| Nitro___ | wilee-nilee, okay cause I think I uninstalled some but I just want the one that searches for files back | 00:09 |
| ripoz | james-ubc: i know there is software to do it, e..g a package called 'synaptic' (not the synaptic package manager) but no idea if working on 12.04 | 00:09 |

| Dr_willis | Im guessing its a meta-package | 00:52 |
| Spec-Chum | Dr_willis: actually, my last comment was a little of the mark, I've got vlc phonon installed so i want to lose the gstreamer one, I can remove that package but it then says all linux audio needs to go :/ | 00:53 |
| Spec-Chum | *off | 00:53 |
| Dr_willis | bbl | 00:55 |

| aamer | TheJack me? | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | Giwrgaras: since if performance matters most and you are happy to use a text based shell only then you would not install the graphical variant of ubuntu but ubuntu server (which is also free) | 02:19 |

| Giwrgaras | i dont know ubuntu and ill go to a ubuntu server? sounds complicated | 02:21 |
| tomreyn | Giwrgaras: well then you did it well ;) | 02:21 |
| nnyk_ | please what is the correct format of this tar command, 'tar -cvf archive.tar /path/to/file/ --exclude-caches-all --exclude-backups --exclude=folder'? cos its returning an empty file | 02:21 |
| mildfate | Giwrgaras: can you help? | 02:21 |
| barfod | why does it need all of the extra flags ? | 02:22 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: i don't think nomachine NX (I assume that's what you mean) is supported by ubuntu | 02:22 |
| barfod | and -c is for create | 02:22 |
| barfod | -v is for verbose | 02:22 |
| nnyk_ | i want to exclude some dirs and some have cache files in them which i dont want to include | 02:22 |
| aamer | TheJack | 02:22 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: you are trying to remote control some other graphcal system? | 02:23 |
| aamer | the problem is not about fonts | 02:23 |
| aamer | it's about system locale | 02:23 |
| aamer | I don't wanna use ubuntu in arabic | 02:23 |
| barfod | i use squashfs for that with the -e flag nnyk_ , but tar is good, just as you can see a little more difficult | 02:23 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I'm sshing into my new ubuntu box with the -X flag to allow forwarding but x11 is extremely slow | 02:24 |
| nnyk_ | yeah, i certainly can see that... | 02:24 |
| TheJack | hey <mildfate look here http://www.nomachine.com/documents/plugin/install.php | 02:24 |
| mildfate | I heard no machine nx was fast | 02:24 |
| nnyk_ | barfod: but the format is correct yeah? | 02:24 |
| aamer | I dont wanna set the display lang to arabic but I wanna set the locale to arabic, also, I don't want the formatting (date and time blah blah) to be arabic | 02:24 |
| TheJack | hey mildfate look here http://www.nomachine.com/documents/plugin/install.php | 02:24 |
| aamer | anyone? | 02:24 |
| tomreyn | aamer: you said what you don't want to do, what is it wthat you do want to do? | 02:25 |
| aamer | and it's not just about wine apps | 02:25 |
| barfod | nnyk_, give me mintue and ill open the man pages and test it for you. something i have been meaning to do anyway. to make a tar based liveCD to replace my squashfs based system | 02:25 |
| mildfate | TheJack: how will I use this? I can't get to a browser | 02:25 |
| nnyk_ | alright thanks..ill also check on my end | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: have you tried vnc, yet? | 02:26 |
| tomreyn | what is your client running? | 02:26 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I haven't, I don't know what that is | 02:26 |
| TheJack | use the lynx | 02:26 |
| mildfate | ubuntu 13.04 | 02:27 |
| TheJack | use the lynx mildfate | 02:27 |
| mildfate | do you mean links? or is lynx a thing | 02:27 |
| barfod | /path/to/file/ has to be a real absolute or relative path | 02:27 |
| barfod | not sure if you caught that nnyk_ | 02:27 |
| aamer | tomreyn in windows, the system locale is explained as: default language to use for programs that don't support unicode, I've seen this in arch linux, so is there a way to do it here in ubuntu from the terminal? | 02:28 |
| barfod | start from / using auto complete to get your relative path correct | 02:28 |
| TheJack | apt-get install lynx ... and them lynx www.webpage.com | 02:28 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: VNC is the de facto standard for a graphical remote control application, so if you have a graphical desktop on both your local and the remote computer and prefer grpahical interfaces over text based ones, VNC is probably want youwant, or at least want to give a try before you try somethnig else. | 02:28 |
| nnyk_ | barfod: sorry? | 02:28 |
| barfod | try this instead: go to the directory you want to tar and type: tar -cvf archive.tar . --exclude-caches-all --exclude-backups --exclude=folder | 02:29 |
| barfod | "." means current dir | 02:29 |
| tomreyn | aamer: well possible, but i do not know how. try a websearch, i would say. | 02:29 |
| aamer | tomreyn I want ubuntu to display non-unicode arabic applications correctly instead of latin and funny symbols | 02:29 |
| TheJack | mildfate lynx its a program to access web pages through the terminal | 02:29 |
| mildfate | TheJack: got it, thanks | 02:29 |
| barfod | well it actually is the source command as well. but in this case it is a "relative path" to the current dir | 02:29 |
| TheJack | :) | 02:29 |
| TheJack | i brb | 02:30 |
| aamer | tomreyn I tried, but I'll try again, for a third time... :( | 02:30 |
| tomreyn | aamer: i could possibly tell you how to set it globally for all applications, or how to do it for single applications, but not how to do it for all applications which do not support unicode. | 02:30 |
| barfod | and --exclude needs some /path/to/folders as well | 02:30 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I install vncserver on my ubuntu box. Then install vnc viewer on my mac? | 02:31 |
| aamer | tomreyn could it be impossible in ubuntu? I don't think so! | 02:31 |
| wxl | mildfate: if it's recent os x, you already have one. | 02:31 |
| nnyk_ | oh...yeah, i missed that i needed to include the absolute path | 02:31 |
| mildfate | wxl: Is it called vnc viewer? | 02:32 |
| aamer | anyway i'll do another deep search with black coffee and see what can I do | 02:32 |
| mildfate | wxl: I'm on os x 10.8.4 | 02:32 |
| nnyk_ | barfod: that worked, thanks | 02:32 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: a vnc server is already installed o ubuntu if you installed the graphical desktop | 02:32 |
| nnyk_ | barfod:needed to put the absolute path to the folders i was excluding | 02:33 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I guess I'm not sure I did that. I did "install ubuntu-desktop". Was that right? | 02:33 |
| wxl | mildfate: it's called screen sharing | 02:33 |
| wxl | mildfate: i believe you can use vnc://server:port addressing in finder | 02:33 |
| histo | mildfate: yes | 02:34 |
| mildfate | histo: Is it called vncserver? Or something else? | 02:34 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: i was referring to the installation iso you downloaded. but if you installed the ubuntu-desktpü package (which you just saidyou did) then that should have ensures you have it, too. | 02:34 |
| barfod | nnyk_, np | 02:35 |
| histo | mildfate: in my dash it's called "Desktop Sharing" | 02:35 |
| histo | mildfate: press the Super Key or click the dash icon and type sharing | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: the vnc server i was referring to is called vino, you should be ale to configure it through the menu (click the top left icon and type "vino" or "vnc", that should help you find it) | 02:35 |
| mildfate | So, I have vncserver on my ubuntu and I've been given a new ip address (I guess). Is screen sharing an app in os x? | 02:35 |
| tomreyn | oh desktop sharing then | 02:36 |
| orman | chicken of the vnc is free on mac | 02:36 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: Oh! I don't have access to the menu, I'm sshd into the ubuntu box. So I'm on command line | 02:36 |
| orman | yea also screen sharing is an app | 02:36 |
| wxl | there's a bunch of free vnc clients for the mac, all of which come from that time (before 10.4) that there was no native vnc client | 02:36 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: but this remote ubuntu system does have a graphical desktop and is supposed to have one? | 02:37 |
| orman | I use chicken of the vnc because it's faster | 02:37 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I want it to and, as I understand it, the way to do that was to install ubuntu-desktop. I'm unsure if more is required | 02:37 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: if i recall correctly, this should suffice. | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: you said earlier that you ran graphical applications using X forwarding, do i remember that correctly? | 02:38 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: so using ssh -X | 02:39 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: Yea, but it was horrifically slow, that's why I'm trying to do this | 02:39 |
| mildfate | yea | 02:39 |
| barfod | it will still be slow | 02:39 |
| wxl | imho no remote connection tool is really that fast | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: okay but do it once more now just to setup VNC. run "vino-preferences" with X forwarding | 02:39 |
| mildfate | should I shut-off the vncserver? | 02:40 |
| barfod | use a tmux session, and console apps. | 02:40 |
| wxl | +1 barfod | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: which vncserver are you running? | 02:40 |
| mildfate | barfod: well, ultimately I'm trying to install matlab | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: i wasn't aware that you are running one already | 02:40 |
| * wxl wonders if freemat has a cli interface | 02:40 | |
| mildfate | tomreyn: I don't know, I just entered the command "vncserver" and it gave me some info | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: do you feel like sharing that info with us? if it's more than three lines please use a pastebin | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | !paste | 02:41 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:41 |
| mildfate | tomreyn: err… how do I keep people from logging into it? | 02:41 |
| barfod | ah, understood. might have to just sync filesystems to share changes to your base of data. trying to direct the graphical sessions around will likely always be slow, and difficult to port. | 02:41 |
| barfod | not to discourage you. it sounds cool. but that is why i dont use it much. my equipment is just to slow to start | 02:42 |
| histo | mildfate: How did you install vncserver? | 02:42 |
| mildfate | apt-get install vnc4server | 02:42 |
| mildfate | tomreyn:? | 02:43 |
| histo | mildfate: what is your question now? | 02:43 |
| tomreyn | mildfate: so now you have 2 vnc servers. histo is doing a good job, carry on with him, i need to get some sleep. | 02:43 |
| barfod | sometimes people get stuck with crappy ssh connection as well. 10Mib where it should be at least 35 | 02:43 |
| barfod | thats would really screw any chance for effective X forwarding | 02:44 |
| histo | mildfate: is there a reason you don't want to use the built in remote desktop application? | 02:44 |
| mildfate | histo: Okay, here's the story. I'm trying to install a student license of matlab onto my ubuntu box. I tried doing it commandline, but in order to do that it requires a fileactivationkey—which I'm not allowed to have because it's a student license. So then I tried to installing it using tunneling with -X but it was far too slow. So now I'm trying to show my ubuntu ui so I can install it | 02:44 |
| mildfate | histo: I can use whatever I need to, I just haven't heard of a lot of essential programs because I'm fairly new to linux and a complete newb to ubuntu | 02:45 |
| histo | mildfate: use the built in desktop sharing application | 02:45 |
| mildfate | histo: in ubuntu? what's it called / how do I use it? | 02:45 |
| niranjan_ | Hi there, is there a way so that automatic suspend/hibernate won't kick in if I am using ssh | 02:45 |
| histo | mildfate: I told you press the windows key... or click the dash icon and type in sharing it will come up as the first result. Then just click the "Desktop Sharing" applicaiton | 02:45 |
| niranjan_ | I use ssh to connect to other box, but that box is set to hibernate after certain inactive period, I don't want it to suspend if I am connected remotely | 02:46 |
| mildfate | histo: I'm on my mac though, the ubuntu box is in the close | 02:46 |
| mildfate | * in the cloud | 02:46 |
| histo | mildfate: ahh hold up | 02:46 |
| mildfate | I don't have Desktop Sharing.app | 02:46 |
| mildfate | histo: hahah, see? complicated | 02:46 |
| mildfate | atm, I'm sshd into the ubuntu box | 02:47 |
| histo | mildfate: ssh -X vino-preferences user@yourbox | 02:48 |
| histo | mildfate: that will allow you to setup the desktop sharing | 02:48 |
| min|dvir|us | Anyone use CouchDB? | 02:49 |
| histo | mildfate: sorry ssh -X user@yourbox vino-preferences | 02:49 |
| min|dvir|us | I'm trying to get multiple CouchDB instances running on different ports. Anyone have experience with that? | 02:49 |
| histo | mildfate: then connect to it via a vnc viewer application | 02:49 |
| histo | min|dvir|us: what is couchdb? | 02:50 |
| min|dvir|us | histo: if you can connect to IRC, you can Google. :) | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | min|dvir|us, he could give the same answer to you also. ;P | 02:51 |
| histo | min|dvir|us: Then google your issue | 02:51 |
| min|dvir|us | No, he couldn't, because he doesn't know what CouchDB is. | 02:51 |
| mildfate | histo: A dialog came up, but it's, again, incredibly slow to respond, will this be what it's like when I vnc? | 02:51 |
| min|dvir|us | And, rule #1 of IRC states: google before you come to IRC. | 02:51 |
| sam113101 | can someone give me the default gnome-terminal color scheme in ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| min|dvir|us | Hence, my presence. | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | mildfate, with vnc. i find it best to use the lightest window manager you can when using vnc. it can be very sluggish. | 02:52 |
| histo | min|dvir|us: It maybe a little faster. VNC is slow without compression. The other option is teamviewer | 02:52 |
| histo | mildfate: sorry ^^^^^^^ | 02:52 |
| mildfate | histo: that's okay, I'll see what I can do with this for now. So, I close the dialog box with "allow others to control you desktop" checked. What's next? | 02:52 |
| histo | min|dvir|us: ask in the apache room | 02:53 |
| histo | mildfate: also I would uncheck that you have to accept it upon request... and use a password. Is this ubuntu box located on the web somewhere or local lan? | 02:54 |
| mildfate | histo: on the web, but it has an insane dns so it's not likely to be found | 02:54 |
| Campfire | is there any way to back to a restore point on ubuntu | 02:54 |
| histo | mildfate: oh boy well I would secure vnc then | 02:54 |
| min|dvir|us | histo: thanks for the suggestion. | 02:54 |
| histo | mildfate: or use teamviewer | 02:54 |
| Campfire | go back to | 02:54 |
| histo | !vnc | mildfate | 02:55 |
| ubottu | mildfate: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 02:55 |
| histo | Campfire: What's the problem? | 02:55 |
| mildfate | histo: why? it's not likely someone will find it | 02:55 |
| mildfate | histo: or someone I don't know try to login | 02:55 |
| Campfire | oh long story i need to go back in time | 02:55 |
| histo | mildfate: they will find it within hours | 02:55 |

| histo | Campfire: do you have backups | 02:56 |
| Campfire | yeah | 02:56 |
| histo | mildfate: well teamviewer is pretty secure and fast... or read the instructions from ubottu above | 02:56 |
| Campfire | i have not created backups though | 02:56 |
| histo | Campfire: Settings for what? | 02:57 |
| Campfire | anyway ubuntu might have by default | 02:57 |
| KriShANsiN | Campfire: isnt it funny how Mac computers have this time machine constant emphasis on being able to back up to an earlier desktop, but with the iPhone and iPad they do the opposite, thye will do ANYThing to keep you from downgrading to earlier firmware.? | 02:57 |
| daftykins | KriShANsiN: no, because backing up your data isn't running an old OS | 02:58 |
| mildfate | histo: Next step: install teamviewer on the ubuntu box? | 02:58 |
| KriShANsiN | daftykins: yeah, and its not a Ubuntu related comment either sorry. | 02:58 |
| histo | mildfate: I would or use vnc over ssh. | 02:58 |
| Campfire | not so funny | 02:58 |
| histo | mildfate: teamviewer would probably be faster. | 02:58 |
| daftykins | KriShANsiN: that's cool i don't enforce 'the law' around here much ;) | 02:59 |
| Campfire | well in the future how do i do backups | 02:59 |

| ubottu | Campfire: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 03:26 |
| reduz | thank you! checking | 03:26 |
| Campfire | ok say i want to ssh a pc with permision how do i do it command wise | 03:27 |
| jswagner | ssh <computername> | 03:27 |
| histo | Campfire: ssh user@some.computers.ip.address | 03:28 |
| Campfire | if i did not give permisision for someone to ssh me ould i scan my network for running ssh,s | 03:28 |
| Campfire | trying to see both sides | 03:29 |
| jswagner | can you rephrase the question | 03:29 |
| Campfire | if i did not give permission for someone to ssh me could i scan my network for running ssh,s | 03:29 |
| histo | Campfire: you need to have sshd running for someone to even connect. It's not enabled by default | 03:29 |
| jswagner | i think he's asking if there's a way to see what ssh sessions are open | 03:30 |
| orman | Campfire, try out nmap command | 03:30 |
| FZombie | I wonder why software center takes 20 times longer to install the same package when compared to just apt-get install packagename I've got the fastest ivybridge i5 and enough ram. | 03:30 |
| histo | Campfire: if you're asking to be able to see the traffic? it's encrypted. | 03:30 |
| histo | Campfire: if you read the first link from ubottu about ssh it will explain alot | 03:30 |
| Campfire | ty | 03:31 |
| Campfire | well other then ssh are there any other remotes i should worry about | 03:32 |
| histo | Campfire: Not by default | 03:32 |
| Campfire | ok not by default but lets say a crafty friend on my pc that likes to snoop by turning on stuff | 03:34 |
| Baribal_ | Where can I find a kickstart file for use with cobbler to deploy networked, SSHable, but otherwise mostly bare VMs? | 03:34 |
| jswagner | Campfire: obviously you need to be aware of what's going on on your computer. but this isn't an ubuntu-specific problem. | 03:35 |
| Baribal_ | ...or any "official" kickstar file, anyways? | 03:35 |
| jswagner | Campfire: perhaps this will be of some use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features | 03:37 |
| Campfire | ok being spacific if by chance any remotes are on is there a way to reset default settings so no one can get through | 03:38 |
| jswagner | there are some nice security testing tools there that are specific to Ubuntu | 03:38 |
| Campfire | ok ty | 03:38 |
| Campfire | i,ll look at that | 03:38 |
| Campfire | carry on i goot a bit to read | 03:38 |

| jenia | hello everyone. | 03:43 |
| jenia | how do i connect to an ftp server running on ubuntu from another ubuntu machine | 03:43 |
| jenia | ? | 03:43 |
| jenia | basically what ip address do i use? | 03:43 |
| jswagner | find the IP address on the target computer | 03:43 |
| orman | ftp user@othercomputerip.com | 03:44 |
| jenia | okay i know it | 03:44 |
| jenia | but know do i tell it what computer on that network | 03:44 |
| jenia | like my ip is blablabla | 03:44 |
| jenia | but the computer on that netowrk is blablabla:101 | 03:44 |
| Campfire | js i just looked at the site they gave me and these security tools i,m interested in to | 03:44 |
| jenia | how do i say that? | 03:44 |
| histo | jenia: edit your /etc/hosts create a line with computername ip address | 03:45 |
| histo | jenia: sorry ipaddress computername | 03:45 |
| orman | jenia, what is the :101 ? | 03:45 |
| histo | dyslexic today | 03:45 |
| orman | port number shouldn't be needed | 03:45 |
| jenia | that the name of the computer on that network. like the computer internal ip is 168.162.1.101 | 03:45 |
| Campfire | js when you get a chance can you give me the name of all the tools | 03:46 |
| jswagner | jenia: ftp <IPAddress> | 03:46 |
| orman | you have a user name for the ftp? | 03:46 |
| jenia | so i want to say jenia@external_ip.101 | 03:46 |
| jswagner | Campfire: no, you'll have to do this research on your own | 03:46 |
| orman | it would be jenia@168.162.1.101 | 03:46 |
| orman | ftp jenia@168.162.1.101 | 03:46 |

| dotcom | Hello there. I downloaded a bunch of GIF files. These are all serialized like p1.gif, p2.gif, p3.gif,........ p100.gif. Now i want to convert them serially into a single pdf file. I tried it using "convert *.gif result.pdf" , but i am not getting i want. | 04:04 |
| dotcom | The generated pdf is not serially arranged. | 04:04 |
| orman | agu10: check user permissions with ls -l | 04:04 |
| dotcom | Instead the convert utility is arranging them in pdf file according to file size, and not according to serial numbers. | 04:05 |
| devslash | ive got an issue with unity. my trackpad randomly seems to trigger the application switcher that you get by doing alt tab. is there a way to disable this feature | 04:05 |
| dotcom | What can i do? | 04:05 |
| rafael__ | Guys, where I decompress themes for gdm? | 04:05 |

| trainerdad | I have an ubuntuone question but cant seem to join the right channel for the topic. | 05:22 |
| caborca | Hi. Somebody can tell me how to installa a desktop theme on ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| trainerdad | any help would be greatly appreciated | 05:22 |
| macwolf74 | caborca, create a folder in your home folder called .themes, and unzip the theme into that .themes | 05:22 |
| macwolf74 | then get unity tweak tool, go under appearance or themes and change it from there | 05:23 |
| caborca | ok, i'll try it | 05:23 |
| varunendra | tobii, swap yes, easily. Boot - too many changes and manual work will be required. But yes, both are possible. | 05:24 |
| caborca | but, which is my home foler? | 05:24 |
| macwolf74 | it should be the folder that starts up when you open files | 05:24 |
| tobii | varunendra, i see, thank you | 05:24 |
| iceroot | caborca: /home/username or just ~ | 05:24 |
| macwolf74 | if it isn't you can make sure by clicking "Home" in the sidebar | 05:24 |
| vlad_starkov | Emergency Question: just changed disk in RAID1 in Ubuntu 12.04 Server. After that mdadm recovered new disk. After reboot the system does not load. Only blinking cursor appears. Is it possible that it needs to reconfigure GRUB? | 05:30 |

| caborca | No. I couldn't. I created a folder at home named .themes, i pasted there the theme, but then the folder dissapear | 05:37 |
| wilee-nilee | caborca, Hit ctrl-h in home to see that fle | 05:39 |
| yva | I tried adding it as a jabber account but it always shows up saying that the account requires authentification | 05:39 |
| caborca | ok, i found it thanks... then i opened unity tweak tool, but it doesn't show me the new themes | 05:40 |
| macwolf74 | caborca, the (.) at the beginning of folders makes them hidden | 05:40 |
| macwolf74 | sorry I didn't mention that | 05:40 |
| macwolf74 | caborca, Is it unzipped and the folder is in .themes? | 05:41 |
| caborca | i made a folder called .themes at home, then i unzipped the themes and pasted them | 05:42 |
| yva | maybe something I need t authorize on google side? I don't see empathy in the authorized applications | 05:44 |
| macwolf74 | caboose885, what is the name of the theme if you don't mind me asking | 05:45 |
| macwolf74 | caborca* | 05:45 |
| macwolf74 | sorry caboose | 05:45 |
| caborca | Hardy-Mariux 2.0 | 05:46 |
| macwolf74 | sorry caborca but it looks like that theme is too old for modern ubuntu | 05:51 |
| yva | nobody for an empathy + gapps issue? I tried adding it as a normal google account but no conacts show up | 05:51 |
| caborca | ok. thanks, i'll try with another | 05:51 |
| macwolf74 | to get a theme that should work make sure it says it's a GTK+ 3 theme or Ubuntu 11.10+ supported | 05:51 |
| caborca | Ok. I'm looking it | 05:52 |

| caborca | thanks, i think understood | 06:05 |
| wheatthin | Thete, I'm sure it is, when it's available | 06:05 |
| Thete | nightly builds are available | 06:06 |
| wheatthin | may I ask why a nightly build? | 06:06 |
| Thete | Cause I'm on haswell and I'm already running 3.10-rc7 linux kernel | 06:06 |
| wilee-nilee | Thete, THe 13.10 channel is #ubuntu+1 | 06:06 |

| asdfasdf | When it reboots in the middle of the process, instead of booting to ubuntu it boots to windows | 06:09 |
| asdfasdf | This is for when you want to dual-boot it | 06:10 |
| wheatthin | why would it reboot in the middle of the process? | 06:10 |
| asdfasdf | because I chose the dual-boot option | 06:10 |
| wheatthin | you mean after installing? | 06:10 |
| wheatthin | you might want to change which drive boots first in bios | 06:10 |
| wheatthin | then install | 06:10 |

| ObrienDave | aarcane*** you can use synaptic to fix broken packages. that might find the missing dependency | 06:14 |
| wilee-nilee | ObrienDave, On a live cd? | 06:14 |
| wheatthin | asdfasdf, I found out that in order to complete the install process, you have to uncheck download updates while installing | 06:15 |
| asdfasdf | OOOOOOH | 06:15 |
| asdfasdf | didn't try that | 06:15 |
| asdfasdf | thank you so much | 06:15 |
| anonnumberanon | really? | 06:16 |
| anonnumberanon | on what machine? | 06:16 |

| aarcane | ObrienDave, ubuntu desktop installs have a command that just lists a couple of packages you can install to provide a missing command. It's not included by default when you install a superminimal system from debootstrap. | 06:17 |
| wheatthin | wilee-nilee, be nice :) | 06:18 |

| wheatthin | ajmartin, what's the purpose of getting that exact kernel version? | 06:20 |
| ajmartin | wheatthin: I have to use it with debug kernel & systemtap. For that it is required | 06:21 |
| wheatthin | ajmartin, is it because you used a ppa to install those? | 06:22 |

| vlad_starkov | wheatthin: I never did manually it before. could you point me for the further steps? | 06:24 |
| anonnumberanon | vlad_starkov, get the grub install dvd and use that, it might be called grub fixer or somehting like that | 06:25 |

| asdf__ | It still asked me to eject, and after I did, it started to windows | 06:39 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, did you switch your first booting disk in bios? | 06:39 |
| asdf__ | I changed it from hard drive to CD, but that was when I selected the "download updates" oatpion | 06:40 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, ubuntu /boot disk should be the first one to load | 06:40 |
| asdf__ | ? | 06:40 |
| asdf__ | How do you do that? | 06:40 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, I assume you have two hard disks? | 06:40 |
| asdf__ | I did the automatic partitioning | 06:40 |
| asdf__ | so I don't know | 06:41 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, what does sudo fdisk -l show? | 06:41 |
| asdf__ | where do I enter the sudo code? | 06:42 |
| wheatthin | in terminal | 06:42 |

| cristian_c | I've installed qt4-qtconfig | 06:47 |
| wilee-nilee | asdf__, This windows 8 | 06:47 |
| cristian_c | If I open the tool and I edit the font settings, clicking on File->Save, this string appears in the statusbar: 'Saved changes.' | 06:47 |
| cristian_c | but if I close and reopen the tool, there are not the new settings anymore | 06:48 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, it looks like you need to change some partition system id's | 06:48 |
| cristian_c | How can I solve it? | 06:48 |
| wheatthin | before installing | 06:48 |
| cristian_c | Any ideas? | 06:48 |
| asdf__ | I have windows 7 | 06:49 |
| asdf__ | I also thought that, bu t I was selecting the automatic partioning | 06:49 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, well you can choose to use the free space, but you still need to change partition id's | 06:50 |
| asdf__ | oh IDs? | 06:50 |
| asdf__ | I've never read anything about changing IDs | 06:50 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, so the installer knows it's linux, and swap and whatever | 06:50 |
| wilee-nilee | asdf__, THe sfs in tha fdisk means that HD is dynamic, it probably wasn't and adding or trying to add a 5th parttion caused this, that is not good | 06:50 |
| asdf__ | :/ how do I fix it? | 06:51 |
| wilee-nilee | asdf__, I would ask on the ##wndows channel there are tools. | 06:51 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, since the partitioning is done, I'd go back in with livedvd/usb and sudo fdisk then follow a guide to changing the id's to what you need it | 06:51 |
| wilee-nilee | ##windows you have to be registered is all with freenode | 06:51 |
| wilee-nilee | wheatthin, Dud that disc is dynamic | 06:52 |

| wheatthin | wilee-nilee, what do you mean by dynamic? | 06:52 |
| Dr_willis | Holey Dynamic disks Batman! | 06:52 |
| wheatthin | hmm | 06:53 |
| wilee-nilee | wheatthin, It is a specialized partitioning that does not play with a dual boot of MS and linux and was caused probably by exceding the 4 primary partition limit or at least trying to. | 06:53 |
| asdf__ | Well thank you for the help | 06:54 |
| asdf__ | I appreciate it very much stranger | 06:54 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, I'd suggest reinstalling both windows and linux | 06:54 |
| anonnumberanon | asdf what is your problem right about now, and I assume you own a 2010 computer is that right? (300Gb drives + W7 is about 2008>2012) | 06:54 |
| wilee-nilee | lol Dr_willis | 06:54 |
| wheatthin | using none dynamic disk layout | 06:54 |
| asdf__ | Yeah I'll probably do that | 06:54 |
| asdf__ | Thank you again wheatthin | 06:55 |
| wheatthin | yup | 06:55 |
| asdf__ | so I should factory restore right? | 06:55 |
| wilee-nilee | asdf__, It can be converted with the right tools back to what it was. | 06:55 |
| wheatthin | no.. if you have the windows installation disk, then I'd use linux to partition, then go install windows, and then ubuntu | 06:55 |
| asdf__ | what do you mean by that | 06:56 |
| mdev | how do i let apache/php run as root wtih no pass | 06:56 |
| wheatthin | asdf__, well the restore disk might put the same layout | 06:56 |
| asdf__ | And what do you mean byt using linux to partition, then windows, and then ubuntu | 06:57 |
| asdf__ | Because I don't have any linux right now | 06:57 |

| wilee-nilee | Motz, Take a look at the link, thnkgs are a bit different with this setup. | 07:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Ubuntu wont fit in a cd, but a dvd or usb works | 07:31 |
| Motz | wilee-nilee, the installation file for 12.10 is 695 MB. It will fit in a cd, won't it? | 07:32 |
| anonnumberanon | usb prolly won't work (*0% failure rate) make a DVD Motz. | 07:32 |
| anonnumberanon | (80% failure) | 07:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Motz, If that size yeah. | 07:33 |
| Motz | ok | 07:33 |
| wilee-nilee | sounds like lubuntu that size, I thought ubuntu exceeded cd use | 07:33 |
| Tapper | wheatthin, hey how do I display all the files in a specific repository I guess? that link u sent me with the file lense alternative, when I go to download the file it says unable to locate package | 07:35 |
| wheatthin | Tapper, to find a specific package apt-cache search <packagename> | 07:35 |
| orman | what commands can give me usb device UUID? | 07:37 |
| anonnumberanon | Tapper get Synaptic Package Manager for Un=buntu Software Center, that will give you access to most of the thinbgs. | 07:38 |
| wheatthin | orman, is it already mounted? | 07:38 |
| orman | yes | 07:38 |
| wheatthin | orman, you can use mount to see the uuid of already mounted devices | 07:38 |
| gordonjcp | synaptic is obsolete, isn't it? | 07:38 |
| orman | thanks a lot | 07:38 |
| anonnumberanon | gordonjcp, compared to what ? | 07:38 |
| kxwabcirc | exit | 07:38 |
| kxwabcirc | quit | 07:39 |
| kxwabcirc | Quit | 07:39 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, compared to software-manager | 07:39 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: I thought it wasn't supported any more, which is why it's not installed by default | 07:39 |
| JaceP | hi guys. i disabled OpenGL through ccsm due to high cpu usage. my display is now pretty corrupt and i am unable to re-enable opengl to resolve the issue. suggestions? | 07:39 |
| JaceP | i can type through a terminal screen if i do it very carefully. the X desktop is overlaid and flashing over any terminal prompt. | 07:40 |
| wheatthin | JaceP, disable compiz | 07:40 |
| wilee-nilee | JaceP, What release? | 07:40 |
| JaceP | 12.10 | 07:40 |
| anonnumberanon | wheaties, the software manager doesn't let you see the "ropes", also it doesn't work sometimes, when Synaptic does. | 07:40 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, then using apt-get is the suggested alternative | 07:40 |
| islandmonkey | Can anyone help me with compiling wineasio? Keep getting an error: http://pastebin.com/xkNEjsND | 07:41 |
| anonnumberanon | gordonjcp, it is one that a lot of people use | 07:41 |
| wilee-nilee | JaceP, You can reset compiz. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html | 07:41 |
| JaceP | wilee-nilee: thank you, i'll try this | 07:41 |
| wilee-nilee | cool | 07:41 |
| wheatthin | islandmonkey, why compiling wine from source? | 07:42 |
| anonnumberanon | wheaties, yes but apt-get install is not very user-friendly, it does not have a nice search feature like Synaptic, it is a command line interface bash command after all. | 07:42 |
| wheatthin | wheatthin* | 07:42 |
| anonnumberanon | wheatthin, | 07:42 |
| anonnumberanon | sorry | 07:42 |
| islandmonkey | wheatthin: I'm not compiling wine from source, I'm compiling wineasio | 07:42 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, it'll show him the ropes.. | 07:42 |
| wheatthin | still not a supported package by ubuntu support | 07:43 |
| anonnumberanon | it might show him "some" of the ropes but it skips a few steps in understanding Linux and the packages, it skips the VISUAL step, which most people are, visual, if you can't see it, you can';t understand it. | 07:43 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, using the manpage explains it. | 07:44 |
| === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke | ||
| anonnumberanon | man is not featured as one of the first, main commands to use to learn Linux, it should be, but Ubuntu is not targeted at people who want to learn computer science and thus use man | 07:45 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, actually, it is. | 07:46 |
| anonnumberanon | I have never had a Ubuntu install tell me to start using man in orddcer to understand things, that's what I mean. | 07:46 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, what are man pages for then? | 07:47 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: that makes no sense | 07:47 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: anyone using Ubuntu either already knows about man pages, or doesn't care about man pages | 07:47 |
| JaceP | wilee-nilee: thank you that solved most of the issue. | 07:49 |
| anonnumberanon | when you install Ubuntu everything you do is made to be GUI-easy and you don't have to get into the workings of the packages to make them work. Having to read man pages is against that "new user" philosophy. If the marketing goal is to teach the user something, then more options for learning should be offered right off the bat. | 07:49 |
| wheatthin | anonnumberanon, if you aren't willing to read, then you aren't willing to learn about ubuntu/linux in general | 07:50 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: it's against the "experienced user" philosophy, too | 07:50 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: this is why Ubuntu is the distro of choice for very experienced Linux users | 07:50 |
| wilee-nilee | JaceP, Cool, no problem. | 07:50 |
| JaceP | wilee-nilee: so if i wanted to remove compiz completely due to it crashing nonstop, would i want to first install metacity? | 07:51 |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: if your hardware struggles with Compiz it will probably struggle with Unity-2D | 07:51 |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: consider using XFCE instead | 07:51 |
| handuel | anonnumberanon: but there is always need for manuals, unless everything was exactly the same as windows, a "new user" would always need to read a manual | 07:51 |
| wilee-nilee | JaceP, unity is a plugin in compiz, it is that desktop, you would be better exploring other desktops. | 07:51 |
| curatrix | xfce is my personal choice (been doing this since the mid 90s | 07:52 |
| anonnumberanon | but there is a problem though, Ubuntu makes the choice of being the introductory distro. It sure was untill 13.04, but then it broke, and 13.04 is an anti-noob at best. | 07:52 |
| nobuhdy | I tend to agree with anonnumberanon actually (sorry to butt in), man pages tend to be somewhat less "communicative", whenever possible I prefer info than man | 07:52 |
| anonnumberanon | By that I am talking about the updating problems | 07:52 |
| gordonjcp | frankly this discussion is better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:52 |
| wheatthin | ^ | 07:52 |
| wheatthin | :) | 07:53 |
| Infix | +1 | 07:53 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: do you have an actual Ubuntu support question, possibly about upgrading? | 07:53 |
| curatrix | anonnumberanon: I wouldn't go past LTS ..........Linux + The bleeding edge of tech = Heartbreak | 07:53 |
| curatrix | linux(like a fine wine) has always been better when it has aged a little | 07:54 |
| gordonjcp | curatrix: that's true of any OS | 07:54 |
| JaceP | i'll try switching to xfce. this is a headless node anyway that i might hook a display to once in a great while. don't care what the gui looks like. | 07:54 |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: what are you using it for? | 07:54 |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: if it's headless, just install Ubuntu Server and leave all that GUI stuff off | 07:54 |
| curatrix | gordonjcp: Yes and no .......Windows 8.1 is a good example | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: that way there's less to go wrong | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | curatrix: I've never used Windows | 07:55 |
| curatrix | gordonjcp: Then why claim that it is true of any OS? | 07:55 |
| anonnumberanon | curatrix, right , 13.04 is surely not for beginners, even if it is pushed onto the user from 12.04. | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | curatrix: well, I've played with XP a bit, but never really gone into it beyond "click icon, run program" | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | curatrix: because it is true of any OS | 07:55 |
| gordonjcp | there are more OSes out there than just Windows, you know | 07:56 |
| JaceP | i'm receiving spam from a user in this channel: noooooooo | 07:56 |
| anonnumberanon | gordon, no I don't have any questions about it right now, I am just here to compare the issues people are having with it to the issues I sometimes have/had with Debian. | 07:57 |
| * curatrix knows not to argue with a fool as they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience | 07:57 | |
| gordonjcp | JaceP: yeah, I got that too, just close the window and ignore it | 07:57 |
| handuel | The issue with unity is that there are loads of powerfull features like previews and the HUD, but nothing explaining that they exist | 07:57 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: in which case, you want to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic since it's not a support question | 07:57 |
| anonnumberanon | Well I'm not the one who brought it up. | 07:58 |
| gordonjcp | anonnumberanon: in which case, in the future you can help out by diverting future discussions of this nature to #ubuntu-offtopic ;-) | 08:00 |
| JaceP | i installed xfce4 and seem to be unable to switch the default session over to using it | 08:04 |
| handuel | JaceP does it show in the cog menu at the login screen? | 08:05 |
| JaceP | it auto logs in so i have no prompt at all | 08:05 |
| JaceP | i'm attempting to install xubuntu-desktop and see if that solves it | 08:06 |
| wheatthin | JaceP, it won't | 08:06 |
| anonnumberanon | gordonjcp, OK. | 08:08 |
| wheatthin | JaceP, you must go into system settings and user accounts | 08:08 |
| wheatthin | to disable autologin graphically | 08:08 |

| ss_haze | does buying left for dead 2 or portal on steam, when it hasn't got linux icon is safe? | 08:33 |
| Dr_willis | ss_haze, I would think it would mean it dosent run on linux.. but buying it should be safe. ;) | 08:34 |
| ss_haze | it's kinda confusing when they don't write linux in description | 08:35 |
| Dr_willis | I thought every linux game had that linux Logo icon on the store page. | 08:35 |
| ss_haze | well, you can read that they released Portal, left for dead 2 etc, but in client, they are still windows or mac games only | 08:36 |
| Dr_willis | or does steam on linux showit as a native linux game? im on windows steam looking right now. | 08:36 |
| ss_haze | maybe if I buy them, I can download linux versions anyway | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | could be they are still in testing. | 08:37 |
| kostkon | i think these two games are still in beta that's why | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | makes sence to me. | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Valve-Is-Telling-Linux-Steam-Users-to-Play-More-Left-4-Dead-2-353992.shtml | 08:37 |
| Dr_willis | “Right now the Beta is the only place you can play L4D2 on Linux natively. If you run Linux, load it up and give it a try,” reads the announcement from Valve. | 08:38 |
| ss_haze | I will be waiting for official release probably, but Valve really can't win the market with the games they have now on linux | 08:39 |
| ss_haze | atleast thats my thoughts | 08:39 |
| Dr_willis | there is no winning.. there is just more games.. that become old games.. then moar games... | 08:43 |
| Dr_willis | I got left4dead 2 here on steam (brother must have bought it) and never even played it. ;P | 08:44 |
| Dr_willis | really dont like those survival fps games. | 08:44 |
| ss_haze | winning or not, there is like a hundred type of games linux doesn't yet have | 08:46 |
| ss_haze | I don't think it's weakness, but could be great to see some racing etc games | 08:46 |
| Powermaniac | Hi | 08:46 |
| * Dr_willis would be hard pressed to name a list of '100 types' of games.. but then again if i only play like 4 types.. it dosent matter. | 08:47 | |
| Dr_willis | Hello Powermaniac | 08:47 |
| Powermaniac | Okay well I have a problem, that is I installed Xubuntu, it seemed to work, I discovered I overwrote a heap of files but I think I saved them with photorec, but now it won't let me get into xubuntu I just get a black screen after the xubuntu splash screen and a prompt | 08:48 |
| Powermaniac | Anyway to get into Xubuntu from the prompt screen? | 08:48 |
| Dr_willis | You overwrote them how exactly? | 08:48 |
| Dr_willis | what prompt do you mean? grub: or LOGIN: ? | 08:49 |
| Powermaniac | There was a freespace partition that was actually the Windows 7 Starter partition with a whole bunch of files on it... | 08:49 |
| Powermaniac | And I put Ubuntu on it first then Xubuntu as Ubuntu was too slow on this netbook | 08:49 |
| === Baribal_ is now known as Baribal | ||
| Powermaniac | That isn't very powerful | 08:50 |
| Powermaniac | The prompt is just a black screen where the login screen would normally appear | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | so your xubuntu install overwrote the windows 'boot/recovery' partition? | 08:50 |
| Dr_willis | or the actual windows 7 partition? | 08:50 |
| Powermaniac | The actual Windows 7 partition | 08:50 |
| Powermaniac | The boot/recovery partition is still there | 08:50 |
| Powermaniac | LAst I checked | 08:50 |
| ss_haze | promt is like command line | 08:51 |
| ss_haze | ? | 08:51 |
| Dr_willis | !shell | 08:51 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:51 |
| Powermaniac | Well it is just a black screen with a flashing underscore | 08:51 |
| ss_haze | startxfce4 would start desktop environment | 08:52 |
| Dr_willis | Powermaniac, what did you use photorec to recover? it shouldent have affected your linux system | 08:52 |
| Powermaniac | It was meant to just recover family photos | 08:52 |
| Powermaniac | But instead it recovered the entire partition | 08:52 |
| Dr_willis | im suprised it was able to recover anything. | 08:52 |
| Powermaniac | And now I also have this weird error in the Xubuntu recovery mode that says the 281GB partition is completely full | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | Use a live cd, to see whats left on the system. and you might need to reinstall. it could be photorec recoverd the windows files onto the linux partition. (not sure how it would do that) | 08:53 |
| Powermaniac | Not sure how that is possible as there wasn't 281GB worth of files on there | 08:53 |
| Dr_willis | but a live cd would be the best route. to let you see exactly whats going on - on the HD. | 08:53 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac I had that too, in a terminal, type df -h does it say "100%" ? if yes, emtyp Trash | 08:54 |
| Powermaniac | I will have to use a live usb no cd drive | 08:54 |
| Dr_willis | cd/dvd osent matter. | 08:54 |
| Powermaniac | New problem | 08:54 |
| === nobuhdy_ is now known as nobuhdy | ||
| Powermaniac | After testing the windows recovery mode to see what happens just opened it and left it didn't start anything | 08:55 |
| Powermaniac | Now I rebooted | 08:55 |
| Powermaniac | All I get now is a black screen after the bios splash and this text "error: unknown filesystem." "grub rescur> _" | 08:55 |
| Powermaniac | grub rescue* | 08:55 |
| Powermaniac | Oh and thanks for the help guys | 08:56 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac I wonder what you actually *do* with your machine to make it so troublesome | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | use a live usb, check the system. sounds like the sysetm is totally goofed up. | 08:56 |
| Powermaniac | Dr_willis will do | 08:57 |
| nobuhdy | MonkeyDust: if his nickname can give a hint :) | 08:57 |
| Powermaniac | MonkeyDust, It's a long story as to what happen, it's my parents laptop and they were whining about it being slow | 08:57 |
| Dr_willis | hmm.. someone want to check http://www.hulu.com/watch/502318 for me to see if the actual video works? the comercials seem to work. but the video seems garbled.. (trying a differnt browser now) | 08:58 |
| Dr_willis | weird.. Chrome Worked.. FF dident.. | 08:58 |

| === nobuhdy_ is now known as nobuhdy | ||
| Powermaniac | Okay new question | 09:03 |
| Powermaniac | I have managed to get in with a liveUSB | 09:03 |
| Powermaniac | Now it says the HDD is completely full | 09:04 |
| Powermaniac | Could that be causing the problem? | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | possible.. 100% full - would be.. weird | 09:04 |
| nobuhdy | unless there are bad sectors | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | but i bet its just one sign of deeper issues | 09:04 |
| nobuhdy | check your hard drive condition | 09:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac that's what I just said | 09:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac it's most probably your Trash | 09:05 |
| Powermaniac | Okay, so on that note, do you know of a way to grab all image type files off the HDD that I've recovered and stick them onto a usb? | 09:05 |
| Dr_willis | the 'find' command can scan and do stuff to all files of a speccif type/pattern | 09:05 |
| nobuhdy | Powermaniac is your usb live persistent? | 09:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac type rm -r [drive]home/user/.local/share/Trash | 09:06 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac type rm -r [drive]/home/user/.local/share/Trash | 09:06 |
| Powermaniac | nobuhdy, persistent? | 09:06 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| Powermaniac | MonkeyDust, thanks | 09:06 |
| Powermaniac | Okay | 09:22 |
| Powermaniac | So | 09:22 |
| Powermaniac | Now to find the files | 09:22 |
| Powermaniac | As I need to do this eventually anyway | 09:22 |
| Powermaniac | Now I think find /dev/sda3/. -name ".jpg" -o ".png" | xargs -0 mv ~/Desktop/USB might do it? | 09:23 |
| Dr_willis | you use find on the devices MOUNTPOINT not the /dev/DEVICENAME | 09:23 |
| Powermaniac | So in this case | 09:24 |
| Dr_willis | also its a good idea to test find commands with 'echo' instead of actually doing the move/copy/deletion | 09:24 |
| Powermaniac | "/media/xubuntu/8b5ec757-0f45-42b0-bd0a-210feb766581"... | 09:25 |
| Dr_willis | if thats the MOUNTPOINT. yes. | 09:26 |
| Powermaniac | How do I check that, that is the Mountpoint? | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | or cd into the mountpoint, then use a shorter command. since you an use relative paths | 09:26 |
| Powermaniac | And yes I'm new to linux in general | 09:26 |
| Dr_willis | cd to it and look? | 09:26 |
| Powermaniac | Okay so cd allowed me into it | 09:28 |
| Powermaniac | So now I can write find .-name ".jpg" -o ".png" | xargs -0 mv /media/xubuntu/USB | 09:29 |
| Powermaniac | Just making sure as I don't want to screw this up further | 09:29 |
| Dr_willis | somthing like that.. id test with echo first. | 09:29 |
| Powermaniac | Where do I add echo? | 09:29 |
| Powermaniac | just to the front? | 09:29 |
| Dr_willis | and i think find has a sysntax where it dosent need to get piped to xargs | 09:29 |
| Powermaniac | Oh okay | 09:30 |
| Dr_willis | http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/03/10-find-command-in-unix-examples-basic.html | 09:30 |
| Powermaniac | Thanks will read over that | 09:31 |
| Dr_willis | find . -size +1000c -exec ls -l {} \; | 09:31 |
| Dr_willis | 09:31 | |
| Dr_willis | -exec runs the command for each found item | 09:31 |
| === logan is now known as Guest6017 | ||
| Dr_willis | in that example it just shows the file details | 09:31 |
| Dr_willis | filenames with SPACES in them can also be very problematic | 09:32 |
| Powermaniac | Hmm | 09:32 |
| Powermaniac | I thought if you search for the extension it would ignore the names? | 09:32 |
| Dr_willis | id just find the files by hand and use a file manager.. assuming you got them all in some common directory | 09:32 |
| Dr_willis | extensions dont really mean anything in linux | 09:32 |
| Powermaniac | No that's the problem | 09:32 |

| Dr_willis | i setup my mom with a cloud storage drive - told her to use that. ;) | 09:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac i mean: the photorec recovered files | 09:35 |
| Powermaniac | MonkeyDust, they were all sent to the desktop | 09:36 |
| Powermaniac | MonkeyDust, When it got over 20 folders I started to get worried | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Powermaniac should have stored them on an external disk | 09:36 |
| Dr_willis | are you sure any of the files are good? | 09:36 |
| Powermaniac | Dr_willis, yeah tried to convince my parents of using the cloud but my step-dad doesn't like the idea of them being on the internet | 09:37 |

| Powermaniac | Dr_willis, I was going through some of the folders as I discovered you could according to the site while the program was running and there were intact photos in there | 09:37 |
| === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 | ||
| Dr_willis | if theres 1000 copies of each file.. may be best to just start going though by hand and see what you got. | 09:38 |
| Dr_willis | start filtering out whats not worth keeping. | 09:38 |
| Powermaniac | Dr_willis, well he is of the opinion to just wipe them all as they do have the majority of them on another laptop | 09:39 |
| Powermaniac | Dr_willis, So yeah...I want to save them if I can though | 09:39 |
| Powermaniac | Dr_willis, just have this feeling something might get deleted that was of importance | 09:40 |

| ActionParsnip | mith_: the arch of anything is not a factor right now | 12:36 |
| Spec-Chum | hmm, why can't I do sudo apt-get purge phonon-backend-gstreamer without apt telling me to autoclean to remove most of linux? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: what are you having issue with? | 12:37 |
| mith_ | hey i more doubt | 12:37 |
| Spec-Chum | it's a huge list it want to take off, all alsa and linux sound, and networking :O | 12:37 |
| mith_ | how to add drivers for my webcam | 12:37 |
| mic1980 | b ut as i asked will it still dual boot with me setting partition for separate drive | 12:37 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Yeah it will figure out that the MBR is on the other drive and update it | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: depends on the webcam. there is no single answer to that question in ANY OS. Think about it | 12:38 |
| mith_ | my issue is how to enable my pendrive | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: the fact you have 2 drives is irrelevant. The dual boot will be managed | 12:38 |
| mith_ | my sir has given a task | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: do you have unetbootin installed? | 12:39 |
| mic1980 | k thank you. | 12:39 |
| mith_ | he has told me to download a source code for my webcam and install it | 12:39 |
| banaan | File access rights question, trying to sync data from pc to networkdrive: Somehow unison is able to create (hidden) files on my synology, but unable to access them: sync ends with access denied error. What do I do wrong here? | 12:39 |
| mith_ | can u help me in commands | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: the newer version may just support your device | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | mith_, you MIGHT want to, you know, install ubuntu and THEN do the whole webcam question. Odds are it's supported by default. | 12:40 |
| mith_ | whaT IS unetbootin | 12:40 |
| === jinie_ is now known as jinie | ||
| cfhowlett | !unetbootin | 12:40 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:40 |
| dina_ | salut | 12:40 |
| mith_ | where i will get | 12:40 |
| barfod | mith are you on windows right now then? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: again. there is no single group of commands to fix your webcam. You havent even given us a make and model of the device. Think about it.....just a little | 12:40 |
| cfhowlett | mith_, ubnetbootin is the software that will let you create a bootable usb form your ubuntu ISO | 12:40 |
| mic1980 | now im still on the webpage for disk space and top of the page suggests simply use as mbr even though the drives may be gpt matters not to me, this is more for learning purposes and getting used to linux for first time but use as mbr, advise of swap file then rest of disk, do you suggest this as my partition table | 12:40 |
| curatrix | mith_: install cheese (if you haven't already) it can kick start the cam into life | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: could be tricky in karmic | 12:41 |
| mith_ | after downloading cheese what command should i use to install | 12:41 |
| cfhowlett | mith_, dude. your software is end of life. install the supported version otherwise you can't rely on installing ANYTHING with any degree of confidence that it'll actually work. | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: you dont manually download cheese, it uses software centre etc but there are no sources for karmic as it is not supported anymore | 12:42 |
| curatrix | mith_: I dont know about karmic.............it is normally in the repo eg apt-get install cheese | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | mith_ first upgrade your ubuntu, then try again | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: karmic, ubuntu 9.10 | 12:42 |
| curatrix | ActionParsnip: Yes | 12:43 |
| curatrix | Karmic Koala | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: guess how supported karmic is | 12:43 |
| curatrix | it isnt is it? | 12:43 |
| MonkeyDust | mith_ i'm sure your technical problems will be solved after you upgraded ubuntu | 12:43 |
| mith_ | hey how to install .tar.gz files | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: exactly | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: so will: apt-get install cheese ,work? | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | mith_, again, unsupported platform = unsupported performance. | 12:44 |
| curatrix | ActionParsnip: As you may have missed <curatrix> mith_: I dont know about karmic.............it is normally in the repo eg apt-get install cheese | 12:44 |
| mith_ | sudo aptitude install build-essential libsdl1.2-dev any explain this command | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: do a clean install of Precise dude. it is LTS and supported til April 2017 | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: that will also fail, there are no packages for karmic. It is dead. It is not supported | 12:45 |
| MonkeyDust | mith_ likes attention, s/he won't get that after the problems are solved | 12:45 |
| * cfhowlett ... was beginning to suspect something along those lines ... | 12:46 | |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: i dont see why you cant understand this, there are zero packages and zero community support for the release you are using | 12:46 |
| mith_ | hey what is wget command | 12:46 |
| mith_ | i got u dude | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: its a terminal based download command | 12:47 |
| mith_ | i am asking abt coomands | 12:47 |
| curatrix | ActionParsnip: If you were as 1337 as you seem to think, you would know that Karmic is a debian base and could still use an updated repo | 12:47 |
| MonkeyDust | OR mith_ is a bot that generates comments, based on what's being said | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | mith_, out. do your own googling | 12:47 |
| mith_ | whats out. | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: karmic is not supported here and the official repos are diabled. there are no karmic repos | 12:47 |
| kostkon_ | mith_: we can help you install 12.04 if you want | 12:48 |
| mith_ | i am downloadin 13.04 its on the way | 12:48 |
| curatrix | ActionParsnip: I'm not going to argue with you in this case because I agree that an update would be the most beneficial......But the fact remains the repo can be updated with a tweak | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: id use precise. Raring is EOL in January next year | 12:48 |
| kostkon_ | mith_: be aware that 13.04 will be suportwd for only 9 months | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: what? change the sources.list to a later release and update? | 12:49 |
| mith_ | but i wanot to know how to install application | 12:50 |
| curatrix | That is one way....or you could plug straight into the debian repo and do basically the same | 12:50 |
| curatrix | The structure is - basically - the same | 12:50 |
| compdoc | 13.04 is a decent OS, tho | 12:50 |
| kostkon_ | mith_: install 13.04 and then come back here again to ask | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: neither of those methods are advised or supported | 12:50 |
| * curatrix chuckles | 12:51 | |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: once you install the newer release, use software centre to install applucations | 12:51 |
| mith_ | hey k dude tell about how to install driver from website with source code please help me i hav interview | 12:51 |
| * cfhowlett ... trolling confirmed | 12:52 | |
| mith_ | but sir is telling to install using source code | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mith_: not in karmic | 12:52 |
| mith_ | kkk dude i will install i am telling u right | 12:52 |
| MonkeyDust | mith_ what you want cannot be done | 12:52 |
| mith_ | why | 12:52 |
| curatrix | Yeah Why? | 12:53 |
| MonkeyDust | mith_ stop asking questions, upgrade, then come back for support | 12:53 |
| * curatrix wonders when linux became a dictatorship | 12:53 | |
| ActionParsnip | becuause the community doesnt support karmic, it is eol | 12:53 |
| WILLdude | To get rid of Ubuntu, can I just delete the partitions? | 12:53 |
| WILLdude | *and grub | 12:53 |
| cfhowlett | !remove|WILLdude, | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: same in any OS. if its eol the support goes too. its always been that way | 12:54 |
| mith_ | not helpfull man | 12:54 |
| mith_ | k teell how to uninstall karmic | 12:54 |
| curatrix | ActionParsnip: How does that stop a user from compiling from source? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | willdude: yes, you will need to replace the boot in the mbr | 12:54 |
| MonkeyDust | !eolupgrades | mith_ | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: because it is under karmic and karmic is eol | 12:54 |
| ubottu | mith_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: its that simple | 12:55 |
| * curatrix chuckles some more | 12:55 | |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: compiling under supported releases, we can support | 12:55 |
| kai_ | hi | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | kai_, greetings | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: easy stuff dude. | 12:56 |
| hu | \servlist | 12:56 |
| curatrix | Re compiling from source <MonkeyDust> mith_ what you want cannot be done <- It can be done fine. Just because the OS is obsolete does not mean that it will no longer function. I set up debian web servers in the late 90's that are still runnning to this day (without fault too I might add) | 12:58 |
| MonkeyDust | curatrix if you think you can help him, do so in a private channel, not here | 12:58 |
| WILLdude | ActionParsnip: How do I replace the boot in the mbr? | 12:59 |
| mic1980 | k im stuck, being novice sucks. regardless, i chose other for my partition scheme and screens shows sda and sda1 with ntfs further shows sdb nothing beside it. i highlight and double click sdb and it creates sdb and sdb freespace | 12:59 |
| kai_ | curatrix Thats why I'am choosing Debian to setup my home server lolz | 12:59 |
| kai_ | :) | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | WILLdude, new mbr gets written upon installing new ubuntu ... | 12:59 |
| mic1980 | then i click on sdb free space new screen opens | 12:59 |
| curatrix | Dude, this is linux ....anything is possible....you dont have to be a douche to people who are doing something that you yourself may not wish to attempt | 12:59 |
| WILLdude | cfhowlett: I don't want to reinstall. | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | curatrix karmic is not supported in this channel, read the topic | 13:00 |
| kai_ | WILLdude: what's wrong? | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | curatrix, don't address ppl as dude please , use their proper nicks | 13:00 |
| Ben64 | curatrix: whats the point in an eol release? no fixed bugs, no security patches. and its not supported by Ubuntu, or #ubuntu ... stop bringing it up. this channel is for supported releases only, and they're mentioned in the topic | 13:01 |
| WILLdude | Just decided I don't really like it that much. | 13:01 |
| kai_ | So what if someone's using a old release, Who really cares? | 13:01 |
| mic1980 | i have options to set which file system i want and option to set root directory but nothing for swap file | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | willdude: use the cd from your other OS. Try in ##windows etc | 13:02 |
| Ben64 | kai_: they can do what they want, but they can't come here and get support | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kai_: if its supported then its suported. Age is fairly irrelevant. Some releases are LTS so supported a long while | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: its channel policy. | 13:03 |
| mic1980 | my hope here is to make some good choices lol | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: whats funny? | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip lol is punctuation for some ppl , they can't end a sentence without it :) | 13:07 |
| mic1980 | just so many options with linux, any number of choices might be bad choices | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | blueskaj: sadly true | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: the installer will set things up for you. just take the defaults. they are there to accommodate those with limited techy abilities | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: is the system a dual boot? | 13:09 |
| mic1980 | yes but i dont wish to take defaults, i wish to learn and i wish to understand. the point of using linux is to learn the very basics first. | 13:09 |
| === karel is now known as Guest90911 | ||
| cfhowlett | mic1980, well hell then, do it right. search "linux from scratch" OR ... | 13:10 |
| cfhowlett | !mini|mic1980, | 13:10 |
| ubottu | mic1980,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:10 |
| mic1980 | as i mentioned earlier, i have two drives one with xp and the other has been low leveled | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: then delete the current ubuntu partitions and then use the free space. be sure you have backed up the data you need | 13:11 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Here is a good starter ( stick it on your desktop for a few weeks) http://lotphelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/filesystemhierarchyhb8.jpg | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: WinXP has less than 300 days support left | 13:11 |
| nooros | hello. I have ubuntu 13.04. Streaming does not work on uk channel 4 website '4od' giving a digita rights error in firefox and no content in chrome. I have googled and some people say to install the 'hal' package, which i have done and rebooted, but it does change anythiing. (I am in the UK) | 13:12 |
| mic1980 | ive been reading extensively folks but its convaluted and some is very helpful other parts is retraining my brain to understand both acronyms and other terms | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: not really, how much RAM does the system have? | 13:13 |
| mic1980 | im not a techie but i can move around windows pretty good, and have an average to above average understanding | 13:13 |
| mic1980 | i think 2 gb | 13:13 |
| letkume | How do i make ubuntu boot into kde ? i have kdm in the settings "# cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager" --> "/usr/bin/kdm" | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: the you want 2 partitions, 2.2Gb for swap and the rest Ext4 as / | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: how is that convoluted? | 13:14 |
| mic1980 | thats what i figured however, ive been unable to find a screen allowing to set swap file | 13:15 |
| darkapp | hey i was wondering if anyone knows any good games in the repository? | 13:15 |
| mic1980 | and personal instruction is not convoluted, the reading material is extensive and as many have said in the forums, its a whole new animal | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | !steam | darkapp | 13:16 |
| ubottu | darkapp: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: its in the "something else" option at install time | 13:16 |
| nooros | darkapp: What kind of game? | 13:16 |
| darkapp | idk, first person shooters are good | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: urban terror is great. Add the playdeb repo | 13:16 |
| darkapp | BluesKaj: is that finished yet? | 13:17 |
| mic1980 | im at that screen now, but shows nothing for swap file, or ive not been able to locate it | 13:17 |
| darkapp | so apt-get install paydeb? | 13:17 |
| nooros | darkapp: most windows FPS shooters work using wine, also most of the older ID/Unreal ones have linux ports: you'd install those directly though, not from the repo | 13:17 |
| Znoosey | apt-get install supertux | 13:17 |
| nooros | darkapp: There is a linux client for steam as well, and TF2 is ported natively | 13:17 |
| Znoosey | ! | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | darkapp, dunno , but it's worth checking out , some gamers are very happy about it. | 13:17 |
| mic1980 | brb | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: try researching rather than trying to guess | 13:19 |
| mic1980 | k im back | 13:19 |
| darkapp | ya, just wanted to hear some suggestions | 13:19 |
| nooros | Is anyone here able to view 4OD content in the UK on Ubuntu? I *know* it works on gnu-linux as my chromebook does it, but I can't figure out ubuntu. | 13:20 |
| === eperalta is now known as Crackerjack | ||
| mic1980 | so where in the choice of other do i find where to set swap file | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install urbanteror | 13:21 |
| darkapp | terror? | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: the links on the playdeb site will also work | 13:21 |
| darkapp | ok sounds good | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: yes, you get the idea | 13:22 |
| darkapp | i said save file with the link | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: guess where I get all this stuff from..... | 13:22 |
| mic1980 | incidentially, when i choose the default to allow dual boot alongside of xp, then next window showsthe ntfs drive to resize but does not shows option to load on low level drive | 13:22 |
| darkapp | not sure if it neds installation | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | darkapp: the deb adds the ppa | 13:22 |
| darkapp | not working :( | 13:22 |
| darkapp | whats the ppa command maybe? | 13:23 |
| nooros | mic1980: what does "load on low level drive" mean. WHy would you do that anyway? Are you talking about the bootloader? | 13:23 |
| curatrix | darkapp: It is just as easy to download the lot from the urbanterror.info site .....It will run from the users home directory | 13:23 |
| nooros | mic1980: All you need to do is resize your XP partition, create an ubuntu partion, and optionally a swap partition, then follow the installer 'wizard' | 13:24 |
| mic1980 | let me describe what my end goal is. | 13:24 |
| armin | any hint how to fix "debconf: falling back to frontend: Noninteractive"? | 13:24 |
| nooros | mic1980: that would be a good idea! | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | curatrix: the ppa allows easier upgrading as the new version will be pulled in when the ppa is updated :-) | 13:25 |
| simon__ | Hello everyone | 13:25 |
| mic1980 | i want to set a completely separate physical hard drive strickly for xp, the second physical hard drive i want ubuntu on it, but i want to have dual boot | 13:25 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest60082 | ||
| Sach | Trying t configure controls in Transcribe to play and stop. How do I do this? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mic1980: once you install to the other drive the dual boot will be handled for you | 13:26 |
| mic1980 | understood | 13:26 |
| mic1980 | what if i remove physically drive one, and just simply install ubuntu on drive two then after completion physically hook up both drives, will dual boot still work | 13:27 |
| curatrix | no | 13:28 |
| stef1a | Using 13.04 and an AMD / ATI HD Radeon gfx card with fglrx and Unity installed. Everything works fine, but with an external monitor, I cannot set my virtual monitor's size to encapsulate both screens -- it says the maximum screen size is set lower than the size I want to set. How do I fix this? | 13:28 |
| mic1980 | curatrix was no meant for me | 13:29 |
| armin | did anyone manage to enable the artwiz fonts on ubuntu 13.04? | 13:29 |
| curatrix | mic1980: It will write the MBR on the connected drive (ok if you want to select the OS from the BIOS) | 13:29 |
| eowyn113 | hi. I'm running xubuntu 12.04 LTS and my mouse doesn't work, the light is off | 13:29 |
| nooros | mic1980: I could get ubuntu and win7 or winNT (haha) working in that situation but I do not how XP does it | 13:29 |
| eowyn113 | mouse connected with usb, desktop | 13:29 |
| cfhowlett | eowyn113, mouses (mice) wear out. frequently. also, if battery operated ... | 13:29 |
| eowyn113 | works very well with windows (dual boot) | 13:29 |
| cfhowlett | eowyn113, bluetooth or usb? | 13:30 |
| eowyn113 | usb and without batteries | 13:30 |
| mic1980 | well i suppose i could try it, but ideally what i wanted to do was to lay ubuntu on the second drive with xp on the first drive | 13:30 |
| curatrix | mic1980: There should be a way to select the physical drive ......If the win drive is sd0 then the empty drive would be sd1 | 13:30 |
| ChaosTheory | Where are the logs of a kernel panic? | 13:31 |
| nooros | mic that is easy assumign each OS has a separate physical drive | 13:31 |
| nooros | mic1980: Howeever you have stated you want ubuntu and win XP both on the 2nd drive | 13:31 |
| curatrix | ChaosTheory: /var/log/syslog | 13:31 |
| mic1980 | yes when i get to the install screen i choose other type of partition and next screen shows sda and sda1 with ntfs and second drive shows as sdb | 13:32 |
| mic1980 | but im stuck at that point as i double click sdb and it gives me options but no option for swap file | 13:32 |
| nooros | mic1980: if you are happy with winxp only on drive 1, ubuntu only on drive 2, and dual boot, then just install win, then ubuntu, and it will work. If you want winXP on both drives, i dont know XP, i could do it with win7 though | 13:32 |
| mic1980 | no no, i want xp on physical drive 1 and ubuntu on physical drive 2 with dual boot | 13:33 |
| === jinie is now known as jinie_ | ||
| ChaosTheory | curatrix, cheers | 13:33 |
| nooros | mic1980: Well that is easy, install winXP on drive 1, install Ubuntu on drive 2, and ubuntu wil set up dual boot | 13:33 |
| curatrix | mic1980: You should be able to partition the second drive AKA sdb without touching the xp drive | 13:34 |
| nooros | mic1980: Just make sure you install windows FIRST | 13:34 |
| mic1980 | cool thats what i was looking for hehehe. so bascially ill have to disconnect drive one and install ubuntu on drive two then rehook both drives at end | 13:34 |
| nooros | mic1980: NO | 13:34 |
| === cfhowlett is now known as I | ||
| mic1980 | hehehe | 13:34 |
| curatrix | mic1980: NO | 13:34 |
| mic1980 | sorry am novice | 13:34 |
| nooros | mic1980: Connect both drives. Istall XP on one drive. Reboot. Instlal ubuntu on 2nd drive. It's done | 13:35 |
| === I is now known as cfhowlett | ||
| mic1980 | k ive tried that, here is my plight. | 13:35 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Both drives will have to be connected during the ubuntu install or it will install another MBR on the second drive | 13:35 |
| mic1980 | thats what i thought | 13:35 |
| mic1980 | in theory | 13:35 |
| djono | hello is there a program that can flash me external dvd drive? | 13:36 |
| mic1980 | look here is what happens on the system | 13:36 |
| mic1980 | ill describe in detail | 13:36 |
| mic1980 | both drives are physciallys setup | 13:36 |
| OerHeks | mic1980, are these Sata drives ? | 13:36 |
| mic1980 | i use the ubuntu cd for 12.04 | 13:36 |
| mic1980 | both are sata identical drives 80 gb | 13:37 |
| nooros | is windows already installed? | 13:37 |
| mic1980 | xp is installed already on drive one only | 13:37 |
| OerHeks | xp does not run in AHCI mode, and needs IDE mode to work | 13:37 |
| mic1980 | drive two has been low level formatted nothing more | 13:37 |
| mic1980 | both are connected to the system | 13:38 |
| parallels | hello all | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | parallels, greetings | 13:38 |
| mic1980 | now when the install screen appears the first default is install ubuntu alongside of xp | 13:38 |
| nooros | how did you install XP on sata in the first place? | 13:38 |
| djono | hello is there a program that can flash me external dvd drive? | 13:39 |
| mic1980 | if i choose yes, then next screen asks to resize the partition but only shows the active partition for xp therefore only shows 80 and of course default is 40 gb for xp and 40 gb for ubuntu | 13:39 |
| eowyn113 | someone for my mouse problem ? syslog told me "generic-usb 0003:192F:0916.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [USB Optical Mouse] on usb-0000:00:02.0-4/input0" | 13:40 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Use the do something else option | 13:40 |
| mic1980 | my problem with default is does not see the unpartitioned 2nd physical drive to format and lay ubuntu on | 13:40 |
| mic1980 | did that too | 13:40 |
| mic1980 | hehehe | 13:40 |
| mic1980 | when i choose the other option, i then get screen showing drives, no problem | 13:40 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Does the BIOS detect the drive? | 13:41 |
| curatrix | mic1980: eg Does it show up during POST | 13:41 |
| curatrix | ? | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | sata is just the type of connection , one can still format the drive to ntfs | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | nooros,^ | 13:41 |
| mic1980 | shows sda and sda1 ntfs which of course has xp on it and also shows second physical drive as full 80 gb not formatted | 13:41 |
| mic1980 | so we are good to go there, no problem | 13:42 |
| nooros | BluesKaj: If this was about XP on sata, have you tried to install it? ;-) | 13:42 |
| mic1980 | but when i choose the unformatted second physical drive and double click new options are available and i get stuck | 13:42 |
| curatrix | mic1980: In the 'do something else' option, there should be a way to switch the active drive from sda1 to sdb | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | nooros, have you ? | 13:42 |
| OerHeks | BluesKaj, but the Sata drive in IDE mode for XP,could bring up these problems installing ubuntu | 13:43 |
| nooros | BluesKaj: Yes, it needs you to load a sata driver during install, unless they fixed that in a service pack | 13:43 |
| mic1980 | if you double click sdb it shows new screen to format etc, but i am stuck there | 13:43 |
| djono | hello is there a program that can flash me external dvd drive? | 13:43 |
| mic1980 | ill tell you why im stuck | 13:43 |
| nooros | mic1980: why stuck? do not know which format to pick? | 13:43 |
| mic1980 | going to tell you now | 13:44 |
| embassyguy | hey wats app | 13:44 |
| embassyguy | :D | 13:44 |
| cfhowlett | embassyguy, greetings | 13:44 |
| mic1980 | the options ive figured out but there has to be a swap file in place and i dont see option for swap file anywhere, they recommend using size of ram to set swapfile, i can format, i can choose file system etc, but no swap file | 13:44 |
| embassyguy | greetings cfhowleft | 13:45 |
| curatrix | mic1980: OKay, you need to create a swap partition (as a rule I generally make the swap partition to be 2Gb larger than the amount of RAM you have | 13:46 |
| curatrix | mic1980: For example if you have 8Gb of RAM, then make the swap partition to be 10Gb | 13:46 |
| nooros | mic1980 curatrix Well he doesn't *need* a swap partition, it can swap to a file, but yea it helps | 13:46 |
| mic1980 | this i know thankyou, but i dont know where to set swap file there is no option anywhere that i can find in the install | 13:46 |
| mic1980 | yes ive read all about the size etc. but i cannot find option for swap file | 13:47 |
| nooros | mic1980: I dont remember what they call it in the current installer, but it is there. It's probably "other"? SOmeone here will know. But you do not need a swap partition | 13:48 |
| mic1980 | i understand what your telling me. but i have 2 gb ram that i can use as a pagefile so to speak and it will help with speed etc | 13:48 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Make the primary partition for Ubuntu to be 70Gb and set the filesystem to be ext4 .....then create another partition and set the filesystem type to swap | 13:48 |
| stef1a | Using 13.04 and an AMD / ATI HD Radeon gfx card with fglrx and Unity installed. Everything works fine, but with an external monitor, I cannot set my virtual monitor's size to encapsulate both screens -- it says the maximum screen size is set lower than the size I want to set. How do I fix this? | 13:48 |
| mic1980 | k im going to try that now, ill be back in a second | 13:49 |
| curatrix | mic1980: Break a leg ;) | 13:49 |
| nooros | mic1980: forget what you know abotu windows and pagefiles. linux works differently. but sure, create a swap partition if you want to, it will help | 13:50 |
| jpgrms | anyone wants help? | 13:50 |
| nooros | jpgrms: I have ubuntu 13.04. Streaming does not work on UK channel 4 website '4od' giving a "Digital Rights Error" in Firefox and no content in Chrome. I have googled and some people say to install the 'hal' package, which I have done and rebooted, but it does change anythiing. (I am in the UK). | 13:51 |
| nooros | If anyone else can solve that too, please! :-) | 13:51 |
| reisio | nooros: not likely anything to do with hal, at any rate | 13:51 |
| jpgrms | @nooros sorry not with that particular prob.. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | nooros: http://askubuntu.com/questions/199113/4od-uk-cant-stream | 13:52 |
| ikonia | it's a flash problem - versions | 13:52 |
| nooros | reisio: that's what i thought but apparently it's used by their terribad DRM system | 13:52 |
| reisio | doubt it | 13:52 |
| nooros | ikonia: I have the latest one | 13:52 |
| ikonia | nooros: doesn't mean it's supported/works as flash for linux is dead | 13:53 |
| reisio | ikonia: is it now | 13:53 |
| anom | Hi, is there a PPA for PHP 5.5 yet? | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | nooros, well , XP is bit long in the tooth anyway , W7 is probly the best MSOS around | 13:53 |
| nooros | ikonia: Well it works with chromeos, and it used to work until 13.04, how you recommend it fix it? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | nooros: from what I'm reading - you don't, | 13:53 |
| ikonia | nooros: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/adobe-adandons-flash-on-linux | 13:54 |
| curatrix | nooros: Is adobe-flashplugin installed? | 13:54 |
| djono | hello is there a program that can flash me external dvd drive? | 13:54 |
| reisio | djono: flash? | 13:54 |
| reisio | djono: do pick a channel | 13:54 |
| nooros | curatrix: Yes, and i can view most other flash content | 13:54 |
| mic1980 | k it worked so far, but question do i need to format the swap file | 13:54 |
| djono | flash my dvd drive firmware | 13:54 |
| cfhowlett | mic1980, no you need not format the swap file | 13:55 |
| reisio | djono: what makes you think you need to do soemthing like that | 13:55 |
| ikonia | djono: your vendor will need to provide a linux flash program, or you'll need to use boot media | 13:55 |
| reisio | mic1980: swap is its own "format" | 13:55 |
| mic1980 | thanks brb | 13:55 |
| nooros | reisio: ikonia This used to work until 13.04 http://m.jguk.org/2012/10/resolved-channel4-4od-working-with.html | 13:56 |
| ikonia | nooros: re-read what I said | 13:56 |
| ikonia | nooros: saying "it used to work" backs up what I've just told you | 13:56 |
| staticLNX | ugh X.X | 13:56 |
| nooros | ikonia: so why does it work with chromeos? | 13:56 |
| reisio | their site says it should work on Linux, so maybe they don't know they've broken it yet | 13:56 |
| ikonia | nooros: READ the links I've given you, actually read them | 13:56 |
| reisio | nooros: Chrome OS has a different Flash version than Firefox | 13:56 |
| reisio | nooros: you could try Google Chrome (not Chromium) for Linux | 13:57 |
| nooros | reisio: I have tried chrome on ubuntu | 13:57 |
| ikonia | nooros: read the links | 13:57 |
| reisio | nooros: apparently they have a youtube channel | 13:57 |
| nooros | ikonia: So the link says it's not supported. Fine. however some people hav it workign and i need to find out why so i can get mine working | 13:57 |
| ikonia | nooros: again READ the whole link | 13:58 |
| ikonia | not just the first line | 13:58 |
| nooros | ikonia: I dont know what you are trying to achieve. It still works for some folk, and I would to find out why, rather than write it off | 13:59 |
| curatrix | nooros: I wonder if it is a security certificate that is stopping the video. I can check from this end as I am using LTS | 14:00 |
| curatrix | *can't | 14:01 |
| nooros | curatrix: interesting, thanks, i will look into that | 14:01 |
| nooros | reisio: You are right, there is a youtube channel, but they don't have all the content. | 14:02 |
| Giwrgaras | adobe doenst support ubuntu anymore? | 14:04 |
| Giwrgaras | http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect | 14:04 |
| mic1980 | folks i want to say a sincere thank you, it seems to be working now install is proceeding. i really appreciate it. cant stick around for reply but thanks | 14:07 |
| nooros | reisio: This is how terrible Adobe's code really is: Post 29 by adobe staff :-) http://forums.adobe.com/message/4797142#4797142 | 14:07 |
| ikonia | nooros: it's not "bad" - they don't support linux so new versions of sites that require the new version of flash won't work, it's that simple | 14:08 |
| ikonia | so I'm not sure why you are saying "bad code bad code", it's just a version miss-match | 14:08 |
| nooros | ikonia: They are using the HAL package for drm | 14:09 |
| decci | Any alternative to Microsoft Exchange? I tried installing Open-xchange but I failed to implement | 14:09 |
| Giwrgaras | can i see youtube with html instead of flash for my chromium? | 14:09 |
| reisio | nooros: I might believe it if installing hal actually helped you | 14:09 |
| decci | I looked at Zimbra but the open source edition has limited feature | 14:09 |
| reisio | Giwrgaras: some youtube videos, yes | 14:09 |
| nooros | reisio: It has helped some, see ubuntu forums. Many ppl saying "sudo apt-get install hal" fixed 4od and flash. Can find you many links if you want :P | 14:10 |
| reisio | nooros: sure, but in _the past_ hal was something that distros still used | 14:10 |
| reisio | nooros: so again, I might believe it if installing hal actually helped you _now_ | 14:11 |

| nooros | reisio: I agree, it's utterly bizzare | 14:12 |
| Giwrgaras | where are the program files in ubuntu? | 14:12 |
| Giwrgaras | im trying to access my python bin but i cannot find where are th programfiles in ubuntu or how they are called | 14:12 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: just type 'python' .. but you can use 'which python' to locate it | 14:14 |
| === multiply is now known as Multiply | ||
| reisio | nooros: well we already knew Adobe was quite bad at everything :p | 14:14 |
| reisio | it'd be interesting if new versions of Flash coming with Chrome still made use of hal in any way | 14:14 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: BTW you have very little legit reason to mess with the contents of the *system* python runtime. Install a python venv if you want a separate envrionment | 14:14 |
| Giwrgaras | istore modules inside thats why i want to find the root file | 14:15 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: Why? | 14:15 |
| Giwrgaras | to have easy access to them and to be in the module library the modules that i write | 14:16 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: I recommend you go to ##python and ask them how to set up your python env in a standard manner | 14:16 |
| Giwrgaras | but generally where are the program files in here how are they called | 14:16 |
| Giwrgaras | ok | 14:16 |
| h221 | my computer doesn't boot, doesn't even beep.. And I have an ubuntu liveCD.. is there any thing I can do with the liveCD to make it boot? | 14:17 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: Giwrgaras load python, "import sys" then print sys.path | 14:17 |
| reisio | h221: if it doesn't turn on at all? No | 14:18 |
| curatrix | h221: Is there a power switch on the back? | 14:18 |
| nooros | Giwrgaras: Ubuntu OS *requires* python to run so do NOT mess with anythng in there, setup your own environment | 14:18 |
| h221 | The cpu turns on... | 14:18 |
| h221 | I'm on an irc.. I'm not that dumb.. srsly? | 14:19 |
| curatrix | h221: Can you access the BIOs | 14:19 |

| Mekzholan | So that I don't et the same problems again: what hardware here is known to work very well? What should I buy? | 14:45 |
| sometwo | w30, I found the problem now. my kerberos ticket had expired | 14:45 |
| ikonia | Mekzholan: usb dongles as a rule do not have great support, check the hardware compatability lists for linux | 14:45 |
| nooros | maskupe: it is saying it cant mount the drive as the drive is broken. I dnt know how to fix windows drives. Some other guys here might know | 14:46 |
| ikonia | Mekzholan: if possible find one without the need for external kernel modules | 14:46 |
| sometwo | and for some reason root had a ticket ...??? | 14:46 |
| w30 | sometwo, ahhh..... | 14:46 |
| maskupe | okay | 14:46 |
| maskupe | thank you | 14:46 |
| maskupe | can you recommend someone? | 14:46 |

| daftykins | Mekzholan: why not consider changing the internal card, also? | 14:48 |
| Mekzholan | The BCM4313 is also supported - but wrecks the lokal WLAN... | 14:48 |
| ikonia | Mekzholan: well, if it's listed on that list, it means supported....meaning it works | 14:48 |

| Mekzholan | daftykins: no, Vostros are laptops | 14:51 |

| reconmaster | can't get vmware shared folder module to compile in the kernel with 13.04r | 14:51 |
| reconmaster | 13.04* | 14:51 |
| ikonia | reconmaster: have you cheked it's compatability on the vmware site/requirments/support list | 14:52 |
| daftykins | Mekzholan: they're both it seems. no underside panels to uncover it? | 14:52 |

| tga_ | greetings | 14:52 |
| ikonia | reconmaster if you've not checked if it's meant to work, you can't call it a bug. Do some ressearch, or if you're not bothered, don't | 14:53 |
| tga_ | I just got my LUKS+LVM2 system unbootable, probably by running out of space on /boot | 14:53 |
| lida_ok | zero2XIII ı explain my problem on the link. | 14:53 |
| tga_ | I could use some hints on how to rebuild everything, just doing an update-initramfs in chroot didn't help | 14:53 |
| Mekzholan | daftykins: well I'm just trying to look at the repair manual of how to get close to the card. I don't even know how the form factor is called that I have to search for... | 14:54 |
| MrChip | join #huawei-g300 | 14:54 |
| cfhowlett | MrChip, it's /join | 14:54 |
| daftykins | Mekzholan: mini PCI/PCI-E typically, something like an intel 6300 would be top end 802.11n with 3 antennas | 14:55 |

| lida_ok | zero2XIII: ı should put it on my /home/username/ folder? why? ı get all permissions of /apps already. | 15:00 |
| zero2XIII | lida_ok: it is just strange to need to put it there, then own the directory, when you can simply run it from your home folder with no permission issues.. Tell me slowly again what you want to do | 15:01 |

| tga0 | rypervenche: what UUID should I have for root in crypttab? | 15:26 |
| tga0 | rypervenche: blkid /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root? | 15:26 |
| tga0 | or /dev/sdd5, that is the encrypted volume? | 15:26 |
| tga0 | rypervenche: nm, /dev/sdd5 of course | 15:27 |
| rypervenche | tga0: it will show up in blkid, I would just use the /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root but if you feel that you have to use the UUID, you can find it in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 15:27 |

| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: that is the file name: see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 | 16:12 |
| jrib | MJCD: that seems plausible | 16:13 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, what would dselect do? | 16:13 |
| === hklovaZ is now known as OchMate | ||
| tga0 | rypervenche: interesting, I found one issue that might break things | 16:14 |
| tga0 | ubuntu-root and ubuntu-cache are both inside /dev/sdd5 | 16:14 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: it is a package management front end... but I forgot, it is not installed by default | 16:14 |
| tga0 | so mapping /dev/sdd5 to "ubuntu-root" doesn't allow ubuntu-root to come out | 16:14 |
| chunkyhead | no wonder wasn't getting on the manpage zero2XIII | 16:15 |

| MJCD | yeah I just did a test case | 16:16 |
| MJCD | [/a/ created a: 1372004043] [/a/b created: a: 1372004083 b: 1372004082] [/a/b/c created: a: 1372004083 b: 1372004137 c: 1372004136] | 16:16 |
| MJCD | So it's correct, it only changes the modified time one directory up | 16:16 |
| MJCD | that seems pretty dumb | 16:16 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: dpkg -i should then install the selected packages | 16:17 |
| rednet | wie komm ich in den deutschen anfänger irc | 16:17 |
| rednet | für ubuntu | 16:17 |
| Guest54349 | is there anyone use cubiboard | 16:19 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, dpkg -i installs deb packages right? these are name of packs on a text file. more over when i type sudo dpkg --set-selections < file-name, i get alot of warnings like these "dpkg: warning: package not in database at line 13: w3m" | 16:19 |
| rednet | who is the german channal for ubuntuuser baisic | 16:20 |
| k1l_ | rednet: "/join #ubuntu-de" | 16:20 |
| Neuhristide | :/ | 16:20 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: then those are 3rd party repros, or not activated repros. and yes, or you can try the dpkg -a option (dpkg --pending) | 16:21 |
| Neuhristide | Okay I can speak, so, I have a question : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5792146/ With this list I don't have KDE 4.10.4 .. | 16:21 |
| d4rkn30 | is there any way i can remove the main Ubuntu mirrors ? | 16:21 |
| chunkyhead | yes they are 3rd party repos, zero2XIII | 16:21 |
| Neuhristide | but KDE 4.10.4 is on Backport repository, and backport repository is in this list | 16:21 |
| Neuhristide | What I must do for fix that ? | 16:21 |
| k1l_ | d4rkn30: can you rephrase? | 16:22 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: then you need to add them to the repro list first, then sudo apt-get update, and then do the dpkg --set-selections < file-name and after that do the dpkg -a (or dpkg --pending) | 16:22 |
| d4rkn30 | k1l_, you see , i searched for fastest mirrors, but it still wants to use the ubuntu.com ones | 16:22 |
| k1l_ | d4rkn30: you can change the ursl in /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:23 |
| k1l_ | d4rkn30: but be aware of the changes and make a backup of that file | 16:23 |
| d4rkn30 | k1l_, thats what i thought but i wasnt to sure, if it would break my install \ | 16:23 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, repo list is sources.list right? | 16:24 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: yes as far as I know | 16:24 |
| chunkyhead | located in /etc/apt? | 16:24 |
| k1l_ | chunkyhead: the PPA dont come into the sources.list | 16:24 |
| wheatthin | after changing to the faster server, use apt-get update | 16:24 |
| k1l_ | chunkyhead: just use add-apt-repository | 16:25 |
| KeyboardNotFound | Can I install ubuntu server on normal PC ? | 16:25 |
| wheatthin | KeyboardNotFound, yup | 16:25 |
| k1l_ | KeyboardNotFound: yes | 16:25 |
| aguitel | yes | 16:25 |
| d4rkn30 | KeyboardNotFound, yes | 16:25 |
| chunkyhead | k1l_, but i have hundreds of repos to add lol | 16:25 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: k1l_ is right, PPA's dont go there... Looking for alternative now... | 16:25 |
| aguitel | only cli | 16:26 |
| k1l_ | hundreds? o_O | 16:26 |
| d4rkn30 | chunkyhead, then make a script, | 16:26 |

| draar | KeyboardNotFound: the minimum *recommended* are on the website. You can fit into a lot less space if you try | 16:28 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: even if you create such a script, you still need to add the sources. | 16:29 |

| Friberg | Hello :) Anyone running HD7970 with multiple monitors in Ubuntu? | 16:30 |
| wheatthin | chunkyhead, minutes | 16:30 |
| MJCD | jrib, Because in what way has the outer container (/a/) not been modified when it has new contents | 16:30 |
| chunkyhead | lol my bad wheatthin | 16:30 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, ^ | 16:30 |
| jrib | MJCD: a directory is basically just a listing of its contents. When you add a file to /a/b, b changes (i.e. the list of contents in b changes), but a does not (i.e. the list of contents of a does not) | 16:30 |
| draar | MJCD: How would you tell when was the last write to / ? | 16:31 |
| === OchMate is now known as Zorvq | ||
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: the ones that gave erros in dpkg will not install, the other will. I want to create a script real quick to add the extra repros for you | 16:31 |
| MJCD | draar, huh | 16:31 |
| jrib | MJCD: this is my understanding of how it works. I see why you may want it to work the way you are saying though. | 16:31 |
| draar | MJCD: If you did it your way, any timestamp on / would be meaningless as anytime you saved any file, the parent would update its modification timestamp? | 16:31 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, let me edit the pack lists real quick, hold on | 16:31 |
| KeyboardNotFound | Which is best ubuntu server version / | 16:31 |
| chunkyhead | coz most are ubuntu preinstalled, "just give me a few" :P | 16:31 |
| chunkyhead | ^zero | 16:31 |
| MJCD | draar, Only on the parent directory.. not on any of its contents | 16:31 |
| draar | KeyboardNotFound: define "best" | 16:32 |
| MJCD | and only the filemtime | 16:32 |
| chunkyhead | coz most are ubuntu preinstalled, "just give me a few" :P zero2XIII | 16:32 |
| k1l_ | KeyboardNotFound: there is no best. just use the LTS, since its got long suport timeframe | 16:32 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: oka, this also seems like the original source list? hahahaha yea sorry that was a typo | 16:32 |
| KeyboardNotFound | Thanks | 16:32 |
| chunkyhead | yep it is zero2XIII | 16:32 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: oki doki | 16:33 |
| chunkyhead | actually i'd del the edited one, testdisk ftw! zero2XIII | 16:33 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, woohooo http://paste.ubuntu.com/5792995/ | 16:34 |
| draar | MJCD: Wouldnt that be inconsistent? How would it work with symlinks? | 16:34 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: thats a clean install? | 16:34 |
| draar | KeyboardNotFound: What specific thing will you be using the server for? | 16:34 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, installed 13.04 today. was real tired of slow kde screwing my laptop. | 16:35 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: so you want the diference between the two files to be installed? | 16:35 |
| MJCD | draar, Regardless, it would always iterate up... So creating /home/MJCD/a would affect /home/ and /MJCD/ with the current time | 16:35 |
| MJCD | and hell, even / with the current time | 16:36 |
| MJCD | it makes sense to me | 16:36 |
| chunkyhead | no no, i just want to install these http://paste.ubuntu.com/5792995/ | 16:36 |
| draar | MJCD: so the timestamp for / will be continually changing? | 16:36 |
| MJCD | its like if you had a bunch of different sized boxes.. You put a small box inside a medium box.. Then you put the medium box inside the large box.. | 16:36 |
| MJCD | Is the large box different than it was? | 16:36 |
| MJCD | Ofcourse it is. | 16:36 |
| chunkyhead | no no, i just want to install these http://paste.ubuntu.com/5792995/ zero2XIII | 16:37 |
| MJCD | It's got two boxes inside it it didnt have before | 16:37 |
| draar | MJCD: There are hundreds of file operations every second; what would this do to system performance? | 16:37 |
| draar | MJCD: And besides the whole point of a hierarchial file system is to separate things so you dont look inside the box | 16:38 |
| MJCD | It already updates two. It would only become an issue with paths say.. 100 directories deep.. Which does happen.. but if you're writing to files 100 directories deep every secon | 16:38 |
| MJCD | d | 16:38 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: oh oka then just pipe that file to dpkg and see what programs need 3rd party repros | 16:38 |
| MJCD | you probably have bigger issues | 16:38 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: it will be the ones with erros | 16:38 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: it works on my system, marks them with no errors so I have all the repros | 16:39 |
| MJCD | draar, The whole point of a HIERACHIAL system is usually to implement complete inheritance models.. | 16:39 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, this should do it right? dpkg --set-selection < packagesnew && dselect | 16:39 |
| raven_ | how to improve night vision of motion? any way to increase shutter time to 1 second? | 16:40 |
| zero2XIII | if you installed dselect before that yes | 16:40 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: sudo apt-get install dselect | 16:40 |
| chunkyhead | lol yeah did that zero2XIII | 16:40 |
| reisio | raven_: better camera | 16:40 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: then yes it should work | 16:40 |
| raven_ | reisio, how to do that by software | 16:41 |
| reisio | raven_: by selling software to earn money to buy a better camera | 16:41 |
| jrib | chunkyhead: do note that you don't need to install dselect (though it's fine if you do). dpkg man page gives the apt-get command you can use instead | 16:41 |
| raven_ | reisio, you think you're funny? | 16:41 |
| draar | MJCD: Talking about inheirtance now? You know that if you make a class in (say) C++ and you inherit from it, and you change an instance of the derived class, it doesnt set any kind of modification flag on the parent instance unless you specifically tell it to? | 16:41 |
| zero2XIII | jrib: what is it, I have looked over it then hahaha | 16:42 |
| jrib | zero2XIII: apt-get dselect-upgrade | 16:43 |
| zero2XIII | jrib: Ah just found it, almost the very bottom, thanks :) | 16:43 |

| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, ^ | 16:47 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: did you do "apt-get update" before you ran apt-get dselect-upgrade? | 16:47 |
| chunkyhead | i did zero2XIII | 16:47 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: are all your repros active? multiverse and universe? cause "cheese" is in the normal repros | 16:47 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, when i type sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade it gives me the same output as sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:49 |
| chunkyhead | and i did not do dselect-upgrade, my bad | 16:49 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: yea i thought you might not have, strange, try sudo apt-get install cheese | 16:50 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: just want to see if that gives error aswell | 16:50 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, was going exactly that hold on | 16:50 |
| chunkyhead | the repos is working zero2XIII it asks me if i want to install cheese y/n, i guess the problem is with dpkg | 16:51 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, ^ | 16:51 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: that truelly is strange, install synaptic, and do it in there, (if you have GUI environment). Both works fine for me... just installed the complete list on my system | 16:52 |
| Friberg | wow. not even ubuntu runs good on my machine. just crashes with all the screens :( | 16:52 |
| reisio | :D | 16:54 |
| stefg | Friberg: so that machine might be to blame, not the OS... did a hardware check recently? (bad RAM, dying harddrive?) | 16:54 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, what do you want me to install thru synaptic? | 16:54 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: the list, you can select the list in synaptic. By going file > read markings | 16:55 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: | 16:55 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: hold on a sec | 16:56 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, that should contain just packnames right? | 16:56 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: nope the exact same file you are trying to send to dpkg can be used in synaptic | 16:56 |

| varikonniemi | ok, someone try this: take firefox, left-maximize it and then press maximize. Does it bug out for you? | 17:11 |
| Friberg | stefg: Well, I've been running Windows 8 for some time, with 2 screens in height, 3 in width for quite some time now. 5760x2160. | 17:12 |
| reisio | Dustin: it's called a 'swap' file | 17:12 |
| varikonniemi | wow, not only firefox but any window? ! | 17:12 |
| reisio | Dustin: it's useful if things go wrong | 17:12 |
| Friberg | So I doubt its the hardware | 17:12 |
| marcoagpinto | I have ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04 in VMs... I was updating 12.10 and it showed a progress bar... on 13.04 there is no progress bar... I entered my password and pressed ENTER... was there something I needed to click? | 17:12 |
| Dustin | reisio: do they ever remove themselves? Or do I have to manually do that? | 17:12 |
| reisio | Dustin: most things that use such files remove them upon successfully, normally ceasing activity to do with the file | 17:12 |
| reisio | Dustin: so when things go wrong, they remain, and when they go right, they do not | 17:13 |
| reisio | some editors allow the option to have them remain regardless, which is odd :) | 17:13 |
| reisio | I doubt gedit is one, but I've never used it much | 17:13 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: I am having a hard time getting a clean command just do this: | 17:13 |

| varikonniemi | guys? is this a known bug in unity? left-maximized windows fail to maximize! | 17:13 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, should i backup lock first maybe? | 17:14 |
| stefg | Friberg: that's probably a not so well tested use case for graphics drivers... | 17:14 |
| Dustin | reisio: awesome, thank you for the information. I do think gedit is doing it, as I always use gedit as my edior, that or nano. Regardless, I have OCD, hate knowing that there are a bunch of "swap files" that are being created, every time I edit a certain file. (I did restart, has been a few hours, they still exist). | 17:14 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: no it is a file created by a program to have exclusive access to a folder or drive etc. It does nothing but "lock" it to that process | 17:15 |

| nimbiotics | Hello all. While trying to install latest nvidia drivers (this has also happened before though) I get asked to ""please insert the disc labelled 'Ubuntu-Studio 13.04 _Raring Ringtail_ - Release i386 (20130424)' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter"" I insert the cd I used for installation purposes and press enter, only to have the same requested again and again. How can I fix this?? TIA!! | 17:27 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: just "sudo dpkg --set-selections < packname " | 17:27 |
| btbradley | I think it must be some sort of timeout that sometimes gets hit and sometimes doesn't when it loads the driver or something...the touchscreen always appears in the xinput list regardless of whether it's working or not | 17:27 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5793157/, but then it didn't install anything O.o | 17:28 |

| nimbiotics | odziom91: do i just delete that sources.list file? | 17:30 |
| Dustin | reisio: is there a way to search for all "backup" files that have been created? I would like to remove them, if they're ones I've previously edited and know are safe. | 17:30 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, help me understand what's wrong, maybe i can help | 17:30 |
| Dustin | a wildcard to find all with the extension~ | 17:30 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: dpkg is not finding the package name in its database to select it for installation. However apt-get finds it, so it does exist. | 17:31 |
| odziom91 | nimbiotics: don't delete file - just open it (on root) in text editor and delete or comment line | 17:31 |
| chunkyhead | let me get this correct, doesn't dpkg only install packs whose deb is pre-downloaded? like apt-get downloads packs and dpkg installs em right? zero2XIII | 17:32 |
| odziom91 | nimbiotics: with cd/dvd repository ofc | 17:32 |
| nimbiotics | odziom91: thx | 17:32 |
| chunkyhead | im not a professional linux guy, but that's what i know, you might know more zero2XIII | 17:32 |
| chunkyhead | im a newbie as a matter of fact :P zero2XIII | 17:32 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: not specifically, that is one functionally though, but not the ONLY one... | 17:33 |
| odziom91 | nimbiotics: ah... and then in terminal write: sudo apt-get update and press enter ;) | 17:33 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: try the synaptic approach, otherwise I will just make a script real quick | 17:33 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, so here when we say dpkg --set-selections, shouldn't we already have the packs already downloaded int he same directory? | 17:33 |
| nimbiotics | odziom91: didnt do the apt-get update but seems to be working nonetheless. THX!! | 17:34 |
| chunkyhead | how will you make the script? zero2XIII | 17:34 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: not as far as I have read online... simple SED real quick to format the file into a LONG apt-get request | 17:34 |
| chunkyhead | SED zero2XIII ? | 17:35 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: so please pastebin the file you are piping to dpkg | 17:35 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, that even i can do. wouldn't want you to go thru so much trouble! | 17:35 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: sed is a terminal application that manipulates strings of text based on certain criteria | 17:35 |
| chunkyhead | zero2XIII, let me try it out then, packname is sed right? | 17:36 |
| zero2XIII | chunkyhead: it wont take me even 5 minutes, but you are welcome to do it yourself if you wish | 17:36 |

| bobrun | was it just the dbs, anom? | 17:51 |

| wad | Hi guys. I'm poking at a box I set up and configured a while back. It's an internet gateway machine. I think I disabled the "networking", and set it up manually, but I don't recall for sure. How could I tell? | 18:02 |
| daftykins | wad: so it'd have static addressing, or be stand-alone? | 18:02 |
| wad | It uses DHCP to get an IP from the ISP on the WAN, and runs DHCP on the LAN side. | 18:03 |
| bekks | wad: cat /etc/network/interfaces - do you see configured IP addresses in there? | 18:03 |
| bobrun | I've installed lighttpd from the package manager and now I'd like to add a plugin that requires being baked into lighttpd's source. I'd like to keep the way the package manager set up the environment, though. How might i attempt that? | 18:03 |
| wad | dynamic on eth0 (WAN), static on eth1 (LAN) | 18:03 |

| excelsiora | I suspend to ram frequently, and when I bring it back up, wifi interface is buggy and I can't even figure out a workaround to connect to a new wifi | 18:08 |

| Tking | tty | 18:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Tking, Ah, try sudo stop lightdm then sudo start lightdm at that tty. Has it ever booted to the gui and if so what has led you hear, possibly a graphic driver install? | 18:23 |

| reisio | LucidDreamZzZ: the GUI thing in Unity is called dash, isn't it? | 18:33 |
| zykotick9 | lucas2196829: with 512MB RAM, i'd strongly suggest lxde or xfce, or go really minimal with one of the the *box WM | 18:33 |

| reisio | lucas2196829: why wouldn't it | 18:33 |
| LucidDreamZzZ | resio, i think so it doesnt seem bad just would like icon for each window if possible then it would be nice | 18:35 |
| reisio | sorry I don't know much about Unity | 18:35 |

| juo100 | I'm trying to mount my ext4 formatted USB HD but when i do i get the following error message "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1" | 18:54 |
| juo100 | but i just formatted it with "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -L drive" | 18:55 |
| daftykins | juo100: what does dmesg say? | 18:55 |
| bekks | juo100: Then either the superblock is corrupted or it isnt an ext4 fs. | 18:55 |
| juo100 | how do i format the drive for ext4? | 18:56 |
| juo100 | 'sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 -L drive' ? | 18:56 |
| daftykins | i must be invisible again | 18:56 |
| yeik | bekks, i cant remember what version i last upgraded to. it is recent. why does the version matter? | 18:56 |
| juo100 | sorry daftykins, whats dmesg? | 18:56 |
| juo100 | ah 1 sec | 18:57 |
| juo100 | ill paste it | 18:57 |
| daftykins | just see if it's explaining the errors | 18:57 |
| juo100 | '[ 993.972473] EXT4-fs (sda1): Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value' | 18:57 |

| daftykins | juo100: drop the uid and gid and try again | 18:57 |
| juo100 | daftykins: thanks :D | 18:58 |
| yeik | ubuntu 12.04 - precise | 18:58 |
| juo100 | i tried to remove it before but forgot to remove the -o argument ^^ | 18:58 |
| yeik | i removed the i386 version and installed the regular version of libxerces | 19:01 |
| daftykins | juo100: all working fine now is it? | 19:02 |
| yeik | I also downloaded the source of the package, looked at the documentation, installed the noted dependencies and the makefile didn't create the version.h so it says that version.h is missing. | 19:03 |

| prahlad | Just installed ubuntu 13.04, have an issue with network-manager (nm-applet crashes). Can anyone help ? | 19:08 |
| juo100 | daftykins: yeah, my only issue now, adding it into /etc/fstab with "/dev/sdb1 /media/external ext4 defaults 0 0" didn't seam to survive the reboot | 19:08 |
| juo100 | is there another file i can look at to debug that? | 19:09 |
| bekks | juo100: Do not mount things to /media manually. /media is used by the automounting facility. Use /mnt/ for manual mounting. | 19:09 |
| prahlad | I think when we have so many guis floating about, can't we have one for auto-mounting a disk-partition too ? | 19:09 |
| jordan4ibanez | Where is the xorg.conf? | 19:09 |
| prahlad | why do we have to edit /etc/fstab for a trivial thing like that? | 19:10 |
| daftykins | jordan4ibanez: /etc/X11/ | 19:10 |
| juo100 | ok, I will try it out with /mnt/ | 19:10 |
| jordan4ibanez | I don't have one in there, I am running nvidia proprietary 313 | 19:10 |
| bekks | prahlad: Feel free to contribute and code one. | 19:10 |
| daftykins | jordan4ibanez: it's automatic at boot time then. are you wanting to change a setting? | 19:10 |
| jordan4ibanez | Yes, enable coolbits | 19:10 |
| prahlad | bekks: I'm learning python programming with pygtk. will surely contribute to this once I master that.. :-) | 19:11 |
| daftykins | jordan4ibanez: haha wow i don't even know if that's still alive. sure it can't be done by running nvidia-settings with a switch or something these days? also graphics card overclocking is immensely fruitless | 19:11 |
| jordan4ibanez | It is. And it's not. I just need to know where xorg.conf is. Or if it's generated under another name? | 19:12 |
| daftykins | jordan4ibanez: like i said things happen auto at boot, so a file isn't needed. you'd have to generate a basic one if you want to add something | 19:13 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:33 |

| ifara64 | fara | 20:01 |
| luca__ | sudeep: mmmh... i don't think is possible... because unity dosen't support Emerald. | 20:01 |
| MonkeyDust | methinks emerald was a gnome2 toy | 20:01 |
| sudeep | but this proves unity can http://www.webupd8.org/2013/05/how-to-install-emerald-in-ubuntu-1304.html | 20:02 |

| hadifarnoud | daftykins: no. | 20:03 |
| checkin | any alternatives to hal..? | 20:03 |
| Zagomah | sudeep: Remember... emerald replace compiz, default windows decoration... | 20:03 |

| yakster | … so yeah… I cant get autofs to work…. | 20:04 |
| sudeep | Zagomah: so unity uses compiz to decoration right ? | 20:04 |
| hadifarnoud | daftykins: I installed virtualmin to use it as web server | 20:04 |
| daftykins | hadifarnoud: sure but you're running a mail server program right? | 20:04 |
| daftykins | hadifarnoud: it's very masochistic to run your own mail server tbh | 20:04 |
| hadifarnoud | daftykins: I do have mail server but not in use really | 20:04 |
| wilee-nilee | sudeep, Unity is a plugin in compiz | 20:04 |
| MonkeyDust | sudeep unity is a compiz plugin | 20:05 |

| daftykins | hadifarnoud: are you hosting other peoples websites or something? | 20:10 |
| bekks | hadifarnoud: Yes, there is. Tools like ps, rkhunter, lsof, nmap can help you to find it. | 20:10 |

| hadifarnoud | bekks: can you point me in right direction? they are very general tools. what should I do exactly | 20:11 |
| bekks | hadifarnoud: You should use them to see whats running, what looks suspicious, etc. | 20:12 |
| AdvoWork | MonkeyDust, will try that too. | 20:12 |

| MonkeyDust | fyksen then i guess you're out of luck, does not exist | 20:13 |

| AdvoWork | MonkeyDust, amarok is fine, thanks for the tips | 20:16 |

| ubottu | darkangel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 20:28 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: it's the only device there is, but it doesn't work right | 20:28 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: sometimes when i talk into it, it'll recognize it, but then when i try again it won't work | 20:28 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: does it show level? in the sound settings under input level? | 20:29 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: sometimes after i unplug it and plug it back in, but it's really unreliable and after i exit the sound settings and reopen it, it won't recognize it | 20:30 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: for example, in audacity, i configured it to work with the mic, and i recorded once and it worked fine, but when i tried again it said it couldn't locate the mic, even though it was still configured the same way | 20:30 |

| === daniel is now known as Guest26785 | ||
| zero2XIII | ofhs: that might be more a mic issue I think than a real software issue. Try seeing if "dmesg" in terminal gives any clues, after pluging the mic out and back in, do it imediately | 20:31 |
| Zagomah_ | anyone know how to install shell themes?? | 20:32 |
| Zagomah_ | this for example : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faience?content=154949 | 20:32 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: it works absolutely fine with any other computer though, just not with ubuntu | 20:32 |
| k1l_ | Zagomah_: did you read what is written in your link after "installation"? | 20:33 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: Oka, then something might be screwing around, plug the mic out, and then open a terminal, and plug it back in.. wait a few seconds and then run this in terminal: dmesg | tail -n25 and pastebin that so I can see please | 20:34 |
| Zagomah_ | k1l_: yes but when i open Gnome tweak tools appears a message say the extension of the shell is disabled | 20:34 |

| zero2XIII | ofhs: it picks it up as a camera :?.. please run the following and put them together in a paste bin: "lsusb" and "lsmod" | 20:37 |
| Zagomah_ | MonkeyDust: i have 13.04 | 20:37 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: it's a webcam/mic combo | 20:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Zagomah_ then it's gnome3 | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Zagomah_, I just look in synaptic, but there is probably a command, If you go to the extensions site and go thgrough them you can try and see what works and doesn't, there a lot of nice ones I use about 10-15 overall. | 20:37 |
| Zagomah_ | Thx all for help <3 | 20:38 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: anyway, this is what that returns http://pastebin.com/fmRevJVS | 20:38 |

| Zagomah_ | on https://extensions.gnome.org/ | 20:42 |

| jonascj | Hi all. I'm having trouble restoring my iptable rules after reboot. I'm using "post-up /sbin/iptables-restore < /path/to/rules-file" on my eth0. But I never see any rules restored when I reboot. I'm using fail2ban -could that be overriding my iptables rules? (ubuntu 12.04 server) | 20:43 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: it might not be "completely" unsupported, but buggy... | 20:43 |
| Zagomah_ | ok fixed lol | 20:43 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: you can try some of the fixed recommended there and see, MAYBE something fixes your issue aswell | 20:44 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: uvcvideo driver seems the most common fix.. | 20:44 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: if I just want to use the mic, is there any solution for that? | 20:44 |
| Walex | jonascj: no. | 20:45 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: seeing as it is a combo, I THINK, it might use the same driver for both, basicly drivers for the camera, I might be wrong, but that is usualy the way it works. I do not see any drivers loaded for it in the output you gave me, is it working atm | 20:46 |
| jonascj | Walex: okay, thanks, then I'll be looking elsewhere | 20:47 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: i looked at the UVC specific drivers list, and my model referred to footnotes 1 and 2 here http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#footnote-1 | 20:47 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: funny i was just reading that, and the link is 404 | 20:48 |
| wilee-nilee | A1Recon, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3073 | 20:49 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: so would installing the driver not help my situation at all? | 20:52 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: it doesn't seem like it, however, give it a go. There is not much you can loose. | 20:52 |
| ofhs | zero2XIII: alright, yeah, i'll give it a shot. if nothing works, do you know of any cheap linux-compatible mics? | 20:53 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: but unfortunately I need to run.. The instructions on installing the drivers from source seem straight forward, you can always ask someone here on help with that. But sorry I can not assist you further on this matter. | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: anything that says it doesn't need drivers | 20:54 |
| ofhs | okay, thanks | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: if it doesn't need anything special for Mac OSX, it should work okay in Linux | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: Samson did quite a good one | 20:54 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: hmmm not really, if your mic input does not show up, unfortunately not | 20:54 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: what are you trying to do, anyway? | 20:55 |
| zero2XIII | ofhs: yes any class compliant mic should work... | 20:55 |
| hearit | my voice up today for Nelson Mandela | 20:55 |
| ofhs | gordonjcp: get my USB mic working with ubuntu. audacity and skype recognize when i plug it in, and so does the sound settings thing, but it's being buggy | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: what kind is it? | 20:56 |
| ofhs | gordonjcp: for example, when i recorded with it in audacity to test it, it recognized the input, but when i tried again it couldn't find the mic | 20:56 |
| hadifarnoud | ok, ps -aux and lsof -p didn't help. how can I find the script sending spam emails on my server? | 20:56 |
| gordonjcp | audacity is crap | 20:56 |
| ofhs | gordonjcp: logitech quickcam fusion | 20:56 |
| ofhs | gordonjcp: it doesn't have anything to do with the crappiness of audacity though, the same happened with the sound options | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: so this is the microphone on your webcam? | 20:57 |
| gordonjcp | ofhs: does it actually show up as a separate audio device? | 20:57 |
| === soli is now known as Guest42732 | ||
| ofhs | gordonjcp: yeah, it's a combo thing. it shows up as a microphone input every time i plug it in, but it only works like every other time i select it to record with it. it's really unreliable. | 20:58 |
| ofhs | gordonjcp: when i talk into it, sometimes the sound options will recognize it, but when i exit it and open it again, it doesn't recognize any input, even though it still recognizes the device | 20:59 |
| HelloWorld321 | On @reboot, crontab ran a bash script that does a an ftp script, and the log says "Not connected" for almost everything.

Or should I move it to an anacron job to run after login? | 21:01 |
| HelloWorld321 | (ti,e = time) | 21:01 |

| Tatanka | hoping to learn how to hide my server information etc for starters. | 21:12 |
| ccclipsss | wilee-nilee I mean the ISO for OS installs and I have attempted it on other computers and the USB drive does not work, nor do DVDs | 21:12 |
| k1l_ | Tatanka: is that a ubuntu support question? for general talk we have #ubuntu-offtopic for freenode issues #freenode | 21:13 |
| ccclipsss | I have attempted it with all of the main distros as well as a few other distros, I have tried it with 32 bit and 64 bit and with multiple kernal versions. | 21:13 |
| Tatanka | ohh gotcha! | 21:13 |
| Tatanka | thank you | 21:13 |
| hadifarnoud | wilee-nilee: I can't just wipe out my server now. many websites are hosted on it. how can I disable mail server for now? | 21:13 |
| Tatanka | will be back after with some more sophisitcated questions | 21:13 |
| sw | Tatanka: Yes, your hostname shows 'ip.132.170.253.255'. | 21:13 |
| chinny | @hadifarnoud sudo service postfix stop - if it's postfix for example. more important is the reason ist's sending spam as wilee-nilee said | 21:13 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, So in every instance the dvd/usb do not show in the bios or the other boiot from menu not in the bios but reched with key prompts at powering on? | 21:13 |

| wilee-nilee | boot* | 21:13 |
| hadifarnoud | chinny: thanks. | 21:14 |
| ccclipsss | wilee-nilee correct. I make sure the m5sum is the same as the one I am downloading as well. It also shows up in my home folder correctly, my computer just doesn't know it exists on startup. | 21:14 |

| ccclipsss | I have a Dell 2000 recently purchased and previously had Windows 8. | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, Hm, that is strange, not in the bios, are you familiar with the other boot from menu, outside of the bios. | 21:15 |
| chinny | am hoping someone can help me. having issue with intermediate cert and apache ssl config. ie and chrome fine but firefox having issue. I thought config was correct and the intermediate cert i specified was being served but it seems not. firefox does have the root that issued the intermediate though. | 21:16 |
| ccclipsss | Yes. In the boot menu outside of BIOS I can choose Ubuntu or from EUFI file which leads to dead ends when I go through it, but my USB or DVD never show up. | 21:16 |

| armin | anyone a clue what that power manager icon in the panel is? obviously not gnome-power-manager, right? | 21:17 |
| kostkon | armin, where exactly | 21:18 |
| ccclipsss | wilee-nilee I will try the stuff in that link. Thank you. Hopefully I won't have to come back for more help :) | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, Ubuntu probably I would check with the other OS's channels or on the web I suppose, UEFI is a bit of a problem as the manufacturer have their own versions, and the OS's have different install methods in response | 21:18 |

| wilee-nilee | You can just run the summary though aguitel | 21:27 |

| malt | hello, i installed the 12.04 ubuntu. I have not used ubuntu since 9 version. Is there any way I can move the menu bar down to bottom and also where does my installed programs go | 21:36 |
| chinny | Am hoping someone can help me. I have an issue with intermediate cert and apache ssl config. IE and chrome work fine but firefox is missing the intermediate cert. I thought the config was correct and apache should serve it as I have specified the intermediate cert with SSLCertificateChainFile. Running openssl s_client -connect server.tld:443 -showcerts fails but if I add -CAPath /etc/ssl/certs/ it passes. I'm running 12 | 21:36 |

| malt | anybody know how to get menu bar to bottom instead of at top | 21:41 |
| OerHeks | malt maybe ubuntu-tweak got that option now, not sure | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | isnt it unity-tweak now? | 21:43 |
| malt | ok thanks | 21:43 |
| malt | everytime you install a software app now do you have to search for it in the dash home? | 21:43 |
| OerHeks | ah indeed, unity tweak >> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/unity-tweak-tool-available-in-ubuntu.html | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/02/introducing-unity-tweak-tool | 21:44 |
| OerHeks | malt, on the bottom of dash, you see white icons, browse trough them | 21:44 |
| OerHeks | one is some sort of the old application menu | 21:45 |
| OerHeks | and installed lenses appear there too. | 21:45 |

| folorn | could anyone help me with a small problem on increasing the size of the Cache ?? i get this error when i go to update (Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. C) | 21:50 |
| rypervenche | tga0: Did you ever fix your problem? | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | malt: then use ubuntu-tweak | 21:52 |

| tannji | I am trying to check for dependencies and necessary packages for AMD vid driver before installing... is there a good way to do this other than searching for installed in Synapse? | 21:55 |
| griwesx | ActionParsnip: That's very thorough, I might use that :) | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | griwesx: its step 5 from the synaptic fix package page, i just have it in a script as I am lazy :-) | 21:55 |
| griwesx | ActionParsnip: I take it then you think he doesnt need a cache size increase, and just needs to clean it out? | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tannji: sudo apt-get -f install ,will resolve deps for you | 21:56 |

| folorn | thanks acionparsnip | 21:57 |
| folorn | thanks guys | 21:57 |
| Slart | folorn: you're welcome | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | derrick0400: ask in #freenode like ubottu sugeated | 21:57 |
| folorn | just wasn't sure how to do it or if synaptic would | 21:57 |
| folorn | i tried to ask in #linux and they treated me awful | 21:58 |
| folorn | :( | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tannji: after. the driver package will pull in deps anyway | 21:58 |
| folorn | insulting and mean literally | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: why use synaptic? software centre is in a default install.... | 21:58 |
| Slart | folorn: they tend to frown on questions which can be solver by a quick search with your favourite search engine | 21:58 |
| usercheck_ | is in ubuntu, txt file structure not same in other os?, eof of file structure | 21:59 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: OK, so the AMD driver announcement with its list of required stuff is kinda superfluous? | 21:59 |
| folorn | just upsets me is all im no linux god | 21:59 |
| folorn | and it was humble question is all :( | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | usercheck_: use notepad++ in windows, it handles the difference for you | 21:59 |
| Slart | usercheck_: afaik it's the same as in windows.. although the line endings are different | 22:00 |
| folorn | dunno action never had this problem before :( | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: you'll learn in time | 22:00 |
| Ben64 | folorn: google should always be the first step though | 22:00 |
| folorn | oh? | 22:00 |
| Corey | folorn: Until that point, being polite and constructive, and disregarding those who aren't, is probably a better approach. Remember, we're all volunteers. :-) | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tannji: there is a packaged AMD / ATI driver in the repos | 22:00 |
| folorn | see i use BT love my ubuntu but you people literally are the only folks who work with people seriously | 22:00 |
| folorn | and youhelp everyone | 22:00 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: Synaptic just seems easier to use... I can more easily see what is available or installed | 22:00 |
| folorn | AGREE corey | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: what is 'BT' | 22:01 |
| folorn | and you guys are great :) | 22:01 |
| Corey | BackTrack. :-p | 22:01 |
| webber420 | how do i confirm registration | 22:01 |
| usercheck_ | ActionParsnip, Slart thx. | 22:01 |
| webber420 | do i just paste the confirmation command here | 22:01 |
| folorn | its backtrack but the whole damn distro is ubuntu literally | 22:01 |
| usercheck_ | but i have migrate to linux | 22:01 |
| Corey | folorn: ##linux is often great, but there are a few folks who tend to be a bit off topic. /ignore is a better response than ranting that them, just FYI. | 22:01 |
| webber420 | msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER webber420 hpukdvhoujjx | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: backtrack isnt supported here | 22:01 |
| folorn | sorry for the language :( hrm stil fuming some. | 22:01 |
| webber420 | where do i paste that | 22:01 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip,: yep, but wanted to try the 13.6 beta driver, supposed to have a few fixes specific to Ubuntu 13.04 | 22:01 |
| usercheck_ | althought os win is still in boot, but my primary is linux | 22:02 |
| k1l | lets put the offtopic into #ubuntu-offtopic and the backtrack support to their support channels | 22:02 |
| folorn | its the same distro literally action | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: ask in #backtrack-linux for backtrack support | 22:02 |
| folorn | no joke | 22:02 |
| k1l | !backtrack | folorn | 22:02 |
| ubottu | folorn: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 22:02 |
| * folorn nods. | 22:02 | |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: i know exactly what backtrack is | 22:02 |
| holstein | folorn: its not, though.. and its not supported here.. though, you are welcome to run a live CD or dual boot | 22:02 |
| usercheck_ | i ask about eof file, caused where i'm try in programming, | 22:02 |
| usercheck_ | i see it's not same | 22:02 |
| Corey | folorn: Just FYI, backtrack isn't really envisioned as a general use distribution, it's a pentest platform. One that I find kinda silly, but that's a personal opinion. :-) | 22:03 |
| folorn | why do all my ubuntu packages work so good with it then?? not being a smart a-- just curious ? | 22:03 |
| Corey | folorn: Because it's Ubuntu derived. | 22:03 |
| Slart | usercheck_: can you explain what your problem is.. you can copy paste code in pastebin if that helps | 22:03 |
| Slart | !pastebin | usercheck_ | 22:03 |
| ubottu | usercheck_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:03 |
| folorn | agree corey | 22:03 |
| Corey | folorn: It'll work just fine up until it doesn't. | 22:03 |
| usercheck_ | but which that i must use format in text file , win or linux? | 22:03 |
| k1l | enough of that backtrack talk now. lets stick to ubuntu support in here. thanks | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: none of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported by the ubuntu community. similary ubuntu is based on debian but if you ask for ubuntu support in debain support forums you will be pointed to here | 22:03 |
| griwesx | usercheck_: ctrl+Z in windows, ctrl+D in liux | 22:03 |
| webber420 | WHERE DO I POST THE CONFIRMATION CODE I GOT IN MY EMAIL | 22:03 |

| dr_willis | usercheck_: windows uses a cr+lf for end of line in a text file.. linux uses just a cr i belive | 22:04 |
| tga0 | rypervenche: I uninstalled old kernels and did a update-initramfs -u -k all (that was failing initially because it was trying to cram too many kernels in 100M /boot) | 22:04 |

| === derek is now known as Guest10779 | ||
| Ben64 | webber420: doesn't sound like an ubuntu issue, maybe ask #freenode? | 22:04 |
| holstein | webber420: you need to be careful and not share your passcode here.. or in any channel.. i would /j #freenode | 22:05 |
| tga0 | rypervenche: and I also updated crypttab and did an update-grub | 22:05 |
| Slart | folorn: even if a distro is based on ubuntu it is not certain that everything is the same.. say a configuration file is moved somewhere else.. then installing a package that somehow works with this configuration file will make your os do weird things.. perhaps the ubuntu people found it to be energy draining to keep track of all the differences and decided that every distro gets to support their own stuff | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | webber420: ask in #freenode | 22:05 |
| usercheck_ | dr_willies thx, | 22:05 |

| holstein | !ask > chinny | 22:05 |
| ubottu | chinny, please see my private message | 22:05 |
| usercheck_ | but which between them we must put the format into my programming? | 22:06 |
| griwesx | usercheck_: are you asking about end of file or end of line? | 22:06 |
| usercheck_ | i'm sorry my explain is not clear | 22:06 |
| dr_willis | usercheck_: make the app check and use either one | 22:06 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: are you aware of a good recent guide on installing AMD drivers? I have been trying since 12.04 to get off the Juniper Pro drivers, but I kill the desktop every time. | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | psilo_: i think you still have to remove the data | 22:07 |
| Slart | usercheck_: if your program is to be compiled on linux, do it the linux way.. if it's supposed to be compiled on windows I would use the windows way.. it's easy enough to convert it so it's not really a big problem (and most real editors handle both variants anyway) | 22:07 |

| === jack is now known as Guest3213 | ||
| folorn | anyways thanks everyone :) | 22:08 |

| === xtr-2 is now known as xtr | ||
| ActionParsnip | tannji: all i know is use the additional drivers. If its a 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx then there is a legacy driver PPA | 22:08 |
| usercheck_ | dr_willies thx i will try to use it | 22:08 |
| holstein | !ati | tannji this is what i always refer to | 22:08 |
| ubottu | tannji this is what i always refer to: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:08 |
| psilo_ | I'm working on some automated configuration managament stuff, and it's ideal if I can start with a blank slate each time I test a change | 22:08 |
| delac | gnome-search-tool, spaces in search path, how to format the path so that gnome-search-tool accepts it? | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | psilo_you can clear your users home out and get default app settings. not sure outside of home | 22:09 |
| griwesx | usercheck_: i dont see when you ever need to insert EOF into a text file; EOL is LF (0x10) on Linux and CR+LF on windows. Just use notepad++ or gedit, they will automatically fix it | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | psilo_make a vm and rollback the snapshot | 22:09 |
| Slart | psilo_: I would go with a vm for that.. | 22:09 |
| dr_willis | psilo_: virtualbox makes sense in that case | 22:09 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: so you actually got the additional driver check box in settings to work? using fglrx drivers? that always kills the desktop for me and I have to resort to terminal to fix and revert | 22:09 |
| usercheck_ | Slart, thx ,maybe it can be solve my problem. so i must use 2 format, if want in win, use win format, and if want in linux use linux format,(txt file) , is it true? | 22:09 |
| tannji | holstein: thanks, looking at it now | 22:10 |
| griwesx | usercheck_: Your text editor will take care of it, stop obsessing over it | 22:10 |
| dr_willis | usercheck_: many apps support both | 22:10 |
| LittleAnon | Hello | 22:10 |
| Slart | usercheck_: depends on what we're talking about.. if you are writing source code it depends on the compiler.. I don't know if they handle both endings.. but this isn't really something you need to worry about.. | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tannji: which gpu do you have? | 22:10 |
| usercheck_ | griwesx thx for sugestion, will to try it | 22:10 |
| treehau55 | Hi, is there any hope for the future of linux to support the dual graphics cards? Or at least support turning one off completely so I dont always get <2 hours of battery life | 22:11 |
| usercheck_ | dr_willis thx, | 22:11 |
| dr_willis | treehau55: nvidia has made promises... | 22:11 |
| Slart | treehau55: there are stuff like bumblebee .. so there is hope | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | treehau55: bumblebee is getting better. imho its best avoided | 22:11 |
| holstein | treehau55: think of it this way.. will the vendors of those devices choose to support linux.. and i think they will | 22:12 |
| folorn | http://vpaste.net/J5ShZ | 22:12 |
| usercheck_ | Slart i;m writing both, | 22:12 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: 6750HD | 22:12 |
| folorn | forgot to post the error in my rage anyways didn't work gonna try synaptic and more googleing | 22:12 |
| usercheck_ | slart thx | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: backtrack STILL isnt supported here | 22:12 |
| folorn | well maybe i was wrong about this channel | 22:13 |
| holstein | folorn: AFAIK, bt has support channels... also, you can try and replicate the error in ubuntu | 22:13 |
| folorn | however i tried that channel NO ONE EVER talks in there | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: ask in #backtrack-linux | 22:13 |
| folorn | did no one ever talks | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: doesnt mean you are supported here | 22:13 |
| holstein | folorn: have you tried ubuntu? | 22:13 |
| Ben64 | folorn: then maybe you should use a distro with an active room? | 22:14 |
| treehau55 | Well, I've tried every which configuration and installation guide that exists. Is there anyway to just turn off the dedicated GPU and always use the integrated? | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | bt main channel is not on freenode folorn | 22:14 |
| tannji | I just about bought a nVidia 660 card, but read about all kinds of tearing affects with the Kepler chips... between that and the Mir/Wayland controversy, dont know what to do, lol | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: why not use Ubuntu and get all the Ubuntu support | 22:14 |
| holstein | treehau55: dis the vendor offer that option in the bios? | 22:14 |
| holstein | did* | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | folorn: you arent using Ubuntu so you dont get supported by its community | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | tannji: are you using Saucy pre-release? | 22:15 |
| holstein | treehau55: for my specific dual GPU chip, i used this *great* guide https://sites.google.com/site/mtrons/howtos/eeepc-1015pn | 22:15 |
| holstein | treehau55: you might be able to refer to it and see how to get one of them not to load | 22:15 |
| treehau55 | holstein, I have a super terrible bios. I can barely set my boot order. I wish I could rid myself of that as well | 22:15 |
| tga0 | on a 2 router network I can ping B from A, but not A from B | 22:16 |
| tannji | ActionParsnip: I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04... no Saucy | 22:16 |
| tga0 | how would you debug this | 22:16 |
| holstein | tga0: i would try a networking channel.. also, look at the firewalls | 22:16 |
| Slart | treehau55: some motherboards/laptops have specialized stuff for choosing one or the other card.. for my asus laptop I have a small kernel module that turns of the dedicated graphics chip.. googling for your motherboard/laptop model might give you some answers | 22:16 |
| tga0 | what's a better channel on freenode? | 22:16 |
| holstein | tga0: a networking channel might do you better.. this is ubuntu OS support | 22:17 |
| Slart | tga0: isn't there a channel called #networking ? | 22:17 |
| griwesx | tga0: You might it helpful to draw a network diagram and put your config into on it. They'll need to ask you for it to fix that, more than likely | 22:17 |
| treehau55 | another constant linux problem I have: My networking works 100x better in windows, which suprises me. I have a intel wimax 6150. I tried the guide where it told me to signal the kernel to turn off the wimax portion of the driver and it would give me better performance, but its still terrible | 22:17 |
| tga0 | thanks, I'll try in ##networking | 22:17 |
| holstein | treehau55: i took my 'not very well supported' by broadcom chip out, and traded the wifi for something that works better.. i think keeping that in mind might help you find support.. linux supports what it is allowed to "out of the box" mostly | 22:18 |
| griwesx | when intel is "not well supported" it's time to panic :) | 22:19 |
| treehau55 | I mean I wish I could just solder another wifi chip on my notebook but I dont think thats an option, haha | 22:19 |
| Waza420 | why cant i join #raspberrypi it says im not registered with services | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | griwesx; usually a cheap screen or monitor etc | 22:19 |
| Waza420 | when im CLEARLY logged in | 22:19 |
| holstein | Waza420: i would ask in #freenode | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | waza420: not an ubuntu issue, ask in #freenode | 22:19 |
| usercheck_ | how check/view all opened file in ubuntu process? | 22:19 |

| holstein | d4rkn30: for what? | 22:22 |
| k1l | d4rkn30: you shouldnt be using sudo all the time | 22:22 |
| griwesx | d4rkn30: Yes but it is highly not recommended. It's there to protect the system | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | d4rkn30: once you setup the OS you rarely use it | 22:22 |
| usercheck_ | ActionParsnip thx, | 22:22 |
| jrib | d4rkn30: what is that you are doing so often using sudo? | 22:22 |
| Slart | d4rkn30: sudo is a good idea.. you can customize it though.. check the sudoers file and the other configuration stuff for sudo | 22:23 |
| griwesx | Do NOT edit sudoers file directly. there's a command to do it safely. I forget the name. | 22:23 |
| d4rkn30 | I know, I know guys, its just every time i try and move encrypted files via the filemanager i get '' Not authorised'' Its mainly for thumar, as i use alot of encrypted drives | 22:24 |
| Slart | d4rkn30: yes.. what griwesx said.. dont edit it directly.. there is a command that does some safety checking before saving.. | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | d4rkn30: remeber, gksudo for GUI apps | 22:24 |
| griwesx | d4rkn30: Thunar has a thing to open it in root mode | 22:24 |
| d4rkn30 | griwesx, ahh i over looked that, You see i mainly do everything via Shell so typing sudo all the time tends to take up a lot of time. | 22:25 |
| griwesx | griwesx: what about mc? | 22:26 |
| griwesx | d4rkn30: oops, i meant you. do you use mc? | 22:26 |
| daftykins | d4rkn30: you're familiar with typing 'sudo -i' or -s to switch to root for a session? | 22:27 |
| holstein | d4rkn30: i use "sudo -s" | 22:27 |
| d4rkn30 | griwesx, imo i guess, and never heard of it, is it wise to look into ? | 22:27 |

| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| griwesx | d4rkn30: it's a file manager for terminal. package name is 'mc' or midnight commander | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ekushey: please dont advise that | 22:27 |
| usercheck_ | if i have given by someone one .deb file but i have check it ,and it is not from ubuntu,is that safe for me? | 22:28 |
| Slart | usercheck_: the safe thing is to assume it isn't | 22:28 |
| holstein | d4rkn30: if you want to have a root session.. sudo -s or sudo -i is the way to do it. if you dont want to type sudo | 22:28 |
| Ekushey | ActionParsnip: what else can he do? | 22:28 |
| griwesx | usercheck_: open it iwth the archive manager, not package manager, then it will not install | 22:28 |
| daftykins | Ekushey: safe things, for one | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ekushey: could add certain commands to not need password, not all. That will remive all security | 22:29 |
| usercheck_ | Slart txh, maybe caused im newbie, not yet know all source code. | 22:30 |
| griwesx | i think that ALL=(ALL) ALL is the default for ubuntu actually, at least for the sudoers groupi | 22:30 |
| usercheck_ | Slart thx, maybe caused im newbie, not yet know all source code., | 22:30 |
| Slart | usercheck_: no worries.. noone knows everything .. only those who don't ask stay dumb =) | 22:31 |

| === zim is now known as Guest99122 | ||

| Slart | usercheck_: there were some tools to change the hard drive access patterns.. I can't really remember what they were called.. I recall it being used to media-centers and such where hard drive noise was a big deal | 22:40 |
| usercheck_ | Ekushey, is it not normal? | 22:41 |
| usercheck_ | Ekushey, is it(sound) not normal? | 22:41 |
| Slart | usercheck_: sorry I can't help you any further | 22:41 |
| Ekushey | usercheck_: well, if the sound is loud, then it definitely means hardware problem... do you've warranty? | 22:42 |
| usercheck_ | Slart, thx i will find information about drive access pattern, | 22:42 |
| usercheck_ | Ekushey , warranty is end | 22:43 |
| usercheck_ | Ekushey , warranty is end several year ago | 22:44 |
| Slart | usercheck_: I'm not sure it was called exactly that.. but it might be worth a try | 22:44 |
| usercheck_ | Slart ok, thx .i will try some ways to do it | 22:45 |
| Slart | usercheck_: this might be it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_acoustic_management | 22:45 |

| info | B) Where would I check this ? | 22:58 |
| dr_willis | !minimal | 22:58 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:58 |
| Destep | Not sure if this is the right channel, but who wants to help a noob figure out how to connect to his Windows shares? | 22:59 |

| Destep | I've followed numerous guides and forum posts, all to no avail... | 23:00 |
| dr_willis | give details.. | 23:00 |
| treehau55 | is there no vgaswitcheroo in 12.04? | 23:01 |
| Destep | The closest I can get is using Naut to "Connect To", I get the password prompt, then it errors out... | 23:01 |
| daftykins | Destep: which Windows? | 23:02 |
| Destep | Then I get Failed to mount Windows share: Connection Timed Out | 23:03 |
| Destep | Windows 7 | 23:03 |
| info | dr_willis: Is this the same for Lubuntu ? | 23:03 |
| griwesx | Destep: try the ip address not hostname, for the server | 23:03 |
| daftykins | Destep: is that host in a homegroup currently? how is the share configured? | 23:03 |
| Destep | Yes, they're in a Homegroup | 23:03 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu is just tge desktop you install over the base install info | 23:03 |
| Destep | Sooo, smb://192.168.0.18/TV? | 23:04 |
| daftykins | Destep: also, in network + sharing centre, is it currently told it's attached to a home, office or public network? | 23:04 |
| Destep | Home | 23:04 |
| daftykins | i've never used a homegroup when using inter-OS sharing tbh | 23:04 |
| griwesx | Destep: Yes, try the IP | 23:05 |
| Destep | I would think it wouldn't matter, since everything is part of the same Workgroup... | 23:05 |
| daftykins | Destep: given homegroups use encryption.. | 23:05 |
| Destep | Hrmmm, good point... | 23:06 |
| Destep | Can Homegroups be disabled? | 23:06 |
| daftykins | Destep: yeah open the N&S centre and click on it, then select 'leave homegroup' | 23:06 |
| daftykins | Destep: so how have you set up your share? did you manually go to the sharing properties on a folder? | 23:07 |
| Destep | Working on it, one sec | 23:08 |
| treehau55 | does acpi_call work for samsung laptops? | 23:08 |
| holstein | treehau55: do you have one? try it on there, if so... that would be the best way to tell for certain | 23:09 |
| treehau55 | holstein, im just trying to disable the dedicated gpu all together | 23:09 |

| nightdrever | ok | 23:15 |
| ccclipsss_ | wilee-nilee remember that problem i was having creating a USB flash drive boot disk? | 23:15 |
| holstein | treehau55: when i got my dual GPU, i ran a few live CD's and tests.. then, i found that post i shared.. then, i had a few installs that i "tested" things in.. and went with what worked best.. the other scenario for me was to purchase something with linux support, but i got a good deal on this used | 23:15 |
| nightdrever | what line? | 23:16 |
| daftykins | nightdrever: i mean press enter less ;) so what kind of computer is it? | 23:16 |

| daftykins | nightdrever: have you installed all the updates beforehand? | 23:20 |
| nightdrever | the first time when pc would start i hadnt i installed at same time | 23:21 |

| treehau55 | holstein, do you know how I enable vga_switcheroo? | 23:21 |
| daftykins | nightdrever: ok, it's worth a go. do you have another computer you can come back online from to diagnose it if a problem occurs? | 23:21 |

| daftykins | nightdrever: which one did you try last time? | 23:24 |
| daftykins | gavin__: which wireless device? :) | 23:24 |
| nightdrever | i tried the one which says (recommended) | 23:24 |
| treehau55 | holstein, ah bumblebee wont help for my gpu, i have ati | 23:24 |
| holstein | treehau55: im not using bumblebee either | 23:24 |
| gavin__ | daftykins: model number is TL-WN822N | 23:24 |
| gavin__ | It is a TP-Link wireless device | 23:25 |
| holstein | treehau55: i do have nvidia, however.. but, it wont hurt to look at the manual info | 23:25 |
| daftykins | nightdrever: wouldn't hurt to try the one with the green spot on the left then. just run software update again just to make sure you're fully updated | 23:26 |
| daftykins | gavin__: which ubuntu? i take it you see no functionality at all with it connected? | 23:26 |
| nightdrever | the one with the green spot on the left im already using.... is that adequate? | 23:27 |
| gavin__ | ubuntu 10.10 | 23:27 |
| holstein | newmember_: i would try a server channel.. i would refer to http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private-cloud/openstack as well as consider the ubuntu based http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/announcing-openstack-builds | 23:27 |

| daftykins | nightdrever: are you wanting to use anything in particular in 3D terms? like games? | 23:29 |
| nightdrever | yeah | 23:29 |
| Slart | !swap | b3rz3rk3r, tried swapon? | 23:29 |
| ubottu | b3rz3rk3r, tried swapon?: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 23:29 |
| daftykins | gavin__: do you want to stick to 10.10 at all? | 23:30 |

| daftykins | nightdrever: maybe just try some games and see how you get on, if that's already an installed nvidia driver it might be fine already | 23:30 |
| gavin__ | daftykins: i can't seem to find the actual drivers for ubuntu | 23:31 |

| daftykins | schultza: that's more a virtualbox question than an Ubuntu one i'm afraid | 23:34 |
| gavin__ | daftykins: the reason i am still using ubuntu 10.10 is because the computer cant update it, even with using the terminal, the computer crashes and ends up with black screen | 23:34 |
| schultza | how!? | 23:34 |
| treehau55 | schultza, search for some guides that get the mouse working, thats not a ubuntu question, thats a Vbox question | 23:34 |
| holstein | schultza: i would apply uprades and make sure the vbox additions is installed.. i would make sure its not something simple with the focus of the VM as well | 23:35 |
| treehau55 | I had the same problem a while back its something to do in the mouse settings | 23:35 |

| scottcs76 | So does the system not use the xorg.conf in x11 at all? I don't understand where nvidia-settings is getting it's information from, or how to change it. | 23:45 |
| daftykins | scottcs76: it auto configures at boot | 23:45 |
| BAMbanda | griwesx, it mentions -r would take the folder and all its contents, but I don't want the folder, i just want the contents inside the folder and then I'll delete the flder | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | !xorgconf | 23:45 |
| ubottu | The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

| daftykins | gavin__: if it's plugged in what does "lsusb" give? does it talk about realtek for the wireless device? | 23:46 |
| griwesx | BAMbanda: So do myfolder/* and not myfolder | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | BAMbanda, use mv move instead of copy | 23:46 |

| scottcs76 | All I want to do is set a proper resolution on this monitor. For whatever reason, it gives me 1360x768 as an option, but I need 1366x768. The first one is not supported by my monitor. :( | 23:48 |
| gavin__ | daftykins: the installation part, the first part of post 4 but somehow it hasn't listed my wifi adapter | 23:48 |
