BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, nope, that would error. [ ] are not used like that. Furthermore the [ $2 != "left" | "right" | "up" | .. is not right00:00
aoteaBashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202781/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202787/00:01
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, you need to rewrite that, its all wrong. Try using "case" http://www.shellhacks.com/en/CASE-Statement-in-Bash-Example00:02
Bashing-omaotea: Look'n at them .00:03
aoteaBashing-om, now that I see the output from the later one, I suspect it might be Primus00:03
aoteaSeeing that was installed first with bumblebee which I later purged to try replace with Nvidia-prime only00:03
OpenSorceOh well boot-repair didn't work :-P00:04
SchnabeltierchenBlackFate okay, removed the [] around the curls, tweaked the if´s and swaped some ' with ", final version looking like http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?90565900:06
OpenSorceAnyone wanna take a look at the pastebin and see what they think? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202773/00:06

Bashing-omaotea: "rc  primus" That rc is (R)emoved but (C)onfig files remain ; should not be an issue . I am of the opionion that the 346 driver is the more stable, Want to try the 346 version and see what results ?00:07
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, bah, it's still messed up. give me 1-2 mins00:07
aoteaBashing-om, sure I'll give that one a run for it and see if the issue persists. Thanks for your time and help00:08
OpenSorceSo just to recap, my wife's laptop has failed to boot on the last two kernel updates. It either gives me the grub> or grub-rescue> prompt. I've used the liveusb to fix it twice and last time used boot-repair. The output from boot-repair is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202773/00:09
Bashing-omaotea: K .. when all settled out run ' dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge ' to cope with the "rc" marked packages .00:10
OpenSorceIt boots now but power cycles on the most recent kernel I have to use an older one to get it to work.00:10
aoteaBashing-om, does that remove all things ticked for "rc" from showing (and truly purging them from system with all their configs) ?00:12
Bashing-omOpenSorce: A quick question, Have you set the 1st hard drive as 1st boot priority in bios ?00:12
Bashing-omaotea: That is affirmative . Will clean out ALL packages that the package manager has marked as "rc" .00:14
OpenSorceBashing-om, hmmm... only one drive on the system so I doubt I've looked at it00:14
OpenSorceBashing-om, It's probably set to boot to the USB first if it's present since it works that way, hold on I'll look.00:14

Schnabeltierchenthx blackfate, but first let me take a selfie.... try to understand the script :P00:19
bazhangkate m47700:20
m477bazhang: thx00:20
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, didn't fully test it.. there could still be issues... Some notes. when you compare a $1 with a string.. make sure you write "$1" and not just $1. Also be careful when using single quotes with curl. You need double quotes for the curl command to understand the $200:21
OpenSorceBashing-om, moved it to 1st. No change, still power cycling on the newest kernel00:21
Bashing-omOpenSorce: . A couple of things I do not understand 1) " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="persistent" "" What is up with such a boot parameter in the /etc/default/grub file ?00:23
OpenSorceBashing-om, no clue. I didn't add that...00:24
SchnabeltierchenBlackFate when i compare $1 with a string, the "bit value" of $1 is getting compared, when doing "$1" the normal value is getting checked, right? So i do need to insert some " around $2 in thecurl line?00:25
BlackFateno, it's fine like that00:25
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, you are not comparing something inside curl, you just need the value of $200:26
SchnabeltierchenBlackFate so no " for $2 in the curl line?00:27
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, no from what i see. you can test the curl command by adding an echo in frond of curl00:28
BlackFateSchnabeltierchen, in the specific example from what is see you need to change it like that http://paste.ubuntu.com/14202948/00:30
Bashing-omOpenSorce: Then there is " hint-efi=hd0 " and " This live-session is not EFI-compatible. " Is this box UEFI enabled and booting in that mode ? -> SecureBoot maybe enabled. (??) .. This maybe above my pay grade .00:30
OpenSorceBashing-om, again not a clue. Gonna edit out the persistent parameter and see if that helps00:31
Bashing-omOpenSorce: K; also insre that you are booting in CCSM mode , if this box is UEFI endowed . ( for EFI booting there is no efi /boot partition ) .00:33
Bashing-ominsure*00:33
OpenSorceBashing-om, nah it's older than UEFI00:33
OpenSorceBashing-om, commenting out the persistent line makes it stop power cycling on the latest kernel but it now it locks up.00:37
Pilou_hi everyone00:38
OpenSorceWe can call that progress I suppose :-P00:38
Pilou_merry chrismas to you all00:38
OpenSorceMerry Christmas Pilou_00:39
SchnabeltierchenBlackFate something with passing the second argument is wrong, some " or ' around the $2 in the curl line is missing00:39

OpenSorceBashing-om, I guess I'm gonna purge that latest kernel so it will boot without input and tell my wife to stop updating for now :-P00:40

michel_(michel_) I move my server to a different location and a different router but now i dont get an internet connection. The interfaces are set up correctly as i can tell at least it worked before. But now dhcp nor static can ping outside. For static the ip is set but for dhcp the server doesnt get an ip from the router. I need some tips where to look at. I am out of ideas10:57
ikoniamichel_: are you saying your machine is no longer getting a dhcp ip from the new router ?10:58
michel_ikonia yes10:58
ikoniamichel_: is your machine set to use dhcp addresses ?10:59
michel_ikonia i tried but on the new location it needs a static. But it worked on the location before11:00
ikoniamichel_: why does it need to be static on the new location ?11:00
michel_Ikonia because the router it set up so. And for port forwarding11:01
ikoniamichel_: port forwarding normally responds to a dhcp address given from the router11:01
ikoniathats how the router can port forward as it knows about your machine due to getting an address from the dhcp scope11:01
michel_Ikonia but not this time and i dont know why11:02
ikoniamichel_: ok - so if you have set a static IP correctly, (remember it will need to be a private not public IP) then the things you need to check are 1.) link status 2.) dns servers 3.) default gateway11:03
michel_Ikonia to be detailed here i set up the router for a friend and at my home i used dhcp and worked like it should. Setting the interface inst hard there are plenty of guides out there. But on my friends home the server cant reach the router with static nor dhcp11:04
ikoniamichel_: if you setup the router, why did you set it up to need a static IP rather than as you had done at home11:05
michel_Ikonia how do i check link status? Or you mean the cable itself?11:05
ikoniamichel_: you need to check the things I've given you - link status, dns servers default gateway11:06
ikoniamichel_: tools such as ethtool will show the link status, as well as the router home page,11:06

NielsMknI'm using ubuntu 14.04 and when I run 'echo $BASH_SOURCE' in my terminal, I get an empty string as response. Is this right?12:35
ikoniahave you set BASH_SOURCE ?12:37
NielsMknDo I need to do that?12:37
MonkeyDustNielsMkn  what would you like to find? i guess you want   env|grep SHELL12:38
ikoniahow else would it expect to be st ?12:38
ikoniaset ?12:38
ikoniaNielsMkn: what are you actually trying to do12:38
NielsMknI'm trying to run a script which has 'DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )' in a line. When I run it, I get a 'Bad substitution' error.12:39
ikoniathats not going to work then12:39
ikoniaNielsMkn: what is this script meant to do ?12:39
NielsMknIts a script that I got when I checked out a project from github. Its meant to execute scripts in the subfolders and build the modules.12:40
NielsMknThis is the github project by the way. https://github.com/soomla/unity3d-store12:41
ikoniaNielsMkn: worth with them to sort out their scripts and dependencies then12:41
NielsMknhmm, I wonder no one reported this problem so far. Its a pretty famous plugin.12:42
ikoniathey probably read the docs and made sure the env was setup right12:42
NielsMknhmm ok. I'll re-read the docs and check if I've missed out something. Thanks!12:43

aoteaWhen having an issue, how do one narrow down what is causing it?15:12
cfhowlettGuest79544, any installed UBUNTU system retains this information.  so ... you either scrambled your installation or you do not have ubuntu.15:13
VoyageBen64,  Ben65 sorry to highlight but whcih one of you were chatting about skype issue yesterday with me/15:15
MonkeyDustaotea  by finding what's *not* it, until one cause remains15:15
Guest79544no, I use it for a long time. but this is the first time. this kind of things happen.15:16
cfhowlettGuest79544, nope.  what you say does not match with known ubuntu behavior.  If true, you need to download a trusted .iso, verify the .iso and clean install.15:17
cfhowlettGuest79544, also, even a live session booted from the USB will return information on cat /etc/issue.15:17

cfhowlettthat will return a url with system information.  paste the url here.15:20
SchrodingersScatt3chguy: I would say that's 'at your own risk' if you want to try that.  If there isn't a package for your version then it may be more desirable to compile it, but that's not really 'supported' here either afaik.15:21
cfhowlettt3chguy, compiling would certainly be preferable to mucking about mixing releases15:21

skryptkittyits like netcut from acai.com but its for linux16:09
MonkeyDustDannyNL2015  use a cabled keyboard during installation, configure wireless after ubuntu is installed16:11
mrsam_<ikonia> so i think this not my problem...i want a program that when i record my monitor, can see my selfwith camera inside monitor16:11
DannyNL2015@MonkeyDust : i could unhook this usb cabled keyboard and try with that, thank you for your advice , first time i noticed that the keyboard is not working :(16:11

crimewavebangbani'm getting `Permission denied (publickey).` when trying to `git submodule update --init`. i think it has to do with the fact that ssh-add -l tells me I have no identity. I'm lost.16:17

passelI can figure out getting sound drivers installed I guess17:08

sergey_atom opens file but when I try to save it save blank file17:57
ioriasergey_, not for me .... i use geany17:57
sergey_i did many years ((17:57
sergey_is there anything else like Geany or atom.io17:58
crimewavebangbanso does anyone get the same git error as me?17:58
tgm4883sergey_: just to be clear, you would rather switch editors than slightly change how you access the file?17:58
nicomachuscrimewavebangban: you didn't answer any questions about it.17:58
ioriasergey_, try again Nautilus -> Connect to Server -> sftp://server/folder , then open the file with geany17:58
sergey_i do it17:59
sergey_ctrl+L sftp://user@host.com17:59
sergey_right click - open in Geany17:59
crimewavebangbannicomachus: what were the questions i didn't answer?17:59
nicomachuscrimewavebangban: at what point during that command are you getting the connection refused error? during the git clone or during the script?17:59
sergey_or open in -> Geany \ Gedit \Atom18:00
ioriasergey_, double-click on Connect to server , then you need the remote folder  mounted....18:00
sergey_its mounted18:00
crimewavebangbannicomachus: "the error is using `./get_libs.sh` when it tries to run `git submodule update --init`"18:01
ioriasergey_, open it with geany... but what kind of file are we talking about ?18:01
sergey_php mostly18:01
sergey_or xml or css18:01
nicomachuscrimewavebangban: I would suggest opening that script up in a text editor and finding which connection is refusing you.18:02
datalayerhello everyone i'm newbie on this i'm so glag to be here18:03
crimewavebangbannicomachus: github is refusing me. i'm not sure why.18:03
SchrodingersScatdatalayer: glag you could make it18:03
sergey_ioria, look http://storage3.static.itmages.com/i/15/1225/h_1451066592_8241096_fb62d4dbb9.png18:03
crimewavebangbannicomachus: did you try to reproduce the errors? the script is 2 lines long.18:03
nicomachuscrimewavebangban: no, I'm not installing a crappy bot onto my machine just to troubleshoot. Looks like that script only has one link, this one: https://oyoyo.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/oyoyo/oyoyo/18:04
nicomachuswhich I can access from a browser.18:04

nicomachuscrimewavebangban: and that link contains 7 python scripts which you can copy manually.18:05
datalayerthank schrodingerscat  anyone known a link for find e-books about smartphones?18:05
ioriasergey_, no problem with geany and xml ....18:05
crimewavebangbannicomachus: that's not the link that refuses me18:05
ioriasergey_, tested with this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762271%28v=vs.85%29.aspx18:06
nicomachuscrimewavebangban: you told me it was refusing the connection during the script run.18:06
crimewavebangbanit is.18:06
nicomachuswell that link is the only one in that script.18:06
nicomachussee: https://github.com/stenyak/breakbot/blob/master/get_libs.sh18:06
crimewavebangbanthat's the only url but the command `git submodule update --init` probably connects to gh.18:07
sergey_ioria, some monthes ago all worked18:07
crimewavebangbanlol i have the source right here i know that's the only url18:07
SchrodingersScatdatalayer: that doesn't sound on-topic, this is specifically ubuntu support.  there's !touch for the ubuntu on phones. Can try #ubuntu-offtopic if it's a more general question.18:07

ioriasergey_,  changed something... ? fonts , stuff like that ?18:07

DosTuMaiUsually a black one if I remember correctly.18:27
crimewavebangbanwhat's off the cards?18:28
nicomachusyou are. in the cards of "being on topic"18:28
daftykinscrimewavebangban: time to be quiet now, if you wouldn't mind.18:28
Someguy123important question: why is ubuntu.com HTTP only?18:33
daftykinswrong day of the year for that query.18:34
Kardoswhy is that?18:34
Someguy123HTTPS is pretty important for distribution sites, I'd rather not get MITM'd trying to download a copy of ubuntu18:34
daftykinsthat's what hashes are for.18:34
Someguy123daftykins: without HTTPS, the MITM could modify the hashes on the fly18:34
daftykinsi think that's way too paranoid talk myself18:34
Kardosdaftykins, if the hashes are insecurely transmitted the hashes can be edited too18:34
Someguy123so the hashes are pointless18:34
daftykinsno, because the hashes are published...18:34
daftykinsoh i get what you mean now18:35
daftykinsupon viewing the file, yeah18:35
daftykinsi don't really choose to live my life under cover of tinfoil to consider such angles18:35
Someguy123all it needs is for the MITM to have a rule to s/ABCD1234/CDEF4677/18:35
Someguy123bam18:35
Kardosdaftykins, ahh, the "pretend the problem doesn't exist" excuse, brilliant18:35
Someguy123now you download a fake ubuntu ISO, with a fake hash that matches the site18:35
Kardosi hope you don't work at a bank18:35
Kardosor anything important for that matter18:36
frivolhard core18:36
ikoniayou can't modify the package hash18:36
daftykinsKardos: horses for courses, we're folks online talking about a free OS... not Canonical employees or those at a bank.18:36
ikoniaor the gpg key the packages are signed with18:36
Someguy123ikonia: sure, but you could mislead users into seeing a different GPG key18:36
ikoniano you can't18:36
daftykinsKardos + Someguy123 i'm sure this point could be raised to the appropriate people if you truly believed in it enough to pursue.18:37
daftykinshowever again, worst day in the year to try and talk about it.18:37
Kardoswhat was a difficult attack 10y ago is commonplace today (google mitmproxy), there's no reason to not employ proper https these days18:37
ikoniaKardos: there is no need for https18:37
ikoniathe packages are signed18:37
ikoniaand there would be an overhead on servers that is not required, hence why it's not being done18:37
Kardosikonia, we're not talking about updates, we're on ISOs18:38
Someguy123where do you even find the signatures, on the ubuntu site I only see the hashes18:38
Kardosdaftykins, security doesn't matter on christmas? you're an odd guy18:38
ikoniawhat has the iso got to do with anything18:38
ikoniaits the same concept18:38
ikoniathe iso's are checksummed18:38
Kardosand the checksums transmitted in the clear, ripe for interception18:38
daftykinsKardos: no, it is you who is odd... i'm saying everyone is on holiday so you coming here is a waste of time today :)18:38
ikoniaand are supposed to be distributed by torrent18:38
proskillHi crew18:38
daftykinsKardos: we're just volunteers, not folks that can action change, it's quite frankly laughable18:38
DosTuMaiIf checksums don't match, don't use. Why be so paranoid about something that rarely happens, if at all?18:39

daftykinsit actually wouldn't solve the problem, because HTTPS isn't infallible :>18:41

ikoniadaftykins: what does it matter, we are in fantasy land anyway18:41
DosTuMaiReally, it only matters when you're downloading the torrent, and the checksum changes is something is modified on the file.18:41
Someguy123daftykins: it's a brick wall where there would previouslt be pretty much no wall at all18:41

daftykinsSomeguy123: although your point could do with bolstering, by stating how other common distros do have this in place (as i just looked up). Also, requiring just a certificate is a huge over-simplification - the web servers would consume more resources to provide this too18:56

daftykinsdiamonds: so own the document root of your chosen web server as www-data:www-data ; then add your user to the 'www-data' group.19:17
diamondsI set a password for that user, also created a home dir & copied my ssh key from root ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to `ghost`s homedir19:17

daftykinsJohn[Lisbeth]: can you answer the questions in full on a single line?20:02
=== bulbasaur is now known as nchambers
OpenSorceikonia, this is an older machine with a centrino core duo proc. Maybe it's like my old machine with the Transmeta Crusoe proc and simply can't run newer kernels...20:03

John[Lisbeth]the other one was 32 gb20:03

daftykinsthat's plenty of space for a standard ~1GB ubuntu ISO to go on, are you using Windows to prepare this?20:04
John[Lisbeth]Yes20:04
OpenSorceJohn[Lisbeth], did you try formatting the usb drive first?20:04
John[Lisbeth]I tried right clicking and hitting format20:05
OpenSorceJohn[Lisbeth], formatted with what file system? NTFS or Fat32?20:05
John[Lisbeth]I think it only gave the option fo vfat or ntfs20:05
OpenSorceJohn[Lisbeth], which did you choose?20:06
John[Lisbeth]I did not choose ntfs20:06
John[Lisbeth]Nvm I chose fat3220:06
daftykinsJohn[Lisbeth]: that approach won't help, i would suggest wiping the disk fully via Windows' command line utility, 'diskpart'20:06
John[Lisbeth]I have cygwin installed20:07
John[Lisbeth]with a few linux tools20:07
daftykinsi wouldn't consider that useful personally20:07

daftykinsLinuxerist: #ubuntu-touch would be the place for the default20:11
LinuxeristOpenSorce: This is not a convertible, but a tablet with a dock and a bluteooth keyboard. I want a way to use it well as just a tablet.. have been unsatisfied with keyboard options and support in Unity. Is LXDE better with gesture support and such?20:11

ikoniaOpenSorce: both are equally concerning20:18
wuschLORdaftykins: can't add it - allways says the file has been changed20:18
OpenSorceikonia, I've done tests on the hdd and memory, not seeing any issue there and of course it runs fine on the older kernel20:19
ikoniaOpenSorce: the drop back to the grub prompt is before the kernel, so the kernel update maybe more the cause, rather than the problem20:19
ikoniaOpenSorce: do the initrd's for the new kernels exist ?20:20
daftykinswuschLOR: no you edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" - but that's a *permanent* change, you can just try once on boot first by editing GRUB once20:20
OpenSorceikonia, yes. Well after the failed update they do. After I get the grub menu back I generally purge them and try again.20:20
ikoniaOpenSorce: I don't think your problem is the actual kernel,20:21
OpenSorceikonia, what are you thinking it is?20:21
ikoniaOpenSorce: I'm not sure, but getting the grub prompt is before the kenrel, so something is wrong "there"20:22
ikoniaeg: updating the grub application to look at the wrong config file, the missing pre-boot initrd something like that20:22

daftykinsridiculous dude, spend little and you'll have more problems and end up spending more to fix the issues that will come up21:43

MWMI had considered a small SSD for the OS itself but am still foggy on the partition format with LVM.  For instance when I installed to a blank HDD I had 3 partitions created.  I know one was swap21:50
ikoniaMWM: partition format with lvm ?21:50
MWMikonia:  you see?  foggy.  when I did a fresh install, there were 3 partitions created.  1 swap and the others 2 were labled LVM21:51
* tgm4883 doesn't use LVM21:51
ikoniaMWM: what's the problem though ?21:51
MWMikonia: I was just discussing why I had chosen not to use a small SSD for my OS : because I was foggy on how the install actually worked or how much space I would need21:52
phunysantaIf you don't know how to use LVM, I wouldn't recommend using it.21:52
MWMikonia:  my problem lies with a HDD that willl not seem to stay formatted no matter what tools I use21:52
MWMI chose to use LVM because I read that it was "easier to resize partitions and take snapshots" or some such21:53
MWMphunysanta:  is it possible to remove LVM without a complete reinstallation?21:54
phunysantaif you don't know why you would need it, I wouldn't recommend using it either.21:54
phunysantait's possible, but would involve knowing how lvm works, and using a livecd/liveusb21:54
MWMphunysanta:  from what I read of it it seems I would need it to expand the size of my OS partition and to take snapshots21:55
MWMbut if it requires more knowledge than how to use a keyboard, I will save it for a different day :)21:56
k1l_MWM: LVM got good intentions but adds a layer of issues. so its making a system more complex.21:56
phunysantaMWM: unfortunately I cannot dedicate the time required to walk you through that right now.  Family over.  But someone else is more than welcome.21:56
phunysantaSorry 😞21:56
tgm4883Doesn't LVM allow you to resize a filesystem that is online?21:57
MWMno worries phunysanta Ill just keep that in mind for my next install.  thank you for the tip21:57
nermatrying to upgrade ubuntu 8.04 hardy to newer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Hardy , changed those repos to old-releases.ubuntu.com since they are not working. on do-release-upgrade I get I get an error like: DistUpgradeMain.py:102: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.621:59
daftykinsnerma: waste of time, clean install and migrate your data21:59
Ben64nerma: you'd be much much better off installing 14.04 fresh21:59
trixihello21:59
k1l_nerma: you waited that long that 10.04 (the next LTS after 8.04) is EOL too.22:00
k1l_i suggest a clean 12.04 or 14.04 install, too. not worth dealing with the issues that a 2times EOL LTS upgrade brings.22:00
tgm4883seriously, install fresh22:01
nermaWould have done a fresh install if it was my own box, trying to help out a friend and unsure if I'd like to setup his whole system since I dont know what he runs or his config22:01
nermaSo no easy way to upgrade?22:01
daftykinsnerma: said friend doesn't have this thing online right?22:01
daftykinswe're telling you it'd be a waste of time22:02
daftykinsset up a new one, then copy over the data22:02
tgm4883Just because you reinstall, doesn't mean you have to wipe his home directory22:02
Ben64nerma: and it might cause more problems than a fresh install22:02
nermadaftykins: it's been offline for years I believe22:02
daftykinsgood stuff!22:02
trixiI have a little issue: I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows on my work laptop, but I wasn't the one who set it up and now I'd need to log in to Win, but they forgot to make me a user account22:03
MonkeyDusttrixi  that's for ##windows22:04
trixido you guys know if there's a way to make a user account from Ubuntu?22:04
nermahttp://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/22:04
nermaor something like that22:04
MonkeyDusttrixi  you want a remote login to windows?22:05
nermaThanks Ben64 , daftykins. Will try to convince him to do a clean install22:05
daftykinsnerma: is it a physical box run from home, do you know?22:06
nermayes, it is22:06
daftykinsah, yeah backup and nuke time22:06
daftykinsshould be easy depending on what it does22:06
nermaThink he's been using it as a files, vpn and http server22:07
trixiMonkeyDust, actually I think I'm gonna do it another way so don't mind me please22:07
OneM_IndustriesSo, I have a machine that has 3 primary partions already, and I want to install ubuntu. How do I make it install inside of an extended partition?22:08
trixithank you, bye22:08
nermaWill see if I can figure out how to backup most of his files and do a clean setup for him.22:08
nermaThanks22:08
ikoniaOneM_Industries: just make the partitions it needs inside the extneded partition22:08
OneM_IndustriesOk, so an EXT4 partition inside that partition?22:09
ikoniaOneM_Industries: just treat anything inside the extened partition the same as you would a primary partition22:09
OneM_IndustriesOk,22:09
OneM_IndustriesSo, if I made a linux-swap partition before installing ubuntu, would it recognize and use it?22:12
ikoniaOneM_Industries: it will use it if you tell it to22:14
OneM_IndustriesOk.22:14

MonkeyDustSebastianTCL  how did you install it?22:26
afghanon top of what distro?22:26
k1l_SebastianTCL: remove enlightenment and use another desktop you like better22:27
SebastianTCLI am already using calm window manager and that works22:27
SebastianTCLwhat I need to know is how to completely remove enlightenment from the terminal22:27
ikoniaremove the packages22:27
k1l_SebastianTCL: depends a bit on how you installed it22:27
MonkeyDustSebastianTCL  what command di you use to install it22:27
MonkeyDustdid*22:28
SebastianTCLI think i used lubuntu software center but I can't remember22:28
ikoniait will be from the E20 PPA22:28
ikoniafor some reason that has had a marketing push recently22:28
MonkeyDustSebastianTCL  ok, then use the software center to delete it22:28
TJ-ikonia: I think that's due to E20 being recently released, and an update from E1722:28
ikoniaTJ-: probably22:28
SebastianTCLwait wait wait22:29
SebastianTCLis there a way to check a log to answer your question better?22:29
Ben64SebastianTCL: search for it in the software center and you'll see if its installed that way or not22:30
TJ-SebastianTCL: package manager logs are under /var/log/apt/ (older logs are gzip-compressed)22:30
SebastianTCLok22:31
SebastianTCLthanks guys22:31

tomerI'm trying to install Warzone2100 3.1.2 which has been out for a year but no updated in the repositories. I tried to get it via the "getdeb" project (http://www.playdeb.net/game/Warzone2100) but once Ubuntu Software Center opens, it offers me the 3.1.1. that I can get through the usual channels. Any suggestions?23:01
ikoniause the version thats in the ubuntu repos23:01
tomerI'd rather not use the old one, especially since i want to try multiplayer games with others, who have 3.1.2.23:03
