't even make sense | 19:21 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, its like a ticker...in a website, every 5 secs the content refreshes or more like a slideshow | 19:23 |
| === Gamblerz- is now known as Gamblerz | ||
| jjpintor | pyroscope, you mean monitors? | 19:23 |
| theadmin | jjpintor: Eh... Still doesn't make sense. I don't think Unity has a way to switch workspaces via the command-line, and as such it won't be possible to automate | 19:23 |
| chudler | anyone know what happened with this? https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/lightdm/shut-down-dbus/+merge/72779 | 19:24 |
| chudler | did it make its way into the greeter? obsolete problem? anything? | 19:24 |
| theadmin | chudler: As said, "Rejected". Probably means this is unnecessary. | 19:25 |
| pyroscope | theadmin: i just did, on my unity | 19:25 |
| chudler | I am aware it was rejected. I am asking if development proceeded as suggested there | 19:25 |
| theadmin | pyroscope: "I'm closing this merge request because the daemon doesn't know about what the sessions are doing and it is their responsibility to clean up.". Meaning no, it was rejected and everything is like it was before? | 19:26 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, pyroscope did it on his pc | 19:26 |
| theadmin | jjpintor, pyroscope: Well, then you two figure out how to do it | 19:27 |
| chudler | theadmin: did you keep reading what he wrote or just stop? If you don't know the status of it you don't have to answer as to what that page says, I can see that just fine. | 19:27 |
| SuperBawlz | Easy problem, my apache server doesn't appear to be working with my MySQL server. When I do phpinfo() I noticed that it says --without-mysql in the configure command | 19:27 |
| jjpintor | theadmin, ok then...sorry for disturbing | 19:28 |
| SuperBawlz | how do I fix it? | 19:28 |
| jjpintor | pyroscope, how to have multiple workspace? | 19:28 |
| pyroscope | that way → https://pastee.org/k8h7d | 19:28 |
| theadmin | chudler: Well, I'm just judging from the link... That's about all anyone can say, right? As far as I know, dbus isn't stopped if lightdm is shut down or the session quits | 19:28 |
| theadmin | chudler: Mainly because Upstart itself relies on dbus nowadays so... | 19:29 |
| jjpintor | pyro? | 19:29 |
| chudler | maybe you don't know about dbus --autostart, or generally what they're referring to? Anyway, I guess it wasn't moved into the greeter as I couldnt find it. I hoped someone here might have a clue about that | 19:30 |
| pyroscope | jjpintor: you have one workspace. one. 1. cannot switch with one. | 19:30 |
| chudler | alternatively, you're saying lightdm spawns the session dbus before the greeter *nowadays* | 19:31 |

| thrillERboy | Hey Guys, If I install ubuntu 13.04 beta, will it be updated to normal 13.04 once its out? Like if I install the updates? | 19:32 |
| pyroscope | that is multiple desktops, a quite different thing | 19:32 |
| theadmin | thrillERboy: Yes | 19:32 |
| christoff522 | yes thrill | 19:32 |
| jjpintor | for the love of... | 19:33 |
| jjpintor | the term is "multiple desktops" sheesh | 19:33 |
| thrillERboy | Nice, My ubuntu 12.04 is crashed. Don't know if I should install full version in 2 days or the beta. | 19:33 |
| DJones | !final | thrillERboy | 19:33 |
| ubottu | thrillERboy: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Raring and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 13.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. | 19:33 |
| jjpintor | pyroscope, i want that multiple desktop to cycle like a slideshow..is it possible? | 19:34 |
| MonkeyDust | jjpintor ctrl-alt arrow | 19:34 |
| pyroscope | man wmctrl and find out how to select a desktop | 19:34 |
| jjpintor | no, i want it to automate... like a slideshow | 19:35 |
| pyroscope | followed by "man bash" then | 19:35 |
| jjpintor | pyroscope, you know how to make the multiple desktop slideshow? | 19:37 |
| thrillERboy | I have installed ubuntu (root filesystem) in a seperate partition, and mounted home folder in a different partition, Now ubuntu has crashed, (not really, I can still use it under recovery mode) uninstalled some essential graphic drivers. How should I go about reinstall and get all my files back? Should I rewrite the root filesystem and mount the home folder to the same partition? Should I have the same username and password? Home | 19:38 |
| pyroscope | jjpintor: read the manpage, and you know too | 19:39 |
| jjpintor | can you teach me? | 19:39 |
| christoff522 | thrill that would work, i always keep the same usernname and pass | 19:40 |
| christoff522 | all you need to do is reinstall, and make sure on the partitioner to mark the home drive as /home and format the / drive | 19:40 |
| karanga | Hi, Does anyone know if there is support for ALPS touchpads yet running 13.04. It would appear that the 12.10 'fixes' don't work on the latest kernel release? | 19:41 |
| john__ | hi all | 19:41 |
| thrillERboy | christoff522: using the same username means, it'll create a home folder under that name, if its a fresh install, I'm afraid it'll do the same and erase my previous files :| | 19:42 |
| john__ | Thrill | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | thrillERboy backup first | 19:42 |
| john__ | Heard of backups | 19:42 |
| john__ | Yes they WILL screw up your syste, | 19:43 |
| thrillERboy | john__ MonkeyDust I think I have backups enabled in Dejadup :D | 19:43 |
| john__ | three18ti, | 19:43 |
| pyroscope | being SURE about backups is often the better option ;) | 19:44 |
| Derp | ^^ | 19:44 |
| john__ | thrillERboy, so do I. But check a restore first | 19:44 |
| three18ti | john__, ? | 19:44 |
| Derp | esse chat é do debian ? | 19:45 |
| thrillERboy | john__: how can I do it? can I do it with CLI? I can't use GUI anymore | 19:45 |
| john__ | thrillERboy, restore sometimes works for me. But I belive that a local a net and then the master is the rule | 19:45 |
| john__ | two backups | 19:45 |
| === kdub^lunch is now known as kdub | ||
| christoff522 | no it doesnt wipe it, just make sure it isn't marked to be formatted thrill | 19:46 |
| john__ | one local one net | 19:46 |
| christoff522 | keeping the username means you don't have to change anything | 19:46 |
| john__ | make both then quibble | 19:46 |
| christoff522 | i have kept the same home folder for months, and installed lmde, linux mint 4 or 5 times | 19:46 |
| thrillERboy | john__: all of the content i'm worried about can be downloaded from the internetz anyway :D | 19:46 |
| Derp | this is dont dedian ?? | 19:46 |
| Derp | or ubuntu brasl | 19:47 |
| john__ | thrillERboy, no worries then | 19:47 |
| thrillERboy | john__: just worried about the time it takes. Thanks a lot. :) | 19:47 |
| christoff522 | well try it, if you have nothing to lose, at least try to keep your home folder | 19:47 |
| christoff522 | then you will have learned something from it | 19:47 |
| Loshki | thrillERboy: yes, a reinstall will recreate /home/user. Use the same username and you can just remount your existing home partition as /home and be pretty much back where you were before it crashed... | 19:47 |
| Loshki | !br | Derp | 19:47 |
| ubottu | Derp: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. | 19:47 |
| thrillERboy | christoff522: That is what I'm going to try, I think a trick like that, may come in handy some day :) | 19:48 |
| christoff522 | if you're using ubuntu it will be pretty straight forward just clikc "use as /home" and make sure where it says format it says no | 19:48 |
| Loshki | thrillERboy: just be sure that you don't accidentally reformat your existing home partition.. | 19:49 |
| christoff522 | im now on debian wheezy and this is the same home folder the lmde, through to linux mint 14, then 13, then lmde again | 19:49 |
| christoff522 | and now debian | 19:49 |
| christoff522 | so its pretty useful | 19:49 |
| thrillERboy | Loshki: So, if the home folder for the username already exists, installer will just remount it, not recreate a fresh one? | 19:49 |
| thrillERboy | Loshki: LOL I'm gonna check like 28 times for that, before clicking next button | 19:50 |
| john__ | christoff522> : your a Pi boy | 19:50 |
| john__ | ? | 19:50 |
| SimonM | hai | 19:50 |
| Derp | thios is ubuntun BR | 19:50 |
| john__ | Well that is bloody wondefull.. So am I | 19:50 |
| SimonM | I've been having a problem | 19:50 |
| christoff522 | john_ what does that mean? | 19:50 |
| SimonM | And I'm looking for someone to help me.... | 19:50 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: what that would be? | 19:51 |
| john__ | With what? | 19:51 |
| SimonM | I've been really stupid | 19:51 |
| christoff522 | a pi boy | 19:51 |
| SimonM | and tried to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu | 19:51 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: can't help with that. sorry. | 19:51 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi i have permenent micro freeze on my dell M6700 ; is there any diag tool that could find the reason ? | 19:51 |
| christoff522 | okay simonM I think I can help | 19:51 |
| SimonM | and now when I start up my pc nothing start up | 19:51 |
| christoff522 | okay did you install windows after ubuntu? | 19:51 |
| === Kilroy79 is now known as Kilroyy | ||
| SimonM | I'm now using a live mode usb thingy ubuntu | 19:51 |
| SimonM | no | 19:51 |
| christoff522 | oh | 19:52 |
| SimonM | windows was already installed | 19:52 |
| === franz__ is now known as fpoesc | ||
| christoff522 | try to reinstall again | 19:52 |
| christoff522 | it may just be a glitch | 19:52 |
| SimonM | could that fix it? | 19:52 |
| christoff522 | try reinstalling ubuntu | 19:52 |
| SimonM | because when I start up | 19:52 |
| SimonM | just a grey screen shows | 19:52 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: You see the GRUB menu? | 19:53 |
| SimonM | well I'll try that :) | 19:53 |
| SimonM | nope | 19:53 |
| SimonM | nothing | 19:53 |
| john__ | Believe me anyone who tries a double boot of windows and linux is not stupid. Unless it's on a Pi | 19:53 |
| Loshki | thrillERboy: It's safer to have the installer ignore your existing /home partition completely. It will create a new, empty /home/user, and then you can use the new, empty /home as the mount point for the old /home partition. | 19:53 |
| SimonM | well | 19:53 |
| SimonM | I did it stupid, because I didn't back up... | 19:53 |
| john__ | It just aint go enogh RAM | 19:53 |
| SimonM | well another thing I should mention | 19:53 |
| SimonM | I did the option install along side windows | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | ahhh | 19:54 |
| SimonM | but then I did it on my external hard drive | 19:54 |
| thrillERboy | Loshki: That sounds much better approach. Thanks :) | 19:54 |
| SimonM | so not really along side | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | yeah | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | thats definitely the issue | 19:54 |
| SimonM | probably | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | if you install anything on an external hard drive, you need to take your internal out | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | because of the bootloaders | 19:54 |
| SimonM | so reinstalling might fix it? | 19:54 |
| christoff522 | well what you need to deal with is your internal hard drive | 19:55 |
| pyroscope | SimonM: the usual way is to shrink the windows primary partition using gparted, then install ubuntu into the free space | 19:55 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: Install it on your internal hard drive, it'll fix it | 19:55 |
| john__ | Hightway to hell seems cleerly lit. Rock on <christoff522> | 19:55 |
| SimonM | ok | 19:55 |
| Adam__ | Hello! | 19:55 |
| SimonM | and how do I fix the external hard drive back to normal? | 19:55 |
| christoff522 | well | 19:55 |
| SimonM | no data was on it | 19:55 |
| Adam__ | How make my own OS based on Ubuntu? | 19:55 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: then just format it | 19:55 |
| SimonM | so that is no problem | 19:56 |
| SimonM | ok | 19:56 |
| christoff522 | disconnect your internal hard drive | 19:56 |
| SimonM | ty vm | 19:56 |
| christoff522 | then install on your external | 19:56 |
| christoff522 | just as normal | 19:56 |
| SimonM | I won't be really able to disconnect my internal one... | 19:56 |
| SimonM | laptop.... | 19:56 |
| Adam__ | How make my own OS based on Ubuntu? | 19:56 |
| chudler | theadmin: LOL @ my previous question, re: lightdm/dbus. That proposal *was* integrated, as a patch: http://dev.blankonlinux.or.id/changeset/rote%2Clightdm-webkit-greeter%2C29 | 19:56 |
| Adam__ | please | 19:56 |
| SimonM | no screwdriver or whatsoever | 19:56 |
| pyroscope | Adam__: if you need to ask that, commonly you don't | 19:56 |
| SimonM | adam: LFS | 19:56 |
| SimonM | try that | 19:56 |
| SimonM | linuxfromscratch | 19:57 |
| SimonM | if you really want to have a linux thing of yourself | 19:57 |
| christoff522 | if you don't take out your internal, it will install the bootloader on the internal and mess everything up | 19:57 |
| Adam__ | me what? | 19:57 |
| SimonM | I've got place on my internal one | 19:57 |
| SimonM | so that's no problem I guess | 19:57 |
| Adam__ | How make my own OS based on Ubuntu please? I can do it? | 19:57 |
| thrillERboy | One more thing I do the same routine installs when I install ubuntu everytime. How can I automate it? any graphical tools? | 19:57 |
| christoff522 | basically, start from scratch | 19:57 |
| christoff522 | simonM | 19:58 |
| SimonM | and another thing | 19:58 |
| SimonM | if I unplug my external | 19:58 |
| wilee-nilee | A manual install will allow grub to be put on the external | 19:58 |
| christoff522 | put windows on your internal, and linux on external | 19:58 |
| SimonM | the startup is still grey | 19:58 |
| christoff522 | or the other way out | 19:58 |
| Loshki | Adam__: Just be warned, it's a lot of work, and you'll have to do a *lot* of research to get it right... | 19:58 |
| christoff522 | round | 19:58 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: What do you actually want to change? | 19:58 |
| john__ | simon__, You still here | 19:58 |
| SimonM | yup | 19:58 |
| Adam__ | I can rename my OS to "Adam OS"? | 19:58 |
| thrillERboy | Adam__: LOL everybody has to start somewhere. | 19:59 |
| SimonM | john__? | 19:59 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: You can take Ubuntu, change the Desktop background, and call it whatever you like and it will be "An OS based on Ubuntu". | 19:59 |
| john__ | Adam__, Then Don't It's In some proprietary way not actually yours | 19:59 |
| dhci | avconv command doesn't seem to include libx264 is there a suitable means to output an .mp4 or other format for playback? | 19:59 |
| christoff522 | id suggest going on youtube SimonM | 20:00 |
| Adam__ | actually my | 20:00 |
| SimonM | any link? | 20:00 |
| christoff522 | and searching "installing ubuntu on external hard drive" | 20:00 |
| SimonM | ? | 20:00 |
| Adam__ | And i can use official ubuntu repository in my own OS? | 20:00 |
| SimonM | well the problem is | 20:00 |
| SimonM | I just want to fix my pc first | 20:00 |
| christoff522 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVCfeFOxGLQ | 20:00 |
| christoff522 | okay | 20:00 |
| john__ | well I'm not police, bt I'm pretty close | 20:00 |
| christoff522 | whats on your internal hard drive? | 20:01 |
| Adam__ | help please | 20:01 |
| SimonM | because for some reason on startup nothing happens | 20:01 |
| Jordan_U | dhci: If it's not built into the default avconv it should be in the mediubuntu version. | 20:01 |
| Adam__ | And i can use official ubuntu repository in my own OS? | 20:01 |
| SimonM | except 'press esc' | 20:01 |
| marahin | Adam__, if you wish to create your own OS, learn what the compatiblity is. | 20:01 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: Yes. | 20:01 |
| marahin | And basicly what differs Ubuntu reops from basic debian ones. | 20:01 |
| dhci | ok i'll check for that i noticed .ogg output works ok though. | 20:01 |
| john__ | Use the ubuntu server | 20:01 |
| Adam__ | that's for sure? | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | Adam__ http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/apt-build | 20:01 |
| christoff522 | the only thing you can do really is reinstall on your laptop hd | 20:01 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: Yes. | 20:01 |
| christoff522 | that will fix it | 20:01 |
| christoff522 | its definitely a bootloader issue | 20:02 |
| john__ | It is more stable, and accepts only ssh | 20:02 |
| SimonM | ok | 20:02 |
| thrillERboy | SimonM: the reason is its search for list of OS you've installed on your internal drive, but the information actually resides in your external drive. | 20:02 |
| SimonM | I'll try that | 20:02 |
| SimonM | and come back | 20:02 |
| christoff522 | well said thriller | 20:02 |
| christoff522 | okay | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: You can do pretty much whatever you like as long as you contribute your changes back openly (as required by the licenses of many components, like the GPL). | 20:02 |
| Kilroyy | I promise not to ask noob questions... I promise not to ask noob questions... I promi | 20:03 |
| Adam__ | I want rename OS and change DE and remove packages and add other but i want use official ubuntu repository servers (users will install packeges from this repos)? I can do it all of this legal?? | 20:03 |
| Kilroyy | Lol | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | Adam__: And if you don't use anything but the default repositories, and don't do any ugly hack changes like installing things outside the package manager, then people could even get support for your "OS" (or respin) here. | 20:04 |
| SimonM | adam I thunk ubuntu is sort of open source | 20:04 |

| thrillERboy | Hi, If I want to install ubuntu deskop and setup with my normal softwares and configurations automatically, is there a tool to help with that? | 20:06 |
| Elspuddy | is there something like speed fan for ubuntu ? | 20:06 |
| mayhew | thrillERboy: yes, use dpkg --get-selections, save that output to a file, and use apt-get to re-install everything on a new machine | 20:07 |
| mayhew | it won't save configurations though | 20:07 |
| thrillERboy | mayhew: Thanks, I wish ubuntu software center does that automatically for me, like chrome extensions :) | 20:08 |

| Guest52979 | so, the 3 first ones are primary. | 21:15 |
| Ben64 | SimonM: what is your end goal? | 21:15 |
| Guest52979 | then space. then logical. | 21:15 |
| Guest52979 | so whwat is the problem | 21:15 |

| Guest52979 | I guess you run windows | 21:16 |

| Guest52979 | so.. try the rescue CD or whatever it is called? | 21:16 |
| Guest52979 | fix startup repair. | 21:16 |

| SimonM | and before HP-TOOLS was on a primary partition | 21:16 |

| SimonM | and these community is much better than windows... | 21:17 |
| SimonM | I think problem is that HP-TOOLS is not primary anymore | 21:18 |
| Ben64 | no | 21:18 |
| helpmeplease | I tried but it says E: Unable to locate package compiz-fusion-plugins-extra E: Unable to locate package compiz-fusion-plugins-main | 21:18 |
| SimonM | and I think windows expects its boot to be primary | 21:18 |
| Ben64 | hp-tools has nothing at all to do with linux | 21:18 |
| Ben64 | you're making no sense | 21:18 |
| SimonM | :c | 21:18 |
| SimonM | I'm just asking one thing.... | 21:18 |
| Ben64 | not really | 21:18 |
| darkrebas | hp-tools is the hard drive label. | 21:18 |
| SimonM | How could I move the HP-TOOLS section into a primary | 21:19 |
| Dr_willis | !ccsm | helpmeplease | 21:19 |
| ubottu | helpmeplease: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 21:19 |
| darkrebas | (my best guess) | 21:19 |
| SimonM | with gparted | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | SimonM: thats not going to make ubuntu work | 21:19 |
| SimonM | :c | 21:19 |
| SimonM | I know | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | then... why are you here | 21:19 |
| SimonM | I'm just trying to get my pc working.... | 21:19 |
| Dr_willis | helpmeplease, try a sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get upgrade. then try installing the psckages | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | SimonM: then install ubuntu? | 21:19 |
| SimonM | I'm on a usb ubuntu thing | 21:19 |
| SimonM | can't | 21:19 |
| SimonM | that's the problem.... | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | yes you can | 21:19 |
| SimonM | when I installed it | 21:19 |
| SimonM | and reinstalled | 21:19 |
| Ben64 | there is 10GB space | 21:19 |

| === peterrr is now known as peterr | ||
| SimonM | But Ben64, if I want to move HP-TOOLS to a primary with gparted, how would I do that? | 21:20 |
| helpmeplease | sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package simple-ccsm | 21:20 |
| SimonM | That's the only thing I need to know... | 21:20 |
| Ben64 | hp-tools has ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NOTHING~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to do with booting ubuntu, and if you make it primary, you cannot make any more partitions, and it won't fix anything anyway | 21:21 |
| === peterr is now known as peterrr | ||
| SimonM | ok then | 21:21 |
| SimonM | then just don't help me... | 21:21 |
| Ben64 | i'm trying, you're not listening | 21:21 |
| dripdrip | I just opened a laptop that I haven't used in 3 years, and tried to watch a show. Sound is not working, but every test I know how to run shows that it is. Please advise. | 21:21 |
| dripdrip | damnit | 21:21 |
| dripdrip | can someone help me run a terminal test to determine what the audio issue is | 21:21 |
| Ben64 | dripdrip: what version of ubuntu | 21:21 |
| kanzie | Im trying to get php5-fpm working through socket on my 12.10 however the .sock-file is not in /var/run do I have to create this manually or what? | 21:22 |
| dripdrip | Ben64: 11.10 | 21:23 |
| helpmeplease | ok I have done sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:23 |
| shahanbangladesh | I just instaled ubuntu 12.04.2 But my display brightness is at lowest level.Icannt make it higher.Its on HP Mini 100 | 21:23 |
| shahanbangladesh | any idea to make this problem solved? | 21:24 |
| SimonM | Ben64 could copying HP-TOOLS to an external hard drive and then copying into a primary work? | 21:24 |
| Ben64 | SimonM: it won't fix anything | 21:24 |
| SimonM | it will fix my windows | 21:24 |
| Ben64 | no it won't | 21:24 |
| SimonM | very helpful... | 21:24 |
| Ben64 | if you look carefully, it is helpful | 21:25 |
| Ben64 | trying to save you from wasting a bunch of time | 21:25 |
| SimonM | ok what do you advice? | 21:25 |
| Ben64 | if you want to fix windows, go to ##windows | 21:25 |
| SimonM | they are rubbish.... | 21:25 |
| SimonM | One thing to mention | 21:26 |
| SimonM | I don't have a windows cd | 21:26 |
| SimonM | to only thing I'm able to do is boot my pc with an ubuntu usb | 21:26 |
| SimonM | and use livemode | 21:26 |
| Dr_willis | there are legal ways to get a windows7 rescue/repair cds for free off the internet. - saw some info/links on lifehacker we site a month or 2 ago. | 21:27 |
| SimonM | Can't really wait for that.... | 21:27 |
| Ben64 | then install ubuntu | 21:27 |
| dripdrip | I ran packmd, and list-sinks and it shows my volume is mute... but on the sound icon in the top right corner of my screen, sound shows not muted. Ideas? | 21:27 |
| SimonM | did twice | 21:27 |
| SimonM | reinstalled | 21:27 |
| SimonM | gave the same problem | 21:27 |
| Ben64 | your drive has no ubuntus on it, so... | 21:27 |
| k1l | SimonM: so to tell the truth. you broke your windows while playing with the partitions and now want to solve that with the ubuntu live system | 21:27 |
| shahanbangladesh | any solution to my problem? | 21:28 |
| SimonM | sort of :) | 21:28 |
| SimonM | well | 21:28 |
| SimonM | not really playing with partitions | 21:28 |
| k1l | SimonM: so instead of trying to fool everyone in here you could tell the truth | 21:28 |
| SimonM | the ubuntu install did it | 21:28 |
| shahanbangladesh | I cannt increase the brightness of my display.its 12.04 on HP mini 100 | 21:28 |
| SimonM | I did not really fool anyone? | 21:28 |
| Ben64 | well you're coming to #ubuntu for windows support, so thats a bit wonky | 21:29 |
| SimonM | i'm sorry | 21:29 |
| k1l | SimonM: the ubuntu install didnt cause that. | 21:29 |
| SimonM | but ubuntu is just more helpful | 21:29 |
| SimonM | than windows | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | there is 10GB of free space, and ubuntu will gladly install there and boot fine | 21:29 |
| SimonM | ... | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | if you want to get a system up and running | 21:29 |
| k1l | SimonM: so again: you are lying. stop that in here. stop waisting the time of volunteers | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | otherwise there isn't really anything you can do it looks like | 21:29 |
| SimonM | srry | 21:30 |
| SimonM | Still any suggestions what I could do? | 21:30 |
| wilee-nilee | SimonM, YOU can download a windows recovery for 20$ | 21:31 |
| SimonM | ok | 21:31 |
| Dr_willis | ive seen rescue/repair (but not reinstal) cds for free | 21:32 |
| wilee-nilee | SimonM, http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ | 21:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Free unless MS sees them, if not MS. | 21:33 |
| SimonM | ty | 21:33 |
| k1l | the windows support would suit better into the ##windows channel | 21:33 |
| SimonM | same network? | 21:33 |
| k1l | yes | 21:33 |
| SimonM | ok | 21:34 |
| wilee-nilee | SimonM, /j ##windows you have to be registerd though | 21:34 |

| Dr_willis | SourceSlayer, dowload the source. let the user compile it. and run it from his home directory | 21:53 |
| Dr_willis | yes matmbl ? | 21:53 |
| matmbl | can anyway help with pam / mysql / smtp authentication I have a odd situation! | 21:53 |
| john__ | tall call | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | john__, do you have an actual ubuntu support question? | 21:54 |
| SourceSlayer | Thanks, Dr_willis. I actually never thought of that. :/ | 21:54 |
| john__ | can we take them one at a time | 21:54 |
| john__ | Dr_willis, shut up and listen | 21:55 |
| Loshki | SourceSlayer: or install it as usual, then find the executable and change its permissions so it's read/execute only by that user.... | 21:55 |
| diverdude | if only i knew why ubuntu was so popular and people say linux is so insanely stable....In average ubuntu seems to crash 1-2 times per day, it over heats my processor and its insanely slow in the gui and movie playback is lagging...what is it again that is so nice about this system? | 21:55 |
| Ben64 | john__: keep the attitude in check, nobody can help you if you don't ask a question | 21:56 |
| Dr_willis | diverdude, i could say the same thing about windows.... please rant elsewhere. | 21:56 |
| Myrtti | diverdude: for many people it is insanely stable. Your question is rhetoric and not really a support question that we can help you with. If you want someone to try to help you with the actual issue, supply us with more information. | 21:56 |
| john__ | Ben64, Unless I answer hem | 21:56 |
| xx | how do i update my flash | 21:56 |
| xx | or java | 21:56 |
| Dr_willis | !java | xx | 21:56 |
| ubottu | xx: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 21:56 |
| Ben64 | john__: you haven't answered anything, you so far have just spammed random stuff | 21:57 |
| xx | so i can play onlinegames? | 21:57 |
| john__ | Ben64, More my call. Been using unix since 1987 | 21:57 |

| matmbl | thx | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | SourceSlayer, that dosent need 'source' you can extract the tar.gz into the users home and run it from there i recall.. | 22:02 |

| matmbl | soz, new here ! | 22:03 |
| k1l | john__: stop that. be helpfull if you want to help in here | 22:03 |
| k1l | matmbl: no problem. just see if someone knows the answer | 22:04 |
| SourceSlayer | Dr_willis: Then Blender would bea better example I guess. | 22:04 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: in most of those paths prefix with /etc/ for example /etc/pam.d is the general location of config files for pam, there is /etc/my.conf - i believe /etc/mail/ will be post fix configurations - and the saslauthd stuff i can't confirm - but safe to take a look under /etc/ for a similar pattern | 22:04 |
| === derek is now known as Guest95164 | ||
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: you may want to look at the logs under /var/log to get a better idea of what facility is throwing the error - | 22:05 |
| matmbl | that's my problem, I've even built a new vpc of 12.04 LTS and that's working perfectly with (as far as I can tell) identical setup.. | 22:05 |
| Myrtti | john__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide | 22:05 |
| SolarisBoy | you need to look at the logs to get a better idea of where the error is coming from. | 22:06 |
| Loshki | matmbl: can you diff -r the working /etc against the broken one to see where they differ? | 22:06 |
| matmbl | question, if I do a "testsaslauthd -u root -p passwd -s login" should that be the same as logging into the box (from an password check perspective) | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | SourceSlayer, you can dowload the source. and compile most things, and run them from the users home directory for a single user. | 22:06 |
| SolarisBoy | if it's pam auth errors - you would most likely find them in /var/log/auth.log | 22:06 |
| Dr_willis | SourceSlayer, the admin may need to install all the needed 'dev' packages to make the compile possible however. | 22:07 |
| SolarisBoy | haven't used that binary before can't confirm - you can tail your logs and see if it did - or read the man page | 22:07 |
| matmbl | Loshki: did that but I can only assume another (unknown) config file is different... I've been trying to 'finish' the config for someone else and it's driving me nuts! | 22:07 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: did you check the logs for any of these applications yet? | 22:07 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: /var/log/auth.log? | 22:07 |
| Loshki | SourceSlayer: it's an odd way to work. Why not just install the app and let everyone use it? | 22:08 |
| Loshki | matmbl: then I agree with SolarisBoy. Time to compare the logs and see if you can home in on the section that's different... | 22:08 |
| SourceSlayer | Loshki: Because in some cases the user will not have privileges. | 22:08 |
| matmbl | auth.log: saslauthd[6857]: DEBUG: auth_pam: pam_authenticate failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module | 22:09 |
| matmbl | I know the password is the same (imap-courier auth works file to the same) | 22:09 |
| matmbl | I also know the db is being access (query logging in mysql) | 22:09 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: ok - is that a system user? | 22:09 |
| matmbl | imap auth works *fine* | 22:09 |
| Loshki | SourceSlayer: I'm confused. Are you talking about privileges to run the app, or to install it? | 22:10 |
| matmbl | SolarisBoy: no, I'm authenticating against mailbox table in mysql (virtual user) | 22:10 |
| SourceSlayer | Loshki: Install | 22:10 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: thats what i thought | 22:10 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: check that whatever pam module that should be handling that action is enabled and configured properly | 22:11 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: /etc/pam.d/smtp ? present on your system? | 22:11 |
| matmbl | as far as I can tell it is /etc/pam.d/smtp is configured correctly, | 22:12 |
| Loshki | matmbl: do you know what username is being used? | 22:12 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: and be sure that you have all the proper pam additional software instaleld (if needed) | 22:12 |
| matmbl | auth required pam_mysql.so user=mail passwd=XXX host=127.0.0.1 db=maildb table=mailbox usercolumn=username passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 md5=1 | 22:12 |
| matmbl | same as my other vpc | 22:13 |
| === Nisstyre-laptop is now known as Nisstyre | ||
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: how did you duplicate this configuration? | 22:13 |
| Loshki | SourceSlayer: but usually an admin with root privileges installs apps, then users run them. How come your model seems different? | 22:14 |
| matmbl | I didn't I reinstalled from base ubuntu on another vpc. then installed following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto | 22:14 |
| SolarisBoy | matmbl: so you have re-installed all those packages? | 22:15 |
| Loshki | matmbl: So it does a mysql lookup for the authentication? Do the *contents* of the mysql database differ between the working and non-working versions? | 22:15 |
| matmbl | the problem installation is something I'm trying to complete for someone else (he was having problems). I've got it almost complete except for this darn smtp authentication | 22:15 |

| theqkash | however it is coming from 11.04 | 22:17 |

| mywatsjal | I started startx server on my user account and get some screen now after reboot i annot login, i get some info and cannot login withinm y session | 22:18 |

| mywatsjal | Im logged in via terminal now as user so how to stop startx please help | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | theqkash: Then it's probably in a chroot or other virtual container, and upstart has problems with those (or at least did at one time). On top of that, you can't be sure that the kernel was actually upgraded with everything else. Does your VPS provide upgrading instructions? | 22:20 |
| SourceSlayer | Loshki: Earth was just an example, they can install different things.. | 22:20 |
| theqkash | Jordan_U: there is no instruction or nothing | 22:21 |
| Jordan_U | theqkash: Call up the tech support and ask them. | 22:22 |
| Loshki | SourceSlayer: I understand, but the principle is the same. In general, you install whatever you think they may need on the guest machine. It's probably too much of a security risk to give them permission to install/uninstall on their own... | 22:22 |
| theqkash | any chance to fix it without contacting them? | 22:22 |

| Dr_willis | then look.... | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | sudo? | 22:28 |

| Dr_willis | why did you use sudo? | 22:28 |
| mx8manger | hello buddies | 22:28 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | because operation was not permited for single startx | 22:28 |

| iamwhatsjalsds | k find it | 22:30 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | now what? | 22:30 |
| mx8manger | well x-chat connected here automaticaly | 22:30 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | cat .Xauthority | 22:30 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | cat: .Xauthority: Permission denied | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | its owned by root i am guessing.. use sudo to remove it. | 22:30 |
| mx8manger | is there any way to remap keys in the kernel or something lol | 22:30 |
| mx8manger | i use xmodmap | 22:30 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | but I have .Xauthority on this usee | 22:30 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | user, and I see everything fine with my cinnamon gui | 22:30 |
| mx8manger | but it only remaps x server key inputs | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | iamwhatsjalsds, and who OWNS the file? if you did a sudo startx it made a .Xauthorigy owned by root not the user.. | 22:31 |
| k1l | iamwhatsjalsds: cinnamon? is it a mint linux? | 22:31 |
| mx8manger | whenever i am using vbox my remaped keys donst work | 22:31 |
| mx8manger | help plz | 22:31 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | k1l, no, ubuntu | 22:31 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | Dr_willis, root owns the file, but file is placed at /home/mainuser/.Xa and /home/currentuser/.Xa. | 22:32 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | so if I remove it from mainuser are you sure it will work? | 22:32 |
| mx8manger | come on some one say something | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | iamwhatsjalsds, and they should not be owned by root. but by the user | 22:32 |
| mx8manger | btw | 22:32 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | Because Im on currentuser and cinnamon works fine | 22:32 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | ah so I can chown it? | 22:32 |
| mx8manger | guys i corrupted my windows boot files | 22:32 |
| Ben64 | try ##windows ? | 22:32 |
| wutang | Dudes and duettes | 22:33 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | Dr_willis, should I chown it with mainuser right>? | 22:33 |
| mx8manger | is there a way to force grub to boot from local drive iso's so i can fix my windows installtion | 22:33 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | what will happen if I remove it? | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | iamwhatsjalsds, or remove it and let the user relog in and remake the files | 22:33 |
| wutang | is there a good tutorial out the for using truecrypt and xubuntu, both encrypted medium marrying up harmoniouosly | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | or rename it.. | 22:33 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | ok | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | bbl | 22:33 |
| iamwhatsjalsds | lol | 22:34 |

| oday | hi.. i downloaded an .iso file of win 7.. how do i burn it so it would be bootable on a dvd and with what program? | 22:39 |
| wilee-nilee | oday, What desktop are you using? | 22:40 |
| k1l | oday: every burning program should do | 22:41 |
| oday | wilee-nilee, gnome in 12.10 | 22:41 |
| === phrac_ is now known as phrac | ||
| wilee-nilee | oday, Brasero works fine for burning dvds. | 22:42 |
| oday | wilee-nilee, will it make it bootable? | 22:42 |
| iamwhoiam | people, i was running qbittorrent and for some reason i cannot close it, ps aux returns it, and killall qbittorrent doesnt do anything.. any suggestions? | 22:42 |
| wilee-nilee | oday, Burn it as an image yse. | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | yes* | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | oday, This a MS ISO? | 22:43 |
| oday | wilee-nilee, it's a file Win7Ult-SP1-x64-en-US-Feb2013.iso | 22:44 |
| oday | i pressed on it and choose write to disc | 22:44 |
| oday | it's burning now. i hope it will be bootable. | 22:44 |
| wilee-nilee | oday, Is it a full install dsic or just the sp1/ | 22:45 |
| oday | 4.4gb, i think it's full :D | 22:45 |
| wilee-nilee | oday, Cool, I hope it is an official ISO is all, anything else is not worth the risk of imbeded badware. | 22:46 |
| oday | wilee-nilee, it is. my only worry is if it won't be bootable :D i hope brasero will do the job. | 22:47 |
| Ben64 | sounds like piracy | 22:47 |

| lukejt | I used to use an Ubuntu ISO loader on my usb key and now I can't find it.. (you boot the loader via grub, then it lets you scan for and boot ubuntu ISOs) can anyone point me in the right direction? | 23:24 |
| wilee-nilee | lukejt, Why not just load the ISO to the usb? | 23:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Or do you mean a multi usb loader is what you used? | 23:27 |
| lukejt | wilee-nilee: I usually have several Ubuntu images, x86, amd64, alternates etc. | 23:27 |
| lukejt | the tool was official provided by canonical, was so easy because you could just copy a new iso to the usb then load it without messing with cfgs | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | lukejt, There are single ISO loader for a usb and multiloaders, for example I use one that has W8, and avout 8 other ISO on my usb stick | 23:28 |
| lukejt | yeah it was a multi loader | 23:29 |
| lukejt | it scanned the drives for bootable ISOs | 23:29 |
